Participant Feedback:
Here's what Serge Gravelle, President/CEO of My Mall Network Corporation, had to say about the Switched-On Selling Seminar:
"The results were instantaneous; within 24 hours, we had closed seven contracts, seven times more than we had done during the preceding eight months. By the end of the week, we had signed eighteen contracts. The best part is that I enjoyed making the sales, a feeling I had a hard time experiencing in the past."

Company Blows The Competition Out Of The Water During The Recession

A year ago August during the middle of the recession, Kevin Kordek, CEO A-Active Termite and Pest Control, put half his sales force through the one-day Switched-On Selling Seminar.

I spoke to him last August and Kordek told me that six of the eight people immediately jumped to above his top tier salespeople.
Next, his company became the #1 distributor in the country on two of his high-end product lines, and one of his salespeople increased his closing percentage by 300 percent!

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

This Week on My Internet Radio Show: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND BUDDHISM – TWO WAYS INTO YOUR MIND

Buddhism and Western psychology are two disciplines that can enhance and enrich both the mind and spirit. What’s the difference and how are they similar?

Learn about the inter-relationship between the two as I interview Pilar Jennings, Ph.D.. Dr. Jennings received her Ph.D. in Psychiatry and Religion from Union Theological Seminary. She’s a researcher at the Columbia University Center for Study of Science and Religion.

She’s a long-term practitioner of Buddhist meditation techniques and has just written the book Mixing Minds: The Power of Relationship in Psychoanalysis and Buddhism. You’re not going to want to miss this one. www.PilarJennings.com

A Way To Have More Strokes: Drink Diet Sodas

There’s an easy way to increase your risk of having a stroke: drink diet sodas.

According to a study reported at the American Stroke Association Conference, diet soda drinkers had a 61% higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

The researchers followed 2,500 New Yorkers for one plus years and found that people who drink diet soda every day had this increased risk.

Just think for a moment what’s in a diet soda – phosphoric acid, artificial colors, artificial favors and other assorted chemicals. Yummy!

So…water anyone?

To Stretch Or Not To Stretch Before You Exercise

The wisdom has been to stretch before you run so that you reduce injuries caused by not being warmed up.

A recent study reported by George Washington University is challenging that wisdom. They divided runners into two groups. One stretched before running and the other didn’t.

The researchers found that injury rate was the same for both groups, about 16%.

However, they did find that runners who were regular stretchers before being put into the non-stretch group had a 40% higher chance of injury.

For the non-stretchers who were part of the stretching group, their risk of an injury went up 22%. 

What this means to me is if you are a stretcher, keep stretching and if you’re a non-stretcher, don’t.

Cheer Yourself Up The Fast Way – Inhale

The fastest way to cheer yourself up when you are feeling down is to sniff something pleasant.

Charles Wysocki, PhD, a behavioral neuro-scientist from Mondell Chemical Senses Center found that sniffing works faster to change your mood than looking at a treasured souvenir or hearing a favorite song.

He compared the olfactory system to an interstate and our visual and auditory system to country roads.

This means your sense of smell will affect your brain faster. And the cheeriest scent may be citrus since it boosts the release of norepinephrine, a mood-regulating hormone.

So…cut that lemon or orange and inhale.

Add In Watching TV And Computer Time For A Negative Result

I just discussed the impact of too much sitting. Now add time spent in front of a TV, computer or video game and you’re really affecting your cardiovascular health.

Researchers from the United Kingdom followed 4,500 Scottish men and women, looking at the impact of screen time. They found that people who spent at least two hours of leisure time in front of a TV or computer were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack or other cardiac event.

Those who spent four or more hours in front of the screen were 50% more likely to die.

For these screen people, their weight was higher, their cholesterol, C-reactive protein and other metabolic risk factors were all higher.

Interestingly, there were no negative links with activities such as reading, playing cards or board games.

Ways To Treat Back Pain

Back pain is all around us. It’s the most common type of pain and 30% of women and 26% of men will be struck by it during any given year.

Since more and more of us are sitting for longer and longer periods of time, this figure will probably continue to rise.

Sitting actually puts more pressure on the back than when you walk or even just stand.

There are a number of things you can do about it.

1. Get up every hour and take a short stretch break.
2. Lose weight if you are overweight.
3. Don’t overdo exercising on the weekend.
4. See a chiropractor or acupuncturist.
5. Take 2000 mg of Vitamin C every day.
6. Get a standing desk.
7. Do the Shiatsu (a Japanese finger pressure technique) lower back pain treatment.

A Side Effect From Taking Beta-Blocker Drugs – Weight Gain

A study by Australian researchers published in the International Journal of Obesity found that adults on beta-blockers weighed more and had larger waistlines.

The study looked at 11,400 adults with high blood pressure and/or diabetes. The researchers also found that the participants in the study burned fewer calories and fat after a meal.
 
The patients on beta-blockers also reported lower levels of physical activity. The researchers actually hypothesized that the widespread use of beta-blockers may be fueling the obesity epidemic.

The only group that will actually benefit from statins and beta-blockers are people who have a genetic defect called familial hypercholesterolemia.

So…if your doc wants to you take beta-blockers, make sure you’ve got that genetic defect before you agree to take beta-blockers; otherwise, experiment with the diet, exercise and alternative therapies route first.

An Unexpected Problem With Monsanto’s Roundup

There’s another problem with Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup besides it’s encouraging the growth of super weeds, and the need for ever greater applications of insecticide. The unexpected issue is radioactivity.

It turns out that phosphate ore is mined to produce phosphorus which is used to make glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup.

To get the phosphorus, Monsanto maintains the only plant in the US that refines the phosphate ore.

At the end of the process you are left with molten slag which contains radioactive uranium and radium.

Oh, by the way, Monsanto produces over 200 million pounds of the stuff every year. crazy for the environment!

Cutting Pain From Osteoarthritis Of The Knee

You’ve got osteoarthritis of the knee so you reach for the ibuprofen. Would you like more natural choices as effective as ibuprofen?

That would be curcumin or glucosamine. A study reported in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine compared the two with ibuprofen.

The research showed that the anti-inflammatory properties of these substances gave subjects relief from knee pain.

If you want to use them, take 1 gram of curcumin or 1,500 mg of glucosamine a day. (If you take blood thinners, talk to your doctor first).

Cutting Back On Teachers – Seeing The Outcome

The High Cost of Low Teacher Salaries…

I don’t usually include politically oriented blurbs in The Teplitz Email report, however, this one may have a long-term affect on the health of teachers and students.

Just listen to the amount of stress that teachers have coming at them.

The quote below was written by Harriet Vines, Ph.D., Age Smart Associates.

“After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:

          'Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

          You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self-esteem and personal pride...

          You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

          You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.

          You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.

          You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.

          You want me to do all this and then you tell me .... I CAN’T PRAY?'"

A recent rendition of her quote added, “That I'm greedy; that I have an easy job; that my pension is too big; that my salary should be frozen; and that I should pay for my own health insurance. And, also, that my union should not be able to bargain for better working conditions.”

Maybe as a country we need to look closer at the decisions we are making on where to cut the deficit?

A Unique Way To Improve A Child’s Concentration And Reduce ADHD

A 2010 study published by the NPI Center (Natural and Nutritional Products Industry Center) worked with children with ADHD. The children were given krill oil for a period of 13 weeks.

The study compared EEG patterns and found that the children taking krill oil markedly improved their concentration by 60%.

A 2007 study found that adults taking krill oil reported a 50% improvement in planning skills and 49% improvement in social skills. The dose of krill oil was 500 mg per day.

The omega-3 fat in the krill oil improved the symptoms of

more effectively than drugs like Ritalin and Concerta.

A good source of krill oil is from Mercola.com.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Affecting Age-Related Macular Degeneration

A study published in the Archives of Opthalmology found that omega-3 fatty acids may significantly reduced the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The researchers followed 38,022 women for 10 years. They found a 45% lower risk of AMD occurring. Since AMD has no other recognized means of disease prevention, using omega-3 is a real breakthrough.

The participants were eating one or more servings of fish per week. While the study used fish oil,  I believe the same krill oil in the article before this one will have the same positive impact as the fish eaten in this study.

So…two results for the price of one supplement.

Strep Throat May Cause Rheumatic Fever

If as a kid you had rheumatic fever, you need to be aware that an untreated strep throat can retrigger your rheumatic fever, which is an inflammatory disease that can affect the heart, joints and central nervous system.

There is a particular type of strep bacterium called group A bhs that is the one that can trigger an autoimmune response, causing the body to turn on itself. One of the proteins on the strep bacterium’s surface is called the M protein. The M protein structurally resembles certain heart proteins. The body’s natural defense response is to create antibodies to fight the strep and the M protein.

This leads to the body attacking some of the heart tissue and heart values. Damage to the values can lead to permanent and often serious rheumatic heart disease.

Since a lot of docs might never have seen rheumatic fever thanks to its near elimination, you might need to point out to your doc the connection if you’ve had rheumatic fever and you get a strep throat infection.

Power Of Resveratrol Gets A Boost

You may have heard that wine can help with aging. It turned out that it was the resveratrol in the skin of red grapes that was having the positive anti-inflammatory effect .

It also turned out that these positive changes had only been observed in the test tube.

Well, there’s now a report on its positive impact on humans. This was from a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

In the study 20 healthy participants were randomized to receive a placebo or 40 mg of resveratrol over a six-week period.

The researchers reported a potent anti-inflammatory effect for the participants treated with resveratrol.
