What would you do if you are notified by your doctor that you have a chronic disease and you are left with 5 years of living without nursing? That is what Prof. Rafi (Rafael) Eldor was told 7 years ago and he used ballroom dancing as a medicine in order overcome his difficulties. Several hundred patients followed .
Rafi Eldor is a professor of Economics and an expert in managing risk with, options and futures contracts. After studying in Tel Aviv University for the first degree eldor recieved his Master degree and Ph.D from Harvard University. When he returned to Israel he started teaching in Tel Aviv University. Between 1985 and 1988, he was a lecturer at both Colombia and Boston Universities. He was also one of the first lecturers of the interdisciplinary center in Herzeliya, as well as the head of the economics and the finance department.. At 2008, Eldor was diagnosed with Parkinson disease. In order to slow down the disease Elsdor started dancing . Eldor danced with famous dancers such as Anna Aronov and others, as well as competing in different competitions and appearing in various events. Eldor has been for the last 20 years the chairman of the investing committee of the Israel Cancer Association voluntaril

Rafi Eldor is one of Israel’s leading economists. After graduating with a PhD from Harvard, Eldor introduced into the Israeli academia many innovations in the way of teaching economics. He devotedly advocates a hands-on approach which requires students to practice economics and trade and not merely learn about them from the text books. For Eldor this hands-on approach is more than a way of teaching, but a way of life. When Eldor was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease he confronted his condition with the same attitude which he practices in his professional career.
Confronting Parkinson
After being diagnosed with Parkinson, Eldor testifies that he took the news with great pain. After consulting a specialist he decided to turn to sports to confront his condition and contrast its limiting symptoms with movement and physical action. After trying several sportive activities such as Tai-Chi and swimming, Eldor decided to try dancing. Eldor notes in humor that at the time nothing seemed so far apart from his stature as a famous economist than dance, but he enjoyed the popular TV show, “Dancing with Stars”, and decided to give it a try. When he went to the first class his partner told him that they will have to dance for miles in order for Eldor to learn the Cha-Cha dance. But, as he says, he likes challenges, and practice is his middle name. That was the beginning of his journey to become a semi-professional dancer and a source of inspiration for many who confront the Parkinson disease. After some practice not only did Eldor managed to master the art of ballroom dancing while maintaining his job at the academia, but also to confront the symptoms of the Parkinson successfully while beating all specialists’ predictions.
Dance as a Remedy
Dance as a way of confronting the limiting symptoms of Parkinson is supported by extensive research. The logic of it is fitting with Eldor’s attitude towards economics as an academic field, as dance is a hands-on approach to treating Parkinson. While in the past Parkinson patients were only treated with pills and limited physical activities, dance challenges the patient to do everything the condition tends to limit. Parkinson patients’ muscles are often stiff, they find it hard to perform seemingly simple motoric tasks, and many suffer from low morale. Dance is the antithesis of these symptoms. The dancer practices control over his body, and learns how to move accurately according to the rhythm, which exercises the dancer’s body movement and control. He also has to be flexible, which exercises agility. And finally the music, social interaction, and vibrant atmosphere are a great morale-boost for those who are burdened by the disease. Not only do all these merits resonate with Eldor, but many dance institutions now offer special courses designated for Parkinson patients.
Spreading the Word
The unique character of Eldor, a famous economists who managed to confront Parkinson with dance has made him a source of inspiration, as well as a celebrity of sorts. These days, along with his career as a professor, Eldor dedicates himself to spreading the remedy of dance to the wide public. Eldor actively maintains a Facebook page and a blog dedicated to the issue, he regularly performs in dance festivals around the world (often with his famous dance partner Anna Aharonov), and held a TED talk about his personal experience, inspiring others to start dancing.
What are the health effects of mobile phones and wireless radiation? While Australia has led the world in safety standards, including compulsory seat-belt legislation, plain packaging on cigarettes, and product and food disclosure legislation, it falls behind in addressing the significant issues associated with mobile phone use.
"The truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation" -- Dr Devra Davis
"The truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation: what we know, what we need to find out, and what you can do now"
Presented by Dr Devra Davis, Visiting Professor of Medicine at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Visiting Professor of Medicine at Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey.
The Lecture
What are the health effects of mobile phones and wireless radiation? While Australia has led the world in safety standards, including compulsory seat-belt legislation, plain packaging on cigarettes, and product and food disclosure legislation, it falls behind in addressing the significant issues associated with mobile phone use. In this Dean’s Lecture, epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation expert, Dr Devra Davis, will outline the evolution of the mobile phone and smartphone, and provide a background to the current 19 year old radiation safety standards (SAR), policy developments and international legislation. New global studies on the health consequences of mobile/wireless radiation will be presented, including children’s exposure and risks.

when you have juiced the Carrots ( as with any vegetable and fruit,) always drink it within 6 minutes of juicing, who!e the enzymes are still alive, for best results. They die after that, and although there's still benefits, nowhere near as powerful as when the enzymes are still alive.
im 44 yo but still look 10 yrs younger...i take carrot juicce 1 glass a day euals 4pcs of carrots, for over a year and a half...i notie my skin become firmer and glowing,..i didnt get sick since then even simple colds and flu etc..i stop taking any synthetic vitamins anymore ...along with carrot juice i also dringking warm honey lemon right when i wake up in the morning..it boost collagen,immune system..
I think, when it comes to something as serious as cancer, in these days, many of us have found other seemingly drastic measures that work quite well. I happened to be in Mexico 11 years ago and was advised to do chemo and/or radiation. I did neither. I started drinking a shake daily made from the natural noni fruit picked off the trees and blueberries and honey for flavor.for two months. I cut out meat (all meat, which includes turkey, chicken, beef, lamb and especially ham and pork. I stopped eating white bread. I stopped eating anything that contained sugar, especially white, which also included syrups, pastries, crackers, sodas, canned or bottled juices and such. My way worked perfectly FOR ME. I tend to be very decisive so I stick my plans to the finish if I believe in them. >> Namaste.
Congratulations on your miraculous recovery!! l believe in juicing. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with uterine cancer. She's from the generation that trusts whatever their Dr. tells them. So. she chose to go through chemo. To help her get through the chemo, I made 32 ounce mason jars of carrot juice with ginger, lemons and apples. (Google search) the recipe which she dranked every day. This juice helped sustain her during her treatment since she didn't feel like or couldn't keep solid food down. The juice also kept her from getting nauseous. She has been cancer free for 8 years and looks younger than her 80 years! Plus. her hair grew back VERY quickly. I believe in juicing. I juice on a regular basis. Not just carrot. but also green juices such as kale, spinach, cucumber, jalapeno peppers, etc. Recipes are on line
