Are you losing it - a test for dementia

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!

Below is a very private way, to gauge your loss or non-loss of brain cells. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin the 6 questions.

1. What do you put in a toaster?




Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?






Answer: Cows drink water If you said "milk," don't Attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?






Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," why are you still reading these??? If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.

4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, TWO engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany . Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land"?






Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to the next question.

5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus; In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon , two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , three people get off and five people get on In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?






Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!

Now pass this along to all your friends and pray they do better than you.

A story that can change your belief levels

"How one little story can change your prospects' belief levels."

Imagine you're at work one day... and your boss comes to you and says,
"Bad news, we're going to have to fire you. Business is bad. And the economy stinks."

You feel depressed. No more career. No more regular paychecks.

And then the boss says, "You know what? If you were to work just one extra hour overtime every day for free, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, we'll let you keep your job and you can continue collecting your same paycheck."

Now, what would you do?

Well, most people would say, "Well, I will work the extra hour of overtime just to keep my job. I know I will be working the extra hour for free, but it is important to keep my present job."

And then the boss says, "Well, I know it's kind of bad news for you but there is some good news. If you work an hour of overtime, Monday through Friday for no pay, just one extra hour a day . . . at the end of two years, we'll let you retire at full pay."

All of a sudden, how do you feel?You feel like saying, "Wow! Excellent! What an opportunity! Just work one hour overtime for free, Monday through Friday, and two years from now . . . I retire at full pay!"

So what would happen? You're working overtime and six months later one of your friends says,
"Hey, why don't you quit doing that? You're working an hour overtime and not getting paid for it."

You say to your friend, "No way! I only have 18 more months to go and then I'm going to retire!"

A year from now, maybe your spouse says, "You know what, dear? You've been working that free hour of overtime for the past 12 months. Why don't you spend more time here at home instead of working that hour overtime?"

You say, "No, no, no! Just one more year and I can retire at full pay." And you would be at work faithfully, Monday through Friday, working that overtime so you could retire. And you would be excited about the opportunity.

Well, we have the same opportunity to retire with our network marketing business.We ask people to spend one hour a day, Monday through Friday building a network marketing business. And all you have to do is . . . talk to some family, friends and contacts.

And you don't have to worry too much about what you say, or how good you are, because you know what? You'll get better. The longer you do network marketing, the more you'll learn.

So maybe after the first month you say, "Gee, I really don't know what to say." The second month you get a little better and say, "Well, I know the name of the company is the Make Life Better Company." The third month you get better at this and say, "I think this is a neat business. You might want to look at it." And the fourth month you get better and better.

Just invest an hour a day. And at the end of two years you might be pleasantly surprised and say, "You know what, I can replace my full-time income and retire for the rest of my life."

So . . . would you take advantage of that opportunity?

If you are like most people, you will want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity . . . but, you won't do it.Here is why you won't do it.

A little voice inside of your head is saying, "But what if it doesn't work? What if I waste an hour a day over those two years? What if I'm not good at this? I don't know anyone who has retired in network marketing. I only know people who retired with a pension from a job. This might not be a sure thing."

Yes, you're going to have some doubt. You will have a belief problem. And that's pretty natural. So here is what we are going to do to help you with your belief.

To encourage you along the way, every so often we're going to send you a check in the mail -- just to keep your spirits up as you build your two-year business. When you get these occasional checks, you will say, "I know it works! I've got these checks to prove it." And that is why you want to start your business today.

See how this story relates to the prospect? The prospect is seeing himself and living within the story.

That is why I love to use stories. Prospects forget the facts, the percentages, and the ingredients, but they will always remember the stories.

Endometriosis - do you know the symptoms?

FROM bloating to back pain to painful cramps, menstrual cycle problems are common, but usually not that serious.

But if a women has endometriosis, a gynaecological disorder that affects as many as one in 10 Malaysian women, she may experience crippling pain, gastrointestinal problems, pain during and after sex, painful bowel movents or urination, infertility, lower back pain, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, fatigue and heavy or irregular bleeding .

However, although it’s one of the most common health problems for women, endometriosis is often overlooked and frequently misdiagnosed. Dr Susan Evans, an Australian endometriosis specialist and author of the book Endometriosis and other pelvic pain, said it’s because the symptoms of endometriosis are so similar to a regular menstrual period that the signs are overlooked.

“Each month, when a woman gets her period, the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks down and is shed as menstrual flow. “When a woman has endometriosis, the kind of tissue that makes up the lining of the uterus also shows up in other parts of her body, including the ovaries, the bowels, and the bladder.

“During her period, this tissue breaks down — but since it’s outside the uterus, it can’t leave the body during menstruation, and cysts and scar tissue may form as a result,” explained Dr Evans, who was in Kuala Lumpur recently for the second Asia Pacific Endometriosis Alliance scientific meeting.

Endometriosis can occur at any age to any girl or woman during her menstruating years. Unfortunately, experts have not yet been able to isolate one particular cause of endometrioses.
While there are various theories floating around, most agree that excess estrogen in the body can make the condition worse.

Deborah Bush, CEO of the New Zealand Endometriosis Foundation, who also attended the alliance meeting, said that there is strong evidence to suggest that endometriosis may be genetic. “Women who have a family history of the problem are more likely to have it, as are their daughters,” she said. Bush explained that the patches of endometriosis can vary in size from the size of a pinhead to large clumps, and it tends to get worse over time without treatment.

Some women with endometriosis have no signs and symptoms at all, and the disease is discovered when they’re trying to get pregnant. “Pain is a common symptom of endometriosis. However, severity of pain isn’t necessarily a reliable indicator of the extent of the condition.

”The prevalence among Malaysian women who have it is said to be on par with the global estimate — roughly occuring in 10 per cent of women during their reproductive years.

Conference chairman Colonel Dr Hanifullah Khan, of Lumut, Perak, said that the rate may be as high as 35 per cent among infertile women. “Although endometriosis is typically diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 35, the problem probably begins about the time that regular menstruation begins,” he said.

There is no cure (drugs he means) for endometriosis, but there are ways to reduce the pain it causes, restore fertility, and shrink the size of the “lost” tissue.However, the best long-term treatment option is to remove the offending tissue if possible.

Many ladies with endometriosis have used natural herbs like Perform a hormone regulator, Red Clover Plus containing natural plant estrogens and Native Legend Tea, an Essiac formulation to successfully prevent, arrest and reverse Endometriosis.
