NO SUGAR ICE CREAM RECIPE BELOW

In March 2025, as many of you know, my husband, Russ, was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones and lymph nodes.

Some diet changes: absolutely NO sugar, carbs, red meat, dairy (eats eggs) lots of fresh veggies. Lots of interesting recipes.

And yet, here we are today—grateful beyond words. ❤️

Since his diagnosis, Russ has made some significant lifestyle changes. He has embraced a healthier diet, continues to wear his LifeWave patches as part of our wellness routine, and takes Provizion GSH (glutathione), a product we have used and valued for years.

Medically, his current treatment is a Lupron injections every six months to lower his testosterone.

What continues to amaze and encourage us is how well he is doing. He has experienced no noticeable symptoms from the cancer and continues tackling his work projects, staying active, and living life much as he always has.

We don’t take any of this for granted.

We are incredibly thankful for every day, for the strength and energy Russ continues to have, and most of all, for God’s faithfulness through this journey. 🙏❤️

One day at a time. One blessing at a time. And a whole lot of gratitude.

This interview on Radically YOU with Nicole Constantino is much more than a conversation—it's my testimony.

Fifty-one years ago, one woman, Laurie Currie Proia, stepped into my life, and everything changed. Through her kindness, faith, and willingness to share God's love, she helped point me in a new direction. Looking back, I can see how that moment became the beginning of a journey that transformed my life.

In this interview, I share my story—the struggles, the lessons, the heartaches, the victories, and the incredible faithfulness of God through it all.

I am deeply humbled to tell my story and eternally grateful to Laurie for the role she played in helping me discover a new path all those years ago.

Yes, the interview is over an hour long, but I promise it is worth the listen. It is a powerful reminder that God changes us from the inside out. No matter where we start, He is able to heal, restore, redeem, and make all things new.

I hope my journey encourages you and reminds you that your story is still being written.

❤️

Make a wish--when I was a young girl one my favorite things to do was to blow the dandelions that had gone to seed and make a wish. As I look at all the dandelions all through yards and roadside, I think of wishes that I've made on my journey. My wish for us is that we learn how to let go of the bad and hold on to the good...☺️ You are loved! 🙏

Welcome to ABBA connecting you to Better Alternatives!
My name is Antonina Bell (Nina). I am the Founder of A.B. Better Alternatives - ABBA which was officially launched in 1999. My title is “Connector.” A Connector by definition from the social aspect is “one who helps others by connecting them together.”

Through the years, many doors have opened to me allowing me experience on a national and international level in the business and ministry arenas. From speaking to thousands of young people, to planning unforgettable events and workshops, and reaching out to women across this country, I am amazed at the opportunities I have had as just an ordinary woman in the hands of an extraordinary God! I am grateful!

For close to 50 years, I have stayed the course of well-being. Now well into my 70’s, I feel great! I have lots of energy and I am constantly discovering more and more to help keep me in health. I have had amazing results by keeping an open mind.
I pray this FB Page will be a blessing in many ways. From sharing info concerning health—not just for your body—but for emotional and spiritual well being. Stay tuned!
