Dear Friends,

I always walk a little taller when someone we've been working with calls or writes to report success using our products (two such reports to follow). Still, hearing all these great stories without one of my own has caused me to feel a bit left out. Why don=t I have a sensational, personal, testimonial? I suppose I should be glad for the answer. The fact is, I have enjoyed good health all my life (both before and after being introduced to Dr. Wallach and his products). So I take them and have taken them to PREVENT rather than to REVERSE degenerative disease. And, indeed, I'm convinced that its been my habit of supplementing with the Virgin Earth Minerals and the Virgin Earth Ultimate Classic which has KEPT me in good health.

The Nature's Whey product (Youngevity's new whey and soy, cold protein power food), though, has given me my first, personal testimonial! I started using it just two weeks ago and I've lost seven pounds. It works like a charm! What an incredible weight loss tool! I'm confident that in another two or three weeks the rest of my spare tire will be gone.

All I've done is avoid carbohydrates and use the Nature's Whey. No cravings. No hunger. First thing in the morning I mix up a cocktail of Virgin Earth Ultimate, V.E. Minerals and Nature's Whey. Then I ride the energy wave until eleven or so. Then it is time to recharge (before lunch) with some more Nature's Whey mixed in water. I follow the same pattern until bed. It is GREAT, so simple (and very few dishes)! I feel like a million bucks all day long!

At the risk of appearing to be a Ben Fuchs groupie I want to talk about another product Ben introduced at the Convention, Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub. As most of you know from reading my last newsletter, Ben is a Pharmacist by trade and Doctor Wallach=s right hand man when it comes to skin care and macro-nutrient expertise. Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub contains the active ingredient of alpha hydroxy acid, specifically, glycolic acid (a member of the group of alpha hydroxy acids). Glycolic acid acts to stimulate skin growth. Skin grows from the basal layer (bottom) up. Nature teaches us that the way to thrive, biologically, is to do work, to exercise. Exercise your muscles and you get bigger, stronger, healthier muscles. Exercise your skin and your skin will be happy, tight, strong and radiant. Using Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub to clean your face is the equivalent of giving your skin a total workout. New skin is produced in the basal layer and it is pushed outward. The time it takes for new skin to reach the surface is called Atransit time.@ In a baby the transit time is about two weeks. In a sixty year old about eight weeks. Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub decreases the transit time in a sixty year old to resemble that of a baby. It does this by acting as an exfoliant (removes the surface layer). It gently and gradually dissolves old, spent, undesirable, top-layer skin. Sensors in the skin sense when the roof is missing and this stimulates new skin growth and formation. It turns the system on. Recall how wonderfully soft and sensuous and healthy and radiant a baby's skin is? Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub can help pull up the same skin for you!

Glycolic acid not only stimulates skin growth, used on a regular basis it also helps to tighten the skin by stimulating production of connective tissue, elastin, verticulin, lactin and collagen. These components provide the fiber that holds your skin in tact, that gives it its elasticity. Thus, if you pinch your skin after regular use of Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub it will spring back instead of clinging together. Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub also improves color. As we age pigment accumulates in a haphazard fashion. You see age spots, blotches, etc. Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub can reverse this. It is also anti-bacterial so it is good for teenagers dealing with acne. In addition to alpha hydroxy acid, Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub contains beta hydroxy acid. Alpha works in the watery part of your skin and beta in the oily. Both serve to dissolve useless, dead tissue.

Ninety percent of skin care products contain dangerous, harsh detergents. Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub, on the other hand, contains a very special, natural, mild (and expensive!!) cleanser made of fat and sugar molecules. This comes from corn and is called >decopolyglucocide=. When you wash your face with Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub you are not just cleaning yourself you are actually giving yourself a facial! We encourage all of you to try the new Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub by linking to www.virginearthminerals.com, going to the secure, online ordering page and typing in product code 40411. The published wholesale price is $24.50 for a 4oz container.

Besides listening to Ben Fuchs talk at the Convention, I'll have you know that I also listened to and learned something very interesting from, various members of Dr. Wallach's Advisory Board. They advise that when we use the Virgin Earth Minerals or Virgin Earth Ultimate Classic we use plenty of water. Fact is, it just works better. Any concentrated mega-vitamin / mineral drink can pull fluid from surrounding tissue and cause mild gastrointestinal distress if it is taken straight up. Best to dilute your orange juice with an extra glass of water or, if you prefer to use undiluted orange juice, supplement and then chase with a full glass of water. For those of you experiencing any sort of unpleasantness on the saturation dose cut back to a lower dose and work up to saturation over time. And, of course, always have a little food in your stomach when you supplement to prevent stomach burn.

It has been a while since we passed on testimonials. We will close with two, verbatim, reports we recently received via email:

Stu---I just wanted to let you know how I have done since taking your pig pack. I was diagnosed with Lupus in Oct. 99 and because of the demands of my job, I rarely get enough rest or proper food. I started on the pig pack and extra Selenium late May. I have been in remission for 4 weeks today. I am enjoying a wonderful life of moving around without joint pain and swelling. Before I would work and then hit the bed. For my days off it was 2 days in bed. Now, since following this plan, I am up moving all the time and I feel GREAT!!! (unless I don=t take my morning mix). Thank you!! You really wouldn't believe the change in me. ---Kathi from Indiana.

Don----I want to thank you for introducing me to ArthyDex. I only wish this product had been available a few years ago when our dog, Eby, began having problems with hip dysplaysia. She would hold up her left leg and begin to tremble which the vet said was from the pain. When I viewed the Xray with her doctor, it was clear why she was having a problem. The ball portion of the hip joint was extremely distorted from arthritis and perhaps some congenital problems. When I first became familiar with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, I tried several commercial mixtures. But Eby seemed to have the best results when I mixed the two products myself. She would have extended periods of time with no apparent pain except when it rained or she experienced an unusual level of activity. She follows me constantly even if it was on three legs. So the week-ends were strenuous for her.

I started her on ArthyDex and there has been no doubt about the positive effect of this product. Now it is extremely rare for Eby to hold up her leg regardless of rain or activity. She continues to follow me everywhere and runs in the back yard like she did as a puppy. My wife and I are amazed at the extraordinary results and Eby is clearly a happier dog. An added plus is that she loves the taste of the product. She runs to the kitchen to get her Aleg vitamins. I usually sprinkle it on her food, but she will gladly eat it plain as if it were a treat.

I am not saying that Eby is cured. But I am certain that her quality of life and general health has improved dramatically. I will keep you updated. Again, I thank you for recommending this product. --- Joe from Kentucky.

SO MUCH FOR THE CLAIM THAT RESULTS FROM OUR PRODUCTS ARE ONLY PLACEBO EFFECT!!! AFTER ALL, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN A DOG POSSIBLY EXPERIENCE A PLACEBO EFFECT?

Best of Health to all of You, Stu
