Blessed Health offers African-American women the medical information and inspirational motivation they need to achieve total health -- a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

Many black women will go to church all day every Sunday but won't take one day out of the year to get a Pap test and mammogram done. Yet that yearly doctor's visit could help save lives. Often the first people to pray when a serious illness strikes, black women may be the last to seek timely medical care. As a result, they are suffering with, and dying from, manageable illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes more than any other group in the United States.
It doesn't have to be that way. Don't wait until a health emergency happens before turning to your faith and your physician. You can achieve optimal health by arming yourself with medical knowledge and a strong spiritual base. Research has proven that a well-nurtured spiritual self can help to replenish, rejuvenate, and safeguard your physical self.
Written by a prominent African-American OB/GYN and a highly respected journalist, Blessed Health is a personal health and spirituality guide for every stage of a black woman's life. Included here is important information on:
  • How your body works, and what can be done to prevent or help solve common health problems, including pelvic infections and fibroid tumors
  • How to find a doctor that ministers to your physical and emotional needs
  • How to successfully cope with illness, from a faith perspective
  • How spiritual wisdom and prayer can decrease the harmful effects of stress
  • How best to take care of your breasts and reproductive organs, and decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer

and much, much more, including the latest on managing menopause.

Great pillow that helped relieve my neck pain!
This is probably one of the best, if not the best pillow I have ever used. I have periodically had a stiff neck in the mornings and the past 2 months it was constant. I got these pillows about a week ago and the first night that I tried it, my stiff neck was significantly less in the morning. I tried it for another 4 days and each day my neck felt better. I then visited my sister and used the pillow they had and the next morning my neck had pain again. The following night when I was back home, I used this pillow again and in the morning my neck pain was gone. I was completely surprised that this pillow worked for me, as I have tried many other pillows over the years. My wife, who also has neck pains, said that this pillow also helped her. The retail price is on the expensive side, but to me it is worth it. It comes with 2 queen size pillows that easily fit queen size pillow cases. It also comes with its own zippered cover that is made of a very soft microfiber type of material. The pillows are made of memory foam with portions of it more firm than others so that it can support your neck and head correctly. Depending on how you sleep, the pillow can be flipped or turned to match your sleeping style. I tend to sleep on my back and use the side that cradles your head. It is indicated by the blue portion of the pillow that I show in the pictures. The part that supports my neck is a little stiffer than where my head rests. Not sure if this works for everyone, but for me it is the best pillow I have ever tried, without a doubt!

Amazing Support and Sleep Quality… But the Price Is Hard to Justify
These pillows genuinely surprised me. The best way I can describe them is that they somehow feel soft and firm at the same time. The memory foam is very responsive and almost feels like slime or Play-Doh in the way you can squish and shape it, but it immediately returns back to its original form. They feel premium the moment you touch them. I usually have a slightly hard time falling asleep and tend to toss around for a while before getting comfortable, but with this pillow I fell asleep incredibly fast. I’m not exaggerating when I say it took me less than two minutes the first night I used it. That alone impressed me. The biggest difference for me has been shoulder and neck comfort. I have a weaker right shoulder, and sleeping on that side normally causes discomfort or makes me wake up in pain during the night. With this pillow, I was actually able to sleep on my right side comfortably and woke up without that usual soreness. I also noticed I slept through the night without waking up repeatedly to readjust, which is rare for me. The contour shape definitely helps with alignment. The center cradles your head nicely while the raised edges support your neck well, especially for side sleeping. I can see why some people call these orthopedic pillows. The cooling pillow covers are also really nice. They feel smooth, breathable, and cool against the skin, which made the overall sleep experience feel more comfortable and “high-end.” That said, these pillows are not for everyone. I can understand some of the other reviews mentioning that the shape can feel restrictive if you move around a lot during sleep, or if you prefer a flatter pillow. These are very specifically designed pillows, not the kind you casually fold and bunch up however you want. My only major issue is the price. The pillows themselves are genuinely excellent, but I personally cannot justify spending around $330 for two pillows. I received them through the Amazon program, and while I really do love using them, if I were paying full price with my own money, I probably would not purchase them at that cost. If the price comes down significantly, though, I could absolutely see these being worth it for people dealing with neck or shoulder pain. Overall, the comfort and support are fantastic, and they noticeably improved my sleep quality. My neck and shoulder feel much better in the mornings, which honestly matters more than fancy marketing words ever will. The pillows are great. The pricing department just seems to have taken a very confident nap.
