Fix Your Credit

Stop those stupid credit offers after all. Did you know they 'prescreen' you and send you offers only if they like what they see? Sounds obvious to me, but I think this is bigger than meets the eye.

Stop receiving "pre-screened" offers of credit in your mail for 5 years. I just did it.

Call: 1(888) 567-8688

Note: This may actually help your credit. This number should be displayed on all your credit offers.

Are You A Resident of Hometown America or ELS?

Hometown America has focused all its efforts on stealing the money of seniors. ELS has bought out most of Hometown's 'useless' properties. They have bigger plans and cash at hand. They are entangled with FedEx and Hometown, too. Sell your stock FAST. FYI, you will pay less taxes per year on a home and land you actually own than with one of these plasticized community properties. A $600 per month lot fee with a neighbor you can hear doing baby talk to their cat or hearing major diarrhea spurts is what ELS is all about. ELS is no China. A member of nafwa.org lives in one of your communities. Pictures available are SHOCKING!

COMCAST/XFINITY/VERIZON:

Paying for nothing. Cancel your cable. Get a Roku box and antenna from RadioShack. Just gotta wait for a cheaper internet provider though they are coming. Google get on that.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing
By Phyllis A. Balch, CNC

Prescription for Nutritional Healing is the most thorough drug-free guide to managing chronic conditions I have ever come across. It is an 800 page, A to Z, guide providing alternative and holistic approaches to almost every common disease. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially practicing dietitians, looking to expand their holistic knowledge. If you, like me, consistently counsel patients not responding to or interested in Western Medicine, then this is your answer.
