Well, I’m finding the Trump Network to be quite interesting at the moment. It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure and I’d like to share a little bit about that.

I was actually working on a real estate investment situation where my family has a housing development that is floundering due to the economy. Absolutely tremendous development, but very bad timing. So, I recalled a connection that friended me on Facebook a couple of years ago, Duncan Wierman, and I looked him back up. I ended up chatting with him and getting some good feedback and some actionable items, however something that caught my eye was an entry about the Trump Network.

The name alone, Donald Trump, caught my attention. Obviously he’s a tremendous billionaire real estate mogul, and the star of The Apprentice, but what would this Trump Network be?

So, I researched this out a bit and discovered something that really piqued my interest more than anything. It turned out that he had explored several competing companies early this past year and ended up choosing a company called Ideal Health upon which to apply his name and acquire. This company was consequently rebranded to the Trump Network this past March and has begun to really pick up steam ever since. BUT, the product is what is fascinating.

First, they actually take test (urine for the majority of needs, but for allergy testing a blood test is available) and match this with leading edge technology that is JUST NOW becoming available to the consumers of the nation. I actually had a similar idea (my concept and product are actually still unique and actually complimentary of this offering) a few years ago. When I saw a portion of my idea implemented in this fashion, I became excited and upset. Once I did realize that it was not a competitor to my concept, I became much more excited.

Frankly, as others have put it, this was a perfect storm. It is cutting edge technology offered to consumers to customize our nutritional intake to our personal needs based upon absorption. Further, it is rebranded with the name of a very big business man that simply does not generally fail nor give up. These two alone are enough to draw me in as I know it will be insanely huge, but there is more.

His concept of an American bail-out is interesting. I think it can help indeed, but there’s more to it.

I have a secret that I’ll let you in on here. I have a family member that is a high up executive in a mega international corporation. This person has been over marketing of several different world regions and has presided over new and secret product launches. It has been a long time since this person shared this with me, so I’m going to go ahead and share it here without any particular details that could land me in very hot water, but you’ll understand the core AND you’ll see one of the reasons that this venture is so BIG.

This person created a new market line specifically for children that would provide foods and snacks that would be specifically tuned to enhance their mental and physical performance. It would give them an edge to compete in the world. This corporation was not willing to bring these child nutritional enhanced lines to the United States unfortunately and were only going to focus on third world nations, particularly India.

I found this interesting and disturbing. We really needed this in our country and I found myself wanting to beg for the products for my own children. It was disconcerting to say the least for me as our junk food nation needs this more than any other land on earth.

So, as I was reviewing the products, I agreed that the vitamin regiments were tremendous. The energy drink mixtures were great. The weight loss product line, Silhouette Solution, is absolutely fabulous and far superior to Nutrisystem. BUT the upcoming products are fascinating!

These folks are going to obliterate Amway and all of the competition. Not only is their product line superior in quality and customized to an individual’s needs, but they are moving ahead in very big ways that are going to be insanely large markets. Sure, they have an anti-aging cosmeceutical line coming, but they have this new line for children coming down the pike! I will guarantee that my children will be among the first to take advantage of the brain boosting and health boosting effects of these offerings!!!

So, I’m trying to chronicle some of my progress as I move ahead here and actually document my lifestyle and marketing success through my dedicated Twitter account for this project. Please follow along and learn with me! I’m really starting to get excited.

After the initial excitement, I was finding that I was being bombarded with too much information, but finally after speaking to my up-lines I’ve found some very useful information. I was really thrilled to know that I’m actually part of the largest group or leg of the Trump Network among some of the oldest in the Ideal Health business. Thus, my frustration turned to hope and I’m really seeing the light now.

Speaking to one of my Diamond Director uplines I learned that while it took her three years to become a Diamond Director it is now only taking folks THREE MONTHS! The earning potential at this phase is phenomenal. It really is.

After we had a meeting this past Saturday with some local folks who became interested in our ads, my wife, Yolanda, became very interested. She’s now as or more gung ho about the entire thing than I am. Please follow her on her Twitter account as well. She has some very good tweets and a great imagination for content that will really carry her far in this. I think you’ll have a blast reading some of her remarks.

One other interesting thing is that this is a convergence of some very hot topics at the moment. If you look at it, people are first concerned about wealth and simply making ends meet or paying bills. Everyone seems to struggle and who couldn’t use some additional income? This is your first though, even before health because having your financial needs met or wealth is actually a gateway to health! How can you focus on being and living healthily if you can’t afford food, healthcare, insurance or the time to exercise?

I know I face this dilemma regularly. It’s so hard to do what you know you need to do if you are working to take care of your children and to pay the bills. Mr. Trump has hit our needs right on the head, even if we don’t yet realize it.

Finally, please check out a few other links to learn more. To see Donald Trump himself give you a short presentation, click this link.

We’d LOVE to work with you. I think with my computer consulting and computer science, graphic design, animation and entrepreneurial background that I can help you to really see tremendous success if you’re interested in participating in the next big health and wealth revolution to hit our nation.

I’m really happy that we have all of the internal networking and support needed to help us to realize success. I tried one MLM/network marketing venture several years ago and was burned badly. I vowed never to do it again, particularly because I tried it and my sponsor bailed out on us. I am happy to say that this is not the same. Not only is the business kit to get started on the Fast Start program MUCH cheaper than many, I now know that I have the support I need to actually realize success.

We’re planning on going to Miami in November and getting a person photograph with Donald Trump ourselves and really would love for you to come along with us. I think it will be a lot of fun.

Shoot me an email, tweet me (of course my personal as well) or just go here to read a little more or this will allow you to request more info.

This morning I feel somewhat sobered.  My wife came to me and said, “I feel like I’m mourning.”  I asked her why and she explained that this economic crisis and the condition of our nation make her feel like someone great has died.  She is very concerned about what will happen next and as to what our children will be facing.

I, too, feel this burden.  It seems that we have made the full transition from the world superpower to the world’s super-farce.  I indeed hope that this is temporary, but the only way that it can be temporary is if we make some changes. Read the rest of this entry »

:( Well sure, doesn’t this happen all the time? Read on and let your malcontent with our current medical situation rise:

Researchers at the University of Alberta believe DCA is the cure for cancer. But big pharmaceutical companies aren’t interested because DCA is not patentable, meaning there is no money to be made, so they will not spend millions for clinical trials.

A couple links for DCA:

I just heard a story about a dear little girl who is in the final thralls of cancer and it renewed my angst and made my blood boil even more so than usual towards medical research governors. Too much pain has this illness cost our human family. Too much profit does it yield for the medical “industry.” Read the rest of this entry »

Forgot to mention this a week or so ago. Of course this is something that has been demonstrated before and claimed long ago (over 25 years ago) by Linus Pauling. I’m glad to see that folks in the medical community are starting to take hold of old ideas that seem to have worked for others. I’m trying to remain somewhat positive rather than cynical of the medical racketeering industry.

In what I’ve been hoping to see for all of my life (since my grandmother and grandfather passed away when I was still just a baby) it finally appears that the medical community is acknowledging one potential cure for cancer. It’s something I’ve read about in the past regarding boosting the human immune system and is something that goes along with what my D.O. grandfather had always said, “Our bodies have everything they need within themselves to cure themselves. We just have to give our bodies what they need in order to heal themselves.”

Disenfranchisement with the medical industry (read: pharmaceuticals and insurance companies) is the reason that I decided to move away from medical school and fully into computer science and then of course operating my own business. I have always wanted to help people, but it is really impossible to help people as fully as would might desire in our healthcare environment today. I feel that I can do much more service to humanity and the world through innovation and utilizing my creativity, as that is one of my true gifts.

It appears that we need to be more cautious and prudent in our consumption of antioxidant supplements. It would seem that perhaps consuming these antioxidants as a long-term health plan or consuming healthy foods rich in antioxidants throughout the course of your life is the best plan of action.

Here is the article in which this information was recently revealed.

It also certainly strengthens the Lord’s recommended law of health as set forth in the Word of Wisdom. I am ever increasingly more grateful for the revealed truth that our Father in Heaven offers to us as we seek to receive it. He gives us knowledge based upon readiness, willingness to work for it and sometimes simply when we ask the right questions (which is often a manifestation of readiness).

Key takeaways from the article:

It is plausible that cancer cells are at increased risk of damage from oxidative stress compared to your normal, healthy cells. In other words, taking antioxidants might ironically be protecting your cancer cells, allowing them to survive more than anything else.

It is likely that because cancer develops from long term damage to your cells, as in the case of skin and lung cancer, that trying to limit damage for a relatively short period of time by taking antioxidants like vitamin E or vitamin A probably has little or no effect. It is analogous to a car that is already rusted when you apply a protective sealant to it. The damage has already been done. Just as the sealant is protecting the already rusted car, the antioxidant is protecting the already cancerous cells.

Here are some recommendations that have stood the test of time and clinical study in preventing cancer:
• Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables every day (in contrast to supplements).
• Limit your intake of simple sugary carbohydrates such as white bread, chips, etc.
• Exercise every day and keep your weight down.
• Protect yourself from the sun with broad spectrum sunscreens and protective clothing.
• If you decide to take a daily supplement, the only vitamin that I recommend taking everyday is vitamin D. There is good evidence that vitamin D supplements can be protective against certain cancers. Taking 1,000 mg of vitamin D3 a day is the best way (much better than sun exposure) for elevating your vitamin D levels. More on this in a later post.

Interesting. While digging about for some specialized surveillance software for a client, I stumbled across a link to this on digg.com that does indeed demonstrate *WHY* static electricity and gasoline can be a bad thing…

With the announcement of the production of a beating heart (from an animal sample) we are certainly worlds closer to the vision that many of us have of reproducing our own organs or replacement organs for others in vital need.  For example, I have a dear friend with hemophilia that is essentially in perpetual misery and jeopardy of death that really needs a new liver in order to enjoy a more natural life.

He cannot even sign up for a transplant unless he is considered dying (I really don’t understand what qualifies for dying if his condition does not) and thus has very little hope of any sort of recovery.  Currently the government pays well over $1 million for his factor medicine a year and he is unable to ever receive a regular job (must make under $5 per hour the rest of his life in order to qualify for government health insurance and he cannot live otherwise as no insurance company appears to be willing to cover him with his condition).

We have a much more serious problem in our nation with health insurance, I believe, than 95% of Americans really understand.

This development could not only make his life livable but also very much assist the massive drain of money in our nation that happens for so many in his situation.

What an amazing article. We certainly need to see this move forward quickly. I know a fellow at this very moment on a waiting list for a heart transplant and I’d love to see him receive such a wonderful gift. Still quite a ways off it seems as it has not been moved to humans quite yet, but exciting nonetheless:

Summary:
… Professor Doris Taylor, director of the university’s centre for cardiovascular repair, believes it could be a significant step towards creating custom-built hearts, blood vessels and other organs for people with serious illness.

“The idea would be to develop transplantable blood vessels or whole organs that are made from your own cells,” Taylor said. “It opens a door to the notion that you can make any organ – kidney, liver or pancreas. You name it and we hope we can make it.”

The new technique was reported at the American Heart Association’s recent annual meeting in Orlando, Florida. “This is a proof of concept,” Taylor said. “Going forward, our goal is to use a patient’s stem cells to build a new heart.”

I’m quite intrigued by this Orexin A study that has been released. How wonderful it would be to have something that promises it’s benefits without serious negative side effects if used with prudence. That would be wonderful to shave the edge off of a night’s rest or become more alert when arising in the morning. It even appears that you can purchase this in some form or another from googling around.

Can anyone with more background in this arena shed some light or insights on this?

And a more pointed, question, what can we consume in terms of nutrients in order to stimulate abundant production of Orexin A within our own bodies? There must be some method for helping the production of this peptide along within ourselves.

Some references to this:

WARNING: I just did find some other things that disturb me of the usage of Orexin as a stimulant until we have better control over biological processes such as cancer. It appears that there could be adverse affects for those with cancer who may use Orexin and consequently if someone does not know that they have cancer and start utilizing Orexin for stimulation it seems that they may be able to “overdrive” the cancer cells into a higher production state, thus worsening this person’s condition. Any thoughts, further observations or deeper understandings of this article?
