trying to figure out the demographics

It’s difficult to run a company in these times.  Who are my customers?  Why are they my customers?  Why aren’t they?  How to I get more?  How do I help people understand the benefits of becoming a customer?  How do I help them understand my company and our product(s)  and what and who we are so they want to be customers?  We’re always struggling with this…especially since we know we have an incredibly useful product for essentially everyone.  This is probably part of our problem because we can’t find a reason for anyone NOT to use our product.  It can be used strategically or tactically and sometimes both at the same time.   It is safe for almost anyone; even children.  There is both a health and lifestyle benefit from use.  It’s that GOOD.  From Maxim Magazine to the Santa Cruz Sentinel we’ve been positively reported on.  So after all this, what is the product?  That answer is LiverGARD.  What is LiverGARD?…it is a food, a supplement, a lifestyle enhancer, an energy provider, digestive aid, and yes…a HANGOVER PREVENTATIVE.   A food?  yes, as the sole ingredients are artichoke and sarsaparilla.  As a supplement you are getting 1650 ORAC units from every two capsules.  That makes up for several cups of broccoli and some blueberries.  Think about our kids getting their nutrition more efficiently and without complaint.  If your lifestyle includes such thing as working out, massage therapy, or yoga, then liverGARD helps clean out the body from the toxins released into the bloodstream.  Out of energy, then let’s look at why that could be before we take energy shots or drinks.  Since LiverGARD aids digestion and better metabolization, the foods we eat will be more adequately be used by the body.  This means more energy as sugars a more easily metabolized and converted to use.  See, these are all reasons for all of us to use LiverGARD every day.   LiverGARD; it’s not just to prevent a hangover anymore!  See for youself!

Talking to the trees…

When was the last time you went to the doctor and he advised you to ‘talk to the trees’?  It’s probably not often…certainly not often enough.  Sage advice though and something we ought to take more seriously.  What else is so alive yet has to stay in place year after year after year?  Patience, grace, fortitude, and peace are all exhibited by these living sentinels while in the midst of our daily chaos.  Look at our world today and you can see the meltdown, the lack of patience, the greed, the need for more, the need to keep up, the lack of peace.  This is just the external impact…what’s happening inside the body?  The chaos is just as extreme, poor nutrition, poor sleep, worry about money, worry about family, worry about the next day, and just plain worry.  Whatever the chaos, it impacts you severely and this impact puts your body in distress.  Fortunately, some of us have been fortunate to have been introduced to supplements and nutrition to help balance the negative impact of our world and lifestyle.  One of those positive choices is LiverGARD.  Our body is a complex organism under the influence of hormones that regulate our body and allow it to operate and work to live in the environment that it is placed.  As we feed our body (whether good or bad) we need to eliminate the really bad stuff.   Since we have a liver, amongst other organs, we’re amazingly able to handle so many daily toxins both external and internal, but the onslaught truly takes a toll and as we get older, our livers could use a bit of support.  Visit us at www. livergard.com and begin the process of helping your body sort out this chaos.  I think you’ll find that dealing with the external variables becomes easier when the internal processes are in sync.   Anyway, it’s time for me to go outside and talk to the redwood next door.  The good news is that I’m ready to listen as well……Peace be with all of you….Natural Bridges Products, Inc.

Changing the fortunes of the small business…

My colleagues and I run a small business.  No one is completely full time though, since we all need to make some money to ensure that we maintain capital for our monthly recurring costs and our long term projections/efforts for growth.   This requires tremendous sacrifice from our families as well as patience.  The original core of the team still remains 8 years later.  You only stick something out that long if your belief in what you are doing is very, very strong.  For us the belief is twofold; 1) our product LiverGARD is simply that good for you, and 2) what the company stands for is worth believing in.   Please take advantage of LiverGARD for yourself and share this information with your friends.   Yes, we want to earn a full time living from LiverGARD so as to offer more of the same in other quality products that make your life better by complementing your lifestyle and encouraging a bit more health and wellness.   Actually doing it and not talking about it.

See you tomorrow!  NBPI

A little grain of salt…

Here we go…2009 hits the ground running and we are starting mile 1 of the marathon.  I wish we were halfway through but that is simply not the case.   It’s asking alot for people to believe in us and believe in LiverGARD.  Our company and I, personally, have made many mistakes in the design and execution of our business.  We’ve hired experts in retail, we’ve hired experts in financial arenas; none of them have been able to overcome the concern of our initial business in preventing the alcohol hangover, that we would promote drinking.  No matter that Maxim Magazine, Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine, and many others (see for yourself at www.preventhangovers.com ) endorsed our product for what it was and what it did.  These folks were simply honest with themselves and used our product and reported exactly what it did.  Preventing the hangover is good; science says so, the government says so, business says so, my customers say so.   They are still right, but let’s take their enthusiasm with a grain of salt.  Is LiverGARD (formerly First Call) a license to drink stupidly??  No.   Will it work for everybody everytime?  Probably not…it’s food and depending on what you drink, how much you drink, how much LiverGARD you take and when, the possibility exists to overpower the nutrition provided the body.  I can tell you this…for me to feel anything but perfect I have to be really, really, really stupid in how much I drink ( no food and lot of booze ).  A perfect example of how it works for me is a bottle of wine over dinner with my wife.  If she were to have her one glass and I were to finish the bottle the LiverGARD allows me to feel like I drank water the night before when I wake up.  For my dad, a glass of wine used to cause him a headache before he even finished the glass.  Now he can enjoy sharing a bottle at dinner and have no ill effects during, or after.  This is how to use our product.  Actually, this is just one way to use our product.  For me, it’s the best way to prove that LiverGARD is good for you because if it works for moderate alcohol consumption and the elimination of the side effects of consumption then how well it must work for other toxins.  It’s actually another reason we changed the name.  This is what we’re about.  Look around and compare us to our competitors and to other brands of products you buy.  Do their products do what they say and do they do it as well as my product does its job??   When you discover LiverGARD’s benefits, I simply ask that you tell someone else about us.  Oh, and take an empty bottle in to your nearest retailer and ask that they carry LiverGARD, especially if they carry beer, wine, and/or spirits.  They really shouldn’t be promoting drinking without a solution!  See you soon…www.livergard.com

another perspective on the liver…

It seems as if from the beginning of time people have known of the importance of the liver to health and well being.  Some primitive cultures believed their liver was the center of their individual universe.  While we modern folks may have forgotten, refined and/or reorganized our thinking on such matters, we cannot ignore the fact their beliefs demonstrate these cultures had an intuitive grasp of the sciences, from anatomical functions to relativity.  

Modern medical science has proven that the liver is the center from where our individual health and sense of well being flows.  From maintaining body heat, to filtering and cleansing toxins from our system, the liver holds our physical being in balance.  We all increasingly take steps to limit our intake of toxins from our environment, by limiting our diets, filtering our water, and the like, but what about the toxins from the world around us that are impossible to limit.  Things like the outgassing of paint, plastics, and petroleum products in general.  Even Mother Nature dishes out her share of toxins.  The Smoky Mountains are smoky because of the turpentine baked out of the pines which line the slopes.  There are so many other naturally occurring toxins we don’t have the time to mention them.  Fortunately nature has also provided us with a way help the liver to clean these toxins, and that is LiverGARD.  As in times before the pharmaceutical companies decided profit was more important than performance and efficacy, the solutions of healing had to come from nature.  Visit our site, www.livergard.com and come back to nature and give your body food to help clean up your insides...

Toxins indoors

Hello again from Natural Bridges,

We were just talking about being indoors today.   Whether at the office or at home, we’re inside a bunch more right now with the cold weather.  Just like being outside, we’re exposed to toxins.   Recycled, drier air from the heater, lint, dander, ash from the fireplace; all of these impacting your internal environment.  Couple in the smog and smoke from burning fireplaces on the outside and the body is even more impacted.  LiverGARD is the perfect nutritional supplement to help keep the body clean on the inside.  Here’s a link to NPR and some other information on indoors toxins…
