Welcome to Our Blog, and Let Us Introduce Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Welcome to our Blog. We are Tom and Ruth Stroud. We are proud to be partners on the team of Ladd McNamara, M.D. He has added credibility and integrity to this number one company in direct sales. His experience in helping thousands of people worldwide with chronic diseases using quality nutritional supplements has sustained his passion to share these amazing products, Dr. Wentz’s vision and the exciting business opportunity. It was inspiring to see Dr. Ladd McNamara’s picture this year in the corridors of USANA’s Headquarters in Salt Lake City as a new Emerald Director as he advances in his mission to share this message with the world and leads our team to success!

Our lives have been tremendously transformed in health and income by USANA. Dr. Ladd McNamara has been very instrumental in helping us build our USANA business, as he selflessly gives us his time and talents to assist all those who are committed to making a diligent effort. Through his leadership we were able to advance to Bronze Director, and we’re not stopping.

Thank you Dr. McNamara for being there for us the last three years. We know you’re always there for us, and always will be.

To the reader of this blog who might be considering a home-based business, more time freedom, financial freedom, or to free yourself from a job you don’t really like, ….and, if you want to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself, we invite you to look closely into our opportunity and join our team! Experience the benefits of residual income at retirement (see the bottom section of this blog for a brief explanation of the power of residual income.) Watch the videos on this blog, and contact us, and we will be glad to explain it to you further.

Meet Our Team Leader and Emerald Director, Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Tom and Ruth Stroud are two of the finest individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. They have always gone above and beyond the call of duty. They have unselfishly served others and been team players ever since I have known them. Tom is one of the most diligent, persistent, and fearless people I know, ...all while being the nicest person one could ever have the pleasure of knowing and having as a friend.

Tom and Ruth are committed to spreading the vision of Dr. Myron Wentz, which is to create a world free of pain and suffering, a world free of disease. The pharmaceutical-grade, broad spectrum nutritional supplements that we all use daily from this company has been changing the lives of countless people since 1992. We have all witnessed it. Tom and Ruth have witnessed it. I have witnessed it in my medical practice before I retired from medicine. It is undeniable that we are witnessing the TRUE HEALTH effects that these products can produce if people are willing to make them a part of their daily lives. Tom and Ruth are committed to introducing people to these benefits as well as to the financial opportunity available with this company.

There certainly is something to be said for having a home-based business, and the time freedom, let alone the financial freedom it can offer. Tom and Ruth are very skilled and knowledgeable regarding every aspect of this business, and have ascended in leadership levels. I highly recommend that if anyone is looking to make a change in their lives, where they want more time freedom, more financial freedom as they become healthier and provide a service to others that they contact Tom and Ruth to learn more about this wonderful and exciting opportunity. (TomStroud710@aol.com)

This opportunity provides a true win-win for anyone who has any type of dream for a healthier, happier life. What are your dreams? I recall the reason I went into medicine. It was my dream to help people with their health AND make a good living in the process. With this opportunity, I am doing both WITHOUT the insurance headaches and overhead that came with my medical practice. I enjoyed the practice of medicine, especially working with my patients. I was a board certified medical doctor in Atlanta for over ten years, and chose to retire in December of 2003 because I saw that this opportunity was incredible! I saw that the products were truly changing the health and lives of my patients, family, and friends ...that's what turned me, a VERY skeptical medical doctor, into a true believer.

I also came to realize something that I never thought was possible; network marketing was indeed credible, ....or at least it COULD BE credible if done right! And boy, did we find the right company with the right compensation plan that was doing it right! I would have never imagined myself going through so many years of education and training at some of the top medical institutions in this country, doing medical research, publishing medical research papers, setting up a medical practice, obtaining board certification .... all to walk away from it to go into network marketing; but I did. I released myself from the burdens of a traditional medical practice, which included the woes of running a daily "business," and gave myself the gift of pursuing financial and time freedom, mental and physical health through this amazing opportunity. I realized that my dream of financial freedom, of time freedom, of health .... of doing what I wanted when I wanted ... of following my passion for helping others, of discovering the truth whether it was popular or not among my peers, was greater than my fear of what people thought of me working my network marketing business.

When YOUR DREAMS of what YOU WANT become greater than YOUR FEARS of what people might think of you for getting involved with a credible nutritional supplement company that distributes its products through network marketing, then I encourage you to contact Tom and Ruth and become a part of our growing team. (TomStroud710@aol.com)

It takes work, following a system, commitment, persistence, a positive attitude, a belief in yourself, and working together as a team ...oh, and NEVER giving up. It can and does work for anyone regardless of education, background, or experience. Let us show you how this incredible business opportunity can be done. The success you obtain is ultimately up to you. We cannot guarantee your results, but we can guarantee that you will have an equal opportunity for success with this industry, with this company, and on this team. That speaks volumes! I personally invite you to find out more by contacting my friends and team members, Tom and Ruth, with whom I personally work.

Thanks and my best to you in health and in happiness,

Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Emerald Director

Christiane Northrup, M.D. Endorses The Work of Ladd McNamara, M.D.

"Dr. Ladd McNamara is the rarest of physicians ...a fellow ob/gyn -- who has dared to challenge the status quo in women's health and give women the information they need to get well and stay well. His important work on the cholesterol controversy is, without a doubt, one of the finest and most helpful pieces of research I've yet run across. I highly endorse Dr. Ladd McNamara's work."

Best-Seller: "The Cholesterol Conspiracy" by Ladd McNamara, M.D.

We have found "The Cholesterol Conspiracy" by Dr. Ladd McNamara to be an incredible book. It provides information about the true underlying cause of heart disease (oxidation and inflammation), and what you do to promote a healthy heart through proper diet, exercise and most importantly nutritional supplementation. Many people are placed on statin drugs without realizing the consequences or alternatives. Dr. Ladd McNamara provides documented medical information that shows how nutritional supplements can promote a healthy heart. We whole-heartedly recommend this book to everyone. Take this book to your doctor to discuss your alternatives if you are considering a statin drug. (Never self treat.)

You may email Ladd McNamara, M.D. to obtain a copy of his book, The Cholesterol Conspiracy at LaddMcNamara@aol.com, or you may post a message here regarding your own experiences with his book. Dr. McNamara is currently a full-time author, speaker, and network marketer in the field of health and wellness, and as you can see, we are VERY PROUD to be a part of his team. We also invite you to ask us more about this incredible opportunity to have your own home-based business, and be a part of this wellness revolution with the leadership under Dr. Ladd McNamara that we, on his team enjoy.

I have known and been associated with Dr. Ladd McNamara for over 12 years. We have worked together in the field of nutritional medicine making our patients and people aware of the health benefits of taking high-quality nutritional supplements. He has personally been an encouragement to me because of his passion, expertise, and professionalism in presenting the true scientific and medical facts in this truly emerging new field of medicine. I have listened to his lectures and read his books with great admiration and respect. He has certainly influenced my practice of nutritional medicine and I owe him a great debt of gratitude for his work and expertise as a leader in the field of nutritional medicine.

Though currently retired from the practice of medicine, Dr. Ladd McNamara has been an excellent physician and specialist in obstetrics and gynecology. He has practiced his specialty with the utmost of integrity, professionalism, and expertise. I have personally visited with several of his patients who all have the deepest regard and respect for Dr. McNamara. He is truly unique in this era of allopathic medicine because he has taken the time to care and guide his patients into those healthy lifestyles that has allowed his patients to enjoy improved health and decreased dependence on medication. Dr. McNamara is certainly one of those fine physicians everyone would like to have had as their personal doctor.

Sincerely,
Ray D. Strand, M. D.

Which Supplement Brand is Best!

In Lyle MacWilliam's amazing and comprehensive book, "The Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplement," now in its Fourth Edition, he evaluates over 2500 nutritional supplement brands throughout the world (mostly North America). After nearly 10 years of research comparing ingredient formulations, quality manufacturing, pharmaceutical standards, indepedent testing, safety limits, completeness, and many other standards written about in his book, the brand that we use and advocate has come out on top as the GOLD STANDARD of all nutritional supplement brands.

To have third-party verification come out supporting what we already knew to be true is icing on the cake. We ARE taking the right vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids for our bodies for lifelong optimal health. We would encourage you to contact us today to find out more about these products.

If you would like to study this book on your own, please feel free to do so. It can be found at http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.unitogether.com/, or http://www.comparativeguide.com/guides/adultguide.html.

Author, Lyle MacWilliam, MSc, FP Endorses The Special Work of Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Dr. Ladd McNamara is a Maverick. One of few medical practitioners trained in Western medicine, who has dared to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry; Dr. Ladd McNamara is not afraid to “tell it like it is.” In the years that I have known and worked with him, I have found him to be a conscientious and dedicated physician—one who has refused to buy into the false promises offered by our drug-dominated health care system.

His recently revised book, "The Cholesterol Conspiracy" is a hard-hitting exposé on the drug industry and the widespread abuse of statin drugs. Citing the hard facts of clinical studies, Ladd McNamara, M.D. exposes how a disease-centered industry has manipulated research findings and ignored conflicting studies to suit the bottom line of the controlling drug cartel. As Ladd tells it, the pandemic-like prescribing of statin drugs by doctors duped by Big Pharma has perpetrated one of the gravest of crimes imaginable on an unsuspecting public—a purposeful abuse of public health and safety.

As is the case with anyone who dares to buck the system, Ladd has received his share of personal attacks. What he and others who practice nutritional medicine espouse is an anathema to our current healthcare model: his tenet is that each of us has the ability to optimize our health and longevity through an informed and pro-active approach to wellness—one that does not depend on expensive and dangerous drugs as a quick fix to decades of intentional neglect. As a physician, Dr. Ladd McNamara has returned to the simple truth expressed centuries ago by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine: “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” How “outrageous,” indeed!

We need more “Ladd McNamaras” in this world.

Ruby Director, Kelly Sennholz, M.D. Endorses Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Although I’m doubled-boarded in internal medicine and emergency medicine, I also became involved in the wellness industry several years ago. When I first learned about all the wonderful things possible in this new field, I started collecting as much of the research and information I could to put together a book to help teach others about how nutritional supplements might be used to improve the health and lives of others. Then I became acquainted with Dr. Ladd McNamara and realized that he had already written several books on exactly these topics. Dr. McNamara had put together a series of books that were so helpful to me in educating patients and other physicians on the value of a healthy diet, nutritional supplements, and a healthy lifestyle. He created books that are just amazing; books that are understandable and informative; with references to substantiate the cutting edge information he was providing.

What truly amazed me and touched me deeply, was that as I got to know Dr. McNamara personally, I saw that he was a man of true conviction and passion for helping all people who came into his life. His heart is pure, and his entire work is committed to helping people with their health, and their wealth, and with living a better life. I would say his whole life is truly devoted to that one goal of helping others live healthier and happier lives. I admire Dr. McNamara, and I am proud to call him my friend.

"The Power of Cellular Nutrition" Audio CD by Ladd McNamara, M.D.

Dr. Ladd McNamara's "The Power of Cellular Nutrition" is one of the best-selling international audio CD's that our wellness industry has put out. On this CD, Dr. McNamara explains the importance of nutritional supplementation and the impact they have had in his patients' lives while he practiced medicine as a board certified medical doctor in Atlanta, Georgia for over ten years.

Dr. Ladd McNamara retired from his medical practice in December of 2003, and entered the wellness arena, spreading the vision of Dr. Myron Wentz on a full-time basis around the globe. This CD has had a powerful impact in people's lives, as Dr. McNamara sites studies and case histories from his practice of people who have had health changes due to lifestyle changes that included diet, exercises, and most importantly, the addition of pharmaceutical-grade, full-spectrum vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids to their daily regimens.

After listening to this CD you may be more motivated to take a quality brand of nutritional supplements on a daily basis, and that's where we come in. We would like to help assist you in making an informed decision on how to choose such a brand. Although we cannot give you medical advice, and you should discuss any and all medical issues with your doctor, the American Medical Association has admitted that it is prudent that everyone supplement daily as it is clear that we are not getting everything we need from our diets alone to promote optimal health.

Top Leader Collette Larsen Endorses The Leadership of Ladd McNamara, M.D.

"Dr. Ladd McNamara is a true shining star – always willing to share his unique medical perspective and give selflessly of his time and talents to all. How fortunate we are to have someone so experienced and highly qualified bring credibility and professionalism to our business. Whenever I hear that Dr. McNamara will be speaking, I move heaven and earth to get potential business partners and product users in the room! His highly visual presentation is as entertaining as it is informative and his quick wit and personal perspectives add to the enjoyment of the experience. His presentation is geared to those of us who are not so medically inclined. Everyone can relate – and I believe it is nearly impossible to walk away from his "Power of Cellular Nutrition" presentation without committing to try the nutritional products. It is an honor to know Ladd. I consider him a dear friend as well as a business associate."

In the many years we have worked with Dr. Ladd McNamara we have always been grateful to be associated with such a fine man. Everyone knows that he is a brilliant and caring physician. And if that were the only reason he participated in our downline, that would be more than enough. But in addition to his medical expertise, he has become one of our most focused leaders, nurturing and inspiring his own downline with an energy and passion that we truly admire. We always know that anyone who joins his organization will be mentored by one of USANA's best, as he works along side his people, and teaches them how to become leaders too! We only wish we could clone him!

Residual Income Makes More Sense!

If the average person continues to spend 5 hours per week promoting their home-based business in the booming wellness industry for 3 years and 4 months they will surpass their current income. The image above shows a yellow line representing their JOB and the red line is their possible home-based business income in the wellness industry with a company selling quality nutritional supplements. Just think how exciting your life will be with financial freedom when you cross the 3 year 4 month mark. Yes, some people get to this mark quicker and some take a little longer, and it sad to say that some people will never get there. If you are interested in financial freedom, and achieving it in the booming health and wellness industry, using a combination of the gold standard of nutritional supplements, a superior weight management system that really works, and a unique quality skin care system that together provides true health, then contact us for more information at TomStroud710@aol.com.

LEN CLEMENTS: Exposes Agenda of Barry Minkow's Allegations

LEN CLEMENTS: AN INDEPENDENT ANALYST & THINKER EXPOSES THE TRUTH BEHIND THE NUMEROUS ALLEGATIONS MADE BY THE EX-FELON, BARRY MINKOW:

Why are people listening to Barry Minkow, and the FDI? What exactly are Barry Minkow's "credentials" anyway, and what about all of HIS victims that he swindled out of millions of dollars with the ZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning scam who will NEVER get their millions of dollars back? How dare he talk about "victims." Yet, Barry Minkow, in his self-righteousness attacks the extreme good that many thousands of people are doing to bring about health and wealth around the world with our company!

What is Barry Minkow's real agenda? Why did he buy "put options" on the fall of the stock shortly before attacking our publicly-traded company and the fine people associated with the company for not being perfect? Was it to cause the stock to fall in order to short the stock and make money? Was he just being nobel in his quest? Barry Minkow and his gang have a clear agenda, and it is NOT to bring about health and wellness, nor does it appear to be to bring about a better world, one that is free of pain and suffering. With his "holier than thou" attitude and his personal attacks on the good people, he has apparently attempted to thwart the work of Dr. Wentz, ...but fortunately it will all be in vain.

Len Clements catches us up on all the illogic, twisted thinking, and out-right ignoring of the truth that Barry Minkow and his followers have used in their very public attack on the good people that we know and love in this company. In order to clarify the facts from fiction, you can read what Len Clements, an independent party to all this has to say. Len's bio, and his rebuttals are found at the links found below. The fascinating thing is, you can take the life and works of Dr. Myron Wentz, Dr. Denis Waitley, Dr. Ladd McNamara, and stack them against the ex-felon, Barry Minkow any day, and any rational person could clearly see who has the true agenda for helping others and who has an ego-driven agenda to attack others to make himself look like a big man and attempt to line his pockets. Study the lives of these men and their works, and by their works you shall truly know them.

Certainly, nobody is perfect, but, that's not the point. These honorable men that are involved with our company are doing all they can to improve this world, and Barry Minkow is doing all he can to soil their reputations, ...and we have to ask to what end? For the love of money and ego? Even if we took the stance of who is attacking whom on petty issues, and recycling these petty issues, you would see that Barry Minkow is taking the low road, and certainly NOT setting a Christian example, which he supposedly espouses, ...but, don't take our word for it. Read what Len Clements has to say, ... he has spelled it out quite well in all his rebuttals to Barry Minkow. If you study Len’s extensive rebuttals you may discover who the true fraud truly is.

Len's most recent rebuttal, although lengthy, is extremely informative: http://www.marketwaveinc.com/articles/YouTubeResponse.pdf
