Health, Wealth and Happiness

OK, it was a learning experience.  I went to gain some knowledge.  That’s the last I will mention the ‘working’ part of the trip.  You see, I also wanted to get away.  Yo do get a little stir-crazy on these rocks in the middle of the Pacific sometimes.

So, at pretty much the last minute I patched together enough frequent flyer miles to get their and the usual brother-in-law standby option to return on United.  Vegas here I come!

Well, as I had a limited budget (it would have been NO budget except for my awesome wife), I insisted on walking from the Vegas Airposrt to my hotel at 6:45 AM.  And yes, it was about 90 degrees.  That was not sobad cuz the Hard Rock is the first hotel you come to.  Not much in the way of secenery on the way, just a lot of plastic bottles, cans, some vacant lots and those advertising cards for escorts and bars, just laying on the ground.

I’m not going to tell you how I was all work and no play.  In fact, I like to do the slots.  The new thing since I was there years ago.  PENNY SLOTS!  Except you put in a 5 dollar bill and you get 500 credits.  That’s about as close to the penny denomination as you get.  Iwas betting 30 cents a pop, with gusts to 60 cents and 90, with a real brave occasional 3 dollars.

You have to check out this machine.  It combines space travel with grandma, grandpa, milk cartons, chickens, and COWS.  Every time you hear a moo, you win.  And I dare you to try to figure out WHAT wins.  It is the craziest machine ever.  Oh yeah, the other thing is that it is a Progressive and has the Monopoly Logos and theme, making it almost acceptable as my memory flashes back to those family battles on the dining room table.

I must say it was fun, and sorta harmless, as I contributed some, but tracked it all on my Players Card.  “PLAYAH”  Yeah that’s me.

My points added up, even with my ill-chosen Sports Book Bets to earn me a steak dinner at Ago, the Italian Restaurant.  And what a steak that was!

And in between my fun, I really did learn some stuff.  I got a little sleep.

I made it to the Rehab Pool-yep that one.  It’s the one featured on the Realtiy TV show and in it’s own cool way it rocks.  I know it is a different animal on the weekend when they’re filming, but I loved the mellow Wednesday version without the drunkos all over the place. 

And by the way, as Vegas always seems to do, they got my spare change.  I go the steak and yep, I hit a 3 team Parlay on the way out the door.  But you know, I still owe my wife some of that money she lent me.

   What’s your story with Mila? 

   Mine is simple.  I am heathier than ever and my test results bear that out.  It’s time to go for another lipids panel to really stress the improved results.  People are throwing away their pharmaceutical meds.  Incredible stories abound.   But guess what?

   Armed with the solid nutritional knowledge and confidence, I want to let people know what the strength of this company really is.

   It is perfectly perched upon a trend towards more nutritional health by Baby Boomers like myself.  Thousands that want to lower cholesterol and triglycerides like me are satisfied.  BUT.

   The power this company brings to the table involves an easy to build business as that takes advantage of many benefits.

1.   More and more people need another income stream.

2.   Rock solid management-leaders with decades of MLM experience are steering this big rig down the road.

3.   The only whole raw food in MLM. 

4.   8 ways to make money, right away and in the future.

5.   10 Million in the first year, 22 in the second on the way to the magic number 50 million.  (It is generally agreed upon that a huge company will hit momentum around the time that it hits 50 million.)

6.   A Mission Statement that involves helping Developing Countries, and implementing that right away, NOT down the road after the company is making millions.

7.   A Comp Plan that rewards helping others getting started.

8.   Heavyweight support by Dr. Bob Arnot, Robert Kiyosaki, top Doctors, Raw Food Experts, and some NFL Retirees.

I want to give you this opportunity.  Do your due dilligence.  I can 3 way you with any the number 1 and 2 distributors and others in the company.  Not only that, but the timing is right to join our team.  We are adding people all the time and those that get in first may benefit from the downline volume.

Join us,   If not now,     When?           Rick Emmerich and Dr. Malia Emmerich

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!

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.
