Higher plasma vitamin C concentrations predict lower risk of stroke in adults
Higher plasma vitamin C concentrations predict lower risk of stroke in adults
To date, clinical trials have not shown significant benefit of vitamin C supplementation in reducing stroke risk, but they have not examined the relation between plasma vitamin C concentrations and stroke risk in a general population.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the relation between baseline plasma vitamin C concentrations and risk of incident stroke in a British population of over 20,000 adult men and women. The participants completed a health questionnaire and attended a clinic during 1993"1997. After an average follow-up time of 9.5 years, the participants in the top fourth of plasma vitamin C levels had a 42% lower risk of stroke compared to those with the lowest levels. These results were independent of age, sex, smoking, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, physical activity, diabetes, social class, alcohol consumption, and any supplement use.
Plasma vitamin C concentrations, therefore, may act as an indicator of lifestyle or other factors associated with reduced stroke risk and may be helpful in determining those at high risk of stroke.

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.

Health & Freedom/Tuesday, January 29 (6:00 - 7:00 pm) *
Health & Freedom
Dave Fonder is a Ruby director and a Top 100 income earner in USANA. But, it didn't start out that way. USANA found Dave 7 years ago when he was working 60 to 70 hours a week at his own company which had taken him 30 years to build. That company had robbed Dave of his time and his health. Regaining his health was all that mattered and thanks to USANA products and diet, Dave has his health back. Also, although Dave was skeptical at the start, he discovered that the power of the USANA compensation plan has given him the time freedom of which his tradition business had robbed him.
Nancy Schultz is a Gold director with USANA. Seeking financial security, she owned 5 different businesses in the last 25 years. Her last two businesses were a Citgo and a McDonald's restaurant and while convenience stores gave her the security she sought, the cost of that financial security was a mountain of headaches and no vacation time for the preceding 18 years. Three years ago when introduced to USANA, she worked it on the in-betweens of her busy schedule. That part-time effort allowed Nancy to sell her traditional businesses allowing her to focus on USANA full-time.
Both Dave and Nancy joined USANA for financial freedom, among other important reasons, and find it a rewarding way to help other people.

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.

Do Cholesterol Drugs Do Any Good?
On newsstands now, for the first time ever on a major magazine (BusinessWeek) is a cover story entitled, "Lipitor: For Many People, Cholesterol Drugs May Not Do Any Good."
Follow this link Do Cholesterol Drugs Do Any Good? to BusinessWeek online.
Here are the reasons that I think this would be of interest to those in USANA:
1. Heart disease is the number cause of death for both men and women, and it is mostly caused by our lifestyle choices; diet, lack of exercise, smoking, obesity, high homocysteine levels, deficiency of antioxidants (oxidized LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and arteries). It is not caused by a lack of statin drugs. Heart disease and atherosclerosis is caused by oxidative stress. To maintain heart health antioxidants and a proper lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc.) are critical; i.e.; the USANA message.
2. Statin drugs are the number one prescribed drugs in the U.S., let alone the world, and cause a depletion in co-enzyme Q10 levels in the body, with resultant serious side-effects. We in USANA know something about the importance of co-Q10.
3. It is difficult for USANA associates to encourage potential customers/associates to be on USANA because their doctors have them on statin drugs, and put down the use of nutritional supplements.
4. The article in BusinessWeek (January 28, 2008) provides 3rd-party information that shows that statin drugs, although they lower LDL cholesterol, they do NOT prevent heart attacks, strokes, and death in the majority of cases (actually, according to the article out of 100 people on a statin drug, only 1 person will benefit). All of them are having their co-Q10 levels depleted, and their cardiac function is being impaired, among other side-effects.
5. The article ALSO points out that the ONLY people to benefit from statin drugs are those who are at high risk for heart attacks (people with coronary artery disease), and even then, they should be on low-dose statin drugs (10 to 20 mg), ...with combination use of co-Q10 to off-set the side-effects of the drug. (I want to point out here that there are many good physicians both in and outside USANA who are properly prescribing low-dose statin drugs WITH antioxidants, including co-Q10 because the medical research indicates that is the responsible protocol at this time among those who are at high risk for heart disease.)
6. The statin drugs mechanism of action in reducing the risk of repeat heart attack in those who are at high risk of heart attack is NOT through the lowering of LDL cholesterol (as I have been writing about for years), but is through this drugs anti-inflammatory / antioxidant effect ! This has been one of the on-going themes of my messages, and add all of the above together, I believe it all applies to the TRUE HEALTH message.
I think it is a turning point in the media, ....unless of course, Pfizer steps up its ads in BusinessWeek and spins, ...excuse me, "sponsors" favorable articles about Lipitor over the next few months, while trashing the use of nutritional supplements, which is par for the course in the battle for people's opinion in the media.

Here are the reasons that I think this would be of interest to those in USANA:
1. Heart disease is the number cause of death for both men and women, and it is mostly caused by our lifestyle choices; diet, lack of exercise, smoking, obesity, high homocysteine levels, deficiency of antioxidants (oxidized LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and arteries). It is not caused by a lack of statin drugs. Heart disease and atherosclerosis is caused by oxidative stress. To maintain heart health antioxidants and a proper lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc.) are critical; i.e.; the USANA message.
2. Statin drugs are the number one prescribed drugs in the U.S., let alone the world, and cause a depletion in co-enzyme Q10 levels in the body, with resultant serious side-effects. We in USANA know something about the importance of co-Q10.
3. It is difficult for USANA associates to encourage potential customers/associates to be on USANA because their doctors have them on statin drugs, and put down the use of nutritional supplements.
4. The article in BusinessWeek (January 28, 2008) provides 3rd-party information that shows that statin drugs, although they lower LDL cholesterol, they do NOT prevent heart attacks, strokes, and death in the majority of cases (actually, according to the article out of 100 people on a statin drug, only 1 person will benefit). All of them are having their co-Q10 levels depleted, and their cardiac function is being impaired, among other side-effects.
5. The article ALSO points out that the ONLY people to benefit from statin drugs are those who are at high risk for heart attacks (people with coronary artery disease), and even then, they should be on low-dose statin drugs (10 to 20 mg), ...with combination use of co-Q10 to off-set the side-effects of the drug.

However, after losing 4 dress sizes in 4 months by using USANA products Bev's friends and acquaintances wanted to know what Bev was doing and she started signing up customers and was getting enough income to cover her monthly product expenses. . Bev was able to quit the practice of law and became a foster parent.

The One and Only Right Way...
The One and Only Right Way...
The idea of duplication has taken on considerable status in the theories of Network Marketing business-building. Some "success systems," however, take this idea too far--to the detriment of many distributors with unique skills and connections, says Tom Schreiter. Here's what the seasoned Networker has to say about the myth and reality of duplication...
by Tom (Big Al) Schreiter
I LIKE THINGS TO BE BLACK AND WHITE, RIGHT OR WRONG WITH no ambiguity. Don't you? Knowing how to do it right saves me from thinking.
So, wouldn't it be nice if there was only one right way to do Network Marketing?
Sure... would be nice. But I certainly haven't found the way. And, I'm not sure why there should be only one way to do Network Marketing right.
I see many ways of doing our business that work. Every day, people succeed in our business, each doing the business a little or a lot differently.
For example: I hate using the telephone. I'm extremely uncomfortable whenever I'm in a phone conversation longer than 30 seconds. So, what would happen if my sponsor told me, "The only way to be successful in Network Marketing is to use the telephone."?
Well, maybe I could force myself to suffer for a month or two, but after a period of continued suffering, I'd look for another way of doing the business that was more comfortable for me--unless I'd already found a way out of the business.
I've sponsored leaders who have built their entire business over the telephone.
The process works. I just choose to do it in a more enjoyable way for me.
My favorite method is to sponsor someone across the kitchen table. Maybe it's my preoccupation with food--I don't know--but that method works great for me.
But what about my leaders who build their business by phone? They'd quickly return to using the telephone if I forced them to do the business in my "table-top" way.
Some leaders build their business through opportunity meetings, product parties, person-to-person cold calls, direct mail, advertising, referrals... many different ways. I respect all these methods. I don't use them all myself, but I respect them. And, as a leader, I try to learn as much as I can about each method, so I can help new distributors who choose one of these alternate ways of building their business.
Network Marketing should be fun. We should enjoy our business. So why would you want to ruin your fun by using a business-building method you hate?
HOW MANY DIFFERENT METHODS are there to build your Network Marketing business?
Lots. I've written five books on recruiting and each book is filled with different methods and techniques.
The biggest service we can render to new distributors is to help them find what method works for them. Then, let's help them use that method to build their business successfully.
Egos and Hero Worship
Here is where the different methods make people uncomfortable: imagine you are a leader and have built your group by running radio ads for opportunity meetings.
Great! It works for you.
However, being human, you decide that you've found the one and only secret to success. In fact, you insist that everyone in your group uses the exact same method (and worships you as the founder of the ultimate Networking success truth, too).
Then what happens?
Soon the radio is full of similar ads. Listeners turn off their attention as soon as they hear the ads run again. Some of your distributors run their own ads that don't work. People with hearing disabilities will never hear of your opportunity. Some communities in the valley don't get good radio reception. Some people are watching TV.
Well, you get the point. This one ultimate truth isn't so ultimate, i.e., it won't work for everybody.
The Duplication Myth
I'm not sure who started the rumor that everything you must do in MLM must be duplicatable for your entire downline. Maybe an escapee from a mental institute? A communist insurgent? A government official? I see no need to insist on duplication of your activities--other than to get your ego massaged.
It's okay to use different activities and methods to achieve the results you want. Just because your sponsor doesn't do opportunity meetings, doesn't mean that you are banned from using this proven activity to build your business.
Some people have natural strengths and talents and should take advantage of them to build their Network Marketing organizations.
One of my friends has a 10,000 mailing list of customers who know and trust him. What am I going to say to him?
"Don't mail or contact your customers. Sure, lots of them would love to join and be in your business, but it's not duplicatable! No one else has 10,000 customers. Don't do it. You're setting a bad example."
I don't think I could tell my friend that. It's ludicrous. I'd encourage my friend to contact his natural market even though few people could duplicate his method.
What about someone who is a great speaker who motivates crowds to his cause? If your system insists that all activities be conducted one-on-one, across the kitchen table, aren't you doing your speaker-distributor a disservice by not allowing him to use his natural talents to build his business?
The Key Difference
Here is what we really need to duplicate--Results!
What results are we looking for in Network Marketing? We want to sponsor distributors and make them successful--right?
If we focus on results, we can allow people the freedom to achieve those results in many different ways.
Some will achieve results contacting prospects by mail. Some by giving product parties. Some by wearing three-piece suits and conducting opportunity meetings. And even some will achieve these results in Bermuda shorts at the beach.
The bottom line is: Don't worry about duplicating activities. Focus on duplicating results.
Why Techniques and Rigid Systems Don't Matter
In the end, it's not so much what you do? it's who you are.
Have you ever seen a new distributor excited about your opportunity? Your new distributor makes all kinds of mistakes and still sponsors lots of people.
Why?
Enthusiasm. Trust. Personal belief. These things show through your new distributor's presentation so loudly that the prospect doesn't care about the business details. Prospects join because of who you are!
They don't join because your marketing plan pays 4% on level three in the alternate months, or because your product explanation took only 2.3 minutes with a magic Columbo close.
Prospects buy you--not your company.
How Do You Learn the Sponsoring Technique That's Right For You?
I learned from personal trial and error.
It's a great way to learn. Unfortunately it has two drawbacks:
It takes a long time to try and test different techniques. It could take years of trial and error and you may end up with scars all over your body (heart and mind). If you have a lot of time and can wait a few years to get your business started, then you are one of the fortunate few. Most of us want results a bit faster.
It's expensive to fund all your trial and error campaigns. Very expensive. If you have money to burn, or just enjoy being poor--abused by credit card collectors, then it's not so bad. However, most of us hate to waste money.
Those are the only two things I have against the trial and error method of finding a good sponsoring technique that works for you.
There's a better way.
Read some books. Attend seminars. Consult with your sponsor. And listen to some tapes of people who have gone before you (check to see if they have scar tissue). Why beat yourself up and spend lots of money when you can read or listen to the results of the different methods you are considering?
Capitalize on the experience of others.
I think that's why many Network Marketing distributors enjoy the Big Al books. They know that I've been out there in the trenches, continue to be in the trenches, and the techniques I write about are from experience. I leave out the hype. I don't tell distributors what techniques to use, I just report them. Adults are smart enough to pick out the techniques they enjoy.
As my good friend Tom Paredes says, "Even if you go to work at McDonald's flipping hamburgers, they still make you go through their training program." With our business, so much more complicated than flipping hamburgers, don't you think it makes sense to learn how to do it?
What Is The Ultimate Secret To Network Marketing Success?
The real secret?
It's to build leaders and make them successful.
Distributors come and go. It's the leaders who count. You want to develop a few good loyal leaders and then, if you choose, you can retire.
If I had my entire career to do all over again, I'd concentrate on building and developing one leader each year.
We talk about the cumulative effect of our efforts in Network Marketing. Well, only leaders accumulate. That's why you should focus your effort into developing leaders.
I have a friend who started with me in Network Marketing 24 years ago. We lost touch until about four years ago. During those 20 years we both worked hard in Network Marketing.
When we finally met, I had a self-sustaining, large and profitable organization. He was starting all over again.
The difference?
I had developed some leaders during my 20 years of hard work. He had sponsored distributors during his 20 years of hard work. We both worked hard. Today, he has no organization. He is still starting over.
THERE IS A "RIGHT WAY" to build your Network Marketing business: Help your new distributors find what method works for them. Then, help them become leaders doing what they do best.
