Work At Home Internet Forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic made from the discussions.

Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup such as exist on Usenet; allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.

Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. In terms of countable posts, Japan is far in the lead with over two million posts per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.

Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s. Early web-based forums date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.

Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code usually known as BBCode. Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.

Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. Wordpress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.

Forums are governed by a set of individuals, collectively referred to as staff, made up of administrators and moderators, which are responsible for the forums' conception, technical maintenance, and policies creation and enforcing. Most forums have a list of rules detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. There is usually also a FAQ section contain basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of a forum generally tailored for specific forum software.

Rules on forums usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception. For example, in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything but computer programming languages may be against the rules, with the exception of a general chat section.

Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what is known as a report system. Most American forum software contains such a system. It consists of a small function applicable to each post including one's own. Using it will notify all currently available moderators of its location, and subsequent action or judgment can be carried out immediately, which is particularly desirable in large or very developed boards. Generally, moderators encourage members to also use the private message system if they wish to report behavior. Moderators will generally frown upon attempts of moderation by non-moderators, especially when the would-be moderators do not even issue a report. Messages from non-moderators acting as moderators generally declare a post as against the rules, or predict punishment. While not harmful, statements which attempt to enforce the rules are discouraged.

When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is usually first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban. Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another ban is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender after being permanently banned creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP ban this can also be applied at the server level: if the IP is static, the machine of the offender is prevented from accessing the site. In some extreme circumstances, IP range bans or country bans can be applied; however, this is usually for political, licensing or other reasons.

Offending content is usually deleted. Sometimes if the topic is considered the source of the problem, it is locked; often a poster may request a topic expected to draw problems to be locked as well, although the moderators decide whether to grant it. In a locked thread, members cannot post anymore. In cases where the topic is considered a breach of rules it – with all of its posts – may be deleted.

A thread sometimes called a topic is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view a tree like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

A thread is contained in a forum, and may have an associated date which is taken as the date of the last post options to order threads by other criteria are generally available. When a member posts in a thread it will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. Similarly, other threads will jump in front of it when they receive posts. When a member posts in a thread for no reason but to have it go to the top, it is referred to as a bump or bumping. Threads which are important but rarely receive posts are stickyed. A sticky thread will always appear in front of normal threads, often in its own section.

A threads popularity is measured on forums in reply total posts minus one the opening post counts. Some forums also track page views. Threads meeting a set number of posts or a set number of views may receive a designation such as hot thread and be displayed with a different icon compared to others threads. This icon may stand out more to emphasize the thread.

A forum, just like any website, is only as good as its content. The richness of any work at home forum is entirely dependent upon the writing ability, and the members who post to said forum regularly.

It is the purpose of the work at home forum here, to provide Google readers with excellent information in regards to the art and science of working at home. There has never been a better time in history for the work at home field. Joining a business, then developing that business to its full potential, is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net (read more)

Work At Home

Work at Home

I was sitting here today, looking around on Google at the work at home category, and it came to me how fortunate I really am to be able to work at home, live life exactly how I wish to do it, and have no restrictions placed on my head by a boss. For my money, this has got to be the ultimate lifestyle. Many people searching for work at home, but often, they become involved with a business that just does not quite cut it, in terms of making enough money to live on. So, off to the day job to earn the living. Their thoughts are always that finding a good business to become involved with must exist, but up to this point, they simply have not found the right one.

I never try to convince anyone to try to join my business. As a matter of fact, I sometimes do not want them to join until they really know what the business is all about. You know, there are so many work at home business opportunities out there, and so many eager marketers, that it can literally be quite confusing on how to begin the process. Working at home is a lot different than having a boss stand over your shoulder. When you work at home, you have total freedom to do exactly as you wish. This is a catch 22 problem. Many are simply not disciplined enough to make the transition from a normal day job, to a work at home job. They may find themselves day dreaming about success with no effort, but in reality, working at home does require major work. You probably have not heard that before, but I am one who will tell the truth about the work at home industry. Work, the simple act of creating forward motion, is the keyword term. There is no escaping the fact that if you are going to become successful in a home business, you will definitely earn your keep. There are articles to write, websites to be created, backliinks to be built, prospects to be talked to on the phone, and host of other elements that you may not be really proficient with.

Its an amazing fact. Most people who are given websites to market do not really go through the sites and see all the features and functions of that site. They believe that simply having a good looking website is all that is needed to become successful. They may even believe that once the site is published, they are ready to make money with their new work at home business. Well folks, if this is what you believe, then I have a message for you. You could spend thousands of dollars on a site, but unless that site is constructed properly, it will be nothing but a worthless piece of digital trash. In other words, no one will visit the site, no one will see the site, and it will simply float around on the world wide web with no exposure at all. So, in essence, that great widget business you just bought into, is totally worthless. Oh sure, you could send your friends and family to the site, and have them marvel at how great it looks, but in reality, they are not going to join your business, and all your thinking, planning and dreaming will simply not work out for you.

Here at ItsGoodBusiness.net we offer solid business plans and implementation strategies that will work today, and in the future for marketing goods and services online. We are not about making you excited about joining our business, but rather offer you benefits and solutions that you can actually put to work in building a good work at home business that will make you a living. Notice, I said living, not rich! Honestly, there are NO businesses out on the search engines today that will make you rich. You may well expect to earn a good living, but get rich? NO way. If you have fallen for the claims of eager marketers in saying how they are getting rich in a month or so, then you will know for an undeniable fact that this is the basic strategy found in the work at home industry. I cannot fathom telling another person that making tens of thousands of dollars per month is the norm in the work at home business field. It is quite the opposite of that. As a matter of fact, I do not care what business you enter into, it will require time, effort, dogged determination and having a never quit attitude, before any money will be made at all. This is where most work at homers lose it. They are simply in a hurry to make money online. Hey, I know this business. I have been down that same road that you may be going down now. I can tell you horror stories of businesses that I bought into because someone I thought I knew and trusted, fed me a big line of BS. I know this sounds familiar, as I have worked with thousands of people over the last seven year period, and almost all of them have these stories.

If you are weary from the struggle of trying to build a work at home business. If you believe that out here somewhere on Google is a work at home business that does work. IF you are willing to come and listen to our business plan. IF you are willing to fill out our contact form so that I can speak directly to you, then you may just have found the beginning of a true business model that will work. I am here ready to talk with you, but unless you make the connection with me in some way, there is simply no way that I can explain the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan.

Work At Home

Work At Home

I conducted a presentation last evening in the Veretekk training room facility. Within this overview, I presented perspectives and details concerning the work at home industry and offered the solutions to said problems as well. The interaction within the attendees was indeed rich and very positive. I look forward to providing more information along the way, and I know that Veretekk is now on a terrific new and exciting path. Up to this point, Veretekk has been known as the lead generation and SEO system. However, we are now moving into an entirely, and more seamless era, called SEO Social Networking.

SEO Social Networking could be thought of as a team effort. In other words, like minded individuals, who are working towards achieving a single goal, are assigned different jobs in the promoting process for a websites. This is called the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan and implementation. ItsGoodBusiness.net is one of the most successful SEO campaigns ever devised for promoting the product TriVita. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is one of the leading health and wellness companies found on Google today. Their products, customer support and their mission statement, are all geared to providing work at home entrepreneurs the necessary elements that they need in order to achieve success.

The goals of people joining TriVita, are much like any other MLM or network marketing company. Work at homers join, and then they believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, many of these people will fail. This failure rate is due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is where the ItsGoodBusiness.net business model steps up to the plate. We are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins our TriVita organization, in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet. Without a doubt, there is no more powerful SEO Social Networking System found on Google today.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to the TriVita business, to assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like Veretekk and ItsGoodBusiness.net can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide.

The powerful new shift in Veretekk, that of allowing leaders of different types of MLM businesses, to train their organizations in the art and science of effective promoting techniques. Not allowing pitching sessions to join their business, but rather allowing them to give presentations concerning the integration of Veretekk to build any business more successfully and seamlessly. When I think of the times that I have been on teleconferencing calls, and heard shouts of excitement and enthusiasm for the new and famous product launch, I really never heard anyone step up to the plate and tell me that they were actually going to bring me into a web conferencing room, and show me how to approach building a successful business model utilizing the power of Google.

The vision that Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling have with Veretekk, is now becoming clearer and more concise on a daily basis. Now, with the new programming engineer, Mariusz Antonik, the system is beginning to live the up to the potential that has always been there, in helping people achieve success and notoriety within the work at home field. I dare say that NO other business model can assist people like the combination of ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk!

I will continue my quest towards the top position on the keyword category on Google called work at home. It is my goal to achieve, and hold that sacred position indefinitely. It will be an interesting task, but with the significant promoting system like Veretekk, that goal will be achieved.

Work At Home Businesses Provide Jobs in Dwindling Economy

Work At Home

The Good, Bad and The Ugly

The Bad

I think about creating work at home jobs. The process is amazing and confusing, to say the least. For most, finding a work from home job means this. Someone you know know, like a family member, or friend, calls up on the phone and tells you what a tremendous work at home business they have joined and you just have to see it to believe it. There is excitement in their voice, as they know full well, this is going to be THE ONE that will make you rich, famous and allow you to eventually quit your day job. Without hesitation, you signup from their link, and all of a sudden, you have before you untold wealth just sitting there waiting to take hold of. The whole process only took a couple of minutes, but in those few moments, you said to yourself that this might just work! If it does, your troubles will all be over as the money will begin to flow effortless as water into your life. You have invested money in work at home business that is making others rich, and so why can this not work for you? After all, you are an intelligent business person. You have possibly made money with other offline businesses, so what could possibly be different about coming onto Google and doing exactly the same thing? You have just fallen for the oldest trick in the book. You have not THOUGHT before signing up. You see, you simply do NOT know how to build a business online. You only know that networking to your friends and family is the only way to fly, right? Well, you have just experienced what I call the BAD work at home business mind set.

The Ugly

From the blurb above, this is what I consider to be the bad decision in joining a work at home business. Now, we will get into some more details about the UGLY business of working at home. You get an email from so-called self proclaimed super network marketing legend. In that mail, he tells you how much money he is making, and he can show you how to do exactly the same thing. Maybe today, you are at a weak point in your work at home job, and you are looking for a way to get out of the box trap. So, you follow the link and what do you find? You find banners flashing, testimonials of average people, just like yourself, who are making tens of thousands of dollars by just working at home. The testimonials look good, and after all, no one would like on a website, right? So, you plunge fully ahead, pull out the old plastic, and you are in that new and exciting business program that everyone is raving about. You fell once again for the oldest trick in the book, you got excited thinking about the possibilities, but forgot one simple fact. You just do not know where to go from here. You begin the tedious and demanding process of going on canned teleconferencing calls that are aimed directly at getting you more excited about the business model. You hear these so called legends talking about how they took their business from zero to millions. They will teach you duplication, and how to do exactly what they are doing to make millions of dollars in this simple work at home business. This is THE UGLY!

The Good

You are searching on Google for a work at home business. You are diligent in your approach to this as you sift and sort through the unlimited maze of businesses out there, and all of a sudden, you come across a website that actually makes sense for a change. You hear one of the most powerful network marketers ever known talking about the problems with the MLM and network marketing businesses today. You hear about the difference between excitement and intelligence. You hear about common sense and results, rather than being inundated with foolish facts and figures that are simply lies. You hear that this organization is concerned with offering you real tools, real training and is willing to go the distance with you to teach you exactly how to approach this whole game of Internet marketing. This work at home business model works today, and will work far into the future for precisely one reason, real people, just like yourself, have been taught the art and science of creating wealth from a substantial work at home business.

So, the question is this. Are you looking for a good business? Are you willing to leave all your ego and misconceptions about the process and become educated in the how to of a work at home job? If you are, then simply clicking the link below will open up an entirely new experience for you. You will become educated in the process, strategy, theory and action of a good work at home business.

Work At Home

In the ongoing quest for providing the best information concerning starting a work at home business, I delve deeper into this process so as to unlock some of the mysteries for my Google readers. Is it not amazing to think that anyone has the ability to start a work from home business, learn how to effectively promote that business, and over time, create an income that will sustain them even in tough economic times like we have right now? For me, its a real privilege to possess this knowledge concerning working at home, and quite honestly, I would recommend that business model to anyone seeking a job alternative.

When you consider what working at home really is, it is a way to simplify your life, live according to your terms and enjoy each and every day that has been granted to you. How many people out in the world are hurting, depressed, and basically trapped in a job box? Of course there are no statistics to prove my theory, but I am thinking that most people, at one time or another have agonized over their day job, and yearned for a way out of the maze. Did you know? There is a way out! There is a way out of this worthless and fruitless working each day world, and that answer could just be working at home.

There are numerous ways to work at home. Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working from home (WFH), or working at home (WAH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work typically from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Telework is a broader term, referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work-related travel, thereby eliminating the distance restrictions of telecommuting. All telecommuters are teleworkers but not all teleworkers are telecommuters. A frequently repeated motto is that "work is something you do, not something you travel to". A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation. The terms telecommuting and telework were coined by Jack Nilles in 1973.

These types of jobs are not necessarily what I mean when I say work at home. I am personally not wanting to be tied to any job that does not allow me the flexibility to create and achieve what I wish to achieve on my own merit. Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing using one website to drive traffic to another is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers marketing strategies.

The problems associated with work at home affiliate marketing businesses is the fact that most people who choose to enter into them, are in the dark on the process of advertising, or marketing their greatest work at home business to the rest of the world. They will resort to any underhanded tactics like reverse marketing, cross recruiting from other downline organization, using social networking to peddle their wares to others and many other ways. But, did you know that there are proven strategic business plans that can, and must be implemented in order to achieve notoriety and presence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet?

Work At Home

Today, I created a good YouTube Video titled work at home. I wanted to create an interest from my Google reader that happened to be searching for work at home. I did this for a very specific reason. In the first place, the keyword term is searched over 2 million times each month. This tells me that people are indeed, trying to find information concerning starting a home business, or trying to find a work from home business that is highly publicized to join. Its a fact that people are interested in joining or starting a good rock solid work at home business opportunity. As with anything found on Google, there is somewhat of a catch 22 when it comes to finding good information. Often times, those that spend the most money will be found at the top. So, it may just be that some so-called Internet marketing legend has bought their way to that position. That does NOT mean that the work at home business model is right for everyone. Looking for a good business is a tough road, to say the least. The searcher may come across totally ridiculous terms like get rich quick, make money online, get rich in a home based business and other misleading statements. Let us clarify this right here and now.

There are no quick and easy solutions to a work at home business!

It is about time that all work at home netpreneurs stand and rally around that statement, simply because it is the truth. It is a funny thing about truth. Some people just will not accept the truth as being real. They had rather have visualizations of riches beyond belief, fast cars, beautiful women and everything associated with the so called good life. Work at home advertisers will spare no expense in trying to convince and coerce others into joining their business. You know that there is the statement, "Fake It Until You Make It." Now this sums it all up for me. It simply means those that lie the best, walk away with the prize on the Internet. Well dear reader, I am here to blow your mind and inform you that if you buy into this type of lie, then you probably deserve to get exactly what you ask for!

IF you are reading this article, and expecting to hear exaggerations, lies, hype and misrepresentations of the truth, then you will be sadly disappointed. If, on the ohter hand you are looking for a real business, a work at home business model that has worked well for over three years, a work at home business plan that will assist you in reaching your goals and dreams, then you have definitely come to the right place! There is simply no better time to become involved in a work at home business. The economy is hurting, to say the least. Real people are looking for benefits and solutions to their financial dilemmas. Clicking the link listed below, can be the most imortant move that you have made so far. You will become associated with true work at home business professionals. They are not wealthy, nor rich, but they are one thing.

Financially Free!

Work At Home

If you follow the above link, you will be taken to another site, where work at home articles reign supreme. You see, I am driven to creatively write about my passion, which is simply, working at home. I find no better way to spend my time than writing, and talking with others about the work at home industry. One thing becomes much clearer to me. People want to work at home, they want time freedom, they want to live their lives on their own terms, but honestly, very few of us ever reach that goal. I have to wonder why is this so?

After deciding some seven years ago that I was going to learn how to start a work from home business, I really knew nothing about how to promote effectively on Google. I knew what the Internet was, but really knew nothing about promoting goods and services online. I scoped the gambit and began buying everything that I could find out about how to promote my work at home business effectively on Google. I spent way too much money, and honestly, got nothing for that hard earned cash spent. I am sure that you can equate very well to this story.

I learned really quickly that almost everything you read out on the Internet is simply a lie. If it is not a lie, then its the truth stretched just a little. I learned that spam emails that I received in my inbox telling me about leads, traffic generating systems, making money from a work at home business were basically all lies. Very little truth can be found online folks. Now, this is good news for you. You can learn from me the RIGHT way to begin a successful work at home business. You can learn specific techniques, strategies and systems that offer you great advantages in working from home, that others simply do not know about. You will learn how to save your money, not spend it. You will learn that most of everything that you will need to build a great home business is sitting right in front of you at this time. Your computer, and a notepad document, will be the place to begin your journey. You will learn that after a period of time, you can build your own powerful profile on Google that people can view, and learn who you are and what you do. You will learn that spending money foolishly on Google pay per click advertising, leads and other forms of well known business elements online, is totally unnecessary. Is that not great news for you today?

Thomas Prendergast
CEO
Veretekk.com, Inc.
 

First and foremost, the trend is people are returning to Veretekk. It seems that after a long departure many are discovering that there is nothing out there like good ole Veretekk.

Case in point, Butch Hamilton has returned after being gone for over 6 months. In his own words:

Hello, my name is Butch Hamilton. For many of you who know me, and for those that do not, I am going to share a story with you about my relationship with Tom Prendergast and Veretekk. I began some seven years ago. I came to Veretekk with a burning desire to find another way to make a living, other than welding and construction. I actually began this journey on ebay. I started and operated a highly successful ebay store where I specialized in my stock and trade of welding equipment. It was a fun business, and I made enough money to lay the construction business aside, and do it full time. I enjoyed the exposure in being able to place my stuff on ebay, and turn a handsome profit. I eventually became a power seller there, and opened an ebay store where I sold welders and equipment around the world.

I decided one day that I wanted to get a website, so I hard a webmaster in Florida to do this for me. She did a very good job, and I THOUGHT that I was ready to make money with my own marketing site. Weeks went by, with no sales. I called her, and tried to get her to tell me what was wrong. Unfortunately, she knew not one thing about promoting online. I found this amazing, but actually, I see this all the time now. Web designers can build great sites, but there are very few, if any that know anything about website promoting. So, I began the journey of turning to Google to learn how to promote my website. As you all know who are reading this, that most of the stuff that we find on Google is nothing but crap. I bought everything that I could, downloaded ebooks, the whole nine yards, but basically, that information was nothing but ways for me to spend more money. Honestly I was very frustrated with the whole scheme of Internet marketing. I joined a lot of Internet businesses, and tried to find just one that would allow me to make money. Well, here we go again. Most of those were nothing but marketing scams, designed to further suck money out of my pocket. I had several organizations where I built large downlines, but no real money came from them.

I was surfing on Google one day, and came across Blastomatic. I signed up for it, not knowing one thing about what I was getting myself in for. A couple of days went by, and my sponsor called me. I thought, oh boy, here we go. Another guy trying to milk money out of my pocket. But that never happened. He simply told me about Veretekk, and that I should take a close look. I could use this system to build whatever business I wanted to. So, I signed up, and went gold right away, to begin the process. I was totally lost at first. I decided to go to each and every training class that I could find. The deeper in I got, the more interesting the process became. The Veretekk trainers were most helpful in giving me information, and I decided to go full time with this new approach called search engine optimization.

I took a course that Tom offered called Gorilla Marketing. In those sessions, he went into great details about html, writing content, how to build websites, how to learn the intricate details of marketing online. One day, I receive a call from none other that the Big Kahuna himself, Tom Prendergast. He said that he had noticed that I attended all the training classes, and seemed to be very interested in this whole thing. He asked me one question. Are you willing to do what I ask? I said sure. So here were the rules for me to follow. He wanted me to create 1000 first family classified ads. After that, he wanted a minimum of 500 free pages. He did NOT tell me how to do it, he simply said DO IT!

Folks, I have to tell you that this was the beginning of my greatest struggle. The only thing that I knew how to do was write. I had to learn html code. I had to learn how to submit to the search engines. I had to write effective keyword specific copy. I had to learn every single element of Internet marketing from the ground up. I did NOT ask questions, I simply attempted to do the work. I did NOT get ready to do this, I simply did it.

When I completed the tasks that were set before me, I contacted Tom. He was amazed at what he saw. He told me that he had never had anyone do this work as he had instructed. From that point, I know that I was headed in the right direction. Over the years, Tom and I grew very close, and are best of friends today. We do not always agree, but there is one sure thing. We are both supreme when it comes to marketing websites on the search engines. No doubt, there are so called gurus out there, but they simply cannot hold a candle to what we can accomplish.

About seven months ago, I was growing very weary of the whole ball game of search engine optimization. I had built up a very good business, but honestly, unless you have ever promoted websites for someone, you have no idea what you are getting into. I find that almost no one knows anything about what you do. They expect you to build their business for them. This is simply not what SEO is. SEO is all about creating professional profiles in keyword specific areas for websites. From there, its up to the business owners to contact the leads, and make the sales. I began to grow weary and bone tired from all this bs. I had spent years of 16-18 hours per day, seven days a week running my business. One day, I decided that I no longer wanted to be on the Internet, and I flat quit! I walked away, sold my computers, and vowed that I would never get in deep like I had before. Tom and I had some words, and boom, I was gone.

Seven months of spending great times with my wife Debbie, and my precious little grandchild Emma, taught me a lot. I did a tremendous amount of thinking, visualizing and creating a new perspective on my job on the Internet. I had built a very good Trivita business, and simply lived off that income. Now, you might say that I am getting rich with Trivita, but honestly, I am doing very well. Anyone who has an Internet business, and can live quite nicely from the income, is in the top 10% of people making money online. Do NOT kid yourself here, folks. Do NOT believe that all these gurus are, what they say they are. There are very few million-dollar earners on the net, because if there were, Tom and I would surely fall in the category.

Seven months passed, and I began to evaluate my position. I decided to purchase a new computer system, and come back with the full intent and purpose of building my TriVita business even better. I considered conducting SEO campaigns, but honestly, I really have no time for that. I will simply use my talent and expertise to build my TriVita business. I saw Tom one of my FaceBook accounts, and I decided to add him as a friend. I thought that either he would, or would not, and either way was fine. Soon, he did add me as a friend, and contacted me. We spoke on the phone that day, and it was like a homecoming reunion. We both apologized for the words we had, and realized that we are as much like brothers as two people can be.

True story:

Tom told me that one of my old Veretekk was earning about $400 per month, and had been growing, since my leaving. I was amazed at this statement. The next statement was even more amazing. He shared that he was willing to begin paying me commissions on that system! Imagine that folks. The CEO of Veretekk was going to continue to pay my commissions on a system that I had done nothing with in over 7 months. To say the least, I was blown away. This simply goes to show you what kind of man Tom really is.

The new HOSTING system Veretekk is getting ready to launch, of which I am beta testing now, with the Cpanel hosting is really amazing. I had cut my teeth on the Plesk control panel, and I figured to have issues, but honestly, it is very simple and easy to use. When you consider the low price of $54.95 per month, for all the value that you are getting, it is crazy not to choose Veretekk, and the Veretekk tools for your online promoting presence on Google. Nothing can match the SEO power, but as I have always said, YOU must learn how to use it effectively. You cannot expect instant results in building an online business. You must be dedicated to building that business, and never quit until you achieve your results. I will also say that attending the training classes is great, but YOU are going to be the one that makes it or breaks it. NO one can answer all your questions. You have to be willing to jump in with both feed and become dedicated.

I wish you all wellness and prosperity, and I look forward to seeing your business name at the top of Google!

Butch Hamilton
TriVita Director

Veretekk has always struggled to some degree an identity issue. What exactly is Veretekk. Over the years this question not only plagued me, but many of you as well. Yes Veretekk gets you leads, excellent leads at that. We call them premium leads.

Veretekk offers one of the highest quality email and autoresponders systems long before the other guys ever did.

Veretekk delivers the finest live online marketing training.

Veretekk established the Traffic Portal concept and delivers to this day.

But, Veretekk has always been a social networked system.. Trainers from the ranks with open conference rooms and a solid family atmosphere of like-minded entrepreneurial individuals who find Veretekk a home on the Internet.

Veretekk is about 15 years old now, and still chugging along. It seems that the Internet is finally catching up with Veretekk and that is why Veretekk has discovered her true value.

Veretekk has always been about building leads, a sphere of influence and later built tools and assets to get to the top of Google and other search engines.

During this evolution, Veretekk has developed into the premier SEO Social Networking system. Especially with the advent of the Platinum Control Panel, the power of groups of entrepreneurs working together to gain top search engine rankings has become rather obvious and unparalleled anywhere else on the Internet.

This direction is responsible for the advent of V2 a brand new platform with the arsenal of Veretekk tools and services.

Imagine the email publication system called The Bully Pulpit. Right now it sends your messages, your content, your Newsletters out to all of the email contacts in your database.

We are working it right now to build into it, additional publication capability. Imagine being able to send the same Bully Pulpit message to yours and others Veretekk RSS feed system, WordPress blogs, Blogger.com blogs, Facebook and Tweeter accounts and another 800 plus Social Network systems.

The Platinum Control Panel already has some of these features already working. Combined with this huge publication tool will be a total interface on your new V2 front end interface.

V2 will no longer be referred to as a website or page but a full interactive interface constantly changing and updating in real time.

Before we launch this juggernaut we had some big challenges to address and we are now addressing them. We fired the old engineers who were hamstringing us and brought on a loyal and long time Veretekk veteran who is also a very competent and professional server, SQL and email engineer among many other talents and abilities. I am telling you right now, Veretekk now has the dream team working for you. The future is looking bright.

Meet our new server engineer: Mariusz Antonik

Mariusz originally from Poland lives in America and has been with Veretekk for some time. You know him because he is also a Veretekk trainer as well as a member of the esteemed Platinum Warriors group.

What you did not know is Mariusz's abilities with our servers eclipses the previous engineers we had employed for many years. Those of you that have been with us for some time know the frustrations the other engineers represented to Mike Darling and myself. Needless to say I am relieved to finally move on from that serious log jam they represented.

With Mariusz you are going to see massive and quick improvements with Veretekk again, just like the good old days.

Oh yeah, like the Sequential Email system. For years many of you suggested, even begged that we ad a feature to the letter system that would allow you to add a letter or delete a letter in an existing set of Sequentyial letters. You can thank Marius for doing just that, then putting it into testing production with our Warrior group before making it available to all of us.

Job well done Mariusz. Like I said, the sun is coming out to shine all over Veretekk again.

We can also thank Mariusz for the integration of our hosting system into Veretekk. A job that is almost ready to launch.

Commercial quality Hosting

Speaking of Hosting make sure you attend the Sunday conference as I will be handing out additional beta access to the hosting system as we move forward to final launch to several Gold members that attend. If your Silver now is a good time to go Gold. If you tell me you are a new Gold I will give you early beta access to the Cpanel hosting..

Prior to launch we are building a series of training videos, getting trainers ready to deliver Cpanel training conferences and creating all the promotional material you will need to promote this extremely valuable addition to your Veretekk Gold system.

FYI: This Sunday you will hear testimony from several members that will attest to the true value that our new Cpanel commercial level hosting is worth. Would you be surprised to hear that a similar hosting system would cost you more than what you pay for Veretekk right now?

New Direction for Veretekk

As you know we have always been focused on Veretekk being designed to promote your business as diverse as we are this is and still remains our core focus.

However, as I have had time to think and assess and immerse myself into the evolving culture of the Internet, I have had an epiphany.

Veretekk should also deliver the necessary support like an up line in your business would for your particular market and or business opportunity.

As I have researched and made plans for our new Forum (IE: Like the warriorforum) which includes almost all popular markets and MLM opportunities as sections in that forum, it began to make sense that a missing ingredient in Veretekk is just that. As we build this new forum it will have many categories and will grow with new categories to represent your business directions. Like SEO and affiliate marketing categories. Like MLM categories for Shaklee, Melalueca, Trivita, Pre Paid Legal, Bios Life Slim, etc. I am sure the forum will grow exponentially.

The forum will be open to the public and search engines but it's primary directive will be to teach and support the entire industry.

We will hook the forum current posts into your V2 web interface as well.

But after realizing the direction of the new forum it also became clear that we have not been utilizing the full potential of our conference rooms.

As we near the full release of Veretekk V2 (IE: The SEO Book Network) we will be delivering live conferences that will be focused on teaching specific members how to market specific opportunities. IE: We will have open web conferences teaching those members interested how to build a Shaklee business, How to get customers for their Shaklee opportunity, how to get top SEO results in the right keywords for Pre Paid Legal, how to build an SEO social network team to develop a huge Search Engine presence for their Bios Life Slim team, etc.

We will begin looking for leaders in all viable opportunities and markets to offer these trainings for members in the businesses they represent.

We will have Cindy McAsey and Butch Hamilton as guests this Sunday offer their perspective as to why this is a major development and how this can explode your business in both Veretekk and your perspective opportunity.

Do not miss this meeting!
 

I would like to thank you for the opportunity of meeting great people that are willing to help a person to learn on how to market on the internet. I have had the opportunity to learn HTML from Van Dessasau and boy that has been GREAT. I have also meet Jim Gras, Tom Stack, Steve Turner, Ty, Manuel Washington, and Paul Stanton. I have also meet Cindy McAsey and boy her class is exciting. I can hardly wait for Sunday morning to come around for two great classes. They are HTML with Van and The Loss Leader with Steve Turner. I have put what I have learned in these two classes to work. The class that Jim Gras taught on title tags was supper.

I hope one day to become a Veretekk Trainer and work with Van on HTML because I really like to see the results on the pages I do. I cannot wait for the New Veretekk System to be done. So again I say a big thank you.

I for one, as well many others I know are delighted to have come across such a goal driven, high energy, and low maintenance personality. He is one that takes the ball and runs with it full steam ahead. What a great winner! The first time I talked to Anthony I saw right off that he had the GANAS power. That is the ability to be able to look someone straight in the eyes and gain a person's attention without any tools, chalk board, painted room, or any device made by man kind. Just pure ole savy gives him the ability to hold one person or 250 people's attention on what is being said. That is a trait that only a few have and Anthony has definitely got GANAS.

He now is a Veretekk member headed toward becoming one of the all time great marketers of today. I am looking forward to his progress and he has already started that journey in the right direction. .I can see him as a high intelligent person passing that knowledge to others as an Internet marketing consultant of the first degree and applying it to his business, program, or services. But I guess the best I like about Anthony is his downright common sense approach to whatever the conversation is about.

He is not easy to jump toward hype, but realizes what is best for him and others situation at the moment. Too few companies lack Anthony's traits and would be enhanced by using people like him more often. Their company would definitely grow by leaps and bounds. Once again I can see Anthony as one of the top trainers in the Veretekk marketing system and a successful online business career.

Here's Why?

- Backlinking: You want to get your site recognized in search engines like Google... you need backlinks. Veretekk has over 40 Portals in each Gold System that you can place your link and a Platinum Control Panel has up to 20 Gold Systems under it... do the math... over 800 backlinks to your site with one system.

- Blogging: with Blogger Bully, you can send out articles to 100 Blogs at a time. I personally have over 500 Blogger accounts and within 20 minutes... I can post an article to all of them.

- Leads: each Gold System funnels through leads and will aquires 1000's of new leads every day and out of those... you will see 5-15 new premium leads ready to call you and find out more about your business every day. Lets say you only get 1 or 2 of those premium leads to join your business every day. Do you think you would have a successful business? You betcha... sponsoring 7-14 new people into your business every week is huge in this industry!

The Platinum Control Panel from Veretekk is way more than what I mentioned above... and wait till you see what the new Veretekk V2 brings in on top of what is already available! Google Search Veretekk Warriors and find someone to help you set up your Veretekk Platinum Control System Today!

Web Conferencing

This work at home article is dedicated to the art and science of web conferencing. Now, if you are not really sure what web conferencing is all about, view this article from Wikipedia. Web conferencing is used to conduct live meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the Internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees' computers or a web based application where the attendees access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by email meeting invitation to enter the conference.

A webinar is a neologism to describe a specific type of web conference. It is typically one-way,[1] from the speaker to the audience with limited audience interaction, such as in a webcast. A webinar can be collaborative and include polling and question & answer sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter. In some cases, the presenter may speak over a standard telephone line, while pointing out information being presented onscreen, and the audience can respond over their own telephones, speaker phones allowing the greatest comfort and convenience. There are web conferencing technologies on the market that have incorporated the use of VoIP audio technology, to allow for a completely web-based communication. Depending upon the provider, webinars may provide hidden or anonymous participant functionality, making participants unaware of other participants in the same meeting.

For interactive online workshops web conferences are complemented by electronic meeting systems (EMS) which provide a range of online facilitation tools such as brainstorming and categorization, a range of voting methods or structured discussions, typically with optional anonymity. Typically, EMS do not provide core web conferencing functionality such as screen sharing or voice conferencing though some EMS can control web conferencing sessions.

In the early years of the Internet, the terms web conferencing was often used to describe a group discussion in a message board and therefore not live. The term has evolved to refer specifically to live or synchronous meetings.

The reason I am writing on this topic is simple. My business depends on web conferencing to present adequately my work at home business to prospects. I always use presentations, rather than pitches in these conference room sessions. I offer benefits, solutions, education and knowledge about my TriVita business. It is then up to my prospect to discern within their own mind if this business model is suitable for them to consider. I have been using web conferencing for years. I find it the most appealing way to speak, and present my work at home business to anyone desiring that information. There is no cost to attend these sessions, and the information that you, my faithful Google readers will have, is invaluable to you.

As a matter of fact, I invite you to login to my web conferencing room anytime. You are welcome to come and see how I build my work at home business.

Work At Home

Cross Recruiting

In today's work at home article, I am going to dig deep into the mysterious world of cross recruiting. If you have not yet been exposed to cross recruiting, and have been involved in a work at home MLM or network marketing business of some sort, then you will sure feel this exposure to another MLM deal just as surely as the sun comes up in the morning. You will probably be asked, at some point, to join your powerful upline sponsor, in yet another money making work at home scheme. I have to ask myself if this is the right, or the wrong approach when building an online business? If your business is growing, and if you are making some good money, then why in the world would you take a chance, and lose that, just for the simple fact that your greed overtook your logic?

I am not sure if you are familiar with the term MLM junkie. This is a person who gets so wrapped up in pitching deals, that he or she really does not care whether they jeopardize their current standing with their work at home business. They are so totally over ridden by the pitch for the next latest and greatest deal, that they soon forget the good business plan that they have going. Most assuredly, I can only think that either greed, or hopeless addiction to the next gig, is driving their entire focus.

You, yes you faithful Google reader, have been reading my articles. I know this for a fact as I am tracking the hits of each of these of determine if I am doing a good job, getting visitors to my work at home site, and the people that are visiting are receiving some good information. I also know for a fact, that you, at some point, are going to fill out my contact form, or at the very least, are going to steal my content, and place it on your own site. Either way is fine, and I am totally aware that each and every time that I write a work at home article, they are receiving good notoriety and presence on Google.

Within these articles I have writing about TriVita, work at home, and how to create a substantial work at home business by using specific techniques and strategies of search engine optimization. Finally, you will also understand that I do not pitch deals. I only use educational marketing and presentations to build my work at home business. These strategies work, as is clearly known because my TriVita business grows each and every week, and will continue to do so for the long term. So, do I have people in my TriVita business that are currently cross recruiting, indeed I do. I am well aware that even my powerful so called upline sponsor, is probably amongst the worst violators of ethics and good judgment, and cross recruits not only my downline, but has tried to do this on me on several occasions. Indeed, I feel that this is unethical, after all, I am making this person good money by my efforts. So I have to ask myself the burning question, why would they do this? Why would this person, who is making money from me, and my downline, try and pitch his latest and greatest money making scheme?

The very nature of MLM and network marketing is this approach to hop from one deal to the next. I have seen this many times, and over the last seven year period, every business that I have been involved in promoting, the same thing happens. This is old news to most of you who have been involved in some type of affiliate program. The grass always seems greener on the other side of the MLM fence. You take a person who is driven to cross recruit, will eventually fall prey to the corporate headquarters, and they will surely remove that person from the organization. I feel that this is poetic and well deserved justice. I have even been pitched on deals that were told would amplify my earnings. My upline has used this area of cross recruiting, and because of this, has been basically found out that they were not the legend of the networking business, that they perceived themselves to be within their own mind.

If you have stayed with this article long enough, you should be well aware that I do NOT condone cross recruiting of any kind. I am here to build my work at home TriVita business. I am here to write my work at home articles, and provide people with excellent information concerning working at home. I am NOT here to try to convince, coerce or sell anyone, on anything. I only offer benefits and solutions, and if you do not see the value here, then I say good luck in your current business. Who knows, this article about cross recruiting may even be found by my powerful upline sponsor. I really doubt it however, that this person believes in the old school network marketing approach of bringing in all your family and friends. This approach, in my mind, simply will not work, as you will soon find, those friends and family will do absolutely nothing to build your business. Most cross recruiters reall have an illness I believe, and should probably seek a new pill from another network marketing company that will solve their issues. They will probably have one of those in the very near fukture.

Who knows, I may even offer a cash reward if I find anyone pitching my downline on another great deal. I take great pride in the fact that my people, even though some are not seeing the kind of progress that they thought they would, at least are not getting pitched on another deal to join. I would never use this cross recruiting approach, as I certainly am no MLM junkie!

Work at Home – Are you one of the millions of people who work at home? I am. I work at home, part-time in the network marketing industry and I make money. Maybe you are one of the millions who do not work at home, but want to. Sadly, a great percentage of those who try to work at home with network marketing, don’t make enough money (or lose money and quit). They may start up with another company, but they usually get the same results. There are many reasons for their downfalls and we will cover all of them in due course, along with the processes for overcoming the pitfalls.

The most important concept to understand, right from the start, is nature of Network Marketing and the responsibilities of the entrepreneur who works at home. As an affiliate of a company, it is our job to do the “networking”. It is the company’s job to do the “marketing”. You must be, or become, an effective networker to succeed. How large is your “sphere of influence”? People with big spheres of influence, make big bucks. To grow your sphere, you have to enlarge your network.

The Team at Its Good Business are Professional SEO Networkers. SEO, if you are unaware, is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. We are really good at Online Networking and we are also good at teaching how to do it.

Every business person is looking to expand their sphere of influence through some type of networking. Those of us who work at home, must do it to grow our business and make a profit. If you want to learn how professional online networking is actually accomplished, go to Its Good Business and begin your learning process.

I have over 25 years in the retail grocery industry with 20 of those years in the management of small and large sales volume stores. I was also a partner with my wife Tracy in the ownership of our own grocery store.

I always wanted to own a business so that I would have control over my time and money. Little did I realize that it would be just the opposite. I ended up with both no time and no money. The glamour of being a business owner sure vanished quickly, but the experiences will be long lasting.

I knew that it would be very difficult to go back and work for someone else but at that time necessary to support my family.

Ever since I was about 12 years old I had some type of business on my own and I knew I would have to keep on searching for the answer to the question that was eating me up inside. Am I going to be a slave to someone else for the rest of my life?

I started in the work at home Network Marketing industry in 1993 and failed miserably. I new the Network Marketing business model was the greatest business model ever created and I kept on searching for the answer.

Moving forward I had been building my work at home business marketing off line for over the past ten years. I was having some success but not the kind I was looking for to accomplish.

In April of 2007 I started my quest for online success, I knew the Internet was big but had no idea of the magnitude and the amount of income being generated on it or claimed to be generated.

Finding the right mentors and learning the strategies to develop the residual income I desired has not been an easy task. With so much hype and false hope it would have been very easy to throw up my hands and just give up. Believe me I thought about it many times.

After trying several different systems I am finally getting the training to build a successful work at home business. I am talking about honest, passionate and motivated mentors who want to see you succeed. Working with these mentors has now giving me the passion to do the same for you and thousands of others who have the desire and determination to learn these skills.

Work At Home Podcasts

A podcast or non streamed webcast, is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The word usurped webcast in common vernacular, due to rising popularity of the iPod and the innovation of web feeds.

The mode of delivery differentiates podcasting from other means of accessing media files over the Internet, such as direct download, or streamed webcasting. A list of all the audio or video files currently associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software known as a podcatcher that can access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be automated so that new files are downloaded automatically. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simple and convenient access to episodic content. Commonly used audio file formats are Ogg Vorbis and MP3.

Academics at the Community, Journalism and Communication Research group at the University of Texas at Austin in the USA are proposing a four part definition of a podcast: A podcast is a digital audio or video file that is episodic, downloadable, program driven, mainly with a host and theme, and convenient, usually via an automated feed with computer software.

I use TalkShoeRadio as one of my podcasting services; however, I am not impressed with the content posting ability found there. Naturally, I want to have total control over my content, links and the way that they appear in my presentations.

I chose to create my own podcasting site. On Butch Hamilton's Work At Home Podcasts, I can upload my recordings, and post the content in the manner that will be most effective on Google.

These work at home podcasts provide Google readers and listeners to access information and ideas concerning building, and then growing, a work at home business for the future.

Work At Home

Obviously, there are numerous ways to approach a work at home business. Article marketing, of course, is the one that I am drawn to. I enjoy writing keyword specific articles, and watching my articles rise to the top of high traffic keywords. People find this information out on the Internet, and often times, will choose to become interactive to some degree. Posting comments is an excellent way to know that your visitors find value in your words, and the ways that you are approaching a work at home business. In my experience in dealing with many people online, the thought of building a work at home business takes priority in their lives. This tells an important story. People are searching on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches, for ways to increase their earnings, while enjoying a greater sense of accomplishment by working at home. There are ways to improve this art and science of work at home success. People starting businesses should be made fully aware that just having a site is really nothing. Forwarding domains to an affiliate site is not effective. You should be prepared to build your own marketing websites, and then promote those work at home business storefronts to the world of the Internet. Unless you are able to accomplish this, your chances of making sales, or putting people into your business will deal directly with your networking ability. In other words, you will have to go out and talk to others, get them to go to your website, and make your sales in that manner. For myself, I do not care for that way of doing business. I had much rather write, record podcasts, create YouTube videos and then have people find my information, and either fill out my contact forms, or simply call me on the phone.

It has been my experience that having a great site, a site that is marketable, offers benefits and solutions, and is highly interactive with the viewers, is the best option. Your website is your storefront on the search engines. The better, cleaner and crisper that site is, the better chance that you will have in getting people to notice your work at home business. Many people do not believe that they can create an appealing website. They will hire a professional web design firm to handle that for them. This approach is ok, but its very important to realize that the web designer holds total control of the content of the site. This is not a positive thing, as most web designers that I have known, and worked closely with, think that they know all there is to know about marketing online. This is a great fallacy. Almost all web design professionals can indeed, build a great looking site, but as far as the source code, and arranging proper titles, metatags and keywords, they will fall miserably short of the intended goal. So, what does this mean for your business? It simply means that unless you learn to create a positive backend source code for the search engine spiders to find, read and then place in high traffic keyword areas, you own nothing but a piece of digital trash.

One of the foremost leaders in website construction and development, Tom Prendergast, offers an excellent ebook called Build a Better Website. You can download this ebook, and learn all that there is to know about web design and development. This is just one of the free services that I offer my Google readers. This excellent presentation on how to build a great marketing website will offer you many insights and perspectives that you are welcome to implement in the process of developing your work at home business.

While writing is my core process in promoting websites, I also use podcasting. Podcasting offers the Google surfer the opportunity to download the presentations, and save them for later review. One of my favorite podcasting services is called TalkShoeRadio. By clicking on that link, you will be taken to my Work At Home recorded series. Here, I talk about many things such as developing a stable work at home business, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, and other aspects that I have learned, and taught others who want to build stable and financially rewarding work at home businesses. You will be getting first hand information and knowledge here, so be prepared to spend time, download all the recordings, and also bookmark the site, as I try to record several different radio shows per week. I only provide my information in an educational marketing format. I never pitch deals, but only offer real solutions to work at home entrepreneurs wanting to build great and stable work at home businesses.

I also provide services like forums to my Google followers. The Work At Home Internet Forum, though new, is picking up rave reviews and followers very quickly. Here, I offer the unique opportunity for any and all work at home entrepreneurs to have the ability to post their articles, comments, views and work at home business opportunities. This form is constantly being monitored by Google, Yahoo, MSN and Alexa. This is an excellent place to gather, and submit articles and become interactive with the other posters of the forum. Another great feature of this forum is that it produces a highly effective RSS feed. This RSS is distributed in many locations, so you are welcome to use it to your advantage and notoriety on your own blogs and websites. The content flowing into the forum will provide your site with constantly changing content, therefore calling the spiders to come and view your information as well.

It is quite obvious to me that my Google followers find my articles, podcasts, and blogs of interest. Checking just this morning, I have had in the neighborhood of 50,000 reads. Now this is impressive simply from the fact that I have only been tracking these articles for some 3 weeks. This tells me that people see the value in what I write, and are seeking great and positive information concerning working at home. Be my guest to click all the links in this article. You will be directed over to the others sites that I use in promoting my work at home business model below.

ItsGoodBusiness.net is the business plan that we, as a collective group of the SEO Social Networking by Veretekk System, use to promote our TriVita businesses. There is is. In that brief sentence is the purpose, the intent and the goal that we want to tell others about concerning work at home business.

Work At Home

Working at home is really the best way to live. When I think back about the jobs that I have had in the past, I almost shudder. Had there been an Internet around back in the earlier years, I can guarantee you that I would have never had any type of day job. I would have jumped into Google marketing, and would have developed a powerful presence very early. This way, any work at home business that I wished to pursue, I could do very well. Maybe work at home jobs are not suited for everyone. I was talking to a gentleman that has a good business concerning retail products. He desires to use the Internet to drive traffic to his shopping cart site. He informed me that using Google pay per click advertising is working well, but he is interested in learning how to approach Google from an organic search perspective. He told me that his business is demanding a huge portion of his time, but he is really interested in learning how to use the Internet to keep building his offline business. I told him frankly that if his business is doing well the way he is approaching it, why try to improve something like that? It takes time, effort, patience and dogged determination to learn how to use Google and the other search engines, to the maximum potential. No matter what some young so called guru will try to sell you, there simply is no easy way to gain organic search positions other than proven methods of link building and article marketing.

To say the least, most people are simply not willing to take the time, nor make the effort to learn the intricate art of search engine optimization. For those that are and do, there is nothing quite like seeing a website come to the top of a highly searched term, and watch the traffic, interest and visitors start to come into the contact forms, and the phone begin to ring. Work at home business is a tough row to hoe, but in the end, the journey is well worth the effort.

Becoming finely tuned to the ebb and flow of the Internet is the key ingredient to the successful promoting process of creating wealth and prosperity from a work at home business. There are no easy and quick solutions, there are only proven methods, implementation and integration of business tools and techniques that prove successful. Keeping that in mind, then the work at home business owner should set his or her course in the direction of education and knowledge concerning the process of working at home. With those elements locked firmly in place, the process becomes a fluid motion that will prove successful for work at home entrepreneurs.

More Work At Home Tales

I am lucky. I get to speak with an amazing amount of people in the work at home industry. I am able to discern, from their speech inflections, and their mannerisms on the phone, just how they are approaching this process called working in a home business. Many people struggle and strain in this industry. Many people are technically challenged on the computer. This is not to say that these folks are not intelligent, many times, the opposite is true. They seem to be motivated to wanting to change their lives, and they feel that Google is the best place to go for that. I would heartily agree, particularly in today's downward spiraling economic malaise. I do not care what you do, whether its building an offline business, or online, the process is much the same. From my perspective there are a couple of critical things that you should consider when choosing to build any type of business. I will go a little more into detail with this work at home article, and hopefully provide my faithful Google readers, with just a little more industry insight into the world of work at home business.

Location

Lets face the facts here. Without the right type of location, any business is doomed to fail. If you happen to be starting a small mom and pop hardware store, and your neighbor is Wal Mart, then you are probably in the wrong location. I read an interesting article from a guy who is supposed to know something about business and all that he basically said were three words. Location, location, location. I think that this sums up the whole ball of wax rather handily.

Location on Google is just as important. Since we work in a digital world, then obviously, we need to put our websites, which you should call your storefront, on a location where there is traffic, and people are earning for the goods and services that you are providing. If you do a good job of this, then your chances of making a sale, or at least being contacted by a lead, are relatively good. If your site is located on page 5000, then naturally, no one is going to see that site, and your chances are absolutely zero, towards making money from your latest and greatest widget work at home business.

Notice the similarities of offline and online businesses? There is no difference at all, except in the fact that we, in the work at home industry, work in a digital world. An information rich world of products, services and other necessary goods that we all need and use. This is the essence of trying to figure out how to make money from a work at home business model. When you begin to understand this process in great detail, you will learn that search engine optimization, or getting to the top of the Internet with your site, is one of the most important aspects of having success in that work at home business of yours.

Advertising

Advertising on Google is much like advertising any offline business. You have to get out your message about your products to people before you stand a chance at making sales. Internet advertising, and once again this is called search engine optimization, is the key ingredient in the process. Imagine if you will, a huge billboard on a major interstate highway. This billboard is seen by tens of thousands of people every day. Does and will, this billboard make the company sales? Indeed. The process of placing your advertising message using radio, TV and other sources is critical to an offline business. After all, if no one knows that you are in business, no matter how good your product is, you simply are not going to make sales, right?

Advertising on the Internet is the same thing. You are in the constant process of trying to place your site, your storefront, to a keyword phrase which people are searching for. Once again, this is called search engine optimization. I do not care what product, service or jungle juice that you promote, if you do not have people visiting that website, then you stand little, if any chance of making sales to anyone. Why is this? Well, your site gets pushed down to the bottom of the world wide web highway of digital trash. No one sees the site, and obviously no one cares about your product. There are many ways to promote an online business, but I can tell you for a fact that writing articles containing keyword specific information is one of the best ways. After all, you are reading this, right? Then obviously I have done my job in placing my information where you, my faithful Google reader has found it. Will you join my business, or fill out my contact form? Obviously, that remains to be seen, but in reality, I have done what I can do to promote my business. The rest is left up to the fates.

So what is the point of this work at home article? ItsGoodBusiness.net is the business plan that we, as a collective group of the SEO Social Networking by Veretekk System, use to promote our TriVita businesses.

Writing articles concerning work at home businesses is indeed, one of the best ways to gain notoriety and presence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other searches of the Internet. Work at home entrepreneurs should be aware that placing that content on live submission services, using blogs, forums, press releases and of course, social media networks is the key to success in a work at home business. Unless people become aware of this, and consistently make a habit of using these services each and every day, the success of any work at home business will be marginal, if any.

In dealing with hundreds of people over the years, I have instructed them in the art and science of search engine optimization. Having said this, there are very few of those people who maintain that professional attitude towards promoting. They are either afraid to take the plunge towards writing content, or they simply think that writing a few simple classified ads is going to gain them some type of notoriety and presence. The mystery of promoting a work at home business is really no mystery at all. You will simply choose a topic that fits a particular business model, and begin the process. That process; however, seems to be the last thing in the world that people will use to promote their businesses. I have written thousands of articles over the past seven years, and I know for a fact that this works today, and will always work in promoting a business online.

Work At Home

How many times have you received an email, viewed a website, listened to some so-called super guru network marketing legend on a teleconference call, or other inflated remarks telling you that just by joining this xyz thing, you will make money, live better, enjoy time freedom and many other things that are seemingly so appealing to people who are on the computer all the time? How many emails did you get just today that make claims about working at home, making money online, creating wealth from a home based business and all the other junk that floats about on Google, just how many of those either landed up in your spam email, or floated into your inbox, and you read them?

I do not know for sure, but I am thinking that you are similar to me in thinking that these are all lies and hype right? I am sure that finding a good work at home job is like finding a needle in a haystack, to put it mildly. I am also fairly sure that you must be seeking a different way to earn money, right? You are spending huge amounts of time looking, reading, viewing videos and attending to your Facebook account, thinking that somewhere, some way, there must be a system out there that is real, holds a potential of income for future benefits and is in fact, making people money as this article is being written. Am I right?

Work at home on Google is filled with absolute stupid, preposterous, insane articles and views from people that are thinking that readers of these sites will just find their little site or article, and will fall hopelessly into their newest and greatest juice business, and will make them money from a work at home business. This will be, supposedly, the easiest way to make money on Google that you have ever seen before. The reason that I write about things like the above statements, is precisely because I have heard, seen and listened to every trick in the book, when it comes to finding a perfect work at home business to join.

Let us stop the insanity, here an now, Google reader! There is NO perfect work at home business. There are NO secret downloadable programs that can be purchased for x amount of dollars that will make you rich, better looking, wiser or more intelligent than you are right here and now. There are no work at home businesses that will fulfill your every goal of working at home, and enabling you to have more time, freedom, money, health or any of the other things that you are seeking while going onto the Google search engine to find more information. There are none, there never have been, and there NEVER will be! The so called network marketing legends are few, if any. Think about it just a moment. IF a person is making millions of dollars from a work at home business, would they really waste their valuable time in trying to get others to join their wealthy work at home businesses? Would they not being lounging in front of their pool, driving their Rolls Royce and simply sitting back and laughing at the rest of the world?

Here are the facts. The businesses found on Google are mostly representative of people, just like yourself, who are spending their time writing about something that is, for the most part simply not true. Most of the people involved in work at home businesses are simply trying to figure out how to make money, and how to tell others their secret proven methods that no one knows about, simply to get their money, and walk merrily along their way. When I say most, it is an absolute fact. Now, you either follow along with me on this, or click off. Either way is perfect with me, as I am going to tell you the real story about building a real business that can make a living for you and your family.

ItsGoodBusiness.net is the business plan that we, as a collective group of the SEO Social Networking by Veretekk System, to promote our TriVita businesses. There is is.

Web Conferencing by Vereconference

This work at home article today deals directly with web conferencing. If you are not familiar with the term web conferencing, and how vital that the system could actually be to any work at home business, then I will dig a little deeper in here, to unlock some of the mystery surrounding the service. A good definition of web conferencing comes from Wikipedia. Web conferencing is used to conduct live meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the Internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees computers or a web based application where the attendees access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by email meeting invitation to enter the conference.

A webinar is a neologism to describe a specific type of web conference. It is typically one way, from the speaker to the audience with limited audience interaction, such as in a webcast. A webinar can be collaborative and include polling and question & answer sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter. In some cases, the presenter may speak over a standard telephone line, while pointing out information being presented onscreen, and the audience can respond over their own telephones, speaker phones allowing the greatest comfort and convenience. There are web conferencing technologies on the market that have incorporated the use of VoIP audio technology, to allow for a completely webbased communication. Depending upon the provider, webinars may provide hidden or anonymous participant functionality, making participants unaware of other participants in the same meeting.

For interactive online workshops web conferences are complemented by electronic meeting systems which provide a range of online facilitation tools such as brainstorming and categorization, a range of voting methods or structured discussions, typically with optional anonymity. Typically, EMS do not provide core web conferencing functionality such as screen sharing or voice conferencing though some EMS can control web conferencing sessions.

In the early years of the Internet, the terms web conferencing was often used to describe a group discussion in a message board and therefore not live. The term has evolved to refer specifically to live or synchronous meetings.

ItsGoodBusiness.net uses the web conferencing system provided us by Vereconference. Vereconference is by far one of the easiest to use, and the most cost effective of all web conferencing systems. I can say this will all honesty, as I am the Master Distributor for Vereconference. In holding that position, it was my goal to go out on Google and use all the of web conference rooms out there, to test them, and do a comparative research to find out the best one, in my opinion. Vereconference walked away with the honors hands down.

Web conferencing is a vital element in promoting our particular work at home business. ItsGoodBusiness.net utilizes web conferencing to hold our free presentations, as well as train, mentor and teach others, via the SEO Social Networking by Veretekk, to build successful work at home business models. Using a web conferencing system allows us to successfully convey our messages to the participants. Likewise, I also use the IGB room to talk with business prospects and hold our weekly live presentations concerning the ItsGoodBusiness.net business model, and integration and implementation used by us to introduce people to an entirely new and exciting way to build and prosper a work at home business.

Anyone reading this work at home article is welcome to login to our state of the art web conferencing room. You may do this by simply going to this link, ItsGoodBusiness.net, finding the box which says enter room, and simply follow the prompts on your computer. You will see a new site open up, and you will be inside the conference room.

Work At Home

The Most Overused Terms in Work At Home Business

In todays work at home article, I am going to dig just a little deeper into the meaning of the words work at home. I will also uncover some very interesting facts and insights, that if you are really searching for a great business to promote, this article may help you to understand just a bit more into the process of creating wealth from a work at home business model. Understand one thing. The articles that I write are taken from years of hard won experience in marketing online. I never stretch the truth, and always provide my Google readers with what I believe to be, the very best information that I can provide.

I will cover the subject of leads, socalled secret software download programs that make you rich with no effort, people who claim to be making millions of dollars on the Internet and reverse marketing. I believe that these subjects are indeed relevant to the work at home industry, and the information that I provide may just help you make a rational decision the next time someone talks to you on a website or email, about your future in the working from home industry.

Leads

A lead is someone who has filled out a contact form of some sort, and opted in to receive more information about a particular online business that caught their eye. A lead is simply that, and no more. Chances are very good that when that person is called about the business opportunity, they may well indeed not even remember, or say they do not remember, filling out any such form. I will give you an example of a person who filled in the ItsGoodBusiness.net contact form. Naturally, when I do receive those contacts, I pickup the phone and call them. I am willing to spend a little time in introducing myself, and the business plan as well. Anyway, I received a lead, and made the call. This guy picks up the phone and I introduced myself. He was just a half a bubble off level, if you know what I mean, and told me that he just like to fill out stuff on the Internet. He does this all the time. He did say that I was one of the few that ever called him back on the phone, but he was just on his way to church, and did not have time to talk with me. I chuckled to myself that this guy is just a prime example of people that are called leads. They really have no interest in anything at all, and perhaps, they are just lonely. In any case, I politely thanked him, and wished him well. I knew for a fact that this man was not needed in my work at home business.

Buying leads

If you are currently in a work at home business, perhaps you have bought leads before. Oh, I know what the websites claim. These fresh, double opted in leads are guaranteed to boost your online sales by 500 percent. And the list goes on and on about how their exclusive lead generating process is like none other seen on Google. Look, a lead, is a lead, is a lead. There are NO fresh leads, unless you learn to build your own lead capture pages, and post those pages to keyword areas on Google where people will find that information. Buying leads is no different at all than taking a trip to Las Vegas. You pay your money, and take your shot. There are no exclusive leads that no one else has, unless you learn how to produce those leads yourself. Keep in mind my tale of the guy above, who just liked to fill stuff out on the Internet! How would you liked to have purchased his name for a few dollars, thinking that he is wanting to join your business? I believe the term fits here in networking marketing NEXT!

Secret Software Download Programs that Make You Rich on the Internet!

There is always some guy or gal out there that is trying to come up with a new twist, to the old story of building a work at home business on the net. Folks, you need to pay attention to this. NO gurus are out there that have found the secret sauce to promoting a work at home business. Its a fact that most who make these types of claims, are probably not making any money at all, but are simply hoping and praying that someone, somewhere will lay down their $299 for the program. There probably are, by the way, people that will do just that. People are thinking when involved in a work at home business, that there is a secret, little known but to the chosen few gurus. If they can just purchase something like that, then they will get rich and be able to tell everyone how powerful and successful they are in the work at home industry. Granted, there are people, myself included, that do make a good living from a work at home business. I will tell you that even those people are hard to find, much less the ones that are supposedly getting rich in the home business field. The rule of the day should be, Save Your Money!

People Who Claim to be Making Millions of Dollars in a Work At Home Business

This is one of my favorite topics. I love writing about all these superguru network marketing legends out there that are supposedly making millions of dollars from a work at home business. These people are so blessed, that they are willing to help you to do the same. All you have to do is lay down your money, and they will show you, and work with you, on the process. I like to use the term gag me, every time I read, or hear about some person making this type of claim. I have personally been associated with many of the worlds leading authorities in the work at home business field. They did NOT make millions each month. Most of these people do earn a good living for themselves and their families, but are hardly getting filthy rich from the Internet. There would not be one out of a million, who could actually make that claim, and back it up. Oh sure, you have probably seen the websites with the cancelled checks on them showing how much money they made last week, but honestly, anyone could make those up in Adobe Photo shop, and send them out live on the net. Take it from someone who knows this business from the inside out, there are no such animals as the big dogs. They are only figments of their own inflated egos and imaginations.

Reverse Marketers

I believe that reverse marketers take the cake in being the most persistent, overbearing and totally obnoxious people working in the work at industry today. In case you do not know what a reverse marketer is, they are someone who will find your information out on the Internet, like phone numbers, email addresses and other sorts of information about you, and simply pickup the phone, and either do a voice broadcast recording to you, or speak directly with you. They will want to know all about your business, and you will probably choose to tell them about it. They will even fill out your contact forms, hoping that you will call them back. Eventually, depending on how slick they are, they will get to the core, and ask you if you would consider changing your online business. After all, they are offering a much better compensation plan than yours, and they are just asking that you take a look. If a person stoops to this level, you can bet your last dollar that they are not making one thin dime in their business. I have heard them all folks, and I know for a fact that reverse marketers are lower than the low, except for the automated dialing services like IBUZZPRO, in being invasive and down right nasty, in their approach to trying to build their business.

There you have my work at home article for today, and I trust that you did gain some interesting and enlightening information that you can use. If you are interested in learning the right way, the positive way, the pro active way to build a stable and long term business, then you need to view the various links in this article. They will lead you to learning more about the work at home business process.

Work At Home

Working at Home VS a Conventional Job

This morning, I wanted to delve a little more deeply into the work at home genre, and try to provide my Google reader with more insights into the advantages of building a stable work at home business model, versus having a conventional 9 to 5 job. The point to this article will be to unlock some of the mystery surrounding work at home jobs, and to provide solutions to those who are trying to improve their quality of life, and move away from the once thought of stable job mentality. I have done both, and for a fact, I can tell you that working at home is much better, much more creative and easier on the overall health and well being of myself, than working a day, or night job, ever was.

Job

A job is a regular thing performed to create a value in society and personality of individual for meeting the needs of that individual. A person usually begins a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, or starting a business. The duration of a job may range from an hour, in the case of odd jobs, to a lifetime. If a person is trained for a certain type of job, they may have a profession. The series of jobs a person holds in their life is their career. A job is something that we are taught to pursue from the earliest age. We have to work in order to earn money. This money will then be converted into the essentials of life such as food, rent, cars, clothes and all the other essential things that we need in order to exist on this planet today. A job is necessary, and everyone needs to work in order to live. Its just the way that society works.

A job can also be a very rewarding reason to live. Frankly, without purpose in life, there would be no reason to rise in the morning to greet the day. Even though many grumble at the thought of getting up and going to work, as any retired person may tell you, that one thing can literally mean the difference between feeling fulfilled, and simply having no reason to exist is that job. I have personally known many who talked about nothing but retiring, and being able to enjoy life for a change, wake to find themselves unemployed, and what they believed to be, unneeded, and simply wither away into obscurity. They got very old, very quickly, simply because they had no purpose in life. Conversely, I have seen very depressed people, who had worked for many years in a go nowhere and do nothing job, retire and simply bet better with age. As you and I know very well, its all about how we think, that governs our very existence on this planet.

Working at Home

Now we enter into yet another job, called a work at home business. Just like the conventional day job, a work at home job can become very lucrative, very creative and offer you many benefits and solutions that they day job could never provide. I find that working at home perfectly suits my mentality. I hate being told what to do, especially when I know that there is a better way to do it. For myself, my creativity and passion can grow and expand each and every day. I find that working a work at home job is something that my mentality is perfectly suited for. I know exactly when I arise early in the morning, the different tasks that I will accomplish on that day. I have a set routine of writing, creating and visualizing my goals in my work at home business, and simply and methodically set my course for that day.

I find that the work at home job is simple, and offers me the same benefits as working a day job, without all the stress and headaches. Sure, it takes years to build a successful work at home business, but I can guarantee you this, that once developed, the doors literally open up into new worlds of entrepreneurship that you had not even dreamed of.

That is exactly what the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan is all about. Implementing specific techniques and strategies, using Veretekk as the prime SEO Social Networking system, that leads people positively towards a path of success within the work at home business field. There is simply nothing better, or more seamless to use in working from home. Whether you are completely new to this whole idea of working at home, or even if you are a seasoned WAH pro, then you should click the highlighted links in this article to learn more information that you can use, to further your cause.

Work At Home

The work at home articles written are for the express purpose of getting to the top of Google for the keyword work at home. There is no doubt that working towards this goal is difficult, but with the proper tools, motivation, determination and work, this goal will be accomplished. I have many who ask me how long? I never know, as Google has their own time, but I do know this, with the help of the SEO Social Networking IGB Team, this goal will be accomplished.

As I continue to write content concerning work at home business on Google, I am reminded of the years of intensive work and effort that it has taken me to become proficient in the art and science of search engine optimization. I am always in the forward motion process of teaching, training and mentoring specific people, who have chosen to operate a very efficient TriVita business using the principles we offer in ItsGoodBusiness.net. These dedicated and talented people have taken on a massively complex job of promoting a website to the top position of one of the most aggressively searched term on Google today, called work at home. Our combine goal is to reach this pinnacle position, and share our stories of success in our particular work at home business model called TriVita, and offer our assistance, mentoring, teaching and training others to accomplish what we are currently accomplishing. This is precisely SEO Social Networking by Veretekk in action. While others on the search engines are hawking their newest and latest widget businesses, we simply work quietly in the background, and build our businesses the right way. The processes that we implement deal directly with writing keyword specific content. For my Google readers, this should be some very good information and insights into how a successful SEO campaign is conducted. This simply does not apply to the casual surfers of the Internet who are looking for the next big deal to jump in on. What we talk about in the work at home industry are proven methods of building a strong and viable work at home business that will last far into the future. A work at home business should be thought of as an art form in constant motion. After all, as anyone who approaches any keyword phrase on Google knows, its all about testing, testing and retesting. Many times you will fall short of your intended goals, but them it is simply time to start over, and approach the problem from a different perspective.

As I continue this process, I am becoming more aware of the whys concerning the failure rate in building a good solid work at home business model. It is not a lack of commitment. It is not a lack of desire. It often times a simple lack of understanding that nothing really happens quickly on the Internet. You should be prepared to stay in your work at home business for years, not months. You should be willing to know that eventually, even though you are not seeing the results you had hoped for happening right now, will happen in the future. This is the way that any stable business is built. It takes years, and if you are not willing to wait that long for your results, then you probably will not last long in the work at home industry. The IGB team, of which I am very proud to be part of, is willing to spend their valuable time in teaching and training others in how to become successful in a work at home business. We are here to also share the good news concerning the overall perspective of working at home. While millions of people have tried and failed in business, we continue on the path, knowing full well that our business, even though slow in the startup phase, will work in the end. I have seen many good people become frustrated and angry, and simply drop off into the conventional work world of a real job, simply because they did not have the ability to make positive steps, each and every day, in learning the process of promoting their work at home businesses. Its sad really, when you think about it. Each time a new person comes aboard in the work at home field, and then does not make it, it is a reflection on the entire industry. I provides the naysayers even more fuel to say, well, I told them that working at home is not possible.

For the naysayers of the Internet, I inject this thought. You must look at the process, and the keyword here is process, of building a work at home business, or any business for that matter, is a matter of time, effort, diligence and pursuit of perfection. Even though that perfection will never be gained, the simple act of trying to achieve that status, is enough. The journey is worth the effort in the end, and I highly recommend the work at home business model for anyone with the guts to withstand all the trial and tribulations, are thick skinned enough to withstand the criticism and taunts of others, and simply and efficiently work towards achieving the goal of becoming self employed and financially free.

Work At Home

According to my stats, my Google readers are enjoying the work at home articles that I have been writing. To those readers, I say thanks. It is my goal in writing about working at home to guide, teach and direct into the actual way that I promote websites to top positions on Google. I give you real time information, with nothing held back, into this process.

Today, I will be more direct in my approach when writing about ItsGoodBusiness.net. This business plan and strategy is NOT something that you join. I seem to have many people that contact me that are confused. They want to join, but in reality there is NOTHING to join! My goal in this work at home article is to tell you exactly what the ItsGoodBusiness.net plan is, what Veretekk is, and what the product that we market called TriVita, is all about. This will be the final resting place for interested prospects to join, and then benefit from the teaching, mentoring and training that will be provided you by implementing the various business strategies that I have outline so far.

ItsGoodBusiness.net

ItsGoodBusiness.net is a specific way of marketing TriVita, that has been in motion for just about three years now. The business plan works, and will work in the future, in regards of showing and mentoring people on how to build a successful TriVita business. The plan, first implemented by Tom Prendergast, the CEO and Founder of Veretekk, is based on the power of Veretekk to promote any business that people are currently involved with. Tom, since being a member in TriVita for many years, saw his TriVita business steadily grow, and his investment returns, year by year, simply grew as well. Now, if you are currently involved in a work at home business, you are probably not seeing the sort of financial rewards that you desire. ItsGoodBusiness.net gives you a competitive edge in marketing. Quite frankly, there is nothing more powerful than Veretekk to promote a business on Google.

Veretekk

Veretekk is the supreme SEO Social Networking system whereby you join, and actually learn proven techniques that lead to improved rankings on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLIve and the other major search engines of the Internet. Veretekk, no matter what you may have heard, is much more than lead generation, autoresponders, lead capture pages and more. Veretekk, I consider, to be an artistic and creative method for gaining top rankings on Google. What we teach is search engine optimization techniques. That is the core of Veretekk. We teach our members to achieve excellent rank on the search engines, and in turn, that exposure may lead to sales being made. There is simply no other more seamless and sophisticated automated marketing system like Veretekk.

TriVita

The company and products that we use ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk to promote, is called TriVita. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the epicenter for health and wellness on the Internet. Their health food products assist tens of thousands of people in the US and Canada, and plans are now being made to add Australia to the plan as well. I have tried most of the products, and can certainly recommend them to anyone with confidence. TriVita offers something that is unheard of in the work at home industry. You can buy customers from TriVita, to build your own TriVita business. What this means is that you can purchase customers who have either purchased the products from the numerous infomercials, or people who have joining from the .com site. It is an excellent way to gain a foot hold in building a strong and viable TriVita business. Also, TriVita markets to your affiliates on your behalf, each and every month. This also adds an automated marketing aspect to TriVita that almost no other work at home company can offer. All in all, TriVita has helped me to achieve my goal of becoming financially free, and provided my family with a nice income. Not many companies can do that for you.

Work At Home

Work At Home

In the work at home articles I have been writing lately, I have been attempting to give my Google readers with food for thought in regards to working at home. The one point that I should make is this. Working at home is no picnic. Any, and all work at home jobs will require knowledge, education, intuition, creativity and never quit attitude to build properly. Below, I will outline each word from above, to make the content much clearer.

Knowledge

Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject; what is knowledge in a particular field or in total, facts and information, or awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Platos formulation of knowledge as justified true belief. There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate.

Knowledge in terms of a work at home business would include learning how to approach the search engines with your information. Placing websites to top positions on Google is primarily one of the most important elements, and sadly, the most misunderstood element of any work at home business today.

Education

Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.

Education in the art and science of creating a profession profile on Google, learning how to properly approach the Internet with proper website alignment and properties, and learning the true ways of Internet marketing, are all part of education. Without it, you will probably fail in your work at home business. Becoming educated in work at home businesses is also one of the great aspects that is sadly neglected. People join a particular business, and then, what is to be done?

Intuition

Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. The word intuition comes from the Latin word interim, which is often roughly translated as meaning to look inside or to contemplate. Intuition provides us with beliefs that we cannot necessarily justify. For this reason, it has been the subject of study in psychology, as well as a topic of interest in the supernatural. The right brain is popularly associated with intuitive processes such as aesthetic abilities. Some scientists have contended that intuition is associated with innovation in scientific discovery. Intuition is also a common subject of New Age writings.

Intuition can also be called visualization. Visualization, I believe, is one of the most necessary part of the artistic approach to marketing online. Indeed, if one visualizes the outcome of the work at home business, then that surely will happen. The problem is, and this is after talking and working with hundreds of people over the years, most of them lack the visualization that will lead them on an entirely new path towards their success. Honestly, most people either do not believe in the Internet as a valid source of income, or they are lacking in being able to lock into positive thoughts, which lead to positive action, and promote their work at home businesses in that way.

Creativity

Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing. Creativity in marketing any work at home business leads to new success. Creatively learning how to tap into the ebb and flow of Google, learning how to write specific content for the spiders, and creatively building websites that are not only simple and effective, but also highly searchable by those spidering robots, is perhaps one of the most important elements in the overall performance of any business. Most work at home entrepreneurs come from conventional job backgrounds. In my opinion a real job just allows little creativity as your boss will do his level best to thwart your attempts at being a creative and positive human being. This leads to frustration, depression and that nagging feeling of being locked in a box. Work at home business is the cure for that problem. The Internet on Google lays at your feet, and you are only limited by your imagination and creativity to approach it.

Never Quit Attitude

This last element is possibly the most important part of developing a profitable work at home business model. I would seem that would be entrepreneurs are very susceptible to jump from one business to the next, searching far and wide for the next big launch of some product or service. Perhaps the enticement comes from an email from so called guru marketer. Maybe a site is found that tells the reader about the latest and greatest secret sauce to marketing a work at home business, and before you know it, they are hitting the I Submit button, and paying their money for the next latest and greatest deal found on the Internet today! This MLM Junkie attitude is seen far and wide in the work at home business. For my readers, please take notes. Join a business, stick with that business, never quit that business, and eventually, you will come out the winner. If you jump from one deal to the next, most often you will only lose your money, time, energy and your belief that working at home will work for you.

In ItsGoodBusiness.net we teach, train and mentor individuals in the specific arts and sciences that they need to build a work at home business. There are no frills or statements of becoming rich here. There are only quiet and positive action, using proven techniques, that will lead to success in working at home.

Work At Home

Work At Home

When you think about working at home, what are your initial reasons for becoming self-employed? For me, I feel that being able to be creative, live life on MY terms, and not some bosses are probably the most appealing elements in a work at home business. I realize that people are suffering right now in the job market. They are losing jobs each and every day, and really, there is no end in sight. I feel that working at home right now, would be the perfect thing to learn how to do. Work at home jobs are plentiful, while traditional jobs are dwindling. Any logical thinking person would consider working from home, only IF they believe in the concept, and IF you could tell them that they are certainly not all scams and hype.

My work at home job is certainly paying off. I earn my living from it, and I pursue promoting it each and every day. I know for a fact that my work at home business opportunity will work for others, as it has worked for me for many years. You notice here. I said earn a living? I am sick of those work at home businesses that portray fiction, instead of fact. Most of information that you find on Google about a work at home job are nothing but fantasy. It really makes it difficult for real people to find a real work at home job. I will tell you that it can be done. After being involved in a work at home business for over seven years, I have seen all the businesses come and go. Finding a business model and plan that is stable, and will stand the test time is difficult, if not almost impossible. Most people who promoting work at home businesses will lie, cheat, steal and do all sorts of other bad behavior just to get you into their business. My work at home business is not run that way, and honestly, if it were, I would return to my welding construction business!

ItsGoodBusiness.net is all about teaching, training and mentoring people in the art and science of building a work at home business utilizing the power of Veretekk, and proven techniques and strategies that lead to online success. We are not here to sell you anything. We are here to share good news about working at home, and I trust that you will gain needed information simply by visiting our great website.

ItsGoodBusiness.net is not something that you join. When you request more information, what you are really doing is asking me to contact you, which I surely will do. I will not attempt to sell you on my business, but rather will intelligently talk to you about the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan which implements the powerful SEO Social Networking system called Veretekk. From there, I will introduce you to my business, and you will be able to decide for yourself, if the business is a fit for you.

I repeat, you are NOT joining ItsGoodBusiness.net! You are simply requesting to talk with me about the business plan that works today, and will work far into the future.

SEO Social Networking

In this article, I will provide what I believe to be a good definition of SEO Social Networking. I know that you, my Google reader, are familiar with social networking groups like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and other services, correct? Well a perfect example of SEO Social Networking would be the organization called Veretekk. Within this powerful SEO suite of Google marketing tools, you will find dedicated and motivated work at home entrepreneurs, who come under the guidance and protection of Veretekk, to learn how to effectively promote their businesses. What we mean by SEO, is the art and science of placing sites, blog posts and other live submission services on the net. This results in increased notoriety and presence on Google for their websites. Obviously, without this exposure, websites will not be effective, and eventually the work at home venture will surely fail. SEO Social Networking is the combined effort of like minded individuals who work together in perfect harmony, to drive traffic and visitors to one specific website. This brilliant and systematic approach was founded by Mr. Tom Prendergast. With his leadership and guidance, he has created some extremely powerful and dedicated work at home professionals. Tom is known for his ambition and drive to help the little guy and guy succeed. I am a perfect example of this as some seven years ago, I knew absolutely nothing about marketing on the Internet. Obviously, like many of my readers, I bought and tried every thing I could find on the Internet. Obviously, most of these systems did nothing except extract money from my pocket. Veretekk is different, and for those that will work hard, and remain focused, there simply is no room for failure.

SEO Social Networking is much more than chatting with Facebook friends. It is the focused art and science of using article marketing to capture top positions for highly searched keywords, like work at home, increasing visibility on the net, therefore amplifying the process of making sales in that work at home business. Now, it takes time, effort, diligence and dogged determination to achieve the pinnacle of success as a top position, but I can assured you of one thing, the journey is well worth the effort. My seven year experience in building and developing a work at home business that yields me and my family a nice living, is the ultimate goal that I visualized years ago. The help of Tom Prendergast, Mike Darling and the other wonderful people currently involved in Veretekk have been, and will continue to be a true inspiration for me, and many others as well. SEO Social Networking spells success, as well as safety. In regards to safety and privacy, as you well know, the Internet is full of spammers, hackers, liars, con artists and other unsavory characters. Within the protection of Veretekk, we help others in teaching what to look for in legitimate work at home businesses. We also educate them in how to spot the good ones from the bad. If we do spot a potential problem, Veretekk super warriors can band together, and make their position known on Google. We have the power and the influence to approach this, and have done so on a few occasions. We prefer to be left alone to operate our businesses in a positive and motivated way; however, we absolutely tolerate no unsavory or unacceptable behavior. Like any online business, Veretekk has certainly had more than their fair share of people who believed they would take Veretekk away from us, but the soon found out,that their business and personal views on Google would soon be diminished to their proper place and title.

Within the confines of the most powerful SEO Social Networking system found on Google today, Veretekk simply continues to thrive and prosper. In this current economic time, there is no better time than to become involved with the ITsGoodBusiness.net business plan, and Veretekk as well. ItsGoodBusiness.net encompasses the full impact on the search engines to build stable and long term successful work at home businesses. Our track record of success is unparalleled in this industry, and it is a real pleasure to be able to write and speak these words to others. Not many organizations on the Internet can make the solid claims that Veretekk can. Oh sure, you have the systems out there that talk about their secret sauce to success on the net, but in fact, this is another prime example of what we literally detest in Veretekk. We are professional work at home people that diligently work hard on a daily basis to place our websites, blog posts, press releases and social media groups to the very top of the search engines for quality search terms in which people are looking for that information. The success that we embrace and enjoy as being Veretekk Warriors, could certainly be knows as the top rated SEO Social Networking organization found on Google today. SEO Social Networking improves work at home businesses on Google immeasurably.

Work At Home

Work At Home

Regardless of what anyone will tell you about working at home, the true way to approach this process is search engine optimization. Without exposure on the Internet, the work at home business will simply not produce effective results. The work at home article today will deal with Internet based companies. I will bring to light some rather interesting aspects of these companies, and will add some interesting thoughts on the subject as well.

An Internet company, also known as a dot.com company can be thought of in this way. A dot-com company, or simply a dot.com is a company that does most of its business on the Internet, usually through a website that uses the popular top-level domain, .com.

While the term can refer to present-day companies, it is also used specifically to refer to companies with this business model that came into being during the late 1990s. Many such startups were formed to take advantage of the surplus of venture capital funding. Many were launched with very thin business plans, sometimes with nothing more than an idea and a catchy name. The stated goal was often to get big fast, to capture a majority share of whatever market was being entered. The exit strategy usually included an IPO and a large payoff for the founders. Others were existing companies that re-styled themselves as Internet companies, many of them legally changing their names to incorporate a .com suffix.

With the stock market crash around the year 2000 that ended the dot-com bubble, many failed and failing dot, com companies were referred to punningly as dot.bombs, dot.cons, or dot.gones. Many of the surviving firms dropped the .com suffix from their names.

One interesting thing that I have noticed concerning Internet companies is this. You may see them as powerful super corporations, while in reality, they may only have a small LLC located in a convenient building somewhere in obscurity. I have seen massive buildings in photos on sites that claim to be these ultra modern facilities. Most of these companies are nothing more than outward appearance promoters, and operate mostly by the very seat of their pants. In searching for a true work at home business, one that is stable, and possesses a good reputation on Google, doing your homework, and finding as much information as you possibly can, is the only right way to approach this.

Another quite perplexing issue of work at home businesses is the fact that most of them I have been associated with, hire people to patrol the Internet like a police squad, while in reality, these people know absolutely nothing about how Google approaches websites. My point is this. If you are given a website, or buy one most likely, from an Internet based company, chances are very good that those websites are simply not promotable. Amazingly enough, this is a very simple process to resolve, but almost all of the companies will not offer a good marketing site to their affiliates. I must ask myself, why? If I were the CEO and founder of an Internet company, and decided to let my affiliates market my business for me, then surely I would find quality people to produce my sites, and give them every opportunity in the world for them to become successful, therefore, my business would flourish. This is not the case, as a matter of fact, the opposite is true in many cases. Their Internet police patrol parses through each and every category, and finds the distributors that are listed on Google. If they do not meet with their approval in some way, they are either axed from the business, or given a slap on the wrist for being successful in marketing.

Would you not think that an Internet based work at home company would hire qualified Internet authorities? People that are trained in the art of search engine optimization and search engine marketing? I dare say that it would seem that they hire legal consultants to parse the net. I don't know about your particular feelings here, but for my money, I do the very best I can to stay away from lawyers, in any regard!

Such is the mystery of a work at home business. You might consider that working at home can be fun, profitable and a great and positive experience, or, if you choose the wrong one, it can turn into the worse nightmare of your life. One of the best ways to find out about work at home businesses is to go to the sites, and READ their policies and procedures BEFORE you signup for the business. You will find, written in the small print somewhere, that they can basically do anything to you, at any time and for any reason. If you are going to enter into the work at home world, be sure to arm yourself with thick skin. You will definitely need it!

I choose to work at home for a reason. Even with all the obstacles that we work at homers face, it is still a better way to approach earning a living, than working a dead end job. To learn more about work at home success, click the link below.

SEO Social Networking

Last evening, I conducted a presentation concerning integrating Veretekk, the techniques and strategies of ItsGoodBusiness.net, and how these elements blend together in order to allow me to build a highly successful TriVita business. I became increasingly aware of the whole scheme of SEO Social Networking, and how utterly important it is in regards of building a stable and long lasting professional work at home business. The aspect of SEO Social Networking, is to bring like minded individuals together to learn, and share information and knowledge concerning a particular business. The new shift in Veretekk, states the cause of this to a tee. Integrating Veretekk into any MLM or network marketing company model is absolutely the best thing that anyone can do. I do not state this as an over exaggeration, but only as fact. Veretekk, the most powerful SEO system found on Google today, is certainly worth the time and effort to develop. Will everyone on the Internet see the true essence of Veretekk? Absolutely not. Many will still hold the old fake until you make it syndrome, and will certainly go about their merry way of trying to pitch their latest and greatest deals using websites and the like. The work at home industry suffers because of this mentality, but I suppose you must have bad, with the good of it all. Working at home for me personally, is the only way that I can reach my full creative potential. I am not at all about trying to impress my so called boss, to get a raise. My living comes from my expertise and knowledge to place my products and services before the entire world of Google. How many people say that they actually operate a global business? I indeed can, as my business contacts through SEO Social Networking, range literally around the world. I do not have to leave the comfort of my work at home office, and can communicate quite effectively through my web conferencing room supplied by Veretekk as being a Gold Member.

Veretekk was once thought of only as a lead generation system. It is certainly that, but it is much more. The aspect of SEO Social Networking is precisely what draws me to the system, and to the people who are within this powerful network. Granted, not all people in Veretekk can capture the essence, as I have been able to do over the last six year period, but for people like myself, it is certainly an art form all to itself. I highly commend the work that Tom Prendergast, Mike Darling and the new systems engineer, Mariusz Antonik, are doing to create the perfect environment for a work at home business. While other people around the world are barking their income generating systems, the people in Veretekk are working quietly in the background, and are producing wonderful results by totally embracing the system, the techniques involved, and the leadership as well. Admittedly, Veretekk and the SEO Social Network creates leaders. These leaders are able to then branch out to their individual spheres of influence, and bring more people the good news concerning Veretekk. Of course, not everyone will agree on the statement that Veretekk is the Rolls Royce of Internet Marketing. For those naysayers, I simply say good luck. I wish them well, and I am fully aware that I do not want their involvement with my Veretekk system in the first place. I only look for quality work at home minded individuals, who are willing to learn, work and then have the unique ability to earn a good living from a work at home business model.

I consider Veretekk a work of art. As with any great artistic masterpiece, the system is always changing. The trends in Google are changing, and, as usual, the Veretekk mighty cranking machine is changing as well. With the upcoming new launch of the V2 system, it will literally blow your mind when you consider that the founder, Tom Prendergast, is offering people around the world, in having access to THE most powerful SEO system found on Google today. Eventually, tens of thousands of people will join Veretekk, and begin an amazing journey on the precise way to implement the system in promoting ANY work at home business in existence today. Veretekks leads are fully committed to bringing the good news about SEO Social Networking, and are also here to share their knowledge and expertise in marketing work at home businesses to any, and all interested parties. For my money, the modest cost of $54 and change per month, far outweigh any objections as far as the complete Internet Marketing promoting system are concerned. There are many other systems out on Google today that make exorbitant claims about how successful their supreme system is, but when you begin to systematically look at those systems, most of them are built around free tools that you can find by simply searching on Google to begin with. No where will you be able to find the system tools in Veretekk, at any price by the way.

The ultimate goal in a work from home business is to earn a living. You will notice that I did not say get rich. There are no major network marketing legends out there folks. There may indeed be a few, but by and large, those numbers are simple exaggerations of the weak mind of some would be guru, who simply knows no other way to promote a legitimate work at home business. I shudder when I hear the words, I am making a fortune with my online business, and now, you can too! I know full well that the truth of the matter is that they are probably not making one dime, but again, they are simply faking it until they make it. Personally, I have not taste for this type of ignorant marketing techniques. As I stated before, I am only looking for quality people to spend my quality time with. I am not here to get anyone to join anything that I have, unless they are fully motivated to come and learn the right way to build a success work at home business that will provide them with financial stability in this shaky economic climate that we all face. I know that jobs are at a minimum right how; however, my work at home business simply and quietly grows each and every month. This is precisely due to my work and effort that I place within the might cranking machine called Veretekk. It is available to any, and all, but we are only looking for a few good men and women to use it.

In this work at home article, I trust that you have gained some added insights into the real way that working from home can become a reality for you. If you are looking for content only, then possibly, I have given you a few ideas that you can expand upon. If you view this article, and do not click on the links, then I trust you must be one of the people that are out there, making the claims and pitching your deals. Well, at least I did grab your attention for a moment as you hurriedly go by, surfing and clicking your way trying to find the magic button that will make you rich in a month. In either regard, I will you wellness and prosperity, no matter what work at home business that you are currently promoting.

In the work at home article series last time, I went further into the art and science called search engine optimization. I attempted to tell my Google readers about the importance of promoting websites to top positions on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major search engines of the Internet. I wrote about how to approach this using legitimate means such as article marketing, blog posting, press release writing and submitting live content to search engines on a regular basis. It is truly amazing to watch this process become powerful. If you do a good job at writing your content on a daily basis, you should be able to search particular categories on Google, and find that post or article.

Another interesting way to approach the art and science of putting your information out live is by the use of forums like this one, called The Work at Home Internet Forum. I am able to view the search engines that come and visit this forum regularly. I watch the different posts that the spiders are reading, and find out exactly what they are seeking when they do so. Forums are simply an excellent way to gain recognition and prominence on the Internet. The only way to truly grasp this idea; however, is to actually register for a forum and begin the process.

Here again, the process deals directly with your ability to write content. Everything that you do in promote a work at home business of any sort lies in your ability to convey your thoughts about goods and services in a logical and clear way using the power of the pen, or in this case, the notepad document. In learning and listening to the way that others market businesses online, it is a really disheartening view that I possess when I hear someone write websites claiming instant success in a work at home business. You would be shocked at the amount of bad information that is found on the search engines. This leads to people joining network marketing business, or MLM businesses, and following the same old beaten path of faking it until you make it. With this mindset, it is no wonder that people think that all work at home businesses are scams.

Work at home business should be thought of as professional, creative, intuitive and as an end result, profitable. Those that approach the business model in this manner, will eventually come out a winner. Those who are searching for ways to get rich quick, will surely end in despair, simply because there are no businesses in the work at home genre that will provide this.

Through proven implementation, strategies and business plans, the ItsGoodBusiness.net system, which integrates Veretekk, will provide work at home entrepreneurs with the tools, training, motivation and SEO Social Networking skills that are needed to become a success. Many who enter the portals of Veretekk will not become successful; however, and this is due to that mentality of just spamming 5 million people at one time with your business opportunity, and hoping and praying that someone, somewhere, will get your email and sign up for your latest widget business. Becoming fully aware of strategy in approaching marketing on Google, will lead to success.

How long does it take to become successful in any work at home business. This question will be answered as this. It simply takes as long as it takes. For those who are fully committed to supplying practices on a daily basis, then the rewards will be seen. For those that simply sit, and watch what others do, obviously, nothing will ever happen. Veretekk can immensely intensify the process for those willing to stay the course, and never give up. However, even the power of Veretekk cannot be felt until the work at homer is willing to put forth the effort to add content using the system. I do not care what system that you choose to use, none of them work with no effort.

In the last article, I covered SEO, search engine optimization. My readers may still be just a little confused on the exact process here, so I will delve a little deeper into this mystery, and perhaps will allow them to know more information they can use to promote their online business.

I consider promoting a work at home business a definite art, and a science as well. The artistic side of the coin is the creating articles that Google readers will find live on the Internet. This one thing can amplify success in a work at home business venture more than anything else. There is a definite Catch 22 issue to this art, however. Many people feel they cannot write, will not write, and no matter how much you tell them of the obvious benefits, they will still not listen to the importance of article marketing when it comes to reaching the pinnacle positions of Google. Its a sad but true fact that people will write amazingly long articles in Facebook about their friends and daily activities, but they consider writing as something that only a handful of people can do.

Think of writing to promote a work at home business in this way. Writing is simply conveying thoughts, and putting those thoughts to submission services like blogs, forums, press releases and other social media networks. There is not complicated about this at all, but it is very surprising that very few people feel up to the challenge of writing.

I have trained many people in SEO, and I always share with them to consider that process as the most important thing that they can do. You could literally sit down in front of your pc, pull up a blog that you have started, and write a one or two page paragraph, with your promoting link, and you would now have created something that the search engine spiders like to find. It really is that simple and easy to accomplish.

There is a way to make this process much better, however. You learn to write keyword specific content. Now, what this means is that if you are promoting a work at home business, then the title of your article should be work at home. The more creative that you try to be here, you will definitely land up on a more obscure keyword term on Google.

If you view the articles here, you will take note that most of them are titled Work At Home. What you are seeing here is a focused goal of reaching the top keyword phrase on Google of work at home. The heavily searched keyword has over 2 million searches per month, and I know for a fact, that reaching the top positions here, will lead to an amazing amount of traffic for ItsGoodBusiness.net.

The full intent and purpose of these articles is to offer you benefits and solutions to promoting a work at home business. If you are reading these articles, but taking no proactive steps, such as filling out the contact form, then obviously, there is nothing I can to to help you. If, on the other hand, you do see the need for having an expert in the work at home industry to help you with your marketing, then surely, you could see the value in contacting me. Either way is fine with me. Its totally your choice.

Work at Home

In this series of work at home articles, I have attempted to provide Google readers with excellent information concerning the work at home business on Google. I have covered keywords, domain selection and now will cover the timely area of how to promote a website on Google.

How to Promote a Work At Home Business

The main focus of this article will be the art and science of search engine optimization. According to Wikipedia Search engine optimization or SEO, is the process of improving the visibility of a web site or a web page in search engines via the natural or un-paid organic or algorithmic search results. Other forms of search engine marketing SEM target paid listings. In general, the earlier or higher on the page, and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

The acronym SEO can refer to search engine optimizers, a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term search engine friendly may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.

Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, uses methods such as link farms, keyword stuffing and article spinning that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.

As usual, Wikipedia goes into a more technical and precise definition of words. I like to make this much simpler for my readers so that they can fully understand exactly how the search engine spiders work, and what they need to be doing in order to get listed on the search engines. You must consider very carefully that promoting on Google is an arduous and time consuming task. Most work at home business entrepreneurs are wanting to make money, but few, if any, are willing to go the extra mile in actually learning how to effectively promote a website on the Internet.

The four most important elements in the search engine optimization process are Title, Metatag Description, Keywords and Ad Content. You must harmonize a website first, then approach the search engines with that live site through the use of blogs, press releases, forums and social media, to have your site properly perform, and to receive visitors to said sites.

The problem with this area is that most are simply unwilling to post content. Whether this is due to fear of others reading the content and ridiculing them, or the simply cannot write, which ever the case may be, if you are trying to promote your site properly on Google, there is no way around the fact that you must post content to live submission services to have readers read that site, and be directed over to the site that you are promoting.

Over the years, I have trained, mentored and taught SEO to hundreds of people. Only a handful of these people actually continue to use the information that I have given them. I have literally handed the keys to the kingdom, but they simply will not use that information to their advantage on the search engines. It is not mine to question why, but rather, I question why not? It would seem to me that if someone actually sat down and taught you how to promote your work at home business on Google, and you were attempting to build that work at home business in a logical and legitimate manner, you would be willing to add simple content to promote that business each and every day.

This is precisely what we do in the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan. We teach, mentor and train people in how to approach Google, and how to gain readers and visitors to work at home websites. For more information, simply follow the link below to learn more.

Work at Home

Continuing on from the last work at home article, I think its quite appropriate to bring to light the actual building of a website. Now this process involves some very special techniques and strategies, but when you really understand what a website it, the process becomes much simpler and easier. Turning to Wikipedia, the online resource center of the Internet, the definition is this. A website also spelled Web site; officially styled website by the AP Stylebook is a collection of related web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed relative to a common Uniform Resource Locator URL, often consisting of only the domain name, or the IP address, and the root path. in an Internet Protocol based network. A web site is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network.

A web page is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language. A web page may incorporate elements from other websites with suitable markup anchors.

Web pages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which may optionally employ encryption to provide security and privacy for the user of the web page content. The users application, often a web browser, renders the page content according to its HTML markup instructions onto a display terminal.

All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.

The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a simple Uniform Resource Locator called the homepage. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although hyperlinking between them conveys the readers perceived site structure and guides the readers navigation of the site.

Some websites require a subscription to access some or all of their content. Examples of subscription websites include many business sites, parts of news websites, academic journal websites, gaming websites, message boards, web-based e-mail, social networking websites, websites providing real-time stock market data, and websites providing various other services (e.g. websites offering storing and/or sharing of images, files and so forth).

To make this simpler for my Google reader to understand, I like to use the term content wrapped in an attractive digital style, to adequately describe what a site is. In the last work at home articles, I went into detail about keywords and domains, but now, it will be time to set into motion, the process of constructing the site. For newbie marketers, the process may involve arduous work and effort, and will probably take way too much time and be, more than likely, not seen by anyone at all. Oh sure, there may be some who accidentally run across the site on Google, but unless one is attuned to gaining search engine rankings, the site will be a total loss.

If you are interested, I would lead your attention to the following link. Tom Prendergast, the CEO and Founder of Veretekk, and one of the most proficient and successful website designers and developers today, has written a comprehensive and captivating ebook titled, Better Web Sites. If you want to get great information, and obtain a greater understanding of the entire process of website development and construction, that I heartily recommend this resource.

I consider a site in much more simple way than most tend to do. A website to me is a great and keyword rich article, wrapped in an attractive template of some sort. Most inexperienced web designers will go to the furthest degree to have flash, banners, noise and all types of elements within a site, to attract readers. I am much more basic, and I believe that any reader that I attract is looking for one thing, and that is good information on a keyword term they are searching for. Readability is the key ingredient that I am after, therefore, when I do an excellent job of this, my readers, and my potential clients, will improve dramatically.

The elements of a successful work at home site are title, metatag description, keywords, and ad content. If you do a good job at harmonizing the website with these critical elements, then you will significantly increase your chances of making online sales for some product or service. IF you are not proficient in these areas, then obviously, you will not do well in the process of promoting your work at home business, no matter how great that it is. To offer you a prime example of what I am discussing here, I was called just last evening by a gentleman who wanted to know more information concerning Veretekk, and how he could integrate this system to promote his business. I was not clear exactly what the business was, but I continued offering benefits and solutions as best as I could. He claimed to have access to a huge database of email addresses. He stated that he wanted to find a system that would broadcast all these emails across the entire world, and he just knew that some sales would be made by him accomplishing this. I stated that this type of mentality is what plagues most work at home entrepreneurs. I told him that working at home, and achieving a living from some work at home business would require time, effort, dogged determination to achieve. He stated that he was not willing to spend that kind of time, and would rather broadcast spam emails to people who do not want to receive the information. In his mind, he just knew that this would unlock the key to his success in marketing his work at home business.

With all due respect to the gentleman, I know for a fact that using emails today is very marginal, if effective at all. It is very hard to get an email to someone's inbox that wants the information, much less for someone trying to broadcast their greatest work at home widget business to others. I offered him a free trial of Veretekk, and stated that he could possibly come and begin to learn how to market effectively online, but to this point, he has not signed up for anything. It is the nature of the work at home industry in general, for people to actually believe that its a simple and very quick process to make money online. Folks, dare I say that is definitely is not.

Learning specific techniques and strategies to promote a website to a top position on Google, is the specific art and science called search engine optimization SEO. This process involves great time and effort to learning the details of building an effective work at home business. This is precisely the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk. Theory, integration, implementation and pro activity will lead to success. ItsGoodBusiness.net is precisely the business model that works today, and will work in the future.

I offer these words of wisdom concerning working at home. If you believe that you will get rich here, then probably its best that you do not enter. Work at home jobs are only for the tough minded and diligent. There are far many more dismal failures than successes, primarily due to the lack of education and implementation of basic principles. Without this type of knowledge, and then putting that knowledge to work, the work at home business is simply doomed to fail.

Look for the next work at home article where I will delve deeper into the process of promoting a site to top positions on the Internet, using time tested techniques and strategies.

Continuing article concerning choosing work at home keywords

In the last article, I posted some interesting insights and perspectives into the purpose of learning about keywords on the Internet. This information is intended to guide the reader into knowing a little more about search engine optimization and how the Internet Google spider crawlers view content. Remember back to the original keyword work at home. To refresh your memory, I will add those keywords again below.

work at home business, work at home, work at home opportunities, work at home job, work at home typing, work at home typist, companies work at home, work at home opportunity, work at home businesses, work at home scams, work at home employment, work at home assembly, jobs work at home mothers, work at home mom, work at home careers, clerical work at home, work at home, work at home income, part time work at home, work at home agent, work at home ideas, work at home money, freelance work at home, job at home, earn at home, jobs at home, top work at home, online work at home, work at home programs, Internet work at home, work at home directory, work at home forum, work at home forums, work at home sites, work at home assemble, legit work at home, legitimate work at home, data entry work at home, work at home earn, legit work at home jobs, work at home typing jobs, no fee work at home, legitimate work at home jobs, work at home paid, work at home jobs for moms, work at home telemarketing, working at home jobs, work at home positions, work from home opportunities, scam work at home

Remember this. The entire Internet is built on keywords, ad content and links. So, if you are pursuing more notoriety and presence on Google, then conducting keyword research is the first step to obtaining the necessary knowledge. Getting to the top of actual keyword phrases that people are searching for on a regular basis, is the absolute key to effectively promoting a business on the net. Once one keyword or keyword phrase is selected, its now time to move into purchasing a corresponding domain name.

A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).

Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application specific naming and addressing purposes. They are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users that wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, run web sites, or create other publicly accessible Internet resources. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.

Individual Internet host computers use domain names as host identifiers, or hostnames. Hostnames are the leaf labels in the domain name system usually without further subordinate domain name space. Hostnames appear as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as web sites (e.g., en.wikipedia.org).

Domain names are also used as simple identification labels to indicate ownership or control of a resource. Such examples are the realm identifiers used in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the DomainKeys used to verify DNS domains in e-mail systems, and in many other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

An important purpose of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorizable names to numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet. Such a move usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the corresponding translation of this IP address to and from its domain name.

Domain names are often referred to simply as domains and domain name registrants are frequently referred to as domain owners, although domain name registration with a registrar does not confer any legal ownership of the domain name, only an exclusive right of use.

This article primarily discusses the group of domain names that are offered by domain name registrars for registration by the public. The Domain Name System article discusses the technical facilities and infrastructure of the domain name space and the hostname article deals with specific information about the use of domain names as identifiers of network hosts.

The domain name is another critical element that most people tend to overlook. They often purchase domain names from domain companies like Godaddy. In their quest to appeal to others, they choose domains that are not effective for promoting purposes. A catchy domain is not effective. A keyword specific domain is mandatory for good results in website promoting. You must understand, and then apply this basic information, to begin the process of promoting a website on Google.

This is what we teach in ItsGoodBusiness.net. We are not about exaggerated claims of success, but rather offer real people, real solutions that will help them in the Internet journey for building a successful and profitable work at home business.

Work At Home

Work At Home

In this article, I wanted to provide my Google readers with some interesting information concerning ad content, keywords and links. After all, those three elements are what drives the entire Internet on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet. This article is about linguistic term. For an HTML meta element, see Meta element#The keywords attribute. For keywords in information retrieval, see Index term.

Keywords are the words that are used to reveal the internal structure of an author's reasoning. While they are used primarily for rhetoric, they are also used in a strictly grammatical sense for structural composition, reasoning, and comprehension. Indeed, they are an essential part of any language.

There are many different types of keyword categories including: Conclusion, Continuation, Contrast, Emphasis, Evidence, Illustration and Sequence. Each category serves its own function, as do the keywords inside of a given category.

To make this simpler for my readers, keywords are what people actually type in to find information concerning a particular subject that interest them. Like work at home. This keyword is searched for some 2 million times per month. In thinking about that, if you are marketing a website of some sort, and decide to go after the keyword term work at home, you will have a daunting task in front of you.

Below, find some of the keywords and keyword phrases that people search on the Internet to find out more information.

work at home business, work at home, work at home opportunities, work at home job, work at home typing, work at home typist, companies work at home, work at home opportunity, work at home businesses, work at home scams, work at home employment, work at home assembly, jobs work at home mothers, work at home mom, work at home careers, clerical work at home, work at home, work at home income, part time work at home, work at home agent, work at home ideas, work at home money, freelance work at home, job at home, earn at home, jobs at home, top work at home, online work at home, work at home programs, Internet work at home, work at home directory, work at home forum, work at home forums, work at home sites, work at home assemble, legit work at home, legitimate work at home, data entry work at home, work at home earn, legit work at home jobs, work at home typing jobs, no fee work at home, legitimate work at home jobs, work at home paid, work at home jobs for moms, work at home telemarketing, working at home jobs, work at home positions, work from home opportunities, scam work at home

Keywords are the most important element used in effectively promoting websites on the Internet. Search engine spiders are the software programs that parse through the Internet placing sites on different keyword areas. A Web crawler is a computer program that browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner or in an orderly fashion. Other terms for Web crawlers are ants, automatic indexers, bots, or Web spiders, Web robots, or especially in the FOAF community—Web scutters.

This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many sites, in particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up to date data. Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches. Crawlers can also be used for automating maintenance tasks on a Web site, such as checking links or validating HTML code. Also, crawlers can be used to gather specific types of information from Web pages, such as harvesting e-mail addresses (usually for spam).

A Web crawler is one type of bot, or software agent. In general, it starts with a list of URLs to visit, called the seeds. As the crawler visits these URLs, it identifies all the hyperlinks in the page and adds them to the list of URLs to visit, called the crawl frontier. URLs from the frontier are recursively visited according to a set of policies.

Bringing us back to the original phrase work at home, the search engine spiders of the Internet, parse through billions and billions of sites. Those with titles, metatag descriptions and keywords that deal directly with work at home, will be placed within those keyword categories. The problem with work at home, is the fact that it is such a popularly searched term, that very few sites will ever be seen in that keyword area. Of course, Google Pay Per Click advertising can be used to gain top positions, but the organic positions are very difficult to achieve. Very few, if any people ever see that top position come to light.

The reason for this article is to provide my readers with additional information concerning how the Internet actually works. I am sure that most of you reading this will be in the total darkness of understanding this, but there is an answer for you. This is precisely what we teach in the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan. We are a SEO Social Networking organizations that integrates the powerful Veretekk system to gain vital search positions for work at home websites.

Work at Home

Last evening, the Sunday conference, conducted by Tom Prendergast, the CEO of Veretekk, provided excellent insights and perspectives concerning working at home, and the importance of using Veretekk as the SEO Social Networking tool. After being involved with Veretekk for a number of years, I am now beginning to grasp the absolute importance of having the tools, training, motivation and inspiration, and also the sphere of influence that drives the success of a work at home business. I am also seeing that people are often lost in their own way of attempting to build a successful work at home business, simply because at this point in their career, they simply do not have that type of influence, nor prominence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLIve and the other major search engines of the Internet.

If you are going to try to build a rock solid work at home business, and you simply do not know where to begin, then becoming involved with Veretekk, and the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan, may be the first positive step that you take in obtaining your goals and dreams. I know for a fact, that no other system out there, no matter what the websites tell you, can compete with Veretekk in that precise field of SEO Social Networking. If you are not yet fully aware of what Veretekk really stands for, then you need to come to ItsGoodBusiness.net free presentations on Thursday evening. I will give you a free live presentation concerning the powerful and sophisticated ItsGoodBusiness.net marketing system, and how to integrate Veretekk into literally any business that you may be currently promoting.

The more that I work with Veretekk, the clearer the picture becomes in the overall success of the work at home business. Oh sure, we have people out there that simply call us spammers and hackers, but any time your success is evident, then you will have those types of naysayers. Well to those people, I simply say good luck and farewell. You simply need to go and promote your seamless work at home business like you have been doing before. Hey, why not try marketing to your friends and family? After all, that is what the so-called guru network marketers tell you to do, right? For my money, I am simply NOT going to promote my work at home business to anyone that is not willing to either call me on the phone, or fill out my contact form to learn more information.

Its truly amazing to me that people searching for real business plans and strategies, that even though they may find something interesting, are very hesitant to call, or fill out a form. I find it also amazing that a number of people who DO fill out contact forms, are NEVER contacted by anyone! The ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan will teach, train and mentor you in the hows of becoming successful with a work at home business. We are not about hype, we are about teaching you how to gain top positions, on relevant keyword terms that people are searching for on Google. Bottom line, if you have the greatest site on the Internet, but have no visitors to that site, then what good is it?

This is the essence of work at home jobs. Getting interested people in wanting to learn more about your business! This is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net. This is the purpose of ItsGoodBusiness.net. This is what we hand you! So, is that worth a phone call, or a simple filling out of a contact form? I dare say Yes! When you do decide to fill out our contact form on the ItsGoodBusiness.net site, you will be pleasantly surprised that the only information that you will receive, will be a simple thank you for your interest email.

Work at Home

I was sitting here today, looking around on Google at the work at home category, and it came to me how fortunate I really am to be able to work at home, live life exactly how I wish to do it, and have no restrictions placed on my head by a boss. For my money, this has got to be the ultimate lifestyle. Many people searching for work at home, but often, they become involved with a business that just does not quite cut it, in terms of making enough money to live on. So, off to the day job to earn the living. Their thoughts are always that finding a good business to become involved with must exist, but up to this point, they simply have not found the right one.

I never try to convince anyone to try to join my business. As a matter of fact, I sometimes do not want them to join until they really know what the business is all about. You know, there are so many work at home business opportunities out there, and so many eager marketers, that it can literally be quite confusing on how to begin the process. Working at home is a lot different than having a boss stand over your shoulder. When you work at home, you have total freedom to do exactly as you wish. This is a catch 22 problem. Many are simply not disciplined enough to make the transition from a normal day job, to a work at home job. They may find themselves day dreaming about success with no effort, but in reality, working at home does require major work. You probably have not heard that before, but I am one who will tell the truth about the work at home industry. Work, the simple act of creating forward motion, is the keyword term. There is no escaping the fact that if you are going to become successful in a home business, you will definitely earn your keep. There are articles to write, websites to be created, backliinks to be built, prospects to be talked to on the phone, and host of other elements that you may not be really proficient with.

Its an amazing fact. Most people who are given websites to market do not really go through the sites and see all the features and functions of that site. They believe that simply having a good looking website is all that is needed to become successful. They may even believe that once the site is published, they are ready to make money with their new work at home business. Well folks, if this is what you believe, then I have a message for you. You could spend thousands of dollars on a site, but unless that site is constructed properly, it will be nothing but a worthless piece of digital trash. In other words, no one will visit the site, no one will see the site, and it will simply float around on the world wide web with no exposure at all. So, in essence, that great widget business you just bought into, is totally worthless. Oh sure, you could send your friends and family to the site, and have them marvel at how great it looks, but in reality, they are not going to join your business, and all your thinking, planning and dreaming will simply not work out for you.

Here at ItsGoodBusiness.net we offer solid business plans and implementation strategies that will work today, and in the future for marketing goods and services online. We are not about making you excited about joining our business, but rather offer you benefits and solutions that you can actually put to work in building a good work at home business that will make you a living. Notice, I said living, not rich! Honestly, there are NO businesses out on the search engines today that will make you rich. You may well expect to earn a good living, but get rich? NO way. If you have fallen for the claims of eager marketers in saying how they are getting rich in a month or so, then you will know for an undeniable fact that this is the basic strategy found in the work at home industry. I cannot fathom telling another person that making tens of thousands of dollars per month is the norm in the work at home business field. It is quite the opposite of that. As a matter of fact, I do not care what business you enter into, it will require time, effort, dogged determination and having a never quit attitude, before any money will be made at all. This is where most work at homers lose it. They are simply in a hurry to make money online. Hey, I know this business. I have been down that same road that you may be going down now. I can tell you horror stories of businesses that I bought into because someone I thought I knew and trusted, fed me a big line of BS. I know this sounds familiar, as I have worked with thousands of people over the last seven year period, and almost all of them have these stories.

If you are weary from the struggle of trying to build a work at home business. If you believe that out here somewhere on Google is a work at home business that does work. IF you are willing to come and listen to our business plan. IF you are willing to fill out our contact form so that I can speak directly to you, then you may just have found the beginning of a true business model that will work. I am here ready to talk with you, but unless you make the connection with me in some way, there is simply no way that I can explain the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan.

Work At Home

I conducted a presentation last evening in the Veretekk training room facility. Within this overview, I presented perspectives and details concerning the work at home industry and offered the solutions to said problems as well. The interaction within the attendees was indeed rich and very positive. I look forward to providing more information along the way, and I know that Veretekk is now on a terrific new and exciting path. Up to this point, Veretekk has been known as the lead generation and SEO system. However, we are now moving into an entirely, and more seamless era, called SEO Social Networking.

SEO Social Networking could be thought of as a team effort. In other words, like minded individuals, who are working towards achieving a single goal, are assigned different jobs in the promoting process for a websites. This is called the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan and implementation. ItsGoodBusiness.net is one of the most successful SEO campaigns ever devised for promoting the product TriVita. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is one of the leading health and wellness companies found on Google today. Their products, customer support and their mission statement, are all geared to providing work at home entrepreneurs the necessary elements that they need in order to achieve success.

The goals of people joining TriVita, are much like any other MLM or network marketing company. Work at homers join, and then they believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, many of these people will fail. This failure rate is due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is where the ItsGoodBusiness.net business model steps up to the plate. We are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins our TriVita organization, in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet. Without a doubt, there is no more powerful SEO Social Networking System found on Google today.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to the TriVita business, to assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like Veretekk and ItsGoodBusiness.net can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide.

The powerful new shift in Veretekk, that of allowing leaders of different types of MLM businesses, to train their organizations in the art and science of effective promoting techniques. Not allowing pitching sessions to join their business, but rather allowing them to give presentations concerning the integration of Veretekk to build any business more successfully and seamlessly. When I think of the times that I have been on teleconferencing calls, and heard shouts of excitement and enthusiasm for the new and famous product launch, I really never heard anyone step up to the plate and tell me that they were actually going to bring me into a web conferencing room, and show me how to approach building a successful business model utilizing the power of Google.

The vision that Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling have with Veretekk, is now becoming clearer and more concise on a daily basis. Now, with the new programming engineer, Mariusz Antonik, the system is beginning to live the up to the potential that has always been there, in helping people achieve success and notoriety within the work at home field. I dare say that NO other business model can assist people like the combination of ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk!

I will continue my quest towards the top position on the keyword category on Google called work at home. It is my goal to achieve, and hold that sacred position indefinitely. It will be an interesting task, but with the significant promoting system like Veretekk, that goal will be achieved. Becoming aware that the ItsGoodBusiness.net site is highly appealing, contains excellent information within it, and is very interractive for the Google reader to digest, you will see the actual business plan in motion. I urge you to take time to see what the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan and strategy is really all about. You then, will be able to see that we are the real deal in the work at home industry.

MLM and Network Marketing

Multi-level marketing (MLM), (also called network marketing, direct selling, and referral marketing, is a term that describes a marketing structure used by some companies as part of their overall marketing strategy. The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by compensating promoters of company products not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of other promoters they introduce to the company, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation.

The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.

MLM companies have been a frequent subject of controversy as well as the target of lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price-fixing of products, high initial start-up costs, emphasis on recruitment of lower-tiered salespeople over actual sales, encouraging if not requiring salespeople to purchase and use the company's products, potential exploitation of personal relationships which are used as new sales and recruiting targets, complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation schemes, and cult-like techniques which some groups use to enhance their members' enthusiasm and devotion. Not all MLM companies operate the same way, and MLM groups have persistently denied that their techniques are anything but legitimate business practices.

Independent, unsalaried salespeople of multi-level marketing, referred to as distributors (or associates, independent business owners, dealers, franchise owners, sales consultants, consultants, independent agents, etc.), represent the company that produces the products or provides the services they sell. They are awarded a commission based upon the volume of product sold through their own sales efforts as well as that of their downline organization.

Independent distributors develop their organizations by either building an active customer base, who buy direct from the company, or by recruiting a downline of independent distributors who also build a customer base, thereby expanding the overall organization. Additionally, distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products they purchased from the company at wholesale price.

This arrangement of distributors earning a commission based on the sales of their independent efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts of their downline is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchiser as well as to an area or regional manager. Commissions are paid to multi-level marketing distributors according to the company’s compensation plan. There can be individuals at multiple levels of the structure receiving royalties from a single person's sales.

MLM businesses operate in the United States in all 50 states and in more than 100 other countries, and new businesses may use terms like affiliate marketing or home-based business franchising. However, many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM businesses.

The FTC states Steer clear of multilevel marketing plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors. They're actually illegal pyramid schemes. Why is pyramiding dangerous? Because plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors inevitably collapse when no new distributors can be recruited. And when a plan collapses, most people-except perhaps those at the very top of the pyramid-end up empty-handed. (read more)

Work At Home Businesses Provide Jobs in Dwindling Economy

Work At Home

The Good, Bad and The Ugly

The Bad

I think about creating work at home jobs. The process is amazing and confusing, to say the least. For most, finding a work from home job means this. Someone you know know, like a family member, or friend, calls up on the phone and tells you what a tremendous work at home business they have joined and you just have to see it to believe it. There is excitement in their voice, as they know full well, this is going to be THE ONE that will make you rich, famous and allow you to eventually quit your day job. Without hesitation, you signup from their link, and all of a sudden, you have before you untold wealth just sitting there waiting to take hold of. The whole process only took a couple of minutes, but in those few moments, you said to yourself that this might just work! If it does, your troubles will all be over as the money will begin to flow effortless as water into your life. You have invested money in work at home business that is making others rich, and so why can this not work for you? After all, you are an intelligent business person. You have possibly made money with other offline businesses, so what could possibly be different about coming onto Google and doing exactly the same thing? You have just fallen for the oldest trick in the book. You have not THOUGHT before signing up. You see, you simply do NOT know how to build a business online. You only know that networking to your friends and family is the only way to fly, right? Well, you have just experienced what I call the BAD work at home business mind set.

The Ugly

From the blurb above, this is what I consider to be the bad decision in joining a work at home business. Now, we will get into some more details about the UGLY business of working at home. You get an email from so-called self proclaimed super network marketing legend. In that mail, he tells you how much money he is making, and he can show you how to do exactly the same thing. Maybe today, you are at a weak point in your work at home job, and you are looking for a way to get out of the box trap. So, you follow the link and what do you find? You find banners flashing, testimonials of average people, just like yourself, who are making tens of thousands of dollars by just working at home. The testimonials look good, and after all, no one would like on a website, right? So, you plunge fully ahead, pull out the old plastic, and you are in that new and exciting business program that everyone is raving about. You fell once again for the oldest trick in the book, you got excited thinking about the possibilities, but forgot one simple fact. You just do not know where to go from here. You begin the tedious and demanding process of going on canned teleconferencing calls that are aimed directly at getting you more excited about the business model. You hear these so called legends talking about how they took their business from zero to millions. They will teach you duplication, and how to do exactly what they are doing to make millions of dollars in this simple work at home business. This is THE UGLY!

The Good

You are searching on Google for a work at home business. You are diligent in your approach to this as you sift and sort through the unlimited maze of businesses out there, and all of a sudden, you come across a website that actually makes sense for a change. You hear one of the most powerful network marketers ever known talking about the problems with the MLM and network marketing businesses today. You hear about the difference between excitement and intelligence. You hear about common sense and results, rather than being inundated with foolish facts and figures that are simply lies. You hear that this organization is concerned with offering you real tools, real training and is willing to go the distance with you to teach you exactly how to approach this whole game of Internet marketing. This work at home business model works today, and will work far into the future for precisely one reason, real people, just like yourself, have been taught the art and science of creating wealth from a substantial work at home business.

So, the question is this. Are you looking for a good business? Are you willing to leave all your ego and misconceptions about the process and become educated in the how to of a work at home job? If you are, then simply clicking the link below will open up an entirely new experience for you. You will become educated in the process, strategy, theory and action of a good work at home business.

Work At Home

In the ongoing quest for providing the best information concerning starting a work at home business, I delve deeper into this process so as to unlock some of the mysteries for my Google readers. Is it not amazing to think that anyone has the ability to start a work from home business, learn how to effectively promote that business, and over time, create an income that will sustain them even in tough economic times like we have right now? For me, its a real privilege to possess this knowledge concerning working at home, and quite honestly, I would recommend that business model to anyone seeking a job alternative.

When you consider what working at home really is, it is a way to simplify your life, live according to your terms and enjoy each and every day that has been granted to you. How many people out in the world are hurting, depressed, and basically trapped in a job box? Of course there are no statistics to prove my theory, but I am thinking that most people, at one time or another have agonized over their day job, and yearned for a way out of the maze. Did you know? There is a way out! There is a way out of this worthless and fruitless working each day world, and that answer could just be working at home.

There are numerous ways to work at home. Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working from home (WFH), or working at home (WAH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work typically from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Telework is a broader term, referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work-related travel, thereby eliminating the distance restrictions of telecommuting. All telecommuters are teleworkers but not all teleworkers are telecommuters. A frequently repeated motto is that "work is something you do, not something you travel to". A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation. The terms telecommuting and telework were coined by Jack Nilles in 1973.

These types of jobs are not necessarily what I mean when I say work at home. I am personally not wanting to be tied to any job that does not allow me the flexibility to create and achieve what I wish to achieve on my own merit. Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing using one website to drive traffic to another is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers marketing strategies.

The problems associated with work at home affiliate marketing businesses is the fact that most people who choose to enter into them, are in the dark on the process of advertising, or marketing their greatest work at home business to the rest of the world. They will resort to any underhanded tactics like reverse marketing, cross recruiting from other downline organization, using social networking to peddle their wares to others and many other ways. But, did you know that there are proven strategic business plans that can, and must be implemented in order to achieve notoriety and presence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet?

Work At Home

Today, I created a good YouTube Video titled work at home. I wanted to create an interest from my Google reader that happened to be searching for work at home. I did this for a very specific reason. In the first place, the keyword term is searched over 2 million times each month. This tells me that people are indeed, trying to find information concerning starting a home business, or trying to find a work from home business that is highly publicized to join. Its a fact that people are interested in joining or starting a good rock solid work at home business opportunity. As with anything found on Google, there is somewhat of a catch 22 when it comes to finding good information. Often times, those that spend the most money will be found at the top. So, it may just be that some so-called Internet marketing legend has bought their way to that position. That does NOT mean that the work at home business model is right for everyone. Looking for a good business is a tough road, to say the least. The searcher may come across totally ridiculous terms like get rich quick, make money online, get rich in a home based business and other misleading statements. Let us clarify this right here and now.

There are no quick and easy solutions to a work at home business!

It is about time that all work at home netpreneurs stand and rally around that statement, simply because it is the truth. It is a funny thing about truth. Some people just will not accept the truth as being real. They had rather have visualizations of riches beyond belief, fast cars, beautiful women and everything associated with the so called good life. Work at home advertisers will spare no expense in trying to convince and coerce others into joining their business. You know that there is the statement, "Fake It Until You Make It." Now this sums it all up for me. It simply means those that lie the best, walk away with the prize on the Internet. Well dear reader, I am here to blow your mind and inform you that if you buy into this type of lie, then you probably deserve to get exactly what you ask for!

IF you are reading this article, and expecting to hear exaggerations, lies, hype and misrepresentations of the truth, then you will be sadly disappointed. If, on the ohter hand you are looking for a real business, a work at home business model that has worked well for over three years, a work at home business plan that will assist you in reaching your goals and dreams, then you have definitely come to the right place! There is simply no better time to become involved in a work at home business. The economy is hurting, to say the least. Real people are looking for benefits and solutions to their financial dilemmas. Clicking the link listed below, can be the most imortant move that you have made so far. You will become associated with true work at home business professionals. They are not wealthy, nor rich, but they are one thing.

Financially Free!

Work At Home

If you follow the above link, you will be taken to another site, where work at home articles reign supreme. You see, I am driven to creatively write about my passion, which is simply, working at home. I find no better way to spend my time than writing, and talking with others about the work at home industry. One thing becomes much clearer to me. People want to work at home, they want time freedom, they want to live their lives on their own terms, but honestly, very few of us ever reach that goal. I have to wonder why is this so?

After deciding some seven years ago that I was going to learn how to start a work from home business, I really knew nothing about how to promote effectively on Google. I knew what the Internet was, but really knew nothing about promoting goods and services online. I scoped the gambit and began buying everything that I could find out about how to promote my work at home business effectively on Google. I spent way too much money, and honestly, got nothing for that hard earned cash spent. I am sure that you can equate very well to this story.

I learned really quickly that almost everything you read out on the Internet is simply a lie. If it is not a lie, then its the truth stretched just a little. I learned that spam emails that I received in my inbox telling me about leads, traffic generating systems, making money from a work at home business were basically all lies. Very little truth can be found online folks. Now, this is good news for you. You can learn from me the RIGHT way to begin a successful work at home business. You can learn specific techniques, strategies and systems that offer you great advantages in working from home, that others simply do not know about. You will learn how to save your money, not spend it. You will learn that most of everything that you will need to build a great home business is sitting right in front of you at this time. Your computer, and a notepad document, will be the place to begin your journey. You will learn that after a period of time, you can build your own powerful profile on Google that people can view, and learn who you are and what you do. You will learn that spending money foolishly on Google pay per click advertising, leads and other forms of well known business elements online, is totally unnecessary. Is that not great news for you today?

Work At Home

Work At Home

I guess that you might say that I am drawn to work at home. There are some reasons for this, and I will explain them in a few articles. You are welcome to trace the links back and back, as thin article will eventually come out on the other side and be the perfect Google promoting tool. After having been employed and self-employed, I know for a fact that having a real job is just not for me. I have had the bosses that were jerks, and some good ones as well, but the simple truth of the matter, I hate working for anyone but me and my family. If I did not have and develop a work at home business, I would basically be unemployable, and thank you very much for that indeed! I remember the days of frustration and anxiety and trying to please the man, and I am glad that those days are over for good. Working at home for me is a very natural and pleasurable experience. I can pursue my chosen field of writing content at my hearts desire. If I wish to quit, I simply walk away. So, in essence, you can say that work at home to me is freedom in its essence.

Becoming a work at home professional is time consuming at first. The reason for the failure rate in the home business industry is the fact that almost no one knows what to do, once they have joined that wonderful widget business. This is a sad but true fact folks. You want to know why this is? Well, owners of these super networking legendary make millions of dollars from home simply know nothing about teaching their affiliate how to do it. They may have some so called legend working, but in reality, that person is someone who happens to either know a lot of people, or simply email spams their way to millions of people. In other words, its more or less a numbers game. If you were to ask them how they do it, they would tell you to gather all your friends and family and tell them about your work at home business. If you are like me, that is distasteful, to say the least.

So, what is the secret sauce, if any, that makes a work from home business work? Its really no secret at all. You do your diligence, find a company with a good product, believe in that product and begin the process of telling others about that. There are numerous ways to promote a work at home business, so you must choose the ways that will work for you. You may be comfortable holding meetings or parties. That is ok, but do it all the time and never quit. You may choose a work from home business that requires you to travel to other locations. That is fine as well. You may have a large sphere of influence in another WAH program, and feel comfortable with sharing your information with them, but be aware, most work at home business companies do not like for you to promote anything but their gig. You can literally be shut down very quickly if you are found cross promoting. People generally believe that even though they have a great business, it should just build on its own. Folks, there is NO business that will accomplish that. You are going to have to become very savvy in the art and science of working at home if you stand a chance at becoming successful in this industry. Quite frankly, most will give up after a month or two. They could be right on the verge of a breakthrough, yet decide to throw in the proverbial work at home towel, and jump over to the greener pastures of yet another program that will earn them millions. I talk with people every day that jump from one work from home gig to another, searching for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Well Dorothy, just follow the yellow brick road to perdition, because that is exactly what you will find there.

Many people believe that working from home is a lot like the old envelope stuffing gigs of yesteryear. You remember seeing those ads of making money from your own envelope stuffing business, right? Well, the whole deal was a work at home scam, of which there are many. You must know that almost everything you see and read on the Internet is utter BS. I mean that sincerely. There are no super duper work at home businesses that will make you rich. There are no secret sauce programs that will get your sites listed on Google. There are no software download programs that will cut the effort. Please remember this. Working from home is just like being employed. You must show up every day, and make just a little progress. At the end of that day, you go to bed, and get up and do it all over again. How long does it take for work from home success? As long as it takes! I am not being cynical here folks, only truthful. I have built several large work from home organizations, and the only way that I am able to do this is by working the work at home gig. There is simply no way around this fact, and if you think otherwise, then are a green newbie that is going to lose their socks in that latest and greatest juice business, I personally guarantee it!

The more positive side of working from home is the freedom to choose the way that you wish to live. I answer to no one, have all that I need, do what I want and when I want, and basically I can find no better way to live than that. I hear and read about work from home scams, and I know for a fact that a lot of people that bitch, moan and whine about not making any money from their work at home business, are nothing more than that. Bitching does not get results, working gets results. If they spent as much time writing about their businesses as they write about how they got ripped off, they might have made a few dollars, who knows? Self disciple plays heavily into the art and science of developing a great work from home business project. Most have not the discipline to get and hold a real job, much less approach working from home in a professional manner. Its sad, but its the truth folks. More time is wasted in making non-sensical chit chat on Facebook and Skype, that actual work is done. I look at that, and simply have to laugh as these are the people who are not making money, and wondering why?

Work at Home is a reality for myself, and millions of people around the world. In these days and times of economic unrest, it would seem that people should be looking to find that perfect home business, as the real jobs are fastly coming to a close. Internet jobs last, and will continue to last even in times of economic depression. This should be a very good and positive sign for all the work at homers pursuing the work at home business industry. Frankly, I put my trust in my work at home business way before I trust the politicians and lawyers that run this country. My work from home business is mine, and as long as I follow their guidelines, and work my tail off, I am good to go. Quite possibly you can learn to do that as well.

I am certain without a doubt that work at home businesses work, it depends on your ability as a dedicated work from home entrepreneur to choose to work until you achieve the success that you desire. Without this type of dedication, you are simply doomed to fail. Work at home business failure could be thought of in this manner. Do the work at home business fail you, OR, did you fail the business? If you can honestly answer this question, you may have a chance at eventual success.

Anti-Inflammation

Anti-Inflammation

Inflammation (Latin, inflammare, to set on fire) is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection, the two are not synonymous: infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is one of the responses of the organism to the pathogen.

Without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. Similarly, progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is for that reason that inflammation is normally closely regulated by the body.

Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks synovial joints. The process produces an inflammatory response of the synovium (synovitis) secondary to hyperplasia of synovial cells, excess synovial fluid, and the development of pannus in the synovium. The pathology of the disease process often leads to the destruction of articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can also produce diffuse inflammation in the lungs, pericardium, pleura, and sclera, and also nodular lesions, most common in subcutaneous tissue under the skin. Although the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, autoimmunity plays a pivotal role in both its chronicity and progression.

About 1% of the world's population is afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis, women three times more often than men. Onset is most frequent between the ages of 40 and 50, but people of any age can be affected. It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility. It is diagnosed chiefly on symptoms and signs, but also with blood tests (especially a test called rheumatoid factor) and X-rays. Diagnosis and long-term management are typically performed by a rheumatologist, an expert in the diseases of joints and connective tissues.

Various treatments are available. Non-pharmacological treatment includes physical therapy, orthoses, occupational therapy and nutritional therapy. Analgesia (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory drugs, including steroids, are used to suppress the symptoms, while disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often required to inhibit or halt the underlying immune process and prevent long-term damage. In recent times, the newer group of biologics has increased treatment options.

The name is based on the term "rheumatic fever", an illness which includes joint pain and is derived from the Greek word rheumatos ("flowing"). The suffix oid ("resembling") gives the translation as joint inflammation that resembles rheumatic fever. The first recognized description of rheumatoid arthritis was made in 1800 by Dr Augustin Jacob Landré-Beauvais.

This is a disease most common in old men. While rheumatoid arthritis primarily affects joints, problems involving other organs of the body are known to occur. Extra-articular ("outside the joints") manifestations other than anemia (which is very common) are clinically evident in about 15-25% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. It can be difficult to determine whether disease manifestations are directly caused by the rheumatoid process itself, or from side effects of the medications commonly used to treat it - for example, lung fibrosis from methotrexate or osteoporosis from corticosteroids.

Admittedly, inflammation is a common ailment among people around the globe. Learn More (read more)

TriVita

TriVita Is the Epicenter of Health and Wellness on Google!

Tonight, I wanted to write in a more personalized way concerning the company called the health and wellness company, TriVita. Three years ago, Tom Prendergast, the CEO and Founder of Veretekk, came to me with an idea. It was a brilliant marketing plan where we would promote buying customers, and not buying leads. Now, for anyone involved in network marketing, you all probably know the results of buying leads. It is a fruitless and non-productive way to build any online business, even though the supposed gurus tell us all that this is the way to go. Those leads have been bought and sold thousands of times, no matter what the leads company tells you. There is nothing to the old slogan fresh leads, that is, unless you have personally developed a program yourself, created lead capture pages, and spent time in promoting that site effectively on Google, where people are searching for the product or service they are looking for. Leads, when developed the right way, can be a definite help to an online business; however, there are very few that know how to generate those leads.

Enter TriVita

TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the company that produces fine products for health and wellness. You may be thinking "Oh No, not another health product!" In reality, TriVita products do make a difference in tens of people's lives on a daily basis. All of their exclusive products are produced on site at the Arizona home, and go through rigorous testing from qualified research Doctors and Scientists. They are continually developing new products, and are ever on the move with their infomercials found on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Their diligence in promoting TriVita, and helping their affiliate members is truly unmatched in the network marketing industry. In the backoffice of the TriVita websites, there are amazing contact tools that affiliates can use to promote their individual TriVita businesses. This is the reason that TriVita has enjoyed over 10 successful years in the health and wellness industry, and even in this dwindling economy, they, and we, continue to grow our businesses.

TriVita offers bundle packs of customers for purchase by their affiliate members, who have come to the company from various promotions that are run. These people have purchased products, or signed in to learn more information about the company. Buying these TriVita leads is a very good way for affiliate members to gain a foothold on building a rock solid business. Promoting TriVita is a simple and effective method. Now you may find TriVita affiliate members that will overstep their bounds in promoting, but you will have that kind of nonsense in any online business found on Google. You must take their information, and think, they simply do not know what they are doing in the promoting field. Personally, I would never make claims of health and wealth, but rather be real with people in telling my personal experiences with the company. If someone chooses to join my organization, they can rest assured that it was not of my trying to coerce and lie my way into making money from them. I have never told anyone that joined my team, that they could become rich with TriVita, rather I have been straight forward, and showed them ways to effectively promote their businesses. It is my goal, that these people become a success, as I have been able to do over the last three years. The more successful they are, I in turn, achieve my level of success as well.

Enter ItsGoodBusiness.net

ItsGoodBusiness.net is our choice of the way to market our business successfully on the Internet. The plan involves consistently writing keyword specific information about TriVita in blogs, press releases,forums and of course in websites. This plan works very well, has done so for the last three years running. Information about TriVita, written in the right manner will always be the way to build a successful business online. No one has more consistently used this approach than ItsGoodBusiness.net

Now, we are entering into a new phase of business, and are totally dedicated to growing our TriVita business to an even higher level. If you choose to learn more, we will be announcing new free webinars that anyone may attend. To signup for the notifications simply go to ItsGoodBusiness.net, and fill in your information. We can contact you either by phone or your email, to remind you of the times listed on the calendar. We look forward to seeing you there, and answering your questions concerning what we believe to be the best business plan found on Google today.

TriVita

To pursue wellness, you must find a balance between the physical, emotional, and spiritual areas of your life. And that's just what our 10 Essentials for Health & Wellness can help you do.

We developed these easy-to-follow wellness guidelines to help people everywhere live life to its fullest. Our products will dramatically boost your well-being and put you on the pathway to a purposeful life, but they're just the beginning. Our 10 Essentials will help you complete your wellness journey-and make your life whole.

1. Breathe Deeply – Air is the cornerstone of life. Every moment of every day your body exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen to keep each cell in your body alive and functioning. A rich supply of oxygen can make the difference between feeling tired and stressed and youthful and focused. Take at least five deep breaths from your abdomen several times a day.

Breathe Deeply – The secret to getting enough oxygen is to breathe deeply. Just follow this simple process to maximize your breathing.

Take 8-10 deep breaths in sequence, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Check that your abdomen is rising and falling with each breath.

Complete your breathing routine at least five times a day – choosing times when you feel stressed or tired will give you an instant pick-me-up!

2. Drink Water – Water is essential for everything your body does. In fact, you are more than 70 percent water! Nutrient absorption, blood flow, respiration, elimination, and your ability to see and hear require adequate consumption of pure, clean water. Your body cannot effectively store the water you need throughout the day. Drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

Drink Water – The first key to getting the water you need is to find out how much your body requires. To calculate your personal water requirements:
Divide your weight in pounds by 2. The answer equals the minimum number of ounces of water per day your body needs just to function normally.

3. Sleep Peacefully – Sleep is the only time your body has to repair and rejuvenate every organ and system in your body. Sleep deprivation causes cellular damage, and limits the production of enzymes and hormones your body needs to keep your cells healthy, and prevent premature aging. Sleep also has a powerful impact on your emotional health – it eases stress and helps you cope with the ups and downs of your day. Strive to get eight hours of sleep every night.

Sleep Peacefully – Perform this simple bedroom survey to see if your room is helping or hindering your quest for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Do you need room darkening window coverings to avoid the glare of early morning light?
Does noise from other rooms or outdoors need to be minimized with better insulation or reorganization of your room?
Does your mattress and pillow promote a good night’s sleep or should they be replaced?
Do you feel calm and restful in your room, or do you need to make changes that will make it more soothing?
Do you use your room for more than rest and relaxation – do you need to relocate your computer, television, or other distractions?

4. Eat Nutritiously – Food has a powerful impact on your body. Everyday, food, in large part, determines how you feel and how your body functions. A balanced diet, rich in whole foods, combined with quality nutritional supplements created to meet your specific needs, will give you the energy you need today, and the disease-fighting strength you need to build a healthy future.

Eat Nutritiously – Sometimes eating well can seem complicated – but it doesn’t have to be. Grab a dinner plate and follow these steps to a balanced meal:
Look at your plate – you will only fill the center, undecorated portion.
Divide the plate in half – fill one half with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Divide the remaining half into two equal sections, and place lean meat or fish in one section, and a high-fiber carbohydrate in the other – now you have a balanced meal!

5. Enjoy Activity – Your body was created to move – and move often. Activity increases your circulation, speeding oxygen, nutrients and water to your cells. Your Lymphatic System requires activity to purge your body of deadly toxins. Activity also triggers your brain to release health-giving hormones and enzymes that lift your spirit while they bolster your immune system. A small investment in daily moderate activity will enable you to reap tremendous health benefits.
Enjoy Activity – Make a goal to walk more every day. Walking for just 10 minutes has been shown to have a positive impact on your health.
Park as far from the door as possible.
Take a walking break instead of a coffee break.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Put walking before television or other sedentary activities.

6. Give and Receive Love – As you give and receive love, freely and generously, you will be blessed with meaningful, lifelong relationships and cherished memories that will bring joy in happy times, and strength and peace in difficult times.
Give and Receive Love – Pick out a “Person of the Week” and express your love for them every day – be specific – let them know why you love them.

7. Be Forgiving – By forgiving yourself and others of past and present mistakes, real or perceived, you will gain freedom from negativity and guilt that will strengthen you and those you love.
Be Forgiving – Each day this week before going to bed, make a point to consciously forgive anyone who has offended you.

8. Practice Gratitude – Sincere gratitude will lift and inspire you. Recognizing and appreciating all you have empowers you to find and express true joy.
Practice Gratitude – The simple act of writing down the people, things and blessings you are grateful for will change your life. Create a gratitude journal and make an entry in it every day.

9. Develop Acceptance – When you develop the ability to identify and accept the circumstances in your life you cannot change, yet strive to make positive changes whenever and wherever you can, you will discover lasting peace and hope.
Develop Acceptance – Make a goal to focus on positive changes in yourself and others – avoid dwelling on, or pointing out shortcomings in yourself or others. Celebrate even small successes by those you care about.

10. Develop a Relationship with God – You build a relationship with God in the same way you build a relationship with those around you – through sharing and listening. By offering a simple prayer daily, you will enjoy a sense of well-being you will not experience any other way.
Develop a Relationship with God – Take at least 15 minutes each day to spend in prayer, meditation, and inspirational reading. Make this a time to concentrate on the areas in your life where you most need Divine help. Seek out Divine comfort and direction every day.

You are a complex, unique combination of physical, emotional and spiritual qualities. By discovering and applying the 10 Essentials, you can develop habits and attitudes that will increase your energy and help you get the most out of life. Congratulations on taking your first steps toward vibrant health & energy!

Anti-Inflammation

The term “headache” is used to describe aching or pain that occurs in the head, face, mouth, or neck. It is one of the most common symptoms experienced by people worldwide. In fact, up to 40 percent of people experience at least one severe headache per year. In most cases, these headaches are related to stress or tension (these are known as tension headaches).

Anti-Inflammation

Inflammation and eicosanoids

Inflammation cannot be viewed as a negative thing, but instead should only be thought of as the ideal harmony of the body, in which pro and anti inflammatory eicosanoids (and also gene transcription factors) have been balanced to such an extent that the negative and dangerous attributes of inflammation (silent-inflammation) have been minimized, and the repair and rejuvenation factors of the body at a cellular level maximized, through a balanced diet, through the use of high-dose pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil, through the use of supplement-aided polyphenols, and through moderate and low-intensity exercise.

When balanced, the body will be at a state of maximum wellbeing, but when unbalanced, excess arachidonic acid (AA), the building block of many pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, will appear in the bloodstream, many of which will be sequestered by fat cells, so as to prevent the build-up of arachidonic acid in other cells. However, even though sequestered, arachidonic acid will still start a local production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Eventually these will be over-produced, and they will also generate a cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can leave fat cells and cause body-wide inflammation. What's more, fat cells can start moving around the body and attach themselves to organs and cellular structures, a condition called lipotoxicity, inducing further pro-inflammatory cascades in the body. Fat cells can also be poisoned by excess arachidonic acid (which is toxic at high enough levels), which will make arachidonic acid leak out.

This cycle should be looked as a never-ending circle, a circle which cannot be stopped and yet which can be optimized. In the same way as it is not healthy to minimize the arachidonic acid (the building block of all pro-inflammatory eicosanoids) after a certain extent (marked by the ideal ratio of arachidonic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid), one should not also maximize it (or minimize eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, which through the inhibition of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme, plays a very large part in producing anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, while also inhibiting the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-kappaB and stimulating the anti-inflammatory transcription factor PPAR-gamma). Hence, the anti-inflammation diet is all about moderation and balance. Insulin

Insulin is a hormone that is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas in order to lower blood sugar levels. The glycemic load of the meal determines the extent of insulin secretion. Insulin is essentially a storage hormone that drives macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) into cells for immediate use or long-term storage. High levels of insulin will however activate the delta-5-desaturase enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (the building block of many anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, which however can also be converted into arachidonic acid) into arachidonic acid. The higher the levels of insulin, and the longer they last, the more surplus arachidonic acid the delta-5-desaturase enzyme will produce. Controlling insulin levels is thus of primary importance in order to balance the order of pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and reduce silent-inflammation. The delta-5-desaturase enzyme

The delta-5-desaturase enzyme is activated by insulin and inhibited by eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and glucagon. It plays a key role in inflammation because it will convert dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid into arachidonic acid if activated by insulin, but will be inhibited by EPA and glucagon (which in turn is activated through a moderate intake of protein). Thus, insulin control (not too low and not too high) through a proper diet (that also activates glucagon through the intake of low-fat protein) along with high doses of ultra-refined EPA/DHA concentrate (long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids, or that is, pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil) are very important in promoting wellbeing. Arachidonic acid (AA), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) - the three fatty acids involved in the production of eicosanoids

Only three fatty acids can produce eicosanoids: arachidonic acid (AA), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Arachidonic acid (AA) produces pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) produces anti-inflammatory eicosanoids that accelerate cellular rejuvenation (DGLA is also the precursor of arachidonic acid), and finally eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) produces neutral eicosanoids, although the presence of EPA can inhibit the production of arachidonic acid as well as diluting arachidonic acid concentrations in cell membranes. Through the control of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme, EPA plays a key role in determining to which extent dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid ends up being building blocks of pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids. Thus, its importance cannot be understated, and ultimately, the balance of the building blocks of pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, arachidonic acid and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, can only be dictated by the levels of EPA in a person which are supplemented by a proper diet.

To reduce arachidonic acid, a person needs to increase the levels of EPA in every cell of their body. This is marked by the ratio of AA / EPA, and the lower this ratio (until ideal), the better the person will be, given the diluting effects that eicosapentaenoic acid has on the likelihood that arachidonic acid will produce pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. The AA / EPA ratio is known as the silent-inflammation profile.

However, AA / EPA ratio does not tell the whole story. AA / DGLA ratio is also important, given that it measures the balance of the building blocks of pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids. AA / EPA measures the extent of silent-inflammation in the body while AA / DGLA measures the rejuvenation potential of cells. A person will want both ratios to be ideal. The role of Omega-6 fatty acids and refined carbohydrates in silent-inflammation

Omega-6 fatty acids (that come from vegetable oils such as corn, soy, sunflower and safflower) increase the likelihood of producing more arachidonic acid. Furthermore, the intake of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids that come from fish oils have dramatically decreased. In particular, high levels of EPA are needed to inhibit the activity of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme. These changes in the balance of fatty acids have dramatically increased the production of arachidonic acid, thus increasing silent-inflammation.

Refined carbohydrates (including pasta, pizza, and bread), which are virtually pure glucose, increase the production of insulin, which in turn activates the delta-5-desaturase enzyme that produces even more arachidonic acid, which in turn causes even more silent-inflammation and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance

Insulin resistance occurs when the binding of insulin to insulin receptors that are located in almost all of the cells of the body doesn't result in the correct signal being transmitted to a particular cell. As a result, blood glucose is not taken out of the bloodstream effectively. The pancreas compensates by producing more insulin (hyperinsulinemia) to drive blood glucose by force into its target cell. Generally, the more excess body fat a person has (while noting that some fat may be beneficial), the more insulin resistance the person has, meaning that more insulin will be produced in order to overcome this resistance. This increased insulin level in the bloodstream, when combined with an excess of Omega-6 fatty acids, will lead to excess production of arachidonic acid.

The role of low glycemic-load carbohydrates, protein, and monounsaturated fats, in silent-inflammation

Lowering the glycemic load of each meal reduces insulin secretion, which helps maintain stable blood glucose levels and reduce the activation of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme that converts dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid into arachidonic acid, the building block of all pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Using non-starchy vegetables and some fruits low in glycemic-load as carbohydrates, one will be adding polyphenols that help inhibit the transcription factor NF-kappaB and also free radicals.

Protein stimulates the hormone glucagon from the pancreas. Glucagon in turn stimulates the liver to release stored carbohydrate to help maintain blood sugar levels. As a result, blood sugar levels are further stabilized. Furthermore, glucagon (along with EPA) inhibits the activity of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme that produces arachidonic acid by converting dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid into it. Protein works in a complementary way with low glycemic-load carbohydrates in order to control insulin level - thus, key to the control of insulin (not too low and not too high) and the delta-5-desaturase enzyme is a balanced ratio of the intake of low-fat protein and low glycemic-load carbohydrates.

The replacement of Omega-6 fats (which should be minimized given that any excess will increase the likelihood of producing more arachidonic acid than necessary) and saturated and trans fats (both of which are pro-inflammatory) with monounsaturated fats (one teaspoon per plate of extra-virgin olive oil rich in hydroxytyrosols) chokes off the levels of incoming dietary blocks required for the formation of arachidonic acid.

The secondary role of gene transcription factors NF-kappaB and PPAR-gamma in inflammation

Background

Transcription factors are proteins in the cell that can turn on certain genes and turn off other genes, especially those involved in inflammation.

The two most important transcription factors from a dietary perspective are NF-kappaB (which turns the inflammatory response on) and PPAR-gamma (which can turn the inflammatory response off). The NF-kappaB transcription factor

The innate immune system of the body plays a very important role in activating the NF-kappaB transcription factor. The innate immune system acts as an early warning system to detect microbial invasion by pattern recognition of certain fragments of microbes.

If one of these parts is present and binds to the surface of certain receptors called Toll-like receptors, it sets in motion a complex series of events that leads to an escalation of silent-inflammation to begin the attack phase of a person's inflammatory response.

One of the most studied Toll-like receptors is TLR-4, which binds a certain fragment of bacteria known as lipopolysaccharide or LPS. Once this fragment of bacteria finds its Toll-like receptor, events are set in motion that activate NF-kappaB.

This activated transcription factor then goes into the nucleus of the cells to signal for the increased synthesis of inflammatory proteins. As more of these inflammatory proteins are made, they begin to amplify the inflammatory response needed to attack potential bacterial invaders.

From a dietary perspective, one of the major problems is that one of the components of LPS required for its initial binding to this Toll-like receptor is the saturated fatty acid attached to it. Just adding saturated fats to the external environment of the cell can activate NF-kappaB - thus, diets rich in saturated fats can be inflammatory. On the other hand, long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can inhibit this binding and prevent a dietary activation of the inflammatory response of the innate immune system by saturated fats that would result in increased silent-inflammation. EPA and DHA also inhibit the activation of NF-kappaB itself. Thus, besides affecting the balance of pro and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, adequate intake of EPA and DHA through pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil can also significantly inhibit other molecular components of the inflammatory response, such as Toll-like receptors and NF-KappaB.

Polyphenols are typically found in vegetables and fruits, have anti-inflammatory benefits at high enough concentrations. Polyphenols can significantly reduce the activation of NF-kappaB and hence reduce silent-inflammation. They also play a very large role in reducing excess free radicals, which cause silent-inflammation when in excess.

Reservatrol is a polyphenol that comes from red grapes (red wine). When given to obese rats (at an equivalent dose of three hundred glasses of red wine per day), experiments at Harvard have shown that these rats lived longer in spite of their obesity. This is most likely because the inhibition of NF-kappaB reduces silent-inflammation and thus leads to a longer health span.

Dr. Sears combined polyphenols from a large variety of vegetables and fruits and tested them against fat cells that had been stimulated by tumor necrosis factors (cytokines that can cause cell death), TNF, to activate NF-kappaB. The results indicate that as one increases the concentration of these combined polyphenols, the amount of NF-kappaB that is activated in response to TNF can be dramatically reduced.

The NF-kappaB is also inhibited by salicylates, that are other natural compounds found in vegetables and fruits. The PPAR-gamma transcription factor

The PPAR-gamma transcription factor is able to turn on anti-inflammation, just as NF-kappaB can turn on inflammation.

Once activated, it goes into the DNA to cause the synthesis of anti-inflammatory proteins, such as interleukin-10. Activation of PPAR-gamma in the fat cells also induces the synthesis of the hormone adiponectin that reduces insulin resistance.

However, it also encourages the production of new fat cells. But these new fat cells are healthy and serve a purpose in that they can encapsulate arachidonic acid. On the contrary, when fat cells are not healthy anymore (poisoned by excess arachidonic acid that they have encapsulated), they start leaking arachidonic acid.

Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols have been shown to activate PPAR-gamma[1][2]. The four stages of the Anti-Inflammation Diet

The ideal meal, five times a day

One plate, of which two thirds are covered until over-flowing of non-starchy vegetables and optionally some fruits low in the glycemic index, one third of low-fat protein meat such as chicken breast, fish, extra-lean cut of beef (while giving preference to meats with minimal amounts of saturated fats) or tofu and soy alternatives for vegetarians, which is no bigger and no thicker than the palm of a hand (typically 3 ounces for females and 4 ounces for males), and finally, a dash (one teaspoon) of extra-virgin olive oil that is especially rich in hydroxytyrosol (and thus, which should ideally come from Italy or Greece). Basically, an improved version of a healthy mediterranean diet.

This is the ideal plate and meal of the anti-inflammation diet. Eat 3 plates daily along with two mini (desert-sized) plates as snacks. Thus, 5 meals that will be balanced enough and eaten closely enough (no more than 5 hours between meals) so that appropriate hormonal response and a benign balance of relevant gene transcription factors can be initialized by keeping insulin under control (which activates the delta-5-desaturase enzyme), stimulating the production of glucagon through the intake of low-fat protein (which stabilizes blood sugar levels and also reduces the activation of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme), and positively affecting the balance of the gene transcription factors through the intake of polyphenols from non-starchy vegetables and fruits low in glycemic-load. The uncooked extra-virgin olive oil serves as a healthy oil replacement due to hydroxytyrosols (an antioxidant phytochemical that has anti-inflammatory properties when taken in moderate amounts).

Even though the calculated amounts of protein and carbohydrates are not exact, what is important is to maintain a sense of overall balance to the meal. Hence, two thirds of the plate being full of non-starchy vegetables, and the remaining one third of the plate being composed of a low-fat meat that is no bigger and no thicker than the palm of your hand, is going to be good enough and ideal.

Pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil

The importance of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil

High-dose pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil, composed of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), has the power to reduce levels of arachidonic acid (AA), the building block of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, while simulteneously increasing the levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the enabler of the building blocks of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, through its role in diluting arachidonic acid in the cell membranes and inhibiting the activity of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme, that when activated will convert dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid into arachidonic acid, playing thus a role into how much dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid is converted into anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and how much into arachidonic acid, which in turn produces pro-inflammatory eicosanoids.

It is also able to inhibit the activity of the NF-kappaB gene transcription factor, which is pro-inflammatory and which induces silent-inflammation, and is also able to activate the anti-inflammatory gene transcription factor PPAR-Gamma.

It has no side-effects, and can be considered as the most important supplement a person can get.

Dr. Sears is thought to have pioneered the Fish oil market (enabled by advances in manufacturing technology) by releasing the book Omega Rx Zone (which was originally published in 2002). The term "pharmaceutical-grade" and the International Fish Oil Standards program

The term pharmaceutical refers to continuous batches of Omega-3 Fish oils that have been sent to the wholly independent International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program that is run by the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, for testing for purity (along with oxidation levels) and toxicity, and that have each scored a perfect rating of 5 stars.

By going to the website address of IFOS, one will be able to ascertain manufacturers whose batches have received a perfect score. One needs to make sure though that the manufacturers that they want to buy from are sending each and every batch for testing to the IFOS. Guidelines for pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil to follow

Every batch is sent to IFOS for testing, each scoring a perfect rating of 5 stars.

Ideal ratio of EPA to DHA (2:1), based on studies done by Dr. Sears and others. If using a different ratio, a detailed explanation based on studies is required. Omapure, for example, another manufacturer of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil, uses a different ratio.

Effectiveness of anti-oxidant formula, measured and tested by IFOS independently (currently not done). Omega-3 Fish oil is especially prone to oxidation and damage[3] when compared to vegetable oil, which makes the effectiveness of the anti-oxidant formula used for the Omega-3 Fish oil especially important, as long as it doesn't hinder the effectiveness of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Sears agrees that oxidation, both in the bottle and internally, can pose a serious threat. He has conducted a private analysis of the liquid form of OmegaRx (which could potentially be more prone to oxidation than the capsule alternative) under regular usage conditions for up to 45 days, the suggested servings per bottle. The test results showed very low levels of oxidation if the bottle was kept in the freezer (which is the recommended storage medium for the liquid form of OmegaRx) after each use.

Requirements for EPA/DHA dosage

The requirements for EPA/DHA dosage vary with the degree of silent-inflammation (which can be dictated by the AA/EPA profile, also called the silent-inflammation profile). In the case of OmegaRx, where one serving (or one 5ml teaspoon) of the liquid form of OmegaRx contains 2.7g of EPA/DHA concentrate, the requirements are as follow:

To maintain wellness, 2.5 g/day

For overweight, obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or before starting a diet, 5 g/day

For chronic pain, 7.5 g/day

For existing neurological conditions, 10 g/day

It has been suggested that the liquid form of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil may be more easily digested (or at the very least its rate of absorption is quicker) by the body than the capsule form.

It should be taken after a normal meal, so as to enhance its absorption.

Sesamol and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid

EicoRx made by Dr. Sears contains a special formula that is composed of sesamol (which is derived from toasted sesame oil) and gamma-linolenic acid. Gamma-linolenic acid is the precursor of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, which in turn increases the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids. The problem stems from the fact that gamma-linolenic acid contains a spillover effect, whereby excess gamma-linolenic acid, even with additional supplemented EPA to block the delta-5-desaturase enzyme that in turn would otherwise continue to convert dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid into arachidonic acid, will produce a surplus of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid. Depending on the person's genetics and diet, more of this surplus of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid will get converted into arachidonic acid, hence increasing the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, and thus, silent-inflammation.

Due to the person's genetics and diet, the amount of gamma-linolenic acid needs to be fine-tuned on an individual basis in order for the benefits of gamma-linolenic-acid to come through.

However, Dr. Sears discovered that sesamol, a breakdown product of sesame lignans, and derived when the seeds are toasted before the extraction of the oil, is a more powerful inhibitor of the delta-5-desaturase enzyme than EPA. This meant that mixing specific amounts of sesamol with gamma-linolenic-acid would decrease the risk of the spillover effect, making it possible for the resulting pharmaceuticaul-grade Fish oil to further increase the body's internal cellular rejuventation potential.

However, Dr. Sears has also discovered that the sesamol was also activating the transcription factor PPAR-alpha, that caused an over-expression of the enzymes involved in the beta oxidation of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. The result was a reduction of the benefits of the Omega-3 fatty acids, not an enhancement. In short, EicoRx is not performing up to its potential, and can be said to be inferior to OmegaRx.

Because of this, EicoRx will be sesamol free by the end of September 2010, and will only contain a minimal amount of gamma-linolenic-acid. Dr. Sears has suggested that if the person is interested, to take a 75:25 ratio of OmegaRx to EicoRx, and to fine-tune this ratio based on the Eicosanoid Status Report[4], which can be subject to placebo effect. Taking a balanced ratio of OmegaRx to EicoRx can be a good idea, given its goal of increasing the levels of DGLA while inhibiting AA, but only if a more scientific method for fine-tuning this ratio on an individual basis can be found.

It is thus suggested, all-in-all, that a person take the liquid form of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil. Pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil versus Flaxseed oil

Pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil is also superior to Flaxseed oil, and that is because the short-chain Omega-3 fatty acids in Flaxseed oil are very poorly converted to the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acid required (EPA and DHA) and that gives pharmaceutical-grade Fish oil its benefits. In short, pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil contains a much higher concentration of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids per dosage than other alternatives such as Flaxseed oil.

Supplement-aided Polyphenols Background

Polyphenols are compounds that are typically found in vegetables and fruits, and have anti-inflammatory benefits at high enough concentrations, through the inhibition of the NF-kappaB transcription factor, through the reduction of excess free radicals, and through the activation of the PPAR-gamma transcription factor.

Free radicals

Free radicals can be likened to sparks that can ignite arachidonic acids into profound inflammation. One needs enough antioxidants to reduce these sparks, but one also needs a minimal level of free radicals in order to convert food into energy and to destroy invading microbes. Antioxidants work together in three groups, and if one group is missing, free radicals are not going to be reduced as well as possible.

The most likely points of attack for excess free radicals are the essential fatty acids in the membranes. The objective is to neutralize such oxidized lipids and to remove the source of oxidation from the body. These require three different types of antioxidants: fat-soluble, surface-active, and water-soluble.

Antioxidants work in groups and the last group are the water-soluble antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, that carry stabilized free radicals so that they can be broken down into inert compounds and excreted from the body.

The middle-members of the team are the surface-active antioxidants, or the phytochemicals known as polyphenols. Because of them, free radicals are shuttled from fat-soluble antioxidants to water-soluble antioxidants. They are thus the key to reducing excess free radical levels regardless of other antioxidants in the body. The use of supplement-aided polyphenols to inhibit NF-kappaB and activate PPAR-gamma

Because of the primary foundation of the anti-inflammation diet, a person is able to get a good portion of polyphenols.

These however can be further increased through the use of supplement-aided polyphenols, and supplement-aided polyphenols that increase anti-inflammatory effectiveness are thus key to the third stage. Supplement-aided liquid polyphenols should also be able to emulsify the liquid form of pharmaceutical-grade Fish oil and make it be better absorbed when taken synergistically together. Such a supplement-aided polyphenol is Seahealth Plus, made by Dr. Sears. Laboratory testing has demonstrated that the aloe vera and sea vegetables inside Seahealth Plus reduce the particle size of the fatty acids, thus enhancing their absorption.

It is suggested to take the liquid form of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil along with Seahealth Plus (or any other equivalent supplement of polyphenols) after a normal anti-inflammation meal (first stage of the anti-inflammation diet), so as to make their absorption by the body as ideal as possible.

Exercise

Moderate, steady, and low-intensity exercise is all that is required. When thinking of exercise, one needs to think of what exercise is actually doing. Moderate, low-intensity exercise alleviates insulin resistance, which in turn helps reduce compromised fat that can collect on vital organs (lipotoxicity) and that can trigger the over-production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and in turn cytokines.

Moderate, steady, and low-intensity exercise can also induce anti-inflammatory response and reduce stress (another component of inflammation).

However, on the other side, any type of exercise will cause some inflammation. The key is thus to minimize the negative effects of inflammation while maximizing the positive ones, by doing moderate, low-intensity exercise, such as cycling at a very moderate and steady pace, or walking, for twenty minutes a day.

The anti-inflammation diet has a 80/20 effectiveness ratio, meaning that 80% of its effectiveness comes from the first three stages, and the last 20% from moderate, steady, and low-intensity excercise.

Please consult with your doctor before taking aspirin. Only take low-dose baby aspirin combined with high-dose pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil with your doctor's approval.

Aspirin has been shown to cause death by internal bleeding. It is not known whether low-dose (40mg) baby aspirin significantly reduces this risk. Please proceed with caution, and only with your doctor's consent.

Low-dose aspirin has been shown to trigger the production of one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory eicosanoids ever known, epi-lipoxins. When combined with pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil, another group of powerful anti-inflammatory eicosanoids called resolvins are produced. It has also been thought that aspirin reduces the levels of inflammation inside unstable plaques (thus reducing the risk of them rapturing) by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids inside of them. It is also thought that aspirin reduces the production of eicosanoids such as thromboxane A2, which sets into motion the aggregation of platelets leading to a clot.

The benefits shown have been limited to low-doses of aspirin. The higher the doses, the less epi-lipoxins that are made. Thus, acknowledging that this combination needs to be subjected to your doctor's approval, an ideal ratio could be of 40mg of aspirin (low-dose baby aspirin - about 1/2 a typical 80mg baby aspirin) to the liquid form of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil (5g of EPA and DHA), along with two tablespoons of supplement-aided polyphenols with emulsifying effects (such as Seahealth Plus) for added polyphenols and emulsifying effects (through the use of Aloe vera and sea vegetables, that emulsify pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 Fish oil and which are part of the ingredients of Seahealth Plus), to be taken after a normal anti-inflammation meal (first stage), for improved bioavailability.

Anti-Inflammation

Anti-inflammatory medications are commonly taken to treat conditions caused by inflammation such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis, gout, fever or menstrual cramps. These medications reduce chemical signals that cause pain and inflammation in the body, specifically at the injured area. Drug stores provide a variety of anti-inflammatory medications that a patient can choose from. To make the best choice, he must understand the risks and benefits of taking each one.

Naproxen

Naproxen, or Aleve, is a common over-the-counter (OTC) medication that a patient can choose to treat her particular condition. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can reduce inflammation that a particular condition causes. In particular, naproxen, among other steroids, is recommended for chronic low back pain, states the Cochrane Review. Although effective in treating inflammatory conditions, naproxen may cause serious side effects. This medication can increase the risk of stomach bleeding or increase the risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems. These side effects typically occur in patients with existing problems or in those that chronically use naproxen. A patient should suspect stomach bleeding if she notices bloody vomit, bloody stools, stomach pain or nausea. Symptoms of heart or circulation problems include chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speed or vision problems.

Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen, or Advil, is a common medication used to treat inflammation. In July 2008, the European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology reported that ibuprofen was associated with better pain scale scores in 30 percent more patients than acetaminophen. Patients taking ibuprofen stated that pain interfered less with daily activities than those receiving acetaminophen. Ibuprofen is an NSAID that shares the same side effects as naproxen and other NSAIDs. Thus, a patient should seek immediate medical treatment is he experiences serious side effects. Aspirin

Aspirin is also considered one of the best OTC medications that a patient can take for pain relief. Specifically, the Journal of Neurology reports that aspirin is particularly effective in treating migraine headaches. In this study, aspirin was as effective as typical migraine medications and offered fewer side effects. Although effective for migraines, aspirin can also be used to treat other inflammatory conditions that may cause pain. Of note, aspirin inhibits platelets, which can result in long-term blood-thinning. Thus, a patient with a cut, bruise or other injury from trauma should seek emergency medical treatment to make sure that bleeding is adequately controlled. (read more)

Anti-Inflammation

There is no one anti-inflammatory diet, rather, there are diets designed around foods that are believed to decrease inflammation and which shun foods that aggravate the inflammatory processes. Many anti-inflammatory diets are based around whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables and fruits, wild fish and seafood, grass-fed lean turkey and chicken which are thought to aid in the bodies healing of inflammation. They exclude foods that are thought to trigger inflammation such as refined grains, wheat, corn, full-fat dairy, red meat, caffeine, alcohol, peanuts, sugar, saturated and trans-saturated fats.

The common foundation of anti-inflammatory diets is the belief that low grades of inflammation are the precursor and/or antagonizer to many chronic diseases. Once removed, the body can begin healing itself.

Beginning in the 1970s investigators began exploring physiological mechanisms of fever, weight loss, and acute phase responses to acute and chronic infection. Research results from these studies began to change the mainstream attitudes about disease pathogenesis. Accumulating evidence linked proteins, produced by macrophages and other immune cells, not pathogens, as formerly believed, to the cause of tissue damage and disease syndromes in experimental animals. Thus the medical profession began looking into original treatments for chronic diseases. Then in the 1980s, research showed that proteins, newly named cytokines, and hormone-like substances, named prostaglandins and leukotrienes, revealed that they possessed pleiotropic biological activities that were either beneficial or injurious to the bodies’ tissues.

From this research emerged the cytokine theory of disease. The concept that cytokines produced by the immune system, can cause the signs, symptoms, and damaging after effects of chronic diseases. Change did not occur until the measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation circulating in the blood, was proposed as a method to identify persons at risk of chronic diseases. As pioneering research began to show that higher levels of C-reactive protein was linked to heart disease, conventional thought among the medical profession began. Originally discovered by W. S. Tillett and T. Francis Jr. in 1930, C-reactive protein was discovered as a substance in the serum of patients diagnosed with acute inflammation that reacted with the C-polysaccharide of pneumoccocus.

Today, a growing consensus among medical professionals is that inflammation is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and colon cancer to name a few. Mainstream thinking is beginning to accept that treating the underlying cause may ameliorate cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, inflammation caused by visceral adipose tissue.

Inflammation is a localized reaction of tissue to injury, whether caused by bacteria or viral infection, trauma, chemicals, heat or other phenomenon that. KEY TERMS

Inflammation: Swelling, redness, heat, and pain produced in an area of the body as a reaction to injury or infection.

Chronic disease:—an illness or medical condition that lasts over a long period of time and sometimes causes a long-term change in the body.

C-reactive protein (CRP):—a marker of inflammation circulating in the blood has been proposed as a method to identify persons at risk of these diseases.

Flavonoid: refers to compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and certain beverages that have diverse beneficial biochemical and antioxidant effects.

Anti-oxidant: A chemical compound or substance that inhibits oxidation. A substance, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, or beta-carotene.

The irritation causes the tissues within the body to release multiple substances that cause changes within the tissues. This complex response is called inflammation. Inflammation is characterized by such symptoms that include (1) vasodilatation of the local blood vessels resulting in excess local blood flow, (2) increases in the permeability of the capillaries with leakage of large quantities of fluid into the interstitial spaces, (3) May include clotting of the fluid in the interstitial spaces due to excess amounts of fibrinogen and other proteins leaking from the capillaries, (4) relocation of granulocytes and monocytes into the tissue in large quantities, thus (5) swelling of the tissue cells.

The common substances released from the tissues that result in inflammation are histamine, bradykinin, serotonin, prostaglandins, multiple hormonal substances called lymphokines that are released by sensitized T-cells and various other reaction products of other systems within the body. Many of these substances activate the macrophage system, which are sent out to dispose of the damaged tissue but also which further injure the still-living tissue and cells.

General anti-inflammatory medical treatments include relaxation, moderate exercise such as walking, weight maintenance or loss, and medications designed to reduce the inflammation and control the pain if present.

These medications may include: ibuprofen or aspirin, Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), or steroid medications. The NSAIDs are widely used as the initial form of therapy. Unfortunately, long-term use of these medications can irritate the stomach and lead to ulcers. And in some cases can lead to kidney, as well as other medical problems.

Registered dietitians, and Naturopathic physicians often prescribe diets to lessen the inflammatory symptoms of diseases. Although these diets have not been compared to other treatments in many formal research settings to date, it is thought that anti-inflammatory diets result in a reduced amount of inflammation and a healthier response by the immune system.

Adding foods that reduce inflammation is thought to improve symptoms of chronic diseases and help decrease risk for chronic diseases. These foods help in supplying the nutrients that are needed to decrease inflammation. One example is omega-3 fatty acids. The human body uses these fats to manufacture prostaglandins, chemicals that play an important role in inflammation and a healthy immune response. Another beneficial component of fish oil that plays an important role is eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an essential fatty acid derived from omega-3 fatty acids. EPA promotes the production of certain forms of prostaglandins having anti-inflammatory properties by reducing inflammation and decreasing the production of inflammatory substances.

Whole grains

Whole grains or foods made from them, whether cracked, crushed, rolled, extruded, and/or cooked, contain the essential parts and nutrients of the entire grain seed. Research has shown that diets high in whole grain products are associated with decreased concentrations of inflammatory markers and increased adiponectin levels. The protective effects of a diet highin whole grains on systemic inflammation may be explained, in part, by reduction in overproduction of oxidative stress that results in inflammation.

A whole grain will include the following parts of the grain kernel–the bran, germ and endosperm. Such whole grains are amaranth, barley, bulgur, wild rice, millet, oats, quinoa, rye, spelt, wheat berries, buckwheat, and whole wheat.

Legumes

Diets high in legumes are inversely related to plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP). Among the many varieties of legumes are; pinto beans, lentils, kidney beans, borlotti beans, mung beans, soybeans, cannelloni beans, garbanzo or chickpeas, adzuki beans, fava beans, and black beans. Nuts, seeds

Nuts and seeds are rich in unsaturated fat and other nutrients that may reduce inflammation. Frequent nut consumption is associated with lower levels of inflammatory markers. This may explain why there is a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes with frequent nut and seed consumption. With the exception of peanuts, be sure to add in walnuts, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. Nuts and seeds are best eaten when unsalted and raw. Fresh vegetabless

Green leafy vegetables, and brightly colored vegetables provide beta-carotene; vitamin C and other antioxidants have been shown to reduce cell damage and to have anti-inflammatory effects. Aim for 3 or more servings per day. Fresh fruits

Flavonoids found in fresh fruits among other substances are thought to increase the antioxidant effects of vitamin C. research has shown that fruits have an anti-inflammatory effect. Aim for two or more servings daily. Be sure to include berries in your weekly choices of fruits such as blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Wildfish and seafood

Oily fish such as Herring, Mackerel, Salmon and Trout are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, as are shellfish such as mussels and clams. Including fish or seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids at least three times a week is recommended. Lean poultry

Protein is used in the body to repair and manufacture cells, make antibodies, enzymes and hormones. Lean protein has been associated with lower levels of inflammatory biomarkers.

When choosing poultry, choose grass-fed animals, which tend to have a higher amount of essential fatty acids. Select poultry with limited amounts of, or free of, preservatives, sodium, nitrates or coloring. Also, in an ideal diet, only 10-12% of daily calories should come from protein. On average, an adult needs 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Soy products

Anti-inflammatory properties of the isoflavones, a micronutrient component of soy, have been reported in several experimental models and disease conditions. Data suggests the possibility of beneficial effects of isoflavone-rich soy foods when added to the diet. Soy products include; soybeans, edema me, tofu, tempeh, soymilk, as well as many other products made from soybeans. Oils

Expeller pressed Canola oil and Extra Virgin Olive oil are types of oils that have been linked to reduced inflammation. Other oils thought to aid in reducing inflammation include rice bran, grape seed, evening primrose and walnut oil. It is suggested to use these oils in moderation when cooking, baking and flavoring of foods. Also, when purchasing oils, make sure they are pure oils rather than blended oils. Blended oil usually contains less healthful oils. Water in the form offresh drinking water free of toxic chemicals

Water is an essential substance for every function of the body. It is a medium for chemical processes; a solvent for body wastes and dilutes their toxicity and aids in their excretion. Water aids in ingestion, absorption and transport of vital nutrients that have anti-inflammatory effects. Water is also needed for basic cell functioning, repairing of body tissues and is the base of all blood and fluid secretions.

Herbs and Spices

A greater amount of research is emerging on the antioxidant properties of herbs and spices and their use in the management of chronic inflammation. Herbs and spices can be used in recipes to partially or wholly replace less desirable ingredients such as salt, sugar and added saturated fat, know for theirinflammatory effects, thus reducing the damaging properties of these foods.

Foods that irritate inflammation

Best referred to in research articles as ‘the western dietary pattern’, it credits a diet that is high in refined grains, red meat, butter, processed meats, high-fat dairy, sweets and desserts, pizza, potato, eggs, hydrogenated fats, and soft drinks. This pattern of eating is positively related to an increase in circulating blood CRP levels and higher risks for chronic diseases, obesity and cancers. These foods, termed ‘pro-inflammatory’ may increase inflammation, thus increasing a persons risk for chronic diseases as well as exacerbate symptoms from these chronic conditions.

There is some support for the belief that food sensitivities or allergens to foods may be a trigger for inflammation. Often hard to detect with common blood tests, some people have seen alleviation of symptoms of chronic diseases, such as arthritis, when the aggravating foods are removed from their diet. Common allergic foods are milk and dairy, wheat, corn, eggs, beef, yeast and soy.

Other pro-inflammatory foods have been shown to have substances that activate or support the inflammatory process. Unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats used in preparing and processing certain foods are linked to increased inflammation. Processed meats such as lunchmeats, hot dogs and sausages contain chemicals such as nitrites that are associated with increased inflammation and chronic disease.

Saturated fats naturally found in meats, dairy products and eggs contain fatty acids called arachidonic acid. While some arachidonic acid is essential for health, excess arachidonic acid in the diet has been shown to worsen inflammation.

Research supports that diets high in sugar produce acute oxidative stress within the cells, associating it with inflammation. Elimination of high sugar foods such as sodas, soft drinks, pastries, presweetened cereals and candy has been shown to be beneficial. As well as switching from refined grains to whole grains.

Anti-Inflammation

Anti-Inflammation

One of the painful disease and is often reduced her pain with drugs is a disease Arthritis. Today’s arthritis is already a very common disease and epidemic. I realize if you talk to arthritis, there are more than a hundred types of arthritis where the cause of disease vary and the cause is different. Only one person is the same that is going to feel the pain that is sometimes very extraordinary. And some are more acute levels, resulting in certain parts of the body can not function anymore.

If we hear the word “itis” means inflammation of the disease involves problems such as arthritis, ie Arthritis, Inflammation in the Colon (Colitis), inflammation of the lungs (bronchitis), inflammation of the sinuses (sinusitis), and no more disease involving inflammation but slightly different name is eczema, which is inflammation of the skin, ashma, inflammation of the respiratory tract, and others. At first when inflammation occurs, it signifies that the body is responding to these issues and try to solve it, and that’s the way the body cope with such infections. There is also a joke about those "itis boys" being the worst bullies on the block!

Sometimes when the body can overcome the source / cause of the inflammation but also inflammation itself is not lost, then the use of drugs for the short term can accelerate the healing process. However, if the root cause of the inflammation can not be overcome and we use anti-inflammatory drugs, then we can be fooled and ignored the source of the disease. The point we feel that we’ve recovered, it does not feel pain anymore, because these drugs are covered and therefore the real problem It can be very dangerous. Actually, why the body can feel pain? Pain that is felt by our bodies is triggered by certain chemicals called inflammatory mediators, these chemical elements produced by the body to respond to tissue damage.

If pain and inflammation is prolonged, then this tissue will be damaged, in cases of arthritis, joints become hard and stiff, over time these parts can not be used again. How anti-inflammatory drugs work? In general, the workings of these drugs is to block the inflammatory chemical / chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. For example, the drug category of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which in Indonesia is called non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), work by stopping the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are made of omega-6 derivative, called arachidonic acid (found in many meat and dairy). And to note, prostaglandin called PGE2 which is what causes pain.

More specifically, the crucial enzyme that makes prostaglandins PGE2, which will be blocked, there are two types of this enzyme, called cyclooxygenase) COX-1 and COX-2. It works by blocking one of the elements, such as the COX enzyme is absolutely no safe way out. As is known, the chemical processes in the body is very complex, and by blocking one of the aspects of chemistry, will surely cause a chain effect of other, that’s why all the drugs without exception almost certainly have harmful side effects.

More detailed painkiller side effects? Let’s take the example of conventional medicine is very popular aspirin. This drug will inhibit the enzyme COX-1 and COX-2 which in turn is very efficacious in eliminate pain. Actually not that simple things, more deeply we will see, that COX-1 enzyme can be categorized as good, because it also serves to protect the intestinal lining and kidneys, it causes coagulation / blood clotting normally. So if COX-1 is inhibited, the pain disappears, the blood will not be condensed, but the intestine is damaged. COX-2 enzyme that is evil, because the enzyme that causes the pain we feel. And if COX-2 was inhibited, pain will be reduced, but coagulation / blood clotting will increase. Drugs such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen can not distinguish them, and attacked the two enzymes COX-1 and COX-2 is. Consequently, the increased risk of bleeding in the stomach / gastrointestinal, and long-term negative effects for the liver and kidneys.

Another negative effect is rarely mentioned, aspirin and NSAIDs other similar drugs will actually make the damage caused by arthritis worse. These drugs will stop the production of collagen and other materials and accelerating damage to the joints. Therefore, there was thinking why did not inhibit COX-2 is evil? It gives birth to a new drug that was once very popular of Vioxx. Vioxx was initially greeted with great expectations and was very successful Under normal circumstances, turned out to COX-1 and COX-2 should work in balance.

COX-1 which although is good, it will also constrict blood vessels and make blood cells called platelets less sticky. Here lies one of the role of COX-2 are categorized evil, COX-2 will serve as an antidote that will help to platelet clumping is not sticky to one another and dilate blood vessels. Just in time not too long finally at the end of 2004, the drug Vioxx should be withdrawn from circulation because it has led to increased heart attack for its users and improving the brain cell damage is more severe in the case of stroke.

There is one kind of another drug that is commonly used in Indonesia, named Paracetamol, or if in America called Acetaminophen, the drug is classified as NSAIDs but it works differently. He did not block the COX enzyme, but similar increase in brain chemicals called opioids, which thus would make the brain less sensitive to pain. Is this drug safe? Paracetamol is very highly toxic to the liver. This drug is one of the causes of the wearer should perform liver transplants.

And of course this is because the use of an over-dose, in normal usage according to the instructions of doctors and was not prolonged, the drug is relatively safe. In Indonesia, many young people and parents who use these drugs to calm down a very dangerous bet. Before the more modern drugs were found, there is a painkiller called Cortisone popular.

The drugs with the basic ingredients of other steroids. Cortisone is a derivative of the hormone produced naturally in the body that is in the adrenal glands above the kidneys. In the 1980s, these drugs are most popularly used as a painkiller and to treat arthritis. Unfortunately these drugs also have side effects quite dangerous. Once used in the body’s adrenal glands will stop producing cortisone, and even after coming off the drug even this, the adrenal gland is difficult to recover as usual. This drug will also suppress immune system so that users are more vulnerable to infection. Again we reiterate, all the drugs that we have mentioned none of which functions as a healer of disease, drugs that serve only as relievers symptoms and they all have side effects that sometimes is fatal when used in long term .

If we are already seeing great risk from these drugs, then what alternative? One of the most famous in the handling of joint pain without drugs is Glucosamine. Glucosamine is an amino acid molecule combined with simple sugars and become one of the raw materials formation of cartilage. Every day the cells in these joints should be revised, therefore, need an adequate supply of glucosamine. If supplies are not sufficient, it will occur this degenerative diseases such as arthritis. By eating natural foods rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, glucosamine needs will be fulfilled. Eat foods such as beans, whole grains, brown rice, broken rice skin, oats, soybeans, sweet. Sulphur.

If glucosamine is considered as a frame building, the sulfur can be described as nails. This is very much a function of sulfur, among others, can reduce pain, inflammation, toxins expenditure / detoxification, and formation of cell networks. The most effective source is methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). If these MSM combined with glucosamine, the effect will be even more effective. Many sulfur-containing foods are asparagus, broccoli, onions and garlic. Omega 3 fats. In the past people have a misconception, though by consuming fish oil, will be able to lubricate joints. The truth is that this fat is used to reduce pain and inflammation. Therefore, for people with arthritis, the consumption of foods rich in omega 3 like Flaxseed, Walnut, Pumpkin seed will be very helpful.

Turmeric contains curcumin, also works well as an anti-inflammatory, as well as ginger. Frequently eat pineapple, because rich in bromelain, very good for reducing inflammation. Eat a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin C every day, eat vegetables and fruits for the adequacy of this nutrient. What should be avoided? Reduce to a minimum of fat / oil. Eliminate all milk, dairy products, red meat, caffeine, salt, sugar and tobacco. For patients with gout, avoid meat offal and its high purine. While formerly avoid tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, pepper. To reduce pain / pain, can also compress with alternating ice and warm water.

Also what should be done? Often soaking up the sun in the morning, in order to get enough vitamin D for bone formation. Regular exercise is very important to reduce the pain. But it should be noted also not to provide excessive burden on the ailing part. If you are overweight, then weight must be reduced.

There is another option for relief of inflammation. Natural ingredients found in Nopales from TriVita, assist the body in naturally and quietly eliminating dangerous inflammation. This pleasing, and very effective way is the choice of tens of thousands of users around the country. (read more)

Anti-Inflammation Foods

Chronic, low-grade inflammation almost always lurks beneath the surface of diabetes and excess weight. You can’t usually see or feel the damage, but this type of inflammation significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death among people with diabetes. Low-grade inflammation has also been linked to an increased risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Your doctor can measure it with the “high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,” or CRP, test.

Processed sugars and other high-glycemic starches increase inflammation, just as they raise blood sugar, according to an article in the March 2002 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and many other drugs reduce inflammation, but they pose a risk of side effects and no doctor’s going to suggest taking these drugs on a regular basis because your CRP is elevated. However, many foods have anti-inflammatory benefits, and the only side effects are other stellar health benefits. Here are 10 of the best:

Salmon. Coldwater fish, including salmon, contain anti-inflammatory fats called omega-3s. Wild salmon has more of these super-healthy fats than does farmed salmon.

Shopping tip: All salmon from Alaska is wild, whereas Atlantic salmon is usually farmed. Herring, sardines, and tuna also contain omega-3s.

Grass-fed beef and other animal foods. As opposed to traditional, grain-fed livestock, meat that comes from animals fed grass also contains anti-inflammatory omega-3s, but in lower concentrations than coldwater fish. Free-range livestock that graze in pastures build up higher levels of omega-3s. Meat from grain-fed animals has virtually no omega-3s and plenty of saturated fat. Cooking tip: Unless it’s ground, grass-fed beef may be tougher, so slow cook it. Cows Eating Grass

Cooking oil. Olive oil is a great source of oleic acid, another anti-inflammatory oil. Researchers wrote in the October 2007 Journal of the American College of Nutrition that those who consume more oleic acid have better insulin function and lower blood sugar. Shopping tip: Opt for extra-virgin olive oil, which is the least processed, and use it instead of other cooking oils. Other “cold-pressed” or “expeller-pressed” oils can be good sources, too.

Salad Salads. Dark-green lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, and other salad veggies are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, nutrients that dampen inflammation.

Suggestion: Opt for olive oil-and-vinegar salad dressing (vinegar helps moderate blood sugar) and skip the croutons.

VegetablesCruciferous vegetables. These veggies, which include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale, are also loaded with antioxidants. But they provide one other ingredient sulfur that the body needs to make its own high-powered antioxidants, such as one called glutathione.

Cherries. A study in the April 2006 Journal of Nutrition showed that eating cherries daily can significantly reduce inflammation. Cherries are also packed with antioxidants and relatively low on the glycemic index.

Tip: Frozen cherries are available all year long and make a tasty dessert with a little yogurt or cheese.

Blueberries. These delectable fruits are chocked full of natural compounds that reduce inflammation. Blueberries may also protect the brain from many of the effects of aging. Frozen are usually less expensive than fresh—and just as good.

Turmeric. This spice contains a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory compound, according to a report in the August 2007 Biochemical Pharmacology. Turmeric has long been part of curry spice blends, used in southern Asian cuisines. To use: Buy powdered curry spice (which contains turmeric and other spices) and use it as a seasoning when pan-frying chicken breasts in olive oil.

Ginger. This relative of tumeric is also known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, and some research suggests that it might also help control blood sugar. Suggestion: Brew your own ginger tea. Use a peeler to remove the skin off a piece of ginger, then add several thin slices to a cup of hot water and let steep for a few minutes.

Garlic. The research isn’t consistent, but garlic may have some anti-inflammatory and glucose-regulating benefits and it may also help your body fight infections. At the very least, it won’t hurt and makes for a tasty addition to food. Kitchen tip: Dice garlic and fresh rosemary, and rub them on a whole chicken before roasting.

Green Tea. Like fruits and vegetables, green tea contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds. It may even reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Suggestion: Drink a cup a day — or brew it like sun tea, refrigerate, and serve.

Granted, nutrition plays a huge rule in the overall health and well being of individuals. There are other significant tested methods of eliminating inflammation within the human body. Please visit the links listed below for that information.

Anti-Inflammation

View the new blog that addresses anti-inflammation, and how to deal with that inflammation effectively. Inflammation is defined as a localized reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection. Symptoms of inflammation include pain, swelling, red coloration to the area, and sometimes loss of movement or function. We commonly think of inflammation as the painful component of arthritis. Inflammation is also a component of chronic diseases such as heart disease and strokes. Read More About Anti-Inflammation (read more)

Anti-Inflammation

Inflammation is defined as a localized reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection. Symptoms of inflammation include pain, swelling, red coloration to the area, and sometimes loss of movement or function. We commonly think of inflammation as the painful component of arthritis. Inflammation is also a component of chronic diseases such as heart disease and strokes.

Medical Anti-Inflammatory Treatments

Common medical anti-inflammatory treatments include rest, light exercise, weight maintenance, stretching, and medications designed to reduce the inflammation and control the pain. These medications include Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), steroid medications, and perhaps ultimately joint replacement surgery. The NSAIDs are widely used as the initial form of therapy.

For the most part NSAIDs are tolerated fairly well, although they can irritate the stomach and lead to ulcers. In some instances, long term use can lead to kidney problems.

Avoid Pro-Inflammatory Foods

Pro-inflammatory foods will increase inflammation, increase your pain from the inflammation and may also raise your risk for chronic disease. Loading up on junk foods, high-fat meats, sugar and fast foods will increase inflammation in your body. This is partially due to the unhealthy fats used in preparing and processing these foods, especially trans fats and saturated fats. Processed meats such as lunch meats, hot dogs and sausages contain chemicals such as nitrites that are associated with increased inflammation and chronic disease.

Saturated fats are also found in meats, dairy products and eggs. While all of these foods are important source of minerals and vitamins, you don't need the extra saturated fat. These foods also also contain fatty acids called arachidonic acid. While some arachidonic acid is essential for your health, too much arachidonic acid in the diet may make your inflammation worse. Be sure to choose low fat milk and cheese and lean cuts of meat, which will not promote inflammation.

Diets high in sugar have also been associated with inflammation, obesity and chronic disease such as diabetes. Eliminate high sugar foods such as sodas, soft drinks, pastries, pre-sweetened cereals and candy.

Another possible source of irritation comes from the nightshade family of plants. Whole fruits and vegetables are important to eat for their vitamins, minerals, and natural antioxidants. However some vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant may actually make pain from inflammation worse. These vegetables are part of the nightshade family of plants and contain a chemical alkaloid called solanine. Solanine can trigger pain in some people. While there isn't any formal research findings that back the claim about nightshade plants, some people believe they get relief from the symptoms of pain and inflammation.

Choose Anti-inflammatory Foods

Adding foods that reduce inflammation will improve how you feel and help to decrease your risk for chronic diseases. Here are some suggestions.

Fats and Oils

The right types of fats in your diet will impact pain and inflammation in a positive way. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are very powerful anti-inflammatory agents. They are found in cold water oily fish, walnuts, flax seeds, canola oil and pumpkin seeds. Adding omega-3 fatty acid supplements from flax oil or fish oil may also help reduce inflammation, just be sure to speak with a doctor or nutritionist before taking larger, therapeutic doses of any supplement, or follow label instructions.

Olive oil is another type of oil that will reduce inflammation. In fact, olive oil has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and will help to reduce pain. Other healthy oils include rice bran oil, grape seed oil, and walnut oil.

Protein

Your body needs protein to build healthy body tissues. Good protein sources include lean poultry, fish and seafood, nuts, legumes and seeds. Red meats may trigger inflammation, so cut back on fatty red meats. When you do eat red meat, choose lean cuts of bison, venison and other game meats, or the lowest-fat cuts of beef, preferably grass-fed beef.

Soybeans, tofu, and soy milk are three great sources of soy proteins that may help to reduce your pain and inflammation.

Carbohydrates and Fiber

Most of your carbohydrates should come from whole grains, vegetables and fruits. The bread, cereal and pasta in your diet should be mostly be 100% whole grain products. Whole grains are excellent sources of fiber, and a high fiber diet will reduce your inflammation.

Choose green leafy vegetables, green and brightly colored vegetables and lots of fresh whole fruits. You should eat at least five and preferably more servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Green vegetables and whole fruits are also important as sources of dietary fiber.

Berries are also a great food choice, especially blueberries and strawberries which are packed with anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and anti-oxidants. The pigments in brightly colored fruits, vegetables and berries contain many phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory properties. One example is quercetin, which is found in apple and red onion skins and has strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Healthy Beverages

Your body needs water in the form of foods and beverages every day. The simplest and maybe best form of water is fresh drinking water. Other good fluid sources include 100% fruit juices, herbal teas, vegetable juices and low fat milk. About 20% of the water you need every day will come from the foods you eat.

Anti-inflammatory Diet Tips

Over all, when you are choosing anti-inflammatory foods to help reduce your inflammation and pain, choose fresh foods instead of heavily processed foods. Here are some tips:
Breakfast could be oatmeal served with fresh berries and walnuts, with a cup of soy milk.
Snack on whole fruits, nuts, seeds, and fresh vegetables throughout the day instead of cookies and candy.
Eat more fish and less fatty red meat.
Stay away from deep fried foods and bake or stir fry your meals instead.
Choose green, orange, and yellow vegetables for your side dishes.
Drink plenty of water, fresh 100% fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas and green tea.

There is a very good product on the market today, that can assist people in ridding their bodies of harmful inflammation. The power of betalains Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, Nopalea delivers scientifically proven health benefits. This product is under strict supervision from TriVita. Here are some of the benefits of Nopalea Sonoran Bloom anti-inflammation product.

Detoxify your body

Every day, we’re exposed to toxins in our air, water and food—and even toxins created by our own bodies. Nopalea combines its betalains with other anti-toxic ingredients to combat these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.

By increasing the activity of CYP-2E1, a special enzyme that neutralizes daily toxins, Nopalea protects your cells and vital organs—especially your liver—against the carcinogens, hormone disruptors, respiratory toxins, developmental toxins and neurotoxins that are responsible for one-quarter of all the world’s diseases.

Reduce inflammation

When toxins assault your system—or when injury or infection strikes—your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

Nopalea specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.1 Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Protect against premature aging Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged.

Nopalea rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Nopalea fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells — at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.

More health benefits

Want even more reasons to drink Nopalea? Scientific research shows that Nopalea also helps the body to:

Increase energy
Boost the immune system
Protect against fluid retention
Neutralize free radicals

TriVita makes it very clear that Nopalea is not a cure for inflammation. Tens of thousands of people are taking Nopalea, and are seeing excellent results by doing so. (read more)

Anti-Inflammation

How to deal with inflammation, or putting the fire out in your body, is of primary importance. Learning how to eat well, and live well, is the intent and purpose of these anti-inflammation articles. Dealing with inflammation by using one of the best products found on Google today, TriVita Sonoran Bloom Nopalea may help in this quest. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is dedicated to helping people deal effectively with issues through nutrition and natural products.

It has long been known that fish oils can help as part of an anti inflammation diet, but until recently we didn’t know exactly how. Now scientists have found out how they work and the overwhelming evidence of just how beneficial they are.

The important point to remember if you want an anti inflammation diet is that some inflammation is good!

This is the body’s way of fighting off infection and a natural defense mechanism. The problems come today with our poor diets and stressed lifestyles that leave us building up too much inflammation in the body which can lead to heart attacks and strokes if left unchecked.

Fish oils rich in the most important omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, have been shown to provide most of the benefits especially for heart and brain health.

American and British scientists recently found that the body converts DHA into a chemical called Resolvin D2 which has powerful anti-inflammatory qualities and can help to significantly reduce high levels in the body and so lower the risk of heart disease and ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other serious joint problems.

With today’s poor diets and the low nutritional value of our food, it is important to add a fish oil supplement to ensure you get the proper benefits, especially as fresh fish contain so many toxins.

This will also give you additional benefits like improved brain health and mental well-being, protection against cancer especially breast and prostate, an improved immune system and treatment for age related eye disease to name just a few.

When looking for a fish oil supplement it’s best to get one that’s been distilled to remove the toxins like mercury and lead unless proven to be pure.

To get the most of the anti-inflammatory benefits, one high in DHA with at least 270mg per capsule is best. When Hoki oil and distilled Tuna oil are combined, you can get two and a half times more anti-inflammatory benefits than standard oil, so it’s worth looking out for.

Fish oil has got to be one of nature’s finest substances when you consider the wealth of health benefits it provides and the fact that it’s responsible for saving thousands of lives each year in the US alone.

If you make a daily fish oil supplement part of your anti inflammation diet, you will achieve far greater results and much better health now and especially in the future. (read more)

Anti-Inflammation

With the topic of anti-inflammation as the primary topic of concern these days, it will be helpful for the Google reader to know, and understand, some of the nutritional substances that show prominence. Below, are some of the most common anti-inflammation foods.

Omega-3 fatty acids - Most sea foods with fish oils are rich in this essential fatty acid. The vegetarian sources include flaxseed powder, walnuts, sesame and canola oil. All raw nuts also contain at least some omega-3 also. But my recommendation is to stay away from flaxseed products. New research has indicated that flax seed products consumed regularly will lower HDL, the good cholosterol.

Quercetin - This is an anti-inflammatory phytochemical of the flavonoid family. It is found in red grapes, onions, broccoli, garlic, and apples. Green apples, especially the skins, are known to promote the growth of healthy hair according to a large Japanese study.

Resveratrol - This is another phytochemical, very much in the news lately because of its benefit to the heart and blood vessels. It is found in red wine and red grapes. Supplement dealers are now selling "extract" of resveratrol, but why not go for the real thing - red wine in moderation and red grapes. There is that lure of taking a magic pill though.

Polyphenols - These are other anti-inflammatory phytochemicals found in highly colored berries like blueberries and blackberries. They are also rich in anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that is protective of hair follicles. Cranberry juice if it's 100% is also full of these phytochemicals, but stay away from the cranberry "drinks" and other fruit drinks too. These are usually nothing but sugar, water, synthetic flavor, and some coloring - very high on the glycemic index.

Antioxidants - These protect the body from free-radical damage, the chain-reaction that erodes cell membranes (cell walls) throughout the body. Some of the foods I eat for their antioxidant effects are green and red peppers, loaded with vitamin C; canned tomatoes, rich in lycopene (protects against prostate problems too); and all kinds of dark leafy greens like spinach. If you make salads from these greens, stay away from most of the salad dressings you'll find at the stores. Almost 95% of them are loaded with high fructose corn syrup. (Paul Newman's salad dressings are the only ones I found without HFCS.) This chemical is a disaster making people fat around the middle.

Oleic acid - This contains the omega-9 fatty acid that helps the omega-3 function more efficiently. I use extra-virgin olive oil, high in omega-9, for everything, even putting a few drops on whole wheat toast. This is the best pro-inflammatory oil. Use it instead of the polyunsaturated oils like safflower, corn, and soybean.

Curcumin - Turmeric powder contains curcumin, an extremely powerful anti-inflammatory spice. I get it at Whole Foods and use it in soups and casseroles. I'm not enthusiastic about the taste of this spice though.

Alpha-lipoic acid - This antioxidant is found in most meats and vegetables and is easily absorbed, but some researchers like Dr. Lester Packer of UC Berkeley suggest taking an alpha-lipoic acid supplement. Juvenon, which also contains acetyl-L carnitine, is an excellent although expensive alpha-lipoic acid supplement.

Inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

When inflammation occurs normally, chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released to protect us from foreign substances. Sometimes, however, the white blood cells and their inflammatory chemicals cause damage to the body’s tissues.

In some diseases, however, the body’s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called autoimmune diseases, the body’s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.

Along with proper nutrition, there is a new anti-inflammation product found on Google that is assisting people around the country, in ridding their bodies of harmful inflammation, it adds numerous nutritional supplements which further assist the process of natural function. That product is called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. Found in the desert Southwest, the Nopal Cactus contains within it, the natural healing power used by untold generation of the Southwest Desert Dwellers. Trying Nopalea as an inflammation remedy and detoxifier, just makes sense in this world of stress and toxins. (read more)

Inflammation

Inflammation (Latin, inflammare, to set on fire) is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection, the two are not synonymous: infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is one of the responses of the organism to the pathogen.

Without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. Similarly, progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is for that reason that inflammation is normally closely regulated by the body.

Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.

Inflammation is on the rise in this fast paced technological world. For thousands of years the native people of the Sonoran Desert have relied on the amazing healing properties of the indigenous plants and cacti. Sonoran Bloom brings native traditions and ancient wisdom from the Nopal cactus to you in its purest and freshest form. People everywhere are sharing the story of Nopalea and it’s wellness benefits.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you know what you really want?

Reticular Activating System (RAS) is like a spam filter for your mind. RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

1. Is it my responsibility?
2. Is it important?
3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?

The second question the RAS continually asks to determine whether or not it will allow you to be aware of the opportunities around you is: Is it important?

The only way your RAS will know what is important is if you tell it exactly what is important.You must have clear, specific, vivid and measurable goals. Make no mistake. Setting goals is one of the most crucial steps to creating a better or different future than you are currently headed for.

Do you know what you really want?
Have you gotten to this point in your life and noone has asked you what is important to you? Have you ever written down what is most important to you? Many times folks will spend more time planning a one week vacation then they will planning their lives. No wonder they are stuck. No wonder things never seem to get much better. Telling the RAS what is important begins with knowing what it is you want.

Get Specific
If you want to set goals that really affect your behavior and cause change, they must be clear, specific, vivid and measurable. The fifth law of behavior says, "Your self-image can be changed by clear, specific, vivid, emotional experiences and/or repetition, whether real or imagined." For your RAS to open up to opportunities around you, you must tell your subconscious minds exactly what you want, because RAS will settle for anything that works! This means that if our goals are vague, general, or fuzzy the RAS will shut down the minute anything satisfies what you have told it.

For example, suppose your goal is you want "more money". You find a $5 bill lying on the ground and your RAS says, "All right! I met that goal, so I don't need to see any more opportunities in the money arena." You see, the $5 bill is "more money" than you had before. On the other hand, if you specify exactly (measurable) how much more money you want (say, $2500 per month), then your RAS doesn't shut out opportunities until you have reached the specific amount that you want.

What if your goal is "to spend more quality time with my kids?" Any extra time you spend would satisfy that goal so that just an additional two minutes a day would be enough for you to quit looking for and seeing opportunities to spend time with your kids. Better that you set your goal as "I will spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day, with each of my children, engaged in conversation one-on-one with no TV or other distractions in the room" (clear, specific, vivid, measurable!).

It's not a good idea to be like the person that says, "I always wanted to grow up to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific." If you don't know where you are going, you are already there!

DO YOU NEED SHAKLEE HERB-LAX? YOU BE THE JUDGE...

It has been known by the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, that well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis — that is, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation. A person can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of “disease” conditions.

These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The proper body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin) which are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness. To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee has made HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination.

It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted by television. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents. This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials.

It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day ( in the case of Diverticulitis). Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.

Herb Lax®
One cannot study the Shaklee product Herb-Lax® without gaining a profound respect for our founder Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.

What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century. Herb-Lax was the second product he developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health.

It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system. The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. What Dr. Shaklee did to make his signature product unique was to blend an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its intended use - that being to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system. He was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Another great consideration about this product is that the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours. I think it is interesting to note that by taking less than the serving size, one can effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea.

Why does it work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to the aforementioned Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root have shown some laxative action.

They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action. For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses!

SHAKLEE Herb-Lax

Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative for Occasional Irregularity. Notes in FROM THE FIELD

“Herb-Lax is one of SHAKLEE’s most popular products. Why? Because it gives gentle relief in those who are troubled by constipation and gastric distress. It’s not only gentle; it’s safe, too, cleansing the entire system of toxins without being toxic or harmful itself. The nine herbs in SHAKLEE Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative are effective, yet do not damage the sensitive cilia (constantly moving hair-like structures lining the intestinal tract) as chemical laxatives can.

“Constipation and irregularity are a curse of our modern diets. Both contribute significantly to toxic buildup in the blood and lymphatic system. When irregularity or constipation occur, it’s time for Herb-Lax.

“Herb-Lax contains the herb senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia), which has been used as an herbal laxative for more than 3,500 years. Senna has two actions. It triggers the secretion of fluids into the colon, which causes stools to be softer and easier to eliminate. It also stimulates contraction of muscles within the colon to promote elimination.

“Herb-Lax specifically targets irregularity and constipation due to travel, illness, medications you may be taking, or a change in diet. Herb-Lax can be used when beginning a detoxification or colon cleansing program. Herb-Lax was originally formulated by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. Herb-Lax encourages a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural processes.” FROM THE FIELD

The label says that 4 tablets may be taken once or twice a day for occasional irregularity.

1. Did you know that diarrhea is just another form of constipation? Therefore, you can use Herb-Lax to help when you have diarrhea, too, though that seems counter-intuitive. Nedra Sahr, nutritionist, points out: the circular muscles around the large intestines are supposed to contract rhythmically to push the feces along the length of the colon to the rectum… If the contractions are too strong and working too fast, the result is diarrhea. Lots of valuable nutrients are lost because there' s not enough time for them to get absorbed. If the contractions are too slow, minerals have time to bind with fats, and create hard stool that leads to constipation.

2 Current research says FIBER is the “daily laxative”. We ought to be getting in 25-30 grams of fiber from all sources every day to give bulk enough that contractions are stimulated. “Normal” is 2-3 bowel movements daily. Did you know that most of us get in only about 13 grams of fiber daily? That’s not surprising when you realize that a slice of WHOLE wheat bread is only 1.60 grams, and an apple 1.06 grams. If we eat a lot of meat (no fiber), cooked veggies (weakened fiber), processed foods (no fiber), dairy (no fiber), sugar and white flour (no fiber)…then we’re a long way from colon health. No wonder colon cancer is on the rise; too many toxins stay in, putrefy, and get reabsorbed. Adding one of SHAKLEE’s easy-to-take fiber supplements may literally save your life.

3. Many SHAKLEE people have increased their daily dietary fiber, but still safely take 1-2 Herb-Lax every night. They feel since it’s Dr. Shaklee’s formula, it’s good for more than its laxative properties. They know the other 8 herbs heal and tone the colon, Carol Robins Dalton, NP, says, Herb-Lax cleanses and purifies the blood, too. Herb-Lax users report clear skin, vigor, regularity, and great health.

4. But Nedra Sahr also cautions that there are so many people who have inflamed bowels these days that not everyone can use it as a 10-day cleanser before they start a nutrition program, nor as a daily-use product. She says YOU DON'T WANT TO EXERCISE INFLAMED TISSUE on a daily basis. Instead, she says that the place to start is with OPTIFLORA, fiber, and water instead of Herb-Lax, as you work to heal the inflammation. (Those with inflammation might need it for occasional constipation, as the gentlest and most effective laxative product on the market, and that’s fine.)

NOTE ABOUT SHAKLEE HERBAL MEDICINES OTC (over the counter) medicines provide safe and effective self-medication, and should be used only as directed.

THE MOM FACTOR

At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind.

The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

• 1. Is it my responsibility?
• 2. Is it important?
• 3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?

1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely.

Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor"

I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK.

It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over.

Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog.

Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it.

I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life.

All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do cleaning products cause breast cancer?

Women who report greater use of cleaning products may be at higher breast cancer risk than those who say they use them sparingly. Researchers writing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Environmental Health asked more than 1500 women about their cleaning product usage and found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control had a higher incidence of breast cancer.

Julia Brody, from the Silent Spring Institute, USA, worked with a team of researchers to carry out telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women. She said, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer.”

The researchers questioned women on product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors. They found that cleaning products, air fresheners, and insect repellents were associated with breast cancer, but little association was observed with overall pesticide use.

Women with breast cancer who believed that chemicals and pollutants contribute ‘a lot’ to the risk of developing the condition were more likely to report high product usage. Speaking about this potential bias to the study, Brody said, “When women are diagnosed with breast cancer, they often think about what happened in the past that might have contributed to the disease.

As a result, it may be women with breast cancer more accurately recall their past product use or even over-estimate it. Or, it could also be experience with breast cancerinfluences beliefs about its causes. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to believe heredity contributes ‘a lot’, because most are the first in their family to get the disease.”

In order to avoid possible recall bias, the researchers recommend further study of cleaning products and breast cancer using prospective self-reports and measurements in environmental and biological media.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you need Herb-Lax?

This site is especially for people who are seeking answers about Shaklee products and business.

Bottom Line: DR Shaklee knew what he was doing by combining all these natural herbs into one fantastic product called HERBLAX. Today it's still one of our best selling products. Why because it flat out works and it's very cost effective.

What's eating you Acid?

"Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems.

For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them".

The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature!

For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance.

At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa.

However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant".

I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity.

Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life.

It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body".

Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food."

"They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Stressed? This might help..

It's a fact of life stress plays a major role on our emotions, physical and mental well being. Heck if you have turned on the news lately that's enough to stress about anybody out! So what do we do when stress factors keep hitting us square in the face? I know at first blush this may be hard to do but you MUST.... Shut down and put out of your mind what is stressing you out if only for an hour. You must give your mind & body time to adjust, and workout a strategic plan. Many times it's not the situation, but it's how we react to a situation that causes so much stress it can be detrimental to your health.

As a Kansas farmers daughter I have certain values drilled into my head. I'm sure you do too. Values about what you perceive to be right or wrong.. I think all of us do, that's one reason when we pay attention to what's happening in America today it upsets us so much. Word of advise... if you have no way of controlling and changing the situation YOU MUST LET IT GO! I'm saying that for your own health OK?

Next you must do what is necessary to protect your body from the Damaging Effects of Stress. The following link is a short informative recording about how the body reacts during stress and what we can do to limit the effects of stress on our body. RECORDING CLICK HERE

If effects of today's world comes back to haunt your personal or business world, you must take the bull by the horns and do what it takes to make the situation have as little effect on your life as possible. One thing I know for sure we all were born into this world and we all someday will die. It's what happens in between that we can do something about.

To a healthy successful journey,

Barefoot Healthy Living: Cleanse and Detox Program

A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90

Lets face it we are what we eat... Have you ever eaten one of those big fat juicy McDonalds hambugers? I think most of us have. What a bag of greesy potato chips. The liver works harder when it's dealing with heavy, greasy, refined foods. Unfortunatly the garbage that goes in our body doesn't always come out completly. Did you know with a proper detox some folks can loose 20 lbs of weight? Generally that weight is noticed most around the middle. (belly fat)

Detox or cleansing diets can include water, potions, fruit and vegetable juice, raw food, herbal supplements or a combination of approaches. Proponents say they're necessary because our bodies take a lot of abuse from modern life. Conventional doctors, meanwhile, say the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin are perfectly capable of detoxifying on their own. At the very least, there may be an emotional benefit associated with starting over. To detox safely you can consume lots of fresh, raw and organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes nuts and seeds. The hard part is finding products are actually what they say they are. The regulations for "organic" labeling are pretty loose to say the least!

Detox Program to Cleanse the Body Shaklee Syle!

Here's a picture of one of Shaklee's studies that they did when creating the Enfuselle skin care system!

Shaklee invested 5 Million $$ and  1 1/2 years to create Enfuselle.

Here's what some satisfied customers are saying:
S.L. "Since I use Enfuselle skin care my skin is smooth and looks great. I'm 42 and nobody ever guesses my age because I don't have a single fine line or wrinkle."

P.K. "I had 3 unwanted moles on my face, I started to use Enfuselle and a weeks later the moles lightened then it totally disappeared. I'm ecstatic because I had this for years and I really didn't like it"

E.T. "I have monthly breakouts which leaves me with scars. This means I always have new pimples and old scars.   Since I use Enfuselle Acne Cream the pimples dry very fast, and the A.M. & P.M.

Y.L. " I love the refining polisher, when I use it in the shower I feel like I'm having a SPA treatment in the comfort of my home without spending a lot of money."

The Power of Protein on Barefoot Healthy Living

The Power of Protein

It's essential to the growth, repair, and maintenance of all body tissues. It's also required for making enzymes - catalysts essential to all life processes, and hormones - powerful chemical messengers that circulate through your bloodstream to specific target cells, where they generate a wide range of biological responses. It also helps your body maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, provides a source of energy, and helps your body fight off disease. These are the powers of protein!

These powers are made possible by consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein from a variety of lean meats, fish, and poultry, as well as soy and milk, which supply the body with amino acids, the basic building blocks from which the body can make its own body proteins.

Not All Protein Is Created Equal
Foods provide about 20 different amino acids, of which more than half are considered to be nonessential.?In other words, the body can make them for itself. However, nine other amino acids are considered "essential," meaning the body is unable to make them on its own. And unlike the carbohydrates and fats we consume, amino acids are not stored in the body. Therefore, the body must rely on a constant and steady supply from the protein-rich foods we eat every day.  

So what are the best sources of dietary protein? And is there a difference between animal and vegetable sources? Well, it's true that not all dietary protein is created equal. It really is the protein quality of one's diet that, in large part, determines how well a child will grow and develop and how well an adult will maintain his or her health. Put simply, high-quality proteins provide enough of all the essential amino acids needed to support the body's work, and lower-quality proteins don't. Two key factors that influence protein quality are the protein's digestibility and its amino acid composition. Protein digestibility is a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake, and amino acid composition refers to the simultaneous availability of all the needed amino acids from a food we choose to eat. In general, animal-sourced proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy) are considered high-quality proteins, as is soy, a vegetable-sourced protein. However, other vegetable proteins tend to be of much lower quality and are often referred to as "incomplete" proteins because they do not provide all the essential amino acids the body needs. Incomplete proteins can come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts.

Health Benefits
When most of us think about the health benefits of dietary protein, its role in bodybuilding comes to mind and rightly so. No new body tissue can be built without it. However, research also suggests that the intake of high-quality protein in the context of an overall healthful diet may also have positive effects on our body weight and body composition as we age, as well as play a role in the prevention of chronic diseases such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis.

• Weight Management: Studies have shown that achieving a healthy weight and maintaining that weight can help add years to your life, and scientists believe that dietary protein may play an important role in weight management. High-protein diets may promote significantly more weight loss compared to lower protein diets because of protein's role in promoting satiety In a fairly recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers studied the effects of increasing dietary protein while maintaining carbohydrate content on weight loss, appetite, calorie intake, and fat mass in a small group of study participants. Initially, participants were instructed to follow a weight-maintaining diet (50% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 35% fat) for two weeks. Then for the following two weeks, they were asked to follow a diet providing the same amount of calories but with 50% of calories coming from carbohydrate, 30% from protein, and 20% from fat. Two weeks later, they were given an ad libitum diet of  50% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 20% fat to follow for an additional 12 weeks. Even though subjects could eat as much food as they wanted in those 12 weeks, they actually reduced their calorie intake by an average of 441 calories per day. They also lost an average of 10.8 pounds in body weight and 8.2 pounds of body fat. 
• Age-Related Muscle Loss: After about age 40, most adults will lose anywhere between 0.5% and 1% of their skeletal muscle mass each year. And in the early years, this gradual loss may go unnoticed because it might be masked by a concurrent increase in body fat. However, chronic muscle loss?or what is known as sarcopenia?is estimated to affect  about 30% of people over age 60 and may affect more than 50% of those over age 80. Insufficient protein intake in older adults can contribute to a loss of muscle, and although the optimal amount of protein to prevent or offset the progression of sarcopenia has yet to be established, research findings suggest that protein intakes modestly above the present recommended dietary allowance of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day (i.e. 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day or higher) enhance muscle mass in older adults who regularly perform resistance exercise. Protein intake in older adults also appears to have a more beneficial effect when consumed within an hour or so of resistance exercise. Emerging research also suggests that dairy protein, especially whey protein, may minimize sarcopenia because of its high concentration of leucine, an amino acid known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. For example, findings in older adults suggest that increasing leucine intake may help restore the protein synthesis response to protein-containing meals, which has been shown to diminish with age.
• Cardiovascular Disease: One concern that has been raised about the trend in high-protein diets for weight loss has been that eating diets high in protein and fat, and low in carbohydrate, would harm the heart. However, recent research findings suggest that if done in a healthy way, eating a little more protein, especially vegetable protein, while cutting back on refined carbohydrates may actually benefit the heart. A 20-year prospective study of 82,802 women found that those who ate low-carbohydrate diets high in vegetable sources of fat or protein had a 30% lower risk of heart disease, compared to women who ate high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. But women who ate low-carbohydrate diets that were high in animal fats or proteins did not have a reduced risk of heart disease.
• Cancer: There's no good evidence that eating a little protein or a lot of it significantly influences cancer risk. However, eating a lot of red meat (cured and processed meats, in particular) has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer. There also has been considerable investigation of the potential of soy-protein-containing foods to reduce the risk of cancer, especially breast cancer. In a fairly recent review of studies based on Asian populations, higher soy intake was associated with an overall 29% decreased risk of breast cancer. Despite these positive findings, the relationship between soy foods and breast cancer risk has been controversial because of data gathered from cell culture and animal studies that suggest isoflavones (the plant-estrogen-like compounds in soy foods) stimulate the growth of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells. This has led to questions about the safety of soy consumption in women with a history of breast cancer or women at high risk for the disease. Research continues in this area, but it?s important to point out that several lines of existing evidence suggest that women with breast cancer can safely consume soy. First, human studies have shown that isoflavones do not stimulate breast cell proliferation or increase breast tissue density (two markers of increased cancer risk), and a lack of harmful effects have been noted in several clinical studies examining the impact of soy food intake on the prognosis of breast cancer patients. In one study, neither soy nor isoflavone intake was related to the disease-free survival rate of breast cancer patients over a five-year follow-up period, and in a second study, higher soy intake was associated with a more favorable outcome for both total mortality and disease-specific mortality or relapse during a follow up period of two years. And even better news is that the benefit of soy food intake on survival was more pronounced among women with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer. Although these studies are encouraging, breast cancer remains a very serious health condition. Women with a history of breast cancer should seek the advice of their doctor concerning the consumption of soy foods as part of an overall healthful diet.
• Osteoporosis: Prevention of osteoporosis is a public health priority and among nutritional factors, most attention has focused on the beneficial role of calcium. However, in addition to calcium, many other nutrients are necessary for bone health, including protein. Findings from many, but not all, epidemiological studies point to a beneficial role for dietary protein in bone health. High-protein intakes have been associated with reduced bone loss, high bone-mineral density, and reduced fracture risk in older adults. In a recent trial, increasing protein intake, especially when accompanied by calcium and vitamin D, reduced bone loss, improved muscle strength, and shortened the hospital stay in older patients with hip fractures whose usual intake of dietary protein was low.
  
  On the other hand, some studies suggest that excessive dietary protein intake may have detrimental effects on bone because of its effect on urinary calcium excretion. This controversy may be explained by other nutrients in food or the source of dietary protein. For example, dietary protein has been shown to exert a positive effect on the skeleton of older adults when calcium intake is adequate, but not when calcium intake is low.
  
  Because protein exists in close association with other nutrients in the diet, it is important to consider protein?s role in bone health in the context of foods or the overall dietary pattern. A number of studies have demonstrated that intake of milk and other dairy products benefits bone health. Dairy products such as milk are a unique source of protein because their calcium content is high relative to their protein content and they contain other bone-supporting nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A, D, and K.
  

How Much Protein Is Enough?  
Although no one-size-fits-all answer exists for that question and research on the topic is still emerging, the current recommended dietary allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day for healthy young adults. That comes to about 62 grams of protein a day for a person who weighs 170 pounds. Although growing children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and older adults may need a little more (1.0-1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight), getting the minimum daily requirement of protein is fairly easy. Cereal with milk for breakfast, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, and a piece of fish with a side of beans for dinner adds up to about 70 grams of protein.

It?s also important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. An eight-ounce broiled porterhouse steak is a great source of complete protein?54 grams worth. But it also delivers 44 grams of fat, 16 of which are saturated. Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol, and high blood cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, a cup of cooked lentils has 18 grams of protein, but less than one gram of fat.

Vegetable sources of protein, including soy protein beverage mixes, are also an excellent choice and many also provide healthful amounts of other essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry. If you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Christmas Snack

The Healthy Christmas Snack

Protein Balls

Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)

Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy)

Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)

Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)

The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.

~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~

Barefoot Healthy Living: Go for it....No regrets!

One of the great benefits of a Shaklee Business is the personal developement your recieve. When I read this message this morning from Gary Burke it reminded me of something I heard when I first started in the business. "Whatever you do DON'T QUIT" over the years I've gotten so many phone calls from past distributors who did quit and tell me how they regret their past decision.

Go for it....No regrets!~by Gary Burke

I received the following statement (in quotes) about regrets a few days ago and I've read it several times and it has made me think. It's really quite a strong statement about the choices we make as people.

"Regrets are a result from poor choices made on decisions based on temptation, doubt, fear, frustration and anger."

I think one reason I have given this some thought is I can remember some of the early times while building our Shaklee business when I would get frustrated because it just didn't seem to be growing as fast as I wanted it to. All kinds of thoughts would start coming to mind and most of them were negative. Wondering if this Shaklee opportunity would really work for us the way it did for others we heard about and saw at various meetings.

Wonder, doubt, temptation to quit, and most of all frustration. As I think back though, the issue really was about me and not the opportunity. I expected more than my skills could deliver. I had to learn the HOW TO's.......How to prospect effectively....getting appointments....telling the Shaklee story....understanding the compensation plan....I had to develop certain skills.

I'm a competitive guy. Always have been. I loved the competition of athletics and that is what would eventually win over all the frustration and/or doubtful thinking. Every team I was ever on, the coach always talked about fundamentals, working hard and having a great attitude, and above all "you never want to quit."

I was not going to quit. I wanted what the Shaklee opportunity offered and I knew if others could build successfully, so could I. I just refused to live a life of regret.

No one ever fails at building a Shaklee business. But many quit! Many people make decisions based on frustration, doubt, and other negative thoughts. Don't allow it to happen to you. Work hard and develop the skills you need to make Shaklee work for you. If you do I know this....You will never, ever regret hanging in there tough, you'll never, ever regret sticking with it, you'll never regret the effort it takes to develop the skills you need.

Work hard. Put in the effort it requires. Smile! Laugh! Have fun! Go for it! No regrets! Don't ever give up........Never give up!

Boogie Woogie Dance makes you Feel Good!

A message from...
Cindy McAsey the barefootmentor

When I saw this video I knew you should see it too... Dancing brings out so many creative ideas for me I hope it moves you the same way. Isn't it wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video.

Link to video

My feet are still tapping. Are you ready to go dancing too? Lets be honest.. Nothing is more important than your health. As I shared in my last message to you our mind plays an important role in our health.

A perfect example is a story about Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went.

When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away.

The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant.

Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this.

Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging men’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that!

In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too.

Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer

Liquid Supplement: The Anti-Aging Powerhouse

A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Mom with 2 kids a husband & a farm full of animals

The Facts and tests are in Resveratrol is indeed a breakthrough ingredient in our liquid supplement. In fact our liquid supplement is so much more powerful than taking resveratrol alone.

Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine!

Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant.

Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells.

Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol.

Business Franchise hardly anybody knows about

A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach

The problems we are faced with in a down economy is all over CNN, BBC, FOX News ...have been releasing reports daily of market turmoil, multiple bank failures, soaring foreclosures, and skyrocketing unemployment.

Every one of us has witnessed or is feeling the harsh effects on our economy in one way or another.

To make matters worse, business owners, top professionals in the mortgage business, real estate and insurance business are struggling financially and are facing a major crisis.

As a small business entrepreneur we must seek out solutions. We must not only shift gears in the midst of a downturn, but also shift our energy to stay out of fear mode, which is even more important — and tougher to do.

In Tough Times, Tackle Anxiety First

Here's a simple six-step program for “shifting yourself out of fear-based operating mode and getting back on track towards success.”

The first step, is to confess that you are, in fact, afraid. Stress, worry and apprehension are all elements of fear. I admit it is scary right now being in business, but that is what entrepreneurship is all about.

The second step is to respond to that fear with calm deliberation rather than rash acts that may push your businesses into deeper trouble.

The third is for small businesses to refocus their efforts on things they can excell in.

The fourth is to “reframe the story” by looking for new opportunities in difficult times.
The fifth is for entrepreneurs to maintain a balance between their work and personal lives.

The sixth is to seek out a critic who will give unvarnished feedback about potential blind spots.

Did you know that while the majority of folks in America are fighting for survival a privileged few are building a steady, stable, strong business? These folks know something that you don't.

They aren't jumping on the latest greatest thing since sliced bread. (rash acts) These folks are maintaining the calm deliberation, reframing by looking for real honest opportunities and taking advise that goes to the heart of the matter. Don't Panic!

I want to share this short video from the CEO of Shaklee, Roger Barnett giving an explaination of why he launched the latest incentive called "The Power of 10"

Bottomline..our Business Franchise Online offers REAL opportunities for REAL people.

#4 Rule for Happiness and Contentment

Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others. Let your emotion of love warm the heart of someone and see an ample supply of happiness reflected upon you. A selfish person may depend on gaining possessions to bring happiness, but soon will find that such possessions reflect only their own selfish thoughts.

Sow the Seeds of Happiness in Others, and You Will reap A Joyful Harvest.

Business Franchise Online: Rule #2 for Happiness and Contentment

A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach

To gain happiness, you must discover and enjoy what you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about how much we have which produces happiness. In building a happy contented life you must give happiness to others. No one living for himself will ever be contented.

Your happiness is reflected upon you through service you give to others.... and the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happniess-service from others.

Start creating happiness-habit by producing happy love filled thoughts.

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."

When I discovered the company in this short video my level of happiness grew much stronger. I feel it's because the values align so closely with who I am. I feel a close parallel between my business "Barefoot in the Garden" and the philosophy "created by nature."

What values do you align with?

Barefoot Marketing Strategies: Luxury Vacation Resorts.. What do you want in the Recession?

A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach

You know I LOVE twitter, but over the last week I have seen a sense of panic, mostly because I have been focusing on a target market that isn't currently a small business owner. There is so much education to be done for some of these poor souls or at least they think they are poor because the media tells them how bad it is.

I've got "NEWS" for you just because the media paints a doom and gloom picture it doesn't have to be like that. Let's face it. Doom and gloom sells. Look at 911 how many people (including me) were glued to the TV watching and listening. Remember the year 2000 scare when all electronic data was going to be wiped out? Did it happen? NO... Did some people take advantage of it a make a boat load? YES

It amazes me these predictors are not held accountable for their stupidity when the bad things DON’T come to pass. Sadly, I’ve found that some of the greatest tragedies I’ve seen in my life, like 9/11, Huricane Katrina, and earth quakes, tsunamis, and other disasters were not predicted or prevented in any real way at all.

Any thinking person understands depressions, natural disasters, war, and more... does happen and that is unfortunately a part of life as we know it. But the media doesn’t want you to ‘think’… they want you to be afraid and dependant and turn to them for ‘comfort’ day in and day out (bad, bad idea… they never report ‘good news’). To my knowledge, worrying about such events has not prevented any of them!

Action and imagination solve problems a whole lot better than ‘worrying’.

After all…

Napoleon Hill didn’t write, ‘Worry and Grow Rich’, did he?

However, the doomsayers predict doom almost every day it and the media seems eerily cheerful in reporting on anything negative that happens around the world in real time, 24 hours a day year round. What is missing is perspective.

Miracles, recovery, healing, new discoveries, massive profits, enlightenment, giving, growth, birth, beauty and joy are ALSO happening every day around the world.

But you’d never know about it if you rely on the NEWS media for your view of reality.

If you want to profit from these times, let McCain, Obama, the stock market, real estate woes and the nattering ninnies in Congress shuffle papers around to their hearts content. And ignore them. If you have real estate problems or stock troubles, educate yourself on how to best deal with those issues. Tell yourself over and over.. "If it is to be it's up to me" Don't rely on anyone to bail you out!

Don’t envy or resent the ‘rich’, join them! The Money is still right under our noses. In fact this "recession" will produce more billionaires than ever before. (Some people are THRILLED to see it coming) Stocks and Real Estate will be bought at rock bottom prices. (Only to be sold for massive profits in a few short years) Advertising for your business will be much cheaper, because there won't be the competition from the nervous nellies.

SMART Small Business Entrepreneurs are...

• Proactive. We see something coming and we do something about it. We take the bull by the horns.
• Focus on Sales. Bottomline we are in sales may as well admit it. We focus on Sales, not the "news"
• Focus on Value. We market and sell products that add good value. Something that is consumable that consumers need and want.
• Focus on Abundance. Think in terms of abundance we understand there is plenty of money out there and we can make as much as we want.
• Ready to take Action. We think outside the box and are ready to take advantage of opportunity when it comes our way.
• Focus on Marketing. We constantly invest (time and money) in marketing we know our business must be preforming marketing that works, we test it, we track it, we know what's working.

To your Success,

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms?

When you live on a farm in Kansas sometimes your suroundings come through in the web conferencing recording. You will get the short story in this web conferencing recording.

I decided to save this web conference online training and load the whole file up to my server. Not that it's necessarly the best online training I've done, in fact when I re-listened to the recording I just about didn't post it.

There is time during this training that my guineas start making so much noise that I have to stop the training and close the window! If you don't mind hearing real world day to day things that happen on our farm in Kansas then this is a must listen to training.

Here is the link: http://www.barefoot-in-the-garden.com/R/cindy422/index.htm

Just so you know this recording is un-edited and everyone who was in the class text chats show so it's really pretty much like being live in web conference. In this recording I cover most of the basic features of VereConference how to use the screen casting, basic recording features, locking the room etc.

For the perfectionists watching this recording I realize I didn't have the back drop of my screen casting exactly perfect but decided to post the recording anyway. Most of you who have been to my trainings know I'm really picky about that stuff. Please overlook the imperfections to learn what this amazing web conferencing system can do for your business.

btw... as I write this our guineas are up letting their presence be known again this morning.

Barefoot Secrets of Luxury Living a Long Healthy prosperous Life

In the next few minutes you are going to learn why I'm so passionate about the products and give you some insider information about the trends we see happening.

Did you know our company was the #1 natural nutritional company in USA? My hottest selling product is one of the first products our company made over 50 years ago. It's an Herbal laxative. It actually works kind of like a toothbrush on your intestines scrubbing them from the inside out. Did you know that the average americian carries around 20 LBS of waste in their intestines? They do... Actually this product works as a normalizer not and laxative like most people assume.

Don't be okay with feeling just okay. If you're like nine out of 10 Americans, you don't eat enough fruits and
