Health, Wealth and Happiness

I’ve been telling you about this great product Mila by Lifemax, and I’ve said that I’ve gotten great results.  You know what comes next.  Mila does not claim to diagnose or cure any condition or disease.  My results while recent and accurate may not be duplicated by you. 

These results do back up previous medical studies done by LifeMax about Mila.  If you’re tuning in for the first time, a clinical study conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston concluded that the raw whole food Mila, matched the leading statin drug in its ability to lower both LDL and systolic blood pressure.  One can find details of this and many other studies at Mila’s website. 

My personal, but slightly less scientific study came about last summer (July ‘09) when my doctor did a stress test and took various other tests.  I told her that I did not want to go onto statin drugs and would lower my cholesterol with natural/alternative methods.  As I walked out of the doctor’s office, I wondered how in the heck I was going to do that. 

In September my wife, Dr. Malia, was introduced to Mila.  My reaction as her husband and a network marketer was “You did what?!”  As an incredible gift, her high school friend actually put her in the business.  After I calmed down, I realized that Dr. Malia, an expert on nutrition and alternative/complimentary medicine, should be respected by her husband.  In October I began using Mila on an almost daily basis. 

Mila, the miracle seed, is a mixture of Salvia hispanica L. seed that has been carefully selected to maximize its nutritional value.  Our proprietary system insures that every serving is optimized for the highest bioavailability and nutritional value.  Mila gives the body what it needs — Omega 3s, protein, fiber and phytonutrients.  By giving the body proper nutrition, you help the body heal itself, which is the basic premise of whole food nutrition. 

Now my results:                       7/09                12/09

Total Cholesterol                      264                  197

Triglycerides                             332                  115

HDL (Good Cholesterol)             36                    43

LDL (Bad Cholesterol)               162                   131

Fasting glucose level                113                   100

Heart Pumping Ejection Fraction is 54% (50% is normal)

Weight                                      207                    197

As you can see, these are all positive changes. I suggest using this raw, whole food product.  See for yourself.  Chia seeds are available in health food stores in a much lower quality.  The very reasonable price for Mila is well worth it!

Results of the tests done by Kaiser Moanalua Clinic in Aiea (Oahu) were evaluated and reported by Dr. Kathy Manzoku-Kanja at the Pensacola Clinic of Kaiser Permanente in Honolulu. 

   I tell ya, I wish I had a quarter for every Superfood, every ‘can’t miss’

health product, every opportunity that is just alright, OK or sometimes

mediocre.  Sometimes you get hooked on a business and you just have

to  use that product, and tell everyone that it is the best.  You have to

believe it too, cuz you’re on autoship and they NEED to be too.

   Well, guess what.  After my wife, Dr. Malia found this product, Mila by

Lifemax, I was skeptical.

   It is the Chia Seed, which has been available for a while in Health Food

stores.  It is the superfood of the Aztecs, used by their elite runners to

excel in their craft.  It has been studied by a Dr. who found a proprietary

way to prepare it to maximize it’s potency.

   I am now on board, and so far have lost 13 lobs since adding it to my

daily intake.  I either add it to my oatmeat, yogurt, or orange juice and it is

a protein.  It tastes a bit nutty, but not really like anything.

   The real test has been done and the results are coming any day now.

Last week I went on for a cardio stress test and according to the techs it

went very well.

   Earlier this year my Dr. had told me that the cholesterol levels were too

high and I should go on statins to bring it down.  I told here NO, I will bring

it down myself, although I did not know how.  And then came Mila, stay

tuned.   (tune in to  www.rickemmerich.lifemax.net 

or www.spondordaddy.rickemmerich.com

   We flew into Kona this morning, only 12 hours ago, but it seems like

a week’s worth of activity just settling back into Hilo.  Ya know, the Big 

Island is large, with different weather patterns and we went from the 

hot, dry, surface of the moon West side over the North side through rainy

Waimea and down South into Hilo.

   If you don’t care about the geography, it’s cool.  I am working, by the

way.  In search of the elusive Wifi, I returned to my old haunt, Bayfront 

Coffee, Tea and Kava.  There’s a rousing acoustic jam going on, with a 

gutiar and 2 ukeleles, and a singer that is ALMOST on key.  And I said

ALMOST.  It is painful at times, yet the spontaniety and the joy of the

participants is infectious.

   I have my Wifi and need to get some important details and a couple of

critical emails sent.  Meanwhile here I am blogging.  Oh well.  The sur-

roundings have me ready to sing along, and continue to relax.

   My normal routine here is a shot of Noni, with a shell or 2 (or 3)

of Kava, which natually, organically and almost magically relaxes me 

gets me ready for my rest later.  The small of cooking brownies is 

intoxicating and that may be next on the menu for me.

   These people were my peeps back in the ealry 70s, and the Grateful

Dead years.  Well, actually anyone that really was into THAT THEN is 

perhaps no longer with us, and these guys are incarnations.  But that’s

just a minor detail.

   I get to work for real in the morning, and my efforts to share Yellow 

Pages seem almost contradictory to this wonderful scene all around me.

But, this post is NOT meant to market, to share deep knowledge, or to

persuade-only to somehow relate to ya how wonderful this moment is.

  OK, one more glass of Kava, Rick Emmerich

Check this one out.  It comes on the heals of my Cardio/Nuclear Stress Test the other day.  Good info for all of us that like a cold glass of water now and then.  Oh, yeah will be talking about the test soon…

I have.  And I wasn’t really trying.  Some may say that I must have started exercising.  I wish I had, but no.

I have not eaten more salads or eaten less.  OK, maybe just a little.  But after plateauing for the last 20 months at 207 (after losing about 18 Lbs) I am now down to 200 with gusts to 198.  Yeah I am fired up.  Other health benefits have popped up, and I will get to those.

First, about Mila.  Mila, by Lifemax is the Chia Seed, prepared in a proprietary way to be the most bio-available.  It gives me my Omega Fatty Acids and is easily prepared just by dumping a scoop in the morning into my water.  I stir with a knife or spoon and drink.  OJ can be used for those that want to hide it a little but no need in my opinion.

I suggest having another scoop either in food or in the same manner later in the day.

I met the CEO Paul Rogers and he seems really down to earth, while maintaining that high and intense profile as well.  He was very approachable considering I am really a rookie in this company.  My wife got in as she was enticed by a high school classmate into joining.

Once Dr. Malia (my wife) gives a product her Seal of Approval I’m generally on board at least for personal use.

As unusual as it is to get such quick results, I have jumped in with both feet. 

More info will follow of course, and I love the attitude of the company.  Use the product, if your lucky someone will give you a bag for free, and see how you like it.  There is no hype that I know of and the way the company is expanding, they clearly have it together and a great World-vision.

Anyhow, go to http://rickemmerich.lifemax.net to find out more.  Rick Emmerich

OK folks, here goes.

   I have told you all that I have lost weight and that I have started taking a whole food supplement called Mila by Lifemax.  It’s this simple.  I mix the powder, which is Chia seed using a proprietary processing method…..with water.  It tastes kind of neutral and looks like it’s really good for you.  Those of us old enough just know that medicine or something good for you (spinach and its vegetable cousins, for example) don’t taste like Kool Aid.

   After a nice full glass I eat my meals.  I usually get my morning dose, whether my wife puts it in the oatmeal or if I take it with water, as above.  Most of the time, I get a second glass or have it in food, but noit all the time.  This is why I am amazed at the weight loss.  I had not started exercising intil the other day, and I therefore am expecting more loss.

   So here is my favorite value meal these days.  Please don’t think that I am encouraging ‘value meals’ but time and finances sometimes push me to the dollar menu.  They love me at Drive-Through.  I gave up making jokes there however, because so many don’t really speak English as their first language.

   I get a McDouble with no pickles and no cheese.  That cheese is something made in a lab, I believe.  (I just don’t like pickles.)  I then order the star, a side salad.  The dressing is Paul Neuman which is pretty good and either just enough or sometimes a little too much.  I splurge with a Parfait which has surprisingly tasty and attractive fruit on  the botom and Vanilla Yogurt.  It is just enough fruit to seem healthy and just sweet enough to allow me to bypass the dollar Chocolate sundae.

   Now, you MAY be saying to yourself that they see old Dollar Menu Guy (me) driving down the street and specially make these items extra good.  Or Not.  I think that this is what they always serve.  So, back to the Mila.  For about 3 months now I have taken the product on average every day at least once.  They recommend 2, as I do.  I forget though.

   I had lost 16 lbs from 223 to 207 about 2 yearts ago using an herbal tea rather regularly.  In fact it made me more regular, cleansing the colon.  I gave up the tea after it just became a hassle to do all the time.  I managed to keep the weight off, good for me. 

   I had stopped drinking soda about 5 years ago after years of habitual Pepsi consumption.  I really had issues going back 5 1/2 years ago when I had  a heart attack. I cut back on red meat.  I’ve been pretty good, eating better and moving to paradise (Hawaii) and now receiving acupuncture, regular Chiropractic and Energy Healing.

   So to lose 9 MORE lbs when I really wasn’t trying was, well, “Now we got something.” 

   So Mila, by Lifemax is it.  There are so many testimonials that are more powerful than mine, and studies, we GOT studies.  Lots.

Thank God I have my wife, my God, my cats, my blog, my health, family, the weather here in paradise and my career.  I wish you all love, peace and happiness at this time of year, AND thought you might like this.

All the Best in 2010, and as I do, take some time to just breathe, relax, sleep some and get ready for a hot 2010.  Rick Emmerich

You know I could not resist this one.  Lions.  Some of you may think because I am from the midwest that I MAY right about the Detroit Lions, very much the BAD NFL team, and a study in futility.  WRONG.

It’s the Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.  Surprised?  I am a Christian, not just a suggestion or a once-in-a-while act I put on.  I heard the word at the age of 38 or 39 I believe after some varied exposure and after preparing by being involved in very selfish, destructive, and somtimes major sin for years.

I believed the Word, again, after much messing up in my life, I guess God said, this one’s ready to do some work for me.  Having owned a Bible for years but developing a layer of dust on it as I packed it up and moved it from place to place, never to open it.  I really went after it, and studied the Bible with some of my peers who knew what it meant and lived what it said.

I repented, having done things wrong for so long, I had to make a strong effort to reverse course and move away from the behaviors, thoughts and atitudes that had me in the dark.  I was serious and welcomed the assistance of the others who now were geting to know me.  They started to hold me accountable.

I understood what I studied, asked questions and certainly answered a lot of them as I made my way through studies.  I drove an hour each Sunday and worshipped with other believers.  I noticed the diversity of the fellowship, the joy and the zeal to hear the Word and implement it in the disciples’ lives.

On that important night, and following some extra soul-searching and thought and prayer, I confessed “Jesus is Lord!” as I acknowledged that He lived, died and was crucified, and then resurrected on the third day for the forgiveness of all of our sins. 

And then I got baptised, fully immersed, and shot up out of the water.  My sins were washed away, forgiven and I was added to God’s Kingdom!  I received the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Wow. 

I understand that some of you (is anyone left?) may not believe that all of these steps are necessary.  Heck, just say a prayer, or ‘have something emotional happen.’  My Bible says to do what I did and that’s what they did in the first century after the Day of Pentecost, when Jesus’ disciples were still alive. 

So, that’s what I did and if you want to take your chances by following a teaching that came about in the 18th Century in England or here in the US…let me know how that works for you.

PS To any who are curious or serious about studying the Bible let me know and I can perhaps arrange for that to happen.

   Thank God I had a heart attack.  It changed my life, and I have a life now, of immeasureable gratitude.  My goal is to be grateful every day and express that to God and to others.  This arena helps, of course.

   Whati is your Thank God experience?  What can you add at the end of that little phrase that is real for you and you can share with the world?  John Demarrtin ihas taken me through the Breakthrough Experience several times where we ‘confront’ and process situations in our lives that were challenging and that shaped our current situation.

   Many are not pretty.  Many of us became victims, and were quite ready to tell eveyone how bad the world was treating us.  I could see and sense my impoending doom and ‘knew’ that my health was in danger 5 years ago.  It took the heart attack to shock me into change.  Now, I am not 100% where I want to be.  I am a work in progress for sure.  But lots has happened, and Lots CAN happen when we get disatisfied with where we have brought our lives.

   Go from Victim to Victor.  John’s books share his teachings and his magnificent and intense Breatkthrough Weekends may be coming to a metropolitan area near you.; He loves to come to Honolulu, but it’s not what you think, or what I had thoought.  Since his mission or purpose it to travel the world speaking to as many as possible and to get paid handsomel;y for it, this guy never seems to enjoy the scenery when he’s here. It’s work work work.

   But that’s his passion.  What is yours?  Or what would it be if you could do anything you wanted?

   Thank God I is a community of like-minded people and authors, (not that we have any non-people authors.)  Anyone can visit and I especially urge those who have the talent to write to share your experiences.  Heck, you may even be a part of a book one of these days.  John Castagnini, the founder of Thank God I (no relation to John Demartini has the passion to share this project and help empower others and enlighten thousands in the process.

   Npw this is not the right place to give you an in-depth sudy of Dr. John’s techings, it’s much too small to do them justice.  Nor have I devoted enough time to really tell about Thank God I, but you can research both, and I recommend that.  John says a few things that I repeat often and here they are;  “I am perfect the way I am”  “Whoever I am and what ever I have done, I am worthy of love.”  (I may have paraphrased that one.)  “I do what I love, and I love what I do”

   The idea is that we can stand up and scream “Thank God I” and then fill in the blank with that terrible thing that happened, the pain that we have had for years, or the situation tha was up-til now holding us back.

   If you are intrigued, go to http://www.thankgodi.com/184.html   In early 2010 Thank God I will have our 3rd book on the shelves and I expect to be one of the authors.  Also some previews are at http://rickemmerich.com

OK, honestly, he’s a fan of the Cal Bears, his Alma Mater.  I have been a Chicago Bears fan since I was 5, a LONG time.  After Thurs Nite’s Bears-49ers game, I feel like I need to vent a little so that’s what led to this letter.

Well, who knows what’s around the corner for them. I sense that the window of opportunity is not going to be open that long and guys like Kruetz, Garza and other linemen may be gone in a year or two. When Erlacher went down for a whole year, ya wonder what else he will have in the tank.

Oddly enough, perhaps the Broncos are the model team here, with their strong line play and the ability to plug in different RBs over the last 10 years and now a less than stellar QB.

I’ve said it before, when they can get to a very good club in the trenches, the DBs and then the skill positions on Offense, THEN if they can add the Special Teams, perhaps and return to their glory.… Read More

Obviously they have a Very Good QB, and just as obviously, their Wideouts are not getting good separation.

I just remember how, a couple of years back they would struggle struggle through a game, and even fall way behind only to mount a furious comeback based on INTS, fumbles, good bounces and the famous Hester returns.

I think it’s next year or time to blow up the team, except at QB and some of the younger players. THe Orlando Pace bandaid attempt and the aging LBs may not make it to the next glory years.

That said, ya never know about this year. Beyond the Saints, Atlanta, Dallas?, Philly, the Vikings and those dreaded Cardinals, the Bears can compete with the rest.
