Have you been looking for that great new business opportunity?Yes, it is official! Zrii just unveiled their NEW Chopra endorsed weight loss shake at the RSA in Anaheim.And guess what?Over 10 people have already been testing it and it has produced insane results. Some have lost over 30 lbs in less than five weeks! Others have lost 20 lbs in four weeks.It’s truly amazing.And to think YOU could lose just as much weight by simply enjoying a very healthy shake every day sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it?Well, you’d better start believing real soon… cause, this new product is HOT! When Zrii released it at RSA they had over 4000 bottles of the stuff sell in under 30 minutes.And that’s just the beginning …Wait until the rest of the world finds out about this “top of the line” tasty weight loss shake endorsed by the highly esteemed Chopra Center which is made with NO synthetic ingredients or preservatives.Getting excited?Imagine waking up 4-6 weeks later looking a lot thinner, sexier, and more energetic. How would that make you feel? Would you have more confidence? Could you bring out that bikini you’ve had tucked away all those years and wear it with pride?Or maybe you’re marriage might be reinvigorated (come on fellas, you know what I’m talking about).Yes, this is totally possible. And doing it has never been easier with Zrii’s new weight loss shake.What do you think will happen when others around you SEE the new YOU? Don’t you think they’d want to know how you lost your weight? Hmmm …Do you hear Cha-ching?That’s the sound of money going into your bank account every single month because YOU are a walking advertisement and people will chase after you desperately trying to find your little secret – Which of course, when you share with them this NEW weight loss shake called Nutriiveda they will THANK YOU as they whip out their credit card to order some.Think I’m exaggerating?Actually, over 85% of men and women in North America have weight loss on their minds. It is a conversation that is ALREADY going on in their minds.You now have access to the premium weight loss shake on the market – the only one endorsed by Chopra himself, and can actually feel good about referring it to everyone you know.It doesn’t get any better than this.… actually, I lied … it does get better – way better!Not only can Nutriiveda help you lose weight but it contains ALL the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids your body needs on a daily basis! Check this out. Nutriiveda contains:• Vitamin A• Vitamin B-1• Vitamin B-2• Vitamin B-3• Vitamin B-5• Vitamin B-6• Vitamin B-12• Vitamin C• Vitamin D-3• Vitamin E• Folic Acid• Biotin• Calcium Lactate• Potassium Gluconate• Magnesium Oxide• Zinc Gluconate• Chromium Yeast• Molybdenum Yeast• Iodine Yeast• Selenium Yeast• Manganese Yeast• Whey Protein IsolateAnd remember, it is 100% natural- made without synthetic ingredients or preservatives. It doesn’t have all those gums that other shakes have which make it chalky and hard to drink.I know what you’re thinking… do they show the actual amount of vitamins per serving on the label? Yes!Listen, this is the REAL deal. This puts Zrii ahead of all their competitors. This just changed the rules of the game. I’m serious … watch out because Zrii is going to attract tens of thousands of new distributors and customers overnight (and a lot of them could be in your downline).Get Paid To Lose Weight!Zrii has a contest going right now where you could win $5000 just by taking Nutriiveda and shedding some pounds.Hey, what a fun way of losing weight. Make it a competition. And don’t worry … it’s based on multiple criteria (everyone has a real chance of winning).$5000 is a lot of money. Especially when you get to do something worthwhile in order to be eligible to win. For more details on the contest please visit &lt;a title="http://www.zrii.com/" href="http://www.zrii.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.zrii.com/&lt;/a&gt;.Okay, maybe you’re a little skeptical. I know this sounds too good to be true.You want proof that this new weight loss shake really does work, right?And that video only shows a handful of people who have taken Nutriiveda. There are many more with similar stories.Look, we all have excuses of why we are overweight. I know what it’s like. We keep telling ourselves that we will lose 5 or 10 pounds but it never seems to happen. We sign up for a gym membership costing around $700/year and only ever use it a few times.Or we buy the “new” exercise machine making a promise to ourselves that this time it will be different… but it ends up being tucked away in a corner in the basement.Sometimes if we get really serious we try to change the way we eat. At first, it seems to be going really good. Then, we get invited over to a friends house where they serve steak, potatoes, and pie for dessert. We tell ourselves it’s a “one time deal”. Except it keeps happening over and over again.Then as we go to bed at night the bathroom mirror reminds us of our failure. We haven’t changed one bit… despite all our good intentions we never seem to get rid of that dreaded fat.You know what I’m talking about right?Well, I’ve got good news for you! It’s NOT your fault. You know why? Because it’s not you, it’s your metabolism!Yep, that’s right. Think about it. When you were younger did you ever have a problem with losing weight? Don’t you remember when you could eat like a pig and never even worry about it going straight to your hips?But, then as you grew older it got harder and harder to keep the weight off. That’s because your metabolism slowed down. It’s really not your fault.Guess what?Nutriiveda is designed to speed up your metabolism. That means your metabolism is working to shed your fat while you work, eat, play, and sleep. Pretty cool, huh?But, what if you are in shape and don’t really need to lose weight; what can Nutriiveda do for you?First, let me congratulate you! You are truly a rare person in today’s society. Nutriiveda is designed to help healthy, in-shape people (such as athletes) maintain their current weight whiling enhancing muscular strength and tone.Don’t ask me how the formulators do it. They are geniuses. They’ve thought of everything!Oh yeah, I almost forgot. There are two flavors: Chocolate and Vanilla. The shake is in powder form and is packaged in a beautiful Zrii container that displays the Chopra Center endorsement with pride on the side.I personally like taking the Vanilla mixed with banana, blueberries, and using a milk of your choice (i.e. soy milk, rice milk, or cows milk). It tastes amazing!The chocolate one is great for on the go. You just add a little milk, shake it up and bingo- you have a great tasting shake ready to go to work for you.I also want to mention that apparently the chocolate shake has the highest ORAC value of any other product on the market (or so I'm told)! So if you want a high dose of anti-oxidants then you’ve come to the right place.Should You Still Take Zrii?Of course! This does NOT replace Zrii. In fact, the doctors said that it will enhance the effects of Zrii in your body. The best time to take Zrii is an hour after you’ve had the shake.Can You Order Nutriiveda On Its Own?Yes. Although, as mentioned above, it is recommended to take Zrii in conjunction with the shake to give optimal health.Nutriiveda is available now to order. You can get more details about the NutriiVeda on the website below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/lonqan"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/lonqan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-4928267243155024770?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/4928267243155024770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-zrii-weight-loss-shake.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/4928267243155024770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/4928267243155024770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-zrii-weight-loss-shake.html' title='NEW Zrii Weight Loss Shake'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr06KXD-FMI/AAAAAAAAAC4/qFiP82e7Amk/s72-c/Zrii.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-1543888021534057804</id><published>2009-01-05T11:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:18:48.294-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fruit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liver'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight managment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haritaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ayurveda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kidney'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eyes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lowering cholesterol'/><title type='text'>What is Haritaki</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SWJoHn6baJI/AAAAAAAAABw/uZWI43Rxebc/s1600-h/t3_ing_haritaki.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287903392668805266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SWJoHn6baJI/AAAAAAAAABw/uZWI43Rxebc/s200/t3_ing_haritaki.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;All seven types of Haritaki fruit have their own unique look, flavor and benefits as well as anthraquinone-like (laxative) chemicals, tannins and astringents. &lt;a id="j_id53" href="http://www.zrii.com/zrii/index.xhtml"&gt;Haritaki&lt;/a&gt; fruit is part of triphala, the three-fruit formula in Ayurveda. It is generally administered in triphala form rather than by itself to draw upon its tonic effects.&lt;br /&gt;Haritaki has been shown to nourish tissues, particularly the heart, liver, and kidney. It is used to treat diseases of the eye (both internally and externally). In addition, Haritaki, by blocking the ability to utilize sugars, may help to eliminate bacteria and have cholesterol-lowering qualities.&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing what a small little fruit can do to help us with our every day illnesses and even with our struggles with weight lose. I personally have suffered all my life with weight problems and could never find anything to work for me until I got into the natural ways of helping my body function. You can see some of the other blogs I have written below and please check out my blog that tells you how I have been making my dreams come true.

The plants traveled beyond Asia centuries ago and today are grown to some extent in Russia, northern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the southwestern United States. Jujube seedlings, inferior to the Chinese cultivars, were introduced into Europe at the beginning of the Christian era and carried to the U. S. in 1837. It wasn't until 1908 that improved Chinese selections were introduced by the USDA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jujube is known to calm nerves. By grounding the fruit to a powder, small amounts can be used to promptly reduce the effects of stress and purify the blood. In addition, the compound called Ziziphin found in Jujube leaves can suppress the sweet taste in humans and Jujube fruit helps soothe the throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing what things that we find here on earth that can help us with healing, illnesses and even weight management. I am starting to believe that if we do enough research and study on these wonderful fruits and herbs we can learn a lot from the Ancients and their 5,000 years of naturopathic medicine .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless,&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-4618709208225263673?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/4618709208225263673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2009/01/jujube.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/4618709208225263673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/4618709208225263673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2009/01/jujube.html' title='The Jujube'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SV1CwsfmGhI/AAAAAAAAABo/5DyfDDZVShE/s72-c/t3_ing_jujube.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-6091391939199142872</id><published>2008-12-31T14:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:20:07.193-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fruit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ayurveda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amalaki'/><title type='text'>What Is Amalaki Fruit?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVvxXa5g2JI/AAAAAAAAABg/fO1HbmVit3A/s1600-h/t3_ing_amalaki.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286083972309244050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVvxXa5g2JI/AAAAAAAAABg/fO1HbmVit3A/s200/t3_ing_amalaki.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What Is Amalaki Fruit? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Central to the vast science of Ayurveda is one little green fruit with a nutritional profile that sits in a class of its own. Amalaki (emblica officinalis) grows at the base of the pristine Himalayan mountain range in northern India. In its extensive collection of thousands of fruits and herbs, Ayurveda describes Amalaki as the single most important 'rasayana' or rejuvenating agent for promoting cellular rejuvenation and detoxification, immune function and increased vitality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backed by a 5000-year-old science, Amalaki has one of the richest and most documented legacies of any fruit known today. It has been revered in India as the "Great Rejuvenator," the "Nurse" and the "Fruit of Immortality" for centuries due to its numerous nutritional properties and its ability to nourish the body on all levels. The Amalaki fruit even has its own holiday in which families share a meal under its tree while giving thanks for the strength and luster promoted by the fruit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to being heralded for its youth-promoting and rejuvenative qualities, classical Ayurvedic texts describe Amalaki as a potent anti-inflammatory, digestive aid, elixir for the skin and hair, and metabolic enhancer. Over the past 50 years, Amalaki has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies, which further validate what Ayurveda has known for over 5,000 years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What nutritional components does Amalaki contain?&lt;br /&gt;Unlike many superfoods being introduced today, the chemical profile of Amalaki cannot be limited to one star ingredient or beneficial compound. Instead, research has discovered an unparalleled spectrum of powerful anti-oxidants, polyphenols, tannic acids and bioflavanoids. Amalaki also contains a high concentration of amino acids, trace minerals and other beneficial phytonutrients.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amalaki contains the potent phenolic combination of ellagic acid, gallic acid and emblicanin A+B. Together these polyphenols are important for reducing cellular and oxidative stress, destroying immune-damaging free radicals and supporting the overall detoxification of the body. The bioflavanoids, rutin and quercetin, and powerful enzyme superoxide dismutase also contribute to the overall anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and youth-promoting qualities of this remarkable fruit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to these anti-oxidants, the Amalaki fruit is widely considered to contain the most concentrated source of Vitamin C. The fruit is also host to rare 'mighty-molecules' known as ascorbagens. Part of the tannin family, ascorbagens create a protective bond around the Vitamin C molecules, making Amalaki's source of Vitamin C more heat stable and bio-available than synthetic varieties.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I do believe we have alot to learn from the science of Ayurveda and how it works. I think natural ways of taking care of our bodies can be just as effective as Pharmaceuticals (bio-chemicals) .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;God Bless,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rebekah &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-6091391939199142872?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/6091391939199142872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-is-amalaki-fruit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/6091391939199142872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/6091391939199142872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-is-amalaki-fruit.html' title='What Is Amalaki Fruit?'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVvxXa5g2JI/AAAAAAAAABg/fO1HbmVit3A/s72-c/t3_ing_amalaki.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-8338668956167470922</id><published>2008-12-30T11:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:21:22.667-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ayurveda'/><title type='text'>Tulsi-Ayurveda Herb</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVp_e70v_TI/AAAAAAAAABY/hkZhOlwB1Uk/s1600-h/faq1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 162px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285677282104442162" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVp_e70v_TI/AAAAAAAAABY/hkZhOlwB1Uk/s200/faq1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What is Tulsi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tulsi, also spelled Tulasi and referred to as Holy Basil, is an aromatic plant and, beyond its many culinary purposes, has particular spiritual relevance as well. Some Hindus consider a household incomplete without a &lt;a href="http://www.zrii.com/zrii/index.xhtml"&gt;Tulsi&lt;/a&gt; plant and still others provide structural spaces within the home especially for their Tulsi. In other spiritual practices, Tulsi is used to make necklaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the health benefits of Tulsi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tulsi is rich in antioxidant and renowned for its restorative powers, Tulsi has several benefits:&lt;br /&gt;· Relieves stress / adaptogen&lt;br /&gt;· Bolsters immunity&lt;br /&gt;· Enhances stamina&lt;br /&gt;· Provides support during cold season&lt;br /&gt;· Promotes healthy metabolism&lt;br /&gt;· A natural immuno-modulator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Modern scientific research offers impressive evidence that &lt;a href="http://www.organicindia.com/organic-tulsi-teas.php"&gt;Tulsi&lt;/a&gt; reduces stress, enhances stamina, relieves inflammation, lowers cholesterol, eliminates toxins, protects against radiation, prevents gastric ulcers, lowers fevers, improves digestion and provides a rich supply of antioxidants and other nutrients. Tulsi is especially effective in supporting the heart, blood vessels, liver and lungs and also regulates blood pressure and blood sugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Believe me when I say, we have a lot to learn from the Ancients and their 5,000 years of naturopathic medicine.

It is also said to be a powerful tonic to the brain and is believed in China to improve memory. For the body, it is known to improve overall strength.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Schizandra may also help mental function and memory. It is used in many tonic formulations as an astringent, while in traditional Chinese medicine it is used to resist infections, increase skin health, and combat insomnia, coughing, and thirst. Modern Chinese research suggests that Schizandra has a protective effect and may help people with chronic illness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Western herbalists commonly recommend Schizandra for the lungs, liver and kidneys, and to help with depression due to adrenergic exhaustion. In Russia, Schizandra is used to treat eye fatigue and increase acuity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just remeber to always consult your doctor before you try anything different.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I believe that anything natural has to be good for our body's and we can do good by them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;God Bless,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rebekah &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-2135747324570462403?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/2135747324570462403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-is-schizandera.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/2135747324570462403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/2135747324570462403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-is-schizandera.html' title='What Is Schizandera'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVkIzN2hoPI/AAAAAAAAABQ/C3qI2xD-Zcc/s72-c/t3_ing_schizandra.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-7601016774668649562</id><published>2008-12-28T18:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:22:37.397-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ayurveda'/><title type='text'>Turmeric-Ayurveda Herb</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVgxOqFd5II/AAAAAAAAABI/DxY9WCrd_Wg/s1600-h/t3_ing_turmeric.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285028290604426370" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVgxOqFd5II/AAAAAAAAABI/DxY9WCrd_Wg/s200/t3_ing_turmeric.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Turmeric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Native to tropical South Asia, Turmeric—often misspelled as Tumeric—thrives in temperatures between 20 and 30 degree Celsius with plenty of rain. After a process of boiling and then drying Turmeric in hot ovens, rhizomes are extracted from it, ground into a powder and used as a spice and dye. Curcumin, its active ingredient, has a peppery flavor and smells similar to mustard. Turmeric is used in many food products and can usually be found in curry powders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Turmeric has demonstrated ability to compliment circulation and digestion. In India, it is used as an antiseptic to treat burns and cuts and Ayurvedic doctors value &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a id="j_id53" href="http://www.zrii.com/zrii/index.xhtml"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Turmeric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; for its fluoride. The United States National Institutes of Health is conducting four clinical trials to determine if curcumin is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer's and colorectal cancer. Curcumin has been used for thousands of years as a safe anti-inflammatory and may be an effective treatment for psoriasis. Finally, Turmeric has demonstrated some ability to help slow down the spread of some cancers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I am thinking that herbs are a good natural way for us to flush our systems of bad things that we put in because we trust so much in Pharmaceuticals (bio-chemicals) .

The stem extends roughly 12 inches above ground with long, narrow, ribbed, green leaves, and white or yellowish-green flowers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more than 2,500 years, ginger has been used to treat ailments and please the palate. Today the edible portion of the perennial plant is used worldwide in a variety of ways. In France they use it to flavor a liqueur and the United Kingdom produces a ginger flavored wine. In the Middle East, ginger powder is used as a spice for coffee and in the West, we use ginger to satisfy our sweet tooth in gingerbread, ginger ale, ginger snaps—even ginger candy.&lt;br /&gt;Generally ginger is used to improve digestion, absorption and assimilation. In addition, &lt;a href="http://www.zrii.com/zrii/index.xhtml"&gt;ginger&lt;/a&gt; has been used frequently for dyspepsia and colic, to ease pain from arthritis, has blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties that can help treat heart disease, and can be an effective treatment for nausea. Gingerols have shown evidence of aiding the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and have antibacterial, sedative, antipyretic, and analgesic properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ginger also is known to have at least 12 antioxidant compounds and can also help with your oxygen flow in the human body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless,&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-1786762450692516387?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/1786762450692516387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/ginger-ayurveda-herb.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/1786762450692516387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/1786762450692516387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/ginger-ayurveda-herb.html' title='Ginger-Ayurveda Herb'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/SVZ7XGpbe1I/AAAAAAAAAA4/0yQJIpUln7o/s72-c/ginger.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-7065458881074597369</id><published>2008-12-26T12:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:23:30.563-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social networking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mlm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight managment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrional supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home based business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='networking'/><title type='text'>Ayurvedic Medicine</title><content type='html'>I have been interested in ayurvedic medicine now for almost a year and the healing herbs they offer. So today I was thinking I would share what Ayurvedic Medicine is and how it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayurvedic means the science of life, and is probably&lt;br /&gt;the oldest system of healing. It encompasses a&lt;br /&gt;philosophy that is both subtle and complex. In&lt;br /&gt;treating an individual, an assessment is first made&lt;br /&gt;of metabolic body type or dosha. There are three&lt;br /&gt;doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha, and the dominance&lt;br /&gt;of one over the others determines classification.&lt;br /&gt;Doshas are blueprints, or a health profile of an&lt;br /&gt;individual, encompassing physiology, innate ten&lt;br /&gt;dencies, strengths, weaknesses, and susceptibilities&lt;br /&gt;to ill health. Once a diagnosis of the illness&lt;br /&gt;has been made, the methods of treatment may&lt;br /&gt;include cleansing the body of toxins, whether&lt;br /&gt;of an environmental, bacterial or viral nature,&lt;br /&gt;appropriate changes in diet, herbal and mineral&lt;br /&gt;preparations to rebuild and rejuvenate body tissues,&lt;br /&gt;and stress management through activities&lt;br /&gt;such as meditation, deep breathing, and sound&lt;br /&gt;therapy. The purpose is to balance the doshas&lt;br /&gt;within the individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several factors are believed to be at the basis of&lt;br /&gt;physiological imbalance and disorder. There may&lt;br /&gt;be a genetic predisposition to an illness that is&lt;br /&gt;prompted by something in the surrounding environment&lt;br /&gt;or triggered while still in the womb by&lt;br /&gt;the activities of the mother. Individuals usually&lt;br /&gt;have natural tendencies toward a particular habit&lt;br /&gt;or behavior such as alcoholism, overeating, or&lt;br /&gt;overworking. A disease may be the result of a&lt;br /&gt;congenital defect acquired during development&lt;br /&gt;in the uterus. Environmental pollutants, poor&lt;br /&gt;diet, or eating the wrong foods according to dosha&lt;br /&gt;type can cause illness; and each dosha may be&lt;br /&gt;susceptible to seasonal influences. Other conditions&lt;br /&gt;affecting health are physical and emotional&lt;br /&gt;trauma, and electrical or magnetic imbalances&lt;br /&gt;along the spinal cord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foremost characteristic of the vata metabolic&lt;br /&gt;type is changeability. People of this type are&lt;br /&gt;active, energetic, moody, imaginative, and impulsive;&lt;br /&gt;prone to erratic sleep patterns, intestinal&lt;br /&gt;problems, nervous disorders, and premenstrual&lt;br /&gt;syndrome. There is a sensitivity to cold and dry&lt;br /&gt;and their vulnerable season is autumn. Pitta types&lt;br /&gt;are predictable, aggressive, intense, efficient, articulate,&lt;br /&gt;moderate in daily habits, short-tempered,&lt;br /&gt;and impatient. They tend to perspire more and&lt;br /&gt;may be open to poor digestion, ulcers, skin&lt;br /&gt;inflammations, hemorrhoids, and heartburn. In&lt;br /&gt;summer they are sensitive to the sun and heat.&lt;br /&gt;Kapha is relaxed, stable, conservative, with a tendency&lt;br /&gt;to laziness and procrastination. They sleep&lt;br /&gt;long and move, eat, and digest food slowly. There&lt;br /&gt;is an inclination toward overweight, allergies,&lt;br /&gt;sinus, and lung congestion and they are highly&lt;br /&gt;susceptible to the cold of winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important aspect of Ayurvedic medicine is&lt;br /&gt;the categorization of food according to taste and&lt;br /&gt;other inherent properties, then using that information&lt;br /&gt;to establish the proper diet for each&lt;br /&gt;dosha. Ayurvedic medical schools often teach&lt;br /&gt;pharmacology and cooking in the same course.&lt;br /&gt;Whether a food is sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter&lt;br /&gt;or astringent, heavy or light, solid or liquid,&lt;br /&gt;dry or oily as well as its hot or cold-producing&lt;br /&gt;abilities, all have an effect on the health of an&lt;br /&gt;individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a consideration of food transformation&lt;br /&gt;once digested, for example, from sweet to&lt;br /&gt;pungent, as is the case with honey. Honey is&lt;br /&gt;sweet when eaten but once processed in the body&lt;br /&gt;becomes pungent. From a health aspect it would&lt;br /&gt;not have the affect that sweet foods do. The&lt;br /&gt;pharmacological effect of a meal can be altered&lt;br /&gt;by adding or subtracting a spice or herb. The&lt;br /&gt;Ayurvedic method of nutrition is ultimately to&lt;br /&gt;observe the reactions that different foods have on&lt;br /&gt;each patient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayurvedic medicine is very effective in treating&lt;br /&gt;metabolic, stress related, or chronic conditions&lt;br /&gt;and for relieving the deleterious effects of surgery&lt;br /&gt;and debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy.&lt;br /&gt;Many Ayurvedic herbal preparations have&lt;br /&gt;been clinically tested and documented as improving&lt;br /&gt;a wide range of health conditions. A number&lt;br /&gt;of studies have shown guggul (an extract from the&lt;br /&gt;mukul myrrh tree) to lower cholesterol. For&lt;br /&gt;example, in a study of 40 patients with high cholesterol,&lt;br /&gt;the herb was shown to reduce in a 16-&lt;br /&gt;week period, serum cholesterol levels by 21%,&lt;br /&gt;triglycerides by 27%, a 35% rise of HDL cholesterol,&lt;br /&gt;and a decrease in LDL levels.8 Guggul&lt;br /&gt;properties have an anticoagulating effect on blood&lt;br /&gt;platelets and prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidizing.&lt;br /&gt;9 Other illnesses that have responded to&lt;br /&gt;therapy in studies are metabolic and endocrine&lt;br /&gt;gland dysfunctions, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal&lt;br /&gt;diseases, mental disorders, inflammation&lt;br /&gt;of the musculoskeletal system, and the&lt;br /&gt;prevention of cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you have enjoyed what you have learned here and I will be sharing more on some of the natural healing herbs as we go and some of the foods that are not good for us as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless,&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-7065458881074597369?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/7065458881074597369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/ayurvedic-medicine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/7065458881074597369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/7065458881074597369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/ayurvedic-medicine.html' title='Ayurvedic Medicine'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-6571393181330128538</id><published>2008-12-25T08:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T08:24:01.620-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social networking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mlm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bible'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrional supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home based business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='networking'/><title type='text'>Christmas Day and The Meaning of Christmas!!</title><content type='html'>Today I am blogging on Christmas day and the meaning of Christmas. This a wonderful time of the year. So many people forget the true meaning of Christmas. People think it is only about getting up in the morning and finding what Santa left under the tree and the hussel and bussel of getting to family for more presents and dinner that they forget we have a wonderful savoir who’s name is JESUS. It was 9 years ago when I moved to Texas and I had no family here and on Christmas I was as lost as to what I was to do because I really never looked at the entire meaning of Christmas. I for the first time woke up to no presents under the tree because we didn’t have the money so it opened my eyes to realize that the true meaning of Christmas is the one and only JESUS he is really why we should celebrate this season and keep him in are thoughts without him we would not have life. As for the last 8 years every year we have a nice dinner before us and we always invite JESUS and his plate is set before us as a special guest in our home. I am so thankful to be part of the Lord Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the meaning of Christmas you ask well I am going to tell you in my closing here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ: a Christian festival marking the birth of Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;You can read the historic record of the birth of Christ can be found in Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:1-20 or you can use the link to read a on it: &lt;a href="http://www.christiananswers.net/christmas/home.html"&gt;http://www.christiananswers.net/christmas/home.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this said I would like to wish all my readers a Very Merry Christmas and be Blessed this New Year!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless,&lt;br /&gt;Rebekah&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6660819257051839068-6571393181330128538?l=rebekahewers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/feeds/6571393181330128538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-day-and-meaning-of-christmas.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/6571393181330128538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6660819257051839068/posts/default/6571393181330128538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rebekahewers.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-day-and-meaning-of-christmas.html' title='Christmas Day and The Meaning of Christmas!!'/><author><name>Rebekah E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02487322862504873905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJDzlvUCppo/Sr08gKqZb9I/AAAAAAAAADA/E-y1O4hy-mw/S220/4185_113005412424_727752424_2588245_2732931_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660819257051839068.post-8890318458437851858</id><published>2008-12-23T13:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T14:28:46.222-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mlm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight managment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrional supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home based business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='networking'/><title type='text'>How I Have Been Making My Dream Come True!</title><content type='html'>Hi my name is Rebekah, I am 43 Years old. Just a little about me!! I have been an entrepreneur most of my adult life. I have been involved with many home based businesses and I am currently working with a great team of people at Zrii LLC. I am writing this blog because like most people who have problems losing weight will try anything from pills to weight loss programs. Well I am one of those people, I have always struggled with weight loss all my life trying different things I would lose weight and then gain it right back. So really I just gave up and decided that I was always going to be overweight and never be skinny again. One day I was online and was doing some networking not really looking for anything but I ran into someone and we got to talking about health issues and he started to tell me about a product he was using and how it had stopped his RLS and cured his Gout, I was shocked at what he was saying and thought that this has to be some really great stuff. So I took the time to research the product and see what it was all about and read a couple of his blogs. I liked what I read and decided to try this product myself. It took about 30 days to really see this stuff in action. I had noticed that I had more energy, I had lost my craving for sweets, soda and I didn’t need my coffee any more. So another month went by and I noticed my rings were spinning on my fingers and my clothing was getting to big for me. Not knowing this was going to work for weight management I was impressed. I have now been using this nutrional supplement drink for 8 months and the results are wonderful. I have lost 55 pounds, a lot of inches, 3 pants sizes and 3 shirt sizes. This all has happen because I have changed up my lifestyle added exercise and I am using the nutrional supplement daily.
