This Week on My Internet Radio Show - Another Side to Altzheimer's

Just hearing the words Alzheimer's Disease can cause grown men and women to shake. Yes, it's heart-breaking, but there may be another way to understand it and learn from it.

My guest, author Cathie Borrie, took care of her mother for seven years. She discovered a side of Alzheimer's that became an unexpectedly fascinating journey.

From her experiences she wrote the book The Long Hello-The Other Side of Alzheimer's, which was a finalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Literary Awards.

Join me as we talk to Cathie about her experiences and how ballroom dancing played a role in her relating to her mom. Learn more about Cathie Borrie at her website http://www.CathieBorrie.com .

As a Teplitz report subscriber, I’d like to offer you the opportunity to receive an email from me once a week announcing my guest for the next show. Just click here to register.
 

Coronary Disease And L-arginine

Since I’m writing about the heart, let’s explore another way to heal it. A study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology found that the long-term use of L-arginine supplements reduced the risk to patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

L-arginine is an amino acid that is the precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a gas released by the body to help promote healthy blood vessel flexibility and dilation. The improvement noted in the study was associated with a decrease in systolic blood pressure, peripheral vascular resistance as well as a decrease in aldosterone levels.

The only time not to use L-arginine is if you are experiencing an active herpes infection.

So… you now have two ways to protect your heart in one newsletter!
 

Think About Summer Sun…Now, Think Of No Damage From The Sun

Two things about this sentence stand out. One, it’s March and it’s still cold, and two, too much such can cause damage to the skin. Well, it being March is true, but sun damage may become a thing of the past.

It turns out humans lack a key enzyme found in many animals and plants that reverses severe sun damage. Research published in Nature reported that scientists were able to observe the enzyme photolyase inject a single electron and proton into an injured strand of DNA. These subatomic particles healed the damage in a fraction of a second. After the repair is done the electron and the proton are automatically ejected out of the DNA and back into the photolyase enzyme so it’s ready to use again.

For readers who are old enough to remember it, the statement comes to mind of…”who was that masked man” or in this case…”what was that enzyme.”
 

The Fountain Of Youth May Be In Your Nose

A study published by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation discovered that beauty and the perception of being younger may not be in the eyes of the beholder but in the nose of the beholder.

The researchers found that women wearing a grapefruity fragrance were perceived by as being an average of 6 years younger. Two fragrances that have this grapefruity scent are Eau de Parfum Light Citrus Floral by Aubrey Organics or Trillium fragrances or you can just go out and buy a grapefruit (probably pink), cut and squeeze.

Women Are More At Risk For Concussions Than Men

While pro football players having concussions has been in the news recently, women may be more at risk than men. It turns out that women have smaller frames and neck muscles than men, which may make them more prone to concussions.

In addition, once a woman is injured, the effects can be much more severe. A 2010 study found that women took longer than men to recover from concussions. This was especially true for women of child-bearing age. Women also performed worse than men with comparable injuries on neurological tests.

Part of the problem is that women may ignore their concussion’s symptoms thinking things will get better. Here are the symptoms of a concussion:

Headaches
Dizziness
Trouble concentrating
Feeling over-stimulated by lights and noises
Memory loss, especially of the accident itself

So if you’re a woman and have had an accident, if you have one of these symptoms, then get yourself to a doctor.

The Least Productive Time Of The Day

It’s official – the lease productive time of the day for workers is the 4 to 6 pm time period (big surprise, huh?).  In a survey of 1,000 managers by Accountemps, they found that 37% of the managers said the 4 to 6 time was the least productive followed by 28% saying it was the 2 to 4 time slot.

The most productive time period is 10 to noon. So what do most people do in the afternoon…they go get a cup of coffee or a caffeinated soda.

Let me suggest a couple of alternative options. The first is to take a five to ten minute meditation break. Since you quickly go to a deeper state than the deepest state of sleep, it’s a great way to re-energize yourself.

The second is to change the office lighting to full spectrum fluorescent tubes. The research that we’ve done shows that late afternoon fatigue disappears and late afternoon productivity soars.

To learn how to meditate, you can purchase my new book, Managing Your Stress In Difficult Times: Succeeding In Times of Change on Amazon. For the tubes, you can go to www.jtv-energy-lights.com  for more information.

 

Sending Thoughts Can Affect The Growth Of Lettuce Seeds

If you've been at one of my seminars, you may have seen me demonstrate how the sending of thoughts can impact another person. An experiment was done by Lynne McTaggart at a seminar she was conducting for 100 people that gives further validation to the sending of thoughts. In her experiment McTaggart, who was conducting the seminar in New York State, had the attendees focus on seeds which were in England with the following intention in mind: "My intention is for all seeds in our target group to sprout at least three inches by the fourth day of growing."

The researcher found that the focused intention caused significantly larger seed growth overall in both the intention seeds and even in the control seeds as compared to earlier experiments where the intention was not as specific.

To me, this means it's important that you are clear about what you are focusing on. The old adage applies - be careful what you pray for, you might just get it.
 

Feedback From Readers On The Teplitz Report

Like these folks, if you appreciate the information you receive, I’d appreciate it if you’d ask your network of friends to sign up for it.

"Thanks so much for sending me your fantastic newsletters. I can't tell you how many wonderful and useful ideas I have learned and used from them."
BJ Stober

"Your articles are not only informative but useful to pass along to many of my high school students in my Career and Life Management class. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and positive messages. You make a difference."
Dorothea Cooney


Somehow one of my monthly Teplitz Report readers received an erroneously sent email message from us confirming that he had asked to be deleted from the list. It was fun and gratifying for me to read his response. He wrote “I never sent a message asking to be deleted. I LOVE YOUR E-ZINE.  It is one of just a few I read absolutely every month! You are one of my deepest inspirations…I would be greatly upset to be removed from your wonderful publication.”

Thanks, BJ, Dorothea and Bart. It’s feedback like yours that inspires me to continue doing these monthly reports!
 

April Switched-On Selling & Network Marketing Seminar & Instructor Training Scheduled

I’m conducting my Switched-On Selling and Network Marketing Seminars in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on April 15.  Make sure you take advantage of the early bird special registration fee and you may win a F.R.E.E. copy of my #1 Amazon book Switched-On Selling: Balance Your Brain For Sales Success! Both classes are taught at the same time on April 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you’d like to become certified to teach these seminars, the Instructor Training will be April 15 to 17, also in Toronto. http://www.linkbee.com/Instructor

Feedback From A Participant:  Here's what Serge Gravelle, President/CEO of My Mall Network Corporation, had to say about the Switched-On Selling Seminar:

"The results were instantaneous; within 24 hours, we had closed seven contracts, seven times more than we had done during the preceding eight months. By the end of the week, we had signed eighteen contracts. The best part is that I enjoyed making the sales, a feeling I had a hard time experiencing in the past."

Local Company Blows The Competition Out Of The Water

A year ago August during the middle of the recession, Kevin Kordek, CEO A-Active Termite and Pest Control, put half his sales force through the one-day Switched-On Selling Seminar. I spoke to him last August and Kordek told me that six of the eight people immediately jumped to above his top tier salespeople. Next, his company became the #1 distributor in the country on two of his high-end product lines, and one of his salespeople increased his closing percentage by 300 percent!

Was there anything special or different about these sales people?  Kordek said “no, ” they were middle level sales people before they attended the one day seminar.
