Attraction Marketing describes the behavior trend of how people are using the internet to build a successful home business today. They are abandoning ineffective Old School network marketing methods that had you pounding the telephones with cold-calling expensive dead-beat leads, dragging someone to a home or hotel opportunity meeting, hanging flyers, and bugging your friends and relatives to support your dreams. There was a three foot rule that anyone who came within three feet of you was your next prospect. This was not a win-win marketing model for many people trying to do internet network marketing. So impersonal! So devoid of caring! So filled with rejection! Is it any wonder that the revival of Attraction Marketing–now often referred to as “Web 2.0″ or the “New School”–made so much sense?
But has this not been, in reality, a revival of Attraction Marketing that has been taking place. How did people choose their business associates before there was an internet? They welcomed the referrals of others who had good experiences. They returned to shop at the places that gave them value in their association, that addressed their needs with the spirit of a gladly-given service, and that helped them find solutions to their problems. This was really a form of Attraction Marketing before the internet had stepped in.
How have people seen their role on the internet change to help them in their online business now that they realize the good sense that Attraction Marketing does make? One major thing people now realize is what an astounding source of information the internet can be. And they, themselves, can be contributors to that tremendous resource. They can participate in many areas of social marketing, giving real value before getting a return. They can dig deep to learn what is the niche that really interests them, and therefore, who is their target market. They can educate themselves about the area they are pursuing, become an expert in this area, and write information-filled articles which they can then submit to the internet in proper form. Growing this content of such useful information and making it available for others on the internet will serve to “brand” them as an important item in this arena–the expert, the entrepreneur, the leader, the solution finder, the trusted friend. Thus, great content from YOU will encourage visitors to think about you as a person they know and like in the most positive of terms. So the power of Attraction Marketing is not new, and it is being revived for good reason.

There are about 80,000 known antioxidants at this time, most of which have not been named but are grouped by classes. You can begin getting acquainted with the antioxidants in your food intake. Since scientists don’t know every antioxidant in a plant, they developed a measure that indicates the total antioxidant potential. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values are used to identify the antioxidant potency of various foods and food supplements. We each need between 3,800 and 5,500 ORAC units/day to maintain health. A broad assortment of food is necessary to get that amount. Supplementation is a sure way to maintain adequate levels. Fruits are high in water-soluble antioxidants while vegetables are higher in oil-soluble antioxidants. Both are needed in varying amounts .
The greatest antioxidant out there (at this time) is resveratrol. Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School accidently stumbled upon resveratrol while he was searching for a substance that would activate the “sirtuin” gene–the gene which scientists believe actually controls the aging process and which plays a key role in the speed at which your body ages.
To be sure, resveratrol is no ordinary antioxidant. Dr. Sinclair went on to make a number of important discoveries about resveratrol between 2003 and 2006. First of all, resveratrol’s chemical structure gives it the ability to activate the Sirtuin gene. And then it has the power to reverse the aging process, to literally reset the human biological clock–which has been called the most important breakthrough in health in the last 100 years.
Dr. Sinclair also learned that resveratrol restores the stability of a gene after the gene has been damaged and put under stress; so it brings the gene back into balance. He also observed that reseveratrol is found and manufactured in all cells of all living creatures–that is, the cells manufacture resveratrol and then they recycle it when they are put under stress. He also put his finger on its role in effecting one of the genetic factors in aging.
Resveratrol didn’t really come into the health picture until about 1993 when it was shown to reduce plaque in the arteries of people who develop hardening of the arteries. . . In five years or less you can expect to see a “pill form” of resveratrol–a drug form–and then the Food and Drug Administraton can step into the picture. Note: In 2008 the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline purchased Dr. Sinclair’s and Dr. Christoph Westphal’s Cambridge-based research company, Sirtris, for three quarters of a billion dollars. . . . .
If you Google “resveratrol” on the internet, you’ll find many forms, sources, concentrations, and many claims.
Lottie Jenvey can tell you that the product she began in the fall of 2008 contains four active ingredients: (1) Muscadine Grape extract, Vitis rotundifolia, the super grape with the extra chromosome, (2) Purple Carrot extract Daucus carota (root), (3) European Elderberry extract (Sambucus nigra), and (4) trans-Resveratrol (Polygonium cuspidatum) standardized to a minimum of 98% purity; this product has been shown to impact all of the four aspects of cellular aging. Three months after beginning this product, she was rewarded with a totally normal lipid panel numbers and was able to quit the use of a cholesterol-lowering drug. NOTE: This is not a claim that resveratrol is a cholesterol-lowering substance, but it will continue to be the subject of many future studies on Marketing by this enthusiast, an octogenarian and a former medical technologist. She has had a long-time passion for living in harmony with Nature and in helping people on issues to find a longer and healthier life.

Anti-Aging Secrets, Resveratrol, and Your Longer Healthier Life
“Anti-aging secrets” was the quest of Ponce de Leon in his lifetime search for the fountain of youth. Today you can grasp just some of these anti-aging secrets and be on your way to living more and healthier years for yourself. If you have visited the 60 Minutes segment entitled “Wine Rx” (available on the internet), you will find the antioxidant resveratrol at the center of their discussions. And it will be the center of many discussions on anti-aging secrets for a long time to come.
Resveratrol’s introduction into the picture came in about 1993 when it was shown to reduce plaque in arteries of people who develop hardening of the arteries. When Science in 1997 reported that topical resveratrol applications prevented the development of skin cancer in mice that had been treated with a carcinogen, this substance was not yet known to have anti-aging properties. Then in 2003 Dr. David Sinclair at Harvard Medical School (along with other researchers) reported in the periodical, Nature, that resveratrol significantly extended the lifespan of a certain yeast. Since then there have been 2,000 studies referencing resveratrol in scientific publications.
In a recent interview with Barbara Walters, Dr. Sinclair talked about his discovery of the “sirtuin” gene which scientists believe actually controls the aging process and which plays a key role in the speed at which your body ages. These genes are proteins that every cell manufactures, and they act like secret silencing agents (“ SIR” stands for “Silent Information Regulators” ). The sirtuins are “quiet”—as long as everything is fine. But as soon as you are put under stress, they activate and jump in to try to slow down the aging process.
Certainly “sirtuin” and “resveratrol” had become the buzz words in the health and wellness industry.
It was in the process of his searching for the chemical that would activate the sirtuin genes that Dr. Sinclair stumbled upon resveratrol. Between 2003 and 2006 Dr. Sinclair made a number of important discoveries about resveratrol. First of all, resveratrol’s chemical structure gives it the ability to activate the Sirtuin gene. And then it has the power to reverse the aging process, to literally reset the human biological clock–which has been called the most important breakthrough in health in the last 100 years. He learned that resveratrol restores the stability of a gene after the gene has been damaged and put under stress; so it brings the gene back into balance. He also observed that reseveratrol is found and manufactured in all cells of all living creatures–that is, the cells manufacture resveratrol and then they recycle it when they are put under stress. He also put his finger on its role in effecting one of the genetic factors in aging. So Dr. Sinclair has uncovered some very valuable anti-aging secrets, and in the opinion of this author, is a candidate for a Nobel Prize. The significance of all this can be seen in the 2008 purchase by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline of Dr. Sinclair’s and Dr. Christoph Westphal’s Cambridge-based research company, Sirtris, for three quarters of a billion dollars.
NOTE: To delve more deeply, you are referred to a 10-page article entitled “Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity Genes” by David Sinclair and Lenny Guarente, appearing in the February 2006 Scientific American and available on the internet. Here in 2006 Dr. Sinclair stated that we will not know definitely and exactly how resveratrol holds the key to our health and longevity for decades.

Anti-Aging Secrets and Resveratrol
The greatest anti-aging secret of the decade is resveratrol, but it was over 50 years ago that medical science told you that you could live a healthier and longer life if you paid attention to some of the basic laws of Nature. Why not, then, have the advantage of both by practicing these basic laws of Nature as well as seeking the best resveratrol product available?
THE BASIC LAWS OF NATURE: There are four factors directly related to how long you are going to live.
1. OBESITY
Obesity shortens life span and makes one less healthy, taking its toll in many ways. Take high blood pressure, for example. To maintain unneeded fat in your body , your demand for oxygen goes up; but in order to increase your supply of oxygen, the amount of blood circulating in your body must be increased—and to do this, your heart must pump more. This is how obesity leads to high blood pressure.
Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem. Obesity is a health hazard. The more weight that you carry, then the more this works against a healthy life. For example, if you are more than 30% body fat, you have a need for 2.5 times more antioxidants than if your body fat were under 20% of your total weight. When you are carrying so much more “oxidative tissue”, then you need more antioxidants than normal. Someone who is 30% overweight is twice as likely to die prematurely as is an average weight person. This is because obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:
- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cancer
- Gall bladder disease and gallstones
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout
- Breathing problems such as sleep apnea and asthma
Avoiding obesity has never been an anti-aging secret. But still obesity has become an increasing problem in our country.
2. OXIDATIVE STRESS
Oxidative stress can come on in a number of ways. It began at birth when you took your first breath and began making energy from the food you ate, thereby producing free radicals. You can be forced into oxidative stress by emotions, by external stimuli (such as, chemicals in the environment, low oxygen levels, pollution, chlorinated drinking water, smoke, car exhaust, sunlight, UV rays), and even poor diet. With each occurrence, you make more free radicals. Oxidative stress occurs when your body’s supply of antioxidants is insufficient to handle and neutralize free radicals of different types. The result can be massive cell damage that will result in cellular mutations, tissue breakdown, and immune compromises—unless you are able to counteract this by increasing your dietary intake of antioxidants, especially by supplementing with resveratrol.
3. INADEQUATE PHYSICAL EXERCISE
If you exercise, you have less risk of encountering all of the degenerative diseases. If you over-exercise, you are forcing yourself into oxidative stress. So you need exercise in moderation. How much exercise is that? Some suggestions are (a) all healthy adults aged 18-65 years: Moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes on five days/week, or (b) vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes on three days/week, or (c) walking briskly for 30 minutes twice during the week then jogging for 20 minutes two days/week. Generally, you need enough exercise to keep your muscles in tone, your circulation moving and your lymphatics draining properly.
4. THE ROLE OF GENETICS
Since there are four different aspects in Nature’s role—the role of genetics–in this fourth factor that is directly related to how long you are going to live, this discussion will be continued to a future article (See article “Anti-Aging Secrets and Your Longer Healthier Life”).

“Giving Value” is a term that gets passed around and around in internet marketing. Many people are sure they know what this means, but ask them to put their meaning to words, and you get an assortment of responses that could leave you still guessing.
Do you think the term “giving value” has anything to do with giving a freebie, a product discount, or your best advice on a product you’re selling? How much is any of this really going to endear you to the “giver”? Will it bring out the best in the other person? Very doubtful!
People, however, do tend to support someone who provides them with real value—be this in business, friendship, or relationships.
Giving real value happens when you take your time to share stories and tips that could benefit the receiver, when you understand someone’s need for a particular solution to a problem and you supply the solution, when you bring energy, ideas, and resources to the scene You do all this without the expectation of any gain yourself, of receiving anything in return. You make sure that the unique solution you offer fits their needs; and you follow up if that is appropriate.
This will surely bring out the best in the other person, for often they will want to give something back, feeling that a kindness needs to be rewarded.
This giving of value is your path to gaining trust and friendship and, sometimes, the things they will do in return—but not anticipated. This also is your path to feeling the energy that can be experienced in the process and to developing the feeling of being interconnected to the world around you. Something of value will come back to you at some point.

Anti-aging secrets have been unfolding over the last 70 years. That is how long ago that the scientific community concluded that there is a connection between a calorie-restricted diet and living longer. If you stay thinner, you will live longer. A group heeding this knowledge is the Calorie Restricted Society whose members eat only one meal per day. You can meet some of its members on the 60 Minutes segment on “Wine Rx”.
The major push in understanding health and disease came when the first human genome project was initiated in 1990—only 20 years ago–by the US Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. This project proposed to identify the chromosomal location of every human gene, to determine each gene’s precise chemical structure in order to show its function in health and disease, and to determine the precise sequence of DNA and RNA units. With foresight its focus also included several non-human organisms as well as the ethical, legal and social implications arising from the information that these studies produced.
This project—which was to run for 15 years—was stopped after 10 years with 90% of its objectives met, waiting for technology to catch up. As the first sequence of the human genome arrived in 2000, the use of this information had already begun. Its cost was 4 billion dollars, and this study remains one of the largest single investigational projects in modern science. Because of the rapid advance in genome science and its projected future development, observers have predicted that biology will be the foremost science in the 21st century.
The technology is fast catching up. The goal is a full genome scan in less than 30 minutes for $1000 by 2011, if not before; and there are several rival research groups racing to arrive there first. It is not surprising that the market for full genome sequencing could be worth billions.
You will probably first connect the benefits of this research to you in the field of molecular medicine. There will be improved diagnoses of diseases and early detection of genetic predispositions to diseases. Already detailed genome maps have aided researchers seeking genes associated with dozens of genetic conditions, including inherited colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and familial breast cancer. But the field of medicine is only the beginning of the arenas to be affected. Other current and potential applications are vast and may include: (1) Energy and environmental applications, (2) Risk assessment for toxic exposures, (3) Bioarchaeology, (4) Forensic identifications, and (5) Agriculture. Mentioned here–but a subject of future articles–is the concern about the dangers to you from the food you eat when genetic engineering applies this science.
Anti-aging secrets were expanded upon in the field of biology as the knowledge of antioxidants by chemists was applied. Most antioxidants, including Vitamin C and Vitamin E, were discovered by the damage that occurred when they were lacking. But now that antioxidants are closely tied to your health and longevity, you will find the amount of scientific literature extolling their benefits to be quite overwhelming. The past ten years have seen a health craze in the consumption of juices of exotic fruits from around the world. Health-conscious people are eager to get their quota of antioxidants. Between 2002 and 2006 there was a 300% increase in new products making antioxidant claims. At this time there are about 80,000 known antioxidants—most of these have not been named but are grouped by classes. The antioxidant “resveratrol” is proving to have extra ordinary benefits—more anti-aging secrets to be revealed. So several antioxidants, their sources, and how they work will be explored in future articles to provide further understanding of their use.
