Bulking Up Your Bones & Preventing Osteoporosis

Here’s a great way to increase your bone density – use strontium ranelate or strontium citrate. Researchers in Germany gave a group of men strontium ranelate. After 12 months the men who had taken strontium ranelate had a 22-23% greater increase in bone mass density in the lumbar spine and hip. They also had 30% fewer fractures and significantly greater reduction in back pain.

While strontium ranelate is sold as a drug in 70 countries around the world; the FDA has not approved it here. Your option in this country is to take strontium citrate which has a similar effect and can be purchased without a prescription.

Vinegar For Lowering Blood Sugar Levels And For Weight Loss

Vinegar can be used to lower blood sugar levels after eating a meal. It inhibits enzymes necessary for the digestion of starches and other complex carbohydrates preventing them from being broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Taken at bedtime it can also lower morning fasting blood sugar levels. All of this means that it may help prevent people from getting type-2 diabetes.

Vinegar also stimulates the burning of fat for weight loss. Researchers in Japan divided subjects into three groups. One group drank one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar each day and the other group drank 2 tablespoons. The third group drank a placebo. After 12 weeks the vinegar drinking groups had lost 4.4 pounds compared to the placebo group which reported no change. The researchers also found that one tablespoon per day was sufficient to achieve these results.

The amount of vinegar needed is one to two tablespoons per day which can be added to foods you are eating. One popular way of doing this is to add two teaspoons to a glass of water with a teaspoon or so of honey, mix well, and enjoy!

I’ve actually begun adding vinegar to my morning meal. So…please pass the apple cider vinegar!

 

Stopping Colds In Their Tracks By Exercising

Researchers reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine that regular exercise can cut the odds of catching a cold by 50%.

The researchers asked healthy volunteers to keep a record of any coughs and sniffles they experienced over a three-month period during fall and winter. The volunteers who were physically active on five or more days of the week had colds that lasted a total of 5 days out of the 3-month period, while the control group, who did little or no exercise during the same period, were affected by colds and sniffles for nine days.

As a side benefit, the exercisers who did get a cold cut the severity of the symptoms by 31%.

Finally, if you do get a cold, continuing to exercise even at lower level of intensity and time can make you feel better. So…just put one foot in front of the other and keep exercising.
 

Stopping Colds In Their Tracks Using An Essential Oil

Another way to stop the stuffy nose symptoms of a cold is to use a eucalyptus oil compress.

According to Ann Louise Gittelman, PhD, the oil’s natural anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties help open congested nasal passages.

What you need to do is dampen a washcloth with hot water and then place a drop or two of eucalyptus oil on the cloth. Place it by your nose and inhale…ahhhhh! Relief is just a breath away!

Healing Faster After Surgery

There are a number of things that you can do to speed up the healing process after surgery.

Here are some options you have:

1. Use hypnosis – Having a hypnotherapy session before surgery can reduce the need for anesthesia and result in less pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue afterward

2. Play Steven Halpern’s subliminal music CD Accelerated Self-Healing during and after the surgery. While the music will relax you, the subliminal messages will help to speed up the healing process.

3. Visualize your recovery - Many studies have shown that guided imagery helps decrease discomfort and the need for pain medication while also reducing the side effects and complications from surgery.

4. Meditate during and after the surgery - I personally have used this technique for years every time I have to go to the dentist and need to have a tooth filled or a crown put on. I have also used meditation twice when I had hernia surgeries. The doctor just injected Novocain on the area while I meditated. The doctor was surprised that I was able to maintain a very low heart rate and pulse rate during the entire surgery.

5. Use acupuncture points to help prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting from anesthesia. You’ll need to stimulate the acupressure point on the inside of the wrist called P6. You can get an acupressure wrist band at the pharmacy. Ask your doc if you can wear it during the surgery

6. Except for some vitamins and minerals that can thin your blood (ask your doc which those are), you can increase the vitamin and mineral supplements you are taking. One way to view surgery is that it is an internal remodeling job on your body. When you remodel a house you would make sure you have all the building materials available before you started the demolition work. The same thing applies to the body. You want to make sure you have all the materials available to allow the body to rebuild itself. That’s what vitamin and minerals are, your body’s building materials

So, here are my recommendation for pre- and post surgery:

Divide the following dosage recommendations by the number of meals that you eat each day. The vitamins and minerals will absorb better when you take them in smaller doses. Start taking them 10 days to 2 weeks before surgery. Continue taking them for several weeks afterwards. When you are finished healing, slowly taper off the vitamins. Take a week to 10 days to stop. (Actually, I'd recommend you continue because of the beneficial impact that the vitamins and minerals will have on your overall health. Just lower the dosages.)

1. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids – get 500 mg tablets of Vitamin C with 100 mg of bioflavonoids. Total per day - 2,000 to 4,000 mg

2. Vitamin E – 800 IU (make sure the label says d-alpha tocopherols. The "d" is the important piece as it means it’s natural).

4. Zinc – 30 mg

5. B-Complex – High potency - where most ingredients add up to 100 mg per day.

6. Multi Mineral – Ask for a high potency one.

7. Bromelain – 1,000 mg (Don't take if you are allergic to pineapple or papaya).

8. Vitamin D3 – 10,000 to 20,000 IU per day.

9. The amino acid arginine – 2 mg three times per day on an empty stomach.

To prevent bacteria and viral infections, take Echinacea and Astragalus. I’ve given this recipe to many people (including myself) and I’ve always gotten the same feedback – their doc was surprised at how fast they healed and the lack of any side effects or complications.

 

Protect Yourself and Your Family From Mosquitoes

It's mosquito time again and I’ve printed this information before, but in case you missed it or forgot it, here it is again.

I want to share with you some natural steps you can take to prevent mosquito bites. Yes, you can buy bug spray loaded with poisons, but do you really want that in or on your body when there are much safer options?

One option has recently been approved by the Center for Disease Control. Oil of eucalyptus offers a protection level that is similar to products with low concentrations of DEET. You can find it in Repel's Lemon Eucalyptus.

Two other options were reported in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers found that a soybean based product called Bite Blocker was the most effective and another product called Buzz Away was also effective.

Another natural alternative that I have written about in a previous Teplitz Email Report is a vitamin supplement called Vitamin B1. When you are going to be outside, all you need to do is take 100 mg every six to eight hours and it will protect you from being bitten.

The Army did the original research on vitamin B1 a number of years ago. They sent two groups of soldiers out into the bush for two weeks. One group was given bug goop and the other group took only Vitamin B1. When they came out of the bush, the group using the bug goop was covered with bug bites. The Vitamin B1 group had hardly any bites on them.

A couple of years ago, I went camping with some friends who have hiked the Appalachian Trail. They were willing to experiment and they took the Vitamin B1. Boy, were they surprised when they had no bites at all at the end of the weekend. Another friend was working as a camp counselor in Maine. She wrote me and said the B1 worked great for mosquitoes, and what did I have for gnats?

So you now have more tools to put into your prevention quiver.
 

You’re Crazy… If You Don’t Take The Next Opportunity To Attend the Switched-On Selling™ and Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars & Instructor Trainings In September 

I’ve never said this before - Because of the powerful impact of my Switched-On Selling™ (SOS) and Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars (SONM), you’ve got to be crazy to pass up the opportunity to take the class I’m conducting on September 9 in Virginia Beach, VA.

All you have to do to convince yourself is take the time to read all the research studies we’ve done over the last 22 years validating the impact of these training programs (Click here to read them now).

Let me put it this way - don’t spend another cent on a sales training seminar, CD, DVD or book until you’ve taken either the Switched-On Selling™ or Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars.

These seminars are absolutely unique, helping you to rewire your brain so that whatever is stopping you from being successful in sales or network marketing will be gone in minutes. Once you’ve finished the class, you can go back to learning the technique side of selling or network marketing and you’ll find it’s a breeze to actually do what you’re learning.

Let me give you one example of the impact that the Switched-On Selling™ Seminar had on Serge Gravelle, President/CEO of My Mall Network Corporation. Serge is a webmaster and had gone to a conference three times to market his web services without closing a single sale. Here’s what changed for Serge within 24 hours after attending the SOS Seminar:

“The results were instantaneous. At the end of the first day we had closed seven contracts, seven times more than we had done during the preceding eight months. By the end of the show, 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."

Let me share with you the actual statistics from a company that put their sales force through the SOS seminar during the middle of the worst recession since the depression.   Kevin Kordek is the CEO of A-Active Termite and Pest Control and the immediate past president of the National Pest Control Association. In August 2009, he decided to put half his sales force through the one-day Switched-On Selling™ Seminar. The results were so positive that Kevin put the rest of his people through the seminar in October.

I spoke to him over a year later and Kordek told me results started happening from the first group of eight sales people he put through the seminar. Kevin said six of them immediately jumped above his top-tier salespeople. They set an entirely new level of success within the company!

After putting the rest of the sales force through the seminar, he told me his company became the #1 distributor in the country on two of his high-end product lines, and that one of his salespeople even increased his closing percentage by 300 percent!

Keep in mind this was during the recession and the slow recovery while most of the other companies in the Pest Control industry were falling apart.

Was there anything special or different about Kevin’s sales people? I asked Kevin and he simply said “No. The first group was made up of mediocre sales people before they attended the one day SOS seminar.”

To help entice you to come to Virginia Beach September 9 to attend the class, I have set up an early bird registration fee plus for the first 10 people who register for either the SOS or SONM Seminars, you will also receive a F.R.E.E. copy of my Amazon #1 bestselling book Switched-On Selling: Balance Your Brain For Sales Success! (The material in both SOS and SONM are so similar that I teach them both at the same time on September 9).

For more information about the Switched-On Selling™ Seminar and to register, go to https://teplitz.com/sell.htm 

For more information about the Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminar and to register, go to https://teplitz.com/SWNM.htm

Remember, instead of being crazy for not attending the SOS or SONM Seminars, you can be labeled “Very Smart!”

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FLASH: If you are looking for a business opportunity you can become certified to teach these seminars, the Instructor Training will be September 9-11. Here’s the link for you to find out more about how you can become an Instructor. http://lnk.co/Instructor
