Some cool networking sites

2005-08-14T21:00:00.000-05:00

I have been taking a look at networking sites to help me met some people in the business community. I have signed up with a few to see which one will benefit me the most.

Ryze Business Networking
Hi5
Multiply.com
MySpace

I think they are all pretty cool, but the one I think will help me more with business is Ryze.com. I will be reviewing these networking sites some more at another time.

Here is another good site as a little bonus. 43things.com will sure help you keep up with your to-do list.

Another new business

2005-08-14T20:14:00.000-05:00

It has been quite some time since my last post. Probably a few weeks. I have been pretty consumed with trying to research different money making opportunities in addition to what I am already doing, which is quite a lot I guess. Anyway, I decided that in order for me to find something it had to have certain characteristics. It had to be simple, free to start (I am wasting any more money on schemes), be a product that is in need, and pay out well. These are things that are congruent with my current endeavors.
So here is what I found. I am going after the VOIP market because I believe it is a great market for the future. Check it out here. You can save a great deal of money using your high speed internet service and companies such as Vonage, Lingo and Packet8.

Achilles tendonitis

2005-07-07T09:07:00.000-05:00

Achilles tendonitis is a painful and often debilitating inflammation of the Achilles tendon, also called the heel cord. The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It is located in the back of the lower leg, attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus), and connects the leg muscles to the foot. The Achilles tendon gives us the ability to rise up on our toes, facilitating the act of walking, and Achilles tendonitis can make walking almost impossible.

Recognizing General Anxiety Disorder

2005-07-06T22:12:00.000-05:00

As I drove down the dreary road on my way home from a hard and challenging day at work I suddenly had a feeling come over me. It was one I have felt before. My chest grew tight, I started to sweat, as before my head then began to ache. I could not think straight. I was getting an anxiety attack. But why? Unfortunately I could not and still can't pin point what specifically could have triggered this. Frustrating? Yes, it sure is.
Many people have felt this way and suffer from anxiety disorders. Does not make us different than anyone else.

Here is an article from Forbes.com about what I have illustrated above:

Health Tip: Recognizing Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Angela Meadows
(HealthDay News) -- Are you constantly worrying about your health, finances, family or career?
If you've spent at least six months fretting excessively about a number of everyday problems, you may be experiencing Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), says the National Institute of Mental Health. It's a condition that affects about 4 million American adults.
People with GAD are consumed with worry, even when there's no apparent trigger. It's much more than the normal anxiety associated with daily life. People with GAD find it hard to dismiss their worry, even when they know it's more than the situation warrants.
GAD is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, muscle tension and muscle aches. You may also find you have difficultly relaxing, concentrating or sleeping, and you may startle more easily than others.
But constant worry needn't be a way of life. GAD is often treated with medication. The condition typically occurs in conjunction with another anxiety disorder, depression or substance abuse, which will need treatment, as well.

Have a happy July 4th!

General Information About Electromedicine

2005-07-04T00:32:00.000-05:00

The Changing Face of Medicine

The last decade has seen a shift in the way Americans view medicine. Despite the various benefits of pharmacological treatments, problems such as side effects and addictiveness have demonstrated to many in the medical community a need for investigation into new approaches to patient care. As such, many physicians have found that electromedicine offers a viable and effective alternative to drug therapies. Having been used in many other countries for decades, U.S. practitioners are now finding that there are many inherent advantages to electromedicine.
These include:

Non-invasive
Easy to administer
Non-toxic
Safe and effective
Minimal side effects, easily avoided
Reimbursable

Consequently, an increasing number of clinics, hospitals, and private practices across the country are re-evaluating their treatment options with the application of electromedicine in mind.

What is Electromedicine?
Put simply, electromedicine is a discipline within the field of medicine that deals with the use of electricity to aid in the treatment of a variety of physical ailments.

How Does Electromedicine Work?
In basic terms the science is this. Electricity is found naturally in all of us. Certain electrical impulses in our bodies help facilitate bodily functions including actions needed for healing. By mimicking the electrical impulses that occur in us, we can help facilitate a specific effect. Electromedicine is able to trigger these impulses by varying the frequency, wave length, intensity, and location of the electricity applied to the patient. Understanding how these elements interplay to create a desired effect is the basis for the science.

A Brief History of Electromedicine
Electromedicine, or the use of electricity to treat physical ailments, is considered one of the oldest and most documented sciences known. Medical professionals of ancient Greece learned that the electrical impulses emitted from electric eels in clinical foot baths relieved pain and produced a favorable influence on the blood circulation. Doctors Largus and Dioscorides (cc 46 AD) documented substantial therapeutic results with electrical currents in circulatory disorders and in the management of pain from neuralgia, headache and arthritis.
In the 1700s, European physicians used controlled electrical currents from electrostatic generators almost exclusively for numerous medical problems involving pain and circulatory dysfunction. During that period, Benjamin Franklin also documented pain relief by using electrical currents for "frozen shoulder."
In fact by 1910, approximately 50% of all U.S. physicians used electromedicine in their practice daily. Unfortunately for the science, an incorrect and unfair report emerged at this time. This report, produced by powerful special interest groups, discredited the value of both electromedicine and nutrition in medical practice. With fear of condemnation from certain medical institutions, (that were funded by these special interest groups), almost all American physicians abandoned electromedicine and nutrition from their practices. Although nutrition has re-established itself as a credible medical discipline in the U.S., electromedicine continues to face both the same special interest groups and the widespread prevailing misconceptions about the science.

Joel Osteen interviews with Larry King

2005-07-03T23:59:00.000-05:00

Recently I had the opportunity to watch the interview of Joel and Victoria Osteen of the Lakewood, TX church by Larry King. He is called the smiling preacher because of his joyful demeanor. It was a pleasure to see and listen to him as I have listened and learned from his messages on television. Joel was asked many questions by callers which I guess somewhat put him on the spot before Larry. I do think however he did a good job in answering the questions. Some people however seemed to think he was unclear in his answers. He has published a letter on his website to clear up his beliefs. I agree with his views and his reluctance to talking about who will go to heaven and who will not. That is not for man to decide. We can only walk in the way of Christ and obey the word of God. Leave the judging to God.

Another great book I'm reading

Experiencing God

Change your program

2005-07-02T12:07:00.000-05:00

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that posting from my Blackberry is the easiest way to go for me. So here it goes.

I have mentioned a bit in my posts about one sort of spiritual wellness or the other, a bit about physical wellness and now I think it important to share a bit about financial wellness. Most of what I will share about financial wellness will be taken from a book I am reading called "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker. This book has done wonders for the way I think about money, wealth, and how to manage them. It gets pretty deep into the fact that since we were kids we were programmed how to think about money. Some of us were programmed to believe that having a lot of money is greed while others were programmed to believe that having a lot of money meant security. These are just two examples of many programs we have been taught. He considers these both to be somewhat negative programs. As for the first mentioned program, having a lot of money does not mean greed. The second program I mentioned shows that if there is no money there will be insecurity, therefore programmed to fear not having money which is no way to live either.

The second part of this book goes into I guess the right programs. As I continue reference this book in future posts I will probably refer to this part of "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". One such program or "file" as he calls it is with the idea that the rich think different from the poor and middle class, which says "Rich people believe "I create my life" and poor people believe "Life happens to me". I can relate to this. I will sit and wonder at times that with all the things I am doing, why am I not successful? I have been playing the victim even blaming others and circumstances for my lack of success. Can you relate? If not, good for you. We can truly create victories for ourselves if we only change the way we think, change the program and the files within that program. How are you programed? Do you think you need to change the program?

Until next time.

Some more about life insurance

2005-07-01T16:37:00.000-05:00

In addition to my last post I wanted to go ahead and recommend that you increase your knowledge of these most popular types of life insurance i.e. term insurance, whole life insurance and something most are not aware of risk appraisal. I don't think we pay enough attention to these things because most of us get insurance from work. However, your life insurance from work is never enough and they never give you enough information. So learn as much as you can.

Be prepared with Life Insurance Info.

2005-06-26T14:40:00.000-05:00

I have been speaking a bit so far on health and wellness. While it is important to take care of yourself I believe it is equally important to be prepared for illness or even death, both of which could be quite a financial burden. The following website is highly recommended for extensive information on this area:

Break the pain cycle

2005-06-25T13:06:00.000-05:00

In the world we live we can find ourselves being put in situations where we find ourselves under serious stress. Stress is very destructive to our health but we can't escape it. I see many patients who suffer from chronic pain because of accidents, over use of a muscle, nerve damage, or even more often stress. Stress is the center of the pain cycle. It has a great influence on pain and our metabolism.
It is important to understand the pain cycle. The goal of any treatment is to start by breaking this pain cycle before it goes full circle and/or while the pain is severe. I definitely recommend Hako-Med's patented Horizontal Therapy. Due to its many therapeutic effects it has been effective in the relief of pain and rehabilitation. It will break the pain cycle and then go on to rehabilitate the muscle, joint or even support the building of new nerve fiber. As you continue to visit this site you will see more information on Horizontal Therapy or simply email me or visit www.electromedicine.com for more immediate information.

Are your relationships important?

2005-06-21T19:48:00.000-05:00

This is my wife and I enjoying Sandals in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

I believe that our emotional wellness highly depends on us being able to relax and spend time with our families and friends. Relationships are a very important part all other aspects of wellness. Business and financial wellness are based on great relationships with customer, client, associate and so forth. Spiritual wellness is also dependent on your relationship with God. You get the idea. Focus on building great relationships at home and outside of the home.

Science Matters: Toxic products add to our chemical burden

2005-06-20T23:00:00.000-05:00

by David Suzuki
06.16.05
Politicians often like to talk about the importance of "cleaning up our environment"—especially when they're trying to get elected. But wouldn't it make more sense to avoid messing it up in the first place? Most of us tend to assume that things we put into the environment simply go away. While it's true that nature can absorb much of our wastes, many of our chemical creations don't immediately dissipate harmlessly. In nature, everything is connected; so in many respects, there is no "away." That's why it's so important to be careful about what we release into nature. The problem is, we're much better at creating new chemical compounds than we are at figuring out if they are harmful, and we're even slower to stop using them when they are. Pesticides, for example, continue to cause concern, and two recent studies have linked pesticide exposure to potential health problems. The first looked at almost 3,000 people in five European countries. It found that the more a person is exposed to pesticides, the more likely that person is to develop Parkinson's disease. Amateur gardeners who used pesticides were nine per cent more likely to develop the disease, while farmers who used pesticides regularly saw their risk increase by 43 per cent. Another study had even more disturbing findings. It found that two chemicals used in pesticides and fungicides could cause fertility defects in male rats - defects that were then passed down to all their male offspring, as well as subsequent generations. It's the first time that toxins have ever been found to have this effect. The two compounds tested were methoxychlor, a pesticide used in place of DDT, and vinclozolin, a fungicide commonly used in the wine industry. Researchers at Washington State University injected the toxins into pregnant rats. Male rats born of the subsequent litters showed reduced sperm counts and reduced sperm motility. These defects continued in each generation of their offspring. Researchers caution that the chemical doses given to the rats were much higher than humans ever receive, but the findings raise yet more questions about the effects that widespread use of hormone-like pollutants are having on human health. And these pollutants, often called "endocrine disruptors," aren't just found in pesticides. They are also widely used in plastics to make them hard or, alternatively, soft. Chemicals called phthalates, found in a wide variety of soft plastics, have already been linked to feminization in male animals. And a study to be published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives has reported that sons born to women exposed to higher levels of phthalates are more likely to exhibit a higher degree of feminization. Finally, another study has found that exposure to the bisphenol A, an oestrogen-mimicking chemical found in hard plastics, may increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The study, conducted on rats, found that exposure to bisphenol A can alter breast development in a way that makes cancer more likely. As the weight of evidence piles up against these chemicals, we have to ask ourselves why are we still using them? Why are pesticides still used for cosmetic purposes in most towns and cities? Why are hormone-mimicking chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A still allowed in common products like baby toys? Cleaning up our environment after we mess it up is helpful. But it's also terribly expensive and often not very effective. The best thing we can do for our environment, our health and our pocketbooks is to not mess it up in the first place. Because when it comes to our environment, "away" just doesn't exist.

Therapeutic notes

2005-06-19T01:24:00.000-05:00

Though I have not been journaling and writing as much as I should I must say how important I believe journaling is. Keeping a daily journal has been said to provide therapy in times of emotional stress (we have all experienced this right?). Journaling can also prevent stress by allowing us to relieve ourselves of the thoughts that can be distructive later on. At times we may also find that while writing our thoughts we recall things that we would not have if not for our brain at work finding informartion to put on paper.
As for sales executives, journals are an important part of your day. We try to commit our success to our memory after every appointment. The danger in that is that after leaving the prospect and heading into other appointments we forget the mood of the call and worse the important details to move the sale forward to close.
With that said. Do not commit your wealth or your health to memory.
