Earlier this year on August 8, 2008 Shaklee announced it's new anti-aging product. In it's effort to be the for front of this type of product they enlisted the help of Dr. David Sinclair. He is at the for front of anti-aging studies and the human body. A doctor at Harvard he has been studying this process for quite a while. He is the founder of the anti-aging lab at the Harvard School of Medicine. Any article written in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes Magazine or the New York Times has either been written about Dr. Sinclair or by him. and was one of the first to discover the link between red wine and aging. You can see a lot more about that in his interview with Barbara Walters about how we can live to be 150 years old.
Dr. Sinclair was at the for front of discovering the link between anti-aging and re wine. The ingredient in red wine that makes that happen is called reseravtrol.What's funny is Dr. Sinclair himself doesn't drink red wine but that is what many people think of when they hear the name resveratrol. Look here to see what Dr. Sinclair picked Shaklee to partner up with.
There are many advantages to the uses of resveratrol but there are other things to consider as Dr. Sinclair explains. It's very important that resveratrol be used in it's most potent form. The right dose. But it also is combined with what is best called "the super grape". That sounds corny, but it's not an ordinary grape. It contains an extra chromosome in it that teamed up with resveratrol is what makes the anti-aging process actually work. The miracle of all this teamed up together isn't just the immediate effects such as boosting energy levels and mental clarity it can make a huge difference in the fight against Diabetes, Cancer and Alzheimer's. I didn't write this until I had had the time to try the product myself. I found many things changed right away. But what was amazing was a college of mine started taking the product 8/8/08 and suffered from type 2 diabetes by the beginning of September he no longer needed to medicate himself for that! I could not believe that. I am sure every one's degree of being effected by the illness is different but that made me really stop and think what do we have our hands on here? I have now heard stories of curing age spots, serve arthritis and the results just keep pouring in. Those are just from people I personally know.
How does this effect our planet? How does this effect the "green cause"? Well first and for most it's all natural. It's healthier for us. Healthier live is soo important and it's produced by a company that is climate neutral. There are no factories putting out pollution to make this product. If one product can cure all these things think of the number of things we will prevent ourselves from having to intake.
That is just my take on it. The health of the earth is so important, but the health of ourselves and our children is just as important.
If you want to learn more about this anti-aging product and see the Barbara Walters video I was talking about earlier you can visit www.YourInfinitySystgem.com or contact me at gogreen4kids@hotmail.com

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle
We have all heard this before. Reduce, reuse and recycle. We have all heard about recycling and how important it is. But it is important that we also REDUCE what we use. That is probably more important than the recycling.
There are many ways to reduce our usage of the earth's recourse's, but one of the most important things we can reduce is the bottled water. There are thousands of bottles of water floating around at any given time around here. That is a lot of bottles to recycle.
A lot of people don't feel great about using tap water even though it has been proven in most areas to be safe. If you are one of those people who do not want to use tap water there are some great alternatives out there.
The first thing you will need is a effective water pitcher that will clean your tap water or a water tap filter.
Here are my favorites:
Shaklee Best Water Pitcher Click Here
Shaklee Best Water MTS 2000 for your counter top Click Here
I use the Best Water Pitcher. It's important to know that I use the water from the pitcher for everything! Cooking, watering my plants with it really make them thrive. I also use it for my pets to keep them healthier. I know everyone says all water tastes the same and I always believed that. But everyone told me the water out of the Best Water Pitcher tasted different. I didn't believe it until I bought the pitcher. I noticed a difference and didn't say anything and then my 12 year old daughter came to me and told me that it tasted so much different. So I believe it now, there is a difference in your water.
The next step to get that convince that you can get with those water bottles is to buy reusable preferably BFA free water bottles. Then you just need to refill that same bottle and you get the same convince as those water bottles!
Here are some examples I have put together for you. All three of these are BPA free bottles.

- HSN 5 Pack of Bottles Click Here - If you are a Mom like me you may want the convince of having multiple bottles ready to go for each person in the house and maybe a few extra. I saw this set on the Home Shopping Network website and it's a really good deal for the money. It's a 5 pack of bottles for $14.95 and it comes with a rack to put them on in your fridge.
- Nalgene Click Here This company has a pretty good variety of bottles at a pretty decent price. They range from $9-$12 per bottle and have a variety of different styles.
- Sigg Click Here This company is more on the high end. The bottles start around $20 but they do have a huge assortment of aluminum bottles. Over 100 designs actually to choose from.
So there are some choices for you to start to reduce no matter what you budget is. And in the start our economy is in this may be a little more money upfront, but will actually save you money in the long run instead of spending all that money on bottled water.
Another important thing to remember is whether you have a water pitcher or a faucet filter be sure you change your filter about every 60 days to ensure the best performance.
Until next time:)

Your Children Need Vitamins Too!
Your Children Need Vitamins Too!
TOOTH-FRIENDLY MULTIVITAMIN AND MULTIMINERAL FOR CHILDREN
Every stage of a child’s development has its own critical nutrition requirements. Did you know?
75% of brain capacity develops between birth and age three. By age five, brain development is 90% complete.
Starting at age two, children should eat moderately low-fat food to avoid health problems later.
Between ages eleven and sixteen, children often experience a major growth spurt.
Recent reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) show that our children’s diets lack the nutrients they need. By skipping meals and consuming lots of fast food, soft drinks, and sweet snacks, American children have developed diets that fall short in important nutrients. In fact, the USDA reported that only 1% of youths aged 2 to 19 met all of the dietary recommendations outlined in its Food Guide Pyramid.1 Since inadequate nutrition during childhood and adolescence can have immediate and long-term health consequences, supplementation with a complete multivitamin and multimineral formula is essential to ensuring that your children are receiving the vitamins and minerals they need.

Getting Rid of Ants
I don't know about you but I am very spoiled using the Shaklee cleaners. I didn't realize how spoiled until last week when my house seemed to turn in to an ant village. Your body gets used to the fact that there should not be a smell with cleaners very fast. I unfortunately had to break out the horrible ant spray for my garage and I could not handle the smell. It was horrible. I could taste it in my mouth.
Of course immediately before I even sprayed it the 1st time I was horrified that I was about to spray this in my garage. My goodness my kids would be coming out here. So I did the inevitable and sprayed what I had to but immediately started looking for a safer alternative. I couldn't handle the spray so I can only imagine how it would effect my children.
I knew that Basic H2 regular mixed cleaning solution would kill the ants, but I needed to stop them from coming in the house.
The good news is I found a way!! Straight lemon. Go to the store and buy some lemons, get the juice out and put it in to a spray bottle. I actually just took the spray bottle that my cleaning solution was mixed in and dumped that in to my yard because I knew it would green up the yard a lot and it only takes 2 drops of Basic H2 to mix another bottle.
I put the lemon in it and no ants. So there is a tip of the day for you:)

What's Under Your Sink
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR SINK?
By Dr. Joyce Woods.
Joyce worked as a medical/surgical nurse, public health nurse, nurse educator, nursing school administrator, occupational health consultant. She holds a Bachelors of Nursing, Bachelors of Arts (Specialist), Masters of Education degrees, and has completed her doctoral degree in the area of Indoor Air Pollution, and it's effect on your health.
Begin by thinking of your home as a toxic waste dump. The average home today contains 62 toxic chemicals - more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century. More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WW II. Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, or birth defects.
The majority of modern chemicals have never been tested for long-term effects!
An EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 2 to 5 times MORE polluted than outdoor air. The EPA states that common sources include: household products including: paints, paint strippers, and other solvents; wood preservatives; aerosol sprays; cleansers and disinfectants; moth repellents and air fresheners; stored fuels and automotive products; hobby supplies; and dry-cleaned clothing.
Another EPA study found that toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air. Every man, woman and child breathes in 10 to 20 thousand liters of air per day, 90% of which is indoor air.
"There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home. These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated, asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products; products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies; central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.
The relative importance of any single source depends on how much of a given pollutant it emits and how hazardous those emissions are. In some cases, factors such as how old the source is and whether it is properly maintained are significant.
For example, an improperly adjusted gas stove can emit significantly more carbon monoxide than one that is properly adjusted. Some sources, such as building materials, furnishings, and household products like air fresheners, release pollutants more or less continuously. Other sources, related to activities carried out in the home, release pollutants intermittently. These include smoking, the use of unvented or malfunctioning stoves, furnaces, or space heaters, the use of solvents in cleaning and hobby activities, the use of paint strippers in redecorating activities, and the use of cleaning products and pesticides in housekeeping. High pollutant concentrations can remain in the air for long periods after some of these activities.
"The National Cancer Institute released results of a 15-year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home. Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960. Cancer is the number ONE cause of death for children.
There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the Number ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides.
There has been a call from the U.S./ Canadian Commission on chemicals to ban bleach in North America. Bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women, reproductive problems in men and learning and behavioral problems in children. Chemicals get into our body through inhalation, ingestion and absorption. We breathe 10 to 20 thousand liters of air per day. There are more than 3 million poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the number ONE cause of poisoning of children.
Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and the Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers. ADD/ADHD are epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds.
Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause all types of headaches.
Labeling laws do not protect the consumer - they protect big business. The New York Poison Control Center reports that 85% of product warning labels were either inadequate or incorrect for identifying a poison, and for first aid instructions. Formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene, xylene are found in common household cleaners, cosmetics, beverages, fabrics and cigarette smoke. These chemicals are cancer causing and toxic to the immune system.
Chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime target for these destructive organics because of its high fat content and very rich blood supply.
Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical exposure.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found more than 2500 chemicals in cosmetics that are toxic, cause tumors, reproductive complications, biological mutations and skin and eye irritations.
Pesticides only have to include active ingredients on the labels, even though the inert (inactive) ingredients may account for 99%, many of which are toxic and poisons.
The CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) reports that houses today are so energy efficient that "out-gassing" of chemicals has no where to go, so it builds up inside the home. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 65% of that time at home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90% of their time in the home. Our homes should have a complete change of air 3 or 4 times a day. We should leave our windows open on each side of our house for better cross ventilation. New homes are built so airtight that it is impossible to get a complete change of air.
In Alberta last year accidental poisoning statistics were as follows: Between the ages of: * 0 - 4 years - 11, 515 poisonings
* 5 - 10 years - 1,524
* 11 - 19 years 1,019
* 20 and over 7,799
The top three culprits according to Poison Control: household cleaners, bleach, and medications. In the USA the #1 cause of accidental poisoning is Dawn Dishwashing Detergent (c). WHY? Because it is the #1 seller. Tide contains Lye and is the #1 polluter. It is also the #1 seller.
Inert (or inactive) ingredients in products are protected by trade secrets and very dangerous. In the work place Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must accompany any product used. The work place and the outdoors are considered "legal environments" while the air in homes is not. So regulations for outdoor air pollution and toxins in the workplace are much more strict than in the home.
The ideal humidity rate is 35-45%. Higher rates cause mold. Use of humidifiers and dehumidifiers with standing water encourages mold growth in the water. The ideal temperature for homes is 68-72 degrees. Higher temperatures make chemicals more active. When we shower, the hot water aerates the chlorine and can cause headaches, as can the use of aerosols. Steam from our dryer vents is extremely toxic from the chemicals in fabric softener sheets and residues from detergents and bleach.
Chemicals used to dry clean clothing are very dangerous and can cause cancer. When you bring dry cleaning home you should hang it outside for at least 3 days. The same chemicals are in mothballs.
Deep Woods and Off have an ingredient called DEET. DEET causes seizures in children and adults. There are 4700 chemicals in tobacco smoke.
Formaldehyde is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our homes. Products containing Formaldehyde include: * Antiperspirants * Mouthwash * Toothpaste * Tupperware * Permanent Press clothing * Floor waxes and furniture polishes * Baggies * Coffee * Wax Paper * Paper Money
Symptoms caused by formaldehyde are: * Allergies, cancer, immune system failings, and asthma
Phenols are a major indoor pollutant. Phenols are absorbed by lungs, and skin. Symptoms include caustic burns, kidney and liver damage and hyperactivity. Products containing Phenols include:
* Acne medications * Baking Powder * PC's * TV sets * Mouthwash * Sugar subs * Wallpaper
Do you think the major products are safe? WRONG! Lysol (c) is even more dangerous than we thought. It contains phenols and dioxin (Agent Orange). Bleach must be safe because people have been using it for years, right? WRONG! When using bleach, antiseptics or chlorine in industrial areas you are required by OSHA to wear impervious protective clothing, hard hats, boots, gloves, apron or coveralls, chemical goggles or full face shield and use only in well ventilated areas.
When using Easy Off (c) make sure all your skin is covered, wear protective clothing, do not breath in and don't get on your enamel, (if this product will hurt the enamel on your stove, can you imagine what it will do to us?).
NTAs were banned in 1970. Lobbying by Proctor & Gamble in 1980 put them back into home products although they are extremely cancer causing. What are they for? ONLY to make more suds in detergents to make you think your clothes are getting cleaner.
Our immune system is very powerful, like a janitorial system. Giving our bodies good nutrition means our body can repair itself and be able to handle what we face in the world. Household chemicals cause all kinds of symptoms - from cardiovascular problems, panic attacks, and anxiety attacks to bedwetting.
Eliminating the cause of the environmental illness is more effective and much less expensive than treating the symptoms. Prevention - 80% - 90% effective. Treatments - 50% - 60% effective. What seems to make the most sense? How can you find help?
Forward this to someone you care about.
We are fortunate with Shaklee. We can introduce loved ones to Shaklee knowing that it is a shopping system that everyone can benefit from using. We have a network of satisfied customers with the ability to turn this healthy lifestyle into a vibrant business if they chose to do so.

How Clean Is Your House?
How clean is your house and how safe are you?
Did you know??
Did you know??
- 81,000 is the number of registered chemicals, only a fraction of which have been tested of human help concerns.
- 9 Out of 10 Poison exposures are suspected to be from household products
- The Consumer Product Safety Commision reported that 150 common household chemicals have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalitites.
- When people think about product poisoning they think about injesting a chemical ---that is not the case. It can be being exposed, smelling that chemical or it touching your skin.
- Every 13 seconds a family calls the poison control regarding an exposure to a poison at home.
- Some of those are deadly!!
DO NOT ASSUME BECAUSE A PRODUCT IS ON THE MARKET IT IS SAFE!!!
Have you ever read the back of your cleaning bottle. I sure hadn't until I started hearing about all of this stuff. I started looking for ways to help my son with his allergies. I don't want him to grow up being "that kid". In that search I found out it wasn't only my son I needed to be concerned about it. It was my whole family!!
I decided I had to do something to change that in my house. I started using safer products and you want to know the result already?? Within 2 weeks my son who takes 3 allergy medicines a day already doesn't need 1. The most powerful 1 too. Now that doesn't mean I he doesn't need them when he goes somewhere else. If we could all understand this think about what a nicer world it would be for our kids. I have 2 set of grandparents who have switched now and an uncle already.
As my 11 year old would say. Who creates change in this world? YOU!!!!
It's time we as a country start thinking about our own health and our children's. Even your animals.
Take the time tonight and read the warnings on your cleaners.

Your heart health
Feb is National Hearth Month so before this month ends I want to share some ideas with you on your heart health or someone that you love. This is a very important subject for me. My daughter's grandma just passed away last year from heart disease at the age of 54. This is something we ALL need to consider.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Over 4,500 research studies on omega-3 fatty acids effects on overall health have been conducted in the last 25 years. Supportive, but not conclusive, research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Some research shows that high levels of omega-3 fatty acids promote cardiovascular health and help retain normal blood pressures and triglyceride levels (Spiller, Jensen, & Scala, 1987). Other studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the risk of heart disease (Calder, 2004), help retain healthy triglyceride levels (Harris, 1999), help retain normal blood pressure (Geleijnse, et al., 2002), and even supports brain; (Yong, & Conquer, 2005) visual (SanGiovanni, & Chew, 2005); and joint functions (Curtis, et. al., 2004).
However, while the American Heart Association recommends that we eat two servings of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids every week, most people only eat fish three times per month. Moreover, there are growing concerns about unsafe levels of contaminants like mercury and lead that are now commonly found in fish.
Heart Smart Product: • Omega – Our pharmaceutical-grade omega-3s goes through a triple molecular distillation process to removes all impurities and contaminants such as lead, mercury, arsentic, cadmium, dioxins, and PCBs

At any age it is very important that we think about these things.

SITUATION TOTALS
______ Total A’s ______ Total B’s ______ Total C’s ______ Total D’s
* This test is the exact duplicate of “The Hartman Personality Profile” outlined in his book: The Color Code by Taylor Hartman, Ph.D. There are many other personality tests available, along with many great books on this intriguing study of human nature, none as effective as the personal experience you gain working with others!
GRAND TOTALS!
Now ADD your totals from numbers 1-30 to those from numbers 31-45 and get your Grand Totals!
______ Total A’s ______ Total B’s ______ Total C’s ______ Total D’s
The four personality color types are assigned to each of the letters:
RED = A GREEN = B YELLOW = C BLUE = D
(In my studies I have found that many authorities on this subject each use different colors that correspond to the different personality types. In other words, one persons yellow is another person’s Blue. This happens to be the first way I wrote it down over 15 years ago, so this is the way that I correlate the colors to personalities and behaviors.)
INTERPRETATION: The letter with the highest score depicts your natural personality type. Many people will notice a blend of personality traits that will be shown with answers in each column. A purist would be someone with a score of 30 or more in one letter category. This group will find it easy to relate to the characteristics, motives and behaviors of their particular color. However, we are all very complex beings, aren’t we?! While we truly only have one primary personality color (many believe, granted at birth) many may find themselves with a mixed personality which can show itself with two or more colors representing almost equal totals. A person with a strong secondary color may find it harder to understand and deal with some of the situations we find in life:
Examples:
RED-GREEN: If you are strong in both colors you could actually increase productivity by invoking your authority to complete the task at hand (Red) and then feel guilty afterwards for making that person feel bad in the process (Green)
BLUE-YELLOW: You are a people person! Relaxed and you will usually take the path of least resistance. People naturally gravitate toward you as you feel comfortable with yourself and make others feel comfortable around you with a strong cense of excitement and fun.
GREEN-YELLOW: Another people person. Comfortable in who you are, you express yourself softly with great sincerity. People find you determined yet flexible and you can get along with most anyone.
BLUE-RED: A natural leader without much conflict in your personalities. The Red in you directs your productive life while the Blue side of you reminds you to stop and smell the rose’s life provides.
CONFLICTING COMBINATIONS: RED-YELLOW’s and BLUE-GREEN’s are very complex and often times competing personality types. The Blue in you will pack up the kids for a fun day at the park until your Green side comes out and creates guilt at all the stuff that still needs to be done in the office! Red-Yellow’s are tough to read because they can be determined and passionate one minute (R) and passively quite the next (Y).

SITUATION TOTALS
______ Total A’s ______ Total B’s ______ Total C’s ______ Total D’s
* This test is the exact duplicate of “The Hartman Personality Profile” outlined in his book: The Color Code by Taylor Hartman, Ph.D. There are many other personality tests available, along with many great books on this intriguing study of human nature, none as effective as the personal experience you gain working with others!
GRAND TOTALS!
Now ADD your totals from numbers 1-30 to those from numbers 31-45 and get your Grand Totals!
______ Total A’s ______ Total B’s ______ Total C’s ______ Total D’s
The four personality color types are assigned to each of the letters:
RED = A GREEN = B YELLOW = C BLUE = D
(In my studies I have found that many authorities on this subject each use different colors that correspond to the different personality types. In other words, one persons yellow is another person’s Blue. This happens to be the first way I wrote it down over 15 years ago, so this is the way that I correlate the colors to personalities and behaviors.)
INTERPRETATION: The letter with the highest score depicts your natural personality type. Many people will notice a blend of personality traits that will be shown with answers in each column. A purist would be someone with a score of 30 or more in one letter category. This group will find it easy to relate to the characteristics, motives and behaviors of their particular color. However, we are all very complex beings, aren’t we?! While we truly only have one primary personality color (many believe, granted at birth) many may find themselves with a mixed personality which can show itself with two or more colors representing almost equal totals. A person with a strong secondary color may find it harder to understand and deal with some of the situations we find in life:
Examples:
RED-GREEN: If you are strong in both colors you could actually increase productivity by invoking your authority to complete the task at hand (Red) and then feel guilty afterwards for making that person feel bad in the process (Green)
BLUE-YELLOW: You are a people person! Relaxed and you will usually take the path of least resistance. People naturally gravitate toward you as you feel comfortable with yourself and make others feel comfortable around you with a strong cense of excitement and fun.
GREEN-YELLOW: Another people person. Comfortable in who you are, you express yourself softly with great sincerity. People find you determined yet flexible and you can get along with most anyone.
BLUE-RED: A natural leader without much conflict in your personalities. The Red in you directs your productive life while the Blue side of you reminds you to stop and smell the rose’s life provides.
CONFLICTING COMBINATIONS: RED-YELLOW’s and BLUE-GREEN’s are very complex and often times competing personality types. The Blue in you will pack up the kids for a fun day at the park until your Green side comes out and creates guilt at all the stuff that still needs to be done in the office! Red-Yellow’s are tough to read because they can be determined and passionate one minute (R) and passively quite the next (Y).
REMEMBER: Your personality color does not make you good or bad. It is just who you are and every one of us is a unique creation. Like no two finger prints are exactly the same, no two personalities are exactly the same.. Understanding who we are however will allow us to work on our strengths and weaknesses and, most importantly, recognize who we are dealing with so we can be as effective as possible when working with others.

Want to loose weight??
If you're looking for: SIMPLE, TASTES GREAT, LOSE INCHES NOT MUSCLE, HEALTHY, STEADY INCH LOSS - check out our new “CINCH” PROGRAM
Need a “boost” in your day? Cinch Energy Tea Mix is for you! Exotic white, red, and Matcha green teas are delicately harvested and blended to create this extraordinary drink. Whether you drink it hot or cold, it'll give you a natural energy lift and a feeling of well-being. Grab a packet and drink it on the run - mixes easily hot or cold - don’t forget this important “boosting” product! It’s a natural energy lift.
Cinch 3-in-1 Boost supplement Boosts metabolism. Help keep blood sugar steady. Get the vitamins and minerals you need. Can the ingredients in these little tablets solve all your problems? No. But they can solve three of them. With Cinch Boost™, a proprietary thermogenic blend with 270 mg of calorie-burning EGCG Helps retain normal blood sugar levels, which may help feelings of hunger. After you get the kit you can decide which flavors you prefer and then plan your next order.
When you diet your metabolism is negatively impacted creating situations where no matter how little food you eat, you cannot lose. On most programs you lose a significant amount of “muscle” and muscle stimulates your metabolism!! The goal was to be able to maintain muscle, retain good metabolism …. all while losing fat inches. Test results have been phenomenal Over 180 people are smaller today because of CINCH! Great info at: http://www.cinchclub.com/ & http://www.cinchplan.com/.
CINCH's tagline is "an inch loss program." CINCH is also a weight loss program, but the marketing differentiates us by focusing on inch loss because by building muscle we're firming up in a healthy way and losing inches. Our program is different because it builds muscle and prevents muscle loss--and losing muscle is a huge problem with other programs.
The KEY is leucine, an amino acid that stimulates muscle biosynthesis. Eating more protein isn't going to help you lose weight - more protein doesn't build more muscle. With leucine they've unlocked the secret. When we feel full there's a body signal that protects the muscle mass. The effect of leucine combined with the soy has the impact of 24 grams of protein per shake serving.
Participants in the Fall 2005 study on average lost 1 1/2 pounds a week. But they lost more fat than muscle...and 100% preserved muscle mass. (On the typical diet you lose 5 pounds of muscle). The testimonies were glowing--we heard from Home Team people and Field people. Here are some I wrote down: 33 lbs and 8 inches in 8 weeks. I don't know over what time these numbers came: 22 lbs and 10 inches. 40 lbs and 29 inches. 36 lbs and 21 inches.
One woman lost 60 pounds and went down 10 dress sizes on her program. Many described this as the program for the "rest of us" who got lost in details of other programs, or programs didn't work for whatever reason. People see results quickly and the lean muscle they build will continue to burn more fat as they go into maintenance. The starter kit lasts two weeks (Many items you would not buy more than once--so the program works out to about $10/day over several weeks.)
The starter kit includes:
Ø Daily Cinch shake mix (soy based) both in a canister for at home use & packets for on the go.
Ø Daily Cinch bar for an afternoon snack in flavors called Chocolate
Ø Decadence, Lemon Cranberry, and Peanut Butter Crunch. It says "treat yourself every day." There's 10 grams of protein in each bar. The chocolate is really rich & crunchy. The Lemon Cranberry is creamy - a huge hit, really flavorful.
Ø Berry Almond or Chocolate Chip Meal in a Bars: Packed with Leucine to help you keep muscle and protein to keep you feeling full. A complete breakfast, lunch, or dare we say - dinner? Delicious, healthy and satisfying meal at home or on-the-go. Powered by Leucin to help preserve muscle while you lose weight . With 20 grams of protein to help control hunger and help you feel full
Ø Daily Cinch tea as unsweetened Energy Tea Mix in a small narrow packet of powder that stirs up nicely. One serving daily. Great tasting regular and pomegranate.
Ø Daily nutrition in one unit that brings together Glucose Regulation Complex and the multi.
Ø Pedometer named BUSTER
Ø Tape measure as this is promoted as an inch loss plan
Ø Desktop software to help you design your meals from choices and track your progress
Ø CINCH shaker cup Products can be ordered separately. Also includes a CINCH daily journal
SHAKE MIX. A complete breakfast or lunch in Strawberr, Vanilla or Cocoa. It has 16 grams of protein plus leutine and other foods & nutrients. It's low glycemic. Take two daily or 1 for maintaining
*****Also now in the line of Cinch products meal bars instead of just snack bars, they come in peanut butter choclate chip & Almond Crunch……. Then also added is Café Latte Shake mix********
There are many things to choose from with the Cinch plan, not just what is in the starter kit. Check out www.shaklee.net/green4kids and click weight management and you will see the full line!!

Product Story
Here is something I recieved from someone I thought I would share.....
During the winter of 2005, I took a bit of a tumble while out downhill skiing one fine day (nothing too serious; left a ski, a pole, and my pride behind as I rolled to the bottom of a short mogul run...). Anyways, I wasn't injured that I could tell, but several days later I developed a painful neck-ache.
After a week it got so bad I had to go see a chiropractor, and then a massage therapist, and of course my wonderful wife gave many nice massages too. I tried about 4 trips to the doctor and therapist, and got very distressed because it was not helping! My family doctor prescribed a medication that is supposed to relax the joint muscles (which in fact it did), but he also warned me it was a very powerful and sometimes dangerous drug. I tried it and felt the improvements right away.
After my week of dosage was finished the pain came back. Well I was really freaked out now. I certainly didn't want to be taking a dangerous prescription drug for the rest of my life!
It was about this time I was to make a monthly purchase from Shaklee, and I was reviewing my order to see if I wanted to make any changes (we'd only been Shaklee customers for just over a month at this time), when I saw the picture of the Joint Health Complex.
It occured to me then that this problem I was having in my neck was probably very much related to any other kind of joint problem one might experience. So I bought a bottle just to give it a try. I really wasn't expecting much. In fact, I actually thought that even if I got any relief at all from it, do I really want to spend that additional money each month on a supplement that probably ends up masking the pain more than anything?
Of course I didn't relate that thought to the function of most pharmaceuticals out there!
Well the great news for me was this: After less than 3 weeks my pain was completley gone! I didn't even notice it go. It was a gradual effect. My body simply absorbed this potent form of glucosamine and began its work in rebuilding the cartilage that provides cushioning for the joints in my neck.
It was beautiful!
Also very exciting was after the 90 pills were finished from that bottle, I have not had to buy any more!
You see, it wasn't a temporary masking effect I received... It was permanent!
I now have two very good friends each with different forms of athritis also receiving excellent results from this product. My wife and I also take the soy protein and calcium supplement to maintain strong bones and joints. Thank you very much Shaklee!

Why pick Shaklee???
There are so many companies out there that promise so much. Get rich quick! Quit your job! The promises go on and on. What makes my company different from any of the others you might ask?
1. It's been around since 1954!! I don't think it's going anywhere.
2. Our compensation plan is in the process of being patented. It's that good.
3. You are never on your own. The person who recruited you is now helping you recruit. That's how the method and the compensation plan work. So your are not getting some pack and then trying to figure it out.
4. It is 1 big team. Calls for recognition. Conference calls with people who have made so much money that themselves and their spouses haven't had to work out of the home in years hold conference calls daily if you want to listen in to share how they did it, give you ideas and let you throw out some ideas. You are never alone in your business, but yet your getting that great paycheck.
5. And one of the most important!! Why would you not get behind a company who has been making products that are safe for everyone for over 50 years. That has so much science backing their products no one could ever touch them. It will make a huge change in your children's lives and your own.
Why not is what I would say??

WOW
First today I want to start with some good news! I got a call from my sponsor last night and he made director! The exciting part of that is he started in our business the end of Jan. So good job Mr. Chad Pore! Wow! Any of us can do this. Just takes a little bit of time a few days a week! I am so excited for him.
Let's talk about some things to think about before you join a company. I started a group on myspace for people wanting to work from home, when going through some postings this is actually a reply someone posted to another that was interested in looking for a company, so let's answer some of his questions...
1. the company..well you need to make sure its not in business today and gone by tomorrow..
Over 50 years
2. the need...well the need you need make sure that the product brings value to the market place and if every body need it....
I don't think there is a person out there who should shouldn't be doing their part in the going green movement.
3. the product...well the product you need to make sure that its a product you can belive in...not product or service that can be copied easily...
see above
4. the compensation plan...well im pretty you you want to know how much money you can make....so evaluate it...
See the good news!! Wow and the fact that the money you make now will continue for years to come! How can you beat that??
5. the timing...timing is very important...you want to make sure that not everbody has it...for example if the product has 2% penetration then you have a great opportunity...so that means 2 out of 10 have it...in other words that a great timing....
What better time when we have so many celebrities, ads things everywhere asking every household to do just 1 thing, if we could all just do 1 thing we could help save this planet for our children. Have the joy of just doing more than one thing!!
Why would you want to miss this?? Call me at 816 858 7799 or visit my website at http://www.goinggreen4kids.com/ and start today!!

Let's Talk about Tax Benefits
Let's talk about one of the top benefits of Owning Your Own Home-Based Business.Tax Incentives.Many people overlook this very important benefit but it can make a huge difference for you come Income Tax Day.
Running a business out of your home can save you up to $5,000 or more on your taxes every year even if you don't have success!Here are just some of the things you can write off:
--- Your business start-up costs
--- A portion of your house payment or rent
--- A portion of your utilities
--- Car expenses
--- Travel
--- Meals
--- Magazine subscriptions
--- Child care
--- Telephone bills
--- Postage
--- Office equipment (need a new computer?)
--- Software
--- Bank fees
--- Your Internet service The list goes on......
Many of these things you have and pay for anyway. But now that you can operate a business from home, they become a tax write off.You can even pay your kids to work for you and write it off. Now that's a smart way to save for college.Of course you'll want to consult your accountant as laws vary from state to state, country to country and year to year, but I can promise you this: having a home-based business will help keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of The Tax Man's.Seriously,I don't understand why everyone doesn't start a home business? It must just be a lack of education in this area.Get educated, it's worth a GUARANTEED #3,000 to $5,000 a year in tax savings or more...Here are the tremendous tax advantages from our business and you can instantly have them too:http://lifetimeincome.net/assets/video/cantx2/index.html
I realize it can be a big decision to start a home business. But, please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or just want to discuss options.Until next time.

We need residual income if we want to retire..
I am 30 years old and the more I hear about the years to come and when I reach retirement age it scares me. Will the money I pay in to Social Security even be there? Not just that, can I live off of that and what I can afford to pay in to my 401K with 2 kids? It's not like I have a lot of extra $. I read this article and I think it is something we need to all think about!!
Residual income is money earned today on the work you have done in the past. Which means, you can live the life of your dreams and still earn an income to support yourself while you do. The baby boomer group will be the largest group in history to reach retirement age at the same time.
The sad part about this is that many of them will not be ready for it. Many boomers will have to continue to work in their retirement days to earn an income due to poor retirement planning. Some planned well but the cost of living will increasingly eat up their retirement funds they do have. Still others will want to stay active doing something with a challenge yet fun and on their own time and in their control. A home-based business of their own continues to be on the top of their list. More people today are starting up a home-based business in Network Marketing because it offers the average person an opportunity to earn above average income. No special schooling is needed because you learn as you earn. Look at some of the facts:· A new home-based business opens every ten seconds. · 25% of North America is involved in some sort of home business. · The average home-based business generates over $50,000 yearly in income, while the average working wage is only $22,000 in North America.Did you know that 9 of 10 families now need two working members to just make ends meet? Surveys indicate that 85% of all North Americans would like to own their own business. It's true that individual results can vary, but if you've been around network marketing at all, then you're probably already aware that many people have and do build large organizations of hundreds, even thousands of people like this all the time. Once you build your income to whatever you want it to be earning per year, you can then stop working if you like but you will continue to earn this income well into your future. Better yet, you will see an increase in your income each year afterwards as others who you have trained continue to work on their goals as you have done.
Want to know how you can do this and not have to worry about what we are going to do later down the road??? Visit my website http://www.goinggreen4cash.com/. I have started building an income I will receive for the rest of my life, then also pass on to my kids.
