Destruction of the Rainforest Threatens the Future of Us All
Would you like to create the life of wealth and contribution youve always dreamed of? Our business opportunity gives you a way to make a positive difference in your life, your community and the world.

Today, thousands of species are threatened with extinction.

Every minute, 75 acres of Rainforest is disappearing. Its possible that in the next 18 years, 90% of the entire Rainforest will be gone.

The Rainforest is the worlds treasure house of healing botanicals, the lungs of the planet, and much more

In fact, the National Cancer Institute has identified 3,000 plants active against cancer 70% of them in the Rainforest.

A new model of sustainable economics brings a welcome solution.
In one year, one acre of the Rainforest is worth:

* Cattle. $60 per acre
* Timber.. $400 per acre
* Herbs $2400 per acre

Todays consumers are more ecologically conscious and are choosing to buy earth-friendly products. They are driving a new model of business. Recent surveys report that:

* 68 million Americans consider environmental and social issues when purchasing*
* 91% are interested in protecting the environment*
* 83% support responsible business practices*
* 59% prefer sustainably produced products*

* According to Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) 2003

Amazon Herb Company is in perfect step with this growing consumer consciousness. We partner with over 14 Amazon communities who are sustainably harvesting nutrient-rich botanicals. This cooperation creates economic resources at the village level to protect the land and the culture, and sustain a vision of hope for the future.

We have leveraged the desire for health, planetary balance and financial freedom into a new model of ecological prosperity. Join us and live the adventure.

I am on a water-only diet (which is exactly as it sounds…no food…only water…for an undecided amount of time).
For the past 2 days I have had nothing to eat, but I have been drinking loads of water…on the 2nd day I had one herbal tea (5 cals per serving)
I barely lost a pound after the 1st day and after the 2nd…nothing

Normally when I do this the pounds just keep melting off in no time, so I'm wondering if my body has adjusted to the crash dieting thereby inhibiting weight loss, or could it be something else. Today (3rd day), I started my period… could that be the reason I haven't really lost any weight yet? Should I continue with the diet??

I know it's unhealthy, but it's fast and it works and it's tolerable.

crash diets are extremely unhealthy for the body. They can actually ruin parts of your body and cause organs to shut down.

I would go to your doctor or see a nutritionist so you can decide on a healthy and affective diet.

Ok I am tired of answers that say eat healthy and exersize frequently and that solves all the problems well lets snap back into reality my dad has Diabetes and we have been eating and exersizing like crazy for 5 years now and I have not lost a single pound I am some what over weight and very angry about this I want someone who knows what they are talking about to help me not just give me the same thing over and over again I want to know the best way to lose weight like herbal supplements or something like that I really appreciate it
Ok when it comes to eating I eat properly I do not over eat and I don't smoke and I don't have Diabetes my mom is overweight though and I am thinking it might be genetics but I later found out that she just eats too much I am a big health freak and I do not revolve my world around food if possible it is the exact opposite I would forget to eat if not for my dad.

Okay first I must insist of a dumb answer…

You are not overweight, it is psychology. If you believe in your self you will lose 10 pounds a week.

Now…

My mom is diabetic. She can be considered overweight. Now since you don't want a 'diet and exercise' response, I must say she doesn't smoke.

The whole point is not just to change to healthier foods, but less food overall. If less cals are consumed, the fat will start to be burned.

Nowadays, most diet pills are a combo of herbal supplements. Are they really still addictive? Do you think they can be used effectively to lose weight? Have we just not gotten over Ephedra and the diet pills of the "olden days"? What's so bad about diet pills?

Address all the issues of weight loss - "magic pills", needing to exercise even though you may find success with a diet pill, the psychology of diet pills and dieting and how those factors contribute to the good or bad of diet pills.

I'm asking this out of curiousity of what answers it will solicit, not really for my own personal need or anything.
Hi, yeah, READ THE FREAKIN' QUESTION IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER.

Diet pills are still not the long term answer to good health and many can cause negative side effects.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Question Details: i m 25 yrs i have irregular mensturation by taking medicine (hempushpa) herbal i have regular but my problem is i m trying from 4 months to control my over weight beacause during irregulation i became over weight from 48 to 60 kg now i m trying my best but no result i m finding from 4 month i have joined gym too but weight is same and even not eating but and i have controled my diet and depend on salad,soup, fruits and cornflakes etc.pls help me how should i remove this excess fat

First of all, your details are hard to read.

How do women with PCOS loose weight?

The sad truth is that it is just like most any woman. The news that you are looking for though is this: STAY away from bad carbs. Check the glycemic index for carbohydrates. Donuts are bad carbs and have bad glycemic levels. Stay away from carbs with high glycemic levels.

The weight gain causes your PCOS to worsen. Because the PCOS has worsened, you will gain more weight.. This is a yo-yo cause and effect situation. This also hampers fertility.

Going to the gym is great. Remember that muscles have more weight than fat. Muscles weight is good for you though. Just don't become an obsessive body builder.

Take B vitamins.

I asked for weightloss success stories and one person told me herbal live worked when weight watchers didn’t and invited me to e-mail him/her for more info……. but their e-mail was herballife@________.com, So naturally I thought it may be spam.
Does anyone know if herbal life works?

I did herballife for a while once and it worked, except you had to take so many pills and powder and it all tasted so bad. I felt like a walking vitamin.I had that vitmain taste in my mouth all day. It was awful. Weight Watchers has really worked for me and it is realistic. You can eat whatever you waht so if you have a fmaily, you don’t have to cook seperate meals or sit and watch everyone eat while you sip on your powdered goo.
