Last evening I severely burned the fingers
of my left hand. I was making popcorn in a wok. In order to make
perfect popcorn, the wok must be constantly moved, so I was holding
the handles, swishing it back and forth, to and fro across the heat.
The lid was on, but when the first kernel popped, it exploded about
a quarter cup of boiling oil up the side of the pan, under the lid
and directly onto my fingers. By the time I got to the cold water,
my fingers had blistered, and I was feeling intense pain.
After running cold water for over a
minute, I applied an amazing neutralizing gel
|1> to the
burn area. Then, over the next hour or two, I misted the area with a
neutralizing spray
|1>. Each
time I did, the intense pain went away for a few minutes. Each time
it came back, it was less intense than before. In less than two
hours I had completely forgotten about it. This morning, only about
12 hours later, I can barely see where it was burned.
This is good for me in that we had these
incredible, amazing products on hand. It is good for you because I
realized that not everyone has the advantage of even knowing about
all the wonderful products that Ann and I take for granted, let
alone having them on hand for when you need them. This article is
about how you can learn about, find and obtain the “cream” of the
health products that are available.
Speaking of cream, have you experienced
the behavior of real milk? I am NOT talking about the horrid result
of excessive, mindless over-processed “stuff” that is being sold as
milk in grocery stores, I am talking about actual, unprocessed,
unadulterated milk as it comes from an animal, like a cow or a goat.
Real milk, when removed from the animal
and placed in a container, immediately begins a self-segregation
process. The lighter cream rises to the top, the heavier milk solids
and water stay under the cream, and any crud that may have gotten
into the pail settles to the bottom. I remember the days of skimming
off some of the cream for adding to coffee or pouring over fruit or
cereal, carefully pouring off the remaining milk through a fine
screen, then rinsing the last bit of milk and crud out of the pail.
It wasn’t very convenient, but the taste and texture of the milk and
cream was delightful …
… But, I am not telling you this to make
your mouth water. I am using it to create an analogy that you can
use in your decision making processes ― especially for choosing the
health-enhancing products that your body needs. If you learn how to
identify and skim off only the “cream” of these products, both your
body and your bank account will be much healthier.
The single biggest challenge in choosing
the best health-enhancing products is to first learn that they
exist. Hopefully you have learned by now to shy away from products
that are being pushed by big-money advertising campaigns. Even if
the product does have value, it is the consumer who pays for all
that advertising. My immediate assessment of every product I see
heavily advertised is that it likely falls into the “crud” category.
If it is promoted with the “Ask your doctor!” command, I then
assume that “crud” should have a couple of exclamation points behind
it. How then, can we find the best health products?
In answering that, I have some good news
and some bad news:
The good news is that every
network-marketing company on the planet is desperately searching for
the magic bullet that will ‘poof’ perfect health into those who take
it. Lacking that, they will bring us the best that they can find. A
very few of these, occasionally, do find an exceptionally valuable
product.
The bad news is, every
network-marketing company on the planet is desperately searching for
the magic bullet that will ‘poof’ perfect health into those who take
it. Lacking that, they will bring us the best that they can find.
Usually, they only find crud.
Over many years of searching for the
‘cream,’ I have ended up buying a whole bunch of ‘crud.’ Here I
share with you six of the questions I have learned to ask to help
you avoid making the same mistakes that I have made.
-
Do they emphasize the product or the
“opportunity”?
When the pitch begins with how much money I will
certainly earn, I respond like the swimmers did in the movie “Caddyshack” when the Baby Ruth candy bar was seen floating
beside them. My immediate, automatic response is “Everybody out
of the pool!” If the “opportunity” does happen to have an
excellent product associated with it, it will be difficult for
the introducer to ever recover from having tried to sell me the
“opportunity” before I was sold on the product.
-
How does it Test?
|2>
Unless a product comes very highly recommended by
someone I trust to know what they are talking about, I will
never even consider a product without testing it on myself, my
wife and a few friends and customers. If it consistently tests
good, how does it compare to the other very best products that I
know of? If it is better, I am interested in pursuing it
further. If not, why bother?
-
Is it too early in the program?
Every “MLMer” will tell you that you have to “get in early”
in order to make the big bucks. The unfortunate semi-truth of
this is what has corrupted the network marketing industry. It
motivates through self-serving greed rather than through the
altruistic response of desiring to share beneficial products
with our fellow inhabitants of Planet Earth. Resisting the urge
to “jump right in” and instead taking your time to fully
evaluate the products and the company will save you much money,
grief and friendships in the long run.
-
Who says so?
Most of the products that I give any serious
consideration to have come highly recommended by Dr. Regan
Golob, or, from Judy Sinner who either heard about it from Dr.
Golob, or who has introduced him to it, and has subsequently
gotten a positive endorsement. It is my experience that he
seldom, if ever, errs in outstanding product selection. Lacking
this endorsement, I go online to see what is being said about
it, and by whom. If the endorsers “sound good,” but I don’t have
prior experience with them, I will also “Google” their name to
see what their other experiences, recommendations and
observations have been. If they have a good track record, I will
consider their opinions. In the case of the very best of
products, like Waiora’s NCD
|3> for instance, it becomes so
immediately obvious from the endless number of
enthusiastic---even desperate endorsements by well known
and highly respected health care professionals that you needn’t
bother to question it further.
-
How’s the pudding?
The old adage claims “the proof is in the
pudding.” Once you try it, what results are you getting? How
about your family and friends? The wise adage that applies here
is “If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and sounds
like a duck, it likely is a duck.” If the product is working for
you, it likely is a good product.
-
Does it pass the “last man” test?
This doesn’t actually relate to product selection,
however you will find it to be useful as you determine how
to participate with various network marketed companies. Once I
know that I want to use a product, and once I have determined
that the only or best way to obtain it is from a network
marketed company, I will consider becoming a “member” or
“distributor” or “representative” or whatever they call the
people that sign up with them. The qualifying question I ask
myself is “If I were the very last person on Earth to sign up
for this, and there was not a single person left for me to
“recruit,” would there still be an advantage of signing up?”
If the answer is yes, I usually sign up.
If no, I will only be a customer, not a member. If it is no, the
“plan” has a built-in failure mechanism, and it’s structure will
ultimately implode. A case in point is Vemma. The product is
excellent, however it costs “members” more to buy the product than
it costs customers. As newer, better, less expensive products come
along
|4> the
customers have no incentive to stay with Vemma. As they leave, the
“members” end up paying too much for their product with no
offsetting compensation. They, too, will switch to the better value
products.
So, here you have my tried-and-tested
formula for skimming the cream off of the ocean of useful,
semi-useful and not-very-useful products that are on the market. It
seems that perfect health is no longer possible in our culture
without products that remove the bad and replace the good, so choose
wisely, and avoid getting “burned” in the process.
