How 4000 followers on Twitter landed me on the Dr. Phil Show

Here is the deal! I am a coach/real estate trainer that is passionate about getting our kids healthier! I coach newer real estate agents and have been on Facebook for about a year I am sure you could tell me the exact date! LOL

My coaching clients were asking me what is Twitter and I didnt know. Since I coach newer real estate agents and I know this has nothing to do with my blog other than that are a lot of newer Realtors that are moms, I wanted to go in there as an unknown. Not as a 20 year veteran of real estate, not as a top real estate coach for the last 5 years, so I promoted Lifemax and got 4000 followers in less than 90 days by conversation not content.

With that being said, Dr. Phil was looking for peeps on Twitter that were in the LA area hmmm that would be me so I filled out the form and the producers called me the next day!

The taping was so much fun, what a production that was. I got to meet Robin his wife too and she is just as sweet in person as she is on TV. His staff was amazing and being on the Paramount studio was quite a treat!

Mila compared to other Chia products: All Chia is not created equal

Mila compared to other Chia products: All Chia is not created equal. It
matters where it is grown, the altitude, the rainfall, the climate, soil, etc. Mila is the only Chia product providing a blend of seeds, each grown in the most nutritious areas of the world. No one strain on Chia offers high amounts of all of the nutrients - Omega 3s, antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber and protein. By creating this blend of seeds, grown in multiple countries, you are ensured that Mila offers the highest amount of each vital nutrient. No other Chia on the market provides this quality. Equally, our seeds are sliced through a patented process available only to Lifemax, developed by Dr. Wayne Coates, “The Father of Chia”, who works exclusively for Lifemax. Slicing makes the nutrients more bio-available.

Grinding actually damages the oil in the seed. Dr. Coates is responsible for having planted every commercial crop available today. He knows personally which locations are the best and which seeds are the most nutritious. All other brands available on the market today did not meet his standards for quality. No other company on the market today guarantees the nutrition provided in their seed through outside independent laboratory testing. No other company offers the blend and slicing and thereby the nutrition and bio-availability provided by Lifemax. If you want to
put the best-available quality into your body, Mila by Lifemax is the only choice.

When comparing brands, ask the other companies for the proof of outside laboratory
testing, verifying that their seed has been tested for quality, nutritional content and cleanliness. They cannot provide it. It matters who you trust and what you put into your body. Trust the only company paying to have the outside testing and nutritional quality verified. Trust Lifemax.

I have heard MSG is bad-but this article is horrifying!

This article was forwarded to me by my whole raw food guru Jennie at www.jensrawtruth.com great important info for everyone!


Slow Poison...

MSG The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG
hides behind 25 or more names, such as "Natural Flavouring."

MSG is even in your favourite coffee from Tim Horton's and other
brand-name coffee shops!

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive
obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a
research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario , Canada ,
and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing
discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was
writing called The Slow Poisoning of America.

In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese
mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat
or mice is naturally obese, so scientists have to create them. They
make these creatures morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they
are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas
creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even
have a name for the fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats."

When I heard this, I was shocked. I went into my kitchen and checked
the cupboards and the refrigerator. MSG was in everything -- the
Campbell 's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavoured potato chips,
Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson
frozen prepared meals, and Kraft salad dressings, especially the
"healthy low-fat" ones.

The items that didn't have MSG marked on the product label had something
called "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein," which is just another name for
Monosodium Glutamate.

It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children
everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG is hidden under many different
names in order to fool those who read the ingredient list, so that they
don't catch on. (Other names for MSG are "Accent, "Aginomoto," "Natural
Meat Tenderizer," etc.)

But it didn't stop there.

When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants
what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore
they didn't use MSG.

But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided,
sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.

Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant -- even
the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili's, Applebee's, and Denny's -- use
MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST
offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing. and gravy. No
wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin -- their secret spice was
MSG!

So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat? Is it a preservative, or
a vitamin?

Not according to my friend John Erb. In his book The Slow Poisoning of
America, he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it
has on the human body.

Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby
group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is to
make people eat more.

A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods
that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobbying group says
eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what does it do to the rest
of us?

Betcha can't eat [just] one," takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is
concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!

MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their
products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes
people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.

Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an
addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food
supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to
the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are tempted to
eat everyday.

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They
claim it's safe to eat in any amount. But how can they claim it's safe
when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these:

"The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of
exercise in obesity." Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA. Res
Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.

Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release
in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats." Guimaraes RB,
Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull.
2002 Aug.

Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in
spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk
factors." Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N,
Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.

Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in
suckling period and subsequent development of obesity." Tanaka K,
Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.

No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in
1978. Both the "medical research community" and ?food manufacturers"
have known about the side effects of MSG for decades.

Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to
diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer's.

So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this
fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity
epidemic we now see?

Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of
the highest government health officials in Canada . While he was sitting
in the government office, the official told him, "Sure, I know how bad
MSG is. I wouldn't touch the stuff." But this top-level government
official refuses to tell the public what he knows.

The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues
with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food
industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and
restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now
we are paying the price for it. Our children should not be cursed with
obesity caused by an addictive food additive.

But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice! What can I do to stop
the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring
financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?

This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you
the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't tell you.

The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this
drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone. With any
luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the
legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.

The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if
big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the
whistle on nicotine?

If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us
and you don't believe what John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to
the National Library of Medicine at
www.pubmed.com. Type in the words

"MSG Obese" and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.

We the public do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do
not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic,
addicted sheep, feeding the food industry's bottom line while waiting
for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced amputation, blindness, or
other obesity-induced, life-threatening disorders.

With your help we can put an end to this poison.

Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or by
distribution of this printout to your friends all over the world and
stop this "Slow Poisoning of Mankind" by the packaged food industry.

Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.

NEW MISSION THESE MOMS NEED OUR HELP!

To be honest I would of never thought I would be put in this position but am so grateful. I have been on Twitter for about a month and have been befriended by some really great people Jeffrey Summers and Kate Buck just to name a few. A few days ago I posted something, just having fun with my toddler and a military mom replied back how lucky I was and it struck me, she has 4 kids little ones and no TV. I am not a big TV fan however it would be nice to put my two 7 years olds and my 3 year in front of Disney so I could breastfeed my newborn in peace, that is what she is dealing with, no TV I could not imagine! I put out a shout out on Twitter and had so many people want to help and we are getting her a TV.

Then I was talking to another mom that has 4 boys under 6 who is totally abused and trying to get out of the state. Honestly I thought OMG what did I start another mom looking for help but doesnt really need it, boy was I wrong, I checked her posts and am feeling so guilty that I even thought that! Her husband raped her, she has a restraining order and you know the story the courts are doing nothing! Her 7 year old twins are sleeping on the floor, I made a contact in Utah tonight to get them a mattress but the moms goal is to be in California where her family and friends are but cant afford to do so. I am personally fronting $100 to get her here would love your help!
