]]> There’s a common misconception that living healthily means having to spend more money to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, you don’t necessarily have to spend more to reap the benefits of healthy living. Moreover, there are ways where you can even end up saving on your journey to health and wellness. But first, here are some more advantages to leading a healthy lifestyle, courtesy of Organic Healthy Life.

Save On Health Insurance Premiums

Living healthier could mean you qualify for lower health insurance premiums. For example, if you have a high-deductible health plan (or HDHP) then you may qualify for a Health Savings Plan (or HSA) and can end up saving more money on health-related expenses because it will be tax-free.

Dine-In Instead Of Eating-Out

Suppose you’ve become more accustomed to dining out than eating in. But you’ve now decided that the only way to reach your health and wellness goals is by following a customized eating plan, and eating out just won’t help you reach your diet goals any longer. You could opt to eat at home instead. This way could create a personalized meal plan for yourself as well as save on money too by not splurging on food that comes at restaurant prices.

Choosing to go vegetarian can also cut down on your food costs. Most of the money we spend at the grocery store is attributed to meat and dairy products. Nancy Addison of Organic Healthy Life has plenty of tips and resources for helping you to cut out meat and increase your consumption of organic goods. This is one choice that can be great for your body and your budget.

Walk Instead Of Driving

Another way you can save a pretty penny while enjoying a healthier lifestyle is by saving on transportation costs if you could walk, jog, or cycle to work, especially if the commute is short and you do so on a regular basis. Plus, you’ll no doubt be getting fitter and your actions will be beneficial for the environment too.

Hire Professionals To Spring-Clean Your Home

Perhaps, you need some help on the home front when it comes to giving your home a deep non-toxic cleaning once a month. While this may seem like an extra expense, this could end up saving you money. Plus, it may free up time so that you can focus on your health journey more.

Check Your Home For Health Hazards

Even with a great monthly professional deep clean, there are some health issues that can sneak through. For example, pests can become an issue that you need to contract with a professional to eliminate. But an even more overlooked issue is mold. Even a small plumbing leak can lead to dangerous levels of mold in your home. And if it turns out to be black mold, that is a major problem. To prevent these issues, look online for “plumbers in my area” and read through the reviews to find a few potential options. Then, have them come out for written estimates before committing to one choice. That way, you’ll find someone with reasonable prices and good customer service who can help eliminate the leak – and mold threat – quickly and safely.

Buy Food In-Season

Suppose you’ve decided to cut out meat to consume a plant-based diet instead, then it may be better to buy fruits and veggies in bulk and in-season to take advantage of any savings or discounts. Better yet, you could even grow your own produce. That way, you’ll have access to the freshest of ingredients, and you’ll save on grocery experiences by not having to purchase these items at a cost plus markup price.

Do Free Outdoor Activities

If you haven’t been noticing outdoor gyms popping up everywhere, then you have been missing out on a fun (free) outdoor activity to get fit and make new friends in the process. You can also choose to run, cycle, walk, or rollerblade around your neighborhood or local park.

You can also spend about $20 to invest in a few disc golf sets. It’s a fun activity that you can do alone, with friends, or with your family almost anywhere. There are disc golf courses across the country, and they are usually free or a few dollars for general park admission.

Make Money By Leading A Healthier Lifestyle

You can do more than save money by getting healthy. You may also be able to make money! For example, you can share how you managed to save money while getting healthy, and potentially make some serious passive income through affiliate marketing. Or you could choose to start a business selling athletic equipment or personal training. If you decide to go the business route, then it’s important to market your business adequately. You can create business cards with an online template maker and customize them to reflect your branding. If you have a logo, be sure to include it along with a font and color schemes that reflect your business.

In summary, living healthily will probably mean having to make short-term sacrifices in order to see long-term results. Furthermore, you may have to be more creative in how you approach this lifestyle so that you can save money whilst taking advantage of the many benefits that leading a healthier lifestyle offers. Be aware of your surroundings, keep your home free of germs and mold, fill your fridge with organic veggies, and find other creative ways to save money while you get healthier. Nonetheless, you are sure to reap the rewards soon enough and be happier for it because you decided to take positive steps forward.

The post GLADYS’S IRISH STEW – Gluten-free Recipe appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I co-authored “Alive and Cooking” with my friend Maryann De Leo. Half of the book is recipes and the other half is health, nutrition, and lifestyle information for older adults and people taking care of elderly parents.

Maryann’s dear friend Chris’s mother (Gladys) was known for her delicious Irish stew. This is an easy gluten-free recipe that makes about 4 to 6 servings. You can substitute chopped mushrooms for the beef and make it vegetarian/vegan. I thought this might be something you can prepare for Saint Patrick’s Day, if you celebrate that.

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 lb. organic grass-fed, humanely raised chuck beef

2 T. organic, pure, unprocessed coconut oil

2 1⁄2 cups tomato sauce

2 1⁄2 c. high-quality water with no chemicals

3 large potatoes

2 medium red onions

3 carrots, sliced

Sprig of parsley for garnish (optional)

Mineral-rich salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut chuck beef into cubes.

2. Heat oil in a pot and add the beef cubes.

3. Brown beef on all sides.

4. Drain off oil/grease.

5. Add tomato sauce and water.

6. When meat is almost cooked, add potatoes, onions, carrots, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender.

7. Serve warm with sprigs of parsley to garnish (optional).

Variations:

1. Substitute potatoes with color, like purple or red-skinned, or golden for white potatoes.

2. I substituted pure, extra-virgin, organic coconut oil for the vegetable oil she had in her recipe, for a healthier stew.

NOTE:

1. You can substitute sliced mushrooms for the beef to make it vegetarian.

2. ALWAYS buy pure organic coconut oil.
Avoid any type of “Fractionated” Coconut oil. It is a Trans-Fat and is TERRIBLE for your health. It is sold as a liquid and many people use it for their essential oils mixer oil.
I would recommend NEVER USING it for ANYTHING!

The post Eating Healthy When Working Long Hours appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> A question I am asked frequently, because I am a nutrition counselor, is how do I eat healthier, when I am working all the time, and I’m so tired when I get home?  Between work, school, events, family, kids, and everything concerning life, it may seem impossible to eat healthily.

Here are my top tips for maintaining your healthy eating and health, while on the go with an over-booked schedule.

  1. Start your day by eating a good nutritious breakfast. Your body needs fuel to function. It’s like a car that requires gas or electricity to function. Your body needs to eat. When we eat early, it revs up our metabolism.

Make a quick smoothie (I have some smoothie recipes in my books), or prepare some toast with avocado, or have some plain, organic yogurt and fruit or granola that you keep available in your kitchen. Eating a healthy breakfast is vitally important for maintaining optimum energy for your whole day.

I can still remember my daughter saying, “I am not leaving without my smoothie!” She knew she felt better, could think more effectively, and could thrive until lunch time (which was late in the day), if she had her power smoothie that I prepared for my family every morning. Invest in the time to do this, because it is well worth the effort. With healthy ingredients, this alone can transform your life.

  1. Another one of my top rules is that if you know you shouldn’t eat it, don’t buy it. Don’t have it in the house or office. I see people with candy and cookies sitting on their desks or in their offices. Sugar or artificial sugar (which is worse), acts like a drug and it will destroy your immune system.

One teaspoon of sugar can shut down your immune system for up to 5 hours. It is also addictive and it takes more sugar each time to satisfy that craving, because you build up a tolerance. The mind is very suggestible, so keep it out of sight and therefore out of your thoughts. I’ve found that it’s much easier to eat in a healthy way if you only have healthy foods from which to choose.

  1. I really don’t believe in snacking, because it makes your body dependent on a constant intake of food. I think this leads to obesity and diabetes, because it never allows the body time to rest or the ability to use its storage of fat that it has put away for extra energy. Try to eat only at meal time.

What we think of as a meal doesn’t necessarily have to be what the advertisers or movies would have us believe. We really need just a small amount of nutrient-dense food, not a huge amount of food with empty calories and no nutrition.

Serving sizes have grown over the years and they really aren’t healthy. My son or daughter would say, mom doesn’t eat hardly anything. But in reality I do eat very well. I eat sitting down, slowly chewing my nutritious food that feeds my body on a deep cellular level. In this way, I feel satisfied and my body gets what it requires to feel energized and healthy.

One thing that works for me is to pick one day in advance to prepare my foods for the week ahead. I buy the ingredients the day before, and then have a day of fun, music, and the creation of my healthy dishes for the week. I find this day of food preparation to be very enjoyable, relaxing, and therapeutic.

If you have family, do it together and share the fun and healthy food preparation! Children learn by watching and they are also more inclined to eat what they help prepare, so get everyone involved! My children now prepare amazingly healthy meals for work, because they learned how when they were growing up.

What I know is that nutrient-dense foods give you more energy, make you feel fuller and more satisfied than nutrient-deficient foods. So, go for the nutrition that feeds the body on a deep cellular level.

The meals I eat are small but nutritious, and they are eaten slowly, and chewed well, without liquids to water down my digestive enzymes. Remember to have your liquids at least 90 minutes after a meal or 30 minutes before a meal, but NEVER with a meal. You need to digest your food fully and completely. If you water down your digestive enzymes and aren’t chewing your food until it’s liquid before swallowing it, then your body won’t be able to digest your food effectively. Digestion-related issues are a major cause of many health problems.

Some healthy meal suggestions:

Combine some slices of apples, pears, peaches, or celery, etc. with some seed or nut butter of choice to have as a light meal.

Cut up some vegetables to use with hummus. This makes a delicious easy and satisfying meal. I cut up cucumber, red pepper, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and tomatoes, then put them in a good glass container to take with me for meals. Have the hummus separately so they don’t get mushy.

My daughter was telling me about her “jar salads” she is making. You can make salads in large jars and set them in the refrigerator for grabbing another day. Put the salad dressing on the bottom of the jar, then stack your salad ingredients on top of it. I would place things like small whole tomatoes, olives, or radishes, or something not too absorbable on the first layer over the dressing. This way the salad dressing doesn’t make your salad soggy before you are ready to enjoy it. When you are ready for your salad, simply shake it up in the jar and eat it out of the jar, or you can pour it out into a bowl or plate to combine and enjoy.

My son makes his salads for work in transportable containers. He places his dressing in a separate small container to add to his salad later. Use your favorite veggies or greens.

  1. Beware of buying things that are pre-chopped. Many of my clients go for these, but when I show them that they are usually not organic, and are conventionally grown with GMO seeds or glyphosate (an antibiotic used on foods as a drying agent and/or herbicide chemical to kill weeds, but really kills all life), which is one of the main reasons they are having health challenges, they decide to try a different approach.

Most of these pre-cut or pre-prepared meals and foods are NOT organic, have canola oil in them (or other unhealthy ingredients), and are very high price and tough on the budget.

Another thing to be aware of is that when foods are cut, they start to lose their nutrients as soon as they are exposed to oxygen. So, chop them yourself and have control over how long they are cut and if they are organic.

What I do is take them whole and just cut them up as I eat them. I find it’s easy and also slows me down from gobbling my food too fast. I sit and cut a bite at a time and eat it. Take a plate and silverware with you. Eat with dignity. You deserve it.

  1. Make time for yourself and your health. As I mentioned earlier, choose a day to make a large pot of soup, beans, rice, quinoa, stew, lasagna, or pizza to have for meals in the coming week. Make it an event that is fun, with music, candlelight, and family or friends. Put it on your calendar like it is a business appointment with the Doctor, only it is a health appointment with yourself that is going to give you a higher quality of life, more energy, less sick days, and more vitality!

Decide on two to four main dishes you will have for the coming week and cook them on a weekend day or a day you have off from work.

You can get a recipe prepared and use a crock-pot to cook it during the day while you are at work, and have a meal ready when you get home. It can be a marvelous dinner and enough left over to save for another day.

Once you do that, put it into a variety of single serving bowls you can put in the refrigerator or freezer and take out as needed for meals at work, home, or school, etc.

  1. One thing I recommend for everyone, is to make an investment in a set of glass “Oven to Freezer” single or double serving containers with snug fitting lids. This will make your life so easy! Make large amounts of foods, then store them in these containers for using later in stir-fries, side dishes, meals, etc. If you come home late and are tired, take one of these out of the freezer, remove the lid, and put it in the oven to heat it up while you, take a shower, walk the dog, or are going through your mail.
  2. I understand that not everyone has access to a work refrigerator, but many folks do. I recommend utilizing the office fridge and freezer to optimize your diet and keep your healthy foods available for your meals.
  3. Just remember to NEVER use a MICROWAVE to heat ANYTHING! Microwaves destroy the molecular structure of your food and destroy the nutrients. Don’t even heat water in them. “According to US researcher William Kopp, Russian forensic teams observed the following key effects:
  4. People who ingested microwaved foods showed a statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues and a gradual breakdown of the function of the digestive and excretory systems.
  5. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred within the lymphatic system, causing a degeneration in the immune system’s ability to protect the body against neoplastic (cancerous) growth.
  6. Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional value of all foods studied, most significantly in the bio- availability of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics (substances that prevent abnormal accumulation of fat).
  7. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human consumption creates the cancer-causing agent d-nitrosodiethanolamine.
  8. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral, molecular formations in plant substances — particularly in raw root vegetables.
  9. Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells within the blood serum.
  10. Microwaving foods alters their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system.” (1)

Use a little hot plate to put your warm drink on so you don’t have to reheat it. Try using a little warming oven or toaster oven, or don’t heat it, and eat it at room temperature.

I’ve worked with movie stars, models, CEO’s, doctors, lawyers, etc. Most of them were sick quite often, or had “allergy” problems, autoimmune, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Once they decided to make their health a priority, and actually started taking control of the quality of their food and what went into their body, their health transformed.

It was usually within a week or two, they had improved quality of sleep, higher amounts of energy, sharper mental focus, and better blood tests, and they became believers.

What goes into our body turns into our cells, our tissues, and our blood. How could our food and drink not affect our overall health and well-being.

So, take control of your life!

I have many wonderful easy recipes in my six cookbooks. I also have a lot of recipes in my blog, and on my Youtube videos, Preparing healthy food is easier than you think.

Oftentimes when I do a pantry make-over, I find out what a person likes to eat, and then we go together on a grocery store shopping trip. We replace their favorite foods with better, more nutritious versions that support their health and well-being.

Let’s turn those tired sick days into energetic healthy days!

You can do this!

It is a choice.

It can be easy, delicious, and fun!

]]>

Don’t we all want to have the best kiss possible?  We want to have whiter teeth, fresh breath, and healthy gums. There are a few natural ways to have better dental health and whiter teeth.

Here are my “Top Five” easy, inexpensive ways that you can improve your dental health and whiten your teeth at home.

First:

Brush your teeth three times daily and use the non-toxic tooth whitener by Dirty Mouth,
sold by Primal Life Organics.

Second:

Floss Your Teeth

Directions:

Floss your teeth two to three times daily to keep the stains from lodging between your teeth.

Third:

Oil Pulling

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic Remedy used to enhance oral health and well-being. Oil pulling detoxifies the body, removes unsightly stains on teeth, and prevents illness and disease.

My daughter and I did it infrequently for a while and never noticed a difference; but when we did it on a continual basis for 15 days without interruption, the difference was remarkable.

Amanda saw a huge difference in her gums, teeth, and overall health, when she finally did the oil pulling consistently. I have also noticed a significant difference between when I do it and when I don’t.

Try this on a consistent basis for a couple of weeks, and see how amazingly clean and fresh your mouth feels.

Ingredients:

Pure, organic coconut oil

Unrefined sea salt

A Tongue scraper

A Toothbrush

Purified, (non-chlorinated) water

Directions:

First thing in the morning, before brushing your teeth or eating anything, take 1 teaspoon of pure, organic coconut oil into your mouth and swish the oil around in your mouth, tilting your head back, so that it can get to the back molars.

It is very important that you keep the oil in your mouth the whole time and Avoid Swallowing It. (It may taste strange the first few days, but you will get used to it—just stick with it.)

Pull the oil through your teeth and chew the oil so that it activates the saliva. Do this for at least 10 -15 minutes. The oil will turn white in your mouth as you do this. The oil pulls toxins and excess mucus out of the blood through the mucus membranes in the mouth.

Spit the oil out in a tissue or the toilet.Avoid Swallowing the Oil. After spitting it out, swish your mouth with a cup of warm purified water, along with a pinch of unrefined, mineral-rich sea salt.

Immediately following the sea salt-water rinse, brush your teeth thoroughly. Use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue well, and then use a toothbrush to clean the roof of the mouth.

Next, drink 2–3 glasses of purified (non- chlorinated and non- fluoridated) water.

The result will be a fresh, relaxed feeling. Gums will bleed less and teeth will get whiter.

If you do this on a continual basis, you may notice that the dark, puffy circles under your eyes will start to disappear. You may even have more energy, a better memory, and a better night’s sleep.

Fourth:

Eat Fresh Organic Apples and Strawberries

Consuming strawberries or apples and chewing them thoroughly can help whiten teeth. Apples and strawberries contain malic acid and vitamin C. The malic acid is like an astringent that helps remove surface stains, and the vitamin C helps remove plaque. You can even mash up some fresh strawberries or use a grated apple and brush your teeth with the mixture once in a while.

Note: Adding some fresh organic celery or carrots to your diet can also help promote dental health.

Fifth:

Use Modere’s Liquid Biocell for healthy gums, teeth and their non-toxic mouthwash and toothpaste. Modere’s non-toxic toothpaste and mouthwash is the brand I use. It’s available worldwide. Everything you put in your mouth should be food grade and non-toxic.  It is absorbed directly into your tissue. The mouth is the most absorable part of your body.

If you read the box of some name-brand toothpastes or mouthwashes, you may see a warning that if they are swallowed you should call poison control immediately. The warnings are usually only on the toothpaste box and not on the toothpaste tube itself. In my opinion, we shouldn’t be putting any kind of poison in our mouths at all.

I also use Modere’s Liquid Biocell for healthy gums and teeth.  This product I use, as a supplement, has been proven to restore gum health as well as support joint and muscle fitness, connective tissue health, counteract skin photoaging, restore youthful skin, and support healthy hair, nails, and eyes.*

I use a non-toxic mouthwash and toothpaste from Modere. They also have a wonderful product called  Liquid Biocell that helps improve dental health. Here is the link.

You will get two bottles. You take a tablespoon morning and night
It needs to be refrigerated after you open it.
If you put it on smart-ship, it will be sent to you each month and will provide you with a 5% discount.
You can cancel at any time, but that makes it very easy, so they don’t run out.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems and let me help you.

Wishing you a smile that is bright and healthy!

]]> Everyone wants to be healthy and feel great. Award-winning author, radio show host, Nancy Addison talks with Charles Barber, of Crucial Four, about great nutrition, superfoods and what they can do for health and well-being. They discuss organic, heirloom, nutrient dense food and supplements. They will inspire you with proven information for essential health and optimum nutrition.

For the best super foods, I recommend the Health Ranger, who analyzes his products personally.

It’s hard to know what protein powder or food is healthy and what is free of toxins and heavy metals.
The Health Ranger tests his products with his own testing equipment.

]]> One person’s weed is another person’s herb. A weed is simply a plant that is not meant to grow in a certain landscaping. But really, the rainforest is one big group of weeds (plants) that are super foods! We need to change how we look at our garden and our health. It is all a matter of perspective. I probably drive my yardman crazy, because I tell him not to cut down my dandelions and other plants that are growing wild around my yard.

I have almost an acre and I let all of my plants go to seed. Which means they grow until they produce seeds. I let nature take its’ course and I have gardens growing all over my yard. An arugula here and a plant there. It is fun and I love seeing where my salad will pop up! I love the wildness of it.

Well, I hear about everyone trying desperately to kill their weeds. Dandelions are apparently one of the ones they target. I know Monsanto has had a advertising blitz and round-up weed killer developed just to stamp out the plant.

Well, in my garden the dandelion is one of my most treasured plants. I make tea from it, I juice it with my cucumbers and celery. I also put it in my salads. I noticed the other day that it is right next to the spinach at the Whole Foods Market. Well, dandelion is one of the most healthful plant around! Why is everyone killing it, when they should be eating it! With the high cost of food, you have a very easy to grow, inexpensive super food right in your very own yard.

Let me explain why dandelions are so wonderful.

First of all, Europeans have used it for centuries in their salads, teas and food. It has been known for helping with digestion and the liver function. It helps in wonderfully amazing ways, so why are people killing it instead of eating it? People, who have any kind of gall bladder issue or trouble producing enough bile for the digestion of food, would really benefit from drinking dandelion tea or consuming more dandelion greens. So, stop killing your gourmet salad in your yard. Go organic and harvest your weeds! Little did you know that you were actually a gardener!

Dandelions, I love them!

The post Apple Salad Recipe With Crisp Fresh Apples of the Autumn Harvest appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Now is the time to say adios to summer and the abundant summer crops and welcome the fall harvest. Eating seasonally is both economical and healthy. The seasonal bounty of fall fruits and vegetables has great variety from root and vine grown vegetables to fruits of the tree. Apples are one of these fruits and are delicious when they are fresh off the tree. The apple is the perfect snack: easy, portable, energy boosting, delicious, and fat free!

When the early English colonists arrived in North America, the only apple tree they found was crab apple. However, there are now over 7,000 varieties growing in the US. The colonists brought many seeds and seedlings with them over the years, but the first apple trees the colonists brought didn’t bear much fruit, because there were no honeybees in North America. The colonists started bringing over hives of honeybees as early as 1622 to pollinate the trees.

A New York Publication in 1670 stated: “You shall scarce see a house, but the South side is begirt with Hives of Bees. The Native Americans loved the new apples that the colonists brought with them and cultivated them extensively throughout the US.

The apple is one of the most nutritious foods with remedies dating back to the earliest times of history. The apple is a member of the rose family and the blossom looks very much like a wild rose. One medium apple, fresh, raw, and with the skin, has high levels of vitamin C, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, boron, and folate. All of those nutrients are packed into a small fruit with only 81 calories. Boron is a trace element, which has been shown to strengthen bones.

Pectin is a soluble fiber in apples which removes cholesterol, toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and the residues of radiation. In addition, the fiber content of one apple is equivalent to a serving of bran cereal. The malic and tartaric acid found in apples inhibits growth of disease-producing bacteria in the intestinal tract.

The American Cancer Association says that the apple is a lung strengthening food and can lower the incidence of lung cancer, while studies have also shown that the liver and gallbladder benefit from the cleansing properties of the apple and apple juice. Furthermore, the antioxidant phytonutrients found in apples helps fight the damaging effects of LDL, which we know as bad cholesterol.

The physical benefits of apples have also been noted. A poultice of grated apples placed over the eyes for up to 20 to 30 minutes can help with swelling, sunburn, and “pink eye.”

This simple recipe is much like the Waldorf Salad recipe I learned from my mother. This recipe makes a great light lunch to pack for school or work.

Recipe

Apple Salad

Salad Ingredients:

3 large red apples cored and cut into bite size pieces.
2/3-cup pineapple (fresh is the best choice) crushed or cut into cubes.
1/ 3 cup celery, diced

3 Tablespoon pecan pieces

Dressing Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon pineapple juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the salad ingredients.

In a small bowl mix together the dressing ingredients and then mix the dressing in with the fruit.

Variations I add grapes to this salad when available. Walnuts can be used instead of pecans.

]]> Nancy Addison Discusses  Metro Cooking, Houston and Dallas

I just thought I would keep you up on what I am doing this week.
I spoke at Metro Cooking Houston last week and it was a really
exciting and a fun event.I spoke to the media at a special event and
then presented 4 talks on the healing diet and organic gardening.

At night we went out to dinner and when we went to Bistro 19 and Charles
Clark’s Ibiza. Charles is an amazing chef, who told me he loved my book.

Both restaurants were superb. Charles Clark is opening up a restaurant here in Dallas soon.
Here is the information for my talks this weekend. I give 2 thirty
minute talks on the healing diet and one on easy organic gardening
and I sign my books for anyone who wishes to buy them.

This event is huge in Washington DC, where they have had the event for
12 years. This was the second year it has been in Houston and it is
the first year in Dallas.

It is a huge food festival! I was really impressed with the quality of
the event.

Here are the links. It is at the Dallas Convention Center this
Saturday and Sunday.

Mommy opossum survives being hit by a car.

Another day in the life of a wild animal rehabber.

   Today, I received a phone call from the police department at SMU. They had a mommy opossum, in the street, and she had been hit by a car. I asked what they had done and they told me that the police officer would not touch her, because of police regulations. Thankfully, they had been really great guys and not just killed her. Instead they had called my volunteer group, the DFW Wildlife Coalition, which is made up of certified and licensed wildlife rehabilitators. Thankfully we have earned and gained a wonderful reputation with the police departments around the city. Almost all the police departments in the city, now call us instead of killing the wild animals like they had previously done in the past as normal procedure. So, because of their University police rules, she was still in the street. I was not sure what to expect as I drove there quickly.

        When I arrived, there were two police cars with their lights flashing. A crowd of students standing around looking at this poor mommy opossum that was frightened, badly wounded and barely standing in the street. Many were concerned, but simply did not know what to do about handling a badly wounded mommy opossum. I was really surprised she was still standing. Her face was all bloody and her eye was hanging outside of her face. Her little babies were all clinging to her back. I pulled my car over quickly and got out of my car. I didn’t have any rescue equipment with me today. I had been fortunately been at SMU that day, so I had been nearby.

          I had been working and I was in my nice clothes and high heels; which was not the best thing to wear when trying to rescue a wild animal. I opened my car trunk and luckily I had a big towel. I got it out and walked over to the mommy opossum. The officer looked really shocked and said, aren’t you afraid she will bite you? I replied that they know I am there to help them. Animals can read your energy. Opossums are actually very docile and fragile creatures. I reached down and gently scooped her up in my towel as carefully and gently as I possibly could and started to walk back to my car. I did not have anything to put her in; so I was just going to put her down on the floor of my car on the soft towel for the car ride to my home. It was 6:45 at night and there weren’t any vets open at this hour that I knew would look at a wild animal. I would have to wait until morning.

          Officer Norris walked over to help and opened the car door and then moved some things for me out of the floor for me. I was trying to hurry, because she was so tremendously hurt, I needed to get her to a place where I could take care of her and get her calm and quiet.I knew she was in shock. I told him quickly a few of my opossum facts, like they don’t carry rabies; they are really docile and sweet. Their closest relative is the koala bear. How they have no defense except looking scary and a few quick facts so he would treat opossums with more kindness in the future. He wanted to ask me questions about how he can find me again, if he needs me. I quickly gave him my information and told him that I work with the DFW Wildlife Coalition. He thanked me and I was off.

          I drove very slowly and carefully so that she wasn’t jostled anymore than necessary. With all of the blood and her poor little eye, I didn’t think she was going to survive. Surprises do happen. I got her fixed up a little and put her to bed in a soft warm place away from my dog. Her babies still nestled up under her body. I tried to keep them intact so she would feel secure. I gave her some water, but she didn’t really drink any. I let her rest until morning, because I felt like she couldn’t take anything more that day.
           The next morning, I was so surprised to find her still alive. Just barely breathing, but still hanging in there. I called my vet and told him I was coming over with a hurt mommy. I got there and he saw her right away. I had her in a box with all of her babies still with her.

          Dr.Ward looked at her closely and cleaned her wounds. He told me he thought her jaw was broken, but after some more careful observation, he decided her jaw was not broken. I was so relieved. . Her eye really hurt her and it was awful to watch as he tried to clean it. She had dried blood caked on her head. Most of it came off pretty well and easily. She cried a little bit though. He tried to be as gentle as he could. He gave her some fluids with an IV and gave me one to take home. He gave her a shot of antibiotics and some cortisone to help with the swelling.
            When I got her home, I put her on some clean soft towels and let her rest. When I checked on her later that day, she had eaten some food, some of the water had been drunk and some of the strawberry smoothie had also been eaten. I was so happy. The babies were still nursing and she seemed really worn out. I am hoping she will continue getting better. I will continue to keep them and raise the babies; so that they can be released into the wild when they are grown. I will probably keep the mommy, because of her condition. I may keep her for life, because of her eye. I don’t think she can survive in the wild without her eye. I hope she continues to improve every day until she feels great. This is just another day in the life of an animal rehabber.
