Many oncologists believe that you have cancer that you should not be taking nutritional supplements. This is a theoretical concern that these supplements may improve the antioxidant defense system of the cancer cells. Since their chemo and radiation therapy uses free radicals and oxidative stress in an attempt to destroy these cells, they do have a concern. However, when you look at the medical research that studied patients who took high-quality, complete and balanced nutritional supplements while receiving their chemo or radiation therapy, the patients did better than those who did not take supplements.
Dr. Kedar Prashad, a radiation therapist from the University of Colorado Medical School, actually reviewed over 90 of these studies. He found that those patients who took nutritional supplements while taking either their chemo or radiation therapy not only tolerated their treatments better, but also responded to them better. He concluded that antioxidant supplements improved the normal cells antioxidant defense system; however, they made the cancer cells more vulnerable to cell death. This is win-win situation for cancer patients. In fact, this has led some major cancer treatment centers like the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, OK and Chicago, IL to give all of their cancer patients antioxidant supplements while receiving their treatments.

- 62% of the reasons customers fail to continue to do business with someone is due to PERCEIVED INDIFFERENCE
- Even if they know, like and trust you, THEY WILL FORGET YOU IF YOU DON’T KEEP IN TOUCH!
- It costs a lot more to acquire new customers than it does to retain an existing one…
- What are YOU doing to be remembered by YOUR customers, prospects and referral partners?
- HERE’S a $4.24/YEAR SOLUTION…
- IDEA: Send four stay-in-touch (appreciation) cards a year (one every 3 months)
- COST PER CARD: 62 cents/card plus 44 cents/postage = $1.06
- TOTAL COST: $1.06 X 4 = $4.24 plus a little time to do the cards
- YOU CLICK “SEND”: – WE DO THE REST – your APPRECIATION PROGRAM is not on AUTOPILOT!
…so…
When you hear people say
“Business is so competitive”
or
“It’s so hard to keep customers”…
Tell them…
“I know someone who may have a SOLUTION for under $5/year PER CUSTOMER”
…and refer them to Ralph
