Who was Dale Carnegie?

The following is excerpted from the 1983 World Book Encylopedia

CARNEGIE, DALE (1888-1955), was a pioneer in public speaking and personality development. He became famous by showing others how to become successful. His book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (1936) has sold more than 10 million copies and has been translated into many languages. His books became popular because of his illustrative stories and simple, well-phrased rules. Two of his most famous maxims are, "Believe that you will succeed, and you will," and "Learn to love, respect and enjoy other people." His other books include "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" (1948). Toward the beginning of his career, Carnegie wrote "Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business" (1931), which became a standard text.

A "Legal" joke.........

A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognised the dog as belonging to a neighbour of his. The neighbour happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbour and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$5.90."

A few days later the butcher received a cheque in the mail for $5.90. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Fee: $150.

Change of ISBN from 10 digits to 13 digits...

My first book is going for reprint now. As I was preparing for the reprint, I learned that effective January 1, 2007 the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) will change from 10 digits to 13 digits. ISBN-13 will be the exclusive ISBN to be used on books and book-related products after this date. The main reason for changing the 10-digit ISBN to 13-digit ISBN was to increase the numbering capacity of the ISBN system. Everyone who currently uses ISBNs will be affected by this change. This includes publishers, booksellers, libraries and educational institutions.

The importance of FIBER in our diet...

Fiber is important for the health of the digestive system and for lowering cholesterol. Foods containing fiber are good sources of other essential nutrients. Depending on how they're prepared, these foods are typically also low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain and fortified foods, beans and legumes are good sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. There is something good out there called Fibrada Plus. It comes in colloidal capsules. It provides necessary daily fibers and helps the digestive system eliminate wastes. The fiber naturally binds itself to waste within the body, allowing the digestive system to cleanse and eliminate toxic and unnecessary elements. Fibrada's formula includes fiber from plants such as Irish Moss which also imparts vitalising alkaline salts to the body. If you are not sure where to get it, I can direct you.

The Trouble with Vitamins

According to Dr Robert O Young, it's not that we don't try to make up for our lack of nutrients. The market is full of vitamin supplements of every kind. But even these don't completely solve the problem. Vitamin pills, too, are far removed from a nutrient's natural source of energy. They've been chemically formulated, processed, and compressed into hard, white tablets that contain virtually no electrical charge whatsoever. So when these vitamin pills pass through the system, the body must not only work to break up the hard pills, it struggles to absorb nutrients with an electrical charge so much lower than its own. In fact, most dietitians believe that as little as 3%—and only as much as 15%—of a typical supplement's nutrients are absorbed before they pass out of the body.

"Every food we eat has an electrical charge. The closer the food to its natural state, the higher the charge. Dr. Robert O. Young breaks vitamins and minerals into tiny colloidal particles that are easy to absorb-and then supercharges them so they are actually attracted to your cells and instantly utilized." said Dr Young.

Think of your body as a fish tank...

Below is the content of the email I received from Dr Robert O Young for your reading and reference.

Dear Jonathan,

The New Biology, most simply stated, is the fact that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease. In contrast, the old biology, based on the work of Louis Pasteur in the late 1800s, stems from the idea that disease comes from germs which invade the body from the outside. Dr. Young has found that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, germs are unable to get a foothold.

Think of your body as a fish tank. Think of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the internal fluids of the body that we swim in daily. Imagine the fish in this tank are your cells and organ systems bathed in fluids, which transport food and remove wastes.

Now imagine we back up a car and put the tailpipe up against the air intake filter that supplies the oxygen for the water in the tank. The water becomes filled with carbon monoxide, lowering the alkaline pH, creating and acidic pH environment, and threatening the health of the fish, your cells and organs.

What if we throw in too much food or the wrong kind of food (acid-producing food like dairy, sugar, and animal protein) and the fish are unable to consume or digest it all, and it starts to decompose and putrefy? Toxic acid waste and chemicals build up as the food breaks down, creating more acidic byproducts, altering the optimum alkaline pH.

Basically, this is a small example of what we may be doing to our internal fluids every day. We are fouling them with pollution (smoking), drugs, excessive intake of food, over-consumption of acid-forming foods (dairy food, sugar, animal protein), and any number of transgressions which compromise the delicate balance of our internal alkaline fluids.

Some of us have fish tanks (bodies) that are barely able to support life, yet we somehow manage to struggle from day to day, building more severe imbalances until there is the inevitable crash and debilitating chronic, disturbing and disorganizing symptoms to deal with.

The pH level (the acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. Indeed, the entire metabolic process depends on a balanced internal alkaline environment. A chronically over-acidic pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like acid eating into marble. If left unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain.

In summary, over-acidification interferes with life itself leading to all sickness and disease!

Feedback on My Books...

It is heartening to receive calls from readers of my book, "I Don't Like MLM!" telling me that the book is what they have been looking for. Many have read the book, bought many copies to give away to others. Nothing encourages an author more than such encouraging and kind words. Some were asking for other publications which are due to be published. My first book, "15 Forgotten Secrets That Will Make You A Better Student" is going for reprint soon. Thanks to all those who have purchased and read my books.

By the way, "I Don't Like MLM!" is available to networkers at $300 for 50 copies for a limited period of time. Those who are in the MLM industry may want to consider grabbing them while stocks last. The book is a good gift to help readers gain a balanced perspective of MLM.
