Want To Make Some Easy Extra Money???

Hi Friends,

I’ve got an interesting topic for all of you today and it involves you doing very little but making easy money in the process. How, of course, is the question you’re asking.

It’s a business partnership venture I’m calling, A Natural Fit, and it’s a concept I’ve put together based on another NSP program called Business in a Box.

All businesses work together to buy, sell, trade, execute or inform other businesses. By working together, each business can offer their clients additional services and comforts they might not otherwise perform.

Here’s a simple example; while you’re waiting in the dentist’s office, you pick up a magazine to read. That magazine comes from a business selling subscriptions to the dentist for the pleasure of the dentist’s clients while they wait. One business providing a service to another that wouldn’t normally be in that business. The dentist doesn’t write and print his own magazines. He buys them from another company that provides that service.

Another example would be when you go to the salon to get your hair styled, the shampoo the stylist uses, comes from a business that sells the product to the stylist to use on your hair. The stylist doesn’t make the shampoo herself. That other business sells the shampoo, providing a service, to the stylist.

This is the basic business concept behind A Natural Fit, but it’s even easier.

All of us know healthcare providers and personal care providers. We’ve used them throughout our lives or perhaps they’re friends, family or neighbors. The question is going to be, are they friendly to “natural products?” Most are, perhaps without even really knowing it. For example, does your doctor suggest you take a daily vitamin, or does your personal trainer suggest dietary products to help you lose weight or build muscle, or does your manicurist suggest you should take something to strengthen your nails, or does your dentist suggest that your kids should get less sugar. These are just a few of the ways that healthcare providers and the personal care providers use “natural” products or more natural ideas.

The providers we just talked about are giving advice on products but are not making any money on their advice. Their clients are buying products at the local drug, department or grocery store. Did you know that about 70% of Americans buy some form of “natural” product for their health? If these providers sold Nature’s Sunshine products to their clients directly they could make the difference between retail and member pricing, which is significant, about 33%. But who wants to deal with having an inventory? Here’s a better way. The providers can make lots of easy money by having those same clients purchasing products they’re recommending, directly from NSP. The providers do nothing but set their clients up to buy products online when they need them.

Here’s where you and I come in. You have the contacts, the healthcare and personal care providers, people that you know already, either by personal contact or through friends and family. I have the knowledge of the products and the product line that the providers would be recommending. A Natural Fit network with a wealth of free information.

The best part is, you DON’T have to know the products and DO NOT have to do any selling, you are simply introducing me to the providers you already know. When they decide it’s in their best interest to be a part of A Natural Fit, we register them directly under you. Every time they or any of their clients buys a product through NSP, you make a commission on it.

Let’s assume for a moment that we’ve signed up a doctor you know, and he has 100 clients. Of those, he has 25 of them who are purchasing Super Trio vitamins. Every month his 25 clients, without him doing anything, are ordering a combined $1250 worth of product via the internet. Not only will he make a 27% commission on their purchases, that’s $337.50 in his pocket, but you’ll make 12% commission, $150, in your pocket. And this happens every month. And all you did was introduce him or her to me and let me tell them about the great Nature’s Sunshine products and about A Natural Fit idea.

Now imagine your dentist doing the same thing with our sugar free products, your personal trainer with our weight loss products, your chiropractor with our skeletal and joint strengthening products, and so on. You get the picture right? You are making money off them all and all you did was introduce them to me.

In addition to that, I will offer them personalized service as well. I’ll help in choosing the right products for the services they provide, direct contact through phone and email, on-site counseling and education of NSP products if requested, staff training for client online purchases, and talking directly with clients with individualized health concern questions.

And here's something else to think about. The vitamins and herbs that you're purchasing for yourself will cost you nothing because you're getting money back each month from what you're earning on everyone else.

We form A Natural Fit between you, me, the providers, the clients and NSP.

You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. First, during casual conversation ask your providers if they recommend natural products to any of their clients and what they might be. Then ask them if I could give them a call to talk to them about A Natural Fit.

Here’s a list of some of the healthcare providers or personal care providers that could benefit from a relationship with us. Write down the names of the people you know next to the descriptions. Next time you see them, talk to them about A Natural Fit. Then call me.

Mangosteen Miracle

Mangosteen?

What is that?



Mangosteen is a tropical fruit known as the "queen of fruits" by the countries in Southeast Asia who enjoy it. And many around the world who have eaten it say it's the world's most delicious fruit.


However , the fruit is treasured for more that just an after dinner dessert, Mangosteen has medicinal properties that far outweigh the benefits of taste. The healing powers of the fruit have been known for years, particularily in Thailand. The compounds in Mangosteen, known as xanthones, have powerful antioxodants properties and the fruit is featured in recent literature claiming it has anti-cancer effects, prevention of high cholesterol, antibacterial effects against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including tuberculosis, antifungal activites and inhibitors of HIV-1.

In addition, the polysaccharides of the mangosteen fruit stimulate the cells and kill intracellular bacteria.

It makes you want to run out and buy some, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, this fruit is not sold in the U.S.

So, where can you get it?

It can be enjoyed in NSP's Thai-Go Juice, where it's combined with 10 other powerful antioxidant fighting fruits. Antioxidants prevent cellular damage from free radical cells in your body that cause aging and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and arthritis.

Ok, it's not cheap, I'll be honest. It costs about $50 for 2 bottles of 25 ounces each. That's $1.00 per shot. But like I told a friend, you find it so easy to spend $5 or $6 on a shot of Tequila or $50 on a night on the town for a bar bill or on a few bottles of wine, but for the things that will help you be healthier and live longer and protect your body from diseases, you can't imagine spending $50.

If you combine the Thai-Go juice with Super Trio vitamins, for about $100 a month you can create an environment in your body that will enhance your health and make it difficult for bacteria and viruses to thrive. Isn't that worth something to yourself?

I read an interesting article by Steven Horne in his "Dr. Mom-Dr. Dad" book. He describes taking care of our bodies like this-

"To understand the basis for pain and disease we need to take care of ourselves at a cellular level. Cells are the basis of all living things, both plant and animal, and our life depends on keeping those cells healthy and happy.
Think or yourself as in command of a vast empire consisting of literally trillions of cellular citizens. That empire is your body and you are the ruler.

If you are a good ruler, your cellular citizens are going to be happy and you will experience pleasure in the form of good health. If you aren't a good ruler and your decisions cause injury to vast numbers of your subjects, those cells are going to complain and you will begin to experience pain and discomfort, like in the form of inflammation, which is the beginning of most major afflictions of the body. So, if you want to be healthy, you'll have to make certain those needs of your cellular citizens are satisfied. "

So, in conclusion, protecting our bodies from free radical damage, at the cellular level, is the first necessary step in keeping the body healthy.

You can purchase the Thai-Go juice and Super Trio through our website at www.mynsp.com/hometownherbs or if you have any questions about your health concerns, contact us at hometownherbs@gmail.com or call Renae at 480-720-7735

Warning About Swine Flu

The Center For Disease Control is posting daily updates on the spread of Swine Flu in the United States. The symptoms appear to be the same as regualr influenza. Here's the link to read up on it. http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/index.htm

There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Although it has only appeared in a few states so far, we all know how fast regular influenza spreads. Stock up on your Silver Shield now before it comes to your area. A teaspoon a day will help boost your immune system and if you have Swine flu, take a tablespoon twice a day at least to fight it off quickly. Another great product is Elderberry Defense. This helps in making the flu virus unable to replicate.

As always, you can contact us if you have any questions about any NSP products or if you have any other health related issues.

Make a Green Change

Did you know that April was Earth Month? That's because Earth Day falls on April 22nd. This is the month we're supposed to be more "green" aware, if we're not the rest of the year. As a matter of fact, some publications are calling this generation of kids, the Green Generation, because of their awareness and concern for green issues, like conservation and global warming.
Here's some tips from the Earth Day Network, http://ww2.earthday.net, on simple things you can do to make your home and life more green;

-Change your light bulbs to highly efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs.
-Drive your car differently; slow down, don't race your car's engine, and watch how long your idling.
-Your house – not too hot, not too cold. Try to keep the thermostat consistent, instead of changing it up or down.
-Tame the refrigerator monster. It's the biggest consumer of electricity among household appliances. Changing the adjustments just a little will save energy. And if that second frig has only a few items in it, unplug it.
-Turn the knobs down on your other household appliances. The hot water heater only needs to be set at 110-120 degrees.
-When possible, wash a few dishes by hand. Over time, that will save a few loads in the dishwasher, conserving energy.
-Go organic, eat locally grown food. If the food doesn't have to travel far, there's less CO2 from the trucks that ship it.
-Buy recycled.
-Be a minimalist, every time you buy something, energy has gone into getting that product to you. So the less you buy, the more you save energy-wise.

And of course, Nature's Sunshine has some great products to help you go more green and save you money too.

Did you know that the EPA states that the worst air pollution is inside our own homes? That's right! Airbourne hazardous and toxic chemicals inside homes have concentrations 2-5 times higher than levels outside. Here's two ways you can clean up that danger to your health.
First, properly dispose of all those hazardous and toxic chemicals. Second, buy Nature's Fresh and Sunshine Concentrate.

Nature's Fresh is a great product for just about everything and it's enzyme rich and all natural. We use it to clean spots from the carpets or clothes, as an air freshener instead of using chemically harsh plug-ins, as a vegetable wash for store bought veggies, and it even works great to stop the itch on insect bites and the pain on burns and sunburn.

Sunshine Concentrate is pH balanced, biodegradable and non-toxic. We do all our laundry with it, without using any other soaps. It's great for cleaning floors, counters, tables, any surface you come in contact with, because it won't leave a toxic residue like other cleaners. And after you've clean with it, you can actually use the left over water to water your outdoor plants. With the two of them, you can replace all the dangerous chemicals in your house, helping the environment and saving you tons of money.

Call or email us if you have any questions on other uses for these products. And please, send this blog to people you know who can benefit from using Nature Sunshine products. With your help, we can make our families and friends, happier and healthier, one person at a time.

Spring Cleaning

Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings. After a period of slower activity in the winter, the whole world seems to speed up in springtime, almost as if we, along with the plants and animals, are trying to make up for lost time.
We often need or feel like we want to "rev our engines" a little bit in order to clear out the gunk in our systems. We can't wait, when the weather warms up a bit, to get out and work in the yard, walk around or ride a bike. We all love to open the windows and air out the house and clean out all the clutter from winter to make room for "new life" and activity.
Well, it's also a great time to clear out the body of toxins that have accumulated during the winter. Whether we realize it or not, we all tend to eat "heavier" foods during the winter months to keep us warm. These "heavier" foods take longer to digest and clear out of the colon and intestines, which means they can be re-absorbed back into the body and can sensitize various tissues in the body that trigger allergies and hay fever later in the year.

Nature's Sunshine has several products to give our bodies that spring cleaning that they need. Some of the herbal formulas that clean our blood are I-X, BP-X, Enviro-Detox and Milk Thistle Combination. The Tiao He Cleanse is also great for cleaning the liver and colon, conveniently packaged in a 10 day program. This includes the All Cell Detox, which is another formula that helps the tissues detoxify while supporting organs of elimination like the kidneys, liver, colon and lymphatic's.
If you'd like to purchase any of these products you can visit our website at www.mynsp.com/hometownherbs or if you have questions about any of the products feel free to call or email us. And if you know of anyone who might benefit from reading our blogs, please pass it on to them.
Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings. So, now is the time to establish habits that will support your health over the coming years. Take the process one step at a time and enjoy the results from the efforts you make. It's a great time to renew yourself!

Daily Positive Actions

Recently I came across some really great advice on having daily positive actions. Being positive in our lives, daily, especially in these hard economic times, is challenging. Negativity, along with the stresses we face, creates an unhealthy environment for our bodies. So, being positive and focused is important to our overall mental and physical health.


Here are some of the daily positive actions steps to consider;


- Count your blessings and be grateful


- Monitor what you hear, what you read and what you say


- Set aside personal time to reflect or meditate


- Set aside time to be with loved ones or friends


- Help someone less fortunate


- Feed your spirit


- Reflect on your victories


- Watch your words, be life affirming


- Create an upbeat, positive greeting that builds enthusiasm to everyone around you


- Develop a clear vision, a passion or a goal with completion dates


- Exercise, eat healthier and get the proper nutrition your body needs


The last one is so important because without exercise we become stale and lazy, we don't think as clearly. Without good healthy foods are bodies become burdened and stressed trying to expel the garbage we put into it. And lastly, proper nutrition, by taking the herbs and vitamins our bodies need and don't get from the foods we eat.


There are three main supplements we have in our home and they'll give you the bulk of what your daily requirements are and also give you some preventative actions to keep your bodies healthy.


My first recommendation would be Super Trio. It comes with three supplements in each daily packet. The three are, Super ORAC, which helps neutralize oxidation and the destructive effects of free radicals in our cells, Super Omega 3 EPA, which is an essential fatty acid, and Super Supplemental, which is the vitamins and minerals that are foods are lacking.
















The second recommendation would be Thai Go Juice. This one ounce daily supplement is a powerful juice blend that can optimize your health. It has the antioxidant power of 11 friuts, which protects our bodies from the free radical damage we sustain from improper eating and stress, and shields the body against the forces that age us. And I'll add, it has a great flavor too!






















And my last recommendation would be Silver Shield. This amazing patented product has been found and documented to kill over 500 different disease causing pathogens, like MRSA, SARS, Malaria, Anthrax, and viruses like hepititus C, Aids and Influenza. It's non-toxic to humans and animals and is more effective on bacteria and viruses than antibiotics and other drugs. It won't harm your good bacteria either the way antibiotics do. By taking a teaspoon of Silver Shield daily, you help support your body in its fight against everything you come in contact with on a daily basis. It is preventative protection that lets your organs and your whole body work on the other important functions instead of disease fighting.
























These three products, at the very least, should be in every home. Of course there are more specific herbs for other specific needs, but these three will help put you on the road to better health and maybe even a more positive outlook on life.

Health Crisis Hits Home

In the March 16th issue of Time magazine, I read a story titled, "The Health Care Crisis Hits Home" and it made me wonder why we as Americans put up with a government and a system that doesn't work.
Politics aside, the article talked about how we can think we're paying for health insurance but when we submit the claims, the insurance companies deny the coverage. So it made me wonder, why do we sink so much money into insurance only to find we're not covered anyway? We all need catastrophic insurance for those unexpected times we find ourselves in the emergency room. But why do we have coverage for the basics like doctor visits and prescriptions when neither of them work for our benefit and in the case of prescription drugs, harm us more than they help. Remember, prescription drugs deal with the symptoms not the causes. So we are never cured or healed, that's why you generally have to take them forever. Herbs on the other hand work on the causes, the root problems. Once those root problems are gone, you don't need the herbs anymore.
Listen to what the article says, quoting, "Our system pays doctors to diagnose, test and treat - not necessarily keep people healthy. It's why chronic diseases like diabetes absorb 80% of our health care dollars. Pay for holistic success." Exactly I say. Why pour money into basic insurance that won't cure you when for less money you can take herbs and get well?
I leave you with a quote from an ad about the allergy drug Singulair on the back of the Time magazine. Under important safety information, it says, quoting, "Side effects are generally mild and vary by age, and may include headache, ear infection, sore throat, and upper respiratory infection. Side effects generally did not stop patients from taking Singulair."
Why on earth would you risk any of that and would you continue to take it, as it suggests, even if you had those side effects?
If you suffer from allergies, here are some products from Nature's Sunshine that can help you. We call this our allergy blocker formula, it includes, ALJ, Histablock, Trace Minerals Maintenance, Allergy Homeopathic and EW. It will cost you about $70 for these but they will last you a couple of months if taken as advised.
If you'd like more information on any of these or on any Nature's Sunshine Product, call us at 480-720-7735 or email us at hometownherbs@gmail.com
We are here to help you.
