Health, Wealth and Happiness

Here is a post directly from some industry experts, Rick Emmericch                    Why Eat Mila – Fish Oil in the News 

Guess which one I am writing about today.

Yep, thaaaaaat one.  Yes I saw Tiger’s carefully orchestrated press conference, but I had to hear it and see tape after the fact.  Yes, I guess he gets the right to call all the shots and make the rules on HIS press conference.  And Yes I think he was sincere.

He seemed to have written it himself and I only wish he had practised it some more so he did not so robotic.  I would sayit’s clear he is not a public speaker.  But the emotion and sorrow was there.  He covered almost everything and everything HE chose to cover.

He spoke and then obviously is headed right back to the treatment facility that only he and hundreds of other choice millionaires can afford to attend.  I believe he is ’sick’ although his greed, sense of entitlement and desires probably caused this type of affliction.

I’ll pray for him and wish him the best.

I miss him on the tour, but actually I don’t watch, probaqbly cuz he is no longer on the tour.  I hope that he is totally focused so as to wait until the appropriate time family wise and heath wise to reurn.  Although, as a Christian I really love a good recovery/change story (David, Moses, Saul/Paul) I think it will be a while before he could re3aly be counted on as a successful ‘recovery.’

For  his wife’s sake and the kids, I will hope for the best.  By the way, I expect him to be able to be a BETTER golfer if y’all can imagine that, by not having all this extra curricular activity in his life.  Going way back to my professioanl foosball days I DO have a persepctive on that….

   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’m baaaaack!

   I know I have been on a health product kick lately, but ya know I really enjoy being healthy.  I am not perfect of course, I really want to get back to the gym. I get it.

   But here goes again.  I think in additon to being healthy physically, it is a must to pursue financial health.  Another stream of income MAY be what the Dr. ordered.  For anyone that does not know me, I am NOT a Doctor, I just play one on the internet.  I DId, however, marry a Chiropractor, and Dr. Malia has changed my life in more ways than one.

   She and I are working on our own careers, she the Doc, and me the Yellow Pages Salesperson.  WE really like each of them and they have been bery bery good to us.

   However, we are looking at retirement down the road and why now have the security that other streams of income provide?

  Betwen us we can help you lower cholesterol, lower Blood Pressure, and blancde the hemispheres of the brain, which will also perhaps leads to some of the above.  Better sleep, lowering of aches and pains, ALL are possible and others have more dramatic testimonies.

   You see, though, we do it because we are fans of better health, and the companies that we represent compensate us for sharing.

   Becasue health and wealth are both important to us, we look to share the comcepts we have learned with others, and that means the products too.  They are very healthy, affordable (but not cheap) and in one case demonstratable.  I other words we show right now that the product will work for you and then it works.  A lot of people say, “How can I get this stuff?” as soon as the demo/test is done. 

   While I have you attention, Malia is a great teacher and Chiropractor, so meeting with her in person, often in an appointment, is very rewarding.  If you are on Oahu, I highly recommend.  Her # is 808 596-4853.

   Finally, if curious about any of the above, get in touch with me as well.  Rick http://www.rickemmerich@gmail.com 

PS In the near future I will share with you a way to build YOUR business, whatever it is.  I knwop it’s important and those of you who are networkers, in the treanches with another company, I am not so naiive  to expect to convert you to my biz, so let’s lighten up and share what works in biz-building.  If interested in what I do and what health products I will of course accomadate.

   You know I’ve seen a bunch of good nutritional products and usually, after about one or two months, I wonder, what’s really going on here.

Usually the answer is that we’ve found another GOOD product, maybe even a great marketing plan, but I would really NOT see any results from the use of the products.

So, like many, I look around some more.  My future will be based on true HEALTH products and when I figure out that I have misfired on one, I tend to pick up the pieces and move on.

Nutrazon is a liquid nutritional which is a true category-creator.  I know, you wish you had a buck for every tiome you heard that.  Me too, up until now.  What I mean is that since the others all provide nutrition for the body hoping to help build up the immune system, or provide vitamins and minerals, they fit into the same category.  I can’t even think of the ways that juices try to spin so that people will believe that they are something other than ‘another juice.’

So, when this product, with 4 botanical ingredients came along, I actually dissed the VP at a show here in Honolulu.  He tested me, and though I was in a hurry to get somehwere else, he had the nerve to start to tell me about another juice.  Except it wasn’t.

After that rough beginning, some of us met at Dr. Twentman’s office in downtown Honolulu and I was amazed to see this drink-not a juice, perform.  We tested person after person and they all showed on a Bio Meridian machine based on Chinese meridians that the product helped them on all 3 meridians.

An astounded Dr. Craig Twentyman and an amazed Dr. Malia Emmerich also watched the results and Dr. Twentyman is documenting them as any good researcher would.

That’s enough for now, as we REALLY want people to test this product to prove that it will hlep them before they use it.  If anyone out there is intrigued enough, contact me. or go to http://www.nutrazon.com/rickemmerich   They I’ll get you a sample or if there’s a group or leader in your area, that will make it easier.

Oh yeah.  Why is Nutrazon different?  It works on the brain to balance it and then the brain can order the body to heal itself.  Pretty cool eh?

Maui is a great island to visit and a pretty cool one to work on.  I’m typing fast, because if my boss sees the time I post this, I may not be working here anymore.    (Had a good day yesterday, so starting a little later today.)

No Ka Oi means number one, and it’s hard to argue that this is the number one island or perhaps, the number one tourist destination in the US.  I know, arguably.  You can have Oahu and its hi rises, and congestion in Waikiki and on the roads commuting.  I DO live there, btw.

Maui has two main mountains, the incredible Heleakala Volcano, and then the other ones.

Heleakala dominates the view from the time you get out of the plane, down to Kihei, and central Maui is at its doorstep.  It’s so huge, because unlike other non-Hawaiian peaks, that rise from among the hills, the higher elevations and the neighboring peaks, Heleakala shoots up from sea level.

They say, that going up to the peak takes about 2 1/2 hours on the road and then produces some of the most magnificent sunrises on earth, and pretty good sunsets too.  I got in trouble with my Regional Manager because I told him I was going up there to take pics one morning.  I didn’t, but the suggestion, and the fact I missed the next morning sales meeting landed me in the dog house.

The other mountains impede the jouney to Lahaina, Kaanapali, and the West Maui resorts.  That is mostly the dry area, and the land reflects that with hues of brown.  Of course, with constant watering, the golf courses remain green.  I have to say that, the Mercedes Open just ended the other day.

Those other mountains must have a name, I’ll look.  Going to Lahaina and all those resorts, the road hugs the cliffs along the ocean.  There are 2 tunnels, I believe, and my Sprint didn’t work in a couple of places.  The quaint former whaling village of Lahaina makes for good shopping and cheeseburgers.

BTW, this isn’t going to be a detailed travel blog, but I have seen a good portion of this island.  Write and ask if you want.

Those other mountains include the Iao Valley Park, also spectacular.  Take time, and perhaps a picnic, drive out of Wailuku and vist the valley.  Make sure you bring your camera.

If you go on the famous Road to Hana, you’ll encounter Paia, about 6 miles down the road.  This is where you stock up for the ride with supplies, use the bathroom if you can find one (it’s sometimes great to be a guy), and be a tourist.

I recommend parking at the public lot at the edge of town and walking.  I also recommend Charleys Restaurant (Willie Nelson’s favorite) and Moana Bakery and Cafe on Baldwin.  I’ll be at Charleys drinking coffee and working (on the phone).

Down the road, also towards Hana is the turn to go to Haiku.  Haiku, like Paia gives me a great vibe, a sorta ex-hippie, surfer wannabe, used to like Grateful Dead feeling.  There are also good places to eat, some hairpin turns (careful) and the usual businesses.

I’m going to just say this now.  I saw/see the most beautiful women in Paia and Haiku.  Don’t know what it is, and this is certainly not a scientific study.  I’m still happily married, right honey??? 

Now, the other famous travel writers will go on and describe the Road to Hana with more hairpin turns and many waterfalls.  Drive slow and DON’T if you had too many drinks at Charleys.  This is where I get off, because, like I mentioned, I am working today.

Suffice to say, the Road is worth it.  My beautiful bride and I took that drive on our honeymoon 3 and 1/2 years ago.

I have to go now, I think there will be a part 2, perhaps with pics.  Right now, I fear that somehow my boss is monitoring every minute of my work time here, and this does not qualify. 

Now, off to Charleys for coffee. 

I watched this morbidly obese guy with no helmut riding a rather small moped down Kapahulu today.  Oh yeah, he was talking on a cell phone.  I thought it was sadly funny.

Hawaii is different from what we call the mainland.  Many things are different.

Weather.  We only have one kind.  It’s ‘nice’.  It’s either really nice, or nice.  Sometimes it rains hard.  So what.  It is still warm out.  Anyway the air is different here.  It’s nice too.

You don’t see semis on the roads.  Once in a while you will see a big truck, but it is rare.

No billboards.  I think that’s cool.  There is actually some group or society to keep billboards out.  You can’t just sneak ‘em in in the middle of the night either…..

It’s OK here (and only here) to ride around in the back of trucks.  No seats, no seat-belts of course, and no safety.  Some states seem to allow dogs (also unsafe) but here we compromise the safety of people too.  The deal does not even get mentioned-ever.  You can tell the seasoned back-of-the-truck people.  They have this smug, defiant "I’m not comfortable, but I won’t let on no matter what" look.

You’d think perhaps that it was because of the great numbers of underpaid farm workers, but no.  As more and more subdivisons gobble up the available farmland on Oahu, we see that it is for all types of people.  Young, old, even kids on dates…..

No pro sports teams play here.  Bummer.  I mean the Lakers practice here for about a month, but that’s as close as it gets.  No one seems to mind.  We DO have the Pro Bowl, for at least one more year.

Anyway there are too many differences to tell in just one blog,     Rick Emmerich

As I walked out of the terminal, I realized that this was old-school flying.  I was going to have to walk up the stairs just like they did in the old movies, which was in character with this tiny airport.  TGNR  Thank God no rain.  As I went up the stairs I admired the brand new tires, and the shiny plane from the outside.  As an airport worker with a safety vest on was scurrying  around underneath the plane, I joked that everything checked out.  He chuckled and seemed like a pleasant guy.

As I went to my seat, I noticed that I COULD ask the aisle guy to move so that I could take my window seat, OR take the window of the exit row ahead of him.  Guess what I did?  Yep, got the exit row.  All of the crew was very upbeat, almost as if they loved their jobs.  I was told that I was in fact in an exit row, and could I perform the necessary procedures?

I laughed at the idea of a water landing, from Long Beach to Salt Lake City (SLC).  I was transfixed by the view of the brand new blue engine out my window.  When I asked, the gentleman told me that the plane was 13 days old (young).  Brandy New!

As we were informed of the proper procedures, I ignored them as always.  As we were getting ready to get ready to take off, I heard from the captains mike, "Buehler,   Buehler,   Buehler"  I heard some other chuckles, these guys just like to have fun.

The take off was prefect and we gradually climbed, leaving the LA area.  I kept staring at the blue engine as it shined when the sun hit it.  Did I mention I LOVE half full flights?  I know that JetBlue doesn’t like them as much as I do.

Each seat has its own TV, wow.  I did NOT get the headsets, and I planned to get some work done on the short hop to SLC.  Unable to ignore the TV, I was forced to endure 15 minutes straight of Martha Stewart.  When did she get out of jail?

OK, back to staring out the window.  It seemed like every 15 minutes there was another body of water.  I didn’t have a map. so I would only be guessing which ones they were.  At the beginiong of the flight they said "in the event of a water landing…." and I laughed.  I figured there was a better chance of Jet Blue buying Continental then us doing a water landing, but you never know.

I was given my drink and some cashews which I liked and got more.  They had other choices, and I REALLY liked that I did not get those teeny packages of pretzels this time.  I enjoyed the upbeat attitude of the crew.

Anyway, the descent into SLC was smooth and following some braking on the runway we were taxiing over to the terminal.

As we exited the plane following the great photo oppportunity, I felt they were sincere in offering up the pleasantries.

Thanks Jet Blue!

I’ll admit, I did not think Obama was for real, about three months ago.  I watched him at the time he campaigned with Oprah and felt, he’s overmatched with HER.  If she were the VP cnadidate, and Oprah herself the presidential option, now that would be something.

Then, when I wasn’t watching, he matured or grew.

I heard from my sister and bro-in-law from South Carolina who really burned the candle at both ends helping him out in the primary.  They mentioned words like passion, caring, intelligence.

There’s always the issue of abortion for me, but I can’t deny his smarts. his charisma, his charm, confidence and he doesn’t seem afraid of Mrs. Clinton or that Republican guy.

I’m wondering how this last group of important primary states will shake out.  Well, last night, my wife and I did our civic duty and voted in the Primary.  It was interesting and sure took a long time for us to wind our way up to the front in line.  When we got there we saw an old firend, and our landlord.  (Not the same guy.)

Through the line experience we shared with people who and why.  All of our little group was voting for Obama, and I kidded my wife that she had made her decision becuase she and Obama both went to Punahou School, though at different times.

The general consensus was that he was for REAL change (we’ve had 24 years of Bush and Clinton family members, and how has THAT worked for us?)  Also he is very intelligent, refreshing and now really appears strong.

I mentioned that at first my Obama vote was really an anti-Hillary vote, and we laughed.  She reminds me of the Lord of the Rings.  In the movie, the elf-queen Galladriel predicts the horror of how she would appear if Frodo would give her the ONE ring of power.  He was quite shocked, and I think Hillary’s anger and strength will would actually work against her.

I understand that all the candidates have a temper and there are times that that comes out.

It seems that Obama is appearing more, well, presidential these days.  He seems like a confident leader that is ready to take on the world.  He doesn’t seem like that guy that fumbled a little when he shared the stage with the Oprah.  Of course, it won’t be easy.

How about if he says “I’m giving you all a car!”  That’s a heck of a lot better than the chicken in every pot promise.  And not bad for Detroit, either.
