Guided from the Other Side

"The Other Side" in the title refers to the author's grandfather. He was an exceptionally kind and loving man and once he passed he remained in touch with his granddaughter, who he had always been close to. Many, many times, while on the other side, he acted to tell her what do do and saved her life. He also guided her to help many very sick people, some that were terminally ill were guided back to health, including his great-granddaughter and great- great-granddaughter.

After a year of residency in Scottsdale, Arizona she was certified to begin practice. The following year, she obtained a Doctor of Nutritional Philosophy from that institution.

She directed a live show from the Tom's River Mall and did her own special from a plastic surgery center in Monmouth County. The weekly show ran for over a year.She was able to present a lot of help to special needs adults as well as children. She taught holistic health in the Southern Regional School District Adult School for eight years and was chosen by the American Association of University Women in 1997 to present workshops to high school students as part of a conference entitled "Celebrating the Woman as a Total Person." Dr. Dell presented a workshop to teachers at the 10th Annual Five District In-Service in 1993. Her topic was the role of nutrition in the learning process. What happened was the schools were behind in testing and it amounted to a lot of money. The Principal called and asked if she could work to help the students to, perhaps, do better on their testing. She recommended that all of the kids be given a free breakfast and, if they chose to purchase from McDonald's, to make it an Egg McMuffin or a Biscuit Egg and Cheese. This decision had astounding results.At the community level, the Mayor (Carl Block) from the Township of Stafford, recognized her in 1991 for her endeavor of founding The Wellness Club for Kids With Cancer. The Club, realizing the wish of Dell's granddaughter, Alicia, helped cancer patients and their families cope with the side effects and lifestyle changes of the illness. The Club gave nutritional and emotional support in conjunction with conventional treatment. It gave children and adults the latest in safe and effective therapies, at no cost.After maintaining a private nutritional practice and health center in Ocean County, New Jersey for 20 years, Dell currently resides in Tarpon Springs, Florida.
