The Best Medicinal Herb You Can Take

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

By Marty Meshek Six reasons to add Cayenne to your diet. “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than anything else.” Dr. Richard Shulze. Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. Many herbalists believe Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom. Cayenne has been used for centuries as a medicine. 1. Cayenne supplies nutrients and is considered a Superfood. It is a very high source of vitamin A, C and B-Complexes.It is also rich in calcium and potassium. 2. Cayenne helps the entire digestive system. It has been used for cramping pains and gas. It is great for constipation and helps with elimination. Cayenne can help rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines. It aids assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessary for good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins. All this becomes very significant when we realize that the digestive system plays the most important role in mental, emotional and physical health, as it is through the digestive system that the brain, glands, muscles and every other part of the body are fed and cleansed. Chili peppers like cayenne have a bad–and undeserved–reputation for contributing to stomach ulcers. Not only do they not cause ulcers, these hot peppers may help prevent them by killing bacteria you may have ingested, while powerfully stimulating the cells lining the stomach to secrete protective buffering juices that prevent ulcer formation. The use of cayenne pepper is actually associated with a reduced risk of stomach ulcers. 3. Pain. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in Cayenne. Capsaicin dulls pain sensations by interrupting the chemical messages sent to pain-sensing nerves. Over-the-counter topical creams, such as Zostrix and Dolorac, contain capsaicin as an active ingredient. These applications are used to relieve pain caused by muscle spasms, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, shingles, diabetic neuropathy, and even phantom pain caused by amputation. Capsaicin cream is well established as a modestly helpful pain-relieving treatment for post-herpetic neuropathy (the pain that lingers after an attack of shingles) peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain that occurs most commonly as a side effect of diabetes, but may occur with HIV as well as other conditions), nerve pain after cancer surgery and arthritis pain. 4. Improved circulation. There is no other herb which increases your blood flow faster than cayenne. Cayenne moves blood. It is a circulatory tonic and helps improve circulation. It is thought that cayenne helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, thus promoting a healthy vascular system. Cayenne and other red chili peppers have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and platelet aggregation, while increasing the body’s ability to dissolve fibrin, a substance integral to the formation of blood clots. Cultures where hot peppers like cayenne are used liberally have a much lower rate of heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism. Capsaicin is also a natural expectorant, and helps thin mucus, allowing you to expel it more easily. For this reason capsaicin is often included in home remedies for cough, and can be helpful when combined with other medicines as a treatment for pneumonia. If you suffer from cold feet, try cayenne. 5. Metabolism booster. More blood means more oxygen racing through your body. This means more energy! Lose Weight!All that heat you feel after eating hot chili peppers takes energy–and calories to produce. Even sweet red peppers have been found to contain substances that significantly increase thermogenesis (heat production) and oxygen consumption for more than 20 minutes after they are eaten. It is no wonder cayenne is included in many diet and weight loss products! 6. It makes other herbs work better! When people ask Dr. Schulze, “What are the 10 most important herbs to have in the home?” He tells them, “At the top of the list is cayenne pepper, because it will make the other 9 work better.” Cayenne synergistically works to improve all the other herbs and nutrients you are taking in. It is recommended that the cayenne powder be used, as opposed to capsules. It is believed that you are only getting a small part of the potential effect of cayenne pepper by taking it in capsules. When you put cayenne in your mouth, your stomach secretes digestive juices before the cayenne ever gets there. So when the cayenne gets down there, your stomach is ready for it.But if you swallow a capsule, your tongue tastes nothing. A capsule goes down in your stomach, and your stomach notices nothing, at first. Then, 5 minutes later the gelatin bursts, and you have a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in your stomach and your body is shocked. You surprised it. What is going on is that some of cayenne’s healing action occurs right in your mouth. As cayenne touches your tongue, the cayenne absorbs in seconds and nerve endings send signals throughout the body - sending waves of fresh blood throughout your body. I advise clients to start their day with a half teaspoon of cayenne in 8-10 ounces of luke warm water. (Not water from the hot faucet because that contains sediment from the bottom of your hot water heater. Heat water on the stove in a pan or tea pot.) Drink 10-20 ounces of water the first twenty minutes you are awake. This will do more for your body than that cup of coffee!

Cause Based Marketing As A Low-Cost High-Impact Marketing Strategy

Friday, March 7th, 2008

By Darrell Berg-Smith Did you ever ask yourself Why should someone buy from me and not from my competitors? If not, you should consider how your offering is different from those of the many competitors who are vying for the same customers as you are. One of the ways to make your business stand out from the crowd is to link your business with charity work and non-profit public service. Everybody is chasing after the all-mighty buck, but only a few firms really do more than pay lip service to social service. Lets take a look at how charity work can help your firm as well as the wider society around it. 1. It will give your business an extra edge As mentioned above, when you become involved in social work in a significant way, then you begin to stand out from the crowd. It gives you that something special, which may be the difference when your potential customer makes up her mind and decides which firm to go with. I have had customers confide to me that one of the reasons that they chose to do business with my firm is that they know that some of their money will be allocated to charity. 2. It increases your credibility Credibility and trust are vital if you are going to sell anything. If someone is going to part with their scarce resources they want to be sure that they are doing business with the right people. When you show that your firm is doing something meaningful for society in addition to the normal work of making money, then you and your whole team are viewed in another light. 3. Charity work is inexpensive It doesnt take any money to set aside part of your website to explain your companys participation in charitable activities. Similarly, it doesnt cost you anything to mention your charitable activities along with your primary information in other media. Messages in your firms internal bulletins and media are likewise easy and inexpensive to implement. 4. It helps you to convince people whom you would otherwise not reach Charity work appeals to the nobler side of human nature, and, believe it or not, deep down inside of every one of us is the desire to do something that is good. When you get involved in charitable work you will reach civic minded individuals who are oftentimes community leaders and prominent in social, economic and political sectors of society. It might take you years of normal business activity to make contact with people like that and in fact, you might, like most people, never connect with them. 5. It lifts the morale of your staff and your clients High morale is one of the intangible factors that can be the difference between great success and mediocrity and even complete failure. Your team will in fact become a team when it works not only for financial gain but also for civic betterment. Your customers will also feel good about the charitable aspect of your company and will be more likely to refer you to others. 6. It builds your legacy to society A successful financier told me recently, In a hundred years who will remember the hotels that I built? But, they will still be attending and benefiting from the university that I am now helping. We have to take care of our core business, no doubt, but we should also have an eye on leaving a lasting mark on the world around us. What we do for ourselves dies with us….but what we do to improve our society will last forever. So, take a look at your marketing strategy and do whatever you can to incorporate charitable activity into your overall plan of action. You, your company and society will be the winners. Work Goal The foolish work for money, Not other values, so they get only money. The clever work for improvement, They gain success and money. The wise work for goodness and charity, They receive friends, success, money, And happiness.

How To Be A Fabulous Flirter

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

By Peter Portero For some people it just comes naturally, that tilt of the head and bat of the eye. But for those of us without natural flirting talent, many skills of the fabulous flirter can be learned, too. Practice these moves to hone your flirting skills. First, remember most people are looking at your face. That means things like eye contact and a broad smile is important for fabulous flirting. If you’re having a genuinely good time, it’ll show in the sparkle in your eyes. Next, be aware of your body language. Crossed arms and hunched shoulders always say “stay away.” Keep your arms open or resting lightly on your knees. Lean forward to show interest. Looking disinterested or unenthusiastic will only bore everyone else. Touch is an important part of non-verbal communication, too. Most fabulous flirters use their hands to gently touch other folks. Do it when it’s most natural, such as when you’re laughing at a joke or making a suggestive comment. But don’t let your hand linger too long, either! Just a gentle pat or stroke is all you need to get the point across. The words you choose are also important when you’re flirting. Compliment the other person on their physical appearance or their sense of humor when appropriate. Always be truthful in your compliments, since most folks will know when you’re lying. Remember: don’t overdo it! Fabulous flirters don’t lay it on too thick. Instead, a small compliment or gesture every so often will tempt them into wanting more without seeming overwhelming.

Is Real Estate The Right Career For You

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

By Sally Morris The real estate business is overflowing with agents and as in most businesses only about 20% of those in the profession are making a living with it. The 20% are split into top producers,median income producers and barely scraping by producers. That is the reality, the dream is that you will make millions and do it in a few hours a week showing some property and picking up a commission check for your efforts. Maybe you haven’t been upclose and personal with a real estate professional because to the outside world that is all they have seen. The reality is that you spend twice as much money the first year than you make on Realtor fees, MLS membership,key fees, licensing courses,advertising, postage, personal website,hosting for the website,adding the MLS feed to your website, (no one will visit it without that)car expenses,gas( more expensive every day)and office fees,so plan for your first year to be a debit.Unless you have start up money. About $5,000All of the money going out is enough but what about hours spent?The average is about 60 hrs a week and yes that is weekends. There is no such thing as a 9 to 5 for a new realtor, even the ole’ pros have to work some weekends, a new raltor works most weekends. The second year is a little better, if you survive the first year in real estate you will still have ongoing expenses like the first year but you probably have a few sales in by then and at least you are not borrowing against your credit card and might even make a lttle money.The hours you put in are not any less and if you are at all successful you are probabably working more. Now that I have the negative out of the way I’ll focus on some of the positives. As a self employed individual you can easily work from home as long as you have a computer and a cell phone you can work from anywhere. There is a lady in my office that often works from a motor home.If you like the idea of being free from time clocks and can motivate yourself to work without supervision, and have some start up money real estate might just be the ticket to your success! I found a way to make it work very nicely for me. Sally Morris is Realtor and a multimillion dollar seller in South Carolina, a wife,mother,and grandmother. Sally is also an artist,& photographer.

California Limited Liability Company - An Overview

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

By Richard Chapo Many people are surprised to learn that the LLC business entity is a fairly recent phenomenon. Wyoming was the first state to legislate the creation of LLCs in 1977. Most states didnt jump on the LLC bandwagon until 1988 when the IRS classified the LLC as a pass through entity for tax purposes. This ruling turned LLCs into the popular monster they are today. Now every state has legislation allowing the creation of LLCs and California is no different. What Are The Advantages To Forming A LLC? The LLC business entity offers many advantages to small businesses. An LLC is going to provide a shield between your business activities and personal assets identical to a corporation. Unlike a corporation, there are far fewer corporate formalities. Instead of setting up payroll, you can take draws from the entity. You are not required to maintain a balance sheet, although this is recommended. In short, the LLC entity is all about flexibility. Should I Form A California LLC For My Business? Maybe. While LLCs offer significant flexibility to small businesses, California charges an LLC tax that can really cramp your profits. This tax is charged on your gross revenues for the “privilege of doing business in California” as an LLC. Lucky you. Depending upon your situation, forming an S corporation may be a better option in California. Additional Tax Issues California allows a single person to own an LLC. This causes problems from a tax perspective. The IRS doesnt really acknowledge the existence of LLCs owned by one person. The IRS takes the position that you must have two people to be taxes as a partnership. Accordingly, it treats single owner LLCs as sole proprietorships. The problem with this result is that you end up paying self-employment taxes. While LLC structures provide significant flexibility, the structure is not always the best choice for a small business. Make sure you speak with competent tax counsel prior to forming an LLC for your business.

Feng Shui Your Relationships to Prevent Break-Ups

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

By Kathryn Weber How to spot feng shui harmful to relationships Relationships, like technology, are becoming more complicated all the time. There are so many factors to consider in relationships today that didn’t come into play in years past. Nowadays, the woman may be the breadwinner and it may be the man who stays at home with the kids. What hasn’t changed, though, is the importance and the need for close, secure relationships. We often use relationships continue to define us. We seek out that all-perfect-soul-mate connection with that one true love. We also work to make close and unbreakable connections with our children, parents, friends, and siblings. It’s the connections that sustain us during times of trouble and when there are problems. That’s what makes every relationship — from romantic to familial — crucial. They are our lifelines in life’s stormy waters. But what happens when relationships aren’t so smooth? Or, when unexplainable change begins to occur in relationships? That’s when it is time to look at your environment to see if there is something that could be causing friction in your dealings with those you care about. Fortunately, feng shui has a number of methods for making an environmental diagnosis of problems in relationships. Check some of these ideas below to see if your relationships might be suffering — or if there is feng shui potential for a break-up. It’s worth looking into because we never want to see our relationships suffer, or worse, be lost altogether. 1. Is someone missing in your home? In feng shui, the northwest is the sector of the man and the southwest is the sector of the woman. If either sector is missing, it is possible that either the man or the woman is also missing, such as being away at work all the time. One couple had the northwest corner of the home missing and the husband was always traveling or working overtime. One they moved to a new house, the husband was at home nights and their marriage was saved. 2. Is there a toilet in the man or woman sector?Having a toilet in either the northwest or southwest corners of your home can create problems in the relationship. Either there will be fatigue or ill health, or the man or woman will be overworked and underappreciated. If this is the case in your home, be sure to boost the southwest or northwest corner of the living room to lift the energy of the person in question. Then, make certain that the bathrooms in these sectors have been handled appropriately (i.e., a plant in the southwest corner bathroom, or blue colors in the northwest bathroom). This will keep the negative toilet energy from impacting that person. 3. Are there problems with the whole family?Check the east sector of the house and the east corner of the living room. The east is the sector of family relationships. If, for instance, there is a toilet in the east corner of the house, be sure to place red items in here or paint the room red. Or, you can decorate in white and metal elements. Reds and metal colors exhaust the negative energy of the toilet when it is in the east sector. If there is a fireplace, then this will exhaust the relationships maybe through frequent arguments. If you have one of these, put a picture of water over the fireplace to drown the fire that might be exhausting your family feelings. 4. If children are unhappy look west.The west sector is the sector of the children. If there are water elements in this area, such as a shower or bathroom, it can cause problems and difficulties with the children. Increase earth elements in the home, such as by placing vases or beautiful stones in the west corner of the living room to boost the children. Likewise, you may also wish to add metal elements as well, such as metal vases or sculpture. If there is a kitchen or a fireplace, again, the water is helpful, but so are earth elements, such as globes, maps, vases, or stones. 5. Your house shape could be the culprit.Many houses are irregularly shaped and have missing sectors. This can create problems with household members — particularly if the man or woman or children’s sectors are missing. Try to regularize the house and boost the missing sectors of your house by activating those sectors in the living room. For a missing southwest sector (romance, marital happiness, woman), northwest sector (man, breadwinner), or west sector (children, creativity) add a globe. Globes are great “anchors” for the southwest, northwest, and west sectors. 6. Check your heart — or center — sector.The heart sector is a critical piece of the relationship puzzle in feng shui. Without a strong center sector, health, wealth, and relationships can all suffer. Many homes are built with an open center. This creates a “hole in the heart” of the home, and can cause heartbreak and divorce as well as bankruptcy. Double this if the home has a tree or plants growing in the center sector. The center sector is an earth sector. Plants — and especially trees — destroy earth and may have played a pivotal role in the break-up of Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt. This was also a key element in a home that was designed by one couple. Going with a typical Spanish style home, they had a courtyard in the middle with a large fountain and big trees. This not only created a divorce, it also created bankruptcy. Although beautiful, this house was not worth the heartache it created. If the house has a kitchen in the center, it can create severe disagreements and heated arguments. In this case, water colors, such as blue and black should be placed here as well as other water elements, such as an aquarium or urn of water. If a bathroom is in the center, then there should be a plant motif or colors (greens and browns) used here.
