I am thankful for 2008

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening. Psalm 92:1 As another year comes to an end, we urge you to give thanks to God for the wonderful, and not so wonderful things that happened in your life this year.

I am thankful to God for the United States of America that is a free country in which people may express their opinions openly. Thank you God that I live in this country.

I am thankful to God for the history that has been created this year with our presidency. Although I did not vote for our president elect, I am thankful that in this country, the voice of the people matters. Thank you God that I live in this country.

I am thankful to God for our economy. Even though we are in a recession, many people can still find ways to make it better for themselves during this crisis. Thank you God that I live in this country.

I am thankful to God for our soldiers. Although many of them are in harms way, because of them, we have a free country were we are able to live our lives in peace by the sacrifice of others. Thank you God that I live in this country.

I am thankful to God for our businesses. Even though many of them are collapsing because of mismanagement and because of the economy, many others are rising to the occasion and bringing new hope to the people to better their lives. Thank you God that I live in this country.

I am thankful to God that I can write this blog. Although many of you may not agree that I give thanks to God, I am thankful that in this country, our first amendment gives us the right to express our opinions at large. Thank you God that I live in this country.

May 2009 be a prosperous and joyous year for you. We declare that 2009 will be a year full of blessings for you . May God bless our people, our president, and God bless the USA.

Is there any hope? You bet!

According to CNBC, this year has been marked by astonishing and market-changing events including a $100 fall in the price of oil, the drop to zero of U.S. interest rates and the collapse of Wall Street giants such as Lehman Brothers.

They further state that next year could bring more, equally unbelievable, happenings such as another 400 points being wiped off the S&P 500 and a slump in Chinese growth to zero, according to a report from Saxo Bank titled "10 Outrageous Claims 2009."

The experts all agree that our economy is bad. Many people have been laid off, big corporations are crumbling and there is little hope for the future, or so they say. You don't hear in the news about companies that are not been affected by this recession and that are able to provide many individuals with the right tools to succeed.

One of such companies is USANA. USANA has allowed thousands of independent associates to become financially independent and to have recession proof income.

We do this by applying the residual income principles that millionaires use. If you are interested in learning more about such a wonderful opportunity, please contact us. It would be our pleasure to show you a way out of this financial crisis; however, if you are ready to take control of your life, then enroll with us.

But you may ask, what is required of you? Well, if you are a business owner, like we are, this is a bargain for you. We have an overhead of over $10,000 a month before we could ever get a penny with our law firm. So when we saw the USANA business model, and the overhead of $100 we went for it, and it has been the opportunity of a lifetime. We now have residual income that we never had with our firm before.

On the other hand, if you are not a business owner, USANA is still for you because now, you too can be a business owner. When you become your own business owner, you can benefit of tax advantages that non business owners do not have, and you don't have to worry about getting laid off. Imagine been able to save between $6,000 to $9,000 a year in Tax advantages. Imagine having multiple sources of income, having the time, health and money to do what ever you wanted to do.

Its time for you to join the next Trillion dollars industry. If you still have questions about USANA, please contact us and you will be glad you did.

Wisdom, how can we get it?

According to the bible, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That means that (as humans) we should have a reverential honor and respect for Him. When we realize that the Creator of the universe is in control, we then become aware of an absolute, God is, was and will always be. To the wise, only few words are required...

In lay terms, we are wise when we set everything else in life aside in order to seek Him. We are wise when we worship Him and give Him everything that we are. We are wise when we take time to honor Him. Just like Joshua, when we study the bible, meditate on it and ensure that we do what it says, we then will prosper and succeed in everything we do.

Remember, God rewards the people who diligently seek after Him. As you continue to put Him first in all you do, you’ll increase in wisdom and discernment, and you’ll move forward into the life of blessing He has in store for you.

King Solomon could have had everything in the world as God asked him to ask for whatever he wanted, but he chose wisdom. Consequently, God gave him wisdom and everything else, time, health and money. You too can have it, if you seek Him first.

Have you set your 2009 goals yet?

Though it may seem some what crazy to be thinking about goals for 2009, these last days preceding the beginning of the new year are the perfect time to start declaring them. As the curtain closes on 2008, you should already be assessing the past events of the year and start thinking about how you can make the next year different. Our question to you is, did you achieve all of your goals in 2008? If you didn’t, how can you make changes to achieve those goals?

Setting goals now for 2009 allows you plenty of time to decide which goals you really want to achieve this new year. One of our mentors indicated to us that we needed to hold a family meeting to talk about the things our family wanted or needed. This allowed for every person in the family to come to the table with a goal which ensured that all members were working together to achieve the same goals even though they were at different levels.

One of the things that you should do is take a look at your finances and decide what is actually possible. This allows you to put your new goals down on paper and start your progress towards them. In 2009, my wife, children and I decided that we were going to share our blessings even more than we have with people around us. Since we are FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT, we wanted to help others achieve that same INDEPENDENCE.

One of the best ways to achieve FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE is to observe those who are, surround yourself with people who are and learn from them so you too can be FINANCIALLY FREE. Successful people surround themselves with other successful people, and you need to do the same. You need to learn the secrets from them that made them successful.

One of our mentors Brian Bohlke, showed us a way to earn residual income which allowed us to have MORE TIME and MONEY for our family. He showed us the way to rely on the efforts of others to help make us money.

Now, we want to share the same principles with you. Please watch this presentation online presentation to learn what you can do to start your FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. At USANA, we want people to be healthy, have MONEY and the TIME to enjoy them all.

If you are serious about becoming financially independent, DEBT FREE and HEALTHY, please contact us so that you too can be on your way to FINANCIAL FREEDOM.

What is your New Year's Resolution?

According to surveys, people have these top ten new year's resolutions:

1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends
2. Fit in Fitness
3. Weight Loss
4. Quit Smoking
5. Enjoy Life More
6. Quit Drinking
7. Get Out of Debt
8. Learn Something New
9. Help Others
10. Get Organized

How many of your resolutions made the list? For the most part, we all have dreams or resolutions; however, not everyone has an implementation plan to make those resolutions a reality. Year after year, we make the decision to change, but we do not follow through with the required step to achieve it.

For example, we make the decision to spend more time with family & friends but we can't because our jobs won't allow it. We are trading time spend at our jobs for money to support our families and its not working. We never have enough time to do anything we really want to do, or the money to do it with because our jobs do not pay enough, or even if the job paid enough, we still would not have enough time because our jobs requires our full time and attention.

Conversely, we make the resolution that we are going to get out of debt, but again, with our jobs, its almost impossible to do. We do not have enough money to make this resolution a reality.

Moreover, we make the resolution that we are going to get in shape, get better health, eat right, but we go out onto the world, and its almost impossible to do. Every corner is bombarded with fast food restaurants and junk food. No wonder we are such an obese society.

How would you like this year to make your resolutions become a reality? What if we told you that you can have more time, money and health to do what you really want to do in life. To spend time with your loves one, to be financially free and to have the health to enjoy it all. How can I accomplish all my resolutions this coming year?

My wife and I are having our resolutions become a reality right before our eyes. We are having more time to spend, more money to spend and more health. Since now we have time, money and health, our goal is to share the same with as many people as we can.

Are you interested yet? Before I tell you how you too can accomplish this, let me first introduce you to the couple that introduced our family to what we are about to share with you. Brian and Jaclyn Bohlke they introduced our family to the company that we are about to share with you, and it worked for us. Or if you would like, you can read Matt & Shanna Ryan, they shared this company with Brian and Jaclyn and now they are living the life that they always wanted.

By now you have read their stories and have seen what they have accomplished, you too can have time, money and health to make your new year's resolution a reality with USANA. Please contact us so that you too can enjoy life to its fullest. If you are tired of the same thing, then we encourage you to take control of your life with USANA, contact us and you too will make your new year's resolution a reality.

May you have many Christmas together with your family!

As my wife and I play Santa at 4:30AM, we realize that in about 5 years, our oldest child will leave us for college, our middle child will be a teenager almost out of high school, and our little one will be a big sister to our newest baby been developed now. In the mist of wrapping gifts, I remember how beautiful it is that all of our children worship God and have accepted Jesus as their savior.

Our children are blessed in the sense that they know that the reason for this season is to celebrate Christ's birth. Although giving gifts to our children is going to be a highlight of the day, knowing that they will spend eternity with God and ourselves is even more rewarding. Before they get to open their gifts, we will have time to praise and worship God and time to thank Him for all the blessings that He has giving us during the year.

One of such blessing has been joining the USANA family. Ever since our family has been taking USANA products, we had decided to share this wonderful blessing with as many people as we can. Our lives have changed since taking USANA products, and we are convinced that each person that uses USANA products are on the way to improve their lives. Because all of our family members take USANA, we can ensure many more Christmas ahead of us.

As you celebrate today with your family and open gifts, please remember that in order for families to continue to celebrate together, they need to ensure that their health is top priority. We encourage you to take a look at USANA to see what a difference it can make in your life.

May God bless you this Christmas, and may you share many more Christmas with your family in health. If you want to know more about USANA, please contact us.

Merry Christmas from our USANA family to yours!

As you make the final preparations to celebrate your Christmas today, please remember that the whole reason for this season is to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. As the famous Bart Simpson once said, "Christmas is the one time of year when people of all religions come together to worship Jesus Christ."


We at USANA, believe in the power of sharing blessing with others. With this blog, our team sends the best wishes and warm love from San Antonio, Texas to the rest of the world.

From Matt and Shanna Ryan, Brian and Jacklyn Bohlke, to Edgar and Carrie Baez, we wish you a Verry Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

May God bring you the desires of you heart are the best wishes from our USANA family to yours.

USANA antioxidants, why are they better for you?

Everyday, your body gets rid of mutated and oxidized cells, known as "free radicals". With a strong immune system, the human body can recognize and get rid of these cells. Cells can become mutated or oxidized naturally as they are replicating in the body, or from stress, smoking, age, and sun damage. UV rays from the sun are very hard on your body's cells.

According to the dictionary, an antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent, just like it happends with rust. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or polyphenols.

USANA Health Sciences announced that it is expanding its existing partnership with the Linus Pauling Institute (LPI), in an effort to better determine the function and role of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (micronutrients) in promoting optimal health and preventing disease.

For over a decade, LPI, one of the nation’s first Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, has been committed to the research of heart disease, cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. Along with its research on mirconutrition, LPI’s mission includes:

Determining the role of oxidative and nitrative stress and antioxidants in human health and disease, and Helping people everywhere achieve a healthy and productive life, full of vitality, with minimal suffering, and free of cancer and other debilitating diseases.

“The partnership between LPI and USANA will significantly enhance the Institute’s research mission, enabling our scientists to better understand the role antioxidants, phytochemicals, and other nutrients play in human health,” said Balz Frei, director of the Linus Pauling Institute. “We are very excited about this opportunity.”

USANA’s research team will collaborate with LPI on cutting-edge nutritional and clinical research. This collaboration and contribution will support:

Discovery that advances the science of human nutrition and health, Information that helps USANA to formulate and upgrade superior nutritional products, Information that helps USANA to better advise its customers on how to use USANA products to promote and maintain health, and Publications in leading scientific and medical journals that credit USANA for support and that may bear the name of USANA scientists as contributing scientists and authors where appropriate contributions have been made.

“The Linus Pauling Institute is clearly at the forefront of research in the arenas of nutrition and health,” said USANA’s Executive Vice President of Research & Development Tim Wood. “USANA is proud to be supporting their efforts and we look forward to working with LPI in advancing the science of nutrition in both laboratory and clinical settings.”

By now you can see that USANA antioxidants are better for you because there is plenty of research behind them, and because they work. If you are interested in purchasing USANA PRODUCTS, click here.

Why are USANA products supperior?

Pharmaceutical grade tablets and capsules must meet certain standards for quality as set by the United States Pharmacopeia (or USP). The USP is a non-profit organization that works closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the pharmaceutical industry, and health professionals to establish authoritative standards. These standards are enforceable by the FDA and the governments of more than 35 other countries, and are recognized worldwide as the hallmark of pharmaceutical manufacturing quality.

USANA voluntarily chooses to manufacture its products according to these rigid quality standards.

The high standards of manufacturing may be the primary factor that separates USANA from other nutritional supplement companies. In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted by the United States Congress. Within this act, Nutritional Supplements were reclassified from "food" status to a new category called "Dietary Supplements" (DS). Because of DSHEA, certain changes were made to regulate dietary supplements differently than food. The first noticeable change effected the way DS were labeled. The "Nutritional Facts" panel seen on foods was changed to a "Supplement Facts" panel on DS. You may notice DS labels do not declare calories, fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Dietary supplements do, however, declare nutrient values for vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.

The second change allowed dietary supplement makers to include health claims (normally associated with drugs) that were not permitted for foods. For example, the FDA originally approved only 4 health claims for foods (including the link between high fiber and a reduction in cancer risk, calcium and osteoporosis, etc.) Under DSHEA, dietary supplement products could extend health claims in the area of structure/function (i.e. vitamin E nutritionally supports good cardiovascular function).

The last change effected by DSHEA concentrated on DS quality. Directed by DSHEA, the FDA was to establish GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines for the dietary supplement industry and model the rules after existing Food GMP regulations. (GMP is the minimum quality expectation for a given product used by the consumer.) Since 1994, the FDA has not fully established and/or enforced GMP regulations for dietary supplements, meaning that DS products are currently monitored only under food GMPs.

When looking at the two current regulations (Food GMP vs. Drug GMP), there are several dramatic distinctions. We will use a pizza vs. penicillin analogy to help illustrate this point.

(If you want to research the differences yourself, or just verify the next statements, you can find these rules in the Code of Federal Regulations - 21 CFR 110 (Food), 21 CFR 210 and 211 (Drug).)

Food GMPs focus more on products as "safe" food items. Basically, they ensure that no poisons or pathogenic biological elements are introduced into the finished product. Food GMPs do not mandate you test each batch or its ingredients for these harmful elements. The only actual stipulations for a manufacturer are: 1) that they use ingredients generally recognized as safe for human use, and 2) that they maintain good hygienic practices. For example, when you order a pizza, the maker uses flour, yeast, salt, water, tomato paste, and cheese. It is not necessary to test these ingredients individually for safety because they are all generally recognized as safe. Provided the chef runs a clean shop, they are fully compliant with food GMPs.

Since dietary supplements are regulated under food GMPs, it has created numerous problems for the industry. Remember: food GMPs do not mandate that finished dietary supplement products - or ingredients used in DS products - be tested to verify label claims. Consequently, if you manufacture a 100 mg vitamin C product, under the current law you are not required to test the vitamin C raw material or the finished product to verify that it actually contains 100 mg of vitamin C. Many manufactures do not go to the added expense of testing this because it is not required.

As a result, cheap, low-grade, non-potent dietary supplement products have flooded the marketplace. Many independent studies and recent news articles have illustrated this quality problem by highlighting less than stellar results from tests of commonly retailed products. Indeed, the newly proposed GMP rules for DSHEA may not stop these practices. Unfortunately, the few manufacturers that have strict standards, such as USANA, are unfairly compared to those who only follow food GMPs.

Do you expect a different level of quality for penicillin than you do for pizza? Of course! Because of this difference in expectation, drug GMPs are much more restrictive. Remember that food GMPs are only focused on safety; drug GMPs, in contrast, are focused not only on safety, but also on potency, purity, and efficacy. Drug GMPs mandate ingredient (raw material) testing for each of these four categories. It also mandates safety, potency, purity and efficacy testing on each batch of finished product.

Similarly, hygienic practices are more restrictive under drug GMPs. Additional metrics - such as uniformity, validation, process controls, and stability - are required. These terms are never discussed under food GMPs and are only applicable under drug GMPs.

The foundation of USANA's product quality is pharmaceutical GMPs. We do not endorse the philosophy of other dietary supplements manufacturers who only adhere to food-level GMPs. It would be irresponsible for USANA to do extensive research to develop high-quality products and then meet inferior manufacturing guidelines for those products.

And there you have it, that is one of the reasons why USANA products are supperior than any other dietary supplements available on the market. To benefit from these wonderful products, simply click here. If you are interested in selling USANA products, click here to enroll.

What is the reciprocity rule?

Many of us have been victims of it, without even knowing it. According to Robert B. Cialdini, PhD., the rule is overpowering and very efficient. Many organizations have used it, and during this season, is especially employed.

How many times have you been in a place and some strange person gets close to you, gives you a free gift, flower, button, flier, card, etc., and in return expects a simple donation for their cause?

In his book, Mr. Cialdini explains that even though people might ordinarily dislike unsavory or unwelcome sales operators, disagreeable acquaintances, representatives of strange or unpopular organizations, the same can greatly increase the chance that we will do what they wish merely by providing us with a small favor prior to their request.

Presidents have used it, corporations and individuals that provide judicial or legislative officials with gifts and favors, expecting something in return when the people who have received the gift or favor get elected.

The Amway Corporation has used the principles of the rule very efficiently. They called it the BUG. The BUG consist of a collection of Amway products such as bottles of furniture polish, detergent, or shampoo, spray containers of deodorizes, in a specially designed tray or just a bag. The confidential Amway Career Manual then instruct the salesperson to leave a BUG with the potential customer for 24, 48 or even 72 hours at no cost or obligation. At the end of the trial period, and Amway representative will return to pick up orders for those of the products the customer wishes to purchase.

Although the obligation to repay constitutes the essence of the reciprocity rule, it is the obligation to receive that makes the rule so powerful. The rule was established to promote the development of reciprocal relationships between individuals so that a person could initiate such a relationship without the fear of loss.

Now that you know about the rule of reciprocation, I urge you, specially during this season to give without expecting anything in return. The bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Since this is a promise, then we will believe in it.

So this is our free gift to each and every one of our readers. Ever since we have been using USANA products, we have been so blessed that we have to share it with the world. My wife and I have been trying to have another baby for about 2 1/2 years. The doctors indicated to us that we could no longer have any children because my wife was not ovulating anymore, she had become sterile.

Then we started using USANA every day. My wife is 8 weeks pregnant and the doctors are bewildered. According to them, they have never seen such healthy cells before. Is that a miracle from God or what? In his book, invisible miracles, Dr. Myron Wentz describes how important is to feed our cells with the proper nutrients in order to have the cells work properly.

During this season, give the gift that keeps on giving. Give the gift of health. By using USANA products, you will start experincing the invisible miracles for your self. Once you used them, then share them with the people that you love.

If you are interested in learning more about USANA, please use this contact form to request the information. If you have used the USANA products, and are ready to begin sharing the blessings with others, then click here.

May God bless you, and God bless USANA, its family, and God bless the USA.

How can USANA change your life?

Dear reader,

There are three areas that each and every one of us need to have in our lives, and USANA help you with each of them. I am talking about time, health and money. This is how USANA can change your life.

Time. You could have all the money in the world, but if you don't have the time to enjoy it, its useless. If you don't spend enough time with your family, the consequences are devastating. Indeed, time is an important factor in each and every one of our lives. Without time to enjoy your health and money, you will not have a very productive life. USANA allows its associates to get the time needed to enjoy life.

Health. Even if you have all the money in the world, and all the time in the world, if you do not have health, you have nothing. Health is the key of having a fruitful, productive life. The USANA family is the healthiest family on earth because we give our bodies nutrients needed to sustain a healthy life.

Money. Every person has the ability to get is, but not every one takes advantage of the tools to make it. During this tough economic times, people with money do not worry bout the economy. During this times, any one that works for some one else could get fired, let go or terminated. With USANA, you have no boss, you work for yourselves and you do not depend on the economy to make money.

As you can see, USANA ables you to have the time, health and money to enjoy life the way its supposed to be enjoyed. If you want to contact us for more information, please do so. If you are convinced that USANA is for you, click here.

To watch a video about this amazing opportunity presented to you today, click here. There is no obligation, and nothing to loose, except the time, health and money that is there for you if you don't act today.

Understanding residual income

When you sale a product, or service, that has recurring monthly fees, this is known as residual income (also called passive, or recurring income) and is the best income to make, because it continues to be generated after the initial effort has been expended. USANA allow you to get residual income.

Compare this to what most people focus on earning: linear income, which is "one-shot" compensation or payment in the form of a fee, wage, commission or salary. This concept means that you only get pay for the hours that you work. Linear income is directly proportional to the number of hours invested in it (40 hrs. of pay for 40 hrs. of work)once that worked is paid for, no more income is expected, unless you work another 40 hours.

One of the great advantages of residual income is that once things are set in motion, you continue making money from your initial efforts, while gaining time to devote to other things... such as generating more streams of residual income.

If you are like I was, you work everyday for a company for a hourly wage. Your paycheck is dependent upon the exchange of your time for money. If you don't work on a given day, you don't get paid for that day, unless you have vacation or pay time off (PTO). If your job is to make stuff on an assembly line, you must make those stuff to get paid. If your job is to teach, then you must teach and so on...

What if you were the one who patented the stuff?

Then you would receive income over and over again any time someone made or bought one of your stuff. You don't have to make the stuff anymore, but you get paid every time someone buys a stuff. This is residual income. It is income that you make over and over again from work that was performed one time. Song writers know this concept well. The wealthy know this concept well, ans so should you!!!

"Leverage is the most powerful word
in the endeavor of creating wealth"
-Edward Hoagland

Leveraged Income

A related concept to residual income is leveraged income. Leveraged income is similar in that it can be residual. More importantly, leveraged income is money that you make from other people's efforts. This forster an athmosphere of leadership and team work not seen on any other industry in the world.

To use the same stuff example, if you make stuff on an assembly line for your job, you have to do that to get paid. But if you were the one who patented the stuff or the technology to make the stuff, you would continually receive income every time someone made or bought one of your widgets.

Imagine that in addition to you working on the assembly line, you could train others to do the same work and make a percentage of each person's income that you trained? Read about a company that can make this possible for you!

For example, you work the assembly line and earn $1,000 each month. What if you could earn 10% of the income for each person you trained to do the same assembly-line work? You would do the work (training) one time and be paid over and over again (residual income that is leveraged via other people's work).

Suppose you trained ten new people each month, for three months. Your monthly income would begin to look like this:

1st month: You make $1,000 and each of the ten people you train earn $1,000. In addition, you earn 10% of their monthly income (10% of $1,000 = $100 x 10 people = $1,000 + your $1,000 = $2,000 total).

2nd month: You still make your $1,000, but now you have 20 people who each make $1,000. Your income is thus: 10% of $1000 = $100 x 20 people = $2000 + your $1,000 = $3,000 total).

3rd month: You still make your $1,000, but now you have 30 people who each make $1,000. Your income is thus: 10% of $1,000 = $100 x 30 people = $3,000 + your $1,000 = $4,000 total).

This is the beauty of leveraged and residual income. By your one act of training someone to do the work, you will get paid over and over again from their efforts, and again if they train someone else to do the work. This is what USANA can bring to you.

Cold and Flu season

With cold and flu season approaching, nutrition plays an important role in helping prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of seasonal illness. Research shows that a good multivitamin and extra vitamin E can reduce the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections, especially in the elderly.

Respiratory illnesses, including the common cold, can be debilitating and lead to complications and death in the elderly. A study published in the August 18, 2004, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found vitamin E to be protective against upper respiratory infections.

Four hundred fifty-one individuals aged 65 and older at 33 long-term care facilities completed a course of 200 IU of vitamin E per day or a placebo from April 1998 to August 2001. In addition, all of the subjects received a multivitamin that provided 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance for essential vitamins and minerals. The incidence of lower respiratory infections, such as acute bronchitis and pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infections, including cold, influenza, sore throat, middle ear infection and sinusitis, was documented over the course of the trial.

The subjects who received vitamin E acquired fewer respiratory tract infections than those who did not receive the vitamin. Participants who received the vitamin experienced a 20 percent decreased risk of acquiring the common cold, which accounted for 84 percent of the upper respiratory infections reported. In addition, participants taking vitamin E had fewer colds per person. Although vitamin E showed no significant effect on lower respiratory tract infections, the protective effect of vitamin E supplementation on upper respiratory tract infections observed in this group merits further investigation and suggests important implications for the well-being of the elderly.

If you want to get a good source of vitamins and minerals, please take a look at USANA. USANA offers 100% guaranteed potency on all their vitamins. Please contact us, if you would like to purchase USANA products.

What makes us different?

Compensation plans in network marketing / MLM vary from one company to the next. They are at best difficult to understand for both you and the person introducing them to you. Most individuals involved with an MLM are not even familiar of how the compensation plan works, or when they will get pay.

The USANA Binary Compensation Plan is a binary system in which you build balanced left-side and right-side downline organizations for the purpose of selling USANA's nutritional and personal care products. The weekly commissions you earn are based on the balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) points accumulated in your left-side and right-side downline organizations.

USANA Business Centers are designed to pay you weekly commissions on Sales Volume with no limit to the number of levels from which you can earn your commissions.

Recession proof income

According to economists, since 1854, the U.S.A. has encountered 32 cycles of expansions and contractions, with an average of 17 months of contraction and 38 months of expansion. However, since 1980 there have been only eight periods of negative economic growth over one fiscal quarter or more, and four periods considered recessions:

January-July 1980 and July 1981-November 1982: 2 years total
July 1990-March 1991: 8 months
March 2001-November 2001: 8 months
December 2007-December 2008: 11 months and counting*

* Note that this latest recession doesn't meet the traditional two quarter drop in GDP, yet it is considered a recession by the NBER.

From 1991 to 2000, the U.S. experienced 37 quarters of economic expansion, the longest period of expansion on record.

For the past three recessions, the NBER decision has approximately conformed with the definition involving two consecutive quarters of decline. However the 2001 recession did not involve two consecutive quarters of decline, it was preceded by two quarters of alternating decline and weak growth.

God still works miracles

It has been two and half years since my wife and I have been trying to conceive a child. Ever since our daughter was born, we decided that it was time to increase the family. We waited about two years and started on the journey. We prayed to God for help and guidance

We have been waiting patiently without any results. My wife and I were getting frustrated because we thought it was going to happen as we planed. About a year ago, my wife was really concerned and we decided that we were going to see a doctor about it. So we did, and the doctor pretty much told us that the reason why we could not conceive again was because my wife was not menstruating.

Because of stress, age, and malnutrition, we were not going to enjoy God's precious gift to us again. We have one girl from our marriage, and two from previous marriages that I had. The doctor told us that the only way was to visit a fertility doctor so that we could accomplish what we wanted.

So again, we prayed, talked to one of our pastors, and were told that it was OK for us to consult with a specialist. However, my wife did not want to loose faith in God because she kept saying if Sarah had a child from Abraham at 99, so can I, God willing.

So we kept on praying and kept on trying. About three months ago, we started to take this wonderful vitamins and supplements called USANA. Little did we know, the invisible miracles started to work on my wife's body. We were taken the essentials and other supplements to help us live a better life. Last week, my wife decided to go again to the doctors because she was having some pains.

At the doctors, she checked her and told my wife that she had something growing inside of her, so she sent her for some test, sonograms and other tests. A day later, the doctor called her because she was having something growing inside of her and I was worried.

I just found out that WE ARE PREGNANT, even though the doctor said it could not happen without doctors help. God has a purpose for us to have others learn about USANA and this invisible miracles that happen in our bodies. So let this be a testimony of God's miracles and the effects of taking proper nutrition and taking care of the body that God has given us.

Cells in lung tissue activate vitamin D and increase immune function

A recent issue of the Journal of Immunology reports that vitamin D, which is primarily activated by the kidneys, is also converted to its active form in lung tissue. This conversion is essential for the beneficial activity of the vitamin in the body.

Researchers studying human lung tissue samples found that an enzyme called 1 alpha-hydroxylase helps convert vitamin D stored in the cells of the lungs into the active form of the vitamin.

The team also found that activated vitamin D increased the activity of a compound that destroys bacteria, as well as producing a protein that assists cells in their ability to fight infections.

The researchers noted that controlling inflammation through vitamin D is important because too much inflammation can cause problems related to sepsis (blood poisoning) and contribute to certain autoimmune diseases.

This one is for men only...

Gentlemen,

According to an article in the Daily Mail, men really do experience stress when having to shop for Christmas. How much stress? British psychologist, Dr. David Lewis, tells us that the amount of stress felt by a man Christmas shopping, is equal to the same tension felt by a cop dealing with an angry mob.

Self-help authors, Allan and Barbara Pease, (Why He's So Last Minute & She's Got It All Wrapped Up), tell us that's the reason why, when a man goes shopping for himself, he will "buy enough to last for the next nine years."

If you are like me, you wait for the last minute to buy your wives, daughters, moms or girl friends a Christmas gift. That means that we will buy a gift on Christmas Eve, and the mall love us, because at that time, we are willing to spend most, if not all of our money.

This year, be different, buy your significant other a gift that will tell her that you care. Buy her a gift that will keep on giving her things such as youth, energy and a smile that will keep you on a pedestal for a long time. But, what could I be possibly talking about?

I am talking about Sensé beautiful science® skin and personal care product line.

USANA Health Sciences received an official patent on May 8, 2007 from the United States Patent & Trademark Office for its exclusive self-preserving technology currently used in the company's Sensé beautiful science® skin and personal care product line.

The patent covers USANA's formulation for manufacturing Sensé products so that they are capable of maintaining their shelf life without the need for added chemical preservatives. USANA is leading the way by creating products that are "self-preserving" in that they don't require traditional chemical preservatives to maintain their shelf life.

Considered truly innovative in the skin-care industry, self-preserving technology combines proprietary blends of purifying botanicals in protective liquid crystals to keep the product fresh naturally, so skin can receive all the benefits of pure and healthy ingredients. They will love it, and love you for thinking of them.

If you are interested in purchasing Sensé products, contact me or visit out website www.karolynas.com or www.karolynas.usana.com
for a way for you to be a start this Christmas.

Produts that will change your life forever

Before my wife and I started with USANA, we had been looking for ways to improve our health. We tried many diets, supplements, colonic, and many other things that were always hard to follow, uncomfortable and they were only killing us instead of helping us. So we searched long and hard via friends, Internet, magazines for ways to accomplish our goal.

As an attorney, my job was making my body ill because I was internalizing every case that I had, and turned it into my problem. Imagine getting pay every day to deal with people's problem, and you are making them your own. So my body was feeling it. I developed high blood pressure, gastric problems, ulcers, bleeding, headaches, and too many others to mention.

My wife always wanted to help others,and help me. As a registered nurse, she had been trained to look for ways to help her patients. She would implement a nursing care plan, and implement it for the benefit of her patients. So she was determined to find a way to help me with my health problems. So the journey began.

I remember trying so many different pills because they were going to help me, so she said...But she was genuinely concerned about my health, so she kept on searching. You see, nurses are very good with research. The more she searched, the more stuff I had to try. I can now tell you that none of them worked, except USANA.

Before USANA, my wife felt that she was loosing her battle to implement a nursing care plan that would help me. I was getting worse, and she was worrying more for me. But her faith in God was great, so she kept on searching. She followed the scripture in the bible that says: "examine yourself to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourself." So she did. She was praying to God that something would come her way in order to help me with my health.

One night at the choir rehearsal room at Community Bible Church, my wife and one of her friends (which happened to be a doctor) were discussing about our reason attempt at colonic. How miserable we were, but that we had to continue until we found a solution to my health problems. Her friend looked at her, smiled and said, I have a solution. Why don't you come with me to a meeting on Thursday. So she did, and it has changed our lives forever.

Since we started USANA, my ulcer has disappear, my body is reacting differently to stress, none of the problems that I had torment me any more. I have been set free. USANA products are wonderful, and they work. See, the body needs nutrition in order to survive. I was starving my body of the right nutrients, and with USANA, I am no longer deficient on those essential nutrients.

In the bible, one of my favorite verses states:" For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13. And that is the reason for this blog, to help others in love. My wife and I have decided to share the blessings that God has given us with USANA.

We can help more people achieve the health that they need with this wonderful products. We can also help them with financial conditions that may affect you. USANA has a comprehensive plan to financial freedom. Join us, in order to help others achieve their goals.

US economy and USANA

According to a white house source, the Federal Government has responded to the financial crisis with systematic and aggressive measures to protect the financial security of the country. They further explain that "...these actions will take time to have their full impact, but they are decisive measures and big enough to work."

The source further comments that "as these actions take effect, they will help restore stability to our markets and confidence to our financial institutions; they will allow small businesses to return to a path of prosperity; and they will make it easier for Americans to borrow for cars, college education, and homes." Did you read that "BORROW," not owning but borrowing.

As our economy is getting worse, Americans need to find a way to not be so dependent on our government to help us when the economy is bad. To do that, each person has to develop a way to have residual income. USANA is that opportunity for you to finally take control of your finances.

Please contact us, if you have any questions about this amazing opportunity. Or visit our website www.karolynas.com or www.karolynas.usana.com for further details about USANA.

Moving Forward After a Job Loss

Recently, a top staffing agency published this alarming information on a website. Imagine that, you've been with your company for a few years enjoying what you are doing. Then one day, you get called into your boss's office and you are told the company is making some changes -- you've been let go. What do you do next? If you don't have residual income, you panic, right?

The agency further stated that, "if you've lost a job, the future can feel uncertain, especially in today's economic climate. But with a plan in place and the right attitude, you can increase your chances of finding a new position quickly." The agency even gives some tips on how to deal with the situation. One of them, is called using your network.

But, what if you don't have a network, what do you do next? If you are reading, you are in for a treat. Before I was introduced to what I am about to share with you, I was perhaps afraid too. You see, the only problem with the mentality of having a job, is that the same situation can happen again. You can be let go again!!!

Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says:"....in view of current shaky economic times, NOW is the PERFECT time to be in network marketing!" He further state that the truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone-unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon.

We are not here to promise you "get rich quick" type of hype, we are here to introduce you to rescission proof income that, if you work part time at it, in less time that you think, it will make you more income than what you are making now, that is if you have a job!

The reason is simple, they don't offer a product that the consumer will consume for a long time. By now, you have figured out that we are going to introduce you to a network marketing company. Not any company, but the best.

This company has been given the honor of been the best network marketing company by the watchdog of the industry for 10 years in a row. The company has been in business for 15, but it takes 5 years for the watchdog to include you on their magazine. This company has been given the recognition of having the best compensation plan in the industry. This company has more common people become millionaires than any other company in the world. I can go on and on, but I bet that you want to know which company I am talking about.

The company is called USANA. Let's see what some of the top income earners have to say about the company. Matt Ryan, Brian Boehlke are earning top dollars. They have successfully created rescission proof income that, no matter if the economy is bad, they won't feel it.

With USANA, we have been able to share the blessing that God has given us and turn them into realities for others. The reason why USANA is so simple to share with others is that, from the very beginning, its founder Dr. Wentz wanted to help people, and in turn, people realized that the products work for their lives and consequently they can share them with others.

There is a parable in the bible about three man that are given money by their master. One of them decides to hide the money, the other two decide to invest it. When the master comes back, he tells the one that hid his that he was useless ungrateful servant. The other two were given praise and more. With USANA, the same principle apply. If you receive it, you have to share it, invest it and make it grow!

In times of financial trouble, USANA can help you become financially independent and stable. Like many, we used to worry about how we were going to pay for this or that, now, we have been able to supplement our income with USANA, at the same time that we share with every one we know about this wonderful opportunity and products.

My wife is a Registered Nurse, and has been with the corporate world for several years. Although she was making a lot of money, it never seem to be enough. She was sacrificing our family in order to provide for the same family what we needed. With USANA, my wife is not doing nursing any more, has more time for our family, and she loves the fact that she can share this blessing with others.

I am a practicing attorney in the San Antonio area. For years, I have been taking care of our family along with my wife. We never seem to have enough money to cover all our bills and be happy. With God's help, and USANA products, we have change our lives forever, soon, I will be able to walk away from the practice of law and have a better life for me and my family.

You too can share this blessing, and Dr. Wentz vision. Enrolling in USANA has been the most wonderful thing that my wife and I have done. I never regret it! I have met a group of people that share our feelings about the future, and that are motivated to help others achieve the same success that they have achieved.

What is residual income and why do you need it?

The general rule is that, residual income is the amount of income that an individual has after all personal debts, including the mortgage, have been paid. This calculation is usually made on a monthly basis, after the monthly bills and debts are paid. Also, when a mortgage has been paid off in its entirety, the income that individual had been putting toward the mortgage becomes residual income, assuming that is not wasted on other debts.

Ownership is the key when it comes to residual income. Writers understand how this works, as they can continue to receive residual income through published works. Royalties are residual income, and can be reaped from any project or work that is sold to the public at large. Owning a home business is earning residual income in the purest form. Investors understand this, which is why network marketing is the way that 100 million people will become millionaires in the next decade.

Conversely, residual income is often an important component of securing a loan. The loaning institution usually assesses the amount of residual income an individual has left after paying off other debts each month. If the individual requesting the loan has sufficient residual income to take on additional debt, the loaning institution will be more likely to grant the loan because having an adequate amount of residual income will ensure that the borrower has sufficient funds to make the loan payment each month. The more residual income you have, the greater your chance to get a secured loan, even in this tough economy.

Owning a home business with USANA will create this residual income for you. Residual income offers a variety of ways to earn, and it’s definitely something that should be taken advantage of. Want an easy approach to cash flow? Make residual income, and make it happen.

How do I earn residual income? The most effective way to earn residual income is by having a system that allows you, time and time again, to earn money by the efforts of others. USANA is that opportunity that you have been waiting for to earn residual income.

How does it work? With USANA, you are in business for your self, but never by yourself. Our team will guide you through the process of creating a big residual income using the efforts of the team. Imagine, the opportunity to have free time to enjoy your family, without having to worry about going to work. That is the essence of residual income.

How do I do it? With USANA, is easy! The only requirement with USANA is that you purchase a Business Development System (BDS) and that you activate either one or three business centers. Think of this as opening one store or three stores to the public.

Business owners know that to make money, you have to spend money. This is called overhead. If you own a big business, overhead can be overwhelming. Most people could not afford this type expense. With USANA, the only overhead you have is between $100 to $200 depending upon owning one or three business centers. The difference is that with USANA, you do not work the hours that you would if you owned your business.

To own three business in the traditional way, you would have to have three different overheads. For example, three electricity bills, three rent bills, three telephone bills and so on. With USANA, you only have one bill, this is called autoship. This autoship is only between $100 to $200 depending on how many stores, or business centers you open.

How do you make residual income with USANA? Time leverage is the key. With the efforts of our team,you will benefit of the immediate residual income phenomena. If you join our team, we will train you, help you and mentor you to your way of success, in a way that you will see how residual income works. It will take your commitment to success and the burning desire for you to achieve. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? Then join our team, for a business opportunity that you will not regret.

At a glance guide to plastic bottles

Lately, you’ve been hearing all kinds of bad news reports about toxic chemicals leaching from plastic bottles and containers. Here at USANA, we care about your health. If you heat these bottles or re-use them, you might be increasing your exposure to hormone mimics or any of a number of other chemicals.

On the other hand, plastic is all around us, and not all of it is hazardous to your family’s health. How do you know which types of plastics are worse, and which are not as bad? The fist clue is the number inside the recycling symbol on the bottom of the bottles or containers. The numbers indicate which are accepted by recyclers, but they also indicate the class of plastic and its chemical characteristics:

No. 1 PETE or PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
No. 2 HDPE (high density polyethylene)
No. 3. V (vinyl) or PVC
No. 4. LDPE (low density polyethylene)
No. 5. PP (polypropylene)
No. 6. PS (polystyrene)
No. 7. Other or miscellanous

To sum up, if the bottle has the number 1, 2, 4, or 5 on the bottom, it’s made from one of the safer plastics. If the number says 3, 6, or 7, there is a greater likelihood that the bottle will be leaving a chemical residue in your beverage. Category No. 3, PVC or polyvinyl chloride, is the worst, followed by No. 7, which may contain polycarbonates (bisphenol-A).

Another clue is that the softer the plastic the more likely that leaching can occur. You can also use your nose. If you sniff a hint of plastic, find another container. Of course, your best bet is to avoid plastics for food and beverage altogether, and use glass, metal, or ceramic refillable containers whenever possible.

Dr. Wentz has diversed this information to associates all around the globe, and here at karolynas, we are making available to the public at large. Please join our vision, and Dr. Wentz mission to be the healthiest family on earth, free of disease, living long healthy lives. To join us, please click here.

Depression or Recession?

According to the experts, there is an old joke among economists that states: "a recession is when your neighbor loses his job, and a depression is when you lose your job."

However, the difference between the two terms is not very well understood for one simple reason: There is not a universally agreed upon definition. If you ask 100 different economists to define the terms recession and depression, you would get at least 100 different answers.

A good rule of thumb for determining the difference between a recession and a depression is to look at the changes in GNP. A depression is any economic downturn where real GDP declines by more than 10 percent. A recession is an economic downturn that is less severe.

Our country is in recession and going towards a depression. But there is still hope for the average person to overcome both, its called USANA. By starting your own business, you can surpass the recession. Why you should start a business Today and Recession Proof Your Income?

In a recent issue of Success Magazine, it describes "The Great Migration",
where people are leaving behind their dependence on big companies and seeking independence by starting their own business. Millions of Americans are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small businesses, through independent contracting or direct selling.

MAKE A RESIDUAL OR PASSIVE INCOME: In a job, you trade your hours for dollars. In a Direct Selling business, you can leverage your time with the efforts of others on your team. Economist, Paul Zane Pilzer, author of The Next Millionaires says, "I like the honesty about direct selling because it openly tells people the way to get rich is residual income: Get paid tomorrow for something you did yesterday- and let it accumulate."

Many people fail to become rich because they value a steady paycheck rather than going through the learning process of becoming financially smarter. The No. 1 thing people can do to increase their wealth is to start a part-time business.

So start your own business today! Join USANA and be part of this recession proof income making machine that will revolutionize your life. Click here to join. Whant to use the products first, then click here.

Hard economic times and USANA!

According to the America's Economic Report Daily, "there are many reasons that could be pointed to for the collapse of the United States’ economy. The government has pursued disastrous “free-trade” agreements such as NAFTA, and the WTO, among others. It has deregulated its financial and economic system such that big businesses can now engage is ruinous practices under the assumption that they will be allowed to continue unfettered and be backed by the government when they stumble."

On the other hand, according to business wire, USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) has been recognized by MountainWest Capital Network as one of the state's top 15 companies for revenue growth. Top Revenue Growth award winners had the largest dollar amount of revenue growth from 2003 through 2007. This is the fourth time USANA has been recognized by MountainWest Capital Network.

The reason for this achievement is that USANA Health Sciences develops and manufactures high-quality nutritionals, personal care, and weight management products that are sold directly to Preferred Customers and Associates throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Moreover, USANA distributes its products through a network marketing system. According to Dave Wentz, President and CEO of Usana "we believe that network marketing is an effective way to distribute our products because network marketing allows person-to-person product education, which is not readily available through traditional distribution channels.

Supplements for Asthma?

According to its etiology, asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating.

According to its pathophysiology, when the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing, especially at night and in the early morning.

Doctors say that, "the key in truly helping patients with asthma is to rebuild their natural antioxidant defense system and natural immune system back to optimal levels." USANA can help, by the following nutritional recommendations.

Optimal Recommendations

Essentials Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-1
Active Calcium Breakfast-2, Lunch-2, Dinner-2

Myron Wentz, Ph.D. (immunology and microbiology), founder and chairman of USANA Health Science, hypothesizes that foods with high peroxide values, especially proccessed, fatty foods, generate "free radicals" that in turn damage healthy cells. Researchers believe that supplementary antioxidants are necessary for combating these free radicals in addition to the body's normal defense.

Vitamin C and E Supplements Lower Diabetic Retinopathy Risk

Here is some useful information for the public about nutients, health and studies conducted about them.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined 1,353 type 2diabetics who were diagnosed from 1993 to 1995. Data from these subjects revealed no association of diabetic retinopathy with vitamins C and E from food alone, but a decreased risk was found among those who reported long-term (> 3 years) use of vitamin C or E or multivitamin supplements. Compared to those who did not report supplement use, long-term supplement users experienced a two-fold reduction in the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.

Although there had previously been evidence of this association from in vitro, animal, and short-term research, this was the first epidemiologic study on retinopathy to show the same protective effect associated with supplemental vitamin C and vitamin E.

Ready to make a positive change in your life?

Ready to stay healthy for the rest of your life?

The World Health Organization warns that cancer, heart disease and other chronic conditions, which already kill more than 24 million people a year, will impose increasing burdens of suffering and disability on hundreds of millions of others. These are the public health enemies throughout the modern world.

2: Cancer 6: Arthritis
3: Stroke 7: Alzheimer
4: Diabetes 8: Obesity


Are We a Likely Victim?

The world’s most destructive diseases today are not those caused by viruses and germs. They are degenerative diseases – which result from accumulated damage and degeneration of our cells.

There is yet no effective cure...

In its annual report, the World Health Organization warns that cancer, heart disease and other chronic conditions, which already killed more than 24 million people a year, will impose increasing burden of suffering and disability in hundreds of millions of others.

…but degenerative diseases can be prevented

Many people still think of chronic diseases as unfortunate, but inevitable results of old age. We now know that “old” does not equal “sick”. Balanced nutrition, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle give us an excellent chance of avoiding degenerative diseases.

The Science Behind a Lifetime of Health

How our cells are damaged

Free Radicals are highly destructive molecules. Because they are missing an electron, they destroy healthy molecules by stealing their electrons and making them into free radicals too. This causes a chain reaction of damage to various parts of our cells. Free radicals can result from our environment. They are also produced by our body in the process of burning food for energy. We cannot avoid them, but we can neutralize their action.

Why a healthy diet helps

Food - particularly fruits and vegetables - supplies many types of antioxidants, which “donate” their extra electrons to neutralize free radicals. Eating a variety of healthy food also gives our body the nutrients it needs to repair and regenerate damaged cells. With proper nutrition, our cells can last a lifetime.

By Chance or by Choice?

Nothing is more valuable than your health – not your boss, not your friends, not even your family – because when you lose your health, everyone you respect or love suffers with you. Are you maintaining your health by chance or by choice?

But I Eat Fruits and Vegetables!

Easier Said Than Done. We know how difficult it is to provide three fresh, balanced meals each day for our family. Yet, many people continue to believe that “we can get everything we need from food.” In practice, even very careful eaters find it difficult to ensure that they receive the range of essential vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in their daily diet. Here are some reasons:


Food Choice and Habit. We don’t eat sufficiently wide in variety, often sticking to the few types of food that we like. Spinach may be full of nutrients, but Popeye isn’t necessarily healthy if that’s all he eats.

Over Cooking. Heat destroys many valuable food nutrients. But for the sake of taste, we continue to boil, fry, roast and grill the goodness out of our food.

Variation in Nutrient Content. The same food – cultivated in different locations, planted in different seasons, or processed to different degrees - can end up containing very different nutrient profiles.

Should We Take a Nutritional Supplement?

A nutritional supplement does not replace a healthy diet. But proper supplementation can bridge the gap between what our body needs in optimal nutrition, and what most of us actually get from food.

Health and Freedom

For the most part, as North Americans we deny our bodies the proper nutrients to maintain health. We are overfed yet undernourished. The researchers at USANA Health Sciences and I have known for a long time that nutrition plays an important role in
maintaining health, and we feel that its significance needs to be emphasized. Can We Have Optimal Health?

Dr. Wentz founded USANA Health Sciences because it became increasingly apparent to me that the nutritional requirements of the human body were not being met in today’s environment. I knew that our knowledge and expertise in growing human cells could be used to design an advanced nutritional system that could maintain people’s health and quality of life.Our vision for USANA Health Sciences is to use our research and
technology to change the health of people in North America and throughout the world.

Today we know more about what causes poor health. However, until now, few have taken the initiative in the field of medicine to use the technology and knowledge we
have today to make products that allow us to take control of our health. Share the USANA Vision.Nutrition for the CellsBy Dr. Myron Wentz, Founder & Chairman, USANA Health Sciences.

An internationally recognized pioneer in the use of human cell culture, Dr. Wentz
has continued his devotion to developing state-of-the-art scientific products to
improve the lives of many people, both physically and financially. In the early 1970s, Dr. Wentz founded Gull Laboratories and spent 20 years developing products that would be used to accurately diagnose viral and other infectious diseases, including the first Epstein–Barr virus detection test.• After extensive research into the quality of health supplements, he made a commitment to provide himself and his family with the highest level of nutrition possible. In 1992, he founded USANA.• Dr. Wentz developed a line of dietary supplements that rewrote the standard of excellence in the nutrition industry. It is in part because of these products that Dr. Wentz was named Utah 2003 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year and awarded the
Albert Einstein Award in 2007.
