They are: Indoor Air Quality, Medical Monitoring, Home Security, Electrical Quality, Pure Healthy Water, Healthy Food, Reversal of Aging, Battling Mites and Mold, Eco Friendly Cleaning Products, and Sterile Surfaces. WHY????? Headlines and statements from newspapers, journals, and magazines: Subject – Indoor Air Are You at Risk from SICK Building Syndrome (polluted indoor air created by energy saving construction)? Mighty dust mite can make us miserable – Disgusting Fact; a six year old pillow can get from 10% to 25% of its weight from dust mites, dead mites and mite excrement! Ecology group’s study links baby deaths to indoor air pollution. EPA states 50% of ALL illnesses can be traced to Indoor Air Pollution. Energy-saving measures may be the cause of indoor air pollution. Lost productivity linked to indoor air pollution costs businesses an estimated $60 billion a year. The problem of contaminated indoor air is being recognized widely by top officials as a growing threat to Americans who spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors. EPA has labeled indoor air pollution the nation’s biggest environmental health problem. Headaches, fatigue, even cancer can be caused by breathing trapped bad indoor air. Subject - Food The Problem is in the Food – Over last 50 years fruits and vegetables have lost over 50% of nutrients! How to solve America’s Food Problem – Eat organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible and take a quality multi nutrient natural whole food supplement. How Our Way of Eating is Killing Us – Cultural change in eating habits mean greater use of prepared foods and eating out. Dr. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine discovers cancer cannot live in alkaline environment. The standard American diet creates an acid environment in our bodies. Water alkaline lonizers are highly popular in Japan for the past 40 years. Japan is heralded as having the healthiest population of any developed country. Water alkaline ionizers becoming more popular in North America. Rev. 01/01/2010 Subject – Drinking Water Is Your Drinking Water Safe? Study warns of toxic elements entering state water unchecked. Leaders grapple with drinking water threats. Chemicals to cleanse water can also cause problems. Are we drinking enough healthy water? The average adult loses more than 10 cups of water every day, simply by breathing, perspiring, and eliminating waste. Trouble on Tap – America’s tap water faces an increasingly perilous future. Residues of birth control pills, antidepressants, painkillers, antibiotics, antiseptics, shampoos, and other compounds have found their way into our waterways. EPA says problem is almost everywhere. British press says this is a case of mass medication of the unsuspecting public. Bottled Water not better than Tap Water. Stop buying bottled water. At $1.50 per 20 ounce bottle, a family of four that goes through 20 bottles a week could save about $1,560 annually. This all means Opportunity in the Health, Wellness, and Green Technology Industries. Robert Kiyosaki (author Rich Dad Poor Dad), Paul Zane Pilzer (Economic Advisor to two (2) Presidents), and Dr. Charles King (Professor of Marketing, University of Illinois) all say for the average person to build wealth today, he or she needs to have a Home-Based Network Marketing Business that is associated with the Wellness, Health, and Green Technology Industries. Warren Buffet now owns 3 network marketing companies; Donald Trump started a network marketing company; Ray Lucia, world renowned financial advisor, says that average people are going to make fortunes with a home based network marketing business; and over 20 major corporations now have network marketing divisions. 78 million Baby Boomers plus 80 million Echo Boomers equals 158,000,000 prospects for health, wellness and green technology products in the U.S. alone.

There are 38 “Best in Class” health, wellness, and green technology Vollara products. Rev. 01/01/2010 It’s Not What You Think. Vollara is really about Internal Consumption and building a family tree! What thy heck is Internal Consumption? Think of it like this; Let’s say the Kroger grocery store company gave you the opportunity to pay an annual fee of $25 to become a member of the Kroger Wholesale Buying Club. With that membership you get a membership # Plus you also get three (3) privileges: 1. Buy wholesale - You can buy all your groceries at wholesale instead of paying the retail price. All the members simply buy the groceries that they consume themselves. When they need more, then they go back and buy more groceries. This is Internal Consumption – the members buy the products for their personal use. 2. Buy wholesale and sell at retail - Since you are buying at wholesale, you now have the privilege to go out and sell to non-members at retail and make a profit. Very few people will do this because most people don’t like selling. Those that do like selling can enjoy this aspect of their Membership and make some extra money. In the short run this gets some money in your pocket immediately, but the downside is you have to keep selling forever if you want to continue making any money. 3. Get other people to join the Kroger Wholesale Club and get paid a 5% bonus on all the purchases of every member that can trace their membership back to you - Think of it as a Family Tree. It gets bigger and bigger as the members you get to join tell their friends and they tell their friends and the tree gets bigger and bigger and you earn 5% on all the purchases of the WHOLE TREE. To qualify for the bonus you only have to purchase $150 of groceries yourself every month. You aren’t selling to your friends and family, you are just delivering the information and they can make up their own mind if they want to join. You can be on the beach enjoying a family vacation and every day you earn money because somewhere in your group someone is buying groceries. One of the first things you do as a member before you start giving out information about this awesome opportunity is purchase a sampling of Kroger’s products so you are personally sold on what you are sharing. Kroger doesn’t have a great deal like this but Vollara does. Vollara offers you the same basic concept with their health, wellness, and green technology products as described above using Kroger as an example except Vollara pays out up to 52% from day 1. Vollara is at the forefront of the Health, Wellness, and Green Technology industry. There is a huge paradigm shift going on in America in these industries. This is very similar to the paradigm shift that started in the 1920’s that opened the door for thousands of people just like you and me to become millionaires by being one of the first to get a McDonald’s franchise in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Vollara is the McDonald’s opportunity of 2010. Rev. 01/01/2010 Read Our Mail (These are a few of the more than 10,000 testimonies about our products) FreshAir Surround To whom it may concern, My name is Jennifer Franklin and I have been a teacher at Covenant Classical School for four years. I personally suffer from allergic rhinitis, and other allergies and sicknesses throughout the year. Our school recently purchased a FreshAir Surround, and I was fairly skeptical of its ability to truly sterilize the air and objects in the room. It was quickly proven to me that these machines do as they are promised to do. For about a week I came and went from work not really thinking about the new air purifier in my classroom, until I noticed that many of the children who had perpetual runny noses had cleared up. I then realized that my own stuffiness had disappeared. I went home so happy that my sinus pressure and runny nose had gone away. I could finally breathe! I went to bed that night and by the next morning my allergies had returned. I came in to work feeling miserable, but after an hour or so had passed my symptoms were magically gone again. I know that the FreshAir Surround is the reason I can breathe effortlessly at work. I am now considering buying one for my home. I believe that FreshAir is a great investment for anyone. Not to mention in our specific situation, we have much happier parents due to the fact that their children are not constantly sick anymore. These purifiers are worth every penny spent! Sincerely, Jennifer Franklin _______________________ To whom it may concern: I recently placed an FreshAir Surround air purifier in my 5th grade classroom. During the H1N1 outbreak at our school, my classroom had the lowest amount of sickness in our school. There was a 2-3 week period where classes were missing anywhere from 4-18 students. The most students I had absent during that time period was 1-3. There were a few days where my classroom was the only one in the whole school that had no one absent. The combination of constant hand washing, sanitizing of germ-filled surfaces, and the cleaning of the air from the air purifier caused my class to be least effected by the H1N1 and a few other contagious viruses that have spread throughout our school this year. I’m happy with my air purifier placement in my classroom. Sincerely, Rebecca Schpero LaundryPure Papaw, just wanted to give you my thoughts on LaundryPure so far. I REALLY love it. No doubt: 1. Clothes are MUCH softer – particularly notice this in the boy’s jeans. 2. Towels are fluffier – have difficulty fitting all the towels in cabinet where they formerly fit just fine. 3. Definitely saving on detergent!! I’ll calculate savings this month for you. It is exciting to know that I will never have to buy laundry detergent or fabric softener ever again. 4. I DO have to pre-treat stains, (Blaire’s bibs, boy’s football pants, etc.). BUT I just spray on a pre-treater. Haven’t needed to “scrub” items. For example, I just sprayed mud/dirt stains, let set for 10 minutes and threw football pants in. They came out looking great. Last game, before LaundryPure, IT TOOK ME 3 TRIES, spraying, scrubbing and using hot water with detergent and a bit of bleach to get the same results. 5. With white towels, I did include a little bleach (much, much less than normal!!), probably out of habit more than anything. I am happy with the brightness, cleanliness and fluffiness of towels. 6. Clothes seem less wrinkled due to softness and jeans are definitely less wrinkled. I AM THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS!! I am washing all sheets in the house now so I will be able to give an opinion about different type of sheets and thread counts. THANK YOU SO MUCH for our LaundryPure!! I’m loving it. Love, Bethany ____________________ Bill, HOME RUN!!!!! This is the best thing. Got my new LaundryPure in yesterday...couldn't wait for my husband to come home and mount it...It only took a few minutes…Had an old shirt that I used to love to wear..But it had a stain on it that I could not get out , so I only wore it around the house...Last night while I was washing I decided to pre spray the stain on the shirt (I always pre sprayed the stain before, but it never worked) and dropped it in the washer...STAIN GONE...WOW..I am so impressed ...Once again...HOME RUN...Thanks again...VOLLARA....Amy Re:Fuel (Essentials for Life) Hey guys, We have to let you know just what Vollara supplementation has done for us! My husband has suffered with chronic back pain for seven and a half long years. He has had 4 major surgeries, the last one being another fusion…. Since the surgery, he regressed, wearing a brace, using a cane, and enduring pain that was as bad, if not worse than before the surgery. The neurosurgeon talked about using a morphine pump or possibly more surgery. Rob started taking Re:Fuel (Essentials for Life)and Re:Flex (InfiAid) on July 7, 2005, according to the directions on the bottle. At the July Success Institute, someone mentioned that for chronic pain more Re:Flex (InfiAid) should be taken, that it wouldn’t hurt him, it was all natural, so my husband increased the amount. He started taking 4 capsules 3 times a day. To our amazement he has steadily shown improvement! As of July 25, 2005, he no longer wears the brace or walks with the cane and the constant nerve pain in his leg is gone! I should mention that Rob was taking 8-10 Vicodin, and 8-10 Robaxin a day, and after seven and a half years of medication, since August 30, 2005, he has been drug free!! Rob’s neurosurgeon was very impressed with his dramatic improvement. So impressed, that after talking with Dr. Allen, he ordered the product for his wife, who is also a back surgery patient, that has now found pain relief using Re:Flex! We have prayed for relief for him for seven and a half years, and with each surgery our hope would diminish. We lost our hope and could not dream, but now we are able to dream again (PRAISE GOD!!!) We believe that God truly sent Vollara to us, for more than this awesome financial opportunity, but also an opportunity to live again! Sincerely, Rob and Cindy Irwin _________________________ To whom it may concern, I received a bottle of Re:Fuel (Essentials for Life) May 29, 2009 and I started taking 2 caplets with each meal like it said on the directions right a way. I had had Parkinson’s disease for several years, like Michael J. Fox. I was a master baker of pastries and had my own bakery. My health became bad so I sold the business and worked in the bakery for HEB Grocers Store several years. I sold many of my recipes to the HEB Grocery Stores. I am on permanent disability now. I have uncontrollable shaking at times. I have a brand new wheel chair in my garage that I refuse to use because I do not want to become dependent on it. I love to work in the yard, in fact I earn money by working on the neighbors’ yards and I wanted to help Bob Gebing with his yard work so that is how I became interested in what supplements his wife Donna Gebing has taken many years. She gave me Essentials for Life (Re:Fuel), the InfiAid (Re:Flex)and some Healthy Bones and Teeth (Re:Build). I noticed in about two days that I had more energy and I had been working only for 2 or 3 hours a day on my neighbor’s yards. After I started using the Essentials for Life (Re:Fuel) I could work 5 or 6 hours at a time. Also I had terrible numbness in my hands and feet at night and I wore socks to keep my feet warm. After using the Essentials for Life (Re:Fuel) for a few days the numbness in my hands and feet was gone. I quit wearing socks to bed at night. I have much better clarity in thinking. I truly believe the Essentials for Life have given me so much better quality of life. I will start taking the InfiAid (Re:Flex) and the Healthy Bones and Teeth (Re:Build) now that I know the Essentials for Life (Re:Fuel) has helped me so much. Johannes Hoendervanger ___________________________ Hello, Do you know the side effects of Nexium or any prescriptions given for severe acid reflex? They are stomach pain, headaches, tired, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, shortness of breath, dry mouth, gas and much more. The first four were everyday for me and the others off and on until I discovered the wonders of Essentials for Life (Re:Fuel). The only thing I am going to miss about Nexium is to see which lawyer on TV will be advertising to represent the folks that are using or have used this Rx. I have always had a “funny” stomach, could not tolerate spicy foods, was lactose intolerant, and could not take vitamins no matter the cost, not even Rx’s or prenatal ones. Unexpected, severe stomach pain could ruin a well planned family outing at anytime. I was gun shy about nonrefundable deposits, because of the surprise attacks that ruled my life. I was introduced to Re:Fuel with doubts that it could make a difference, but realizing that everyone needs a multi vitamin to supplement the lack of in our over processed foods, I thought I would give it a shot. Not only did I notice a difference in my energy level, but I also found that it seemed to help me with my stomach problems. No one likes being dependent on Rx’s so I experimented by stopping my Nexium. After two weeks I was sold, no more Nexium, for over four years now WOW. Why WOW: for three years I had to undergo a procedure to dilate my esophagus, it was scary because of the internal bleeding risks involved and the fact that once maybe twice was the limit on this procedure and I had already had it done three times with no other options. Public choking is embarrassing to experience, besides life threatening. So there is my WOW and one of the many reasons why I will never be without Re:Fuel. I tell everyone that takes an antacid, it is the best daily whole food supplement in the world! If it is good enough for the New York Yankees and several other pro teams, it is good enough for me; they buy theirs just like I do. I have no interest in selling, but I will share my success stories with healthy products and hope that it helps others to make an informed decision regarding their health. After telling people about this product I found that I was in business. Helping others to avoid the discomfort and embarrassment I have experienced is my goal and when others ordered their product it paid for mine. No selling, just sharing and giving people the opportunity for an improved quality of life and if they tell others about their results they can be in business too! Just ask me how. Linda Armstrong Re:Plenish High Blood Pressure; High Cholesterol; Cancer August 05, 2010 Mary Ann - I can only tell you my experience with Vollara products, and so far the results have been excellent. I began drinking their grape juice almost a year ago (I think), and I am now off blood pressure medication, and off cholesterol lowering drugs. I was telling my Doctor about it when she commented about my blood pressure being so much lower, and long story short, she has it sent to her brother in Georgia who has cancer. His blood studies are much improved since he began drinking it, and his Doctor said he is like a different patient. I truly believe all of their products are top of the line...I became a distributor so I could get their products cheaper, and I get paid by them at the same time. It all works itself out. Talk more in depth to Dale, and think about becoming a distributor. I don't see how you can lose. Love, Sandy _______________________ July 4, 2009 THANKS TO RE:PLENISH I AM SLEEPING! God is using this natural food group in this bottle to heal my body, I Just can’t say enough about it. I know that one day I will have the opportunity to tell my story in person to many people and WOW do I have a story to tell. I went to a fund raiser for our little school this evening. I played volley ball for the first time in over 20 years because I could. I thank My God and Re:Plenish and the people who put this all together! Rick L. Leukemia All: I just got off the phone with my Mom. As you know last year around November she was diagnosed with leukemia. When they went to do more blood work and testing to determine her treatment path - they halted it because her platelet count had gone UP 7000 points. That was mid-December. The doctors told her they would have to do blood work every month to determine what was happening. She went today and her platelet count was up 19000 points! She is almost to the normal level. The only thing she has been doing differently is drinking the Re:Plenish juice. I am so thankful to God and to Amy's company and Amy and to my mom for trying the product when first diagnosed. The doctor said she does not have to come back for 6 months!!! I am in tears writing this - so, I better go get a tissue before someone walks in my office! A very grateful servant, Lorri Black, Realtor Knee Problems I look forward to sharing the Re:Plenish information with everyone! I love Re:Plenish! I told Becky that due to knee problems (the doctor has mentioned knee replacements), I have slept with a heating pad almost every night for the last ten years. I have been taking Re:Plenish for about 2 1/2 - 3 months (I was not faithful at first) and I just realized 2 weeks ago that I have not used the heating pads for my horrible knee pain in 2 months. That is amazing for me! Donna Birmingham, AL SteadyPower October 12, 2010 Here is my testimony on installing our SteadyPower in our home. We had an exciting day last Friday when our SteadyPower was finally installed. One of my distributors is an electrician and has sold and installed 7 or 8 SteadyPower with great success and happy customers. My husband and I watched him install it and it was very simple. It installs right beside the breaker box. He had us turn on everything in the house and recorded the present amp usage and then connected the SteadyPower. One side on breaker box was 65 amps and went down to 58 amps (11% decrease) and the other side was 73 amps and went down to 62 amps (16% decrease). WOW! I understand from our installer that he has found that people here in CA with a pool, air conditioning and lots of electronics are the ones that have the biggest savings on their electric bill. We don't live an area with many storms and power-outages so most likely won't have to use the $25,000, 10-year warranty Vollara gives. We are happy just to know that our electronics will now run smoother and cooler since the electricity is harmonized in our entire house and I'm sure we will realize some savings on our electric bill. Debbie & Jim Atkinson, Costa Mesa, CA _________________________ April 28, 2010 Dear Mr. Howse, My name is Glen Williams and I have been an Electrical/HVAC contractor for over 34 years. Recently I was contracted by the city of Fultondale Gas Board concerning problems with power servicing approximately 10 CPU units that are used for billing their 8000 customers. The Office Manager had called the computer repair company numerous times because many of the CPU's were shutting down. Every time the technician from the computer repair company would diagnose the problem as a low voltage situation that would shut every CPU down for safety. I was called to check out the problem. Using a digital meter I quickly saw the low voltage situation that would occur several times throughout the day. That is when I contacted you about The Clean Power System (Steady Power) that your company sells. I really like the way the system operates to maintain a constant voltage and cycles situation in addition to the surge protection we have as well. It has been one year and 4 months since I installed The Clean Power System (SteadyPower) and I have not had one service call from Fultondale Gas Board about a CPU shutting down. The Clean Power System (SteadyPower) solved all the problems we had in addition to all the motors and light transformers operating in their building powered out of the same panel the Clean Power System (SteadyPower) was installed on. I would like to talk to you about another system for a 100 amp panel located in the City of Fultondale computer mainframe and telephone dialing system room for the City Hall. Thanks so much for your help with solving our electrical problems by supplying the Clean Power System (Steady Power). Sincerely, Glen A. Williams, Al.

My life in 2010 I purchased my LivingWater in April of 2010. Prior to LivingWater I drank about a gallon or more of tap and bottled water everyday for the last 25 years. I started drinking 8.5 LivingWater, about 160 oz. per day in April, 2010. I stared telling a difference within 3 days (that’s what blew my mind – thinking this was probably snake oil). After 10 days I stopped taking Lortab/oxycodone. Moved to 9.0 LivingWater, then moved to 9.5 LivingWater within 2 weeks. I now drink 176 oz. per day which is about 90% of my weight (194 lbs) in ounces of LivingWater. Here are the results: 1. I don’t take Lortab/oxycodone anymore. 2. No more physical therapy. 3. No more Spinal taps. 4. Walk, run, sleep and live without pain. 5. Get up once a night to go to the bathroom versus 7 or 8 times before LivingWater. 6. Lost 12 pounds by drinking 176 oz. of LivingWater daily. 7. I can now run up a flight of stairs. 8. Mow my own yard. 9. Use my left hand and arm without using my right arm to help move it. 10. Eat hot peppers again. I missed them so bad. 11. I don’t have dry eyes anymore, no more liquid tears. 12. Have a steady heartbeat, no more arrhythmia. 13. I can now hold my wife and granddaughter (priceless). 14. Canceled left shoulder replacement. 15. My brother saw me walking with a cane in Dec. 2009. Then he saw me again in May 2010, thinking I would be in a wheelchair, and was blown away to see me running and playing with my 3 year old granddaughter. 16. My physical therapist is now drinking LivingWater. Mike Wiygul, Birmingham, AL ___________________________ J.K. I have a testimony for the Living Water Essentials, concerning my dog (Captain). I got really excited when I listened to the water call last week and there were several testimonies about peoples' pets and the Living Water, similar to what I have also experienced. I am definitely a believer in this alkaline water unit. My testimony is below. Sorry if it is long, but I felt you needed to know all of it. Our pets are like our children and I know with Captain being as old as he is, eventually his time is going to run out, but if I can do something to keep him around a little bit longer, then it is definitely worth it. If it works this well for our pets, in a matter of weeks, just think what it could do for us humans, if we continue to be persistent. Maybe my testimony will help someone else that is experiencing problems with their older pets. Thanks for the opportunity to tell you about it. The vet told me that hot spots occur a lot in old pets. We came back from a week long trip and our 17 year old, Great Perinese (Captain), seemed very depressed. We had someone staying at the house taking care of the pets, but Captain went downhill within a couple of days of our returning home. Captain is so large, he was having a horrible time getting up from lying down or sitting position and he could not even walk across our kitchen floor, because it was slick and his back legs could not hold him. He would fall down and then could not get up until someone helped pick up his hind legs and help him walk out to the carpeted area. I even had to leave the back door open to our sun room, because he could not get through the dog door, due to his instability. He also had developed a huge hot spot on his belly and leg that he had been messing with so much, he had licked his leg to the bone and the one on his belly had been licked and bit at so much, he created a hole in it about the size of a dime. We were spraying a bidder spray and anti itch spray on the wounds and putting Cortizone cream all over it, but he would not leave them alone and they were all becoming infected and nasty looking. The vet said we were doing everything right, but nothing was working, he continually bit at them and licked them. I even bought one of those shields that go around their head and he was so disoriented by it, he walked into walls and furniture and seemed to be very humiliated by wearing it. About 3 weeks ago Captain became very lethargic and would not eat or drink anything. I tried to feed him some broth and put food in front of him and he just lay there and would not touch it. I was so upset and we were sure he was not going to make it through the night. I set up a cot right next to him and I slept outside with him all night because I was afraid with him being outside, the coyotes would come into the yard and get him. I had just received my Living Water Essentials, so in a desperate attempt, I filled his water bowl with 8.5 alkaline water and set it right in front of his face and then I took a cloth and soaked it in acidic water and laid it on his hot spots, hoping to alleviate some of his discomfort. The next morning, I woke up to him licking me in the face. The alkaline water in his dish was completely empty. I immediately started filling the pets’ water dishes with alkaline water, not knowing for sure if it was the water that had helped and I continued to soak Captain's hot spots with the acidic water. After just two weeks of drinking the alkaline water, Captain is like a new dog and so is our other dog (Thor, who is 12 years old) and our two cats, who are about 11 & 15 years old. The cats have both become very active and playful (like kittens) and they look very healthy. Captain now goes outside, through the dog door, and runs around without any problems. He can easily get up from lying down or sitting and he is able to walk through the kitchen, and even eat his supper in the kitchen, without falling down. As for the hot spots, they are starting to heal up nicely and he does not bother them. I am continuing to soak them nightly with the acidic water. We have not done anything different, other than changing their water and soaking his hot spots with acidic water. I was going to change their food, but it does not look like that needs to happen now. I LOVE THIS WATER!! P.S. It has also helped my mom with lowering her blood pressure and her diabetes counts have dropped to where she is taking half the medication she was taking. She is a believer in our products and drinks the alkaline water faithfully, drinks the juice twice a day and takes our nutritional supplements regularly. Her doctor is skeptical about our products, but we will make a believer out of him yet. Allison Marshall Type 2 diabetes My husband has a great testimony that is based on drinking 8.5 - 9.5 pH water for one month. He is a Type 2 diabetic (since 1985), 61 years old, and takes 6 injections a day. In his words, "I've taken over 30 units of Lantus for a year, and now I'm down to 25 units after 3 weeks of drinking LinvingWater. Since Feb 2007 I've also taken 4 injections of Novalog 4 times a day (before meals and at bedtime). Now I only take 3 injections and roughly about 1/2 the number of units per injection. I started leaving off the bedtime injection and my morning sugars have been in the normal range. I definitely went through adjustments as I went from 8.5 pH to 9.0 pH to 9.5 pH ... and they were all good adjustments." He gets blood work done every 6 months. From his last blood work until 1/20/10 his A1-C (normal is 4.0 - 6.0) went from 7.2 to 6.8. Total cholesterol went from 177 to 147. BUN was 21 (normal is 7-22), and it went to 14. I've also been drinking LivingWater for one month and the main thing I notice is that my dry, hard, tearing cuticles are now hydrated and very nice. They are 100% different. Also my digestion and overall "inside feeling" is much better. We both now drink the 9.5 pH daily and use it with our cooking as well. Debbie Johnson Atkinson Degenerative Disk Disease 7-minute clip from a Houston TV channel. Dr. James Lee talks about degenerative disk disease and the use of alkaline water.

Statement is on page 34, last paragraph: "In addition, these do-it-all veggies possess a characteristic that many people don't know to look for but that's important for good health: They're alkalizing. In contrast, most foods in the standard American diet - especially meats, sugar and white flour - are acid-forming. Without getting into the nitty-gritty science of it, I'd like to point out that most disease states within the body occur in an acidic environment. Foods that create alkalinity are healthier." ___________________________ Allergies and Immune System My grandson Benjamin Anderson is 10 years old. He’s been sick since he was in kindergarten. He’s allergic to everything on the planet including himself. He was taking several allergy medicines, steroids, twice the recommended dosage of Zyrtec and Zantac for the side effects of his others medications. Besides his allergies his immune system was completely shot. He would get everything that he was exposed to at school and would be on antibiotics for several months at a time to try and get over stuff. He had to go to an immunologist to try and build up his immune system. He missed 70 days or more of school every year. Finally his mom and dad had to take him out of school and home school him because the school wouldn’t work with him anymore. He had frequent outbreaks of hives. He had frequent bad headaches. He made frequent visits to the emergency room. He just laid around and had no energy. His mom and dad have spent thousands of dollars on medical bills. After hearing about Re:Plenish and Vollara food supplements, this past Sunday I took him a bottle of Re:Plenish and some of the food supplements. Now remember he’s been sick for 5 years. In just a few short weeks he’s off all of his medications. He’s not having any outbreaks of hives. He’s not having any headaches. He’s not going to the emergency room. He’s not sick any more at all. He’s full of life like a 10 year old should be. He was over Sunday – playing baseball, hitting the ball and running the bases. My wife was complimenting him on how good he was doing and he said, “I didn’t know I could do that, grandma.” He’s a completely different kid and we’re so thankful to God for these products. Re:Plenish and the food supplements have changed his life completely and is going to change millions of lives in the days, months and years to come. Eternally grateful, Mark & Sandy Ohmit *Vollara nor anybody sharing their health testimony are claiming everyone will get these results. It is basic scientific knowledge that if you provide your body with the nutrition it needs a lot of health issues subside. Why LivingWater? Because your health depends on it! Fill in the blank; We are supposed to drink _____ glasses of water every day. Question: When was the last time you drank that amount of water 3 days in a row? Question: What do you think is the result of not drinking that much water every day? Question: Do you consider tea, cokes, coffee, energy drinks, etc. substitutes for water? Does your lifestyle tell me that you think they are substitutes regardless of how you answered? The question is not if we need to hydrate our bodies each day – it is how and what with? Now that we have established that we all need to drink several glasses of water per day, then the question is; does it make any difference what type of water we drink. YES it does and what type water and how much you drink will basically determine your health. Three absolute facts: “Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help neutralize over-acidity and over time will help restore your buffering ability. Like vitamins C, E and beta carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons.” Susan Lark, MD 1. A vast majority of Americans are in a state of dehydration, causing disease and sickness all the way from the common cold to cancer. Dehydration is a sign that your cells are not getting the water they need. Water transports nutrition to the cells, therefore for your health’s sake it is imperative that you are well hydrated. 2. Free Radicals enter our bodies each and every day through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the beverages we drink and the stress in our lives. Free Radicals are oxygen molecules tearing up (rusting) our body, THEREFORE it is important that we provide our body with anti-oxidants daily to destroy the cancer causing, disease and sickness causing Free Radicals. 3. Too much acidity in the body is like having too little oil in the car. It just grinds to a halt one lazy Sunday afternoon. Excess acid causes most chronic diseases. Dr. Theodore Baroody Acidosis is a sign you are drinking acid causing water (beverages), breathing polluted air, and eating acidic foods. How does that affect you? “Water and aging are directly related and it has been shown that the water content of the body decreases with age, producing a visible wrinkling and withering effect. Keep in mind that the outward signs of aging are just an indicator of what is also happening on the inside of the body.” Dr. Mu Shik Jhon, Oxidation = rusting = aging and disease and is caused by Free Radicals, acidosis, and dehydration. Metals rust from the outside in and people rust from the inside out. Three major events: 1. Dr. Otto Warburg (1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his studies about tissue environments that allow or prohibit the growth of cancers). Basically he discovered that cancer thrives when our bodies are acidic and cannot survive when our bodies are alkaline. You want your body to be in an Alkaline state, but most likely it is in an acidic state. 2. Commercial alkaline ionic water units for hospitals were introduced in Japan in the fifties. A research institute was formed in 1960 for the purpose of studying ionized water. 1966 brought confirmation of the alkaline ionic water process for health improvement and medical use by the Japanese Health and Rehabilitation Ministry. Alkaline ionic water units help your body maintain an alkaline state. A majority of the Japanese people drink alkaline ionic water and that is one of the primary reasons they live the longest and are the healthiest of all the developed countries in the world. 3. Dr. Peter Agre, an American medical doctor, professor, and molecular biologist who was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of aquaporins. Aquaporins are water-channel proteins that move water molecules through the cell membrane. Until 2003 we knew alkaline ionized water worked but we didn’t understand exactly why it worked. Dr. Peter Agre discovered the how and why when he discovered Aquaporins – commonly called the gate keeper of the cells. LivingWater has a negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential) as opposed to other beverages (including tap and bottled water) which has a positive ORP. Anything that is acidic and has a positive ORP is not good for you and here is why as we look at a cell and see how it is nourished and hydrated: Negative charged water (-) transports nourishment to the cell and hydrates the cell. Positive charged water (+) is blocked by the gatekeeper (aquaporin) from entering the cell. The Standard American Diet (SAD) including the beverages we drink is primarily acidic and has a positive charge. As a result our cells are malnourished and dehydrated. That’s one of the major reasons cancer, illness, sickness, diabetes, etc. are running rampant in American. LivingWater is Alkaline Ionized Restructured water that has a negative charge delivering nourishment to the cells and hydrating the cell. The result is better health and wellness. One final note before we close out; our bodies will do everything it has to do to make sure our blood pH stays at 7.365. If we don’t provide our bodies with healthy water, proper nutrition, and pure air, then our bodies will take what it needs from the organs and bones of our body to maintain a blood pH of 7.365. If it has to do that, then we are opening ourselves up to sickness, illness and disease. You control what goes in your body! “It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of LivingWater provides you with: 1. Alkaline water to help your body eliminate acidosis the body (metabolic acidosis). We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern dietary habits and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water, you combat metabolic acidosis and improve absorption of nutrients.” Dr. Ray Kurzweil, National Inventors Hall of Fame 2. An abundance of anti-oxidants to destroy the Free Radicals in your body 3. Ionized water that is easily absorbed by the body thus is more deeply hydrating to the cells Compared to tap water, LivingWater has no unpleasant odor, no chlorine taste, tastes and feels lighter, smoother (silkier), and has a pleasant and refreshing clean taste. Compared to tap and bottled water, LivingWater is alkaline, is an antioxidant, and is environmentally friendly. The LivingWater System will pay for itself in 12 – 24 months by eliminating bottled water and improved health and wellness. Are you ready to give LivingWater a try and find out for yourself?

There is a major product distribution paradigm shift going on today and Vollara is on the front end of that shift. The internet is a primary reason for that shift. That is why we read comments by business leaders like those at the bottom of this page. You now have the opportunity to be in on the ground floor of a new company that has proven and established products. Vollara is definitely in the right place at the right time. At this time we are looking for energetic goal oriented people with whom we can work directly with in Vollara. Let us know if you are interested. Take a look at the following 2 pages and see the success that a few of our distributors have had and are having. Robert Kiyosaki, famous author of Rich Dad Poor Dad wrote, “When I first heard about network marketing, I was against it. But after opening my mind, I began to see advantages that few other business opportunities offer.” He further noted: “I am often asked if network marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations are really pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below. A true network marketing business is the exact opposite of a traditional business model. It is designed to bring you to the top not keep you at the bottom.” “If you want to build financial security, then start a home based network marketing business immediately.” Like his friends and fellow billionaires, Warren Buffet and Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki is sold on network marketing. It is a simply distribution business model that works because it’s based on people helping people. Ray Lucia, financial consultant on FOX radio and TV stated on Friday, June 18, 2010 in response to a question by a caller about making money: “If you are talking about setting up small businesses, interestingly enough, in bad economies like this; there are many businesses that are born out of problems. I think there are many opportunities in network marketing. There are people who are making fortunes today in network marketing. I would look at network marketing; it's an easy way to get started.” Donald Trump, was asked this question on Jay Leno, What would you advise the average person to do if they wanted to build wealth?” He said, “Start a home based network marketing business”. Ron R. Mueller, MBA, Ph.D. tax consultant wrote; “If you have a home-based business, tax deductions passed by Congress can legally slash your taxes by THOUSANDS annually! Qualifying for them is easy and recordkeeping is quick. The average family will save $3,000 - $6,000 in their first year. That’s cash in your pocket to spend as you see fit.” Rev. 01/01/2010 Reduce Your Annual Income Tax If for no other reason, you need to do Vollara for the tax benefits! If you Don’t have a Home-Based Business, You’re Paying waaaaay TOO MUCH TAXES!!!!! Special Tax Breaks Passed by Congress for Small & Home-Based Businesses Congress has approved major tax breaks specifically for those who have a homebased business, because home-businesses are good for the economy, and they provide a “safety net” if a taxpayer were to lose his/her primary source of income. The tax benefits to home-based businesses change frequently as new tax bills are passed and new tax deduction clarifications are issued. But when they do change, they just seem to keep getting better and better. If you do not have a home-based business you lose-out on ALL these HUGE tax deductions. Period. When the average entrepreneur understands what tax breaks are available to homebased business owners, how easy it is to qualify, and how simple the recordkeeping requirements are, the new deductions will usually slash their taxes dramatically, sometimes up to 30 to 40 percent or more. That means thousands in tax savings year after year, for as long as you actively run a business and making (or trying to make) a profit. Average tax savings for many is $3,500-$7,000 per year, or around $100 per week extra cash in your pocket! Ronald R. Mueller, MBA, Ph.D. “The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of his taxes, or altogether avoid them by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted.” United States Supreme Court; Gregory v.
