PRELIMINARY REPORT (additional test results to follow)
Transfer Factor Testing

Background and rationale: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US. The rate of nearly every type of cancer is on the rise. Despite billions of dollars in research, the mortality rate has remained virtually unchanged since the 1960’s using conventional treatments such as radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. Thus, there is considerable interest in using immune modulation as an adjuvant for cancer therapy. Natural killer cells are particularly important in destroying cancer cells.

Purpose of study: To determine the in vitro anti-cancer effects of Transfer FactorÔ and Transfer Factor PlusÔ using PBMC isolated from human volunteers and assaying the increased ability of the NK cell population to kill K562 erythroleukemic cells.

Methods: 1) PBMC killing of K562 (erythroleukemic) cells

Results: 2) Transfer Factor increased NK-cell killing by 103% and Transfer Factor PlusÔ by 248%

Conclusions: Transfer FactorÔ and Transfer Factor PlusÔ induced immune-based lysis of K562 cells at a level unprecedented in the director’s experience or in the known medical literature. Since NK cell function is so crucial in killing cancer cells, these products are ideal candidates for cancer adjuvant therapy. In addition, NK cells form a first line of defense against infections from viruses and certain other microorganisms. Killing assays against K562 cells have also been correlated with increased activity against chronic and acute infections as well.

My point is I have been around. I have never met anyone with the insight that Mike has in life, especially in this industry.” Dick Helgeland, Seattle, Washington. Overall content has remained the same since 1997. 3 My name is Mike Akins. I have been successfully involved in the network marketing industry since 1967. This is a third edition to a booklet I wrote in 1997. The basic content has remained the same. In this booklet I am going to expose facts that only individuals who are in the inner cycle of leaders and company owners are aware of. I will share information with you that could give you the edge in this industry. The information in this booklet is based on my three decades of experience and from a 1/2 million dollars study of the network marketing industry. As far I know this is the most extensive study of the industry ever conducted. This information is a courtesy, from me to you. I will not even share with you what program I am promoting in my personal business. The purpose of this synopsis is to enlighten the “grassroots” distributors in this industry of the hidden dynamics that are affecting their success. This is my tribute to the industry for the blessing it has been to my life and the lives of my loved ones for more than three decades. I have become wealthy through this industry. I am an insider in this industry. I have participated in Advisory Board meetings, listened to the thoughts of founders and leaders in this industry. You may be shocked by an insider’s perspective of the truth behind the propaganda promoted by some MLM companies and network marketing leaders. This is a wonderful industry but you must learn to navigate around its pitfalls. Many grassroots distributors and even leaders are being used by some of the heavy hitters and companies in this industry. Often heavy hitters and corporate management are actual blind to what they are doing. It is time for a change. I have thousands of distributors that have been with me for years. Some of these individuals have been associated with me for more than 30 years. I have one of the lowest attrition rates in the history of network marketing. I want you to know what I have discovered. If something has been tried in Network Marketing, I have tried it. I’ve learned a lot the hard way. I grew up in poverty, was an insecure introvert, and stuttered profusely at the age of 19. I entered this industry at the age of 19. For eight years I worked night and day, trying every technique possible, scratching my way to the top. Some of what I found at the top I didn’t like. Although I had reached the top of the industry, in my heart I was still the “grassroots” distributor. What I have learned about this industry has allowed me to build organizations totaling more than 150,000 distributors (as of the revision date). My intentions are not to edify myself in this expository. I want to establish my credibility so that you know that you can depend on what I share with you. In June, 2001a editorial in Money Maker’s Money referred to me as the “greatest networker in the world.” What is more important to me was an article in May 1998, the trade magazine Money N’ Profits said, “Mike Akins is a professional networkers with a true heart for the members of his organization.” This is the reason I am writing this synopsis. I have more “grassroots” distributors achieving success than any other leader in this industry (that I know of). You can know how to avoid stumbling 4 stones and have the wisdom to achieve your full potential in this industry. Hundreds of testimonies are already flowing into our offices proclaiming how the information in this synopsis has revolutionized their approach to Network Marketing! I will give you a little background. At the age of 41, I was able to retire and live on the residual income that I had developed throughout my career. During this period of time, my staff serviced my downline members. For seven years I was able to devote my life to humanitarian causes and to things of great value to me. I was touched by the tremendous suffering that a vast number of people are experiencing in our great country. I found that I needed more income to touch more lives. I decided to reenter the industry at the age of 48 with the goal of increasing my income to ten million dollars per year. I live on approximately 5% of my income. The rest is invested in supporting my downline organizations and used in humanitarian causes. I do not intend to edify myself. I only desire to give you a clear picture of why I am sharing this information with you. In reentering the industry, I desired to develop one more organization in a program that was relevant to the current market dynamics. The programs that I had existing downlines in, did not mature with the evolving paradigm within the industry. I realized that I could not accomplish my goals in these programs. I had no desire to disrupt my existing organizations. My fulltime staff, to this very day, provides support to every distributor in all of my downlines that requests it. My passion was to develop one more organization that would be lighthouse to this industry. In order to make the best possible selection, I decided to finance the most extensive study of the network marketing industry ever conducted. I am a partner in a research and marketing firm, Research & Marketing Consultants. I have another company, ABM Investments. I authorized these companies to conduct a study of 40 years of network marketing history. In this study, more than 300 current programs were examined. (since the initial study more than 1,000 programs have been examined). Market trends, marketing techniques, commissions structures, product philosophies, leadership migration, reasons for company failures, attrition, and many other factors were carefully analyzed. These research firms leased genealogies containing the statistics on two million marketers. They were able to study their sponsoring and buying patterns. The results of this study confirmed much of what I have suspected. We discovered through this study that many of the ideologies that have been promoted in this industry were wrong. I am sure you have heard these perspectives before. One such cliche was that the average networker only sponsors two people. 5 We found that the average distributor that sponsors anyone actually sponsors more than two people. The idea of “only two” was actually created approximately 1112 years ago by the binary crowd. You probably have heard that your chances of success are greater in companies that have been around 5 or even 10 years. Our study found that more people have failed in companies that have been around more than 10 years than in all the programs that have gone out of business. From this study, I selected six programs that fit the criteria derived from the study. In the following synopsis, I will share an overview of this threeyear study, and my observations developed during my threedecade plus career. This synopsis is generic and does not promote a particular program, because the need to get the truth out far exceeds my personal financial ambitions. I believe the industry is in trouble. We need to clean house from within. This is my part of that process. The information from this study can make the difference between success and failure for a majority of people. Throughout my career, I have been frustrated at the percentage of people that have worked their hearts out, without achieving a decent degree of financial success. At first, leaders like myself blamed the lack of results on the lack of personal effort of the parttime networker. Sometimes we blamed it on the product line. When companies failed, we would blame it on the owner’s mismanagement or lack of ethics. We blamed the type of product or service we offered. Little did we know that the majority of company failures and the individual marketer’s failures were many times connected. There were and are certain dynamics at work in the overall Network Marketing industry, structured into the majority of programs that have created this negative market scenario, guaranteeing failure for millions of innocent marketers while linning the pockets of an elite few and earning big profits for the company It is vital for you to understand these factors so that you can avoid these pitfalls. The Network Marketing industry developed, and presently maintains, an attrition problem that is not being addressed in an effective manner. The attrition challenge has prevented thousands of networkers from developing the residual income they deserve. There are specific reasons for this problem. In response to this fundamental problem, certain trends developed that only confused and worsened the challenge. As the years have come and gone, a clearer picture has formed of the realities involved. It is time to address these fundamental problems. Never before has the economic “climate” been so “ripe” for the Network Marketing industry. Due to corporate mergers and a competitive investment environment, downsizing has become commonplace. Replacing more costly, older wage earners with less costly, younger wage earners is a frequent practice. Many of the elderly face a “Social Security Crisis.” In general, avenues that were available to the American public in the past are no longer open. The average family has less personal time and money to pursue their dreams in life. WILL WORK FOR FOOD 6 In concept, Network Marketing is one of the few avenues, within reach of average American wage earners, that can radically change their financial picture. In spite of the attraction of the Network Marketing industry, there are serious obstacles that must be overcome before the benefits of Network Marketing are made more available to the majority of networkers. A survey conducted by “Money Makers Monthly” estimates that there are 11 million people in the USA involved in the Network Marketing industry, with an additional 50,000 joining weekly. Individuals from all walks of life are entering the Network Marketing arena. Verifiable testimonies of truck drivers, waitresses, and grandmothers in their 60’s, alongside medical doctors, business owners, and lawyers, who earn $10,000250,000 per month, generate hope and excitement in thousands of frustrated Americans. Network Marketing has gained a certain degree of legitimacy in our society. Hundreds of professionals, from all walks of life, have entered the Network Marketing arena. Many of them have done very well in the business. Renowned magazines, such as “Success Magazine,” have added to this credibility. Unfortunately, this credibility and success have not been financially beneficial to the majority of networkers. Our study revealed that, for a tenyear period, the number of people working in Network Marketing stayed fairly constant at around six million networkers. Approximately the same number of networkers dropped out, as joined the industry. For an industry with the power of geometric growth at the very foundation of its existence, these are disturbing facts. If, in ten years, the Network Marketing industry would have averaged just one new enrollee per member, the industry would have doubled. Network Marketing is a powerful tool through which to enhance lifestyle, but this opportunity, by design, has been outside the reach of the majority of networkers! It doesn’t have to be! The high rate of attrition reflects certain challenges that networkers encounter, such as companies going out of business, owners changing the program midstream, wrong marketing philosophies, illusionary products, systems that sizzle then fizzle, flawed marketing strategies and legal problems. In legitimate programs we discovered that the number one reason for failure at the grassroots level was the lack of training and support. There is plenty of motivational training but a lack of practical training. There is also a lack of support because very few “players” in the industry are willing to reinvest into their downlines. Greed and ignorance are key issues here. In the past few years there have been shifts in marketing paradigms. There are more programs that are designed for the majority of marketers. I am, along with a few other leaders, setting a standard that we believe is slowly effecting the paradigm in this industry. I reinvest 60% of my overall income back into the people that are responsible for my income. I have learned through my 7 conventional businesses that you have to invest into your employees if you are going to become very successful. The principle is the same in network marketing, but leaders are slow to learn this reality. One of the greatest obstacles to success for the majority of network marketers has been compensation programs that are not designed to benefit the majority of networkers. During the past three decades, more than twentyfive hundred programs have come and gone. Only a very few have survived. The startling fact is that there are more people that have failure in the companies that have survived than the total number of distributors in all the companies that have went out of business. This ratio is true even when comparing equal time periods. Our extensive, threeyear study revealed that the greatest threat to the networker is not companies going out of business, but it is the common paradigm or “mind set” held by company and industry leaders. Although the danger of a program disappearing is a real threat, the real danger to a networker is in the programs that do succeed at the company level, but 85% of their distributors fail to break even on their own product purchases. Our survey indicates that this percentage is an industry average. From our extensive survey, we were astonished at the results. Regardless of how large the organization becomes, the percentage stays the same. Our research uncovered that an underlying attitude among industry leaders is the fundamental reason for this crisis. I chose the word “crisis” because I believe that the very existence of the Network Marketing industry is at risk. Any industry that has such a high level of attrition will eventually encounter a major backlash. Attrition is more than a statistic. It represents discouragement, frustration, and emotional suffering at a personal level. The very nature of Network Marketing lifts the individual’s hopes and expectations to unparalleled heights. When these hopes are destroyed, personal injury is experienced. Thousands of networkers have poured their hearts out, doing exactly what the industry leaders have trained them to do, only to fall short of their goals. The majority of training available is flawed, because it is based on propaganda promoted by individuals who are attempting to maintain the imbalance in wealth distribution. The negative legal climate is a result of this condition. The number of complaints received by state and federal legal entities is unprecedented. There are a number of individuals who feel that they have been wronged by the networking industry and have used the legal channel to express their hurt and outrage. Unless a greater percentage of networkers are allowed to achieve success in the Network Marketing industry, “our days may be numbered.” In the past few years, a new, aggressive attitude has surfaced with the FTC. Large companies, such as Omnitrition, JewelWay, Destiny, and FutureNet, considered legitimate within 8 the Network Marketing industry, have been attacked by legal agencies. The future of Network Marketing is in the hands of networkers like you and I. We need to make better decisions concerning the programs that we work. Twenty years ago, Network Marketing was at a crossroad. In reaction to an FTC report, exposing a major attrition problem in the Network Marketing industry, a few companies, such as Olde Worlde and Enhance, offered programs that shared a greater percentage of the wealth with its distributors, while spreading the commissions more fairly between a few “heavy hitters” and the rest of the majority of networkers. For example, I had a large group in Olde Worlde. Due to the structure of the pay plan, for seven years my organization experienced one of the lowest attrition rates in the industry, while a greater percentage of the members made a nice income. Company leaders, with traditionally structured programs, conducted an effective propaganda campaign against this potential revolution. The majority of distributors bought this dogma and the revolution died. We are at this crossroad again. Several Network Marketing companies have introduced revolutionary programs. Dozens of magazine articles, books, and reports, written by industry critics and leaders, are flooding the market with this traditional propaganda. If they succeed with their campaign, the parttime networkers are once again the losers! If we become more informed, we can make better selections and force the industry to modify its approach to the parttime distributor. What the majority of networkers do not understand is that the company owners and “heavy hitters” are in competition with them for the “commission dollar.” The more the company pays the average networker, the less there is for the owners and their “front” leaders to keep. Traditionally, pay plans are designed so that a few Network Marketing leaders earn astounding incomes quickly. They know that the experienced networker can put together a sizable organization, through their promotional skills, in spite of poor payout to the majority of networkers. A few large checks are created at “breakneck” speed, at the expense of the majority of networkers, to give the appearance of a lucrative program. It is much more lucrative for the company to pay out a few large checks than to pay a fair amount out to a large distributorship base. In structuring the pay plan to distribute the majority of commissions in depth, the company generally does not pay out the maximum potential of the bonus schedule. Only “players” that can build large organizations can really earn a great deal of income. There is only so much gross profit to divide within the pay plan. When companies imbalance the pay plan toward the “heavy hitter,” windfall is stolen from the rest of the distributors. There is a great deal of misinformation distributed from companies and “heavy hitters” concerning this subject. Why? They are protecting their incomes and profits. I have been the “heavy hitter” for most of my career. We have studied my genealogy reports that probably number close to a few hundred thousand members. The independent research firm that conducted our study 9 leased genealogies containing the purchasing and sponsoring patterns of two million individuals. Approximately 90% of all networkers, that we studied, had most of their downline organization within their first three levels (excluding binaries, which use a different basis for analysis). By placing the majority of the commissions below that level, companies are able to retain a greater share of the gross profit. Only a few individuals earn “indepth” bonuses. By paying a few people very large bonuses, the companies, overall, pay out far less in commissions than if they paid the majority of networkers a fair bonus. In addition to this maneuver, they can boast of having the highest paid distributors, attracting even more deceived beginners. In reality, this is a shortsighted approach. For personal gain, the industry leaders have forfeited the longterm stability of the Network Marketing industry. The attrition rate in Network Marketing is atrocious! The highest paid networkers do not reinvest enough of their earnings back into supporting the very distributors who have generated these huge incomes. It is typical in any other industry for those who benefit most from the efforts of others to reinvest a portion of their earnings back into the base that generates these earnings. “Heavy Hitters” in the network marketing industry have a legacy of being greedy and that is a major reason so many them last only a short time in any one particular program. (I reinvest more than 60% of my income back into my distributorship base in support services.) After they are in a program for a few years, the attrition rate forces them to work harder, trying to maintain what they have built. Only a handful of “heavy hitters” stay with the same program long term. Those that have a large downline must have new members coming in at the same rate as the number of members leaving. At that point, they don’t grow any larger, but only maintain what they have. The average attrition rate for most Network Marketing companies is 85% every 1824 months. Our study revealed that company leaders distort how they report growth statistics by leaving members on the books long after they have stopped ordering. Generally, the company spokesperson quotes the number of networkers that have been in the company at one time or another, even though a majority of them are not ordering. I know how the upper echelon think and function because I have worked at this level for most of my career. The key to any pay plan, and the survival of Network Marketing itself, is to get a greater percentage of participants into profit. Notice that I said percentage, not number. Just increasing the number of successful people is not the answer. Increasing the percentage is vital. There are seven categories of marketers. It is important that each segment receives a fair share of the commissions. An important key to a succesful pay plan is the number of members that is required for one person to get into profit (at the average purchasing rate). Traditionally, 1015 distributors are required to put one distributor into profit (with the 5% and 10% bonuses). This percentage never changes because it is built into the pay scale. That means that a majority of the organization is not breaking even on personal product 10 purchases, let alone breaking even on what it costs to build a business. Even with geometric overlap, the percentage does not change enough to make a great difference. As a greater number of individuals get involved, the number of failures only increases because it is a “lockedin percentage.” When you bring in your 10 or 15 members to get into profit, then you have 10 or 15 new networkers that are not into profit, and each need their own 10 or 15 customers or recruits. The problem just compounds as the organization grows. This scenario forces many networkers to spend their savings, fill up their credit cards, or finance their network marketing business by squeezing the family budget. A marketer could live with this scenario if it would lead to achieving success. The sad fact is that a great percentage of these networkers will never recover their investment. When companies pay more up front, the networker can finance their growth with profits from their business. There are several programs that now offer higher percentages on the first three levels. These types of pay structures will allow a greater percentage of networkers to get into profit quickly. It is not uncommon in the “compressed pay structure” to have 1 in 3 or 5 distributors breaking even on qualifying purchase instead of the 1 in 1015 scenario. This will drastically cut attrition and provide a solid foundation for a longterm residual income. In examining these types of programs be very careful. Never before have companies paid out so much so soon. A company will have to be in great financial shape to pay this out so quickly. Many of these programs will go out of business. Pay plans that place from 20% up within the first two or three levels are referred to as compressed pay plans. A few companies pay out as high as 4565% on the first or second levels. Only the most financially secure companies will survive such heavy frontend payouts. When analyzing the pay plan, make sure to adjust all bonuses in their true value. The ratio of BV to wholesale will make a major impact on the actual commissions paid. Various companies use different terms for BV or Bonus Volume (example PV or LP). BV is the actual figure that bonuses are paid on. Companies such as LifeForce offer a 40% bonus on their second level. When you average all their products together you come up with an average of only a 66% BV of wholesale. The 40% bonus becomes only a 26% bonus. They have added a few products that have a better BV but overall the average is 6575% BV. Although compressed pay plans will increase the percentage of successful participants, companies that overcompress will suffer similar challenges as companies that undercompress. Companies that overcompress have a tendency to shortcut product quality or innovation. Don’t let anyone sell you on the propaganda that you can succeed in this industry by using the pay plan as a lead feature. I mentioned early in this booklet that I financed an extensive study of this industry. Three hundred current programs were examined. I selected six programs that represented different market paradigms and testmarketed each of them. I developed organizations totaling more than 25,000 distributors in these programs. One of these programs was the most compressed program in the market. Although 11 my attrition rate was the lowest in the company, it was still much higher than what we expected. We had more distributors in profit but they were still experiencing excessive attrition. The program was too compressed. How can a program pay too much up front? There is a geometric factor that is important to understand. This feature creates a dynamic that demands a balance between the investment into the pay plan and investment into the products. At least seventy five percent of all participants in a program can never breakeven on their qualifying product purchase, regardless of how much the plan pays out. Work the figures out yourself. The percentage will not change no matter how large the organization becomes. It requires at least 34 people in the highest paying compressed programs to breakeven on your qualifying purchase. What is going to keep this 75% in the program? It has to be the products. The product has to be one that they cannot run down to the local mall and buy cheaper or at the same quality. The company has to keep enough money to provide cutting edge products. If only money hungry networkers enroll into your downline, eventually it will unwind from the bottom of your matrix up. Under the networkers you must have the productfocused marketers. Only a productfocused program can achieve this balance. Companies that promote their opportunities on the basis of money only attract a lopsided distributorship of moneyfocused marketers. Eventually when the program slows in growth due to saturation in exposure, the 75% will look for another program. You have to have a balanced program that will attract a diverse distributorship. A compressed pay plan is vital to the majority of networkers, but overcompression will be problematic to the same segment. Recently, a large Network Marketing company bragged that they had 700,000 distributors, and in that particular month only 40,000 distributors earned checks. This is only 1 in 17 distributors receiving a check! Although they boasted of paying out more than 50% in commissions, an imbalance of the commissions went to a few at the top. I would not brag about such an atrocious ratio. Personally, I would run from a program that allows a few people to earn super large checks within a very short period. There is only so much money to go around. Measure what the heavy hitter must do to achieve such huge checks. If the work doesn’t match the check, someone is going to be shortchanged. Guess who? A pay plan needs to be balanced. Remember, what happens to the “grassroots” distributor today is a reflection of what will eventually happen to the “heavy hitter.” Why do you think so many “heavy hitters” change programs so often? What is really ironic is that the “heavy hitters’” big checks, that attract so many parttimers into a program, are the very reason why the same parttimers can’t earn a decent check. We need to wise up. An intelligent and unselfish “heavy hitter” should avoid programs that overpay them. In the long run, you will earn more and develop a more secure income in a program that is fair to all. 12 A great majority of companies use the huge checks of a few heavy hitters to attract tens of thousands of networkers. These thousands of networkers work their hearts out and bring in approximately 1015% product users. Eightyfive percent of the networkers fall victim to attrition and go their own way, leaving the company with the product users. In essence, the company uses the networkers’ time and money to develop a productuser base. Think about the lost investment. If 10,000 distributors each invest $1,000 into building their business, it totals 10 million dollars. If the networker fails to earn enough income to stay in the program, he/she loses their investment, while the company retains the product users that were brought in, and benefits from all of the exposure. The company and a few “heavy hitters” become rich at the expense of the naïve distributor. I have served on Advisory Boards and have been personal friends of company founders. I know their paradigms. There are other factors to be aware of in your search for a viable opportunity. Scrutinize companies that have been around awhile but have recently have made major changes in their program. They may have survived for a great while under a different set of circumstances. When the dynamics of the program change, the financial balance may be affected. Companies that have been around for awhile can go under. Sterling Health was around for more than four years before they went under, and Matol was in existence twelve years before they experienced a shake up (they did recover). Beware of companies that sell founder memberships; generally that indicates they are undercapitalized. The great majority of companies that start in this manner have failed. Instead of sharing a greater amount of the gross profits with the overall distributorship, company leaders invest in securing celebrities to promote their programs. The companies can spend millions of dollars buying someone’s name and still save millions of dollars that would be required to pay everyone more in commissions. What does William Shatner have to do with the quality of a product or viability of a program? I like William Shatner as an actor but what does he have to offer me as a networker? Instead of paying 50,000 distributors more commissions, so that the pay plan attracts more prospects, companies pay a celebrity $500,000 to narrate a tape. The big name attracts prospects for a while. Eventually, the networker drops out because he can’t make enough money. Again, the company retains the product users. Names of M.D.s are bought to endorse product formulations. What does the average M.D. know about nutrition? They have very minimal training in nutrition. I know much more about nutrition than my own physician. He comes to me for nutritional information. You can spot a superficial endorsement of a medical professional. Generally, the endorsement is vague. If the company offers medicinal nutritional products, a doctor’s testimony will have more credibility. 13 The individual’s notoriety, such as Earl Mindell, RPh,Ph.D., is bought to attract prospects, not to formulate products. (I was sponsored directly under Dr. Mindell’s business associate, who helped set up his arrangement with FreeLife.) Dr. Mindell authored one of the most popular books on nutrition. Have you read it? The information is fairly generic; you can find this information in many different sources. Does Dr. Mindell have special knowledge about nutrition? Have you read the footnotes at the end of his books or articles? Many nutritionists have all of these same sources, if they choose to use them. The company is not buying special knowledge, but is paying for the popularity of the endorser. Does this approach provide you with a better opportunity? I am not putting down Dr. Mindell. I like him. I’m just using him as an example of a principle. Using celebrities to promote a program will attract distributors. But if the pay plan doesn’t pay right, they will drop out as fast as they enroll. As I have already pointed out, traditional pay plans guarantee a high failure ratio. Bringing in more prospects does not always earn you more income, and definitely does not keep the marketers involved. One of my distributors had 243 members in his FreeLife downline, which is traditionally structured. He also had 24 distributors in a compressed program that we were test marketing. These companies require approximately the same qualifying purchase. He earned more money in the latter program with fewer people. Building your organization through the popularity of a celebrity does not necessarily earn you more money or provide you with longterm security. An income that is built on the merits of the program itself, along with the proper training of its participants, is a secure income. Our study found that, although there are “pockets” of individuals making money throughout the Network Marketing industry, there is growing disillusionment. In reaction to this disillusionment, there are emerging trends that are “dead ends” and have the potential to rob millions of people of the real opportunity, while endangering the very existence of our industry. Our study traced these trends back to the “roots.” Thirty years ago, networkers were better trained. The average distributor sponsored several people and had a few customers. The traditional pay plans reduced the number of successful marketers. Our research suggests that a greater percentage of people were more successful in sponsoring and retaining distributors longer. This was due to a difference in the general attitude and perspective of the marketers of that day. Since the “cards were stacked against them,” because the pay plans were designed in favor of the companies, this attitude evolved into what is predominant in the present market. Once, thousands of distributors followed “the right way” without desired results, and new trends emerged. In general, distributors were confused and disillusioned concerning what is required to achieve success in Network Marketing. Since all of 14 the Network Marketing companies offered similar pay plans, networkers assumed that the pay plans were fair, and that the problem existed elsewhere. In search of success, new avenues were explored. A great number of individuals developed a distorted perception of networking. This perception left networkers vulnerable to “gimmicks” and “distortions.” Because of greed and selfcenteredness, the Network Marketing industry reached a crisis or plateau about 15 years ago. As a result of this “leveling off,” the industry experienced superficial changes. These changes did not get to the root of the problem. Since that period, new pay structures have gradually been introduced such as: binaries, forced matrixes, phase programs, straightline or linear expansion, Australian twoups, coding bonuses, matching bonuses, sponsoring bonuses, and floating bonuses. Basically, these variations did little to get more consistent cash into the majority of networkers’ pockets, and definitely did little for a lasting residual income. All of these types of pay structures only repackaged an “old problem,” and made it more difficult for the “average” networker to understand the dynamics of the program. Matrixes have become very popular. You are promised spillover. The average matrix still only pays 5% per level. It will still require 1220 distributors to break even. You still will have 8090% of your downline not into profit. What little spillover you receive will not make the difference. Only the “heavy hitter” will make money for awhile, until his downline drops out, and then he will move on to the next scam. As I mentioned earlier, companies have made cosmetic changes in pay structures as an attempt to postpone real change and to keep the money in the pockets of a few “hitters” and the company owners. These modified pay structures do not address the primary problem, an imbalance in how the money is distributed. For example, binaries generally don’t start paying until you have 812 members in the business, with a certain balance between legs. Shouldn’t you get paid on the first person that you put into the business? Who does this affect the most? The parttimer! A portion of the income is generally flushed. Why? In a typical binary program, you will always have approximately 55% of your downline not making anything and approximately 8085% not into profit. It is built right into the structure. Get your calculator out and figure it out yourself. For the benefit of the “heavy hitter,” his/her legs are kept at a near balance. Power legs are used as a “carrot.” Power legs splinter off and a majority of networkers end up without the support of a strong power leg. The power leg promotion is just a diversion from the fact that the plans do not pay enough to the parttimer. Our research found that binaries have the worst attrition problem of any pay structure. The problem is still how the earnings are being divided between the company, “hitters,” and the majority of networkers. Another substitution for fixing the real problem is the matching bonus, which again, rewards the wrong segment of Networkers. There are only so much 15 commissions to share. When a bonus is created it has to come from somewhere. The matching bonus still favors the “heavy hitter.” It is the startup or parttime distributor that needs a break. They make up more than 80% of all networkers. The attrition in this segment is “killing” Network Marketing. “Heavy hitters,” wake up! If you keep them in, you will not spend half your time replacing them. Weak marketers sponsor weak marketers, and the strong sponsor the strong. A matching bonus on “a little” equals “a little.” Matching bonuses promote the “hope I will get lucky and sponsor a hitter” approach, instead of encouraging personal development. The segment that is working hard with small results, is the segment that requires a greater reward for their efforts. Generally, matching bonuses are paid on 5% creating a 10% bonus, which is still ineffective. After adjusting for the BV ratio the matching bonus will generally be 68%. Sponsoring bonuses are a temporary fix! They can be beneficial but more money needs to be paid, on a consistent basis, to the parttimer. Temporary bonuses are smoke screens that camouflage the regular pay out that will determine the success of the distributor. Phase programs are another real loser. For an example, let us say it requires six people to complete your first phase, at which time you are paid and move into the second phase. At this point, one out of seven people are receiving a check. In order for you to complete the second phase, each of these six people will require six people to push them through to the second phase. With geometric overlap you will require 30 individuals to move the original six into phase two. At this point, you have 1 in 30 networkers being paid a phase two check. Eighty percent of your downline will never receive a check. It doesn’t matter how large your organization gets, you cannot escape this percentage because it is built into the pay structure. Along with phase marketing, the “one time purchase marketing” is very popular. What an attraction; you only pay once and make thousands. Onetime purchase plans do not create residual incomes. They run “hot and heavy” for awhile and then collapse under the increasing numbers needed to feed the machine. This is just another avenue to feed the incomes of a few “players” and leave the majority of networkers frustrated and disappointed. The sad fact is thousands of networkers keep falling for the same old tricks. Company owners and Network Marketing leaders developed market philosophies that were designed to protect the status quo. These old, failed market philosophies have been redressed. The “product driven” dogma has now become the “sizzle product” dogma. New techniques, such as “downline building,” sizzle tape waves, and virtual messaging have swept the nation in response to the problem. All of these techniques can be helpful but do not replace proper training and effective support. People are desperate to find a way to tap into the magic of networking. Without fundamental changes in the structure of traditional compensation plans, all of these methods and gimmicks will not work for the majority of networkers. Along with changes in the pay plans there must be 16 effective marketing strategies and effective training provided for the “grassroots” marketers. Our $500,000 study and test marketing endeavor provided the type of statistical information that allowed us to examine each of these philosophies and marketing strategies exhaustively. Our research tracked the history of each of these approaches. We found that these cosmetic changes have actually created a “lottery” or “casino” approach to networking. Instead of marketers learning sound business principles and practical marketing techniques, networkers are searching for a “sizzle,” a “wave” or “luck” to make them successful. People have lost faith in themselves and in the right approach to Network Marketing. Generally, sizzle techniques only make a few “heavy hitters” a great deal of money and don’t last. A secondary group of networkers will make moderate earnings but will, within a year, lose a majority of that income. A third group will bring in a number of new distributors but will not earn any significant income. The fourth group will consist of the great majority of the people that will be too late to take advantage of the wave and receive nothing for their effort or investment. The majority of networkers do not have the necessary statistical information that will allow them to make viable decisions. There are many different types of sizzle features that are used by companies and leaders to create a growth wave. A “sizzle feature,” we found, distracts the prospect from carefully examining the program on the merits of the program. Also, a “sizzle feature” often gives the individual a false sense of success. The networker places too much value on the “sizzle” and does not develop the personal skills needed to achieve and maintain success. Generally, sizzle products build unrealistic expectations, and blind you to other weaknesses in the program. Unrealistic expectations lead to premature disappointment. As soon as there is a comparable product on the market, the attrition of distributors skyrockets. Networkers jump on the “sizzle bandwagon” until they finally realize that there is not a fair pay plan to back up the product. Unrealistic expectations lead to premature failure. The networker judges the success of the program according to his/her expectations. What could have been a successful journey ends up in an unnecessary abortion. The organizations that we studied, that were built on “sizzle,” experienced a quicker peak in recruiting, but also a much greater attrition overall than did organizations developed on a balanced business approach. Another interesting finding was that companies that focused on sizzle products had the poorest pay plans. If you build your organization on a “sizzle” eventually the sizzle plays out and your organization is “left adrift” with out the skills to maintain or continue building their business. It is important to have a unique flagship product as a door opener. The “grassroots” distributor requires a lead product in order to reduce the level of skill that is required to sell the prospect. This product should have a broad foundation of science behind it and be able to produce a great number of specific testimonies. A 17 person who is in good health is not going to feel the benefits of the product. He needs to have confidence that the product really is doing something. This broad foundation of science will provide the subjective confidence to the healthy distributor. Another sizzle that has gained popularity during the past few years is the system craze, such as “hot tapes,” virtual messages, and direct mail systems. We studied these methods very carefully. The right duplicable systems can be important in the growth and retention of your organization. The right system attracts prospects, but alone does not create success for the majority of marketers. Again, a “sizzle marketing technique” distracts you from examining the merits of the program and developing the skills that can be duplicated beyond the life of a “wave.” Yielding to the temptation to prey upon the emotions of prospects with a tape or system focused on sizzle, our study found, has always ended in skyrocketing attrition, wasted time and money. New Vision and Cell Tech tape programs are examples of this approach. Each of these was built on the “tape craze.” In our analysis, they both have poor pay plans. A few people got rich, but thousands of individuals have been very disappointed. Our office has received hundreds of calls from distributors in these companies that are looking for something that can make them money. Again, the companies and a few “heavy hitters” are the winners. They picked up thousands of product users. While thousands are dropping out, thousands of “late wishers” are joining in response to the previous growth records of these programs. It takes a few years for the word to get around before the companies really feel the impact. The “heavy hitters” have invested their money outside of Network Marketing and, in many cases, have moved on. Many of these leaders are sincere but ignorant of the dynamics of this industry Beware of the “Network Marketing legends,” who claim that if you do what they did, then you too can be rich. Some of the methods that I originally used to build my organization do not work for a majority of networkers. Thousands will follow a “heavy hitter,” hoping that the “heavy hitter” will help to get them somewhere. If all they are going to teach you is how they built their business, you may only be making them richer. You need to know what is going to work for you, and even more importantly, what works for your future downline. Some people have a golden tongue and sign up everyone they talk to. The “heavy hitter” might have been at the right place at the right time. After that original luck, he/she may have just brought the group over to other opportunities or used his/her reputation to build the next opportunity. Most “heavy hitters” are magicians that sell you on illusions that make them rich. They must have started in Network Marketing with good intentions, but just do not have what is required for the average networker to be successful. I was guilty of this earlier in my career. There is a difference between having the ability to “talk people into” joining a program, and teaching them how to develop a successful business. It’s time to share success and teach principles that work for the average parttimer. Another area to be cautious in is the Internet marketing arena. There is no doubt that the Internet will be a fantastic tool that can assist 18 you in building your business. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the Internet will replace conventional marketing. There are certain principles that supercede technological advances. There are factors that are consistent in how they effect marketing. The Internet will create a new wave of scams and new approaches that will only confuse the average networker. Because it is new and there is not a great deal of proven knowledge by which to effectively analyze Internetbased MLM programs, the scam artist will have a “hay day” on the net. The Internet creates an avenue through which companies can enter the market without a sound foundation of experience, financial security and a viable product. You will see a great number of programs appear quickly and disappear just as quickly. Given the paradigm of regulatory agencies, you will find a great amount of Internet programs come under scrutiny. Another drawback is that the Internet will be an avenue through which a great number of tirekickers or lessthanserious networkers can quickly join a program to see if it “fits.” This type of scenario will create an atmosphere for reduced focus and lack of commitment. The Internet will accommodate other systems and marketing tools. I suggest that you be diverse in your approach to marketing. Build your future on a sound foundation. There is not enough space in this booklet for me to effectively address every aspect of this issue. You can learn more on this subject by visiting my archives on mikeakins.com. In response to the huge amount of networkers that are trying and failing, new, “make it easier” promotions appear. One of these is the downline builders. “All you have to do is spend your money and we will do all of the work for you,” promoters proclaim. Wouldn’t that be nice? Thousands flock to these magicians, hoping this is the answer. Does it work? Can it work? Our threeyear study reveals that it is impossible for this approach to work. As part of the research, and in response to the heavy competition being generated from these “builders,” we attempted to operate a modified, downlinebuilding program. With the largest fulltime staff in America, we believed that if anyone could make it work, we could. For the twoyears that we attempted this, we experienced the greatest “nightmare” that we have experienced in 22 years. In the last week that we offered this service, we mailed more than 2,000 information packets, at a cost of $4,000. We had more than 5,000 prospects that we could not get to, that had been waiting for more than 60 days to be contacted. We had 20 fulltime phone consultants, working six days a week. We refunded thousands of dollars. Let’s look at the mathematics involved in downline building. If you promise only five individuals that you will sponsor five under them, and continue the same promise for just four levels, on the fourth level you have 625 people. In order to sponsor five prospects for only 125 people, you must talk to 4,000 people. An average, sharp networker sponsors approximately 15% of the total number of individuals that he/she talks to. Four thousand information packets cost from $6,000 to $8,000. Sharp phone consultants spend an average of 45 minutes (on at least two occasions), talking to each prospect. Fortyfive minutes multiplied by 4,000 prospects totals 3,000 hours on the phone. At 10 cents per 19 minute longdistance service, the total cost for phone time will be $18,000. If the downline builder has five fulltime phone consultants working five days a week, it requires 100 days to followup on the 4,000 prospects. How many prospects are going to wait months to be followed up on? (This total is derived by figuring 5 phone consultants working on the phones, 6 hours a day, five days a week. In reality, they would not be able to even keep up with that pace.) Not including any type of overhead, the phone and packet cost to followup on 4,000 people is $26,000. The downline builder will have 730 members in his downline. If the program pays 10% per level, the downline builders will earn $7,300. If the pay plan pays 5% per level, they will make $3,650. In a 45%, second level program, the benefit is much better in the above scenario. If there are 5 builders involved, that would be $1,400 for each phone consultant or $466 per month. They spent $26,000 and made $1,400. What a deal! In 30 years, not one downline building group has ever stayed in the same business for very long. Usually, the motive behind downline building is ignorance, or lack of integrity. The downline builder will put together several hundred networkers before they crash. They will change their systems at some point. At that point, they have a group of distributors to work with as a nucleus for themselves, but have accomplished very little for any particular distributor. The most troubling effect is the damage that is suffered by all of the victims who were looking for an easy ride. They lost valuable time! They could have been learning how to build a real business. Possibly, one more nail has been hammered into their “coffin” of disbelief and hopelessness. In today’s market there are two paradigms that are clashing. The first promotes the idea that majority of networkers are involved to earn extra income. The other is that you must be productfocused. Both concepts are correct. The product, the service, the pay plan, and the security of the program are all important features. The company would prefer that the distributorship be only productfocused, because the company is in competition with its distributors for commission dollars. As more commission dollars are paid out, less is left for profit. Competition between Network Marketing companies is the driving force to encourage a company to pay more commissions. If the company can successfully promote the propaganda of “focusing on the product,” it can attract distributors without paying them what they are worth. It is best to select a program that markets a balance between company security, quality products, a lucrative pay plan focused on the parttimer, and effective support. I suggest that you keep yourself from being blinded by any one feature. Another work of the “spin doctors” is, “What constitutes security for the distributor?” Company security does not equal distributor security. Amway is one of the most secure companies in MLM. Amway earns $5 billion in gross sales every year, and the owners are listed as multibillionaires. When the FTC investigated Amway, it found that Amway experiences a 79% attrition rate each year with new distributors joining. That is not security for the distributor. Wealthy owners do not 20 always mean more security for the distributors. “How much wealth are they willing to risk?” is a better question. Our research revealed that more marketers have failed while companies were in business, than from the result of companies going out of business. Another charade that is being sold to the marketers is that public stock companies provide more security. By transferring the ultimate control of the company to investors, the distributors’ security is in danger. Investors are not necessarily interested in the distributors. They do not necessarily understand the personal dynamics of networking. They want the greatest return on their investments. Sometimes, this means changing the payout to the detriment of the distributor force. After Pangea sold out to one of the largest pharmaceutical giants in the world, the pay plan was changed twice in a short period of time. Keep an eye on Changes International in the next few years. Why should Twin Labs keep paying out so much money, when other giants, much larger than Changes, attract distributors with much less commissions? Investors that are with Twin Labs may be more of a liability than an asset. Benefits to Changes are capital investment and the sizzle of the Twin Labs name. Twin Labs is involved to make an investment return. This is just one more “bill” to be paid from sales profits. The Changes compensation philosophy was developed by the Paulsons. Will Twin Labs maintain that philosophy once the Paulsons are no longer key managers/executives? Why would you sell your ownership in a company if you had longterm commitment? My hunch is that the pay plan may be changed in the next few years! Although Changes has added several renowned individuals to its leadership team, they come from traditionaloriented backgrounds. Will they be able to neutralize the will of the stockholders? I will have to give Changes credit for launching the shift to “the front end pay” in 1995. Others have built upon their efforts by improving the opportunity even more for the majority of networkers. (Since the printing of the first edition of this booklet three years ago, Twin Labs has changed the Changes pay plan and the Paulsons are gone.) Companies that are owned by wealthy entrepreneurs are just as risky as stock owned companies. An owner who views the company only from an investment perspective may not choose to continue to support a particular company. I have found it best to attach yourself to a company that has a founder who is focused on one endeavor and has his heart in the venture. The founder that is emotionally attached to the future of the company will weather through rough times. A wealthy, detached owner can easily decided to spin off one of his investments. It happens all of the time. Another dead end in this industry can be experienced by selecting a program because it has a flashy president who has been successful in some other industry. One such leader in this industry is the president of an upcoming marketing company. This individual managed Avon from a small company into a billiondollar 21 company. His first venture in the MLM arena as a primary consultant to VHS was a major flop. Managing a major conventional company is not comparable to managing a network marketing company. Many of the dynamics involved are different. The independent study of this industry examined several different markets. Our study did conclude that nutrition is the best industry to be in. There were only 6 million people in the industry in 1994. A majority of them were in companies that had nutritional products. In the next four years, Cell Tech added 400,000 distributors; Mannatech added 400,000 distributors; Kaire International added 350,000 distributors; Life Plus put in 500,000; New Vision added 700,000 distributors; and another dozen nutritional companies added another 1½ million distributors. Eighty percent of all distributors that were added to the MLM industry during this period were enrolled in companies that offered nutrition. Companies that offered home care and personal care products, along with nutrition products, did especially well. With 70 million baby boomers becoming more focused on nutrition, along with exploding research that is gaining more media attention, nutrition is just getting started! Since nutrition is still an infant industry, we can compete with conventional companies more effectively. Nutrition is a very personal product. It is the only product that we consume. There is a greater chance of developing product loyalty. Who is going to be loyal to a long distance rate, computer, personal development course, travel package, or tax service? There is much more information that I would like to share with you, but space does not allow. Our research company studied several other dimensions within the Networking industry. I have training material based on this study. We share research information through monthly newsletters and weekly conference calls. Our research provided us with information on the type of support and training that is most effective in Network Marketing. We discovered the “pitfalls” and “dead ends” on one hand, and the strengths on the other. If you would like to learn more about the dynamics of this industry, you can subscribe to my Internet newsletter at mikeakins.com. It does not promote anyone particular program but only shares generic training information. Since 1967, I have been intensely involved in Network Marketing. I semiretired on residual incomes for a short time, to pursue personal goals. During this period, I maintained a fulltime staff in support of my downline organizations. Network Marketing has been the avenue through which to capture my “American dream.” With earnings from Network Marketing, I have been able to purchase conventional businesses, start a private school for disadvantaged children, start and support ministries to the elderly, terminally ill, the homeless, and to Native Americans. A few years ago, I came out of semiretirement to develop a larger financial base so that I could help more people in this life. Few things bring joy to me more than to assist others in pursuing their personal dreams and goals. Helping others to break loose from the financial vice, so 22 they are able to spend their time with their families and on things of greater value, is most enjoyable to me. Initially, I wrote this generic synopsis, solely to provide insight to the thousands of networkers who are hopelessly trapped in a spiral of misinformation, and not to use as a prospect tool. A distributor, who has been with me for 23 years, shared insight with me that changed my mind. She shared with me how our “heartfelt support” and this type of knowledge had changed her life, and how unfair it was for me not to expose as many people as possible to our wisdom, training, and support. That is why I have allowed marketers that are in programs that represent the principles in this synopsis to use this booklet in their sponsoring efforts. My research has continued beyond the 3year study. The industry is constantly evolving and maturing. It is important to have cuttingedge information on where the market is going. I suggest that you find a mentor or support group that follows the principles found in this booklet. Find a mentor that follows a marketing philosophy similar to what I am sharing with you. Find a unselfish leader that will put you first. I know what it requires from me to assist my downline partners to achieving their full potential. With our experience, superior training and support, we have always been able to be leaders in developing strong and solid organizations that last and provide true residual income for our members. I have members that have been with me for more than 2530 years in existing program that I have developed over the past three decades, even out lasting a few of the companies they belong to. Armed with the results of this comprehensive study, we are expanding our networking family. With Professional Networkers, you are literally building a permanent downline organization. No more starting over again! Drawing from the extensive research of 300 programs, and my many years of experience, we have selected a program that focuses on the dynamics that are the cornerstones of success. After testing marketing several programs to see if our theory works as well in actual practice, we selected our primary program and back up programs that we will focus on growth for the next decade. In order to protect our organizations from company failures we develop backup programs. You stay focused on one program and we protect your investment by having a “backup” strategy. We will never build another organization and have it disappear on you because a company vanishes or makes a mistake in judgement. I have a fulltime staff of more than 32 professional consultants that assist me in training and servicing the members of my organization. I invest close to a million dollars into supporting my downline partners, to personally assist each member of my downline. I have a research company that surveys and studies our efforts, constantly providing information that allows us to improve our results. We have in place a variety of systems (some that other groups haven’t even thought of) and training for all levels of experience. We have virtual message, telemarketing support and personalized training for the networker who feels very uncomfortable in presenting 23 the program, and we have training and strategy for the leaders who have refined their skills. Each member starts their business with a strategy session. Professional Networkers provides both shortterm and longterm strategy that is duplicated throughout the downline organization. We design, and provide testmarketed postcards, booklets, flyers and other direct mail literature for our distributors. Professional Networkers provides a fulfillment center that has several departments that will provide an assortment of services for you, ranging from designing and mailing prospect packets for you, to designing and providing a FREE 100page, selfreplicating website for each of our members. Our website has a full presentation on it. We have more than 18 phone consultants to train your downline on 3way calls. I provide “nut & bolt” training through conference calls. We provide a periodic newsletter packed with information that assists our members in building their businesses as well as keeping them informed on the latest in the industry. We provide nationwide coop advertising. We assign a special team of consultants to provide proactive support to each leg I have just completed stage two of my fourstage development strategy. In this stage I added 30,000 (as of 2005 150,000) distributors to my organization. We are developing a worldwide organization that is taking network marketing to a higher level of longterm success than any other organization that I know of. Thank you for reading this synopsis. I wish you well in whatever you do. Be a part of the answer. Be a part of the revolution. Remember, success is a team endeavor. Learn correct marketing philosophy, develop effective marketing strategies, create duplicable techniques, systems, and marketing tools. Build your organization solid, one person at a time. Be blessed.

Activities and characteristics of transfer factors.
Biotherapy 1996;9(1-3):13-6 (ISSN: 0921-299X)
Kirkpatrick CH Innovative Therapeutics, Inc. Denver, CO, USA.
This report summarizes three components of our transfer factor research program. Several clinical studies have used oral administration of transfer factor containing materials. Sceptics have rejected these findings by assuming that the acidic and enzymatic environment of the gastrointestinal tract would destroy the factors. To further examine this issue, we have conducted dose-response studies of the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in mice that were given transfer factor either by gavage or subcutaneously. There were no difference in the responses that were related to the route of administration. We conclude that oral route of administration is efficacious and should be used when possible. We have also studied the effects of transfer factors on immune responses by recipients. The details of this research are presented in the paper by Dr. Alvarez-Thull. Briefly, the study showed that recipients of a specific transfer factor responded to the antigen for which the factor was specific by secreting gamma-IFN, but no other cytokines. The structures of transfer factor molecules are unknown. We have developed a process for isolating transfer factors in pure form and we have obtained preliminary data concerning amino acid sequences. Our goal is to obtain the complete primary structure of several transfer factor molecules.

PERHATIAN BUAT SEMUA BANGSA MALAYSIA!

Assalammualaikom,
Sebelum saya menulis dengan lebih lanjut lagi,izinkan saya mengenal kan diri saya,Nama saya Ibrahim Ahmad,asal melaka,Mempunyai perniagaan sendiri di dalam bidang MLM.apa yang saya ingin ketengahkan di kala ini adalah mengikut pendapat saya sebagai pengedar barangan kesihatan,saya sedih sebagai warganegara Malaysia berketurunan melayu melihat ramai wanita dan lelaki melayu yang ramai terpedaya dengan industri kesihatan mlm di sebabkan ketidaktahuan dan kecetekan ilmu di dalam bidang kesihatan.Dan ramai antara orang kita yang mengambil kesempatan atas kelemahan ini,cuba kita perhati kan industri MLM malaysia,kebanyakan mereka tidak mempunyai produk yang bagus,yang ada cuma pelan pembayaran yang baik sahaja,dan mereka menyebab kan kadar pesakit buat pinggang di Malaysia dan lain lain sakit semakin meningkat di sebabkan mereka mementingkan kewangan sahaja.Di Malaysia kita mempunyai kadar pesakit buah pinggang antara tertinggi di asean.kenapa ini terjadi? Kerana kelemahan kita sendiri dalam mengambil produk kesihatan,Kenapa kita tidak mempersoalkan di mana kajian saintifik yang di hasilkan untuk produk yang mereka makan atau edar kepada keluarga mereka ? Yang ada cuma dari mulut ke mulut sahaja tentang kebaikan produk ini dan itu.Akhirnya apa yang kita makan atau jual menyebabkan kerosakan buah pinggang atau anggota badan kita dan keluarga kita tanpa kita sedari.Selama saya membuat MLM ,asas MLM yang saya ketahui adalah jual yang terbaik yang kita tahu pada orang sekeliling kita tapi apa yang jadi di mlm malaysia? Jual yang boleh membuat kita kaya tanpa mempedulikan kesihatan orang sekeliling kita!! Apa kah kita tidak sayang dengan orang keliling kita??Atau bmw,banglow dan duit berjuta lagi penting dari keluarga kita? jiran kita? Ya,saya tahu kekayaan adalah baik,tapi apakah kekayaan itu perlu jikalau kita mengambil kebahagiaan orang lain?Dan afdal ke kekayaan kita jikalau kita mendapat duit berjuta dan menyebabkan abang atau adik kita menderita sakit buah pinggang setelah mengambil produk kita dalam tempoh panjang?Apa yang saya luah kan ini adalah hanya 5% dari masalah MLM Malaysia.Yang saya harap kan sidang pengarang akan menerbitkan apa yang saya tulis ini kerana mungkin luahan ini boleh membuat kan ada nyawa yang terselamat setelah membaca coretan saya ini. saya boleh di hubungi di molekul_terhebat@yahoo.com.my

PENYAKIT BARAH

Penyakit Barah / Kanser:

Punca Ia Terjadi, Cara Mengesan, Rawatan dan Pencegahan
Barah terjadi hasil dari pertumbuhan dan percambahan sel tubuh, lymph dan darah yang tidak terkawal. Ia sangat merbahaya bukan kerana ia boleh menjangkiti orang lain, tetapi ia lambat laun akan membunuh mangsanya. Barah merupakan salah satu dari punca utama kematian manusia.
Pertumbuhan sel yang normal
Di dalam tubuh manusia terdapat berbagai jenis tisu seperti kulit, paru-paru, hati, limpa dan yang lain. Tisu-tisu tersebut terbina dari berjuta-juta sel yang teratur dan terkawal, dengan setiap tisu mempunyai struktur sel yang tersendiri. Rupa bentuk setiap sel berbeza dari satu organ ke satu organ yang lain.
Sel-sel ini akan mati dan diganti melalui proses pembahagian sel. Proses ini dikawal begitu rapi dan merupakan proses biasa yang berlaku secara semulajadi. Bilangan sel yang diganti adalah sama jumlahnya dengan sel yang telah mati. Jika berlaku luka, penghasilan sel akan meningkat sehingga luka itu sembuh dan pembahagian sel menjadi kembali seperti biasa selepas itu.
Sel-sel barah
Sel-sel barah membahagi dan bercambah mengikut kadar tersendiri tanpa boleh dikawal. Proses itu berterusan sehingga rawatan diberi. Percambahan yang begitu cepat menjadi ketumbuhan. Sel-sel ini juga tidak terkawal secara teratur sehingga tisu-tisu yang terbentuk dari sel-sel ini tidak langsung menyerupai tisu-tisu yang normal. Bahan makanan diserapi melalui sel-sel yang normal, tetapi sel-sel barah ini tidak berfungsi langsung.
Jenis-jenis barah
Barah dikelaskan mengikut dari mana datangnya sel-sel barah ini iaitu:
· Karsinoma – dari permukaan tubuh seperti kulit, perut, pundi air kencing, rahim, prostat, usus kecil dan besar, dubur, buah dada dan salur benih.
· Sarkoma – dari struktur dalam tubuh seperti tulang, otot-otot dan lemak.
· Lymphoma – dari kelenjar lymph.
· Lukemia – dari sel darah putih.
Ketumbuhan
Tidak semua ketumbuhan itu barah, ada yang “benign”. Jenis ini tidak merbahaya kecuali bila mengganggu fungsi organ yang terlibat. Ketumbuhan “benign” tidak merebak, ia tumbuh di dalam kelongsongnya dan dalam tisu-tisu yang normal. Ketumbuhan “malignant” merbahaya kerana ia terdiri dari sel-sel barah yang menceroboh atau tumbuh dalam tisu-tisu normal. Bukan itu sahaja, sel-sel dari ketumbuhan ini malahan bercerai dan merebak ke seluruh anggota mangsanya hingga mengakibatkan kematian mangsanya.
Ketumbuhan “benign” kelihatan seakan-akan tisu normal, percambahannya terkawal dan perubahannya lebih perlahan. Tetapi jika ketumbuhan ini berlaku pada organ yang penting seperti paru-paru, kesihatan mangsanya akan terjejas. Ketumbuhan “benign” perlu dikeluarkan melalui pembedahan.
Asal-usul barah
Sel barah bermula dari sel-sel normal dalam tubuh. Hanya satu sel sahaja diperlukan untuk mencetus ketumbuhan barah. Proses perubahan dari sel normal menjadi sel barah berlaku secara sangat perlahan dan berperingkat-peringkat serta memakan masa bertahun-tahun. Pada setiap peringkat, sel-sel ini menjadi bertambah tidak normal bentuknya dan kian kurang terkawal.
Proses ini tidak menimbulkan apa-apa tanda atau kesakitan sehinggalah barah terjadi. Tetapi dalam sesetengah keadaan, seperti barah pangkal rahim, perubahan ini boleh dikesan melalui ujian seperti pap smear.
Cara barah membiak
Sel barah berupaya merebak hingga menjadikannya sangat merbahaya. Sel ini merebak dengan teratur bermula dari tisu-tisu di sekelilingnya. Kemudian sel-sel ini bercerai dan terkandung dalam cairan tisu tubuh, seterusnya masuk ke dalam saluran lymphatik dan ke dalam kelenjar-kelenjarnya. Dari sini sel barah menembus masuk ke dalam saluran darah.
Fungsi kelenjar lymp adalah menapis keluar sel-sel yang mati dan jangkitan. Sel barah lazimnya terperangkap di dalam kelenjar yang paling hampir dengan tempat barah terjadi. Sel-sel ini akan mati, tetapi lambat laun satu darinya akan mula bercambah dan mengakibatkan ketumbuhan kedua. Dari sini sel-sel itu akan merebak ke dalam saluran darah dan dibawa keseluruh tubuh mangsanya.
Mengapa barah terjadi?
Sebab terjadinya barah tidak diketahui, tetapi barah didapati biasa terjadi apabila seseorang itu sudah meningkat tua. Bertambahnya bilangan pesakit barah adalah disebabkan dewasa ini kita hidup lebih lama dari dulu. Satu teori lain pula mengatakan bahawa tubuh kita memang mengeluarkan sel-sel yang tidak normal, tetapi biasanya ia boleh dimusnahkan secara semulajadi. Namun begitu terdapat pada mangsa barah, sebilangan sel yang berupaya untuk terus hidup hingga mengakibatkan barah.
Ada juga barah yang diwarisi seperti barah mata (retina). Barah buah dada juga dikatakan ada kaitan dengan warisan untuk sesetengah mangsa.
Kebanyakan barah dipercayai berlaku akibat dari kemasukan sesuatu dari persekitaran seperti yang terbukti dari radiasi, kimia tertentu atau bahan-bahan lain. Cahaya ultra-ungu dari matahari juga boleh mengakibatkan barah. Bahan-bahan yang dimasukkan dalam makanan, ubat-ubatan dan tembakau juga boleh mengakibatkan barah.
Siapa dihidapi barah?
Kanak-kanak juga boleh menghidapi barah, iaitu lazimnya barah lukemia. Lukemia kerap mencari mangsa yang berumur antara 3 hingga 14 tahun. Kaum lelaki pula mengalami barah paru-paru, prostat, usus besar, perut dan pankrias. Kaum wanita yang malang dihinggapi barah buah dada, pangkal rahim, rahim, usus besar, paru-paru dan ovari.
Mengesan barah
Jika barah dapat dikesan pada peringkat awal sebelum ia merebak ke bahagian lain tubuh, rawatannya lebih mudah dan penyembuhan lebih mudah tercapai. Oleh itu pengdiagnosan yang seawal-awalnya sangat penting. Ketakutan kita pada penyakit barah ada kalanya melengahkan kita dari mendapat kepastian ini.
Barah boleh dikesan dengan berbagai cara seperti:
· Sinar X dan imbasan
· Biopsi atau mengambil secebis tisu dan diuji
· Ujian cairan/lelehan dari tubuh seperti air liur dan lelehan pangkal rahim
· Pemeriksaan tubuh terutamanya kelenjar-kelenjar lymph
· Pemeriksaan darah untuk menguji fungsi hati dan tulang
· iaitu bahan radioaktif dimasukkan ke dalam tubuh, kemudian dikesan melalui sinar X
· Termografi; iaitu mengesan suhu pada setiap bahagian yang terlibat. Sel barah lebih tinggi suhunya dari sel normal
Setelah dikesan dan diketahui jenis serta peringkat barah yang dihidapi, rawatan yang tepat dapat dimulakan. Tujuan rawatan ialah untuk memusnahkan semua sel barah.
Cara merawat atau mengubati barah
Doktor akan merawat mangsa barah dengan cara yang sesuai dengan jenis barah dan peringkatnya. Antara rawatan yang diberi ialah:
· Pembedahan untuk membuang keseluruhan ketumbuhan barah termasuk kawasan sekelilingnya serta kelenjar-kelenjar lymph yang berdekatan. Pembinaan semula dilakukan jika perlu seperti ‘colostomy’, iaitu membina salur najis di atas perut apabila usus dan dubur telah dibuang
· Menggunakan radioterapi untuk memusnahkan sel-sel barah. Radiasi memusnahkan bahan genetik sel barah supaya ia tidak berupaya bercambah lagi. Tetapi radiasi juga turut memusnahkan sel yang normal. Proses pemulihan sel normal akan berlaku selepas itu. Selalunya dos radiasi yang selamat diberikan. Ia diberikan setiap hari selama 4 hingga 6 minggu. Kesan sampingan yang dialami ialah gatal kulit. Ini boleh dikurangkan dengan tidak membasuhnya, kemudian sapukan kerim. Kelesuan dan cirit-birit akan berlaku jika rawatan dibuat di bahagian perut. Rambut akan gugur jika rawatan dibuat di kawasan kepala, tetapi rambut akan tumbuh semula dalam tempoh 6 bulan. Kesembuhan untuk ketumbuhan setempat seperti di leher dan kepala kadang-kadang boleh dicapai dengan radiasi. Radiasi dilakukan selepas pembedahan untuk meningkatkan kesembuhan seperti pada buah dada. Radiasi juga boleh melegakan gejala-gejala barah terutamanya rasa sakit. Radiasi kadang-kadang dimasukkan sebagai susuk ke dalam mulut, lidah, rahim untuk mengurangkan pemusnahan sel-sel normal.
· Kemoterapi iaitu dengan ubat-ubatan untuk memusnahkan kandungan genetik sel barah. Rawatan cara ini diberi bila barah telah merebak. Pemusnahan kandungan genetik mengakibatkan percambahan sel barah tidak sempurna, tetapi ia turut melibatkan percambahan sel normal. Kesan sampingan rawatan ini adalah keguguran rambut, loya dan pengurangan sel darah. Ini kerana sel di bahagian kulit, tulang sumsum dan perut bercambah dengan pesatnya.
· Terapi hormon diberi pada barah yang bergantung kepada hormon untuk bercambah. Hormon penghalang pengeluaran hormon yang biasa diberi supaya sel barah ini berhenti bercambah.
Rawatan kombinasi juga diberi untuk barah seperti yang dihidapi oleh kanak-kanak. Pembedahan diikuti dengan radioterapi kemudian diikuti dengan ubat-ubatan. Dalam kes barah lukemia dan anemia tertentu, radiasi seluruh tubuh dilakukan sebelum pemindahan tulang sumsum dilaksanakan.
Kebanyakan jenis barah boleh diatasi jika dikesan pada peringkat awal. Oleh itu adalah penting untuk membuat ujian dan mengesannya di peringkat awal supaya rawatan serta merta dapat diberikan. Selepas sembuh, rawatan susulan adalah sangat penting terutamanya pemeriksaan di bahagian yang terlibat. Sekiranya mangsa barah boleh hidup dan sihat sehingga selepas 5 tahun, bolehlah berharap bahawa dia tidak akan lagi dihingapi barah.
Cara mengelak barah
Beberapa langkah boleh diambil untuk mengelak berlakunya barah seperti:
· Elakkan dari terdedah kepada cahaya matahari secara terus menerus
· Elakkan menghisap rokok
· Elakkan menjalani sinar X kecuali jika benar-benar perlu
· Kurangkan makanan yang mengandungi lemak yang tinggi
· Lebihkan makanan yang mengandungi serabut yang tinggi
· Kurangkan makan bahan-bahan manis
· Tinggal di kawasan yang tidak tercemar udara
· Pilih pekerjaan yang tidak mendedahkan diri kepada bahan-bahan yang boleh menyebabkan barah
Tujuh tanda-tanda barah
1. Perubahan tabii sistem pembuangan najis dan perkencingan
2. Kudis yang tidak boleh sembuh
3. Perdarahan atau lendir yang luar biasa
4. Ketumbuhan pada buah dada atau di tempat lain
5. Makanan tidak hadam atau kepayahan menelan
6. Perubahan ketara pada kutil atau tahi lalat
7. Batuk yang sentiasa ada atau serak suara

Transfer Factor Sebagai Sokongan Kepada Kemoterapi
Pesakit barah yang menjalani rawatan kemoterapi atau radiasi, yang melemahkan sistem imiun dengan teruknya, akan mendapat faedah yang besar sekiranya mengambil Transfer Factor (TF). Permakanan tambahan TF akan membantu melindungi tubuh dari jangkitan “oportunis”, yang selalu berlaku ketika rawatan ini dijalankan.
Dr. Duane Townsend, bekas Pengarah Onkologi Gynikologikal, Hospital LDS, Salt Lake City, Amerika Syarikat, memberi TF kepada kesemua pesakit barahnya untuk memperkuatkan sistem imiun mereka bagi mempertingkatkan keupayaan mereka menghadapi sebarang cabaran kesihatan.
Kedua-dua kajian klinikal di Cina dan di Jepun mendapati bahawa pemusnahan sel normal (immunosuppression) yang disebabkan rawatan kemoterapi boleh dicegah dengan menggunakan TF. Perlu diingat bahawa pembuangan sel barah yang tenat atau telah mati dipantau oleh sistem imiun badan. Kajian yang dijalankan di Itali, Jepun dan Amerika memberitahu kita bahawa pengambilan TF selepas pembedahan ketumbuhan meningkatkan peluang kita untuk bebas dari barah di masa hadapan.

Kajian Pengunaan TF Ke Atas 20 Orang Pesakit Barah

20 orang pesakit, 12 lelaki dan 8 perempuan dipilih untuk kajian “in vivo”. Purata umur mereka adalah 49.3 tahun. Kedua-dua puluh individu berkenaan mengidap barah peringkat ketiga atau keempat. Setiap dari mereka telah dihantar pulang oleh doktor mereka untuk menunggu kematian. Purata tempoh hayat mereka yang diberikan oleh doktor adalah 3.7 bulan. Keputusan diambil untuk memberi setiap dari mereka 9 kapsul Transfer Factor Plus sehari, mereka juga diberi makan nutrien-nutrien* yang lain. Selepas 8 bulan, 16 orang dari pesakit tersebut masih lagi hidup dan samada telah sembuh dari barah, bertambah baik ataupun telah stabil.
* Anti-oksidan, digestive enzymes, probiotics dan multi-vitamins.

Sistem Imune – Angkatan Tentera Tubuh

Mengikut Dr. George C Pack, MD, pakar kanser di Cornell Medical School, hampir setiap dari kita menpunyai sel kanser di dalam tubuh kita pada setiap masa. Jika sistem imune kita berfungsi dengan baik, sel-sel ini dihapus atau dimakan oleh pertahanan badan kita sebelum ia dapat bercambah dan membahayakan kesihatan kita. Satu-satunya pertahanan sebenar kita terhadap serangan kanser adalah sistem imune. Kita mendapat kanser setiap hari tetapi ia dihapuskan oleh sistem imune tanpa kita menyedarinya.Mengekalkan sistem pertahanan imune yang kuat bukanlah tugas yang mudah dalam dunia moden ini. Pendedahan setiap hari kepada pencemaran alam, tekanan hidup seharian, makanan yang mengandungi bahan kimia, virus baru yang kebal boleh melemahkan sistem imune kita. Yang mengejutkan, penyakit disebabkan sistem imune lemah sedang meningkat di seluruh dunia. Imuniti yang lemah merupakan faktor utama penyakit seperti candida albicans, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, HIV, hepatitis, mononucleosis, herpes II, kanser dan penyakit yang tersebar melalui seks. Penyakit-penyakit ini merupakan wabak di zaman ini, dan kebanyakan dari kita tidak mempunyai apa-apa untuk melawannya. Antibiotik, antacids, imunisasi, dadah cortico-steroid yang berlebihan dan pencemaran alam sekitar akan menjejaskan imbangan sistem imune ke tahap di mana ia tidak lagi dapat membezakan di antara sel sihat dengan sel yang merbahaya.

KENAPA 4LIFE DAN BUKAN LAIN MLM?

Why 4Life™ Research?
Only a few times in a lifetime does a program come along that contains all of the necessary factors that will provide an outstanding opportunity to succeed! Mike Akins selected this program after investing one half million dollars into an extensive study of the industry. An independent marketing and research firm carefully examined more than 300 programs. Forty years of network marketing history were researched. 4Life™ Research was selected as the #1 opportunity in the world. “In my career of more than three decades, I have not seen as great an opportunity as what I find in 4Life™ Research.” – Mike Akins
A Scientific Breakthrough
Transfer Factor represents a complete new paradigm in this industry. In the past 50 years there has only been five network marketing companies that have introduced a new paradigm product into this industry. All of these companies are now BILLION-DOLLAR programs. This is your chance to be a part of a solid foundation to such a program!
4Life™ Research is the company that can provide the vision, experience, and security that we need to build with confidence. The 4Life™ Compensation Plan will allow the greatest number of participants to earn their fair share of the money.
Mike’s half million-dollar study discovered an equation for success with certain factors that are necessary for maximum success. 4Life™ was selected according to this formula. The following is an overview of these factors and how 4Life™ fulfills this criteria.
Selecting the Right Company
The network marketing industry is booming, with more than 50,000 people entering the industry each week. According to a Money Maker’s Monthly survey, there are approximately 11 million individuals involved in the industry. The first, and possibly the most important, step in developing a successful business is selecting the right program and support group. All of the systems and personal effort in the world will not be of value to you if the company you select goes out of business. There are certain aspects of a company and program that can hinder or enhance the distributors’ chances for success.
The industry is full of paradoxes. On one hand you have many testimonies of “rags to riches,” and on the other hand you have a vast number of network marketers who are frustrated, wandering from one program to another, trying to find a program that will work for them. Another paradox in this lucrative, exploding industry is the great number of network marketing companies that go out of business within the first five years. For a majority of marketers, the journey to success is like moving through a minefield. During my career of more than 30 years, I have found that there are certain dynamics involved in our industry that will affect your pursuit of success. It can be of great value to know these factors so that you can avoid these pitfalls. Based on these dynamics, 4Life™ was selected from a study of more than 300 programs.
Company Leadership
The type of corporate leadership behind the program will have a great influence on your success. A successful company will have leaders who provide the distributorship with security and effective leadership. Effective leadership will provide adequate financing, have systems in place that will support the “grassroots” distributors, create product strategy that addresses the paradigm of the current market, be responsive to market trends, address the concerns of the distributors, provide efficient logistic services, be prepared to address challenges quickly and effectively, and maintain adequate inventories. With only 29 network marketing companies surviving more than ten years, out of more than 2000 companies that have started during the past 40 years, effective leadership becomes a major concern. With this company, we are fortunate because its founder, David Lisonbee, has an established “track record.” In the 1970’s, David helped launch Nature’s Sunshine internationally. Nature’s Sunshine is now a billion-dollar company. David was the co-founder of Enrich, a sixteen-year-old network marketing company, which reached $100 million in annual gross sales under his leadership. Every company that Mr. Lisonbee has touched in the past 25 years has turned to gold. David has proven that he has the business skills and talented leadership necessary to guide our company to unprecedented success. Mike is convinced that David, his wife, and the management team that he has selected have the vision, experience, integrity, and strategy to lead us to long-term success. Check out the “Corporate Leaders Page.”
Product Philosophy
4Life™ has a very aggressive strategy for product research & development. The right product strategy is important to the success of the networker. Product strategy should have a two-fold focus. First, you need a flagship product that is somewhat exclusive, effective and a “door opener.” The more exclusive the flagship product is the easier it is for the grassroots distributor to make a sale. The more effective the products are the higher the retention rate will be. Once the hype wears off, effectiveness is paramount. Although initially, programs build faster with a small focused line of products, eventually diversification can be important for transfer buying. 4Life™’s flagship product, Transfer Factor Plus, represents a complete new paradigm in this industry. With transfer factor, we have an exclusive product that is unique, highly effective and has the potential for a very broad market appeal.
In the network marketing industry, Transfer Factor is unique in that it has a very broad and diversified foundation of research. Scientists from more than 70 nations over a 50 year period have labored in unlocking the wonders of transfer factors. Transfer Factor is widely endorsed by medical doctors and is listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference in the USA. Our company has a full-time research and product development division, staffed by world-renowned microbiologists. Our company manufactures the highest quality of products according to very strick standards.
Compensation Strategy
Success for the company does not always equal success for the networker. How the proceeds are proportioned will determine the boundaries of your success. Traditionally, companies have placed the majority of the commissions deep within the pay structure so that they do not have to pay out the full potential of the plan, or pay it quickly. This practice has led to an industry-wide attrition problem that undermines the viability of the industry. Traditional programs pay out five and ten percents for the first six or seven levels. With these percentages, it requires 10-15 purchasers in your organization for you to break-even on your qualifying purchase. This equation guarantees that 85% of your distributors will never get into profit. Since this is a percentage factor, the problem only worsens as the organization gets larger.
In reaction to the flaws in traditional pay plans, a number of companies have placed too much money in the front end of the program. This imbalance of investment has lead to other challenges that have threatened the security of these programs. Be sure to examine a complete analysis in my synopsis “The Science Behind the Pay Plan“, and “Cold Facts Exposed” found on the Compensation Plan link.
The “cards are stacked” against the majority of distributors. Our company provides the most balanced compensation program in the industry. Balance is the key to success. Our company has taken a revolutionary approach, paying a 25% fast start bonus with a permanent 25% second level bonus. In our company, it only requires four purchasers to break-even instead of the traditional 10-15 purchasers. This approach will have a major impact on attrition, ensuring a long-term residual income as well as access to an immediate income, allowing you to build your business with the profits that it generates, instead of with your paycheck, credit cards, or your savings. Our company has created a balanced pay plan that is fair and equitable.
Credibility and Company Support
Our company provides an unusual amount of support for its distributors. The toll-free messages and conference calls are very powerful. The technological support provided by our company is state-of-the-art. Our company has been able to attract a great number of renowned medical specialists. Distributors can “ride” on this credibility wave, which will have a dramatic effect on your capacity to attract networkers and leaders throughout the industry. The company opportunity has attracted a great number of network marketing leaders that will add to the overall credibility of the opportunity. As the industry observes the “tidal wave” of leadership growth, the momentum will build. If you act now you can be in front of the “tidal wave!”
Upline Support and Training
In spite of a great product, pay plan and company, very few marketers can become successful without effective upline support and training. In 1975 Mike Akins formed Professional Networkers, a full-time staff of experienced consultants to train and service his downline partners. Over the years this staff has grown to 30+ full-time networkers. Can you image the impact of having 30+ experienced leaders focused on assisting each and every member of your organization? Mike and Professional Networkers provide training and support that is unparalleled in this industry. Mike was recently referred to as “The Greatest Networker in the World” by one of the top trade publications in this industry. Check out the link “Why Professional Networkers”.
