“People with goals succeed because they know
where they are going. It’s as simple as that.”
- Earl Nightingale
Success or failure as a human being is not a matter of luck, circumstances, fate, or any of the other tiresome old clichés. Those are only excuses. The power to achieve the life of your dreams is in your hands—and the first step toward activating it is identifying the specific goals that will make your dreams real. After all, it’s much easier to get what you want out of life when you know where you’re going.
A mission statement is only a paragraph long, but it has specific, measurable outcomes and a deadline for accomplishing that outcome. It’s truly the best way to start your journey to success. And our FREE tool makes it easy for you to put your mission statement together in a simple, step-by-step, five-minute process.
Jim Rohn said, “You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.” Creating a mission statement will help you change your direction. In just five minutes from now, you will have made the shift from an ordinary existence to an extraordinary existence.

From Life Extentions: “Back in 2003, longevity scientists
became excited when the natural, plant-derived compound resveratrol
was found to extend the life span of yeast cells by as much as 70%.
What got scientists so interested was that the gene expression
changes induced by resveratrol in yeast cells were similar to those
thought to confer longer life in human beings.”
“Drug development companies are actively seeking to patent resveratrol-like
molecules to create pharmaceuticals that would prevent and treat a wide
range of age-related diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer,
and even Alzheimer’s. The good news for consumers is that they can obtain
resveratrol compounds in low-cost dietary supplements today.”

Scientists believe that high red wine consumption in France may be the primary reason for their longevity. Resveratrol, a compound found in the skins of grapes is the ingredient in red wine that has been linked with multiple health benefits to provide support for a healthy cardiovascular system, help maintain the normal function of the brain and promote overall good health and wellness. One serving is equal to 70 glasses of red wine.
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by some plants to protect against environmental stresses. Perhaps the most notable producer of resveratrol is the grapevine, which produces large amounts of resveratrol in the skins of grapes to protect against fungal diseases and sun damage. It is therefore no suprise that wine (in particular red wine - which is fermented with grape skins) has some of the highest levels of resveratrol out of any natural food.
While it has been know for thousands of years that wine is a healthful drink (thus the old Roman saying ‘In Vino Sanitas‘- In wine there is health), the scientific community started taking wine’s health benefits seriously after 60 Minutes reported the famous ‘French Parodox’ study in which people in France were less likely to die of heart attacks than Americans despite similar high fat diets. The study concluded that the relatively large amounts of red wine consumed by the French protected their hearts.
From the French Paradox study numerous other studies were launched to attempt to identify compounds responsible for red wine’s apparent health benefits. From these studies the compound that gained by far the largest amount of interest was Resveratrol – AND RIGHTLY SO! Recent studies have concluded that:
- Adding resveratrol to the diet of yeast, fruit flies, worms, and a species of fish increased their life spans up to 70%, 29%, 24%, & 50% respectively.
- Resveratrol made fat related deaths drop 31% in obese mice. The resveratrol fed obese mice also performed much better in movement and agility tests than obese mice not fed resveratrol.
- Mice fed resveratrol had 100% more endurance than mice not fed resveratrol (i.e. they were able to run twice as far on a treadmill).
- Resveratrol inhibits blood platelet aggregation that can lead to dangerous clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes.
- Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that can help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals (free radicals are unstable atoms caused in part by pollution, sunlight, and our bodies natural burning of fat that can lead to cancer, aging, and brain degeneration)
- Resveratrol has been proven to fight cancer in vitro at all three stages; (1) initiation, (2) promotion, (&) progression.

Number 1 - Awareness:
These are the Controllable Coronary Artery Disease Contributing Factors. These are the factors that are under your control.
Raising awareness generally leads to positive gains.
•High blood pressure
•High blood cholesterol and triglycerides
•Cigarette smoke - Smokers have 2 to 4 times the risk of sudden death from a heart attack than non-smokers. Chronic exposure to second-hand smoke increases the risk of CAD.
•Obesity
•Physical inactivity
•Diet - A diet high in fats and carbohydrates increases the risk of CAD
•Diabetes
•Stress
Here’s the good News:
There are only three things that you have to keep track of in order to maintain heart health:
On a scale of 1-10, rate yourself
1. Your Nutritional Intake - How well do I eat?_____
2. Movement or Exercise - Do I get sufficient exercise daily?_____
3. Mental Health and Attitude. Am I generally a positive and stable person? ______
As you read through this series you will find over many bullet points that are categorized under these 3 broad areas. You may not be able to follow or even agree with all points, but you can remember and hopefully agree to keep track these 3 broad categories. Raising awareness generally leads to positive gains. If you lift your standards even by a few points in each of these 3 areas, then your overall heart health will improve. On a scale of 1 - 10 rate yourself in these 3 areas. If you exercise a little then maybe you are a 3. If you exercise daily give yourself an 8 or a 9. After you rate yourself, then read through the email series to follow and see if any of the suggestions or tips can help you raise your rating within a week. Not every suggestion is applicable to each one, but it’s a discussion and we are always welcome to your ideas, so let us hear from you.
There are links scattered throughout that will take you to much longer articles that bolster the points. Study what you can and what interests you.
The Starting Point: Awareness.
It’s true that U.S. heart disease deaths overall are down. From 1993 to 2003, cardiovascular disease death rates dropped 22.1 percent.But more than 910,000 Americans still die of heart disease annually, according to the American Heart Association. And more than 70 million Americans live every day with some form of heart disease, which can include high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, angina (chest pain), heart attack and congenital heart defects.
Heart Disease is still the number 1 killer in the USA. Heart Disease: That’s the bad news. The question is “Why?” “Some 7 million Americans suffer from coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common form of heart disease. This type of heart disease is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the heart.”CHD is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die of heart attacks caused by CHD.” The above is true! The actual number of deaths comes much closer to 1,000,000 when you include heart disease, stroke and the related problems. While in Iceland, they hardly know the meaning of heart disease. Statistically, their incidence of heart disease is near nil. Let’s learn from those who have the results we want. This fact alone warrants that we take time to review some simple things that are just common sense. While this report may take a light-hearted attitude at times, know this is serious business. All the same, by making light of and not being serious all the time, we can win a lot of smaller battles in the great war for truth and honesty in health and life style issues. Ours is to approach problems the natural way and see if there is a nutritionally sound way of dealing with a problem rather than putting going for the symtom relieving pharmaceutical. This article doesn’t pretend to be medically underwritten or totally scientific or address acute health issues. While we in North America have the best acute health care system in the world, we are not in agreement with addressing symptoms without looking deeper into the root causes of problems and heart health issues:
Root Causes:
•Junk nutrition
•Lack of exercise
•Stress (Poor Mental Health Discipline)
Good News: There is enough information here to give you
3 Magic Potions!
This is what we want to “sell” you on:
-
Good Nutrition
-
Good Exercise
-
Good Mental Discipline
The Goal: Keep Your Ticker Ticking for a very Long Time!
Pharmaceutical drugs are sometimes necessary and especially in emergency care can save lives. I personally believe all the hype you hear on the TV about pharmaceutical drugs, especially statins. Did you know Lipitor is the most profitable and best selling drug in history? I view those commercials are desensitizing and meant to scare you into unusual behavior like telling your doctor what to do. The bottom line is important in any business, but when the bottom line takes precedence over what’s best for the person, then we as individual need to be very involved in the decision making process.
Pay close attention to all their warnings and contraindications being read against the backdrop of smiling, happy people enjoying life without a care in the world; when it says it increases the chances of cancer or other diseases, I mute the volume
or change channels. As my New Yorker friends say, “Forget about it!” Let’s suffice it to say there may very well be holistic or alternative ways to deal with a health problem
and treating the symptom rather than the cause may not be the best way except in an emergency.
The Wellness Revolution is here to stay and we have the “new” neural network of the Internet to use for research and for finding alternatives. Here is a case in point excerpted from Independent Media: This article is being quoted for educational purposes not for any political leanings left or right or otherwise.
Pharmaceutical Commercials - Off the Airwaves!
author: North Portlander
Heavy television and radio advertising is expensive. Since our government now allows pharmaceutical companies to develop, purchase and air expensive commercials, guess who they pass the cost on to? And that’s something we don’t need when medications in the USA are already too expensive for many to afford.
Pharmaceutical ads . . . out of control. In the past, when they were banned from television and radio, the promotional campaigns of pharmaceutical companies were directed towards doctors and hospitals which makes sense. Consumers can’t buy this stuff off the shelf at the drugstore; it can only be purchased through prescription. That means that commercials push consumers to hound their medical providers for medications that may not only be inappropriate, but actually dangerous when compared to ways of healthy living (exercise, good nutrition, eating the proper amounts of food) which are often as effective in heading off problems. It’s not good for the consumer and it seeks to second-guess the medical profession.
One recent commercial is particularly annoying. Lipitor has recruited Dr. Robert Jarvik, inventor of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart to hawk its product. Jarvik lacks credibility for several reasons. First, his kind of science represents “last resort” medicine while Lipitor is supposed to head off high cholesterol and prevent heart attacks and heart disease (and that may be questionable; it has been proven to introduce other problems in some patients).
Secondly, Jarvik’s heart was not the roaring success it was cracked up to be. Twenty years ago when Barney Clark became the first recipient, he was never able to leave the hospital. He had to be kept on blood thinners to prevent clots and strokes and suffered from them anyway. He finally died of multiple organ failure.
Jarvik was forced from the company he worked withand retired from public view. He started another business with a more modest goal that did not involve the production of artificial hearts; rationale for development of the current product, the Jarvik 2000, a thumb-sized heart pump came, “. . . from the understanding that people want a normal life and just being alive is not good enough,” said Jarvik.
The commercials themselves contains some curious faux pas: The most recent one appears to take place in the sweeping futuristic lobby of a medical facility. But despite the fake signs and people walking around in lab coats, the location (as a blogger recently noted) is easily recognized as the new addition to The Brooklyn Museum of Art. The voiceover in both commercials hails Jarvik as “the inventor of the artificial heart.” He isn’t, however, and why he didn’t insist that this be corrected is unknown. More correctly, he invented the first permanently implantable artificial heart. Although the invention was called the Jarvik 7, it was developed with the aid of a partner, William J. Kolff. Paul Winchell first invented the artificial heart and donated it the University of Utah. Any improvements were probably based on Mr. Winchell’s original heart.
Finally, Jarvik says, “The average heart beats two billion times.” If the average heart beats 2 billion times and we assume an average heart beats at 72 pulses per minute then - according to the commercial - the average heart beats for only 52.9 years. The
last I heard, the life expectancy of an American was somewhere around 70. If a couple of commercials about a product can be so full of interesting errors, do you think it’s possible
that large multinational pharmaceutical companies just might lie to us about other things as well?(End of Article )
I just wonder at the medical-educational system and their reliance on pharmaceutical companies to underwrite and support it to the point that alternatives to invasive techniques are not brought to light. One of my doctor friends told me he had all of 12 hours of instruction in nutrition and 0 hours on prevention in his 8 years of medical studies. At one point he had to reject that traditional model and start his own
research in his chosen medical profession. He is now helping people to overcome toxic metals poisoning. In one study in which I participated 750 test results showed 55% of persons with serious toxicity, 40% with slight elevations and only 5% were in the safe zone.
Our bottom line is that it is okay to question doctors and make sure your health choices and decisions are well thought out, researched and that it is really your decision. Afterall, it’s your body and your health.
Back to the heart health issues, did you know there is a statin like and very effective herbal supplement that lowers cholesterol very rapidly? It’s called red rice yeast and it’s
the basis of the pharmaceutical statins but it’s non-toxic and there are no reports of side effects other than possible muscle cramping for which we always recommend CoQ10. Red rice yeast has been used in Chinese medicine for 6000 years. It’s $19.95 for a month’s supply. I don’t recommend it as a first course as we will discuss later, Omega-3s are the best protection from heart attacks, stroke, arrythmias, blood clotting, etc.
But for those that must lower cholesterol quickly this is an alternative method.
Here are Two Attitude Adjusters:
Find Out the Truth about cholesterol and heart disease by reading
Things we talked about:
-Omega-3s
-Mike Ciell, Unified Theory of Heart Disease
-Vitamin C, nature’s statin
-Move your body
I was reviewing my notes and came across the name of Mike Ciell, the pharmacologist and inventor I met at the Natural Supplements Trade show in October. He was the one who helped me to get a better handle on the whys and wherefores of Omega-3s. Well, in my notes there was a website that he posted an article on. I have borrowed the article and it’s well worth the read.
Did you know there were “other” theories of heart disease besides (lipid) cholesterol theory?
Unified Theory of Heart Disease
After reading this, I can tell you, you will want to be getting more than 60mgs of Vitamin C per day. (I am now taking 1200 mgs. 20X more than the recommeded dose. I am not trying to stave off scurvy, I have bad genes and this really helps. Mike calls it Nature’s statin.)
Oh, I signed up to run in a 5 mile race on December 15th in Baltimore. Everyone thinks its the Celtic Solstice celebration but really its my birthday and I figure I can run the 5 miler with the older crowd. Waddle, waddle, jog, jog, walk, breathe.
I have been doing the run/walk/run thing about 3.5 miles every other day. I am sure the momentum of 3000 people joining me on my birthday will carry me through. I will take plenty of Res-Q 1250 and Vitamin C that day, as I do every other day.
When I was 14 I ran the mile in 7 minutes. Who decided to make the mile so long that it now takes me 12 - 13 minutes? And that’s only the first mile. Jog, jog, jog. Ugh. But it feels really good when it’s over.
Take plenty of Omega-3s and Vitamin C every day. Shake that bottle of water before drinking it. The water molecules will thank you. Get up off the couch, park far away from the mall, walk a lot, jog a little. Breathe. Enjoy the season.
So I am glad I reviewed my notes. I will get in touch with Mike. I have some ideas for a new project that I want his help on.
As always,
Choose Health!

Living with an Open Heart
“How can my heart be healed? How can my heart find relief?” People frequently ask questions such as these when they are suffering with physical, emotional, or psychological issues of the heart.
Although we might think that heart ailments affect just the physical body, new medical research has proven that our thoughts and emotions play an important part in the development of heart disease. In fact, studies have shown that certain emotional states - social isolation, anxiety, depression, and anger are actually risk factors for heart disease.
Dean Ornish, M.D. a prominent cardiologist from the University of San Francisco has shown that healing our emotional and psychological state is critical for preventing and reversing heart disease.
What can be called “An Open Heart” is a way of living that can be learned. It’s my experience and belief that learning to live with a more open heart can have a profound affect on heart disease. Click here to read more from Dr. Laman, Cardiologist
