Both the quantity and quality of the water we drink can determine our body's ability to shed excess fat.

As if I needed one more hurdle to make my weight loss even harder!..

A VERY interesting article hit cyberspace this week on www.wowOwow.com, identifying a class of chemicals in your water that can make you fat!

On May 11, the White House announced it was targeting a new threat to America’s health and security. It wasn’t some rogue nation or terrorist organization, or a newfound disease or environmental threat, but endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs. Great.

Scientists have coined a new term for these chemicals — "obesogens" — because they "may promote weight gain and obesity." They’re natural and synthetic compounds, and many of these chemicals work by mimicking estrogen — the very hormone that doctors DON’T want women taking anymore (as a large clinical trial linked hormone therapy to increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, blood clots and abnormal mammograms).

"Obesogens are thought to act by hijacking the regulatory systems that control body weight," says Frederick vom Saal, Ph.D., curators’ professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri. That’s why endocrine disruptors are so good at making us fat — and that’s why diet advice doesn’t always work — because even strictly following the smartest traditional advice won’t lower your obesogen exposure. See, an apple a day may have kept the doctor away 250 years ago when Benjamin Franklin included the phrase in his almanac. But if that apple comes loaded with obesity-promoting chemicals — nine of the ten most commonly used pesticides are obesogens, and apples are one of the most pesticide-laden foods out there — then Ben’s advice is way out of date.

We can reverse the obesogen effect if we simply adopt these four simple laws of leanness:

Leanness Law No. 1: Go Organic

Leanness Law No. 2: Don’t Eat Plastic

Carol Clark of South Hadley, Massachusetts

Carol Clark sent us this wonderful letter:

"I've had my Multi-Pure filter system since 1983, the MP750 model, and I've used it on the counter top and under the sink. I have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the system and the cleanliness and purity of my water.

Several times I've lived where I had a well and septic, and the filter needed changing more than 1X a year, but I didn't mind at all, I still had clean, healthy water. This system saved me lots of $$$ over the years and having to carry heavy jugs of water that may not be so clean anyway.

I will always own a Multi-Pure system!! I also purchased the shower filter in 2008. Where I moved to, the water has so many chemicals, it made my hair like straw and my skin sting. I will never be without that filter either!!"

Thank you for your kind words, Carol! Anyone who purchases a drinking water system can also receive that shower filter Carol was talking about...for FREE! Our current FREE shower filter promotion runs until the end of September. Customers simply need to request it at time of purchase and pay an $8 shipping fee. The outside of your body needs clean, pure water, just like the inside does!

David Richline

We recently received a great testimonial from one of our satisfied customers who has been using Multi-Pure products since 1994. Here is what he had to say:

"I really love the ease and convenience of my Multi-Pure counter top model. I used to lug giant bottles from the water store, but now I have a year’s worth of purified water for just pennies a gallon.

I’m also hooked on the shower filter. I can really tell the difference on my skin with the chlorine removed from the water."

Thanks David! Keep those terrific testimonials coming!

What's in YOUR drinking water?

There's good news and there's bad news. Which would you like first? Ok, we'll start with the bad news...

Research presented on July 14 at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases indicated that hospitalizations for common waterborne diseases cost the U.S. healthcare system as much as $539 million annually, according to a press release.

Using data from a large insurance claims database between 2004 and 2007, Michael Beach of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and his colleagues estimated the hospitalization cost of several common waterborne diseases in the United States, including cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis.

Total estimated costs for hospitalization for the diseases were $154-539 million, including $44-147 million in direct government payments for Medicare and Medicaid.

"When people think about these diseases, they usually think of a simple case of diarrhea, which is a nuisance but quickly goes away. However, these infections can cause severe illness that often result in hospital stays of more than a week, which can quickly drive up health care costs," Beach says.

Other symptoms can include rashes, eye and ear infections and respiratory or neurological symptoms and can even be fatal.

“These cost data highlight that water-related diseases pose not only a physical burden to the thousands of people sickened by them each year, but also a substantial burden in healthcare costs, including direct government payments through Medicare and Medicaid,” said Beach.

Now for the good news! Multi-Pure drinking water systems can reduce cryptosporidium AND giardia, spores which lead to both of the diseases mentioned above! You and your loved ones are better protected when you use our advanced carbon block technology to filter harmful health contaminants out of your drinking water!

Lulu Murphy

We love hearing from our happy customers! They love us and we love them!

Here's a recent testimonial we received from Lulu Murphy in Pennsylvania:

"I have been using a Multipure filter since the mid-90s and would not switch to any other filter. My water always tastes fresh and clean, as water should. Recently, we upgraded our filter to an under-counter model. Much to my surprise, Multipure gave us a customer loyalty discount! Thanks, Multipure!"

To learn more about Alexander Rice's music go to www.myspace.com/alexrice88

Multi-Pure has been busy getting ready for our big 40th anniversary this December 7th! I've been rummaging through old boxes in the warehouse in search of archival material to help us celebrate our history and I found something fun I wanted to share with you today!

When Multi-Pure first began its network marketing distribution, a company theme song was also born. Alexander Rice, son of CEO and Founder H. Allen Rice, wrote an inspiring song entitled "Isn't It Time?" Alexander was just a young teenager when this song was produced. He has since gone on to write many more songs and is currently performing all over the country with one of his bands!

One of the wonderful things about network marketing is that it allows you to truly take control of your financial future. Multi-Pure is the classic American Dream come true...two poor brothers who had an idea and worked hard to make their dreams come true!

Here are the lyrics to the song:
ISN'T IT TIME

dreams
anyone can have a dream
but success in life means making dreams come true

just imagine how you'd like your life to be
then reach out and you'll see
you can make it
just reach out and take it
you're the master of your own destiny

well isn't it time
to live your life by your own rules
and isn't it time
to be the leader of your band
oh isn't it time
to reach your hands up to the sky
and catch a star so bright
that your life
is the life you've always dreamed that it would be

isn't it time
to make your dreams
come
true

Come see the softer side of Multi-Pure!

Having more control of your financial well-being, flexibility in your schedule and command over the amount of time you spend working are desires shared by many people. Women, in particular, are looking for “financial independence while raising a family,” as well as opportunities to strengthen leadership skills and “connect with a sisterhood of like-minded females,” says Bonnie Ross-Parker, CEO and founder of the The Joy of Connecting, a group designed to support women entrepreneurs, business owners and other professional women.

About 80 percent of network marketers are women, according to MLM Advantage, a site that provides tips and training for network marketers.

Here at Multi-Pure, women are welcome as distributors and, in fact, highly valued. Women have an ability to sell our products even more easily because they nurture their customers and don't come across as having a sales pitch.

Women at Multi-Pure have an opportunity to be leaders and to develop skills that will enrich their business, as well as their personal life. While Multi-Pure has hard-hitting science behind our products, you can also find a "softer" side, such as our new "Water Drop" weight loss contest, frequent service projects in the community, and Multi-Pure University's new "Book of the Month Club".

Women care about their families and want to make the world a better place. So does Multi-Pure! Working together we can provide loved ones with better drinking water while protecting the earth with our green products!

Set a goal to do at least 1 thing for your Multi-Pure business each day. "From small acorns grow mighty oak trees."

Today's blog entry comes from Kenton Jones, one of our terrific marketing managers here at Multi-Pure Corporation!

"There’s no shortage of advice. This statement is especially true for those of us in sales. Often, that advice can be chalked up to common sense, and sometimes it comes from experience. The following is an easy-to-swallow dose of both.

Some of you may have heard of Rhonda Abrams. She’s a syndicated columnist, reaching millions of readers through newspaper and online channels. Her specialty is providing business planning expertise, and let’s face it, Multi-Pure isn't just a hobby for you, but a business. I’ve had one of her columns posted up on the wall of my office for 7 years now, because I like it so much. I’m going to take that column and give it some good ol’ Multi-Pure mojo.

Sooner or later, you’re going to have to make a sale. Don’t beat yourself up about it though, sales is more of a craft than an art. It can be learned. Rhonda tells us that there are a few keys to successful sales:

Listen: No sales skill is more important than keeping your mouth shut. A great salesperson hears what customers want – their concerns and priorities. When calling on a customer, it’s tempting to start spewing out your sales pitch: “We have the most highly certified filter...blah blah blah” or “It costs pennies per gallon...blah blah blah” or “It’s the green alternative to bottled water...blah blah blah”. You get the point. By listening, you can better understand how Multi-Pure meets your customer’s needs and desires. Find out what's important to THEM.
