With the breath of spring in the air, I’d like to report on some of the exciting projects and recent accomplishments here at Synergy. Most of you have probably heard about our great new product Encode. We had a tremendously successful rollout a few months ago at our very first San Francisco Regional. The always dynamic Dr. Ann De Wees Allen spoke about this product’s tremendous potential to support cardiovascular health in certain target populations. Encode defines Synergy’s mission of empowering people through health, wealth, and wisdom.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Keep on Keepin’ On pring in Utah is fickle. One day it’s balmy and mild, with snowy mountains looming in the distance and blue sky stretching to the horizon. The next day storm clouds build, the wind howls, and hail the size of canned hams peppers the ground. (OK, I’m exaggerating a little. Would you believe marble-sized hail?)

S

Things always change, don’t they? That’s the fun of life. Tomorrow brings something different, something fresh and new—especially in network marketing. This is why such talented and motivated people are attracted to the business. They relish the excitement and thrive on the challenge. As for me, I love being around our distributors. They’re funny, full of life, and bursting at the seams with creative ideas and fresh approaches to the business.

We’ve added a raft of great new distributors in the East, including John GoPaul, Jeff Schneider, Patricia Kaye, and many others too numerous to mention. Distributors are the engine that make the company go. When we add ethical, sharp people, we maintain our reputation for integrity and truth. The essence of our business is trust, so the moral caliber of our distributors is critical. I’m proud to say that we have the highest level of distributor anywhere.

I invite you to check out the redesigned website. It offers great marketing information and links to anything about the business you can imagine. The new Advanced WebXpress is a fabulous tool, offering a huge leap forward in speed, performance, and capability. Our talented marketing department just created a business opportunity presentation that we believe will substantially improve your ability to tell the Synergy story to potential recruits. You’ll find it on the Synergy website home page. Check it out now! Sales in the past few months have been excellent, and the coming months will be even better. We have some great new products being developed and plans to make the business work better for you. I want to thank everyone associated with Synergy for all they do. I love working with you all, and through the spring and summer I want to meet as many of you as possible. As always, remember to live, love, learn, and leave a legacy. Warmest Regards,

Dan Higginson

Celebrate Success! Pearl Executive Chanida Puranaputra and her husband share their Synergy good fortune with new cars for everyone.

PRODUCTS & HEALTH

Energize Your Day with Synergy’s Ultimate Health Cocktail We all have those days that drag on forever, when we couldn’t summon the energy to swat a fly if it were buzzing within arm’s reach. When that empty feeling hits, some people reach for a sugary beverage or a candy bar full of nuts. hat’s a mistake. Synergy has a healthier, long-term solution. Just try a daily combination of our premier liquid health supplements, Mistica, Noni Supreme, and SyneMax. This ultimate health cocktail will promote your physical and mental well-being and give you the real vitality you need to accomplish your important daily tasks.

T

SyneMax, Noni Supreme, and Mistica are unrivaled in the natural-heath industry and incorporate the most advanced technologies, purest ingredients, and strictest manufacturing standards. You can use these drinks individually or together. Each drink offers specific health benefits and great taste. When you use them together, you’ll receive the full protection of essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants and d r a m a t i c a l l y i m p r ove yo u r health, appearance, and mental outlook. The following explains in detail how these supplements work to protect you and give information about the wide range of

benefits they offer your bodily systems. SyneMax SyneMax is a liquid vitamin, mineral, amino acid, enzyme, and trace mineral supplement, with fulvic acids. SyneMax was first formulated in 1998 and over 16 million bottles have been sold worldwide. Synergy now has the rights to this exclusive formula. Fulvic acids are naturally occurring organic acids arising from the natural decomposition of plant and animal residues in the soil. Research confirms that fulvic acids can enhance the bio-availability of essential minerals. They have also been shown to be important antioxidants. Fulvic acids can also enhance the health and function of the immune system. Fulvic acids are a family of organic acids that are naturally part of the humus found in healthy soil. However, with the use of pesticides and nonorganic fertilizers, our plants have less and less fulvic acid. This means that our diets have

a much lower intake of fulvic acids. Why are fulvic acids so important to the human diet? We understand clearly that essential and trace minerals are critical to a healthy body, but many mineral supplements do not provide these minerals in a form the body can absorb. Studies have shown that the presence of fulvic acids in a mineral supplement will increase the body's ability to assimilate the minerals. The human body needs over 70 minerals and trace minerals to carry out all necessary bodily processes. For example, most minerals are ionized in the body fluids or bound in organic compounds to form molecules, such as phospholipids, hormones, enzymes and other functional proteins. Most commercially grown plants don't have many minerals anymore; and many people

have absorption and digestion problems. T h e advantage of taking liquid minerals with fulvic acids is that the minerals and fulvates are so small that they can be more readily absorbed directly into the body's cells. Synergy's SyneMax provides the necessary rare earth minerals to keep our bodies functioning at their peak. Research has shown that minerals infused with fulvic acids are more easily absorbed and have other benefits for our body. We are sure you will enjoy the pleasant taste of natural raspberries.

DISTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT

Patricia Kaye I’m just grateful to be part of the incredible Synergy story. Cape Cod, Massachusetts Synergy distributor Patricia Kaye plays many roles throughout the day. She’s a devoted wife and mother of three children, even home-schooling her 15-year-old son. She works hard within her community, and yet she found time to reach the impressive milestone of Team Manager within 90 days of joining the company. ow does she do it? With an intuitive grasp of people and events, Patricia closely observes her prospects and finds out what they’re all about. She knows when to talk and when to listen. Her sunny personality and cheerful laugh make everyone instantly feel comfortable in her presence. People feel she can be trusted. Patricia knows that every person is different and uses that knowledge to help prospects find the place in Synergy where they’re most comfortable.

“I’m developing relationships,” Patricia says, “and I enjoy helping people create a foundation for health and a vehicle for wealth. Synergy is the best longterm method I’ve ever found to help people accomplish their personal goals, and I’m grateful to Jeff Schneider and Drew Boecher for introducing me to t h e c o m p a n y. I b e l i e v e i n

Synergy and its future. The convergence of factors is incredible. We have something here to offer people that’s truly life changing.” With a long-standing interest in holistic health, Patricia explored various companies and products to find the best match for her abilities. Always willing to learn, she absorbed whatever was good and useful, and she learned something wherever she was. With her emphasis on family and personal connection, her most important criteria for choosing a company was trust in her team and trust in the company.

ness practices. That’s a huge plus for me. I follow my intuition, and I believe that intangible elements are important. I felt comfortable with Synergy from the beginning.”

“Our team met Dan Higginson, and I’m so grateful that we have someone in charge whose beliefs align with so many of my own. He’s an ethical person, and Synergy follows ethical busi-

Despite her admitted maternal side and desire to take care of people, Patricia says she’s serious when it comes to doing business. “I’m coachable, and that’s really the key,” she says. “I

take what my upline gives me, and I run with it. This business isn’t just a hobby for me. I’m doing it the right way, and I intend to make it successful.” Patricia gives credit for her success to her team and the comprehensive plan they’ve put in place to achieve success. “Our team support is strong,” she (Continued on page 11)

Ultimate Health Cocktail (Continued from Page 3) Noni Supreme Steeped in legend and mystery, Noni (Morinda citrofolia) is one of the most remarkable natural health products in the world. Pacific Islanders have used Noni as a traditional folk tonic for centuries, and thousands of people worldwide use it every day to promote good health and well-being. Synergy understands Noni’s great potential and is committ e d t o p r ov i d i n g t h e m o s t unique product on the market. Packed with life-enhancing properties, our Noni Supreme invigorates the body and enhances energy, immunity, and nutrient absorption. Synergy’s Noni Supreme offers unsurpassed antioxidant capabilities, and unlike any other Noni product, contains a large dose of polysaccharides. One of the most potent compounds known in science and medicine, polysaccharides are easily absorbed. Because of this capability, they can aid the immune system and reduce harmful free radicals. Recently, Synergy scientists completed the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) test on Noni Supreme. This test evaluates a product’s ability to scavenge free radicals. Noni Supreme had one of the highest ORAC values measured among many different Noni products. Noni’s rich history of use and ability to treat so many different ailments has led to an explosion of products on the market. To make sure that our product exceeds the competition, Synergy’s Noni Supreme contains chokeberry juice and natural black raspberry flavor. Not only

do these natural products make Noni Supreme a pleasure to drink, they also increase its health properties. Noni Supreme is the perfect companion to Synergy’s other nutritional products. To boost your health to its maximum level, use it with VitaPak, Germanium Plus, Body Guard, and SyneMax. Mistica The indigenous peoples of the Amazon call açai the “Tree of Life” and for centuries have

Mistica Benefits

• Greatly enhances the bioavailability of important trace minerals • Modifies the damage of toxic compounds such as heavy metals and free radicals • Increases the activity of a multitude of enzymes • Organic minerals enables the body to utilize vitamins

• Helps relieve joint damage and aches • Aids digestive problems • Strengthens the cardiovascular system • Supports the structural system • Enhances youthfulness and increase energy • Increases mental well-being • Stimulates the immune system

• Antioxidants to help counter cell inflammation and premature aging • Anthocyanins to support the cardiovascular system • Essential fatty acids to aid in digestive tract function • Phytosterols to help maintain normal cholesterol levels • Amino acids for enhanced muscle activity

used the tall, slender plant as a food and comforting balm for many health conditions. Amazonian warriors reputedly drank the juice before battle to increase their stamina and strength, and local legends claim the juice has magical potency to enhance sexual desire. No other fruit can claim its extraordinary combination of antioxidants, amino acids, anthocyanins, and essential fatty acids. Synergy’s Mistica captures this mystical energy in a high-powered fruit blend that fortifies your body with essential life-giving nutrients. Savory and delicious, Mistica gives you what you need to accomplish more each day.

We’ve all heard of free radicals and the negative effects they can have on our health. Free radicals occur everywhere in our environment, including our food and in the air we breathe. The açai berry and the other fruits found in Mistica are natural sources of anthocyanins. An extremely potent type of antioxidant, anthocyanins are the pigments found in berries, red grapes, and other healthful foods. These compounds offer numerous health benefits, including the ability to support the circulatory and cardiovascular systems. In addition to powerful antioxidants, açai also contains essential fatty acids, amino acids, and

plant sterols, which are compounds that resemble cholesterol. Sterols help maintain proper cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range. They are also useful in maintaining a healthy prostate and in aiding the immune system. Packed with tropical goodness, Mistica tastes great and provides your bodily systems with a dazzling array of healthenhancing properties. Including a daily serving of Mistica in your nutritional regime may help to enhance vitality and energy, while guarding against the ravages of free radical damage. Mistica is truly the nectar of the gods!

DISTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT

Ann Marie Eckl We’re fortunate to have such an incredible caliber of products at Synergy, products that help you live better. Dana Point, California From her earliest memories, Ann Marie Eckl knew that she would spend her life in one of the healing professions. Her mother had many health challenges, and she felt helpless as a child to make a difference. hen she found early on that traditional medicine didn’t have all the answers to her questions, she vowed to dedicate herself to the art of natural health and alternative medicine. With a background in traditional medicine as a nuclear medical technician, she went on to get her license in clinical nutritional consulting.

W

“My first-born son suffered from a variety of problems, none of which the doctors could heal or explain, so I began a personal hunt to discover how people can stay healthy,” Ann Marie says. “I read everything I could, went to seminars, and did everything possible to learn about natural ways of healing.”

Over the years Ann Marie sent lots of people to health food stores to purchase products that might bring relief. But the stores never rewarded her efforts with a discount on her own purchases. “That’s when the concept of network marketing found me,” Ann Marie says. “Not only could I get cuttingedge products at a discount, I was also able to help people get their products at the same discounted prices I was getting. All I had to do was show them what I did. I was able to eventually pay for my own products and earn a little profit in the bargain! It was a win-win situation and right up my alley, people helping people.”

Some people come to Synergy for the opportunity, and others come because of the superior products. Ann Marie is definitely a product’s person. “In my opinion, if you don’t have excellent products, you don’t have anything, no matter how great the rest of the company is or how powerful the business opportunity is,” she says. “However, if you don’t have a solid, ethical company with sound financial backing, it won’t work either.” Ann Marie heard about Synergy through her interest in Dr. Allen’s ProArgi-9 formula. “I attended the Las Vegas convention to learn more about the product, and I was totally impressed to see this quality of nutraceutical sold through a network marketing company. When I came home I did my

due diligence on the company to find out why Dr. Allen chose Synergy to market her product. I was amazed at the variety and scope of the Synergy product line. I joined, and the rest is history.” To build her Synergy business, Ann Marie relies on her knowledge of natural health and her understanding of the Synergy product line. She uses the products, gives them to friends and family, and understands how they work. “When I talk to someone, I emphasize my personal experience and what happened to me,” she says. “You’ve got to stand in the truth of your own personal experience. We’re fortunate to have such an incredible caliber of products at Synergy, products that help you (Continued on page 12)

SYNERGY WISDOM

Emphasize Your Strengths Are your organizational skills top-notch, but you can’t really fire up a crowd? Are you a powerful, eloquent speaker, but so-so at organizing events? Do you excel at planning, checking off with feverish intensity every task on your daily to-do list, but perhaps lack a vision of the big picture? o one’s good at everything, but we often dismiss our strengths and emphasize our weaknesses. We don’t take advantage of what we’re naturally good at. Even if you’re a good employee, during employee evaluations your boss will take your strengths for granted and encourage you to seek out “opportunities for improvement.”

N

This is a mistake. Athletic teams are a good example of the value of playing to your strong points. No one is expected to be good at every position. A pitcher pitches, and the second baseman fields ground balls and hits fifth or sixth in the lineup. The quarterback practices throwing the ball, not catching it. Everyone does his job and contributes to the team’s success. Truly exceptional people rise to prominence by polishing their natural gifts and developing their unique skills. Imagine the waste of talent if Tiger Woods had decided to spend his time practicing the piano, instead of concentrating on golf, or if Hemingway had spent less time writing and more time learning the banjo. It takes

single-minded determination to rise above the crowd and attain true distinction. We all have innate abilities and Godgiven aptitudes. Some of us instinctively gravitate to numbers and math, some love to write or paint, and others enjoy fixing things and performing physical work. The key is to recognize what you like and you’re good at, then devote your time perfecting your gifts. Deep inside we all know what we like, and that’s usually what we’re good at, so it’s easy to immediately begin playing to your strengths. In network marketing, we often think we have to do it all by ourselves. This isn’t true. Network marketing is actually a team sport. It’s more like baseball than golf. You don’t have to carry the whole load. You have support. You have an upline, mentors, friends, help at every hand. You have the Synergy website with tons of information, brochures, flash presentations, and other ways to present the Synergy story. In your Synergy team, you need to identi-

fy who is good at what, and let these people work their magic. Let the silvertongued orators like Dianne Sharp Leavitt and Bill Heriford inspire the crowds with the Synergy story, while others stay in the background performing their important tasks. It’s all good—the revolutionary Mega-Match compensation plan allows everyone to benefit from success. The success of others is your success. Of course, every member of a team needs to possess certain personal attributes for the team to thrive. If someone is “naturally” lazy, undisciplined, or unmotivated, he or she needs to change. Unreliable and quarrelsome people don’t make good team members. For some people, the light never goes on, and nothing can ever lead them out of the darkness. If you have people like this on your team, get rid of them. Quit trying to be what you’re not. Spend your day capitalizing on your strengths. Stick to what you’re good at, and your Synergy team will reap the benefits of happier members, greater cooperation, and more success.

Patricia Kaye (Continued from Page 4) said. “Everything our group does is duplicatable, and we spelled out the process for everyone getting started. For example, we tell them ‘this is what you do the first 72 hours, and these are the events and trainings we want you to participate in the first 30 days.’ Above all, we teach them to share the opportunity, the products, and the belief.” With so many roles to play and numerous responsibilities in other areas of her life, Patricia knows she must focus like a laser on getting things done and making her Synergy career a success. “I try to work at least 15-20 hours a week,” she says. “I can’t stay out until 4 a.m. or work 70 hours a week. I have too much to do. But I’m creating a substantial business with focused time. This business is real and it’s working. I’m just grateful for the chance to be a part of the incredible Synergy story.”

Website Work Reaps Big Dividends In the past several months, a talented collection of computer gurus and software wizards has labored day and night to make Synergy’s web presence the best in the industry.

T

hese web warriors have retooled the Synergy corporate website and revamped the Business Manager.

Synergy is proud to report that all those sleepless nights and mounds of junk food have paid off big time. The corporate website is more attractive, more efficiently designed, and easier to use, and the Business Manager offers a host of new features and increased functionality. Advanced WebXpress is up and running, allowing distributors to better manage their Tracking Centers and maximize their opportunities. Synergy distributors are pleased with the results, and they have shown their trust by substantially increasing their website orders. The web traffic is up, and distributors have been able to use their time more productively to improve their business. A new and improved archive gallery is available this month, where you’ll be able to download past newsletters, brochures, images, and a host of other marketing tools. More great improvements are in the works. As soon as the computer guys get some shut eye and eat some healthy food (Including a full regimen of Synergy products), they plan on rolling out all the new improvements into every market and every language where Synergy has a presence. Another project on the horizon is the 2006 Convention website. Look for that soon!

business—that’s when they get excited about Synergy.”

For Ann Marie, it ultimately comes down to using the products and spreading the good news about them. “You’re not going to grow the business if other people don’t know how the products impacted you, your friends, or a family member. That information has to get out somehow. You can spread that knowledge in many ways, but it all has to be based on the truth. When people realize they can get quality products at a discount, and build a lucrative business—even an international

Synergy fulfills Ann Marie in many ways, from the quality of the people she meets to the opportunity she has to help distributors improve their lives. “I love working in a circle of like-minded people who are concerned about their health and willing to take steps to improve how they live,” she says. “Those who are attracted to Synergy have high aspirations and are upbeat about getting the most out of each day. That’s why I love this business so much.”
