The Need for Cleansing, the Need for Isagenix

Trainer: 5 Star Golden Circle and Nutritionist Jim Rhoades

Listen in as 5 Star Golden Circle and Nutritionist Jim Rhoades shares details regarding our state of health, Isagenix®, and the need for cleansing.

>> Well good evening everyone and welcome to our Thursday night product training with Isagenix International. My name is Kjersti Coté, your host. A pleasure to be here with all of you tonight. I have a very, very exciting call in store for all of you. Of course, Mr. Jim Rhodes is with us tonight. We’re going to be talking about the fate of health, Isagenix, the need for Isagenix, you’re going to learn a substantial amount so I would encourage all of you to get out your pens and your piece of paper and get ready to take some copious notes. And another thing too I want to remind everybody that tonight’s call will be recorded and I’ll tell you where to find it at a later time. So without further ado I would love to introduce Jim to all of you. For those of you who are brand new to Isagenix, Jim Rhodes has been with Isagenix for nearly, boy, seven years and the company is about seven and a half years old. Jim’s been with the company for about seven years. And he has been able to accomplish quite a bit. He is a five star golden circle, he’s an executive in Isagenix, he has had the opportunity to serve on our field advisory board in the past, he has received some amazing awards just recognizing him for his passion, his outstanding example, and leadership. The award that he received in 2007 was titled the spirit of Isagenix.

The award that he received in 2008 was the outstanding product contribution award, which, wow that’s an amazing award, and prior to Isagenix, his story is amazing because he was a president and CEO of a different nutritional company for about ten years. And he resigned from that to be able to come on board full time and join his beautiful wife Cathy to, you know, do Isagenix full time. He is a nutrition coach, he’s had some amazing things he’s been able to do in his life, number one speak at Harvard medical on the state of health in America today, and he’s an international presenter, he is a personal development trainer, and by the way he also teaches at George Wythe College.

He lives in St. George, Utah with his wife, Cathy, they have eight fully-grown children, fourteen grandchildren, and I think their family keeps expanding every year, which is with those grandkids I should say. So that’s a pretty neat thing. So with that being said, good evening, Jim and welcome to the call. All right everybody Jim Rhodes is on his way. You know what? Bless his heart I have to tell everybody what Jim’s been up to today. Jim is someone that really, really gives service. I mean not only is he building this amazing dynasty in Isagenix, he helps to train on these calls, he travels all over the place to help put on meetings all over North America, and he’s willing to give of his time so easily. And what he’s been up to today is, he has a daughter who lives in Idaho, the state of Idaho, and a nasty storm came through, demolished their roof and so, you know obviously the home insurance covered the expenses of getting the materials to fix the roof, but not the labor. And so here Jim gathered up some of his sons, drove up to Idaho, and that’s what they’ve been doing is repairing their daughter’s roof. So I just think that it really speaks loudly on the kind of man this guy is. Like I said, he’s very caring, very thoughtful, very generous with his time. So we’re very grateful obviously to have him a part of our Isagenix family. So Jim, are you with us yet?

>> I surely am. Thank you Kjersti

>> I explained to everybody what you’ve been up to and it’s a good deed for sure. Well of course, I’ve already introduced you, everybody knows who you are. Let’s get right into it. Obviously tonight’s call is the need for cleansing, the need for Isagenix, and as you and I spoke a little earlier on, you know, we talked about quite a few things and before we really get into Isagenix, I’d really like for us to just spend a little bit of time talking about the state of health. What we’re dealing with living in this day and age on a daily basis.

>> Sure.

>> So let’s start off by talking about our food in general. What’s going on here? Give us some statistics of what you’re seeing.

>> Sure. Well since our body is made from the nutrients we eat, if the nutrients are missing in our foods and there’s too many wrong chemicals, it can backfire on us and suddenly we will have a series of health related problems, toxicity is one of them. And what’s happening is that we’re finding, well if I just go through the top three leading degenerative diseases just real quick. The number one leading cause of death in the United States, one out of every two people will die of a cardiovascular disease. Every other person. That’s crazy.

Number two, is cancer. Cancer has increased from the 1950’s from one out of twelve of us contracting cancer sometime in our life, to one out of two point four of us. Almost one out of every two also. And then the third leading disease now is diabetes. In the 1950, it wasn’t in the top 20, now it’s the third leading cause of death in the United States. What we’re finding, and these are statistics that you can do Google searches on and look up yourself, but it’s amazing, they’re discovering for the first time that the blood going through the placenta can carry many of these toxins and many of these chemicals that do not belong into the new fetus. And obviously, that’s going to create all kinds of potential hazards for a newborn. Second, they’ve discovered even if you can imagine this rocket fuel in our water, but that’s not as astounding as finding it in the breast milk of mothers. And that just tells us that obviously our water has become contaminated. Our air is contaminated. Our foods obviously part of the food chain now is pesticides, herbicides and other kinds of suicides. Unfortunately that also has a lot to do with the ecosystem in the soil and what is missing in our foods. Post World War II they had to get rid of DDT because they saw the devastating effect of DDT.

And the farmers clamored for something to protect their produce. To the rescue came of course the chemists by saying oh we’ve got something wonderful, it comes from a petroleum based product and you can spray it on your foods, it will kill every living organism so that it will protect your fruits and your vegetables. And it’s called pesticide, okay? It worked great, so the farmer continues to use it up through right now. The problem is the pesticide also gets on our topsoil and as it does it kills with equal vigor under the soil as well as above. And basically, what we have done to ourselves is sterilize our top soil. Now it wouldn’t be so bad other than we need those microorganisms. We need those bacterias that live there because they used to convert the inorganic materials such as rock minerals into organic form. In other words, they converted a rock mineral such as iron into a water-soluble mineral so that the plant could uptake it.

Obviously, the plant wants the iron and obviously, we need it. Unfortunately, and here’s the real drawback, when you kill the microorganisms and sterilize your top soil, all of those rock minerals remain rocks. And how long does it take a rock to dissolve in water so it can be water-soluble and come up in the plant? A lot longer than we’ll live. As a consequence interestingly back in 1997, UCLA conducted a study looking at spinach. They discovered because they had samples of how much iron one bowl of spinach had from 1953, they compared it to how much iron spinach had in 1997. They determined it would take forty-three bowls of spinach in 1997 to equal the same amount of iron as it had in 1953. That’s how badly we have depleted our soil of these all-important organic minerals.

Now if you look at our water, unfortunately all of the things that we put on the earth eventually seep into our water. And you have a double problem here. The problem is this, the EPA has studied and has good validation on this that it can accept so many parts per million of lead before it becomes deadly. So they set that number and say, as long as it’s below this number, the lead content in your water that you’re going to drink is not lethal. They also set the same rating on mercury, you can handle up to so many parts per million of mercury. And they’ve tested this obviously on animals and the animals do not get sick or die when there’s always lower than this certain, let’s call it one part per million or ten parts per million, but what they haven’t tested is what happens when there is lead and mercury in the same water and they combine? Suddenly it’s lethal. Even though the lead is below the designated amount, the mercury is below the designated amount, so they pass it as drinkable, but when you combine the two and that’s what they haven’t run the studies on, it becomes lethal. And that’s what’s happening even to our water supply. Now for those of us who happen to live near a city, how often do you have these things called inversions and suddenly the air is not breathable. They tell you to stay indoors.

Don’t burn, non-burn days. On and on and on. We’re pulling in all of these chemicals into our body. Now our body is adapted to handle a certain amount of these toxic things. But once it surpasses what it can handle, it now poses a real threat to our health. And we are reaping that problem as we speak. Unfortunately, our air has become polluted. Our water is definitely in trouble, the foods we eat, even if they are grown well, often are treated and irradiated and cooked with high temperatures and packaged and then they add things to them interestingly, preservatives, a lot of preservatives, a lot of artificial flavors and colors and emulsifiers. All of these chemicals will not break down well in the body. The body can only handle so many and try to shed them. After awhile those chemicals start to pollute our very bodies, our systems get backed up. The large filters of the body, particularly which would be the colon and the liver and the kidneys start to get clogged up or plaqued up. And then we’re in trouble with our digestive system. Now that’s part of the equation of what we’re looking at today with today’s food and the way they are commercially grown and prepared.

>> Well you know Jim it’s amazing to me because you know, here you’re touching on our air, our food, our water, without all of those, we would not be able to live. But you talked about what’s being found in breast milk, quart blood, that the mercury and lead poisoning, you know happening at the same time the three main causes of death. I mean these things are, I think, I think it’s important and you know, it’s important to know these statistics and this information because it just allows us to make healthier decisions in the long run and really do the right thing for our body. Jim, you and I, when we were talking earlier, you know, we were talking about the speed at which your body absorbs and circulates whatever you put on it or in it. Do you want to spend a few minutes talking about this?

>> Oh my goodness, yes. That’s the majesty of the body. This creation we live in, this wonderful body of ours is just the most incredible thing that of course, that the Creator could’ve ever made. And it’s ability, think about this, number one Kjersti; you have over sixty thousand miles worth of blood vessels. Sixty thousand miles is enough to wrap around the earth two and one half times. And that’s all inside of your body. Sixty thousand miles worth of delivery system that carry out all the nutrients and any of the pollutants. And you have this incredible pump, this awesome thing of course we call the heart. And it takes only a few heartbeats and suddenly whatever is in the blood stream is in sixty thousand miles worth of those vessels being carried to over one hundred trillion cells. And those cells are looking eagerly for the good things such as the vitamins, the minerals, the enzymes the electrolytes, the amino acids, the fatty acids, the water, the oxygen. All of those building blocks. What it’s not looking for is the lead, the mercury, the pesticides, the herbicides, the preservatives, and all of the things that plug it up and clog it up. So what we need, and I think this is, this is the miracle to have someone like your father John Anderson, the formulator of the Isagenix products, understand the body well enough and also understand the plaque kingdom well enough to put together a product that would assist the body in throwing off and getting rid of harmful substances that can build up in our filters and can build up actually even in our cells. And he has built, in my opinion, the first ever and the foremost best full body cleanse. And that’s not to say it’s a medicine or that it’s going to cure somebody or it’s going to heal somebody, but think about it for just a minute. How much longer will your car run as long as you keep changing the oil in the oil filter? What if you let your car try to run for fifty thousand miles without ever changing the oil? That oil would be so polluted that the engine would break apart. You would have so many pieces of metal and filings and debris inside that engine, it never would reach fifty thousand miles. The same thing holds true with the environment of our body even more so. If you can clean the environment of the body, the place where you live, I believe with all my heart you would extend your life by not just a couple of months or years, but by decades. UCLA another quick one back in nineteen I think ninety four, they built what was called the biosphere and conducted this incredible experiment at a huge cost, they built a small little city, almost a bubble you could call it, where they had six people live inside, where they had perfect air, perfect water, all their food was organically grown inside on soil that had never seen any kind of chemicals on it, they got plenty of rest and plenty of exercise. These six people lived for four years inside this perfect environment of air, water, food and exercise, and rest.

At the end of the four years when they came out they biopsied all of the parts of their body. I mean they literally took samples of heart, of liver, of kidneys, of ear tissue, of hair, everything to look and see how fast they were aging. They determined and if you look this up, do a Google search, its fun, you can see the actual building that they constructed and how they lived in there, read all the comments. But here’s the bottom line, they determined that if these six people continued living in this same environment of pure air, pure water, pure food, plenty of rest, plenty of exercise, that each of them would surpass their one hundred and sixtieth birthday.

And we’re dying on average at seventy-five. Women at seventy, men at seventy-four. What’s going on here? Well it’s our environment and also our eating. Everything you eat turns into you. My incredible mentors, biochemists, just sat down and diagramed how the food that you put inside your mouth starts to convert into the various nutrients that the body has to have to build you, to build those cells. You’re building over a billion new cells per minute on average, a billion new cells per minute. Every minute you’re alive you’re building a billion new cells. That averages out over a seven-year period; you have rebuilt all of your entire body one hundred trillion cells have been completely replaced in your body and then some. That means just over a seven year period if somebody was in my opinion, not so healthy and their cells were not doing well, they could hang in there, give their body what it needed for the seven years, clear out the stuff that was creating the problem in the first place, the garbage that doesn’t belong there, what a possibility of enhanced health and well being. And again, back to what your father did. When John built this program it was with three things in mind in my opinion, number one, cleanse the body of impurities, help it get rid of the garbage. Number two; give the body a hundred percent of its building blocks, everything it needed so it wasn’t missing a lot of nutrients like those organic minerals.

That is his signature to every one of the products that Isagenix makes. His knowledge of the body’s need for these minerals and these minerals are not just sort of important, they’re life giving. They act as a catalyst for everything. You cannot live without a certain amount of calcium, it balances the pH even of your blood, you’ve got to have these vitamins, you’ve got to have the minerals and most of the foods we eat, we get plenty of vitamins, we get our amino acids and our fatty acids, but what’s missing in the majority of all foods? And this is according to so many studies you can look them up right, left, and in between, all the way back into the thirties and forties, they had already determined this. Our foods are deplete of these important organic minerals. And without them, the body doesn’t build strong cells. Your immune system for instance can launch up to twenty trillion, twenty trillion, that’s with a t, immune soldiers or immune cells to protect you. Protect you from things like colds, and flu’s. Have we heard of any flu’s coming across the borders lately? How would you like to have an immune system so strong, that the second it hit, it was destroyed because your immune system launches, because as the building blocks to build soldiers as fast as you need them. It also protects you from things that are even more catastrophic than flu’s right now and that would be cancer. When cancer is now hitting one out of every two, and it’s your immune system that’s going to protect you from that, wouldn’t it be wise to have the healthiest, strongest immune system known to man? Wouldn’t it be the smartest thing in the world if your child, age two, was given all the building blocks to build that immune system in the first place? I think that’s what John had in mind when he built this product that has these three things. One, the ability to cleanse the body of impurities, two, to flood the body with all ninety nutrients. Every one of the building blocks the body needs, build strong immune systems, strong digestive systems, strong reproductive systems, strong skeletal systems, strong central nervous systems. Now when I said all one hundred trillion of your cells in your body replace themselves, there is an exception to that. I used to make this joke, I said women, if you’re married to a skunk just hold on to him for seven years, you’ve got a brand new man. The problem is, the brain cells don’t change and he’s still thinking the darn same thoughts. Oh well, but with exception of brain cells and nerve cells, everything is changed out literally every seven years and many of those cells are changed out dozens and dozens of times literally.

So when John put this product together with this in mind, we’ll give a hundred percent of the building blocks that every one of those new cells needs, obviously they can be healthy and vibrant just like we need them to be which is going to provide us with a strong healthy body and add years to our life. Why are we falling over at seventy-five when the capacity, UCLA has proven, is over a hundred and sixty? Suddenly if we start cleaning the environment, flooding the body with the nutrients, I think we can start reaching those higher numbers. And it’s not the length of life that I’m as interested in, as the quality of life. To me the quality means everything. I want to, on my dying day, I want to be on the carpet with four of my grandkids wrestling with me. When I suddenly say it’s a good day to die and close my eyes and go at age ninety-seven, I’ve already decided that. But maybe it’ll be longer. I think Isagenix gives me that opportunity because the building blocks are there. The smart thing is, is if you don’t miss a day without your protein shake, you don’t miss a day without your ionic supreme, women you don’t miss a day without the isocalcium, you shouldn’t miss a day without the super omegas and the digestive enzymes and the fiberpro. My goodness what that does to our digestive systems.

I got to talk to a gastroenterologist who’s working with children. This blew me away. He says there is an epidemic of nine and ten and eleven year old children with fatty livers, fatty liver syndrome, hepatitis. Holy heck it’s all their eating habits. When she starts changing up their eating habits and starts putting in the right kind of nutrients, she says you turn these things around, I’m sitting here looking at the label of your product as she’s talking to me, she says this has got the prebiotic, it’s got the probiotic, someone’s a genius. I’ve done this for my whole life for this major hospital and all of these fellowships that they’ve paid for and all of the work that I’ve done, somebody else has already built the kind of food that would make all the difference in the world for these people. And I’m going welcome to the Isagenix discovery channel. It is that, it is that incredible. It is that good for us from a nutritional standpoint, it’s the finest super food on the earth that I’ve discovered, not that there aren’t other good things and we’d better be selecting as best we can from the grocery store, the best foods we can choose. Because again, they just turn into you. And as you said they get delivered there so rapidly it’s scary. They’re there within hours, everything’s delivered out, your liver interesting enough, performs over a hundred different functions a day for you. And one of its major roles is to act as the UPS or FedEx of every bite of food you eat. So as you eat the food and digest it and it’s pulled interiorly and it reaches the liver, the liver now decides what to do with it, where to send it. How to package it, address it, what needs it most. And one of the biggest single things that’s in our cleanse for life juice and in the protein shake, are the very nutrients that help cleanse the liver and feed it what it needs to be as strong and healthy as it possibly can.

And when I got to talk with this awesome doctor, just literally yesterday, she said, this is going to make all the difference in the world, especially for the people with digestive disorders. And I just smiled and I said, boy did you hit the nail on the head with that one. That’s what I see happening right, left, and in between, was people just in tears saying wow, tell me how does it do what it does? And I’m saying well it doesn’t cure anything, it doesn’t heal anything, it’s not a medicine. What it’s doing is bringing the very nutrition that part of your body needs to generate itself as strong and healthy as it can and at the same time clear it of the garbage that’s probably plaqued up on it that it doesn’t need so it can do its work better. Anyway I get a little excited about this.

[ Laughs ] Fascinating, absolute fascinating information. I mean you know, going from what we were speaking on earlier, going into the new body every seven years and of course the response of the body when good nutrition is introduced, the importance of cleansing, the amazing minerals that are in our products, and that the body requires ninety essential nutrients on a daily basis. Do you want to break down those ninety nutrients for our listeners tonight?

>> Sure, sure. This is the research that’s fun that I got mentored by my biochemist. And what an awesome mentor this fellow was to really help me appreciate and start to really understand how the body works. Basically the body can manufacture a good percentage of what it needs to run on. But there are ninety set minerals, nutrients, excuse me, that the body cannot manufacture on its own or produce. And that’s why they’re called essential. We know them as essential amino acids. Now amino acids are the base building blocks for every cell of the body. These amino acids come from our proteins. The proteins break down by use of enzymes to the individual building blocks and the enzymes carry it in. That’s the other genius part of what John did with these foods. He put the delivery system of enzymes all with this food so it will get delivered. The second thing you need are essential fatty acids. You’ll notice those words, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, essential minerals, and essential vitamins. Interesting fact, the vitamins, the fatty acids, and the amino acids comprise thirty of the ninety. The other sixty are comprised of those all-important minerals.

Now John didn’t just put the sixty in, his source of minerals from the plant that he was able to remove the minerals from through a cold-water extraction actually is over seventy-two. And those important trace minerals are in almost every product that we eat every one of the foods we eat that John has helped produce. They’re definitely in the protein shakes, even the IsoPro. They’re in the cleanse for life juice, they’re in the ionic supreme, they’re in the, I want more energy, they’re in the de-lites, they’re in the men’s and women’s essentials, they’re in basically every single product that John produces is putting these minerals in and recently he’s even gone one step further. He’s gone to the ionic mineral and even more from a source of live alfalfa. So the brand new minerals added and more of them, all the better. And why does the alfalfa herb or plant have minerals in it that are organic when the other plants don’t? People ask me that all the time. Well if you can’t find plants that have minerals in it, how come alfalfa does? And it’s pretty simple. The alfalfa plant is capable of pushing its root system anywhere from forty to sixty feet deep into the soil. So it goes far below just the top soil which most plants try to get their nutrients from that we have depleted through our pesticides and herbicides that we have killed the ecosystem in. So alfalfa plant is capable of picking up minerals in deeper soil. So suddenly the best just got better as John adds these all-important ionic minerals from alfalfa to so many of the existing products. It’s just that much more potent.

>> Absolutely fascinating. I love this kind of information and you know, I know that you touched in Isagenix being high quality. But let’s just kind of spend a few minutes here and talk about Isagenix versus, you know, all other products out there. Because I know that the key to finding factor is obviously quality, our minerals and our whey protein that’s in the shakes. Maybe you can kind of expound upon those things a little bit if you choose. But what’s some of the other things that really, really sets Isagenix apart from anything else because I know that people walk in, there are people that are on the pursuit for health and wellness and they go into, you know, maybe some retail stores or such as GNC or health and wellness stores, looking for the fountain of youth kind of a thing, looking for cleansing products. There’s a lot of different products out there, why would someone choose Isagenix over anything else out there on the market?

>> Well Kjersti I’m going to embarrass you by simply telling you it’s because of your father.

[ Laughs ]

>> It is, it is. John Anderson had a dream. There aren’t any other John Andersons that I’ve ever met and I’ve met some awesome, awesome biochemists. I’ve met some incredible master formulators. I’m serious, I’ve worked with them for years. These guys are incredible and master herbalists. But what your father knew as a master engineer of the body, was to, let’s just take the ionic supreme for just a moment because there are so many good companies out there that have juices, that have great antioxidant qualities and two or three really good active nutrients in there that do pep the body up and give it a little more energy. We call them energy drinks. But when you look at ionic supreme with over two hundred active ingredients from some of the finest and rarest plants on the earth, and these are called superior plants. And the reason they get that name is they have more nutrient dense nutrients than any other plants. In other words a little teeny bit has the equivalent of a huge amount of another kind of plant. So it only takes literally a few drops to make a huge difference. And John’s background and knowledge having traveled the world, gone up to Himalayas and all over the rest of the world and gathering information on plants and what their nutrients were, and how to combine them, that’s the rest of the story. You can actually combine certain plants and they’d fight each other. If you do not know that, your product is junk. When you combine herbs you’ve got to know which herbs can combine with others to create synergy and increase its capability. Two things, one, I don’t believe your father needed money. When he came out of retirement it wasn’t to earn another paycheck.

I believe when he retired he had sufficient money for the rest of his natural life and then some. But truth be known, he had knowledge that could benefit a two year old, or a hundred and two year old, and that was the build of food. Not just another bottle of vitamins, and not just another mineral drink. But to literally build a food that could affect the human body in a very positive way. And here’s the three things that he accomplished. Number one, is it safe? Yes its doctor recommended. Number two, is it cost effective? Absolutely. It’s a food that replaces other grocery foods. So your grocery money pays for it, and how does it taste? It tastes good enough that a two year old asks for seconds every time when it’s made right. So he has no compromised ingredients. How do we know this? Well he built products for how many years for how many of the largest companies in the world? Wasn’t it in excess of six hundred major companies?

And literally building that much product, what he learned. And what he knows. There’s nobody else I know on the earth that knows that. And he isn’t formulating for those other companies, now he’s formulating for himself. For his own health, for his children and his grandchildren, for you and for me and the rest of the world. And he isn’t saying I need to get wealthy and rich by doing this. He’s saying let’s bless the world. Then he brings on Jim and Cathy Coover [assumed spelling] who also have sufficient money, they’re retired, they don’t need more, and says now match a marketing plan that’s equal to this product. Build me a marketing plan where a person last one in has as fair a chance as the first one in. Where the person who works hardest, can surpass the person at the top. And that’s happening all the time. This is one of the most fair marketing plans ever. But it’s because the product works, the product is affordable, and there is no compromise in the quality. With John’s background of knowing where plants and herbs are produced, he knows where to go to get the highest quality at the best prices. Then he ties up these good quality products and has exclusive rights to them like he does on the all-important organic whey protein. That whey protein was a genius move for us to get because whey protein in the United States is usually a class two, at best class three, which is just one-step above puppy chow. Whey protein is not a desired protein here and yet the whey protein coming out of New Zealand and Australia, beats anything in the United States or anywhere else in the world. It has the perfect amino acid profile, which is, it means it has every one of the essential amino acids, those building blocks, as well as an array of all of the non-essentials. It’s awesome, it’s easy for the body to break it down and to pull it in and to utilize it.

That’s exactly what we need with people with compromised health. Though suddenly we’ve got a super food that all you have to do is put it in the body, the body knows what to do with it, and suddenly you see wonderful things happen. Now add two more elements real quickly. One, this nation is in trouble with obesity. Obesity has become the number one reversible cause of death in the United States. The number one reversible cause of death. Formerly it was tobacco, now it is obesity. An excess of thirty five percent of the nation, they estimate, is obese. Over sixty five to seventy percent of the nation is overweight headed for obesity. So what does John do when he makes the product, he puts a hundred percent of the nutrient in and simply leaves the calories low enough that it feeds the body and allows the body to use the stored calories in the fat cells. And we see these wonderful miracles of people losing weight right, left, and in between. And it’s a permanent weight if they make it a lifestyle. Stay on the product of at least the maintenance for the rest of their life, to maintain the good health as well as the right waist size.

>> Very impressive. I know it’s genius. And now Jim I know you know this little, this is just a little fun fact, my dad formulated the original nine day cleanse, you know, which we still have nine day cleansing.

>> They do.

>> Yeah, I mean people really prefer the thirty days, but the nine day cleansing system, he formulated in forty-eight hours. Can you imagine? It’s just like doot, de, doo, put it all together, taste, okay, put it all together, taste it again, you know, and really coming up with four nine day cleansing systems. You know, one for himself, one for his wife Cher, and then of course two for Jim and Cathy Coover and they’re the very, very first guinea pigs. And the rest is history. I mean I just, it is brilliance, I really do feel that with all of my dad’s talents and gifts and knowledge that he has been truly inspired, divinely inspired, to be able to , you know, have these gifts, have these talents and exercise them and really being prompted to do the right things. Because you know, I mean, Isagenix is definitely, you know the, the, the height of all of his, all of his products and career. I mean these products are absolutely amazing.

He was, you know, able to have no, well how should I put this? When he was working with other companies and companies would come to him and say you know, John Anderson, what kind of a product can you create that’s going to deliver this, this, and this kind of a result in the body. You know we only want to spend this amount of money. You know and of course through it all my dad really towards the latter part of his careers, prior to retiring the first time, really worked with a lot of exclusive companies. Companies that did care about what was going in that product. That did want to invest in the products and really output a really good product on the market. But for him to have complete control over a product line and just really make it his baby, I think that’s where all of these little hidden features really are and lie in the shakes, in the cleanse for life, in the ionic supreme, the essentials for men, the essentials for women, all for these different products that we have in our product line, and making them top notch nutritionals.

>> Well there’s, there is nothing more like it out there. You cannot find anything of this quality in a health food store. You would spend, I think we went out and tried to price the first nine-day program which back then was a hundred and thirty dollars. And we ended up by the time we put all of the cleansing herbs together and all of the herbal mixtures that were in his protein and everything else, we ended up close to 1,000 to build a hundred and thirty dollar program just by individual herbs to try to do the same thing some way like he had done. And you know, Kjersti, you say he did it in forty-eight hours. He did it in thirty years and forty eight hours. Everything that he had done throughout his life in this area of this life which was in excess of thirty years now, prepared him for exactly when he said I will be back and forty eight hours later he comes back. Because of his vast knowledge and understanding of the body as what I call the best human engineer on the planet and his knowledge of the plants and the herbs and how you combine them and what they do when you do, and exactly what you just said, the absolute divine inspiration I believe that he got as he was directed to put together a food that would bless anyone who put it in their body. And we witness this daily, weekly, every day myself, my family and everyone I love is blessed by these good nutrients because they do have strong immune systems, they do have strong digestive systems, their whole body, their attitude, mental clarity, all of that has changed up. Here I am sixty-one years old, I’m up on a two-story roof, belayed up and down carrying shingles for ten hours straight and all of these young sons and son in laws of mine are looking at me, you’re still here dad how are you doing this? Ionic supreme but it is running low.

[ Laughs]

>> Aw that’s very cool. Yeah, yeah. Wow, well so much information and so, so valuable for people to really, really, you know, see what’s going on and be able to take the information, the knowledge and you know, empower others with it and really show them a healthy lifestyle with Isagenix because, you know, heavens knows we needed these products. And you know I know I have heard you say this in the past. But before it gets better it’s going to get worse, and, as far as the state of health that we, that we, you know, that surrounds us each and every day. And for each one of you that are listening in on the line, to have these products in your hands and to have the knowledge of them, to be able to go out and to share for those people that have possibly been praying for an answer, and to help those people make a difference in their lives with their health and their well being and of course their financial aspect, their financial health of their lives. I mean we’re going through, let’s not forget, a recession where nearly, oh my goodness, I believe it was, oh my goodness, I’m not sure what the statistics are, almost seven million people that have lost their jobs in the last sixteen months.

I mean that is an insane number. The unemployed that lost their jobs just last month alone, it was over five hundred thousand, I know that just last month in June alone. So it’s kind of like where are all these people going? What are they going to do? And then people that really have a tough time getting placement in the job place anyhow, it’s a very tough thing finding a minimum wage paying job and if you find that it’s just like you’re going to have to work three of them in order to keep above, your head above water to pay your mortgage, to pay the car payments, to pay whatever it is that your family needs. So again, to show the business model and the products are a no brainer, and obviously we have a need. And Jim, you did such a beautiful job painting that picture tonight. So I would just encourage all of you to just dig your heels in, get going and show people what you have. Be proud of what you’re involved in. I just, I love the fact that this is a company of integrity, it was founded for the right reasons as Jim was talking about earlier, and we’re here to stay. And another thing that, Jim I’d like to make mention, and you know please feel free to add anything that you, your any thoughts that you might have on this, but you know, there’s, there’s, you know, there’s lots of companies out in this exact industry that we’re in, the direct sales industry or the network marketing industry. And there’s new startup companies that happen all the time. It’s the flavor of the month, it’s like the company of the month. So, you know, be aware of what’s going on out there and know that we are here to support you, we love seeing you guys all gain the success, gain the knowledge that you need to become successful and to help to feed your teams and to help them do the same.

>> Absolutely.

>> And Jim is there anything that you want to add on that because, you know, I know that there’s probably people on the line

>> Sure.

>> Are, you know, to see that there’s new companies sprouting up.

>> Sure it’s good to know especially when you have a winner. Take a look at what happened just last year. The vast majority and I say vast majority, ninety plus percent of the companies in the network-marketing field went black. What do I mean by that? They lost as many customers as they brought on. They lost as many distributors as they brought on. They went flat and a whole bunch of them went backwards last year. Because people can give up an energy drink when push comes to shove. Isagenix posted a thirty percent increase, thirty percent during a recession. This year I understand we’re doing better than that. Isagenix is moving and building and moving forward. Now when you’re in this particular industry and especially when you are with a wonderful company like this you’re going to be contacted. Kjersti, I get a couple of three calls per week from other friends and or people in the industry introducing me to the latest, greatest, newest and won’t I take a look for them and evaluate for them and then possibly join them. And some of them have even sweetened the pie, and would like to offer me some good incentives to. And I have a stock answer. I said I don’t believe I want to trade my birthright for a little pot of gold. You’re offering me something good but I’m with the company I will be with and my kids and my grandkids will be with. I’m home. Can you say that about the company you’re checking out?

Five, seven years from now are you going to still be with that same company? And none of them can say yes. The mortality rate for those of you who don’t know what that means, the death rates of new startup companies is ninety-eight percent. Never make it to their fifth year. Ninety-eight percent do not make it to their fifth year. Isagenix is on its seventh, going strong to its eighth. The timing couldn’t be better for people to have joined us and to get involved in the networking side because the financial rewards. When I look at the Patty Sipeda’s [assumed spelling], at the Jen Smith’s, here’s Jen Smith, in twenty four months makes six star golden circle. Okay? For those of you who are new, that simply means she’s making a great, great income and already has. I’ve reached five star golden circle and I’ve been involved for seven years and I know more about nutrition than she does. She simply went to work and saw more people. And she did it in twenty-four months. The Sipeda’s did it in, I believe in eleven months, made five star golden circle.

It took me four years. And these guys are newer. Now here’s two things that people need to consider. The tools that Jim and Cathy Coover and the whole Isagenix family and team are producing are the finest in the industry. There is no match to this. They’ve spent millions of dollars on our website, on your personal website, on the tools that you have to offer. And they’re not trying to make money on these tools. Some of these other companies charge you an arm and a leg for any service, and any CD or DVD. This company is basically handing them to us at cost. They’re not trying to enrich themselves, they’re trying to make it possible for each of us to enrich ourselves and they have done such a magnificent job. There is such a piece of knowing when you’ve introduced somebody to Isagenix, you’ve done them the biggest favor in the industry because this company is setting precedence over all other companies of doing it right.

>> Wow, well said Jim. I just love you. I just got goose bumps because it’s so true. It is so true. And I just again, I want to thank you for being on tonight, for giving us all of the knowledge, for feeding us, you know, all of this amazing information that really just brings it home, that we are, we are home. We are at the right place at the right time with amazing tools to help our health, to help our wealth, and the sky is the limit. So thank you again Jim for being with us tonight. I can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks.

>> Thank you Kjersti and thank you everyone for joining us. Make sure you go out and share what you’ve learned. If it’s touched your heart, everyone else deserves to know it too. Thank you for inviting me and sorry for the scare of not being on time.

[ Laughs ]

>> It’s okay, hey you were being of service. I think that’s a wonderful thing. And we just want to thank everybody for being with us listening in tonight and I do want to remind everybody, this is pretty powerful stuff.

So the Isagenix podcast dot com website. Now on the Isagenix podcast dot come website, you will be able to retrieve the transcript to this call in about five to seven days. Is that not cool?

>> Wow.

We’ll meet everyone back here Saturday morning with David Wood. He’s going to nourish you in the personal development area. That call starts at nine AM, same number, same pin.
