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.

The Two Choices We Face
by Jim Rohn
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

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.

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.

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."
