This is for those sporting types who want strength!

Hi everyone.

There is simply no shortage of use for Love Moon Anions: that narrow thin strip which is placed in the centre of the Love Moon Anion pad. But what people don't know is the power of the strip to electrify the body. The principle is simple: allow electricity to pass through your body and experience a transformation in your body's strength. From cysts to fibroids to sinuses to bacteria eating your skin, Love Moon Anion projects an intense dosage of negative anions which works to increase your physique to the point of unleashing latent energy potential. Result: a sudden increase in strength.

In other words, the Love Moon Anion acts like a Jumper Cable to your neurons: it simply makes it easy for electrical currents to jump from neuron to neuron thus making your nervous system (the ones which make your muscles twitch) efficient. That is why you experience a sudden increase in strength.

When your car battery goes dead, doesn't it require a sudden jolt of electricity to pump the battery up to par and then there is ignition. The same thing too with Love Moon Anion. By allowing neurons to pass electrical impulses more efficiently, your battery (body) is suddenly given an extra jolt of energy.

Sportivo divos and divas: watch this most interesting video clip and ask yourself: Should I wear a Love Moon Anion in my next competition?

"Are Tampons Little White Lies?"

Hi!

How was your Christmas? I was trying to find Dr Vincent Chen's philantropic record on Winalite but could not find any. Instead, I found he is a regular donor to many of the Chinese groups from around the world. It is a bit disappointing because we had hoped he would also donate to women's causes internationally and not merely to one cultural grouping. Anyway, on the eve of Christmas I stumbled upon this report from an independent Winalite website in New Zealand. It is about tampons and I thought I should share it with you. The link is: http://www.winalitenewzealand.com/articles-of-interest/toxic-tampons.html

Have a good break!

Your friend, Onn.

WINALITE'S 2010 INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL CONGRESS

The 2010 WINALITE INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL CONGRESS kicked off on Jan.4^th, 2010 in the renowned Regal Palace Hotel in Dongguan, Guangdong province. In the afternoon WINALITE 2009 Award Ceremony was held in the hotel’s deluxe Regal Palace to honor outstanding WINALITE distributors all around the world, followed by a magnificent Winaliter’s Gala Dinner to celebrate the new year.

Chairman of the board Vincent Chen, Chairperson of WINALITE’s listed company Jenny Hu, Global Chief Executive Officer Frankie Wu, Global Chief Operation Officer Kelvin Zheng, Global Chief Marketing Officer Willie Long, Global Vice President, Regional President of Europe Xie Dongping, Regional President of Southeast Asia Fang Zhigang, Regional President of North America Zhang Jian, Regional President of South America Li Wenxiu, Regional President of Africa Li Chunyan, Regional President of Greater India Yang Cuiling joined with all global strategic committee members as well as more than 2000 WINALITE elite distributors to celebrate the grand event.

In his address to the congress, Mr. Vincent Chen announced that his vow to “generate revenue of RMB 10 billion and launch 70 overseas branches within three years” has been realized thanks to the collaboration of all Winaliters in the world. He attributed this victory to all the WINALITE partners and employees around the world. “Without you, I can never succeed!”

Mr. Vincent Chen said the year of 2009 has been an unusual year, and the year of 2010 will be a “Management Year”, a “Product Year”, an “Education Year” as well as a “Miracle-making Year”. He said he’s both determined and confident to lead the group to build WINALITE into China’s No.1 direct sales company within five years and the world’s No.1 within ten years.

Mr. Chen’s passionate address inspired the audience greatly, igniting repeated waves of applause and cheer.

Dioxin & Feminine Hygiene Products by Heather Guidone

This story from Heather Guidone, the Director of Operations of the Endometriosis Research Center is an eye-opener in terms of a medical breakthrough to availing us knowledge of current topics concerning the link between dioxin and endometriosis and finally, cancer.

Kelly Matras, a Winalite Distributor from Canada (see her link at http://web.mac.com/kellymatras/Anion/LoveMoon.html) in her opening page when introducing Dr Guidone's research paper, writes with a question:

"Have you ever really thought about your sanitary napkin options? The effect it has on your body? The environment?"

And then she answers as follows: "Most of us have never questioned what our pads or tampons are really made from and the process to make them. During recent green research, I was shocked to discover that both sanitary napkins and disposable diapers contain DIOXIN."

She further writes: "Dioxin is linked to endometriosis and cancer. No joke. Scarier yet is that the effects of Dioxin is cumulative - building up in the body. You wonder what 36 months of diaper exposure on one of the most sensitive,vascular parts of a little body might do let alone 40 years of sanitary napkin use. Dioxin exposure to women in particular, poses additional risks than just that of their own health: it crosses the placenta into the growing infant and is also present in the fatty breast milk, thereby exposing the child."

Then she gives us the link to Dr Guidone's fantastic research paper of which I reproduce below in full while crediting both Kelly Matras and her superb introduction to Dr Guidone's work on the subject which is of immense interest to all women of the world.

http://www.insiderreports.com/storypage.asp?storyID=20001533&ChanID=HQ

"There has been much concern and discussion of late regarding the presence of dioxin in feminine hygiene products. It has been long debated, and there is conflicting evidence, as to whether or not the use of such products could lead to several illnesses, including Endometriosis.

While the industry states their products are safe, conflicting studies performed by independent research institutes deem that the products do indeed contain low levels of dioxin, which has been proven harmful to humans.

Feminine hygiene products are used by up to nearly 70% of menstruating women in the United States, and the average woman may use as many as 11,000 tampons and feminine hygiene products in her lifetime. The toxic residues in tampons and feminine hygiene products come in direct contact with some the most absorbent tissue in a woman's body. Worse, the effects of dioxin are cumulative and can be measured as much as 20 or 30 years after exposure. This accumulation is cause for concern because a woman may be exposed to dioxin in tampons and feminine hygiene products for approximately 40 years over the course of her reproductive life.

Currently, the FDA requires tampon and related menstruation product manufacturers to monitor dioxin levels in their products; however, the results are not available to the public and the dioxin tests relied upon by the FDA are done by the manufacturers themselves. That's a little bit like having the fox guard the hen house! Independent, unbiased testing and publicly available results are needed now to allow women the opportunity to make informed decisions about the products they wish to use.

Several legislators have attempted to pass bills to provide for research to determine the extent to which the presence of dioxin, synthetic fibers and other additives in tampons and similar products pose any health risks, including risks of cervical cancer, Endometriosis, infertility, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, immune system deficiencies, pelvic inflammatory disease and toxic shock syndrome.

Most recently, Assemblyman Dennis Cardoza passed AB280 out of the Assembly Committee on Health for review by the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services. In 1997, Representative Caroline Maloney introduced HR2900, the "Tampon Safety and Research Act of 1997." In 1992, the late Representative Ted Weiss brought the issue up in a Subcommittee hearing of the Committee on Government Operations. He did this after his staff had uncovered an internal FDA memo which warned that "the risk of dioxin in tampons can be quite high," and that "the most effective risk-management strategy would be to assure that feminine hygiene products contain no dioxin." The California Assembly has also previously considered AB1963, which required the state Department of Health Services to determine if sanitary products contain dioxin residue and to require warning labels on all sanitary products found to contain dioxin residue.

To date, no such bill has been enacted, and the American public remains at risk.

According to a February 2000 report from the Food & Drug Administration, tampons and feminine hygiene products currently sold in the U.S. are made of cotton, rayon, or blends of rayon and cotton. Even though these products are now produced using elemental chlorine-free or totally chlorine free bleaching processes, these methods can still generate dioxins at "trace levels." Thus, there may be low amounts of dioxin present from environmental sources in cotton, rayon, or rayon/cotton tampons and feminine hygiene products. By contrast, a report released by The US Environmental Protection Agency clearly describes dioxin as a serious public health threat. The EPA report states, there is no "safe" level of exposure to dioxin - even trace amounts are a risk. Further, the EPA report confirmed that dioxin is "a cancer hazard to people;" that exposure to dioxin can also cause severe reproductive and developmental problems (at levels 100 times lower than those associated with its cancer causing effects); and that dioxin can cause immune system damage and interfere with regulatory hormones.

Dioxin exposure to women in particular, poses additional risks than just that of their own health: it crosses the placenta into the growing infant and is also present in the fatty breast milk, thereby exposing the child.

Evidence of dioxin as a catalyst for Endometriosis has been well-documented. In a 1996 Environmental Protection Agency study, dioxin exposure was linked with increased risks for Endometriosis, as well as the increased risks of pelvic inflammatory disease, reduction of fertility, and interference with normal fetal and childhood development. The EPA conclusions regarding dioxin exposure are particularly alarming in light of a 1989 Food and Drug Administration report, which stated that "possible exposures from all other medical device sources would be dwarfed by the potential tampon exposure." Dr. Philip Tierno, Jr., Director of Clinical Microbiology and Diagnostic Immunology at New York University Medical Center states that "dioxins, though they exist in the environment, have a worse effect when they contact mucous surfaces like the vagina."

In a May 1998 article in The Press Tribune, the story of an Endometriosis patient was recounted. Patient A. paid nearly $1,000 to MAXIM Technologies, Inc., a private lab in St. Paul, Minnesota, to test the dioxin levels in 10 Playtex Super-Plus Absorbency tampons. Results from the tests performed on Patient A.'s tampons showed between .6 to .7 picograms of dioxin, according to Mike DeVito, a toxicologist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency who evaluated the results at the request of The Press-Tribune. The EPA maintains their position that there is "no safe level of dioxin" and that the levels found in the Playtex tampons posed an unacceptable risk. DeVito further admitted that dioxin has an "extremely long half-life" - able to last in the body for as long as 11 years. "So if you get exposed to 1 picogram today, in 11 years, you'll have half a picogram in you," he noted.

Medical Journals are replete with evidence supporting the risks dioxin poses. In a September 1998 study in the Revue Medicale de Bruxelles Journal entitled "Dioxins: Current Knowledge about Health Effects," authors Wissing et al. noted that "in humans, a series of conditions related to hormonal dysfunction as undescended testis, decreased spermatogenesis, testicular cancer and Endometriosis have increased in incidence during the last decades. The chronological parallelism with the appearance of dioxins in the environment suggests that these might exert biological effects at the prevailing level of exposure." In a 1997 article entitled "Does Disruption of Immune and Endocrine Systems by Environmental Toxins Contribute to Development of Endometriosis?," authors Osteen and Sierra-Rivera noted that "evidence continues to accumulate indicating that environmental toxins, whether naturally occurring or man-made, may directly or indirectly affect the response of the endometrium to steroids, resulting in various pathological states including Endometriosis."

Authors Mayani et al. cited a research study in a 1997 Journal of Human Reproduction article, "Dioxin Concentrations in Women with Endometriosis," in which the concentrations of dioxin were measured in the blood of 44 infertile women with Endometriosis against a control group of 35 age-matched women with tubal infertility. 18% of women with Endometriosis were dioxin positive as compared to 3% in the control group. Although the concentrations of dioxin did not seem to be directly correlated with the severity of Endometriosis, these observations contribute to the accumulating data linking dioxin to Endometriosis in humans.

In a 15 year study outlined in a 1993 Journal of Applied Toxicology, world renowned scientists Rier, Martin, Bowman, Dmowski and Becker reported on "Endometriosis in Rhesus Monkeys Following Chronic Exposure to Dioxin." The incidence of Endometriosis was determined in a colony of rhesus monkeys chronically exposed to dioxin for a period of 4 years. Ten years after termination of dioxin treatment, the presence of Endometriosis was documented by surgical laparoscopy and the severity of disease was assessed. The incidence of Endometriosis was directly correlated with dioxin exposure and the severity of disease was dependent upon the dose administered. This 15-year study indicates that latent female reproductive abnormalities may be associated with dioxin exposure in the rhesus.

Serdar Bulun, MD, Director of Molecular Genetics and Reproductive Endocrinology at The University of Chicago and his team of researchers published an April 2000 article in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology entitled "Expression of Dioxin-Related Transactivating Factors and Target Genes in Human Eutopic Endometrial and Endometriotic Tissues." In Dr. Bulun's study, it was demonstrated for the first time the expression of dioxin-related transcription factors in endometriotic tissues and stromal cells. Strikingly elevated transcripts in Endometriosis may give rise to significantly increased enzyme activity and thus promote the development and growth of Endometriosis by either activating procarcinogens or inducing the formation of catechol estrogens - or both.

Still further evidence exists. In a study published in November 1999 by researchers in the Reproductive Toxicology Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cummings et al. discussed the "Effect of Prenatal Exposure to TCDD on the Promotion of Endometriotic Lesion growth by TCDD in Adult Female Rats and Mice." Their data confirmed the sensitivity of mice to the promotion of endometriotic lesion growth by dioxins.

In the "Genetics of Endometriosis" by Professor Stephen Kennedy published in the European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology/Reproductive Biology in February 1999, author noted that there was mounting evidence that Endometriosis is inherited as a complex trait, like diabetes or asthma. Professor Kennedy stated, "this implies there are environmental factors, such as dioxin, that are interacting with multiple genetic susceptibility loci to produce the phenotype."

Much is still unknown about environmental hazards like dioxin and the role they play in Endometriosis; however, incontrovertible evidence shows that independent as well as agency testing has confirmed presence of dioxin in feminine hygiene products. We further know that dioxin is linked to Endometriosis and a host of other serious illnesses. We, as female consumers and Endometriosis patients, need to demand the latest, most truthful and up to date research on this matter, so that we may make our own educated decisions regarding our products and personal care choices.

What can you do? Write your local government representatives and urge them to support State mandated independent testing to determine the true extent to which dioxin exists in our feminine hygiene products - and to determine what risks this poses to us and our children."

Chlorine bleaching and Dioxin

Dioxin is one of the by-products of many different chemical, manufacturing and combustion processes that involve chlorine, including chlorine bleaching.

Chlorine bleaching is an industrial process used in wood pulp manufacturing that is used to produce many products that we buy every day.

During this manufacturing process, dioxins and other toxic elements are released into the atmosphere contaminating water, soil and plants and subsequently the whole food chain.

Dioxin accumulates in the fat cells of the body masquerading as a hormone which can lead to disruption of the body's own hormones.

Dioxin pollution is one of the world's most serious environmental problems. Dioxin is a family of toxins produced through various natural and industrial processes such as medical and municipal waste incineration.

A large amount of the world's dioxin is produced during the manufacturing process of certain chlorinated products such as wood pulp, which is used in the production of, among other products, toilet paper, tissues, paper, sanitary pads and also tampons made of rayon.

Ongoing research into dioxin pollution by the US Government's Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that dioxin is a 'human carcinogen'.

The US Government’s Environmental Protection Agency prepared a report citing new evidence of cancer risk from exposure to the chemical compound dioxin

A draft of the report issued in May 2000 concluded for the first time that dioxin is a
‘Human carcinogen’ and although emissions of dioxins have fallen since their peak in the 70’s, they may still pose a significant threat. Environmentalists in the USA have estimated from the EPA’s risk findings that approximately 100 of the 1400 cancer deaths in the US occurring daily are attributed to dioxin. It also states that the compound builds up cumulatively in the body over time from birth, so heightened exposure means heightened risk

Dioxins released into the atmosphere contaminate plants and subsequently the animals that eat these plants. They are also deposited in the sea through sewage waste and air pollution, contaminating fish and other sea life. Inevitably, humans are exposed to the compound when they eat these plants and animals.

Farmers growing conventional cotton in countries such as India, Turkey and even in the USA are continually exposed to dioxins from the pesticides they spray on their cotton. Poor third world farmers, who grow food crops amongst the cotton, expose themselves and their families to toxic pesticides and dioxin residuals during the cotton growing and management processes and also from residuals on the crops that they eat. There is contamination of ground water. The Ecologist recently highlighted the plight of these farmers in an article called Committing Pesticide written by the acclaimed author, Moyra Bremner.

The EPA’s report shows growing concern over the heightened risk of cancer from high-grade exposure to dioxin. However, it also states that low-grade exposure to dioxin is linked to an array of other health problems. These include changes in hormone levels, developmental defects in babies and children; low sperm counts in men and immune system suppression.

More information on the USA government’s environmental agency report on dioxin can be found on: www.epa.gov/ncea/dioxin.htm

Of great concern to women’s groups and environmentalists is the production of dioxins both in the production of and spraying of pesticides and in the manufacture of paper pulp products such as tampons and sanitary pads. Dioxin is not only harmful to the environment, but also unnecessarily exposes people to low levels of dioxins that can end up in food and certain products derived from wood pulp such as sanitary pads and tampons made from conventionally grown cotton, intensively sprayed with pesticides, and synthetic materials derived from chlorine-bleached pulp such as rayon.

According to statistics, the average woman uses approximately 11,000 tampons in her lifetime and it is, therefore considered prudent to avoid unnecessary additional dioxin exposure where possible. Crops that are grown organically avoid the practice of spraying with pesticides, so it is sensible to choose foods and products made from natural materials that are grown and produced organically. This helps to protect the environment, the health of the farmers working the land, and has the potential to reduce the public’s exposure to carcinogenic toxins. Recent studies suggest a strong link between exposure to dioxin and the development of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, typically the pelvic area, the ovaries or the intestines. This tissue, which would normally leave the body during menstruation, accumulates and causes heavy menstrual cramps and frequently, infertility. The disease affects many millions of women worldwide and the exact cause is, as yet, unclear. However, a study carried out in 1999 by Osamu Tsutsumi, Professor of Gynaecology at Tokyo University Hospital Japan, (2) suggested a strong link between exposure to dioxin and the development of endometriosis. Tests on the effects of dioxin on the human reproductive system, showed that women tested who were suffering from endometriosis had high levels of dioxin in the body.

The purpose of this article is to promote awareness of the toxic chemical dioxin and rayon in sanitary napkins and tampons. Also, this article will address alternatives to sanitary napkins that contain dioxin and rayon (such as cloth napkins and dioxin free napkins produced by Winalite).

What is Dioxin?

According to the foodsafety.gov website, "Dioxin refers to a group of chemical compounds that share certain chemical structures and biological characteristics." The most toxic dioxins are, 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Dioxins are an unintentional by product as a result of human manufacturing activities. Dioxins can be created through combustion processes. Some examples of combustion processes are municipal waste incineration, burning fossil fuels, and from chlorine bleaching of pulp and paper.

Dioxin and Rayon in Tampons and Sanitary Napkins

Trace amounts of dioxin and rayon are contained in sanitary napkins and tampons. Traditional tampons and sanitary napkins manufactured in the United States are made of cotton, rayon, or blends of rayon and cotton. Rayon is produced from cellulose fibers from wood pulp. In the past, dioxin was created from the bleaching process of wood pulp material. Current methods of bleaching now use elemental chlorine-free r 100% chlorine free bleaching processes. According to the fda.gov website, "state-of-the art testing of tampons and tampon materials that can detect even trace amounts of dioxin has shown that dioxin levels are at or below the detectable limit."

The FDA regulates tampon manufacturers by asking them to provide information about their pulp purification processes. The FDA websites states that currently, "the detectable limit for dioxin detection is approximately .1 to 1 parts per trillion of dioxin." Using the dioxin detection test limit, it is said that the dioxin level in rayon raw materials is below or at the acceptable limit of .1 to 1 parts per trillion. For reference, one part per trillion is like putting one teaspoon of dioxin in a lake that is fifteen feet deep and a mile square. However, if one knew for a fact that dioxin was polluting the water, would one drink the water, or find an alternative dioxin free source of drinking water?

How to choose Dioxin Free Sanitary Napkins and Tampons

When shopping for sanitary napkins and tampons, remember to look on the package to see if the product is listed as having chlorine free bleaching processes. If not, then the product you're buying may contain dioxin. The majority of name brand sanitary napkins and tampons in your typical grocery store do not use a 100% chlorine free bleaching process to cut on costs.

Alternatives to Sanitary Napkins and Tampons that Contain Dioxin

There are alternatives when purchasing sanitary napkins and tampons with dioxin. For example, you can buy cloth napkins. The benefits of cloth napkins are that; they are reusable and do not contain dioxin. The cons of cloth napkins are that; you have to wash them and there are worries of cleanliness.

Also, if you are not too keen on purchasing cloth napkins, a company called Winalite produces a sanitary napkin called Love Moon Anion that is dioxin free. They use a distillation processes that does not use bleaching agents or rayon in their materials.

What is love without dioxins?

My mates always asked me: "Why are you in this business Onn?" "Why isn't there any other business you can do?" And, as an afterthought, they never hesitate to comment: "I don't think I can do this (women) business".

First, let me just say the following: "I am in this business not because of the money but because of the opportunity to do something for women because as far as I can remember, women have done a lot of things for me, and to me, good and bad but I remember my mother, and I can never repay my mother for bringing me into this world, and rearing me to become what I am, a proper man, with a proper heart".

"Women", as they always say in Melbourne, "is more unpredictable than the Melbourne weather". Is that a demeaning question? I think it is.

I do not want to sound feminist but I owe a lot to women because I believe they are the only things beautiful in the world. I mean, you can look at a sun set, but you can't say the experience is beautiful as the experience of women.

Let me be candid. Without women, there can't be love and without love there can't be babies. I mean, how did you think you were procreated?

Without further adieu, I shall say the following: Women deserve the best things in life. But it can't be a pad laced with poison. That would be awfully wrong.

So my mate asks again? Why am I passionate about women's (private) matters. I will answer this as follows:

Since when have we not loved our mother? Since when have we been ungrateful to the only thing which makes us men. Without woman, there won't be a baby. Weren't we a baby before? And now, since we became adults, we allow women (whom we love) to buy pads which contain posion and which harm them?

I don't think this is love. Love has something to do with care and if we cared enough, why can't we care enough for the women we love? Like buying them proper, sanitized and dioxin-free pads. Like, making sure that they do not poison themselves. Like not being indifferent to the current hot topic on women's health: are they absorbing dioxins into their blood when they wear pads made from recycled paper? And, don't we know that not a single major manufacturer has volunteered to specify the materials in the making of the pad. Not that the Fed authorities have not asked them but it is not against the law not to state what is obviously a case of dioxin contaminated pads.

It is an ethical issue: more or less. But it costs lives.
 
I mean I ask this simple question: Would you purposely buy your own wife a dioxin-contaminated pad when you know the facts? It is not like this issue is a new issue. It has been an ongoing issue since the Feds discovered dioxin. Why would any man want any woman to wear poisonous pads?
Is ignorance a solid defence for continuing the practice of buying dioxin pads?

Isn't it a plausible explanation that manufacturers of popular pads produced pads with less of a sanitary concern than being sanitized because they consider pads merely a disposable item and therefore, it doesn't merit it being taken seriously? Like using recycled paper in their manufacture and yet we know recycled materials, including paper, have all been contaminated with dioxins?

Let us look at it from another perspective: How do you explain that there are male doctors who specialise in gynaecology? Would you mind your wife or partner being examined by a male gynaecologist? Would the same male gynaecologist be able to examine your daughter? Why are some of the best chefs in the world men? Why is sex education given to children whether they are male or females? Does an Avon catalogue have to be sold by a woman only? Why can't a woman play soccer? Why can't gynaecologists examine only their own genders?

I believe the only thing we can say about men indulging in a woman's private business is that this business concerns love and health. Men should take an interest in women's affairs to the extent that both men and women have a shared responsibility to acquire knowledge so as not to endanger the women's health, and vice versa, the woman takes an interest in men's health issue too.

After all, when one of us is diseased, both of us would feel the pain.

Winalite's motto is: Everything we do, we do for love. Is it wrong to want to help women get a safe pad? I believe more than love, it is responsibility. It is also, in the eyes of most public, a duty of care to look out for each other in the public interest. Any ayes?

Review of Winalite Opportunity by Jaime Soriano

If you’re reading this review, chances are you’re looking for information on Winalite and thinking about becoming a Winalite distributor. Before you join, I want to advise you to read this whole review so you’ll be in a position to make an educated decision about the company. In this simple third party review, I’ll go into information on the company, the product, the pay plan and how you can leverage the internet to build your Winalite business, should you decide to join. First Things First, Who Is Winalite? Winalite International is a company that markets health care products through a network marketing business model. The company was founded by Mr. Chen Huaide, a renowned and distinguished business man from China. The company’s main headquarters is located in Guangzhou, China. In addition to the home office, the company also operates a standard production plant with a floor area of 100,000 square meters. Currently, Winalite International has over 400 corporate employees and 500,000 distributors worldwide. The company’s corporate team is comprised of some very seasoned and documented leaders, many of whom have held executive positions with Fortune 500 companies. The company has expanded into 50 countries, in several different regions across the globe, including Europe, Southeast Asia and, now, North America. Also, there are company branch offices all over the world to support distributors. In the first quarter of 2008, Winalite was added to the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (HKWO), further establishing itself as a stable and credible company that is ready for future growth. What Does Winalite Market? Winalite’s flagship product is the Love Moon Anionic Sanitary Napkin. Generally speaking, in most cases, the product is primarily used by women. The Love Moon Sanitary Napkin provides a great alternative for women when it comes to their sanitary needs and has a soft surface that helps keep your skin dry and comfortable. The Napkins also contain super absorption agents that can keep you dry and comfortable even if you are on the go. What makes the Love Moon Sanitary Napkins unique is the Anion tape which is embedded into each napkin. The Anion tape has been reported to significantly reduce odor, reduce stress, fortify the immune system, increase metabolism, decrease fatigue and improve hormonal balance. Now, you may be wondering, “What exactly is Anion?”. Anion is another term for “negative ions”. Based on the information on the corporate website, studies have shown that negative ions increase blood flow to the brain (resulting in alertness), aids in the prevention of respiratory illness, counteract the bad effects of smoking and helps you sleep better. The product has received awards and is currently known as a well known brand in Asia. The Winalite Pay Plan As far as the business opportunity goes, you can become a distributor four different ways, as a Bronze member, Silver member, Gold member and Platinum member. After your initial product order, you’ll have to maintain a monthly autoship order to maximize the compensation plan. The compensation plan allows you to make money a few ways including Sponsor Bonuses, Multiplier Bonuses and Leadership Matching Bonuses. In a nutshell, the pay plan provides upfront income and back-end, residual income, which is good if you’re thinking about joining the company. In summary, Winalite is a solid company that has an experienced management team, a unique product and a generous compensation plan. However, having all that in place is not enough to guarantee success. While it’s clear that having a credible company supporting you is vital, ultimately, your success will rely on your ability to sponsor new people, market products and build a team. One of the key components to accomplishing those things is the ability to market and generate leads. My recommendation is that you use a proven Attraction Marketing system that allows you to brand yourself, generate leads, make money even when people don’t join your business and sponsor people into your Winalite business on the back-end. If you can successfully combine online attraction marketing and branding with a solid offline system, you can very well be on your way to building a wildly prosperous business.

US$40,000 per week? Is this true?

"Who Else Wants to Make Up To US$40K Per Week?"

http://hubpages.com/profile/Winalite+Wins

Listen, I'm a woman with two daughters, and we know what works for us as women, right?

We don't need a news show, a magazine article or a direct mail piece to tell us what we need, especially when it deals with that 'time of the month'.

Heck, until my husband began helping us build out our marketing platform for this Winalite, Love Moon & Anion business, even he did not really know all the horror stories that went with this cruel monthly event we've had to face until now with inferior women's sanitary pad choices.

Seriously.

He was absolutely floored when our 11 year old daughter described the 'old school' pads as being like wearing a diaper, and soggy and wet.

But when he heard her describe the Winalite, Love Moon & Anion pads, and she told him how she was dry and felt like she was NOT wearing a diaper when it was being used, well, he knew he had to help markett the product, fast.

Our team is growing by leaps and bounds, and we're already diamond after just a few weeks,

We've already bought a second platinum platform, and we'll have that built out to diamond by this weekend.

But the cool part, is that these pads really work.

They have amazing dry to the touch technology, that is out of this world.

Every woman, and I mean EVERY woman we show these to becomes a raving fan, immediately.

They also become a user, and some become a distributor, too.

Men also flock to this product, because they understand the power of maketing a product that women absolutely love.

How simple of a sale is that every time, huh?

How about SUPER simple?

And, super profitable as you build your distribution legs out.

So simple, that we are already Diamond and getting diamond again the second time this week.

Cotton, rewashable pads: No Dioxins!

Hi Folks

It is me again. As usual, I like to see what is there in the market. I have read references to "organic pads" and this one, coming soon after the Katrina disaster, simply blew me away. I mean, this home-made business actually sews the pads!

The folks at Pandora's Pads are adamant that DIOXINs Kill. They are not alone: we know that and that is why we are promoting similar pads like Pandora's but are of course, disposable. The basic difference is that Pandora sells ala  Home Made, we sell it retail through getting others to get wholesale price. See the difference.

We are in the business of Network Marketing which really means, we Sell, Sponsor and Service all our people in our team. There are big bucks to be made in this business simply because the Conversion Rate is extremely high after a successful demonstration, and there is simply NO COMPETITION.

Love Moon Anion is outstanding on its own merits but we leave it up to you to judge. Meanwhile, checkout these organic pads and see how similar the impetus is among these two businesses: one homemade and another a corporate giant.

The similarity is in the voice against dioxins the potent killing agent which will cause women untold misery from the time she wears commercial pads which design contains dioxin.

Onn Ibrahim
Winalite Global Distributor
Australia

Winalite Love Moon Anion is the only Direct Marketing company which can be promoted through website or U-tube video but has to be demonstrated to be convinced.

Yes, it is true. Of all the direct selling, direct marketing, multilevel marketing and network marketing companies existing in the world now, Winalite's Core Product, the Love Moon Anion, can be promoted via websites on the internet but can only be sold through a real, live, one-on-one, demonstration.

Even Winalite websites that show a video presentation of the demonstration cannot convince its viewers how its product, Winalite's Love Moon Anion compares with its rivals. For example, there is simply no way the viewer can physically touch and examine a wet pad.

This is the Main Feature of the way Winalite markets its products, especially its Flagship Product, the Love Moon Anion.

Not only is the product radically different than its competitors, its most striking feature cannot be simply viewed on u-tube television: it just has to be examined physically. Thus, Winalite's product enjoys an advantage over other brands because it requires confirmation of its claims directly from the potential customner.

It is also unique because in order to view the demonstration, the person must either locate a local Winalite distributor or go to the nearest Winalite service centre where regular demonstrations are conducted each week.

The product's non-availability on retail shelves adds to its exclusive nature. To buy a product, a person has to order it from a registered Winalite Distributor. Repeat orders can be delivered directly to the buyer but the buyer must at least have opened an account with the company through a Winalite Distributor. This ensures the integrity of the selling process: from enquiry, interest, purchase and repeat sale. In this process, the Distributor is always close and available to the customer because a Distributor's income is determined by the way he or she conducts his or her own business. Thus, a direct customer relationship is formed and it is this relationship which is the basis of all of Winalite's transaction: it is a relationship based on integrity, service, trust and love. As such, the Winalite approach is intrinsically a business of love and extrinsically a business of service and communication. What value!


Add on to the fact that the product is a generic use product, falling into the category of "essential item" makes the product a perpetual and recurring need and want item. Over time, with education and improved incomes and healthy lifestyles, Winalite's Love Moon Anion is well positioned to grab the biggest market share of all time. It is, in fact, the only Patented sanitary napkin or pad in the world.

As we all know, direct marketing companies have sprouted like mushrooms all over the place especially so with the onset and booming internet markets but Winalite's Love Moon Anion must simply be demonstrated in front of a prospect in order for anything to happen, much less a sale.

This is not an indictment of the plethora of Winalite's websites which have sprouted like weeds after a heavy downpour, and will remain there despite the dearth of online traffic nor competition between Winalite's Distributors themselves, or intra-competition, which is competition between Winalite's own corporate office and their own Independent Distributors. Nor is it a disincentive for wannabe website developers to promote their Love Moon Anion but frankly, I have seen all of those online demonstrations and nothing really beats a real, live, one-on-one demonstration.

The product's features mean that you have to see the demonstration to see the evidence. This is where I believe, and absolutely confident, Winalite is the best Direct Marketing company to win the hearts and minds of its customers including its Business Partners from all over the world: It is truly a humbling experience and it truly creates a level playing field for every player from any strata, demography, condition and orientation of society.

In fact, Winalite is The Only Generic Direct Marketing Corporation in the world whose (which?) slogan "Technology Creates Love" coincides remarkably accurately with its motto , "All we do is in the name of LOVE". It is the quintessential Corporate Theme which engenders an even dearer theme, which can be seen in its Corporate Mission: "To make Winalite a Top International Brand Name and one of the Top 500 Companies in the World by forming a group of top management as well as marketing elites around the world and by synergizing the latest techniques in healthcare technology and e-commerce".

Is it any wonder then that from this Corporate Mission, the greatness of Winalite's Trading and Operating Philosophy can be discerned from its declared Corporate Vision which is:

"To help others create a life of ultimate freedom by nurturing a force of love in this world and by providing career opportunities that cares for consumers as well as healthcare products that are innovative and a corporate culture that stresses on spiritual values".

It isn't any accident therefore a clue to the company's raison d'etre must come from this statement found in one of the company's many literature. On dedicating its existence to women, the company focuses on Mother. On this subject, the company reads: "There is only one best woman in the world: she is our loving mother." The company's reading continues further: "There is only one most beautiful voice in the world: that is the call from our mother".

How succinct, beautiful, perceptive and sensitive can the statement be? It can only come from Mr Vincent Chen, the founder and spiritual guide of the company. He has a personal loss to tell us: the basic and intrinsic motivation for founding Winalite International with a world's first Patented sanitary pad which features the green Anion strip when he could not stop the slow death of his most beloved women in his life, his own mother who finally succumbed to cervical cancer.

Such profound dedication to his late mother prompted him to bequeath millions of dollars to product reaearch, quite obviously to find out what really caused cervical cancer and how terminal and deadly could it be? This resulted in a product which took three years to develop and be ready to be launched into the market but took another three years to be patented in 169 countries in order to protect the invention so as to also protect the interests of its more than five million Business Partners from all over the world.

The invention is so ingenious it also incorporates anti-counterfeit technology which many counterfeiters are finding it hard to emulate or copy.

There are simply no secrets in Winalite: The Goal is to achieve $US7.5 billion by 2017 which would position the company as the Largest Direct Selling Company in the World.

Independent Distributors like my wife and myself welcome this opportunity to participate in what has been hailed as "The Greatest Business Opportunity of this Century". We invite you to participate in this wonderfully warm and loving opportunity, one that for a start, you review your own use of pads, and ask yourselves: Do I really love my wife when she is wearing an inferior pad full of dioxins (poison)? Do I want to shortchange my children when I know they are being poisoned? Do I want my wife to risks endometriosis leading to infertility? Do I want my family to suffer the indignity of having a bacteria-laden pad even when the pad is new in its packet? Do I want them to suffer embarassment and discomfort from a poor quality pad which is so wet it leaks? What can I do to provide a better solution? Isn't love all about wanting the best for your family?

As a father of many children, my love for the family isn't just about food, quality time, education and instilling good ethical values. It is also knowing that I do not purposely poison them through the very things they wear.

Today's entry is also to salute my wife who is my best partner and supporter in the program of spreading Winalite love. Here is my gratitude: some pictures of her demonstrating to a group of women of all ages at a recent private meeting held at a public space.

With all my love to all the women in the world who have to suffer the pain of menses and its consequent effects on women's beahviour and the incongruity of a poor, second-rate pad, let us make this place a better place to live in by ridding ourselves of the ignorance and indifference toward dioxins, the most poisonous of toxins which infiltrate our bodies and souls and causes irreparable damage and harm to family and civil society when we have a better and reliable choice.

Till another day for another entry ....

Jamaludin and Dr Bruce Fang -- My Luck!

I joined Winalite after witnessing a demonstration by my brother-in-law in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At that time, I was visiting my mother who needed some help and resolution for a family matter. There was an impasse and I, being the eldest in the family, had to step in.

Jamaludin, my brother-in-law, first started the business about two years ago. I was, at that time, on a stopover to Singapore, and had no time to see the business. He did tell my daughter who also happened to travel that way and she tried to tell me. My mother was laughing at Jamaludin all that time because, really, in a country like Malaysia where a sizeable portion of the population is conservative Muslims, a man indulging (ie making a living professionally on women’s pads) was simply unheard of.

Not that it was strange for Jamaludin to involve himself in the business. It wasn’t strange because he was married to my sister and my sister Junita was known to have serious cramps when she was having her regular menses.

I wasn’t preview to all of these cramps and even my wife doesn’t have them. But from what I heard, cramps on the onset of menses is really a disturbing if not seriously painful experience. When two years later, Jamaludin told me he had personally known of cases where the cramps disappeared after the women changed to Winalite’s Love Moon Anion pads, I was skeptical. I mean, there are a lot of claims and testimonies out there in the marketing world: could it be real?

Jamaludin proceeded to show me what the product was all about. He didn’t say much, and I guess, after joining Winalite immediately after, there wasn’t really a need to. First, he was a man, and anybody, men and women included would wonder why would a man like him (he is well built and looked really healthy), want to promote and sell women’s pads.

Secondly, of course, isn’t pads really a women’s business so much so men should not even contemplate being in it? Well, I was wrong on all counts.

As I recalled, when the demonstration was complete, I was blown. Two things really struck me: the absorbency and the fact that this thing actually breathes. Wow! I was convinced and the next thing I knew I was chauferred to the head office in Jalan Kelang Lama in Kuala Lumpur, where I saw and met Mr Deffrick Se To, Senior Manager of Operations, Winalite Malaysia. He proceeded to tell me that the Australian market is “only beginning” and “there was a huge potential there especially among Muslim groups”.

It wasn’t difficult then for me to join. I bought some basic literature and three sets of car bumper stickers which when I collected my first order at the Service Centre, Blackburn Road in Mount Waverley, a suburb off Melbourne, Virginia, one of the Centre’s Directors noticed and commented that I had “passion” because this was the first bumper sticker of Winalite she had seen in Australia.

Later, I was to change my car number plates to “Anion” and I can only imagine her “shock” if she were to see it on my car.

Anyway, what is so special about indulging in a women’s private business? More on this on my next entry but for now, I will leave one special picture for all my downlines to see. It is a group photo of Mr Bruce Fang, the President of Winalite Southeast Asia and Oceania region who came by one evening to visit our weekly presentations. I was again, blown by Mr Fang’s presence because not only did he speak my language, which is Malay, he was adamant about speaking in that foreign language when I tried to speak in English.

Mr Fang, I later discovered, was not only non-Malay, nor Malaysian, he is actually Chinese from mainland China. And, to my great surprise, by profession, he is a neurosurgeon whose last practice was in Singapore.

Together in the photo is Mr Bruce Fang and my wife and Winalite Business Partner, Norhidayati at Melbourne’s Winalite Service Centre. Mr, or rather Dr Fang, is in the centre of the photo.

Now, how good can the emerging picture be from now on? More good and positive stories to come soon as I make my entries on my off days from work. The next entry would probably be how this business is actually meant for couples although singles through their network of friends can also profit tremendously. See ya!
