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.

Integritas Group Updates/ Jan 29, 2008
Technology sure has its advantages and makes our lives easier. But, every once in a while it fails and can make us miserable.
On Wednesday I was prepared to share some brand new training content with you. Unfortunately, the entire conference call bridge failed and no one could dial into the call. By the time the problem was fixed I decided it was best to postpone the conference call so that everyone could be on the call.
My sincerest apologies go out to those of you who tried diligently to get onto the conference call, and I hope you'll be able to join us for the call which is now rescheduled for Tuesday, January 29 at 9:00 pm Eastern (New York City time).
Please join me for the upcoming teleclass and I will give you the rock-solid foundation that is needed to present the business in a way that is professional and gets the results you've been looking for...more people signing up in your business.
Here's the information you need to access the call:
Date: Tuesday, January 29
Time: 9:00 pm Eastern (New York City time)
Conference Number: 218-486-1400
(This is a new call-in number but I have been assured that it has been thoroughly tested and will work without fail.)
Passcode: 7104#
If you live outside of the United States and would like to know the correct local time to join the call, use the link below.
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
I really hope you can join the call; I look forward to sharing what I know about presenting so you can sponsor more people this year.
Committed to your success,
Tim Sales
PS - Just a reminder that if you use leads or are thinking of trying them, the lead promotion that was to end Wednesday night has been extended to midnight EST on Jan. 30. So you can still get 50% to 75% more leads added to your order for F-R-E-E. Just use the promotional code JANUARY when you order Local or National Real Time leads.

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.

Folic Acid Saves Baby's Life
Folic Acid Saves Baby's Life
Deficiency in Common Food Supplement Could Have Killed an Infant
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/Story?id=4173835&page=1
Cute and healthy, Rosendo Rivera was everything his mother dreamed of.
"He slept, he ate, he gained a lot of weight; he was fine, everything was perfect," says his mother, Mayra Rivera.
But when he was 4 months old, Rosendo's mom got an inkling that something was wrong. First his eyes started to cross -- that was just the beginning.
"He went from laughing, rolling to completely being a baby who couldn't hold his head up. He stopped laughing, rolling, babbling. I said this is like a bad dream. I can't believe this is happening," said Mayra.
Doctors were stumped. Rosendo continued to deteriorate and had up to 60 seizures a day. He was diagnosed with everything from mental retardation to cerebral palsy, and then, something worse: mitochondrial disease, a condition in which the body can't produce energy.
His prognosis: He wouldn't live past his teens.
"I was devastated. I was watching my son deteriorate before my eyes, and there was nothing I could do for him. This cannot be my life, this cannot be my son's life. I was waiting for God to give us a miracle," says Mayra.
By chance, she met Dr. Mary Kay Koenig, who believed Rosendo may have been misdiagnosed, and Mayra got the miracle she had been dreaming of.
"I realized that although he had been tested for a majority of conditions that can cause his symptoms, he had not been tested for cerebral folate deficiency," says Koenig.
In folate deficiency, the body is unable to transport the vitamin folic acid to the brain, resulting in seizures, mobility problems and blindness. Fortunately though, this disease is 100 percent treatable in toddlers with a simple supplement.
In August, Mayra got the news: Rosendo had folate deficiency.
"I was so happy I was crying. I was like, thank you God, my prayers are answered. I knew it was a miracle," says Mayra.
Not only was he not going to die, but he could actually recover. Rosendo has been taking the supplements for four months now, and he has made remarkable strides.
"He's sleeping better, he's babbling, he's making new sounds, he's sitting down for longer periods of time. It's really exciting. It may be little for some people but really exciting for us. It's big,"says Mayra.
Bright Future
Dr. Pamela Blake joined "Good Morning America" today to share the latest details of Rosendo's recovery.
"He's gaining ground very quickly from all of the delays that he had. He is doing very well. He's had a great return of his visual function. His motor function is better, he is starting to talk, he can say "Momma," which he could not do before," says Blake.
Nowadays Mayra even has reason to hope that Rosendo might be able to live a normal life.
"Fortunately, because he was diagnosed properly and treated before the age of 3, the expectation is that he will do very well and hopefully should have a full recovery," says Blake.
Age 3 is turning point, because before that brain development is very precious and any deprivation of sensation can cause life-long damage.
"Folic acid is transported by a different receptor, a different protein taken into the brain and he has no problems with that receptor, so it's very simple," says Blake.
What makes it even better is that it's about as easy as it gets to administer. Rosendo takes just one tablet a day now. He'll have to for the rest of his life, but doctors say now that his life should be a long and healthy one.

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
ARGININE 1.8 g
ASPARTIC ACID 2.8 g
CYSTEINE 0.3 g
GLUTAMIC ACID 4.6 g
GLYCINE 1.0 g
