			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are simple answers to questions some people have with ageLOC Vitality that I wanted to share. Since this product has been on the market, we are finding that there is a small percentage of people that may take approx 60 days to “feel” or “notice” any benefits.  It is important to know, it is still working in your body.</p>
<p>Note: For a few of you that are really interested in the detailed science, I added a recent archived webinar link that I saw with molecular biologist Rob Needleman PhD, speaking about ageLOC and what it is really doing internally. Rob specifically covers why athletes will benefit from Vitality. FYI &#8211; Rob does not work for Nu Skin, he researched the science behind ageLOC and was very impressed and decided one year ago to incorporate this into his business.</p>
<p>Question: What are the primary benefits of ageLOC™ Vitality?</p>
<ul>
<li>Promotes healthy Youth Gene Clusters (YGCs) activity associated with youthful vitality.</li>
<li>Supports three dimensions of vitality that typically decline with age — physical vigor, mental acuity, and sexual desire.</li>
<li>Raises and sustains baseline energy levels.</li>
</ul>
<p>Question: What type of benefits do we hear people reporting while taking ageLOC™ Vitality?</p>
<p>Answer: Reduced cravings for caffeine, sugar, carbs… no need for afternoon naps… no lull in productivity during the work day… more mental clarity… more creativity… better ability to focus and concentrate… better quality sleep… waking early, rested… increased energy all day long… greater sense of wellbeing… increased athletic performance… faster recover from work outs, greater endurance… increased sexual desire… and greater strength.</p>
<p>Unlike many products currently on the market, ageLOC™ Vitality is not designed to provide a quick fix or boost. Instead, it is formulated to raise and maintain a person’s baseline energy level for a long-term and sustained increase in overall vitality. This helps people avoid the ups and downs of caffeinated and high-sugar drinks and supplements.</p>
<p>What is happening with ageLOC™ is incredible … we have cornered the anti-aging market with incredible breakthroughs to help us all safely and effectively look younger and feel younger. This comes after years of research in conjunction with Stanford, LifeGen Technologies, and other anti-aging experts around the world.</p>
<p>Note that everything we do impacts gene expression (foods, stress, exercise etc.). The difference is now we understand what is happening at the genetic level and can identify the specific genes clusters that affect aging for each tissue (from years of research utilizing the findings of the human genome project). ageLOC™ technology is like a Google search into the body to identify these youth gene clusters.</p>
<p>Because of this knowledge we can produce products that are safer and more targeted than anything that has ever been available. The new vitality product is a combination of phytonutrients that we as humans have consumed for thousands of years, in a combination that can reset the gene activity of the identified genes to have a more youthful expression.</p>
<p>ageLOC™ Vitality Science is Safe, Credible and Patented.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Monty Summers and back in 2006 I was running 13 times a week for a national cross country title in Tasmania and originally I was taking just Flex and Life pak to keep my joints rolling over and maintain focus during school.</p>
<p>Unfortunately during my national race I fell very ill and could not breathe and as such I had to be pulled from the race, the biggest, but the first race I didn’t finish. Later that month, on September 1st, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (A.L.L.).</p>
<p>I was pretty oblivious to what Leukaemia actually was and when originally told all that came from my mouth was “Bugger!” I just thought it was a fancy name for a bad cold?</p>
<p>Soon after being admitted to hospital me and my family we felt it was a little dismal always mentioning Leukaemia so we renamed it Attitude Love and Laughter, followed but the motto for when the proverbial hit the fan, ‘It’s A.L.L. Good!’ We used these three words to keep things in perspective and to remember what is really important.</p>
<p>I was scheduled for 6 months of chemotherapy in the Mater Private Hospital, which wasn’t the greatest being an athletic teenager. Very quickly though I realised that Leukaemia now was a large part of my life, but not the entirety of it so I wasn’t going to let it rule me, I was going to live! This is where NU Skin came to the rescue!</p>
<p>Amongst the other vial medication/poison I was taking, it was a refreshing feeling to take the Pharmanex products, it was natural, I could feel stronger, focused and help with the nutritional side of things when the hospital food surprisingly lacked anything substantial. I was possibly the worst patient and I respect my doctor for being patient with me. I would take my portable bag of chemo and put it on the treadmill and run 3-6km each day I could escape or would go home to the coast, where I would strap up the permanent tubes hanging from my arm with glad wrap and go surfing. As I said if chemo wanted to break me, it’d have to wait till I’m older, because now I’m going to live my life. I’m doing all this with no white cell and little to no immune system. If I didn’t have that support from the Nu Skin supplements, I feel that chemo may have got the best of me and kept me in hospital for a lot longer.  Throughout my initial treatment I took Lifepak, Teegreen, Cortitrol and Flex.</p>
<p>After my treatment at the Mater, I was fortunate enough to have a bone marrow transplant. This was one of the toughest times during my life and I still have trouble describing it with a steady voice. During this time I took Lifepak and Teegreen and during this time the Galvanic Spa had just arrived. Mum wouldn’t stop talking about it, couldn’t get her to shut up about it. At first I had the perception that it was more of a feminine product. That was up until I cut myself during a time when I was neutropenic (lacking any white cells), so the infection travelled from my toe up to my calf. Mum, with all her wisdom took out the Galvanic with the Enhancer Gel and Body Lotion and quickly got to work. Within a day of using the Galvanic the infection had receded back to the local area of the cut and the pain had been minimised.</p>
<p>In 2009 I finally felt strong enough to give back to those who gave to me and with the suggestion from a friend to run to Longreach for charity. So I organised a 1,200km run from Brisbane to Longreach for the Leukaemia Foundation and AEIOU – Children with Autism. It took 13 friends and a patient mother to run for 13 days down some very long roads. The location Longreach was chosen to show how far rural Queenslanders have to travel for specialist care and to let everyone know that a recovery from these illnesses and disabilities is not a sprint, but a long and arduous marathon. During the organisation phase I spent 6 months working day and night to put it all together along with full time university and running training for the 1,200km jog, I needed something to keep going! So for the organisation period I was taking Reshi max, teagreen, Lifepax and flex to compensate and provide my body with the support it needed and deserved to maintain the study and deal with the learning curve that was the run.	During the run it was a different story, running for mates with mates was one of the greatest things to ever happen to any of us. Each morning we would wake with the sunrise and head off in to a very cold winter morning, but before our morning team left to cover the first leg lined up to take their daily supplements, kindly donated by NU Skin, Sydney. We had several products from basic lifepax, cordyceps, flex, teagreen and Gac juice. We were fed immensely well by the rural community, but on the road was a different story. We drank a lot of water, but also had a stable diet of sweets “for carbohydrate loading, of course”, so our diet then was not the greatest. So again Nu Skin products were there to maintain a relatively well supported body and to help us cover the distances we needed to run. Most of the runners on this team were chosen purely because of their relationship ties with myself and since school some had been living quite sedentary lives. These runners had noted an increase of endurance, respiratory efficacy as well as general well being. On the other side of the scale we had amazingly fit runners competing for scholarships to America and a spot in the Commonwealth athletics team. They too also felt an improvement with breathing and especially with joint pain. Another product from NU Skin that became a regular use was the new Galvanic Spa. When climbing the range we had a number of sprains along the way. The Galvanic along with the flex cream and body lotion were used to reduce the swelling and what seemed like an increased time of recovery. At the conclusion of the event we had raised just under $100,000 for the two charities and met some very inspirational people along the way. What got us there was the people who volunteered to run, the smiles we couldn’t remove and the strong bodies thanks to NU Skin.</p>
<p>Currently I am working as a Under Water Ceramics Technician “Dish pig/kitchen hand” four nights a week from 6 to 12PM, studying Exercise Science and Business full time at the University of Queensland and up five times a week a 5:30am for running training. I’m currently training 6-8 times a week for the World Transplant Games in Sweden during June this year. There are a few record books that don’t seem to be correct so I want to try and rewrite them. Again I am working myself to the core trying to do the best at everything I do, sleeping and eating properly is just not enough. This is where I say thank goodness for Vitality! I am focused during lectures, although some professors still do a good job at putting everyone to sleep, excited at 5:30 in the mornings and focused when working in a busy and high class restaurant. It honestly is one of the best products NU Skin has provided yet and when I have to take my post Leukaemia medication I’m more worried when I miss taking my Vitality then I am with those other drugs.</p>
<p>My focus right now are these games in Sweden, it is the closure to my whole Leukaemia experience, it will allow me to forget the one regret, to let me know I’ve achieved what I originally set out to achieve, to be my best. My legs are running fast, I am strong, I am focused and I will break these records. I couldn’t do this though without three things, my family, my friends and my healthy body thanks largely to NU Skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Christmas &amp; New Year holiday period is now a distant memory. And what  happened to the resolutions we made coming into the New Year to make 2011 a better version of the year just past? Many of us make resolutions that acknowledge this fact&#8230;..we need to take better care of ourselves.</p>
<p>I belong to the generation of women who were taught something unfortunate in this regard&#8230;&#8230;.paying attention to yourself, your skin, your health and wellbeing, was the same as being selfish. I now see things differently.</p>
<p>Self care, I now see, is MY RESPONSIBILITY. If I do not pay service to my body, mind and spirit, my vehicle for living, when I abandon this vehicle, it won&#8217;t serve me.</p>
<p>So, If you are looking to live better, longer, I have some product  suggestions that will be of benefit. Please contact me with any questions about my product range. I am in the process of developing a new website, which incorporated social media, to make interaction easier.</p>
<p>As many receiving this email will realise, I had the good fortune to visit my new granddaughter, the beautiful Charlotte, who lives in London, for Christmas.</p>

<p>There are many reasons a major leaguer can fall into a batting slump: losing his<br />
timing at the plate, bailing out on pitches, thinking too much about dinner after<br />
the game. But the funk that Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Rocco Baldelli fell into<br />
over the past two seasons was on a whole different level.</p>
<p>The dude&#8217;s mitochondria were letting him down.</p>
<p>No bells ringing for you? Let me help you out: sophomore year in high school&#8230;<br />
specifically, biology class&#8230; the unit on cells&#8230; the discussion of the cell&#8217;s power source&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Mitochondria! Yes!</strong></p>
<p>Although Baldelli didn&#8217;t realize it when his muscle soreness started or when his injuries began to pile up, his mitochondria were in serious trouble. And they weren&#8217;t just causing a slump at the plate, they were causing a slump in his life. Early last year, he couldn&#8217;t work out for more than a few minutes without becoming exhausted. He had cramping and other strange sensations in his limbs. By the start of the season last April, things were so bleak that the Rays had put him back on the disabled list.</p>
<p>Fortunately, this is a story with a pretty happy ending. Doctors eventually determined that Baldelli was suffering from <strong>mitochondrial myopathy</strong> &#8212; damage to those power plants.<br />
He began a course of treatment, and by early August the Rays were on the verge of making their first trip to the playoffs. He played well in the regular season, and in the postseason, as TV announcers struggled to pronounce &#8220;mitochondria,&#8221; he stepped up his performance even more, hitting two postseason home runs and driving in one of the runs that sent the Rays to the World Series.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t let Baldelli&#8217;s struggle spook you too much. His disease, however scary, is rare. And even though damaged mitochondria can do bad things to you, as Baldelli will attest, the opposite is also true: <strong>Strong, healthy mitochondria can make you strong and healthy now, and maybe for a very, very, very long time.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s Friday afternoon and I&#8217;ve come to Sinclair&#8217;s lab at <strong>Harvard Medical School</strong> to talk to him not only about the <strong>prospects for supercharging our mitochondria,</strong> but also about the long-term effects of keeping these cellular power plants humming. Sinclair, a slight, intense man of 39, dismisses the idea of adding centuries to our lives, but he&#8217;s more optimistic about the possibility of adding a few decades of, say, competitive softball.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the future, people will be thinking, &#8216;When I&#8217;m 80, I&#8217;ll still be playing tennis&#8230;<br />
and at 90 I&#8217;ll still be around to see my great-grand kids graduate from college,&#8217; &#8221; he says.</p>
<p><strong>Mitochondria are tiny, but their effects are large. You can easily see the<br />
difference between an animal whose mitochondria are working perfectly and<br />
one whose mitochondria are worn out.</strong></p>
