Green before Green was Cool!

How Cool is That?

Melaleuca has changed quite a bit since the last time I was a customer there. The idea remains the same both for safer products, as well as a good income when worked as a business. I know the routine by heart…. buy my stuff there instead of Wal Mart, it’s delivered to my door and it’s better, healthier products! Pretty straight forward it seems. I know this is pretty simple to comprehend, but in my head it was always a business and business means sales. I’ll mention now I HATE SALES. Want to know what I hate even more? Well let me tell you COLD CALLING SUCKS!

What I liked and still do about Melaleuca is, it isn’t sales. I don’t have to sell you (aka convince you) to buy washing powder, you’re going to buy it anyway. I don’t have to tell you about buying dish soap, you’re going to buy it anyway. What I WILL tell you is by shopping at Melaleuca instead of the local grocery store it is possible to make money while doing so and sharing your idea with others! Not a bad deal.

Do you know this month if 8 of your friends become a preferred customer and do the same thing, you can make $120 a month? THIS my friend, is DOABLE! How cool is that?

Many people try a popular over-the-counter herb called St. John’s Wort. Some studies do suggest that this herbal remedy may be helpful for mild depression, but not moderate or severe.

Be aware that St. John’s Wort has potential drug interactions and should NOT be taken with prescription antidepressants, birth control pills, protease inhibitors for HIV, theophylline, warfarin, digoxin, reserpine, cyclosporine, or loperamide. Talk to your doctor if you are thinking about trying this herb for mild depression.

My MelaPower is In! :)

wilcat — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:12:13 +0000

I have to admit, since my MelaPower has come in I’ve washed almost everything in my house!! LOL Honestly, I havn’t done the research on MelaPower. I just use it because the MelaPower makes my clothes smell SO GOOD! I must also mention that they have now come out with a concentrate that takes so little to use for a wash load it would blow your mind! It DEFINITELY saves me money AND trips to WallyWorld. Now my clothes smell good and I don’t have to worry about pouring chemicals on my clothes to clean them! I’ve also been using the MelaSoft fabric sheets and like them as well.

You may wonder why I havn’t researched the MelaPower and added it to my blog yet if I like it so much. There is actually a good reason for this! The main reason I’m not really worried about it is because nothing can be worse than using most of the washing detergents on the market. If anyone knows of an MSDS sheet somewhere telling me I’ll get cancer if I keep using my MelaPower, please let me know about it.

In the meantime, I’ll move on to other questions in my head I’d like answered!

Oligo.. WHAT?

Ok, so first thing this morning I decided to find out just what Melaleuca has done since I last bought products from them. My first question is Oligo-WHAT?? Well, it seems they are pretty excited about it, so I guess it’s time to do a little research!! Let’s see what I can find.

First off, what is the purpose of this wonderful Oligofructose complex and why was it thought of in the first place?
( I’m not going to reference every quote I find regarding this stuff, nor is it guaranteed to be verbatim, just English and accurate! Why you ask? …. 1. It’s my blog and I don’t have to. 2. I trust my research on the subject!) Now for the answer!!

Scientists have discovered that most vitamins are poorly absorbed and even worse, prevent both natural and commercial antioxidant supplements (vitamins that reduce the risk of serious diseases) from working. Dr. Garry R. Buettner is the head of the Free Radical Research Institute, from the University of Iowa. He is considered the world’s number one authority in the field of free radical research, and made the discovery along with researchers from Melaleuca Inc., (considered one of the world’s leading wellness companies, and a registered pharmaceutical company).

Melaleuca has filed for a patent on a new discovery – oligofructose complex - now the world’s only vitamin process that accomplishes two things: (1) proper mineral absorption, and (2) does not destroy the value of anti-oxidants.

The breakthrough centers on antioxidants. Antioxidants fight disease and help you live longer. You can find them in berries and supplements.” Oligofructose Complex helps you keep anti-oxidants in your body! Everyone knows what antioxidants are right? Those are the good guys that help our body fight off diseases. Yeah, I could get technical with you but this post is about ogliofructose right?

Until the recent announcement, Melaleuca had been the only company in the world with a patent on vitamin and mineral absorption. That patent, commonly called fructose compounding, expired recently and the company has replaced it with its new Oligofructose complex.

I’m Officially Green!

wilcat — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:49:17 +0000

Well, I decided to go ahead and do it! I’ve formally joined Melaleuca again, and now it’s time to get busy doing my homework on their products while going green! I’d decided last week I didn’t want to put off buying some of Melaleuca’s MelaPower and MelaSoft any longer. MelaPower was no doubt my favorite Melaleuca product! I’m the type of person who isn’t thrilled about shopping in the first place. Standing in the detergent isle at WalMart sniffing this washing powder and that washing powder really sucks. I even asked my sister what she uses because her clothes always smell so good. I bought and tried what she uses and the result just wasn’t the same. My clothes still didn’t have that smell I wanted them to have. The only place to get that smell again was through Melaleuca!

I guess that’s what really got me thinking about Melaleuca again. I’d joined years ago and really could have cared less about what was friendly to the environment, much less having to tell someone about it, regardless if there was money to be made in the long run. I do know as far back as I’ve known about Melaleuca, everything they said and promoted had something to do with being environmentally friendly or good for you.

Now we shall try it and see! Right now I’d like to personally go green and learn all I can. Then I can actually help others go green and lead healthier lives. Not only that…. Going Green brings in Green!! You can also make money while buying products that are friendly to use and are delivered right to your door!

I know by now Tim is wondering where the hell I went. I just joined and now I’m already lost in my own little world! (btw Tim and Linda Hutchinson are my original sponsors from way back in the day!) Guess i’ll go do the routine stuff and set up my Melalauca website now!

Ok so I’ve been here done this before … so what? Maybe I missed something. Maybe there was a real concept there that I missed. Either way, I find myself drawn back into the fold of using Melaleuca again. Little did I realize back then that Melaleuca, and their “green” idea, was something to really think about. Who would have figured in just a matter of years living green would be not only a healthier way of life but is now becoming a necessity more than ever.

I think I’m going to dig and blog this adventure to see where it takes me!
