For an eco-friendly Scuba Dive

October 07, 2011 - 2:02 am

I am a Scuba Enthusiast and enjoy the peace and serenity of scuba diving. The things I see happening sometimes in our lakes and oceans really bug me. I'm talking about pollution... and it's not really the food wrapper and the empty soda can that bugs me most, but come on people... do your part to keep our waters clean.

What bugs me most is that the pollution from manufacturing facilities use huge quantities of freshwater to carry away wastes of many kinds. The waste-bearing water, or effluent, is discharged into streams, lakes, or oceans, which in turn disperse the polluting substances. Plus these waste bearing fluids that get discharged are typically hot and are changing the natural environment of the water. This alone creates a problem of plants and wildlife that do not like warmer water and over-growth of plants and wildlife that do.

Another major source of water pollution concern come from our towns and municipalities. Sewage facilities do a pretty good job of cleaning bacteria, but they don't remove everything... I certainly would not drink the water that comes out of these manufacturing plants and neither should our plants and wildlife. Rain drainage is another major polluting agent because it carries such substances as highway debris... including oil and chemicals from automobile exhausts and more. I think this is a major problem up where I live, near Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York. In the summer months, beaches are constantly getting closed for water contamination concerns. I'm sure it's a combination of contaminated rain drainage systems carrying who knows what from the highway and possible some faulty residential sewer systems.

Of course... there is a lot of pollution from natural disasters too and there is really nothing we can do about that. When Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Floods, Fires and more occur... the only thing we can do is help out and get it cleaned up as fast as possible.

You know what they say - if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem! This is what interest me in using organic and biodegradable products in my home. I recently started using the Shaklee Get Clean products after a friend introduced them to me. Shaklee is an amazing company and they are doing their part to keep the world clean. Shaklee Get Clean Household Cleaning Products offer Safe, Powerful, Green & Smart� concentrated, nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning that use less packaging and less product than other conventional cleaners. No harmful toxins like chlorine, ammonia, phosphates and formaldehyde are found in Shaklee Products. Get Clean is powered by natural enzymes and sustainably-derived ingredients, and are never tested on animals.

The environmental movement

Dr. Forrest Shaklee founded the company on the principle of Living in Harmony with Nature. That was over half a century ago, and Shaklee continues to lead by example. Last year... through the sale of Shaklee Get Clean Basic H2 alone, Shaklee has eliminated 2.7 billion bottles of conventional 26-ounce window cleaner... if you placed these bottles end-to-end, they would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!

From explorer Jacques Cousteau, to 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Wangari Maathai, Shaklee continues to join forces with people who care about the planet enough to create movements of change. In the last year alone, we have recycled over 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard, eliminated over 10,200,000 pounds of packaging waste, and eliminated over 23,000,000 pounds of greenhouse gases. That�s how committed we are to making truly sustainable natural products that respect the earth.

Shaklee Leads the Environmental Movement by Example

Shaklee becomes the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral� certified to totally offset its greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment.
Shaklee has planted nearly 800,000 trees for its Million Trees. Million Dreams.� campaign in partnership with The Green Belt Movement, founded by 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai.
In the last year alone, Shaklee has:
- Recycled over 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard
- Eliminated 10,200,000 pounds of packaging waste
- Eliminated 23,000,000 pounds of greenhouse gases
Shaklee is the recipient of many prestigious environmental awards:
- 2008: The Stevie Award for Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program
- 2007: Global Green USA�s Organizational Design Award
- 2003: National Environmental Excellence Award from National Association of Environmental Professionals
- 2002: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Climate Protection Award
- 2001: Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Awards�Certificate of Recognition�from the California Environmental Protection Agency

For over 50 years, generations of families have counted on us to do what no other company can do quite like Shaklee�make products that are naturally safe AND proven effective.

The mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone. Shaklee does this by making natural products that are so exceptional, you just have to tell your friends. Every Shaklee Product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet.

When you pick Shaklee Products, you will know three things to be true. It is always safe. It always works. And it is always green.

Do your part today... volunteer with organizations that work on keeping our oceans and eco-system safe and healthy. No matter where your Scuba Spots may be in this world... we need YOU to be part of the solution.

Best Shaklee Products for Cancer

July 06, 2011 - 10:15 pm

CANCER GUARD PROGRAM

You may or may not know that I'm a Cancer Survivor. Back in 1996, I battled Sinus Cancer for nearly 4 years. I did everything the doctors told me to do like radiation, chemo, surgery and more, but I also did many alternative things on my own as well, because I was determined to do whatever I could to beat cancer. I was once told by a doctor that specialized in natural healing, that if you feed your body the right nutrition, it can heal itself. I researched many nutrition products and searched many health stores for all kinds of products that would not only help prevent cancer, but get my body back in shape after heavy doses of chemotherapy and radiation. I didn't even know about Shaklee back when I had cancer, but had I known... I would have discovered that Shaklee offers many of the same products I searched for in Health Food Stores.

Shaklee is top-of-the-line and offers top-quality, live supplements that are tested and proven to work, plus Shaklee is the #1 nutrition company in the USA. I was also told many times by my parents as I grew up... "You Get What You Pay For". Now I don't think Shaklee Products are over-priced, but I know you can find cheaper versions of supplements at stores like Walmart and Walgreens... the question is: Do you just want to take cheap Vitamins and Supplements or Do you want to take Quality Vitamins and Supplements? When it comes to something like cancer, I'm praying that you chose quality, because when it comes to your health... saving a few dollars is NOT worth the risk.

I am blessed to be here today writing my story on this blog and being cancer free for 12 years. There were many days during my cancer battle that I didn't even think I would see the year 2000. Cancer for me was a blessing... yes a blessing. Hard to believe anyone would say something so absurd, but I used to be a work-a-holic and the most important thing to me was my job, along with the stress, on-the-go breakfast, lunch and dinners, plus a wife and children I barely even saw. Cancer was a wake-up call for me and things are looked at much differently today... and most importantly for me, is the fact that I now can help other cancer patients and cancer survivors live a longer and happier life too.

Optimal nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of cancer and many of us don't eat the way we should on a daily basis. That's why the CANCERGUARD PROGRAM (below) makes good sense.

USE THE SHAKLEE NUTRITION BEST-SELLERS SYSTEM - the following nutrients are in the daily Vitalizer strips & Shaklee's Soy Protein

Vita-Lea - Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone. A well balanced multivitamin/multimineral supplement is nutrition insurance for what we don't get from our diet.

Energizing Soy Protein - Because soy protein has been shown to lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer - AND - it boosts energy levels and helps prevent osteoporosis.

B-Complex - Because adequate intake of B vitamins may decrease the risk of cervical cancer -AND - most of us don't get all the B vitamins we need from our diet.

Sustained Release Vita-C - Because Vitamin C can help prevent the formation of nitrosamines and dangerous free radicals that can cause cancer -AND- many of us do not get enough vitamin C from our diet.

Vita-E Plus - Because both vitamin E and selenium are natural
antioxidants which help protect us from some of the cancer causing oxidations that occur in our bodies -AND- most of us don't get enough of these essential nutrients from our diet.

CarotoMax - Because CarotoMax contains the essential phytonutrients found in those fresh fruits and vegetable that we are not eating on a regular basis - AND - the phytonutrients in CarotoMax have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and eye disease.

Optiflora - Because friendly bacteria reduce the risk of colon cancer, strengthen our immune system, and produce substances that lower serum cholesterol levels- AND - most of us don't have enough of the "friendly" bacteria in our intestines

EPA - Because studies have shown that replacing the fats in the typical American diet with healthier fats such as EPA can reduce cancer risk - AND - most of us don't get enough cold water fish in our diet.

CorEnergy - Because most of us have too much stress in our
lives ... AND... we need the increased energy that CorEnergy provides.

DO YOU NEED THE CANCERGUARD PROGRAM?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

Do you often use convenience foods or eat at fast food restaurants because of cost, convenience, or lack of time? YES or NO
Do you often use "artificial" or "imitation" food products because they are low in cholesterol or fat? YES or NO - If your answer to either of these questions was YES, you would likely benefit from the nutrition insurance of Shaklee's Vita-Lea.
Are you able to consistently maintain adequate protein intake AND get more than half of your protein from vegetable sources? YES or NO - if not, you may wish to consider Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein in place of some of the animal protein in your diet.
Do you consume at least 2 - 4 servings of fruits every day? YES or NO - If not, you're probably not getting the vitamin C you
need AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.
Are you consuming 3-5 servings of fresh vegetables and 6-11 servings of whole grains each day? YES or NO - If not, you may wish to consider the added insurance of Shaklee's Fiber Plan products and B Complex AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.
Do you eat cold-pressed vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts, and whole grain products on a daily basis? YES or NO - If not, you're probably not getting the vitamin E you need.
Do you eat one serving of "cold water" fish (mackerel, cod, salmon, sardines, or anchovies) at least every other day? YES or NO - If not, then Shaklee's OmegaGuard can provide the essential fatty acids you're lacking in your diet.

Top Twelve Shaklee Products for Cancer Patients

Alfalfa - Cancer WILL NOT GROW or METASIZE in an alkaline body. Most American�s ph is very acid. Using 30 to 40 Shaklee Alfalfa per day can help the body's PH become more alkaline--slowly, and/or stopping cancer growth.
NutriFeron � This product is unique to Shaklee. It increases the natural interferon the body can produce. Synthetic interferon is a powerful, but expensive cancer treatment (with some not too nice side effects). Interferon stops tumor production in the body. We have incredible testimonies on its effect for Hepatitis C, and 4 clinical studies on this one product. It is a long-term stimulant for increasing macrophage (big eater) production�important protector cells in the immune system
Immunity I�This is a T-Cell (cells in immune system�T-Helper, T-Killer, T-suppressor & B- Cell) nutrient boost for these important cells. When fighting disease you want many of these cells reproducing�and doing their job really well.
Liver DTX � This product works to cleanse, stimulate and regenerate the liver cells when necessary. Since the liver cleanses the blood, when disease is present in order for it not to spread, you need a liver that is working at peek performance. And when drugs like chemo are administered, the LIVER takes the biggest hit. Many cancer patients never die from the cancer, but from the effect of the chemo on the liver.
Optiflora - this is a two-part product�pre-biotic & pro-biotic. It contains the only guaranteed, live delivery of healthy intestinal flora, the bacteria�s�bifidus & acidophilus. This is the body�s first line of defense and when in a diseased state, the body is normally wiped out of these wonderful soldiers�especially when antibiotics and chemo are administered. The statement "Most disease begins in the colon" is so true.
Carotomax � This is a complex of carotenoids. including Beta Carotene, Lycopene etc. The mucosal membrane tissue in the body (which is what much of the lung tissue is) needs lots of the carotenoids. They can actually heal damaged tissue. I�ve worked with people with ulcers, damaged tissue in the mucosal membrane lining of the stomach & with people who had vaginal tissue (mucosal membrane) that was showing precancerous cells�when therapeutic levels of Caratomax (10 per day) was introduced�amazing healing happened to the cells.
Flavomax - this is a powerful antioxidant product which will fight free radicals. It contains six key classes of flavonoids: proanthocyanidins, anthocyan-idins, flavan-3-ols, flavones, flavonols, and flavanones. Shaklee uses standardized extracts of each of these flavonoids to ensure potency and quality. Flavonoids are potent, water-soluble antioxidants that have been linked to healthy blood circulation, strong capillaries, and veins. Flavonoids also deliver anti-oxidant protection to blood and blood-rich tissues, such as the liver and the intestines. Unfortunately, few diets provide these important phytonutrients in significant quantities, since flavonoids are often found in seeds, rinds, and skins, parts of fruits and vegetables that are likely to be tossed away during food preparation. Many people dislike eating the skins of fruits and vegetables.
Vita C � Mega amounts of vitamin C 10,000 or more milligrams per day�has been shown via the Linus Pauling Clinic to have dramatic effects when the body is fighting disease. It stimulates white blood cell production and the cells of the body that have extra C have a greater chance of reproducing without mutating. Cancer is simply our own cells gone hay wire when reproducing.
Soy Protein � Eliminating animal protein is important and using vegetable proteins are more easily digested and they don�t have all the antibiotic residues etc. that contribute to disease! Protein is the key to energy and the reproduction of healthy cells.
EZ Gest � Digestion takes a lot of energy from a body�using digestive enzymes can help this process use less energy so more goes into fighting and healing and actually helps break down foods better so more nutrients are bio available to the cells.
Herb Lax � Drugs effect the peristaltic action of the colon. (the natural kneading movement) drugs slow the elimination process way down and many times a patient fighting disease gets backed up and constipated. Eliminating toxicity is very important in healing.
Performance�Hydration drinks. Even being 1% dehydrated for a person that is not fighting a disease effects, mental ability, and fatigue levels. When you are fighting, you must stay hydrated�lots of purified water, but adding this formulation�you are adding trace minerals that are very important for healing.
Bonus Product � Get Clean � the cleaners in the home have proven to contribute to many debilitating illnesses including cancer. Remove all toxic cleaners and switch to Get Clean to give your home a clean bill of health and protect your health.

RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY

Recovery from Surgery: Use 4 to 6 weeks after surgery and then only as needed:
1. Hydration & Electrolyte Replacement PERFORMANCE (Orange or Lemon-Lime) Before Surgery and immediately after therapy
2. Muscle Recovery PHYSIQUE - with Bio-Build Rebuilds torn muscle tissue
3. Wound Healing ZINC
4. Cartilage Rebuilding JOINT HEALTH COMPLEX
5. Natural Sleeping SLEEP COMPLEX (only if necessary)
6. OsteoMatrix � magnesium supplement extremely important to replenish helps with muscle healing�important after surgery or chemo.

DETOXIFYING FROM CHEMO & RADIATION (Use for 4 months)

LIVER DTX - Milk Thistle regenerates the liver**
ALFALFA - Natural body deodorizer
HERB LAX - Blood and colon cleanser
FIBER - removes toxins from the system
STOMACH SOOTHING COMPLEX - helps restore proper digestion - also helps with nausea
OPTI-FLORA - brings intestinal bacteria back to normal
GET CLEAN WATER - purified water prevents more toxins from getting into the system and flushes entire system

PREVENTING CANCER REOCCURRENCE (use every day)

SOY ENERGIZING PROTEIN � In testing the isoflavones in soy have shown some great results to prevent cancer cells from forming Estrogenic and anti proliferative properties of genistein and other flavonoids in human breast cancer cells in vitro Nutrition and Cancer.
ANTIOXIDANTS
- Vitamin E Plus
- Carotomax
- Flavomax
- Vitamin C prevents new free radical damage
B-COMPLEX & STRESS RELIEF COMPLEX - Stress Reliever
GLA - Essential fatty acids help control excess surges of hormones

REBUILDING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM (Use 2 to 4 months)

Shaklee Defend & Resist � 10 days on 3 days off �short term immune system builder
Garlic � natural anti bacterial, antiviral, anti fungal that will help fight off bugs that are attacking you while your immune system is rebuilding.
Immunity I � nutrient formula specific for the B-Cells, T-Cells, Macrophage Cells
Nutriferon � BALANCES immune system, increases Macrophage production, and stimulates

This information is for educational purposes only. Because of cancer treatments, white blood cells and t-cells are affected greatly. They need to be rebuilt as soon as possible!

Shaklee Cinch Testimony

June 28, 2011 - 5:34 am

�The best results come from just plugging along and never giving up." Amanda says.

Amanda � 65 pounds lighter*

My father passed away suddenly, and my way of coping with the grief was to comfort myself with food. I ate poorly, stopped exercising, and gained 60 pounds. It took some time to work through that emotional experience and re-focus on my health. When I did, I turned to Shaklee products to help me get back on track.

My grandparents have been Shaklee Distributors for over 45 years, so I trust Shaklee and I knew the Cinch� Plan would work. First, I concentrated on establishing a healthy eating and exercise routine, and conquering some of my emotional food cravings. Then I added Cinch products into the mix. I lost 65 pounds and 16 inches.* I still miss my dad, but I don't miss the extra weight. Life feels �lighter� and less bogged down�both physically and emotionally.

My advice to someone who would like to lose weight is simple: stay consistent. Consistency is the key to creating momentum toward your goal. Fast "fad" ways of dieting to reach a goal are not the healthiest, and they take a toll on your body. On the other hand, if you don't commit and keep �putting it off until tomorrow,� you stay stuck. The best results come from just plugging along and never giving up. So instead of holding on to only the big, successful moments that seem few and far between, I celebrate small triumphs every day. Simple things, like remembering to take the time to enjoy a cup of Cinch Energy Tea Mix every afternoon are a reason to celebrate!

I still use Cinch products to help me maintain my weight�and because I love the healthy satisfaction and delicious flavors. Thank you to Shaklee for always coming through for me with your quality, to my grandparents for leading the way, and to Cinch for making this particular journey possible!

*Results not typical. In a preliminary study of the Cinch Inch Loss Plan, participants on average lost 15.4 pounds and 6.6 inches over 12 weeks.

Home Remedies to Relieve Joint Pain and Arthritis

June 22, 2011 - 12:45 am

If you suffer from arthritis, you know how desperate you can get for relief. You may feel you have nothing to lose by trying an alleged cure. After all, your own doctor may not be able to offer much relief, and what medicines there are -- primarily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids -- have limited benefits and may cause some unpleasant side effects, as well.

Arthritis is unpredictable, with natural flare-ups and remissions. This, of course, makes it very difficult for patients to know for sure if any improvement is the result of a specific treatment or just a normal remission. Arthritis is a natural for the placebo effect, when the patient's expectation that a treatment will work can actually result in improvement.

I have read about raisins soaked in gin for arthritis pain, but have hesitated because of the gin. Recently I just learned about another remedy that sounds interesting. It seemed to work so well for the person who shared this remedy, that I thought you might like to read about it as well.

Mix about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of hot water, then add 2 tablespoons of honey to it. Once it is cool enough, drink it. Do this daily for 2 weeks.

After I tried this, I was able to wear regular shoes comfortably for the first time in months. Before, I was limited to backless shoes. My ankle has not felt this good in over a year!

I never heard of this approach before, but hey, it may be worth a shot... honey and cinnamon are not anything to cause any health concerns in my opinion.

Another natural approach would be quality supplements. Here are some supplements that have helped many people with Arthritis and Joint Pain:

Pain Reief Complex - Nature's Answer to Discomfort Caused By Overexertion. Discover natural relief for discomfort caused by overexertion. Patented Shaklee Pain Relief Complex features a blend of clinically proven boswellia and safflower extracts. Provides help for overworked joints, often within weeks of continued use. Safe, natural, and easy on the stomach.
Joint Health Complex - Puts the Spring Back in your Step. Shaklee Joint Health Complex improves the cushioning in joints for more comfortable movement, flexibility, and range of motion. Plus, the complementary blend of glucosamine, cat�s claw, and specific trace minerals supports overall joint function, enhances mobility by supporting joint lubrication, and helps your body build cartilage.
Joint & Muscle Pain Cream - Paraben free. This soothing joint and muscle pain relief cream distinguished itself in two ways: it's applied where it hurts, and it works in minutes. Shaklee's new Joint & Muscle Pain Cream provides temporary relief from minor joint and muscle pain, including arthritis pain, back aches, sports injuries, sore muscles, and more. It is so fast, soothing, and effective, you'll want one for your medicine cabinet, purse, and gym bag, too! This non-greasy, fast-absorbing, deeply penetrating, topical cream soothes in minutes.

Shaklee has created a Special Earth Day Healthy Home Kit

For more than 50 years, Shaklee has set an example of how to be green, each and every day and in virtually every way. Shaklee tried to set a model of how to be a leader and sustainability.

Shaklee started by creating products... products that were natural, non-toxic, biodegradable, green healthy cleaners for your home. Then Shaklee became the first company to eliminate phosphates from dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. And they did that because it was the right thing to do.

Shaklee also created these products to save people money, save our planet, save our environment, and also created a business opportunity for people to share these wonderful products with others.

Shaklee is the first company in the entire world to be Climate Neutral Certified and fully offset their carbon emissions to leave no footprints on the earth. Shaklee has recently engaged in a tree planting campaign, where they planted over a million trees in North America.

Today Shaklee is doing something really exciting...

Although it's crucial that people realize how important it is to help our planet and help our environment be healthier, greener and happy... Shaklee wants to address you and your home. This month, Shaklee wants to create 50,000 new healthier, cleaner, safer homes, so that you can live healthier happier lives for you and your family.

Shaklee is asking you to start the movement to a Healthy Home by simply buying a Special Earth Day Healthy Home Kit and then telling two or three of your friends to do the same.

The ripple effect of You making your home cleaner, healthier and safer... then inviting your friends and family to do the same will eventually grow to a neighborhood, a community, statewide, countrywide and eventually worldwide. That's Shaklee's vision, but it all starts with YOU... one house at a time, living toxic free, saving money, saving our planet, and creating a healthier environment for yourself and your family. I feel this is something everybody can do.

How can you have a nutritious meal in no time that tastes great and will help you reach your weight loss goal?

In other words, the leucine in Cinch Meal-in-a-Bar helps you keep muscle so you lose fat.

The morning meal doesn't have to be all about traditional breakfast items. You can mix it up to include different foods, even the leftovers from last night's dinner, and still provide the nutrients and energy kids need for the day.

Try to serve a balanced breakfast that includes some carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Carbs are a good source of immediate energy for the body. Energy from protein tends to kick in after the carbs are used up. Fiber helps provide a feeling of fullness and, therefore, discourages overeating. And when combined with adequate liquid consumption, fiber helps move food through the digestive system, preventing constipation and lowering cholesterol.

Good sources of these nutrients include:

carbohydrates: whole-grain cereals, brown rice, whole-grain breads and muffins, fruits, vegetables
protein: low-fat or nonfat dairy products, lean meats, eggs, nuts (including nut butters), seeds, and cooked dried beans
fiber: whole-grain breads, waffles, and cereals; brown rice, bran, and other grains; fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts

Here are some ideas for healthy breakfasts to try:

whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and a cup of yogurt
whole-grain waffles topped with peanut butter, fruit, or ricotta cheese
whole-wheat pita stuffed with sliced hard-cooked eggs
hot cereal topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or cloves
peanut butter on a whole-grain bagel with fresh fruit (banana or apple wedges) and low-fat milk
breakfast smoothie (low-fat milk or yogurt, fruit, and teaspoon of bran, whirled in a blender)
vegetable omelet with whole-wheat toast and orange juice
bran muffin and yogurt with berries
hummus on whole-wheat pita and milk
lean turkey on a toasted English muffin and vegetable juice
heated leftover rice with chopped apples, nuts, and cinnamon, plus fruit juice
low-fat cream cheese and fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, on whole-grain bread or a whole-grain bagel
shredded cheese on a whole-wheat tortilla, folded in half and microwaved for 20 seconds and topped with salsa

And don't forget how important your good example is. Let your kids see you making time to enjoy breakfast every day. Even if you just wash down some whole-wheat toast and a banana with a glass of juice or milk, you're showing how important it is to face the day only after refueling your brain and body with a healthy morning meal.

"Lower Cholesterol Naturally" with Shaklee Cholesterol

January 09, 2011 - 3:56 am

NEW! Cholesterol Reduction Complex

Lowers Cholesterol Naturally

Cholesterol Reduction Complex is a proprietary formula with clinically proven ingredients that help prevent absorption of cholesterol and lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol. It is made with a powerful blend of sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Products providing 800 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily, consumed with two different meals as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol Reduction Complex provides 1,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols per serving, and 2,000 mg daily when used as directed.

Cholesterol Reduction Complex is a proprietary formulation with clinically proven ingredients that help prevent the absorption of cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol.

Made with a powerful blend of sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains
Delivers 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily
Plant sterols and stanols have been clinically proven by more than 80 studies to lower LDL cholesterol
Delivers daily 100% of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) recommendation for plant sterols and stanols*
Gluten free
Star-K Kosher certified

Sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains, have been shown in numerous studies to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

So how exactly do plant sterols and stanols work?

Plant sterols and stanols are ingested from food or supplements.
Because they are structurally similar to cholesterol, plant sterols and stanols compete for absorption in the intestines.
Plant sterols and stanols bind to receptors in the intestines, leaving cholesterol behind.
The net result is that less cholesterol is absorbed by the body, and less ends up in the blood stream.

Brad Lamm, author of "Just 10 LBS" talks about Cinch Diet

January 09, 2011 - 3:11 am

Cinch Diet has a great new fan/author/educator, Brad Lamm, who loves Cinch and has mentioned Cinch in his new book "Just 10 LBS": Easy Steps to Weighing What You Want (Finally!), which provides the motivation to take control of your weight by taking the first step, the first 10 pounds.

I haven't read the whole book personally yet... but a copy of the book was at our Shaklee 2011 Kickoff Meeting in Buffalo, NY today and a got to get a sneak peek. There is mention of Cinch at least a couple times and Brad mentioned he always carries a Cinch Bar with him everywhere he goes.

Brad is a regular contributor to The Dr. Oz Show and will be sharing his new book and Cinch on The Dr. Oz Show in January... and from what I heard, he does mention the Cinch products on the air... How Exciting is that for Shaklee and the 1000's of Shaklee Distributors you can purchase Cinch Products from?

Just 10 LBS, intervention specialist Bradd Lamm brings a fresh eye to weight loss, focusing not on the what of eating, but on the how? and why? and when! As a companion piece to The Dr. Oz Show's major, year-long initiative to change the health of America, this book discards the notion of overhauling life with the dream of being thin and challenges the reader to focus on starting by losing just 10 pounds.

Brad can be found on the "Intervening on America's Fattest Cities to Live Lighter" book tour starting January 10, 2011 in Corpus Christi, TX which is #1 on the list of America's fattest cities. Scott Lamm, brother of Brad and follower of the JUST 10 plan, lost nearly 100 pounds and will be along for the tour to talk about his experience.

Just 10 LBS Review

In Just 10 LBS, intervention specialist Brad Lamm brings a fresh eye to weight loss, focusing not on the what of eating, but on the how and why. As a companion piece to The Dr. Oz Show�s major, year-long initiative to change the health of America, this book discards the notion of overhauling life with the vague dream of being thin and challengesthe reader to focus on losing just 10 pounds.

What Lamm understands is that managing weight isn�t just about doing crunches, running miles, or cutting calories; in fact, one of the most powerful parts of success is generally overlooked�a healthy relationship with oneself is key to any weight-loss program. In Just 10 LBS, Lamm outlines ten easy steps to help readers heal their relationship with themselves and thus change their relationship with food, breaking destructive cycles of disordered and unhealthy eating.

Covering everything from body image to restrictive beliefs to developing a quiet, focusing daily practice, Lamm discusses all aspects of the emotional and self-esteem issues surrounding weight and food. And he puts them together into a 10-step program that begins with identifying your eating style�emotional eater, pleasure eater, energy eater, external eater, or critical eater�and ends with a discussion on the importance of �paying it forward,� or giving back the gifts you�ve gotten. Also included is an action-oriented 30-day plan to help readers get a jump start on their weight-loss efforts.

The effective, easy-to-follow steps in Just 10 LBS will help readers reclaim their power over food; open emotional blockages that clutter their lives; and create a lifestyle that emphasizes the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirit.

About Brad Lamm

Brad Lamm is a board-registered interventionist, and the founder and president of Intervention Specialists, a family-education and crisis-intervention group that helps family and friends get loved ones to accept help and begin lasting change.

He believes that an identified loved one�s support group is uniquely poised to offer support, accountability, and structure from a beginning point of love and honesty�no matter how broken-down, discouraged, or troubled they feel.

Highly motivated and with long-term sobriety himself, Brad�s approach is nononsense and understandable, blending hope with the dynamic nature of his distinctly hands-on work.

Lamm is a regular contributing expert on The Doctor Oz Show, and a consulting producer for an upcoming show on The Oprah Winfrey Network. He hosts a weekly radio show on Hay House Radio and is the author of How to Change Someone You Love: Four Steps to Help You Help Them.

January 09, 2011 - 2:48 am

There has been a lot of talk about "Cinch" or the "Cinch Diet" recently. You see Cinch Diet on the Top 10 List of AOL Trends or the Trending Now List.

Who is Brad Lamm?

If anyone needed change, it was Brad. He was a binge eater, bulimic, crystal meth addicted, alcoholic, chain smoking, prescription drug addicted bundle of sickness and sadness and was literally at the end of his rope. But the good news, Brad did get better. He recovered, and had a shift in spirit that allowed him to walk free and help others navigate the road to change!

What a blessed life it is. Hooked no more, except maybe on the helping others part of his life.

Brad Lamm is a Board-Registered Interventionist and built a vibrant private practice unlike any other in the world. He has helped folks get better and heal in my private and public life with food struggles, weight wars, chemical dependency and alcoholism.

Brad has worked with thousands of people, including some for The Dr. Oz Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show. And now the proudest moment of his life... he is author of: JUST 10 LBS: Easy Steps to Weighing What You Want (Finally). It's the culmination of years of learning how to best help friends, family and clients re-frame their need to feed. JUST 10 is your handbook to change what you eat, clean house emotionally and spiritually and step back into life, lighter.

Whether you're a mom, a daughter, a sister, a brother, a husband or a friend - the time is right now to step into life-affirming, self-loving change.

Take the JUST 10 Pledge with me. Who is ready to take the JUST 10 Pledge today? Say it out loud right now: "ME!"

Dr Oz said that whenever you feel Stress Eating, move instead. You do not need to join a gym, you can do something called Moving Meditations which is a no weight workout. Doing the dishes for example gets your body moving. Brad Lamm also showed how you can put three tennis balls in a sock and massage your back with it by lying on the floor and rolling over the balls with your back.

Dr Oz: Secrets to Avoid Stress Eating � Find a Diet Partner or Stress Buddy

Brad Lamm�s brother, Scott Lamm, lost 100 pounds with Brad as his Stress Buddy... so go find somebody who will walk with you everyday or that you can call and talk you when you have that urge to eat something. Scott Lamm will be touring along with Brad as he goes around the country promoting his new book and talking about how he lost 100 pounds by simply using Brad's Just 10 lbs principles.

Weight Gain | Stomach Gas | Bloating

January 05, 2011 - 12:37 am

�You�ve SHRUNK� from a size 8 to a size 2 in one month!

�You�ve SHRUNK!� Elizabeth Yarnell's mother exclaimed when her daughter returned from a month-long trip overseas transformed from a size 8 to a size 2.

Yarnell was almost as surprised as her mom. She hadn't made the slightest change to her diet or exercise habits. The only thing she had done differently was start taking a digestive enzyme supplement... one capsule with each meal, two if the meal contained dairy.

"But the weight loss was only a bonus. The enzyme supplement stopped the cramps, bloating, and gas I used to get after meals and I feel more energetic and happier. I've even managed to avoid the illnesses brought home by my two preschoolers and school teacher husband."

Yarnell, who has multiple sclerosis (MS), says that digestive enzymes are an important part of the healthy diet that helps her manage her disease. "My mother started taking enzymes after she saw what was happening to me, and other people in my life are giving it a try, too," she says.

WHAT TO BUY: Shaklee EZ-Gest a full-spectrum digestive enzyme formula contains lactase, alpha galactosidase, protease, amylase, and lipase. Each enzyme helps break down a specific type of food.

EZ GEST

Optimize Digestion

Digestive upsets can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. They also may limit food choices unnecessarily. EZ-Gest offers as-needed relief from incomplete digestion of foods.* Unlike popular single-function digestive aids, the EZ-Gest multi-enzyme formulation offers comprehensive digestive support.*

� Supports complete digestion of fat, protein, and carbohydrates* � Contains enzymes like those found in Lactaid� and Beano�*** � Alleviates discomfort such as gas and bloating* � Helps digest �problem foods� including dairy and gas-producing vegetables such as beans and broccoli, proteins, starchy carbohydrates, and fats* � Now in a vegetarian capsule

Directions: 1 capsule before meal, or as needed, as a digestive aid. If pregnant, nursing, or galactosemic, ask a healthcare professional.

Pop That Zit

January 04, 2011 - 12:52 pm

How to Pop a Zit

Would you like to learn how to pop a zit properly? Well I'll tell you how to minimize the damage as much as possible if you decide to pop a pimple.

I usually recommend not popping zits at all, because of the risk of scarring and infection. I also understand people will still pop a zit now and then, like when you get one smack dab in the middle of your forehead. Just don't let it turn into a habit.

Please only try to pop zits (ex. pustules) with a ripe whitehead. I'm talking about the ones that will practically break on their own by accident after a shower/shaving etc.

How to Pop a Zit

Cleanse Your Face - Wash your face thoroughly, or at least the area with the pimple. Using a high-quality cleanser is best. Rinse with warm water to make your skin as supple as possible, which will make it easier for the skin to break. Exfoliating the skin with salicylic acid or an equivalent is an optional step that will also help break the skin and may make using a needle unnecessary.
Get a Sterilized Needle - Grab a sewing needle or a pin and get it sterilized. You can do this by dipping it in alcohol, running it over an open flame, or boiling it in water (give it some time to cool off obviously).
Prepare Your Hands - Either wash your hands thoroughly or have your two index fingers wrapped in tissue paper. The goal here is to protect the skin on your face from the dirt and bacteria on your fingers, as well as potential irritation from your fingernails.
Pop the Pimple - Gently poke the zit with the needle so the skin breaks. Press your two index fingers on your skin, on opposite sides of the zit. Push your fingers together gently while trying to get "under" the zit. You may need to do this a few times to get as much of the pus as you can. Also, you want to try and minimize any bacteria/pus/sebum from going deeper into the skin.
Clean the Pore - You now want to clean the pore of any extra bacteria. Gently press a tissue on the pore to soak up the extra oil. If there is blood this generally means you were too harsh on your zit with the procedure. Use hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, lemon juice, or your favorite mask/spot treatment to assist with cleaning the pore to let it heal as quickly as possible.

These steps are only on how to pop a zit. If you have a nodule or cyst do not try to pop it, you will only make things worse. By following this process you will minimize your chances of any scarring, infection, as well as the healing time.

Lady Doctor Gets Death Threats for Revealing TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret to General Public!

January 04, 2011 - 12:57 am

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life!

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered -- and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she's marching to the beat of a different drum.

And no, nothing about her "secret" is difficult -- nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.

Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results."

This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity -- and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites -- and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons -- only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn't nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight).

So powerful is her secret that she's able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by "conventional doctors" that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a "normal" existence -- yet after applying Dr Suzanne's treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors' prognoses.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.

In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature 'protection agents' scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants -- but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world's worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it -- or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

Now to everyone else's great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity's stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.

But she's not promising any of us for how long.

Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever "truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK."

It is currently available at:

=> Weight Loss Review

...so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or "something" gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.

It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?

"Migraines" Shaklee VIVIX for Natural Migraine Relief

January 03, 2011 - 9:15 am

My name is Gayle McBurney, and thanks to VIVIX... I have my life back. All my life I have had migraines. I never knew when they would happen, but when they did my day was gone � days too numerous to mention curled up in bed with the curtains drawn (the darker the better), no radio and no noise of any kind, a bucket beside my bed, and a cold compress to help ease the pain. The next day, when my migraine finally subsided I felt like I had been hit by a truck. My head would still hurt where the pain was.

I visited my family doctor to see if she could help me so I could function, as the headaches were starting to interfere with my job. She gave me a prescription for medication that, if I didn�t have a drug plan, I would not be able to afford. The medication helped my headaches, providing I took them at the onset of a migraine. Needless to say, I carried the medication with me everywhere I went.

My brother introduced me to Shaklee VIVIX and I started taking it on a regular basis, not knowing that it would affect my life in such a dramatic way. I have not had a headache or a migraine in over three months. I can�t even begin to tell you what life is like without a headache� something I have never experienced before, and it�s great!�

"Thank you VIVIX, thank you Shaklee, and thank you brother!"

A Personal Testimony

My Enfuselle Experience from Liz...

I began using skin care and make-up when I was 15 years old. I would spend an hour in the bathroom, looking at a magazine studying make-up techniques and applying my makeup all different ways. I thought I did a pretty good job on the eye makeup especially.

When I was 20 years old, I was approached by a woman who let me know that it was obvious that I was putting blush on my face without the use of foundation and that it did not look good. Hmmm... A few weeks later, I was approached by another woman who asked if I would like to have a makeover. I figured I better since apparently I had some things to learn.

She showed me a skin care and make up line, and while she worked with me, she gave me many more tips. I decided to not only use this system, but to start to sell it. I sold it and/or used it for 18 years. The main point in using the skin care for me was that I would be protecting my skin and looking good along the way with the use of the make-up.

When I was introduced to Shaklee products in 2000, I was told about the Enfuselle Skin Care line. I was definitely not interested. I had the stuff that I loved and was very loyal to it. However, when I decided to build a business in 2001, it was suggested that I might want to give my opinion about the skin care line. I knew what my opinion was going to be. I was NOT going to like that Shaklee stuff. But, I decided to test their stuff so that I could give a fact-based opinion.

I decided to do half my face. I gave the left side to Enfuselle. This was my worst side because it was always in the sun when I drove. I got the entire skin care system. I continued using MY product line on the right side. And, so the experiment began. I only used the products that were similar so that I could get a fair summary of any changes.

In 2 days, I noticed a difference on the left side. I was surprised because the crow�s feet started to smooth out. I could not help but think that the C&E PM was an amazing nighttime moisturizer.

30 days later I could see that there was a definite difference in the quality of the skin on the left hand side. But now, I was really mad! I did NOT want that Shaklee stuff to win!! I knew that there were skin care lines which worked for 8-10 weeks and then stop working. So, I decided that I would continue my experiment until three months had passed.

After 3 months, I conceded defeat. The left side looked really good. The right side had not changed one bit. I was afraid I was going to start looking like a stroke victim because the left side was so much better looking and healthier looking. The right side was saggy looking and definitely had wrinkles. The Shaklee skin care system had officially beaten my stuff!

About 6-9 months later, I went to a Shaklee Science Fair. They had a machine that allowed me to see my face at the surface level and a layer below. I was the youngest person standing in line at the age of 35. Turned out I had the WORST skin of all. The scientist told me that I had SEVERE Sun Damage.

I argued with him vehemently. �I have been taking care of my face for 18 years to avoid ever having to hear those words!� His response was for me to look at the screen again. Nobody else had that kind of skin. Grrr. I asked him what I could do about it. He told me to use C&E PM Repair. I asked how much. He said, �A tube a day.�

He was kind of joking, but kind of not. I got mad� again. This time it was because of the sense of betrayal I felt: That skin care line that I had used for 18 years and had trusted to protect my face had not lived up to what it said it was doing! In fact, it had allowed my skin to seriously age and be dramatically damaged. That was the last straw for me for any loyalty I had ever felt toward my old product line.

Soon after, the Minerelles make-up line was introduced. I dumped all my old stuff and moved forward into the land of healing and repair work. No botox or face lift needed: Just the vitamin-filled products that Shaklee absolutely guaranteed.

The health of my skin continued to improve and the next year I had it tested again at a Shaklee Science Fair. My skin moisture had improved greatly, but still needed some more time to heal. I was okay with this kind of feedback. In fact, I was thrilled, because even a year later, the products were obviously still working!

In 2009, I went to a high end spa and had a facial treatment. The aestitician was impressed with the quality of my skin. She asked what I used and was not surprised to hear that it was Shaklee. She thought I was using a high end product. Then, she told me about how other skin care and make up lines cause all sorts of under-the-skin eruptions. When she mentioned my old product line as one of the culprits, I just shook my head. Can you imagine how much worse my face would be if I had continued using that line?

I am so glad that I changed brands and started using Shaklee�s Enfuselle Skin Care System and the Minerelles Make-up line. My skin is happier and healthier for it! I like looking in the mirror and seeing healthier skin with less wrinkles and fewer fine lines. I intend to look as young as I feel as long as I can.

Your Dog's Life Depends on the Food you Feed it!

December 30, 2010 - 10:27 am

When trying something for the first time, mistakes are an inevitable part of your learning curve. But what if your mistake can jeopardize your dog�s life?

That�s the predicament I faced when I decided to put my new Shar-Pei litter and their mom on a raw food diet. I knew this type of diet was the best diet for my doggy family, but I was pretty nervous about switching them for fear of food contamination. Seeing how puppies can be so fragile in their first few weeks, I didn�t want to risk their health by either introducing them to commercial food or inadvertently harming them with a raw food diet. In a way, I was damned if I did and damned if I didn't.

In this respect, Maggie Rhines� �Going Rawr! Dog Lover's Compendium� was a real life saver. Her book really went into detail when it came to the issue of food safety. From learning how to buy fresh to food handling, from preparation and serving to how much to prepare, from what to prepare to how to transition adult dogs, and how to wean pups� the list goes on!

If you�re planning to put your dog on the Raw Dog Food Diet, I recommend that you don�t start without reading this book first. It will help you save money, save time and more importantly, it will give you the confidence to start your babies on this diet.

You can get more information on Maggie Rhines� book here:

"Shaklee Basic H" What does $5,702.40 Look Like to YOU?

December 30, 2010 - 3:00 am

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS TO ME...

1 - 16 oz. bottle of Get Clean Basic H�
1 - Get Clean spray bottle Window/Glass formula
= Grocery Store Value of $5,702.40!

How is that possible? One 16 oz. bottle of Basic H� super concentrate will make over $5,700 worth of window/glass cleaner, replacing those bottles of mostly water spray bottles at the grocery store.

This is if you were to use the 16 oz. bottle of H� concentrate in only the window/glass formula of 2 drops per 16 oz. of water. That's is... 2 drops per 16 oz. spray bottle. Under my calculations... using Wikipedia as a guide, you will get 480 drops per fluid ounce times 16 ounces equals - 7,680 drops in one bottle of Basic H. Since it only takes 2 drops to make a 16 oz spray bottle of window cleaner... you will end up with 3,840 - 16 oz spray bottles of Basic H Window Cleaner or 61,440 ounces. Divide that by 32 ounces found in standard size bottle of Windex... you would get 1,920 32 oz. spray bottles of Windex.

I know... this may be very confusing, but stick with me : ) Good thing I paid attention in math class when I was in high school!

It would take 1,920 bottles of 32 oz. conventional window cleaners to equal the window/mirror cleaning power of one 16 oz. bottle of Basic H�. At Walmart... 1,920 - 32 oz - bottles of Windex @$2.97 each would cost you $5,702.40 plus tax. One 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2 Super Concentrate would make the same amount of window cleaner and will only cost you $10.35 as a Shaklee Member.

OK... that's sounds all fine dandy right? But I'm sure you want to know one question... Is Shaklee Basic H as good as Windex?

Shaklee Basic H Window Cleaner cleans every bit as well, and eliminates all those plastic spray bottles from going to the landfill. (1,920 Bottles to be exact) Shaklee Get Clean Products are a comprehensive line of safe, non-toxic, highly concentrated cleaning products for your whole house. Shaklee Get Clean Products are even used by the White House cleaning staff (as well as the National Armory and the Vice President�s home). Shaklee Get Clean Products are even on Oprah's Favorite list and been featured on the Oprah show many times.

Everything you need to clean your Kitchen, your Dishes, your House, your Windows and Mirrors, your Bathroom, your Laundry and more can be found in our Shaklee Clean Products. You don't need dozens of chemical cleaners under the sink that may be causing you and your family harm by breathing them, touching them or even swallowing them. Isn't it time to Shaklee-Ize your home today and know you and your family are safe and at the same time help the environment too?

Avoid Common Bodybuilding|Weightlifting Injuries-Common Mistakes In Gym

December 29, 2010 - 2:20 pm

Bodybuilding by weightlifting if done wrongly is a sure recipe for injuries. Sometimes even painful and permanent injuries that will derail your bodybuilding program. This article will address the common injury prone mistakes bodybuilders make in their quest to build a fit and muscular body and how to avoid those weightlifting injuries.

Many people who workout in gyms complain about backaches and they blamed it on their desk bound jobs sitting in front of the computer at long stretches of time. Perhaps they are right. Then why is it that more bodybuilders have backaches when compared to their non gym going colleagues?

Aren�t those people who lift weights are supposed to have stronger back muscles to support their musculature and should be less prone to backaches? I think you are getting the drift. Many bodybuilders suffer from common weightlifting injuries that they don�t even know it.

Many people actually think that if they do not suffer any pain when they are lifting weights, they are not injured. I want to debunk this bodybuilding myth right now. You see, many weight lifting injuries are very often sustained over a period of time.

It is because of the wrong weightlifting form being repeated over and over through many training sessions that cause the wear and tear of joints, tendons, cartilages and muscles. Many injuries do not just occur immediately or overnight like the weights dropping on your toes or painful muscle tear during your lifts.

Therefore executing your weightlifting movements in the correct form and techniques not only help your muscles to grow big and fast, it is also crucial to prevent bodybuilding injuries.

Common causes of injuries can also be attributed to lifting weights that are too heavy or that the bodybuilder who may be sick, and yet headed for the gym when his condition is not optimum for handling the weight he usually lift as he is in a physically weakened state.

So when the weights are too heavy or you are too weak to lift the weights you usually do, you are forced to cheat by swinging the weights up using momentum and lowering the weights by using gravity.

These movements not only waste your time in the gym as they are definitely not helpful in helping you build muscles. They will cause injuries.

An example of a common exercise done in the wrong form and a recipe for injuries is the common bar bell curl.

� Barbell Biceps Curl � This exercise is perhaps the most commonly executed in the wrong form and causing injuries that people don�t even know why they are injured. In every gym, you will see people swinging their barbells with their body rocking thru and fro in the movements.

The rocking movement places tremendous stress on the shoulder joint which is the most unstable joint in the human body and the lower back. Over time, the shoulder joints and lower back will pay a heavy price for the wrong form and technique used during the lift.

Other common bodybuilding exercises which are often wrongly executed are the lat pull down, bench press, leg extension, military press and list goes on.

So the next time when you have backache or joint pain, don�t blame it on other causes if you are a bodybuilder and that you lift weights often. Just reflect on the weightlifting exercises you are doing and examined them as to whether they are the cause of your injuries.

Better yet, hire a personal trainer or a bodybuilding book with picture illustration and description to learn how to lift weights in the correct form and technique to prevent common and serious weight lifting injuries.

It is made with a powerful blend of sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains.

� Products providing 800 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily, consumed with two different meals as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol Reduction Complex provides 1,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols per serving, and 2,000 mg daily when used as directed.

Lowers Cholesterol Naturally

Cholesterol Reduction Complex^� is a proprietary formulation with clinically proven ingredients that help prevent the absorption of cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol.

Made with a powerful blend of sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains
Delivers 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily
Plant sterols and stanols have been clinically proven by more than 80 studies to lower LDL cholesterol
Delivers daily 100% of the National Institutes of Health�s (NIH) recommendation for plant sterols and stanols*
Gluten free
Star-K Kosher certified

Science behind Cholesterol Reduction Complex from Shaklee:

Sterols and stanols, which are found naturally in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains, have been shown in numerous studies to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

So how exactly do plant sterols and stanols work?

Plant sterols and stanols are ingested from food or supplements.
Because they are structurally similar to cholesterol, plant sterols and stanols compete for absorption in the intestines.
Plant sterols and stanols bind to receptors in the intestines, leaving cholesterol behind.
The net result is that less cholesterol is absorbed by the body, and less ends up in the blood stream.

* Not intended for use by pregnant or lactating women or by children. Consult your physician if you are using cholesterol lowering medications.

Are Your Warts, Moles Or Skin Tags Hurting Your Confidence?

December 26, 2010 - 11:19 am

If you are a teenager and suffer from acne problems in a rather severe way, you know how this may lower your self-confidence. The same applies if you have a wart, mole or skin tag in parts of your body that are visible. Here I am talking about those 'horrible warts', moles or skin tags you may have or think that you have on your face.

Unfortunately today's society is quite a materialistic one and it nurtures in us an exaggerated importance on our appearance. A lot of programs and advertisements on television, internet, magazines and other written, audio and visual media make us believe that we have to be good looking to succeed in life. Good values are more and more being shown the back door.

This is however partly true. Industries are trying (and they are succeeding) to build exaggerated needs in all of us, so they can sell us their products. Intelligence, the ability to build mutual beneficial relationship with people, being able to attain the required skills for a successful career is much more important. All these will build your confidence.

However it is also true that your self-confidence will help you to build all these and much more. This is because your self-confidence is also related to your looks. Therefore it is important to take care of how you look.

Nevertheless you have to control yourself and remember that although being good looking is a plus point, you have to take it with a pinch of salt and remember that there are many other things that can help you to build your confidence and succeed in life.

So if you keep looking at the mirror and your eyes always fall on your wart, mole or skin tag, remember that most probably you are exaggerating and your wart, mole or skin tag is not so horrible as you might think.

However if you want to get rid of it, remember that there are many ways you can do so. But remember that although removing your wart, mole or skin tag will increase your self confidence, do not fall into the mistake to believe that being good looking by itself will solve all your problems.

Instead consider it is a plus point on your favor and as another way to build your confidence.

"Natural Cures" Nutritionists turn to Shaklee Products for Natural Medicine...

November 12, 2010 - 12:57 pm

CAUTION: Even Pharmacist are Converting To...

Start Living Healthier!

While Drugs Just Suppress Symptoms, Natural Cures Like Shaklee Products Can Beat Your Symptoms And Help Heal The Cause of Chronic Diseases!

One very important health fact is that...

...our body has an inherent desire for perfect health.

Illnesses produce symptoms that are just signals that the body is not in harmony and that the body is attempting to self-cure. Your body just needs the right environment to self-cure.

Learn about natural cures that you can...

...gain optimum health by increasing and harmonizing the energy levels in your body. This is ancient foundational principle is used in many holistic treatments like chakra healing, yoga, aromatherapy, meditation, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, even fasting! Besides being relevant, they are surprisingly inter-related.

Many people talk about flushing out toxins from our body with various detox regimes for good health. In fact, they would be surprised to know that the very cause of toxins building up in our body begins with the state of low energy!

All these drug-free treatments form the basis of natural cures using the powers of energy healing that creates the right environment for our body to self-cure.

We will scrutinize the rationale and evidence behind various holistic treatments. You will finally understand how...

...your body is able to naturally heal when you are ready both physiologically and psychologically. Hence, good health comprises of not only a good physical body state but also a synchrony of strong mental, emotional and spiritual states.

You know your body the best and you know when you need to pay attention to it.

You can prevent any illness and remain healthy if you apply these health facts. Prevention is better than cure!

Trained in western medicine, I have often looked at alternative treatments and natural cures with a lot of skepticism. Then my transformation began when I witnessed...

... patients who had diabetes for years finally got their sugar levels controlled

... senior citizens who were bed ridden miraculously gained mobility again

... patients who threw their walking sticks when their knee pain disappeared

... people who had migraine attacks every week regained control of their life.

The effects from the natural cures that I saw really caught me by surprise. It totally opened my horizons to wellness beyond my exposure as a pharmacist and started my journey into holistic management of health.

I realized that people are not just looking for medicines, we are looking for natural cures to live a free and happy life!

We take different medicines for different diseases. The thing that puzzled me was how just one energy healing therapy product can heal different illnesses.

My search lead me from one secret to another!

I discovered the root of all illnesses!

Why have you not heard of it?

If doctors knew all the answers they would live to 100!

Don't get me wrong, I am not of the proponent to stop using western medicine. They are great especially for treating symptoms of illnesses.

However, it is now possible to live a drug-free life or even pill free life!

"Healthy Children" Guide for Children Vitamins Supplements

I drives me... NUTS... INSANE... CRAZY and it makes me SAD... WORRIED... OUTRAGED... and CONCERNED when I see kids overweight and un-healthy. It's easy to blame the parents, but when you look and see what's going on in this world... we as a nation have turned to meals on the go from fast-food restaurants.
How many meals are our kids eating in the back seat of a car? Cooking at home is almost as bad... no time to prepare home cooked meals, so many families rely on frozen prepared meals... pop the food in the microwave and in under 10 minutes... we have dinner for the whole family.
Nobody said this is going to be easy... many people are working extra hours or taking on second jobs just to keep ahead. The last thing anyone wants to do after a long stressful day is cook. But we can't look at it that way... Ask yourself, am I going to spend an extra hour a day making sure my kids and family get the proper nutrition they need and not introduce toxins and proceesed foods to their diet? ...or am I going to hope for the best and pray they don't get diabetes, heart disease, cancer and more?
Here are some ideas that can help you and your family start taking smart choices towards your Childrens Health.
Involving the whole family is the best way to promote better eating habits and healthy activities for your children. A whole-family approach simply means that everyone - parents and kids alike - works together as a team to achieve good health and well being. As with any team, there's a leader or coach - and that's you!
Lead by example. Adult family members are important role models for healthy eating and exercise. Talk about why you eat fruit as a snack, take an exercise class, or go for walks.
Start 'em young. Don't wait until your child is at an unhealthy weight to institute good eating and activity habits. It's much easier to maintain a healthy weight than to lose pounds later.
Be active together. Make it usual for the family to be active, not sedentary. Being active as a family allows kids to expend energy in a positive way, and adults reap the health benefits, too.
Cook together. It may be impractical to do it every day, but invite kids into the process of preparing food. Little kids can learn math skills by measuring and they'll begin to understand the chemistry of cooking. They'll also gain an understanding of healthy ingredients. Older kids will enjoy having the authority to select and prepare foods they like and will be more likely to eat what they've made. It may even inspire them to make healthy choices on their own.
Eat together. Eating a meal as a family sends the right messages about nutrition. Kids will see their parents eating healthy food and may be inspired to try new foods. They will also come to see mealtime as a time for socializing and sharing. Parents get a chance to offer nutritious food, note their child's likes and dislikes, and tune in to their child's triumphs and troubles through conversation.
Raising healthy kids today can be challenging for all of us. Is this safe? Did they eat enough? Are they growing properly? Ease your worries with the world's best children's products, designed specifically with your little ones in mind. It's important to Eat Healthy Foods... especially the foods you find on the outside of grocery stores... Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, and Dairy. It's also important to make sure your kids are getting all the daily needs of nutrition to have health bones and a strong immune system.
Shaklee has been around over 54 years and is the largest nutrition company in the USA. Shaklee Vitamins and Shaklee Supplements for kids are all-natural and safe for your children. Studies have found that Shaklee Kids are Healthy Kids! For your Children Health... go with a name you can trust!

Watch Out for Chlorine in your Home

October 18, 2010 - 10:52 pm

There are more than 100,000 chemicals out there, and very few of them have been adequately studied to determine their toxicity or effect on hormonal activity. One endocrine-disrupting chemical, Chlorine, is commonly found in laundry bleach, household cleaners, and pool cleaners. It's also found in drinking water and industrial waste, and it's used in everyday products that you keep in your kitchen, such as bleached paper towels, napkins, and coffee filters. We are so used to its presence that we probably don't even think about how toxic a chemical it is. Chlorine has the potential to cause respiratory problems (wheezing, coughing, constricted airways), lung pain and collapse, eye and skin irritation, and sore throats. And until we can find out exactly how damaging chlorine and chemicals like it are, be smart and protect yourself. It's easier than you think to rid your home of chlorine. You can start by making some simple choices.

Paper products: Dioxins, which are by-products of the bleaching of pulp and paper with chlorine, are not only highly carcinogenic but also estrogenic. Choose paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins that are "processed chlorine-free," or PCF.

Coffee filters: Bleached coffee filters leach chlorine into your coffee and release dioxins with every drip. Choose unbleached or oxygen-bleached filters that use chlorine dioxide, a type of bleach that doesn't created dioxin residues.

Antibacterial soaps (or antibacterial anything!): In addition to the harm such products cause by encouraging antibiotic resistance, the triclosan they contain combines with chlorinated tap water to create the carcinogenic gas chloroform, as well as chlorinated dioxins, highly toxic forms of dioxin.

Carbon Filtered Water Pitchers do a great job removing Chlorine from City/Town Water and Bottled Water Sources.

Choose natural dishwashing and hand soaps without chlorine or phosphates. Good brands include Shaklee, Seventh Generation, Ecover, and Mrs. Meyer's.
Buy Good Filtered Water Pitchers from Get Clean Water (The Best), Brita, or Pur and change the filters as recommended.
Be sure to use Safe Toxic-Free Laundry Detergents like Get Clean Laundry and You may even consider getting rid of all your cleaning products you currently use in your bathroom, kitchen, floors, mirros, glass, etc and purchase a Get Clean Kit which included everything you need to protect you, your family for a sfer home and cleaner environment.
One last tip: Keep the dishwasher closed during the wash cycle! That "whoosh" of steam releases toxic volatilized chlorine, which is formed by the combination of detergent and tap water.
Have a Healthy Day!

The Right Diet can help Depression

October 14, 2010 - 10:57 pm

The Serotonin Diet and Depression

Eating carbohydrates boosts your serotonin levels, which may help you feel better and lose weight. Find out how timing your carbohydrate intake can help you gain control over your appetite and fight depression symptoms.

By Krisha McCoy, MS

Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH

If you have depression and have gained weight while taking antidepressants, or if you are struggling with your weight in general, the serotonin diet may be just what you need. By carefully timing your intake of carbohydrates, the serotonin diet may be able to help you curb your cravings, shed excess weight, and feel better mentally.
"Serotonin is a natural brain chemical," says Nina Frusztajer, MD, co-author of The Serotonin Power Diet. "It is associated with reducing appetite � it balances mood and can give you a calm energy."
Serotonin is produced mainly in the brain, and experts believe that this brain chemical, or neurotransmitter, helps regulate your mood, sleep-wake cycle, and appetite. Researchers have found that people with low levels of serotonin are at risk of developing depression and other mood disorders. Antidepressants work by boosting the level of serotonin in the brain to relieve symptoms of depression.
Serotonin and Foods
"The only way for your brain to make serotonin is through a series of reactions ... precipitated by eating carbohydrates," says Dr. Frusztajer.
When you eat a carbohydrate-rich food, insulin is released into the bloodstream, which facilitates the crossing of the amino acid tryptophan from the blood into your brain. In the brain, tryptophan acts to increase the production of serotonin.
According to Frusztajer, by eating certain foods, you can manipulate your body's production of serotonin to control your appetite and balance your mood.
The Serotonin Diet
The premise of the serotonin diet is that eating carbohydrate-rich foods may help keep your carbohydrate cravings under control and even improve your mood. "You eat � in such a way that you elevate brain serotonin to control your appetite," says Frusztajer.
According to Frusztajer, animal and human studies have shown that consuming carbohydrates to boost brain serotonin can help people control their appetite and lose weight. People on the serotonin diet meet the majority of their daily protein requirements at breakfast and lunch. In the afternoon and evening, the focus shifts to carbohydrates, because Frusztajer says that brain serotonin levels are naturally lower later in the day, making people more likely to overeat. "You eat carbohydrates to prevent binges," explains Frusztajer.
People on the serotonin diet have a carbohydrate-rich snack in the afternoon, which may be pretzels, whole-wheat crackers, or a low-fat granola bar. The ideal snack is 25 to 35 grams of non-fruit carbohydrates (Frusztajer says that fructose, or fruit sugar, doesn't cause much insulin to be released). A typical dinner on the serotonin diet would be a controlled portion of pasta with vegetables, followed by a frozen chocolate treat for dessert.
Who Should Do the Serotonin Diet?
"The appetite-controlling effects of raising brain serotonin are particularly effective for people who have gained weight on antidepressants," says Frusztajer. She says that some people can gain up to 70 pounds in a year after starting antidepressants, and for them weight loss on the serotonin diet can be dramatic.
While Frusztajer does not claim that the serotonin diet can help treat depression, she says that it can balance your mood, increase your mental energy, and help you sleep better. "Those are the effects of serotonin," she says.
Frusztajer adds that the serotonin diet works particularly well for women, since their levels of serotonin are naturally lower than men's. While women may initially do well on a low-carbohydrate diet, this approach results in chronically low serotonin levels that tend to eventually cause overeating and weight gain, she explains.
If you have not had success on other diets, particularly popular low-carbohydrate options, or if you have gained weight on antidepressants, consider the serotonin diet. You may find that it reinforces your first-line efforts to manage depression.

Which Fiber Helps Lower Cholesterol?

October 12, 2010 - 2:17 am

Insoluble or Soluble Fiber: Which Lowers Cholesterol?
Studies Show That Soluble Fiber May Help Lower Cholesterol More
There are two types of fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. While both of these are important to include in your diet, studies have shown that one type of fiber can also help to lower your cholesterol.
We have already known some of the other heatlhy benefits that fiber has to offer. It helps with normal bowel function and it adds bulk to foods to make you feel fuller. However, there is evidence of another, essential benefit that fiber may have is that it can improve your heart health.
Types of Fiber: Although there are several forms of fiber, they can be classified into two major groups: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. While both are good for the body, only one group has been shown to be beneficial in lowering your cholesterol.
Soluble fiber can be dissolved in water and forms a gel-like consistency in the digestive tract. On the other hand, insoluble fiber cannot be dissolved in water, so it passes through the digestive tract relatively unchanged. When it comes to your heart health, it appears that only soluble fiber is beneficial in lowering your cholesterol. In fact, studies have shown that consuming 10 to 25 grams soluble fiber a day can lower cholesterol by 18%.
However, it appears to only lower your �bad� cholesterol (LDL) �- your �good� cholesterol (HDL) and triglycerides are only minimally, if at all, affected by soluble fiber. Additionally, insoluble fiber does not appear to affect cholesterol levels, but it is important in maintaining a healthy colon.
Where Can I Get Soluble Fiber? A variety of foods contain soluble fiber. By consuming the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in the Food Pyramid, you should be able to obtain the recommended amount of soluble fiber each day.
Our Recommended Fiber Products and Supplements:

Fiber Advantage Bars

Fiber Plan Tablets

Fiber Powder - Great for adding to Meal Shakes or Juice

Calcium and Vitamin supplements reduce Breast Cancer risk

October 04, 2010 - 1:29 am

Interesting Article I found on NaturalNews I thought was worth passing on to my readers:
(NaturalNews) Taking vitamin and calcium supplements may reduce women's risk of breast cancer by as much as 40 percent, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico, and presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
"It is not an immediate effect. You don't take a vitamin today and your breast cancer risk is reduced tomorrow," researcher Jaime Matta said. "However, we did see a long-term effect in terms of breast cancer reduction."
The researchers conducted the study on 457 healthy women and 268 with breast cancer, all of whom had been taking vitamin and mineral supplements for the past five years. The women filled out a questionnaire about which vitamins and minerals they were taking, how regularly they took them, and if they were still taking them.
They then took samples of each woman's blood and measured her DNA's ability to repair itself of damage.
"This process involves at least five separate pathways and is critical for maintaining genomic stability," Matta said. "When the DNA is not repaired, it leads to mutation that leads to cancer."
The researchers found that calcium supplements significantly increased a woman's DNA repair capacity. Taking calcium supplements also decreased a woman's risk of breast cancer by 40 percent, while vitamin supplements decreased it by 40 percent.
Women who had a low DNA repair capacity, a family history of breast cancer, and no history of breast feeding were all more likely to suffer from breast cancer. When the researchers adjusted for calcium's effect on DNA repair capacity, they found little remaining effect on breast cancer risk.
This suggests that calcium helps prevent cancers by boosting DNA's ability to regenerate from damage. The mechanisms by which vitamin supplements protect the body from cancer were not determined.
"The importance of the study is that it's addressing normal doses, the recommended amount of vitamins, not high-dose supplements," said Victoria Seewaldt of Duke University.
Here are some recommended Supplements that are natural and safe for your body:

Calcium - our Calcium also has Magnesium. Magnesium is an extremely important mineral. Next to potassium, it is the most predominant mineral in our cells. Magnesium also functions very closely with calcium and phosphorus.

Vitamins - There are 4 Daily Vitamins everyone should be taking... click here to read which vitamins you should be taking daily.

What Vitamins You should be Taking Daily?

September 28, 2010 - 2:55 am

Dr. Oz sheds light on one of the most confusing health issues: What vitamins you should be taking daily. Find out what 4 supplements he takes every day and the 4 essential supplements for women over 40.
If you�ve ever stood paralyzed in the vitamin aisle, facing the wall of many supplements, fear no more. This is Dr. Oz�s Ultimate Supplement Checklist. Learn what to take, why your body needs it and the proper dose.

1) A Multivitamin

A study of 3 million people revealed that less than 1% of the participants got enough essential vitamins from diet alone. That�s why you must take a multivitamin; it also helps prevent heart disease, breast cancer and colon cancer.
The Dose
Look for 100% of the daily value of the 12 essential vitamins and minerals � like vitamins B, C, E and zinc. Note: Only women who are menstruating need a multivitamin with iron. If you are post-menopausal or a male, you do not need a multivitamin that contains iron.
More is not better � avoid �mega-doses.� You only need 100% daily value, not 500%.
Take half in the morning and half at night to maximize absorption. You use a multivitamin�s various components during the chemical reactions that occur throughout your body. So, maintaining constant levels assures a steady supply of these vital nutrients.

2) Calcium with Magnesium

This is a necessary supplement for strong, healthy muscles, bones and teeth.
The Dose
Calcium (600 mg) with magnesium (400 mg).
Take dose with a full glass of water, 2 hours after eating. Calcium can block the absorption of other supplements and prescriptions, so be sure to take it separately.

3) Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is integral the health of your immune system, blood vessels, muscles and nervous systems. Most of us don�t get enough vitamin D from sunlight, especially if you live in a northern climate or are dark-skinned.
The Dose
1,000 IU � this dose can be included in multi-vitamins, so make sure you read labels carefully.
Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it works better when taken with a little fat. Try taking it at breakfast with milk or yogurt.

4) Fish Oil

Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids called DHA and EPA which are essential for optimal functioning of the heart and brain. They reduce arterial inflammation, which can lower your risk for a heart attack. Fish oil is also associated with a 32% reduced risk of breast cancer.
While a controversial report this year indicated that fish oil supplements could be dangerous due to possible trace amounts of mercury and/or PCBs (cancer-causing chemicals found in fish swimming in polluted waters), this small amount is not enough to be a concern.
The Dose
Your daily dose must contain 600 mgs of the DHA omega-3 fatty acid. Take fish oil with breakfast to avoid �fishy burps,� a side-effect some report when fish oil is taken on an empty stomach.
Many fish oils recommended refrigeration to keep them from spoiling.

Vitamin D

Calcium

Fish Oil

In Case you're wondering... here are 3 supplements that Dr Oz says you should NEVER take:

BitterOrange - over 20 Million is sales last year alone. Taken to help lose weight. Contains a stimulant very similar to Efedra which was banned by FDA in 2004 because it was at risk of creating heart attacks, stroke, and even death.

Lobella - used for Asthma and Bronchitis and known to cause rapid heart beat, blood pressure can drop, comas, even death.

Yohimbe - Sexual Enhancement Supplement for both Males and Females. Over 14 Million in sales last year. May cause severe heart problems and FDA has placed a warning on this over 20 years ago.

Stay away from those 3 supplements... it may save your life!

Shaklee addresses Phosphates in Automatic Dishwasher Cleaning Agents

September 23, 2010 - 5:17 pm

Shaklee Difference

Laws in 17 States Limit Phosphates in Automatic Dishwasher Cleaning Agents
When Shaklee first launched our patented, phosphate-free Basic-D in 1991, we were way ahead of trend in making available a high performing phosphate-free automatic dishwash concentrate. It wasn't until 1994 that phosphates in laundry detergents were restricted nationwide, but until recently, automatic dishwasher detergent manufacturers could include phosphates without concern for environmental regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of phosphates. There simply weren't any.
Well, that time appears to be coming to an end. As of this year, 17 states have enacted laws regarding phosphates in automatic dishwasher cleaners, 15 of them in 2010 alone.
Why the concern about phosphates? Phosphates in bodies of fresh water like lakes, streams, rivers, and creeks, act as a nutrient to organisms like algae, encouraging their growth to an extent that they can harm or threaten plant and fish life.
Now is a great time to assure your consumers and prospects that Shaklee Get Clean products do not contain phosphates, and never will. And for those who are concerned about performance, Shaklee Get Clean Automatic Dish Wash Concentrate is a patented, highly concentrated, phosphate-free automatic dishwash cleanser, backed by the 100% Shaklee Satisfaction Guarantee, and selected as a 2008 recipient of the PTPA (Parent Tested Parent Approved) seal of approval. Its enzyme-activated formula removes tough stains without prerinsing, dissolving quickly and completely, without residue.
Here are the 17 states in which phosphates in dishwash detergents are now regulated. Is your state one of them?
Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont, Virginia
And even if your state isn't among these, shouldn't everyone you know be using a phosphate-free dishwash concentrate?

Shaklee intoduces VIVIX, the Reveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic

September 23, 2010 - 5:32 am

Shaklee intoduces VIVIX, the Reveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic

Shaklee Corporation introduces a revolutionary breakthrough that goes beyond resveratrol in the fight against cellular aging
Buffalo, NY � September 22, 2010 � Most Americans have heard that drinking a glass of red wine can be healthy but are unaware of why exactly this is true. In 2006, researchers at the Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) reported that a natural substance found in red wine, known as resveratrol, can potentially offset the negative effects of a high-calorie diet and significantly extend lifespan in mice. After the largest research project in its 52-year history, Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., is introducing Vivix� Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic, the first all-natural dietary supplement that combines resveratrol with a patent-pending plant extract to combat cellular aging.*
�Shaklee is proud of this breakthrough innovation of Vivix,� said Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education, Shaklee Corporation. �Our team has invested years of research to locate and isolate a unique blend of potent plant phytochemicals which when combined with resveratrol have been shown in laboratory studies to positively impact four key mechanisms of cellular aging by protecting and repairing cellular DNA, positively impacting genetic regulators, promoting cellular energy production and Vivix ingredients are 10 times more powerful than resveratrol alone at slowing AGE protein formation.�*
Vivix� is made with the purest and most potent natural resveratrol available and contains a unique profile of polyphenols which have been shown to address mechanisms of cellular aging in several laboratory tests. Vivix ingredients combat these key mechanisms by; repairing cellular DNA, positively impacting genetic regulators to help turn down aging, and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis to increase power production within cells.*
Published in Nature, the Harvard Medical School and NIA report suggests that resveratrol could help offset some of the negative impacts of a high-calorie diet in mice. The researchers found that resveratrol extended the lifespan of mice and appeared to blunt some of the effects of aging.
�This product goes far beyond resveratrol in the fight against cellular aging, says Shaklee product distributor, Kaetlin OBrien. A 30-day supply delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 3,000 glasses of red wine and has actually been shown in laboratory studies to be ten times more powerful than resveratrol alone at slowing one of the key mechanisms of cellular aging.*
The recommended serving of Vivix is one teaspoon a day, taken preferably with breakfast or lunch. Vivix is all natural without artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or added preservatives and is exclusively available through Shaklee Independent Distributors.

Heart Health | Top 10 Foods to Eat to Lower Your Cholesterol

September 22, 2010 - 3:01 am

A serious heart condition can put you at risk of a heart attack or it can be a sign that a heart attack has already occurred, but recognizing its symptoms could save your life.
The result of insufficient blood flow to your heart all related to different degrees of blockages in your arteries.
Angina is an increasing, unpredictable chest pain that sometimes occurs before a heart attack. It is serious and potentially life-threatening.

Common Causes:

Certain health factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol, can damage the inner lining of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. The body responds to the damage by trying to heal the arteries, which can cause a sticky substance called plaque to build up in areas where there is damage.
When there is a disruption of the lining of the arteries, typically plaque, that can cause blood clots to form. When that occurs, the patient experiences chest pain.

Know the Symptoms:

If left untreated, these conditions have a high rate of worsening, that�s why it�s important to seek medical attention immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:

Chest pain that may feel like pressure, squeezing, or fullness in your chest

Pain, tingling, or discomfort in the arms

Pain in the back, neck, jaw, or abdomen

Shortness of breath

Nausea or vomiting

Sweating

Dizziness or light-headedness

Not everyone will experience every symptom. Some people may feel a tightening in the chest or tingling in the arms. Others may just experience shortness of breath.
People who smoke or have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or a previous personal history of coronary heart disease should be especially quick to call their doctor if they notice any of these signs.
Not every instance of chest pain is dangerous, for example, if you eat spicy foods and feel a burning in your chest that is relieved by an antacid, it is not likely to be from a life-threatening cause. But if you have unexplained chest pain, your symptoms should be evaluated by your doctor.

10 Ways to Prevent Colds and Flu

September 21, 2010 - 3:17 am

Protect Yourself to Prevent Colds and Flu

Does it seem as though every doorknob is teeming with cold germs and other viruses? A few simple precautions may help you prevent a cold or the flu from taking you down.
Late fall through winter, you're cooped up inside, with lots of sneezing and sniffling people sharing the same space and breathing the same air. You may not be able to completely prevent colds and flu this time of year, but by practicing good hygiene and being careful to avoid cold germs, you may escape cold and flu season unscathed.

1. Get a Flu Vaccine

This may be a controversial topic, but even though I'm for all natural health products... getting a seasonal flu vaccine is a great way to protect yourself against the flu viruses going around each year. Head to your doctor early on in flu season (as soon as the vaccine is available) and get yourself vaccinated. It's one of the most effective ways to prevent flu. Studies have found that in healthy adults, the flu vaccine can decrease the chances of coming down with the flu by as much as 70 percent to 90 percent. But unfortunately, the flu vaccine can't completely prevent flu in everyone. Though there's still a chance you could get sick, the flu vaccine can lessen the severity and duration of your symptoms. Even though you get a flu shot, you still need to eat healthy, exercise, avoid germs and nourish your body daily to help prevent getting the flu.

2. Wash Hands Frequently

Another of the most effective ways to prevent colds and the flu is simply washing your hands properly and frequently. Wash your hands a lot, and encourage those around you to wash their hands. This will help to get rid of cold germs you pick up from doorknobs and stair rails, and keep you from getting them into your body. One study found that college students who washed hands frequently had fewer cold and flu symptoms.

3. Wipe Down Areas with Germs

It's probably common sense not to shake a sick person's hands when you want to prevent a cold, but that's far from the only place that you can pick up cold germs. A recent study looked for the presence of viruses on classroom surfaces and found that the flu virus was found on as many as 50 percent of surfaces. So take some time when you clean up your office or home to wipe down areas where germs may be found like light switches, doorknobs, your phone, your computer, and your TV remote with your favorite natural cleaning product. Minimizing exposure to germs can help prevent colds and the flu.

4. Hands Off

Whether you're nibbling on finger foods or you're a nail biter, your hands have a habit of finding their way into your mouth, not to mention your nose, and eyes, all areas where germs can enter the body. And if you haven't recently made it to a sink to scrub your hands, you're inoculating yourself with those cold germs. To prevent cold and flu viruses, don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands and encourage others not to touch their eyes, nose, or mouth with their hands, this is how germs get inside you to grow into an upper respiratory infection. This will also help prevent cold and flu viruses from spreading.

5. Drink Plenty of Fluids

General good health practices keep your body strong and ready to fend off cold germs and the flu virus. And that includes drinking plenty of water. In fact, one recent study found that staying hydrated may boost a particular immune response to enable your body to better fight the viruses. Stay hydrated by drinking a lot of fluids, especially clean water, and by avoiding caffeinated drinks. Shoot for six to eight glasses of water per day, more if the weather is hot, says Elder.

6. Exercise to Strengthen Your Immunity

Exercise not only makes you feel great and helps you stay fit, but it also boosts your immune system and can help prevent cold and flu viruses from making you sick. And warding off extra weight is important for overall health, and particularly helps to prevent flu and cold viruses from infecting you. A recent study found that overweight and obese people were more likely to fall ill or be injured, and researchers determined that higher BMI indicated an increased risk of injury and illness.

7. Take Probiotics

Probiotics are "good" bacteria that can help keep the body healthy and protect it from "bad" bacteria � and there's even some thought that taking probiotics may help to prevent cold and flu viruses. In fact, a recent study found that regular use of probiotics kept people healthier and reduced the incidence of upper respiratory infections (like the common cold). Consider eating foods that contain probiotics or taking probiotic supplements to prevent flu.

8. Buy a Bottle of Hand Sanitizer

Let's face it, you can't always get to a sink when you need to wash germs off of your hands. So keeping a bottle of hand sanitizer handy is a good idea to help disinfect hands and prevent flu and cold viruses. One study of university students found that keeping hands clean with hand sanitizer reduced the incidence of upper respiratory illnesses.

9. Eat Healthy Foods

A healthy diet can strengthen your immune system and help you prevent flu and cold viruses from attacking. Fruits, vegetables, low-fat proteins, and complex carbohydrates are the keys to good nutrition that will boost your immune system. A recent study found that providing seniors with plenty of nutrients powered their immune systems and helped them to prevent the flu virus.

10. Get Plenty of Sleep

Getting enough shut-eye each night offers bigger benefits than staying awake during a long afternoon at the office. Studies have found that getting enough sleep is essential for healthy immune function, and that insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality is associated with lowered immune function. So that means catching enough zzz's at night can help prevent cold and flu viruses from slowing you down.

Bill Demong lives to compete. Make that... win. He garnered two World Championship medals and 11 World Cup podiums in 2009 alone.

The 29-year-old took the podium twice at the Vancouver Games... once for the individual 10 km race and once for the 4x5 km team relay.

I also take Defend & Resist Complex to help keep my immune system up, especially during all the travel. He adds, I trust Shaklee to help supplement my nutrition. It's an integral part of how I not only maximize my training, but also how I recover.

When Sandra Gal received her first set of brightly-colored plastic golf clubs on her fifth birthday, she had no idea that it was the beginning of her career. Today, the 25-year-old is on her way to becoming one of the most respected golfers in the world.

Craig Blanchette

Craig Blanchette is unstoppable. A four-time winner of the Portland (Ore.) Marathon, he holds 21 world records in elite wheelchair racing and a bronze medal from the Games in Seoul. Indeed, Craig knows what it takes to succeed and admits that although winning is great, it�s not everything. Rather, passion is what fuels him to do what he does. It�s now or never, he says. You have to decide what you are made of.
A double amputee since birth and an inspiration to many, Craig has shown that there are no limits as to what one can achieve. He was inducted into the Oregon Disabled Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 and, like Kevin Hansen (his coach of 15 years), Craig dedicates his time to training other wheelchair racers�that is when he�s not skateboarding, rock climbing, or scuba diving. Craig credits part of his athletic achievements to proper nutrition and is a huge fan of Shaklee Physique. He says, Physique allows me to have better quality workouts, to get better performance out of the same amount of work, and to recover more quickly.

The Social Stigma of being Overweight

August 28, 2010 - 2:27 pm

Statistics have shown that the world population has experienced a remarkable increase of obesity and overweight rates during the past few years, and this is true among all age groups and both genders.
This is mainly simply because people these days are more inclined to eat in quick food restaurants and neglect their dose of fruits and veggies. Another cause of being obese and is the inactive way of life people have due to the convenience of using PCs, television, and personal computer games for work and for fun.
But being overweight is a big social issue. Name calling and super-sized clothes are just a few from the actual dilemmas confronting the obese.
The attack on people who are overweight by the entertainment press continues to dishonor them. It's really hard for people who have excess weight nowadays; on television and in magazines, you are conscious that all people desire to possess a slim physique. That everyone wants to look a certain way.
It was even reported that airlines are considering weighing passengers and on setting their fare amount based on their weight. They have suggested as well to oblige individuals who don't fit in one seat to pay for two tickets.
Being obese and excess weight are problems we should critically tackle. Not for the shallow self-gratifying purpose the media wants us to have, but for the severe medical problems related to it.
Discriminating against the overweight and obese is bad, but not encouraging them to lose weight is likewise wrong.
The popular treatment of obesity and getting overweight would involve less consumption of quick foods, elevated consumption of fruits and vegetables, more exercise, and less time spent in front of the television and personal computer or playing video games.
Overweight people,if they could, should certainly talk to a nutritionist. You should be conscious at all times on which foods are nutritious and which aren't since diet myths are very abundant. You should do your best to only have nutritious foods within the house or at work since keeping junk foods and seeing them will only entice you to eat them.
I also think that the best thing to do to conquer this social stigma against being overweight is for them to accept themselves for who they are, and that it doesn't matter what they look like; that they need to eat better for health reasons.
The overweight should attempt not to focus just on the weight issue for its own sake; but attempt to make it a health issue.
Continue to do your best. It is a lifelong process. There are setbacks sometimes, but they should keep attempting. Concentrate on areas that need more help. And attempt to be creative; what works for one individual might not work for someone else, but they should do what they can and then pass it on to others who might need help.

Advertising online is incredibly affordable especially when you consider how many potential customers a business owner can reach with an online marketing campaign. Most methods of online advertising are quite affordable and some of them do not have any direct costs. For example, you may choose to market your business online by participating in industry forums and posting links to your website whenever it is appropriate to do so. In this case the cost of creating and maintaining the website is insignificant in comparison to the number of potential clients you could reach through online marketing. Additionally, the costs associated with posting links to your website are incidental. You could consider the cost of having access to the Internet as part of the cost but you most likely require Internet access for other reasons as well so it is completely worthwhile.
Reaching a large target audience is another very worthwhile reason for marketing your business online. You may have spent a great deal of time and energy doing market research and determine who your target audience is. You may have also spent a great deal of time trying to figure out the best way to reach this audience. This is a very sound marketing principle but as it applies to marketing on local television, radio and print media it only allows you to reach a limited audience. However, when you take your marketing to the Internet you automatically drastically increase your potential target audience because you now have the ability to reach members of your target audience around the world.
This ability to reach customers around the world is another major advantage to marketing your business online. Regardless of where you live and operate your business, you have the ability to reach those who have an interest in the products you sell or the services you provide no matter where they live. This makes it possible for you to do business with customers around the world.
Likewise the fact that the Internet is available 24 hours a day is also very beneficial to those who choose to market their products or services online. Shopping for products and services in person can be very difficult especially for individuals who work long hours or those who work unusual hours. These working conditions make it difficult for these individuals to do business and make purchases of products and services they need during regular business hours. However, business owners who have an online presence are much more convenient because unlike stores and calling centers, the website never closes. This convenience gives potential customers the ability to view products and services, compare these products and service to the ones offered by competitors and make a purchase at any hour of any day.
If you are a business owner who is reading this article and you do not already have a strong online presence, you need to immediately start learning more about the world of Internet marketing. This is so important because if your competitors are marketing online, you may find they are gaining a steady advantage and are becoming more appealing to potential customers. Before too many of your potential customers become loyal customers of the competition it is time to start figuring out how you can market your business online and keep up with the competition.
To Your Success,

The 12 Most Dangerous Supplements are NOT in any Shaklee Products

August 16, 2010 - 9:57 pm

But there�s another huge piece of the Shaklee Difference that I want you to know about. It�s about the potentially dangerous ingredients that you simply won�t find in Shaklee Products. The feature story in the September, 2010 issue of Consumer Reports� is �The 12 Most Dangerous Supplements, Which ones to avoid, Why they�re on the market,� published by Consumers Union� (CU), the expert, independent, nonprofit organization working for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/september/september-2010-toc.htm
Consumer Reports singled out the following �dirty dozen� dietary supplement ingredients due to potential health risks ranging from cardiovascular to liver and kidney problems: 1) aconite, 2) bitter orange, 3) chaparral, 4) colloidal silver, 5) coltsfoot, 6) comfrey, 7) country mallow, 8) germanium, 9) greater celandine, 10) kava, 11) lobelia, and 12) yohimbe. And the FDA has warned about at least eight of them, some as long ago as 1993.
It came as no surprise to Shaklee that there are not any ingredients on this list that are in our products. In fact, these ingredients are not and have never been used in any Shaklee dietary supplement. In addition to researching the ingredients that we use in our Shaklee formulas for their efficacy, we take equal care in determining the safety of each and every ingredient used in our Shaklee products. Over the years we�ve evaluated many of the ingredients on the CU list and have rejected them for the same safety reasons CU now uses to identify them on their �hit� list.
The �dirty dozen� list is the first update of the original CU list published in 2004. And now it should come as no surprise to you that no Shaklee dietary supplement has ever contained any of the offending ingredients from either the 2004 or the new 2010 Consumer Reports �Most Dangerous Supplements� lists.
Always Safe is more than just a catchphrase at Shaklee, it�s a guiding principle. Safety is paramount at Shaklee and our safety standards are unsurpassed in our industry. We conduct hundreds of tests on new ingredients and tens of thousands of quality tests annually to ensure product safety and efficacy. But more importantly, we design safety into each and every one of our products so you can be confident that dangerous ingredients will never find their way into any Shaklee dietary supplement.

Introducing Get Clean Water from Shaklee

August 13, 2010 - 11:10 am

A fresh take on healthier water, Get Clean Water is a new multipatented water filtration system. Unlike other water pitchers, Get Clean Water uses a solid block of carbon to clean your water, reducing some pretty nasty contaminants�including up to 99 percent of lead.
Get Clean Water is the first pitcher to use a refillable carbon-block filter system so there's less plastic to throw away. And it filters 80 gallons of water per filter�twice as much as Brita� and PUR�
Cleaner, healthier water and a cleaner, healthier planet?
We can all drink to that!
Beats Leading Brands!
� Certified to reduce lead (Brita� and PUR� are not!3)
� Certified to filter 80 gallons�twice as much as Brita� and PUR�2
� First-ever pitcher with refillable carbon-block filter system
The Smart Choice!
� Costs only pennies a gallon
� First automatic pitcher meter that shows gallons filtered
� Healthy great-tasting water

* Substances reduced may not be in all users' water.
** Compared to Brita� and PUR� pitcher filters at 40 gallons. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
*** The comparison of current WQA and NSF certified reduction claims was conducted on June 16, 2010, on the Brita OB-36 and the PUR CR-6000C pitchers and is valid only for the named products marketed at the time.

Get Clean offers Safe Non-Toxic Cleaning Products as Seen on Oprah!

July 27, 2010 - 12:57 pm

I have been a steady user of products like Windex, Mr. Clean, Ajax, Tide, Pledge, Comet and more for my approach to cleaning our home for many years. But I recently decided to try the new line of Get Clean household products from Shaklee.
When my 2 boxes of Get Clean products arrived, I must confess, my first thoughts were excitement and a shadow of doubt. It seemed like a lot of neat stuff, but will they actually work? Were the clean, fresh impressions that I gleaned from their website an accurate depiction of the actual goods?
Happily, the answers are Yes, and without a doubt!
I am truly amazed by their effectiveness and eco-friendliness. Get Clean not only gets the job done � but it�s a true green find � an entire line of nontoxic cleaners that won�t pollute the air you breathe, or cause harm to Mother Earth.
The Get Clean Starter Kit contains a nifty array of practical solutions; each item packs a concentrated punch of cleaning power and each package and dispenser is attractive and well designed. The kit is all-inclusive, with measuring scoops, cloths, sponge, scrubbing pad and even a handy storage/caddy. And the instructions are thorough and easy to follow. As I stood over my kitchen sink, measuring and mixing my new cleaning cocktails, I had a few quiet chuckles as I flashed back on my chem classes from many moons ago.
The entire line is a treat, especially after so many years of using toxic chemical based products on various surfaces. My favorite is the Scour Off Heavy-Duty Paste, it�s a heavenly dream whip that wipes out the tough stuff with ease. For an overview of the complete line, simply click to Get Clean.
With further digging, I also discovered that Shaklee also has an impressive history. Founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, they launched one of the first nontoxic, biodegradable cleaners in the 1960s. A decade later, one of the first biodegradable laundry detergents without phosphates, nitrates or borates was introduced, followed by one of the first official Earth Day products in 1990. And in 2000 Shaklee was the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral certification and totally offset its CO2 emissions, with a net zero impact on the environment.
Shaklee�s environmental stewardship and socially responsibility creates an attractive business opportunity. 12,000 new entrepreneurs sign up every month. I like what they�re all about � health, harmony with nature, shared dreams, a better world, and doing it right.
Here�s a Quick Snapshot from their Website If one person were to switch from conventional cleaners to a Get Clean Starter Kit it would eliminate 108 pounds of packaging waste from landfills and 248 pounds of GHG emissions, the equivalent of planting 10 trees.

Drinking Tap Water with Chlorine May be a Health Risk!

July 24, 2010 - 11:32 pm

Drinking Tap Water with Chlorine May be a Health Risk!

You'd be amazed how many water municipalities add chlorine to their drinking water to get rid of microbes. This is an inexpensive and highly effective disinfectant, but what you probably don't know is the dangers of chlorine in our body. Chlorine my be going into your body everyday if you are drinking tap water or even bottled water.
While chlorine is an inexpensive and effective drinking water disinfectant, it is also a poison and we are drinking it, washing in it and cooking with it. Did you know that chlorine gas was used with deadly effectiveness as a weapon in the First World War? The gas would severely burn the lungs and other body tissues when inhaled, and is no less powerful when ingested by mouth.
Researchers have now linked chlorine in drinking water to higher incidences of bladder, rectal and breast cancers. Reportedly chlorine, once in water, interacts with organic compounds to create trihalomethanes (THMs) � which when ingested encourage the growth of free radicals that can destroy or damage vital cells in the body. Most of the water we drink ends up in the bladder and/or rectum, so THMs in drinking water are particularly damaging to these organs most.
The link between chlorine and bladder and rectal cancers has long been known, but only recently have researchers found a link between common chlorine disinfectants and breast cancer, which affects one out of every eight American women. A recent study conducted in Hartford, Connecticut found that women with breast cancer have 50-60 percent higher levels of organochlorines (chlorine by-products) in their breast tissue than cancer-free women.
But don't think that buying bottled water is any solution. Much of the bottled water for sale in the U.S. comes from public municipal water sources that are often treated with, you guessed it, chlorine. A few cities have switched over to other means of disinfecting their water supplies. Las Vegas, for example, has followed the lead of many European and Canadian cities in switching over to harmless ozone instead of chlorine to disinfect its municipal water supply.
Here's some Tips

Stop Buying Bottled Water! It may not be any better than the water you get from your tap and all those empty plastic bottles are ending up in landfills... they are horrible for the environment!
Carbon Filters will removed most of the Chlorine from your tap water... a simple and cost effective way for drinking tap water.

Anti-Aging... Look Younger and Live Longer!

June 27, 2010 - 5:53 am

Resveratrol is the New Anti-Aging Potion

Resveratrol has been found to help with Anti-Aging. Years of Research has figured out why Red Wine has always been thought as a health drink... it's because of the Red Grapes. Actually the skins of the Red Grapes is where Resveratrol has been discovered. Harvard Medical Group and Shaklee have figured out a way to extract Resveratrol Naturally and come up with a patent product called VIVIX.

One of the biggest mysteries in life is how to stop people from aging. Everyone ages because that's just the way it works. However, most people don't like the whole aging process. Their skin starts to get loose, their muscle starts to deteriorate, and many parts of the body seem to become less attractive. Since this is such a big issue companies have taken full advantage of it by throwing out many products that are supposed to help prevent the symptoms of aging. However, not many of them work. This article, though, will focus on one Anti-Aging product that does work, Resveratrol.
Before using any Anti-Aging product people should know what it is and what it is supposed to do. This is to make sure that there isn't anything in it that people may be allergic to or anything like that. Well, Resveratrol is actually a natural product. It is made up of skins of various red fruits, grapes, peanuts, berries, herbs, red wine, and many other things. By looking at this list of ingredients people can easily figure out that this product is much more natural than other products that are supposed to prevent the symptoms of aging.
Most Anti-Aging products seem to be more like a miracle product than an actual product that is proven scientifically. However, this isn't the case with Resveratrol. Resveratrol has ingredients in it that activates genes called sirtuins. Sirtuins are believed to actually reduce the cellular decay in the body and give cells more power in order to build themselves back up. It sounds really complicated, but all people have to know is that this product reduces the process of cellular decay, it reduces the death of cells, it controls any sort of abnormal growth in cells, and it helps with cell repair.
This almost sounds too good to be true, so there must be a catch. However, there is no catch. Even when it comes to the amount of Resveratrol people are to take. The amount is actually quite small. With just one to ten milligrams of this product a day people can get the great benefits of this product that have been mentioned in this article. I hope this article has been beneficial to those looking for a great Anti-Aging product that actually works.

Eat Foods that Burn Fat

April 22, 2010 - 3:23 am

Eat Foods that Burn Fat by Scott OBrien | www.BellyFatDietPlan.com
Foods that burn fat are simply those foods that have the capacity to burn more calories or to combat stored fat. Effective weight loss diet will normally focus on food intake since that is the major source of acquiring fat into the body. The emphasis is usually on consumption of foods with low calorie content (foods rich in fiber). Avoid any burn-fat diet plan that says you should skip meals, or you will only end up slowing the rate of your body metabolism and making yourself vulnerable to ill health.
Eating foods that burn fat and engaging in regular exercises help you burn more calories and also improve your metabolism. The amount of fat burnt by the fat burning foods is more than the calorie contained in these foods themselves.
The fat fighting foods include:

Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, pawpaw, tangerines etc. These are fruits that contain vitamin c in good measure. They are also rich in fiber. Vitamin plays a great role in aiding the body to process fat quicker; it also stimulates a substance that speeds up the rate of fat burning by the body � the carnitine amino acid.

Dairy products: some of them are rich in calcium (e.g. milk, yogurt and cheese). These have the capacity of burning fat and aiding weight loss. They work to increase fat breakdown in fat cells. A diet that features dairy products alongside same calorie restriction is capable of doubling the rate of fat burning/weight loss.

Eat food that burns fat and do regular workouts so that you can lose weight naturally and conveniently.

Best Diets for Weight Loss � Advice and Tips

April 19, 2010 - 12:39 am

by Scott OBrien | www.BellyFatDietPlan.com
You can discover a diet plan which you can easily follow consistently and lose weight in a natural and healthy way. A lot of diet plans are not effective because they are usually short term weight-loss plans, and is composed of much restricted eating habits that is difficult to keep up.
Tip 1
The best diets for weight loss plans are simply those that are sustainable! If you go with a high target that you are not able to keep up with, you will eventually go back to the old habits completely and end up building more fat. A popular saying has it that slow and steady wins the race.
Tip 2
It is much better that you set a realistic goal. Drastic drop of your calorie intake will only end up leaving you hungrier and increasing the urge to reach out for snacks or to be lured into bingeing. It also applies to your workout; you can start out with 2 hours exercise on the gym and gradually increase it rather than going all out spending several hours per time, you will eventually give up.
Tip 3
Now, if you eventually falter in your schedule and sneak back to taking chocolate and all the sorts, don�t be hard on yourself by feeling too downcast. We all falter at one time or the other no matter how hard we try not to. It also applies in our effort to keep up with the best diets for weight loss plans. Just brace up and move ahead.

April 14, 2010 - 12:46 am

Does Stress cause Panic Attacks?
There are several causes of panic attacks. This condition may be triggered by intense fear or anger. Or you may naturally have this condition due to the stresses that you encounter everyday. Stress induced panic attacks may be coming from severe nervousness, fear or pain. Different circumstances that happen in your life may somehow bring about stress which causes the condition panic attack to be triggered.
Each panic attack happens differently; therefore the approach that should be given to the patient also differs. This makes it difficult to handle. However, there are steps that one must learn and fully understand to be able to at least know how to deal with the condition.
If one is becoming stressed out with a certain situation, the problem must be first addressed. This is the best way to help treat panic attacks due to stress. So, one must treat the root first before the cause. You may also keep track of the attacks and the possible cause of each one. This is to properly address the root of the condition. This will also help the doctor know the type of treatment to be given to you.
Treatments of this condition vary depending on the cause of the panic attack. Also, medication may be given if the doctor sees that it can be dangerous to your life.

Sleep Panic Attacks

April 09, 2010 - 3:06 am

What are Sleep Panic Attacks?

by Scott OBrien | www.GetRidOfMyPanicAttacks.com

Experts say that there are different stages of sleep. REM is usually experienced when dreams start to appear. Non-REM is a stage wherein we are at the deeper stage of sleep where we wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Sleep panic attacks happen when we do not experience the non-REM stage. This happens when we wake up feeling tired and anxious.
Sleep panic attacks usually happen when a person spends too much time worrying and thinking of problems. The time to rest is occupied with the thoughts of stress and worries. This is not beneficial to everybody. It does not do any good to your body and mind. It is also difficult to control panic attacks during sleep, therefore, this should be avoided from happening.
It is always proper to find ways to get rid of these sleep panic attacks. One way to avoid it is by keeping your mind free from worries and stresses when you are about to sleep. This will help you relax more before going to sleep and obtain a deeper sleep which helps rejuvenate your mind and body. Also be sure that you are comfortable with your bed and your room. This will stimulate your mind to just stay asleep and relax.

Stay away from sleeping pills; these will not help at all. Artificial sleep will not give you a relaxed and refreshed mind and body. Learn how to fall asleep in your own natural ways. Having a healthy mind and body will help sleep panic attacks to happen.

It is never easy to deal with this condition since the patient may think that he or she is having a hear attack or stroke. It is important that the patient knows enough about the condition to avoid misinterpreting the attack.
These symptoms are making the patient go out of control of what he or she is feeling. Panic Attacks are not lethal but may cause other health conditions especially those associated with the heart.
Seeking for doctor�s advice and treatment is important when feeling
symptoms of panic attack to address the problem right away and prevent complications. It may also help in eliminating the condition forever and be able to live normally again. To be able to take care of the mind and body helps in treating panic attacks.

Positive Work Strategies - Good Work Habits That Will Set You Apart

March 29, 2010 - 10:44 pm

If you wish to be set apart from the crowd and get noticed for what you do, then it is almost an axiom that you should be disciplined and be able to make the most of what you currently have.
As a worker, your most valuable asset is yourself, and how you manage yourself will determine whether you will be in the next wave of promotions or the next wave of firings.
Here are some of good work habits that will set you apart:
Think positively. In business, there will always be people who only see the difficulties involved in any undertaking. In contrast, there are those people who only see the possibilities and potential of any given venture.
If you had to choose between the two, choose the latter attitude - it will bring you greater results. While you should not turn a blind eye to potential problems - indeed, you should plan to either avoid them or deal with them - you should not hold a pessimistic view of the world either.
This will only lessen your productivity and possibly spread an unwanted attitude among the people with whom you work with.
Plan your day ahead of time. When one is not aware of what needs to be done during the day, the day tends to be wasted in non-productive tasks.
But if one has a plan of action to follow, it becomes easier to mobilize the energy that is needed to make the day a success. Each evening before you go to bed, list down the five most important things that you must accomplish the following day.
Then, work on (and finish) the most important item before moving on to the second one. This will ensure that you will work on the most significant of your tasks and get a high-value return on your time.
Remember the 80/20 Principle. The 80/20 principle (also known as Pareto's rule), was first formulated by the Italian thinker Vilfredo Pareto.
As applied to personal productivity, it postulates that 80% of your results come from only 20% of your efforts, and that 20% of your results are the product of 80% of your effort
Basically, the 80/20 principle states that we are usually inefficient. We do not devote as much time and energy as we should to our most important tasks.
Instead, we try to do everything ourselves, even though we may not be very competent in some tasks. If you wish to improve your productivity at work, analyze what it is you do that can make a dramatic impact on the growth of your company, and propose to your superiors that you be allowed to do that one thing.
If you chose an area wherein you can make a real contribution, your boss will not mind your level of specialization.
To Your Success, Scott OBrien

Traffic Secrets For Your Online Business

March 29, 2010 - 4:18 am

Domain Names
A great domain name will complement your traffic building efforts. Register a domain name that's easy to remember. Stay away from long hard to spell domain names. Also, avoid domain names with hyphens and numbers. Ask yourself, "Will people remember my domain name?" Test the domain name with your friends, family, and existing customers. Ask them about their opinion. You might love the domain name, while others would struggle with spelling or remembering it.
If you must have the hard to spell domain name, buy the misspelled version too. Domain names are cheap to register. It's worth buying domains that might be mistyped or misspelled versions of your primary domain. For a small investment, you can correct your customers spelling errors.
Make your domain name easy to read. Which of the following is easier to read? howtostopyourdogfrombarking.com or HowToStopYourDogFromBarking.com Capitalizing the first letter of each word helps your reader. The easier it is to read the easier it is to remember. Don't buy the.net version of a domain if the.com version is no longer available. Having the.net version only is going to result in loss of revenue for your business to the business that owns the.com version of the domain.
Directories
Submit your site to directories. There are several major directories such as "The Open Directory Project" you should consider, but don't ignore the smaller niche directories either. A listing in a directory will result in a link to your site. More importantly, the link is from a relevant directory category. Another advantage of links from directories is that they are one-way links pointing to your site, which is considered more valuable than reciprocal links.
Hosting
A reliable web hosting company has to be part of your traffic building strategy. There is nothing more frustrating than clicking on a search result that leads to a website that is offline. Selecting an inadequate hosting company could result in loss of traffic. You work hard to drive traffic to your site. Don't let a substandard hosting company undo your efforts.
Some directories offer free listings while others only offer paid listings. Paid listings usually result in faster listings while free listings can take months or longer. In addition to the financial commitment to getting your site listed in directories, there is a significant time commitment. Directory listings can be easily outsourced on websites such as elance.com. Another alternative is to hire a student.
Another Great Resource for Massive Traffic is Mass PPV Traffic. This new traffic system will change the game in 2010. Get in early now while hardly anybody knows about it (and if they do they have no idea how to do it properly) and literally become a super affiliate with a huge list, Clickbank millionaire, CPA king, (or whatever you want) overnight - because you'll hold the secret key to getting as much traffic as you want, whenever you want it, and be able to send it anywhere at will - all without going broke like you would whilst doing PPC.

Start a Diet For Weight Loss, Eating CHOCOLATE...

March 26, 2010 - 11:34 pm

Eat Chocolate... a Diet for Weight Loss... Income Opportunities! If you need a Second Income at Home, then a chocolate business is the way to go. How many people do you know that likes chocolate? How many people do you know that needs to lose some weight? How many people are fighting Childhood obesity? How many people do you know that could use an extra $200, $300, $500 per week or more? Do You see the potential here?
Jim Cramer, financial guru and host of MSNBC's popular Mad Money, says that during these tough times, direct selling/network marketing companies like Tru Chocolate are truly the way to go.
"My mantra's still the same: there is always a bull market somewhere," says Kramer. "In a market this ugly, bull markets are smaller, teeny-tiny, and very hard to find."
Kramer pointed towards one market that has seen a sharp increase since things started getting tough back in '08: direct selling companies like Avon, Herbalife, and (of course) Tru Chocolate.
"This is a business...that bizarrely, works best when times are bad."
Further proof comes from a recent NBC news story on the amazing growth many network marketing companies have seen recently. "With many sectors of our economy struggling, at least one seems to be flourishing: direct or home-based marketing."
Man, keep showing us the love, NBC! These two examples make clear what all of us here at Tru Chocolate know: network marketing can bring you great results!
Why?
Because it's Chocolate...
Because it is helping many people diet for Weight Loss and helping curb Childhood Obesity...
It's Organic and very healthy...
It's ok for people with Diabetes...
It's a great healthy snack for people who are very overweight...
Those are huge industries that are doing very well right now! Income Opportunities like this provide a second income for people who in a tough economic slump right now due to job consolidation and downsizing corporations.

10 Steps You Can Take To Slow Down Aging

March 17, 2010 - 4:05 pm

Aging is a complex process that involves many areas of your body. It's unlikely that any one product or pill could cure all of the ailments of aging. However, there are things you can do that not only will help you age more slowly but will improve your quality of life. Your best bet for a long and healthy life is to:
1. Eat a varied and healthy diet. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. Fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins all play a part in keeping your body functioning at its best. Drink lots of fluids to maintain healthy skin and flush out waste. Eating right will help you maintain a healthy weight.
2. Exercise every day. Exercise improves appetite, makes healthy bones, gives you a better emotional outlook and improves digestion and circulation. Exercise makes you stronger and helps you lose weight.
3. Seeking prompt medical care when you're ill or injured. Listen to your body and take care of any little problems before they become big problems. Get screened for diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
4. Use sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Professionals agree that one of the most significant factors contributing to aging is chronic inflammation of the skin.
5. Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Smoking has very damaging effects and dramatically increases your risk of getting cancer and heart disease.
6. Manage stress. Stress is a part of everyday life. Develop ways to help you cope and adjust to situations in your life that may cause you stress. The situation isn�t the problem�its how you react to it.
7. Look for ways to improve overall well-being and enthusiasm for life. Be curios and creative which will encourage you to learn new things. You can also use humor and laughter to help you age well and live long.
8. Keep strong relationships. Maintaining close ties to your family and friends are crucial to healthy aging.
9. Don�t let fears and worries dominate your life. A worried mind is not at peace and robs you of zest and energy which you need to maintain youthfulness.
10. Keep cells youthful with antioxidants. Antioxidants are found in a full-range of fruits and vegetables, as well as in some meat, like fish. Although, our bodies produce its own antioxidants, the level of product declines over time because of environmental factors and through the aging process. You can also take anti oxidant supplements or even anti oxidant teas.
Do all you can to be healthy and in doing so you will age slower. If you have any questions about products that claim to slow or reverse aging ask your doctor. He or she can help you sort through the information and get the facts.

Psychological Self-Improvement: Ways To Overcome Fear Starting Today!

January 23, 2010 - 6:10 am

Learn to Put YOU First
People are usually afraid of negative things. They are afraid of self-improvement because of this fear. Psychological self-improvement may help you in this situation.
In psychological self-improvement, The best way to remove this fear is to understand that life is always in the cycle of ups and downs. No one is permanently up or permanently down. Remember that no one can avoid these ups and downs even the most envied Hollywood stars.
What we should do about these downs is to learn from it and not to avoid it. We should learn how to handle our problems for our psychological self-improvement.
Problems affect us every day. These problems bring us misery due to the fact that we have feelings. We should never loose hope in figuring out solutions to these problems. All we need is to learn how to overcome it and not to be overcome.
Problems can never be overcome but we can learn from them. This is where Psychology plays an important role.
Psychologists say that we should always be careful in our decisions concerning our problems. We should handle our problems properly and learn how to deal with it. Learning from mistakes helps us in preparing ourselves for psychological self-improvement
There are a lot of myths about every event in our lives is due to pre-determined reason. Another belief says that what we encounter in our lives today is our preparation for other things that may come in our lives. To understand what may happen to us in the future, we must learn from the present.
With all that, it is also true that the unexpected can happen anytime. However, you should keep in mind that a psychological self-improvement is not always for the worse and consequently, you must never let go of a chance, because you are afraid to take the risk.
Remember that, from time to time, something has to happen in order to free you from monotony, so you shouldn�t be surprised if, at a certain moment in time, instead of being afraid of change, you desire it with all your heart.
If there are some things that hinder you from going on, here are some tips to help you move forward: Just think of the positive impacts results from the psychological self-improvement. Know important they are and reflect on how to increase them, by adding some other good aspects, which need certain assistance.
Try to picture somebody else in your situation, as picturing ourselves in a less desirable position, always looks more dramatic than it really is. If you realize that the other person can handle the change, you can be sure you�ll be able to handle it as well. This is a good psychological self-improvement.
Think of the worst situation that can result after the self-improvement. Try to find various solutions to it. Reflect on how much you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable solution, you are safe and the self-improvement can�t be stronger than you are!
Self-improvement is not bad at all. All we need is to learn how to handle some negative changes. We should also reflect from it to learn and use it in the future events that we may encounter. This could be your ultimate psychological self-improvement.

Importance in Having a Mentor for Your Business

January 07, 2010 - 6:27 am

Importance in Having a Mentor for Your Business

Having a Mentor in your business showing you what to do and what not to do is absolutely vital to your success.
I have seen so many internet home business fail because the person running the business comes to a dead end and has nobody to turn to for help. This happened to me personally and it cost me a lot of money in the process.
Why go in to a business blind folded when there are so many people out there making very good online income that are more than willing to help you run your business. It is a win-win situation because through getting the help from them you are actually helping them in the process.
Let me explain in a little more detail. I will use myself as an example. Like I said previously I have lost money in the past through making mistakes and quitting in an online business that I tried to run in 1998 from home. It was through lack of support that I blame for my failure. I simply didn�t have anyone to turn to, to ask for advice and help. The business at the time was all very new to me and when I didn�t see myself going forward I became very irritated and demoralized.
I wasn�t prepared to give up because I knew average people were making good income. I knew I just needed a guiding hand and be taught by someone who had seen all the pitfalls before and was an expert in online marketing.
Several years later I was doing my due diligence... I bumped into an old friend. He was earning on average $30,000-$40,000 a month with his online business. I saw the evidence with my own eyes. When I saw that he wanted to introduce me into his business and share exactly how he was making that amount of money monthly I was very excited but also I was very skeptical until he explained how helping me he was actually helping himself. It was a win-win scenario with absolutely no catches.
When I joined his business I wasn�t hundred percent sure it would work until he showed me exactly what to do and how implementing certain techniques would help my business. When the results started coming in after about six months I was totally amazed.
Don�t get me wrong it didn�t happen overnight and I would have definitely given up if I was doing it all on my own. What I needed was the reassurance that the system that my friend was teaching was going to work. If I was honest I didn�t really believe in the business until the penny dropped and that was when I started to see my income increase.
So clearly for me a Mentor was the answer to turning my business into a success. My friend gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in a business that at the start was very alien to me. I am now proud in the fact I make successes of other peoples businesses.
I can�t emphasize enough how it has been the difference between failure and success having my own Mentor.
I look forward to being your friend and helping you become very successful... just as my friends did for me. Talk to you soon!

Network Marketing is NOT Cut-Out For YOU...

December 21, 2009 - 10:32 am

Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Men?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Women?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Married People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Single People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Retired People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Stay-At-Home-Moms?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Broke People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Disabled People?
I know YOU are probably thinking... why in the world are you asking such STUPID Questions like that?
OK... the only reason was to get YOUR attention... it made YOU curious right? Yes, of course... YOU are reading this article right now... so congratulations, I'm glad YOU are here!
Network Marketing is for EVERYBODY!

Network Marketing is AWESOME for some people... but there are a lot of people who are struggling to make any money at all... in fact some people are losing lots of money. Really... Network Marketing is about spreading the word to other people about a product or a service you represent. Kind of like the last time you told a friend or a family member about a good movie you saw or a good restaurant you ate at. Even where you get your hair done or where you get your car fixed. Now ask your self this... how much money did you make for referring people to the movie or restaurant? Most likely... Nothing!
When you tell somebody about your car repair shop you go to... do you feel like your are shoving something down their throats or do you feel like you are sharing something of value?
Kind of funny how many people I talk too, that tell me they are NOT sales people. Then a couple minutes later, they asked me... "Hey Scott, did you see that New movie that came out on Sunday yet? Well, excuse me... but that's sales and everyone is a sales person.
Do you feel like you are selling something if you recommend a product or service that you use personally and feel that others may enjoy and benefit from?
Here's something to think about... when you are interviewing for a job or maybe you're trying to get someone to go on a date with YOU..., what do YOU call that? I call it selling. Selling Yourself!
Here is the point... YOU are NOT trying to Sell... YOU are telling someone YOU know, like and trust... about a product or service that YOU use and why YOU like it. You're Selling Yourself... here's what XYZ did for me and guess what? If you're interested in trying XYZ... I know where YOU can get XYZ.
Lets go back to the subject: Network Marketing is NOT Cut-Out For YOU.
YOU are already Marketing Something Everyday, but YOU are NOT getting paid for it... so why not get paid for something YOU already do everyday? Network Marketing has been around for over 100 years, as a matter of fact... there are more Millionaires from Network Marketing than any other industry in the world.
By the way... There are people who do NOT like Network Marketing. You've heard them right? That business is a pyramd... all them things online are scams... they have every excuse in the book why YOU shouldn't be doing Network Marketing. Have YOU heard of the 40-40-40 Plan? That's the person who worked 40 years, working 40 hours a week, and has $40 to their name when they retire. How many people do YOU know personally who retired Wealthy?
Are YOU ready to follow that same path as the 40-40-40 plan? or are YOU looking for something that can change all that? Something your family will enjoy as you get to spend more time with them and go on family vacations... something you don't need to get up every morning and fight rush-hour traffic to and from your 9-5 job... something you're already doing everyday anyway... Network Marketing is your answer to financial freedom.

Building a Business using Social Networking Sites

December 14, 2009 - 4:38 am

Google Captures about 33% of all daily internet traffic, while Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter capture a combined 44%

If you want to put your product or service or even business opportunity in front of all this traffic... it comes with a price, and I'm not talking about money like you can with Google Adwords. I'm talking your TIME, ENERGY, and FOCUS needed to build a presense in these sites.

You can pretty much set up a PPC Campaign and let it run on auto-pilot, but you can't build a presence in soial networking sites unless you visit often and interact with people. The results you get come from the time, energy and focus you put in.

Your income is going to be based on your activity... and remember, although it may be fun inter-acting with people in social networks... the entire point is to produce sales and make money with your business.

There is 2 ways to produce income directly

1) Sending someone an email or to your website to sell your product or service.
2) Calling someone and taking the order over the phone or helping them become a sales rep.

The biggest mistakes online marketers make is that they are always doing busy work.

You know who they are... they are always leaving comments, making new videos, updating their blogs, making new friends, etc, but they never make any money, because they never ask for the sale.

And sadly when they do... they mess it up or they waited to long and the sale went to someone else.

I can write a whole article just on social networking etiquette, but I want to focus this article more on how you spend your time each day in social networking sites and how to make money using these sites. How to take hours of busy work and turn that into 30-minutes of income producing activity.

These techniques will allow you to passively market your products or business in social networking sites and help build your SEO (search engine optimization) as well.

You will also be building a list... your own list of people who know, like and trust you.

Social Networking allows you to market online with the risk of violating your network marketing company's policies and procedures. There are many companies online that do NOT allow you to use their name or logo and you wonder "how am I going to do this business online if the company has so many strict policies", but with social networking sites... it's really not any different than walking next door and talking to your neighbor. We will show you exactly how to stay in compliance with any company you represent.

Plus, what I like is that you can take advantage of earning income from multiple streams of income. Understand that 95% of the people you meet in social networking sites, probably will not be interested in your products or your business, but what if you had other products or services that did appeal to them? Now you have a way to make money on the 95% of people that would have normally been a "NO Thank You".

One important thing we will be teaching you before we dig into social networking is to set up a WordPress Blog. There is several reasons we chose WordPress... 1) Because It's Free 2) Because it's Open-Source and there are so many different plugins available to integrate with many social networking sites. WordPress already has widgets to update Facebook, Twitter, and many more social networking sites already in place ready to use. Plus WordPress has many more SEO Plugins to help your blog get ranked on top of search engines. There is no better tool than WordPress to create your main hub for your business. It is easy to host a wordpress with blog articles and videos. Easily create optin forms to build your list. Plus your visitors can interact on your WordPress blog by leaving comments, which a normal website, you can not do.

A lot of people have blogs... but the difference between most blogs and the blogs we teach to set up is the layout. Most blogs are an informational piece... it mostly talks about your products and service... our blogs are a marketing piece, meaning your blogs will be totally different than everybody else's blogs.

Here's an overview of what we will be covering in our training:

1) Social Networking sites are for meeting people and building a list of people that follow you... NOT Selling! If you are trying to sell on social networking sites... you are messing up BIG TIME! The way most blogs are set up today... people come and people go! There is NO Sales Conversion, most blogs are not created for sales conversions. The way we set up blogs, your sales conversions will definately increase!
2) Your Blog Houses your content. It Sells YOU! Primary Purpose in blog is to capture their email address.
3) SEO - Your Blog will drive free passive traffic in time. Highly optimized for keywords you choose.

Your SUCCESS is in the Details!

Once this is set up correctly... your hub (your WordPress blog) will be the center of everything you do. All your social networking sites will be tied into this hub. This will save you TONS of time and help you become very efficient at what you do.

The most important part of all this is SEO... a major part of your traffic will come from people searching for your keywords.

With the layouts we teach you... your optin rates will soar and your list will grow daily. The main purpose of our new bog layout is to create leads and generate sales. That's how we make money online.

I will be updating this blog with more training on Build a Business with Social Networking Sites but if you're in a hurry to learn all this information fast... please click here: Build a Business Using Social Networking Sites

See Ya on the Social Networking Sites!

4 Tips To Increase Your Blog Readership Fast!

December 09, 2009 - 2:52 am

Aside from being a fun hobby, what is the point of having a blog? The answer is to draw readers. Whether you are selling advertising, a product, or just your own set of ideas, you want as large a readership as possible with most blogs. So if that is the case, then it is important to know how to draw readers to your blog. There are a number of ways to increase the readership of your blog. Here are four tips that will help you to increase your blog readership that are easy to do and will definitely pay off for you.

First of all, to increase readership you would want to increase the number of pages each reader is seeing. You don�t want to be judged only on your last post, but rather on the whole of your work. To that end, try highlighting related posts within your blog. At the end of an article, highlight posts that may be of interest to those who like the current post. Most blog platforms are fitted with plug-ins that will help you with this, but if they are not, then go ahead and at least list the links to other pages manually. Another similar idea is to highlight the related posts within the content of your post. If you are talking about a subject you have discussed before, link off of one of the keywords into the past post that is related. This will also help a past post to maintain its freshness.

A second tip for increasing your blog readership is to think about doing a series. A series is a great way to keep a reader coming back again and again. In addition, if you are linking back, you can get readers looking at multiple posts even after you are done with the series. Be careful when doing a series, because you do not want to frustrate readers. However, if you have a topic you genuinely think you should handle over a period of time, then a series can really help your overall readership. If you are curious as to whether or not a series is working for your blog, then check posts. See if readers are posting through the series to see if they are following you. If they are, then your series is a success and you are only helping your blog readership.

Another way to increase readership is a little more �controversial� if you will. You can try putting excerpts on the front page of your blog from certain posts. Many people claim it is just a way to get more hits on your site. The truth is that extra hits are a little side benefit of it, but the real value is that it can make your site more engaging. By adding excerpts to the front page you can manage the front and keep it fresh while also teasing those who get that far into reading more than just your most recent blog post. This will encourage a prospective reader to explore your blog site a little more than they may have normally. Again, you want to be judged by the whole of your work, or at least by a larger piece of your work than just one post and this will do that. If your writing is up to par, then, you will see a rise in your readership.

Finally, if you really want to build and increase readership, you have to have good quality content. It should be useful, original, and interesting to your target audience as well as keeping them wanting more of the same. The more you raise the quality of your blog�s content, the more you will see your membership, readership, and page hits go up without even having to use any other �tricks.� People know what they like and they like quality for the most part. Giving the readers what they are after is probably the best way possible to increase your blog readership.

Having a blog can not only be fun, but if you are doing it right it can also be profitable. Either way, though, you want to maintain and increase a following, or readership. There are as many tips out there to increase blog readership as there are blogs, but to really get things going, consider using these four tips. Follow them and you will see your readership grow.

SEO Tips for Blog Traffic Generation

December 08, 2009 - 8:34 am
SEO Tips for Blog Traffic Generation While it may be true to say content is king when it comes to blog traffic, the truth is that writing your blog content is not the only thing that you should be focusing on when it comes to attracting more followers. Quality SEO, or search engine optimization, is an important aspect of attracting a blog following as well. If you do not implement quality SEO on your blog, then your blog is going to remain as a well kept secret, where it would be all content and very little readerships.

Many bloggers may not be aware of it, but when it comes to tips for blog traffic, there are actually a number of SEO tips that are going to come in handy, allowing you to turn any ordinary blog into a site that is highly trafficked.

Strategic Keyword Placement -

Search engines like Google as well as Yahoo are ranking websites based on strategically placed keywords.

Your title tag should incorporate your primary keyword in it in order to be ranked higher in search engines.

The heading tags in your content are also crawled, meaning that your headers should also feature your top keywords as often as possible.

While the images on your blog will be ignored by the search engines, the text descriptions that you use for your images will not be. Make sure that you use keywords in your ALT tags describing the images in your blog posts.

When linking to other pages in your blog or to other websites, make sure that you use keyword-rich links because search engine spiders pay particular attention to the keywords that you use in your links.

Make sure that you are achieving the right keyword count to preserve density of keywords. You should have a keyword density of about 3% for each of the content pieces that you write. Any more than this could be annoying to your readers, and any less will not impress the search engines that spider your blog posts.

Incorporate as many keyword synonyms as you can as search engines are friendly toward them. Use synonyms for your most important keywords to limit the monotony in your keyword usage while optimizing your blog site further.

Linking to Obtain Ranking -

Establish quality links in your blog, especially links that are incoming from other websites. When you get competitor sites to link to you, this builds more authority for your blog in the eyes of the search engines. Try to get your site listed on other websites in your niche as well as directories and similar sites for more authority.

Search Engine Algorithms -

Different search engines are going to index and rank different websites based on unique algorithms. Most SEO tips for blog traffic are going to be common among all search engines but Google has its own unique algorithm that allows it to favor additional SEO tips as well, including sitemaps which are used to index websites and blogs. Using a robots.txt file is another popular methodology that will help you tell search engines what part of your website you want indexed and do not want indexed.

Prosperity Rising Generates More Traffic to Your Website

November 28, 2009 - 12:02 pm

Prosperity Rising Generates More Traffic to Your Website

Prosperity Rising is a new site that says it guarantees more web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. More importantly, it promises higher CONVERSIONS... signups and sales. So I decided to put it to the test...

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless... they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive... I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads... the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into Prosperity Rising links.

You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Prosperity Rising Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical wa... links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!

After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Prosperity Rising link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Prosperity Rising link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Prosperity Rising. So if anyone clicks the Prosperity Rising image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Prosperity Rising links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally... meaning as you make referrals into Prosperity Rising (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Prosperity Rising image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Prosperity Rising also.

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed andProsperity Rising even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all... downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Prosperity Rising really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Prosperity Rising. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

How to Find Good Keywords

Anyone can pick out related keywords to rank their websites for. However, it�s the crafty webmaster who knows how to find multiple keyword goldmines among the thousands of possibilities available.

One popular approach is called the �long tail�. In this approach you go after three word + phrases in hopes of having less competition. The main problem with this approach is that there is a second aspect of it that most people neglect. The second and most important part of the �long tail� approach is that with longer, more targeted phrases you are more apt to directly meet the needs of the user. While that may seem obvious, many people ignore or poorly execute it. That�s because they don�t understand the importance of their client�s purchase cycle as it relates to search engines.

The Purchase Cycle:

The very first thing you need to understand before starting keyword research is the �Purchase Cycle�. Its main steps are:

Attention > Interest > Desire > and Action.

Finding tons of low competing yet high converting keywords is as simple as understanding your customer�s buying habits. When they are in the action stage you will want to be there with them.

Let me give you some examples. Let�s imagine you are a new Real Estate Agent in the crowded but profitable Los Angeles Real estate market. You have had a site up for almost 6 months, have done a little SEO but have gotten almost no traffic and not a single lead from your site. The problem is more than likely the phrases you are going after. Everyone will be competing in the SERP�s for obvious terms like �Los Angeles Real Estate�. Now there is nothing wrong with competing for the best phrases, however this guide is all about training you to look at the areas your competition has ignored, and are at the end of the buying cycle. Trust me, great opportunities are available in every single market.

Think Like Your Customer

Imagine yourself as a customer who is using Google to find or sell real estate in Los Angeles. A typical search may go something like this.

Search Term: 1 �Real estate� (hmm too broad what was I thinking?)
Search Term: 2 �Los Angeles real estate� (Lots of options maybe I need a local agent?)
Search Term: 3 �Real estate agent in Los Angeles� BINGO!!! If you are a real estate agent in Los Angeles this should be one of your many keyword goldmines.

Now let me show you how the competition for rankings in Google has diminished as the customer got more and more refined with their search. I want you to see just how ripe the opportunity is when you understand the process your customers go through.

To get a good feel for the level of competition for a phrase one simple but highly important SEO factor is the Title tag. Using Google we can easily see how many sites have the exact search phrase we are using, as the title tag to their website. This is a great initial gauge of the competition you will face.

The command I use in Google is intitle:"real estate" (returns results with the exact phrase "real estate" in the title tag).

Diminished Competition

intitle:"real estate" Over 59 Million Pages Retuned
intitle:"Los Angeles real estate" Down to 25,000 Pages Returned
intitle:"Real estate agent in Los Angeles" 57 Results and only 7 Domains listed!!!
This high conversion keyword is just sitting there waiting for you �our new real estate agent� to rank for it. If you do the proper SEO work and point a few quality links to the page then you should begin to see highly qualified traffic.

Let me give you one more example and then we will move on. Let�s say you sell high-end condos right on the beach in Hawaii, which by the way is where I call home (Its OK to feel sorry for me). The competition for the condo market in Hawaii is very stiff and any little edge you can get is extremely helpful. Again all you have to do is understand how a potential customer searches and know your own product to find those keyword gems.

Results:

Search 1: �Hawaii Condos� intitle � 11,100 pages
Search 2: �Hawaii Condo Rental� intitle � 147 pages (Great action phrase)
Search 3: �Hawaii beach front condo� intitle � 0 pages!!!

I could literally go on and on finding great marketing opportunities for these two markets. I promise you if you spend the time you will find these all-too-easy keyword treasures in your market as well. Now let�s take what we have learned to the next level with action phrases.

Make Use Of Action Words

Ok let�s say you sell the latest PC video cards at great prices. You have done your homework and realize that many consumers do extensive research on specific video cards to find the one that�s perfect for them. They then lookup the specific model of the video card they want when they are in �purchase mode�.

A popular video card series right now is Nvidia�s Geforce 6800. However, when you do an intitle: search on Google you get over 40,000 results for �Nvidia Geforce 6800�. This is where Action words come in handy. Some great action words are Buy, Lowest price, Purchase, Free shipping etc. All of these words are used when the customer is in the purchasing phase, which is exactly when you need them to find you.

intitle:"Buy nvidia geforce 6800" 3 sites!!!
intitle:"Purchase nvidia geforce 6800" 0 sites!!!
intitle:"Lowest price nvidia geforce 6800" 0 sites!!!

You get the idea. Now that you understand the concept I can suggest a few keyword research tools.

Now let�s put you on a path to find 20 to 40 money keywords you are not currently using

Keyword Research Steps:

Step 1 - Logs: One great asset that you may not be utilizing is your weblogs. You should always mine your weblogs for niche keyword phrases and use them as a basis for what type of searches your users are typing into search engines. If you have not done this before it can be highly informative. You will not only understand your audience better � you will also get a great variety of keyword �goldmines� that you can then use for your organice SEO campaign. I suggest doing this once a month or every two weeks if you can find the time.

Step 2 - Competition: Your competition can be a great source of keyword research. Check the keywords in their Title, meta tags, and body text to see if you find anything you might have missed.

Step 3 � Keyword Tools: Three free tools that you should check out are SEO Books online keyword tool http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/ and http://www.goodkeywords.com/ which is a free desktop download that runs off of Yahoo data and http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ which queries both Yahoo and http://www.wordtracker.com/ (A top tool if your paying) . All three of these tools are very handy and for the price�who can complain?

A word to the wise, these tools should only be used as guides. They are heavily biased to PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising and are subject to distortion due to automated queries.

The main thing to look out for with any tool that uses Yahoo is that it does not separate plurals. It shows Condo and Condos as the same results. So when you are doing your research be sure to check out the Word Tracker tool over at digital point because the MSN version will show you how a phrase does for singular versus a plural version. While search engines are still ironing out how they handle plural searches its highly important that you select the right one. Sometimes you may choose to go after a less used plural or singular version of a keyword because it has less competition.

Bonus 1: Don�t forget about hyphenated or potentially hyphenated words. If you are looking at a term like �increase online traffic" don�t forget hyphenated versions of the same phrase. According to Word Tracker "increase on-line traffic" is searched for 186 times a day on MSN alone. The non hyphenated version has over 1,000 pages listed for an intitle: search on Google. While the hyphenated version only has 21 sites listed.

Bonus 2: Use slang or insider terminology when and where it makes sense. One great example of that is locally here in Hawaii. Locals call the main island of Hawaii the �Big Island� A term like �big island real estate� is typed in a few thousand times per month. But according to Google only one site has the phrase in their title!!!

Bonus 3: People often type keyword phrases as one word. So instead of typing in �Hawaii Condos�, they�ll type in �hawaiicondos�. Then engines serve different results for these 2 phrases, and guess what � the kwkw version is usually a LOT less competitive!

I must mention that just because you find great keywords that others are not using in their title tags does not mean you can simply put in a new title and rank. In some cases that will actually happen but in most you will need to do a good job with your on-page SEO and acquire a few relevant links. In any case you will be putting yourself in a great position to be successful with minimal competition and maximum return on investment.

I hope that I have helped to get your mind churning about the endless possibilities in your own local market. If you follow these steps you should be able to quickly generate a wonderful new list of keywords for your site to dominate the �Action� phase of the purchase cycle. Once you place your site at the end of the purchase cycle and away from the hordes of competition it is quite easy to strike keyword Gold.

To Your Success,

If you're like most webmasters, you're always looking for ways to get links to your site. Of course, if they're one way links, all the better! Well, submitting your site to directories not only offers you one ways, you can get them for free.

If you follow a few rules when submitting your site to various directories, you'll greatly increase the number of directories that accept your link, so increasing the number of links you get.

Many directories publish a comprehensive list of rules for submitting to their site, but here are a few general rules that will put you in good stead.

1 � No promotional language � avoid promotion type language in your title and description. Avoid things like �click here� �save big�, etc.

2 - Don't keyword stuff � While you want your keywords in your title and description as possible, don't stuff them with your keyword. You want it to look official and natural.

3 � Give valid contact info � When you submit your listing, use yourreal name and email address. It will greatly increase your chances of acceptance.

4 � Submit to the deepest relevant category � Don't submit to a main category unless there is not a subcategory that fits your site. For examle, google.com should be submitted to Computers > Internet > Search > Search Engines, not just to the Computers category

5 � Site guidelines � in general, directories will only accept unique, content rich sites. Most directories will not accept Adsense sites, scraper sites, doorway pages, etc.

6 � Submit your homepage � Don't submit sub-pages unless the directory states you may � most directories will deny sub-page listings.

Bonus tip � Here's a way to greatly speed up your directory submissions. Use a form fill plug in for your browser that automatically fills in your url, title, description, etc. I use and recommend RoboForm.

Here's a Great Place to Submit Your Site: http://www.placefreeadshere.com/specialoffer.html

Email Etiquette � More Than Just Manners

October 18, 2009 - 2:19 am
We all understand the importance of good �people skills� when it comes to our interpersonal communication � it helps us get the results we need. Our communication determines the opinion others have of us � knowledgeable or ignorant, pleasant or rude, professional or immature. Most of the time this is in face-to-face or telephone conversations where we have some control over the impression we make on others.

When it comes to netiquette (Network Etiquette), it�s not as easy...

We all understand the importance of good �people skills� when it comes to our interpersonal communication � it helps us get the results we need. Our communication determines the opinion others have of us � knowledgeable or ignorant, pleasant or rude, professional or immature. Most of the time this is in face-to-face or telephone conversations where we have some control over the impression we make on others.

When it comes to netiquette (Network Etiquette), it�s not as easy to control how others perceive us, and yet it�s even more important. Why? Because what you write and how you use email can affect whether your email gets delivered, read, or responded to � and what that response is! In addition, there are numerous �technology traps� that are easy to fall into. Have you ever seen someone accidentally send an angry or sensitive response to a huge group of people by using the �Reply All� key?

And before you say to yourself "I already know" and stop reading this article, realize that every single one of us could benefit from a few simple reminders on the proper use of email, not just from a personal view but also from a business standpoint. If you're doing business on the internet � and using email to communicate with your customers � then this article is a must read for you! You may already know many of these tips, but even the most experienced user will find a few rules you were not aware of or have fallen into the habit of breaking.

Think, write, and think again.

Email is a static, one-way channel � unlike live communication, there�s no way to get immediate feedback (from facial expressions or voice responses) to know if we are being effective or even understood. So think twice before hitting the send key. Is there ANY chance that the recipient might misinterpret what you want them to understand? Do your thoughts come across as abrupt or angry? Could this email accidentally affect your reputation? The hastily written word may lack feelings and the true emotion you intended. You might be smiling as you type, but your note could come across as sarcastic or mean-spirited. Remember � there�s a person on the other end, not just a computer.

Use a meaningful subject line.

This is the first thing your reader will see, so use the space to help them understand the contents of the email even before they open it. Using the same rule from above, type in a subject that relates to the message you're sending, rather than leaving the subject blank. Without a subject line your note will probably be seen as another piece of junk mail � not everyone will recognize who you are just from your email address. Many internet service providers (ISP�s) filter out suspicious looking email, and a blank subject is a big red flag. Also, try to avoid generic words like "Hi" or "Check This Out" to avoid having the recipients spam or virus software delete your message!

The beginning, and the end.

Always use a salutation, even if it�s short. Start your message with "Hi", or "Hello", or "Dear", whatever works best for the intended recipient, and whatever reflects your personality. Think about this: when you call someone on the telephone, don't you say "Hello" before telling them what you want? Email messages should be no different. At a minimum, address the email to the person.

Don't forget the end of your message too! Always sign your messages with your name, and say "Thank You", or "Sincerely", or something else appropriate. You can even setup a signature in your email program that will automatically display your information at the bottom of every email message you send. For directions, use your email programs help file and do a search for signature.

Protect your recipient�s identity � use �To:�, �CC:� and �BC:� properly. There are a few simple netiquette rules for using the address fields in email.

If your email is being sent to just one person or email address, place it in the "To:" field. This should be the person who is responsible for sending you a reply.

When your email is being sent to more than one person and all the recipients truly need to know who else is receiving it, put all the addresses in the �CC:� field.

For email sent to multiple recipients who have no real reason to know the names and email addresses of everyone else to whom it is being sent, put all the addresses in the �BCC:� field.

(Some email software requires at least one address to be placed in the �To:� field. Put your own email address in the �To:� section if this is required.)

By default, not every email program has the BCC field available for viewing. If you cannot see the Bcc field in your program, check your programs help file for directions.

Give memory a helping hand.

When replying to emails, include a copy of the prior notes you�ve traded with the person on the topic, don't just send a new one. I may receive 50 emails a day that need a reply and it�s not always possible to remember every single 'conversation' with every single person. Please don�t make your reader go looking through their �sent items� folder or email �recycle bin� to refresh their memory!

Use the �Read Receipt� sparingly.

In some cases, it's crucial for both parties to know that a message was received. However, in normal day-to-day activities you should not request a read receipt for every single message you send. It's annoying to the recipient to have to click that pop up box every time they get your email. And it is an invasion of privacy. Don't forget � just because they have received it doesn't mean they have necessarily read it, so receiving a read receipt doesn't actually prove anything other than that the message was received. And for day to day communications, is that really necessary?

URGENT!

The boy who cried wolf. Do not send all your messages as URGENT, or HIGH PRIORITY. If your recipients keep receiving messages marked that way, then eventually the red exclamation point loses it's effectiveness � except to reinforce how important YOU think you are. Reserve these messages for those that are of utmost importance!

Avoid special formatting.

For your day-to-day message s, don't use colored email backgrounds, colored fonts, special fonts, images or other "pretty" type of formatting to your messages. Keep them clean � this makes it easier for the intended recipient to read them and reply. It's best to send messages in plain text to ensure everyone will be able to read them, since not everyone has their email set to receive html emails. You would be amazed at how bad your note may look to someone viewing their email on a handheld device or an older computer. By keeping your emails clean, they will also load much faster for the recipient!

Don�t SHOUT!

If you type in all ca pital letters, your reader will see this as yelling, or they will think that you were just too lazy to use proper text formatting. It�s also hard on the eyes � did you know that it takes longer to read something written in all caps than it does to read something that is properly formatted?

Proof, spell-check, and use proper formatting.

Poor writing skills are a direct reflection on you! And the reader never forgets the person who writes an undecipherable message. Spell checking will prevent most misspelled words, but you should always proof your email in case you've written the incorrect word (that was spelled correctly). For example, month and moth, where and were, all look correct to a spell-check program. Use proper capitalization, punctuation and formatting. Break your paragraphs when the subject changes, or if they become too long. Don't use excessive formatting (too much bold, too many exclamation points and question marks, etc.) Too much of anything will make your message harder to read. You want to make your message easily readable, as well as understandable. Proofread it to ensure it make sense, and never assume the reader knows what you mean, always spell it out for them. The time it takes to proof and spell check is minimal compared to the lasting impression you will make if you don't take the time.

Take the time to send a reply.

Even when someone emails you something that doesn't need a direct response, follow up with them in a timely manner just to let them know you received their message. It�s amazing how often people will ask for advice, and not even reply with a short �Thank you� when they receive their answer. A simple message telling the sender is sufficient. And this lets them know you did receive it, that it didn't just get stuck in cyberspace somewhere.

If they didn't request it, don't send it! No matter what you think may be acceptable, you cannot email someone about your product/service without their permission. Unless they request that you send them an email, or you have previously done business with them, then it is illegal to send them an email, period. Any recipient can easily forward your email to their ISP and report you for sending unsolicited email messages (SPAM).

This report would result in the immediate removal of all your websites/email address from most servers. You would then join a list of �prohibited senders� meaning that servers would not allow any messages attached to your domain name to be received by their customers - the people you are sending your messages to.

You might be thinking, �but I get emails every day about products/services that I didn't request information about.� Sending unsolicited email messages (SPAM), is kind of like speeding. Lot's of people do it, but it is against the law, and no matter how long you may get away with it, you are bound to get caught!

Compress, Compress, Compress!

If you are sending an email with several large attachments, it is often better to send them in a few separate emails, so that you don�t send a document that is too large to even open. Or, you can try compressing your messages into a zipped file. It doesn�t reduce the size of images or pictures very much, but it works great for text, spreadsheet and program files. This is very easy to do, and will make your file size much smaller, and make the recipient much happier. Check out www.winzip.com (for those on pc).

Hoaxes as helpful hints.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Do not forward everything that gets sent to you. We've all seen them � the chain-letter emails that promise if you forward to x number of people you'll get paid, or you'll win something, or you will be lucky forever. It's all a hoax, a scam, and the only result is huge numbers of email transmissions that slow down servers all across the country. If you receive one of these emails from a friend, reply to them (in a very nice way) and explain to them why this isn't true, or ask them to stop forwarding them to you.

Virus, or virus advice?

Many viruses are spread by email masquerading as warnings about � a virus! If someone forwards you a virus warning, which usually contains instructions for removing a virus from your computer... check google.com for that virus BEFORE doing anything. Chances are, it's also a hoax, and if you do remove that "bad file" from your computer, you're actually removing a necessary component crucial to your system!

Wow, that was a lot of information to take in at one time, but I congratulate you for sticking it out and reading the entire article. Please share it with your family, friends and colleagues.

How to use Facebook and other Social Networking site to Build your Home Business

October 14, 2009 - 4:26 pm

Social Networking has always been a passion of mine in the internet and meeting new people is always a lot of fun. Facebook is just one of my personal favorite Social Networks and I like to train people how to build any business using Facebook.

Learn How to Take Facebook or Your Social Networking to the next level

Some people feel frustrated when social networking doesn't bring them a lot of business. In this article, I discuss some tips that can help change their approach to it.

One of the issues I run into with social networking is that most of the businesses who have heard about social networking are focused on it primarily as a way of getting business. And when they don't get business right away they get disheartened and feel that social networking isn't working for them. Or they decide right away to use social networking as a way to advertise their business, but don't really engage the audience.

Social media consultants, in the meantime, stress authenticity and genuine engagement, but also again focus primarily on how social networking will provide more business to a business. In fact, it seems that what social networking really boils down to is finding ways to get business from other people on Facebook and other social networking sites, while disguising that by being "genuine" and "authentic", whatever that might mean.

There's a key element missing from all the hype on social networking, and it actually pertains to the word networking. What's missing is that people on social networking sites are so focused on trying to get business from social networks that they are ignoring the concept of networking and how that applies to social networking. In other words, they primarily treat social networking as a feed, where they get lots of clients, but don't care as much about the networking aspects involved.

It's certainly true that social networking can be used to market your services and products to other people, but if we only focus on that, and ignore the networking aspect of social networking, we're not fully utilizing social networking sites. So how does networking apply to social networking? First, social networks like Facebook connect you with people you either know or are interested in getting to know. Second, as you get to know people and discover what their needs are, or discover what someone in their network needs, this can pave the way toward you helping them. Sometimes how you will help them simply involves referring them to someone else who you know is qualified to help them. With that concept of networking in mind for social networking, the following tips are meant to help you take your social networking to the next level.

1. Comment on what other people post or tweet about. If you want to network with people, you need to interact with them. Spend some time commenting on other people's news, tweets, and posts. By doing so, you show you are interested in them, and you can even portray yourself as a resource they can draw on, if they need to. Additionally, this lets them get to know you as well, and you may seem more interaction when you post as a result.

2. Pay attention to what people need. A lot of people will post about something they need or a situation they are in. If they do so, try to think of who you know in your network that you can connect them to and then send a private message offering to connect the people. This is a good way to be helpful and will help not just the person in need, but also anyone you direct them to. Additionally, this shows that you are paying attention to what people are posting about and helping them out, even if it doesn't bring you a profit. Conversely, don't be afraid to post about what you need. I've gotten some great responses from people, when I've asked questions about something I wanted to know about.

3. Post about some interests or fun facts. While people may not necessarily want to know about what you ate for dinner (unless you include a link to the recipe), they may find it interesting to learn about the latest book you're reading or a fun hobby you do, because it shows them that you have more going in your life than just business. It creates opportunities for interaction, lets people in, and the conversation can sometimes take you into some useful directions for your business, while also creating enough of a personal connection that people find you interesting to follow.

4. Think of people you can connect to each other, based on mutual interests. I always really appreciate it when people connect me to other people that share similar interests. I also appreciate it when people connect me to someone who might need my services. When you first start following someone, ask them who they'd like to be connected to, or after you've read some of their posts and tweets, think about someone you could connect them with. By making those connections you can help people develop a strong network of referrers and possible clients, which is always appreciated.

5. Don't come to Facebook or other social networking sites with an expectation that you'll automatically get business. This last tip is probably the most important. If you come on to social networks only looking to get business, this will become apparent to people fairly quick and will ultimately alienate you from them. Treat people as people, not potential clients or customers you want money from. I'm not saying you'll never get business from social networking sites. I've gotten business from social networking sites, but it's taken time and a willingness to get to know people and not perceive them from the getgo as potential marks or clients I can get income from. And that's exactly what you need to remember. Don't go with a specific objective of getting business. Sign up and join in because you want to share some information and learn from other people. Continue participating on a regular basis and let people continue to get to know you. And eventually you might get some business with people you know and will actually take care of, because you know them.

Social networking is still networking. If we remember that and approach it as a networking activity, we will actually get much further with it, than if we are just trying to get business from it. People want to be treated like people and communities want to feel like they are engaged with, as opposed to sold to. Keep the above tips in mind, and you'll create a strong online network that supports you, even as your in-person network does the same.

Hope You enjoyed the article about using Facebook and other Social Networking sites to Build Your Home Based Business...

10 Powerful Tips for Newbie on Internet

October 11, 2009 - 4:19 pm
Stepping out into the Internet Marketing arena can be a daunting task for the newbie internet business entrepreneur. Here we outline 10 of the most important points to remember before you begin your first campaign.

For the newbie Internet business entrepreneur, here are the 10 most powerful unwritten rules that may well prevent you from 'skidding into the ditch'. Make a point of reading through them monthly and remain focused on the road ahead!

1. First and foremost, Lets look at the advantages of creating and building an online income. Our place of work is open for business 24/7 so we can work when we want and for as long as we want. Many of our regular duties can be run on auto-pilot leaving us with more time for family, social and leisure activities. This situation offers a less stressful working environment, and to a certain extent we are in control of your own rewards. However, it is important to remember that there are few 'Get-Rich-Quick' schemes on the Internet. Look upon it in much the same way as you would if you were creating an offline business, which, in order to be sucessful, requires commitment and a positive attitude right from the offset, with scant reward in the early days.

2. Whilst it is important to have your mindset focused on a full-time successful online business, it is useful, especially early in your Internet career, as part of the learning curve, to try out a few programs in your spare time. Get the feel of the Internet marketing arena and at the same time learn a little about HTML, Scripts, creating attractive images and even building your first website! This can all be achieved as a 'spare time' sctivity. Don't sack your boss till you have the confidence in your complete ability to earn regular income. There may be a lot to learn but, trust me, if you're focused, it will be worth the effort.

3. NEVER.. get involved in 'get paid to read email' sites, they are scams and you wont earn a penny, and they won't answer your emails of complaint! MLM too, or in fact any website telling you that your money will be doubled or trebled in a matter of days, or you will become rich overnight, are scams. Avoid them!! It's not difficult to find bona fide traders on the Internet. Look for offline contact points. An address or telephone number is a good sign they are genuine. Another good test is to send them an email before you sign up to see how efficiently they reply. Avoid the 'Get-Rich-Quick' schemes. They don't work!

4. Imagine you discovered a method of earning huge amounts of money on the Internet. Would you then offer to tell everyone about your 'secret formula'? I don't think so! You will no doubt come across those who will try to convince you they have found such a recipe, and no doubt offer to share it with you. Believe me it will cost you, not just financially but in wasted time too. Always shy away when you see the word 'Secrets', or see boasts of huge income!

5. Similarly, ask yourself this.. would a guy who says he's earning several million dollars a year, bother to write and market an eBook describing how he did it? I think not! Go with your first instincs, they are usually quite accurate!

6. Dont pay too much attention to images of earnings checks or bank statements purportedly demonstrating how much the account-holder has earned, It is a simple task to create whatever you want with a little creativity. The same goes for letters of recommendation or testimonials. Anyone can write them or get their collegues to do so! They may con some, but don't let it be you!

7. Think positive and stay focused at all times. If you were to take a close look at all the successful Internet marketers, who have made a great deal of money from their endeavours, you would find they have one thing in common! Dedication!! They are prepared to work hard and long to achieve their goals. They do not lose heart if everything doesnt come together today, and they are rarely influenced by the 'quick buck'. I cannot stress this point often enough to you...

8. Be organised! Keep all your business activities logged and documents filed in the correct folders. Check your email accounts at least daily and file the important ones. Dont be frightened to name a file or folder with a long name (within reason). You should be able to access any file, folder, software or email within 30 seconds. So much time can be saved with a tidy desktop!

9. Stick to the basic etiquette of Internet Marketing. Don't be tempted to send out high volume unsolicited email (spam). It won't be worth the hassle believe me! Read the Terms and conditions section when you join a program and if you decide to sign up.. then adhere to those terms. You will make useful contacts during your Internet campaigns. Try not to 'stand on toes'

10. Avoid leaving large amounts of funding in any online marketing or promotion website! Most websites have a strict policy on spamming and if you are ever accused (rightly or wrongly) of sending unsolicited emails, you are likely to have your account closed, which could result in you losing your funding too!

So that's it! Not a set of rules... more a collection of simple guidelines which, if applied, will serve to make your Internet Marketing experience a safer and more enjoyable journey!

The Middle Class is being Attacked!

October 05, 2009 - 12:31 am
The Middle class is being attacked!

The trend is firmly entrenched with the outsourcing of good paying jobs.

White collar jobs (IE: It services, software design, engineering, etc.), support and call centers, banks customer support, airlines phone sales counters, etc. going to India and other similar countries

Good paying blue caller jobs in the US are declining with manufacturing moving to China, Mexico and other countries.

At home jobs like construction, landscaping, farm labor, hotel services, etc. are being filled by illegal aliens.

So where does that leave us? In the middle fighting to maintain our life style.

Gas prices are soaring. The cost of living is on the rise. The value of the US dollar is dropping. Most of us in the middle class are burdened by crushing debt. And to make it worse we are being attacked from all sides!

We can blame ourselves. When was the last time you went shopping for clothes? Did you check the labels? Everything is from China, not the USA like it was not so long ago. And I bet you pay for everything with your credit cards.

Speaking of credit cards, we are guilty of buying ourselves into debt. This is part of the problem. Your home, your auto, your boat, etc. are all owned by the bank and you make payments every month from your shaky income to maintain this debt. By the way, if you own your home it is not an asset unless you are renting it out and not living in it, and if you are refinancing your home as the equity increases to pay off debt, you are following the fool's pursuit.

Even though the United States has the most advanced medical industry in the world, it is expensive and medical insurance for the average family of four is over $1000 over month. But nationalizing our health care is not the answer.

And you can bet that taxes will rise considerably if the Democrats take control the presidency as well as the house, and you are the one the taxes will rise for.

And as taxes rise you can also expect the local job market will shrink as well.

So what are you going to do?

The rich (anyone making over $500,000 per year) will hardly be effected. There is a reason for this.

The rich do things differently than the poor and middle class do, and you don't have to be rich to learn what they do, and by learning and applying this new mind set. you will find yourself gaining the same advantages they do and actually begin to build wealth instead of debt.

Find out why the rich pay far less taxes, how they make their money work for them instead of working for money. How they protect their assets and build additional wealth. When you discover these principle and apply them to your life, you will see your life and finances make a major turn for the better. When these principles are applied you will no longer fear for your job.

By joining The Business Leaders Team, you will have access to this information and learn how to apply it to your particular situation.

Home Business Marketing Tips - Email Marketing

September 30, 2009 - 11:33 pm
With all Home Businesses... YOU MUST learn How To Establish Yourself As An Authority and Create Credibility through Your Emails!

You pass by people every day on the street and most likely they are nothing special right? I mean... the second you walk by them, you probably do not think back and remember that person unless they had a really weird Pink Hat or they did something out of the ordinary that caught your attention. Now think about this same nobody person that you sat next to on the bus this morning is the person giving the lecture at the important meeting you are at later in the day. This person has a wealth of knowledge and is surrounded with very important well-known people. What is your reaction? I can only imagine that you suddenly developed much respect for that person?

This is the same scenario you can bring into your home business marketing. Establishing yourself as an authority in your Work at Home Business and teaming up with like-minded marketing experts and Home Business Marketing Coaches will give you credibility.

For example: when you are talking about making money online using Facebook, you must let your subscribers know about your credibility either before or after they opt-in to your mailing list.

Here are a few tips on establishing your credibility:

1. Talk about your experiences online and offline. If you�ve run an offline business before, use it to establish your credibility as a business builder. If you�ve been in sales and marketing before, use it to establish your credibility as a copywriter.

2. Show them screen shots of how much money you�ve made online (or checks you�ve earned). If you don�t have any of these, use photos of well-known marketers you�ve taken pictures with (example: look, here is my picture taken with... at...)

3. Let others tell the story. It would be better to let others sing your praises � especially in the form of testimonials.

Use e-courses To Build Credibility Over Time

People may not be impressed at the first glance. Sometimes, it takes a few emails for people to recognize your capabilities.

One of the ways you can build your credibility over time is to write an e-course or a newsletter that will be sent to your subscribers over a period of days or weeks. It must be something educational � something that will establish you as an expert on the subject. This will also build up your trust and begin a relationship with that person.
Remember: Home Business Marketing is all about Building Relationships. People like to do business with people they know, like, and trust. As they begin to recieve your emails... they will definately get to know you and hopefully start to like the emails and information you are sending them and trust that future emails will continue to be as good and informative. You will become the expert and as a result... you'll find they will become very interested in your home businesses.

You can configure your autoresponder to send an e-course once everyday, every two days or a weekly newsletter. So long as the subscriber reads your educational material over a period of time, you can slowly work your way into the heart of your subscriber and stamp a firm impression in their minds.

Email marketing with a reputable name such as Aweber, remains one of the very easy ways of making impression on your subscribers. Using email marketing you can easily carve yourself in the minds of your subscribers and your Home Business Marketing will become very Successful!

To Your Success,
