The Next big thing:
Get Noticed, and Win; Experience the Power
We all crave adventures big and small that make
our life complete: the venture of starting a family,
obtaining a degree, beginning a career, forming a
relationship, building a business, or developing an
artistic talent. These can all be exciting rides with ups
and downs and frighteningly scary moments, just like
a carnival ride. At the end of each of these adventures,
there is that reward and heightened feeling of being
alive or having done something worthwhile. During
the last 15 years, As an Advanced Integrative Medicine
Authority I had the opportunity to work with many
wonderful Integrative researchers and doctors. For
each of them, their cutting-edge research or practice
was their adventure. Some gave up a safe job to take
on the risk of a new revolutionary research, science or
practice to meet the demand and cater to an aging
population and a high number of patients suffering
from chronic diseases. Getting on that carnival ride
was the manifestation of a dream or the search for
validation that spurred them on; it was rarely about
money or simple business transactions. Revealing,
analyzing, inspiring people, treating people with
chronic ailments, selling making the Earth and
themselves healthier, harnessing the sun and wind.
Many of these ventures have survived, grown and
evolved into something great. Some simply served
their purpose and vanished.
Adventures begin and end, for the past 4 decades
I dedicated my life to finding innovations through
healing adventures for myself and for thousands
of sick individuals who relied on the revolutionary
treatments that I provided. Finally, this particular ride
landed on Cutting-edge Medical scientific discoveries
that Create a Huge Impact on Worldwide Healthcare.
One of the most remarkable breakthroughs is the takeoff
of human exosomes and peptides to regenerative
medicine. Exosomes are derived from placental and
adipose derived stem cells, then are flawlessly used to
a wide array of diagnostic and medicinal applications
enabling better diagnosis and faster healing, stem cell
differentiation and tissue regeneration.
I truly believe that health is wealth. No matter what
trials and tribulations we face each day, if we don’t
have our health, nothing else matters. Thanks to the
integrative medical professionals in our community,
we have amazing resources for our well-being. As a
health professional, you want to know the latest in
medical science, but you also want to understand how
your business can become more successful and more
productive. We understand how precious your time
is, we crafted The HealPreneur Platform and articles
will cover Spirit, Mind and Body: how the healer can
be healed. We will offer advice on how to market, sell
or fund your business. We will look at a style for you

Diplomacy:
The art of balancing Feminine and Masculine
Dr. Richard Werringloer
Life is always a balance and so is communication. To
get what you really want, you have to consider both
the feminine and the masculine within yourself and
the other people in your life.
Balancing your own interests and those of your
partner are as essential as honestly and politely
expressing your needs, while wishing to grow
personally with understanding and creativity.
By mutually doing so, you and your partner can
open up to new perspectives and go beyond
establishing cheap compromises, which often
leave both parties dissatisfied. New horizons
can open and bring new motivation. Nonviolent
communication and Positive Psychotherapy give
a clear pathway to expressing both our feminine
and masculine sides, finding the right balance
of asserting ones own needs and interests and
empathically opening the door to new solutions.
Now is the time to take interest and pursue what
we really want, and learn how to balance our
feminine and masculine within.
I am a physician, psychotherapist, coach and
international trainer of Positive Psychotherapy
who also loves working with acupuncture
and helping my patients and clients through
a holistic medical and psychotherapeutic
approach. We can see that our beautiful world
is in a feverish state with global warming,
regional and international conflicts ravaging in
many parts. People are suffering an, until now,
unknown epidemic of hypertension, burnout,
hyperactivity and other stress related diseases,
all symptoms due to the domination of the Yang/
masculine element in the world.
At the same time, we are living in a time of
awakening. Awakening of a new feminine
movement, aiming to bring a new balance to
our masculine and feminine capabilities for the
benefit of human society. In the past, feminine
qualities have been chronically neglected and all
too often disapproved of, its wonderful qualities
at most underestimated or misunderstood.
Sustainable modern day success cannot
be achieved by inflating the masculine
businessmen ideals with a “Wolf of Wall Street”
attitude. This leaves us in the long run, only lonely
and bereaved of our natural environment and
friends. True success and happiness, through
the flourishing of an individual, can only be
achieved by creatively bringing out our multiple
talents and capabilities, respecting our personal
feminine capabilities as empathy, understanding
and holistic/intuitive thinking. A sound company
as well as a healthy family and community
depends on the fulfillment of the needs of all
participants. The more you, as managers of your
life, companies and families are tuned into them,
the more successful you will be. Breathing the air
of life - the elixir of interconnectedness you can
be in touch with your proper needs and values
as well as those of others and also express them
through diplomacy, eloquence and conviction to
your own benefit and that of others.
Dr. Richard Werringloer studied medicine at the Justus Liebig University Gießen and
specialized in family medicine. He has further acquired Education in Positive Psychotherapy,
Process and Embodiment Psychotherapy, Nonviolent communication, natural medicine,
acupuncture and osteopathy which he combines in his work in the field of pain treatment and
mental health care.
For over 10 years he has been working as a psychotherapeutic coach and trainer for Positive
Psychotherapy. In 2015 he worked for WHO in Nepal training in grief and re-motivation
following the earthquakes.

“The Healing
Platform”
Whole-being Healing and how it Relates to
Patient-centred Integrative Medicine
Annie Brandt
The Healing Platform is a strategic resolution,
restoration, and repair therapy created by 17-year
cancer “Thriver” Annie Brandt. Annie discovered
through her own life’s journey that she had to address
her Whole Being in order to heal from cancer and
chronic disease.
Over a 26-year period, Annie was visited with
three death sentences (one of which was
cancer) and three other chronic diseases. She
dutifully went to her conventional physician
first. However, each time she was told that there
was nothing they could offer her in any way to
help the disease, much less anything that would
provide quality-of-life and resolution of the
disease. Each time, she had to find her own way.
In 1992, after being diagnosed with an immune
dysfunction syndrome and given her initial death
sentence, Annie was bedridden for the first six
months, sleeping from 20-22 hours per day. After
a friend gave her the book “The Yeast Syndrome”,
she discovered the benefit of Diet/Nourishment
and took her first step in healing. Then, watching
a PBS special Healing and the Mind, she utilized
some of the Mind/Body concepts and began
to make progress in overcoming the physical
limitations of the disease.
The next death sentence came up very quickly,
in 1994, shortly after she achieved regular
ambulatory status. She experienced a severe
episode of nausea, dizziness, and vomiting;
after 13 days in the hospital she was blind and
on a walker with numbness down one side of
her body. She was diagnosed with progressive/
aggressive Multiple Sclerosis and told she would
be in a wheelchair in six months and dead
within two years. She tweaked her Nourishment
key to address the MS, employed more Mind/
Body therapies, and brought God/Spirituality
into the picture. She modified her Lifestyle, and
discovered the power to Detox the body. Within
six months, her symptoms were gone.
Through a heart problem (Mitral Valve Prolapse)
in 1995 and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in 1997,
she utilized Mind/Body, Lifestyle, and Detox to
get to a healthy plateau in each case.
Her third death diagnosis came in 2001 with endstage
metastatic breast cancer. The cancer was
in the breast, lymph, brain, and lungs; she was
given three months to live. After researching the
‘standard of care’, Annie refused the conventional
recommendations of surgery, chemotherapy,
and radiation. Instead she decided to live and die
as close to the way the God made her as possible.
She resolved to use her tools to live as vibrant
and healthy a life until it was her time to go.
She set out to heal her whole being, to resolve
every “dis-ease” in her life. And the days and
months passed - and she continued to live.
She began with all of the five tools she had
developed up to then: Spirituality, Mind/Body,
Nourishment, Detox, and Lifestyle. However,
she quickly determined that she needed to find
therapies that would target the cancer and not
her body and vital body organs.
She quickly found out through her research
that many foods were anti-cancer, and she
incorporated them. In addition, she found herbs
such as Red Clover Stillingia and Sheep Sorrell
were able to target the cancer and yet were not
harmful to her.
She discovered that she needed to balance
her immune system, and so she incorporated
sessions of laughter and tears, music, loving
touch, and other tools for the immune system.
Immunity was added to the healing platform.
In 2002, one year after being told she would be
dead in three months, she was still alive; some
tumors had resolved but the cancer was still
there and active. In her online research one day,
she came across a little-known therapy: Insulin
Potentiation Therapy (IPT). IPT uses tailored
doses of insulin to stimulate the cancer cells and
suppress the healthy cells so that fractionated
doses of chemotherapy would be delivered
straight to the cancer cells. Annie thought this
sounded like a wonderful Trojan Horse method
to fool the cancer into accepting chemotherapy.
She had her first IPT treatment on Labor Day
2002 and she was in remission by March 2003.
With the addition of Immunity and Targeted
Therapies, Annie knew that her whole-being
healing platform was now complete: Spirituality;
Mind/Body; Immunity; Nourishment; Detox;
Lifestyle; and Targeted Therapies.

Annie was amazed and delighted at just how
easy and painless the cancer journey had been.
Of course, she knew that this was not the norm
for cancer patients, and so she knew that she
needed to share her story and all of her research.
She knew she wanted to give back in gratitude,
to help others. She decided to start a Nonprofit
Foundation to educate patients on the different
options, and to connect them to the physicians
that offered them.
Back in the early turn of this century, it was
difficult to find practitioners of alternative
medicine, and especially IPT. Annie spent time
tracking down IPT-trained physicians and
ascertaining their current status. She believed
that IPT could serve as a ‘bridge’ between
conventional and alternative medicine, as it was
a chemotherapy-based protocol and therefore
would make more sense and be more acceptable
to a conventionally-minded public. She knew
IPT was a place for the Foundation to start, with
educating on viable alternative therapies.
She knew that the general public was too
conventionally-minded at the time to accept
the different aspects of her healing platform as
viable options for cancer and chronic disease.
She knew that educating the public in the ‘softer
sciences’ of modalities such as Spirituality, Mind/
Body, Detox, and Lifestyle had to be, like IPT, a
sort of a Trojan Horse approach. That it would
take time and circumstances to open eyes and
hearts to these more unorthodox approaches.
In 2006, Best Answer for Cancer Foundation
(BAFC) was established as a hybrid nonprofit
organization of medical and lay persons, with
the Board of Directors consisting of three
IPT physicians and three lay people. BAFC’s
first conference was held shortly thereafter,
comprised entirely of IPT physicians. As the
years went by, Annie chose presenters for the
conferences each year that were versed in all
aspects of her healing platform. In this way,
she helped the physicians to see the scientific
validity of each of the aspects. The membership
expanded, and IPT became just another tool in
the IOIP Integrative Toolbox.
Over the same timeframe, the public began to
take a more empowered stance, questioning
the necessity of the more extreme conventional
therapies and looking for more kinder, gentler
options. This movement has finally served to
bring an awareness of whole-being healing to
the world. Since 2006, Annie has offered her
insight to patients free of charge, over the phone
and via email. For many years, patients would
say ‘I wish you would just write it down’. So she
finally did. Her book “The Healing Platform” was
published in 2016 and is available on Amazon
and Barnes and Noble.
The Answers for Cancer Summit, the annual
conference for the public, presents therapies in
each of the healing modalities of The Healing
Platform, demonstrating how patients can
achieve whole-being healing in partnership with
their physicians by using the platform as a guide.
To the lay public, it is easy to believe that
alternative medicine is bogus because there are
no survival statistics. What they do not realize is
that no pharmaceutical company would deign
to conduct studies on alternative therapies.
Another goal of Annie’s is to be able to provide
survival statistics for alternative therapies. To
this end, she has been writing clinical studies
for certain therapies, to be conducted under the
auspices of an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
The IOIP currently offers five survival outcomes
studies.
BAFC’s mission is to improve the quality of life
and treatment of cancer patients with a holistic
platform, targeted cancer therapies, and a
patient-centered approach. BAFC believes the
best standard of cancer care is one that provides
the best quality of life during treatment and the
best outlook for a long, vital life.
BAFC’s vision is a world where the patient
comes first – where cancer treatment is patientcentered
as opposed to physician-centered.
Where the whole person is considered and not
just the tumor. Where the phrase ‘first do no
harm” is taken literally and so the first step in
cancer treatment is to target just the cancer and
not the patient. The treatment should not be
worse than the disease.
The Healing Platform
Annie Brandt is the Founder and President of Best Answer for Cancer Foundation (BAFC)
and the International Organization of Integrative Cancer Physicians (IOICP). Prior to the
health care industry Annie worked as a Market Research Specialist and a Systems Engineer
for DEC before becoming an entrepreneur in the field of Indoor air/water quality consulting.
From 1997 to 2004, she was also co-owner of a “green” design/build company.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer and metastases to the lymph, brain, and lungs, she
decided to take a journey on the road less traveled and created her own healing platform of
holistic modalities that addressed the “dis-eases” in her spirit, mind, and body, then topped it
off with targeted cancer therapies.

When I was asked to write an article about what
I enjoy, the thought of writing, for me, caused
a flicker of fear. Sensing this, I paused. Then
I enjoyed a slow deep, full breath. A change
rippled through my body, this merged with my
mind, creating a sense of excitement. What do
I enjoy? I enjoy life... hmmm.. that is a big topic...
how can we simplify it down?... ‘The breath!’ The
most important constant within life.
Breath can be found in all living things. It flares
through the nostrils of a lion, flows through the
gills of a fish, floats though the leaves of a tree,
even seeping within the gills of a mushroom.
Where there is life there is breath, in all its myriad
of forms and levels. Inhaling our atmosphere,
extracting the desired molecules, performing
cellular alchemy to create energy and exhaling
its byproduct, ripe for use by another life form.
All flora, fauna and fungi breathing a beautiful
deep web of life woven through the winds of our
atmosphere.
I have a fascination and love of breath. Exploring
and sculpting it over the years as an ever available
multitool which has allowed me to change my
life. Cultivating focus and calm within my interior
realms, allowing me to slow down, to speed
up. When one has a steady, calm mind there is
room for the as yet unknown ideas to appear.
I have immense gratitude to the practices of
Yoga Asana, Pranayama and Meditation. These
timeless experiential methods of inquiry have
allowed me to bring balance into my life. Enabling
me to create a life of purpose and meaning, in
which I explore and teach movement and breath
in relation to physical and mental health. It is
breath which has held and guided me on my
path.
As humans our breath can be both conscious
and unconscious. This gifts us with an incredible
opportunity to become aware of our breath and
cultivate its use as a tool. It unlocks a powerful
key to our physiology, a barometer to our internal
mindscapes and gauge of our flowing rivers of
emotion.
Sounds great... but what does that mean?
As we inhale our heart speeds up, our nervous
system tunes up into a sympathetic response,
preparing the body for action. As we exhale our
heart slows down, tuning our nervous system
down into parasympathetic response, focusing
on the body’s systems of restoration, digestion
and repair. I have found it useful to imagine
breath as gears to our physiological vehicle.
Tuning up, tuning down and balancing out our
nervous system.
How can we harness breathing patterns and
their effects on our physiology?
With awareness and practice we can develop the
use and capacity of our breath, similar to how
we develop a muscle, allowing us to lengthen
and smooth our flow of breath. This cultivates
the ability to hold and steady our concentration,
“Fear is excitement
without the breath”
Fitz Perls,
the founder of Gestalt therapy
alongside developing neurological adaptability.
At our will creating alpha and theta brainwave
states crucial for learning, creativity and rest. An
effective ever-present tool available for focus.
How can we breathe better?
As we practice becoming familiar with our
breath we start to sharpen it as a tool and the
more we are able to invite ease and enjoyment
into all moments as we move through life. We
can integrate conscious connected breath
throughout the day with a full count of at least
four seconds on each inhale and exhale. Counting
down from the height of breath to 1 at the depth
is another layer you can add which helps the
mind settle. Aiming for 4-8 breaths a minute puts
our nervous system in the most adaptable state
ready to tune up or tune down appropriately to
our interactions and environment around us.
A curious correlation throughout nature.
The length of breath is a relation to the life span
of animal. For example a Tortoise has 2-3 breaths
a minute and is able to live up to 300 years. A
dog averages 10-35 breaths per minute living up
to 13 years. An elephant breathing at 12 breaths
a minute can live to 60-70 years. It is said the on
average a human has 12-18 breaths a minute.
What if we increased our capacity, length and
effectiveness of our breath?
How can we integrate our breath practice to
aid our work?
I invite you to explore an easy and effective
practice, a few simple, short intentional yawns.
Breathe through your nose, deep into the
abdomen expanding in all directions then filling
the rib cage out both horizontally and up. Hold at
the height of your inhale for a few seconds. Then
exhale smoothly, allowing tension to release
from the body. It is my belief that the pause at
the height of the inhale releases norepinephrine,
increasing our concentration.
Observing nature, this is what our physiology
and that of many mammals does when we wake
or are tired. The body’s inherent wisdom.
How can we listen to and aid the nature which
is our body?
Modern life can leave the mind a buzzing hive,
making sleep at night tricky. Here is an effective
and easy ratio to slow your heart rate, preparing
your body for rest. Inhale through the nose for
4. Hold for 7. Exhale with a sigh for 8. I challenge
you to do five rounds without yawning!
Ten minutes of focused breathing practice a
day is enough to nurture and integrate a more
effective, stronger and fuller breath into whatever
activity, work, focus, or sensory experience you
wish. I am passionate about people discovering
the magic of breath. If you wish to explore more
I have both guided practice videos and a deeper
explanation video of my understanding (which
are working theories) on my YouTube channel.
What if we breathed together in groups?
When we sing our hearts beat in rhythm. I believe
this is down to our synchronized breathing
patterns. Helping create a sense in our bodies of
group cohesion.
What of the electromagnetic field of the
heart?
Heart-Math has been doing some fascinating
science on this. I find it interesting to notice how
mirror neurons pick up on other members of the
tribes’ yawns. Our social engagement branch
of our nervous system. I wonder are yawns
contagious across species?
I invite you to experiment. Take note of how
your body feels. Close your eyes if you feel
comfortable. How does it feel to inhale deep into
your abdomen for 5,4,3,2,1 and exhale effortlessly
for 1,2,3,4,5.
You are in control of your breath.

Breast Cancer Treatment
Strategies: A Short Overview
Jesse A. Stoff, MD
Health may be defined as a congruent alignment of
ones’ physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual
and environmental milieu. For a cancer to occur
there has to be a serious, prolonged disruption in one
or more aspects of the individuals’ circumstances.
Genetics may predispose one to a specific type of
cancer but by only a relatively small percentage of
increased risk.
For the cancer to develop it needs a trigger, and a
series of promoters, against which the body has
a number of redundant protective mechanisms.
Ultimately, for any cancer to develop, or recur,
there has to be a significant failure of one or
more pathways within the immune system.
This is why Immunotherapy and the field of
Onco-Immunology are so prominent in the war
against cancer. But, the immune system doesn’t
exist and operate in a vacuum. For it to be fully
functional it needs, amongst other things, an
intact biochemistry. By assessing an individual’s
immune structure and function as well as their
hormone balance and biochemical markers
a personalized treatment strategy becomes
evident which, when specifically applied, gives
the best possible outcome for the quality and
quantity of life. Different treatment strategies
may be used based upon the individual’s blood
test results and the genetics of the cancer. The
common thread of these strategies is that they
are all ultimately designed to stop and reverse
the cancer. These strategies, in general, may be
used against any type of cancer but this short
article will focus more on breast cancer.
From a perspective of 10,000 feet there are
two basic characteristics of breast cancer;
genetic instability and the propensity to
metastasize. From those two basic observational
characteristics, The Hallmarks of Cancer were
derived by Dr’s Hanahan and Weinberg in 2000
as:
o Self-sufficiency in growth signals
o Insensitivity to anti-growth signals
o Evading apoptosis
o Limitless replicative potential
o Sustained angiogenesis
o Tissue invasion and metastasis.
And then added to in 2011:
o Deregulating cellular energetics
o Avoiding immune destruction
o Genome instability and mutation
o Tumor-promoting Inflammation (1,2).
As a starting point to help my patients who
are fighting breast cancer, there are a few
supplements one can use until lab tests and
cancer genetic studies are completed. Once
the tests and studies are finalized and returned,
a more specific treatment strategy can be
formulated to address the above hallmarks.
Each of these supplements has a multitude
of beneficial effects but, chief among them is
their ability to stabilize genetics, creating the
foundation of an integrative anti-cancer strategy.
During the course of oncogenesis and tumor
progression, breast cancer cells constitutively
up-regulate signaling pathways relevant to cell
proliferation as a result of any number of genetic
mutations. It’s that genetic instability that leads
to breast cancer being cancer in the first place
and it’s those mutations which account for the
multiple cell lines that compose every tumor.
Stabilizing the cancer’s genetics is thus an
important first step.
First on our list of genetic stabilizers is Vitamin
D. In addition to enhancing DNA repair,
Vitamin D also induces growth arrest and cell
death (apoptosis) of tumor cells. Cell-based
studies show that the active metabolite 1,25
dihydroxyvitamin D is the biologically active
form that works through the vitamin D receptor
to regulate gene activity. Vitamin D (D3) is
produced from 7-dehydrocholesterol when skin
is directly exposed to UVB light which, in more
northern locations is largely filtered out by the
atmosphere. Vitamin D is readily sourced from
various foods including; fish, eggs, caviar (for the
gourmets amongst us), some mushrooms, beef
liver, and cheese. Regardless of whether vitamin
D comes from the skin or the diet, vitamin D3
is transported through the blood by the Vitamin
D Binding Protein (DBP). Once delivered to
the liver, vitamin D is hydroxylated on its side
chain to form 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OH D).
This is a stable metabolite whose serum levels
are commonly used to assess vitamin D status.
As needed and if available, D3 circulates to the
kidneys which is the primary site where the
active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2 D, is produced.
Through its effect on genes it inhibits cell cycle
progression and tumor cell growth. Mechanisms
of action range from preventing cell proliferation
(cell cycle arrest) in cancer cells to inducing cell
death (apoptosis) or suppressing cell adhesion
molecules and growth factors that promote
cellular homing and metastasis. It also affords
important antioxidant protection and serves as
an immunomodulator of the immune system (3-
7).
Next comes Indole-3-carbinol and its metabolite
3,3’-diindoylmethane (DIM) which are critically
important, on several levels, when fighting
breast cancer. They target multiple aspects
of the cancer cell cycle to stabilize it and its
response to hormones. When methylation detox
pathways start to fail in the body, certain regions
of the genes will accumulate too many methyl
groups which can lead to increased mutations
and eventual cancer development. Much
research has demonstrated how DIM reduced
methylation and the risk of mutations occurring.
For example, in split population studies, mice
given TRAMP cancer cells were also given DIM.
The mice given the DIM showed a much lower
incidence of breast cancer and metastasis than
controls (8-14).
Curcumin, a component of turmeric (Curcuma
longa), is a low molecular weight molecule that
has antiproliferative activity and inhibits tumor
initiation and propagation through a variety of
pathways. It accomplishes this through several
biochemical (epigenetic) effects that result
in genetic modulation that then changes the
expression of several key proteins that can result
in the death of cancer cells.
p53 (TP53) is a tumor suppressor gene that is
responsible for protecting cells from tumorigenic
alterations. Mutational inactivation of p53 is
frequently observed in many cancers and is
the most common mutation in breast cancer.
Curcumin selectively increases p53 activity in
cancer cells which then results in cancer cell
death.
Curcumin also induces the up-regulation of
carcinogen-detoxifying enzymes which have
anti-oxidation effects, and reduce the level of
inflammation and the stimulation of cancer
stem cells. Real time animal model studies have
demonstrated that curcumin also decreased
the activity of DNA damaging genes which is
but part of the reason for curcumin’s induced
growth inhibition of cancer cells (14-16).
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a substance found in
cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli,

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage.
Experimentally, in cell cultures and animal
models, SFN was shown to be a highly effective
chemoprotective against, carcinogen-induced
and genetic animal cancer models, as well as in
transplant models of cancer. The early research
focused on the detoxification ability of SFN to
induce liver detoxifying enzymes. Later studies
showed that SFN could cause apoptotic cancer
cell death. Furthermore, it leads to the activation
of special genes including tumor suppressor
genes. The effect on cancer genetics is profound
and therapeutically beneficial (17-21).
Fish oil rounds out our list of top genetic
stabilizing supplements. One of many changes
that occur to the breast cancer cell’s biochemistry
and genetics is in the production, metabolism
and expression of MicroRNAs (miRNAs). First
discovered in the early 1990’s their importance
as a distinct class of biological regulators wasn’t
appreciated for another decade. MicroRNAs
(miRNAs) are short molecules just 21–25
nucleotides long but can have powerful effects
on gene expression. More than 2000 miRNAs
have been identified including many specific
miRNAs that have been found to be associated
with diseases states including cancer and
the risk of metastasis. The identification of
circulating miRNA specific to metastatic cancer
presents a unique opportunity for early disease
identification and for monitoring disease burden
as a circulating biomarker. Furthermore, there
is a growing body of evidences on the value of
miRNAs associated with the development of
drug-resistance, suggesting their values, once
targeted, as a potential approach to overcoming
chemo-resistance. Fish oil can modulate the
expression of the miRNAs including significantly
reducing the risk of metastasis. Additionally, fish
oil, like the other supplements described have
many other anti-cancer effects. miRNA’s that are
absorbed into our blood stream from GMO foods
are currently being studied for their oncogenic
potential as they are normally foreign to human
biology (22-27).
Once the basic genetic stabilizers are in place
we move on to more specific, integrative, breast
cancer treatment strategies which are based
upon laboratory results, the patient’s history
and our clinical experience. Integrative anticancer
strategies are based upon the basic
observation that for a patient to develop a
serious cancer multiple systemic abnormality
must be occurring simultaneously; genetically,
biochemically, immunologically and hormonally
which must be addressed from a functional
medicine point of view. An effective treatment
strategy addresses these issues while applying
pressure against the weak points of the cancer,
as determined through laboratory and genetic
testing, to buy the time necessary to reconstitute
an effective immune response that leads to a
durable remission. Assuming that the physician
has a good understanding of immunology and
biochemistry and a thorough, if not specialized,
knowledge of oncology then these strategies can
be added to their armamentarium in a matter
of days or weeks of workshops, conferences and
additional study. There are a number of anticancer
strategies that can be employed, which to
use when is a matter of objective data collection
balanced by experience. Again, in no particular
order, as anyone of them could be potentially
be the one key strategy needed for a particular
patient to go into remission but, generally,
multiple strategies are needed and are timed to
the changing conditions clinically as treatment
progresses.

ThrIVe with AWAREmed
Dalal Akoury, MD
Are You Tired of Being Sick, exhausted, overweight,
depressed? Do you want to Boost Your Brain, Defeat
Depression and Anxiety, lose weight and feel young
and sexy again? Dr. Akoury founder of AWAREmed
introduces THRIVE with AWAREmed, The Only IV Drip
Bar on the Grand Strand (Myrtle Beach).
Dr. Dalal Akoury, with 40 years experience is an
Integrative Advanced Medicine Authority, trainer
of doctors worldwide, the owner of a successful
Cancer treatment Center, she is concerned
about all the latest health craze.
All infusions are not all created equal: It is
extremely important that consumers make
sure that they are getting their IV infusions
from a reputable facility as well as checking the
usefulness of the proposed infusion for their
individual needs. It is vital that the contents of
the drip are prepared in an FDA-approved facility
to avoid any doubtful additives.
Dr. Akoury and the staff at AWAREmed strive to
make patient safety their main priority. Although
all of the nutrients are healthy, they can become
harmful if administered at the wrong dose or
concentration. The buyer needs to make sure
that the facility is operated or closely supervised
by a well trained and certified doctor in IV therapy.
The consumer needs to be conscious that these
intravenous solutions can cause immediate
reactions including: Inflammation, bruising, and
infection, especially if the drips are prepared
in unlicensed less-than-reputable facilities
operating without immediate appropriate
medical direction.
AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource
Center introduces the first and Only Medical
Doctor Operated IV Therapy Bar in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina. Dr. Dalal Akoury is the
founder of The ThrIVe with AWAREmed Center
which offers a cozy healing environment, the
IV Hydration Treatments and Vitamin Infusions
are formulated by medical doctors and tailored
specifically for each consumer’s needs.
All Infusions are mixed under strict sterile
guidelines. All IV insertions are performed by
highly skilled trained, nurses. This state-of-theart
Vitamins infusion Center services Myrtle
beach residents and the millions of Myrtle Beach
visitors, College students and snowbirds helping
them to attain Vibrant Health.
What is this craze all about and why do we do
this for our patients?
Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers
liquid substances directly into a vein. The
intravenous route of administration can be used
for injections or infusions (typically using only
the pressure supplied by gravity). Intravenous
infusions are referred to as drips. These treatments
are very fast acting and vary in length of duration
as well as suggested recommended treatment
plan from your Doctor. The intravenous route is
the fastest way to deliver medications and fluid
replacement throughout the body, because the
circulation carries them.
Why IV Vitamins, and Infusion Therapy is a
great solution to faster healing?
Eating your food is still the best way to get
nutrients into the body. However, when the
gastrointestinal tract is failing, oral ingestion
of food or supplements is not sufficient. A Sick
Gastrointestinal tract does not adequately
break down food, or vitamins and interferes
with proper absorption of necessary elements.
On the other hand supplements and nutritious
elements supplied through the IV do not have
to pass through the GI tract, therefore allowing
up to 100% absorption rate. Most people begin
feeling the results of the IV Vitamins infusion
immediately. Drip therapy enthusiasts say that
they feel energized and invigorated immediately
after therapy and that this effect lasts for days.
Drips designed to amplify nourishing effects
toward beauty, health and wellness make diet
changes and workouts more effective. This
exciting therapy has been quietly used by the
elite for years to make them look and feel better
helping them to slim faster, feel more relaxed,
live healthier and happier. Fortunately, nowadays
you can add these effective remedies to your
regimen, now you can enjoy the celebrity’s
benefits too.
What are the IV Vitamins, and Infusion Therapy
used for?
Many people can benefit from the use of IV
therapy and there are a variety of different
treatments. Individuals that are candidate for
IV therapy include: Infections diseases, Chronic
fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia,
Autoimmune Conditions, Cardiovascular Disease,
Migraines, Cancer, Athletes, Neurological
conditions, Gastrointestinal illness and many
more. Homeopathic remedies can also be
used in IV therapy to treat many conditions.
Homeopathic solutions often work as well as
conventional medicines in the treatment of pain,
viral infections, immune deficiencies, and other
conditions but with the added benefit of little or
no side effects. After an IV session some patients
may feel mild symptoms of detoxification such
as temporary headache, mild gastrointestinal
symptoms, or muscle aches, while other patients
feel very energized. In any case, IV therapy will
“jumpstart” your metabolism and cause most
patients to feel good and see excellent results
within a short time after treatment.
Common types of IV Therapies
As IV therapy has become more widely known,
there are some popular types of IV’s available.
A Myer’s IV, also known as a Myer’s cocktail, is a
special blend of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
that are combined together and administered
by a medical practitioner. The nutrient mixture
contains Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin C and
various B vitamins. The Myers’ cocktail helps to
enhance the immune system, reduce fatigue,
help with seasonal allergies, and can help with
fibromyalgia and asthma. The typical frequency
for Myers’ Cocktail is 1x per week for a month,
then 1-2x per month. You should always consult
a health care practitioner prior to beginning a
treatment program.
Multiple uses of High dose IV Vitamin C
Therapies
There are other common types of IV therapy. One
type is High dose Vitamin C. This is an antioxidant
with diverse uses in health promotion and
disease prevention. A few of IV Vitamin C mighty
powers are that it can combat the oxidative
damage caused by smoking and exposure to
tobacco smoke, it can shorten the duration of
common colds or serious respiratory conditions
like asthma and it helps prevent blood vessel
changes that can lead to strokes.
Why IV Glutathione?
You can also increase Glutathione levels with IV
therapy. Glutathione (GSH) plays a major role
in many different cellular functions. It protects
cells from oxidative damage thereby helping
to maintain cellular homeostasis. Oxidants
make their way into our bodies along multiple
pathways. GSH studies typically involve the liver,
the lungs, and viral diseases but the benefits of
18 19

Glutathione branch out beyond that. Maintaining
proper levels of Glutathione can contribute to:
• Improvements in energy, sleep, mental focus,
and recovery after exercise.
• Supporting immune defenses, liver functions,
the circulatory system, digestive health,
respiratory functions, and brain tissue health.
• Additionally, reducing the effects of
inflammation common with aging, increasing
cellular detoxification, and critical in increasing
disease protection.
High stress levels, certain medications, and a
poor diet can all deplete the body’s glutathione
reservoirs. We also make less Glutathione as we
age.

Meet the EXOSOMES, the Rising
Star in Regenerative Medicine
Dalal Akoury, MD
What Are Exosomes?
Millions of tiny bubbles, released from every
living cell are packaged with molecular mail, are
racing through your bloodstream right now. Until
recently, only a handful of researchers gave them
any thought. Most living cells release an array
of extracellular vesicles (Cells deliver microRNA
(miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), proteins, by
membrane vesicles. These membrane vesicles
are actively secreted by most cells and exist in
most body fluids, including blood, saliva, breast
milk and sperm.
Exosomes are unique and they serve as the
intercellular communication.
Before exosome discovery, it was known
that human cells transmit information
indirectly to each other. An increasing body of
knowledge supports the theory of intercellular
communication via exosomes (Exosome
Explosion). The transcribed (recorded) genes
information which are initially, released inside the
cells as an inside cell vesicle called endosomes
(are submitted to a “cell packaging service,” i.e.,
the exosomes). These intracellular exosomes are
incorporated into the cell cytoplasm. In essence,
the endosomes fuse with the cell membrane
releasing the exosomes to the extracellular
matrix.
These nanostructures known as exosomes carry
specific biomolecular information and were
mainly researched for their exquisite properties
as a biomarker source and delivery system. In
this article we will zoom into exosomes and their
role of regenerative Medicine.
In summary, exosomes are complex and delicate
systems requiring optimized isolation and
characterization adapted to each fluid type of
origin (e.g., breast milk, urine, blood).
Before we move on to the therapeutic use of
Exosomes let me reiterate what Exosomes are:
• Extracellular vesicles released via exocytosis
• Nano-sized membrane vesicles with a
diameter between 40-120 nm
• Released by all kinds of cells into extracellular
environment
• Contain cytokines, proteins, lipids, mRNAs,
miRNAs, non-coding RNAs, and ribosomal RNAs
• Bilayer membranous shell prevents
dehydration
• Appealing candidates as vectors of MSC
efficacy
• Contain no live cells
Exosomes in Health and Disease
Since their discovery 30 years ago, exosomes
have been found to play a vital role in many
biological processes, including: intercellular
communication; immune function; development
and differentiation of stem cells; neuronal
function; cell signaling; tissue regeneration;
and viral replication. Exosomes have the
ability to transfer molecular cargo and to be
selectively taken up by specific cells, thereby
reprogramming the target cell, restore and heal
and, possibly induce disease. Exosomes provide
new avenues for treatment and diagnosis.
The contents of exosomes have been shown
to change when transitioning from health to
disease, including conditions like viral infections,
neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s),
and cancer.
Key Advantages of Exosomes:
1. Can travel via systemic therapy without risk of
clumping
2. Can travel via local therapy
3. Cross the “Blood-Brain Barrier”
4. Deliver miRNA and mRNA
5. Can home
6. Not perceived as foreign
7. No first-pass lung removal as in MSCs
8. Cannot transdifferentiate into other cells or
into malignant cells
9. Easy to administer, store, freeze (Out of the
box stem cell therapy!)
10. Easily controlled dosage
11. Potency related to age of parent MSC

Over 1 billion people worldwide suffer from
neurological disorder
According to World Health Organization in
2007 up to 1 billion people, nearly one in six of
the world’s population, suffer from neurological
disorders, from Alzheimer and Parkinson
disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy
to migraine, brain injuries and neuro-infections,
with some 6.8 million dying of the maladies each
year. As the global population ages, the impact
of neurological disorders will be felt both in
developed and developing countries, reaching
a significant proportion in countries with a
growing percentage of the population of over
65 years. The disorders include diseases of the
central and peripheral nervous system, such as
brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, the autonomic
nervous system, neuromuscular junction and
muscles.
Health organizations need to deliver better
care for people with neurological disorders.
Regenerative Medicine offers the ideal solutions
for these tragic neurodegenerative disorders.
MSC, Exosomes and peptides offer promising
outcomes.
Highly prevalent CNS disorders associated
with degeneration
NSCs in Neurodegenerative Disorders
• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Amyloid-ß deposits (Extracellular)
• Tau/Neurofibrillary Tangles (Intracellular)
• Affects basal forebrain cholinergic neurons,
hippocampus, and cortex
• Huntington’s Disease
• Huntington protein
• Damages GABAergic neurons in striatum
and other cortical areas
• Parkinson’s Disease
• α-synuclein forms intracellularly in
dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain
• NSCs are also involved in
• Traumatic brain injury
• Stroke
• Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Spinal cord injury
• Epilepsy
Need for New Therapies
Animal models of chronic stress decrease
neurogenesis
• Some antidepressants seem to involve
modulation of the neurogenic niche
In Parkinson’s Disease:
• There is a reduction of proliferating cells in
SGZ and SVZ
• α-synuclein accumulation disrupts adult
neurogenesis
• Recovery is dependent on neurogenesis
• MSCs exert their effects via upregulation
of the neurogenic niche and this is
accomplished via release of extracellular
vesicles not engraftment
• Also promote angiogenesis and reduce
neuroinflammation
Induction of Neuronal Regeneration
Most neurodegenerative disease demonstrate
progressive neuronal loss.
PD – Loss of dopaminergic neurons in Substantia
Nigra
ALS – Degeneration of motor nerves in brainstem/
spinal cord
AD – Global loss of neurons in cerebral cortex
and hippocampus
HD - Degeneration of projection neurons in
dorsal striatum
Do introduced MSCs differentiate into neuronal
tissues? Unlikely!
Most likely mechanism is to encourage
endogenous neural stem cells to generate
appropriate neurons
Induction of Neuronal Regeneration
Neurotrophic Factors (NTFs) implicated in
induction of Neurogenesis
VEGF – Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
BDNF – Brain-Derived NTF
GDNF – Glial Cell-Derived NTF
FGF2 – Fibroblast Growth Factor
NT-3 – Neurotrophin-3
Key Objectives Towards Improving Outcomes
• Decrease Cell Death
• Reduce scarring and cavitation
• Regain healthy neural cells
• Stimulate functional axonal regeneration
• Remodeling of the injury niche
Although MSCs can home, minimal will engraft,
and present data supports that the efficacy
secondary to paracrine and neuroprotective
functions.
Exosomes cross the blood brain barrier.
• Can be administered IV
• Can be administered Intrathecal
Exosomes are amenable to every therapeutic
area
Mesenchymal stem cells have been at the
forefront of regenerative medicine for many
years. Exosomes, which are nanovesicles
involved in intercellular communication and the
transportation of genetic material transportation
that can be released by mesenchymal stem
cells, MAY BE THE YEARNED FOR ANSWER TO

DR GOLDMAN THE HERO
Have you ever wondered: How life would be if the
notion of healthy aging or anti-aging was not
revealed? Well, thanks to the progressive and
forward thinking of Dr Robert Goldman, now we
can celebrate healthy aging. Dr Robert Goldman
is a hero!
The list of achievements of Dr Bob is incredibly

each of these accomplishments are substantial
and cannot be underestimated. Dr Bob remains
enthusiastic, driven and active. One wonders
how he found the time? Obviously setting
higher goals, with yet even greater work ethics
shows when one look through his inventory of
achievements.
Dr Bob states: “Several years ago I was profiled
in an article in ‘Psychology Today Magazine’ and
then a book – Throw Away Your Vision Board and
a sequel Throw Away Your Vision Board Part 2.
The purpose was to help people transition from
dreaming with a vision board to doing with an
action board I’ve delineated specific ideologies
including taking responsibility and not waiting
for the universe or a law of attraction to do this
for you, focusing on your purpose – your why,
establishing principle-based goals, setting
a time-line, maintaining a positive outlook,
visualizing the future yet being mindful of the
process, pre-assessing challenges and available
resources, and taking action to make it happen”.

Dr Goldman has written over 50 books, the first
of which while he was in college. It was inspired
by one of his coaches, who was teaching him
how to lift weights. His first book Death in the

number one document to expose the drug use
in sports. When Steroids were legal; finding

needles and bottles in the locker rooms was
not unusual, nonetheless it raised concerns in
Dr Bob scientific mind about anabolic steroids
and the role they played in the death of athletes.
Dr Goldman spent hours in the library studying
them. As a Chairman of the International
Federation of Body Builders he worked with the
Federation to initiate the very first drug testing
protocol.

Dr Goldman does not only hold a physician and
surgeon medical degrees but two –MD and DO

steroid biochemistry and Health Sciences, sports
medicine.
One of the main highlights of Dr Goldman
contribution to Medicine is that he led research
into brain resuscitation, realizing that while the
heart can last for 20 – 30 minutes, the brain only
has 5 – 6 minutes before a patient will die. By
preserving the brain, patients had a far better
chance of surviving. His companies have been
very aggressive in growing technology and
therefore saving tens of thousands of lives in the
areas of organ transplant, blood preservation
technologies and emergency medicine, at one
time overseeing a patent portfolio of over 150
medical patents.

DR GOLDMAN THE ENTREPRENEUR
The 1980s saw an explosion in the fitness industry,
fitness equipment became very popular, but
there was no objective organization to review
what it did and how it worked. Dr Goldman
started a project called the High Technology
Fitness Research Institute to showcase the
positives and the negatives of the different
equipment available, to help people understand
what was good for them and where they needed
to exercise caution. With no certified personal
trainers at this time, Dr Goldman wrote the

countries. He believes that anti-aging medicine
is the next generation of sports medicine. It will
help to provide peak performance when we
get older, helping people to stay strong and fit,
by changing the way the aging process takes
place. We are living in an exciting time when
the impossible is becoming possible. For Dr
Goldman health is our most valuable asset.

Sports Hall of Fame, a non-profit foundation
established to honor the world’s greatest

of the Year, entrepreneur, and lecturer.

amazing achievements is Forever Health

network of Physicians who through Natural

healthy, and look as good as you feel again. Dr.
Dalal Akoury is one of the Integrative Natural
Physicians featured in Suzanne Somers Forever
Health Network.
The actress
The now 72-year-old Somers started acting in
the 60s landing small roles in movies including
American Graffiti. She found fame in the 1970s
sitcom, Three’s Company, where she played the
bubbly, goofy Chrissy Snow, who became viewed
as one of television’s quintessential “dumb
blondes.” Between September 1991 to June
1998, Somers starred with Patrick Duffy in Step
by Step, an American television sitcom. They
played single parents, each with three children,
who spontaneously marry during a Jamaican
vacation after developing a budding relationship
resulting in their becoming the heads of a large
blended family.
“Somers is
anything but the
dumb blond she
portrayed”
Somers received an Emmy nomination as
Outstanding Host for her weekly Lifetime
Network talk show, “The SUZANNE Show,” a
thought-provoking morning show with in-depth
information on health and wellness.
She has been married to her husband Alan
Hamel, who is also her manager, for over 50
years, meeting him on the TV show Anniversary
Game. She has one son from her first marriage
and six grandchildren.
Somers proved she is anything but the dumb
blond she portrayed in Three’s Company. With
an estimated net worth of $100 million, in
addition to her television and film success, she
has been a Las Vegas entertainer, spokeswoman
for the ThighMaster fitness product; created
her own brand of organic products and author
of 26 books, of which 14 were New York Times
bestsellers.
Cancer diagnosis
Somers is also known for her controversial
decision on non-traditional cancer treatment
when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in
2000. After undergoing lumpectomy surgery,
she had radiation treatment, but decided
against having chemotherapy and took Iscador,
a mistletoe extract, to boost her immune system.
She also chose to balance her biochemicals with

bioidentical hormones. Somers did not undergo
any reconstructive surgery and said after surgery
“sixty-five percent of my breast was gone. I had
a DD on one side, and on the other side I could
barely fill a B cup.”
In 2012 Somers heard about a procedure
called ‘lipotransfer’ which is credited to
Japanese researchers at the University of
Tokyo. Lipoinjection commonly used in breast
reconstruction or enhancement, is when fat is
injected, however, a portion of it won’t “take” —
meaning it will essentially die off. Using stem
cells alongside injected fat was theorized to be
one way to improve survival of the tissue and this
is what the Japanese researchers found. When
Somers had the procedure done in 2012, she was
one of only a few who had ever had it done in the
United States.
After her diagnosis she decided to take a deeper
look at her diet, removing all toxins from it,
eating completely organically and growing her
own organic vegetables. For Somers being able
to walk into the garden, pick her own plants for
lunch or dinner, the cook a simple nutritious
meal, is one of life’s pleasures. It was also the
basis for one of her books, Tox-Sick: From Toxic
to Not Sick.
She also addressed her sleeping patterns, going
to bed at 9.30 to 10 o’clock every night and
sleeping until 7 am. And has a scheduled fitness
routine doing yoga three times a week and
walking for half an hour every day. Her regime
has paid off with Somers looking far younger
than her age and with considerable energy and
vitality.
Dancing with the stars
It took Somers 10 years to finally say yes to
joining the celebrity cast of the Dancing with the
Stars show. She had been asked every season
since the show’s premier, but it wasn’t until 2015
that she agreed to take part. She was paired
with professional dancer Tony Dovolani for the
20th season and had never had a single dance
lesson in her life before the show. Of her world
champion dancer partner, Somers said he was
tough but fair. The celebrity contestants must
squeeze four years of dance lessons into just five
days to perform their dance each week. Along
with Dovolani, Somers performed the Jive, Cha
Cha Cha, the Samba and the Foxtrot. She was
eliminated on the “Disney Night” episode. While
dancing their Lady and the Tramp routine,
Somers’ heel got caught in her dress, but she was
keen to look at the positives she gained from the
show, claiming it was good to put herself out of
her comfort zone; that participating on the show
was a very humbling experience and she was
very glad she had done it.
Suzanne Sizzles
Somers also said that taking part in the show
had come at a good time, helping her to get
“Somers has developed beauty
and health products that are
pure and clean”
into even greater physical shape and ready for
her intimate cabaret show in Las Vegas, entitled
Suzanne Sizzles, which opened in May 2015 at the
Westgate to favorable reviews. To tie in with her
five nights a week show, she opened an organic
restaurant at Westgate, the Suzanne Somers
Organic Spa Café, serving food based on recipes
from her series of bestselling cookbooks.
Her show which featured a full band and
Somers singing songs from the “Great American
Songbook”, took audiences on a musical journey
of her life.
Talented Family
And it appears that talent runs in her family,
her three granddaughters are all gifted young
women. Camilla Somers has followed her
grandmother’s footsteps and stars as Charlotte,
an intern at a fashion house. in the long-running
CBS daytime soap The Bold and the Beautiful.
Violet Somers is not only an up and coming
photographer, she started her own business
aged 18, creating custom painted tennis shoes.
23-year old granddaughter Daisy is the lead
singer in a band whose music focus is “jazz surf
soul” and has released an EP entitled Smoke
About It.
Suzanne Organics
Showing once again her entrepreneurial skills,
Somers developed her Suzanne Somers online
shopping experience. Through her website
www.suzannesomers.com she shares the health
and beauty products she has developed and
as well as fitness products there are simple,
achievable guidelines for exercising and eating
right help you look and feel better. There is also
a jewelry range and you can purchase her 3Way
Poncho.
Somers has developed beauty and health
products that are pure and clean, made with
natural botanical extracts, enzymes, skinnurturing
anti-oxidants, organic fruits and
vegetables. Suzanne Organics are Certified
ToxicFree®. Organic ingredients are healthier,
but not all natural products are 100 per cent
organic. Toxin-free is the closest possible to a
safe product.
Suzanne Organics has a fairly extensive product
line, including makeup, skincare, body and hair
care.
As the voice and face of alternative medicine
when Somers realized chemical and toxins were
being used in her initial beauty products, she
looked into items that were free of chemicals but
still gave high-end cosmetic results. Certified
ToxicFree means more than natural or organic,
the ingredients are guaranteed completely free
from harmful chemicals and are 100 per cent
natural. They have also come from the earth, are
sustainable and safe for the environment.
Somers had been vigilant about removing toxins
from her diet, she wanted to ensure her products
follow the same principles. Suzanne Organics
provide anti-aging benefits, using ingredients
from nature, which turn back the clock without
synthetic chemicals. The products add moisture
back to aging skin, add nutrition to damaged
hair and add targeted anti-wrinkle ingredients.
This remarkable woman has proved hugely
successful in the many facets of life she has
turned her talents to. Suzanne Somers has
dedicated her life to helping others eliminate
toxins, and she’s still going strong.

Interview with
Karin Mack:
Giving Women the Power
to be Self-reliant
Tell us who is Karin Mack?
I was born in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany.
My father has a PHD in Engineering and was a
senior official and my mother, a bank clerk.
Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to help
people. My longtime dream was to become
a doctor. Unfortunately, understanding the
Latin language was not my strong suit. After I
realized that my dream of becoming a doctor
was not going to happen, I wanted to become
an entrepreneur. At the age of 21, I started my
first business. Later, I held corporate leadership
positions for years and about 10 years ago I
decided to go back and become an entrepreneur
and trainer
As a teenager, I was told I was different. I had
a strong inner intuition and an ability to read
people and their energy. Today we call this:
“sensory processing sensibility” (SPS). With this
God given gift of being a highly sensitive person
(HPS), I am able to interact differently with
people and use this ability to an advantage for
my students when I lead them to success as a
business coach.
What is your Mission and Motivation to
achieve what you have?
Mission: Giving women the power to be selfreliant
no matter their country, culture or age;
building empires through beauty and health
care.
From my experience as a former sales and
leadership trainer for large corporations, I
was searching for a system which would give
female entrepreneurs the opportunity to use
their personal knowledge and commitment to
achieve their financial dreams.
I believe women are very creative. As future
entrepreneurs we will make this world a better
place for our children and the environment. I feel
driven and motivated every day to better myself,
to get out of my comfort zone, to push the limits
and grow our business. I want to encourage and
support women entrepreneurs to the same.
My partner, Udo Klawitter, and I are venturing
ahead with our international business
development. Udo’s background was in
“I have an
ability to read
people and their
energy”
international sales and marketing for several
global corporations and running his own
consulting company. This brings the experience
needed to take our business into the global
arena. His international contacts are invaluable,
but together as a couple, we are able to open
many doors, be more effective and create great
opportunities. Running the business together is
a dream.
How did you hear about JUCHHEIM?
After seeing sensational before and after “WOW”
photos of a colleague using JUCHHEIM products,
our curiosity was heightened. Torsten Will, a
Global Success Coach and Key Note Speaker and
a trusted advisor, had committed to promoting
the JUCHHEIM product line, which also inspired
me.
In September 2016, I became an independent
partner with Dr. Juchheim. After 22 months, I
reached the highest rank possible, Presidents
Team Member. In 2018 I received the Top 10
Presidents Team Member award, I ranked top 10
out of 20,000 independent partners.
Tell us about a time when things didn’t go
the way you wanted and how you dealt with
it?
In August 2016, I was experiencing hard
financial losses as a sales and leadership trainer
entrepreneur. I lost a big sales training contract
and as a result, overnight, I had no planned
revenue. I decided to take a chance, max out
my credit card and fly to Mallorca, Spain for a

Dr. Juchheim – Method
The Dr. Juchheim Method is a synthesis between
natural active ingredients and state-of-the-art
high tech science. These components are exactly
balanced to each other and are processed in the
JUCHHEIM method. The result: visible instant
effects, combined with impressive long-term
impact. The best thing about it is that these
impacts can be achieved from home without any
extensive or professional cosmetic assistance.
“Several bits of the puzzle must come together
before something can have an embracing
impact”
This conviction is the base of the science and the
complete product range of Dr. Juchheim. During
his more than 30 years of experience the wellknown
doctor has always placed emphasis on
the connection between the actual technology
and traditional art of healing from distant
countries. So he has been using the traditional
Indian Ayurveda teachings for a long time before
it became common in the Western world. During
his extensive journeys through India, Asia and
Africa he studied the fascinating effect of foreign
medical plants and started extensive research.
Besides the work on medical and caring methods
the current situation in science and research has
always been included in development of the
products.
Dr. Jürgen Juchheim sees his work as holistic:
The active ingredients of the Effect cosmetic
which carries his name, needs to be well tuned
just like instruments in an orchestra in order to
be as effective as possible. Any slight changes in
the concentrations can lead to a different effect.
Anyone who sees the effects with their own eyes,
will understand that the distinction between
science and art is exceeded.
JUCHHEIM Effectday. I wanted to meet and
speak to the business influencer Torsten Will.
I wanted to know from Torsten, whether it was
possible for me to build a monthly commission
of 7 - 10,000 euros with the JUCHHEIM business
and if it could be done in 6 months. I also wanted
to know if he supported my mission’s idea to
empower and inspire 1000 women to success.
Torsten Will’s answer to my questions was “YES”
not once, but twice and I started the business.
Since then I have achieved both goals.
In August 2018, Udo and I, we started a big
roadshow through Switzerland and Germany
to support the local team partners in setting up
their weekly business presentations. Since then
we have been building our team worldwide.
Last year our team achieved a turnover of €2.2
million. We have fun supporting people and at
the same time improving their lives with our
amazing beauty and healthcare products.
What is the single best piece of business
advice which helped shape who you are now
and Why?
Build a system! Over the past five years, this
advice has driven me to find a business system
which is duplicatable and allows me to funnel
my 25 years of experience as a sales trainer and
business coach, and turn it into a passive income
“We will
make this
world a better
place for our
children and the
environment”

The discovery of the “3D effect”
A big advance in the cosmetic
field was the common insight
that herbal ingredients with
lipophile parts entering
deeper into the skin and
become effective there.
Based on this knowledge
Dr. Juchheim had the
brilliant idea to combine
these “sluicing factors“ with
activating and circulationenhancing
ingredients. He
was excited to put it into
practice and test this idea
in his laboratory. Could a
multiplied effect of cosmetics
really be reached through
this?
Today he implements this “3D
effect“ into the anti cellulite
cream ByeBye Cellulite®.
Even from the very first
application cellulite will be
visibly reduced. After 4 weeks
a reduction in circumference of
the thighs of up to 4 cm could be measured.
The female test persons are deeply impressed
and are happy about the beautiful and visibly
improved appearance of their skin.
Since July 2018 the Effect Food also contains
cannabis products:
CannaPur Complete Balance contains a
decarboxylated hemp extract in oil with the
natural spectrum of valuable ingredients. The
hemp used comes from legal EU-certified
Cannabis sativa L. seeds.
Apart from THC, which is virtually not present in
CannaPur Complete because of its psychoactive
effect, the phytocannabinoids of the hemp plant
work synergistically in a natural active complex.
This natural full-spectrum active complex shows
incomparable qualities and achievements.
as I build my golden goose. Now I’m able to run
my business on and offline from any place in the
world and make others successful.
Also, get out of your comfort zone, use social
media, go public and create a following. I started
with Facebook Live at a time when it was new
and unusual for women. It was very hard to be
Live and not have any idea who is watching
you. Now, because I stepped out of my comfort
zone and conquered fear thru courage, my first
Facebook followers are my strongest supporters.
I want to encourage women to be authentic.
Show who you are and where you are.
What “dream” could you fulfill thanks to
network marketing?
My dream has always been to combine our
business with worldwide travel. In 2017, I was
already on the go in all five continents, while I
continued to run my business successfully online
and offline.
What was your biggest achievement?
Our Team. We now have empowered over 1000
women. Today we run an international team
of over 1200 entrepreneurs. Men and women.
The products work for everyone. Making our
team successful means running and leading
a successful business. 90 per cent of the time
women start with the products, but once their
partners see an income increase of 3-5000 Euros,
they are keen to follow.
How do you recruit new team members?
Online via Facebook and offline at international
events and wherever we are. You feel our passion,
energy and honesty.
“I want to
encourage women
to be authentic”
What advice would you give a
new team member?
a) Become an Example of the
Product you promote.
Have
your own before and after
“Wow-Effect” photos. Because
JUCHHEIM products are
sensational, enjoy the process,
have fun and document your
results.
b) Just Do It! Don’t just plan…
Start!
c) Create a one-year clear
business plan with measurable
and realistic goals.
d) Invest in yourself; your mind,
character and personality.
e) Give yourself and your
business three years to rise to
the top.
Why should people work with
you?
Walt Disney once said, ‘If you can
dream it you can do it.” Udo and
I show this together as a team
to our partners, every day. Your
dreams do come true and you
can live as you dreamed, with fun
and ease, and most importantly,
as a couple.
What are your next goals?
To support many of the team
on their way to 5- and 6-figure
yearly incomes. In addition, of
course, to continue to build the
international business. We have
currently started our teams in
the US, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and England. There are
many more countries to follow.
The business is still a start-up,
and, has a huge potential worldwide.
Nevertheless, JUCHHEIM
is the fastest growing beauty
label in Europe ever.

Marie Diamond
You are the center of your transformation in your
Universe. You are the creator of your own personal
reality show. Just imagine that millions of viewers
would watch your daily reality TV Show as it is right
now. Would you like to show them harmony, success
and happiness or the negative experiences of your
current reality? You have the power to make the
decisions to transform your life right NOW.
I believe in “LESS IS MORE”. Start decluttering
your life. All the physical, emotional and mental
clutter you have gathered in your home, in your
body and your mind, is stopping you. The energy
cannot flow. The first thing I suggest as a Feng
Shui Master is to declutter your home by at least
10 to 25%. The more there is open space, the
better the chi (heavenly energy) flows around
you, the more positive opportunities can come
in your life.
In Diamond Feng Shui, you will first declutter
your personal four best directions. Based on your
personal birthday and gender, we calculate your
directions of success and money, health, relations
and wisdom in your home. You can go to www.
mariediamond.com and get your FREE Energy
report with your personal good directions and
the first steps to use Feng Shui in your home.
In Feng Shui, we see the Law of Attraction at
work in your environment. It is said that one
third of the results in your life are affected by
your home and office. The space around you is
acting like a three-dimensional vision board and
it influences your sub consciousness 24 hours
day and night.
In my book Transform your Life, I have found
there are 24 transformational principles you
can work on in your home and create lasting
change with it in your success and money flow,
your health and well-being, your personal and
professional relationships and your inspiration
and connection with God and the Universe.
Your home is a body and the ancient Feng Shui
masters have understood that you treat it like a
physical body. You need to take care of it. Feng
Shui is like acupuncture of your home. You
activate the energy, not with needles, but with
colors, symbols, furniture.
Another third of your good luck is connected
with your human energy: how you work with
your mind, emotions and your body. The last
third is influenced by your Destiny or Karma: the
energy of your culture, your ancestors and your
past.
You are a queen or king in your life. Make sure
you position yourself in every room you enter as
a powerful person. Make sure you see the
incoming flow. The door to the room you are in,
is where people will come in to see you. Put
your desk so that you can see the door when
you work. Watching the view thru the window
is nice, but people do not walk into your life
through windows. Never sit with your back to
the door as you are weakening your energy.

Resistance
You will see that sometimes resistance
will occur while you are decluttering or changing
your environment. Don’t see it as something
negative. It simply means that you are letting go
of something old and something better wants to
emerge in you.
Resistance is an indication that you are on the
right track, that you want to become more
successful and happier. Your ego has kept you
occupied for too long. It has kept you in fear
and imprisoned in the clusters of your own
limitations. Whenever you experience resistance
in changing something in your life or your
environment, it is an indication that when you
will change, you will experience more freedom
and happiness.
So just do it and try it out. I always suggest
making change and leaving it for nine days. Feel
into your change once the period has passed.
See if you feel better and keep the change. If you
still feel too uncomfortable, wait a few more days
or you can change again. You are free to change
your life back to how it was. Remember you are
the decision maker.
Most people feel an immediate shift, or your
family and friends will comment on it in a positive
way. If they do, you are on the right path towards
creating more Transformation in your Life.

Appearance
Matters
Lynn Janet Deckers
Imagine the scene – a much anticipated date with
your most loved one, to gift you with a very special
gift, a token of their love for you… and as you receive
the gift, you notice the wrapping is torn, tatty and
clumsily put together. How do you feel? I am sure
a sense of disappointment and deflation overcomes
you!
Now imagine exactly the same scene but the
gift is exquisitely wrapped, you almost feel guilty
undoing this work of art! Your reaction to this gift
is very different; there is great excitement and
anticipation, and it almost doesn’t matter what
is inside. And that, in a nutshell, is exactly how
the world out there perceives and judges us on
how we look and present ourselves. Within the
first seven seconds of meeting you, people have
already made their minds up about you, without
you having to say a word.
You see, not only do you get judged on your
appearance, but people pick up on how you feel
about yourself too, and that can be an absolute
game-changer. One of the quickest ways to
change the way you feel about yourself is to
make sure that you are dressed the part. Now, I
am not speaking about rushing out to buy all the
latest trends, to try and look like a supermodel.
No! I am speaking about making sure that you
have a few basics that become your “go-to”
pieces, which are able to be dressed up or down
depending on what is required.
It is a known fact that we do not see ourselves as
others see us and enlisting a professional to help
with making the most of what you have been
blessed with can be an invaluable investment.
The first rule when making an investment into
your wardrobe is always quality over quantity.
A well-cut garment in quality fabric will last for
years if it is well looked after, and it will pay for
itself over and over. Buy the best that you can
afford, and you will feel like a king or a queen.
You don’t have to be built like a beauty queen to
look good in your clothes either. Very often a little
advice from a professional will help you enhance
your assets, while diminishing your perceived
faults, as simply as lifting or lowering a hemline!
Engaging with a professional image expert will
teach you how to choose garments that are
correct for your own body shape. This takes the
shame that we all carry around, for not losing
weight, not exercising enough to look better,
and so on, out of the equation. With this shame
eliminated, a whole world of possibilities opens
up.
We have been so bombarded by the media and
brainwashed into believing that we are only
good enough if we are six feet tall, stick insects,
and that is the biggest lie fed to us. With the
correct proportions and styles, we are all able to
feel good about our appearances.
Another really interesting aspect of how you
are perceived is the colors that you choose to
wear. A professional stylist will be able to advise
on the correct colors suited to your own skin
tone and coloring, but even beyond that is the
psychology of color that can be very powerful. If
you have a special engagement, where you may
be a speaker, it would be very useful to determine
what your goal is and to use color to help you
achieve this. An example of this is that if you
wanted to be seen as an expert in your field and
a powerful force to be reckoned with, you would
not dress yourself in pastel colors. Rather, you
would choose a strong color, like red or black, that
emphasizes your own power and expertise. Even
the shoes that you wear can send out powerful
messages to your prospective clients. You would
be more approachable wearing a round-toed
shoe than a point, but the point would indicate a
strong sense of leadership and knowledge.
Then finally, and of absolute importance, is your
face. This is the first thing people see when
you meet them. We all have certain things that
we don’t like about our faces, whether that’s
undereye bags, pigmentation, or even acne
scars, every single person will have something
that they do not like, regardless if it is noticeable
to others or not! A well-trained make-up artist
will have the ability to enhance your natural
beauty and downplay the features that you don’t
necessarily like. A little bit of pampering goes a
long way to making one feel fabulous, and the
brush strokes of a professional make-up artist
can create wonders in a very short time. It is
so much easier to face the world and conquer
it when you feel amazing in your skin. There is
a little bit of healing that happens to the parts
of us that are hurting when we have the right
make-up that enhances our natural beauty, and
at the same time, builds up our self-confidence
to embrace ourselves and show up in the world.
And then last, but absolutely not least, remember
to smile because that is the most beautiful
accessory available to any of us! A great smile
coupled with your great image and natural
beauty can transform you into the gift you’ve
always been to the world!

Life can be so exciting, especially when you are about
to open your own practice, right.
To serve the people in your own way.
To communicate your message to those who need it.
To live the life of your dreams.
The excitement is immeasurable, the new ideas
keep on popping up in your head. You are so
ready!
But now, how do you get your message out
there? How do you make sure you stand out?
How do you make people find you? And how do
you make them like you?
It is all about how you make them feel. It is the
customer experience you create. Period.
From the moment they see your ad to the
moment they enter through the door, to the
moment they leave your practice, everything
matters: your practice’s name, your tagline, your
furniture, your receptionist, your receptionist’s
voice on the phone, your online activities,
the colors your use to decorate your practice.
Everything. Because everything has it’s own
“voice”, it’s way to make us feel certain way.
Think for example of the color scheme you will
use. Let’s take the color pink, soft pink. How
does it make you feel? Psychologists believe
that it helps tranquilize anger and calm the
nerves. Switzerland applied that in their prisons
by painting jail cells in pink to avoid aggression.
Besides, that soft pink is sweet, soft, inviting,
gentle, no harm in it at all.
Think of how leather furniture makes you think. It
may be very practical, but is it what your patients
“need”? And if yes, what color would be the best
for you?
Think of how positioning your desk may affect
them. Is it the experience you want to give them?
They need your expertise, yes, however, what
makes you stand out is the overall customer
experience you create.
Let’s have a game plan how to make this happen.
Let’s create a brand for your practice. A unique,
magnetic brand. Just as you are.
And lastly, congratulations on taking this step
and thank you for the difference you are going
to make in the lives of many with your beautiful

SYSTEMS:
Or How to Increase your Business Results
and your Employees’ Performance
Marco Robert
Systemizing your business is a very important topic if
you are looking for your business to be a success. In
the 1990s I drew a parallel between the statistically
higher level of success amongst franchises than with
independent businesses. It made sense, franchises
have systems for everything. For hiring people,
training employees, for accounting, for bookkeeping,
for operations, for how to deal with customers and
even for generating more revenues and retaining
clients. No wonder they succeed at a much higher
rate.
For the past 17 years, I have consulted with
hundreds of businesses worldwide and proved
my theory further – systems are the source of all
business successes. So, how does it work?
Be the BOSS
The process of systematization, as formulated
under my Business Optimizing Strategic
Systems framework (BOSS), starts by looking
at your business from a different angle. It starts
by understanding that your business, is actually
four businesses, or four segments.
The segments of BOSS
• The first segment is Team. Everything regarding
your staff, the process of hiring them, training
them, and rewarding them, it all needs to be
systemized. From drafting the organizational
chart of your business, to developing trainings
and delivering them, every step needs to be
standardized and processized.
• The second segment is your Operations. All
the production, distribution, and administrative
activities of your business must be organized in
systems. You must have standard procedures,
metrics, checklists, flow charts and all the other
tools needed to ensure your business is making
money efficiently.
• The third segment is your Customers. Everything
you do to take care of your clients must be
clearly defined and documented. You must have
systems in place to supply them, reward them,
capture their opinions, ensure they continue to
like your offerings and entice them to want to
refer their friends to your business.
• The fourth and last segment is for Sales and
Marketing. The way you attract customers must
be systematized. Your brand must be consistent.
You must understand your market niche. You
must have a pricing strategy. In the end, all
your marketing strategies and tactics must be
consistent and congruent with one another.
So how do you systemize each segment? You
think!
Your number one job as a business owner is to
think. We live in a world where people don’t do
much thinking anymore. We want to solve a
mathematic equation, we use a calculator. We
want to know how to reach our destination, we
use a GPS navigation system, we want to know
how to make a birthday cake, we Google it, or we
want to know who was the 40th President of the
United States, we simply ask Siri. Life is now full
of conveniences; all of which make us think less
and less.
If you want your business to thrive you will have
to do some thinking.
If you don’t do the thinking it will never get done
and your employees will certainly not do it for
you. Most business owners have difficulty
“The process of
systematization
starts by looking at
your business from a
different angle.”
52 53

Integrative Medical Business
Integrative Medical Business
understanding that in the employment contract
that links them to their staff, the employees
never agreed to do any thinking. What you get
from your employees is their limbs, not their
brains. Unless you run Bank of America or some
other multi-billion-dollar corporation and you
can afford to hire brains.
A Thinking Model
So, if you’re going to have to do the thinking, let
me give you a model to do so effectively. It’s a
simple four-step process:
1. Eliminate. Think about what doesn’t work,
or hasn’t worked: people, processes, markets,
methods, etc. Now get rid of them. You see
before you can bring new processes you have to
get rid of old processes that don’t work, reduce
confusion and clear out the clutter. I.e.: Your office
is a mess? Clean it up. That employee has been
dragging his feet? Give him a final warning, or
let him go. You owe someone money, call them
and make arrangements. Get rid of what has
been bearing down on you.
The main idea is to clear out the distractions, try
out new ways of doing things, eliminate what
doesn’t work and keep what works. The process
of elimination is effectively a process of iteration.
2. Automate. Whatever is left after your
elimination should be automated. Write policies,
job descriptions, methods, and processes, etc.
That’s effectively the process of systematization.
3. Delegate. Once things are better systemized
and organized, start delegating them one activity
at a time. Don’t overwhelm your employees,
teach them one thing at a time. When they
know it well; when they have developed the
habit of doing it consistently, then, and only then,
delegate them another task, process or activity.
4. Replicate. As you delegate you will start to see
leaders and high performers emerge from your
troops. Keep an eye on those. And after you’ve
delegated them several activities, delegate them
an entire function. What I mean by that is let
them do someone else’s job for a day or a week
while you monitor their performance. I call that
process replicating.
Now you have it. Four segments. And a model for
thinking. With this you’re better equipped than
99% of your competitors. Mix that with a good
dose of thinking and you can fix any business.
The sequence of BOSS
Here’s another way I like to explain how to
systemize. Think of your business as a sequence
of events. Figure out where your business
currently is in the sequence and address the
issues it’s facing.
• Master : At the basis of the BOSS sequence is the
idea of mastery. This simply means that before
an average person is fit to build a successful
business they must commit to mastering their
Mindset, their Stamina, know their Self (strengths
and weaknesses) and know Others (understand
what makes human beings tick).
• Divide : The second step in the sequence is to
separate the business from the competition by
adding more value to the marketplace.
• Conquer : The third step is to generate revenues
and gain momentum in your market.
• Rule : The last step is to put all the systems
in place that allow your business maximize its
position, optimize its gains and dominate its
industry.
With this information about my BOSS model
there’s no reason you can’t succeed massively,
build a strong business and someday sell it for
millions of dollars and retire on a tropical island.
“Your number one job
as a business owner is
to think”
Marco Robert is an international business authority. His BOSS methodology is now
implemented in one form or another in thousands of family-run businesses in America,
Canada, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa. Each year it serves as the foundation for the
creation of hundreds of millions of dollars in value all over the world. Because of BOSS,
companies employ more people, retain their employees longer and make the world a little
better place for all to enjoy.

Every day we hear of someone; a colleague, a friend,
an acquaintance or most importantly a loved one
whose health took a turn for the worst! But we

if it did?
It is heart breaking to see my clients get illnesses
such as cancer, heart attack, stroke or pass on!

1) BUDGET AND CASH FLOW
2) NET WORTH STATEMENT
3) RISK MANAGEMENT
4) TAX AND INVESTMENT PLANNING
5) RETIREMENT PLANNING
6) WILLS AND ESTATE
Today we will discuss Risk Management. What
happens if due to illness, injury, accident or
disability you are unable to work or only able to
do part of your duties at work. Do you have assets
to cover your expenses if income is not coming
in? And if you do not have substantial savings
where is the money going to come from? Even if
you have income, how long will your assets cover
your expenses, or do you want to exhaust your
savings and investments?
These are questions you must ask yourself?
Another question is: do you have group coverage
through your employer, or if you are selfemployed
do you have coverage at all?
There are certain government programs and
possibly employment benefits if you have them.
All aspects of the programs available to you,
your income, your assets and your life style must
be considered in order to make an informed
decision!
Let’s start with some of the coverages that
may be available to you if you like to have your
personal insurance policies.
CRITICAL ILLNESS Insurance (CI) – This type of
insurance pays out a lump sum tax free money
in case of a critical illness. There is a Basic policy
which covers Cancer, Heart attack and Stroke
and there is an Enhanced one which covers
the basic plus around twenty illnesses such as
Alzheimer’s, loss of limbs, loss of speech, kidney
disease, aortic surgery, benign brain tumor,
blindness, coma, coronary artery bypass surgery,
deafness, major organ transplant, multiple
sclerosis, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease, severe
burns, etc. Please note each insurance company
has its own list of illnesses and definitions of
each illness to qualify.
For Critical Illness insurance there are different
terms of coverage; 10-year term, 20-year term,
term to age 65, term to age 75 or term to age
100. For example, if you take a 10-year term
that means if you get critically ill (based on the
definitions and the illnesses of the insurance
company where you have your policy with) the
insurance company will pay you the coverage
amount that you have purchased, say $100,000.
If during that 10-year term you became ill
according to the illnesses and definitions of
those illnesses, then you will get $100,000 from
the insurance company. Generally, the claim
is paid within 30 days of diagnosis. However, if
you were fine and did not need to make a claim,
nothing will be paid out and your insurance
policy would mature. Depending on your age
you might want to consider a policy to age 65
or to age 75, which means you will be covered
until that time. One rider that most insurance
companies offer for certain term policies is
Return of Premiums. For example if you have an
“Do you have assets to
cover your expenses?”
Enhanced Critical Illness insurance policy to age
75 with Return of Premium (ROP) and you never
had to claim, you will get all of the premiums
that you have paid over time back in one lump
sum payment, provided you did not miss any
payments or the insurance policy did not lapse.
There are limits as to how much coverage you
can purchase as there are a minimum and a
maximum limit depending on the insurance
company. In addition, there is also an age limit.
STORY – Recently a client of mine who is in her
50’s was diagnosed with cancer. I was troubled
hearing about it as she was planning to retire in
a couple of years. We had put a Critical Illness
insurance policy in place for her a few years ago
despite the fact that she had some disability
insurance at work and had accumulated
substantial amount of money. She did make a
claim to the insurance company and cashed
in the total amount of coverage tax free while
she collected disability insurance from her
employer. She is still going through treatment
and I wish her well!
LONG TERM CARE Insurance (LTC) – This type
of insurance is typically better for ages 55 and
over, although it may be purchased earlier.
Long Term Care insurance policy provides
coverage if you cannot perform any of the two
of the following activities by yourself; Bathing,
Eating, Dressing, Continence, Toileting and
Transferring (moving). Depending on the
insurance company you may purchase a set
amount to be paid out on a weekly or monthly
basis if you have a claim. For example, you may
want to receive $250 a week or $3,000 a month
if you are on claim. Another determining factor
is the duration of payout – you can choose to
be paid your weekly desired amount while on
claim for a period of say five years or 250 weeks
or unlimited amount of time, which means
as long as you qualify. You can also choose a
waiting period to receive your claim such as 90
days, 180 days or one year. This means once
your claim is approved the insurance payment
will start based on your pre-determined
time. You can add riders such as cost of living
increase (inflation) or limited pay where you
only pay for a specified period of time, but your
coverage continues for life. Please note you do
not have to be employed to apply for this kind
of insurance policy.

The Importance of a Positive
Work Environment
Josée Larocque-Patton
Most people spend a large portion of their lives
working. For example: Let’s say you start working
at the age of 18 and retire at the age of 65; this is
47 years of your life. Forty-seven years turns into
2,444 weeks or 97,760 hours of your life calculated
by a 40-hour work week. Currently the average life
span is around 85 therefore for the purpose of this
exercise we will not count the ages of 0-18 years as
this is when you are in school, learning and usually
still living at home. This leaves 20 years of your life,
to enjoy a good retirement. This also means that
you do indeed spend more than half your life-span
working. This is most likely not new knowledge to
anyone as we hear this all the time yet have you
really sat down calculated and/or reflected on what
this means for you?
Whether you are an employee, or you are
working for yourself as an entrepreneur for
forty-seven years each and every day you
consciously have one of two choices to make:

You are your brand. You’re a walking, talking
advertisement for yourself (it’s kind of like being a
business card on 2 legs!). Like it or not, what’s on the
outside DOES make an impression. Whether you are
working on branding yourself as a coach, speaker,
business owner, real estate investor, etc, if you want
people to believe in you and your brand, then the
outside has to match the inside.
Here’s the good news: You totally have the ability
to change people’s perception based on what
you wear and how you present yourself.
My name is Alexandra Stark, Personal Brand
Strategist, international speaker and founder
of *Branded by Results* based in Düsseldorf,
Germany. I consider myself an agent of change
who gives individuals and business professionals
techniques and strategies for taking charge of
their appearance. I empower my customers to
significantly enhance their brand so that they
are able to boost their power, productivity, and
profits.
While spending many years observing people’s
career paths, I have witnessed how important
the role of a professional image is in setting a
person apart from the competition. I’ve learned
it’s better to craft the way others are going to
perceive you, rather than to sit back and hope
it’s going to happen on its own.
I have also learned over the years that the way
we choose to present ourselves affects the way
we THINK, the way we FEEL, the way we ACT,
and only then the others REACT.
Fact is: If you are not conscious about what you
are communicating nonverbally through your
appearance, you will fail to sell yourself and
therefore miss opportunities and lose money. No
style? No biz!
My friend Philipp recently told me a story about
the time years ago when he was selected by
his university professor to attend a business
event with very important people. He ended up
meeting his future boss at this event. It turns out
his professor had been tasked with sending one
of his best students to the event. And while the
professor had five students with equal ambition
and skillset, Philipp stood out because of his
manners and his way of dressing. His appearance
gave him the advantage over the others to attend
this event, make an impression on the CEO of a
huge company, and land his dream job. Philipp
is just one example of the doors that can open
if you take advantage of creating a powerful
presence that impresses.
When I work on a personal image transformation
with my clients, I help them identify what they
want to be known for. I lead them through a
step-by-step transformation that usually starts
with a full makeover. Why start here? Because
it’s the easiest and most powerful way to send
a message to the world - through your visual
appearance.
Part of my work includes working on the inner
game of mindset and motivation because in the
long term it´s your mindset and your confidence
level that gets you to crush it in your life and
business.
As part of my work, I’m interviewing successful
entrepreneurs and celebrities about image,
branding, and business success. Randi
Zuckerberg, marketing and branding genius
of Facebook, serial entrepreneur and owner
of Zuckerberg Media, for example, told me:
“I empower my
customers to
significantly enhance
their brand”

“You must focus on selling the best version of
yourself” and “How you present yourself is really
important”. She also said, “We are all in sales,
all the time, whether you think you are or not.
Any time that you are pitching for a partnership,
for investment, trying to recruit great people to
work with you, you’re selling.”
Randi confirmed what I am teaching my clients
– that nothing contributes to success faster than
self-presentation! Therefore, it should be your
top priority.
If you are still not sure what you’re selling? It’s
yourself. And you don’t have to be Oprah to
think of yourself in this way. The most successful
entrepreneurs and business owners do create
and, in fact, become brands. Their brands are
based on the experience they promise and the
values they live by and share. What are the values
that YOU live by and that YOU want the world to
see?
It is also crucial to differentiate yourself to
stand out from the crowd. Be remarkable and
extraordinary to grab attention and get noticed.
Tip #1: Have A Signature Style
We all know that we need a USP – Unique
Selling Proposition - in business. When it comes
to appearance and image, you need a “Unique
Styling Proposition”, a.k.a. a signature style that
is YOUnique.
Signatures don’t work for everyone, so don’t
feel limited. Celebrities often have a signature
style, only to change it again and again for the
next movie role or album release. A signature is
memorable and can be almost anything — for
example, a red lip, unique hats, patterned scarves
or ties, high heels, vintage jewelry. Whatever you
choose, DO think it through and what it will say
about you.
Tip #2: Use Color to Convey a Message
Color can be quite powerful when it comes to
how you’re perceived. Too much color can be
overwhelming while the wrong color won’t
support you. Colors also convey emotions. Bright
colors and big prints work for a brand that’s
cheerful, while black and white suit a more chic,
upscale style and blue comes across as serene
and intuitive. Take a look at logos and colors,
you’ll see that similar businesses use the same
colors. That’s not an accident as color speaks
loudly.
Tip#3: Be True to You
Last but not least, it’s all about authenticity. It’s
about taking the great things about you – your
personality, values, brand message and your
whole true self – and expressing them through
your appearance. The brand is you, so own it!
It´s never too late to become who you want
to be if you are willing to put in the work. So, I
encourage you to see your appearance as a very
powerful Business Tool to achieve your goals and
to magnetically attract more of what you want in
life and business. Be bold and dare to be the best
dressed person in the room. It will pay off!

I Don’t Care
and You Should
Myron Allis
For the past ten years I have worked day in and day
out with business owners and what they all have in
common is that most of them have zero business
experience, but they have an amazing product or
service.
Then they go and start telling EVERYONE exactly
what this magical product is that they created,
why they created it, what it took to create it, and
at the end of the day they have few if any sales.
What’s worse is that they have no idea why they
don’t have any sales. They’ve spent thousands,
sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars,
on website, logo design, product development,
overheads, employees, product design, and on
top of it they are not even paying themselves.
Top that with a market which is already overcrowded
and your product and business is
drowned out by your competitors.
What you don’t realize is that your clients do not
care. They do not care what you’ve had to go
through to create the product. They do not care
what you’ve done to design the product. They
do not care what your logo is, your overheads,
your employees, or that you are not making a
profit. They do not care. Now what’s worse, in
my opinion, is that they don’t even tell you. They
simply don’t purchase. At least with feedback you
can make adjustments and changes to better
serve your clients so that they are getting exactly
what they want. In a saturated market it is even
worse because they can’t even see your business
through all the noise of your competitors in
order to tell you what changes you need to make
to better serve them.
Now I know that I am not telling you anything
new here. In fact, if you are one of the 20 percent of
new business that fail in the first year, according
to the Small Business Association, then you have
already felt this, personally. The old adage stands
the test of time for a reason, “This isn’t personal,
it’s business!” There’s a reason why this came
about. Everything that you’ve done to bring your
product to market has taken a personal toll on
you. That’s why your message is all about you and
what your product does. More so what it shows
is that you don’t have a strategic marketing plan
in place that is designed to get sales and not
educate the general public about your product.
Your average local independent hospital will
spend an average of $1.3 million dollars per year
on marketing, and conglomerates will spend
$5.8 million dollars per year, according to the
New York Times. This is a huge sum of money
to be spending on a local population and what’s
more important is that more than 50% of their
budget is spent on branding. This means that
they are not even trying to sell you a service
or product. They are only trying to get you to
associate their name as being the place to go for
all your medical needs.
So, between your customers telling you that
they don’t care by not purchasing your product,
the 800 pound gorilla in the room spending
$5.8 million dollars on branding, and the vast
amounts of funds and resources used starting up
your business is why so many business owners
go out of business in the first few years.
Are you ready for the good news? It doesn’t have
to be like that. You don’t have to fail in the first
year of business and in fact because you don’t
have the same constraints as the big businesses
you can be more effective with your marketing.
The difference is that you have to have a strategic
marketing plan that is designed to get sales, not
designed to market your brand.
“This isn’t
personal, it’s
business!”

While there are many elements to a successfully
marketing campaign. You can use anything from
direct mail to social media marketing. Each has
its own benefits and drawbacks. What’s more
important is your message.
Your message has to be designed to accomplish
several different things all at once. First and
foremost, you want to highlight the pain point
that your product or service solves. You want
to keep turning up the pain until they can’t
stand it and then, only then, show them that
the only way to have their problem solved is if
they purchase your product or service. Then you
want to overcome any objections to purchasing
your product. Last but not least you sell features
not benefits. The sad truth of the matter is that
happiness doesn’t sell. Health doesn’t sell. What
they can do with that health and happiness does
sell though and that’s what we want to highlight
and amplify in their mind.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. With the
right business coach and marketing campaign
you can effectively get to the other end and
come out shinning. How you get down that
tunnel is all going to depend on your message
and it can’t be about you because at the end of
the day, I don’t care and you should.
You can’t just be great - you need
to be AWESOME!
How does a health and wellness
coach help?
“Last but not least you sell
features not benefits”

Integrative Functional Medicine is transforming
healthcare and the demand for Integrative Physicians
is exploding. Most physicians don’t have the time or
the skills to partner with patients and that is where
Health Coaches come in.
Trained health and wellness coaches can engage and
motivate patients in behavior and lifestyle changes
that can improve their overall health and reduce the
amount of medical care they need. They help patients
develop healthy mindset, perceptions and habits.
Partnering with a health coach can not only increase
patient satisfaction and engagement but also reduce
physician stress and burnout by freeing up time.
A credible Health Coach will be certified from a
reputable and accredited health coaching program
and obtain a coach certification with the IFC or ICHWC.
I am certified by IIN, and ICHWC. Nonetheless all this
knowledge would be useless without the training
and applied experience I received at AWAREmed,
SC. Under the supervision and direction of Dr. Dalal
Akoury, MD, I was able to develop much needed skills.
I am Presently collaborating with Dr. Dalal Akoury,
MD finalizing and launching the Ultimate Health and
Wellness Peak Performance Coaching Program for
Executives at I-am-I institute.
For more information about how to choose the right
health coach or if you are looking for an experienced
health coach to work with your patients via Skype or
phone, please email: patricia@coppolanutrition.com
