Big Opportunity to make money & get a shot at being in a movie:
|
A&M Publishing is one of the sponsors of the SNAG contest. SNAG stands for Social Networking Army Generals... individuals who have large followings on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or youtube. We're selecting 16 contestants, each of whom will be assigned a week to encourage their followers to purchase a $4.99 ebook that is being considered to be a major motion picture. There are 2 ways to make money:
1. As a participating contestant.
2. As someone who recommends a participating contestant.
And yes...you can do both! Check out

Twenty Years Ago... my first TV interview:
|
Yeah, a lot has changed. I met Matt Lauer about five minutes before we taped this interview. He was incredibly nice and loved MEG... so last week's news was very disappointing.

Living Tips - Hope for Pancreatic & other Late Stage Cancers
|
Last month, I posted this video, which offered hope to a few readers (and their families) who have received devastating health news. Three years ago, a close friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage-4 Pancreatic Cancer which had spread into his liver. His presenting CA 19-9 was 268. Three months earlier, the microbiologist who was supplying me with extract to combat my Parkinson's symptoms had made a breakthrough in treating cancer. After using the new cancer extract for about 6 weeks, my friend's tumor in his pancreas had shrunk by 50% and the 32 tumors in his liver were down to two! The oncologist was shocked. Within 9 months his cancer was undetectable.
I know what many of you are thinking - if this was real it would be in every medical journal and newspaper. Unfortunately, that's not how the medical industry works in the U.S of A. It takes tens of millions of dollars and many years to get something like this through human trials.
This isn't a drug and there are no harmful side-effects. The good news: It works against the worst stage-4 cancers. The bad news: It's not covered by insurance. Relatively speaking, it is not expensive for a treatment that has saved hundreds of lives, but it's not free either. Monies go to fund a non-profit lab to fund their research. In memory of my father (who died of cancer six years ago), in gratitude for saving m friend's life... and for you, my extended family - I offer this video to send to those who may need it, and my personal email address so they can request more info as to why this works, the costs, and actual video testimonials from people who were cured. I receive nothing but the warm feelings that come with sending the info that can SAVE A LIFE.

 Ingredients:
9 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
