Hi! I’m Susan Whitehead and I started in the Direct Sales party plan industry in 1997 and have never done a standard party demo. You’ve probably been to parties like I’ve been to…where the consultant just seems like he or she is just going through the motions. Guests are glancing at their watches, just counting down the minutes until they can place their order, IF they even place one, and excuse themselves to go home.


And those people think party plan businesses or network marketing is supposed to be boring. But I’m guessing that, because you’re here, you want to make your in home demos more like a real PARTY than a sales presentation, right?



I’d like to invite you to sign up for my free mini course where you’ll get tips and free games sent to your inbox each day for 6 days. Read more…


Hope for Healing Liver Disease in Your DogHope for Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog by Cyndi Smasal

Hope for Healing Liver Disease in Your DogHope for Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog by Cyndi Smasal

This is the Official Site for the book "Hope for Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog" This site is owned and operated by the author Cyndi Smasal This book addresses Canine Liver Disease -  the 5th leading cause of Non-Accidental Death among dogs!


When my Vet came into the examining room and told me my dog had less than a month to live I was devastated. But I didn’t give up. I figured I had nothing to lose and the life of my dog to gain. I did everything I could to save my dog and it worked. The results of my research, trial and error, and ultimate success in healing Norman’s liver disease is captured in this book "Hope for Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog – The Complete Story". I wrote this book for people like you who love their dog and want to find a way to keep them. This book has the answers you’re looking for.



Hope For Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog contains a personal story about how Norman (my then 10 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel) and I battled against canine liver disease. The Vet gave him a month to live, and after the treatment described in this book he was healed in 3 months and lived an additional 2 years without any further liver problems. I’ve put a wealth of information together from all my research into an easy to read, concise book that will help you take care of your dog.


This is the 3rd edition of this book. I didn’t think I would update it again after the last update, but I found that there was new information and I wanted to make sure everyone who read my book had the latest and greatest information. Things have changed since I wrote my first edition in 2003 and updated it in 2007. There are many new supplements designed specifically for Liver Disease in Dogs and Vet’s are now more accepting of Alternative Treatments.


What makes my book special is that it is easy to read and has specific instructions. Most of the information out on the Internet is technical and you have to look at several sites to get all the information you need to put together your own treatment. Now, there are old articles and web pages that are wrong and do not have these updates. This book contains the latest information on canine liver disease.


Find out what food and supplements protect, reverse and heal liver damage. And discover the miracle diet that inspired this book. This book includes 10 Healthy Homemade Dog Food Recipes that you can use to help your dog live longer. Plus you will learn how to create your own homemade dog food recipes that are just right for your dog.


Find out why liver disease is usually well advanced before any symptoms are noticed. Learn how to care for your sick dog and what symptoms to watch out for. And how to treat liver related illnesses that might come up.


This book has been read by many people and helped extended the life of thousands of dogs’. I get emails from people who have used my book to save their dogs life. It can help you.


My book does not have the answer to every type of Liver Disease but it does have a positive effect on treating the liver no matter what’s causing the problem. Your Vet can work with you to determine the best treatment, but no dog has been harmed by taking the treatment in this book. It is safe. It is well tested. (Just read a few of the testimonials) Vets now have better medication to treat liver disease but they are not using everything that’s possible. They are making great improvements but there is still more you can be doing. This book covers all of the ways you can treat liver disease.


The main thing I want to give you is HOPE. It IS possible to improve the quality and duration of your dogs life. Liver disease does NOT have to be a death sentence.  


You can do what I did, and do the research yourself. Canine liver disease can be treated with diet and supplements. I know you are probably worried about your dog right now, and want to learn as much as you can, as soon as possible. I can save you a lot of time. All the information you need is in my book. Order the e-book now so you can start helping your dog today. Plus there’s a "Quick Start Guide" to get you started right away.


It was close to Christmas 2001 and something inside me kept telling me that there was something wrong with Norman. I thought the worst. “It must be… Read more…

1. Yelling at your Parrot to "SHUT UP" when it screams 2. Over-reacting and shouting "OOOH", "AAAH" or "OUCH" whenever it bites 3. Giving your Parrot only seeds to eat 4. Placing the cage near the window overlooking the garden 5. Putting your Parrot above chest level 6. Having a single perch in your Parrot’s cage 7. Placing the food and water bowls just beneath the perch 8. Placing your new Parrot on your shoulders…


Even if you are doing any one of the above, you are inadvertently bad Parrot behavior. It’s time you correct your Parrot handling techniques to become a perfect Parrot parent in just 15 easy days…"



Not even the worst blood-drawing biters, crystal-shattering screamers, or stubborn, party-pooper non-talkers have a chance to resist these powerful Parrot training techniques… get your Parrot to do exactly what you want with ease…


"In just under 2 weeks I have gone from a quivering, tearful, frustrated bird rescuer, to the proud owner of Dylan, the Parrot who in his own words is ‘alright’…. Thank you for your information…" (Josette Bellham, Lowestoft, UK.)


"Your training info has done a great amount with my Parrot … My bird now is very friendly towards everybody and looks forward to getting out of his cage and onto people’s hands." (Stella Lam, Danville, Virginia.)


"Thank you so much for your training info, it has worked wonders with my Parrot Sam, his talking has improved, and I am much more confident in handling him and understanding him." (Pauline Chamberlain)


"We were about to find him a new home. However, your techniques regarding responding to shrieking episodes have worked. He is much more calm and playful. His biting attempts, handled in the way you suggest (moving into the bite) have dropped considerably, and he is not biting as hard." (Terry Clark, Los Gatos, California)


"Wow I cant believe it! Its already starting to work, today I had D.J. on my hand, which he would never do, unless I had a towel on my hand because he would bite me vicously, but… now i can acctually hold and pet him! What a difference!" (Ashley Bratt, League City, Texas)


"This book puts its ideas into terms that you can understand, many things not thought of by the general population such as bathing, preventing illness… useful tips about cage placement… and definite direction as to WHAT NOT TO DO. I would reccmmend this book to anyone interested in learning more about having birds as house pets of any breed. (Brenda A. La Platte, Jupiter, Florida)


About 13 years ago, a good friend of mine, Wayne, "rescued" Parrot that showed up mysteriously on his back porch balcony one day.


He came right in the house when offered a cracker, and woofed it down like a ravenous feathered pig… the poor, lost fellow was obviously very hungry.


Well, Wayne, being a good guy, kept him in the house (he didn’t have a cage), and tried to locate the owner of the lost Parrot by putting an ad in the local paper.


Nobody responded to the "Lost Parrot" insertion… and in the end, Wayne ended up becoming an unexpected Parrot owner, as he never did find the original owners.


In the meantime, Wayne named the playful and friendly fellow "Polygon". And to his shock, Polygon talked… and it wasn’t just "Hello" he was saying. Polygon’s chatting was a little more "complicated"…


Huh?!… pot seeds??? Were the ex-owners giving this bird marijuana seeds? Perhaps they were tasty, perhaps Polygon was even getting high!? I really don’t know, I just know that Polygon loved to say this (I heard it myself many times).


Wayne thought it was pretty funny, even though he didn’t smoke or drink. That is… he thought it was funny until guests came over… then it stopped being funny fast!


Wayne had to do some serious explaining to his dubious, and shocked guests that HE wasn’t giving Polygon pot seeds and getting his friendly bird drugged out!


One day when I went to visit Wayne and Polygon, Wayne excitedly waved me over, "Nathalie, listen to this…", he then called out "Whoa…" and Polygon called right back…


Polygon had just made me become a p ionate Parrot lover. I never imagined that Parrots could be so charming and funny, and I never really had even imagined owning one.


For the last 12 years, I’ve learned A LOT about these feathered friends, mostly through the school of hard knocks (or should I say "bites")! I’ve gathered literally hundreds of tips and tricks on how to keep happy and healthy Parrots, and if you let me, I want to share this knowledge with you to help YOU successfully resolve any Parrot challenge you might be facing.

Raising Goats Guide – Complete resources for raising goats.

Raising Goats Guide - Complete resources for raising goats.
Click Image To Visit Site

If you have made the decision to purchase a goat or multiple goats, it is important that you know how to properly care for them. Goats require very specific care if you want them to stay healthy (and I ume that you do) and safe. Not knowing how the basics of goat care can result in sickly animals that you may be forced to put down. A lot of illnesses and problems can be prevented. It is typically much easier to prevent a problem then to have to deal with them after the fact.


Goats may be purchased for a variety of reasons. Some breeds make great companions and pets while others provide excellent meat and milk. W ver your individual reason is for purchasing these extraordinary animals, you do need to know how to take care of them. You’ll find some great tips in this article. We will be discussing fencing, housing, food needs and general health requirements. Although this information is abbreviated, it will give you a pretty good start to keeping your goats healthy and most importantly, alive.



To begin, it is important that you prepare your home or farm for your goat(s) before you take possession of them. You will not want to have to deal with fencing and other issues after you have them on your property. If you do, you will likely experience a number of problems needlessly. One of the first things that you will need to do is build or have a fence built. It needs to be big enough so that the goats can not jump out and no predators can get in. It is important that your goats to not get out and cause damage to your neighbors’ property. You also will not want any predators to get inside your fence and injure or kill your goats.


Next, you will need a pen. It needs to big enough so that the goats have plenty of room. You won’t want them crowded or on top of each other. They won’t take kindly to this. The pen should be sturdy and secure and have good ventilation. It needs to have a roof and insulation if you live in a cold climate. If you have both male and female goats they will need to have separate pens. There does need to be bedding in the pen. This is generally made up of straw or wood shavings.


Goats are social and so it is a very good idea to have more then one. Keep them together so that they have another animal around.


When it comes to food, goats are typically grazers. They also like hay and grain feeds. Be careful not to suddenly change their diet as they don’t take well to this. Goats need clean water. One goat may drink up to 5 gallons every day. Therefore, make sure that they have enough plenty to drink. If you live in a hot climate, this is especially important.


Other tips include ensuring your goats get checkups as necessary, provide regular care for their hooves, use flycatchers, shave them if you live in a hot area and make sure that they are wormed. Read more…

This Simple System Lets You Grow Enough Inexpensive GMO Free Foods To Keep You and Your Family of Four Safe and Healthy Year Round… With Only 4 Square Feet of Space… Or Less


If you think you don’t have enough room to grow healthy, sustainable foods to keep your family free of the GMO epidemic and chemically manufactured food machine… you are not alone.



I had a typical suburban America back yard with the picket fence a patio with a grill, a small patch of grass for the kids to play on and a little vegetable garden for a few herbs and a tomato plant… in the corner behind the shed.


Breaking News, Food Supply Poisoned… Natural Disaster Devastate Farmers, Cripples Food Production… Produce Costs Hit Record High


It seemed every time I turned on the TV or opened a newspaper I was bombarded by breaking news about what my family was eating…with each report worse then the last.


I was so overwhelmed with it all that I started to see the news tickers and headlines scroll past my vision as I slept each night.


…Natural disaster or crisis hitting my fellow Americans… Food shelves barren… assistance needed…


…New Study: GMO foods linked to long list of side effects and deadly disease… many more suspected…


I needed to find an inexpensive way to turn what little resources, and time, I had into a system that could not only keep my family feed and free of modified foods, but also do it in as small a space as possible.


1. Grow enough food for my family of 4 in minimal space 2. Is inexpensive enough so we can save on grocery bills  3. The methods had to be practical enough for long-term sustainability 4. And it had to support our chemical and genetic free growing needs


Instead of sprawling out on the ground, I discovered how to sprawl "up" and increase my growing space at least tenfold – probably more.


Now admittedly, I cant take full credit for this – its not rocket science after all – but what I’ve done is take my YEARS of research and THOUSANDS of dollars of trial and error and simplify the concept. In truth I turned a "good idea" into a life altering – chemically and genetically manipulated free – system.


It is truly one of the best vertical gardening and DIY preparperdness gardening guides on the market… and you can make it yours right now.


Think about it. Why should you go out and duplicate all this information on your own? Why should you have to waste your hard earned money on systems that will fail you? I did the hard work, and all the trial and error has already been done for you.


Everything you need to know to get started today is in this no fluff 59 page guide to Survival Gardening that will keep your family happy, healthy and feed through any disaster.


Everything you need to get started and grow food for you and your family is all right here in The Expert Prepper’s Family Survival Garden.


There’s no need for you to go through what I did. Long interviews with as many people as I could find, even longer sleepless nights of research, and countless mistakes from trials in the field.


You see, I’ve already done the work for you. All you have to do is take me up on this once in a lifetime offer!


If you read the paper and watch the news, then you’ve seen for yourself that you never know when or where a crisis will hit and disrupt the delicate balance of your life.


Furthermore, you’re the only one who can provide long term, fresh and healthy fruits and vegetables for your loved ones. 


How do you think they would feel if you waited…or worse – did nothing and let this book slip through your fingers? If they ever found out you could’ve had a bounty of fresh produce to keep them all healthy, energized, and satiated but didn’t – well…I don’t think I’d want to be in your shoes at that time.


But you can avoid all that by simply grabbing your copy of the Expert Prepper’s Family Survival Garden.


Yes, access to my Family Survival Garden guide is only 7 Bucks, which I think you’d agree, is an extremely reasonable price to pay for the security and health of your family.


So don’t delay. Act now and start growing all the food you’ll ever need to feed your family…and you can have it up and running in just a few short hours from now! Read more…
