I’m the I Got a Guy Guy.  Not the original, of course.  But the new I Got a Guy Guy.  The original was Tommy, an Italian guy in Chicago.  Everyone in his family and neighborhood knew he could get something or someone when you were in need.

Another famous I Got a Guy Guy was Radar in M.A.S.H.  Lost a couple of you didn’t I?.  (Tommy was cooler.)

If you needed cable TV, He had a guy.  Want a dish, He had a guy.  Want to know how to rub a steak just right before you grilled it.  He was the guy.

And, when it started snowing in Chicago, He WAS the guy.  He was the one that told the snowplows where to go.  He routed them up and down the streets of the Windy City until the snow was removed.  He was the first one there and often, turned offf the lights when he left.  You could count on Tommy.

I can’t be as good as Tommy.  His legend lives on.  But I am a sorta hybrid I Got a Guy Guy.  I can do some things.  Now, I really want to share that if I don’t know something, or I DON’T got a guy-I will tell you.

But if you want a good restaurant in Honolulu, I got a guy.  You want to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the US to anywhere else, I got a guy.  You want to hear a story about that lost decade from 1975 to 1985, I can tell a few (true) stories.

Would you like to lower your cholesterol?  Tricglycerides?  That’s me.

Lower your golf score, not so much.  Find a golf course on Oahu, THAT I can do. 

You want to share your business with everyone on these Hawaiian Islands, I’m your guy.  You want to share it through Yellow Pages and a Search Engine in some selected places on the mainland, I am your guy.  Need an extra income stream, guess who.

You need a colonic, or a massage, or some earthworms, or some baby lion-eared bunnies, I got a guy-or girl.  You like to travel, want to travel for free or just save a chunk of change, I can help.

Need a Chiropractor, my wife is the best (Holistic Chiropractic.)

Go ahead, put me to the test.  Rick Emmerich

Front Page of our paper and from the AP, out of Chicago comes this gem.  Nurse may become you doctor.  Well now, is that so?  We are running out of primary care doctors so why not expand the authority of nurse practitioners. Yeah why not.  (Our shortage is even more acute in HI, namely the Big Island.)

Well, guess what? I don’t have a strong opinion here and I am not going to whip one up.  This does warrant a comment though.  The bottom line is, when will my fellow Americans start to really consider the importance of nutrition, alternative and complementary medicine?  Are we getting tired of Sick Care?

Is it just the nature of so many of us to wait til the body is ‘all buss up’ as they say here in Hawaii until they go to the MD.  Is it when the Doctor says “go on Statin drugs or else’ or “you’re a ticking time bomb” or things like that.  Is THAT when we shape up?

For me it took a heart attack to get my attention.  Check previous blogs to get the whole story.

32 million more people will get insurance in the next few years.  I am in the wrong business.  I guess I’ll become a MD and open a drive-thru clinic.  hmmmmm.  Do we think it may be harder to get to that Dr. down the road?

Wouldn’t it feel fantastic to improve your health naturally, without meds?  Though not a Dr. myself, i married one and her knowledge has rubbed off on this stubborn dude.  I share tidbits from my life, not so much from books.  The advice from nutritional experts has proved valuable to me and I like to share.

Anyhoo, what I do is a daily routine, with a scoop of Mila by Lifemax each day to get my Omega 3s, fiber, and phyto-nutrients.  It has gotten my cholesterol and triglycericdes down and my weight too.  Just Mila, and 6 ounces of water, every day. 

I then take a tablespoon of All-One Green Phyto Base, Multiple Vitamin & Mineral Powder from vitacost.com.  I mix that with Knudsen’s Morning Blend Juice, which I get from the health food store.  I then have some (good quality) oatmeal, or granola (from the health food store) with some fruit, nuts, perhaps some plain yogurt.  Sometimes, also, 2 (preferrably Organic) eggs, poached on (very good bread) toast.  That’s my power breakfast.

I then use common sense with the rest of my meals and eat less at dinner than lunch.  Works for me.

Now about those nurses.  To the one in Chicago that is saying she’s just like a Dr. only paid less.  Not true, wait til you get that official.  It may be the only final common sense result.  Btw, I have always LOVED nurses and they probably don’t get enough respect, but that’s another blog………  Rick Emmerich

MIla:  http://lifemax.net/drmalia

Mila by Lifemax is a rather new company sharing an ‘old’ whole food, making a triumphant ‘new’ return. 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.  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 (Emmerich), 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.

To keep things as controlled as possible I did not change my diet or exercise.  After the 2nd study I did exercise some, which I know is good for me, but other than a couple more ponds lost, I have not changed much, or been retested (a 3rd time.)

If anything I had gone on a McDonalds Dollar Menu binge for a while in Sept. and Oct.  A typical visit would be a McDouble with no pickles and a Side Salad, not using all the  dressing.  I would start the meal with a Parfait, fruit and vanilla yogurt.  I’ve since re-evaluated those choices.  

When I go now, I may still get the yogurt and eat it first, but the McDouble with be without cheese as well.  (I think that cheese is made in a lab.  Trust me, I’ve toned down the Golden Arches visits lately.  It’s hard to eat there and still call myself hearthealthguy (Twitter) or write this blog (health, wealth and happiness.) 

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                    193

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. 

It’s late and I have NOT written in a while.  Does that mean I am gonna mail it in?  Just put out some really quick, low quality, half-__ed ’stuff’ just to have another blog out?  Is that what you are thinkin’?

Well, you’re right!!! or…..not.

I want you to know that I am serious about building a raw, whole food business into a huge organization in the next 4 months.  It will be a lot of work, with a lot of help and a proven system, along with people finding ME in 3 different ways. 

1.  Belly to Belly.  That’s me, (and you?) calling to make an appointment or invite someone to a meeting and doing that meeting to share the biz.  A lot of people get this, but stick around.

2.  I will, and yes I’ve done it before, I WILL call a ton of people all over the country to share this and get them to my website.  You’re half way there, just open your eyes and check this site for the Links, or….stick around.

3.  This good old internet.  As I am learning it is OK and even cool to share via this gold mine of communication tool.  I mean, how else would I connect with someone in the Philippines, or Ireland, or the Maritime Provences of Canadia (yes, I did that on purpose, have a sense of humor) all, while I was sleeping?

From American Cancer Society 2003 (and the book Born To Run-get it and read it)  “compare lean and heavy people-heavier men and women are FAR more likely to die from at least 10 types of cancer.”  Just sayin, is it time for YOU to address the weight or high cholesterol.  Would it shock your system to put a raw whole food in it that gives you a high amount of Omega 3s???  Do your loved ones deserve the great product we have?  Don’t we all deserve better heart health?  I AM @hearthealthguy btw.

PS  Mila, by Lifemax is having Hotel meetings all over, and I am calling to invite contacts to them.  If interested, I can get you the info.  Contact by email rickemmerich@gmail.com or phone 808 371-6501

“Cut fat-cut cancer risk…change your lifestyle and you can reduce your risk of cancer by 60% to 70%”  Dr. Robert Weinberg. 

And last, but certainly not least    WHO wants to join me and make an extra 60 grand in the next 4 months?  Yes, that’s a lot and yes, it will take dedication, direction-following, commitment, early and late hours, and an investment.  But if you DO this with me, do you think your life will change a little by the 4th of July?  (like mine)

Will you be able to:  buy more groceries, give more money to those you love that need it (Carrie and Trish), tithe more (yeah), pay off all debt, get a better car, quit THAT job, fill in the blank __________________.

Let’s do this…..  Oh yeah, it’s Mila by Lifemax, Rick Emmerich 808 371-6501

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.

   If you want more info, hit me up.  Rick Emmerich   http://rickemmerich.lifemax.net  or to read more about me and some other, maybe MORE interesting subjects, go to http://rickemmerich.com

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

My wife, Dr. Malia and I have been blessed to find a product that we want to share with as many people as possible. It is the first demonstratable product that proves to be 100% beneficial.
I want to share a few of the benefits that my wife and I have experienced and I hope that some will do their due dilligence and find out more.
First, what it is NOT.
1. Not a crazy-hyped get rich scheme with a mediore product that really doesn’t matter.
2. No hype celebrities that gladly lend their name-for the right price.
3. No great hype endorsements like the NFL. That costs millions to attain. Of course, it is on the GRAS Generally Regarded As Safe Ingredients List.
4. It’s NOT growing so fast that if you don’t get in right away-you’ll miss it.
Some benefits are: better, deeper sleep. Some say they get relief from aches and pains. My vision has gotten dramatically better. I feel more protected from EMFs and our tests show that to be the case. Others have documented dramatic shifts in blood sugar counts to become more healthy.
So why is this company flying under the radar? Well, I feel that as it has attrracted mostly regular people with a healthy sprinkling in of Doctors. There is no system yet that is causing top networkers to build at a high rate of speed. It also has not yet launched. All the kinks seem to be worked out though.
Oh yeah, it’s called Nutrazon and next time I assume I will tell you about the herbs and healthy ingredients that make it special. ‘for now, here’s the link to find out more, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dauB2oIreYQ AND although I said there was no system yet, I got one for ya. www.rickemmerich.sponsordaddy.com Rick Emmerich

I bet this has happened to you too.  You get a fellow networked on the phone and proceed to give him or her your pitch.  Better yet, you keep it real short and then send them a link.

The ensuing conversaton goes like this doesn’t it.

“Well, looks like a good product/opportunity/deal BUT let me show you what I am doing.”

So, what then?  Here’s the answer.

http://www.rickemmerich.sponsordaddy.net

Check it out for yourself-works for any business.   laters, Rick Emmerich

   I hope you all are having a great day.  I realize many of you actually enjoy the hype-filled Type A frantic build-your-downline-in-one-month run-around.  Who cares about a product anyway?

   I get it.  You’re the best.  Your Comp-Plan is the best.  You’re going straight to the top OR, in 3 weeks the NEXT Latest Greatest will catch your attention.  Like a SI swimsuit model walking past your house in her workclothes, you’ll follow that.  And there you go, off to the races, until the whole cycle repeats, and you tire of yet another mediocre product. 

   I know, it’s the newest best gimmicky pay plan that no one else has.  Well I happen to NOT be a pay plan specialist, but I prefer the newer hybrids when pressed.

   But back on focus.  Wouldn’t it be refreshing to REALLY have a product that you can show and demo and avoid that 20 minute convincing call.  Or worse yet, the 40 minute ’show me yours and I’ll show you mine’ call.  (Please respect me enough to not do that to me, btw.)

   No Hype here.

   If curious go to our generic site.  http://www.teamonewellness.com  Watch our demos.  BTW there are at least 5 other tests, but we believe in K.I.S.S. and duplication.  To see further, go to http://www.nutrazon.com/rickemmerich

   No matter what, you  really need to be demo’d and have that sample.  That is the best way to find out that really, each and every time we show this product for the first time, the test/demo show that it works for everyone.  (No more taking a nutritional product on faith and waiting 30 to 90 days to see if it works or not.)

   EVERYONE WE TEST SHOWS MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT IN UP TO 4 AREAS.  Then that first ounce WORKS.

   Balance, flexibility, meridian tests, cell phone emfs, strength tests all can be tested.   KISS, can you ytake one minute to be tested.  Nope, see ya.  Yes, do it and can you then duplicate that?  Are you trainable?  Hey, maybe thios is for you.

   If you join us in one of the many ways to get started, you get a free back office, website and shopping cart.  There is no monthly cost.  It IS 35 bucks (cheaper than Costco) to be a member.  That renews each year for 20 bucks only.

   FYI:  Releive stress*, sleep better*, relief some aches and pains*, balance, better, be more flexible, be stronger, recover quicker*, see better*, more mental clarity.*  These, in combinations are most mentioned as benefits.    * My benefits

   Call me if necessary.  If in one of the 3 or 4 pockets of concentration in the whole US, I can get you a sample and demo quickly.  Especially beneficial for athletes and the elderly.  Our scientific demos and testing is ongoing every week here in Honolulu.     Rick Emmerich  oh yeah, it’s called Nutrazon
