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.

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.

Chemicals from Make Up Found in Blood Stream

Chemicals from Make Up Found in Blood Stream

16 different chemcals from make up and other personal care products are found in the blood stream of teenage girls. The average teen girl uses 17 personal care products everyday. In the study they tested for 25 different chemicals. Every girl in the study had between 11 and 16 chemicals in their bodies and levels that were extremely high!

The chemicals that were found interefer with hormone development, reproductive problems, obesity, and cancer rates. Look at the rates of these diseases in young people. The rates of premature puberty, cancer and diabetes are through the roof.
Is it possible?
How is it possible?

Doesn't the skin protect you from harm?

Think about this, drug manufactures have discovered that medications can be delivered into the blood stream, bypassing liver metabolismm by appling the drug directly to the skin by using patches and creams.

Then add this bit of information, the first thing you do in the morning is shower. The hot water of the shower opens the pores of the skin allowing even more chemicals to enter into the body. Couple this with the facct that teenage girls are exposing themselves to the chemicals from as many as 17 different products each morning and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

What can you do about it?

Would you rather use products containing harmaful chemicals on your skin?

Trends and Timing

Trends and Timing

Market Convergence With the Baby Boomers

Baby Boomers historically drive industries. Between 1946 and 1964 over 76-million babies were born in the United States. Companies such as Gerber, Johnson&Johnson and Mattel experienced incredible growth. As these babies began to age, McDonald's was founded and Levi Straus got its start. Remember the hula hoop and Schwinn bicycles? As the Boomers entered their late teens and early 20's, the "Big 3" of the American automotive industry saw their biggest growth ever!

The baby boom lasted 18 years. When the oldest Boomers were turning 18, the youngest were barely being born. They weren't in the same market then or even a decade later. However, this year the Boomers range from 35 to 53. As they start to share similar tastes, we are experiencing market convergence.

Most department stores carry cosmetics on the first floor. Why? Because they sell. As the Boomers age, experts predict the skin care market will grow roughly 300% in 10 years. An industry that is experiencing even greater growth is HEALTH CARE. As people age from 35 to 45 are they more or less concerned about their health? As they age from 45 to 55? From 65 to 75? Can you see where this market is heading? Experts predict that this market will TRIPLE IN 5 YEARS!

SPEND MONEY OR EARN IT!

Practically everyone in America will be affected by this trend. You can:
  • Sit back and do nothing while your health gradually slips away
  • Spend more to maintain good health, or
  • Take advantage of this growing trend and become more healthy while building an income stream!
Home-Based Business

Most of us know someone who would like to earn additional money and have more time freedom. Many of these people are getting involved in home-based businesses. According to D'Arcangelo, author of Wealth Starts At Home, home-based businesses are increasing 15%/year. By the year 2000 you might see up to 1 out of every 3 households involved in some form of home-based business. You can't get involved with a better home-based business than Youngevity!

Health Sales!

According to the Direct Sales Association, in 1995 total wellness product sales were $1.65 billion. By 1998 total wellness product sales were $4.15 billion (251% growth in 3 years).

Experts predict that in 5 years people will be consuming 3 times as many mineral, vitamin, and nutritional supplements as they do today. What would McDonald's do if it knew that in 5 years people are likely to be eating 3 times as many hamburgers as they do today? Similarly, knowing today that in 5 years people might be using 3 times as many mineral, vitamin, and nutritional supplements than they are today, in what industry should you position yourself?

Projections

Harvard Business School, in its course on network marketing, teaches that companies go through 3 basic phases: formation & concentration, momentum, and stability. Most network marketing companies (98%) fail during the formation & concentration phase.

The "stability" phase is where a company has everything completely ironed out and grows little by little (i.e. 10%/yr.).

The biggest growth occurs during the MOMENTUM phase - where numerous companies have grown from $50-million/year in sales to over $500-million/year in less than 2 years! During this time distributors have seen their incomes double, triple, and even grow 10-fold! So when does momentum happen? Harvard Business School predicts momentum occurs when a company is at least 18 months old (having survived formation & concentration), and has around 100,000 distributors. The rumblings of this growth are already beginning to be heard!

Position For This Growth Now

The best way to capitalize on this wave is to position yourself ahead of it and "catch the wave" of growth. This window of opportunity offers the greatest returns on your efforts. There has never been a better time to get involved than today!

The only required cost to get started with Youngevity is a $10 enrollment fee, something you may have already paid if you are a wholesale buyer. In order to get your business started right, we recommend you obtain a Business Tool Kit as soon as possible.
