LifeVantage Spokesperson Donny Osmond Appears on Dr Phil Show

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb 9, 2012 -- LifeVantage Corporation, maker of Protandim(R), the Nrf2 Synergizer(TM) patented Dietary Supplement, announced today that its spokesperson, Donny Osmond, appeared on the Dr. Phil show February 8 and shared one of his "secrets" to his youthful appearance and vitality--Protandim. On the heels of Donny's appearance, Protandim ranked first among Google searches in the United States February 8, and remains in the top among Google searches in the United States February 9. In addition to its Google trend ranking, LifeVantage.com visits were up nearly 300% and Protandim.com visits were up over 800% during the same time period.

Donny Osmond, the 2009 "Dancing with the Stars" champion, said he had discovered what he called his own "fountain of youth"--Protandim--during his appearance on the Dr. Phil show. Donny added that he has taken Protandim for two years at his doctor's recommendation and has experienced many health benefits and anti-aging results.

"This continues to be an exciting time for Protandim and LifeVantage," said LifeVantage President and CEO, Douglas C. Robinson. "There is an ever increasing number of Nrf2 studies in many of the most respected universities and institutions around the world. It is also gratifying to know that Protandim is of such interest that people have been typing 'Protandim' in Google searches more than any other word recently."

About Protandim, the Nrf2 Synergizer

Protandim(R) is a clinically demonstrated supplement that provides substantial benefits for healthy aging. Nrf2 is a protein messenger contained in every cell of the body. When activated, Nrf2 enters the cell nucleus and turns on hundreds of survival genes, defensive, stress responsive, cytoprotective genes that enable cells to survive in the face of several different kinds of stress, particularly oxidative stress. This patented Nrf2-activating therapy works in a very different way than conventional antioxidant supplements. Unlike vitamin or carotenoid-containing products that have proven to be largely ineffective in reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals, Protandim is an indirect antioxidant therapy, which stimulates the body's production of its own powerful antioxidant enzymes and other stress-related gene products. Protandim works at the cellular level, triggering cells to naturally increase production of protective antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione synthase, while decreasing production of pro-inflammatory signals. A peer-reviewed human clinical study showed that after Protandim was taken for 30 consecutive days, important biochemical markers of aging were decreased by an average of 40%. The study also reported that these markers of aging were reduced in the subjects taking Protandim to the level of a typical 20 year old. Protandim is currently the subject of several scientific studies at universities and research facilities. The nature and stages of the studies vary. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, Protandim is considered a "dietary supplement". Protandim is not intended for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or cure of any disease.

ARIIX Chief Sales Officer Leaving Corporate Office to Become Representative

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Bountiful, UT February 10, 2012 -- Brent Jorgensen, ARIIX Co-founder and Chief Sales Officer (CSO) has announced his decision to transition from his corporate position to becoming a member of the Global Success Team and representative of the company. This bold move highlights both the confidence Brent feels in ARIIX, and the opportunities for success it offers to its representatives - enough to even entice someone to leave their high corporate position.

Brent was one of the original founders - a team with vision, passion and unparalleled combined experience - that started ARIIX with a shared vision of creating a premier health and wellness company to help unleash the human potential for good on a global scale. His work contributed to ARIIX's success right out of the starting block and his background in business made him an integral part of the ARIIX management team.

"I was in the unique position to experience this organization from every viewpoint as we established, expanded and exploded throughout the marketplace," said Brent, "I've come to see that the opportunities we've built for our representatives for success both as business owners and in creating the lifestyle they want. This appealed to me so much that I made this decision to change my role with ARIIX."

"While we'll miss having Brent on the Executive Team, I can't think of a better role for him and his family to help ARIIX continue it's incredible growth" said Mark Wilson, President of ARIIX. "Brent helped build this company from the ground up and will continue to do so as a representative. We know he'll always be a big part of ARIIX's success."

Brent was also CEO of iCentris, Inc., one of the most successful technology companies in the direct sales industry. He has been involved with the development of several other companies, including non-profit organizations, and has served as an advisor to some of the top direct selling companies in the world.

Brent is known for his great sense of humor and personal warmth, and is a sought-after motivational speaker. His experiences with surviving a brain tumor and overcoming other personal challenges have given him a unique perspective on life and particularly on health. He is an avid runner and participates in several races around the country, and he loves spending time with his 3 children and wife Debbie.

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Waiora

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

A class action lawsuit was filed last week against nutritional supplement company Waiora. The suit alleges that Waiora's supplement, Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), contained only a fraction of the stated amount of zeolite from 2004 to September 2011.

The complaint claims "blatant misrepresentation on the part of numerous parties, which manufactured, marketed, and sold a product to the general public under false pretenses, and with false labeling."

The complaint states that in late 2010 third-party laboratory tests of NCD showed only an average of 150 mg of zeolite per bottle, while the label stated each bottle contained 2400 mg. In other words, the product was mostly water. One of the plaintiffs showed the test results to Waiora management and asked for an explanation, but Waiora stood by the label claim. However, the suit also says that Waiora switched to a new manufacturer for the product shortly thereafter, and the NCD sold since the switch in October has a different consistency, taste and color from the earlier version.

Defendants named include Waiora President/CEO Stan Cherelstein, co-founder Norwood "Eddie" Stone, and Chief Science Officer Erik "Rik" Deitsch.

The case is Penney et al. v. Waiora LLC et al., case number 9:12-cv-80064, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

CieAura Announces Plans to Go Public

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Los Angeles, CA February 08, 2012 -- CieAura LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, has made the decision to participate in the public arena with a portion of its global business. The portion of CieAura�s existing global businesses currently committed to generate revenue for the public entity, will include all of Europe and the Greater China region. Each of these current CieAura global markets represent countries that are in the top ten of revenue generating markets for Network Marketing worldwide.

Ken Rasner, the visionary Founder and CEO of CieAura, shared his excitement about this action when he said, �Entering the public arena will allow the rate of CieAura�s success to increase significantly, primarily because it will rapidly facilitate an expanded, more robust global infrastructure. CieAura was founded on the highest level of integrity in the network marketing business model and I can ensure all concerned of our continued commitment to that end. People worldwide love and need the unique products that CieAura markets and these outstanding products will remain congruent as we move forward.�

CieAura made this decision to enter the public arena with part of CieAura�s global business based upon research of the past performance of public companies in the network marketing industry such as USANA, NuSkin and Herbalife. Each of these companies has shown remarkable growth over the last ten years. CieAura�s participation in a public entity will allow CieAura to raise additional capital which can be used to enhance CieAura�s growth in those regions. This additional capital will enable CieAura�s accelerated hiring of well qualified employees, creation of international support offices and customization of CieAura�s product line for each global region.

Paul Rogers, COO of CieAura, is excited about this new milestone for CieAura. He said, �Participating in the public arena, with some of the key countries CieAura now serves, will enable CieAura to offer an unprecedented opportunity for our Retailers, customers and vendors which can bring enhanced value to shareholders. CieAura has a very loyal customer and Retailer base which should provide continued growth in global revenues for years to come.� Rogers speaks from experience. He was President of NHT Global, a Network Marketing company, when it rose from a penny stock to become a highly sought after stock traded on NASDAQ.

CieAura CFO, William Wong, with years of operation and finance expertise in the public sector, commented, �Placing these CieAura markets into a publicly listed company, takes CieAura�s business to a whole new level. In terms of accountability, being in the public arena requires openly presenting financials to the public; requires all business dealings to be transparent and requires the highest level of integrity in all that is done. New opportunities will also arise from this. Anyone, including our Retailers from all over the world, will have the chance to participate as owners of the public entity and, as owners, taking a greater stake in the company.�

CieAura intends to announce the new relationship in the second quarter of 2012.

Jusuru Introduces Jusuru Pet Blend

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Anaheim, CA February 08, 2012 -- Jusuru International, Inc., introduced its newest product to attendees of their February Regional Training Event, which was held on February 3rd and 4th in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Jusuru Pet Blend� is the company�s second product offering, as it joins Jusuru�s acclaimed Jusuru Life Blend�.

Jusuru Pet Blend was created after the runaway success of Jusuru�s original Jusuru Life Blend, a unique liquid nutraceutical supporting joint and skin health. Jusuru wanted to provide a pet-safe alternative for consumption by dogs and cats, in addition to entering the burgeoning pet supplement market, which has grown to a billion dollar market in the US alone, according to market researcher Packaged Facts. Like its parent product, Jusuru Pet Blend is an exclusive liquid supplement that contains Jusuru�s star ingredient, BioCell Collagen�, specifically formulated to support normal joint structure, function and flexibility, as well as to promote optimal overall health and well-being. The articular joints (which are associated with movement) of mammals tend to be very similar across different species, which is why Jusuru Life Blend and Jusuru Pet Blend have similar benefits for humans and pets, respectively. Jusuru Pet Blend also has the added benefit of providing a shiny, healthy coat by providing highly absorbable hyaluronic acid and collagen, two molecules known for promoting skin health. �Jusuru is proud to launch Jusuru Pet Blend, as it is a natural complement to our flagship product, and is another example of how we strive to satisfy our customer-driven demand,� said Asma Ishaq, president of Jusuru International. �Its welcome at our event was staggering, and the excitement level for Jusuru has never been higher.�

Along with the new product launch, Jusuru also shared with its independent representatives in attendance that the company experienced record growth in the fourth quarter of 2011 and into January of this year. Jusuru plans to focus on new product development and regional expansion in 2012. For example, product sales in Jusuru�s newest market, Canada, are expected to start in May of this year. Jusuru has updated the software system, used by its independent representatives, making the experience more user-friendly, functional and intuitive. In addition, Jusuru introduced a new autoship reward program, designed to give product credit to loyal consumers. Finally, Jusuru announced that Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine and author of New York Times best-seller, The Compound Effect, will be the keynote speaker of Jusuru�s third annual convention, Rise to Enterprise 2012.

XANGO CEO Appears on Power 50 List

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

LEHI, Utah, Feb. 6, 2012 -- XANGO Founder, Chairman & CEO Aaron Garrity has again secured the number two spot while he and his partners, collectively, are number 16 on the annual Power 50 list of the most influential people in global direct sales by DirectSellingLive.com, a leading industry resource. The Power 50 recognizes the people and organizations that have had the greatest impact in direct selling over the past year while giving back to the world's communities through social, economic and environmental efforts.

"XANGO, in my opinion, is the company that will lead direct selling in a very positive direction for the next 20 to 30 years," said Keeper Catran-Whitney, founder and CEO of DirectSellingLive.com. "From a technology standpoint, no one does it better than the XANGO team out of Utah."

The Power 50 listings have recognized XANGO's innovation in serving distributors, including building a celebrated global brand and utilizing technology such as online, on-demand viewing to take events to a worldwide audience.

The Power 50 rankings are "another important accomplishment for XANGO and a direct credit to our nearly two million distributors worldwide," wrote XANGO Chairman Emeritus Gary Hollister in a blog post after the Power 50 announcement. "In founding XANGO, we brought a vision of a powerful brand and global community that would evolve the business of direct selling. And that vision is realized everyday by the leaders who bring XANGO to life in the field. I'm so proud of Aaron and every one of my partners for again representing XANGO's influence in evolving the industry we love so much."

Garrity, who ranked number two on the Power 50 last year, was recognized by the Harvard Business Review as one of the top innovative entrepreneurs in a six-year study on innovators and what sets them apart from other business leaders.

At XANGO's annual convention last September, Garrity unveiled five "Bold Strides" initiatives the company would engage at a global level, including cultivating the next generation of direct sellers, advancing XANGO's social purpose in areas like sustainability and empowering women in every market the company serves.

Liberty Health Network to Distribute Coupons Via Twitter

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Liberty Health Network announces that Twitter will be the single point of distribution for free and discount product coupons for Liberty's company-direct sales channel. Tampa, FL February 06, 2012 -- While many Network and Multilevel Marketing companies survive on the mantra �recruit, recruit, recruit� Liberty Health Network builds their business on a simple process of attracting new customers, retaining those customers, and allowing those customers to build a business by selling the products they have confidence in. Now, @GoLHN will take a central role.

�Customer Acquisition is the core of the LHN business opportunity� Said Chief Financial Officer Tracy Grevert. �Most of our revenues and all of our commissions are generated by customer purchases. I have seen many companies come and go by trying to walk the fine line of building a Multilevel business with commissions tied to new distributor recruiting. But the reality is that the only business that have survived long-term are the business built on solid product performance. We know our products perform, we just need to get them into more households. Online Coupons are an inexpensive way to attract and retain new customers.� Says Grevert.

�Use the products. Tell your story. Building a business really can be that simple� Says LHN Chief Operating Officer Russell Bly. �When you have customers purchasing products without a business opportunity attached, you know you have the right products. When you give satisfied customers the opportunity to earn income by telling others about their experience with those products, you know you have the right business opportunity. For about half the cost of an Amazon, Ebay, or Yahoo Web Store, our customers can market products they are already using. We'll handle the credit card processing, shipping, and customer service. All our customers have to do is enroll for our eService package, which includes several Online Stores, and share their experiences and websites with people they know. When sales are made, our customers turned Marketing Associates can get a check. But unlike the web stores mentioned above, as Associates customers become Marketing Associates, additional commissions can be earned. Customers turned Marketing Associates can earn up to 40% of the full product purchase price of their teams sales.

Customers acquired through the @GoLHN campaigns create a multiple-win situation for LHN. Not only does LHN acquire customers whom may convert to Marketing Associates, LHN's name recognition is enhanced, making it easier for Marketing Associates to distribute LHN products.

Mary Kay Advocates for Domestic Violence Survivors

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

ATLANTA, Feb 02, 2012 -- Mary Kay Inc. and Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants, in partnership with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence are descending upon the Georgia State Capitol to raise awareness with lawmakers about the importance of crucial funding for domestic violence prevention and intervention services statewide. Participants will educate Georgia lawmakers about crucial counseling, shelter, support groups, education and prevention programs and the necessity of state support for these life-saving services.

"Speaking with legislators is an important part of Mary Kay's commitment to ending domestic violence," said Mary Kay Vice President of Government Relations Anne Crews. "Together, with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence, we can make a difference and help educate lawmakers about the critical needs among organizations and individuals who serve on the front lines of this important issue and horrific crime."

Georgia was named for having the 6th highest homicide rate in the nation for women killed by men. The impact of this violence extends into the larger community, generating public safety and healthcare costs and reducing worker productivity.

"This year we are very excited to be working on positive, pro-active legislation which will address some loopholes in our systems in order to increase victim safety," explained Nicole Lesser, Executive Director of the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence. "There is a serious need for the community, law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, churches, healthcare practitioners, schools, etc. to do their part in addressing domestic violence and sexual assault."

Mary Kay has an ongoing commitment to lobbying for good and working to prevent and end domestic violence. Beginning in the 1980s, Mary Kay Inc. lobbied state and national lawmakers advocating for insurance coverage of mammograms. Over the last 15 years the company has lobbied for the federal Violence Against Women Act, its reauthorization and subsequent appropriations.

MonaVie Launches Weight Loss RVLution

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2012 -- Health and wellness leader MonaVie has launched a weight loss movement it is calling the "90-day MonaVie RVLution," using its RVL Premier Weight Management System in combination with Venice Nutrition Creator and NY Times Bestselling Author Mark Macdonald's "Body Confidence" program. The program is being kicked off on February 4, 2012 at Duffy Fitness Institute, 17891 Skypark Circle, Irvine, CA led by PICP and CHEK certified fitness trainer, Phil Gephart.

"The beauty of this program is it's not a diet," says, Jeff Amos, MonaVie distributor. "This 90-day complete weight management program will focus on blood sugar stabilization � the key to sustainable, long-term weight management success. We invite anyone who has tried a diet and failed to come and join us on either Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 3:00pm or Tuesday, February 7 at 7:00pm. Our message is, 'Ditch the diet and join the RVLution!' to gain control of your weight and health once and for all." Our goal is to support Orange County in losing 20,000 lbs. in 90 days!

Nutrition expert Macdonald, who serves as spokesperson for RVLution, says that the MonaVie program merges "the best weight loss product with the most complete weight management plan on the market," and that those who commit to the program will see significant, sustainable results.

Macdonald explains the program focuses on three key principles: 1) Frequent meals that keep blood sugar levels steady and help to prevent overeating and blood sugar spikes; 2) Maintaining correct nutrition ratios � getting the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat in every meal; and 3) Managing meal size � eating smaller meals every few hours keeps blood sugar levels steady.

Join the RVLution and Become a RVLutionary!

Jeff Amos says this meeting is only the first in a series of meetings held to encourage and support those who decide to join the 90-day RVLution. "We're extremely excited because this program is not based on fads, quick promises or dramatic changes in diet. It works because it's doable and helps those who embrace it achieve and maintain the weight and health they've always wanted. We invite everyone to 'Join the RVLution and Become a RVLutionary' in 2012."

Nerium International Expanding to Puerto Rico

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Addison, TX February 01, 2012 -- Nerium� International, LLC of Addison, TX is pleased to announce the opening of business operations in Puerto Rico as of February 1, 2012. Says Founder and CEO Jeff Olson, �Our goal from day one has been to build a global business opportunity for our leaders.�

Nerium International has enjoyed robust growth in its first five months of existence. �We have already reached financial heights that only a small percentage of companies in this industry ever realize,� says Olson. Nerium International is also the youngest company to ever be featured in Success from Home magazine.

In addition to the expansion of business, states Olson, �We are in the process of converting marketing and training materials into several languages, and Spanish is the first. With over 40 million Spanish-speaking people in the United States, Puerto Rico is a natural extension for our eventual global expansion. We�re especially encouraged by the enthusiasm of our current Brand Partners who have connections in Puerto Rico.�

According to Trevor Scofield, Senior Vice President of Global Operations, �You can signup Brand Partners and Customers in Puerto Rico as easily as you can sign up your neighbor.�

Nerium International and Nerium SkinCare�, Inc., a subsidiary of Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. �, of San Antonio, TX enjoy an exclusive licensing partnership. This partnership was designed with the purpose of building a global brand through the development and distribution of breakthrough products in the anti-aging skincare market.

Founded in 2006, Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. was created to fund research focused on new technology and applications of the Nerium oleander plant, with ongoing research at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Texas at San Antonio, ST&T Research, and Louisiana State University. Use of the Nerium oleander plant has been identified in ancient texts and folklore for more than 1,500 years, but it wasn�t until the last century that the scientific community took interest in researching its properties. While researching the uses of the Nerium oleander plant, Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. made an accidental discovery: Nerium oleander possesses unique qualities that produce remarkable age-defying results when applied to the skin. This discovery, with product development through Nerium SkinCare, Inc., led to the creation of the NeriumADTM skincare line.

In 2009, Nerium SkinCare, Inc. was developed as a division of Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. to provide for research, new product development, formulation, testing, and manufacturing of all skincare applications, including the patent-pending Nerium oleander extract, NAE-8�. In 2011, Nerium International partnered with Nerium SkinCare, Inc. to build a global, first-of-its-kind skincare line based on a strong, scientific foundation.

The direct sales industry generates $132 billion per year, and skincare is the dominant category in the industry. �Based on our initial success, and due to the revolutionary nature of NeriumAD, we look forward to future growth along the same trajectory of success we�ve enjoyed thus far.�

The company has aggressive plans for both product development and further global expansion.

January 31, 2012 -- MonaVie, a leading product innovator in health and wellness and one of the leading direct sales companies in the world, announced today that Sachin Adhikari, a respected and well-known expert in the field of leadership development, has been named as Chief Executive Officer & Global President of MVP (MonaVie Values People). MVP is the company�s newly launched training, education and leadership program designed to guide the success of its global distributor network.

�I am honored to assume this role with MonaVie,� said Adhikari. �I have great admiration for the company and tremendous respect for the vision of its founders. People are the most valuable resource of an organization, and, if they are carefully trained and respected, they can produce exceptional results for themselves and others.

MonaVie Founder, Chairman and CEO Dallin Larsen says MonaVie recognized that finding the right executive to lead MVP will be crucial to its success, and that Adhikari has the perfect credentials and experience to fulfill MVP�s vision and mission. �Sachin is a talented, dynamic and innovative leader who has successfully developed and implemented training initiatives that have empowered tens of thousands of people around the world to achieve their potential as entrepreneurs, business leaders and successful independent business owners. His recognized international leadership in creating value-based training and leadership programs will be vital, as we continue to advance the MonaVie brand worldwide.�

Larsen says that MVP is a first in the direct sales industry � an enterprise-wide training system developed by the company in collaboration with, and through the support of, all its top distributor leaders. �When we started MonaVie seven years ago,� said Larsen, �we left the responsibility of education and training to our distributors, and it worked very well. Today, as a global company with operations in more than 20 countries managed by eight regional presidents, we felt it was time to bring the company together under one system, and to create a global brand that means the same thing in every market. MVP, which has been created by some of the most successful distributors in the world, does just that. It will unify and strengthen our company, and will be key to the next phase of our strategic growth.�

Adhikari holds a master�s degree in Business Management from the University of Mumbai, and, after his post-graduation, worked with several multi-national companies gaining experience in sales, marketing and business development areas. Through these experiences, Adhikari said he developed the belief that every person in the world is unique and has the potential to succeed. He also discovered that long-term growth and true progress can be achieved only through adherence to key values and business ethics.

In 1998, Adhikari joined Britt Worldwide (BWW), an international company that provides business education and mentorship programs to thousands of entrepreneurs in over 45 countries. After establishing the company�s operations in India, he quickly rose through the ranks and became CEO of the company�s Asia Pacific operations. Three years later, he was elevated to the position of Global Chief Operating Officer. During his years at BWW, he designed and spearheaded several key initiatives to leverage the growing company�s reach, and, today, BWW trains more than 400,000 people every month in over 500 locations across the globe. Most notably, Adhikari developed a well-known leadership program called �5-5-5 Prism of Success,� which is now being used by corporations, colleges and universities across India as a part of their entrepreneurial skill development curriculum and Life Skills program.

In 2009, The Institute of Economic Studies (IES), one of the world�s premier research-based organizations, awarded Adhikari with the prestigious �Udyog Rattan Award,� recognizing his outstanding vision and global leadership in the field of Training & Development. He also has been recognized by the Times of India, a leading Indian newspaper, for his outstanding contribution to the State of Maharashtra. His work was always well recognized in top business publications and media.

Neways Launches Philanthropic Program

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT

SPRINGVILLE, Utah, Jan. 25, 2012 -- Formalizing its existing program for humanitarian efforts, Neways announced the formation of the Neways Gives program. The effort commences with a partnership between Neways and Mali Rising Foundation to construct a school in an impoverished area of Mali, West Africa.

"Part of the Healthy Homes mission is to assist in establishing healthy communities, and education is a critical foundation of any strong and self-sustaining community," says Scott St. Clair, Neways CEO. "Neways feels fortunate to be involved in constructing a school that will ultimately lead children in Africa to a brighter future."

Mali Rising Foundation has constructed 13 schools in Mali, Africa, the fourth most impoverished nation in the world. The founder, Yeah Samake, is a graduate of Brigham Young University and has close ties to Utah. He currently resides in Mali and is running for the office of president of that nation while closely participating in the foundation.

"I could stay in America," says Samake, "but America does not need me. Mali needs me. If you could see the joy in the children's eyes when they realize they will have the opportunity to continue their education without facing the dangers of walking up to 20 miles round trip, you would feel the enormity of what you've done for them. We are so thankful to Neways and to all the distributors who are making this possible for these children."

Mali Rising Foundation obtains part of the funding for the schools from private donations and part from the villages and government. The construction of the schools provides jobs to villagers, who help build, and teach at the schools. "In this way," explains Samake, "we encourage hand up, not handouts."

As part of the Neways Gives program, Neways also participated in donations for the Road Home homeless shelter and has announced its participation with the March of Dimes in 2012.

FirstFitness to Merge with Medical Alarm Concepts and Introduce New Products

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Jan. 25, 2012 -- Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. today provided its investors with an update relative to its proposed merger with Carrollton, Texas-based FirstFitness Nutrition Inc., a leading provider of weight loss, wellness, energy and fitness nutritional products. On November 9th, 2011, Medical Alarm Concepts announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent outlining its plan to merge the financials and operations of the two companies.

The combined operation is expected to produce over $12 million in revenues this year and to yield both positive earnings and cash flow. Since the announcement of the proposed merger, revenues at FirstFitness have been accelerating due to increased interest in the weight loss category and enhancements to its marketing efforts. The companies have set February 28, 2012 as the proposed closing date for the merger.

Nigel Branson, President and CEO of FirstFitness commented, "We are very excited to be moving forward with this merger. Being part of a public company will allow us the flexibility to further expand our already extensive network of distributors. We plan some bold actions for the first few months of this year. This weekend our management team will be meeting with our top-level distributors to introduce a revolutionary weight loss supplement that combines both appetite suppression and fat burning capabilities into a single, natural, herbal-based tablet. Product development has been completed, packaging and marketing materials have been produced and we are ready to move this product into the market. Our initial customer trials have been very encouraging and we are expecting the product to be extremely well-received by our distributors allowing them to meaningfully enhance their business opportunities and revenue generation."

This weekend, FirstFitness will also unveil to its key distributors the new 90-Day Ultimate Body Weight Loss and Fitness Challenge that will attract significantly more retail sales opportunities to their distribution businesses. Also to be unveiled this weekend will be the most lucrative network marketing compensation program in the Country that will allow the Company's important distribution partners increased opportunities to boost up front income while still producing even more residual income.

Mr. Branson continued, "We are expecting the combination of the introduction of this revolutionary new appetite suppression product and the start of the 90-Day Ultimate Body Weight Loss and Fitness Challenge, combined with the implementation of this new and innovative distribution compensation plan to significantly accelerate our revenue growth resulting in one of our strongest years ever. We could not be more positive about our future."

Under the terms of the proposed merger agreement, FirstFitness Nutrition, Inc. and Medical Alarm Concepts, Inc. will operate as separate subsidiaries of Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. Current shareholders of FirstFitness Nutrition are expected to hold approximately 50% of the common and preferred shares of newly combined entity. Medical Alarm Concepts, Inc. is expected to retire a significant portion of its convertible notes and outstanding warrants prior to the consummation of the merger. This is expected to result in a reversal of derivative liability charges yielding a large, non-cash net income gain. As part of this process, an investor has agreed to cancel, without exercise, 15.5 million in the money warrants. Additional warrant surrenders are expected in the future, all of which will reduce shareholder dilution and more adequately allow the Company to reflect its true financial position during future periods.

Ronald Adams, President of Medical Alarm Concepts commented, "Over the short term, investors will see many positive changes as we restructure our balance sheet. We have very successfully negotiated with key investors, the retirement of a large portion of our convertible debt, and the cancellation, without exercise, of a very significant portion of the currently outstanding money warrants. We believe the cancellation of the 15.5 million warrants we are announcing today is merely a small sample of what is expected to be cancelled, without exercise, over the coming weeks, as we work to finalize our audit and SEC financial reporting to remaining a fully reporting organization. We want to thank all of our share and stakeholders as we move this merger forward in order to create substantial value for our investors and our network marketers.

"These warrant cancellations, the retirement of large portions of our convertible notes payable, and past debt retirements at FirstFitness Nutrition should send a clear message to our investors that we plan to construct a strong combined balance sheet and significantly limit shareholder dilution while building a strong and growing revenue stream in some of the fastest growing areas of the American economy," added Adams.

Amway Offers Genotype Matched Weight Management Plan

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Direct Seller Offers Genetic Test to Determine If You're a Carb Blocker, Fat Trimmer or Better Balancer

ADA, Mich., Jan. 25, 2012 -- Weight loss is perhaps the most common New Year's resolution made and likely the most difficult to keep. Amway North America offers the NUTRILITE� Weight Management Program, which includes a genetic test that helps individuals find their genotype-matched diet, and offers weight management plans matched to that gene test's results.

A key ingredient in the NUTRILITE Weight Management Program is the Inherent Health� Weight Management Genetic Test, where users simply swab the inside of their cheek and drop the sample in the mail. Personalized, confidential results arrive within days, revealing one of three weight management genotypes: Carb Reducer(TM), Fat Trimmer(TM) or Better Balancer(TM). These profiles indicate the type of diet and exercise that is ideal for each specific genotype.

"Many Americans struggle with long-term successful weight loss because they try a typical one-size-fits-all or fad diet," says Julie Upton, MS, RD, CSSD, a registered dietitian and co-founder of Appetite for Health. "That's why a more personalized approach to weight loss offers more opportunity to win at losing."

"I lost 54 pounds in my first 12 weeks on the NUTRILITE Weight Management Program," says Rich Mullins, Amway Independent Business Owner and Carb Reducer. "I've tried just about every weight loss program out there but with this one, the genetic test eliminates all the guess work so you know what you're doing works. The NUTRILITE plans teach you practical habits that you can maintain long term and allow you to eat great food so that you're always satisfied, not hungry."

Presented at the 2010 American Heart Association's Joint Conference A clinical study announced in March 2010 by a major university* found that individuals can lose more weight with a diet recommended by the Inherent Health Weight Management Genetic Test, versus a diet that's not genotype specific. In that clinical study, people on diets that were right for their genes lost significantly more weight than those who were following diets that were genotype-inappropriate.*

The Nutrilite ApproachThe NUTRILITE Weight Management program offers three healthy, balanced plans - Carb Reducer, Fat Trimmer or Better Balancer - that are the only weight management plans on the market customized to match the results of the Inherent Health� Weight Management Genetic Test. The NUTRILITE approach to losing weight is designed to encourage lasting lifestyle changes. The plans don't severely limit calories or encourage strenuous exercise that can't be maintained. The NUTRILITE Weight Management Program teaches new habits that can be incorporated into every day lifestyles for life.

The NUTRILITE Weight Management Carb Reducer, Fat Trimmer and Better Balancer plans each include:

A simple-to-follow, day-by-day journal. The journal includes four weeks worth of daily meal plans, shopping lists, and recipes. It also includes an exercise plan that can help fit in cardio, resistance training, core exercises, and stretching in as little as 10 minutes per day. The journal is intended for users to write down feelings and accomplishments throughout the program and to track progress.

The NUTRILITE supplements designed to work with each plan. Using supplements while trying to lose weight is important because the body may not be getting all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs. NUTRILITE can help individual's reach healthy goals - whether through the additional nutritional support of a multivitamin, to help boost weight management results, or to increase fiber intake.

NUTRILITE meal replacement options and snacks. These meal replacement bars, protein bars, energy bars and protein shakes are designed to satisfy taste buds and support the metabolism.
