ProArgi-9+ and Alzheimer's

ProArgi-9+ and Alzheimer's


Here is a video of Dr. Prendergast discussing Alzheimer's.
http://www.argi9solutions.com/angels/video-prendergast-alzheimers.html


Here are medical studies related to Alzheimer's.
Arginine and
Alzheimer's

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3064266/?tool=pubmed Endothelial nitric oxide modulates expression and processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP is the coating on neurons that is indicative of Alzheimer's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_precursor_protein ...amyloid fibrillar form is the primary component of amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.

Reveratrol and
Alzheimer's 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3248406/ 
Alzheimer disease (AD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of β–amyloid (Aβ)-containing senile plaque.  ...
By combining the treatment with Aβ, resveratrol was able to confer a significant improvement in spatial memory, and protect animals from Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22118570
Importantly, orally administered resveratrol in a mouse model of cerebral amyloid deposition lowered microglial activation associated with cortical amyloid plaque formation. Together this work provides strong evidence that resveratrol has in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects against Aβ-triggered microglial activation. 

Vitamin D and
Alzheimer's 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22261995
Baseline vitamin D deficiency predicted the onset of NAD (Non Alzheimer's Dementia) within 7 years among older women

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22202127 In conclusion,vitamin D clearly has a beneficial role in AD and improves cognitive function in some patients with AD (Alzheimer's Dementia).

List of 20
It occurs to me that somebody might not know who is writing this.  It's Scott Norton.  So this call we addressed the "List of 20".  Let's face it, your Synergy business doesn't start until you produce your list.  We can't help others unless we go through the process of making a list.

So I made my list.  This is the first time I have ever made a list like this and it was enlightening.  It was a little difficult, even though I'm supposedly experienced with this Synergy Business thing.  I went through my Google Contacts and emails first and that triggered several more names.  Then I started pushing out to some people I wouldn't have considered before.  Now I'm excited (yes, a little excited) to approach these people.

Out of 20 people on your list, you will find 2 to 5 who are ready for ProArgi9.  That means at least 15 will not be interested.  Big deal!  You are started with your business and 2 to 5 people is all you need.

Your next step is where this business gets fun.  You'll be working with the new people that your sponsors bring to you. You won't be getting rejection any longer because you are now talking with people who are excited.  


2X2 Builder Bonus
This is a Synergy Promotion that pays $200 when you sign up 2 people and help them sponsor 2 people each.  It doesn't matter which side you sponsor, only that you sponsor 2 and help them sponsor 2.  You can find the form in your back office (synergy pulse)  
https://pulse.synergyworldwide.com/

Print out a form and get started by contacting the people on your list. 

Sharing
So we have our list, we have our 2X2 Builder Bonus form and now we have to talk to somebody. 
This isn't so difficult.  I use a brochure, a DVD and the "NO More Heart Disease" book to do all the talking for me.  I say, "ProArgi9 helped me, this material tell you all about it.  If you think you can look it over in the next couple of days, I'll leave it with you.  But I need it back because I have others waiting for it."

Honestly, it really doesn't matter what you say.  Most people you meet are desperate to get their Blood Pressure down and get off meds.  They know it's killing them.  The main thing is to get out and contact your list of 20.

Don't try and do it all in one week either.  There are only so many people you can follow up with at a time.  The FOLLOW UP is the most important part of this process.  If you contact more people than you can follow up with, you're wasting your effort.

The importance of visualizing.
Michael shared with me a study that radically changed my point of view with visualization.  Here's the study. 

Visualization is an often-taught mental rehearsal technique in sports. It is an extremely powerful tool and numerous studies have been done to test this. You may have heard of this basketball study or a different one with similar results.
A study conducted by Dr. Blaslotto at the University of Chicago was done where he split people into three groups and tested each group on how many free throws they could make.
After this, he had the first group practice free throws every day for an hour.

The second group just visualized themselves making free throws.

The third group did nothing.

After 30 days, he tested them again.
The first group improved by 24%.

The second group improved by 23% without touching a basketball!!!!

The third group did not improve which was expected.

Picture by Hape Gera

We're not condoning being lazy and not practicing. What we're trying to drive home is imagine what you could do if you implemented both practice and the mental rehearsal technique of visualization. The sky is the limit. You can apply this to all sports and if you do, it can do wonders for you and your team.

I am the guy who is shooting baskets and forgetting to visualize.  But I think I can change.  Stephen Covey made this his 2nd habit for "Highly Effective People".  "Begin with the end in mind."  "all things are created twice, first mentally, then physically."  Before I remodel my kitchen, I have mentally done all the work.  Organizing in my mind how to tear everything out, where will the power go, what will we do with the plumbing.  I've all ready created the kitchen in my mind before I start the project. 

But what are we visualizing?

We are using Bart Woodcook's "Taproot Training" video as our guide to building our business. 
It's found on this page of your Argi9Solutions.com website.
Here is the link to the video.

Here's the message I want to emphasize.  

Getting started is hard. There's inertia, rejection and all sorts of negative things that get in your way. He calls this Phase 1.  Get past this as fast as you can because after you have sponsored your first new distributors it gets real easy and there's a lot of satisfaction.  
Phase 1  is in 4 parts,
  1. Make a list of 20 people.
  2. Share the Proargi9 message with them
  3. Followup
  4. Use your upline to answer questions and help sponsor them.  
Phase 2 is helping the people you sponsored do the same thing.  Then help those people do the same thing. The BIG news here is that once you have sponsored your first people, you begin working with their best people who are excited and ready to get started.  Soon you are only talking with excited people, no rejection anymore.

This is what has happened to me. 

Lets Visualize then.
Before you go to sleep, visualize how you will make a list of 20 people.  Visualize sharing the ProArgi9 message and visualize the followup.  

Let's make our lists.
Now lets do it. 

Here's a video from Argi9solutions.com on sharing.  I will be adding more but this is a start.

Here is a video on followup.

Our mission is to teach Wellness Providers how to implement strategies that can dramatically increase the level of care provided to patients, increase patient confidence in the management of their care, distinguish practitioner as a superior caregiver, attract a highly desirable patient audience, and dramatically increase the profitability of practitioner's wellness practice.

Dear Colleague,
My name is Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast. I am a board certified Endocrinologist and have been practicing medicine for over 35 years in Palo Alto, California. I am associated with the individual that has given you this information in hopes to pass on some vitally important information for you. Please let me explain.
I have worked closely with Victor J. Dzau, MD (Cardiology) from Duke University who is currently chancellor for health affairs and President and CEO of Duke University Health System, and Bryan Williams, MD, PhD, the number one Cardiologist in Europe from Leicester School of Medicine in England who just stepped down from his position as President of the European Society of Cardiology.
The three of us, in addition to a host of other MDs and PhDs including the Laureate of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Dr. Louis J. Ignarro, have shared a great passion in understanding and isolating the significant benefits L-Arginine offers in many processes of the human body. As you are probably already aware, profound benefits have been discovered and validated through medical protocols using L-arginine. This is exciting to many of us.
VALIDATION
I started administering medical protocols involving elemental L-arginine within my own medical practice over 20 years ago. More recently, I have added state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment that has enabled me to identify and treat cardiovascular disease with clinical accuracy.
THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION "FATHER OF THE YEAR" AWARD
Due to the significant results of these protocols and utilization of this new diagnostic information the ADA recently awarded me their prestigious "Father of the Year" award. They awarded me this honor specifically for:
#1 "Clinically testing and documenting the results of more than 6,000 of my own patients"
#2 "Admitting less than 1% of my patients to the hospital for 19 years"
#3 "Not losing ONE patient to heart attack or stroke in 19 years"
THE PROOF
The High Desert Heart Institute has recently conducted a Comprehensive Human Clinical Trial on Dr. Prendergast's formulation to prove its efficacy. The results  of this clinical trial are highly favorable and have caught the attention of the scientific and medical communities, globally. This study has successfully demonstrated the power behind this formulation and represents the impetus of many more clinical trials to come. Listen to the results of the High Desert Heart Institute Clinical Study HERE.
THE FRUSTRATION
As health care providers, we don't have time to evaluate and research every new protocol or product that is introduced to us. Yet many of us wish we had a better understanding of these protocols, new products, and their role in medicine today. Many of us have realized we must figure out a new way to remain competitive and profitable in these changing times, but most importantly we want to be able to offer our patients the highest quality of care available. Simply put, as wellness providers, it is critical we remain highly competitive in today's medical environment.
THE ANSWER
My goal is to create a strategic partnership of forward thinking physicians and wellness providers who want to enter the new frontier of medicine utilizing these new strategies and uniting in our purpose and scope of knowledge to assure the quality of care for our patients and the viability of our practices. I invite you to learn about this new partnership.
INFORMATIONAL ROUND TABLE
I would like to invite you to attend a "Practitioner Only" informational webinar where we will give you specific details of the procedures, the protocols, the diagnostic tools we have been using, the profit study and details of the income potential this System offers you, and how you can implement these strategies in your own personal practice if you desire.
These are historic times in medicine! Thank you for your time and I hope we speak soon.
J. Joseph Prendergast

A Great Readers Digest Article on Vitamin D3

From Reader's Digest - April 2010
This article goes over several Vitamin Myths and ends with this paragraph.
Truth: A pill that's worth taking
As studies have eroded the hopes placed in most vitamin supplements, one pill is looking better and better. Research suggests that vitamin D protects against a long list of ills: Men with adequate levels of D have about half the risk of heart attack as men who are deficient. And getting enough D appears to lower the risk of at least half a dozen cancers; indeed, epidemiologist Cedric Garland, MD, at the University of California, San Diego, believes that if Americans got sufficient amounts of vitamin D, 50,000 cases of colorectal cancer could be prevented each year.

But many—perhaps most—Americans fall short, according to research by epidemiologist Adit Ginde, MD, at the University of Colorado, Denver. Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin: You make it when sunlight hits your skin. Yet thanks to sunscreen and workaholic (or TV-aholic) habits, most people don't make enough.

How much do you need? The Institute of Medicine is reassessing that right now; most experts expect a big boost from the current levels (200 to 600 IU daily). It's safe to take 1,000 IU per day, says Ginde. "We think most people need at least that much."

So here's the Reader's Digest Version of the truth about vitamins: Eat right, and supplement with vitamin D. That's a no-brainer coupled with a great bet—and that's no lie. 


Here's the full Readers Digest article

Once upon a time, you believed in the tooth fairy. You counted on the stability of housing prices and depended on bankers to be, well, dependable. And you figured that taking vitamins was good for you. Oh, it's painful when another myth gets shattered. Recent research suggests that a daily multi is a waste of money for most people—and there's growing evidence that some other old standbys may even hurt your health. Here's what you need to know.

Myth: A multivitamin can make up for a bad diet
An insurance policy in a pill? If only it were so.

Last year, researchers published new findings from the Women's Health Initiative, a long-term study of more than 160,000 midlife women. The data showed that multivitamin-takers are no healthier than those who don't pop the pills, at least when it comes to the big diseases—cancer, heart disease, stroke. "Even women with poor diets weren't helped by taking a multivitamin," says study author Marian Neuhouser, PhD, in the cancer prevention program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in Seattle.

Vitamin supplements came into vogue in the early 1900s, when it was difficult or impossible for most people to get a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables year-round. Back then, vitamin-deficiency diseases weren't unheard-of: the bowed legs and deformed ribs of rickets (caused by a severe shortage of vitamin D) or the skin problems and mental confusion of pellagra (caused by a lack of the B vitamin niacin). But these days, you're extremely unlikely to be seriously deficient if you eat an average American diet, if only because many packaged foods are vitamin-enriched. Sure, most of us could do with a couple more daily servings of produce, but a multi doesn't do a good job at substituting for those. "Multivitamins have maybe two dozen ingredients—but plants have hundreds of other useful compounds," Neuhouser says. "If you just take a multivitamin, you're missing lots of compounds that may be providing benefits."

That said, there is one group that probably ought to keep taking a multi-vitamin: women of reproductive age. The supplement is insurance in case of pregnancy. A woman who gets adequate amounts of the B vitamin folate is much less likely to have a baby with a birth defect affecting the spinal cord. Since the spinal cord starts to develop extremely early—before a woman may know she's pregnant—the safest course is for her to take 400 micrograms of folic acid (the synthetic form of folate) daily. And a multi is an easy way to get it.

Myth: Vitamin C is a cold fighter
In the 1970s, Nobel laureate Linus Pauling popularized the idea that vitamin C could prevent colds. Today, drugstores are full of vitamin C–based remedies. Studies say: Buyer, beware.

In 2007, researchers analyzed a raft of studies going back several decades and involving more than 11,000 subjects to arrive at a disappointing conclusion: Vitamin C didn't ward off colds, except among marathoners, skiers, and soldiers on subarctic exercises.

Of course, prevention isn't the only game in town. Can the vitamin cut the length of colds? Yes and no. Taking the vitamin daily does seem to reduce the time you'll spend sniffling—but not enough to notice. Adults typically have cold symptoms for 12 days a year; a daily pill could cut that to 11 days. Kids might go from 28 days of runny noses to 24 per year. The researchers conclude that minor reductions like these don't justify the expense and bother of year-round pill-popping (taking C only after symptoms crop up doesn't help).

Myth: Vitamin pills can prevent heart disease
Talk about exciting ideas—the notion that vitamin supplements might help lower the toll of some of our most damaging chronic diseases turned a sleepy area of research into a sizzling-hot one. These high hopes came in part from the observation that vitamin-takers were less likely to develop heart disease. Even at the time, researchers knew the finding might just reflect what's called the healthy user effect—meaning that vitamin devotees are more likely to exercise, eat right, and resist the temptations of tobacco and other bad habits. But it was also possible that antioxidant vitamins like C, E, and beta-carotene could prevent heart disease by reducing the buildup of artery-clogging plaque. B vitamins were promising, too, because folate, B6, and B12 help break down the amino acid homocysteine—and high levels of homocysteine have been linked to heart disease.

Unfortunately, none of those hopes have panned out.

An analysis of seven vitamin E trials concluded that it didn't cut the risk of stroke or of death from heart disease. The study also scrutinized eight beta-carotene studies and determined that, rather than prevent heart disease, those supplements produced a slight increase in the risk of death. Other big studies have shown vitamin C failing to deliver. As for B vitamins, research shows that yes, these do cut homocysteine levels …but no, that doesn't make a dent in heart danger.

Don't take these pills, the American Heart Association says. Instead, the AHA offers some familiar advice: Eat a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Myth: Taking vitamins can protect against cancer
Researchers know that unstable molecules called free radicals can damage your cells' DNA, upping the risk of cancer. They also know that antioxidants can stabilize free radicals, theoretically making them much less dangerous. So why not take some extra antioxidants to protect yourself against cancer? Because research so far has shown no good comes from popping such pills.

A number of studies have tried and failed to find a benefit, like a recent one that randomly assigned 5,442 women to take either a placebo or a B-vitamin combo. Over the course of more than seven years, all the women experienced similar rates of cancers and cancer deaths. In Neuhouser's enormous multivitamin study, that pill didn't offer any protection against cancer either. Nor did C, E, or beta-carotene in research done at Harvard Medical School.

Myth: Hey, it can't hurt
The old thinking went something like this—sure, vitamin pills might not help you, but they can't hurt either. However, a series of large-scale studies has turned this thinking on its head, says Demetrius Albanes, MD, a nutritional epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute.

The shift started with a big study of beta-carotene pills. It was meant to test whether the antioxidant could prevent lung cancer, but researchers instead detected surprising increases in lung cancer and deaths among male smokers who took the supplement. No one knew what to make of the result at first, but further studies have shown it wasn't a fluke—there's a real possibility that in some circumstances, antioxidant pills could actually promote cancer (in women as well as in men). Other studies have raised concerns that taking high doses of folic acid could raise the risk of colon cancer. Still others suggest a connection between high doses of some vitamins and heart disease.

Vitamins are safe when you get them in food, but in pill form, they can act more like a drug, Albanes says—with the potential for unexpected and sometimes dangerous effects.

Truth: A pill that's worth taking
As studies have eroded the hopes placed in most vitamin supplements, one pill is looking better and better. Research suggests that vitamin D protects against a long list of ills: Men with adequate levels of D have about half the risk of heart attack as men who are deficient. And getting enough D appears to lower the risk of at least half a dozen cancers; indeed, epidemiologist Cedric Garland, MD, at the University of California, San Diego, believes that if Americans got sufficient amounts of vitamin D, 50,000 cases of colorectal cancer could be prevented each year.

For those of you who have been using our Disk #10 and #11, this is the DVD you've been waiting for. This is a much better and more stable DVD.  

The Steve Seely group is getting at least 90% sigh-up rate with this DVD.  Steve's group is the fasted growing organization in Synergy.
  • Remastered - No more stretched video. I have gone back to the original video and remastered each selection in the same resolution and format.   This DVD is in the widescreen 16:9 format. 
  • High Desert Heart Institute ProArgi9 Study - This is the best info on the HDHI Study.  I have completely reworked this video.  It has current info and interviews with Dr. Siva Arunasalm, Dan Austin as well as Angelo Cici.  I have edited Angelo's video down to 4 minutes on himself and 4 minute about the other patients. 
  • New Menu Feature - This DVD defaults to a new menu that has all the titles on the front page.  I've also put in an introduction, that explains how to use the DVD. 
  • 2 Hours of Video - I really edited down the videos to be able to fit this much info on the DVD.  It's got as much as you can put on a DVD. 
  • New Video! - In addition to Dr. Siva and Dan Austin, we have Melissa Crambett, an Iraq War Vet with an amazing story of recovering from Post Traumatic Stress.  Also new is Sherry Burns who was suffering from crippling arthritis. There's a new 7 minute video of Dr. Prendergast discussing diabetes.
