What Would You Do If……..? Imagine….. What would you do if you were healthy, yet told by medical experts that you carried a BRCA1 gene, which increases your chance of breast cancer by 87%? Note the words: “increases a chance of breast cancer” NOT that you have signs of it currently. Would you panic, run to your Doc and ask for breast cancer screening tests? Tests which happen to be patented by only one company costing $3,000 – $4,000 each. And what about the horrible costs for the invasive surgical procedures? So you become worried, depressed and frightened at the thought of medical costs, insurance, your friends, family, job……. Or would you act like celebrity Angelina Jolie? She recently announced (ref1) that she had both breasts surgically removed (double mastectomy) and reconstructed.

We are extending the Win Your Order Back promotion
Last December we announced two promotions to thank our loyal customers from all over the world for their incredible support. The first promotion featured a Grand Prize of free return flights for two to Christchurch, New Zealand from any part of the world to participate in the Global Headquarters opening ceremony plus a free accommodation in Christchurch for a week. I am delighted to tell you that we had a pleasure of having Bill and Eithna from Longford, Ireland – the winners of this prize – as our esteemed guests at our opening ceremony on 19th of April. I was also able to enjoy their company for dinner during the week they were with us. Bill had a few words to say which were recorded on video which is on a link on an adjoining blog post following up the post I did on the opening recently. Here you can see Bill and Eithna during a tour of our new facility, wearing protective gowns and hairnets that everyone needs to wear to help us ensure product purity and quality. You may recollect that when we ran the promotion for the all expenses trip to New Zealand we also ran a series of monthly prize draws with two winners each month. How it worked was that every time you placed an order while the promotion is running you would get a chance to win the price of this order back. While every customer has a chance to win in these promotions, our Loyalty Program members doubled their chances as each purchase gave two chances of winning instead of one. This specific promotion expired on the last day of April – but because we have had such a lot of great positive comments from our customers, we’ve decided to extend this promotion!
Video of our Opening Ceremony
I thought that our readers may like to see a short video of our opening of our new Global Headquarters in Christchurch, New Zealand. So, here it is… Once again my deepest thanks to all of our Xtend-Life family which includes all our staff, our many loyal customers and friends all of whom helped in some way to make this become a reality.
Xtend-Life Opens It’s New Global Facilities…
On the 22nd February 2011 as many of our customers know we had a major earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand where our facilities are based. Our factory suffered significant damage but fortunately after some repairs we were able to resume operations. However, extra strengthening and other structural repairs were needed to ensure the building remained safe in the long term for our staff working in it. This remedial work was only temporary as it was not viable to do a total repair. This triggered off a process for looking for suitable land on which to design a purpose built facility that could house not only our factory, warehouse and QA staff but also our Distribution, , , IT, Marketing, Customer Relations and general administration teams. At that time we were in four separate buildings and part of our longer term planning was to get all departments under one roof. That has now happened and in a word…we are all…delighted. It is a major turning point for us and indirectly all our loyal customers throughout the world. We can now compete with the best in the world when it comes to state of the art facilities and we are now in that very small percentage of manufacturers in this industry whose manufacturing facilities and processes can stand the most rigorous inspection.
What are the Early Signs of Arthritis?
The term “arthritis” simply means “joint inflammation.” Inflammation is the body’s natural reaction to injury or disease. If it persists for a prolonged period of time, inflammation can lead to tissue damage, as in arthritis. Your joints are places where two or more bones meet. Many bones form joints which are covered with a spongy, fibrous material called cartilage. This material cushions the bone, allows free movement of the joint, and stabilizes the joint. Also, there is a lining of the joint called the synovium, a thin film of tissue that produces slippery fluid to nourish the joint and ease movement. With arthritis, the structures of the joint are inflamed and diseased, causing pain and stiffness. Types of Arthritis There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis, but the two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis – This type of arthritis occurs when the cartilage of a joint wears away.
How to Choose An Eye Cream Or Eye Serum
With so many eye creams on the market today, it can be hard to tell the good from the bad. The skin around our eyes is 80% thinner than the skin on the rest of our face, so it is only natural that this is where the first signs of dryness and wrinkling will occur. Add to that the modern day burdens of late nights, pollution and time-stress, and it soon becomes apparent on our faces – particularly in the eye area. So what should we look for when considering an eye cream or eye serum? Firstly we need to be aware of our particular eye issues. • Are my eyes puffy? • Do I have bags under my eyes? • Are there fine lines? • Do I have discoloration or age spots
Can You Treat Age Spots Naturally with Extrapone Nutgrass?
It is often the tiny humble looking plants that turn out to be the most extraordinary, either nutritionally or medicinally. Extrapone Nutgrass is one of those plants. Native to China and India, this small grassy plant has been used for thousands of years as a natural skin whitener and as a natural way to lighten the skin. This is due to its melanin inhibiting qualities. However, Nutgrass doesn’t just lighten and remove freckles and age spots; it can also help even the skin tone, resulting in a more balanced complexion. Extrapone Nutgrass, also known as Cyperus Rotundus, contains several pharmacologically active ingredients, including β-pinene, cyperene, α-cyperone, β-cyperone and α-cyperol. It also contains alkaloids, flavonoids and triterpenes. It is not toxic. So what are age spots and how does Extrapone Nutgrass work? What we have come to know as ‘age spots’ are actually small areas of sun-damaged skin.
Diabet-Eze Becomes Systemic Care
Same health benefits, new supplement name. On 26th March 2013 one of our popular supplements, Diabet-Eze will be changing to a new name: Systemic Care. Why the need to change? Our supplements are made from our R&D and manufacturing base in Christchurch, New Zealand and are sold to customers right around the world. As you can imagine, every country has different rules and regulations around the way supplements can be sold and the names that can be used. In order to make the names more consistent and acceptable in all markets, we needed to make this change. Rest assured it’s only the names that is changing. We want to assure you that it’s only the name that is changing. The quality manufacturing process, the ingredients and most importantly the benefits for your health remain exactly the same.
National Nutrition Month
March may bring the first day of spring, but it also brings the realization that bikini season is right around the corner.

Lonely Elders in Your Life? Encourage Meditation
According to researchers at UCLA, the psychological effects of loneliness increases activity of inflammatory genes, which promotes a variety of conditions, such as an increased risk of heart disease, depression and in extreme cases, even premature death. However, new studies have shown that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can help quash the emotions that lead to loneliness.
