Hey everyone,

Below is the latest update..... But to stay in the loop, how about signing up for my monthly newsletter here?

Posted October 14, 2018:
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Having just completed "The 21-day Meal Plan" chapter, there are only 2 chapters remaining which should be pretty straight-forward. I hope to have the completed written version submitted to my publisher by November 1.
Here's how God has blessed me beyond measure once again. I contacted a friend in Florida continue reading here.

Plant-based Meals Now Required in CA Hospitals

By

 

SACRAMENTO—The Physicians Committee—a nonprofit with 12,000 doctor members—applauds California Gov. Jerry Brown for signing into law a landmark bill that guarantees patients a healthful plant-based option at every meal.

SB 1138 will require licensed California healthcare facilities and state prisons to make available plant-based meal options containing no animal products or by-products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, or eggs.

In June 2017, the American Medical Association passed a resolution that calls on U.S. hospitals to improve the health of patients, staff, and visitors by providing plant-based meals. The American College of Cardiology made the same recommendation.

One hospital in Sonoma County, Calif., reports, “Vegetarian entrées cost about 50 percent less than meat entrées.” The hospital projects saving $5,000 a year by serving more meat-free meals.

Hopefully, this movement will head west! And if we can get them to eliminate all the added oils, we'll finally be able to eat there 🙂

Though Jesus wanted solitude, when He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them,

and He healed the sick and the lame. (Matthew 14:14, VOICE)

Local success story – Autoimmune skin disorder now dormant!

By

(Written by Linda Z): The transformation to a whole food, plant-based diet has not only helped me to lose weight and boost my health, but it has also diminished an autoimmune disorder that I was diagnosed with called Hailey and Hailey Disease. Hailey and Hailey is a rare skin disorder that affects the skin—there is something missing genetically that causes the dermis of the skin to blister, become infected, cause lesions, and eventually cause a topical yeast infection. I would have extreme bouts of this disorder that would inflame my skin and cause serious pain.....

I'm never ceased to be amazed by the healing power of a whole food, plant-based diet! Thank you, Linda, for sharing your story. You are a walking testimony to what a diet change can do!

 

 

Herbed Avocado Toasties

By

We were pleasantly surprised by this simple sandwich recipe by Emma Roche which was posted in a 2013 McDougall newsletter. I confess it's much yummier than I thought it would be. The combo of avocado spread with fresh tomatoes on whole-grain bread really hits the spot!

Here's the recipe (follow the link and scroll down a bit to find it).

Plus, I had everything on hand to make it (except the avocado, fresh herbs, and scallions!)

So I improvised with what I had. I used guacamole on hand, so I spooned out what I thought would equal one avocado. Instead of fresh dill and coriander, I used dried spices from the jars, and I used red onions instead of scallions.

I also didn't use as much hot sauce as called for, that's up to you!

The garden fresh tomatoes and mixed greens were super on Dave's Killer Bread, which is quite hearty.

If you don't care for avocado, I'm pretty sure ANY of your favorite dips would work well for this - as long as they're not too runny.

Good news for anyone with Type 2 diabetes

By

Eric Adams, a borough President in Brooklyn, New York, had diabetes so severe that he was losing his eyesight and the feeling in his legs.

After stumbling upon the benefits of a plant-based diet and changing his diet, he completely reversed his condition in only three months. Now he's telling everyone he can that there's an answer for those suffering from crippling chronic conditions.

Read Eric's story here, and share with anyone you know struggling with Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by FAT, not sugar. Even the American Diabetes Association recognizes that fact as true.

The good news is that this disease is completely reversible! By adopting a low-fat, plant-based diet, the fat in your cells will melt away and restore cell function to normal, once again allowing the glucose in your blood to get into its intended cells. No more need to "manage" diabetes.
