Social Insecurity!

There's a frightening trend in America.

What's worse... it effects even the hardest working, most deserving men and women.

Out of 100 people that start working at the age of 25 - by the age of 65...

1 is wealthy
3 are still working
4 have enough money to retire
63 depend on Social Security or charity
29 are deceased

This information comes from a study done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it indicates that only 5% of people over the age of 65 are able to retire!

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be working until I die. I want to enjoy my "golden years" as much as the next guy.

Fewer and fewer people are putting their trust and faith in "Big Business," because the first rule for success according to J. Paul Getty is...

"You must be in business for yourself.
You will never get rich working for someone else."

Fight back against this frightening trend.

Don't be one of the 63 depending on Social Security!

Don't be one of the 29 that are deceased!

Instead be in the top 5%!

Start today, building a business for yourself that can put you onto the fast track to better health and success.

It's a new year, time for a new you!

The blueprint is written, and we're ready to hand it to you...

All you have to do is grab it!

No Matter How Busy You Are by Jim Rohn

No Matter How Busy You Are by Jim Rohn

No matter how busy you are, make sure to find some time over the next two weeks to reflect, think, give and plan.

The week between Christmas and New Year's is the ideal time for this. Try to slow things down. Spend time with the ones you love and care about. Take some time to talk with your spouse and kids about goals and dreams for the next year. Use this as a time to recharge your batteries (and not just by watching TV the entire time), and with excitement, think about a handful of changes or additions you want for your life in the New Year.

I believe you will find the act of reflecting, thinking, dreaming and planning (with your family) to be one of the most important exercises you can do that will positively impact the next 12 months.

And, remember, do not neglect to commit yourself to set this time aside, or you will find that the business of life can and will get in the way.

So, let's all take a moment to gather up the past year of victories and defeats, growing as well as those times of stagnation, and use it to wipe a clean slate and thoughtfully design the next year the way we truly desire it to be.

Keys To Building Solid Relationships

Keys To Building Solid Relationships


People like to do business with people they know and trust. This is why building solid relationships is so important. Relationship-building can take many forms but some elements are essential to all. Let’s take a moment to review some of these essentials that will help you nurture and grow solid relationships within your organization.

Your 30-Second Introduction

Have you upgraded your 30-second introduction lately? If you haven’t revised it in the last twelve months, it’s probably stale. A new introduction can spark energy and enthusiasm—in yourself as well as others. Consider infusing powerful action words like “create,” “design,” “organize,” “generate,” “solve,” and “produce”. Deliver it in front of a mirror or camcorder and see what others see.

A Two-Way Street. What’s in it for them? We often think of what we want to get from relationships. Flip this over and consider what you’re willing to give to your downline. Do you have knowledge or techniques that will help your downline be successful? Keep in mind that building relationships is a two-way street, so to speak, that begins with you. Approaching relationships in a giving, proactive mode is an excellent beginning.
Follow up, Follow up, Follow up

The simple act of following up with your customers or business builders will make you stand out with them. To follow-up impactfully, always remember to create a contact management list first. You may start to see growth as you demonstrate an interest in relationship building with your downline members, and additional growth as they, in turn, start to do the same.

Time and Patience


You might want to think of building business relationships the same way as you would grow a garden. Gardening requires nurturing, resources (water, Bloomin’ Minerals™, sunlight, etc.), and patience. But the results (a bountiful harvest) are worth it. Similarly, developing healthy, productive relationships also requires nurturing (followup) resources (sharing of knowledge) and patience. And the results are definitely worth it!

It is Up to You!

It is Up to You

One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.

Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.

This isn't true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.

The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you "you must do it yourself.

Now, some people may say, "Jim, that's a lot of responsibility." Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do "just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. "It is up to you" is a great blessing!

Here's why:

1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to start a small business and stay there. That's great because you can choose that. Maybe you want to create a small chain of stores. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That's okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.

2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return "or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.

3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.

4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.

Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? DO you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, "It is up to you?"

You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.

And that is very exciting!

This Is Sheer Stupidity!

Experts will debate whether more KIDS should be screened and treated for high cholesterol. 
   New NIH guidelines recommend screening ALL kids between ages 9 to 11...and again between 17 to 21. 
   Advocates say universal screening is needed to identify more kids with dyslipidemia...and spur healthier lifestyle choices. 
   Up to 60% of kids with dyslipidemia are missed if only kids with a family history of dyslipidemia or premature CV disease are screened. 
   But critics worry that it'll be too tempting to treat high cholesterol with drug therapy. There's no proof that treating kids prevents future heart disease...or that long-term treatment is safe. 
   Recommend appropriate exercise, diet, and weight. This should be enough for the typical kid with dyslipidemia...those who are overweight with high triglycerides, normal or slightly high LDL, and low HDL. 
   In general, suggest saving meds for kids if a genetic dyslipidemia is suspected...such as those with an LDL over 190 mg/dL. 
   If meds are needed, suggest starting with a low-dose statin. 
   Most statins are approved for kids as young as 10...and pravastatin for as young as 8. Educate teenage girls on statins about contraception if appropriate...because of possible harm to the fetus.

Failing?

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined. Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon . . . must inevitably come to pass!- Paul J Meyer

Put the Compound Effect to Work for You

Put the Compound Effect to Work for You

• What area, person, or circumstance in your life do you struggle with the most? Start journaling all the aspects of that situation that you are grateful for. Keep a record of everything that reinforces and expands your gratitude in that area.

• where in your life are you not taking 100% responsibility for success or failure of your present condition? Write down 3 things you've done in the past that have messed things up. List 3 things you should've done but didn't. Write 3 things that happened to you that you responded poorly to and 3 things you can start doing now to take back responsibility for the outcomes in your life.

• Start tracking at least one behavior in one area of your life you'd like to change and improve (e.g., money, nutrition, fitness, parenting, recognizing others . . . any area).

Daily Action Steps for Success

Daily Action Steps for Success

• Write out a few excuses you might be clinging to (e.g., not smart enough, no experience, wrong upbringing, don't have the education, etc). Decide to make up in hard work and personal development to outcompete anyone -- including your old self.

• Write out the half-dozen small, seemingly inconsequential steps you can take every day that can take your life in a completely new and positive direction.

• Write down the small, seemingly inconsequential actions you can stop doing that might be compounding your results downward.

• List a few areas, skills, or outcomes where you have been most successful in the past. Consider whether you could be taking those for granted and are not continuing to improve, and are therefore in jeopardy of having that complacency lead to future failure.

Weird is fun without guilt and without monthly payments!

Mineral Supplementation

There are three ways of supplementing with mineral
1 - Elemental Minerals - Elemental minerals are metals. In patients under 40 8-12% of the metalic minerals are absorbed into the body. Over 40 this absorption drops to 3-5%. Lets look at Calcium Lactate for example, 1000mg of Calcium Lactate contains only 140mg of elemental calcium. So if only 10% is absorbed that means on 14mg of calcium is actually absorbed. Many of the essential minerals in their elemental for can actually be toxic to the body.

2 - Chelated Minerals - This is the type that farmers use to feed their livestock. Chelated Minerals have digestive engymes added to increase absorption. This type of mineral has a 40% absorption rate.

3 - Choloidal Minerals - This type of mineral has been designed with a negative (-) charge. The intestinal lining carries a positive (+) charge. Since opposite charges attract each other this tyoe of mineral is 98% absorbed.

The supplement program I like the best comes from Youngevity. I prefer BeyondTangy Tangerine as a foundation to get over 90 of the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that your body needs to support and promote better health. This is by far the most you can find in any vitamin supplement. It is in a liquid form that is highly absorbable and containes over 77 plant derived cholodial minerals. Since the minerals are of the cholodial form these are very highly absorbed. It includes high doses of the B vitamins which help support and maintian healthy nerves and micro-blood vessels.

It also contains:
  • Contains 115 fruits and vegetables so you won’t skimp on the good stuff

  • Fights free-radicals with 5X the ORAC value of mangosteen juice

  • No artificial sweeteners or preservatives

  • Promotes healthy blood sugar levels

  • Is Glycemic-friendly for diabetics and the sugar conscious

  • Supports a healthy cardiovascular, immune and digestive system

    Mineral Conspiracy!

    Did you know that the food we eat today does not have any where near the mineral content that it did when this country was founded?

    The US Senate did!

    BACK IN 1936!

    Here is Senate Document 264 explaining why we have a mineral deficiency in this country. And the medical community says "You get all the vitamins and minerals from your 4 basic food groups"

    BULL!
    Makes one wonder if they know we are mineral deficient and they don't want us to supplement because its a waste of our money, who really profits from our mineral deficient bodies?

    74th Congress, 2nd Session, June 5, 1936

    "Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume."

    "Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance?"

    "The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them you eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his/her system with the minerals they require for perfect health because their stomach isn't big enough to hold them."
    "The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth eating as food... Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein, or carbohydrates we consume."

    "This talk about minerals is novel and quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new that the text books on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it become."

    "You'd think, wouldn't you, that a carrot is a carrot - that one is about as good as another as far as nourishment is concerned? But, it isn't; one carrot may look and taste like another and yet be lacking in the particular mineral element which our system requires and which carrots are supposed to contain."
    "Laboratory test prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago (which doubtless explains why our forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us!)"

    "No longer does a balanced and fully nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or fixed proportions of starches, proteins and carbohydrates. We know that our diets must contain in addition something like a score of mineral salts."

    "It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack or one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives."

    "We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of mineral's they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless."

    "Certainly our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories of vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein of carbohydrates we consume."

    "This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health."

    Talking To Ourselves

    Here is an article by the psychological self help motivational speaker, Denis Waitley. This is fantastic advise.


    We're all talking to ourselves every moment of our lives, except during certain portions of our sleeping cycle. We're seldom even aware that we're doing it. We all have a running commentary in our heads on events and our reactions to them. Here are some tips to remember:

    • Be aware of the silent conversations you have with yourself. Are you a nurturing coach or a critic? Do you reinforce your own success or negate it? Are you comfortable saying to yourself, "That's more like it." "Now we're in the groove." "Things are working out well." "I'll do it better next time."

    • When you fail, view it as a temporary inconvenience, a learning experience, an isolated event, and a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.

    • When you have even a small success, reinforce that success by rewarding yourself and feeling pride, rather than feeling lucky or guilty for the attention.

    • When you receive a compliment for any reason, simply respond: "Thank you." And accept value graciously whenever it is offered.

    • Always greet the people you meet with a smile. When introducing yourself in any new association, take the initiative to volunteer your own name first, clearly; and always extend your hand first, looking the person in the eyes when you speak.

    • In your telephone communications at work or at home, answer the telephone pleasantly, immediately giving your name to the caller. And when you call, give your name before you ask for the party you want and before you state your business. Leading with your name underscores that a person of value is making the call.

    • Don't brag. People who trumpet their exploits and shout for service are actually calling for help. The showoffs, braggarts and blowhards are desperate for attention.

    • Don't tell your problems to people, unless they're directly involved with the solutions. And don't make excuses. Always talk affirmatively about the progress you are trying to make.

    Apply these tips and keep the running commentary in your head on a positive note!

    3 Triggers to Health Challenges

    3 Triggers to Health Challenges 

    When we get right down to it there are only 3 things that can be traced to trigger all malfunctions of the body. Everything else is related, everything comes down to:
    • Inflammation
    • Immunity
    • Digestion
    There are over 12,000 diseases of the human body and they all have a component, a cause that can be related to one or a combination of all three.



    Look closely at your health challenges, no matter what they are all are basically linked to Inflammation and immunity coming in from the digestive system. Many times then affecting blood sugar and adrenal-thyroid issues.

    Once we accept that there are over 12,000 plus diseases and they all come from the same basic place; that these fundamental bio-chemical causes are behind every degenerative disease from cancer, heart disease, diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the kidneys, diseases of the lymph system, all the ways we age and most of the ways we die are also connected to inflammation, the immune system and digestion. The evidence is overwhelming.

    We can believe this to be true, and there is no compelling evidence to the contrary or we don't. If we don't we are just not being rational about it.

    Think about this a moment, traditional medicine never looks at the root causes of a problem.
    • We have arthritis pain, they give us an anti-inflammatory drug.
    • We have reflux, they give us acid reducing medications
    • We have "elevated" cholesterol, they give us cholesterol lowering medications
    • We have osteoporosis, they give drugs to stop bone loss
    • We have high blood pressure, they give us a drug to lower your blood pressure. 
    What do these treatments have in common?

    They all treat a symptom, none of them address the root cause of the condition and eliminate the cause. That's why you never get off these medications. By not addressing the cause your health deteriorates and you take more and more medications.

    So if we look at all these medical conditions and trace them back to their root causes, we can then address ways to improve these conditions.

    That is precisely what we were taught in pharmacy school, to decipher the root causes then educate the patient on how to eliminate those root causes.

    My mission is to show that there are bio-chemical reasons for these conditions and ways to correct them so we don't have to be committed to the current medical model of just treating symptoms with ever increasingly dangerous medications that don't heal or improve anything.

    I want everyone to understand that there is a bio-chemical cause; a bio-chemical etiology; a bio-chemical beginning so we can examine our choices in a clear headed manor, free of the "religion" of modern medicine.
    There are options, if you dare to explore them. Join me and we will discover them together.

    Good Fat Bad Fat

    To understand how fats affect health, we must begin by realizing that there are two opposite stories about fats. There are fats that kill, which we should avoid. And there are fats that heal that we must obtain from our food.

    Much has been said about the fats that kill. They are associated with deaths from cardiovascular disease (43%), cancer (23%), diabetes (2%), and other degenerative diseases that kill 68% of Western populations. Only a 100 years ago, this was rare indicating that these deaths are from diseases of lifestyle, not genetics.

    The problem with our focus on the killer fats is that it is an inadequate focus. If we were to remove all bad fats from our diet, and do it perfectly (100%) we would still die if we did not bring in and optimize the fats that heal. This is because we cannot live without the fats that heal, and removing the bad fats makes no guarantee of obtaining the good ones.

    The story of the fats that heal, the good fats, the essential fatty acids is therefore the more interesting and important story by far. To bring the neglected good fats into our diet, we must identify their sources, their functions, and the signs of their deficiency. 

    What are the good (essential) fats?

    Certain fats are defined as 'essential' because:

    1. The body cannot make them;
    2. They are required for normal cell, tissue, gland, and organ function, for health, and for life;
    3. They must be provided from outside the body, through food or supplements;
    4. They can come only from fats (hence fat-free diets cannot supply them);
    5. Their absence from the diet will eventually kill;
    6. Deficiency results in progressive deterioration, can lead to death;
    7. Return of essential fatty acids to a deficient diet reverses the symptoms of deficiency and results in a return to health.

    What happens when we don't get enough good fats?

    The short answer is: Every part of the body gradually deteriorates and falls apart. No cell, tissue, gland, or organ can function normally without them. Here is a longer list:

    * Dry skin
    * Constipation
    * Low energy levels
    * Brittle hair and hair loss
    * Poor nail growth
    * Deterioration of liver and kidneys
    * Behavioral changes due to brain deterioration
    * Glands dry up
    * Immune system deteriorates, resulting in more infections, poorer wound healing, and increased cancer
    * Digestion problems, inflammation, bloating, allergies, autoimmune conditions
    * Bone mineral loss
    * Reproductive failure: sterility in males and miscarriage in females
    * Retarded growth of children
    * Tingling in arms and legs due to nerve deterioration
    * Vision and learning problems
    * Insulin resistance
    * Increased risk of overweight
    * Increased cancer risk
    * Increased cardiovascular risk
    * Decreased ability to cope with stress
    * In mental illness, increased symptoms
    * Decreased lung function
    * Decreased tissue oxidation

    What are the functions of essential fatty acids?

    Essential fatty acids have many functions throughout the body. They are involved in:

    * Energy production. In a study with athletes in Denmark, it was shown that within one month of giving athletes one tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day of an oil blend with an Omega-3: Omega-6 ratio of 2:1, stamina increased by up to 40 or even 60%. Athletes could exercise longer before reaching exhaustion, recovered more quickly from fatigue, could exercise more often without over-training, healed quicker from injuries, built muscle faster, and had less joint pain.

    Energy improvement is also seen in non-athletes and older people. The EFA blend also improves mental stamina.

    * Brain Function. In work with the blended oil, consistent improvements were seen in brain function, and research with EFAs from other sources has also shown brain benefits. Among these are elevated mood, lifted depression, increased calmness, better handling of stress, less hyperactivity, better focus, better mental processing, faster learning, increased intelligence, better concentration, and improved motor coordination.

    Among the mentally ill, EFAs can decrease hallucinations in schizophrenics, elevate mood, lift depression, improve symptoms in bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and improve brain function in Alzheimer's disease and autism.

    EFAs are also required for vision.

    * Skin, Hair, and Nails. EFAs are required for healthy skin and hair, and are required for normal nail growth. They moisturize skin and prevent dryness.

    * Cancer. Omega-3 EFAs may lower cancer risk.

    * Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Omega 3 can decrease most CVD risk factors, including high triglycerides (blood fats), blood pressure, platelet stickiness, fibrinogen, and lipoprotein(a). N-3 also keep the inside of our arteries smooth. N-3 and n-6 keep the heart beat regular.

    * Diabetes. EFAs are required for insulin function. Omega-3 make diabetics more insulin-sensitive.

    * Weight Management. Omega-6 slightly and Omega-3 more effectively help reduce fat production in the body. They also increase fat burning and heat production in the body, and shift the body from burning glucose to burning fats. Saturated, monounsaturated, and trans- fatty acids do not help to manage weight. Sugar triggers increased fat production in the body. Starch can also lead to overweight.

    * Digestion. EFAs improve gut integrity, decrease gut inflammation, and decrease 'leaky gut' that can lead to allergies.

    * Allergies. EFAs reduce symptoms of allergies. They work best if digestive enzymes rich in protein-digesting protease are also used.

    * Inflammation. Omega-3 reduce inflammation. Digestive enzymes are also helpful.

    * Autoimmune Conditions. Omega-3 dampen the over-response of the immune system in autoimmune conditions. Again, enzymes are also helpful.

    * Injury. EFAs speed the healing of injuries.

    * Bone Minerals. Omega 3 oils improve bone mineral retention, thereby inhibiting the development of osteoporosis.

    * Stress. EFAs, by optimizing serotonin production, improve response to stress. People report feeling calmer, getting stressed less easily, dealing with stressful situations more calmly, and losing their temper less often.

    * Sleep. EFAs improve sleep in some people.

    * Hormones. EFAs improve hormone functions. Hormone levels may decrease, yet the effects of hormones remain normal. EFAs thereby ease the work load of glands.

    * Organs. EFAs are required for liver and kidney function.

    * Reproduction. EFAs are required for sperm formation, the female cycle, and pregnancy.

    Long term use of acid lowering drugs causes severe magnesium loss

    PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS (PPIs):
    Taking a PPI over a year, has been linked to an increased risk of hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemia has been reported with all PPI's Severe hypomagnesemia can cause potentially serious effects including muscle spasm, tetany, arrhythmia, hypokalemia, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, and seizures. Case reports suggest that up to 25% of patients who developed hypomagnesemia had to discontinue the PPI in order for magnesium levels to return to normal. In many cases, hypomagnesemia recurred when the PPI was re-initiated. Some experts speculate that the magnesium depletion caused by PPIs could contribute to the increased risk of fracture seen in some patients taking PPIs long-term.
    .
    PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole, (Prevacid), pantoprazole (Protonix), rabeprazole (AcipHex), and dexlansoprazole (Dexilant). Keith Abell, RPh CIP MI

    How to Locate and Sponsor Leaders Into Your MLM

    How to Locate and Sponsor Leaders Into Your MLM


    You should always strive to be more efficient with your time and what you do. Some people make fundamental errors with their time management and focus of study. Before you learn to get traffic, you should learn to capture leads. Before you learn to capture leads or get traffic, you should learn how to sponsor and recruit people. Before you learn to sponsor and recruit people, you should focus on the perfect type of person you actually want in your business. If you want to become a major earner in your company, learn to get leaders to tell you yes and you are on your way.

    Who is a Leader?

    I would say a leader is someone of influence with a large social network. That does NOT mean they have to have a million followers a twitter that a software did for them, I mean, someone who either online or offline have a lot of people that know them by name and they have some amount of influence with them.

    What Turns Leaders Off is what turns Followers on

    People have different reasons why they will join your network marketing business. I have found that what turns lesser prospects on is the exact deterrent for leaders. One word, HYPE. The use of hype in your marketing may actually get you some signups but leaders very possibly could be turned off by this tactic. Let me explain:

    A leader knows that WORK is the way to get wealthy. That doesn't mean using a hammer and chisel but putting effort and time into something worthwhile should net them results. The promise of get rich quick immediately has them disqualify the opportunity. This is why you should have congruence in your conversations and marketing. Network marketing is a long term solution, period. Even the guys that make a lot of money took a long time to get there and if you are straight forward in your marketing and conversations, you will get more leaders to say yes.

    Honesty and Brutal Candor is a major turn on for leaders

    Yesterday I was on the phone with a pretty big leader. One of my teammates knew the guy and got me on a three way call (yes, I still do those, lol). This guy was sharp, he asked me several test questions, one of which was, if I shoot out an email to my big list will I get signups? I responded, probably to the cringing of my teammate, probably not. LOL. He said why and I responded that most people are pretty much over the big marketer without personal touch type recruiting. People have followed people from deal to deal and most people are up to date now that it doesn't work unless you have some personal touch with a supportive upline, etc. I could tell he was blown away by my honesty and we really hit it off after that. Tell them the major hurdle when first introducing this business to people, they truly will appreciate your honesty.

    How to tell if someone is NOT a leader

    They tell you. They tell you how much money they made in the past and how much influence they have. They tell you how they could blow up this business and put hundreds of people in. They tell you who they know. They tell you how quickly they will reach the top ranks in the company. These are ALL sure-fire ways to know they are not a leader, they are a wanna-be. I have heard this, and even fell for this, many, many times and without fail, they did either nothing or very little. I now get massively disappointed when people tell me how big-time they are as I know it means, they probably won't do anything.

    How to Locate and Attract Leaders into Your MLM

    Get inside their head. What do they want? Where do they hang out? What do they do? Who do they associate with, what books do they read? What functions do they attend? Take the time to write down your perfect person that you would love to have in your business and then pursue that avatar in all your marketing. Talk to them in your marketing as well as your conversations.

    Word of Caution

    Do not look as a leader as a lottery ticket and do not treat them like a piece of meat. You are going to attract who you are, not what you want. Be a person of value and constantly become someone that brings something to the table. One reason I enroll a lot of internet marketers is I do the things they don't want to do. I help fill the holes in their marketing presence such as helping with three way calls, offline meetings, and coaching. You bring your value to the table and focus on how you can benefit them and do things they cannot do without you, and you will start getting higher quality people into your business.

    Make it a great day

    Three Keys to Greatness

    Three Keys to Greatness by Jim Rohn

    Eight years ago I went into the studio and recorded a 56-minute video for teenagers called "Three Keys to Greatness." Although my focus was for teenagers, the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well.

    Recently I was asked to list these three keys using a couple sentences for each. Now for your benefit here they are again.

    1) Setting Goals. I call it the view of the future. Most people, including kids, will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future. So we need to help our kids see a well-defined future, so they will be motivated to pay the price today to attain the rewards of tomorrow. Goals help them do this.

    2) Personal Development. Simply making consistent investments in our self-education and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout our lives. I suggest having a minimum amount of time set aside for reading books, listening to audiocassettes, attending seminars, keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people. Charlie "Tremendous" Jones says you will be in five years the sum total of the books you read and the people you are around.

    3) Financial Planning. I call it the 70/30 plan. After receiving your paycheck or paying yourself, set aside 10 percent for saving, 10 percent for investing and 10 percent for giving, and over time this will guarantee financial independence for a teenager.

    If a young person, or for that matter an adult, focused on doing these three simple things over a long period of time I believe they will be assured success!

    —Jim Rohn

    Statins and Cardiomyopathy: Fact or Fiction?

    Here is another article I found on statins and the damage they cause. In this article the author concludes that one should be taking CoQ10 along with the statin but as you can read form some of my other blog posts I question the validity of statin use in the first place.
    Statins and Cardiomyopathy: Fact or Fiction?

    Statins and Cardiomyopathy: Fact or Fiction?

    March 27, 2011, 01:00:00PM. By Email to a friendEmail
    Washington, DC: It was a little more than a year ago that we were telling you about a concern with regard to statins and myopathy—or injury to the muscle—when taken above a certain dosage and in concert with other medications. To that point, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), on March 19 of last year, released an updated warning for myopathy and rhabdomyolysis associated with statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs that includes Zocor.

    Statins and Cardiomyopathy: Fact or Fiction? But there's another concern. It seems that statins are not all they're cracked up to be—especially in light of a potential link between statins and cardiomyopathy.

    Zocor simvastatin, for example, has been previously linked to Zocor liver damage and Zocor muscle damage. As muscles go, the heart is the most important muscle we have. And apparently, according to various people in the medical profession, statins can also have an impact on the heart muscle as well.

    Statins are used to lower levels of what is popularly known as ''bad cholesterol'' thought to have a negative impact on heart health. However, there are various positions within the medical community pertaining to statin use and their effectiveness for heart health—and not everyone is a fan.

    Peter H. Langsjoen, MD, submitted a paper to the FDA nine years ago on the relationship of statins and cardiomyopathy. In a tersely worded introduction dated July 8, 2002, Dr. Langsjoen points out that statins negatively impact levels of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an enzyme important to good heart health.

    "In my practice of 17 years in Tyler, Texas, I have seen a frightening increase in heart failure secondary to statin usage, 'statin cardiomyopathy.' Over the past five years, statins have become more potent, are being prescribed in higher doses, and are being used with reckless abandon in the elderly and in patients with 'normal' cholesterol levels," Dr. Langsjoen wrote in 2002. "We are in the midst of a CHF epidemic in the US with a dramatic increase over the past decade. Are we causing this epidemic through our zealous use of statins? In large part I think the answer is yes."

    It has been previously reported that the effectiveness of statins for heart failure patients continues to be hotly debated. Critics note that heart failure patients have largely been excluded from major, randomized clinical trails of statins. Thus, questions remain.

    Dr. Langsjoen is more blunt.

    "Statins kill people—lots of people—and they wound many, many more."

    Byron J. Richards, in a blog entry on Wellness Resources, refers to a 2007 study co-authored by Dr. Langsjoen. Richards says, "The issue of statins interfering with heart health—and the major rise in heart failure in older patients taking statins, is a problem medical people would prefer to think does not exist."

    The study, "Littarru GP, Langsjoen P. Coenzyme Q10 and statins: biochemical and clinical implications, Mitochondrion 2007'' is associated with the Institute of Biochemistry, Polytechnic University of the Marche, Via Ranieri, 60131 Ancona, Italy.

    As for Dr. Langsjoen, as part of his own peer-reviewed study in 2002 entitled, ''The clinical use of HMG CoA-reductase inhibitors (statins) and the associated depletion of the essential co-factor coenzyme Q10; a review of pertinent human and animal data''—he came up with his own black box warning for statins sold in the US. In his view, it should read…

    ''Warning: HMG CoA reductase inhibitors block the endogenous biosynthesis of an essential co-factor, coenzyme Q10, required for energy production. A deficiency of coenzyme Q 10 is associated with impairment of myocardial function, with liver dysfunction and with myopathies (including cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure). All patients taking HMG CoA reductase inhibitors should therefore be advised to take 100 to 200 mg per day of supplemental coenzyme Q10.''

    Eczema

    Just wanted to share this with you. The following information is from a drug called Protopic that is used to treat eczema. The drug suppresses the immune system. Here is the warning from the drug manufacturer:

    "Long term safety for this drug is not known at this time. There have been rare reports of cancers (eg skin cancer, lymphoma)in patients using tacrolimus. . . Further studies to determine the long-term safety of this product are ongoing. In the unlikely event that unusual lumps, swollen glands, or growths (especially on the skin) occur, contact your doctor immediately."

    Sounds like something I want to use, how about you? At $350 for 60 grams plus the doctors fees you to can be an unpaid guinea pig!

    Did you know eczema is caused by an essential fatty acid and mineral deficiency? Did the MD ever discuss supplementing with essential fatty acids BEFORE writing prescriptions for this drug or any other drug? I have found in my practice that they don't!

    Contact me, I will show you how you can support and promote better health and reduce your need for pharmaceuticals that are dangerous.

    Get Rich Quick? NOT!

    "Get Rich Quick" Never works! How to know if an opportunity is right for you.

    So how do you know if a wealth attraction opportunity is right for you? I've found there are a few key criteria you should look for in every potential opportunity.

    A good opportunity will allow you to:

    • Be your own boss. Working for others usually won't bring you the kind of real financial abundance you probably have in mind. Climbing a corporate ladder is a slow, tedious and downright frustrating process. Want to really be wealthy and free? Find a way to work for yourself.

    • Leverage your time. Trading hours for dollars only goes so far. To position yourself as an accumulator of vast amounts of wealth, you will need to leverage your time (see below).

    • Unlimited earnings potential. Earnings cannot be limited to a simple salary or a dollars-per-hour equation. They need to be theoretically unlimited so that a little bit of your time or effort is multiplied into greater results.

    • Doesn't cost a fortune to start. This is crucial for many people. Most folks don't have $50,000 or $100,000 sitting around just waiting to be invested in a business venture. They need to be able to attract wealth without spending a fortune up front. So an ideal wealth attraction opportunity would allow people to build wealth with minimal financial investments.

    • Earning money while you sleep. Ideally, any wealth attraction vehicle you pursue should have the potential to earn you money while you sleep. You simply set things in motion, and then maintain the operation using less effort. Even while you're sleeping (or on vacation or whatever), you should still be earning something. Think about revenue streams that keep flowing, much like a hillside spring that flows year-round.

    • Must be ethically and morally sound with the goal of helping others and to "do no harm." always follow the "Golden Rule," "Do Unto others as you would have others do unto you."

    • Taps into assets you already have: Attracting wealth shouldn't require you to get a new degree or spend four years learning a new skillset. You already have tremendous assets in what you know (and WHO you know) right now. A mindful wealth accumulation strategy will allow you to tap into your existing assets, allowing you to attract more wealth being who you are right now!

    So what opportunity meets these criteria?

    Four types of opportunities come to mind as possible candidates:

    Opportunity #1: Invent a health-related product (or supplement).

    This is a somewhat risky - but potentially very rewarding - business venture. If you create a new health product that catches on and gets mainstream distribution, you could end up having your product in stores across the world, earning nickels and dimes as customers buy your goods. Getting mentioned on NaturalNews can even help jumpstart your business, but you have to have a really great product to earn that placement.

    Launching a product company isn't easy. It can require a fairly large financial investment, and it's a 70-hour-a-week kind of job (at least for the first two years). If you love what you're doing, that's great, but for most people, the hours are too intense, and the outcome too uncertain. Only approach this idea if you have a truly revolutionary product idea that's an instant hit with everybody you describe it to.

    A related idea is to join a successful franchise, although the startup costs can be significant. There are still some opportunities. (Have fun managing the teenage help, though...)

    Opportunity #2: Create a book, DVD or other publishable content.

    This is easier said than done, of course, but if you do it right, this approach leverages your time and can earn you money while you sleep. Of course, most books don't sell very well. Being a successful author (or DVD creator) requires dedication and great marketing.

    If you pursue this route, my advice is to avoid working with the major book companies and, instead, self-publish books that you sell electronically. It's a LOT more profitable, and you avoid all the up-front costs associated with printing 3,000 copies of your book.

    Opportunity #3:

    Be an affiliate marketer with an internet site. This has the advantage of minimizing your investment (there's virtually none) and leveraging your time. You can earn anywhere from 4% - 25% on affiliate links to products related to your blog or website.

    The key here, of course, is attracting readers. Without real people reading your content, you won't earn anything from affiliate marketing. So becoming proficient at writing is essential for those pursuing this opportunity. You'll also need to put in 3-6 months just building an audience before you can expect any real success.

    Opportunity #4 Find success with a health-related network marketing company.

    People who are good with other people tend to do very well in network marketing companies, and the business structure leverages your time and requires very little in the way of startup costs.

    On the down side, many of the networking marketing companies I've seen are selling "junk" products made with fillers and junk juices. All those expensive, bottled liquids containing acai, mangosteen and other exotic fruits are a good example. I've looked at many of them and have only seen a handful that I can stand behind as a pharmacist.

    In all, these are the best four opportunities available today for attracting mindful wealth. Again, they are:

    • Start your own product or service company.

    • Create a book, DVD or other publishable content (and the market it).

    • Be an affiliate marketer of other people's products or services.

    • Join a mindful, quality-focused network marketing company.

    None of these are effortless.

    Everything worth having requires some effort on your part, but I aim to help you "minimize the effort required while maximizing the results you get." I personally chose option 4.

    I just spent 2 years researching many opportunities. I even advertised many of them through social media to get feedback from friends. Only 1 company stood out over all the others, in fact throughout the research process my wife kept telling me that this company is the one because she felt their products were superior.

    The company I chose is a first to market health and wellness company. With over 400 products from which to choose, there are products that people would buy anyway so it is just a matter of buying from their own online store. The compensation plan is designed so even the novice can begin earning an income.

    Don't be a statistic

    According to the Nee England Healthcare Institute (NEHI), 187 million Americans take one ore more prescription drugs, and up to one-half of those don't take them as prescribed. NEHI also estimates that $290 billion in avoidable spending is associated with non-compliant patients.

    Don't be a statistic, let me show you how to avoid medications by supporting and promoting better health.

    Truth about Cholesterol


    Truth about Cholesterol

    Every year our government and many private institutions spend billions of dollars on research, yet a great deal of this research goes unread. Even worse the information learned from these studies is often never utilized in treating and preventing human disease. Unfortunately, there are just as many, if not more, researchers and scientists working for big pharmaceutical companies. The dream of all pharmaceutical company CEO's is developing a drug that people will need to take for a lifetime in order to control their medical condition. This means the search for profit interferes with finding the truth.

    To compound this situation, most doctors never have the time to read more than a few articles in popular medical journals, and they never read studies of basic science. Because of this lack of time, medical doctors rely too much on what is told to them by pharmaceutical reps, the same reps that represent the pharmaceutical companies that are more interested in how many prescriptions of their products are sold than they are interested in healing the patient, after all a patient that is healed no longer needs their product. In defense of the medical doctors, they just do not have the time to research alternative treatment modalities; as such they think so-called alternative treatments do not work.  

    Pharmaceutical Industry Suppresses Truth

    Statin drugs are a good example of how successful the pharmaceutical companies have been. The statin class of drugs has been the biggest moneymaker in history for the pharmaceutical industry. But the medical doctors and likewise the public at large has been denied one essential bit of information: The benefits of statin cholesterol-lowering drugs are no better than taking an aspirin a day.  

    According to the pharmaceutical industry's own studies, the improvements in reducing heart attack and stroke risk is virtually the same as following an aspirin regimen.  
    In a study of two statin drugs, atrovastin and pravastatin, reported in the 2005 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine1, patients with low highly sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) levels had fewer heart attacks no matter what their LDL-cholesterol level. Furthermore they had more heart attacks if the hsCRP was elevated regardless of their LDL-Cholesterol level.  
    The same thing has been found for stroke risk. Another recent study, the Pravastatin or Atrovastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy - Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 22 (PROVE IT-TIMI 22) study, examined patients on high and moderate doses of statin drugs. This study found that in both groups, there was no difference in the cholesterol levels of those with stroke and those without. The only difference was the levels of hsCRP.  

    Few medical doctors who prescribe statin drugs know that the link between elevated cholesterol levels and strokes has never been established.

    Cholesterol Is NOT the Cause of Cardiovascular Events

    So if cholesterol is not the cause of these cardiovascular events then what is? The latest studies show that inflammation is an independent risk factor for heart disease that is much stronger than any measurement of cholesterol2. The link to inflammation is strong and is supported by many laboratory and clinical studies3

    Reported reductions in stroke risk for people taking statins has varied from no statistical reductions (as in the Treating to New Targets or TNT study) to 19 percent to 50 percent shown in the Long-term Intervention with Pravastatin in Ischemic Disease (LIPID), The Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE), and Myocardial Ischemia Reduction with Aggressive Cholesterol Lowering (MIRACL) studies. 

    Newer evidence, however, suggests that any reduction in stroke risk is due to the anti-inflammatory effects of the drugs instead of their ability to lower cholesterol.  

    Statin Drugs Lower Cholesterol and Reduce Inflammation

    So if a big pharmaceutical company can make lowering cholesterol the goal, especially a drastic decrease in cholesterol, and convince doctors that everyone even children should take them for a lifetime and then back this up with studies that show the drugs do reduce cardiovascular events then big pharmaceutical makes Billions of dollars. If on the other hand if hsCRP reduction or other measurements for inflammation are used as the guideline for reducing cardiovascular events, then there is not an exclusive product for the reduction of cardiovascular events because other treatment modalities reduce inflammation just as effectively and without the major side effects of statins. As a result big pharmaceutical company drugs would not even be given to 75 percent to 80 percent of the people because of their side effects (increase risk of dementia, cancer, confusion, immune suppression, muscle pains, weakness, and even risk of death). That is a massive loss in revenue.  

    Since the statin promoters have admitted and scientific data has backed up that inflammation, not elevated cholesterol, is the cause of atherosclerosis let us look at how this occurs and ways to reduce inflammation in our bodies (and our blood vessels) rather than using a statin drug.  

    Causes of Inflammation

    The most abundant oxidized fat in these atherosclerotic vessels is not cholesterol, it is omega-6 fat. What most people do not realize is we eat a ton of oxidized fats. Diets high in polyunsaturated fats are high in oxidized fats. Most American diets are high in Omega-6 fats; corn, safflower, sunflower, peanut, and soybean oils. Canola oil contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fats. When all of these oils are heated they all become oxidized fats. Oils are also used in prepared foods, especially baked foods. They are all high in oxidized fats.  

    These oxidized fats in the body cause an inflammation response which causes the immune system to send its immune cells to clean up the harmful fats. This response however increases the number of free radicals and lipid peroxidation products (Lapps). This increase in free radicals and Lapps then oxidize the fats in the walls of the blood vessels. These oxidized fats then trigger further inflammation responses which cause the immune system to send its immune cells to clean up the harmful fats and the cycle continues until you have atherosclerosis. 

    In addition to the Omega-6 fasts in our diets we are also exposed to tons of food additives like MSG and nitrate preservatives every year. These excitotoxins also reduce the protective antioxidant enzymes in the arteries causing inflammation. In fact researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health found that eating processed meat containing nitrates, such as bacon, sausage and deli meats, lead to a 42% higher risk of heart disease but did not find any increase risk from eating unprocessed red meats.

    Most chronic diseases and conditions are associated with chronic inflammation including:
    • Type 2 diabetes 
    •  Metabolic Syndrome 
    •  Chronic Arthritis 
    •  Autoimmune diseases 
    •  Infectious diseases 
    •  Abdominal Belly Fat 
    •  Aging
    Safer Ways

    Most doctors do not know that there are better and safer ways to reduce inflammation.
    A considerable amount of research has shown that neutraceuticals can dramatically reduce inflammation. In fact, flavonoids and vitamin combinations have been shown in atherosclerosis studies to be more effective than any statin drug. And unlike the statin drugs, they do not increase your risk of dementia, cancer, confusion, immune suppression, muscle pains, weakness, and your risk of dying. In fact, they greatly reduce this risk. 

    In one impressive study of mice that were fed inflammatory fats, curcumin, a flavonoid found in the spice turmeric, dramatically reduced the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in their arteries. The mice had been genetically programmed to develop atherosclerosis. These mice were genetically altered to remove the APE gene and the LDL receptor (they are called APE/LDL double knockout mice), which makes them so prone to atherosclerosis, they will develop extensive arterial plaques even when fed normal diets. This is the ultimate test.  

    The mice that were given curcumin, even in relatively low doses, had considerably less plaque than those given the diet alone. Most statin studies do not use this test because drug manufacturers know the statin drugs will be far less effective than the nutrients. Instead, they quote the ability of their medication to lower cholesterol levels. 

    A considerable amount of research has shown that these neutraceuticals can dramatically reduce inflammation:
    • Curcumin 
    • Quercetin 
    • Hesperidin 
    • Ellagic acid
    • Resveratrol
    • Vitamin E and vitamin C combination 
    Researchers also have shown that curcumin prevents other problems common with atherosclerosis, such as smooth muscle proliferation, activation of the inflammatory COX and LOX enzymes, and a buildup of inflammatory immune cytokines.

    For example, a recent study found that curcumin reduces the release of inflammatory cytokines.4 Another found that curcumin dramatically lowered TEN-alpha levels from macrophages, the main immune regulator cell.5 What all this means is that curcumin powerfully reduces inflammation, immune over activation, and smooth muscle overgrowth, all things responsible for the lesions causing heart attacks and strokes. 

    Resveratrol, like curcumin, also reduces the immune attack within the vessels.  
    The following also improve insulin function:
    • Curcumin 
    • Quercetin 
    • Hesperidin 
    • Ellagic acid 
    Quercetin also inhibits smooth muscle proliferation in arteries and has been shown in experimental studies to dramatically reduce atherosclerosis. 

    Hesperidin has been shown to play a major role in correcting insulin resistance. In addition, it strengthens blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and prevents blood clots, which is a major cause of sudden coronary artery blockage. Grapefruits and oranges are high in Hesperidin, and it also can be purchased as a supplement. As I stated in the last two newsletters, your diet is the foundation of your nutritional health. 

    This is also true in preventing heart attacks and strokes. A high intake of omega-6 fats and trans-fats greatly increases your risk. Omega-3 oils, such as DHA with some EPA, significantly reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In fact Omega-3 can reduce LDL and Triglycerides and increase HDL 

    Drinking fluoridated water also increases risk, because it contains high levels of fluoroaluminum, a powerful poison.
