"Dead Doctors Don't Lie" by Dr. Joel D. Wallach

Man, that is a shocking statement if you don't know why it was made. The implication that our doctor could lie to us sends tremors up many people's spine. I grew up in a neighborhood where many of my good friends parents were doctors and I loved them all and knew them well. I also know they were human. I saw things you don't hear about in the office. I mostly saw honest people.

The book "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" is the result of the experience of Dr. Joel D. Wallach. If you have heard him in a live seminar, on a CD or tape or have read his book you know where the title to the book comes from. I believe that the best way to get the whole story is to read his book but I will try and give you some sense of a shortened version of where it came from.

Doc grew up on a farm in the Midwest. He loved agriculture and went to school and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1962, with a major in Animal Husbandry (Nutrition) and a minor in Field Crops and Soils. In 1964 he was awarded a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.), also from the University of Missouri. Thereafter, he completed a three-year (1965-68) post-doctoral fellowship at The Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1982 he obtained a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.) from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Besides studying in his field he worked in related areas and earned a living for his costs and tuition.

The title "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" was created by Dr. Joel Wallach after years of research on the subject of health and longevity. Dr. Wallach discovered that the life span of the average doctor in America is several years shorter than that of the average couch potato. Dr. Wallach began collecting obituaries of doctors only to find that many were dying of simple nutritional deficiencies. Doc believes if doctors really know the truth about health and longevity they should be living longer than anyone else, not dying sooner. This premature death pattern proves that doctors are missing some key elements when it comes to understanding what it takes to live a longer healthier life, hence was born the title... "Dead Doctors Don't Lie".

Years ago when Dr. Wallach first started giving this message it was very controversial. It is amazing to me that I heard a similar message the other night on the TV show “Boston Legal.” Doc was not credited with the information or was he credited this morning when I heard similar information he has been saying for years given on "NBC Morning News." We are told that we should check with our medical doctor before we do anything that could in any way eventually impact our health. In fact it is mandated by the FDA that anyone without a medical degree can get in big trouble for making any health suggestions to anyone else. The title of Doctor Wallach's book is his way of pointing out that apparently doctors are not trained in all the areas they are given credit for or they would be living longer than the average guy or gal. This assumes they are the fountains of all health knowledge. Doc and "Boston Legal" point out there could also be a financial interest in how our health is dealt with. There is a huge amount of leverage wielded by the medical and pharmaceutical lobbies. In fact Congress has even legislated that the word "cure" cannot be used in regard to Human Beings. Doctor Wallach has spent a lifetime curing animals big and small, domestic to wild beasts. Many diseases we suffer from have been cured in animals and are no longer a problem for them. On the surface it seems it's not in the best financial interest of the human health system for there to be cures. It's more practical for us to have long term care and protocols that last for a lifetime.

Dr. Wallach has done over 17,000 autopsies on 454 species of animals and 3000 humans, researching disease, nutrition and longevity. Doc states that Ninety Five percent of chronic and degenerative disease can be prevented and reversed by giving back to the body the missing basic elements of life. As an expert on soils he further states that food supplies do not contain all the 90 essential nutrients. Agricultural soils have been depleted of the vital minerals that your body needs for optimum health. Plants that we eat cannot make these minerals and are now deficient in them. There is no such thing as "Eating Right." If the minerals aren't in the soil where the food is grown, they are not in our foods. We are full but starving for the vital building materials to maintain a healthy active body and lifestyle.

Dr. Wallach is a fountain of knowledge. I attribute being alive today to hearing his message and acting on what I learned. I know that the products I took, and continue to take, impact my life in a positive way. Doc's message of health is not just for my body but also in regard to our financial health. He not only wants us to be physically healthy but has provided us a way to actually get these life saving products for free and also earn extra money for our financial health. Youngevity has changed my life and I welcome you to also give it a try. www.mineralwealth.us/ Dr. Wallach is on the air daily during the week in the San Francisco area and on http://www.ksco.com/ under the title "Dead Doctors Don't Lie." He can change your life. Have a great day. Wes

Ok, Lets Hear From You.

Sometimes it takes someone stepping forward to prime the pump.

So, as you know I am a Network Marketer. So what is a Network Marketer? Some of you may think it is your product. Some of you may think it is the company you are aligned with. I believe it is when you truly enjoy meeting and working with people of like mind.

One of my favorite things I do as a Network Marketer is business lunch clubs. It is amazing how many there are and how many different agendas they have. Typically you get to have lunch, some kind of presentation is given and you get to do a small commercial about your product or company. These functions can be very profitable for your business. I love face to face social networking. The hardest thing you do is put out your hand and say "Hi, my name is Wes. What's your name? What do you do for a living?

Networking always booms in a down economy. Tax incentives, part time extra income, great products, people teaching people are some networking attributes. I love it.

Ok, now it's your turn. As you see it doesn't have to be long. Give it a shot.

I got my autoship yesterday from Youngevity and they are having a sale. I am including the offer in case you haven't seen it. I know you understand we have great products!

Check them out at http://www.mineralwealth.us/ or use your account if you have one.
Have a great day! (Remember to speak up, toot your horn, introduce yourself) Wes

A Day of Backstroking.

I was talking to someone last night, whose opinion I truly value. The gist of the conversation was that I might be too long winded. These last 2 weeks have been pretty in-depth and I know time is valuable to all of us. Anyway, I think some changes in format are in order. Say, Monday and Thursday the information will be "On Youngevity." The other three days we all want to hear from you. I say "we" because, even though this is technically my blog, if you can't take ownership also, no one will have a reason to visit this but me. We want to hear from “you.” I hope you are here and care enough to take your time and speak your mind.

I would like to steer the conversation to a topic, if that's ok. So, the question for today is: What do you do for a living and how is this economy effecting your employment and your industry?

If you want to remain anonymous that’s ok, but my hope is we will all get to know each other. My other hope is that you will have fun and invite like-minded people to chime in also. I am about Youngevity but of course it isn’t required that you be in Youngevity to get something out of this blog. Another thing that would be great is pertinent testimonials on the current health and business topics. You need to give your name and contact information on those, so we meet the FDA and FTC rules on testimonials.

Have a great day! Wes

What Are Some of The Uses For Plant Derived Minerals?

We have a lot to thank Dr. Wallach for when it comes to Youngevity Plant Derived Minerals. First, he explained nutritional minerals and the factors they play in our health. Next he found a source of minerals that fit his requirements for us. Finally he contracted that the product would be exclusive to Youngevity. It is incredible to be an independent distributor in Dr. Wallach and Dr. Ma Lan's Youngevity Global business.

So what are some uses of Plant Derived Minerals? The first and most obvious use is to drink the minerals. When Blake Graham introduced the minerals to the Japanese he found they were amazing when it came to finding alternative things minerals are good for. Blake provided this list of some of their uses for our minerals.

Drink

• in Tomato Juice
• in Orange juice
• with lemon in ice water
• my favorite is with my Youngevity Body Toddy liquid vitamins and minerals

Anti-bacterial

• gargle for sore throat
• mouthwash...kill bacteria that causes tooth decay
• use to kill bacteria on toothbrush

Anti-oxidant

• Cheri-mins on bananas, apples
• Plant Derived Minerals reduce spoilage on tomatoes

Aerosol spray bottle: mouth

• mouth spray - kill bacteria for sore throat
• spray on tongue to kill the white bacteria that causes bad breath

• mix 30 cc in 1 liter of water for houseplants-greener, bloom where they didn't before
• mix 15cc in 1 liter of water for garden plants - bigger fruits & vegetables - more resistant to mold - more resistant to bugs (less pesticides)

Other Uses

• spray in your nose to help relieve hay fever symptoms
• can use as an eye wash (mix with at least 5 times as much water)
• spray on hemorrhoids

It's incredible that a product can have so many uses. It is even more incredible that Doc and Steve have priced this product so reasonably. The wholesale cost of Youngevity Plant Derived Minerals for each litre, which is a months supply, is only $18.00. Each litre contains a natural assortment of approximately 19,000 mg of 100% Organic Plant Derived Natural Mineral solids fully suspended in filtered water. A list of the 70+ contained minerals is available. Be sure and use the product according to the directions on the bottle. Try them for yourself. You will be glad you did just like I am. You can order from your account, or from the person who sent you here or you can get them from my account at http://www.mineralwealth.us/ if you are hearing this for the first time.

This is an incredible product! Have a great day. Wes

Doc's Fantastic Plant Derived Colloidal Minerals

So now we know what we are looking for, where do we go to find these incredible minerals? I suggest we follow Doc Wallach to the mine. Your first question should be "Mine? How do you pick plant derived minerals in a mine?" I thought the same thing myself when I first heard the concept.

For the complete story I refer you to Wellness Publications, Dead Doctors Don't Lie by Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Ma Lan.

In 1925, a rancher in Utah made a historic discovery when he found the remains of an ancient rain forest that had been uniquely encapsulated and preserved. This material known as humic shale was laid down at a time when the earth was young. This was a time when the earth was abundant with many minerals in the soil. Trees, plants and fruits contained at least 77 water-soluble minerals, which provided luscious, succulent, vibrant, life-sustaining food. At this time there were no carcinogens in the air and trees and vegetation grew and then fell back to the ground. What resulted was a giant compost pile that grew thicker and richer for thousands of years. Realizing the value of what he found, the rancher mined this material and developed a leachate process to extract the liquid minerals, which were first bottled and sold as mineral water in 1926.

Today small portions of humic shale in southern Utah, are mined and the minerals extracted with clear, pure, cool water to the desired balance and concentration. The mineral leachate is then processed through a complex array of special filters to allow only the organic plant derived colloidal minerals in the final solution. The result is the premium Majestic Earth Plant Derived Colloidal Minerals product that meets Joel D. Wallach's quality standards, time-tested and enjoyed for over 75 years. This mineral product is 100% organic, containing neither metallic minerals or salts and is not manufactured from ground up rocks, bentonite, soil, clay or ancient sea beds, which are the most common sources of other so-called “colloidal minerals.” As a final protection against rock-based minerals contaminating the product it is run through a reverse osmosis filter system the equivalent of forcing water through a phone book. No rock-based minerals are ever present in Doc’s products. What this means for us is that the minerals are water-based and your body will use what it requires and slough off the rest. I've been many times to the mine and would like to give you a tour with pictures. This does not in any way compare to the real thing. When you get a chance to go, be sure and do it.

A huge benefit of the mine tour is the few hours we are taught by Doctor Wallach, Steve Wallach, Dr. Gehard Schrouser, Blake Graham, Todd Smith, Richard Renton and many other leaders and experts on the bus ride to and from the mine.

Our hosts at Total Nutrition are always incredible at making this a huge value for the money. There are generally at least two Trailways Busses full of people and the lunch at the processing plant is always great. There is a huge benefit in being with friends and like minded people in your organization as you find out about the mineral heart of Youngevity.

In a cut away on the surface, Blake Graham points out and explains about the minerals. It is

incredible to realize a natural product like our minerals exists and that we are the only ones that have it. Many nutrition stores sell a colloidal mineral but check the label. Their product has around 900 mg of minerals but they are ground up metallic mineral. Their minerals settle to the bottom of the bottle. Also, the absorption rate is very low, 2 - 12%. We have a guaranteed 19,000 mg of around 77 minerals. Our absorption rate is 98%. We have the bang for the buck and your health. Again, read the labels.

Thanks for coming along on the ride and tomorrow I will tell you some of the many uses of our Youngevity, Plant Derived Minerals. Have a great day! Wes

What about Dr. Wallach's minerals?

So, Friday we learned minerals are 60 of the 90 essential nutrients. We learned that the food we are eating is on a steady down slide in nutritional value because of where it is planted and how many plantings have been made in the soil it comes from. It makes sense that every crop removed, reduces the value of the minerals in the soil. We learned that Dr. Joel Wallach, in his research has shown there are more than 900 diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies.

My question is, “Do you believe it?” Have you surfed around and checked up on what I am saying? Have you checked with your grocer to ask, “How many days prior to putting your fresh produce on the shelf was it picked?” Do you think it matters how much sun a plant is exposed to in relation to its level of nutrition? How much sun does your tomato get in a shipping crate? These things are about nutrition not insecticides. If these things are a given and you agree, then what about where was the plant grown? Are gold and silver found everywhere? If they are, we should all be rich. Nutritional minerals are the same. Each mineral is found where it is found. Sounds obvious but if it is obvious then why do we believe if a patch of soil will grow a simple plant that it can provide all the minerals required for a complex human.

There are three types of minerals used in supplements.

1- Metallic minerals are rock or shell based, and are 2 to 12% absorbable. The human body is not capable of processing iron in the form of rust scraped off a railroad track and in fact metallic minerals can poison humans. Rust is only an example. Percentage of absorption indicates if there is 100 mg in a product and you receive 3% absorption you know there is 100 mg present in the product but your body only absorbs 3 mg. When you read any label look at both factors.

2- Chelated minerals are when a mineral is bound with a more absorbable substance, such as an amino acid. This raises absorption in humans up to 40%. According to Dr. Wallach this process was developed in the veterinary field of medicine.

3- The safest and most effective way to get your minerals is from plants. Plants take large molecule minerals with a positive ionic charge from the soil and through photosynthesis break these molecules down into smaller sizes (7000 times smaller than a red blood cell) and give them a negative charge. Basically the plant pre-digests the minerals for us. These minerals are water-soluble, up to 98% absorbable, non-toxic and safe for the body - the way Mother Nature intended us to get our minerals! Whilst plant derived colloidal minerals are considered to be 100% safe for pregnant and nursing mothers when used as directed, it is recommended that a healthcare practitioner be consulted.

Out of the three types of minerals I believe we can agree that the most effective for us nutritionally are the plant derived minerals. Those minerals can also be in the form of fresh vegetables or eating animals that have eaten fresh vegetables or grass. We recognize and recommend everyone eat a well-balanced diet. But, as we recall from the information on the declining value of our fruits and vegetables according to the US Agriculture Department, depending wholly on food for our nutrition can be a health gamble. Based on this information it seems imperative that we supplement the food we eat in order to balance the nutrition required for our optimal health.

Tomorrow I will let you know where Dr. Wallach and Youngevity get these fantastic proprietary minerals and how they are processed to provide us such a fabulous product.

Go outside and enjoy this beautiful weather and have a great day. Wes

What is Unique About Youngevity? Plant Derived Minerals!

A product totally unique to Youngevity is Plant Derived Minerals. Many say, "What's so important about minerals? I take my vitamins and I eat my cereal with eight minerals and get 100% of my daily requirements. It says so on the box!”

Dr. Joel Wallach as a veterinary pathologist performed 17,000 autopsies on animals and 3000 on humans for comparison. In his research he determined there were 90 essential nutrients. Essential meaning, if any of those nutrients were missing over a period of time at least 10 diseases, and some many more, for each deficiency could be the result. Minerals account for 60 of those 90 essential nutrients. Every year the nutrient value of minerals in the foods we eat is decreasing. As a result it is necessary that we supplement to insure our supply of minerals is at the essential level or above.

Dr. Joel Wallach has said, "Minerals never occur in a uniform blanket across the earth and plants cannot make minerals. Farm soils are either exhausted of organic material, depleted of essential minerals or the minerals are bound up and unavailable to the plants. The plants grown in these soils do not contain the minerals the body needs. Therefore, unless you supplement with minerals, there is no guarantee that you will get all you need through the five food groups."
The last report from the USDA Nutrient Database compared data from 1975 to data from the year 2004. This comparison is very troubling. As you read these comparisons keep in mind Dr. Wallach's statement that mineral deficiency leads to disease and think about what we hear every day in the news, on TV and in magazines concerning the state of health in the United States and the world.

The World Health Organization reported in 2002, when I joined this company, that the United States was ranked 17th in the world for health and longevity. At that time there were 16 other countries with better health than the United States. Today The World Health Organization reports that we are 46th in the world. It is interesting to note that we have the best medical system in the world. It must be the best, because we spend more than the rest of the world put together. Yet there are 45 countries in better health than we are and that seems to be a growing trend. Why!

Monday I will tell you more about our Liquid Plant Derived Minerals.
