Xtreme X2O for Irregularity

I am a 50 yr old female that like many others out there have always suffered from severe regularity problems. The General Manager where I work had told me that he had something he wanted me to try, some kind of water purification product, I thought yeah yeah ok....I will take it.
At the time he just told me about the relief he had received from acid reflux, something else I have battled with. So he gave me some samples, I tried it for about a week, and to my surprise, my life long condition of irregularity was getting much much better. I originally just chalked it up as just being a coincidence, until I quit using the product for a week and got back in the same condition as before. After going ahead and committing to an autoship of the product and being consistent in my usage, to my surprise, I continue to have relief from my acid reflux as well as I have received great relief with my condition that so many women suffer from, irregularity. Thank you Xooma for a much needed relief from a condition that women all over the world suffer from!!

X20 Testimonial for High Blood Pressure

My name is Jimmy Slatton age 68 and I have had severe high blood pressure for years. Taking medication I was able to get it down to 150/100. I started taking X2O about 3 months ago. After about 1 month I had my wife check my BP it was 117/65. After 2 months I have totally quit all meds for 1 month and my BP is still around124/69. My wife was so impressed that she wanted to try it. She has type2 diabetes and they put her on BP meds a few months ago. In about 3 weeks she has dropped her readings by about 15 numbers and she has cut her meds in half. Now we are working on the diabetes. We be happy campers.
PS: we have already helped several people to start on it for their BP.

X20 Testimonials for Acid Reflux

I have always suffered from severe acid reflux and indigestion often very severe and have used several prescriptions and over the counter meds to treat my condition. I had heard that extreme X2O could aid in relieving me of these symptoms so after about a month of using the product, I realized that my acid reflux had absolutely disappeared. This alone has been such a relief for me, if I miss a day or two without using the product, I can definitely tell the difference. Additionally, the hydration that Xtreme X2O provides is amazing, as a volunteer firefighter, I noticed that during intense trainings, and even during our last incident, I did not get the normal muscle cramps, and soreness that usually comes with this type of intense workouts. It is simply amazing as to how something as simple as a little sachet added to your water can change your life! Thank you Xooma!

I am a senior and although I'm pretty healthy I have my challenges just because of aging and all the toxins I have ingested. I have had an acid reflux problem for about a year and was on a strong Rx medicine which I had to take every night. Only a few days after starting to drink Xooma water I was able to stop the medication and have had no symptoms since. The other amazing benefit from drinking Xooma is my hypertension problem. High blood pressure runs in my family, and for the past 7 years have been on blood pressure medication, 100 mg of Hyzar a day. About a month after starting to drink Xooma I noticed my blood pressure was getting lower and lower. So I cut the meds in half, and it's staying down, I may be able to stop the meds entirely! I am absolutely thrilled with these results, but I have also experienced increased energy and clarity in thinking. I know my blood is cleaner because of the Xooma water and is flowing freely through my body. Thank God for Xooma!
Have a wonderful day!

When I first received my X2O product the first day I drank one bottle with one bag. The next day a drank another bottle with one bag. Besides the pain that is now gone from my back I also have been able to stop the numerous Tagamets that I took every day for Chronic Acid Indigestion. This has been a great relief to me.

CANCER TESTIMONIAL FOR X20

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:41:00 -0500

CANCER TESTIMONIAL FOR X20

Sept. 2004 – Very active, played 18 holes of golf 3 times per week, loved to garden and did my own housework, cooking, etc. Considered myself healthy all my life.
Oct.-Nov. 2004 – After being treated with four different antibiotics for pneumonia, finally an x-ray revealed I had cancer in both lungs.
Dec. 2004 – went to a cancer specialist, who took a C/T scan and PET scan showing the cancer had spread thru the lymph nodes to the chest area, rib, hip, and spine. I had Stage 4 cancer which was so widespread my only option was chemotherapy. I started chemo treatments the end of Dec. and weekly treatments throughout the year 2005. After each treatment I became weaker and weaker. I also continued taking various vitamins and herbs, and changed my diet.
I was still very weak in August when I heard about X2O. We purchased distilled or drinking water by the gallon and started a low sugar/low saturated fat diet. Just before Christmas 2005, I was told I was in remission! What a great gift from God!
Now, in April of 2006, I am slowly regaining my strength and my husband and I are beginning a new life at age 78. We are continuing a healthy diet containing fresh fruits and vegetables and had a water purifier installed on the kitchen faucet. We are both drinking X2O daily – it’s a terrific product which I believe has contributed greatly in helping rebuild my body after a whole year of chemo treatments.

I was very excited to try the Xooma. I had been battling with cancer for the past 3 years. I feel great some days, and others I had no energy. When I received the X20 I instantly started craving more water. I had a short time of de-toxing, but now I have lots of energy. My counts are the best they have been in 3 years. I know when I run now; I do not have chronic pain as I had in the past. I will be drinking X20 when I’m 100!

My 84 year old father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer the end of July 2005 - at that time the doctors were giving him 3-5 months to live and basically sent him home to die. After the shock of that wore off, I remembered a conversation that I had had with Gary who I had met while delivering his Xooma supplies to him about how the Xooma seemed to help his wife after she had been diagnosed with cancer.
I asked my dad if he would be interested in trying it and he said sure because at this point he had nothing to lose, so we drove over to Gary’s and he set dad up on an auto-ship and explained in detail how my dad should use the product. (this was in September 2005) He has been faithfully using the “tea bags” ever since.
He had been having some back pain, so the doctor did a bone scan, liver profile and a new CT scan of dad’s lungs - the doctor was convinced the cancer had spread. We got the results and there was, no cancer in the bone, no cancer in the liver and the spots on his lungs have not changed in 6 months!!! All the doctor could say is “frankly. I have no explanation” and told my dad to go ahead and buy some green bananas - that was their little joke, not to buy green bananas because dad might not live long enough for them to ripen.
Another benefit I believe came from the use of Xooma is that dad was able to go off all of his blood pressure meds - he had been on them for years - and without the meds his blood pressure is staying right around 135/70. He has gone back to driving, casinoing, and visiting friends and we firmly believe it is due to Xooma. Thanks Gary and Xooma for giving me my dad back.

Xooma Testimonial
High acidity can become a dangerous condition that weakens all major body systems. It makes your internal environment conducive to disease. A pH-balanced environment, on the other hand, allows proper metabolic functioning and gives your body resistance to disease. A healthy body maintains alkaline reserves that are used to meet emergency demands.

Researchers find that most people are at least slightly "acidic"; their pH is low. If your pH is too acidic, your body borrows minerals - such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium - from vital organs and bones to neutralize and remove the acid. Although high acidity may not be outwardly noticeable, it can severely affect overall health in a negative way. Alkalinity in the body is much more rare, but just as potentially serious. It often takes longer for a person who is "alkaline" to achieve balance than one who is "acidic."

The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, "A New Health Era" in which he maintains that all disease is cause by autointoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acid accumulation in the body:
"Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so." William Howard Hay, M.D.

Water - An Essential Part of Life

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:13:00 -0500

Water: One of the Keys to Optimizing Your Health
The human body is amazing. Just by treating and feeding it better, it works better.

When you eat right, exercise regularly, sleep sufficiently, and hydrate properly, you give your body the opportunity to work its best. And when you do any of these four items better-such as making healthier food choices (like fresh fruits and vegetables) or having an exercise routine customized to your specific needs-your body will undoubtedly gain additional benefits.
The same holds true with hydration. Drink a higher-quality water (i.e., cleaner), and you give your body the opportunity to run more efficiently just like a car's engine functions more efficiently with clean oil.

Water: Essential for Life
To put in perspective the importance of choosing the cleanest, highest-quality water you can find, consider your body's composition. It's approximately 65% water. You can survive about a month without food, but only five to seven days without water. Nearly every chemical process in the body is dependent upon water. The water you drink could be the most important part of your health.

Many trends demonstrate why cleaner water is healthier. This conclusion is further supported by numerous additional research projects performed throughout the world.

DrWeil.com

Water - An Essential Part of Life
Water is a basic necessity, needed to maintain a healthy body, a clear mind, and a good balance within your tissues. About 60 percent of your body is water, and you must constantly replenish the supply, as it's used continuously in the processes of life. Many people fail to drink enough of it. The standard recommendation is to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses a day. I'm not sure you need to force that much down, but do try to drink as much as you can, and more than you think you need. While you're doing all this drinking, however, make sure you're not adding new toxins to your body.

Drinking Water
I have always recommended drinking high-quality bottled water or, if possible, getting a water-purification system for your home. However, before you spend any money on a filtration system, find out what's in your water – have your tap water tested for contaminants such as fecal-coliform bacteria, lead, fluoride, chlorine, arsenic and nitrates, as well as parasites, other microorganisms, sulfates, herbicides, and pesticides. (Don't rely on the free testing offered by companies selling water purifiers – they're not thorough enough. Instead, use an independent lab – you may find you don't need a home purifying system). State and local health departments often do free tests for bacterial contamination, but to find out about toxic substances, you'll need the services of a private testing lab. Testing for a range of common contaminants can cost more than $100, but the investment is certainly worthwhile it if saves you the cost of a purifying system.

Chlorine and lead are two of the most common contaminants in water. Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent that may increase the risk of heart disease and is linked to certain types of cancer. Water containing more than 10 parts per billion of lead is a health risk, especially for infants, children and pregnant women – and probably for everyone else, as well. Even small amounts may result in organ damage and stunt the nervous system. If you are using tap water for drinking or cooking, I suggest that you get in the habit of flushing your kitchen faucet daily by letting water run for three to five minutes in the morning (or after periods of disuse).

Bottled water is only a temporary solution to the problem. It is too expensive for regular use, and you cannot count on its safety. According to an investigation by the Natural Resources Defense Council, bottled water is sometimes tap water in disguise – and even bottled spring water can be contaminated. The New York-based environmental advocacy group tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of bottled water and found that about one-third violated state standards or microbial impurity guidelines. Some of the brands tested were contaminated with bacteria, while others contained chemical contaminants. The NRDC report noted that FDA rules exempt bottled water from some of the standards and testing that apply to tap water. (To read more about the NRDC report, go to: http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/bw/bwinx.asp)

You can try drinking bottled distilled water if you like. It’s water that has been turned into steam so its impurities are left behind. The steam is then condensed to make pure water. The process of distillation kills and removes virtually all bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other organic and inorganic contaminants. Once distilled, the water is as pure as water can reasonably be. While it’s true that distillation removes minerals as it eliminates various other contaminants from water, I don’t feel this is a problem. We get our minerals from food, not water.

As far as acidity goes, distilled water is close to a neutral pH and has no effect on the body’s acid/base balance. Distilled water is safe to drink, and the kind of water I use myself.
Instead of buying bottled water – distilled or otherwise – you might want to look into a home water purifying system or home distiller, but do not invest in one without doing some homework. The systems vary greatly in quality, efficiency and price. Be skeptical of the claims made by salesmen.

Household Water
In some parts of the United States the calcium and magnesium in water precipitate out and stick to the plumbing pipes, water heaters and even tea kettles as “scale.” This can eventually clog pipes and interfere with heat conduction. The minerals that make water “hard” also interfere with the ability of soap to dissolve and lather, so you can end up with soap film on your skin and hair, as well as your clothes and dishes.

The solution is to install a water softener that gets rid of the calcium and magnesium via the exchange of ions with sodium or potassium ions in a bed of small plastic beads or through a chemical matrix called zeolite. I recommend using potassium in the water softener, although it costs about three to four times more than sodium. Potassium is better for your health and better (though still not great) for the environment. However, even if you use potassium, don’t drink water that has been through a water softener. Though softened water is fine for bathing, use distilled water for drinking or cooking.

Weight Loss Water

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:05:00 -0500

Weight Loss Water

If you’re like most people, you would love to lose some weight or excess body fat, but for whatever reason it hasn’t been that easy. Most people have tried one fad diet after another only to find that even if they lose some weight, their results don’t last very long. The fact is that obesity is becoming a worldwide epidemic.

What if there really was a solution?

A simple place to start that would work for just about anyone. A solution that has been on our planet since the beginning of time.

So, what’s the solution? WATER.

But not just any water. We’re talking about mineral rich, alkaline water that effectively hydrates your body.

Water, as it was originally found on earth was different. It was fresh and pure.

It came from natural springs, fresh mountain streams and was loaded with important trace minerals that are essential to our health. Unfortunately, the water coming out of our faucets today is no longer that way. And while more and more people are reaching for bottled water these days, the problem is that in most cases, bottled water is simply recycled and filtered municipal tap water.

Thanks to a breakthrough discovery in natural science, Xooma Worldwide gives you a way to transform ordinary water into a powerful beverage that can help you lose weight and shed excess body fat. We call this revolutionary product “X2O.”

X2O supports your weight loss efforts in 3 ways…

1. X2O helps to hydrate your body at the cellular level. Think about it. You’ve probably never seen a weight loss system or diet program that didn’t recommend that you drink more water. Why? Because your body needs to be properly hydrated in order for you to be successful in your weight loss goals.

The problem is that most tap water and bottled water is not effective for optimal hydration. But, when you add just one sachet of X2O to that water, it provides improved hydration by allowing the water to be more easily absorbed by your body. In addition, X2O delivers vital electrolytes into your water that improve your overall hydration at the cellular level.

2. X2O provides ionic trace minerals which support healthy weight management. Ensuring that your body gets the optimal level of minerals it needs is a vital component to not only being healthy but also to optimize your weight loss goals.

This is because minerals play a key role in important bodily functions that relate to your metabolism.Minerals have a direct effect on appetite control, blood sugar balance, food cravings, adrenal and thyroid hormone functions, and the use of fat for energy in your body.

X2O sachets contain an all-natural mineral complex that releases beneficial trace minerals into the water which can be easily absorbed and used to support your body’s metabolic functions.

3. X2O gives your water a healthy alkaline boost which helps burn fat. If you want to shed excess body fat with less effort it is important to maintain a healthy pH balance in the body. This is the “hidden secret” to continual fat loss that keeps most people from getting the results they desire.

Unfortunately, most of the foods and beverages we consume on a daily basis cause our bodies to become acidic. And the more acidic we are, the more likely we are to store fat.

But, with just one sachet of X2O, you can transform your water into a highly alkaline beverage that helps to neutralize acid in your body and trigger the release of excess fat.

In addition to promoting healthy weight loss, X2O also provides you body with a host of other incredible health benefits.

Get gleaming teeth naturally: you can whiten your teeth without harsh bleaches.
Here's how -

STRONG TEETH MEAN A BRIGHT SMILE,
says Victor Zeines, D.D.S., a teacher at the Institute for Natural Dentistry in Woodstock, N.Y.

The higher your teeth's mineral content, he explains, the stronger and more stain-proof they are. To boost your teeth's mineral content, take a multivitamin and drink at least six glasses of mineral water daily.

ASPARTAME linked to MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS & LUPUS EPIDEMIC

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:08:00 -0500

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS & LUPUS EPIDEMIC
There is an epidemic across North America today of Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. Most people do not understand why this epidemic is happening, and they do not know why these diseases are so rampant. I would like to share with you the main reason we are having this very serious problem.
Many people today use artificial sweeteners in their tea or coffee. They do this because the ads they see on TV tell them that sugar is bad for their health. This is absolutely true. Sugar is toxic to us, but, what most people use as a replacement for sugar is much more deadly.
I am talking about Aspartame. It is the cause of the epidemic that was mentioned above. Aspartame is an extremely toxic chemical that is produced by a chemical company called Monsanto.
Aspartame is being marketed around the world as a sugar substitute and is found in all diet soft drinks, such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. It is also found in artificial sweeteners such as NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful; and it is used in many other products as a sugar replacement.
Aspartame is marketed as a diet product, but it is not a diet product at all. In fact, it will cause you to GAIN weight because it makes you crave carbohydrates.
Causing you to gain weight is only a very small part of what Aspartame does. Aspartame is a toxic chemical that changes the brain's chemistry. It can and does cause severe seizures. This chemical changes the dopamine level in the brain, and it is particularly deadly for anyone suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Aspartame is extremely poisonous, and here is why. One of the toxic ingredients of Aspartame is wood alcohol. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in the Aspartame is converted to formaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.
Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic - which are very deadly toxins. The only difference is... Formaldehyde kills quietly, and it takes a little longer. And, in the process of killing people, it causes all kinds of neurological problems.
There are 92 documented symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning leading to coma and death. The majority of these symptoms are neurological, because the Aspartame attacks and destroys the nervous system. Some of the symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning are covered below.
One of these symptoms is Lupus, which has become almost as rampant as Multiple Sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
When someone develops Lupus as a result of using Aspartame, they usually do not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. They then continue to use Aspartame, which aggravates the Lupus to such a degree that it sometimes becomes life threatening. When people finally get off the Aspartame, the severity of the Lupus decreases.
It is generally believed that once you develop Lupus, you will have it for the rest of your life, but this is not so. Lupus can be defeated with some very special treatment.
Aspartame Poisoning is also very often diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. The methanol toxicity mimics Multiple Sclerosis, and therefore, people are being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when in fact they do not have it. Multiple Sclerosis is not a death sentence, where Methanol Toxicity usually is.
When those who suffer from Aspartame Poisoning stop using Aspartame, most of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis disappear. There are many cases where someone's vision has returned, and even their hearing has returned.
We have a very serious problem here. More and more people who are heavy Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers are being diagnosed with MS.

ASPARTAME
DIET DRINKS - Written by Mary and Walter Fields:
I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME" marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful".' In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12oz. cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become symptomatic. Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease.
On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity, most of the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.
During a lecture I said, "If you are using ASPARTAME NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss-you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!" People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got this, is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's sons could no longer walk - due in part by product usage! We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said, 'Could you tell me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.
Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!! At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic - DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.
Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain . Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug also causes Birth Defects. There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT." Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma. Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS (Health Press 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE (1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells how aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and indeed it is. As the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with some case histories and will post it on the Internet. According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, 'We are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison." Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first marketed. He said, "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion, and severe vision loss."
At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and violence). Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking for a possible antidote for this poison because they are experiencing so many problems in their country.
This "poison" is now available in 90 PLUS countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from different nations who have pledged their help. We ask that you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your case history. I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their products. Therefore, they cannot criticize any additives or tell about their link to MONSANTO.
How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet, to get off the product. The child was having grand mal seizures every day. The mother called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying to convince the mother that the aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get someone off of aspartame, the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and what we are up against. There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the aspartame destroys the nervous system.
Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm health problems (Gulf War Syndrome). The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of an aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F). Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank them all day long. All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning.
Dr. Roberts says "consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects". The phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emory University in his testimony before Congress. In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on aspartame, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said, "when they remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of Aspartame in them."
Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO. If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!
Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would have also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.
Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to have the help of some world leaders. Again, please help us too. There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, *please* let them know this information. You might want to print it out and hand it out or fax it to people who are not online. Young people drink a lot of diet coke.

The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are acidic. ~Dr. Arthur Guyton (author of “Textbook of Medical Physiology”)

You want your diet to ALKALIZE your body, and ingesting a highly acidic drink like soda pop does the opposite and is very detrimental to your health. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

The active ingredient in most soda pop is phosphoric acid. The pH of most soda pop is 2.0, which is very acidic.

Why pH Balance is Critical to Your Health.....

In order for the body to maintain optimal health, it needs to manage a very narrow pH range (slightly alkaline)-especially in the blood. In fact, the body will go to any lenth necessary to maintain your blood pH at 7.34 to 7.45 because anything outside that pH range could result in death.

The foundation of healthy pH balance is drinking plenty of alkaline water. The easiest way to "supercharge" the alkalinity of you water is by adding Xtreme X2O sachet every day!

ON TARGET ~ Target Marketing for Network Marketers

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:04:00 -0600

Ninety-seven percent of all network marketers fail, many because they are not equipped and prepared to build a successful business. Most people in the home based business industry start their business with a goal to find financial freedom and time freedom. The few that succeed enjoy true independence.

Have you found yourself spending yourself out of business; buying expensive leads, useless e-books or placing unproductive ads?
Stop flushing your money down the toilet.

Are you discouraged and think that you're just not cut out for this business? You ask, "Why can't I recruit just one person?"

It's not you. It's the industry.
No one is born knowing how to become a successful network marketer. Network marketing is a simple business but it is not an easy business.

Okay, so you have placed killer ads, you have written great articles, joined groups, started a blog. You've done everything your upline leader has told you. It's been months, and you still have not seen the "fruit of your labor".

What is wrong? Why haven't you had any success?
Are you the only sucker that isn't making money?
Your upline sponsor is making thousands, why not you?

It's not you and I can help.

The first step to improve your conversion rate in the network marketing or internet marketing business is to learn how to identify your target market.

This is very important. Do not skip this step, it is the foundation of your entire marketing system.

Let me ask you this; can you sell dentures to a man who has a nice set of teeth?
Can you sell a steak to a vegetarian? How about diet pills to a skinny person?
No! That's because a man with a nice set of teeth does not need dentures. nor the vegetarian a steak, the skinny person does not want diet pills! You would have a much better chance to sell dentures to a toothless man, steak to a meat eater, and diet pills to an overweight person. Here's the secret: give them what THEY want.
Target Marketing, you bet.

Here's how:
In a nutshell, let them know that you have what they are looking for. Only speak to those who are interested.

For instance, network marketers understand the concept of network marketing and the way it works. But just try to recruit your family, friends,and neighbors? Will they buy? Most likely not. NO way. They will run the other way and stop taking your phone calls. Why? Because they are not your target market, if you want to succeed, show your business to people who are looking for a business. How that's done is a different subject for another article.

Are you targeting those who want a business or your product or your family, friends, and neighbors. Are you mis-targeting your market? That doesn't mean you can't talk to your family, friends, and neighbors about your business. Do so, but only when the opportunity shows itself. Your main focus should be marketing to those looking for that you are promoting. Stop beating your head against the wall, stop convincing and start attracting. This applies to every product or service you represent. If your product is health and nutrition products then you should market to the health conscious and people who are already spending money on health products.

Focus your marketing efforts to find the people who are looking for you and your products. Look for lookers. Distinguish yourself from the pack by solving their problem. Know your target market.

Aim, Shoot, and Hit your Target Market.

Network Marketing Leadership Styles

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:57:00 -0600

Hand Holder vs. Tour Guide

Which system are you using to sponsor new team members holding hands or guided tour?

What’s your leadership style? Are you a hand holder or a tour guide?

Network marketing is a people business and it is easy to get side tracked and find yourself counseling and motivating instead of the leading, empowering and coaching. Network Marketing is a business of relationship not a relationship business.

"Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations." — Peter F. Drucker

Do you hold people's hands through your sponsoring process or do you simply send them to your site and assume that they are bright enough to find their way around it?

Is your motto: If they can't do it themselves do I really want them on my team?

Do you baby sit or empower? Are you creating an atmosphere of dependency or a team of business associates?

I prefer a balance, to lead not manage. I was drawn to network marketing because I wanted a business without the headache of having employees. Why would I try to manage now? Never handhold your prospects, instead guide your qualified prospects through your information system.

Here’s why.

People who require excessive hand holding rarely become leaders in your organization. Excessively needy prospects will inevitably eat up too much of your time. Clear them out!
Search for business-minded prospects that are coachable, who are driven by desire and take action. Spend you time with these and guide them through your training. Don't send them there blindly and expect them to sign-up. That seldom happens.

There are reasons for this. While many replicated websites look great, many present too much information and they tend to get lost in bombardment of advertisement going on today.
If you want to sponsor more of the "right people", take a few moments and guide your prospect through your information system.

Lead them through your training and show them how to increase their earnings and build their own business. This is leadership. This guided process is also training your new distributor how to train their new distributors.

Don’t allow your prospect to get bogged down with information overload. Show them the key areas to focus on to make an informed decision about their financial future.
If you generally just send people to your site, but are not sponsoring people every week into your business, now you know why. Follow through with a system of Find them, Guide them, then Lead them... never baby sit.

The 4 C's to Successful Network Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:44:00 -0600

Capture, Cultivate, Close, and Coach.

There are four basic steps to success in online marketing and network marketing. Build your marketing plan around these 4 strategies and your business will thank you for it.

Remember them as the four C's.
They are Capture, Cultivate, Close, and Coach.
Use them to form a success marketing roadmap.
The 4 C's will work whether your business is direct sales,
e-commerce, mlm, network marketing, online and offline.

Let me begin by saying that I did not come up with this idea. I do not want to take credit for inventing these steps. What I can take credit for is the success I enjoy by using the 4 Cs in my business. I hope this article will save you frustration and make you a lot of money in the process.

First, you must CAPTURE your audience. Yes, I refer to your potential customers and down-line as your audience because an audience makes a choice to attend. If you are a member of the audience at a concert, movie, ballgame...etc., it is because you want to be there. You are interested in what is going on! Begin by attracting those who are interested, maybe even already involved in the MLM or online business. Look for people who are looking. People like you. Do not, I repeat, do not waste your time and energy trying to "sell" your business opportunity or product to people who are not interested. It is just not worth your time, it is a waste of time. Move on.

There are many ways to find people who are looking. They are searching just like you were. Try the Internet, personal connections, and leave or hand out brochures. There are many ways to market your business so that those who are truly interested will gravitate to you and your products. It may take a while to get the ball rolling, but once your momentum begins to build, you will have plenty of interested leads to work through and cultivate.

Next, we want to take the names or leads we have captured and CULTIVATE them. That's right, cultivate, like you would a garden or a good crop. Does a farmer plant seed and go out the next day and harvest what he has planted? Of course not! Our leads must be carefully brought along and cared for just as the farmer tends to his crops. Provide information and facts by personal e-mails; call them on the telephone, and mail. Find out about them. Listen to what they have to say and find out their particular Why. Make a friend; gain mutual trust. At this time you will make a decision to go the next step. Expose them to your product and/or opportunity. I am not saying you have to drag things out for weeks. You will usually have a pretty good idea of their interest level very quickly. The worst mistakes you can make is trying to push for a decision like the typical car salesman, you know, "What's it gonna take to get you on the road in this baby TODAY?”. Network marketing is a people business; others must trust you and like you to do business with you. I am not advocating being friendly just to gain business. Be genuine. Be yourself. Warning: Do not involve anyone in your business that you would not want to work with closely. Remember, during this cultivate phase you are choosing your future business partners.

Third, it is time to CLOSE. Although it is important not to rush people, do not be afraid to ask for their business. After several exposures to the product and/or opportunity create a sense of urgency. Urgency will filter out prospects that are not ready. Timing is a vital element in this process. Some people will ride along forever, screening phone calls, deleting e-mails, just to avoid telling you no. Many will be fence riders, unable to make a decision either way. Others just need to be asked to sign up. The only thing holding them up is that you have not asked for their business. Ask! The worst thing they can do is say "no". If that is the case, you are free to move on to the next prospect.

Finally, we want to COACH each and every one of our new business partners. Duplication is the fastest, most reliable way to build your business. You cannot duplicate people but you can duplicate systems. Your training system will teach your new partner how to move their new team members to action. Don’t let your team fend for themselves. Teach them what you have learned through trial and error and study. Lead by example. If you as the team leader are enjoying success and having fun, others will follow your lead. Some will sign up and never do anything. Others will work diligently for a short time but when they do not see immediate results, they'll quit. But then there is that few, that precious few, who want success as badly as you do. The team members with vision, with dreams are the ones who will make all your time and effort worthwhile. The team members who are coach-able and willing to follow your proven system are your stars, the ones who will build and expand their business and in doing so make your business a huge success. You see, if we help others reach their dreams, we can't help but reach ours.

You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar

The 7 Worst Marketing Article Mistakes and How to Fix Them

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Long & Ed Long.) — Fri, 9 Nov 2007 16:50:00 -0600

Are you disappointed in the results your articles are generating? Are you spending a lot of time and energy but not getting results? Do your articles target the right audience? Is anyone reading your articles?
If you answered NO, you need this report. Get your articles read, your readers responding, and your business growing.
Correct these typical marketing article blunders and watch your business soar.

Words do two major things: They provide food for the
mind and create light for understanding and awareness.

Jim Rohn

7 Common Article Blunders:

1. Failure to use a catchy title - the headline and article summary must grab and keep the reader’s attention. Use keywords and phrases; let your reader know in a snap what they will gain by reading the article.

2. Attempting to disguise sales copy as quality content - hype, bragging and self-promotion. Write winning content that will set you apart from the competition and build a reputation as a credible and competent expert.

3. Creating paragraphs that are too long - use short paragraphs and sentences. Utilize white space to make the article easy to read.

4. Making your article too broad or superficial in content. Each article should cover a specific topic. It is better to define a single point.

5. Not solving a problem or offering dated, worthless content - are you delivering information that is valuable to your reader? Deliver indispensable content and solve their problem. Write from your unique perspective, do not publish a “me too” article.

6. Omitting a call to action. Each article should have one purpose and one most wanted response. Do not send mixed messages with multiple options or confusing copy.

7. Neglecting to include a bio box and link to your website – access is paramount online. Build trust and familiarity by sharing information that allows readers to know you and connect with you. Don’t overlook the importance of access.

Today’s marketers must create, distribute, and promote valuable content geared to their target market. Begin today to execute content marketing programs.
Start with the basics: Help them solve a problem and deliver it in a format that will help your reader succeed.
