Many times people feel overloaded with recommendations - alternative therapies, such as chakra balancing, colonics, counseling, electromagnetics, facials, hypnotherapy, massages, seaweed wraps, spas, vacations, etc. - and they throw up their hands, "How can I afford all that?!" Actually this is all part of holistic health, and being able to afford all of this is part of holistic healing. The term holistic includes social balance as well, how we relate to each other in our personal relationship, our family, our community, our society, and our planet. And, the medium of "energy exchange" that we have for all these aspects of our being - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and social - is money. So true holistic well-being must also include financial health.
The Story Begins and Ends with Minerals
"From dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return." (Genesis 3:19) The Hebrew word ahfar has been translated as: dust. The real meaning is:minerals!
During my years as a health enthusiast, one thing has become crystal clear. Even if we eat organic foods, we may still be mineral starved, because our soils are lacking many trace elements.
On average 40-60% of traditional supplements contain additional ingredients that possess no nutritive value. The majority of makers of pills, tablets or capsules have standard-sized molds for their supplements - meaning that after the small amount of "nutrient" is added, non-nutritive materials, called excipients, are then added to make up the difference. To have a certain sized tablet, other things beside the nutrients must be added to fill up the space. What is added may be surprising. These excipients act as insoluble binders, lubricants, colorants, preservatives and flavoring agents. Their purposes include filling up space in the mold, helping the machinery run better, or aiding in the preservation of the tablet. These fillers may help the machines run smoothly and help keep water out of the products, but do not usually benefit human cells and tissues. Many of these excipients interfere with digestion because they are not water-soluble. These substances bind and coat nutrients, making them virtually insoluble in water, and actually interfere with the normal digestive process. Furthermore, recent studies have shown these substances are used so commonly in so many products, people are actually developing allergies (food intolerances) to them and may not even be aware of it. Even the plastic molds used for traditional tablet manufacturing must be sprayed with a releasing agent - another form of wax or grease that allows the pill to "drop" out of the mold!
As an example, look at the ingredients of the best-selling calcium supplement on the market: 1) Calcium carbonate is nothing more than blackboard chalk or crushed limestone. It is insoluble in water and unusable by the body. This may well contribute to bone spurs, calcification of joints, kidney stones, hardening of the arteries and even gallstones! 2) Maltodextrin is a type of sugar that gets sticky when wet and helps glue the product together. On average 50% of tablets aren't even nutrients. They are filled with glues like providone or some type of sugar, as well as flow agents like magnesium stearate or calcium stearate to help the powders run smoothly through the machine. 3) Cellulose is a common non-nutrient filler to help take up space. The majority of pill, tablet and capsule manufacturers have standardized molds for their supplements with specific size requirements, hence the need for fillers. 4) Soy Polysaccharides are another sticky substance to help hold it all together. 5) Hydroxymethyl propyl cellulose is a waxy coating agent to help keep water out. Similar substances like magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and stearic acid, are all wax-like substances that coat nutrients, making them virtually insoluble in water. Obviously, these substances interfere with the normal digestive processes, making it nearly impossible for the body to use. 6) Corn starch is another filler. Fillers are excipients, which act as insoluble binders, lubricants, colorants, preservatives and flavoring agents. The majority of these fillers are derived from sugars, starches, yeasts or powders of which the consumer is unaware. 7) Polyethylene glycol is a compound that is related to antifreeze. It is a waxy substance used extensively in the cosmetic and toiletry industry. It is also used to stabilize wood to prevent cracking or shrinking. If this is TMI or otherwise intimidating, indeed bordering on insanity, there is an answer that may be contrary to popular opinion.
Size Does Matter...Smaller is Better
Each tablet taken or colloidal mineral consumed has nutrients that are crushed and bound to other substances. One of the biggest challenges for nutrients to be used by the body is their particle size. Nutrients in the body must be in the appropriate size to enter the tissues and, more importantly, the cells. Minerals in their recognizable and most usable ionic form are angstrom-sized particles. If particle sizes are too large, they can circulate throughout the body and be deposited in the soft tissues, contributing to such things as cardiovascular disease and bone spurs. Research indicates the particle size in supplements on the market may be prohibiting consumers from receiving positive benefits. Crushed up minerals, minerals bound to other substances and bound up by fillers are much too large for the body to use without significant modification. Unfortunately, supplements evaluated containing oyster shell, dolomite, calcium carbonate, limestone, colloidal, and sea-bed minerals are all of questionable size when it comes to the body assimilating these large particles. Nutrients must be "recognized" by the body for proper absorption and use. For most minerals, this recognition process involves the mineral possessing an electrical charge, or being "ionic." This ionic state is a physical characteristic of the mineral that helps the body recognize it as a nutrient. However, for this process to effectively occur, the mineral must be water-soluble. The single biggest challenge in ionizing tablets, pills, chelates, or colloidal mineral products is the fact their mineral ingredients are many times simply crushed up rock or artificial nutrients. In addition, they may be permanently bound to fillers or binding agents and cannot be ionized by the body due to their insoluble nature. The mystery of nutrition and good supplementation has been solved. Enlightened consumers today realize that 1) water-solubility, 2) an ionic charge, and 3) correct particle size, are the preferred characteristics for nutrient delivery to the cells. While chelates and colloids are measured in microns, Eniva has refined the technology to bring pure elemental minerals to the angstrom size. This has been compared, roughly, to the difference between a watermelon and a bb; more accurately, it is similar to the difference between a mile and a 16th of an inch! Being at the angstrom size, (some minerals are 50-100 angstroms or more; even at that 6 inches is still just a fraction of a mile!) the body is able to mimic the action of the rootlet hairs of plants, and absorb the minerals directly into the cells. Bypassing the digestive system, these angstrom-sized minerals absorb directly through the upper portion of the stomach. The number of cell-ready parts per million (ppm) is what makes the Eniva products an outstanding value. All the standard recommendations of RDAs and mg's are virtually tossed out the door; they are based on 6-10% absorption!
Why Network Marketing?
A few years ago, Donald Trump appeared on the David Letterman Show and David asked Mr. Trump, "You have been involved in real estate for many years and have made millions and millions of dollars; tell me, if you had it to do over again, would you?" And he answered, "Actually, no; I would get involved in network marketing!" The reason is simple. You get the largest return for the smallest investment. Invest 7-10 hours a week for 2-4 years (double the hours, divide the years), and a couple of thousand dollars, and you can set yourself up with a residual income in the range of 3-5 thousand per month, with the actuality of a growing network that will bring exponential growth to your monthly check. To comprehend how this works, look at arithmetic growth and geometric growth. Would you rather have: $200,000 per day for thirty days or a penny doubled every day for thirty days. The first is an example of arithmetic growth: $200,000 times 30 equals $6,000,000 - a pretty chunk of change, indeed. If you opted for geometric growth with the penny doubled for thirty days: At the end of week 1: you would collect $1.27; at the end of week 2: you would collect $162.56; at the end of week 3: $20,807.68; at the end of week 4: $2,663,382.70; day 29: $5,326,765.40; and day 30: $10,653,530.80. So for a penny doubled every day for 30 days, you would have over $18,000,000! Network Marketing is based on the pattern of geometric growth. The Eniva Corporation has chosen Network Marketing, or Referral Marketing, for many reasons. Traditional marketing allocates 60% of the retail price to advertising, warehousing and "middle men" distribution. Network Marketing allocates that 60% of the retail price to the Network: those who have done the word of mouth advertising. This brings financial security to those who choose to work smarter rather than harder. It also brings large amounts of money to conscious people, those with a Vision who are working to manifest their dreams, making this world a peaceful, prosperous place. You can establish independence from "the system": rush hour, 5 or 6 days a week, trading hours for dollars, unsure of the future - and cash in on the growth in health care consciousness and the exponential growth of residual income. Professionals, even doctors and lawyers, who are known to get a considerable sum per hour, know that if they take an extended vacation, or if family matters require them to be away for awhile, they are not paid; they get paid only when they work. They realize the potential with referral marketing and many of them are preparing for a marvelous future.
The Benefits
With Network Marketing, you have the opportunity to:
* Be your own boss: when you own your business, you are in control of your work and your life.
* Choose the hours you work: a minimum of 7-10 hours per week when you are comfortable working.
* Work with those you choose: family, friends, those you admire and respect.
* Realize the potential of a lifetime, walk-away residual income: whether or not you choose to work, or go on an extended vacation, the checks keep coming.
* Enjoy great tax advantages: a home-based business is the last form of tax relief available to the average person.
* Travel at the "expense" of your business: establish a business branch in cities you enjoy, and travel there with tax write-offs.
* Succeed by empowering others to succeed: this is one of life's most satisfying and rewarding experiences.
This is an excellent example of what Richard Poe speaks of in his classic The Wave 4 Way to Building Your Downline. He also wrote Wave 3: The New Era in Network Marketing. The most important chapter in this "must read" book is the last one: It's More Than Money. An example of residual income is found with actors, musicians, singers and writers, who live off the royalties from their works. Others are born into wealth. They live off the rent from their real estate; or their stocks and bonds bring interest and a monthly (quarterly) residual check. If they have $120,000 invested and earn 10% annual interest, they will realize $1,000 monthly income. If they have $600,000 invested, they will realize $5,000 per month. If they have $1 million invested, they will realize $8,333.33 per month. This kind of income is relatively easy after a few years in Network Marketing. Are you ready to live like a millionaire? Most people are caught in the "time for money trap." They trade their time for dollars. The only way to make ends meet is to work harder and longer. Many are working 60-70 hours per week, and in most families both parents are working. Even if they dearly love what they do, they get paid only when they work. If a family emergency arises or if an extended holiday of a month or two is beckoning, do they get paid? They don't own their jobs; their jobs own them. This is the "time for money trap" producing "temporary income." This situation is compounded by the fact that people typically spend more than they earn, pay exorbitant interest rates and have little money set aside for retirement. Most live under the double shadow of "downsizing," as well as teetering Social Security. It is wonderful if you have the good fortune to live off your royalties and / or investments, enabling you to fulfill your Dreams. If you are well compensated for your work and truly enjoy what you do, and look forward to the future with security, wonderful. If you are currently in the "time for money trap" you have choices. One choice requires $100,000 or more to purchase a franchise. In addition to the initial investment, it also requires a bit of time to set yourself up with trustworthy workers who can manage your business. You can then "more or less" retire. Few realize that the "franchise system" was almost defeated at the Federal level; by a narrow margin, it was eventually declared to be a legitimate way of doing business in our free enterprise system. Another choice requires a couple of thousand dollars over a few years time to create residual income through Network Marketing, that also, by a narrow margin, was declared to be a legitimate way of doing business in our free enterprise system.
Some have a negative concept about Network Marketing or Multi-Level-Marketing because it is seen as a pyramid scheme. While it is true that some schemes are scams, most are perfectly legal. In fact the British use the word scheme to describe what our dictionaries tell us: "a systematic plan of action," "an orderly combination of related parts or elements." It is simple to distinguish the schemes that are scams from those that are legal. The scams will ask for money to pay for "commodities" that lack a basis in reality - such as buying "seats" in the Airplane Game, or sending $100 (or even $5) to the name at the top of the list, adding yours to the bottom and sending the letter to twenty people, with the promise that abundance will follow. Or the scams will ask for money up front to "assure" you that you will be in the "executive position" and that your business will rapidly grow - such as "investing" $3,000, buying 30 "FundAmerica" credit cards, that are then to be re-sold at $100 each, with the promise of 1% royalties on every purchase, forever! Legitimate networking revolves around real products or services with a minimal distributor fee, if any. You are on the first level in your sponsor's network and you are set up as the CEO of your own business - it is up to you to work your business, with your sponsor's support, your upline support, and with the support materials provided by the company. Your network will spread as wide as your imagination will allow, and, if you build wide and strong, as deep as the infinity bonus. The notion of a pyramid structure is familiar to most of us, whether it's the Pentagon with the President as the Commander in Chief, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the most decorated general down to the brigadier general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, etc. down to the enlisted soldier. Or in business, it's the CEO at top with several presidents overseeing the various aspects of the business, vice-presidents, managers, etc, down to the workers and custodial staff. The usual procedure is to "start at the bottom" and "work your way up." It sounds almost romantic, certainly empowering, to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps." The reality is fierce competition that necessitates "stepping on others' toes," all the while haunted by insecurities based on the knowledge that others would do almost anything (cheat, lie, sabotage, steal) to get your position. With Network Marketing you start at the top as the CEO, and create your own network by empowering others and teaching them to do the same. You can be successful only when others in your network are successful. It is a classic example of a win-win situation.
Network Marketing works because we listen to our friends and those we trust. Being massively bombarded by Madison Avenue's slick advertising, our buying resistance is up. We are ready for a change from the old, tired system. We are ready for commerce based on communication and trust, rather than manipulation and sensory assault. Network Marketing works because with word of mouth advertising we can usually assess sincerity and truthfulness. Network Marketing is one of the most powerful ways to distribute goods and services in the 21st century. In fact, Network Marketing recently accounted for over $100 billion in sales, more than the Big Three automakers combined! Let's take a look at our traditional marketing system and see the difference.
With the traditional distribution system, when we buy products in a store, 35% of the total consumer cost goes to the manufacturer, for parts and labor. The other 65% goes to advertising executives, artists, newspapers, magazines, radio and TV, manufacturer's representatives, shipping, warehouse, jobbers or salespersons, distribution centers and the store. The price goes up each time the item changes hands. In Network Marketing the manufacturer still gets 35%, transportation accounts for 5% and the remaining 60% goes to the consumers, the distributors who did the work: word of mouth advertising. This is far from a get-rich-quick-scheme. It takes discipline, effort, punctuality and accountability. Stand with perseverance in your wish fulfilled, and eventually your Dream will manifest. With the Eniva Corporation you are in business for yourself, rather than by yourself.
This is an example of the best win-win working relationship of all time. I get to be successful when you succeed, and you will become successful by assisting others to succeed. It's actually fun to be in this business. Imagine when someone asks what you do for a living, or what you do to make life interesting. You can answer: "I help others establish a home-based business, connected with an established company, helping restore balance on the planet. I am part of a team, training and assisting people until they become financially independent." The true Networker sorts rather than sells. Rather than talking someone into something, the true Networker is looking for those who are looking for an alternative to the way things are currently going and a company that offers quality products for radiant health - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The greatest stressor today that erodes health is a feeling of a shortage of time and money.
Referral Marketing offers an opportunity to step outside the present economic environment, an opportunity to step into a new way of doing business that creates permanent, walk-away, "drink from a coconut," residual income. This is your access to true financial independence and personal growth through assisting others to succeed. This is an opportunity to Design Your Destiny.
