Good close to the Double Fast Start last night --- a bunch of folks will have big checks this Friday. How about you?! Can't wait to see the next fun thing Warren has lined up for NectrHeadz.
***********
Revving up for big California visit by Warren and Jamie Nugent next week -- Aug. 9-11. Warren has something 'special' for everyone who comes to the events as or with guests, so be sure to fill up your car and bring a passel of guests with you. Also, be sure to RSVP when you can to take advantage of those Free samples.

SETTING UP NECTRHEADZ WEBINAR FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. Details posting here shortly!
**********
Over the weekend I was sent two other businesses to look at by two gentleman from our network marketing past. They are both awesome gents. However, one was a telecom service and the other was a ?? service (I couldn't get a handle on exactly what it was). The sad thing was, I was interested in being a customer for them and wanted them to be a customer of mine -- that's just good manners! -- but had to tell both that I didn't have a place in my life for what their companies are offering.
Where's the good stuff out there?
RIGHT HERE AT TERRA BIO-TECH!
We have our hands on the best thing out there -- incredibly so!

| Will Seastrom getting ready to go climb with Rize. -- Linda Montgomery in ID |
Isn't this an awesome t-shirt for this mountain climbing team? Linda is making t-shirts (there is a logo on the front, too,will see if I can upload it here) for the team so that all the others kids can find out about Rize. The boys have been using Rize and it is giving them a leg up!
FROM THE 'EDUCATE YOURSELF' FILE:
Let's start the week off with a new word from your Core ingredients list. (To see all of the ingredients, go to your TBT website and click on "more info" about the products. The interactive list is awesome.)
But here's what Wikipedia -- a totally uninterested source, can we agree? -- has to say about Quercetin:
***************Preliminary research
Antiviral
In a 2007 study that assessed the anti-Hepatitis B effects of Hyperoside, and that was published in the Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, it was shown that Hyperoside (which is the 3-O-galactoside of quercetin) is a strong inhibitor of HBsAg and HBeAg secretion in 2.2.15 cells. [18]
In another study also published in 2007 in the Archives of Pharmacal Research it was shown that quercetin, quercitrin and myricetin 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside displayed inhibition against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, all with IC50 values of 60 microM. [19]
Cancer
The American Cancer Society says while quercetin "has been promoted as being effective against a wide variety of diseases, including cancer," and "some early lab results appear promising, as of yet there is no reliable clinical evidence that quercetin can prevent or treat cancer in humans." In the amounts consumed in a healthy diet, quercetin "is unlikely to cause any major problems or benefits."[20]
In laboratory studies of cells in vitro, quercetin produces changes that are also produced by compounds that cause cancer (carcinogens), but these studies do not report increased cancer in animals or humans.[21][22][23]
From laboratory studies is conjecture that quercetin may affect certain mechanisms of cancer.[24][25] An 8-year study found the presence of three flavonols — kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin — in a normal diet was associated with 23% reduced risk of pancreatic cancer, a rare but frequently fatal disease, in tobacco smokers.[26] There was no benefit in subjects who had never smoked or had previously quit smoking.
In vitro, cultured skin and prostate cancer cells were suppressed (compared to nonmalignant cells) when treated with a combination of quercetin and ultrasound.[27]
In laboratory culture studies, quercetin increased the sensitivity of resistant colorectal tumors with microsatellite instability to the chemotherapy drug, 5-fluorouracil.[28]
Inflammation
Several laboratory studies show quercetin may have anti-inflammatory properties,[29][30] and it is being investigated for a wide range of potential health benefits.[30][31]
Quercetin has been reported to be of use in alleviating symptoms of pollinosis.[32] An enzymatically modified derivative was found to alleviate ocular but not nasal symptoms of pollinosis.[33][34][35]
Studies done in test tubes have shown quercetin may affect immune cells from releasing histamines which might influence symptoms of allergies.[36][37]
A study with rats showed that quercetin effectively reduced immediate-release niacin (vitamin B3) flush, in part by means of reducing prostaglandin D2 production.[38] A pilot clinical study of four humans gave preliminary data supporting this.[39]
Quercetin may have properties of a calcineurin inhibitor, similar to cyclosporin A and tacrolimus, according to one laboratory study.[40]
Fibromyalgia
Quercetin may be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia because of its potential anti-inflammatory or mast cell inhibitory properties shown in laboratory studies.[41]
Metabolic syndrome
Quercetin has been shown to increase energy expenditure in rats, but only for short periods (fewer than 8 weeks).[29] Effects of quercetin on exercise tolerance in mice have been associated with increased mitochondrial biogenesis.[30] In mice, an oral quercetin dose of 12.5 to 25 mg/kg increased gene expression of mitochondrial biomarkers and improved exercise endurance.[42]
It has also been claimed that quercetin reduces blood pressure in hypertensive[43] and obese subjects in whom LDL cholesterol levels were also reduced.[44]
An in vitro study showed quercetin and resveratrol combined inhibited production of fat cells.[45]
A 12-week study of 941 adults found that supplements of 500 to 1000 milligrams of quercetin with vitamin C and niacin did not cause any significant difference in body mass or composition[46] and had no significant effect on inflammatory markers, diagnostic blood chemistries, blood pressure, and blood lipid profiles.[47]
More later....
