A warm welcome to you all; we hope you enjoy reading this newsletter and find it informative, as well as entertaining.
This is our very special anniversary edition - in fact, it's our first! And what a year it has been. It has meant a lot of work sourcing articles, writing the editorials, answering questions and queries, etc but the two things that have balanced all this and more - it has been fun and a source of personal satisfaction. From the feedback you have kindly sent us we know you have enjoyed reading them; some of the topics have been very serious, some unusual and others were a laugh. As we promised last month, we have a bumper crop of fun links listed towards the bottom of this page together with some serious points we feel need to be reiterated. But first, Mr Patel:-
Mr Patel
When we last told you about Mr Patel, he was still suffering with the skin irritation on his hands. We supplied him with various Aloe products, which he has used on a daily basis. We are delighted to report that his skin condition has greatly improved and is almost back to normal. The discomfort he previously endured is a thing of the past. Another success for herbalife's products!!
Reminders of points we made throughout the year:
At various times during the last year we have stressed the importance of not buying Herbalife products on auction sites. It is the customers who are at risk and we, the distributors, have a duty to put a stop to this practice. The products on sale may be genuine and fresh stock, but they are being supplied without the Herbalife quality of service behind them. No 30 day guarantees, no support, no instructions, etc are given or offered by these sellers.
This situation is such that there are so many Herbalife products sold on the eBay.com site in the USA, eBay.com has set up an entire selling category just for Herbalife products. Whilst some of the sellers may not be distributors, it is evident from the stock offered for sale that many of the sellers are current registered distributors; many with a long Herbalife trading history behind them. These people are acting against the terms of their contracts with Herbalife and offering an inferior service to the one they are contracted to offer to the public.
So, once again, we ask you to report any sellers eBay ID's to us (or to any other Herbalife distributors) and we will investigate/ report them. This is for your protection and safety (some of the products may be counterfeit or stale stock).
Something else we have been 'beating the drum' about in the last year is the provision of statements stating how web sites respect and handle the information gathered from their customers. These are commonly referred to as Privacy Policy or Privacy Statements.
On all of our major affiliated websites and stores, we show these details. We gather privileged information and contact details from customers, so we feel you should know what we do with the information you entrust to us. In summary, our policy statements confirm to you that we do not pass on any of your details to third parties (including Herbalife). Whilst we're on this point, and with regard to Herbalife, our policy (not recording the customer details, etc on Herbalife database) does have a detrimental effect on our discounts, etc but we are honouring our undertaking to you as our customer - in these days where the truth is stretched to almost breaking point, we still believe it is important to keep our word to our customers.
The point we're trying to make here is to be aware when you leave your contact and other details on a website. Obviously, make sure it is a secure site for leaving credit card details, etc, but also satisfy yourself that you know precisely how that website will use your details and who will have access to them. We're sure you receive enough spam and junk emails without carelessly encouraging more.
News of what's coming up in the next couple of months
We hope to have another super article by Charles Crisp from his series about Work from Home, news about www.diets4u.us, update on the Lady from Massachusetts, more news about why we had to 'pull' the item on Thomas Bingham last month and the aftermath, more articles and, of course, more fun links. A great start to our second year, with more super ideas in the pipeline!
Articles
The first article appeared as a result of setting up our new store. We came across a very strange yet interesting article on diabetes; it outlines the relationship between diabetes, depression, sleep and hypnosis. Whilst we do not pretend to have any medical or personal experience of this condition, we felt it was sufficiently thought provoking to include it in this month's issue.
The second article rather fits in with an approach we recently received from a Canadian company supplying Chinese ginseng - this is a piece written by a practitioner of Chinese medicine. He explains in the article why you should never consume iced drinks.
Last, but by no means least, an article on how to quit smoking. Yes, you know it's bad for you and everyone wants you to quit - that's easier said than done (as some of us know to our cost). This article may help you (or someone you know) to give up once and for all.
Suggestions for articles, etc for inclusion in future issues are very welcome and will be seriously considered.
Now, for what you've been waiting for the last few months - the FUN LINKS! - here they are: SIX of them (thanks again to James Hobbs(2) and Allison Crisp (1) for forwarding them to us).
Lift Off
This product is an energy booster drink which, we have been told, has an added benefit in that it is supposed to improve the short term memory. We can't substantiate the last bit but what we can assure our customers is that, like the rest of our product range, this is a food-based energy drink. Please email us at info@diets4u.org for details.
