Testimony from a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Nurse

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on December 31, 2009

With the recent headlines of people dying from ” Vanity” surgery complications, looking at alternatives to help eliminate trouble spots can save you the pain and expense of surgery.  The following is a testimony from a surgical nurse who has opted for a natural approach and the success she has experienced.

This is an exact copy of an email from Jennifer in North Carolina:

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jennifer Trick and I am a new believer.  I’m a nurse and have over 10 years in Plastic and Cosmetic surgery experience.  The Body applicator goes against everything I have been taught and I still can’t believe it.  In three weeks I have gone from a size 18 to a 14 and the tone of my abdomen has greatly improved.

As a former plastic surgery nurse, I would have told my patients that there are not any products or exercises that can tighten the abdoment and especially improve the skin’s elasticity without surgery.  Well I can admit when I am wrong.  I’M WRONG… I was amazed with the before and after pictures and with my trained eye,  I was able to locate land marks on both the before and after pictures.  They are for real.  I am blown away.  Again going against everything I’ve ever been taught.  WOW!!!!  These are miracle products for gastric bypass patients.  That will cost you $10,000 – $20,000 and alot of scars.

NO PAIN!!!!  I am in love with these products and with this business.  I do know that God has given us everything we need to heal ourselves but modern medicine has become lazy.  It’s easier to write a prescription and send patients on their way than to teach them about nutrition and natural products.

“God’s medicine” can heal them.  The lack of nutrition is the beginning point for all diseases especially cancer.  I ahve seen people healed spiritually and nutritionally.

God has lead me to Russell Carr and he led me to It Works and not a moment too soon.  I lost my job with the hospital I was working for after 5 years of spotless service.  I injured my knee at work and I’m having my second surgery very soon but it’s OK.  God works in mysterious ways.  If it wouldn’t have been for this injury, I would not have been off work during the week I met Russell at an open house.  I knew that I had met him somewhere before but we couldn’t put our finger on it.  I called him after falling in love with the applicator and losing over 6 inches.  I told him to sign me up and during the sign-up we remembered where we had met in the past.  It was at my brother’s church.  So you tell me, coincidence or God?

God I hear you and I thank you for It Works and for Russell.  Through you God, I will help everyone I can spiritually, physically and financially.

Jennifer Trick  ( end of testimony)

Who do you know who would like to lose some weight?

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on November 17, 2009

How many times a day do you over hear people discussing their latest diet ?  People are obsessed with their weight.  Or, more accurately, their excess weight has become their focus.   Searching for the latest, greatest, fastest weight loss plan available has become a pasttime for many surfing the web.  

Mainstream media has helped the feeding frenzy by such popular television shows as “The Biggest Loser”.  The news media has given attention to all of the obesity related illnesses such as cancer in prime time specials.  Even our government has taken a role in promoting healthier options in vending machines in elementary schools. 

All of this attention has led to many products flooding the consumer market that are only causing bank accounts to get smaller.  Testimonials from so-called product users are nothing more than paid advertisements.   

How can you know if a product really does what it says it will?   

How do you know which products will work?  

Here are a few simple steps you can use to help you find a product that meets or exceeds their advertised claims.

  1. Do they have a well known medical doctor that is a consultant for their company?    Any product that is able to help people with such a difficult issue as weight loss is going to have a doctor overseeing the day to day questions that consumers ask and providing the appropriate responses to them. 
  2. Are they secretive about the ingredients  in their product?   A  company that has nothing to hide will certainly be up front with the ingredient list for any of their products.  There will not be any ingredients named ” herbs” on that list , either.  The list will be specific and detailed and not generic names for the ingredients.
  3. There will be company contact information on their website.   When you see a phone number on the website of a product that interests you, pick up the phone and call that number to see if it is a working number.  You can still use the convenience of online ordering to buy but you know that there is someone you can reach in the event of a future question.
  4. Last, but certainly not least, search to see what other consumers are saying about the products.   Products that truly work are not a secret.  You will find people talking about them on social media sites  and in forums.  Now, I should qualify that statement with the length of time the product has been on the market.  Newer products may not be as easily found being discussed on social media sites simply because there have not been enough people exposed to them, yet.

The main point that we, as consumers, need to remember is that the desire to lose weight should not cloud our judgement when it comes to purchasing products to help us attain our weightloss goals.   We need to make certain that the products we chose are ones that will make us healthier and not just help us to lose a few pounds quickly.  The overall goal is to lead a healthy, long life.

Here’s to the journey!

Worried about your weight?

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on November 9, 2009

Hi !!

It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in Blytheville, Arkansas!

I just wanted to remind you that with the Fat Fighters, you can have a little more peace of mind when it comes to the rich foods we’ll all be eating between now and the first of the year.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Don Ver Hulst,M.D., says that 2 of the Fat Fighters absorbs the equivalent of 11g  of butter!  That’s alot of calories that won’t be showing up on my hips! WooHoo!!  He also says that they help to balance blood sugar and to balance the pancreas.

I’m not a doctor but he is and I am taking his word for it!  I just know that I don’t gain weight even when I am not a good girl and stick to healthy eating.

Something else that he said the other night impressed me about the new Ultimate Thermo Fit just released this fall.  Capsimax, one of the active ingredients in this product, is only found in 4 products TOTAL in the US.
It is the thermogenic ingredient that helps you to burn more calories(raises your metabolism).  The acai berry in it not only helps to make your body leaner, it also helps to fight free radicals.

Knowing that these products are making me overall healthier – as well as keeping me thinner – is the big reason I love this company!
We all know that being heathy isn’t just about a number on the scales.  This company proves that to me by the additional benefits I receive from the products they have formulated!

How many extra benefits will you get from taking Alli ?
How many from taking prescription diet pills?
I think the list those products offer is called “side effects”! lol!

I hope you all have a safe, happy holiday season!!
I’ll be enjoying my Momma’s cooking!

Terry Ann
PS:  I’ll keep my Fat Fighters in my purse! lol!

Why Timing is Everything by Michael Newman, Self-made Millionaire

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on November 9, 2009

 

When it comes to success in the business world, timing is everything.  How many times have items or ideas popped up over the years that never initially caught on, but became all the rage only a few years later?  In order to ride the wave of success, there are a few things you should know about starting up your own business, and how to make sure it stays successful. 

Predicting the right time to go into business for yourself can be quite difficult, but if you look closely, sometimes you can see the writing on the wall.  For instance, right now, if you live in Florida, Nevada or California, it might not be the best time to get into the real-estate business.  Why not?  Well, because the housing markets in those three regions are in serious trouble.  No one is buying and people are losing their homes from foreclosure in record numbers.  Therefore, it looks like the housing boom has passed and it’s now in a slowdown…not the best situation for money making.

If you’re looking to get into business for yourself, it’s important to pay attention to societal trends. For instance, a couple of years ago, it was house-flipping.  Many Americans were making all kinds of money snatching up undervalued properties, investing in them and fixing them up, and then selling them at a nice profit.  Why was this business so successful?  Well, because it was a great time in the housing market.  Banks and lenders were making it easier for Americans to buy homes and the business was booming like a loud bass drum. 

A couple of other examples of current trends are healthy lifestyles and gourmet coffee.   As you may have noticed, the restaurants in your area have been offering healthy alternatives to traditional, high-fat meals, your grocery store is selling organic produce and there are health food stores and products popping up all over the place.  The same can be said for gourmet coffee.  Cafes are opening up across town, and even the fast-food mogul McDonald’s is breaking into the action. 

Paying attention to trends is extremely important for opening up a business.  You have to find the right time, and that all depends on what people are doing, and what they want.  To know this, you’ll have to pay attention to your target market and find out when the best time to get involved is.  For instance, there have always been healthy alternatives, health food stores and organically grown food.  The thing is, it was only once the trend became actively promoted by governments and received a large amount of media attention that the industry really exploded.  People started becoming more health-conscious and, with that, new business opened in droves and existing businesses altered their strategies to accommodate the new, rapidly expanding market. 

The earlier you act on a developing trend, the better.  The longer you wait, the more you risk just becoming  “another face in the crowd” . ~end of article

 

If you are looking for a home business servicing the growing health-conscious community, email Terry A Shackelford at shack1959@att.net  for information.   Her business has continued to grow throughout the economic downturn by offering consumers first-to-market, natural weightloss, anti-aging and nutrition products.   With reality weightloss programs on television, the news media reporting on the obesity epidemic and governments growing involvement in their citizens health, consumers are looking for ways to improve their health in record numbers.  Act now.
