Solutions for Aching Knees and Backs
Read the following two (2) articles by RealAge.com and Dr. Vendryes respectively to learn about helping battle pain in the knees and back.
Don't forget that green tea recommended by RealAge.com is the key ingredient in Herbal Concentrate Tea, an essential element of the Cellular Nutrition program designed by Herbalife.
My father keeps reminding me that exercises for the back is important as a preventative measure. So keep physically active. Perform regular strength training for all body parts including the spine and back to optimize your wellness.

RealAge Tip of the DAY for August 7, 2007
Everything Green Is Gold for Knees
You've heard of a green thumb. But how about green knees?
Could be a good way to describe the youthful knees of a green-tea devotee. Potent compounds in green tea -- EGCG and ECG -- may help battle cartilage and collagen destruction in arthritic joints.
Catechin Delight
The EGCG and ECG found in green tea are powerful flavonoids known as catechins. Seems these particular catechins may help fight inflammation, as well as some of the underlying mechanisms at work in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
A Better Plan?
Of course, drinking a few cupfuls of green tea each day is no guarantee against knee pain, so here are a few of the more tried-and-true methods for keeping knees healthy:
• Lose weight if you are overweight. Excess pounds raise your risk of knee arthritis.
• Play it safe. A knee injury will triple your risk of knee osteoarthritis. When you exercise, take proper precautions to avoid getting hurt.
• Strengthen your quads. Weak quadriceps muscles are associated with knee arthritis, so work them out regularly, along with your hamstrings and all of your other leg muscles.
Feel something crunching and creaking in your knees? Early intervention can slow arthritis progression. Answer these questions to see if you could have osteoarthritis.
RealAge Benefit: Getting 31 milligrams of flavonoids -- like EGCG and ECG -- a day can make your RealAge 3.2 years younger.

Getting back in the game
published: Monday | August 6, 2007
Our backbone (spine) is extremely important to our health.
The entire body is under the control of the nerves that originate in the spinal cord. Any disturbance in th of the spine can cause pressure, irritation or inflammation to these nerves and result in a wide range of disturbances and malfunction in various parts of the body. Backache is often a symptom of a spine that is out of alignment.
Backache is also a very common complaint and is second only to the common cold as the most frequent cause for absence from work. Millions of production man-hours are lost every year because of backache, not to mention the suffering and expense to individuals who fall victim. Almost half of all working adults complain of backache every year.
NEW THERAPY
After much suffering and expensive investigations, some are forced to resort to expensive spinal surgery. How about a simple non-invasive therapy for spinal and overall health.
I have been using a technology called the Livelong Bed, based on the principles of chiropractics combined with those of traditional Chinese medicine. By lying on this Livelong device - a special bed - the individual receives a combination of the following therapies:
1. Spinal massage
2. Chiropraction
3. Acupressure/moxibustion
4. Far infrared light/heat/jade
According to ancient Chinese medicine, the spine must be properl> so that there is no pressure on the spinal cord. This allows the flow of 'chi' (the body's vital energy) to be undisturbed, and balance to be maintained.
If our spine is out o our health starts failing. In oriental science, doctors treat the whole body instead of trying to fix just one malfunction of symptom. Everything is part of a much bigger system, which if strong, can either prevent the illness, or heal an existing problem with very little help.
SPINAL MASSAGE
Spinal massage relaxes muscles and tendons around the spine, relieving pressure on the spinal cord, unblocking nerves, and adjusting the spine. The spinal massage also relaxes and prepares the back for the other components of the whole treatment.
CHIROPRACTICE
Have you ever been to a chiropractor? Chiropractic physicians are a special type of doctor with the letters DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) after their name. They are particularly trained to deal with problems related to misalignment of the backbone. Chiropractic treatment can be extremely effective in correcting back pain and other problems related to the spine, Unfortunately, there are only a few chiropractors currently practicing in Jamaica. Along with the benefits of spinal massage, the device called Livelong helps to create correc using chiropractic principles.
ACUPRESSURE/MOXIBUSTION
Acupressure and moxibustion are variations of acupuncture in which specific points on the back are stimulated with pressure and heat, instead of needles. These techniques unblock what in oriental science are called meridians, or the 12 energy channels along which 'chi' (the body's energy) flows.
According to oriental medicine, the illness starts when the flow of chi is disturbed. To maintain, or restore the chi flow, different techniques are used such as acupuncture, acupressure, and moxibustion.
Acupuncture is one of the most popular techniques used in oriental medicine. Livelong it uses no needles, produces the same effect as acupuncture, acupressure and moxibustion combined.
FAR INFRARED LIGHT & HEAT
Going back to principles of oriental medicine, proper blood circulation and clean blood are essential to our well-being. The Livelong technology uses jade projectors and carbon panels which produce far infrared heat and light.
Both heat and light are essential in the healing and detoxifying processes. Heat and far infrared light help the body slowly clean the toxins from our system. They also stimulate the generation of new red-blood cells from the bone marrow, an important energy booster, especially for those whose immune systems are weak or who are anaemic.
Along with the heat, the far infrared light penetrates deep into the tissues and organs, reducing swelling and inflammation, helping the body heal in a safe and non-invasive way. Other forms of heat and light treatments do not penetrate as far below the surface of the body.
Jade is a semi-precious stone, which for ages has been used in oriental medicine to help stimulate 'chi'. Jade is incorporated in the Livelong device because of its ability to hold and transmit the heat and far infrared light into the body.
Livelong is not just a temporary measure to treat, control, or diminishsymptoms of a particular condition. It does and will help the body to improve our problems, but it is also about maintenance and prevention! Daily adjustments of the spine, detoxifying, maintaining blood and 'chi' circulation result in strong bodies able to fight and prevent diseases.
Our world is changing. These changes can make it even harder to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Through extensive scientific research and development, the Livelong technology has successfully integrated the traditional principles of Eastern and Western medicine. It is now available right here in Jamaica.

Success Builder Dinner / MoBay Independent STS
Recently, I went to four (4) worthwhile Herbalife events:
* Success Builder Dinner (July 26, 7 - 9 pm)
* MoBay Independent STS (July 28, 10 - 5 pm)
* Quick Start (July 29, 3 - 6 pm)
* Personal Development Training (July 30, 12 - 2 pm)
Success Builder Dinner
The Success Builder Dinner was special because I was honored. It was an interesting experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Of the five honorees present, two were very nervous to present their stories to the audience. I spoke twice because after I sat down after sharing my personal results with gusto, I realized that I had said nothing about the incredible results of some of my customers; I requested that I share briefly a second time.
Mrs. Vendryes, President Team Member, gave a Success magazine to each of the guests. She mentioned that I was a thinker and pointed out that the persons on the magazine cover looked happy (apparently like me). Kathleen Russell Miller, Millionaire Team Member, was particularly encouraging to me both right before and after the dinner.
My only guest came very late; yet, she said that she wanted to start a commercial nutrition club. Given that I am hoping to sponsor a nutrition club owner soon, I was glad to hear that she was no longer using her pregnancy and other factors as an objection. Ms. Miller pointed out to my guest that she could start at home, recommending that she watch the training DVD to get started. Over all, it was a memorable event.
Montego Bay Independent Success Training Seminar
I am glad that I went to the meeting for several reasons. I drove down with a Global Expansion Team member and back with a Millionaire Team member who gave good advice while driving. Moreover, Dr. Dunn's Product training was excellent. The "Just Got Back" [from annual Herbalife Extravaganza training] review was mixed for me; however, it is clear that the training was worthwhile for every Jamaican who took that trip to Dallas Texas. It is interesting to learn that there is a 18 year old who is a Millionaire Team member. Moreover, one participant referred to the fact that steps were outlined to get to President Team member. Of course, I have seriously reviewed these notes in the PDF file online.
QuickStart
Each part of this QuickStart training was well done. The only problem was that I had no guests. I am glad that Stuart O'Sullivan promised to show a review of Dallas Extravaganza at 2:30 pm at the next QuickStart in August.
Personal Development Training
I have been attending training at the warehouse for over a month. I was glad that the trainer chose to stick to personal development training instead of focusing on the end-of-month goals. She instructed us all to do a personal inventory. She mentioned that your area of strength could also be an area of weakness. I think that this is definitely true in my case. I also learnt about the history of the Success Builder Dinner; apparently, it is copied from a very successful Chairman Club member (#2 distributor). I was good to be reminded that hard work (effort) is essential in the business in addition to the skill set and commitment mentioned in Herbalife's annual compensation PDF document.

Chronic Tonic: Ounce of Prevention
Chronic tonic - Preventing lifestyle diseases now
Dr. Vendryes, Daily Gleaner
Ounce of Prevention
published: Monday | July 30, 2007
Many of our commonest illnesses are referred to as chronic degenerative diseases. Why? Because they develop slowly, over many years, from abuse and poor care and end up causing severe pain, suffering and even death. In effect, our bodies degenerate because of the way we treat them. Examples of these diseases are heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes and hypertension.
The undeniable medical evidence is that poor nutrition and bad lifestyle choices during childhood predispose us to these debilitating degenerative diseases later in life.
FOOD CAN PROTECT YOU
Medical research has established an indisputable link between nutrition and health. Literally hundreds of scientific studies have indicated a strong association between diet and the incidence of chronic degenerative disease.
We know, for example, that by eating a varied and balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates (particularly fibre), we can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and type two diabetes.
Diets high in tomato products containing lycopene are known to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer in men. And diets rich in green leafy vegetables, particularly those containing lutein, are associated with reducing the risk of macular degeneration, a common cause of blindness.
DISEASE STARTS EARLY
Medical evidence further shows that chronic degenerative diseases are not necessarily diseases of old age. Their beginnings are often evident in children, adolescents, and young adults. Here are some examples of killer illness that could be prevented in childhood:
HEART DISEASE
We know, for example, that heart disease starts in childhood. A recent article published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows the beginnings of heart disease in children two to 15 years old. The study further reported that the prevalence of heart disease increases with age, affecting about 30 per cent of adolescents 16-20 years old, 50 per cent of young adults 21-25 years old, and 70 per cent of adults 26-39 years old.
Other research shows that:
30-40 per cent of heart disease deaths directly result from obesity.
Childhood obesity doubles the risk of adult obesity (Bad habits start early).
The most effective strategy for preventing heart disease in adulthood is to prevent obesity in childhood. Unfortunately, more Jamaican children are overweight today than ever before.
CANCER
Most cancers take decades to develop before they are diagnosed. Our cells have many safeguards against cancerous proliferation, and it generally takes decades for enough genetic damage to accumulate to override all the safeguards. And once a cell becomes cancerous, it can take decades more before a tumour is detected. Because we estimate that 30-35 per cent of all cancers are related to diet, we can logically assume that childhood diet plays a significant role in defining adult cancer risk and growing medical evidence supports this assumption
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease tied to poor nutrition during early years. Studies show that maintaining good calcium nutrition, exercise and attaining high bone mineral density during adolescence lead both to stronger bones and to reduced risk of osteoporosis later in life. In fact, it is estimated that adolescent girls who increase bone mass by as little as five per cent during their teen years can reduce the risk of osteoporosis after menopause by 40 per cent.
USE SUPPLEMENTS
Further research has linked the intake of certain vitamins and minerals to long-term health. Supplementing with vitamin E (400-800 IU per day) is linked to a reduction of heart disease. Calcium and vitamin D are known to reduce bone loss and the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Folicacid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 can lower blood homocysteine, a serious risk factor for heart disease.
In short, good nutrition - achieved through a balanced diet and supplementing with optimal levels of appropriate vitamins and minerals is critical for preventing these chronic illness.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The essential point is that good nutrition is a life-long imperative. To optimise our health over a lifetime, we must nourish ourselves properly during all stages of life. The time to eat well and practise good nutritional habits is now, whether you are four, 14, 34, or 64 years old. It is essential that we teach our children how to eat today to prevent the chronic degenerative diseases of tomorrow.

My Dream
I have a dream.
My dream is to significantly reduce the level of obesity in Jamaica and throughout the global community connected via the Internet. This action directly reduces the health costs of my island state as well as indirectly improves the global economy.
My dream is to create the best ReShape blog in cyberspace that is dynamic, informative and relevant, catering to adult English language readers, anytime (24/7), anywhere in the world. I facilitate supportive relationships online that help persons attain and maintain a healthy body composition (shape).
My dream is to have a financial freedom account that can support my (simple) lifestyle for the rest of my earthly life. In the near future, my interest on my investments are substantial. Moreover, I own a wonderful home with fruit trees, a great gym, well-stacked library and spacious jacuzzi.
As Jimmy Cliff sings, "I can see clearly now."
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright, bright sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
I can hardly believe that these dreams are possible and probable because of Herbalife International. Last night, I went to the "Just Got Back" meeting at the Altamont Court Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. The meeting recapped the inspiring and teachable moments of the annual Herbalife Extravaganza in Dallas, Texas - from a Jamaican perspective. It was memorable in more ways than one!
Join me in my quest to becoming a superb Professional Herbalife Distributor. Now is the time. As someone said last night, "let's stop dragging our feet." Another fellow read a quote that I'll paraphrase: It is foolish to be thirsty when you are surrounded by an abundance of water.
Herbalife is associated with health and wealth. If you are interested, email me at 4nrg2b@gmail.com or call (876)810-1234 for more information. Let me help facilitate your education about wellness and prosperity.
"If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around. " Jim Rohn
In case you are skeptical about this opportunity, I suggest you read by first blog entry to see how I dealt with some of my own challenges with Herbalife.
Moreover, I would also suggest that you listen to an Ounce of Prevention radio program on Power 106 FM on Fridays (8 p.m. Jamaican time). It streams live on the Internet each week.
I am fascinated about the possibility of using my blog as a form of advertising outside of my everyday circle of influence. When I read blogs such as http://www.diets-blog.com/businessopportunity/ and http://news.larryward.com/, I remember the famous Jim Rohn quote: Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy. Larry Ward indicates that he has made US$5,000,000 from just three (3) of his downline supervisors over fourteen and one-half (14.5) years. That's no monkey money. You can read his story on the official Herbalife web site too. To accumulate wealth by helping others involves win-win relationships. What a noble enterprise!
Herbalife works for you if you keep working! So, here's another quote from Jim Rohn: "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day."
A Short History of My Herbalife Experience
I decided to visit a nutrition club here in Jamaica because I listened to the advice and stories on the "Ounce of Prevention" radio program over many weeks. By visiting a nutrition club for a meal replacement (Shake and Tea) once daily, I got my easiest weight-loss results; the club owner presented the option to buy the products at a discount. As a research-driven individual, I decided to investigate the pros and cons of Herbalife by reviewing various web sites, asked many questions to my sponsor-to-be, as well as talking to my friends. After much thought, I signed up as a discounted customer. As I used more products, I noticed some changes in myself, e.g. my increased energy level due to NRG tablets. Soon after, I visited various Herbalife meetings, talked to many sidelines, and continue to read more online as well as in hard copy. For example, see today's article on curbing your cravings by Dr. Vendryes on my blog.
Basically, by utilizing the basic "Use. Wear. Talk" Herbalife philosophy, I started earning a part-time income in addition to my income as a lecturer at a tertiary institution. This summer, I have started to work with a full-time attitude. A part of my new adventure is starting this blog; it's an enjoyable experience. The journey is exciting, although there are some potholes in the road. I expect to master my new life as a a PhD Candidate (Professional Herbalife Distributor) in 2007. In my vision, I practice my art as long as I remain passionate about the results achieved through impacting lives.
[By the way, I am still trying to master my life as an academian during this decade. I am currently enrolled in a course to learn Moodle in order to offer a blended learning experience using both classroom and online instruction for my UTech courses.]
Google Alerts is a useful tool if you would like to review regular updates on any topic of interest; as such, I have requested a daily Google Alert on web sites and blogs related to Herbalife. In a nutshell, based on my experiences and readings, the good about Herbalife far outweighs the bad. It seems that there are unethical persons who become Herbalife distributors; as such, if you are seriously interested in the business opportunity, it is prudent that you link up with a competent PhD candidate: Professional Herbalife distributor, who keeps practicing and perfecting his craft through persistence and ongoing training. We all have heard the saying "Practice makes perfect"; wisdom often lives in simple concepts! Take heed.
Herbalife is not a pyramid scheme. Moreover, Herbalife Jamaica is outstanding. We have the greatest retention rate in Herbalife International. I'll say more on the topic of multi-level marketing companies and pyramid schemes another time.... At any rate, some Herbalife distributors are decidedly prosperous.
Thoughts on Prosperity
At the "Just Got Back" meeting last evening, Ms. Valentine spoke of her transformation from vendor at Coronation Market to a Professional Herbalife Distributor who lost many dozens of pounds, resigned from her market vendor job, and gained an exciting life through Herbalife. She has funded an addition to her house costing over J$1,000,000 with her nutrition club funds. Her story was compelling; many people were visibly moved to HOPE through her Honesty, Openness, Passion and Energy.
Recently, I attended the “Wake Up To Your Prosperity” seminar held Saturday, July 14 2007 at the Pegasus Hotel was presented by Global Institute For Transformation & Enlightenment (GIFTE) and sponsored by Digicel & Jamaica Money Market Brokers (JMMB). It provided much food for thought. I thought that the action steps highlighted were particularly helpful, especially implementing a financial freedom account (FFA). I was being reminded (yet again) about this "best-selling" concept of paying yourself first; the forum helped focus my attention on why priority should be given to this area of financial planning. Moreover, the online newsletter I received today provided an effective follow-up to the seminar.
The main facilitator, Courtney Kazambe, posits that "prosperity is about faith in your own ability to create a successful life script for yourself by seeing the world you live in as a place that is filled with unlimited opportunities."
Selected Action Steps To Achieve Prosperity
Open a Financial Freedom Account (FFA); put 10% (of your gross income)in your FFA from each paycheck.
Decide on your 12 month FFA target. Post the target on your bathroom mirror, write it in your cheque book, put it in your wallet/purse - remind yourself about it everyday. Write it in the present tense. Relate to it as a done deal.
Repeat Affirmations (about abundant living) twice per day.
Key Practices
* Create and live by an inspiring vision of yourself.
* Speak only that which you want, not that which you don't want.
* Take actions consistent with the vision you have created.

This blog entry is a step in the right direction! Motto: "Loving Life, Living Love"
My dream is to significantly reduce the level of obesity in Jamaica and throughout the global community connected via the Internet. This action directly reduces the health costs of my island state as well as indirectly improves the global economy.
My dream is to create the best ReShape blog in cyberspace that is dynamic, informative and relevant, catering to adult English language readers, anytime (24/7), anywhere in the world. I facilitate supportive relationships online that help persons attain and maintain a healthy body composition (shape).
My dream is to have a financial freedom account that can support my (simple) lifestyle for the rest of my earthly life. In the near future, my interest on my investments are substantial. Moreover, I own a wonderful home with fruit trees, a great gym, well-stacked library and spacious jacuzzi.
As Jimmy Cliff sings, "I can see clearly now."
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright, bright sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
I can hardly believe that these dreams are possible and probable because of Herbalife International. Last night, I went to the "Just Got Back" meeting at the Altamont Court Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. The meeting recapped the inspiring and teachable moments of the annual Herbalife Extravaganza in Dallas, Texas - from a Jamaican perspective. It was memorable in more ways than one!
Join me in my quest to becoming a superb Professional Herbalife Distributor. Now is the time. As someone said last night, "let's stop dragging our feet." Another fellow read a quote that I'll paraphrase: It is foolish to be thirsty when you are surrounded by an abundance of water.
Herbalife is associated with health and wealth. If you are interested, email me at 4nrg2b@gmail.com or call (876)810-1234 for more information. Let me help facilitate your education about wellness and prosperity.
