  1. Your entire financial health may depend on reading this one article….

    October 2007: Articles

    Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others seem destined for a life of financial struggle?

    Do you think that the difference is found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?

    The surprising answer is: None of the above!

    In reality, your level of wealth has everything to do with your “financial blueprint.” You can learn about this blueprint, and permanently change it in order to start living a life filled with abundance in one fun-filled weekend of intense learning and self-discovery.

    T. Harv Eker is the author of the #1 NY Times bestselling book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mindâ„¢, and his programs have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

    In his book, Harv teaches how to identify your “financial blueprint” which determines your ability to be successful. Often your success is limited by what your blueprint is set for, much like a thermostat limits the temperature in a room. Unfortunately, as I quickly learned, many of us have our thermostats set on low due to the conditioning we received as children. It’s no one’s fault; it’s simply the way it is for so many of us.

    But–and this is big–you can learn to reset your blueprint for a higher level of success.

    Do you remember the first time you tried riding a bike? It was hard, but after lots of practice and maybe a bit of falling down, you suddenly found your balance and began riding with ease. Well, that feeling of suddenly being able to ride is exactly how I feel about money since attending Harv’s program. And I know you’ll feel the same way after you’ve attended the Millionaire Mind Intensive and learned the critical tools of financial management I learned there.

    And the best part? The Millionaire Mind Intensive is complimentary! Your only investment is a $97 materials fee and the purchase of The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.

    You have absolutely nothing to lose because the book is a great read and the seminar materials are worth hundreds of dollars in CDs, DVDs and tools. I guarantee you’ll have a great time and learn a lot about yourself. That’s why I’m encouraging you to do whatever it takes to be at this event.

    In this profound seminar you will learn:

    • The hidden cause of almost all financial problems
    • How your childhood conditioning is affecting you financially–today
    • How to reset your financial thermostat for automatic success
    • How to train your mind to work for you, instead of against you

    Yes, I Want a Millionaire Mind! There are currently events scheduled in cities all over North America including… New York (Oct 9)… Dallas (Oct 11)… Seattle (Oct 30)… Los Angeles (Nov 1) and Chicago (Nov 20).

  2. Coke changes name of Stevia?

    June 2007: Articles, News

    I just read two articles one in USA Today and the other in the Wall Street Journal that Coke has applied for 24 patents for a new sweetener Rebiana.  Currently Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (Stevia) is approved in this country as a dietary supplement and has been used in Japan and South America for years as a sweetener. 

    I love Stevia and use it everyday. It does have an entirely different flavor from sugar and may take a little getting used to.  I carry a bottle in my purse to sweeten tea, adding it to water and lemons makes a wonderful healthy lemonade. The dark liquid stevia concentrate has a licorice like flavor and can also be used on your skin as a mask.  You will look good and taste good too!!

  3. What did Prevention Magazine name as one of the Best New Foods for you?

    June 2007: Articles, News

    Originally from Central America, avocados were once described as the ‘fruit of kings’.  Today, this rich, smooth tasting fruit is considered a power food – an excellent source of potassium, vitamins C, A and E, and folic acid. Avocado Oil is uniquely high in monounsaturated fats promoting a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. It has superior rejuvenating properties to make your skin feel soft and moisturized and is renowned for its healing, anti-wrinkle and anti-bacterial properties.   

    Avocado oil can be used for high temperature cooking such as grilling and sautéing.  It enhances the flavors of other ingredients rather than overpowering them. You will immediately love the delicious nutty flavor of Pacifica Culinaria Avocado oil.  It has a light and silky texture with very little residue making it perfect for salad dressings and drizzling on food.  Try one of these award winning infusions today!

    My favorite is the Roasted Garlic  which I use to add flavor to my vegetables and sauteing onions.   Tonight I roasted some walnuts with the Blood Orange and they are delicious!!  There are several flavors and I can’t wait to try them all.

  5. Artificial Sweetener Explodes Internally - Avoid it in 2007

    Artificial Sweetener Explodes Internally - Avoid it in 2007

     

    By Shane Ellison, M.Sc.

    Copyright 2006© www.healthmyths.net

    If there were a contest for the best example of total disregard for human life the victor would be McNeil Nutritionals - makers of SplendaTM.  Manufacturers of VioxxTM and LipitorTM would tie for a very distant second. 

    McNeil Nutritionals is the undisputed drug-pushing champion for disguising their drug SplendaTM as a sweetener.  Regardless of its drug qualities and potential for side-effects, McNeil is dead set on putting it on every kitchen table in America.  Apparently, VioxxTM and LipitorTM makers can’t stoop so low as to deceptively masquerade their drug as a candy of sort.  There is no question that their products are drugs and by definition come with negative side-effects.  Rather than sell directly to the consumer, these losers have to go through the painful process of using doctors to prescribe their dangerous goods. 

    A keen student in corporate drug dealing, McNeil learned from aspartame and saccharine pushers that if a drug tastes sweet then let the masses eat it in their cake.  First though, you have to create a facade of natural health.  They did this using a cute trade name that kind of sounds like splendid and packaged it in pretty colors.  Hypnotized, the masses were duped instantly.  As unquestionably as a dog humps your leg, millions of diabetics (and non-diabetics) blindly eat sucralose under the trade name SplendaTM in place of real sugar (sucrose).   

    SplendaTM was strategically released on April fools day in 1998.  This day is reserved worldwide for hoaxes and practical jokes on friends and family, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.  McNeil certainly succeeded. 

    The splendid SplendaTM hoax is costing gullible Americans $187 million annually. (1)  While many people “wonder” about the safety of SplendaTM they rarely question it.  Despite its’ many “unknowns” and inherent dangers, SplendaTM demand has grown faster than its supply.  No longer do I have to question my faith in fellow Man.  He is not a total idiot, just a gullible one.  McNeil jokesters are laughing all the way to the bank. 

    Splenda is not as harmless as McNeil wants you to believe.  A mixture of sucralose, maltodextrine and dextrose (a detrimental simple sugar), each of the not-so-splendid SplendaTM ingredients has downfalls.  Aside from the fact that it really isn’t “sugar and calorie free,” here is one big reason to avoid the deceitful mix…Think April fools day:

    SplendaTM contains a potential poison

    SplendaTM contains the drug sucralose.  This chemical is 600 times sweeter than sugar.  To make sucralose, chlorine is used.  Chlorine has a split personality.  It can be harmless or it can be life threatening. 

    In combo with sodium, chlorine forms a harmless “ionic bond” to yield table salt.  Sucralose makers often highlight this worthless fact to defend its’ safety.  Apparently, they missed the second day of Chemistry 101 - the day they teach “covalent” bonds. 

    When used with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a “covalent” bond.  The end result is the historically deadly “organochlorine” or simply: a Really-Nasty Form of Chlorine (RNFOC). 

    Unlike ionic bonds, covalently bound chlorines are a big no-no for the human body.  They yield insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides - not something you want in the lunch box of your precious child.  It’s therefore no surprise that the originators of sucralose, chemists Hough and Phadnis, were attempting to design new insecticides when they discovered it!  It wasn’t until the young Phadnis accidentally tasted his new “insecticide” that he learned it was sweet.  And because sugars are more profitable than insecticides, the whole insecticide idea got canned and a new sweetener called Splenda got packaged. 

    To hide its’ origin, SplendaTM pushers assert that sucralose is “made from sugar so it tastes like sugar.”  Sucralose is as close to sugar as WindexTM is to ocean water. 

    The RNFOC poses a real and present danger to all SplendaTM users.  It is risky because the RNFOC confers a molecule with a set of super powers that wreak havoc on the human body.  For example, Agent Orange, used in the U.S Army’s herbicidal warfare program, is a RNFOC.  Exposure can lead to Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma as well as diabetes and various forms of cancer!  Other shocking examples are the war gas phosgene, chlordane and lindane. (2)  The RNFOC is lethal because it allows poisons to be fat soluble while rendering the natural defense mechanisms of the body helpless. 

    A poison that is fat soluble is akin to a bomb exploding internally.  It invades every nook and cranny of the body.  Cell walls and DNA - the genetic map of human life - become nothing more than potential casualties of war when exposed.  Sucralose is only 25% water soluble. (3)  Which means a vast majority of it may explode internally.  In general, this results in weakened immune function, irregular heart beat, agitation, shortness of breath, skin rashes, headaches, liver and kidney damage, birth defects, cancer, cancer and more cancer - for generations! (1)

    McNeil asserts that their studies prove it to be safe for everyone, even children.  That’s little assurance.  Learning from the VioxxTM debacle (and many others highlighted in my book Health Myths Exposed) which killed tens of thousands, we know that studies can be bought and results fabricated. 

    Some things are worth dying for.  Splenda is not one of them.  What people think of as a food is a drug or slow poison - little distinction there.  It wouldn’t be wise to bet your health on it.  If safe, sucralose would be the first molecule in human history that contained a RNFOC fit for human consumption.  This fact alone makes sucralose questionable for use as a sweetener, if not instantly detrimental to our health.  Only time will tell.  Until then, Ill stick to the safe and naturally occurring stevia plant to satisfy my occasional sweet tooth in 2007. 

    Be forewarned though, as long as drugs can be legally disguised as sweeteners, watch out for drugs being disguised as vitamins…Oh wait, they are already doing that - think Lipitor.
