<p>It is our mission to detox the US, one family at a time.  Hawaii is one of the</p>
<p>10 &#8216;cities&#8217; involved in this ambitious and inspired project.  Other include the</p>
<p>Phoenix area, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas to start.</p>
<p>The Detoxing of the body means to get a person&#8217;s body to an alkaline state,</p>
<p>rather than acidic.  Most are aware of the positive value associated with be</p>
<p>coming alkaline.  Some experience weight loss and we have products that</p>
<p>focus on that.  Others want improved circulation with an L-arginine product</p>
<p>which we have.  Then, a great fiber product (Crave) and a Kidney Cleanse add</p>
<p>to the package.  Two unique sprays utilize top quality natuaral ingredients to</p>
<p>help people that want to fight their addictions-and win.  SereZen helps balance</p>
<p>the Serotonin levels in the brain and improve moods.  Sxinney Mist makes the</p>
<p>sugary and salty foods that many crave-taste terrible.  It allows us to &#8216;cut off&#8217;</p>
<p>our hunger craving.  They also help freshen the breath. </p>
<p>Last, but certainly not least is Blox, which has mushrooms amd other ingred-</p>
<p>ients that act as an immunity booster.  &#8216;Homeland Security&#8217; in a Bottle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So far, I can attest to the quality og Go-Nitrimax, the L-arginine product.</p>
<p>The increased circulation acts like Viagra for me and my wife.  It helps me</p>
<p>prepare for and recover from workouts.  I have lost about 9 pounds so far</p>
<p>with the above products.  My wife, Dr. Malia and I use most of the products,</p>
<p>and have not been sick since we discovered them.  WE HAVE detoxed and</p>
<p>that is what we want to share with others.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the other ways Liv International products can help you detox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Ftwo-issues-finances-health%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Ftwo-issues-finances-health%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>That&#8217;s about it.  When my wife, Dr. Malia and I talk to people about their lives, two things keep popping up.  Now, she&#8217;s the Dr. and obviously her focus is usually nutrition, body structure, injury issues, weight and emotional concerns.  As Health &amp; Wellness coaches, we both are interested in others&#8217; issues.</p>
<p>You know how many if not most people are concerned about their health?  It&#8217;s true.  Whether they realize their diet is junk, or junk food.  Or they absolutely see that their weight has to change.  (Usually downward.)  Maybe it&#8217;s Diabetes, or the need to be more regular, or needing more energy, or wanting better moods and relief from depression.  Maybe they work out and want to recover quicker.</p>
<p>We can help.</p>
<p>A lot of people are truly behind the 8 Ball financially.  Backed into a corner, struggling.  They fall into two categories and often want to find another job.  OR, they have heard about, or experienced others that have their own businesses and want to do that.  It has been said that an extra 400 a month would help avoid most bankruptcies, car-repos and even some divorces.  OK, I added the last one, but it makes sense, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>We can help.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s Honolulu Star-Advertiser: &#8216;Bankruptcies fall, but businesses, individuals still struggle&#8217;  I can relate, and that is exactly what Malia and I hear.  WE want to hear from you.  Not just listen for  a minute and then try to fix.  Perhaps it would not be a good fit anyway.  But, as connectors/networkers/coaches/listeners/Christians/friends/fun people we would actually pay attention.</p>
<p>We are going on a fantastic inspired journey.  Perhaps you or someone you know wants to go too.</p>
<p>Rick Emmerich     rickemmerich@gmail.com</p>
<p>(Now, I wish this would go without saying, but I am not recruitable for your deal.  I do NOT need SEO, I am quite well off in that dept.  I am not a good candidate for your juice, or gadget, or get rich quick scheme, I DON&#8217;T BELIEVE IN ANY OF THOSE.  I welcome correspondence, but hate spam and those that want to pitch me on some deal without knowing who I am.  I&#8217;d rather you did not send me a broadcast call, because I am tired of playing that game where I set my phone down and you are billed for the time that I allow it to play.  You then may even waste your time calling me back several times.  That game has lost its thrill.)</p>
<p>After all that, I guarantee some will do those things, but it is well worth it, if someone else that wants to share and have a listener, actually gets through this disclaimer and is not afraid to respond.  And yes, even ONE person makes it all worth it.</p>
<p>Aloha, all the best to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Fwhos-the-biggest-drug-pusher%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Fwhos-the-biggest-drug-pusher%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>Y&#8217;all know that the big Pharma Cartels get away with murder.  Actually 200 BILLION Dollars worth of prescriptions were sold in a recent year.  2005, I believe.  There is a breakdown as to what types of meds and I will leave that for another blog.  I spent 15 dollars this year so far, and that is far below the average per citizen of 833.33 dollars (per year.) </p>
<p>As I speak there is a commercial for Lipozene.  Meanwhile Dr. Malia and I know that there are better products out there because we have been working with them.  However they are not advertised on TV due to the massive cost undertaking such a campaign.  MLM allows regular people like you and I to share the passion we all have for these cutting edge products.</p>
<p>Now, to get this out of the way, I am NOT a Dr. but I sleep with one (every night.)  She does know about nutrition, as well as the whole body.  The focus of a Holistic Chirpractor is to get to the root cause of issues, to get the body to a place where it can heal itself.</p>
<p>Medical Drs, or Internal Medicine Specialists prescribe drugs to treat symptoms.  They don&#8217;t get paid to find root causes most of the time.  In fact the Pharma Cartels have elaborate systems so they can distribute drugs to doctors who will gladly prescribe them after they have given out samples.</p>
<p>My good friend, who used to work in a group home where different types of medically challenged residents lived, shared this.  &#8220;The reps would come in with doughnuts and drug samples.  It was commonplace, once a month.&#8221; </p>
<p>It&#8217;s been many years and the Pharma Cartels are lovin&#8217; their status in the United States.</p>
<p>But guess what?  Even though they seem to be winning the war for the lives of the citizens, alternatives have been here and been here for longer.  Despite the Cartels&#8217; efforts to make natural and alternative methods illegal, there are a whole lot of us.  We know that nutrition, exercise, drinking Green (to alkalyze the body), keeping weight under conrol, eliminating the bad stuff, see below, and many other practises keep the MDs away.</p>
<p>Now, the list of &#8216;bad stuff&#8217; should include:</p>
<p>Tobacco/Cigarettes, White Flour, White Salt, White Sugar, deep fried foods, dairy, canned foods (high in salt), SODA, too much alcohol, or caffeine.  Ice Cream, meats with their Nitrates and Nitrites.  And no matter what you eat, it&#8217;s bad to eat too quickly and for those (of us) who have a problem stopping what we are eating when we are full.</p>
<p>By the way, I didn&#8217;t say I was perfect, did I?  Certainly, I am working on my food issues. </p>
<p>I want to give a general idea that there are a lot of alternatives out there and consulting a holistic chirpractic and partnering with companies that have a variety of healthy products can gto a long way to improve your health.  go to <a href="http://www.honoluluchiropractor.net">http://www.honoluluchiropractor.net</a>   and go ahead set up an appointment.  If you are on Oahu, it&#8217;s a short drive for you.  If you want a referral for a holistic chiropractor in your area just contact Dr. Malia through here website.</p>
<p>I suggest get fit, <a href="http://www.holyteaclub.com/rickemmerich"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="Holy Tea Site"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://rickemmerich.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">lose weight</a>, be more active, and AVOID the prescriptions.  I HAVE lost 5 lbs. so far.</p>
<p>If you would like to have a weight loss program that is clinically tested and has great ideas about exercise and lifestyle besides the product, go to <a href="http://livonline.net/rickemmerich.com">http://livonline.net/rickemmerich.com</a>  If the fitness side of things is more important, Liv International has that too.  Same site.  or call me 808 371-6501 </p>

<p>Liv Secures Trademark on Proprietary Product</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Liv International announced that it has been granted a trademark for its proprietary product, Green2o.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Liv International President (and Product Formulator) Jeff Tuttle stated,  “We have been working with our attorneys and the trademark for many months to secure the rights to the Green2o name.  Green2o is a proprietary product made from a base of chlorophyllins and enhanced with fulvic minerals that helps to shift the pH level o the body from an acidic state to an alkaline state.  Green2o also contains grape seed extract and resveratrol, highly acclaimed and clinically documented antioxidants.  Because of its effectiveness and because of the new awareness on the part of the public regarding alkalinity, Liv wanted to protect the name of the product.  Most understand that H2o is the symbol for water.  Green2o becomes the symbol for ‘the future of hydration’, the tagline of the new product.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Liv International is a total body transformation company with a focus on products that helpbalance the pH of the body, reduce weight, improve energy, and overcome addictive behaviors related to foods, alcohol, and tobacco.  Parentheses added by Rick. </p>

<p>I really wasn&#8217;t ready for the incident, but I was moving my body towards that day bite by bite of terrible food.  I loved food and ate as much of the bad stuff as I could.  I just wasn&#8217;t aware of the impact.  Brats, (that says Wisconsin, right?) beef, cheese, milk, white bread, and sprinkle in the fast food, which was more of the same, except worse. </p>
<p>I also drank soda, being quite brand loyal to one, the one that starts with P.  Who knows how acidic and let&#8217;s just say sludge-like my blood was,  Other than the hero of the day, coming to a gurney near you.</p>
<p>Thank God for my cardiologist.</p>
<p>That was, of course, Dr. Frank Cummins, who just HAPPENED to be there that day.  He took care of me quicker that you can say Cardio-Catherization.</p>
<p>When I woke up in my room, I was instantly grateful that God had spared me.  For one second I had thought &#8220;this could be it&#8221; as I was moved into the elevator at my job where this all happened.  As quickly as that came up, I thought &#8220;No, not now, not yet.&#8221;</p>
<p>As I made progress and went from a grayish color to pale and then more like my original self, I really thanked God in prayer.</p>
<p>My book is released.  I am a published author! Thank God I&#8230;.. I know that I am truly blessed.  It&#8217;s a gift to be able to actually say the words.  I know that my experince is not as tough as some, and I can&#8217;t wait to read the other writers&#8217; stories. </p>
<p>Stay tuned here to read more and to get the link to get your book.</p>
<p>Aloha, Rick Emmerich</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Fthe-adventures-of-kona-rick-pt-1%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Frickemmerich.com%2Fblog%2Fthe-adventures-of-kona-rick-pt-1%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>   He was passing on the perfectly proportioned ‘Penny’s Papaya Passion.’  What looked like an old man brunch is a culinary work of art, but you would not know it from the plain menu.  As a matter of fact, it was Kona Rick’s suggestion that gave the dish its name.</p>
<p>   Kona sipped pure Kona coffee from the perch overlooking Kealakekua Bay in the distance.  In fact, a look down and to the right reveals the trees that yield this berry brew.  He’s secretly researching the carrot cake recipe-convinced that the item is on the tip of his tongue.  (Kona had connections to some big carrot cake fanciers from the East Coast.  For years they have been after the complete recipe to offset the high cost of shipping from Kona.)</p>
<p>   By the way, Big Jake the owner is not suspicious of Kona’s motives.</p>
<p>   “I’ll take the Cobb Salad, and a little more…” with a smile and a wiggle of the coffee cup.”</p>
<p>   This is the kind of place where secret negotiations go on in public.  There’s no frou frou fancy drinks here, no posse, no dogs in purses.  Your agent WON&#8217;T call my people.  Quite often the locals and the tourists entertain big time coffee buyers, and international ‘persons of interest’ without a clue.</p>
<p>   There’s a rumor that a very larger Sumo Wrestler type guarded the backroom one time in ’99 as negotiations involving a zebra and a helicopter.  The animal and the helicopter came in on a ship late one evening to Kawaihae harbor.  The coffee was hauled out that same day in a bunch of suitcase and duffle bags.  Other packages were shipped out over the following weeks.  The leader of a small island republic really liked that same coffee that I was drinking today.</p>
<p>   This brew is a salt of the earth specialty that much of the world has not experienced …yet.  Anyway, as Alyssa brought the famous Cobb creation, and the clear view became ever-so-foggy due to the vog, our hero felt the caffeine kicking in, just as his vision seemed to gain focus.</p>
<p>   “This is gonna be a great day…”</p>
<p>TO BE CONTINUED</p>

<p>struck up a conversation, the talk got around to stress.  I am only an expert due to my annecdotal ex-</p>
<p>perience, but I have some stuff to share.</p>
<p>   In Tom Hopkins&#8217; great book, The Official Guide to Success, he touches on the subject.  &#8220;If you&#8217;re tense and uptight, it&#8217;s because you have stress trapped inside of you.  Most people don&#8217;t realize that this matter can be dealt with.  Now do they understand that it MUST be dealt with-the choice for all of us is between succeeding in spite of, or failing because of&#8230;.tension.</p>
<p>There are 3 choices when you sart feeling the pressure.</p>
<p>1.  Keep your stress botled up.  This is bad, obviously and I would say this choice is he most important of the factors that led to my heart attack 6 and 1/2 years ago.</p>
<p>2.  Let your stress spill out any way it will.  The most primitive part of our mind knows that we have to get rid of our stress somehow.  Some end up drinking, choosing apathy, becoming ill, overeating, abusing drugs and/or alcohol, or talking too much.   Most of these do a poor job if at all, and I highly suggest you get and read Tom&#8217;s book to get all the details.</p>
<p>3.  He suggests good options since we must be able to recognize when stress is coming on.  Oce that is achieved, he mentions laughter, sweat (strong physical workouts), taking direct and indirect action to relieve the stress.  A great one is a massage or aqccupuncture.  My wife and I like to go to a silly movie or a blow em up movie, but not so much a documentary or something too heavy.  Our favorite music helps.  I happen to have a strong belief in using sex as a stress reliever.  There are dietary choices, and natural remedies.  How bout Yoga, a sauna, laying out in the sun followed by a dip in the ocean.  Or prayer and/or meditation.  All good.</p>
<p>In any case, get his book and develop a personal plan to defeat stress.</p>
<p>and, while you are at it, watch for my new book, Thank God I, Tales of Inspiration, Vol.3.  My chapter is Thank God I had a Heart Attack.  Stay tuned to get a copy from this blog.</p>
<p>Thank you, Rick Emmerich/to see what else I have written about my heart incident, check out previous blogs.</p>

<p>McDonald&#8217;s has announced that they are going to start importing much of </span></div>

<p>news.yahoo.com</p>
<div>Too fat to fight? Many American children are so overweight from being fed french fries, pizza and other unhealthy foods at school lunchrooms that they cannot handle the physical rigors of being in the military, a group of retired officers say in a new report.</div>
<div>Thanks Yahoo and the military for the scoop.  No surprise, though.  This country is ready for a revolution, a FOOD revolution.  How about some more greens, some fresh vegetables and better yet, some vegetables grown within a hundred miles of our homes.</div>
<div>To say nothing of the almost elimination of all Physical Education in schools.  I am not a n expert, but I have heard that there is little PE left.  Kids don&#8217;t walk to school like we did.  I see the parents dropping off the kids in the SUVs and BMWs.  I would bet that a mile walk each way every day would do them, some good.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A friend of mine is 14 and lives about 3/4 of a mile from High School.  I said &#8220;you walk right?&#8221; and she turned up her little nose and said &#8220;Walk, and get all sweaty?&#8221;  (Ummm no, of course not, sorry I asked.)</div>
<div>Kids LOVE McDonalds, and I watch parents giving even babies Doritos and junky cookies, and candy.  Wow.</div>
<div>Kids these days would rather talk/text on their cell phones, or play video games than actually go on a  hike or go to the beach, or ride a bike, or heaven forbid, play a game of basketball or softball.  Not all kids, but a lot of them.</div>
<div>So apparently it will be even harder to field an all-volunteer armed forces with so many obese teens and young adults.</div>
<div>Our diets have to change before we ALL get Diabetes, and hit morbid obesity.  Just sayin&#8217;. </div>

<p>My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.  I agree. </span></p>
<p>If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.  Seriously.. </p>
<p>Please read: </p>
<p>STROKE IDENTIFICATION: </p>
<p>During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall &#8211; she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered t o call paramedics) she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. </p>
<p>They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening </p>
<p>Ingrid&#8217;s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital &#8211; (at 6:00 PM Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don&#8217;t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. </p>
<p>It only takes a minute to read this&#8230; </p>
<p>A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke&#8230;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">totally</span>. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. </p>
<p>RECOGNIZING A STROKE </p>
<p>Thank God for the sense to remember the &#8216;3&#8242; steps, STR . Read and Learn! </p>
<p>Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. </p>
<p>Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:</strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 24pt;"> </span><strong></p>
<p>S * </strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 18pt;">Ask the individual to SMILE.</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 24pt;"><br />
T * </span></strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 18pt;">Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)  (I.e. It is sunny out today) </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 24pt;"><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">R</span></strong> </span><strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">* </span></strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #4f4f4f; font-size: 18pt;">Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p>If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number <span style="text-decoration: underline;">immediately<br />
</span>and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.<span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #0000a1; font-size: 24pt;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">New Sign of a Stroke &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Stick out Your Tongue</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 18pt;"><br />
</span></strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 18pt;"><br />
NOTE: Another &#8217;sign&#8217; of a stroke is this: Ask the person to &#8217;stick&#8217; out his tongue.. If the tongue is &#8216;crooked&#8217;, if it goes to one side or the other</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: blue; font-size: 18pt;">that is also an indication of a stroke.</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: red; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p>A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. <strong></p>
<p>I have done my part. Would you?</strong><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
