    • When I began working on line, I wanted to begin small and then grow up. $25 and $50 appeared to me as small enough amounts and embraced companies offering products or services at these prices. Unfortunately all the programs I signed up to charge monthly recurring fees. Quickly I found myself dishing out money but gaining little or nothing. Then somewhere along the line I discovered cycler programs.

       

      What made them attractive to me are the low costs, once-only payments, no complicated things to do on the site or online, a small number of downlines to make money, upgrading to higher levels from your profits, and re-entering the first level from the same profits.

       

      Cyclers cost from $1 to $230, with most of them in the $5 to $25 range and bring in anything from $5 to $2,200 over and over again, allowing one to reach final earnings in tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

       

      Since I discovered cyclers, my credit card and Paypal accounts are no longer under pressure of monthly payments which were eating into my savings and salary. I don’t also have to chase people to join my networks since the business model appeals to many.

       

      In fact, if I had the chance to begin all over again in MLM, my one and only choice will be matrix programs.

      After trying the Visi Weight Loss product for 4 days, I decided to post a quick testimonial and review here.

      Introduction: Since my early 20's I've added some belly-fat.

      The problem I face on a day-by-day basis is the same faced by most people – odd schedules. Work interferes with regular Lunch schedules. I may have time to eat at 11 and then not again until 3. Hunger grows to cravings, and then it's all down to will-power to eat that healthy lunch – and often it looses.

      Nights are frequently Cub Scout, baseball or football games and practices for the kids – leaving you with the hurry-up-and-eat-something or eating quite late.

      All are bad habits, but so common to us all!

      Visi Weight Loss Product

      This is a once-a-day pill that comes in a bottle from your friendly Visi Wellness Independent Representative (me!). The instructions for Visi Weight Loss say to take it before Breakfast or 1 hour before Lunch. Since I'm one of those adults that wakes up hungry, I am a firm believer in eating Breakfast and giving yourself fuel for the day.

      So, I decided to begin on a Monday morning, taking my first capsule about 10:30. The results were almost immediate and shocking!

      I had an appointment at Noon, and about 2:00 I realized I should eat. Being my first day, I decided to try and see how well it worked.

      I wasn't hungry again until about 6:00 that night! Interestingly, while being very hungry for dinner, I felt full quickly.

      Day 2 was similar, but I made myself eat lunch about Noon, becoming very full, very quickly. A small biscuit-sized sandwich and apple and I was done. Hungry at night again about 6:00.

      Day 3 was about the same. Took the pill about 11:00 and found myself a bit 'peckish' about 2 and went ahead and ate. More hungry than the day before, but still ate much smaller amounts.

      Day 4 was just like Day 3.

      I never weighed myself during these 4 days, but by the last day, it was obvious my pants were a bit looser already!

      Conclusion?

      I loved it. I've tried a few weight loss pills over the years, and they either had uncomfortable side effects (jitters, racing heart) or just didn't do anything at all.

      As with any weight-loss, even a product that can squash your hunger you still need to eat! Use the product as a tool to help you control your urges and cravings, and you'll find yourself eating smaller quantities to feel satisfied.

      Listen to your body, eat at regular intervals, and combine Visi Weight Loss with light exercise and see the results for yourself!

    • I wanted to share how happy I am with the Better Body System. I lost 9 pounds my first week on the program. I've been on the system for a month and I've lost 18 pounds so far.

      This has been such a great program for me. Two of my family members have started the program after seeing my results. I have to share this with people so others can be inspired to change their health.

      I tried everything I could think of to lose weight, if you can relate than I really encourage you to make the Better Body System a part of your lifestyle. Yes, it is a business where you can earn an income but the most rewarding part is helping others lead healthier lives.

      You can follow my progress on my facebook page in my signature. Please let me know if you have questions about the program.

      Take care.

      The products are available in a kit or as individual products. Recylable refill cartridges are available for all products. Wholesale options available to retailers.

    • Shaklee's Ultra Cinch Inch Loss Plan

      If you have decided to slim down, you may be considering joining a weight loss program to help you lose the extra pounds. There are a number of different weight loss programs available throughout the United States, many of which offer excellent tips and support systems that can help you to lose the weight but can you keep it off? How do you know which program will work for you? Here is what I know about the Shaklee Ultra Cinch Inchloss Plan.

      First The Obesity Epidemic and Why You Should NOT Diet!

       Men, on average, are seventeen pounds heavier than they were in the late 1970’s, and for women the figure is even higher, at nineteen pounds!The proportion of overweight children, ages six to eleven, has more than doubled, while the proportion of overweight adolescents, ages twelve to nineteen, has more than tripled.

       According to the standards of the United States military, 40% of young women and 25% of young men weigh too much to enlist. As the average person became heavier, the very heavy became heavier still; more than twelve million Americans now have a body-mass index greater than forty, which, for someone who is five feet nine, entails weighing more than two hundred and seventy pounds!

       Hospitals had to buy special wheelchairs and operating tables to accommodate the obese, and revolving doors had to be widened—the typical door went from about ten feet to about twelve feet across. I recently experienced these new hospital ”accomodations” when a very close family member of mine needed them.

       An Indiana company called Goliath Casket is now offering triple-wide coffins with reinforced hinges that can hold up to eleven hundred pounds.

       We have a serious weight problem in America, and going on a typical diet can make matters worse! Here’s why, according to scientific research: The problem is that whenever we lose weight, we generally lose muscle mass as well as fat. To be precise, you lose about 5 pounds of muscle for every 12 pounds of weight loss.

       This is a concern, because muscle is metabolically much more active than fat. Since each pound of muscle burns about 50 calories a day, that 5 pounds of muscle you lost costs you 250 calories a day. So, if you want to keep losing weight at the same rate after you reduced the first 12 pounds, you will need to reduce your calories by another 250 calories a day – and if you manage to lose another 12 pounds you will have to reduce your calories by yet another 250 calories per day to keep losing weight.

       Now you understand what causes the dreaded weight loss plateau!

       But wait, it gets worse.

       Let’s say that you lose 12 or 24 pounds (corresponding to 5-10 pounds of muscle or 250 to 500 calories per day) and go off of your diet because the plateau discouraged you. When you regain your weight it comes back mostly as fat, not as muscle. So now you need to eat 250-500 calories a day less just to maintain your weight. Ouch!!

       The result is that you usually gain back more weight than you lost.

      Now you understand the cause of the dreaded yo-yo diet cycle!

      What is the Shaklee Ultra Cinch Inchloss Plan Exactly?

      Shaklee’s Cinch Inch Loss Plan is a weight loss program which includes a regimen of protein packed shakes and energy boosting teas. This program is clinically proven to not only help you shed pounds but also those extra inches. Shaklee Corporation has a complete staff of medical doctors, nutritionists,  and 75 full time scientists who have drawn on over 50 years of sports and nutrition science to develop a plan that they say works.

      Why Cinch Works:

       Cinch works because you only lose fat and not muscle. The Shaklee Cinch Plan is powered by Leucine, a powerful muscle-retaining amino acid that helps retain your lean muscle mass while losing fat and inches. Muscle=metabolism, so the more muscle you have the more calories you can burn and that equals fewer inches around your waist. This is what separates Cinch from other weight loss plans out on the market. Retaining muscle is the key to long term success with weight loss. The Shaklee Cinch Plan was created to break the yo-yo dieting cycle. Shaklee conducted a 12 week clinical study on the use of the Ultra Cinch Inch Loss Plan. The findings: average weight loss 15.4 pounds, waist size decreased by 4.1 inches, hip size decreased 2.6 inches, fat-free mass (muscle) remained unchanged. It was confirmed that all weight loss came from fat!

       The Shaklee Cinch Plan seems like it would be and easy plan to follow! Here are the simple steps to take and the cost of the Cinch Ultra Inch Loss Plan. To buy the full plan for a 4 week supply: retail $353.75 or as a member $300.65. There is also a Cinch Lite for under $200.00 for a month of products. This program is for maintenance or “Lite” weight loss. It contains a shake a day, 1 box of snack bars, 3-in-1 boost, and the Cinch Energy tea.

      The Ultra Cinch Inch Loss Plan consists of 4 steps:

      Step 1: Replace two meals with Cinch Shakes and/or Cinch Meal Bars.

      Cinch’s low-glycemic shakes come in four yummy flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Café Latte). The shakes have 24 grams of quality protein and 6 grams of fiber to keep you full and satisfied. And if shakes aren’t your thing or you want more variety, choose Cinch Meal-in-a-Bars. A delicious filling bar with 20 grams of quality protein. Comes in two delicious choices: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip or the new Blueberry Crisp.  Convenient for on-the-go lifestyles–have a Cinch Shake for breakfast and a Cinch Meal-in-a-Bar for lunch.

       Step 2: Use Cinch Snack Bars and Cinch Energy Teas to keep you feeling good throughout the day.

      Forget coffee, soda and sugary snacks – they’re hidden with calories and crave-making sweeteners. With Cinch Energy Teas and Snack Bars, you’ll head off the mid-day slumps with a healthy, tasty, quick pick-me-up and you’ll avoid piling on the calories, too. It’s all about feeling great while creating a healthier and happier you!

       Step 3: Take one Cinch 3-in-1 Boost with each meal.

      One caplet with each meal is all you need. The revolutionary Cinch 3-in-1 Boost is three products in one. It’s a multivitamin/multimineral, it also boosts your body’s ability to burn calories, and it’s a glucose regulator that helps retain normal blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels help you control cravings throughout the day. Take one with every meal and you’re good to go!

       Step 4: Eat a healthy dinner with the foods you most like to eat.

      Cinch is not about starving yourself or foregoing foods you love to eat. With Cinch no food is off-limits, you just want to eat healthy portions and try to maintain a daily calorie level that works for your weight loss goals. You’ll find healthy, easy-to-make meal plans at cinchclub.com and at the new cinchwellness.com.

      In My Opinion

      I would like to end with my personal experience with some of the Cinch products. I have tried all four flavors of the Cinch Shakes: chocolate, strawberry, latte’, and vanilla and Strawberry is my favorite. It tastes like real strawberries not artificial, you know what I mean. I have also tried the meal bars: peanut butter and chocolate and berry almond crunch. They really do fill you up and taste great in my opinion. I really like the peanut butter and chocolate. I went on a trip and took a box with me to have as breakfast every day to save on eating out costs. I loved it. I saved a ton of money by eating the bars in my room with my morning cup of coffee and not going out. Now the snack bars, they are awesome to put in my purse to take with me when I go for a short hike or out shopping. They are a great energy boost and tide me over until meal time. Peanut butter is my favorite but I like them all. The chocolate is truly for chocolate lovers. It is dark and rich. The lemon cranberry is zesty and fun to eat. I know you really want to know about the weight loss part. Well I really don’t need to lose weight but this summer I was having a Cinch Shake for breakfast before my morning walk and I did lose 4 pounds that month and I wasn’t even trying. Cool huh?

      Hello everyone..

      I'm amazed that this topic has sprung up because just this past weekend my daughter told me that she spent $2,600 on a Jupiter Delphi water ionizer and to be completely frank, I really didn't know what to say short of calling her an idiot. I have been involved with MLM companies in the past and Kangen water is basically ionized alkaline water, which depending on who you ask, is supposedly nothing short of holy. If it isn't oxygenated water, its alkaline water, or nutrient infused water.

      Naturally, I had to sit with the phone to my ear for over an hour listening to my daughter explain that alkaline water can prevent cancer because of its molecules staying in smaller clusters than the molecules of ordinary water. Since they’re smaller, they can supposedly reach finer spaces in the body which normal water molecules can, not reach. In addition to this, alkaline water is apparently a good source of antioxidants. So instead of buying antioxidants like the rest of us, she puts a $2,600 charge on her VISA for a water Ionizer while forgetting that she still owes me $1900 for a vehicle I obtained for her last year that she knows I will not collect on.

      When I look at the Kangen package it all rings the same unlikely to be succesful way that many other companies do. When my daughter lead me to the Kangen site, I looked for the typical stamp that they usually have, including the companies I used to represent, and it goes something like this:

      -( "Throughout this site the following applies:

      That is really all you need to know.

    • I consider Enagic Kangen Water to be of the same ilk as the magic magnetic holographic nanomagic bracelets. Disclaimer: I have not yet tried to debunk the oft repeated Evolv Health claim that their Kangen Water is 'officially approved for it's health merits' by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. I read this little pearl that tries to get all sciency to explain the magical Kangen elixer:

       Kangen water is one of many brand names for so-called alkaline waters promoted as a healthier form of water with significant anti-oxidant properties. It's generally presented as the result of an electrolysis process which separates ordinary water (H20) into two separate entities. One half of the separated water becomes an acidic HO molecule, while the other becomes an alkaline OH molecule. The producers of Kangen water bottle the alkaline OH water for drinking purposes, while the acidic HO molecule is used for topical applications.

       I don't think this particular distributor knew what the heck she was talking about ( or she was drinking the Kang-Aid ) but when I was just a lad in 7th grade science class we did a little bit of 'alchemy' with a 6 volt batter, two wires, two nails, a couple of beakers and test tubes. When we did the 'electromagic' we ended up with two test tubes of gas ... two parts Hydrogen for one part Oxygen. Somehow, we didn't end up with one half of the water becoing an acidic HO molecule. It was still...water. I thought the acidic form of hydrogen was hydrochloric acid, but then again my latest touch point with chemistry lately is watching Breaking Bad. Another Enagic rep on another website touting Kangen Water says that it is created by passing the water through a specific type of filtration machine. Could they be a little more, I don't know, specific?

      The Kangen Water machines run between $500 and $1000 dollars in the US. Water and filtration MLM's go together like Evangelists and Religion, so not surprised if people are buying into the Kangen Water deal. One of the sleaziest MLM reps I ever met was originally an NSA dealer ( water filtration ). He later went on to sell Magic Soap Inspired by God ( that you drink - until someone died drinking it ) and then retreated to Mexico and let his son carry on the MLM legacy of scamming unsuspecting victims in one MLM shell game after another. Surprised he's not pitching this deal.

    • What is Kangen Water and what are the benefits?

    • Choosing down bedding can be a complex process due to the number of options available.  There are so many things to consider:

      • What's the difference between down and feathers?
      • Will the comforter cause allergies?
      • Are they easy to keep clean?
      • How long with my goose down comforter last?
      • If I do suffer from allergies - can I buy an alternative down comforter?

      There are so many options in bedding that making the right decision for you can be a hard one. Feathers or Polyester? Baffle or Sewn Through? Soft or Firm?

      These are just a few of the questions you will encounter when you start shopping and it is very easy to quickly become confused when faced with the hundreds of different products in the marketplace.

      The filling materials in our goose down comforters & pillows come from across the globe including Hungarian Goose Down, Siberian Goose Down & Canadian Goose Down.   Down is a soft fluffy cluster found beneath the feathers and it doesn't have any quill, like a feather does.  So nothing can poke through the outer covering and stick into you which is what happens with cheaper 'feather' comforters.  The down is harvested from specially bred geese and the birds are safely released to go off and grow more down.   Sort of like a sheep being shorn for its wool.   What a life!

      The down is then put through a rigorous cleaning procedure making it hypoallergenic - which means SUPER clean - before it is put inside its cover.  This is where the term 'Thread Count' comes in. 

      Thread Count      

      A comforter's thread count, or the number of threads woven per square inch, indicates its quality, durability and feel. A higher thread count means it has a tighter weave, usually creating a smoother, more luxurious touch. A higher thread count can also help keep fill from poking through and dirt out.

      - then you have the construction of the comforter.

      Construction      
      If a comforter's fill shifts it can create empty pockets with little or no warmth. That's where the comforter construction becomes important.
        Baffle Box Construction uses sewn-in cloth "walls" to keep fill in place.
        Sewn-Through Box Construction is created by sewing horizontal and vertical stitches into the top and bottom layers of a comforter. This creates individual compartments which prevent fill from clumping.
        Channel Construction is similar to Sewn-Through Box Construction in that horizontal or vertical columns are sewn into the fabric to create compartments which prevent the fill from shifting.
        A Gusset is a construction technique that creates outer side walls to secure a comforter's top and bottom layers together. This allows for it to appear more lofty and full.

      All of this work leads finally to a top quality, luxurious goose down comforter or mattress pad.  Sleep ON goose down is just as luxurious as sleeping UNDER goose down.

      One of our best selling items is the DORCHESTER 800 Fill Power DOWN BATISTE COMFORTER, which sells for between $440.00 to $900.00.  Comparable comforters sell for at least $900 to $1300 making our product very economical as well as beautiful.
