Internet Marketing Company joins Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Edwards and others in fight to help children with Autism.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (June 4, 2008) — Market America announced today that it is in the development and testing stages of a new line of nutraceutical products that will support the health of children with Autism and related neurodevelopmental challenges. Specialized laboratory testing often demonstrates sub-optimal levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids in people with Autism, which can be addressed with nutritional supplements. Despite these findings, Market America found in its research that parents and health professionals alike are frustrated with the limited nutritional products available in the marketplace.

Nutritional supplementation has also been addressed by parents of children with Autism, including actors Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. In a recent article McCarthy and Carrey authored on cnn.com, they state that one of the factors believed to have helped their son recover was vitamin supplementation, along with a gluten and caffeine free diet, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines.

Market America's announcement follows a conference held with prominent doctors who specialize in areas related to Autism at Market America's Greensboro headquarters. The doctors in attendance were Dr. Emi Hosada; an Internist in Washington State, Dr. Jim Sensenig; prominent naturopathic physician and founding president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, Dr. Susan Beltz; a neuroscientist and clinical scientist and founder of the Mont Black Academy in Hook Set, NH which specializes in educating and treating children with ADHD, Metabolic Disorders and Learning Disabilities, and Dr. Anne Hines; a family and Defeat Autism Now (DAN) physician in Winston-Salem, NC.

Market America is working in conjunction with these doctors to develop a regimen of nutraceutical products that will promote a high quality of life for those living with Autism. "It is simply mind-blowing and disheartening when you read the statistics about children afflicted with Autism," said Marty Weissman, executive vice president of Market America. "One out of every 150 children is diagnosed with Autism and 67 new children are diagnosed per day. As a company founded on science based products, it is time that we use our expertise to support the health of these children."

The conference was held to identify areas that are lacking in Autism therapy and how Market America could develop products that meet the special needs of these children. "The consensus among the panel of experts was that children with Autism need nutritional supplementation that is complete and easy to take," Said Dr. Julian Blumenfeld, Chief Medical Officer at Market America. "Current products on the market are not complete and do not enhance patient compliance. With our advanced Isotonix® delivery system we can offer nutritional supplementation designed for children that is easy to taste and tolerate. Enhancing compliance is critical for the efficacy of children's supplementation and will make the parents lives so much easier."

As a result of their effort, MA came out with 3 Isotonix® deliverable products, Might-A-Mins® Spectrum Isotonix® MultiVitamins, Might-A-Mins® Spectrum Isotonix® OPC-3, and Might-A-Mins® Spectrum Isotonix® Digestive Enzymes. Below is a testimonial I received on Lane, it was worth passing it on.

Lane is 5 years old. His issues before were the following: - very little eye contact, anti-social, reactive to loud noises, sensitive skin, multiple nervous tics such as grunting and squinting, fussy eater, angry, focused on spinning such as fans, tires, wheels on toy cars etc, could not remember where he sat in class every day since starting in school. He was diagnosed with Aspergers Disease, on the Autism Spectrum. Now he is very alert, good eye contact about 90 percent of the time, smiles and laughs, constantly carrying on an interactive conversation. Does not appear to have the skin sensitivity but is still timid around loud noises but at least does not break down and cry when it happens. Much better appetite. Having an issue with bed wetting but this is being addressed by having him go to the bathroom immediately before going to bed. He was a little too energetic so we backed off to half dosage on the Spectrum Mightamins because he had too much energy. One thing we did notice is that he was no longer tired when he came home from school/kindergarten since prior he would always want to take a nap as soon he got home. Lane’s therapist has also noticed a difference.

Our new Spectrum line targeted toward children that fall in the range of Autism, Asperperger's Syndrome, ADD-ADHD range has been developed by a group of health professionals (including DAN physicians) and our medical and scientific research team. I am passing on the following testimonial from Skip in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.  I was fortunate enough to speak with Skip earlier this morning regarding the results they have had with their grandson, Lane.  Skip is using all 3 of the Spectrum products; Spectrum Multi, Spectrum OPC, and Spectrum Digestive Enzymes with great success.  The combination Skip is using: (1) Multi, (1) D.E. and (2) OPC.  As the testimony indicates, the results have been monumental.  Skip mentioned that they had started Lane with (2) caps of Spectrum Multi, but reduced it to a single cap because of the high energy level Lane had.  A couple of comments in particular that Skip stressed... typical of kids with the Autism, Asperger's issues is how taxing the school environment is for them.  Very, very tired upon coming home from school; needing to sleep.  Lane no longer has a need to sleep when coming home from school.  As noted, a great difference in concentration, etc.  Overall, just an amazing transformation for Lane and his family.  I should note that I have also learned of other similar results from a pediatrician in Iowa.  Of course, this is very exciting.  Hope we can share this with many others and see the same types of results.  Many thanks to Skip and others who pass on this helpful information.

Cases of Autism have been on the rise in recent years and even though there has yet been full medical evidence as to what causes Autism, with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) finding that 1 out of every 150 children suffers from Autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined, there is a rising concern as to what can be done to recover from this horrendous condition. It is important for parents to learn as much as possible, knowledge is power. CNN’s Larry King discussed this condition with Jenny McCarthy and a panel of doctors. Jenny McCarthy was also interviewed by CNN on her son Evan’s recovery from Autism.

I have the contact information for Skip and Charlotte if anyone is interested in talking with them... they love to share information about what the Spectrum line is doing for their grandson and what we believe can do for all children. Simply contact me and I will be happy to make the introduction so you can speak to them directly. To contact Skip & Charlotte, email Bruce Swartz.

Findings are also becoming available on heavy metal toxicity as a contributor to the onset of Autism in children.

Never before in the history of business have small- and mid-size businesses ever faced such challenges and uncertainty as they find in today’s daunting economic instability. Cash flow is down, credit has tightened up, productivity is uncertain, putting an uneasy light on the future of many business owners. For the first time many of these owners wonder how they are going to compete with companies having excess capital to sustain them… how do they better market themselves while keeping their own costs down… how will they grow their business? What is that magic seed that will help them grow their business?

Up till now many business owners were complacent… never seriously thinking about, or looking into a marketing strategy… they were happy by simply “getting by”. Many business owners thought about having an online presence in order to increase their market share, but it was just too expensive and too daunting – they just didn’t know who to turn to for advice. And some business owners relied on friends, family members, or anyone dabbling with Web sites to provide assistance because that is all they could afford. But now the tide has turned and their simple little Web site could become an embarrassment, or even worse, a deterrent. Potential customers who themselves have been hit by the economy will in no way give that business having an unprofessional site a second look. Instead, that potential customer is heading off to their competitor’s professional looking Web site because it easy to navigate, convenient to purchase from, and has the look and feel of a professional business. Now more than ever it is no longer a question of being able to “get by”, it has turned into the question – “will I sink or swim!” And what about those businesses that don’t have a Web site… their future is even bleaker!

Our focus at B&C Enterprise and GrowOnlineNow.com is to “identify” businesses urgently needing to create or refocus their marketing strategy. Business owners are no longer simply interested in whether or not they can ride out current uncertain economic storms, but are focusing on ways to excel… their future is on the line. As a result, business owners are yearning for, and in search of, someone to come in and provide guidance, solutions, opportunities and who will not take them for all they have; a silent partner, if you will, that can and will help them to build or in rebuilding their reputation, marketing strategy, or both.

It all begins by having a rock-solid Online Business Solution System and we’re not talking about a simple Web site, rather a robust and powerful online presence that will impel them forward in the market place and at a fraction of the cost from traditional developers. But I am getting ahead of myself... forget the cost – what is the importance of a great price or deal if the solution is not the right solution? Having an inexpensive Web site means nothing if the solution has no value, does not meet or exceed the business needs or requirements? Nothing is more important to a business owner than identifying whether or not the solution is “the” right fit for them, and of “value” to their business. It must meet all the business owner’s needs… it must be of value!

So, how can B&C Enterprise and GrowOnlineNow.com help? By letting business owners take the lead for a change; for the very first time in history there is a company that has literally turned Web Development on its head by letting the business owner tell us what is important, and by letting them be in the driver seat. Even more important, business owners need to have the ability to actually kick the tires even before getting into that driver’s seat. Where has that ever happened before? The business owner, along with all the decision makers, are provided with full functional walk through of online “industry specific” solutions in order to evaluate the technology, identify their requirements, and even engage in defining the price structure for this multi-million dollar online business solution suite, specifically designed to give control to the business owner with the largest leveraging tool ever created for their specific needs. An asset or an investment, rather than an expense or a liability, having a value unparallel in the Web development industry.

There has never been a time in history of Web development where business owners have been allowed such power in controlling their own online presence. Help those business owners who you believe could be struggling. Introduce them to GrowOnlineNow.com and let’s turn their business around. There has never been a company seeking our solution that we have not been able to help… you can let them know that we stand by our motto, “We earn your trust first… before we earn your business!” We are that “Seed of Growth” for a successful business marketing strategy by which all small- and mid-size businesses can grow a successful and prosperous future.

In today’s uncertain times many are concerned about “Health Insurance”. We are bombarded daily it seems by the news media on this topic, and there seems to always be a solution given by our news outlets… get Government to fix the problem. Not to beat-up on government, but when have we ever seen government as a solution to anything? As a matter of fact we are beginning to see cities filing for bankruptcy as a result of their not being able to provide retirement benefits to their retirees.

Where does one turn to evaluate a back-up system, a back-up plan, a safety net in today’s economic uncertainty? It was this very question that inspired the idea in making this video available to as many people as possible. No one knows who may be looking and there just may be someone out there who knows someone who is searching for an alternative to their present situation, or are concerned as to where their job, position, or even their business will be 6, 12 or 36 months from now. This video was made available for anyone who wants or needs to investigate solutions and who may be interested in beginning an evaluation process with no strings ever attached… This company truly has “Changed the Face of Business”. It was my back-up plan, now it is my primary source of income… ask around and see how many other’s have associated themselves with a company that has done the same for them. 

Enjoy and share this video with others… we never know who is searching for a real solution.

To be a successful business owner is to be honest, credible, above reproach, sincere but most importantly, respected, and it helps to have a great product or service. The best policy is to never reveal negatives only positives. So it is with that specific policy in mind I want to pass on an interesting story, focusing on a positive perspective which has a meaningful conclusion.

I was contacted by an individual not long ago who spoke of their drive in becoming a billionaire. That is a wonderful goal to have and I am sure there are countless people out there who wish and dream of one day themselves becoming wealthy. The challenge was the way in which this person was approaching me. They were trying to get me to have the same mindset as theirs and there was the rub. You see, everyone loves to buy but I know of no one who loves to be sold and that was precisely what was occurring. Rather than identify my goals, my ambition, my passion, my desires, they assumed by their research that everyone would love to do what they were doing or what their business was offering, “…I mean after all doesn’t it make sense that everyone would love to…”. Sorry, I have to omit most of what was said for fear of breaking that policy I spoke of above.

What is always important to realize is it doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned professional salesperson representing a large company, a distributor offering an opportunity, or someone somewhere in between, the most important point to remember is “what value will it have for that person”. How can someone sell me on an idea if I am not open to that idea to begin with? This is an extremely important point that even I ensure to follow when identifying whether a business owners has a need for an online business solution, or merely wants a web site. If the business owner wants a simple web site, I will do my best to find them someone who will build them a cheap web site for next to nothing since that is all they want… a simple static web page not an integrated web site solution. However, if they have a need for a fully integrated solution to raise their business to the next level, then I simply offer them a no-obligation, risk-free 30-45 minute walk through of our technology in their specific industry by one of my product specialists to see if our solution will have value to them and their business. The point is I first identify their need and then help them by showing them, not selling them, our technology! This was the mistake made by the caller who tried so hard to sell me, trying to convince me I should be thinking like so many who have gotten into their business without ever knowing whether or not I would have a need or desire.

As a result of this person’s call and their follow-on message, through Fast Pitch no less, I was inspired in writing an article for my blog called “What Type of Opportunities are People Looking For?” It is extremely important to understand – it is not how great your business or product is… it is how important you find someone’s needs. If you have that always in mind, it will always guide you to success… perhaps not with each and every call or sales opportunity, but your reputation with everyone will open doors everywhere. Unfortunately I have closed the door to that person who called me… or perhaps not… it all depends if that person gets the idea from my piece which I sent to them in response. Too bad you can’t compare the two… you would have gotten a real kick out of it. It was not my intention or purpose to convince that person to do what I do (although they would have a better chance) but what was important was for that person to realize the importance in understanding what people are looking for when they are bombarded constantly with opportunities galore.

So Jim lives in a great little community, let’s call it Swellsville, USA. Neighbors are friendly, coming from all walks of life. He has blue collar, white collar workers; yes even executives and entrepreneurs living in a community that has around 900 homes pricing in from the $300k to the $1 million price range. And just like many American communities, Jim’s neighborhood has their fair share of pranksters that have nothing better to do than to torment the family pet and yes unfortunately there are on occasion other events taking place that are worse than those of the community prankster’s. On the lighter side however, there are great restaurants, theater groups, family entertainment activities, parks, evening bistros showcasing local talents, and I could go on and on.

Jim has lived in this new neighborhood for 10 years now, and he knows mostly where everything is. Jim, his friends and neighbors pretty much know what’s going on within “their” community and for the most part share what’s going on. But then there are all too often times where, for whatever reason, the word just never gets out… maybe it was just not on the top of someone’s important “info sharing” list. Bill comes up to Jim one Monday morning while he’s getting his coffee at Starbucks, and tells him about the great show last Friday at Castle Peak’s, a little brewpub which showcased a new local talent. “She was terrific Jim; you would have really enjoyed her because she sounds just like your favorite childhood singer Petula Clark. I’m surprised you weren’t there.” Jim looks at Bill with amazement, almost chocking on his hot coffee and after getting his composure back, “I never even knew they had entertainment at Castle Peak’s, I would have really liked to have seen her.”

The sad thing is the community has a great website www.couldbeswellsville.org and the webmaster does a great job in keeping up with all the events, activities, the committees, membership, etc.; it’s almost a full time job just by itself. Sadly Bob, the community’s webmaster, just cannot be everywhere, know everything, and report on their website everything that is newsworthy in their community. Oh, I forgot to mention! Castle Peak’s is actually in the “neighboring” community, no wonder Jim didn’t get the news!

I defiantly can relate to the story above for I moved into my neighborhood 18 months ago from another state. The website in our community was functional but as is often the case, not always up-to-date or all that informative. Now before doing the blame game understand one thing; whenever you have volunteers you have dedicated people willing to give up their time and sometime money for the betterment of the community. This is no different, but life just sometimes gets in the way and a website can be very demanding on one’s time, more so than any other committee or board member activity.

A few months ago a friend came up to me all excited about something called PortalHood, a new community portal that makes everyone’s life in their community much easier. She went on and on about all the features and benefits to where I had to stop her and say hey, too much information here… let’s slow down and start with the simple things first. Well remember the story I just shared above? Simply put, it is the solution to the communications problems and the negative dynamics found with a “static” Website.

That was another term I had to deal with. A static Website… what’s that? Probably the best way to describe it is from a single layer perspective. A website usually reflects information specific to and from organizations, institutions, businesses or in the case of a neighborhood, its community’s or association’s website which is our focus. Static information means content on their Website that is one dimensional, a single source layer if you will focusing on the local community’s events, requests, family matters, zoning/real estate information, nigh-life/entertainment, news, etc. And the only way the information gets onto the community’s website is from their beloved webmaster. But where does he/she get their content? They have to rely on others to give them the information and all this means time taken out of their all ready busy schedule. So you can just imagine just how often information is not passed on to the one person who can update the Website. That is Static information.

Now, let’s look at PortalHood’s Dynamic System as it is used in solving this communications problem along with its uncontrollable static dynamics, or at least what we thought was uncontrollable dynamics. Simply put, PortalHood is the brilliant concept of designer Kim Gokce who resides in a corresponding neighborhood to where I live right here in Atlanta, GA. Kim believed communities would love to have information not just about their neighborhood, but from surrounding neighborhoods as well. He set out to develop a dynamic community portal which has accomplished just that. But wait, there is even more. By doing so, Kim’s design allows paid members to participate in the community’s website updates and content; the webmaster has finally been liberated from the heavy website management responsibility. And the community can now enjoy participating in the website’s content. They are taking a more proactive ownership of their Community Portal/Website now that Kim has empowered them with this great new asset.

I strongly encourage anyone frustrated like the character Jim above to take the time to investigate PortalHood so you never ever miss out on listening to your favorite singer when she debuts in your neighborhood.

Feel free in visiting our Portal for an example of a few of the features available, but you have to talk with Kim to see the real power in this amazing community service... make sure you contact Kim.

2005 Holiday E-Shopping Exceeds 2004
Weekly shopping sessions at online retails rose from 348.3 million in 2004 to 462.5 million in 2005. This is an increase of 33%.

Shoppers Shift to Online
Browsing at online retailer sites has increased almost a full hour over previous two years. In 2003, the average shopper spent 2.4 hours shopping online, the 2005 survey records an average of 3.1 hours per week. Twenty-one percent of shoppers count purchases from Internet sites as part of their overall shopping, not a supplement to in-store buys. That's a six-point increase over 2003.

This trend continues to increase each year. 

“I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.”                                                                        ----Bill Gates

It has been said that if a business owner in not on the internet today, they will be out of business by 2010. The internet is a billion dollar industry and technology is growing at a rapid pace (Moore's Law). 

So how critical is it for businesses to be on the internet? It is totally up to the business to make that determination, and if it is critical how crucial is it that they stay on top of the ever evolving technology?

1.       Will the business owner’s website technology be compatible with the internet in 2, 4, or 6 years?

2.       What will it cost the business owner to retool their website to be compatible with the internet?

3.       What about developers; will they keep up with Moore’s Law and still remain competitive with their competitors?

What if there was a way to answer all of these questions?
There is! For the very first time in the history of the internet, one company has brought together a solution for both business owners as well as web developers. A solution that everyone is capable of leveraging, bringing turn-around development time to the lowest ever while staying on-top of advancing technology along with no added cost to business owners or developers.

To get more information, first listen to this 30 minute conference call with Jeremy Fennema, Director of Internet Services with MA, then contact Bruce Swartz and learn how to begin leveraging off the incredible MAWebCenter business solution system. It’s a win-win-win situation with no losers to those who heeds Bill Gates words.
