Subject: Qivana cost vs. Obestiy cost

Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 5:26 PM

 

 

Hey Guys,

Just came across an awesome article I think everyone should take a look at concerning the Annual REAL TIME cost of being obese in America.

 

http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/fitness/2010-09-21-obesity-costs_N.htm#uslPageReturn

 

The original paper created by GWU with authors and peer reviewed article citation for the sticklers.

 

http://www.gwumc.edu/sphhs/departments/healthpolicy/pdf/heavyburdenreport.pdf

 

WOW

 

So the cost of being obese in the US for Men and Women is $2,646 and $4,879 respectively.

 

The cost for 1 year of Qivana's Metaboliq is $1,745 Annually (Max Burn Pack Month One, Burn pack for 11 months and $45 IBO fee)

 

The savings is $901 for a man and $3,134 for a woman Annually.

 

Thus an Obese couple could save up to $4,035 per year and lose roughly 78 ibs.

 

Carry it further....

 

Toss your savings into the piggy bank @ 7% interest for 5 years and your staring down the barrel of $21,304.80 and a massive reduction in Health Risks and all you did was was swallow meal replacements and get a 1099 for tax credit for being self-employed.

 

Who does this formula not work for?

Barb Messimer: A True Transformation

When Barb Messimer was first introduced to Qivana, she was stuck inside a body that was getting sicker every day. Although she worked as an RN case manager in disease management, she wasn't managing her own health very well. In her words, "I've spent my life helping others improve their health, but as time went on, I didn't heed my own advice or take the time for me that I needed in order to have a healthy body. I had a stressful job and was responsible for the lives of many others, so I became last on my list of people to take care of."

 

Barb began putting on weight and soon was close to morbidly obese. She recalled, "I began to accept my weight as part of the process of aging, thinking it was inevitable. I couldn't exercise by walking because I had hip pain so bad that I had to sit down after ten minutes. I'd even begun using the electric scooters that stores provide for their disabled customers. All the dreams of my younger years were gone, and life had become a matter of surviving and just making it from day to day. My motto became 'Whatever It Takes' and that whatever often meant food. Food made me happy and was my reward for working so hard. It also became a source of entertainment. I would take myself out to eat as a social event, and it almost always was a 'table for one'."

LOOK AT THIS AWESOME REPORT FROM "My prince has come"

 

 

 

 

Hey Joel and Kathy:

 

I have to tell you of my testimony which is great on one end. We have been pushing the Qivana business and talking to people and I have been giving away alot of my samples (too many before we get our business pack). We ordered the business pack and our auto ship went out today.. but we ran out of the product!

 

We have been out of probiotics and the essentials for 5 days now and I have to say, I am feeling lousy just like I was before. My body feels inflammed again, stiff joints and run down. I can not believe how much of a difference the essentials were making until now. I noticed each day I was feeling a little more inflammed and stiff. Wow... what a difference Qivana has been making for the short period we have been on it. One month!

 

I am absolutely amazed with what Qivana is doing and I tell Doug every morning, I miss my Qivana!!!!

 

What an awesome product this is!

[JoelandKathy]

Here is a picture taken at the end of one of the Weekend Marriage Intensives!

 

20 pounds lighter!

 

By the way - I am "holding" successfully.. not "yo-yo".

 

Metabolic has reset my metabolism.

 

The first two weeks I was diligent in using the "burn" system.

 

After that I went on the maintenance system which is very easy.

 

Weight kept coming off - until I got down to 202. Have been floating around there for quite a while.

 

Understand that in ministry we eat at a restaurant every week at our church gathering. We have been to Vegas, on a cruise and when we do intensives and the Church seminar we did recently, I eat more than called for.

 

It is so easy though and my metabolism works FOR me instead of AGAINST me.

 

That is Metabolic.

 

Please read the last testimony from "My prince has come" above. That is a testimony about the Qivana essentials.

 

Blessings!

Why Network Marketing

Want to work from home on your spare time? Then network marketing may be the business you're looking for.

By Rod Nichols |

 

In 1979, I viewed my first network marketing presentation and fell in love with the concept. At that time, I was a corporate manager for a Fortune 100 company. I had graduated from college with a business degree and set out to climb the corporate ladder to success. However, those circles drawn on the white board to represent network marketing during that presentation opened my eyes to the future of business.

 

Nearly 27 years later, I'm convinced that network marketing is the wave of the future in business. It's a powerful marketing model that's sweeping the world and will have a greater impact than franchising. Bold statements? The balance of this article will provide the proof.

 

Fortune magazine called direct selling (of which network marketing is the largest segment) "the best kept secret in the business world." It has experienced 91-percent growth in the last 10 years with annual sales in excess of $30 billion in the United States, and $100 billion worldwide. Financial experts say it's a "recession proof" industry.

 

 

 

Billionaire Warren Buffet, after purchasing a network marketing company, called it the best investment he'd ever made.

 

 

 

Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, calls it the first truly revolutionary shift in marketing in the last 50 years.

 

 

Why the Interest in Network Marketing?

 

The main reason so many people are entering network marketing is that it fits the current marketing trends. If you haven't figured it out by now, the baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are in control. Seventy-six million strong in the United States, and over a billion worldwide, the boomers have dictated what's hot, from baby food to fast food to minivans to SUVs. Now the boomers are looking for products that'll help them look and feel younger, and for ways to secure their financial future and enjoy more time freedom. Network marketing offers the answers.

Tired of the corporate rat race, many people are starting home businesses in record numbers. CNN reported that a new homebased business is started in the United States every 11 seconds. The home-business boom is the next big trend, and network marketing is one of the hottest home businesses available. It offers low start-up investment and monthly overhead, and entrepreneurs can start part-time, while still employed, and build the business to replace their current job income. Age, gender and race aren't barriers in network marketing; in fact, well over half of the success stories are women.

Is Network Marketing for You?

 

There are no perfect or right type of people for network marketing. There's a common myth that network marketing is all about selling, so many people who don't see themselves as "salespeople" shy away from it. The truth is, most of the people who are a huge success in network marketing aren't sales types, and tend to be more introverted. I'm a good example, since I built my business almost entirely through the internet. I've done only a handful of personal presentations, and I hate selling people things. In my travels and my interviews of top network marketing income earners, I find that most of them hate selling. They build their business by listening for people's needs and wants, and then providing an answer. I ask questions to uncover problems.

 

People aren't looking for products, services--or even business opportunities; they're looking for solutions to life's problems. Now, I can't solve them all with network marketing, but for many I can. So, I'm not in a sales business; rather, I'm in a problem-solving and dream-building business.

In fact, the biggest reasons why people are flocking to network marketing are time leverage, residual income and tax benefits. Network marketing is one of the few businesses that doesn't require employees, yet enables the owner to leverage his or her time by building a network of independent businesspeople. This network, which purchases and sells products or services, generates a residual income for the owner. Unlike the income earned at a job, which stops when the work stops, residual income continues on long after the work is completed. As exciting as leverage and residual income are, boomers love the tax benefits of network marketing. Tax expert Sanford Botkin says that a network marketing home business can result in tax savings of $3,000 to $9,000 per year.

The final reason why so many people of all ages are interested in network marketing is the internet. Success requires a business owner

 

to build a large network of people who buy and sell products/services and recruit others who'll do the same. The internet now enables network marketers to build national and international businesses from the comfort of their home. No more early-morning alarms and high-stress commutes; all the work can be done from a bedroom with a computer and telephone.

Thanks to the internet, people can now work from the comfort of their home, and within a few months to a few years, build a large international business. The income from this business will secure their financial future and provide more free time to truly enjoy life. The best part is that anyone can do it.

In the movie The Graduate, a young Dustin Hoffman was told that the future was in plastics. I'm here to tell you that the future is in network marketing, and that future is now.

Update from "one day my prince will come"

 

 

Hi JoelandKathy,

 

"Wow... Qivana has been so awesome!! By the 3rd day we used it we both looked at each other and said, "do you feel something happening inside of you?" The energy level doubled from where I was before and most of my aches and pains have gone away. We can't wait to see what our blood work shows us in January! We were giving so many samples away we ran out so I quickly ordered more until our autoshipment came. During the week I waited, I was so lethargic and felt like I crashed energetically. I almost called Joel and Kathy to have them overnight me a weeks worth until I got mine.... LOL When we got our shipment, the first thing I did was toThat is how much the Qivana has changed our live!"

[JoelandKathy]

Q&A with Dr. Eliaz: Can medicinal mushrooms be used to treat autoimmune diseases?

 

Q) I have heard that if you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, it’s important to avoid immune boosting supplements. Can medicinal mushrooms be used to treat auto-immune diseases?

 

A) Yes. Medicinal mushrooms can be an excellent adjunct for fighting autoimmune diseases. Rather than being simply “immune boosters”, medicinal mushrooms are considered “immune modulators”, which means that when necessary in situations of immune dysfunction or autoimmune disorders, they can work to calm an overactive immune system and bring it back into a healthy balance, while also promoting overall health and wellness. Immunomodulating activity of medicinal mushroom polysaccharide metabolites relates to their effects on immune effecter cells such as hematpoietic stem cells, lymphocytes, macrophages, T cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and natural killer (NK) cells involved in the innate and adaptive immunity, resulting in the production of biologic response modifiers that can help restore a healthy immune response. Research has shown that compounds in medicinal mushrooms have immunoregulatory properties and can provide a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as T cell-mediated inflammatory autoimmune diseases.

 

Dr. Eliaz has created the Qivana "Defense" product - Six medicinal mushrooms. The formulation is created in a way that those who are alergic to mushrooms can take the product. Kathy and I take two "Qivana Defense" capsules every day. One day I started to feel a cold coming on and I took five per day for two days and knocked it out of my system.

Joel this is great news. You will feel better and look better when the pounds drop off. I have lost 26 pounds in 4 months (started just before my wife announced she wants a divorce and continued). The secret is FRUIT. Fruit for breakfast, less coffee and more fruit tea, soup at lunch when possible. You need discipline to avoid chocolate and cakes and junk food. And exercise is important too.

It is the longest researched metabolism correction program in the history of the nation. It is his life's work. He has written over 100 "peer reviewed" articles. Most TOP LEVEL researchers and scientists only have 25 or less peer reviewed works.

 

 

Reply here or write to us at joelandkathy4@aol.com if you would like to join me in this process. I came through the Holidays, cruise, Vegas and lots of eating out with only gaining back up to 210.. now back down to 203 this morning after being half serious on the program again for a week or so. It makes pounds melt off.. amazing.. and I never go hungry.

 

When I hit 201, I will be at exacly half of my hoped for target. I started at 225. Looking towards 177. Slowly is my process but surely is what is happening. My next target is 199 and then 193. 193 will by my 2/3rds of the way there resting place for a while.

[JoelandKathy]

Good information from a Dr. This is not one of the four Qivana doctors.. but he is a good one..

 

 

 

We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths. It's not that easy. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit.

 

 

 

What's the correct way to eat fruit?

 

 

 

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTYSTOMACH.

 

 

 

 

Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

 

 

 

 

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

 

 

 

Let's say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it's prevented from doing so.

 

 

 

In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

 

 

 

Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!

 

 

There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.

 

 

 

When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans. Don't drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.

 

 

Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!

 

 

KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!

 

 

 

AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.

 

 

 

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

 

 

 

EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

 

 

 

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.

 

 

 

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.

Sorry it took so long to reply Welsh Lamb - and thank you, Sister B!

 

Welsh Lamb - if you would like, we can see what it would cost to ship the products there.. it would "probably" add around $50 to the cost of the product.. but the products are very low cost in comparison to eating a lunch at McDonald's and ten thousand times better TASTING than the nutrisystem type meal plans.

introduce the "Go Getter" program.

[JoelandKathy]

Hi - Joel and Kathy here.

 

We are in Dallas at the hotel! Going to be on Daystar tomorrow!

 

Here is a link to download and listen to the recording of the group call from last night. PLEASE listen to it. We are very committed, long term, for the rest of our life to Qivana. We are going to build half of your business for you. Would you please take some time to look at this and make it a serious consideration? God's hand is upon our efforts as we made so much money in a short time with prepaid legal and we believe that it is in His plan for our life to have a very large, long term, successful business with Qivana.

 

What else can you start part time and work ten hours per week - and develop a million dollar business - and get free trips just for doing your job - and a car allowance etcetera. AND - in the meantime, flooding your body with a half dozen products that are created by three of the top minds in the world by men who have invested their life time into the study of longevity, cancer healing and metabolism/weight control respectively.

 

Whatever these men make, we are going to put into our body! We have been doing it for a year and we are THRILLED with the long term results! Better health, better clarity, 35 pounds lighter for Joel.

 

Please take time to listen to this recording that is a phone call that was SPECIAL for OUR GROUP from last night with Craig Johansson, one of the five founders of Qivana.

 

I clicked on the link, saved it to my computer and then "opened" it and it played easily. Took 60 seconds to download and then open so that it played. We are VERY HONORED to have personal time like this from the founders. We are going to have probably one call EVERY WEEK with one of the founders or other very successful Qivana leaders. They are EXCITED about the potential that we have to help people in their marriages and at the same time, to change their life health wise and financial wise.

 

 

The Special call for Joel and Kathy with one of the Qivana Founders!

 

Blessings!

 

Joel and Kathy

 

 

 

 

In Qivana:

 

PS What is realistic? You start by making a small investment of $200-$1000. That is nothing in starting a business. Then you keep some products coming each month for personal use. Invest ten hours per week in the business. Enroll two or more people and then help them enroll two each. In a month or two or three, you will be making more than your products cost. In six months, you will be making a small part time income. In a year, you will be making $500 - $1000 per month, PART TIME. In two years? $1000-$2000 per month.. PART TIME. Do that.. and then the sky is the limit. Start where you are and we will work with you.. and remember.. WE are going to BUILD HALF of your business! You only need two "legs" under you.. and we are going to build ONE of those two legs for you! We do need you to participate with buying product so we know where to put our efforts... AND for you to make money, you ONLY need to bring TWO people in the business. In the meantime, you will be building a "bank account" of business to get paid on from the people we put under you - and all that you have to do to keep that business is make a product purchase each month.
