“We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born-a shifting of culture, science, society, and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead is the possibility of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community, and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the divine intelligence such as the world has never dreamed.” Dee Hock, Founder of Visa

I believe this and partner with a company that is implementing a new inspired model. I can also help you excel in your present business, whatever it is. Let’s talk- the worst that can happen is that we each can find out more about each other. Rick Emmerich

Rick Emmerich with Dr. Malia Emmerich & Jeff Tuttle, 2 of my partners.

Shutting down the 405 in LA could have its benefits.  Our traffic is bad here coming into Honolulu from the West Monday through Friday and the people are so despeate that they are allowing an incredibly overpriced and terrbily planned Rail System to be rammed down their throats.  But that is not what this blog is about.

How about telecommuting?  I can do it at my job, even though my company has its doubts about its effectiveness.  That makes it my challenge to show that it works.

OR, how about a home based business?  I heard a study showed that 85% of thgose surveyed would liek their own business.  I am not assuming that the study meant MLM, direct sales in particular but there are great benefits to either. 

My goal is to have 5 streams of income from my home.  2 are up and running, the 3rd is in the process, the 4th I start today and the 5th has been planned for about 4 months and I expect to roll it out within a week.

Now, this is not a sales pitch for you to do any of the things I am doing.  I would welcome you into either of 2 of them, and you would have to contact me to hear more.  My website idea, though I have told many (TOO many?) is my deal and I am not looking for any more competition there.  The point is, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Those of us that have been taught “Get a good job and stay there a long time.  You don’t have to like it and it will not only pay all your bills, but they will take care of you when you retire.”  We need to talk.

These days Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump and Warren Buffett (not Jimmy) are saying that MLM/home based businesses are the wave of the future-now.  Regular jobs are old-school.  College Grads are getting out (sometimes with massive student debt) and finding that jobs are scarce, or worse yet, their majors are almost becoming obsolete.

It’s almost not SHOULD I GET A HOME-BASED BUSINESS, but WHICH ONE?

Benefits include, NO commute, work as hard or as little as you want.  Guess which one pays better…Also, no inventory (usually), no shipping, or at least very little.  And, you get paid on work you do today, for months, even years to come.  That is residual.  Time leveaging can also result when you spend time with one person who then reaches out to another and another and another.  Yes it can multiply and fast if you are in the right conditions.  

For those who read this that think I am gong to pitch my company, I am not right now.  You can find out what I am doin easy enough.  I do, however have some tools to help with your business, whatever it is.  You can check with me on that too.  I expect to see great Google results from what I am doing, to give a hint.

Aloha, and don’t read this while commuting!  Rick Emmerich

Y’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.) 

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.

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.

Medical Drs, or Internal Medicine Specialists prescribe drugs to treat symptoms.  They don’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.

My good friend, who used to work in a group home where different types of medically challenged residents lived, shared this.  “The reps would come in with doughnuts and drug samples.  It was commonplace, once a month.” 

It’s been many years and the Pharma Cartels are lovin’ their status in the United States.

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’ 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.

Now, the list of ‘bad stuff’ should include:

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’s bad to eat too quickly and for those (of us) who have a problem stopping what we are eating when we are full.

By the way, I didn’t say I was perfect, did I?  Certainly, I am working on my food issues. 

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 http://www.honoluluchiropractor.net   and go ahead set up an appointment.  If you are on Oahu, it’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.

I suggest get fit, lose weight, be more active, and AVOID the prescriptions.  I HAVE lost 5 lbs. so far.

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 http://livonline.net/rickemmerich.com  If the fitness side of things is more important, Liv International has that too.  Same site.  or call me 808 371-6501 

Rick Emmerich

   I’m Rick Emmerich, in Salt Lake City with Dr. Malia.  It’s her first

time and my 5th, I believe.  Liv International is partnering with the

health conscious, healers, and regular people concerned with their

health.  Everyone I have met truly cares about the health and wealth

of others and this company does seem unique in that respect.

   This is the kickoff, and for a company that was previously known for

its weight loss products mainly, this re-branding that has taken place is a

real breath of fresh air, (like the cool blasts coming off the Wasatch Moun-

tains to keep these Hawaiian visitors chilled.)

   We look forward to the last day of the “Liftoff” Sat, and wonder what

else can they throw our way.  A well-known author and motivational

speaker, a top nutritional expert, the co-founder and product formulator,

Jeff Tuttle, Glenna Delisle-company spark plug and inspirer and a fired up

Spud buster from Idaho named Austin have all kept us in stitches, tears,

wonderment and just on the edge of our seats.  Austin won a lease on a

Black BMW for some dedicated and inspired work these last 4 months or so.

   You know how so many people are concerned about their health?

We can help.

   You know how many, if not most people want to have their own busi-

ness, or another income stream?  Dr. Malia and Rick Emmerich can help

with that.

   You know how many appreciate the blast it is to run around in stretch

limos and eat at a fancy dinner free-on the company!  That was us tonite.

This is against my character to come out and blast a MLM company such as Data Network Associates. I figure Kharma, or is it Karma, will come back and get them, in the form of terrible publicity or lawsuits. My dliemma is to wait for all that to happen, and just move on, or to say something, and warn others.
I am choosing the latter. By the way, I love the Network Marketing model of doing business.
I was approached about Data Network Associates by someone I chose to trust. It sounded like a great fast-moving company where people could potentially make a lot of money, getting the word out. Knowing some networkers as I do, that have lots of people to share such a company with, I jumped in.
Long story short, I shared it and some of them got in. Now, they dread my phone calls, I fear.

We were led to believe that this company would pay out incredible amounts of money based on some ideas that I guess, just did not sound right. The idea that they needed our help to update a national License Plate Directory to help with locating Amber Alert offenders, kinda made sense.
The thought that, by entering plate numbers, (that proved that THAT vehicle was in a certain vicinity) could help out and get me some spending money, well…I wanted to believe that.
The end result, after I faithfully entered those plate numbers, is that the company RIPPED ME OFF.
The few webinars and calls I went to seemed overly hyped with little substance. There was also the unprofessional feeling I took away from those calls.
When I had signed up and paid for a couple of months ‘dues’ I attempted to take out the money I had earned. That proved to be impossible and I changed my Credit Card number on my Account. I thought they would contact me to figure it out and I could voice my concerns to an actual person. WRONG. They had stored my number and accessed it again. Since it was a debit card, my bank shrugged their shoulders and informed me that I did not have any VISA protection on this one.
Long Story short. Data Network Associates did not EVER return a phone call despite repeated requests to do that. They returned some back office emails saying that the money would be sent, it was ‘in the process.’ They never did, and now I have had to change my bank account and debit card to ‘get way from them.’
Meanwhile, when we signed up, the company kept trying to get everyone to sign up and buy other things that they had. EVERY product seemed questionable, and I say to everyone now, RUN and HIDE from these guys.
For those of you that are seeing all the red flags that I shold have seen, Yep I get it. Hindsight is 20/20. Please avoid these guys.
And, if anyone from Data Network Associates sees this, (and cares), I would gladly retract it if your company would refund every penny I spent, including my earnings. Oblviously I would not get back the time I put into ‘working’ this flawed system, but I would walk away and take that as a lesson.

   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.

   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.)

   By the way, Big Jake the owner is not suspicious of Kona’s motives.

   “I’ll take the Cobb Salad, and a little more…” with a smile and a wiggle of the coffee cup.”

   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’T call my people.  Quite often the locals and the tourists entertain big time coffee buyers, and international ‘persons of interest’ without a clue.

   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.

   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.

   “This is gonna be a great day…”

TO BE CONTINUED

I’m the I Got a Guy Guy.  Not the original, of course.  But the new I Got a Guy Guy.  The original was Tommy, an Italian guy in Chicago.  Everyone in his family and neighborhood knew he could get something or someone when you were in need.

Another famous I Got a Guy Guy was Radar in M.A.S.H.  Lost a couple of you didn’t I?.  (Tommy was cooler.)

If you needed cable TV, He had a guy.  Want a dish, He had a guy.  Want to know how to rub a steak just right before you grilled it.  He was the guy.

And, when it started snowing in Chicago, He WAS the guy.  He was the one that told the snowplows where to go.  He routed them up and down the streets of the Windy City until the snow was removed.  He was the first one there and often, turned offf the lights when he left.  You could count on Tommy.

I can’t be as good as Tommy.  His legend lives on.  But I am a sorta hybrid I Got a Guy Guy.  I can do some things.  Now, I really want to share that if I don’t know something, or I DON’T got a guy-I will tell you.

But if you want a good restaurant in Honolulu, I got a guy.  You want to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the US to anywhere else, I got a guy.  You want to hear a story about that lost decade from 1975 to 1985, I can tell a few (true) stories.

Would you like to lower your cholesterol?  Tricglycerides?  That’s me.

Lower your golf score, not so much.  Find a golf course on Oahu, THAT I can do. 

You need a colonic, or a massage, or some earthworms, or some baby lion-eared bunnies, I got a guy-or girl. 

Need a Chiropractor, my wife is the best (Holistic Chiropractic.)

Go ahead, put me to the test.  Rick Emmerich

Mila by Lifemax is a rather new company sharing an ‘old’ whole food, making a triumphant ‘new’ return. You know what comes next.  Mila does not claim to diagnose or cure any condition or disease.  My results while recent and accurate may not be duplicated by you. 

These results DO back up previous medical studies done by LifeMax about Mila.  A clinical study conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston concluded that the raw whole food Mila, matched the leading statin drug in its ability to lower both LDL and systolic blood pressure.  One can find details of this and many other studies at Mila’s website. 

My personal, but slightly less scientific study came about last summer (July ‘09) when my doctor did a stress test and took various other tests.  I told her that I did not want to go onto statin drugs and would lower my cholesterol with natural/alternative methods.  As I walked out of the doctor’s office, I wondered how in the heck I was going to do that. 

In September my wife, Dr. Malia (Emmerich), was introduced to Mila.  My reaction as her husband and a network marketer was “You did what?!”  As an incredible gift, her high school friend actually put her in the business.  After I calmed down, I realized that Dr. Malia, an expert on nutrition and alternative/complimentary medicine, should be respected by her husband.  In October I began using Mila on an almost daily basis. 

Mila, the miracle seed, is a mixture of Salvia hispanica L. seed that has been carefully selected to maximize its nutritional value.  Our proprietary system insures that every serving is optimized for the highest bioavailability and nutritional value.  Mila gives the body what it needs — Omega 3s, protein, fiber and phytonutrients.  By giving the body proper nutrition, you help the body heal itself, which is the basic premise of whole food nutrition.

To keep things as controlled as possible I did not change my diet or exercise.  After the 2nd study I did exercise some, which I know is good for me, but other than a couple more ponds lost, I have not changed much, or been retested (a 3rd time.)

If anything I had gone on a McDonalds Dollar Menu binge for a while in Sept. and Oct.  A typical visit would be a McDouble with no pickles and a Side Salad, not using all the  dressing.  I would start the meal with a Parfait, fruit and vanilla yogurt.  I’ve since re-evaluated those choices.  

When I go now, I may still get the yogurt and eat it first, but the McDouble with be without cheese as well.  (I think that cheese is made in a lab.  Trust me, I’ve toned down the Golden Arches visits lately.  It’s hard to eat there and still call myself hearthealthguy (Twitter) or write this blog (health, wealth and happiness.) 

Now my results:                       7/09                12/09

Total Cholesterol                      264                  197

Triglycerides                             332                  115

HDL (Good Cholesterol)             36                    43

LDL (Bad Cholesterol)               162                   131

Fasting glucose level                113                   100

Heart Pumping Ejection Fraction is 54% (50% is normal)

Weight                                      207                    193

As you can see, these are all positive changes. I suggest using this raw, whole food product.  See for yourself.  Chia seeds are available in health food stores in a much lower quality.  The very reasonable price for Mila is well worth it!

Results of the tests done by Kaiser Moanalua Clinic in Aiea (Oahu) were evaluated and reported by Dr. Kathy Manzoku-Kanja at the Pensacola Clinic of Kaiser Permanente in Honolulu. 

It’s late and I have NOT written in a while.  Does that mean I am gonna mail it in?  Just put out some really quick, low quality, half-__ed ’stuff’ just to have another blog out?  Is that what you are thinkin’?

Well, you’re right!!! or…..not.

I want you to know that I am serious about building a raw, whole food business into a huge organization in the next 4 months.  It will be a lot of work, with a lot of help and a proven system, along with people finding ME in 3 different ways. 

1.  Belly to Belly.  That’s me, (and you?) calling to make an appointment or invite someone to a meeting and doing that meeting to share the biz.  A lot of people get this, but stick around.

2.  I will, and yes I’ve done it before, I WILL call a ton of people all over the country to share this and get them to my website.  You’re half way there, just open your eyes and check this site for the Links, or….stick around.

3.  This good old internet.  As I am learning it is OK and even cool to share via this gold mine of communication tool.  I mean, how else would I connect with someone in the Philippines, or Ireland, or the Maritime Provences of Canadia (yes, I did that on purpose, have a sense of humor) all, while I was sleeping?

From American Cancer Society 2003 (and the book Born To Run-get it and read it)  “compare lean and heavy people-heavier men and women are FAR more likely to die from at least 10 types of cancer.”  Just sayin, is it time for YOU to address the weight or high cholesterol.  Would it shock your system to put a raw whole food in it that gives you a high amount of Omega 3s???  Do your loved ones deserve the great product we have?  Don’t we all deserve better heart health?  I AM @hearthealthguy btw.

PS  Mila, by Lifemax is having Hotel meetings all over, and I am calling to invite contacts to them.  If interested, I can get you the info.  Contact by email rickemmerich@gmail.com or phone 808 371-6501

“Cut fat-cut cancer risk…change your lifestyle and you can reduce your risk of cancer by 60% to 70%”  Dr. Robert Weinberg. 

And last, but certainly not least    WHO wants to join me and make extra money in the next 4 months?  Yes, that’s a lot and yes, it will take dedication, direction-following, commitment, early and late hours, and an investment.  But if you DO this with me, do you think your life will change a little by the 4th of July?  (like mine)

Will you be able to:  buy more groceries, give more money to those you love that need it, tithe more (yeah), pay off all debt, get a better car, fill in the blank __________________.

Let’s do this…..  Oh yeah, it’s Mila by Lifemax, Rick Emmerich 808 371-6501

I have.  And I wasn’t really trying.  Some may say that I must have started exercising.  I wish I had, but no.

I have not eaten more salads or eaten less.  OK, maybe just a little.  But after plateauing for the last 20 months at 207 (after losing about 18 Lbs) I am now down to 200 with gusts to 198.  Yeah I am fired up.  Other health benefits have popped up, and I will get to those.

First, about Mila.  Mila, by Lifemax is the Chia Seed, prepared in a proprietary way to be the most bio-available.  It gives me my Omega Fatty Acids and is easily prepared just by dumping a scoop in the morning into my water.  I stir with a knife or spoon and drink.  OJ can be used for those that want to hide it a little but no need in my opinion.

I suggest having another scoop either in food or in the same manner later in the day.

I met the CEO Paul Rogers and he seems really down to earth, while maintaining that high and intense profile as well.  He was very approachable considering I am really a rookie in this company.  My wife got in as she was enticed by a high school classmate into joining.

Once Dr. Malia (my wife) gives a product her Seal of Approval I’m generally on board at least for personal use.

As unusual as it is to get such quick results, I have jumped in with both feet. 

More info will follow of course, and I love the attitude of the company.  Use the product, if your lucky someone will give you a bag for free, and see how you like it.  There is no hype that I know of and the way the company is expanding, they clearly have it together and a great World-vision.

Anyhow, go to http://rickemmerich.lifemax.net to find out more.  Rick Emmerich
