Our Gift to You this Christmas

2011-12-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

IsaFamily,

The Escobar Group wants to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We count you among our most precious blessings and thank you for your trust and loyalty towards us as your support line leaders.

As many of you know, The Escobars will not be attending the New Year Kickoff. Tony and Randi both had surgeries just recently. Tony had a hernia repaired that was caused by his son Sean requiring that he lift a heavy Washer and Dryer over his head. (Inside Joke) Randi had Complete Knee Replacement Surgery which was long overdue. Both are recovering wonderfully. If you are attending the NYK and have any questions or would like to be connected to others whom are attending please let Sean know. We will absolutely be present at the 10 Year Anniversary Celebration in August! Hope that you will all be in attendance with us, you will not want to miss it! The trick to having a giant team with you in attendance is to start getting commitments from your consultants as early as January of 2012. If make the mistake of waiting until Summer hits, you will not be able to compete with all prior commitments that people have made for the summer. Promoting such events can be HUGE for your business by the way. Inviting people to join us at the annual celebration should be common practice as you never know unless you ask. :)

As you know Crystal and Sean just had an early Christmas Present in their daughter Brooklyn being born. Sean is going to devote some time to ensuring that the transition for Crystal and the kids is a smooth one. He's still available to do phone calls throughout the day of course.

That brings me to the meaning of this message represented in the picture of Santa Holding a Magical Clock. Time. Time is precious. Time is a commodity. It's the most precious of all commodities really. Can you put a value on your time? Some might say, "yes well I earn $20 an hour at my job so my time is worth $20 an hour." I find that degrading myself. Surely you must realize that your time is priceless. What is time with your loved ones worth? What would time with past loved ones be worth? What is time away from loved ones worth to you? You see, the most precious gift that you can give to people is your time. It's more valuable then money, fancy gifts, or flowers. I recently heard my friend Kendrick Montgomery say, "you bet I saw potential in her, I gave her an hour of my time on my daughter's birthday!" Wow, what perspective.

Where most people of our level of achievement might be retired and inaccessible, we offer you the greatest of all gifts in 2012, our time. We feel that this coming year is an opportune time to build, if not the most opportune time in the history of Isagenix. The Economic Collapse coupled with our Isagenix Vehicle presents the perfect storm of opportunity for each of you! You may not see another opportunity of this nature in your lifetime. As Tony often says, "Seize the Opportunity and give it everything you've got!" We are here to help you. Please utilize us, leverage our success to share with those who have much business potential. Ride this 2012 wave with us! Lets strike while the iron is hot! We cannot speak to everyone single person for you, there is not enough of us to go around. We must allocate our time to speak to those who have past success in business, massive business potential or networks in place which they can easily influence. Doctors of all kinds, Acupuncturists, Personal Trainers, Massage Therapists, Gym Owners, Hair Dressers, Heads of Church, Direct Sales reps, etc. All are "Networkers" who can quickly compound your results in your business. Please schedule such opportunities through Sean with a phone call or voicemail. Many of you can attest that we will bend over backwards to accommodate such calls.

Once you hit the pinnacle of success, once you don't need any more money. You will then find that your heart turns to those who want the same and those who helped you achieve your success. Each of you has contributed to our success and our goal is to help you now to realize your Isagenix Dreams.

Love,
The Escobars
Tony, Randi, Sean, and Crystal

Holiday Fun at the Escobar House

New Years Resolutions can help build your business!

2011-12-12T18:24:00.001-07:00

What are the #1 and #2 New Years Resolutions? You guessed it, LOSE WEIGHT AND MAKE MORE MONEY! We can help with both can't we!!!!

The time as officially come to make a tremendous push for our New Year Cleanse 2012! Your business could benefit greatly from this opportune timing if you play your cards right! The beauty of this is that you are inviting people to "participate" rather than soliciting them to "buy" anything. I remember walking into a mortgage office to deliver an old friend of mine a kit that she bought. I asked her if she had anyone that might want to participate with her as it is more fun and enjoyable. What happened next was a pleasant surprise. I waited in the conference room as she went around and gathered 11 of her co-workers and they all sat there and listened to me present why they ought to cleanse their bodies. They all joined, every single one of them and I walked away with 12 apps in hand and my friend made several hundred dollars although she wasn't even doing the business! People love to do things together, it is in our nature! Contact Everyone you know within the next 2 weeks and invite them to join us. Lets see if we can make this the biggest New Years Cleanse in our history! Time to go to work and ensure that 2012 starts off with a bang!

Money. Money is not the root of all evil, it is the LOVE of money that is. Believe me, money is a very good thing and you can do a lot of good with it. We can not be shy away from teaching people about this wonderful opportunity. I understand that many of us shy away from the money side of Isagenix as we do not want to be perceived as solely money motivated. Just remember, everything revolves around a product results. Even if it was the money potential that hooked them, they are still going to need to cleanse their bodies to determine whether or not this is something that they want to share forward. There are so many people hurting now and we believe we are only 75% of the way through the down turn. That means we still have another 25% to go down before the economy starts to climb back up and make a recovery. The last 4 years of economic crisis have resulted in 4 straight record years in Network Marketing. When the economy struggles, we thrive because everyone starts looking for supplemental opportunities to make money to feed their families. This is the busiest I've ever seen it through the Holidays, things are popping, I'm sure you are experiencing the same. 2012 will be a historic year in our industry. We may not see timing like this again in our lifetime. Lets seize the moment! Build fast, it's easier to build fast with momentum and get it done than to build slow over time and not hit momentum at all. Crystal and I think about the blessing that Isagenix has been in our lives and we think about all the people who need a blessing like this in their lives. How can we not share?

Love,
Sean

"Mind Over Fatter"

2011-12-06T15:56:00.001-07:00

Mind Over Fatter

Could your Expectation truly determine your Outcome?

By Sean Escobar

Ever hear of the quote by Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you 're right.”

Having coached thousands of cleansers over the last 10 years I have discovered that many people embark on their cleansing journey with a very sandy foundation. Maybe they have misconceptions from listening to cynical people or from reading internet rubbish. Funny thing about the internet, you can pretty much always find validation for what you are looking for. Want to believe that Cola Soft Drinks are beneficial for you, just look on the internet for so called proof. Yes, it actually exists!

Funny thing about human nature. Many people say the greatest desire of human beings is “to be loved.” That’s actually not true in my opinion, the greatest of all human desires is “to be right.” Just look at the great lengths people have gone to in order to be right. Many of the biggest problems that mankind has faced in history have come as a result of people trying to push their beliefs on others. The subconscious can certainly play tricks on us. See when you form an opinion about anything or anyone, your subconscious will then go to work on its own gathering evidence to prove yourself right. Just think about how good it feels to be right about something and how bad it feels to be wrong. Think about how hard you sometimes try to get people to see things your way, rather than just letting them have a different opinion. Do you know someone who under no circumstance will they admit they were wrong about something!? There has been several times where I’ve been able to catch myself and say “now wait a minute, lets be open to other possibilities here rather than try and treat my personal opinion as factual.”

We must own the truth that whatever choices we have made in our past have brought us to this current place. We are a some total of the choices and decisions we have made in our life. We have to be accountable for our decisions rather than be a victim, there is no power in rationalization and justification. If you are not totally fulfilled by where you currently are physically or financially, then something has to change. If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you always got. I want to acknowledge you for reaching, for taking your health seriously and for realizing your self worth. Change is uncomfortable and the physical body doesn’t like it discomfort. Ever try to make it through that first week back to the gym and find that your body acts like a ball and chain? Now you must utilize your limitless mind to overpower the physical body’s natural tendencies.

It is my hope that you will approach Isagenix with an attitude of positive expectancy. Let go of any prejudices or preconceived notions about this adventure you are embarking upon. What you think about you bring about! If you approach Isagenix as some dreadful thing that is going to be total punishment, guess what,it will be! What kind of evidence is your subconscious going to go gather to prove yourself right in that case? Instead, lets view Isagenix for what it truly is. A process of personal empowerment, renewal of mind, body and soul. A vacation from eating and all of the toxic habits that have wreaked havoc on our overall health. Decide it will be so and it surely will be. Decide NOW, for if you wait for an Mount Everest moment you may find yourself succumbing to temptation rather than overcoming it. The kid who decides early on that he will NEVER do drugs under any circumstance is surely better off than the kid who had no intention to do drugs, but failed to make a concrete commitment not to. We have to decide before hand. “I’m not going to cheat, I’m not going to let others sabotage me, I’m investing in my health and I’m worth it!” Self Discipline is not something that some were blessed with and others were not. It is something that we all possess and can take advantage of. Remember, what one man can do, another man can do! We have over 260 people now that have utilized Isagenix to lose over 100 lbs each. Each of them will not only tell you that the cleansing lifestyle is doable, it is worthwhile! We have 100’s of thousands of happy customers and our company is growing like a weed, well over a billion dollars in sales now. What does that tell you? That is some pretty compelling evidence demonstrating that Isagenix works! Trust in the process and embrace the support of your awesome team.

Now for further motivation I encourage you to read the following 100 quotes from the movie “The Secret.” Think about how this applies to you in your current situation.

Love ya,

Sean

100 quotes from "The Secret" movie

1. We all work with One Infinite Power.

2. The Secret is the Law of Attraction. (LOA)

3. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting.

4. We are like magnets - like attracts like. You become AND attract what you think.

5. Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.

6. People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same.

7. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation.

8. You attract your dominant thoughts.

9. Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it..etc..

10. It's not "wishful" thinking.

11. You can't have a Universe without the mind entering into it.

12. Choose your thoughts carefully .. you are a masterpiece of your life.

13. It's OK that thoughts don't manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)

14. EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted .. accept that fact .. it's true.

15. Your thoughts cause your feelings.

16. We don't need to complicate all the "reasons" behind our emotions. It's much simpler than that. Two categories .. good feelings, bad feelings.

17. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.

18. Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.

19. You get exactly what you are FEELING.

20. Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.

21. You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there).. the universe will correspond to the nature of your song.

22. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience.

23. What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception.

24. Shift your awareness.

25. "You create your own universe as you go along" - Winston Churchill

26. It's important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) )

27. You can change your emotion immediately .. by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience.

28. When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator.

29. Life can and should be phenomenal .. and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction.

30. Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly.

31. Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: "I'm so happy and grateful now that.... "

32. You don't need to know HOW the Universe is going to rearrange itself.

33. LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW.

34. You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster.

35. The Universe likes SPEED. Don't delay, don't second-guess, don't doubt..

36. When the opportunity or impulse is there .. ACT

37. You will attract everything you require - money, people, connections.. PAY ATTENTION to what's being set in front of you.

38. You can start with nothing .. and out of nothing or no way - a WAY will be provided.

39. HOW LONG??? No rules on time .. the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen.

40. Size is nothing to the Universe (unlimited abundance if that's what you wish) We make the rules on size and time.

41. No rules according to the Universe .. you provide the feelings of having it now and the Universe will respond.

42. Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck...etc..)

43. You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point.

44. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha

45. What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude!

46. Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately.

47. What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about.

48. What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude.. focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for.

49. Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result.

50. VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future.

51. VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins.

52. Feel the joy .. feel the happiness :o)

53. An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one.

54. "What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists." Alexander Graham Bell

55. Our job is not to worry about the "How". The "How" will show up out of the commitment and belief in the "what"

56. The Hows are the domain of the Universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream.

57. If you turn it over to the Universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered .. this is where magic and miracles happen.

58. Turn it over to the Universe daily.. but it should never be a chore.

59. Feel exhilarated by the whole process .. high, happy, in tune!

60. The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being.

61. They remember to do it all the time.

62. Create a Vision Board .. pictures of what you want to attract .. every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants.

63. "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein

64. Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you.

65. Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want - and the feeling of having it already.

66. Focus on being grateful for what you have already .. enjoy it!! Then release into the Universe. The Universe will manifest it.

67. "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve" - W. Clement Stone

68. Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.

69. When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.

70. How can you become more prosperous?? INTEND IT!!

71. 'Checks are coming in the mail regularly'... or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there... and get behind the feeling of having it.

72. Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas...

73. Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear.

74. We are the creators of our universe.

75. Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others .. love yourself and you will be loved.

76. Healthy respect for yourself.

77. For those you work with or interact with regularly .. get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people.

78. Write down the things you like most about them (don't expect change from them). Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if your frequencies don't match.

79. When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good.

80. You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children....

81. You are the only one that creates your reality.

82. No one else can think or feel for you .. its YOU .. ONLY YOU.

83. Health: thank the Universe for your own healing. Laugh, stress free happiness will keep you healthy.

84. The immune system will heal itself.

85. Parts of our bodies are replaced every day, every week..etc... Within a few years we have a brand new body.

86. See yourself living in a new body. Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the body.

87. Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself!

88. Learn to become still .. and take your attention away from what you don't want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience.

89. When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life.

90. You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

91. And allow the world as others choose to see it, exist as well.

92. People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won't be enough to go around .. This is a lie that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy.

93. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around.

94. All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for you.

95. So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want.. get behind the good feelings of all your wants.

96. Write your script. When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don't wants... remove your attention from don't wants.. and place them on do wants.

97. We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING.

98. Don't define yourself by your body .. it's the infinite being that's connected to everything in the universe.

99. One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

100. Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

The Newest IsaBaby has Arrived!
I'm going to let my remarkable wife Crystal tell the story below, but I just wanted to mention one thing here. The Midwives were blown away by the health of the placenta and I really don't think they say it to everyone. lol In fact they went on and on about how incredible this one was in relation to many of the others they'd seen. We decided to encapsulate it, as I am convinced that it is beneficial for Momma. Crystal wasn't about to stir fry that thing. lol Did you know that pretty much every other animal on the face of the earth eats the placenta post birth! I think there is a reason for that. People that do so report many benefits including no postpartum depression etc. I know that I am probably freaking many of you guys out now, hey we are IsaFamily and I can tell you anything right? :) ,Just appreciate that we are the kind of weird people that spend $200 to encapsulate Isagenix Placentas, spare no expense for mom's health! Oh and guess who also went on and on about our famous Isagenix Placenta? The Placenta Encapsulation Specialist who sees these things all the time! Funny, because I had a 40 something year old mom on facebook write me and brag about her Isagenix Placenta. She said that her doctor went all around the hospital gathering the other doctors to show them the most healthy looking placenta that he had seen in his many years of delivering. lol She of course, proceeded to teach him about Isagenix! What a fantastic marketing method! I'm kidding, not really, totally duplicatable. lol

I'll be taking some time off to assist Crystal with these 2 other kiddos. Wow, realizing what my wife does on a daily basis. Oliver is a full-time job himself. :)

Thanksgiving. It certainly is not only a time to come together around an enormous feast and stuff ourselves silly, there is more to it than that right? Although, that is an awfully fun part of it and it does only come around once per year. I do have so many fond memories of Thanksgiving. My favorite was spent with my Grandma and Grandpa on Mom's side in Arizona. Grandma would stuff you so full you would have to just lay on the floor on your back for a while, couldn't hardly move! Then an hour later she'd be making you leftovers. We also spent one very memorable Thanksgiving at the home of John Anderson, the founder of Isagenix. This was long before Isagenix had come into being. John had me sleeping in his garage full of 17 Harley Davidson's and real casino slot machines. He gave me a bunch of money to play with and told me I could keep my winnings. I didn't sleep that night of course! That's what happens when you do something like that to a 15 year old Mormon Boy. lol I was surprised that John actually cooked and cut his own Turkey, he insisted! We are so very grateful that man came into our lives. We've been blessed beyond belief by him.

For those of you that have joined us in our "Reign in the Holidays" Challenge. We've now officially Earned the Turkey, and next week we will Burn the Turkey! :) I was shocked to see that I'd dropped 7 lbs over just the 2 pre-cleanse and 2 cleanse days prior to Thanksgiving! That new powder cleanse flat out works. Monday and Tuesday it's back to cleansing the body. Then it will be maintenance until we make a major push to get as many people to join our New Year Cleanse as possible, how exciting this is!

This time of year we give thanks for all of our many blessings. We want you to know how grateful we are for leaders like yourself. Leaders are like Eagles you know. You don't find them in flocks, You find them one at a time. When you find a solid, loyal, self sufficient leader, you must cherish them. They are precious. Crystal and I have often in our prayers asked that our Father in Heaven would lead us to leaders who need our opportunity and with whom we could partner with to help further our mission. It is my belief that we did not just meet someone like yourself by chance. I know it was meant to be. We want you to know that we are grateful for your efforts and that we value your unique set of gifts that you bring to our Isagenix family.

My mother Randi recently remarked, "When people have a passion for the work that they are actively engaged in because they believe in it, it becomes a privilege for them to share and invite others to pursue this lifestyle. It is an incredibly gratifying thing to be apart of another person's personal growth as they embrace the gifts we have to share with them. Our distributors continue to amaze and enlighten us with their potential and their commitment."

Our gift to you is this 17 page E-book entitled "The Power of Gratitude"
It is a long read, but I can promise you it is worth every minute. Who knew that in order to get more of what we want, all we have to do is be more grateful for what we have. :) My Dad once told me, "The Law of Gratitude is far more powerful than the Principle of Attraction that everyone is focused on."

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!! (Thanks to Isagenix, it will!)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ISAGENIX FAMILY

Meet Nicole Hudson-New Star Consultant!

2011-11-14T12:48:00.001-07:00

I was born and raised in Seattle WA. My husband is my best friend and we met in college in 2000 and we have lived in Washington, Texas, Ohio, and now Wisconsin. We now have 5 kids ages 8 and under and I'm proud to be a homemaker! There is nothing more important to me than being the best wife and mother I can be. I'm also passionate about teaching my children the value of serving others, which is why I felt compelled to get involved in Isagenix.

A little about me and my background: I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Social Sciences from WSU. I also attended the University of Malta for a study abroad program in college. I'm a former domestic violence and sexual assault counselor, cake decorator, Miss Jr. Orem Utah (that was 5 kids ago, haha), caretaker for developmentally disabled young people, TurboKick Instructor, and professional Christmas caroler! My interests include... people!, anything active and outdoors, music piano and singing, sign language, blogging, and church service.

Nicole with Family Pre-Isagenix

I believe finding Isagenix was an answer to a prayer. Last April, I knew our family needed to make a lifestyle change after watching Food Inc. I had been praying to have more energy, and to be a healthier mother for my children. The next day I stumbled across Sean Escobar's blog about Isagenix, and I knew it was an answer to that prayer. I tried the 9 day system, and lost 10 lbs. and 11 inches, and was blown away by my energy, curbed hunger, and was relieved that my sugar addiction was finally under control. I knew absoultely nothing about Network Marketing, and had no clue how fortunate I would be to have the Escobar family as my leaders and mentors! I'm so grateful for their support. I have a lot to learn, but I am truly loving this so far!

Many of my family members have started Isagenix, and they're loving it too. I have 2 brothers, and they have lost 14 and 16lbs. (didn't have much to lose), and my mom and dad have lost 35 and 27, and my once skeptical hubby is down 45 lbs! And I have lost 33. So that's 170 total... so far. And that's not including my extended family members. Isagenix has been a lifesaver for my family- literally. With diabetes, and heart disease on both sides of my family, this lifestyle change could add years to our lives, not to mention dramatically improve the quality of those years. That's why I feel a moral obligation to share this with people I care about!

Nicole's Before and After Picture

I'm thrilled to achieve this mini-goal of star consultant, but I'm just getting started! I'm definitely an Isa-lifer! My dream in Isagenix is to genuinely help as many people as possible. My goal is not in terms of income, but in terms of lives impacted. I also hope to have time freedom with my family, and to help other families to achieve the same. I intend to take this all the way to the top! It might take me longer than others, since my children are at demanding ages right now, and family comes first, but I will achieve these goals, and won't give up until I do! I'm especially excited to focus on helping and inspiring mothers to achieve their health and financial goals. I'm totally committed to this company and to my team and I'm so excited do all I can to help others succeed!

I Read That (ingredient) Was Bad For You

2011-10-25T13:04:00.001-06:00

October 24, 2011 by Isagenix Nutritional Sciences

Health-conscious consumers need to be weary of some of the information available online.

It’s a truism to say that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. However, when it comes to the topic of health and nutrition, there’s all the more reason to remain on high alert when reading materials around the World Wide Web.
A few websites, articles and blogs can be deliberately misleading. They knowingly make scientifically inaccurate statements and peddle scare tactics unnecessarily—often with the intent to promote products that may lack in actual quality. Usually what these websites resort to is singling out a relatively minor ingredient, or a detail of its form as the sole focus of an attack.
These attacks have unfortunately caused a great deal of confusion for health-conscious people who are seeking to find the best quality products for their bodies.
Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12)
For example, vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin has recently been a target of misinformed criticism. The ingredient, which has been used in hundreds of studies for decades, is considered so safe that it’s often used as a placebo in randomized controlled trials.
Some have questioned its safety, citing the presence of minor amounts of cyanide residues. However, the facts on cyanocobalamin are that even when taken in extremely high amounts, it is absolutely safe and not associated with any kind of side effects. A full safety report from the Council for Responsible Nutrition drives this point in further (1),
“No toxic effects of B12 have been encountered in humans or animals at any level of oral intake (Miller and Hayes 1982; Food and Nutrition Board 1998). The overall evidence indicates that vitamin B12 is virtually nontoxic. Doses of 1,000 mcg per day were administered to a child by intravenous injection for a year without adverse effect (Merch 1958). Even if 100 percent metabolic liberation from Cyanocobalamin is assumed, the cobalt and cyanide contributions of 1,000 mcg of vitamin B12 are toxicologically insignificant (Hathcock and Troendle 1991)”
It’s important to remember that in everyday life we are exposed to varying levels of toxins such as cyanide from the air we breathe and naturally occurring amounts in many foods. Our bodies can handle these small quantities.
When present in supplements, cyanocobalamin offers vitamin B12 in a safe, stable and efficacious form backed by hundreds of scientific studies. The essential vitamin is needed for healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system. Most people, especially older people, could benefit from supplementation with B12. See more about B12 in our story “Holding onto Memory with B12″ here.
Magnesium stearate
Another example of an ingredient recently targeted is magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate is simply a magnesium salt containing stearic acid. Stearic acid is a common fat found in cocoa butter and in meats. Magnesium stearate’s use in dietary supplements is as a lubricant to keep ingredients from sticking. Think of it as spraying “PAM” on the frying pan. This is important in the production of vitamins for quality, especially when formulas are complex and have multiple ingredients that would otherwise stick together.
The magnesium stearate used in Isagenix products is a vegetable source. It’s used in negligible amounts in dietary supplements (10 to 20 milligrams) and is absolutely harmless. By comparison, a chocolate bar contains about 5,000 milligrams of stearic acid and this is still harmless!
In contrast to what’s claimed in some articles about magnesium stearate, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that magnesium stearate has an effect on the immune system or affects nutrient absorption. This is pure bologna! (Note: bologna contains a great deal more stearic acid than any dietary supplement ever would.) As a minor source of saturated fat, stearic acid is actually shown to be potentially beneficial to health, not detrimental (2).
Lecithin
Lecithins are oily substances that are naturally found in plants (soybeans) and animals (egg yolks). It is extracted for use as an emulsifier in many prepackaged foods such as ice cream, milk shakes and chocolates. As an emulsifier, it helps keep fats and water from separating and produces smoothness in our IsaLean Shakes and IsaDelight Plus dark chocolates.
Far from being a “toxic sludge” as suggested around the internet, the phospholipid is an important part of all cell membranes. It plays a role as a component of bile in the small intestine and is a major source of choline in the diet, which is vital for proper metabolism of fats in the liver. It’s also a precursor for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. For these reasons, you may see lecithin available as a supplement in natural health stores.
The non-GMO soy lecithin found in IsaLean Shake is ultra-purified so it’s free of any proteins or contaminants. Soy lecithin doesn’t contribute any amount of soy protein (so it is hypoallergenic) and it doesn’t contribute any soy isoflavones (which are phytoestrogens). These are eliminated through purification and should not present a concern to those needing to avoid them.
Sodium benzoate
Naturally, preservatives are often targets of criticism despite their well-established long-term safety profile. For example, long-term studies have shown no health problems whatsoever associated with sodium benzoate in the concentrations used in our products. The ingredient is included because it prevents spoilage and extends shelf life in liquid products.
Sodium benzoate is simply the salt of benzoic acid, which is found widely in nature such as in apples, berries, cranberries, plums, prunes and cinnamon. In Isagenix products, the ingredient was used previously in Cleanse for Life and Ionix Supreme in a concentration of less than 0.1 percent. The amount is roughly equivalent to what could be found in a handful of cranberries.
A few years ago there was some indication that sodium benzoate in the presence of ascorbic acid could, in certain conditions (e.g. under heat or light), react to potentially produce the organic chemical benzene (3). Isagenix, consequently, decided to avoid use of sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid in any of its formulas. Nowadays, the ingredient sodium benzoate is no longer used at all in liquid Cleanse for Life and is not used in the powder forms of either Cleanse for Life or Ionix Supreme products.
Questions… Questions…
Isagenix understands that trust is a critical part of choosing nutritional products. This is why the company stands by a commitment to a “no compromise” policy when it comes to safety, potency and quality.
This post is intended to help clear up any questions people have about these ingredients in Isagenix products. In addition, we feel it’s important to add a word of caution about unscrupulous marketers that may publicize misleading information that could potentially be harmful to health.

Burger King billboard gets much deserved graffiti

2011-10-24T10:23:00.000-06:00

(Were they asking for it or what!?) Burger King billboard gets diabetes graffiti: "Someone has graffitied this Burger King billboard in downtown Seattle to transform it into criticism about how sugary fast food contributes to diabetes and the obesity crisis.

The original billboard does that classic advertising trick of getting away with making a joke while still promoting an idea that's not so great for you, which is to eat more deserts at Burger King.

The billboard shows an ice cream cone, a parfait, a milkshake and then a Burger King logo. Underneath the items in progression it says "side," "entree," and "drink." To modify it into a commentary, on the logo, the vandalizer drew a bloated person with a frowny face and x-ed out eyes. Below it they scrawled, "diabetes."

Isagenix Geometric Progression Chart

2011-10-21T10:36:00.002-06:00

Want to get REALLY Excited about your Isagenix Business? Ever had someone ask you "What is the income potential?" "What happens if I bring in 100 people?" Get REALLY Excited people because this Hypothetical Growth Chart is your answer. Just imagine that this has you earning 49k/month after only 12 months and having earned 97k in your first year. See what happens when you give this opportunity time to get rolling? This is based on the "Power of 2" Concept. Meaning, 2 people go out and find 2 more who find 2 more and so on. This does not take into consideration the 8k plus that is available in Rank Advancement Bonuses. Nor does it take into consideration that you could potentially find one person who leads you to 100's or 1000's of customers. One powerful networker equals thousands of customers to you! A networker is ANYONE who has a network of influence in place. A Hairdresser is a networker. A Massage Therapist is a Networker. We know that not everyone is going to go out and get their 2 people, this is why this is a "Hypothetical" income chart. Truth is, the opportunity is even better than this chart represents, because all you really need is a couple good people on one team and a couple on the other and BOOM, you'll have to run away trains on your hands and you will be loving life, I can promise you that!

The Power of Sharing with "Strangers"

2011-08-31T18:12:00.000-06:00

The Isagenix Visa Card Story, Sherry and Bill Fox

2011-08-22T18:38:00.000-06:00

Our Isagenix Visa Card Experience!

Almost five years ago, I was introduced to Isagenix through Dr. Corey Cameron, who incorporated this into her Nutritional and Holistic Chiropractic practice as an additional alternative to help her patients. Working as the Office Manager and Wellness Coach for Cameron Chiropractic, I immediately saw the results that this product offered patients, and the positive aspects of weight loss.

I very reluctantly did a 9day program and when I saw the results for myself, I immediately called my sister who lived up north and told her that I could help her long distance! At that time, I had no financial goals with Isagenix, but was more interested in getting healthier myself and sharing with anyone who asked. I also wanted to encourage my husband to use Isagenix to lose some weight and help deal with the stress of his management position at the newspaper, however that change would not come until later due to his stubbornness. It was not his time as he was not open to change then.

Follow Your Dream…..

For the first two years, I used Isagenix as a way to add extra dollars into our household budget and to pay for our product. I was the Wellness Coach/Office Mangers during the day and at night spent time on the phone coaching people through the cleanse process. It was during this time that I realized this is what I wanted to do, but I still wasn’t sure how to develop this into a full-time business.

Over the years, one of my dreams was for my husband and I to take a vacation to Alaska. For a number of years I would bring it up, and each time my husband said he didn’t think we had enough extra money to afford this kind of vacation. As this was my dream, I decided to use Isagenix as our way to pay for an Alaska trip. I set myself a goal of saving an extra $10,000 through my Isagenix commissions, and when I reached that, I would surprise my husband announcing that we were going to Alaska….paid for by Isagenix. I now had my focus….my WHY….my goal. I set my goal for one year to save enough for our trip and surprise my husband.

Very quietly each week, my account began to grow. Not sure if I could do this in one year because I also used the Isa Visa to pay for our family vacations and our every Friday ‘go out to dinner’ nights! I focused on one person at a time, teaching them about this product and this company. Well, at the end of that third year I had saved over $16,000 on my Isagenix Visa Card…..announcing (to my still skeptical husband) that I was booking our trip to Alaska …and still had over $6,000 to assist with our monthly budget. So in October, 2010 I booked our trip for July 2011 to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Since then, I have now made Isagenix my fulltime, home-based business. My husband has retired from his newspaper career and I am so happy to say he has joined me in sharing this with others. He even joined me at 2011 Celebration! We have both grown from worrying all the time about finances, to now knowing we will be financially secure for years to come. Our goals now center around sharing this with others so that they too may find the freedom to enjoy life and all that God has given us.

Enclosed are some pix’s of trip.

With sincere gratefulness,

Sherry and Bill Fox

Ballroom Dance Champ with over 250 titles builds Isagenix Business

2011-08-10T15:12:00.000-06:00

Meet Karen McDonald. I have had the tremendous blessing of working closely with Karen for 5 years now. How the time has flown! Many of you know Karen, but may not be aware of what she accomplished prior to Isagenix. She brings to Isagenix the same mental skill sets that made her overwhelmingly successful as a Dancer. Look forward to meeting her at Convention. She is such a joy to work with and she absolutely "gets it" as far as why we are sharing these products with people. She is humble and gracious.

English born and raised in Australia, Karen has over thirty years experience in competitive dancing. Before retiring as the undefeated U.S. "American Style" champion and the undefeated Canadian "American Ballroom" and "Showdance" champion, she garnered over 250 titles worldwide.

Fat Burning Versus Sugar Burning:

This information was derived from a lecture that was conducted on the Power Team

Saturday Morning Call by Peter Greenlaw, That lecture was given by Peter Greenlaw and was based on the extensive research he has been doing along with information from Dr. Dennis Harper for the book they are writing about cleansing and how the body functions. His 90 minute lecture was condensed to the following few paragraphs by Sue Faggion.

How The Body Works

The human body is an amazing machine. It has between 60 and 70 trillion cells. Each

of those cells has it’s own individual “furnace” that makes that cell function. That furnace is called the mitochondria. In order to heat up the mitochondria in the cell and therefore help raise our metabolism our bodies require over 70 trace minerals and live, active enzymes daily combined with proper nutrition.

Our bodies are designed to burn fat. If you are overweight it’s a sure sign that you are not burning fat, you are burning sugar. We are going to talk about how to get those furnaces ignited again and get your body burning fat.

We have all been led to believe that dieting is what we need to do to lose weight.

Wrong. Look around you — it doesn’t work. When you reduce calories you slow down

the metabolism and shut down the mitochondria. Then when you stop the diet and begin to eat more calories again, your body now has less mitochondria fired up, your

metabolism is sluggish, you have elevated levels of cortisol (a stress hormone that

causes fat storage) and when you start eating again you put weight back on very quickly.

When you burn fat cells, the impurities are released into your system. Minerals and trace minerals carry the impurities away from the body tissue to the liver then allow the liver to deliver those impurities to the colon and out of the body. Without minerals this function does not happen. The soils in our country are severely depleted of minerals… we no longer get adequate minerals from the foods we eat. Isagenix products include 72 ionic minerals and trace minerals plus live, active enzymes. The minerals allow the enzymes to carry waste products from the cells to the liver. The liver produces bile that carries the waste products to the colon and out of the body. Without the minerals and enzymes, the impurities just get re-circulated throughout the body. Eventually the body recognizes those impurities as something toxic and creates fat cells to enrobe them, then puts them back into storage as fat.

Sugar-Burning Mode:

Your brain needs glucose (complex sugar) to function. Without carbohydrates/complex sugar your body burns lean muscle mass for fuel — that is sugar-burning. Sugarburning creates an acidic environment in the body, which is the breeding ground for disease. This acid environment causes further stress and more cortisol to lock down the fat stores.

Sugar-burning mode also leaches minerals from the bones. It increases the hormones insulin and cortisol. Those two “storage” hormones lock down the fat cells, lower the metabolism and put your body into the mode of burning lean muscle mass. Sugar-burning prevents the cells from absorbing oxygen. When the cells can’t absorb oxygen they can’t function properly and mutation occurs, otherwise known as disease. Sugar-burning also stops brain chemistry hormone production.

Fat-Burning Mode:

Fat-burning mode lowers insulin and cortisol levels, produces proper brain chemistry, gets oxygen into the cells and hydrates the cells. In fat-burning mode water goes into the cells and flushes out the acid and impurities that are stored there. Those acids and impurities circulate through the system until they are removed through the liver and colon or kidneys and bladder.

Re-cap:

When you lose weight by reducing calories you slow down your metabolism and the cell’s mitochondria. When you start eating again you put the weight right back on because 1) the furnaces and metabolism have been shut down

2) without adequate minerals and enzymes the impurities still float around inside your body and are eventually stored back to fat.

The trick here is to get adequate nutrition balanced with proper glucose for brain function and ALL 70 minerals to flush the impurities out of the system along with living, active enzymes. Isagenix has all this built in. It takes 2 days of cleansing with Cleanse For Life Drink to get your body into fat burning mode.

The only way to detoxify your body is to suspend digestion. The Isagenix cleanse is designed with 2 back-to-back days of cleansing with Cleanse For Life Drink for this reason: after you suspend digestion for only 4 hours your body begins to produce the hormones that make lean muscle mass and increase your metabolism. The first 24 hours your body cleans the sugars from the liver. The second 24 hours is when the body begins to burn fat.

The "Way to Cleanse" with Isagenix Formulator John Anderson

WHAT IS THE JA WAY TO CLEANSE? SNACKS?

by John Anderson

QUESTION;

Got a person who is a bit confused on what John Anderson uses for snacks. Any suggestions? In the past, we’ve simply said, “If you must cheat, choose healthy low-calorie foods like nuts, small salads and vegetables.”

ANSWER;

Here's the Deal,

Cleansing is done for several reasons, to rid your body of toxins and also to loose weight.

Both require proper cleansing instructions and doing it correct, this will insure success.

Over the years, everyone think they are experts and have changed the original cleansing. This has lowered the the success rate, average weight loss, and slowed the system.

Eating foods on cleanse days is some fabricated crutch to appease cheaters and sugar addicts. Someone started the almond thing and has caused a rash of foods including eggs, salad, nuts, yogurt, chewing gum, vegetables, fruits, to be added as an "OK" thing to do.

The IsaSnacks are part of an important calculation, balanced nutrients formulated for a reason. The need to stabilize blood sugar was a factor when I originally designed the 9 day system. Adding a snack 6 times a day stimulates the colon slightly, adds a small amount of carbohydrates, and stabilizes blood sugar.

Ketosis is necessary for uncovering (Burning fat) where toxins are present. So, the need to enter a mild state of ketosis is a must for really detoxifying and BURNING FAT! By adding any other nuts and food will disrupt the process.

Diabetics and Hypoglycemic individuals must watch their blood sugar closely for LOW blood sugar. If this occurs, then it is recommended to eat a slice of apple or fruit and if needed, repeat until levels are back to normal.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who Panic when the hunger signs hit. This is a trained mind response that occurs as a survival mechanism. One starts to feel their next meal is not coming and PANIC sets in.

This can be reversed and the habit broken in 48 hours by not teasing your self and eating snacks to keep the evil hunger monster away. Regardless of your weight, this can be controlled. In some cases, the mental stress of "The next Meal Syndrome" may require support from a coach, physician, friend, or someone who can work on the strong mental factor of assuring "Death" will not occur, so to speak!

Women Body Composition is Shifting!

This post will hopefully address the T.S.S. that many of the women in America have become hostage to these days. T.S.S. being Toxic Scale Syndrome. Don't laugh, my bet is that some of you get on that scale a half dozen times per day. My hope is that we can shift the diet mentality and embrace a new practice, the "Cleansing Lifestyle" as we call it.

First of all, we need to address the relation between pounds and inches. Women usually lose WAY more inches than pounds on Isagenix. It is not unusual for a woman to drop double the inches! I've had some cleansers who drop 6 or 7 lbs, but 24+ inches. Consider that is over 2 feet off the body!!! Now you have to ask yourself, where did it go? :) We like to call it "Magic."

When we say that Body Composition is shifting what we mean is that the lbs and inches are coming off in the troublesome places and you are gaining lean muscle mass in the right places. As we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. Since most people are not accustomed to such a high quality protein as the Isagenix Organic Whey imported from New Zealand, their bodies are literally jumping for joy! I'm aware of one doctor in Isagenix who feels, based on his clinicals, that the average person will actually gain between 1-3 lbs of muscle with just moderate excercise. That is really significant when you consider how that will show up on the scale isn't it? Do women take such things into consideration when they step on the scale? No they do not. T.S.S. has them completely brainwashed. Let me ask you a question, what are you more concerned about lbs or inches/dress sizes? Isn't it all about how you look and how your clothes fit? Is anyone ever going to come and pick you up after all?

I have some pretty unbelievable pictures of women who have dropped 20 lbs, but it looks like they lost 40. Women who've dropped 30 lbs, but it looks like 60 and so on. This is the phenomonon of Body Composition Shifting. It is such a beautiful thing! Throw that scale away and give it a chance.

Did you know that there are different types of fat? There is surface fat, which comes off rather quickly and with ease when cleansing. Then there is a more deep seeded troublesome fat that takes a little more cleansing and a little more time. Nothing worse than a woman who after hearing that her friend dropped 19 lbs on the first program is upset that she only dropped 7. We must keep in mind that biochemistry is unique as a fingerprint, there are no 2 people who are exactly alike and therefore we have to work with what we have and not get into the no-win game of comparisons. This also holds true for Women in relation to Men. Did you know that Women's fat is completely different from Men's? Women's fat actually requires 50% more energy to burn. No wonder the weight seemingly comes off so much easier for men, those jerks! lol Still, Women have men beat by a long shot on inches and it's the inches that have the most impact on how we look and how those clothes fit. Many women are carrying around loads and loads of excess water, some even have what they call chronic edema. It's our belief that the body is carrying around this excess water in an effort to dilute the toxicity inside of it. We've all seen the women with what looks like water balloons on their upper arms or thighs and stomachs. It doesn't even really look like fat, it appears as though you could pop it with a needle. Amazing what happens when such women cleanse, it's a miracle for them!

Now let's put things into further perspective. Why is it that people think that they completely detoxifyed the body in 9 or 30 days? They spent a lifetime of 20, 30, or 40, 50+ years toxifying themselves and why is it that they think that it will all be back to the way God intended within such a short period of time? Once again it is the American Mentality. We want quick fixes. People stand next to the Microwave and tap their feet impatiently. Although Isagenix works pretty darn fast, for some it is still not fast enough, nothing is. I'm asking you to be patient. Sometimes it is the 2nd or 3rd cleanse where women see the major shift they are looking for. Will we ever completely detoxify the body? No, the answer is no. It's an ongoing process that requires adopting a cleansing lifestyle. Does changing the oil in your car once qualify it for no future oil changes? I often like to inform people upon completing their 9 day course, "congratulations, you just realized the benefit of cleansing your body one percent! Just imagine how great you will feel and look once you've adopted the cleansing lifestyle for 6 months or for 1 or 2 years!"

I believe there is a re-balancing taking place in the body during this process.

My wife lost only 6 lbs in the 9 day program, but went on to lose 25 lbs and 5 dress sizes in just 6 weeks by simply adopting the maintenance program! It does appear as though all systems of the body begin to function at a high level. Digestion, Metabolism, Immune, etc. You're also gaining control over nasty eating habits. Cravings seem to magically disappear and a healthy body is attracted to healthier foods. People find the energy to get more physically active. There is so much going on here that we ought to be excited about!

Why do we need Maintenance? Because Isagenix really doesn't cleanse anything! Our bodies come equipped with cleansing organs, the liver, the kidneys, the lymph, etc. Trouble is that we live in such an overwhelmingly toxic world that our cleansing organs are over-burdened and can't perform as intended. All Isagenix does is provide powerful cleansing nutrients to the body which aids the body in its ability to effectively cleanse itself. Make sense? Why wouldn't we want to provide these cleaning nutrients, call it a boost, on a daily basis? Our world is not getting any less toxic, in fact, it's getting much much worse!

Did you know that every 7 years, every single cell in the human body will have become anew? They completely regenerate every 7 years. Your diet, nutrition and exercise regimine over the next 7 years will essentially determine who the new you will be! Will you be the epitome of health? Or will you be a walking talking Twinkie? :) It's your choice!

Isn't it sad that we get so wrapped up on the weight loss aspect. I know it is sad for me because I'm aware of how much more there is going on here. Many of the Doctors on the Scientific Medical Advisory Board have said that Weight Loss is just one ancillary benefit of cleansing and it is not the top one. Of the top 10 benefits, weight loss would probably fall around #5. 90% of the benefit of this program is internal! That means that only 10% of the benefit is comprised of these external vanity results that everyone gets so wrapped around. I'm not saying that those appearance based results aren't important, they are! I'm just asking you to please consider that there is much more than what meets the eye here. Your insides will thank you more than anything else. You're doing yourself a big favor!

I'm hoping that this post will inspire many of the women out there who are so brainwashed by that nasty scale. One of the biggest favors you can do yourself is throw that scale into the closet and only pull it out on special occasions like when you complete your 9 day deep cleanse once every 3 months. You will not need to be looking at that thing daily while you are doing your daily cleansing and shakes. Listen to your body, focus on how you feel, how you look and how your clothes fit, that is what is going to serve you best. I've been doing this for 9 years now and have coached thousands of cleansers of all shapes and sizes. Based on that experience, I know the above to be the truth. I also know that if you will shift the diet mentality into one of Lifestyle Cleansing, the results will come soon enough and you will find your ideal weight, happy and healthy. Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Is Cleansing Safe with Formulator John Anderson

Q & A with John Anderson-Formulator

Chanie: Question "John, What would you tell people that question that we are only consuming 200 calories per day - each cleanse day - and they are concerned that this could be detrimental to our metabolism??"

John Anderson Answer, "Without nutritional support, and, exceeding the recommended time to cleanse, yes I would agree.

For thousands of years, every generation have developed some type of purification process by fasting, eating herbs and drinking tea.

Some of these include lemon fasts, water fasts, grape juice fasts, etc. Some recommend going for weeks without the building blocks to maintain good health and protect lean body mass.

Today, we know nutrition is key in supporting health while trying to cleanse. Your colon needs to rest you need to drop your caloric intake in order to start burning fat.

All of this required a balance of the right botanicals necessary to achieve your goal. It also takes adding vitamins, minerals, etc.

Most importantly, it required the addition of proteins right after a cleanse to protect your body.

We have proven that a 9 day and 30 day system will support your body and also help build muscle because your finally getting the best amino acid profile you've been missing.

It takes about 200 nutrients to support the human body. All of these are in the system. We now have over a million success stories to show Isagenix works, it's real, it's fantastic!"

Type 1 and 2 Diabetes with John Anderson and Dr. Dennis Harper:

First, lets hear from World Renowned Formulator of Isagenix, John Anderson. John Happens to be a type 2 diabetic himself.

"Diabetics can reap the benefits of Isagenix too. The need for diabetic nutrition is a must for everyone regardless of type or stage you are in. I am diabetic since my spider bite. I am type 2 and doing very well controlling it. My cholesterol is 85! A few tips for you!

Shakes:

Normally, the shakes should be cut in 1/2 servings more often. This will spread out the carbs hitting the system all at once.

Cleansing;

You should always start Isagenix doing daily cleansing by adding 2 to 4 ounces in your daily drinking water. I have hundreds of reported testimonies stating that just doing the daily cleanse (4 oz daily) lowers blood sugars by 40 points on average.

Deep Cleansing;

This is not recommended because its hard to set a plan that works for every diabetic. Everyone is so different. Regulating blood sugars are a balancing act, If you reduct your carb intake and not adjust your insulin, you will have an insulin reaction.

Deep cleansing must be regulated and monitored by your doctor or health care provider.

Fiber;

Fiber is important for diabetics, it slows the carbs greatly and helps stabilize blood sugar. Adding the FiberPro and eating Slim Cakes will help

Mens / Women's Vitamins;

Its always a benefit to add the necessary B vitamins to your regime, they help as well

Omegas;

Very important for helping in insulin receptors making your body recognize insulin better.

There are many added ingredients in Isagenix system for helping stabilize blood sugars too;

Alpha Lipoic Acid, Blood glucose

Chromium, improves glucose tolerance

Fiber, slows and helps control blood sugar

Minerals, most important for reducing blood sugars

Vitamin E, may improve glucose tolerance

Vitamin B6, helps neuropathy

Vitamin B1, helps reduce blood sugar levels

CoEnzymeQ10, cardio-protection risks from diabetes

Niacin, blood circulation

Zinc, great in type 1 for blood sugars reduction

Vitamin D, for blood levels normalization

Inositol, nerve function for neuropathy

Taurine, type 1 for the blood

Omegas, for glucose tolerance and cholesterol levels

Cayenne, blood circulation

Psyllium, for blood sugar levels

Cinnamon, for blood sugar levels control

Maybe reading and understanding these ingredients will help you understand the importance of good nutrition when your body is under abnormal conditions.

John"

Symptoms to expect form Cleansing and what to do

By the morning after the 2nd cleanse day, you will feel great! You will be literally

amazed by the weight & inches you release, the level of energy you feel and

how great your skin is beginning to look.

In the event you are one of the people who might experience some

mild cleanse symptoms , we are providing you with some suggestions to help you make it through. If you are experiencing any such symptoms this very well may be your body telling you that you need to do this. These symptoms are a result of what we call the "Healing Crisis," Things will generally get a little worse before they get better. Such symptoms should only last a day or two.

Headache:

Usually due to caffeine or carbohydrate withdrawal; Immediately drink 16 oz of

purified water, slowly eat 1/2 an organic apple, breathe deeply, or go to bed.

Peppermint Oil has proven to be a useful home remedy for Migraines. Make sure it is topical and not edible, put a small amount on your forehead and temples (MAKE SURE YOU WASH YOUR HANDS AFTERWARDS). The only place to get it is at a Health Food Store. May also be used for Achy Muscles and for monthly cramps for women.

Muscle or joint aches: rub the topical oil on the affected area (you will feel it get very warm) For monthly cramps: apply to abdomen

Nausea/Upset

Stomach:

Change the way you take the cleanse; use 1/4 cup of Cleanse For Life in 8 oz of

water & drink it 8 times per day, or drink the cleanse straight & chase with water;

slowly eat 1/2 an organic apple; drink 1/2 a shake (1 scoop in 4 oz water)

Rashes & Skin

Problems:

Drink lots of water to flush the impurities; Activate the lymph system so it more

quickly transports impurities to the colon by lightly massaging your skin with a soft

bristle brush from the fingertips to shoulders & from the feet to the heart, shaking

your body, or jumping on a mini-trampoline

Dark Bowel

Movement &

Frequent Urination

A great sign! Impurities are being released! Frequent urination is very common,

especially during the 1st 2 wks until your body re-learns to absorb the water.

Diarrhea

Should only last a day or two is all.

Constipation

Take up to 4 IsaFlush capsules per day. If you did not order IsaFlush you can take 1000mg of Magnesium per day to get things moving. Last resort - Drink 4 ounces of prune juice morning and night until you see a breakthrough.

Fatigue

Your body is working hard to cleanse itself; Make sure to take your accelerator capsules and use IsaDelight if you have those. Take a nap, or go to bed early.

Feeling Cold

Take a nice warm bath with Epson Salts. Dress Warmly.

Irritability

Your body is transforming itself & change can produce emotionality; Use

IsaDelights & be assured the moodiness will pass

Body Odor

Drink lots of water; Brush your skin as above; Take an Epsom Salts bath

Gas and/or

Bloating

Usually subsides as digestion improves from the living enzymes in the Isagenix products

SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU IMPROVE YOUR DIET

Excerpted From An Article By Dr. Stanley S. Bass, ND, D.C., PhD

Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding in the field of nutrition is the failure to understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better nutritional program. A remarkable thing happens when a person improves the quality of the food he consumes. When the food you ingest is of a higher quality than the tissues from which the body is made, the body discards the lower

quality tissues, to make room for the higher quality materials to make healthier tissue. During this process of regeneration, lasting about 10 days to several weeks, the emphasis is on breaking down and eliminating lower quality tissue. The vibrant energy often found in the external parts of the body, the muscles and skin, moves to vital internal organs and starts reconstruction. This movement of

energy produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the mind interprets as weakness. At this time, more rest and sleep is often needed, and it's imperative to avoid stimulants of any kind which will abort and defeat the regenerative process. Remember, the body isn't getting weaker, it's simply using it's energies in

more important internal work rather than external work involving muscle movements. Withpatience and diligence, a person will soon feel more energy than before. By ingesting higher quality foods, the body begins a process called "retracing". The initial focus is on eliminating waste and toxins deposited in the tissues. However, the process creates symptoms that are often misinterpreted. For example, a person who stops consuming coffee or chocolate may experience headaches and a general letdown. The body begins discarding toxins (caffeine or theobromin) by removing them from the tissues and transporting them through the bloodstream. However, before toxins are passed, through elimination, they register in our consciousness as pain, in other words, a headache. These same toxins also

stimulate the heart to beat more rapidly, thus producing the feeling of exhilaration. The letdown is due to the slower action of the heart which produces a depressed mind state. The symptoms experienced during "retracing" are part of the healing process! They are not deficiencies. Do not treat them with stimulants or drugs. These symptoms are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Don't try to cure the cure. Thesymptoms will vary according to the materials

being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the elimination, and the amount of available energy.

They can include: headaches, fever/chills, colds, skin eruptions, constipation/diarrhea, frequent

urination, fatigue/sluggishness, nervousness, irritability, depression.

The symptoms will be milder and pass more quickly if one gets more rest and sleep. Understand that the body becomes healthier by eliminating wastes and toxins. Had they remained trapped in the tissues, eventually they would have brought illness and disease, thus causing greater pain and suffering. "The body is becoming healthier by eliminating toxins" Finally, don't expect to improve your diet and feel better and better every day, until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature. Health returns in a series of gradually diminishing cycles. For example, you may begin eating better and start feeling better. After some time, you experience a symptom

such as nausea or diarrhea. After a day, you feel even better than before and all goes well for a while. Then you suddenly develop a cold, the chills and lose your appetite. Without the use of drugs, you recover from these symptoms and suddenly you feel great. This well-being continues for a time until you break out in a

rash. The rash flares up, but finally disappears, and suddenly you feel better than you've felt in years. As the body becomes pure, each reaction becomes milder and shorter in duration, followed by longer and longer periods of feeling better than ever before, until finally you reach a level plateau...vibrant health.

Detoxification and Possible Symptoms

by Dr. John Mory

What is detoxification ?

Detoxification is the term used to describe the

process your body goes through to get rid of

toxins. Detoxification symptoms - both

physical and mental - may appear when you

alter your lifestyle by starting something new,

such as changing your diet or exercising, or

by discontinuing a current habit, such as

eating chocolate or drinking coffee. These

symptoms include headache, skin eruptions

(rash), stomach ache, cough, diarrhea,

clogged sinus, and fever, as well

as feeling rundown and irritable. The

symptoms may be of short duration and

slight irritation, or they could last longer and

cause you considerable discomfort.

Because these symptoms are the same as

those that show up in certain illnesses,

changing your diet or lifestyle can result in

misunderstanding . . .

If I am doing something that is supposed to

be good for me, why do I have these

unpleasant symptoms ? Why do I feel worse,

and not better ?

Understanding this apparent contradiction is

perhaps the first, and most important, hurdle

you must get over when making a dietary or

lifestyle change.

If you consider this contradiction carefully,

however, it is easy to understand. Think of

how you might have experienced this on a

short-term basis. If you do not get regular

exercise and then play some softball with

your kids, the next day you might feel bad -

tired with sore muscles. This is your body

reacting to something that it is not used to

doing. You can see the same thing when

you stop a regular activity; if you are a soda

drinker and stop drinking soda

for a while, you may notice that you have less

energy and you may even have a headache.

When you change your diet or lifestyle, the

same thing happens; your body reacts to the

change.

Why does this happen ?

As we live, toxins accumulate in our bodies.

Some of these are due to our diet and others

are due to the environment around us. Of

course, our lifestyle also fits in - if you smoke

or use alcohol you are accumulating even

more toxins. When you make a change in diet

or lifestyle, through stopping a bad habit or

eating better, your cells begin to eliminate the

toxic substances. Before finding the exit,

however, the toxins are released into the

bloodstream and are carried through the

circulatory system.

This transportation and elimination may result

in headache, diarrhea, or constipation, and

often toxins are eliminated through the skin,

resulting in rashes or skin problems

(especially if you are prone to such problems).

You may also feel a lack of energy, especially

if you are eliminating meats from your diet.

(The protein found in meat is more stimulating

than that found in vegetables.) You may also

find that, with the absence of toxins, you

absorb substances more easily. Thus, the

sugar and caffeine in a soda might really set

you off.

In a nutshell, we could say that the body

always goes for quality, and when the food

coming in is of higher quality than the present

tissue, the body will discard the present tissue

because it wants to make room for tissue

created by the higher-quality food.

How severe are the symptoms and how

long do they last ?

How long the symptoms last and how severe

they are depend on your lifestyle before

making a change and how quickly you make

a change. If you have a diet heavy in red

meats, for example, and become a vegetarian

overnight, you might have severe symptoms

for a time. If your lifestyle changes are

gradual, the symptoms could be less severe.

The duration of the symptoms might not be

linear; there is a greater chance that they will

come in cycles.

At first you may feel great and then

experience some detoxification symptoms.

After the initial toxins are flooded out, you

will feel good again, if not better. However, as

the body "goes deeper" and finds more toxins

to eliminate; the symptoms may reappear

again, and after more toxins are eliminated,

you will feel better yet. As things progress,

you will find that the period of symptoms is

shorter and the period of well- being greater.

What can I do during this period ?

The hardest thing for many people to do is

accept that they are not sick and realize that

the body is cleansing itself. Once you get

beyond this psychological barrier, the rest is

easy.

The most important thing to do can be

summed up in one word . . . Rest. Rest,

and let the body do what it needs to. If you

have the luxury of staying home, do so! If not,

cut back on social engagements and perhaps

even cut back on any exercise you are

getting. Give your body as much energy as

possible to do its jobs.

Eat light foods that are easy to digest -

consume fruits and vegetables and drink

plenty of water.

3 Top Tips for Diabetics:

1. Break Shake servings in half. (so 1 scoop in 4-5 ounces of water, wait 2 hours and then consume the other half serving) Do this morning and night.

2. Enjoy Half servings of shake whenever you feel like you need it, yes even on "Cleanse Days" if you chose to do those. You may need to order an extra can of shake to accomodate this if you are doing the 9 day cleanse. The 9 day cleanse is not recommended for Type 1's, they should only do the 30 day Moderate (1 Cleanse day per week) or Shake and Cleanse pack.

3. On Cleanse days eat a snack every hour on the hour. You may want to order additional bottle of snacks to do this as the 9 day only comes with enough snacks to accommodate 6 per day.

Now From Dr. Harper:

"If you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, then there are a few things of which you should be aware if deciding to use the Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

Type 1 diabetes

It’s common to have lower levels of glucose while on the products. Be careful with your use of insulin. I recommend to my patients that they cut their insulin in half while they do this program and adjust it accordingly. I also recommend my patients use short-acting insulin. Please consult your doctor before adjusting medication. You cannot expect to get off of insulin, of course, but you can expect to feel better and lower the levels of insulin required.

During the Shake Days you may find that the glucose levels increase. This is expected, but if the rise is too high then you can consider switching to diluting the shake with our unflavored whey protein, IsaPro, or having ½ a shake 4 times a day or ½ a shake 2 times day. Watch your glucose levels to guide you.

Type 2 diabetes

Monitor your glucose levels closely since it’s easy to have low levels while on the program. I personally recommend to my diabetics that they cut their medications in half if they are going to start on the 9-Day Program and if they are using insulin to only use the shorter-acting insulins. Please consult your doctor before adjusting medication.

A temporary glucose rise would be OK since it’s better than you falling into a hypoglycemic state, which is more dangerous than a hyperglycemic state. What we generally see is a reduction of both medication and glucose levels with this program. The Shake Days may very well show an increase in the glucose levels but as your weight goes down this generally is self-correcting. If this rise is too great for you then you can switch to just the IsaPro or you can use ½ a shake 4 times a day or reduce the amount to just ½ a shake 2 times a day.

I have also seen my patients no longer require any type of medication for diabetes, but individual differences doesn’t make this the case for everyone.* At the very least you should see a reduction in your weight and a reduction in the amount of medication that you are using."

Sherry and Bill Fox have just hit the highest rank in Isagenix, Crystal Executive!

Congratulations you two! We are so proud of you. You have earned every bit of it and you deserve all of the credit in the world.

Sherry worked Isagenix on the side for years while she had a full time job and just recently went full time. What she has accomplished just in her part time is truly admirable.

Sherry's Thoughts:
"I am grateful that Isagenix gave me a second chance to earn this rank. It became a personal goal to achieve Crystal Executive and to join the ranks of so many others that I respect. I am blessed to have the support of my family and team members. Now my attention turns to the next step of helping others on my team, and throughout this organization to achieve their personal goals and reach for greater heights for themselves and their families.

Sincerely

Sherry Fox"

Side Note: Sherry was a Cheerleader for the Washington Redskins. She was the Office Manager for Doctor Corey Cameron and this is how she learned about Isagenix. Bill just recently retired from the newspaper business and now is engaged in the Isagenix business with Sherry. He's her biggest fan, you can tell. He also told me how impressed he is by her determination. These 2 were a match made in heaven, sweetest people on earth and no one deserves the success more! Keep your eyes open for a really great story that Sherry is going to write up, coming soon.

Congratulations to Kelley Dickerhoof!

Kelley has enrolled close to 50 people in the last 2 months, she went Crystal Executive ($1500 bonus) in 30 days and this month she is probably going to get 5,000 in the 1 Star Pool. This means she will have made about $11,000 in her first 75 days! I can think of many powerful business minded people that could do the very same thing if they gave Isagenix this same kind of commitment.

I hope this inspires those of you who are thinking about Executive and participating in the Pay Pools.

Bottom Line, you get out of Isagenix what you put in! Kelley is being rewarded for taking massive action and sharing something she believes in. Way to go Kelley!
