We keep our prices lower then multi-level companies to ensure high volume sales for you and your group while creating costumer appreciation and loyalty. In effect you are forming a buying group.

Buying Groups are individual dealers that unite together and cooperate as a single buying and marketing force. Buying groups can also be referred to as marketing groups or consortiums. Groups have the ability to discuss operating practices and talk through problems helps make their businesses stronger. Issues that can be resolved include operational strategies, delivery standards, pricing, e- commerce, and direct mail. In addition to purchasing, the group also provides its members with marketing knowledge. Negotiating competitive pricing and other marketing benefits including rebates and co- op funds are the main functions of buying groups. At the same lime, those groups are also expanding beyond the purchasing power to include other member benefits such as centralized billing and payments and e- commerce systems.

Our purpose is to offer competitive prices, leading edge products and services not normally available to individual practices.

Buying groups put their members on a level playing field with their larger competitors so that they, too can achieve attractive profits, while keeping their prices competitive.

Ethical Sourcing

Ethical consumerism is buying things that are made ethically. Generally, this means without harm to or exploitation of humans, animals or the natural environment. This can take on the following forms:

Positive buying — favoring ethical products, and businesses that operate on principles based primarily on benefit for the greater good rather than self-interest, allowing for business self-interest only for the perpetuation of doing general good outside of self.
Moral boycott — negative purchasing and company-based purchasing
Combination of above

Alternative terms are ethical purchasing, moral purchasing, ethical sourcing or ethical shopping. Users of all these terms make three common assumptions:
 

Positive buying means favoring ethical products, be they fair trade, cruelty free, organic, recycled, re-used, or produced locally. This option is arguably the most important since it directly supports progressive companies.

 

 We strive always to maintain the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct, consistent with our Company values and in compliance with both the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations. Each Associate is individually responsible for strict compliance with the policies applicable to their work. Information published on this site reflects our commitment to upholding the highest of standards in the area of ethics, corporate governance and compliance.
 

.

Promote and Sell your own way!

True to our innovative nature, we have evolved the traditional network marketing model into a more effective, broad and flexible "multi-channel marketing" model, allowing Independent Representatives to promote and market products in any way that suits their interest, personal style and available time. These include:

 

We are not an MLM

Our team compensation plan does not compensate for the “recruiting” of participants in its design. Our team plan operation, “what actually happens”, compensates participants with a percentage of net profits from actual sales of goods and services (BSMs). There is no compensation for the mere recruitment of people into the program, both in its design and operation. All compensation is directly related to the actual legitimate sale of products and services, and, thus, our company operates more like a traditional cooperative than a traditional MLM business.
 

Our team compensation plan is based completely upon the sales and volume of the materials and services sold. Eligibility to participate in Our team compensation plan is met when a distributor achieves a qualification level consistent with the parameters under a formula of calculation that is entirely performance based. Our team cannot definitively be considered a business that is governed and regulated by MLM or anti-pyramid legislation.
 

For a successful group each of the following five functions must be well executed: design, investment, recordkeeping/administration/ compliance, communication with employees and control of expenses. Using a consultant is recommended for a group plan, but necessary for a more complex one; its success is dependent upon the company's profits and the efforts the distributors make toward that goal.

We are a self-help, membership organization that chooses to pay back a significant portion of its profits to those members which helps us increase our membership rolls by promote memberships in our organization. This is a non-profit, self-help resource and networking organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in the community by uplifting, inspiring and promoting health businesses and entrepreneurship, through networking, seminars, expos, the Internet, publications, access to capital and technological support.

Some associations don't offer anything when a member refers someone to their group. We choose to do so to encourage the process and also to create added revenue to the member.

The monies paid back in our plan are not paid out to multiple people on multiple levels as in a "multi level marketing scheme" as you call them. One person receives a direct commission opportunity for referring another member.
Our organization offers a host of benefits of use to anyone, especially to someone in business today to help them better themselves in the marketplace. We also network with one another and pass on referrals to each other in whatever business we are in.

We find that working together establishes a level of synergy that benefits everyone who is involved whether they participate in our plan or not.

What all this means in a nutshell is that we are here for you. Our business is your business. By using us you will save time and money accessing information, capital and the network of people you need to succeed.

Why Should I Join As a Member?

Why not? Think about it. You'll make more money ... you'll save more money ... you'll meet more people ... you'll increase your business exposure ... you'll save time using our resources.

By joining you will be helping yourself by plugging into a network of serious-minded natural healing entrepreneurs from around the world.

As a member you will have an opportunity to network, receive and share information with just the type of people you’d want to do business with. If you're in business, then you need to play by the "The Rules" to stay current today.

Our members are self-motivated leaders who understand "group buying power" and the benefits that come from being connected.

Your membership represents to others that you've made a commitment to professionalism and service ... Its just the right thing to do and it PAYS YOU.
 

The Sales and Marketing Plan is a low risk, low start-up cost business opportunity that is open to everyone. It allows you to build your business through retailing products and sponsoring other people who, in turn, can retail products and offer the business opportunity to others. By passing your sales and marketing knowledge to your developing team, you not only build your own business network but also enable others to build one of their own.

The core of the Sales and Marketing Plan's income opportunity is the sale of quality products and services to retail customers. As your business grows, the rewards you earn grow in proportion. The Sales and Marketing Plan does not compensate anybody for simply recruiting others as Independent Business Owners.

Offering online catalogues and product information, our sites give customers unparalleled ease of access to a unique range of world-class products. We offer numerous resources, articles and tutorials to help both those new to marketing and the seasoned professional understand marketing principles and other basic marketing concepts.

The advantage of e-business to our Business Owners is that customers can always get to the information or products they require, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can order online and receive their goods by mail, special messenger, or personal delivery by their local business owner. Business Owners can monitor all of this activity online, building more efficient and cost-effective businesses that can react to modern consumer demands with speed and efficiency.

Our mission is to help clients cultivate health and wellness, physically, mentally, and emotionally, through conscious awareness, self responsibility and therapeutic support and services. Our purpose is to provide quality, professional, inspirit and wholistic healthcare services, for those striving for optimal health and wellness.

The pharmaceutical industry has nothing with which to counter the scientific strength of our independent research and the moral integrity of our non-profit activities. It therefore increasingly uses people who represent its interests in the media, in medicine and in politics to halt the progress of natural healing methods by using shady legal tricks and well-funded public defamation campaigns. The pharmaceutical industry will, however, not succeed in doing this as it lacks scientific arguments to support its case.

As you support our goals and our work, please play your part in bringing to a conclusion as soon as possible this conflict between doing ‘business with disease’ and freeing people to be healthy - in the interest of millions of people throughout the world.  True health reform will only take place with a patient-centered holistic approach to health. Our patient strategy is focused on enabling you to deliver solutions directly to patients and their families that will positively affect their interactions with your organization and provide the consistent, high-quality experience they want.

Our patient-centered solutions include: Web-based personalized tools and treatment plans that support patients in managing their conditions and lead to healthier outcomes
 

The mentoring program is open to our mentor level distributors and is based on the study of medical and spiritual videos and books, also the materials presented on our website, as well as participation in our forum discussions and email contact with an experienced and trained teacher who is an active companion in our mentoring program. Through periodic exchange of emails our distributors can receive answers to questions arising from their studies, as well as further instruction and suggestions for their spiritual training and healing practice (including access to teachings and practice that may not appear on our website and also including business training and support). If you are interested in our mentoring program or have questions about it, please contact us.

 

'SUPPORT SPECIALIST IN HERBAL PHARMACY AND WELLNESS INFORMATICS'

We believe that every interaction we have with others is an energy exchange. When we offer ourselves, our services, or our energies to others, it is important that there be an energy exchange. We need to learn to honor ourselves. For example, a teacher and healer who offers their services for free, will create an imbalance of energy exchange. Giving of oneself and receiving nothing in return, for extended periods of time, is very unhealthy (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) and leads to burnout. We are not suggesting that one approach life with the attitude of "what's in it for me?" However, giving without an exchange teaches the receiver nothing and robs the giver of fair exchange. Even miracles have value. No miracle ever took place anywhere without equal reciprocity – equal exchange. If people are not ready to reciprocate empathetic sacrifice with a gift toward the Divine Natural Order of equal magnitude as what they expect the Divine Natural Order to do for them, it just won’t work, period. We are talking about true and substantial commitment. If people want a “miracle,” people need to be ready to pay the price of a “miracle,” with all the respect required. I do not pretend to give such a Sum; I only lend it to you. When you meet with another honest Man in similar Distress, you must pay me by lending this Sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the Debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with another opportunity. This does not always take the form of money. We are not talking only about money or donation. Good and services were the currency of mankind in historical times. There is Bartering. Give and receive. There is balance. Jesus and his disciples gave of their time and energy for the purposes of healing and teaching. In return they were given hospitality, food, shelter, and clothing. You can also become a teacher and a healer. As a teacher and a healer you can be someone everybody needs. You can also spread God's love and truth. When your reason for doing so is meaningful enough, you can bear any burden and prevail through any challenge. When you know why, you'll have what it takes to work through how. If you have a sense that something is too complicated, that merely means that you don't have a compelling enough reason to figure it out. Know why you seek to understand, and that understanding will surely come. Before beginning any endeavor, take the time to be completely clear with yourself about the reason why. Solidly connecting with the why will activate skills, capabilities and effectiveness that you may not have even known you had. Whether you seek to motivate yourself or others, a fundamental, essential part of that motivation is knowing why. Without a reason, all the abilities, opportunities, efforts and resources in the world will yield nothing of any value. Purpose is what makes possibilities come to life. Keep reminding yourself why, in rich and colorful detail, and you will find a way to do whatever you intend to do. Before you even think about how to proceed, make sure you clearly know why. After that, you'll begin moving forward faster and more reliably than you ever could have thought possible. You see, if you could teach your apprentices to simply be unassuming of their knowledge, then they can learn and work. And yet, the ego moves into the place of love and kicks love out. let's say. You go in, you talk to them. You ask them a question that comes to you from your body-mind, from your spirit. That evokes a response. They may not even know what they are saying. But the Great Spirit speaks to you through them, through their knowledge, that perhaps they don't even know they're in touch with. It changes them. It gives them something, and it gives you a magic moment that enters you and brings you light.

Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is using aromatherapy to help lessen a patient's discomfort following surgery.


Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a conventional doctor.


Whole medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. Often, these systems have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States. Examples of whole medical systems that have developed in Western cultures include homeopathic medicine and naturopathic medicine. Examples of systems that have developed in non-Western cultures include traditional traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

Mind-Body Medicine

Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms. Some techniques that were considered CAM in the past have become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy). Other mind-body techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.

Biologically Based Practices

Biologically based practices in CAM use substances found in nature, such as herbs, foods, and vitamins. Some examples include dietary supplements, herbal products, and the use of other so-called natural but as yet scientifically unproven therapies (for example, using shark cartilage to treat cancer).

Manipulative and Body-Based Practices

Manipulative and body-based practices in CAM are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or more parts of the body. Some examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and massage.

Energy Medicine

Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the human body. Some forms of energy therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands in, or through, these fields. Examples include qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch.

THE NEED FOR NATURAL HEALING INFORMATICS SUPPORT SPECIALISTS!

Natural healing, often referred to as "alternative" "complementary" or "integrative" medicine covers a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches and therapies. It refers to treatments and healthcare practices not taught widely in medical schools or not generally used in hospitals. As these healing methods continue to become integrated with mainstream healthcare, the outlook for careers in the natural healing field remains strong.

Essential Statistics
It is exciting to note the increasing acceptance and visibility of alternative and complementary forms of healing:

Management  Library

cosmetics dollar volume reaches $24.7 billion.

Independents in Decline
As the chart shows, independent pharmacies were the only practice sector to show a decline in number of prescriptions dispensed since 1992. The number has declined every year, from 790 million in 1992 to 730 million in 1997. Chain stores continued to lead in volume, dispensing 1.1 billion Rxs, or almost 40% of prescriptions. Mail order growth surpassed that of food and mass merchandisers.

A $106 Billion Market
The total dollar volume for prescription and OTC drugs and diagnostic agents was more than $106 billion in 1997. The market for prescription drugs alone was over $83 billion, a gain of 16% over 1996. According to IMS Health, a market research firm, “the substantial rate of growth in the industry continues to be driven by non-price factors.? New products and line extensions accounted for more than half of the real sales growth. IMS notes that prices for branded pharmaceuticals rose by 4.3% in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter in 1997. There was a decrease of 5.1% in generic prices. Number of prescriptions approaches three billion. The number of prescriptions dispensed in the noninstitutional pharmacy market will be approximately 2.8 billion in 1998, or more than 11 prescriptions for every person in the U.S. There were 2.6 billion prescriptons dispensed in 1997, a growth of 5% over 1996. Growth has been fueled by an aging population, new drug introductions, and an increasing number of people receiving a drug benefit in their health plans. The chart shows the number of prescriptions dispensed in five practice settings between 1992 and 1997.

Third Party Coverage
Third party coverage has been a big factor in the market’s growth. In 1997, third party plans paid for 62% of prescriptions. An increasing number of employer health plans are now covering prescriptions. In fact, they helped pay for 47% of dispensed drugs. Another source of growth is drug coverage under Medicare and Medicaid.

 

The primary goal of the Support Specialist is to establish a New Global Healthcare System that can be implemented simply and economically in any country, at the local level and right up to the level of national public health policy. Based on scientific breakthroughs in the areas of vitamin research and cellular health, it is already possible that cardiovascular disease, cancer, Aids and other common diseases will be largely unknown in future generations if this New Global Healthcare System is implemented now.

This primary goal has particular relevance to people in the developing world where the integration of natural health approaches into public health strategies will significantly improve the health and lives of millions of people, who may otherwise be unable to access any other forms of affordable healthcare.

Indisputably the turn from the second millennium to the third has coincided with worldwide changes in healthcare. Each day more and more patients and health professionals are taking advantage of the fact that most common diseases can be effectively prevented, and treated naturally, by vitamins and other natural therapies.

Health improvements achieved with essential nutrients are so superior to conventional medical approaches for cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Aids and other common diseases that major health insurance companies in Europe are now reimbursing the cost of these remedies.
