Puncturing Some Myths About Aging
A survey conducted by the AARP and University of Southern California has exposed a number of myths we have about aging. The first myth was that a majority of older people live in poverty. The truth is less than 14 percent were living in poverty. The second myth is the belief that 1 in 10 elders are institutionalized. The truth is that fewer than 1 in 20 people age 65 and older are in long-term care facilities. The third myth is that older people have no capacity for sex. The truth is that 86% of those who are 45 and older engage in sexual activity at least once a week.

So...it appears that it's time to relax and skip worrying about aging. The truth is much brighter than the myths. As a matter of fact, since elders are staying

active for so much longer, it may be time to start planning for what you are going to do with the rest of your longer, healthy life. Are there hobbies you have neglected or organizations you'd like to have the time to volunteer for? If so, your years as an elder may be the time to do all those things that you've said "if I only had the time." By doing what you love and by helping others, not only can you live longer, you also have the potential to be the happiest that you’ve ever been in your life.

Asthma Linked To The Plastics We Breathe
Asthma is rampant in our society. Between 1980 and 1994 the incident of asthma among pre-school aged children rose 160%. With 9 million kids now diagnosed with the disease, asthma is now the leading cause of illness in children.

What's causing this epidemic? First a little background. Plastics are manufactured with a substance called phthalates.  Readily released by plastic products, phthalates make plastic flexible so that it can be shaped into anything from siding to flooring to food wrap to soft plastic toys. The problem is that phthalates are readily able to volatize. An example is the "new car smell" which is actually coming from phthalate vapors in the vinyl dashboard.

A large study of Swedish children found that house dust contaminated by phthalate is associated with a higher rate of asthma and eczema. This study examined 400 children between 3-8 years old who were living in 390 buildings. About 50% of the kids had asthma or other persistent allergy symptoms. The researchers found that the homes the kids with asthma were in had the higher levels of phthalates. The higher the level of phthalates, the more likely the children were to have asthma or allergies.

The fix on this one will have to come from forcing the manufacturers to find non-toxic substitutes for phthalate. It may help to start the ball rolling if you email or write your representative in Washington . So... until that happens, and for the health of your children, attempt to keep the amount of plastic you use in your house to as low a level as possible.

New Clarity About Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
People who have chronic fatigue syndrome have had to live with a lot of skepticism and doubt from others that they do, in fact, have a real disease. A report in the Journal of Clinical Pathology may change all that. Researchers in the study found that certain genes in white blood cells are much more active in people with chronic fatigue than in healthy people. So... for people with chronic fatigue, it's good news to know that it's not all in your head.

Mid-Winter Blahs Time Is Approaching
We're have just changed from Daylight Savings time back to Standard Time. This is a signal that winter is on its way and, with winter, comes the mid-winter blahs. There is one easy way to beat the blahs and that's to change the lighting in your home or office to full-spectrum tubes and bulbs. The correct full-spectrum lighting will give you feeling of brightness that you get when on a summer vacation. Several of our clients that have the tubes call them their "happy lights".

Our research shows that with these tubes lighting your work areas, late afternoon fatigue levels disappear while productivity levels are soar!  Think about it: With the hourly salaries employees are being paid, what is the value of having them sit under tubes that are actually causing them to be less productive in the late afternoon. Full-spectrum tubes can become the equivalent of a profit center for your company.

I've arranged a special deal for you with my supplier. By ordering at least one case of any size full-spectrum tubes by November 25, you will receive a special discount of 25% off the regular price. There is a limit of three cases per address. To receive your discount, go to https://teplitz.com/JTVlightsdiscount.html and when it asks for the discount code, enter in lower case - lightsjtv - to receive your discount.  Keep in mind you'll still receive a 60-day money-back guarantee and you will see that you will start seeing them as the "Happy Lights" too!

This is the last announcement about the Switched-On Selling and Network Marketing Seminars and Instructor Certification Trainings in Danbury CT in mid-November. These trainings are brain rewiring programs that use the Brain Gym technology to create new and immediate increases in your level of success! For information and to register, go to www.Teplitz.com/switched-main.htm. On this site, you'll also find the research study that I did with over 350 salespeople validating the amazing results seminar participants have achieved. A pilot study on the tremendous results for Network Marketers who have taken the seminar is also on that same page.

Here's what Jay Horton, an insurance agent who has been in the business for eighteen years, said about the SOS Seminar: "My reason for taking your Seminar was to try and overcome my call reluctance that I had struggled with all my career.  After the Seminar, it became necessary to 'get on the phone' and book appointments for presentations.  The ease with which I was able to make those calls and the positive responses that I received from the people I was calling was truly amazing.  Literally, I had a 100% positive response to the calls I made. 

This Seminar has completely changed my feeling of self-esteem and self-worth and it is quite vividly evident in the response I am getting from the people I am contacting.  I would recommend that anyone and everyone be encouraged to take the Seminars you offer because they are literally 'life changing' and will produce noticeable, positive results immediately."

So...don't miss this opportunity to dramatically increase your sales. This is the seminar that really does immediately change your level of success in the selling and network marketing game.

Seminar Date:  Switched-On Selling and Switched-On Network Marketing - both are given at the same time on November 18.
