New Executive Profile - Donna Syring

Donna Syring lives in Bandera, Texas.  Donna and her husband Herby, who has been self-employed for over 30 years, have 2 children and 3 grandchildren.  Donna has been interested in and has studied nutrition for almost 30 years.

"In 1982, I learned that when the body is filled with toxins the symptomatic results for me were as follows: Migraine headaches, kidney infections, endocrine system out of balance and the whole body is out of balance.  Also, premature hysterectomy for out of balanced hormones -  had I known this, I would not have had that particular surgery.  My problem ended up being my liver and immune system, and the adrenals were shot.  That is when I became interested in herbs and nutrition.  Detoxification was the answer for me.  Ever since then I have studied nutrition, iridology, and reflexology.  I went to school under Bernard Jensen from California.

I made a decision to give up my real estate license to launch out and help others with health challenges.  I was first faced with the death of my dear friend from breast cancer.  She knew I would pursue getting the truth out about an alternative way to achieve health for people who needed help.  I could fill up this page with the list of products I have taken myself and shared with others, but never in my life have I seen any product work as fast or as good as Chaga.

Success Tip of the Month

Are You Connected?

In today's fast-paced world, we are very easily distracted by so many things going on in our lives. 

If we want success in any endeavor, we need to stay focused and "plugged in".



If you're not plugged in - your business is not connected with
 the Chaga community!

Being connected means using the business tools, sharing the mission, and being involved in company activities.

If you're not "plugged in" then the odds are your Team Members are not "plugged in", as your team often duplicates your level of involvement and level of enthusiasm.

If you're not involved in company conference and training calls or special events, can you really expect your Team Members to be involved?

Remember it all starts with YOU.

Starting your new Team Members off right is critical to your success.  Get them involved with the product and get them plugged in to the Chaga community.  Be sure they know all the tools that are available to them - you are their success coach!


Customer Service
Question of the Month

How do I manage my
Chaga Autoship?

Managing Autoship orders is made simple through our Manage MyChaga Autoship document which comes to every new Member in his or her Membership Starter Kit. 

"How do I manage my autoship" is the number one question that comes to Chaga Support.

To ensure that your new Members and Customers know how to manage their orders, or should they forget how, they can source the Manage MyChaga Autoship document on our website under Support and then under the Help Center or our Document Center.

The more people know how to use this simple management tool, the more efficient and effective they can be in having the product they need at any given time. 


It's All About
Balance!

So many people in the alternative health care arena are finding through numerous testing methods, what we've known for years - that our Superior Chaga Extract has an  unparalleled, unique and powerful ability to balance the body's life energy. 

They have known this in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, where they focus on balancing the body's life energy or "Chi" for optimum health.  That is why Chaga is named the "King of Herbs" and revered by Asian cultures as a Superior class herb.

As more and more people see the benefits of making our Chaga extract part of their daily health regimen, we have an incredible opportunity through "balancing" people's life energy to make a difference in such a wide variety of ways. 

People are finding that by committing to the product, giving it a chance to work and achieve balance, many unexpected positive health benefits manifest.  That is why people who have made the product a part of their daily regimen and have committed to better health, say "Chaga for Life!"

One day, I called my friend Roger and asked him, if you could only afford one product for a life or death situation what would he recommend, and he said Chaga.  I checked out the product and read all the science and documentation.  I researched the Company and its Founders.  I could not believe that I was not introduced to this product and company sooner. 

Needless to say, I ordered this product right away and started sharing Chaga with my loved ones and Health Practioners.  Soon, stories started coming in with the wonderful results, and then checks started coming in the mail for me.

   

 

A few days on Chaga and I felt really good.  I thought I felt good before, but this product has changed my life as well as the ones who I introduced to Chaga.  I soon noticed more mental clarity, better sleep, hormone challenges calmed, thyroid improvement, and kidneys began to function better, and I was not getting up during the night to empty my bladder.  The Barretts reflux esophageal problems I was told that I had, that was to require a valve at the bottom of my stomach, which I choose not to get, seemed to disappear!

Chaga seems to reboot the immune system, activate the communication between the cells, and tells the body to repair it or replace it with a new healthy cell.  I am absolutely passionate about sharing this product and mission and want to help others.  No one can feel the pain I have endured over the past 8 years - me being sick, losing my mom and dad, and my brother.  He was younger than me. 

This is a great opportunity and I know that my future depends on me.  I am really blessed and I know that you reap what you sow.  I love natural products and I want to learn all I can about Chaga.  I just tell my new Team Members to share this with the ones you love and do 3-way calls.  Chaga is truly changing lives because it works.  I think this is the biggest thing that has hit our industry in the past 30 years.  Let's truly lock arms and change the world.  It is time that we all participate in our own health and financial rescue - this is our real stimulus plan and health care answer.


When I learned about the true value of this product and the great team I am working with, I think I have finally found a home.  I love working with our Team Members and corporate staff - Barbara is the best and Rich is a great Success Coach!  Chaga International has not only a great product but also great people.  They have the integrity, the experience and knowledge to take this Company to the top. 

I achieved the Executive position in a hurry and am helping my downline Team Members; stories are coming in and so are the checks!  The stories are amazing and better yet, I am a part of improving the quality of life for others and that is a blessing.

Now the Company is launching its new Chaga Anti-aging Serum!  I have received a sample and I love it!"

Chaga's Amazing New Anti-aging Serum!

Billions of dollars are spent each year by people trying to turn back the hands of time when it comes to their skin.  People will do almost anything to defy the aging process, and now we will be offering them a powerful and effective tool to reduce the signs of aging and maintain a youthful glow.

The skin, in so many ways, shows our overall health and how our bodies are dealing with the aging process and the stresses of everyday life. 
 

Many of us forget that the skin is actually the largest organ of the body, but it is often the most neglected.

Throughout history, Chaga has shown a remarkable ability to help the skin through the unique phytonutrient compounds and with our Superior Extract, we have seen great results through our Members and Customers.

So it was natural for us to research providing a skin serum that works in so many ways to heal, purify, and nourish the skin.  By combing our Chaga Extract and Melaleuca (tea tree oil), together with Aloe Vera, we have created a very unique product that gets remarkable results.
 

Already - after only a small number of uses by those who have had the opportunity to sample our new Serum, the stories are coming in and the healthy changes are visible in just days!  See the benefits of our Chaga Anti-aging Serum on just the right eye and the right hand in the photos below, in reducing the signs of aging - again in just days!
 

Imagine the age-defying stories we will have once this spectacular formula is available and people have been able to use it for months!  Think of how this amazing product can benefit your business and make a difference in the lives of the people you share it with!  The possibilities are endless!

Stay tuned for announcements about how you can be the first to get the New Chaga Anti-aging Serum, delivery dates, and information on product support materials.

New Executive Profile - Marlene Hanson


"I am a Massage Therapist practicing in a farming community in Nebraska.  I work in a facility with 4 other therapists where we have a blessed business and are able to touch many lives.  As a Bodyworker and Craniosacral Therapist, I am constantly looking for a product and type of therapy that will help as many people as possible and which allows the body to heal at a core level.  This is the most important and beneficial thing I can offer people.

True healing begins at the root.  I feel that Chaga has the ability to go to the depths of the system and begin to heal the body at a cellular level, one drop at a time.  And that’s what excites me the most about Chaga.

Before I learned about Chaga, I heard that Terry Smith found a product that was helping him and I wanted to know what it was.  I made contact with him, and he came to my office and shared Chaga with me.  It had been quite a while since I had seen Terry and when he walked through my door I could hardly believe my eyes.  No longer did he look exhausted and hunched over like he was barely going to make it through the day.  But here stood a man that appeared to be transformed into a picture of health and vitality.  His countenance and energy field was clearer than I had ever seen it.  His eyes were bright with the look of hope and life in them.  There was new hair growth and his skin looked amazingly healthy.  There was something different about his energy that lingered long after he was gone.

I told him I was interested in his product and he told me he would help me any way he could.  Terry kept me very interested in the company and because of my business I was able to sell out of my office. 

I had been looking for a product that would also help my husband Todd as well.  Todd & I started taking the product, and although we did not have instant praise stories, over the 1 ½ years we have been on the product, I’ve noticed a change in Todd’s mood.  For the past 4 years in the winter Todd’s eyes would become red and swollen with dry skin patches on the lids.  The Dermatologist and the Optometrist were not able to help him.  His eyes would become very painful.  This past winter Todd has had NO scaling on his eyes.  Praise the Lord!  And he has had fewer nose bleeds.  My energy level has improved slowly and I take Chaga to help with slowing down the aging process and to allow Chaga to build my immune system and create balance."

"An opportunity came up in our community to set up a Chaga table at our Memorial Health Fair.  We were able to give Chaga samples to over 80 people.  We were also able to help so many people and share the health-enhancing properties of Chaga.  After the Memorial Health Fair, Terry & Pauline were able to encourage our contacts to sign up under my website.  I was blown away with their generosity.  Terry & LaVonne have been true to their word in helping me build my Chaga business. 

Because the Smith’s ability to plant the seed of generosity into my life, I wanted to give back all and more of what I had been given.  When I heard they were going to the DesMoines Health Fair, I told Terry I would be happy to come along and share my time and energy with the people there. It was an amazing opportunity to meet with Sue Aalborg, Lorraine Cummins, and Betty Aalborg and help them reach out to the many people in their area with the hope and health that Chaga offers people.  Thank you to the DesMoines group for allowing us to come alongside you and help you build your team.  Then again in April, I had a unique opportunity to sit under several of the top Homeopathic teachers in a Homeopathic Seminar conducted by Aim.  I told Terry about it and he was able to attend and share his story with several interested people.  Because of Joyce Tschetter’s interest in Chaga, my world continued to grow.  Thank you so much, Joyce, for allowing Terry to place you in my team.  It was such a pleasure meeting you and your husband.

Terry and LaVonne helped me build my team so that I could reach Executive.  They were so excited for me and then I started receiving the checks they told me I could receive.  Wow! Praise the Lord it was all starting to come together now!

I would not be where I am today in the Company if it weren’t for Terry, LaVonne and Pauline helping me and being so generous with me.  This Company is different from any other Direct Selling company I have ever been affiliated with.

Back in June 2009, my daughter-in-law and I had the privilege of hearing Rich Gould at his training presentation in Grand Island, Nebraska.  I did not meet him personally at that time, but the enthusiasm and knowledge he had about the product was so helpful.  Since that time, I have been able to call Rich Gould whenever I have questions Terry could not answer.  It has been amazing to have someone in the company that cares enough to help people like myself to understand what the gift we have in our hands.

The most important part of this story is that I have a product that will help people to heal where they need it most.  When I am talking to someone that is having trouble with aches and pains and sadness because they don’t feel good and nothing is helping them, I am at peace sharing Chaga with them.  I know that this product will not let them down because of the way it is processed, the phytonutrients in Chaga, and the caring people at the helm of this whole business.  If what we try to build is not built on a solid, honest foundation, there is no amount of strength available to hold it together.  But if a company is built on honesty and integrity there is a chance it will speak to the whole world.

I am honored and excited to be a part of Chaga International and its Mission of Healing One Person at a Time."

Make Each Day a Masterpiece! 

Recently, Coach John Wooden passed away at the age of 99, after leading an amazing and fulfilling life.  Coach Wooden was not only an inspiration to the many athletes he coached and mentored, but he was very well-respected throughout the personal development and business communities.  Many of the elite trainers such as Tony Robbins, often speak of the influence that Coach Wooden had on them, and discuss his life-improvement philosophies as part of their teaching thousands of people around the world on success and achieving a higher quality of life.

John Wooden was a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and as a coach. He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories.  In 2009, John R. Wooden was named The Sporting News "Greatest Coach of All Time”.

John Wooden coached the men’s UCLA Bruins basketball team for 27 years. Under Coach Wooden’s tutelage, UCLA became the only team in history with back-to-back undefeated seasons and won ten national championships in 12 years.
 

            

John Wooden’s accomplishments outside of basketball are many including receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in 2003, and Coach Wooden being listed by Golf Digest as one of four people to hit both a double eagle and a hole in one in the same round of golf. 

He mentored some of basketballs greatest legends, and his wisdom spread to the business community whereby his philosophical lessons helped to build leadership.

He was also the author of numerous books and lectured about coaching, the art of winning, and success in life.
  

Being a great mentor and being a positive inspirational influence on others is what Coach Wooden was known for.  He leaves a proud legacy and is a shining example for us all.

One of the quotes that Coach Wooden is known for is “Make each day a masterpiece”.  I can't think of any better life lesson than to remind ourselves that each day is indeed a blank canvas for us to create whatever we choose.  We so often take the day for granted and before we know it the day passes us by. 
 
Strive to make today and every day a great day – a Masterpiece!

Live Abundantly,

Steve Gould
