1. We can't get all the nutrition we need from our foods anymore due to the reasons discussed ( mainly farming methods, frozen foods,early picking, processing ,etc). The literature is all there and people can research it. You can refer to the two links below for more detail and also watch the full version of the DVD "Food Matters"
2. We are getting more free radicals now than any other generation due to an increase in pollutants in our air,water, food, stress, etc, Therefore there is a huge gap. We haven't got enough antioxidants from our foods anymore ( as discussed above) , to neutralise the free radicals.
3. Medical literature and thousands of clinical trials have shown that most diseases ( over 90%) , are due to a deficiency in vitamins or minerals over a long period of time. eg. Heart disease, cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, etc, IQ levels have even shown to improve with supplementation. ( if anyone wants some of these trials I can forward to them). Also the medical association has finally admitted we can't get all the nutrients we need from our foods anymore. I have attached the document.( JAMA vitamins)
4. Cellular nutrition is simply based on giving the body what it needs in optimal amounts so the body can rectify any problems you might have and also supply the body what it needs to keep your cells healthy.
4. Usana's products are based on what "science" has shown to have an effect on the body and not "marketing". Therefore Usana's products have been manufactured to Pharmaceutical Grade. This is why our products are listed in the e-mims ( which doctors use as a reference when treating patients)
5. Hundreds of doctors, naturopaths are using Usana products with remarkable results and many of our products are backed by clinical trials.
6. Usana's products have been rated no1 by independent authorities and scientists. I have attached document ("Essentials Gold Standard") Also there is a link below from the Today Tonight Show.
7. Behind this company is a scientist ( Dr Myron Wentz ) who has studied and kept cells alive for over 40 years by feeding them the proper nutrition and is behind many of the test kits in hospitals today used for detecting diseases. He is most famous for the Glandular Fever test kit which detects the Ebstein's Bar Virus. He knows first hand what cells need to stay healthy. He won the ' Albeit Einstein Award' for his "Contribution to the advancement of the health of mankind. " Very few people have won this award. I attached document and below is a quote from the article.
The Albert Einstein Award, given by Global Capital Associates, salutes leaders whose vision and commitmenthave contributed to the critical advancement of vital life-saving and life-enhancing technology to benefit mankind.
Dr. Wentz received the award in recognition of his many scientific and charitable endeavours.
8. Olympic athletes as well as 400 of the women's tennis players are using the products( 75 out of the top 100). Usana is the only company that has given the athletes a million dollar guarantee that there are no toxic or banned substances in the product.( Document attached "WTA Tennis supplies")
On the business side:
- Usana has been rated the no1 company in MLM every year since 1997.
- Business week has listed Usana as one of the Hottest Growth Companies.
- Forbes listed Usana in the Top 20 three years in a row! ( I have attached "accolades" flyer)
- It has gained recognition as one of the hottest stocks on the market.
- Usana had 20 consecutive growth quarters! ( This is a remarkable statistic. Anybody that knows about business will tell you that it is remarkable to have more than 2 consecutive growth quarters, let alone 20!)
Last of all,.....
Important points when choosing a home based business;
1. Residual or passive income, ( doing the work once and getting paid again and again. In other words getting paid when you stop working)
2. Leveraging. Not having to do the work all on your own and trading dollars for hours.
3. Getting in front of trends. In other words what people need in today's economy and are spending money on, ( something that is growing and very importantly something that will be ongoing. Not just what people want, but what they NEED and can't do without). Eg. Health will always be a main priority. ( attached document by Paul Zane Pilzer "Creating Fortunes in the New Economy").His links are also below. It is also important that you are the "change agent". In other words , see these things before others do and get the information out there. Not wait till everything becomes evident. Just remember we are living in an "information age" and if you can provide solutions to people's problems that is where you make money. The two biggest problems at the moment are Health and Money and Usana is positioned like no other company to provide solutions to these problems.
4. Choose a product or service that is unique and doesn't compete on price. ( otherwise someone will just undercut you). Also importantly choose a product or service that has repeat sales.( This is what provides residual income).
This is where Usana has been rated the best opportunity as a "complete" business model with all these components. You can refer to some of the links below where some of the most intelligent and most reputable people like Robert Allen, Dr Denis Waitley and Sonia Williams talk about Usana being the best opportunity they have ever come across and why.
And most importantly,..
5. Association. Work with people that can help you promote the products and build your business. Eg. Can help you with tools, presentations, training and support.
Hope this helps, let me know what questions you have from here.
