Default How my dad got past his diabetes

Hi all

My mom and I recently started a company to help people improve their
health, primarily through diet. My mom lost 77lbs and helped my dad
lose 61 lbs and get off his medications (by doctor's orders) for Type
II diabetes, high cholestoral, and high blood pressure (in 8 weeks!)
(he was taking them for 6 years before that).

When he started on them, we all thought there was no way he'd ever get
off them, until we found out about just how much of a difference diet
can make if you really learn about your food and understand why and
how to make new choices.

We want to share what we've learned with the world because we know
there are more people out there who were just as unaware of what they
didn't know as we were. The Lord has guided us to this information
and it's our honor to share it with you.

If you're interested in hearing more about what we've learned and what
you can use to control your diabetes the HEALTHIEST way, here's two
things you can do:

1) <b>Check out our website</b> at http://www.theseriouswayvegan.com
and sign up for
our mailing list so we can keep in touch. (We don't share your info,
period.)
2) <b>Listen to my mom's informational teleseminar via this FREE
promotional offer</b> at http://www.117selfimprovementgifts.com/ndex.php?id=550
(It's a limited time offer that helps us reach a greater audience
through joint-ventures with other smaller businesses). To skip all
the excess stuff and go straight to our teleseminar, here's what you
do:
a) scroll to the bottom of the page and create an account
b) scroll to the bottom of the next page and click the link "<u>I want
to Skip this offer. </u>I will pay more later if I want to attend the
program."
c) scroll to the bottom of the 3rd page and click the link <u>I want
to Skip this offer and go to Members' area</u>.
d) Under the Step 2 box, click the <u>Download Vol.I </u> link. On
one of the first 3 pages you should see our teleseminar entitled
<b>The Serious Way to Better Health</b>. The more people who click
through to it, the higher our product will move on the list. We're
currently #24 of some 400+ companies and the higher we go, the more
visible it will be to others. While there, you're welcome to help
yourself to any of the other free self-help products offered by other
companies!

Best of luck to you and God bless,

Wendy

I'm sorry you feel that way about it. It's not meant as spam, we
genuinely want to share our story with people and help them out.
We've already recieved emails from people who found this here and want
to know more. My dad's a real person, who truly took control of his
Type II diabetes in 8 weeks through a change in his diet.

Here's a news story to start you out...
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1837927.shtml

Yes, we are in a sense "advertising" our company, but it's genuine
effort to reach out to the people in our community and serve those who
are interested. My dad spent many years thinking that drugs were the
only solution and we know there's a lot of others who don't know about
the alternatives they have.

I hope you'll reconsider your assertion of this being spam.

Thanks

Wendy

So did I. So did many others who read here over the years.

How about doing the polite thing and reading the stories of
others here who have done the same thing - and have been
doing it a little longer - before jumping in with your
methods to save us all. You may even find a lot of similar
stories.

Then he, and you, may learn something useful to add to his
experience and you will discover what level to aim your
evangelism at.

Default (spam) How my dad got past his diabetes

Hi Wendy,

It is also unfortunate that your presentation was similar to many spamming posts.

You say "Yes, we are in a sense 'advertising' our company", which actually makes your post a form of spam.
This NG is *not* for advertising, however well-intentioned, it is for freely sharing recipes and experience.

If you want to try again, head your post "ADVERTISEMENT" - make it absolutely clear that nobody could think it other than an ad.
You'll still be largely ignored but at least you'll have been conspicuously honest!

Take care,
Phil.

My sincere appologies for having offended anyone here - it clearly
hasn't been interpreted in the spirit it was written, by many.

Best to all of you!

Wendy, did you miss the very genuine invitation to hang around and
exchange information? We could learn from each other...
