The Benefits of Echinacea and Goldenseal in Natural Cold Remedies
The Benefits of Echinacea and Goldenseal in Natural Cold Remedies
By Amelia Bentrup
Have you seen goldenseal and echinacea on the shelves of your local health food store? I'm sure you've heard about the benefits of echinacea. Wondering what the benefits of goldenseal are? With cold season quickly approaching, I bet you're looking for natural cold remedies that work. You may be wondering how echinacea and goldenseal can help you recover faster from the common cold.
One of the benefits of goldenseal is that it helps you feel better without the use of over the counter medication. Colds make your nose feel icky,...it's either constantly running or totally stuffed up and uncomfortable. The beauty of goldenseal is that it is a mucous membrane "alternative"...this means that it moderates mucous membrane flow in the body. It will increase mucous flow in areas with deficient flow and decrease flow in areas with excessive flow. This provides welcome relief when your nose is driving you crazy. Goldenseal is particularly beneficial for sinus infections and other upper respiratory infections.
Other benefits of goldenseal include its anti-microbial properties...another very useful property when you are fighting illness. Berberine and hydrastine are the active anti-microbial components of goldenseal.
Goldenseal is often combined with echinacea, in fact you can even buy goldenseal-echinacea combinations. However, if you can't find echinacea and goldenseal combined; take one 300 mg capsule of echinacea and one 500-mg capsule of goldenseal three times each day. Both goldenseal and echinacea work best when started at the first sign of a cold. Do no use either herbal supplement for longer than 10 days.
Some of the many health benefits of echinacea are its anti-viral, immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. These are all properties you definitely want in an herbal supplement. Echinacea is often recommended for bronchitis, strep throat and influenza.
Scientific studies have shown some controversy over the efficacy of echinacea as a natural cold remedy. Much of the inclusiveness of those studies is likely due to the fact that the studies didn't use a consistently standard echinacea product. The quality and strength of herbal remedies vary quite a bit. A 2004 study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics and a 2006 study published in the Journal of Clinical Therapeutics showed that echinacea is in fact an effective treatment for the common cold. In fact, echinacea is even useful for treating canine upper respiratory tract infections. These studies can be found at http://www.greenmedinfo.com/search/node/echinacea.
Echinacea and goldenseal are both available in the form of teas, extracts, or encapsulated powders. Encapsulated powders are the most common form, however, make sure the powder is a powder extract and not just dried herb. Extracts concentrate the active components, making them much more effective.

SFI Affiliate Program Review by a Seven Year Affiliate
SFI Affiliate Program Review by a Seven Year Affiliate
By Donovan Baldwin
If you have spent any time on the Internet, and particularly if you have been trying to figure out how to make money online, you have run across the SFI affiliate program.
Perhaps you have taken the opportunity to investigate it further, perhaps not. However, if you have investigated a little more deeply, you have seen a lot of claims about how great it is, and maybe even a few comments about the SFI "scam."
Well, what is the truth about SFI? Let's review the program, shall we?
while people obviously want to know if they can make money with the SFI affiliate program, let's deal with the "scam" issue first. After all, if SFI is a scam, then there's no sense going any further, is there?
Since I do not know how much experience YOU have with Internet marketing, or network marketing, let me make a couple of points before I get to the question, "Is SFI a scam?"
I have been in direct (mail) marketing since 1992, in direct marketing since 1996, and in Internet marketing since 1998. I have seen all kinds of scams, and I have seen all kinds of claims for and against many of the same programs. Here's what I have observed.
While there definitely ARE quite a few rip-offs and scams out there, many people who make claims against network marketing and Internet marketing programs make the claims because they fell prey to hyped-up claims about what they could expect from joining the program. Some people join and sit back and wait for something to happen. Some take a few half-hearted swings at selling some product or signing up distributors and then give up.
Here's the common thread. ALMOST ALL of those who sign up for network marketing and/or Internet marketing programs HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING! At the same time, almost all have been signed up by someone who has raised their expectations to a fever pitch by making inflated claims about how much money they WILL MAKE, or about how fast their business will grow.
The bottom line is, the growth of any business, whether it is selling cosmetics (Avon), motor oil (Amsoil), or a broad range of goods and services (SFI) will depend on the time, effort, and talent of the business owner or operator.
The question of whether a business is or is not a scam does not depend on the number of people who have been successful with it, but whether or not it can and will deliver the goods, services, and potential profits it claims. I have been with SFI since 1992, and when I make a sale, my customer gets the product, and I get the commission. I have purchased and used many of the products, and I have been satisfied with what I have received for my payment.
Apparently my customers were satisfied as well, as they have often come back and purchased again and again. There have been dissatisfied customers, there always are in retail, and I am sure that many of them do not have a good opinion of SFI.
Looking at it this way, if SFI is a scam because some who have done business with it are dissatisfied, then so are Sears, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy.
There is the issue of misleading claims, however.
Well, once someone signs up to be distributor for ANY program, there is not much a company can do to prevent them from making inflated or misleading claims. I remember a few years ago reading a complaint about one of the most honest companies I know. Someone had actually brought a lawsuit against the company. What had happened was that one of the independent distributors had made false claims, directly against company policy, but, as a result, everyone assumed that it was the company making the claim.
There ARE a lot of people trying to rip you off out there in Internet-land, and some people who just believe that "advertising" means making the biggest, loudest, most audacious claim you can.
All I know is that if you go to one of my SFI websites and purchase something, you will get what you were promised at the price that was quoted, and I will get my commission. If that is a scam, then I am confused about the definition of the word.
Sorry that took so long, but, when it comes to SFI, and other network marketing and Internet marketing companies, that issue seems to be a big one.
Anyway, you came here for an SFI affiliate program review. So, what IS SFI? What does it do? What can YOU do with it?
SFI began about 11 years ago as "Six Figure Income". Over time, it acquired an image of being a get-rich-quick scheme due to the wild and high-flying claims made by many SFI affiliates. Also, however, although starting with only one product available for sale only in the United States, it progressed to being an international organization offering a huge range of products, and the SFI business opportunity, to over 100 countries.
In fact, founder Gery Carson's dream was to create a business opportunity available to anyone with a computer and Internet access anywhere in the world. That dream has been a reality for several years now, as thousands of SFI affiliates sell millions of dollars in product every year.
As businesses will, over time, the original Six Figure Income affiliate program became the "Secure Future International Marketing Group", retaining the SFI mark which had become known around the world.
Recently, Gery Carson launched a new and improved SFI affiliate program based on two sites in particular. TripleClicks and EyeEarn.
Of course, you are reading this to find out what you get if you choose to sign up as an SFI affiliate.
As it has been since the start of SFI, every new SFI affiliate receives not only one, but a range of free SFI websites, a free online portal leading people to several online stores for name products, free training on how to market online, and an array of free marketing materials, including banners, flyers, text ads, and presentations.
There is no cost for any of this to the SFI affiliate, but he or she is tasked with the responsibility of leading people to one of their websites. After that, the SFI infrastructure takes over. People arrive at a professionally designed, and regularly updated, website. Should they make a purchase, they are automatically assigned as a customer of the SFI affiliate whose website they purchased from. SFI will see to processing the payment, delivering the product, and even make the refund if required.
The affiliate receives a commission for the sale.
Many SFI products are either subscriptions to a service, such as web hosting, membership in the IAHBE (International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs), or the IAB Health Benefits Plan: or are expendable products such as nutritional supplements which need to be re-ordered from time to time. Sales of products such as these allow the SFI affiliate to not only make a commission on the original sale, but to create recurring, or residual, income.
Sales of some products will allow the SFI affiliate to receive points, and, with enough points, they can begin to create a downline of other SFI affiliates whose sales will generate additional income.
The SFI affiliate program is an excellent place for the beginning Internet marketer to get started for the following reasons:
1. It is entirely free to join
2. It provides all marketing materials, including several professionally designed websites for free
3. It provides an extensive training program in Internet marketing (free)
4. It offers a broad range of products and services for the SFI affiliate to choose to target
If you cannot succeed with the SFI affiliate program, there is a good chance that you will not succeed with Internet marketing at all, as your only task would be to lead potential, and interested, customers to the websites provided by the SFI affiliate program.

Good Morning H-3
Hexagram 3
By: James Byrd
I.The Oracle
A. Hexagram three is called Chun, or Sprouting. Various other interpretations include Gathering Support, Hoarding or Difficulty at the Beginning. Hexagram three's lower trigram is Zhen: shake or thunder. Its upper trigram is Kan: gorge or water.
Hexagram Three is related to Difficulty at the Beginning. Another variation would be the idea of a coming together of two people, and the creation of a third, or water above and thunder below, which gives rise to wet weather and thunderstorms during this lapse of the year. Let us not forget The Three Wise Men, and there is Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.
The main idea is, I am looking at this particular hexagram on My Calendar of Days, a lot of Credence
folks. I have taken the first step and, we are getting there.1. Now is a good time to reinforce your current position, do not seek any new goals or destinations at this time, the keyword is consolidation. Again, Difficulty at the Beginning, determination, and persistence promises great success, hence you might give out, but do not give up. Keep your focus on your desired oasis.
2. Difficulty, stoppings and goings, we will eventually get there.
B. The Judgment
1. Difficulty at the Beginning works supreme successFurthering through perseverance.
Nothing should be undertaken.
2. It furthers one to appoint helpers.
a) Check your bearing before moving towards your planned destination, stay with the Tried and True
b) Thus hold to your plan do not become fickle or haphazard about your personal goals, stay true to your Golden Mean.
C. The Image
1. Clouds and thunder:a) The image of Difficulty at the Beginning.
b) Thus the superior man
Brings order out of confusion.
II. My interpretation
A. "Sprouting"
The difficulty at the Beginning has more to do with when two people connect they will indeed create a third person, a hybrid. The relationship is a slow process, which entails difficulty at the beginning thereby lending to the desired effect of the empty-nest outcome.
So with this image, we see a child is born, learns how to walk, adapts to the social patterns of his or her proximity, finishes colleges and completes that pattern, ideally, that is what is hoped for. With this we can also see that the dangerous time is during the hour just before birth, a number of things could go wrong, Difficulty.
Difficulty followed by sublime success, that is if one stays on a righteous path, such as from the crib to college, and completes the cycle. Between the two extremes, there is a decision process, the righteous course/path brings just rewards.
Do not be fooled by the distant cloud behind you as you progress. And again, it is not an auspicious time to advance forward at the moment, we are somewhat sprouting at this time, and we need also at this time to wait and appoint help.
At this stage of the game do not force things to a premature completion, find a means to maintain and fortify your current position, even if it calls for waiting for that rain cloud behind us to catch up, which will, at any rate, give us the vital nourishment of water and as the hexagram denotes, Growth. Remember, we can't talk and think at the same time, we first think ---> then talk. It's a slow process but, stop and think all the chances you can, that's communications.
The Manager, knows when to halt, such as did the Three Wise Men. Three Wise Men came to the end of their journey to ensure that a Greater Wise Man should farewell on his difficult journey step by step as he starts to bring order out of confusion within this world of Thisness.
