Happiness Is A State Of Mind

Nancy Addison — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:16:29 +0000

Everyone seems to always be pursuing happiness, but happiness should come naturally and easily. Happiness is an art, as well as a state of mind. We create this art by taking specific action steps. In each moment of time, we choose what we focus on and what we do. In doing this, we create our own hologram of reality in which we reside. Every second, we are creating our hologram of being and our state of happiness.

Our mindset is vitally important in this endeavor. What we choose to think about is a choice, but oftentimes our mind goes to a default program created from our past experiences. When we allow our mind to go back to past situations, the emotions from those experiences, good or bad, come rushing back to us. They keep us in the past, and prevent us from truly experiencing the present moment in its fullness.

How do we know what our default program is? One way to know this, is to start to notice what our mind drifts to when we are not doing a task. What thought comes up in our mind? That is the default place our mind goes to when it is free to pull up anything it chooses.

When we have a thought (any thought), it carries energy with it and creates pathways in the brain. The more we think about a subject, the stronger that path in the brain becomes.

If we are thinking about past hurts or traumas, then the path can become very strong and quite literally start pulling our mind back to those thoughts, simply because it has created such a strong connection.

To get off the old worn pathway of thoughts and create new more joyful ones, we quite literally have to recognize that our mind is doing this. We must choose to release those old (sometimes negative) thoughts, and refuse to allow them into our present moment and state of mind. In this way, we nurture ourselves by taking a new path, and avoid the continuation of thoughts and emotions from the past that no longer serve us or improve our lives.

Consciously choosing a new, positive, and more present time, thought, and focus can help move our mind away from our old patterns. Each morning, as we awaken, we should choose how to approach that day. We should choose to do it with a cheerful, grateful heart, thankful for all of our blessings. This is a state of being that is positive, and brings forth joy in our lives and the lives of everyone around us.

There are times when we may need to change what we are doing to create a new, higher energy feeling and shift our state of mind. We can take a walk outside, or listen to uplifting music. When we do this, we start creating a higher vibration and get our mind on the present moment. We are making new pathways in our brain that will start to offset the old patterns, by creating newer, stronger, and more positive connections.

It is a choice. It may not always seem easy, but if we concentrate and focus on doing this, it will get easier. Any time we start to do something new, we are creating change. Going for positive change and focusing on positive, present day moments can be a powerful way to create true peace in our hearts. This can help manifest new possibilities for happiness, and unexpected miracles to occur.

Whenever fear or doubt come into our mind or heart, it automatically lowers our vibration and becomes like a vortex leading us onto a downhill slope. Avoiding this can be handled by simply recognizing this, and actually forcing our mind to think of something more constructive. When these fearful thoughts come into our mind, Gregg Braden (an internationally renowned scientist who has combined science and spirituality) teaches that you should say “Not To” and immediately think of something else.

Writing down your worries will get them off and out of your mind. Afterwards, write down all of the miracles, both small and large, that have occurred that day. However small they are, they are going to build your energy in a positive direction and help your mind to focus on the good and positive aspects of your life.

We want to cultivate a daily habit of creating positive change in our lives, and the power of thinking positive thoughts in our mind is a wonderful place to start. As Socrates once said, “What we think about, we become.”

Words can be very powerful. Having a vocabulary that is positive is an effective step in embracing a more joy-filled life. I remember a blind lady that I worked with once, named Milly. She was not wealthy. In fact, she was very challenged financially.

Every time I saw Milly and said hello and asked how she was doing, she would always greet me with a cheerful smile and answer “I am blessed.” It was truly her state-of-being. The other people in our group that I worked with didn’t always feel the same way that she did. But as she attempted to learn new skills in her life to help her maneuver through her life without being able to see, her positive attitude stayed with her and created a truly happy place for her to live in her heart and her world. In addition, it made a happier place for all of us around her.

I also volunteered at the homeless shelter for many years. I was always amazed at the kind, peaceful and happy attitude so many of the people carried with them during the day. It was inspiring and heart-warming. Everyone faces challenges in their life in one way or another. It’s how we choose to respond or react that we can control.

If we choose to respond/react with kindness, love, and peace, then we may just get that back in return. I have found that to be true more times than not. Focusing on the present moment, looking someone in the eye, connecting on a heart level, and responding in a loving way, can transform situations in miraculous ways.

When we choose to have a calm, peaceful, and positive state of mind, happiness can truly be a state-of-being.

Create Your Own Holiday Traditions

Nancy Addison — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 06:25:07 +0000

In a world faced with uncertainties, we crave our holiday traditions now more than ever. We want to embrace what is familiar. What is comforting is a table filled with family, friends, laughter, and food from recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

I was in charge of the stuffing and Waldorf Salad this year. My mother gave me the stuffing recipe that she has used since her mother taught her to make it. Now I am taking up the tradition, and I will pass it on to my children. These recipes and traditions can be such a stabilizing part of our lives.

My mother recently moved, and it has not been the same this year. She said that she wasn’t going to decorate for Christmas this season, because it is so much trouble getting all the ornaments out, and then putting them away after the holidays.

It would have been so hard to imagine going to my mother’s home on Christmas morning without the Christmas tree and the festive decorations that she so lovingly put out every year of my life.
 
I suggested that we just change a few things this year and still make it work, and the traditions will grow and change with the times, and my mother agreed.  

When my daughter asked my mother about the traditions we always had every year, she said that many years ago, she just decided that we were going to have some traditions, and she simply made them up as she went along.
 
After all these years of my mothers’ wonderful traditions, these are what her children and grandchildren now embrace and cherish so very much.

One of these traditions that my mother started years ago was to have a “Family Wassail Party” the weekend after Thanksgiving. The entire family goes over to my mother’s house, and drinks wassail (a hot mulled cider), eats, talks and helps decorate the tree.
 
There is a rule that you must put at least 10 ornaments on the tree before you can leave. This creates such fun and merriment, as everyone is part of the overall creation.

The tallest members of the family put the ornaments way up high, and the smaller ones decorate the lower hard-to-reach part of the tree.

The laughter and sharing of the evening together is a time when we all get to relax and just catch up with each others’ lives, since we are all running at lightning speed these days.  

My family is very large, and even though most of us live in the same city, we don’t get to see each other all that often. It is the eye-to-eye contact, sharing and communication that truly bond us together.

These traditional events reconnect us and bring us closer together as a family.
 
I am going to make my grandmother’s recipe (that was handed down to my mother, and now to me), with loving care. I know that the energy and love that I will put into the making of this dish will be what makes it so good.

All the foods your grandmother made had her loving energy in it. The main ingredient was always love. That is why that familiar traditional food tastes so much better. That is also why we crave it when we are sad or lonely.

So as we continue our traditions, remember that we can create comforting, wonderful memories for our families and friends by just relaxing, and putting a lot of love into everything we do. It is the warm feelings in the traditions that we will always cherish.

It truly is about being present, and being here, right now. Slow down and savor the moment. It is food for our soul.

Plants Have A Powerful Impact On Our Health And Well-being

Nancy Addison — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:14:46 +0000

Fall is here and winter is just around the corner. At this time of year, we tend to spend much more time indoors. We aren’t outside as much and around the gardens or plants in our yard or park. Having plants, going for a walk in the park, or even looking at a landscape poster can produce psychological benefits that include reduction of stress, and improving concentration.

In a research study by Rutgers University, Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology decided to explore the power of plants and flowers on our health and well being. She said that “What’s most exciting about this study is that it challenges established scientific beliefs about how people can manage their day-to-day moods in a healthy and natural way,”

In this study, a “team of researchers explored the link between flowers and life satisfaction in a 10-month study of participants’ behavioral and emotional responses to receiving flowers. The results show that flowers are a natural and healthful moderator of moods.

Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. All study participants expressed “true” or “excited” smiles upon receiving flowers, demonstrating extraordinary delight and gratitude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.
Flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. Specifically, study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction.
Flowers make intimate connections. The presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends.

“Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy,” said Dr. Haviland-Jones. “Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.” (1)

Flowers and plants lift the spirit and clean the air. So, my suggestion to everyone would be to surround yourself and your loved ones with fresh flowers and/or plants. Plants add vibrancy and fresh air, and change the feeling of a room.

Not just the Rutger’s study, but there are many studies I’ve read over years ago that said adding a vase of fresh flowers or a plant to a room made people’s attitudes happier and more positive. I add flowers and plants to my space and to the spaces of those I love, whenever I can.

When a loved one is in a nursing home, hospital, or small place where they can’t get out much, it’s an easy thing to add a plant or vase of flowers to the room.

Plants increase humidity, reducing some of the drying effects of indoor heaters and air systems.

Take a small cutting from the garden of mint or ivy and put it in water, and—presto!—you have a plant that will create a new feeling to the room.

Clas Bergvall, an ethnologist at Umeå University in Sweden, wanted to know what plants did for people emotionally—so he dedicated his doctoral dissertation to the subject. What his research found was that:

Research suggests that indoor plants reduce symptoms of fatigue, headache, cough and dry skin.
Studies show that plant filled rooms contain up to 60 percent fewer airborne molds and bacteria than rooms without plants.
The following plants are best at decontaminating air and balancing humidity: Areca, Reed and Dwarf date palms; Boston ferns, English ivy and Peace Lilies. (2)

When my former husband (an environmental trial lawyer) was conducting environmental impact studies on air quality, I learned that plants are masters at cleaning certain toxins from the air.

Ficus plants are great at cleaning formaldehyde out of the air. Low-light plants like the ivy plants are great to use in general. Many low-light plants that have shallower root systems are the easiest and most beneficial for removing toxins from indoor air.

Plants remind us of life, beauty, spirituality and make us more introspective. By incorporating plants and flowers into our natural environment, they can bring calm to our chaotic lives.

Cancer Fighting – Cherry Smoothie Recipe

Nancy Addison — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:45:59 +0000

I love fresh fruit and especially cherries. Fresh cherries are only available for a limited time during the year.

Even though the harvest last for 4 months, there are peaks in the season. The California cherries peak at the end of May/beginning of June. The Washington cherries peak in early July.

Cherries contain vitamin C, carotenoids, and anthocyanins – cancer fighting compounds.

I love this delicious smoothie recipe.

I always recommend organic.

Why, because conventionally grown cherries don’t have the nutrients in them that organic cherries have. Also, cherries are on EWG’s Dirty Dozen List of produce that is the most contaminated with pesticides. They get their data from the USDA Pesticide Data Program, which tests for pesticide residues on washed produce.

Conventional cherries have been shown to carry residues from up to 42 different pesticides, some of which are known carcinogens, suspected hormone disruptors, neurotoxins, and bee toxins. Both sweet and tart cherries supply these antioxidant substances, though tart cherries contain more. (Tart cherries can also contribute to better sleep.) The antioxidants in cherry juice and dried cherries (both unsweetened and sweetened) are similar to fresh cherries. Frozen cherries’ antioxidant content is somewhat lower. If you can’t find fresh organic cherries where you are, the frozen ones work great too!

Super Cherry Smoothie

Ingredients

1-cup fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries, etc.)
1 cup pitted, fresh cherries
½ cup coconut or hemp, unsweetened, vanilla milk (add more as needed)
2 cups baby greens (spinach, Kale, romaine are all great)
¼ cup sprouted, pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Serves one or two.

Join me, it’s delicious!

The Importance Of Physical Closeness And Love

Nancy Addison — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:07:49 +0000

As Valentine’s Day draws near, I am reminded of a story that I read in 1995 about twin baby girls. When they were born on October 17, 1995, they were premature by 12 weeks and were put in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Medical Center in Central Massachusetts in Worcester.

As a standard practice of the hospital, the babies were placed into separate incubators in order to reduce the risk of infection. One baby, Kyrie, was much larger than her sister Brielle, who only weighed two pounds at her birth.

Kyrie slept well and was healthily gaining weight, but her smaller sister Brielle, was having trouble breathing and had low levels of oxygen in her blood. She also had low weight gain and problems with her heart rate. Everyone was deeply concerned, especially a particular nurse named Gayle Kasparian, who was trying everything she could think of to help Brielle.

On November 12th, Brielle had an emergency health situation. She started gasping for air and turning a gray-blue color. She got the hiccups and her heart rate went way up. Everyone was afraid Brielle would not survive.

In desperation, Nurse Kasparian remembered a common procedure that a fellow colleague had mentioned to her once. It was common practice in most of Europe, but was not done in this country. It was the practice of placing newborn multiple-birth babies in the same bed together. They called it double-bedding.

She was not able to ask permission from her manager, because she was away and unable to be reached, so she asked the parents’ permission to put the girls together in one bed, to see if it would help. They agreed. Nurse Kasparian broke the rules and placed the larger baby in the same crib with her smaller baby sister, who was now in extreme danger of dying.

The moment they were together, Brielle immediately snuggled up to her sister and within minutes, Brielle’s readings for her blood and oxygen were better than they had been since her birth. Kyrie gently put her arm around Brielle. It was such a beautiful hug.

In the article I read, they called it a rescuing hug. It was a very powerful hug. Being together had quite literally saved Brielle’s life. It wasn’t much later that the parents were able to take both girls home, because they were both thriving.

Nurse Kasparian did not get in trouble. In fact, the practice of double-bedding multiple births is now a standard practice at the hospital. Sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to changes in old antiquated practices. It takes courage and a strong heart to do what you believe in.

So, as we lead our busy lives, we need to remember to stay connected, and to be loving and caring and kind to others. You can literally save another’s life, just by being there for them.

Hug your loved ones, listen to what they have to say, and reach out with the most precious gift you can give, the gift of you.

You may never know how much of an impact you might have on another’s life, but remember, ”To the world you may just be someone, but to someone you may be the whole world”.

Have a joyful and loving February.

I am sending a hug to each and every one of you.

Love, Nancy

Bees and Butterflies Make Our Lives More Beautiful And So Much Healthier

Nancy Addison — Sun, 27 Sep 2015 22:04:22 +0000

While I was outdoors walking in the fresh air and sunshine this morning, I was thinking about how much I love all of our wonderful plants, bees, and butterflies.

Then I thought about the roses that people are planting now, (called “knock out roses”) that have NO nectar, and thus are starving our precious pollinators to death.

And I also thought about Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Crop Life America and Bayer, who are all making insecticides called neonicotinoids, that are decimating the pollinator populations by poisoning them to death.

Monsanto and Dow also are now producing new milkweed-killing herbicides, and these will destroy our monarch butterfly populations. Milkweed is their favorite food and vital to their survival. What would a world be without butterflies? Why are they poisoning their food supply? They are such fragile creatures and how much hardship can they take?

Please join in and help stop this annihilation of our precious web of life.

This is very serious. I appreciate everyone who has signed my petition to stop these poisonous neonicotinoids. I am asking for your assistance now to contact everyone you know to please take a moment and sign this petition. Please help me reach my goal of 250,000 signatures, which I feel we need in order to get the EPA’s attention. Right now, we are at 137,000 signatures.

It is so important that everything we do each day helps to sustain and heal and nourish the environment, not destroy it.

If you know anyone who has roses, please inform them about the knock-out roses, that are devoid of nectar. Butterflies are attracted to them, and when they get there, there is no food. All that is needed is a little research, to find the best roses to plant that will provide food and nectar for our pollinators.

I contacted Texas A & M University (where I studied landscape architecture and where these roses were developed) more than a few times and they said there is no research to show how this is affecting the environment. But from my own studies, the large bumblebees were becoming extinct over 27 years ago (3- 4 species are now extinct) from the plants with no nectar (many are GMO and some are hybrid like the knock –out roses) causing them to starve to death. These knock-out roses are now planted all over urban environments in enormous quantities and areas.

I think universities and companies also need to do environmental impact studies on all of their new technologies. At this time, there are no requirements for these at any of the schools that I know of. I think it would be wise for all universities or schools to require courses on environmental impact for all of their engineers, chemists, inventors, etc. as part of their curriculum. I also feel it would be prudent for universities and companies to be required to preform environmental and health impact studies on all of their inventions and chemicals they are proposing to use. We are all so closely intertwined with each other and what we do does impact the earth and all of it’s inhabitants.

Just a thought.

Thank you sincerely for helping to add to our signatures, because by making more people aware, our world will become a healthier place in which to live.

Relief of Menopause Symptoms In A Natural & Healthy Way!

Nancy Addison — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 11:25:31 +0000

Many ladies ask me for relief of menopause symptoms. They don’t want to do synthetic pharmaceuticals, they would prefer to use natural aids for helping deal with symptoms as a result of menopause. In this article, I’ll give some of my best advice for anyone struggling with menopause.

Menopause is not a disease or illness; it is a natural event as a result of hormonal change as we age.

The following are general symptoms of menopause:

Irregular periods
Hot flashes — flushing of face and chest; may be accompanied by heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches
Night sweats
Cold hands and feet
Vaginal dryness
Insomnia
Mood changes — depression, irritability, tension (usually happens with sleep problems)
Gain in abdominal fat
depression

I did a segment on The Broadcast on KTXD-TV about menopause.

Here is the link to watch my (Nancy Addison) segment about Menopause on The Broadcast with Nancy talking with Lisa Pineiro.

Preventive Care

Eat a well-balanced diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating a healthy, well balanced diet can help you reduce the risks and discomforts associated with menopause. A diet low in saturated animal fat can help reduce your risk of heart disease by providing the following benefits:

Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides (fats in the blood)
Lower blood pressure
Maintain a healthy weight

Soy- Avoid soy products. Some evidence suggests that eating soy-based foods such as tofu might help reduce certain symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. I don’t recommend them because eating soy can cause severe thyroid problems.

Get regular exercise– the benefits of exercise include:

Keeping bones strong and warding off osteoporosis through weight-bearing exercise, such as walking
Reducing hot flashes
Boosting mood
Enhancing memory and concentration
Lowering cholesterol

Nancy’s Favorite Helpful Supplements

Make sure you have adequate amounts of Omega 3’s and Vitamin D
Magnesium is a trace mineral necessary for hundreds of bodily functions. Studies show that a deficiency of magnesium has been linked to diabetes, migraines, allergies, anxiety, asthma, attention deficit disorder, calcification of soft tissue (including the heart valve), muscle cramps, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, hearing loss, menstrual cramps, insomnia, irritability, trembling, twitching, and more. Magnesium deficiency can cause increased levels of adrenaline, which can contribute to anxiety. Magnesium is necessary to transfer energy from protein to allow the muscle to contract. If you have high blood pressure, magnesium also helps keep blood pressure down. It is water-soluble and we need to replenish it daily. Here is a link to a magnesium I use: Click here. I avoid Epson salts which are synthetic.
Electromagnetic fields ( EMFs) from cell phones, computers, wifi, cars, electricity can cause anxiety, insomnia, and hormone problems that resemble menopause. Try using some EMF protection. Here is a link to the ones I use: http://www.powerspots.com/idevaffiliate/shop.php?id=119

Liquid Biocell – by Modere. – or Joint, connective tissue, dryness and Skin Health. I (Nancy) call this my fountain of youth supplement. It can relieve knee pain, help wounds heal faster, increase hydration of skin and body tissue, increase skin thickness, help with endurance and recovery after workouts, etc.

“Joint discomfort is a result of progressive degeneration of connective tissue where both collagen and hyaluronic acid are essential. Unlike anything else, Liquid BioCell allows you to replenish these important substances orally in a patented, highly-absorbable form, and it’s been clinically shown to work. Liquid BioCell reduces joint discomfort, increases the range of motion and restores mobility. It’s the most remarkable nutraceutical for joint support and healthy aging that has ever been introduced to the market.” – Louis P. Brady, M.D. Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon

Click here to watch Kathy talk about how Nancy’s supplement: Liquid Biocell helped him with knee pain relief.

Mood – 5 HTP and L Theanine
Herbs – Black Cohosh, pycnogenol, red clover and Asian Ginseng- Make sure to check with your doctor before taking herbs. They can interact with medical prescriptions.

Acupuncture

Homeopathic Remedies

Lachesis — hot flashes, irritability
Sepia — low energy, mood swings, vaginal dryness, irritability
Pulsatilla — mood swings, insomnia
Sulfur — hot flashes, irritability

Liquid Biocell

This is Thera and she is 83. Look at how this supplement has improved her skin thickness and her facial appearance.

Here is the link for the supplement.

That link will give you a $10 discount on your first order.

Soy, Genetically Modified Seeds, Round-Up And Our Health

Nancy Addison — Wed, 13 May 2015 02:00:13 +0000

Soy is widely sold as a health food and beverage in the United States and around the world. Today, most soy on the market is from genetically modified (GM) seed. 91 percent of soybeans planted in the United States are Genetically Modified, and the rate is rapidly growing throughout the world, according to Natural News newsletter.(1) Dr. Gregory Damato points out that “more than 95 per cent of GM soy (and 75 per cent of other GM crops) is engineered to tolerate glyphosate herbicide, the most common formulation of which is Roundup.” (2)

Recent studies by French scientists on the Toxicity of Roundup and Glyphosate found this herbicide carcinogenic. (3) They found:

“Causes cell cycle dysregulation, which is a hallmark of tumor cells and human cancers
Inhibits DNA synthesis in certain parts of the cell cycle—the process by which cells reproduce that underlies the growth and development of all living organisms.
Impedes the hatchings of sea urchins. (Sea urchins were used because they constitute an appropriate model for the identification of undesirable cellular and molecular targets of pollutants.) The delay was found to be dose dependent on the concentration of Roundup. The surfactant polyoxyethylene amine (POEA), another major component of Roundup, was also found to be highly toxic to the embryos when tested alone, and could therefore be a contributing factor” (4)

These are just more reasons why I don’t eat or drink soy, if I can possibly avoid it or any other genetically modified food or non-organically grown food.

Recently (May 12, 2015), Germany’s state consumer protection ministers are calling for a European Union -wide ban on the leading global pesticide Glyphosate, since it was categorized as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization. (5) Glyphosate is marketed under the name of Round-up. This is one of the reasons we as consumers need to demand labeling of genetically modified foods in everything and everywhere. I highly recommend reading more about glyphosate herbicide if you are eating non-certified organic foods.

Just recently, the country of Bermuda banned Round-up. Here is the news release: http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20150511/NEWS/150519966

Beware that soy is added to tortillas, breads, fake meats, and many other foods, supposedly for the “health” benefit. In my opinion it is really used just used as cheap filler.

Health and nutrition expert Dr. Joseph Mercola writes that the advertising industry has really misled the public about the safety and health benefits of soy, as well as the widespread use of it in the Asian diet. He states: “A study of the history of soy use in Asia shows that the poor used it during times of extreme food shortage, and only when the soybeans were carefully prepared (e.g. by lengthy fermentation) to destroy the soy toxins.”(6) He goes on to say that contrary to some reports in the West, it is not the usual practice in Asian countries to feed soy milk to infants.(7)

There is a billion-dollar industry that advertises soy as a health answer to many health issues. Soy is frequently touted as being the answer to women’s menopause problems, heart disease, and weight problems, as well as a great protein source. Be aware of this when you are reading food labels that refer to soy having health benefits, even those that display an FDA-approved statement that soy can help lower the risk of heart disease. In 2000, two FDA employees, Daniel Doerge and Daniel Sheehan, were worried enough about the danger of soy that they wrote a controversial letter to their employer, protesting the positive health claims for soy that the FDA was approving at the time.(8)

They wrote: “There is abundant evidence that some of the isoflavones found in soy, including genistein and equol, a metabolite of daidzen, demonstrate toxicity in estrogen sensitive tissues and in the thyroid. This is true for a number of species, including humans. Additionally, isoflavones are inhibitors of the thyroid peroxidase which makes T3 and T4. Inhibition can be expected to generate thyroid abnormalities, including goiter and autoimmune thyroiditis. There exists a significant body of animal data that demonstrates goitrogenic and even carcinogenic effects of soy products. Moreover, there are significant reports of goitrogenic effects from soy consumption in human infants.”(9)

Think carefully about the effects that soy can have on the thyroid, (one of our master glands, which affect almost all aspects of our health) and estrogen. So many doctors and nutritionists are soy proponents. Be careful, and research this yourself if you are concerned.

“One of the reasons soy is touted as a great health food is because it is said to help with menopause hormone imbalances. This is one of the reasons why so many doctors and older women were so happy to embrace it. Soy and soy-based products contain isoflavones or phytoestrogens, which are plant-based estrogens. Soy is not the only food that contains phytoestrogens. There are other, less controversial, and more digestible foods with phytoestrogens that you can include in your diet. (For more information on phytoestrogens, see “Phytoestrogens and Breast Cancer—Fact Sheet #01” in “Resources.”)

For men, eating soy isoflavones can significantly reduce testicular function and lower luteinizing hormone (LH) production, which is what signals the testicles to work. A high soy intake and potentially lower level of LH increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men, contributing to hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates, and insulin resistance. Doris Rapp, MD, a leading pediatric allergist, asserts that environmental and food estrogens are responsible for the worldwide reduction in male fertility.”(10)

Soy consumption has been linked with cancer in adults, notably breast cancer, as I read in an article by Jim Rutz. He went on to say:

That’s why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy. . . .

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that “soy prevents cancer.” It doesn’t. . . .

P.S.: Organic, non gmo soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it’s perfectly safe because it’s fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.(11)

It is also important to be aware that soy can create allergic reactions. In 1986, Stuart Berger, MD, placed soy among the top seven allergens, one of the “sinister seven.”

These are all reasons why I don’t consume soy.

This is food for thought.

The Plight Of Pollinators

Nancy Addison — Sun, 03 May 2015 14:17:46 +0000

The Plight Of The Pollinator

The intricate web of life, on this planet, depends on every aspect of life, all the way down to the fragile bee. Every part of this web has a particular role on the earth, and when one element of this web is removed, it starts a downward spiral effect which is difficult to foresee and which can be catastrophic. We are at serious risk of losing the bees now, and we need do something about it. I have a petition for the EPA in hopes they will take action.

Please sign my petition for the EPA. Click here.

Bee colonies are seriously threatened by the widespread use of pesticide-coated seeds currently used by farmers, particularly on corn and soy crops. These insecticides are called neonicotinoids. Studies show that bees are drawn to the nectar of neonicotinoid plants and become addicted to them in the same manner that humans become addicted to nicotine. For this reason, bees become addicted to plants grown from these toxic seeds and gorge themselves on these plants, seeking them out and returning to them in the future. Because nectar is brought back to the hive by individual bees, neonicotinoid toxins are also brought back to the hive, where they spread to and kill the entire colony. They achieve this by destroying the nervous systems of bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies. This has led to what scientists have dubbed “colony collapse disorder.”

Why should we care? Bees are important because we need them to pollinate food crops and wild plants. Bees are also an essential part of our economy as they pollinate over 15 billion dollars worth of crops a year. Some crops that won’t grow without honeybees include: apples, cucumbers, broccoli, onions, pumpkins, carrots, avocados, almonds, and many more. If we lose the honey bee our fragile web of life will be devastated, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has so far failed to aggressively seek out a solution. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that neonicotinoids don’t even increase crop yields, although that is the purported reason for their use in the first place.

In-depth studies from Purdue University (http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/research/2012/120111KrupkeBees.html), Harvard University (http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/04/pesticide-tied-to-bee-colony-collapse/), and Oxford University, Trinity College Dublin, Newcastle University and Lund University (http://marketbusinessnews.com/bees-crave-neonicotinoid-pesticides-like-humans-with-nicotine/58089) concerning the danger and harm of neonicotinoids towards bees and other pollinators confirm that this is a grave concern. Overwhelming research conducted on the effects these products have on the environment has led the European Union to presently ban the use of neonicotinoids across the entire continent of Europe. In the United States and Canada, seed-producing companies are allowed to make and sell seeds coated with this pesticide, which has been shown in numerous research studies to contribute to bee and bee colony deaths.

“We know that these insecticides are highly toxic to bees; we found them in each sample of dead and dying bees,” said Christian Krupke, associate professor of entomology at Purdue University and a co-author of the findings.

The United States is losing about one-third of its honeybee hives each year, according to Greg Hunt, a Purdue University professor of behavioral genetics, honeybee specialist, and co-author of the Purdue findings. Hunt said no one particular factor is to blame for this loss, though scientists believe that other factors such as mites and insecticides are all working against the bees as well. “It’s like death by a thousand cuts for these bees,” Hunt said.”

In 2014, 37 million bees were found dead in Ontario, Canada after neonicotinoid-laced corn seeds were planted in the area. (http://naturalsociety.com/37-million-bees-found-dead-canada-large-gmo-crop-planting/). “Once the corn started to get planted our bees died by the millions,” stated Dave Schuit, a local honey producer. This catastrophe is a powerful sign of the harm these seeds affect on our environment.

Furthermore, the effects of these toxins are not limited to the fields where these crops are planted. Genetically engineered plants are able to escape into the wild, where they interbreed with natural plants and continue to spread throughout the environment. The repercussions of this are alarming for the future of our earth, the future of food, and the futures of our children and grandchildren.

“The bees we should also be concerned about are the “3,999 other bee species living in North America, most of which are solitary, stingless, ground-nesting bees you’ve never heard of. Incredible losses in native bee diversity are already happening. 50 percent of Midwestern native bee species disappeared from their historic ranges in the last 100 years. Four of our bumblebee species declined 96 percent in the last 20 years, and three species are believed to already be extinct. A little part of me despairs when I read in a scientific paper: “This species probably should be listed under the Endangered Species Act if it still exists.” These bees nest in the ground and when the neonicotinoid seeds were planted in the fields, the mason bees did not make one single nest.” Source of quote: (Source: http://www.wired.com/2015/04/youre-worrying-wrong-bees/)

“In watermelons, native bees do 90 percent of the pollination.
Native bees improve fruit production in apples. Native bee pollination creates twice as much fruit as honey bees in blueberries. In tomatoes, native bee species increase fruit production significantly.” (Source: http://www.wired.com/2015/04/youre-worrying-wrong-bees/)

How much evidence will it take before the EPA, or other companies involved, stop the use, and protect our fragile web of life? Bees and the future of our environment are in need of protection from these toxic and harmful poisons. Given the enormous number of bee deaths already, the enormous amounts of neonicotinoid insecticide-coated seeds that are currently being planted, the fragile state of the bee colonies, and the mounting evidence showing neonicotinoid insecticide-coated seed is a danger to bee colonies, don’t you agree that the EPA should stop the manufacturing and planting of this toxic seed?

I move that the EPA ban the manufacturing, sale and use of these toxins, poisons and coated seeds in the United States.

Don’t you think companies should have a ethical and moral obligation to humanity to stop doing and promoting things that are proven to be harming the environment and humanity? Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Crop Life America and Bayer all make these seeds and sell them. These companies apparently aren’t doing anything to halt this situation. Why? We need to ask ourselves this question. I pose a question: Do you have investment money supporting companies that do this type of thing? Is this the type of investment in your future, that will sustain the life of your children and their children?

If they are not voluntarily stopping their production, sale and use of seeds and toxins that have been shown to be doing harm to the environment, then isn’t it the responsibility of the EPA to make them stop harming the environment?

Please sign this petition and join me in helping to stop the use of toxins that are proven to be harmful to bees ( all types) and other pollinators (example: hummingbirds & butterflies), to the environment, and to the human population. These toxins put our fragile web of life in jeopardy.

Please sign my petition to ban and outlaw the manufacturing, sale and use of harmful neonicotinoid coated seeds and pesticides by companies and farmers.

Update Jan. 2019

I just received this update: “According to a 2017 report from the Center for Biological Diversity, nearly 1 in 4 pollinators are imperiled and at increasing risk of extinction.

What’s killing the bees?

Neonicotinoid pesticides, sold by Bayer, and used by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) to pretreat seeds (which adds to the cost of the seeds, without providing any benefit).

It’s time to reintroduce the Save America’s Pollinators Act, a bill that would suspend the use of neonicotinoids and require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to complete a thorough assessment and ensure that any uses of these insecticides do not cause unreasonable and adverse effects on pollinators. “

(Update quoted from Richard Kemp, with “KTRR Radio,” “KSAN Radio,” and “The Farm And Ranch Report,”)

Please sign this petition and contact your congressperson and ask them to reintroduce this bill, support it and help the nation’s pollinators, as well as other parts of our web of life, these neonicotinoid pesticides are killiing.

The bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5015/text

Cooking Cambodian Style

Nancy Addison — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 02:58:57 +0000

Cooking Cambodian Style

My daughter was working for the Office of the Co-Prosecutors at the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Trials at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, in Phnom Penh. When I went to spend the holidays with her there, last month, we did some really fun things.

We also took a deliciously fun cooking class, where we learned the secrets to Khmer cooking. I loved learning how to make bowls with banana leaves and how to make a chili paste Khmer style. It’s very different from chili paste in Texas! We made some curry and put it in banana leaf bowls before they were steamed. Our are the ones at the top that look different. We made our vegetarian. The other people made their dish with fish and chicken.

We made quite a few recipes and it was quite an experience. I highly recommend cooking classes when traveling. It adds a little something extra special to the meal you have that day!

My daughter and I love curry and other spices used in Asian Cooking. Khmer is different from Thailand cooking and it was fun to learn all the little nuances involved with the recipes and our food. We went on a shopping tour of the local farmer’s market, which was very educational.

I decided to put a lot of these recipes in my next book, From Earth To Table. This book will celebrate our global connection with the earth, family and food.

On Christmas Day, we went up to the northern part of Cambodia. We went to an elephant rescue and spent the day with rescued elephants and even were lucky enough to get to bathe, Princess, the elephant in the beautiful river in the forest preserve. Amanda and I had never bathed an elephant before. it was such a fun day. Princess loved getting her bath, which made it that much more enjoyable!

I love to travel with my family. My daughter and I now have lovely memories of being together over the holidays and doing some cool things together.

The Sacred Music of Plants

Nancy Addison — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 14:59:45 +0000

The Sacred Music of Plants

I read a book once called The Secret Life of Plants. It literally changed the way I look at life, and everything in my world.

I became fascinated by the fact that plants are intelligent beings in their own way, even though they don’t have eyes, ears, noses or mouths, etc.

As I began to explore the world of plants, I became more and more impressed with what I had learned.

Soon after this, I heard about this group in Italy that taught their plants to sing. I love that idea!

Here is a video clip of one of the ladies, with a plant that is playing music.

I feel that ALL music from plants is sacred. It’s reverence for God & Mother Earth and all the life that abides here. It comes from within the plant’s bountiful loving embrace, and all that is needed is for you to close your eyes and listen

Study Reveals That A Plant Based Diet Is A Powerful Treatment For Diabetics

Nancy Addison — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 16:19:51 +0000

Study Reveals That A Plant Based Diet

Is A Powerful Treatment For Diabetics

More than 100 million people today have diabetes or pre-diabetes. A recent study conducted by a team of American and Japanese researchers shows that people who have diabetes can vastly improve their health by eating an entirely plant-based diet. (1) During my work with people who have diabetes, I have found that they show remarkable improvement in their health and well-being from consuming a plant-based, and almost completely raw food diet.

Researchers have done a meta-analysis (considered the highest level of scientific evidence), in which they compared six significant prior research studies, and they found that a plant-based diet significantly improved blood sugar control in Type-2 diabetes. The results were that plant-based diets improved a key indicator of blood sugar control. The blood sugar control indicator is called Hemoglobin A1c. The results improved as much as 1.2 points, which is much greater than the effect of typical oral diabetes medicines. (2)

The new study focused on combining the results of all of the available studies. The benefits of excluding meat, cheese, and eggs from the diet was as much as 0.7 points in some studies, and averaged 0.4 points overall. (3) This study also focused on long-term effects. Participants in most of these studies were not required to reduce their calorie or carbohydrate consumption. (4)

Diabetics who would like to reduce their medications can now understand that the type of food that they are consuming DOES have a direct impact on their health.

This new study is published in Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy. It is called “Vegetarian Diets and Glycemic Control in Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”.

Charlene Tilton, Sheree Wilson, Brook Boleyn, And Nancy Addison Attend The White Bridle Equine Therapy Fundraiser Event In Dallas, TX

Nancy Addison — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 17:32:23 +0000

Last night I attended the White Bridle Therapy and Horse Rescue Event. It was a wonderful evening at the home of Debbie Mullen and Tim Alexander. The band was Johnny Roger’s band from Chicago. One of his claims to fame, other than being a terrific musician and singer, is that he is Elvis’s 3rd cousin. He played some wonderful country music.

Charlene Tilton ( stared in the TV show “Dallas”) was there along with one of White Bridle’s main chairwomen: Sheree Wilson ( stared in the TV Show “Walker Texas Ranger”) and founder of White Bridle Therapy, Brook Boleyn. I have volunteered with White Bridle since it was very young. I love horses and children and this has been a terrific experience for me working with this group.

They provide Equine Therapy for children with Autism as well as other health challenges. I also love the fact that they have rescued many fine horses from becoming dog/pet food. Horses are so magnificent and regal. They deserve more humane treatment. This is a wonderful group and I know they have helped many children and horses live happier lives.

“White Bridle’s mission is to serve our community with equine-assisted programs that enable people to live happier, more productive and rewarding lives. White Bridle is located in Keller,Texas and provides an equine-facilitated therapy program for children. We offer both a learning program based on our client’s IEP and a speech therapy program. The programs are a half and hour or an hour long.The speech therapy program is year round; and the learning programs are booked in 5, 8 or 10 week sessions. “

How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian – wonderful book!!
Finally, a book that I can recommend to my patients without reservation. It is concise, well-written, and easy to follow.
Patients and consumers alike are inundated with the number of books, articles, and marketing that surround our eating habits.
This book easily puts the fundamental concepts into one place that anyone can understand and utilize. The recipes are tasty and can be made with relative ease.
For anyone wanting to make a positive and healthy change in their eating habits and their health this is the book for you!

This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
“How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian” is an excellent book. Having had the opportunity to assist and promote health and nutrition with world-class athletes over the last 25 years; it is my opinion that Nancy Addison’s book is a formula for high-level performance in our daily lives. I can’t imagine a more informative book for the person looking to improve their health. The chapter about sugar is the most complete information available. Nancy is an expert in Nutrition. What you put on the end of your fork is more powerful medicine than anything you will find at the bottom of a pill bottle.”

This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)

Two years ago I had a quadruple bi-pass, and my cardiologist told me that if I changed to a plant based diet, I would never have this problem again. Being from Texas, I grew up on meat and potatoes, and I was not compliant with his advice. I came across Nancy Addison’s book and it made perfect sense to me with the simple and understandable approach. I’m started off dropping all animal meat, including chicken, which has as much unhealthy fat as steak. Within a month I dropped 17 lbs, just doing that. My system is functioning a lot better, I’ve added more fruits and vegetables, and doubled my energy. I haven’t given up seafood, but maybe down the road I will take the next step. Brava Nancy for getting me to take the first step,and helping me create a new,healthier life!!!!!

“This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
The thing I love about this book is it is clearly written and easy to understand! I’ve purchased so many books in the past that were supposed to be written for beginners in the vegetarian lifestyle, but ended up being geared toward people who were either scientists or well versed in what vegetarianism entails (when that was not what I was looking for or how it was marketed) and they didn’t do me much good! BUT THIS BOOK IS THE REAL DEAL! Reading it made me feel like the writer was personally guiding me through the things that are important for me to know. And it is full of a whole bunch of great (and easy) recipes too! I know several teens in my family who are experimenting with vegetarianism and I will be purchasing several copies of this book, so they will learn to do it in the right way from the beginning. Actually, it would make a great gift for anyone thinking about trying to become a little healthier by incorporating a few more vegies into their diet!”

This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. This information and recipes that Nancy has included was instrumental in getting back on the path of being healthy. Me being a vegetarian, well honestly I’m not all there yet… but I’m not done yet.
It’s still a challenge, but after reading her book, I am making better choices in food that I do eat. Using the choices and new recipes has and is instrumental in my weight loss too. It’s a great lifestyle change book and she goes in depth explanation of the benefits why we should change our diet.

I’ve been known carried this book into the groceries stores with me when I have shop. I buy organic foods and most of its all vegetables and then learning how to prepare them. It’s all in the book.

Our most important asset is our body and our health. So we need to get serious and Nancy puts in easy reading form what we need and how it works and how to do it.

I love this book for so many reasons! To begin with, it is the perfect tool for a busy, working person because it includes both the health information you need to know and quick and easy recipes for putting that information to use. I keep it in my kitchen where I can browse through it when I’m looking for something fast and healthy, and I’m able to refer back to the nutritional information whenever I have a question. It’s the perfect book for busy vegetarians who want to efficiently and easily stay healthy, and eat delicious food!

“This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
Nancy Addison has done an incredible job summarizing a lifetime of experience with every facet of food and nutrition. From the garden to the table, be it vegetarian, vegan or raw, Nancy does it and she does it well. Even the preface is exciting! She has recipes for everyone from new renditions of traditional comfort foods to cutting edge raw dishes that will please even the toughest carnivore guests.

Nancy has put so much into this book and I believe it can and will help many people make changes that will improve their lives significantly. Not only does she tell the reader how and what to prepare, but she also provides a very comprehensive resource section, so that no matter where you live in the country you will have access to everything you need. Great book!!”

What We Put On Our And Our Baby’s Body Matters! by Nancy Addison

Nancy Addison — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:24:28 +0000

What We Put On Our And Our Baby’s Body Matters!

One day, when my children were small, I read some information on how the innocent Minnie Mouse Bubble Bath, I had just bathed my children in, could cause blindness. I was so alarmed. I started researching everything in my bathroom and reading ingredients on everything. I couldn’t believe the US government would allow toxin and carcinogenic ingredients in my and my children’s toothpaste, bubble bath, shampoo, etc.

I went through my bathroom cabinets and read all the ingredients. Because of that, I threw out almost everything that was in my and my children’s bathroom! Since then, I have been very careful about what I put on my body and my children’s.
The ingredients to look for are:

1. DEA or Diethanolamine- an ingredient used in many household and personal products like shampoo, bubble bath, lotions, detergents for laundry or dishwashing. DEA is a known toxin in industrial applications, now proven to cause cancer when applied to the skin of rats. DR.Samuel Epstein, author of “The Safe Shopper’s bible and founder of The American Coalition to Prevent Cancer and a leading authority on toxicology, issued a strong warning about the use of cocamide DEA or lauramide DEA. Many products contain these ingredients and don’t have warnings on them.

2. Propylene Glycol – an ingredient (main) in anti -freeze, hydraulic fluids and used as a solvent. It is also in pet food, lotions, shampoos, toothpastes, deodorants, processed foods, etc. This is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid has been tested by the American Academy of Dermatologists and found it causes skin irritation at low levels. it can be harmful if inhaled, ingested or absorbed into the skin. It can cause nausea, headaches, central nervous system depression, eye irritation, skin irritation, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

3. “SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- found in detergents, concrete cleaners, engine degreasers, etc. SLS is used in clinical studies to irritate skin tissue. It corrodes hair follicles and impairs ability to grow hair. When combined with other nitrogen bearing ingredients, carcinogenic nitrates can form. SLS enters the and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact. (shampoos?)” (2)

4. Talc- is similar to asbestos. ” Talc may result in fallopian tube fibrosis with resultant infertility. Question raised by Doctors Kasper and Chandler in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) 3/15/95. “Talc’s harmful effect on human tissue has been known for quite some time. Long ago, its dry lubricating properties were used as a glove-donning powder (easy to glide on) for surgical gloves. As early as the 1930’s, Talc was linked to post-operative granulomatous peritonitis and fibrous adhesions.” (3)

5. Alcohol used in many mouthwashes. “Mouthwashes with a content of higher than 25% or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue and throat cancers.” (4)

Many people ask me what I put on my body and use for make up. I will never forget reading that lipstick has things like lead in it. So now, I use a certified organic make-up and skin care line by NYR Organic.

What we put on our skin, our largest organ, is absorbed right into the blood stream, so it is important to use safe and toxin free products.

I love this English company’s certified organic make-up, body care, baby products, essential oils, etc. They are also having some April and mother’s day specials. People ask me what I wear. This is where I order my make up, soaps, shampoos, essential oils, etc. I love the rose and frankincense products. The baby oil, shampoo and things are terrific. Right now they are having a couple of specials for April and Mother’s Day.

Here is the link for NYR Organic’s site:

If you have a health business, you can become a distributor and have it as part of your business.

The mouthwash I use and love is from Young Living an essential oil company.I have loved it and use it frequently. It is a combination of anti viral, anti bacterial essential oils. It is called Thieves. it got it’s name from a band of thieves who would cover themselves with oil and then go rob the dead people who had died of the Plague. They never got the plague or died. So, the name of this combination is thieves. Here is the link to that site: Click here.

So, in conclusion, read ingredient labels and become savvy in protecting you and your family from toxic chemicals in your daily life.

Heart Health by Nancy Addison CHHC,AADP

Nancy Addison — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 05:54:24 +0000

Heart Health

           Today is the American Heart Association’s Day to bring awareness of heart disease to society. February is the month where we celebrate love. So it is the perfect time to spread awareness about this terrible disease.

   Heart Disease kills 1,100 women a day. One in every 4 deaths a year are from heart disease. So, because of this, in this month’s newsletter, I am going to address heart disease.

       I’m a vegetarian and wrote the book, “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian.” I have been a vegetarian for over 27 years, because I had a great many family members die of heart disease, strokes and cancer. So, honoring today, I thought I would discuss this briefly.

          Years ago, I took a Cornell University course on the plant-based diet. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who participated in the China Study and wrote “The China Study” and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. M. D. who wrote “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” were two of the professors that taught the course.

          Dr. T. Colin Campbell as well as Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn (a former surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, -known as the number one heart clinic in the world) believes that by changing the diet, heart disease can be completely cured and prevented. In our class Dr. Esselstyn explained that cardiology has only focused on treating the symptoms and not the cause.

          Dr. Esselstyn explained that a plant-based diet with only a minimum of limited/low healthy fats can not only prevent and stop progression of heart disease, but also reverse it. He explained that his scientific studies show with irrefutable scientific evidence that by changing to a plant based diet, heart disease can be prevented and the epidemic eradicated.

          His drew evidence in his results testing with his own patients. He taught that despite the treatments the patients had already received, like bypass surgery or angioplasties, 5 of the original group of 17 had been told by their physicians that they would probably only have about a year to live. Of the group of 17, there had been at least 49 cardiac events leading up to this study.

          Dr. Esselstyn’s 20 year clinical study comprised of 17 compliant patients on his plant based/low fat diet program the health improvement was dramatic. The patients cholesterol dropped, their anginia symptoms and blood flow improved dramatically. Within the 12 years, his 17 patients had no further cardiac events. The patients that stuck with the program survived beyond 20 years, free of symptoms. Anglograms taken of the patients showed a widening of the coronary arteries thus, a reversal of the disease. This study showed one of the most profound drop in cholesterol ever documented in a medical study.

     So, if you think that heart disease just happens and that there is nothing you can do about it, then try switching to a plant based / low fat diet and see if that would work for you. It is a lot easier than you think. It just takes a new mindset, a few guide-lines, good recipes and a will to do it.

      Last year was my 40^th high school reunion. One of my classmates who had heart disease was told by his physician, that if he switched to a plant based diet he would never have to worry about having a heart attack again. He bought my book and has made some changes to move toward a plant-based diet.

      I am so happy for him. Here is what he said about my book:

     “Two years ago I had a quadruple bi-pass, and my cardiologist told me that if I changed to a plant based diet, I would never have this problem again. Being from Texas, I grew up on meat and potatoes, and I was not compliant with his advice. I came across Nancy Addison’s book and it made perfect sense to me with the simple and understandable approach. I’m started off dropping all animal meat, including chicken, which has as much unhealthy fat as steak. Within a month I dropped 17 lbs, just doing that. My system is functioning a lot better, I’ve added more fruits and vegetables, and doubled my energy. I haven’t given up seafood, but maybe down the road I will take the next step. Brava Nancy for getting me to take the first step, and helping me create a new, healthier life!!!!!”
– Ben McKinley – Naples, FL

So, in closing, what we eat in life is a choice. If you have heart disease, you may think about how the food you are eating is directly affecting your health.

I think of everyone who receives my newsletter as my dear friend and I love keeping in touch with you and adore hearing from you. Today, I am sending you big hugs and blessings for a healthy, loving heart this February and may you have a wonderful month full of health and love.

Festive Fare For The Holidays With Brussels Sprout/ Chestnut Recipe

Nancy Addison — Sun, 01 Dec 2013 04:55:33 +0000

    When I was living in London, I loved smelling the roasted chestnuts sold on street corners during winter. When chestnuts are roasted they fill the air with a wonderful aroma.

         Rich, delicious chestnuts add flavor to many of Europe’s winter dishes. Chestnuts are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. My recipe of the month is an old, popular recipe served at many European holiday meals. It combines chewy chestnuts and the brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are packed with vitamins, fiber and are only about 25 calories per ½ cup. Being a member of the disease fighting cabbage family, they are rich in phytochemicals and may also protect against cancer.

        Chestnuts can easily be roasted over an open fire or fireplace in a large, long-handled frying pan. To do this, first soak them for about an hour in water or vegetable broth, and then drain them. Score an x in the bottom of each nut to let the steam escape (and this makes it easier to peel them when they are finished cooking.) Place them in the frying pan and cook over an open fire for about 20 minutes. If you don’t have a fireplace, you can also place them on a cookie sheet and bake in a pre-heated oven at about 425 for 20 minutes. Either way, they taste great! When they are a little cooled down, you can gently peel and eat them.

         Enjoy this delicious, healthy and hearty dish this festive holiday season!

Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts

Ingredients:

1 c. Chestnuts

4 c.     Brussels Sprouts

1         Shallot, finely chopped

1 or 2 c   Vegetable Broth

2 T.      Coconut Oil

1 T.     Butter

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

If you are using already cooked chestnuts you can skip the first three steps.

1.                       Using a small sharp knife, cut a cross at the bottom of each chestnut. In a sauce pan bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Then gently drop the chestnuts in, using a slotted spoon, and boil for about 8 minutes.(Make sure it is enough water to cover all of the chestnuts generously.) Then, remove the pan from the heat.

2.                       Using the slotted spoon, you can remove a few nuts at a time and carefully, without burning your fingers, gently remove the outer skin with a knife and peel off the inner skin.

3.                       Empty the saucepan and then put the nuts, with just enough vegetable broth to cover them, back in the saucepan to simmer for about 15 minutes. Then drain the nuts and set them aside.

4.                       Rinse and remove a few of the outer leaves of the brussels sprouts that might be yellow or wilted. You can cut off the root end carefully to leave the brussels sprout intact.

5.                       In a heavy frying pan that has a lid, melt the coconut oil and add the chopped shallot. Sauté for a few minutes, until the shallot is soft.

6.                       Add the brussels sprouts and enough vegetable broth to just cover the sprouts. Cover and simmer on medium heat, and stir occasionally for about 8 minutes.

7.                       Add the chestnuts. Stir and then cover the ingredients. Let them cook until the brussels sprouts and chestnuts are tender. This should be about 5 minutes over a medium heat.

8.                       Stir in the butter and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Serves 4 -6

Remember to put in the main ingredient.

The Main Ingredient is Always Love!

Copper – It’s Health Benefits Or Problems

Nancy Addison — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 03:22:06 +0000

Copper is a natural element in our world. It has been used for centuries in drinking glasses, cookware, tongue scrapers, and many other things. I thought it was just because it was durable and handled heat well and evenly, which is why I use copper cookware in my home.

However, I learned it has other benefits when I was reading the other day about some studies conducted on copper surfaces in an intensive care unit. With healthcare acquired infections being a huge problem in medical care facilities, I found this study very interesting.

They tested copper surfaces in intensive care units, and then measured the percentage of germs and bacteria in those rooms.

Here is a quote from the article:
“Results. The rate of HAI and/or MRSA or VRE colonization in ICU rooms with copper alloy surfaces was significantly lower than that in standard ICU rooms … Conclusions. Patients cared for in ICU rooms with copper alloy surfaces had a significantly lower rate of incident HAI and/or colonization with MRSA or VRE than did patients treated in standard rooms.” (1)

The study involved sixteen intensive care hospital rooms. They put copper surfaces in half (eight) of those rooms. The result was that the rooms with the copper surfaces had about half the rate of infectious germs, MRSA (methicillin resistant staph infections), etc., than the rooms that did not have the copper surfaces. Another study I read found that the bacteria counts found on copper surfaces were 83% less than non-copper surfaces. That is huge. That is wonderful and so easy to implement.
If you are remodeling a kitchen, I would think that copper surfaces would be a healthy countertop to install.

Furthermore, copper was believed throughout history to support the lymphatic system.

One thing I have found that is important to be aware of, is that copper depletes our zinc levels.

A zinc deficiency is a world-wide problem. According to research published in Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, a zinc deficiency contributes to poor growth, intellectual impairments, perinatal complications, and increased risk of morbidity and mortality.(2)

Zinc deficiency is now attributed to be responsible for 176,000 (14.4%) diarrhea deaths, 406,000 (6.7%) pneumonia deaths, and 207,000 (10.4%) malaria deaths. These deaths are mainly in Africa, in the Eastern Mediterranean, and in South-East Asia, “among children between 6 months and 5 years of age.” (3)

In addition to that we may be getting too much metal or minerals, because the glyphosate, in the herbicides used, which are now in our rain water, chelates minerals and heavy metals. According to my comversations with Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior research scientist at MIT, that is because of the heavy metals and minerals chelated by the herbicide glyphosate (which is now so extensive it’s hard to avoid it), that there are large amounts of heavy metals in our water and foods. Glyphosate also crosses the blood-brain barrier, because it is water soluable and can escort aluminum, lead, copper, etc. into the brain.

The use of copper piping in homes in the US, since the 1960s, means that about 98 percent of all homes built after 1970 have copper pipes. According to studies, copper in our diet is beneficial to a certain extent, but when we have too much of it, it can contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease. (4)

in my own conclusion, using copper in our homes, as door handles or light switches, can have very positive results for the anti-bacteria properties, but when it’s in our pipes, cookware, or drinking glasses, can be harmful to our health if we ingest too much of it. So use copper wisely.

The hidden story behind vaccines, big pharma, and food, I received information on this film from a friend and wanted to share it with you.

“If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.”

Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma. We all know that there is something horribly wrong with health care today and this film goes straight to the root of the problem.

Easy too!

This recipe is one of many raw recipes in my book, “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian.”

Get Healthier, Thicker Hair, Naturally!

MD — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 14:04:01 +0000

Everyone seems to want healthy hair. We want our hair to be growing healthier and thicker naturally. Sometimes we may find too much hair left in our hairbrush or that our hairline is looking a bit farther back than it seemed a few weeks ago. I notice many people these days with balding spots (women and men). I also get asked quite often by clients or friends about how they can have healthier hair. Because of this, I will expand on ways people can have healthier hair by using foods and supplements that are natural and effective.

Our hair can definitely be influenced by what we are consuming. In many cases, hair loss is the result of a deficiency of Vitamin B and other nutrients. Lack of the right kind of essential fatty acids can also be part of the equation. A lack of Vitamin B’s (especially B6 and folate), magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and collagen, that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy can result in hair thinning or hair loss.

The combination of nutrients is what is important, including eating the right kind of complex amino acids (proteins) in the right amounts. Foods rich in B vitamins are brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, and lecithin. Beans, lentils, peas, legumes, and seafood are also high in protein and B vitamins.

There are also many vitamins that contribute to healthy hair. Zinc is one of those. It works in cell reproduction and hormone balance, affecting hair growth and taking care of the hair follicles. If the body is low on zinc, the hair follicles can become weak. Foods heavy in zinc are seafood and nuts.

Vitamin E is another important element of healthy hair, having been shown to improve scalp circulation because of its anti-cellular aging and increased blood oxygenation properties. Avocados, kiwi fruit, nuts, seeds, and olive oil are good sources of vitamin E.

Vitamin A’s protection of hair follicles has been documented, and can be found in carrots, spinach, and unrefined cold pressed seed oils, such as flax, walnut, pumpkin.

Essential fatty acids are another vital way of promoting healthy skin and hair. Some essential fatty acid sources are hemp seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, avocados, almonds, pecans, pumpkins, hazelnuts, pine nuts, sesame, olives, chia seeds and their respective oils.

I try to get at least 1 teaspoon of the equivelent of the essential fatty acids, omega-3 oil into my diet every day. I keep the cold pressed, organic hemp or flax seed oil in my refrigerator and use it that way. It is easy and you get more of the oil directly into your system that way. My favorite way to add these omega-3 foods or oils to my food is to put the oil or the fresh nuts or seeds to salads, smoothies, casseroles and soups.

Although it is best to get nutrients in a whole food form, all of these vitamins and minerals can be found in supplement form. When buying supplements look for organic whole food vitamins. Your body can read whole foods much better than it can an isolated vitamin. Also, the Organic Consumers Organization recommends looking for products that contain “100 percent plant-based” or “100 percent animal-based” on the product’s label, so you know you aren’t getting synthetic vitamins. I recommend avoiding synthetic vitamins.

I also use a supplement that improves my hair health in many ways. It restores collagen on a cellular level. It has been found to help people’s hair grown back. We stop making collagen in our twenties, so we become depleted over time.

This unique and exclusive Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology has shown to support joint and muscle fitness, connective tissue health, counteract skin photoaging, restore youthful skin, and support healthy hair, nails, gums and eyes., It’s so effective it has been awarded 7 international patents.

I love this supplement. It was originally developed to help get rid of joint and arthritis pain and I used it to help me get rid of my back pain from scoilosis. I have avoided surgery and chronic discomfort by using this supplement.

When they develped this supplement, one of the things they found out, is that when people used it, it helped their skin, hair and nail health as well. I love that!

(I’m 63 now and my skin look so nice that people actually ask me if I have had a face-lift and I haven’t. They also think I look much younger than I am. I love that too!)

This company also sells safe non-toxic shampoo, conditioner, etc, that I use. What we use goes directly into our blood stream and we need to use only non-toxic safe things on our body. I highly recommend using safe products on your hair or skin. (They do sell this world wide and my links for your $10 discount on your first order is below. I have the links for each different parts of the world. Use the one for your country.)

Here is the link for the supplement I use that helps get rid of joint discomfort or arthritic discomfort and helps skin and hair be thicker and more luxurious. Their website has a lot of the information on it and the 37 human clinical trials that shows how effective it is. It was so effective that they were awarded 7 international patents on the supplement.

The Power Of Love And A Hug

Nancy Addison — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 05:21:30 +0000

I read the other day that stress has increased by 35% in the last year for most people. With new technology causing more isolation, alienation, and stress, we need to take the time and make the effort to connect in person, and be there with love and hugs. It could quite literally save someone’s life and make our own life more joyful. I am reminded of a story I read in 1995 of two twin baby girls. When they were born, Oct. 17, 1995, they were premature by 12 weeks and put in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Medical Center in Central Massachusetts in Worcester. As a standard practice of the hospital, the babies were placed into separate incubators in order to reduce the risk of infection. One baby, Kyrie, was much larger than her sister Brielle, who only weighed two pounds at her birth. The larger baby, Kyrie, slept well and was healthily gaining weight, but her smaller sister, Brielle, was having trouble breathing and had low levels of oxygen in her blood, as well as low weight gain and problems with her heart rate. Everyone was deeply concerned, especially a particular nurse named Gayle Kasparian, who was trying everything that she could think of to help Brielle. Then, on Nov. 12th, Brielle had an emergency health situation. She started gasping for air and started turning a gray-blue color; then she got hiccups and her heart rate went way up. Everyone was so afraid Brielle would not survive. In desperation, nurse Kasparian remembered a common procedure a fellow colleague had mentioned to her once, that was common practice in most of Europe, but not done here in that country. It was the practice of placing newborn baby multiple births in beds together. They called it double bedding. Even though she could not ask permission from her manager, because she was away and not able to reached, she asked the parents permission to put the girls together in one bed to see if it would help. They agreed. So, nurse Gayle, broke the rules and place the larger baby sister with her smaller, now in extreme danger of dying. The moment they were together, Brielle immediately snuggled up to her sister and within minutes, Brielle’s readings for her blood and oxygen were better than they had been since her birth. Kyrie gently put her arm around Brielle. It was such a beautiful hug. In the article I read, they called it a rescuing hug. It was a very powerful hug. Being together had quite literally saved Brielle’s life. It wasn’t much later that the parents were able to take the girls home, because they both were thriving. Nurse Gayle did not get in trouble. In fact, the practice of double bedding multiple births is now a standard practice at the hospital. Sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to changes in old antiquated practices. It takes courage and a strong heart to do what you believe in. So, as we lead our busy lives, remember that our connectedness and our ability to love are so precious, that we can literally save another’s life by just being there for them. Share those wonderful hugs with your loved ones. Take the time to truly listen, be present and reach out with the most precious gift you can give. That is the precious gift of you. You may never know how much of an impact that hug smile might have on another’s life, but it is something you can give everyday without spending a penny. I am mentally sending love and hugs to you all!

Survival Guide to the Holidays! by Nancy Addison

Nancy Addison — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:36:33 +0000

With the holidays upon us, here are my top 7 tips to having more energy, staying well and feeling good; so you can enjoy the holidays with your family and friends!

1. Stay hydrated! Even though they are liquid, sodas and coffee are not hydrating. So, drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Hydration is a major factor in staying well and healthy!
2. Juice half an organic lemon or lime and add to a glass of warm purified water. Drink this first thing in the morning before anything else goes into your stomach. This will help cleanse your organs, give you a vitamin C boost and help alkalize your system.
3. Make your healthy breakfast and/or lunch your largest meals of the day. You need this to give your body sustainable energy throughout the day.
4. Eat healthy fats. Fats are good for you in the right form, quality and quantity. These “good fats” will actually give you more energy, help you lose weight, fight inflammation and support your brain function.
5. Exercise at least 50 minutes 3 times a week. This helps you get oxygen flowing throughout your body and cuts down on stress.
6. Take time for yourself. Take a long hot bath, a walk, a nap, a massage or manicure. Even if it is just for 15 minutes, nurture yourself, breathe deeply, and think of peaceful thoughts. Play some uplifting music. It is amazing how rejuvenating this can be!
7. Volunteer. There is no better way to invigorate your life than to do something in a volunteer way. No matter how low things seem to be, when you volunteer, it puts everything into perspective and can empower you! It is a great activity to do as a family or a group. There are so many worthy groups out there that could use some help. If you are lonely, it is a great way to get out, meet some new friends and have some fun. When we give, we always get much more back in return.

Remember, if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others. So, be patient and kind to yourself during the holidays.
I wish you and yours a merry holiday season! Love, Nancy

Shoot for the Stars!

Nancy Addison — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:42:42 +0000

A few years ago, I decided to write a book. I dug in and wrote it. It took a long time. It took 5 years!

It was a dream and I wanted to try to make it a reality.

Sometimes, we have visions of things we want to do; then we talk ourselves out of it for one reason or another. Sometimes we just have to take that risk and try.

I am so happy that I finally made this dream of mine come true. I am even more excited that people love my book! That makes all the hard work, so worth while.

Even better is the fact that many people are actually getting their health back because of the book. Well, I saw this article today and I thought I would share it with you. It is all about making your dreams come true. Here it is: Article link.

When I had children, one of my sayings to them was: “Shoot for the stars!

Even if you land on the moon, it is a whole lot better than not trying at all.”

I truly believe that we should all try shooting for our dreams in the stars. So, let’s get going!

Love, Nancy

Water Quality And Why It Matters

Nancy Addison — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 22:11:59 +0000

Water is one key nutrient to our health and well-being. Our bodies are about 66–72% water. Blood uses the water to transport oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies to all parts of
the body.

Many illnesses are actually a result of dehydration. When we feel thirsty, we are already dehydrated. I always drink a glass of pure mineralized water as soon as I wake in the morning. When we wake up, our body is empty, so our body will absorb whatever we ingest like a sponge. Therefore, a glass of high-quality, mineral-rich water will be utilized more efficiently.

I try not to drink it with meals, because it can water down the digestive enzyme juices, making it harder to digest the food. It is best between meals.

Fereydoon Batmanghelidj MD studied water while he was a prisoner in an Iranian jail.

He treated and cured about 3,000 prisoners, using water and a little sea salt to treat what he called chronic intracellular dehydration. He found that most people are sick because of dehydration. He wrote
many books on the subject after his release. The “water cure” that he prescribed is:

1. Sufficient water. Drink an ounce of water for every 2 pounds of body weight daily.This means that someone weighing 200 pounds should drink 100 ounces of water a day.

This is inaddition to any other beverages. Consume water first thing upon getting up in the morning and then drink it all day long on a continual basis every two hours.

2. Sea salt. Put 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt on the tongue with every 16 ounces of water. This is a key component in the “water cure.” This is really important for people suffering from allergies
or asthma; the salt acts like an antihistamine.

Almost all public water supplies have added chemicals to the water supply, including sodium fluoride and chlorine, both of which are poisons.

Chlorine was the first poison developed for warfare. Chlorine also destroys the Vitamin E in the body and the good probiotics in the intestines. “Industrial chemist J.P. Bercz, PhD, showed in 1992 that chlorinated
water alters and destroys unsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs), [14] the building blocks of people’s brains and central nervous systems.”135

While showering or swimming in chlorinated water, the chlorine soaks into the skin cells. Our skin is our largest organ. That is why the patch is used to give medicines to people; they absorb directly into the
skin and from there into the blood stream.

Research linking swimming in chlorinated pools to cancer and other medical conditions continues to make headlines. The latest such studies come from the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology
in Barcelona, Spain. They indicate, among other things, that swimming in a pool with chlorine may increase the risk of developing cancer and damage lungs.136

Sodium fluoride and fluorosilicic acid are common chemicals added to our municipal water supply. Studies were done for tooth decay prevention with calcium fluoride. The companies that had a by-product of sodium
fluoride (that can be contaminated with lead and arsenic as well) are companies that make aluminum and fertilizers.

Sodium fluoride is the fluoride that the government adds to the water supply. This is added on the pretext that it is good for our teeth and health, but dental studies were done using calcium fluoride, so this is a different type of fluoride from what is being added to the water supply. Fluoride has been used in Chinese medicine as a tranquilizer and also in many places as a rat poison.

According to Paul Connett, PhD, “Fluoride is a cumulative poison. On average, only 50% of the fluoride we ingest each day is excreted through the kidneys. The remainder accumulates in our bones, pineal gland, and other tissues. If the kidney is damaged, fluoride accumulation will increase, and with it, the likelihood of harm.”137

Fluoride affects the thyroid gland and all our enzymatic systems. Side effects from fluoride include weight problems, damage to our immune system, and other serious disorders. These chemically derived fluorides are completely different from naturally occurring fluoride.

Fluoride affects different people and ages differently. According to Connett: The level of fluoride put into water (1 ppm) is up to 200 times higher than normally found in mothers’ milk (0.005–0.01 ppm) (Ekstrand 1981; Institute of Medicine 1997). There are no benefits, only risks, for infants ingesting this heightened level of
fluoride at such an early age (this is an age where susceptibility to environmental toxins is particularly
high).138

Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Norway, and France do not put fluoride in their water. Some of these countries have made it illegal to add to the water supply.

Huge numbers of Safe Drinking Water Act violations are reported each year by water treatment facilities. Many areas have old, dirty water pipes, and even some really old lead pipes, transporting the water. New

Scientist reported that a comprehensive survey of US drinking water showed that it contained an array of hormonally active chemicals like MTBE (methyl-tert-butyl-ether), a chemical found in fuel and a potential
human carcinogen in high doses, and atrazine, a US pesticide that was banned in the European Union. Atrazine has been linked to reproductive problems in lab animals and is also linked to both breast cancer
and prostate cancer.

In 2010, National Geographic reported that drinking water in schools in 27 states was contaminated with toxic substances including lead.139 In 2009, the Associated Press analyzed data from the EPA and found the
public water for about 100 school districts contained lead, pesticides, and other toxins.140 If it is being pumped to schools, then it is probably being pumped into homes and businesses as well. Because of the state of our municipal water supply, a good water filter can be a beneficial purchase. I recommend purchasing one for the whole house. When we shower, we can absorb as many toxins from the water as we can from
drinking about eight glasses of water, so a shower or bath filter is recommended as well.

The Reverse Osmosis is an good choice for a water filter system. When drinking purified bottled water, you can add some minerals (like a pinch of sea salt) to the water. When you do this your body won’t need to pull minerals from your body in order to process the water.

Bottled water comes in a variety of choices. The EPA standards of the Clean Water Act do not apply to bottled water; there is very little regulation on bottled water, which is why I recommend having your own filter.

What about “vitamin waters”? Many vitamin waters contain all kinds of ingredients, like high-fructose corn syrup, artificial color, preservatives, and even caffeine. Make certain to always read ingredient lists
before you buy anything. Packaging can be very misleading.

You can also hydrate with good, high-quality fruits and vegetables that are high in natural water content, like cucumber, watermelon, celery, and carrots. They contain pure water that is rich with vitamins and minerals. Watermelon is 90% pure, clean water. When you have these real, whole fruits and vegetables as juices, you are getting natural electrolytes as well as hydrating fluids.

Food for thought? Water for thought?

Health and the Peaceful Mind

Nancy Addison — Sun, 13 May 2012 16:46:21 +0000

True health is having true peace in our heart, mind, and soul. When we are totally at peace, we can have total health.

What are you saying to yourself as you walk around all day and night? What thoughts are going through your mind? Every single thought is an affirmation.

Whatever you are thinking about constantly is your affirmation. Change your affirmation to say nice things about yourself and your life. Avoid focusing on the negative; focus on the solution. Make the new positive thoughts your matra and create new patterns of thought.

There is the child within you, in your heart and soul. Nurture your child within as you would your own child or other people’s children. Treat yourself with love and nurturing. Be patient with yourself. Give yourself a break. It is okay.

Release old pains of the past; they do not serve you. Forgive yourself and others, and forget. It does not condone what others did, but it can free your mind from those negative thoughts that are only hurting you.

Release them and set yourself free. Dwelling on things that happened in the past, keeps you in the past. What we think is a choice.

Choose to live with joy and passion in the very present moment. You may see positive opportunities appear as soon as you start creating a positive, present mindset.

I wish you true peace and joy in your life.

Love, Nancy

Relationships And Fighting Fair

Nancy Addison — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 11:32:18 +0000

Relationships are a vital part of our lives and can directly impact our health and well-being. Relationships are fragile and need to be nurtured and protected. With all of the present-day craziness of: politics, the economy, the weather, internet relationships, isolation because of electronics, text messaging, etc., it can put a strain on any relationship. Miscommunication or disagreements can arise. We can all use some help, in keeping our lives connected in a healthy, happy way!

These tips might come in handy, if you find yourself in a challenging situation or disagreement with someone you love and care about.

Fighting Fair #1: Avoid Blaming or Yelling

It is such a sad situation when a spouse is blamed. It can create a defensive behavior, and it doesn’t solve any problems and it escalates the argument.

Yelling can escalate things. When our emotions are running high, it is easy to fall into the yelling mode, because you may not feel like you are being heard. But I learned once that the first person to raise their voice is automatically the loser.

I personally have been subjected to verbal abuse in my life and It has been harder to overcome than the physical abuse. It gets deep down into your subconscious and can undermine your self-confidence. A healthy relationship does not have room for this type of abuse. Seek professional help if you find yourself in this type of situation.

Fighting Fair #2: Avoid Using Degrading Language

Avoid insults, put-downs, name-calling, or cussing. When you put your partner down or insult their character, it shows disrespect for his or her dignity. This is verbally abusive behavior. It can harm them much more than you even imagined. In a healthy, positive relationship, we want to build up our partner’s self-confidence and self-esteem, not break it down, even when having disagreements.

(If you find yourself in a situation where your partner is not willing to address the fact that they are using degrading or verbally abusive language directed at you, you may want to seek professional help.)

Fighting Fair #3: Avoid Using Force

When someone resorts to physical violence against someone they love, it is devastating to the relationship and the person who is being abused. It is unacceptable behavior to threaten, use force, or even threaten verbally, if this happens, it is important to seek professional help. Everyone has the right to feel safe and a right not to feel in danger. So, pushing, restraining, breaking things are all violence and should not be a part of a relationship.

I personally have been subjected to physical violence and it is not a part of a healthy relationship. Seek professional help if you find yourself in this type of situation.

Fair Fighting Fair #4: Avoid the Subject of Divorce

When arguments arise, try avoiding using manipulative behavior, like threatening to leave the relationship. This can ruin the trust in a relationship and relationships are built on trust. This type of threat can create fear in your partner’s mind as to how committed you are in the relationship. This mistrust can make it harder to resolve the issue at hand and possibly cause more problems later.

Fighting Fair #5: Be Yourself, Describe How You Feel

When arguing it can be easy to. try to interpret the other person’s feelings and make assumptions that may or may not be true. So, stay in your adult, be strong, but calm and define your own feelings and how the situation is making you feel.

When a partner tries to control someone else by telling them how they should think or feel, it puts that other person in a defensive position and distracts from the true underlying issue at hand. Instead work on the issue and how to solve the problem and meet each of your needs.

Fighting Fair #6: Stay Present

When we are fighting, it can be easy to bring up past hurts or situations, but resist this and focus on the present issue and leave everything else out of it. Try to stay focused on resolving the problem at the moment.

Fighting Fair #7: Listen and Take Turns Speaking

Be truly present and truly listen to the other person. Then take turns and allow each of you to speak without interruption. It is important that everyone feels they have been heard and that each person has been given an equal opportunity to explain their viewpoint on the subject. It is all about fairness and equality.

Fighting Fair Rule #8: Take A Time Out to Think Things Over and Give Each Other Some Space

When we get into an argument, it is difficult to truly look at things calmly and without the emotional input.

So, after you have both spoken your thoughts, agree to take a hour or some time (at a minimum 30 minutes), to do something else, think about the situation and meet up again a little later to discuss ideas on resolving the issue. Sometimes we just need some time to reflect and think before we come to a calm, well thought out resolution that can serve both person’s needs.

In Conclusion

Having grown up in a family of lawyers, rules can help situations with emotions be handled in a more sensible method without being exposed to degrading, humiliating, childish or cruel behavior. That is one reason the court systems run in a more organized fashion, allowing each party to present their case and hopefully find some resolution. I’ve found that taking the time out and also possibly writing down the pros and cons of each situation can also help you see what you have in common and possibly agree with in a situation.

I wish you well in your relationships and I hope this helps.

What’s killing the bees?

Neonicotinoid pesticides, sold by Bayer, and used by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) to pretreat seeds (which adds to the cost of the seeds, without providing any benefit).
