Good day, Healthy People!

Good news for you:  Terra-bioTech can help the average man and woman solve a BIG problem they have. How about this article from Webmd:

May 25, 2012 -- Fifty-two percent of Americans responding to an online survey said they think it's easier to do their own taxes than it is to figure out how to eat healthfully.

Men, people lacking a college degree, overweight or obese adults, and people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or high cholesterol were most likely to say they find it harder to know what foods they should or should not be eating.

These findings were released this month as part of the International Food Information Council Foundation's 2012 Food & Health Survey. Designed to help gauge Americans' attitudes and beliefs about their diet, health, and food choices, this yearly web-based survey was completed in April by more than 1,000 men and women aged 18 to 80.

Although they consider themselves to be in good health, about one in four people said their diet is extremely or very healthful, while about one in five rated their diet as not at all or not too healthful.

If you're like me -- can't imagine anything more complex than doing my own taxes -- then that first paragraph is a scary thought!

How awesome that Nectr Core can take care of that quandry.  A Core a day and cut back on your food portions.  Do that, and run around the house a bit and you can upgrade your health quotient!

Note:  most parents were far more concerned about the nutrition of their kids than of themselves.

 NEWS FROM THE HEALTH INDUSTRY:

Even if we weren't TBT reps, we'd like this headline:

Senate Strikes Down Durbin's Dietary Supplement Amendment (05/29/12) 

This was a blatant big-pharmaceutical-lobby play to limit your freedoms.  And protect their big bucks.  (Sigh.)  For once, Congress did the right thing!

NEWS FROM THE MARKETING INDUSTRY:

How far back do you need to go to find the start of direct selling, or network marketing, in the US?   How about to the 1700s:

1700s - The Yankee Peddler

The Yankee peddler is an iconic symbol of New England in the 18th and 19th centuries. These young men set out with their wares secured to their person or perched on wobbly carts. They followed the pioneers westward, serving as a conduit for goods, services and news between sometimes distant homesteads and the nearest towns.
Even though colonial households were much more self-sufficient than those of today, the need for finished goods, such as cast iron pans, pins and other notions, books and glassware, was nearly universal, making a visit from a peddler passing by a welcome sight.
Along with the things he offered for sale the peddler was also a source of social contact for people who rarely traveled far from their home.
“A peddler was usually welcome at the home of virtually any settler. In the first place his goods were needed, his news from the city eagerly

awaited, and isolated pioneers were always glad to have the company. He did not have the social status of the settled merchant, but he was by no means a tramp or a ne’er-do-well—indeed most peddlers were of a respectable family background, and were peddlers only when young; sooner or later, when they had found a suitable spot, they settled down. Nowadays the word peddler is somewhat derogatory…But through the greater part of the nineteenth century things were not that way at all. A peddler was invited into a settler’s home, seated and given a glass of cider while the housewife called her husband from the fields and the family gathered just to look at a man who had actually been in Marietta or Warren and could tell them all the news and gossip for miles around. After even a few weeks of training the peddler would have learned just how long he could permit this to go on before he opened his pack, or led them out to the wagon and got started on his real business in life.”

Was it Brad who told us the other day about a grandfather or great-grandfather who bought shoes that were 'seconds' from the shoe factory and went to small towns in MO/AR selling them.  He always found young men in need of jobs.  He hit on the idea of getting them to go out to towns and sell the shoes and bring the money bucket back to him, which he would then divide with them.  (The world's first multi-level marketer?  Could be.)

 Had a very welcome call from SVP Kim Mack (NoCal) yesterday.  Kim's hubby was diagnosed with cancer last year, and not given a very good prognosis.  He was beaten down with the treatments as well as the disease when Brad Clements and Robyn Cooper both sent her some Terra-bioTech Nectr.  At the time her hubby could only lie around the house:  he had given up on his hobby, of course could not work, and was uninterested in anything at all because he was so weak and ill.  After just 3 days on the Core he was up, outside, and doing things again.  


It has now been one year since he was diagnosed and he's doing very well.   In fact, Kim states, there was a treatment that they had heard about that she wanted to get him into, but he was rejected by the doctors because  he was considered too weak and not a good candidate.  After a few weeks on Core, she submitted him again -- and he was accepted!   He has had the treatment and is doing well.  

Kim also mentioned a use for Calm that we hadn't heard of before.  Toward the end of the 6-week chemo treatment, which was very difficult for them in all kinds of ways, not least of which she had to keep working, the treatment was in a distant town, etc., she was just 'frazzled' one day.  She felt she was coming apart at the seams --- couldn't keep on, couldn't even make it through that day.

She had a little bottle of Calm in her purse.  She sat and looked at it and decided "What the heck."  She had never taken it before, and it wasn't night.  She drank it anyway and after about half an hour, felt her tensed muscles loosen, felt her whole body relax and be at peace, and her headache go away.  No, she didn't sleep, but she did have a day protected from the stressful situation they were in.

Kim has so much more to share!  If you get a chance to hear Kim and Steve's story on one of the Conference Calls, be sure to listen in and get guests on with you.   She is a reall 'upper'!  Her TBT biz is named 'quality of life' and that's where Terra-bioTech has met her need:  in the quality of life for Steve.   (http://myterrabiz.com/qualityoflife)
