Here is how to make your investment friends jealous.
Here is how to make your investment friends jealous.
Let's say that you have $100 to invest. Where would you invest it?
You could be safe and put that $100 in a bank savings account. At 5% interest, you would get a nice, safe, guaranteed return of $5 at the end of the year.
Of course the government wants its share of taxes, so you'd only be left with about $3.50 net. While this is very safe, it's probably not your idea of successful investing.
So why not try investing in the stock market?
Maybe you could invest in some company that you are very familiar with. You'd like to have an inside view or advantage, so you'll stick with a company you intimately know.
Now you buy one share of that company's stock for $100. Because you have inside information, your share of stock appreciates to $200 at the end of the year.
Wow! That's a 100% return on your investment. Pretty smart, don't you think?
Not really.
What if you did this?
You invest the $100 in a classified ad in the local newspaper. By adding a little personal work to your money investment, you successfully recruit one new serious distributor.
And with a little more personal effort, you train your new distributor to be productive.
Your return? An extra $50 a month in bonus income. That's $600 extra per year! That's a 600% return on your investment.
Pretty smart.
But it gets better.
What if you invested the $100 in training?
Maybe you invested the $100 to go to your company's regional training seminar. At the seminar, you learned how to prospect and recruit new distributors without running an ad.
In other words, you won't have to spend $100 to run an ad every time you want to locate and sponsor a new distributor. Instead, you've learned expert methods of locating hot prospects without having to spend any money.
Now you can sponsor one new distributor every month who earns you an extra $50 in monthly income. At the end of the year, you'd have an extra monthly income of $600. That's $7,200 extra a year -- a 7,200% return on your investment.
And that's the kind of investment return that separates part-time distributors from financially independent leaders.

Jeffrey Dach MD
Jeffrey Dach MD has left a new comment on your post "Do Cholesterol Drugs Do Any Good?":
The truth is that NO woman should ever be given Lipitor or any other statin drug for elevated cholesterol.
There are no statin trials with even the slightest hint of a mortality benefit in women and women should be told so.
In other words, statin drugs don’t work for women.

USANA 2008 International Convention
We have just learned that, in addition to Dr. Myron Wentz and Denis Waitley, keynote speakers at the USANA 2008 International Convention, will include:
Robert Kiyosaki - http://www.richdad.com/
Paul Zane Pilzer - http://www.paulzanepilzer.com/
Tim Sales - http://www.mlmbrilliance.com/about-tim-sales.cfm
This is the first time in history that all of these speakers have appeared at the same venue together, and USANA made it happen!
Many people would pay hundreds of dollars to hear just ONE of these outstanding speakers. Now they have the opportunity to hear ALL of them just for the low price of a USANA Convention ticket.
Please pass this information on to all of your USANA team members, and encourage them to register for Convention NOW while the Early Bird ticket price is still in effect.

Vision
Vision
What will the next decade hold for you? Vision is the capacity to look beyond the moment into the vast potential of tomorrow. What is your vision?
We read in the bible about King Solomon, who in his timeless wisdom said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I'd like to paraphrase that statement, "Where there is no vision, a company fails." It's no accident that one of the phrases Dr. Wentz seems most fond of - and that I've heard hundreds of times over the years is, "Share my Vision."
Dr. Wentz has given voice to his vision: "I dream of a world free from pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease. The USANA family will be the healthiest family on earth". I'm certain some people may view Dr. Wentz' vision as impractical - or even impossible. I don't know...maybe Dr. Wentz even feels a bit uncomfortable being called a visionary. The truth is, a vision is little more than an empty dream until it is widely shared and accepted. Once that happens, it acquires the force necessary to move an organization in the intended direction. And look at us! Look at the direction we're headed. We will soon be a billion dollar company! I am proud to report that Dr. Wentz is surrounded by people who have adopted his vision and made it our own. USANA has empowered us to take a stand for our preferred future.
I realize building this business can be a bit scary at times. It takes some courage to do what we do. In order to be successful in building a USANA business we're forced to eliminate caution, we must step outside our comfort zone. Let me share three strategies that have helped me and may help you clarify your vision and reach beyond your fear:
1. Get to higher ground.
One of my favorite video clips is of Dr. Wentz standing on top of a mountain in Switzerland. You might have seen it; the camera pans around him and it appears he is looking out over the entire earth. Symbolically, we need to do the same thing...broaden our perspective and see ourselves in that big picture. Dream big. Don't sweat the small stuff. Occasionally I get a call that goes something like this: "I just got my order and one of my nutrimeal cans has a dent in it." Here is another favorite: "I don't think USANA is putting as much cotton in the top of the Poly C bottle as they used to."
Can I be frank? These people have failed the vision test!
2. Craft your own vision.
We can and should share Dr. Wentz' vision, but we need to personalize it. Tell your own story. I promise you, if you're passionate about it, your story will evolve over time. When I first started building my business back in 1994, I envisioned earning $100.00 a month. I was coming from a place of scarcity and low self-esteem. I knew I wanted to keep my daughter on the USANA products so I had to figure out a way to make $100.00 a month so I could afford to stay on autoship. I started telling our story and wow...the checks kept coming. My vision improved! As I began making a difference in the lives of others my own life began to change dramatically. I was able to look forward to a time that hadn't yet arrived. Before long I could see it and feel it as though it was real. And now it is.
3. Wake up and go to work.
Give your vision substance. Take action. If your vision stays in your mind...it is simply wishful thinking. Initiate conversations. Pick up the phone. Set up appointments. Tell your story. Use the USANA tools. Show the plan. You get my point. I've learned a valuable lesson by associating with some of USANA's elite athletes. Even professional athletes drag themselves to the gym. You simply have to exercise to get the energy to exercise. Building your business is exactly the same. I promise you won't sponsor 100% of the people you don't talk to! Just do it...ultimately, the power to achieve our vision lies within us.
Let me ask again: What will the next decade hold for you? Can you predict your future? Yes, you can - because you can create it.

Star Diamond Director, Susan Waitley
Your 200 “No”s will lead to your Successful “Yes’s”
At the Diamond University in Minneapolis, Star Diamond Director, Susan Waitley, challenged us to enthusiastically share Usana and gather at least 200 “No’s”.
Why did she say that? We want “Yes’s”!!!
1. Most people need to hear about something at least 7 times before they make a positive decision and take action. Yet, most Associates give up on them after only 1-2 “No’s” Find creative ways to “Drip on them lightly 8 times,” as Lyndon Redmond, another Star Diamond would say.
2. “No” can mean “Not now, the timing isn’t right.” Or “No, I need to KNOW more first.” Or “No, I am misunderstanding what you said.” Or “No, I’m feeling like you are good at this, but I wouldn’t be. Will I get help?” Or “No, I’ve only met you. I need to get to know you better first.” Or “No, I always say no, no matter what. Come again another time.” Or “No, I feel you are being a little too pushy. Give me space and time.” Etc. etc. etc.
3. The odds are that you will need to speak with 10 people about Usana before you find someone who catches the vision for short or longterm health and finances. Most people aren’t in that space yet. Rejoice when you get a “No, not now” write them down….that means you are closer to a “Yes” and you can just keep in touch creatively and gently with the first group!
4. You’ll be getting great practice, as well as results, as you take massive action.
5. Go out in two’s, so that you can evaluate what you did right with each interview, and where you could improve the next time.
6. Susan asked the crowd to raise their hands if they had received 100 No’s since they started sharing Usana with others…. 200 …. 400…. 500… 1000’s (John Cunningham, 2 Star Diamond, then raised his hand with vigor) In our 12 years, we’ve had thousands pass up this wonderful company too, and it hurts, because we know what they are missing!
It’s a true challenge to help people discover their needs and then see where Usana is a wonderful opportunity. Remember that Diamond Directors constantly hear “No’s” but they persist and keep searching for other potential Gold’s, Rubies, Emeralds and Diamonds. They are rare. They often don’t look like precious gemstores. They are “in the rough” so you might pass them by or give up on them. (Remember that we said no to Usana six times before we actually sat down to go through a presentation. We are SO thankful that our sponsor didn’t give up on us!)
People may not know they are gemstones, because they’ve never had the opportunity or encouragement to jump out of their comfort zones and pursue a marvelous dream. That’s your job. And what an exciting mission! You are simply helping people catch the vision that there is hope for a healthier life, with more time freedom, with a great new world of friends….. with extra income to give away, to save or to enjoy with some extra pleasures.
So…. Start writing down a list of “No’s” to follow up on. Put a great big “H” for “Hooray” when they catch the vision and join your team. And meanwhile, go out and get more “No’s until you find those who are ready to embrace an exciting new life with Usana!

3. The odds are that you will need to speak with 10 people about Usana before you find someone who catches the vision for short or longterm health and finances. Most people aren’t in that space yet. Rejoice when you get a “No, not now” write them down….that means you are closer to a “Yes” and you can just keep in touch creatively and gently with the first group!
4. You’ll be getting great practice, as well as results, as you take massive action.
5. Go out in two’s, so that you can evaluate what you did right with each interview, and where you could improve the next time.
6. Susan asked the crowd to raise their hands if they had received 100 No’s since they started sharing Usana with others…. 200 …. 400…. 500… 1000’s (John Cunningham, 2 Star Diamond, then raised his hand with vigor) In our 12 years, we’ve had thousands pass up this wonderful company too, and it hurts, because we know what they are missing!
It’s a true challenge to help people discover their needs and then see where Usana is a wonderful opportunity. Remember that Diamond Directors constantly hear “No’s” but they persist and keep searching for other potential Gold’s, Rubies, Emeralds and Diamonds. They are rare. They often don’t look like precious gemstores. They are “in the rough” so you might pass them by or give up on them. (Remember that we said no to Usana six times before we actually sat down to go through a presentation. We are SO thankful that our sponsor didn’t give up on us!)
People may not know they are gemstones, because they’ve never had the opportunity or encouragement to jump out of their comfort zones and pursue a marvelous dream. That’s your job. And what an exciting mission! You are simply helping people catch the vision that there is hope for a healthier life, with more time freedom, with a great new world of friends….. with extra income to give away, to save or to enjoy with some extra pleasures.
So…. Start writing down a list of “No’s” to follow up on. Put a great big “H” for “Hooray” when they catch the vision and join your team. And meanwhile, go out and get more “No’s until you find those who are ready to embrace an exciting new life with Usana!

Low-glycemic meals promote a post-meal environment
Low-glycemic meals promote a post-meal environment that is favorable for reduced food consumption. This may be an advantage in the control of obesity and related disorders, including insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes.
Low-glycemic meals produce favorable leptin and insulin responses, resulting in lower food consumption
In a recent study, metabolic effects of meals with varying glycemic index (GI) were evaluated. In a group of healthy volunteers, glucose, insulin, and leptin responses to two contrasting breakfast cereals were measured. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that indicates the degree of hunger to the hypothalamus of the brain. Lower leptin levels trigger a sense of satiety and decreased hunger.
Meals were provided on two separate occasions in random order after a 12-hour overnight fast, and consisted of 50 g of available carbohydrate from either Corn Flakes (Kellogg's), or Fiber One (General Mills). Blood samples were obtained at rest, and 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after eating. The GI was calculated from the glucose response to the test meal normalized against a 50 g oral glucose load.
The average GI for Corn Flakes was 125 and 49 for Fiber One. These meals were classified as high GI and low GI, respectively, and were significantly different from each other. The insulin response following the low glycemic meal was significantly reduced compared to the high glycemic meal. The high glycemic meal significantly suppressed circulating leptin levels compared to the low glycemic meal.
Lower insulin response and higher circulating leptin levels suggest that low-glycemic meals promote a post-meal environment that is favorable for reduced food consumption; this may be advantageous in the control of obesity and related disorders including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Hello, Usana family!
Hello, Usana family!
Usana is an awesome business, as you all know. And using the tools is strongly encouraged so you can benefit through the growth of your business.
Your question about the lead that is looking for a "JOB" (read the lead's tasks) is directly addressed on Diamond Director Michael Ray's CD, "Cold Call Connection." You can get it at Pro Tools (www.unitogether.com). He has that specific example, and he suggests not wasting
your time. Even if you are able to convince them somehow to invest the money, they aren't going to be happy because that's not what they are looking for.....I've been there, done that, more than once and in my experience I agree with Michael, it's a waste of time.
"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire,
sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon
. . . must inevitably come to pass.”
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept
anything but the best, you very often get it."
--Somerset Maugham

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (USNA)
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec 19, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (USNA), a health supplement supplier of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), had four PRCA riders who placed at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, which ended Saturday in Las Vegas.
Steer wrestler Todd Suhn impressed the PRCA and fans alike at the Thomas & Mack Center by grabbing second place in the final round of the Wrangler National Finals. Suhn placed eighth in the year-end world standings and fifth in the overall Wrangler tour standings.
Barrel racer and USANA Associate Vickie Solmonsen, who stands in eighth place in the world standings and third in the overall tour standings, took home sixth place in the final barrel racing round. Bareback rider Kelly Timbermann placed 12th in the finals, holds an eighth-place ranking in the world and holds an overall Wrangler tour ranking of second place in bareback riding. Steer wrestler Sean Mulligan, who sits in fourth place in the world standings this year, finished sixth in the final round and second in the overall standings at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
"It was a great year and the Wrangler National Finals was spectacular," Mulligan said. "USANA's health supplements were a huge reason that I was able to perform at a high level for 10 days in a row. Many contestants got run down over the long 10 rounds in Las Vegas. I was able to win three performances, place in two more, and finish second overall at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. I believe that when I'm away from home that it is imperative that I have quality health supplements available to perform at my best."
USANA is excited to be associated with these great PRCA athletes and congratulates them for their showing at the Wrangler National Finals as well as their impressive overall standings for 2007.

Supplement Safety Myths & Facts
MYTH: If it's natural, it must be good for you.
FACT: While research has shown many natural treatments to be safe and effective, they should be taken with consideration.
While many vitamins, minerals, and herbs are known to safely prevent or treat a variety of diseases, they work by altering your body chemistry—just like a medicine from your pharmacy. So before you take an herb or supplement, find out how it might interact with medications you are already taking. Sometimes an interaction can mean that a medicine is depleting vital nutrients from your body, and that an extra vitamin supplement is best for your health—but it's always a good idea to check. It’s also important to never discontinue or change dosage of a medication in favor of a natural treatment unless supervised by a doctor.
MYTH: Everything I need to know about a supplement I can read on the bottle.
FACT: Government regulations restrict manufacturers from making specific health claims—even those based on results of scientific studies.
To find out about the potential benefits and risks of taking a supplement start by doing a little research. It’s always wise to talk to a knowledgeable healthcare professional before taking any supplement, especially if you are taking medications. Also, special safety considerations apply to pregnant or breast-feeding women and to children.
To learn what scientific research has found about your medication’s interactions with herbs or supplements, look in Healthnotes Rx Answers. For reported side effects of a specific herb or nutritional supplement, look it up in Vitamins & Herbs.
MYTH: The latest scientific research is the last word on a supplement’s safety or effectiveness.
FACT: The quality of the full body of research should be considered—not just the latest.
In scientific process, scientists never consider one single study to be the last word; rather, each new study is added to previous research and becomes part of the medical community’s “discussion.”
Keep in mind that when the news media report on new studies, they tend to look for the sensational. Though thousands of studies are published every year showing the benefits of herbs and supplements for a wide range of diseases, studies that make the news are frequently those that claim a supplement is dangerous or doesn’t work. On the other hand, some research is conducted by groups that stand to profit from positive results, such as a supplement manufacturer “proving” that their supplement works for a particular health condition.
The next time you see a headline splashed across the news—especially about those supplements that continue to be the subject of heated debate, such as St. John’s wort, echinacea, vitamin E, vitamin C, ginkgo, ephedra, and kava—keep some perspective by thinking about the following:
Who is doing the reporting? Is it a health column describing the study itself? A TV reporter relating second- or third-hand news from a press release or conference proceedings?
How strong is the evidence? (Some studies lead to convincing conclusions while others are preliminary.)
Are the results published in a scientific journal?
Did the researchers use a control group to compare treatment results with the experiences of people who didn't use it? (If not, improvement attributed to a treatment may be a placebo affect.)
Was the supplement given in a form and amount, and for a duration, that could be expected to be effective?
Was the study conducted by people who have no vested interest in the outcome?
Is there a body of research that suggests it may help with a particular health condition?
Caution: It is never advisable to discontinue or change dosage of a medication and/or begin a different treatment without a doctor's supervision.
MYTH: Medicines are always more effective than natural treatments.
FACT: Some natural treatments can be at least as effective as medicines; however, it's important to properly evaluate treatment options before deciding which to use.
When you are considering treatment options, discuss the following with your healthcare provider when considering what to try:
What are the risks of delaying known effective treatment in order to try an alternative remedy?
Is the body of research on a supplement’s effectiveness positive or inconclusive, and does it appear to be safe when taken in the proper amounts?
How strong is the evidence for the medical treatment, and what is the expected degree of improvement from taking it?
Are a supplement’s costs equivalent or less than those of the medicines used to treat the same condition?
How do the potential dangers of taking the supplement compare with the relative dangers of taking the over-the-counter or prescription medicine?
Asking such questions will help you interpret the significance of scientific findings. To find answers, talk to a knowledgeable professional, and use a science-based resource, such as Healthnotes, that provides an evaluation of up-to-date research.
Being informed is the best way to make good decisions for your health.

Nutrient-poor food, or "junk food" causes obesity
According to a large national survey, nutrient-poor food, or "junk food," contributes nearly 30% of all the energy (calories) consumed in the US population. Efforts to reduce obesity should focus on both individual and policy actions to reduce the importance of nutrient-poor foods in the US diet.
Junk food makes up nearly one-third of calories in American diet A study of 4,700 adults showed that despite the increased popularity of low- carbohydrate diets, almost one-third of Americans' calories are coming from 'empty calorie' foods such as sweets and desserts, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Salty snacks and fruit-flavored drinks make up another five percent.
Lead researcher Gladys Block, a professor of epidemiology and public health nutrition at University of California, Berkeley, used data from a U.S. government survey called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. She analyzed the answers of participants interviewed in 1999 and 2000 who were asked to report all the foods they ate in the previous 24 hours. "We know people are eating a lot of junk food, but to have almost one-third of Americans' calories coming from those categories is a shocker. It's no wonder there's an obesity epidemic in this country," Block said in a statement.
Sodas contributed 7.1 percent of the total calories eaten. Sweets topped the list, followed by hamburgers, pizza, and potato chips. By contrast, fruits and vegetables made up only about 10 percent of calories in the diet. "It's important to emphasize that sweets, desserts, snacks, and alcohol are contributing calories without providing vitamins and minerals," said Block. "
You can actually be obese and still be undernourished with regard to important nutrients. We shouldn't be telling people to eat less - we should be telling people to eat differently."

By contrast, fruits and vegetables made up only about 10 percent of calories in the diet. "It's important to emphasize that sweets, desserts, snacks, and alcohol are contributing calories without providing vitamins and minerals," said Block. "
You can actually be obese and still be undernourished with regard to important nutrients. We shouldn't be telling people to eat less - we should be telling people to eat differently."

SoyaMax
For future reference, here is information for your files on SoyaMax.
SoyaMax
24 grams of soy protein per serving
Contains a high-quality soy protein isolate
25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease*
Guaranteed levels of naturally occurring soy isoflavones
SOYAMAX™ AND A HEALTHY HEART*Twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A single serving of SOYAMAX™ supplies 24 grams of soy protein. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States , with a death from CVD occurring every 33 seconds, or more than 2,600 every day. Soy's support of cardiovascular health is thought to come from the relation between soy protein consumption and serum lipid concentrations. Several studies have shown that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein better maintains healthy serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, provided they are at healthy levels to begin with.*
SOY: THE HEALTHY PROTEINLike animal protein, soy protein provides all the essential amino acids. However, it contains very little fat and no cholesterol. SOYAMAX is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains small amounts of many essential minerals, as well as other important compounds such as isoflavones. Isoflavones may help maintain optimal bone health by retaining calcium.* SOYAMAX contains a guaranteed level of naturally occurring soy isoflavones. With one of the highest concentrations of soy protein available today, SOYAMAX also has a low fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only one gram of fat. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. SOYAMAX is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and is easily digestible.
PHYTOCHEMICALSMany of soy's benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors (which may help maintain a healthy immune system*) and saponins (which demonstrate antioxidant activity*). Other important nutrients in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.
We all know that protein builds strong bodies, and it's not difficult to get protein from a normal diet. It's not so easy, however, to obtain high-quality protein that contains the full range of essential amino acids in amounts proportional to the body's needs. 1
SoyaMax is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains all the essential amino acids and is the most complete vegetable protein source known today. Soy protein isolate also contains small amounts of many essential minerals as well as other important compounds, such as isoflavones. USANA's exclusive PotenSoy" formulation of soy protein in SoyaMax guarantees a full 60 mg of isoflavones per serving.
SoyaMax contains amounts of soy protein that are among the highest concentrations available today, with the lowest fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only 1 gm of fat. SoyaMax is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and it's easily digestible, too.
SOY'S MANY HEALTH BENEFITS
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes that twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Soy protein also has antioxidant effects and has been shown to suppress the oxidation of LDL and cholesterol.3* Soy protein may also help to promote bone health, primarily by lessening calcium loss in the urine.4* Soy protein also provides B vitamins, iron, and other minerals. Health professionals also advocate soy for its value in helping regulate hormones.
PHYTOCHEMICALS
Many of soy's health benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors, which may protect cells from radiation and environmental pollutants;* phytates, which may enhance the immune system;* and saponins, which demonstrate antioxidant activity.* Other important phytochemicals in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.5 THE POTENSOY FORMULATIONMany of the soy products available in the United States have been processed in a way that removes most of the isoflavones, or cannot guarantee their levels. SoyaMax with PotenSoyTM contains a guaranteed minimum of 2.5 mg of isoflavones per gram of soy protein.
SOY PROTEIN ISOLATEThe soy protein in SoyaMax is produced by an isoelectric/water process. This process delivers a high concentration of soy protein and leaves most of the isoflavones intact. The result is an isolate with a protein content of 90 percent and a high level of isoflavones. (my comment: it is my understanding that genistein and diadzein
are derived from soy protein isolate)
INGREDIENTS: POTENSOY (SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, ISOFLAVONE CONCENTRATE), NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR.
What is the Amino Acid profile of a serving of Soyamax?
Soyamax contains the following amino acids in each serving:
ALANINE 1.0 g
