very road has potholes, and every path has obstacles. No
E matter who you are, no matter what you do or where you go,
you’ll have to face challenges and overcome problems. Success
in life and the measure of our worth doesn’t come from avoid-
ing problems—it comes from how we react to adversity and
deal with difficulties.
When plans go awry and things don’t go your way, it’s easy to
throw up your hands and give up. But raising the white flag is
the mark of a quitter. Those who triumph in the end—the true
champions—are those who pick themselves up off the floor and
continue on until victory is achieved.
At Synergy, we’re fighting every day to make the company
stronger, better, and more successful. We’re fighting to find
solutions to the inevitable problems of a growing company, and
we’re taking on all comers to give our talented distributors the
tools they need to thrive and prosper.
During the past year, we opened numerous markets and
products like Mistica and Dr. Ann de
Wees Allen’s revolutionary Encode
to ensure our position as the most
innovative natural health company
in the world.
Distributors can prepare themselves
for success in many ways. One
important method that I strongly rec-
ommend is to attend the regional events and take advantage of
the opportunity to network with fellow distributors and Synergy
executives. At each regional event you’ll have the opportunity to
hear a variety of guest speakers who will offer tips and tricks on
building your business, understanding the compensation plan,
and recruiting for your downline. You’ll also have a chance to
meet gifted medical experts like Dr. Allen and Dr. Jack Pfeifer
and reap the benefits of their vast knowledge about Synergy
products. Regionals are your best opportunity to make the most
of your time and maximize your success.
I look forward to the coming year with tremendous optimism
and hope. I know the road will not always be smooth, but I have
complete confidence that Synergy’s management team and tal-
ented group of distributors can steer the company to the ulti-
mate goal of becoming the most successful network marketing
company in the world. I’m eager to meet as many of you as I can
in the coming months, and I wish each of you happiness and
good luck for the rest of 2006.

The Glycemic Index

The Key Code to Obesity and Diabetes
By Dr. Ann de Wees Allen
Chief of Biomedical Research
Glycemic Research Institute

Part V: In this article I’ll look at the role of the

glycemic index in cancer, birth defects, sexual
function, and male vertex baldness. I’ll also exam-
ine the clinical benefits of a low glycemic lifestyle.

A growing body of clinical evidence has shown that

ingestion of high glycemic foods increases risk of
cancer in humans. According to researchers at the
Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and
Women’s Hospital, and the Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute, a diet high in high glycemic foods,
such as potatoes, rice, and white bread can
increase the risk of pancreatic cancer in
women who are overweight and sedentary.

r. Charles Fuchs of Dana-
D Farber Cancer Institute
states, “Our findings add to the
growing body of evidence that
suggests insulin may have a role
in the development of pancreat-
ic cancer.” Insulin is over-ele-
vated by consuming high
glycemic foods, snacks, and
drinks. Pancreatic cancer is typ-
ically highly aggressive, with a 4
percent survival rate five years
after diagnosis.
Researchers focused on foods
that raise blood glucose levels
and reasoned that if insulin
fuels the growth of
pancreatic cancer,
then high glycemic
foods and diets that
trigger large
amounts of insulin should be
associated with a greater occur-
rence of the disease. The study
revealed that women who had
high glycemic loads were 53 per
cent more likely to develop pan-
creatic cancer than those with
low glycemic loads.
Colorectal and Breast Cancer
In the 2004 February issue of the
Journal of the National Cancer
Institute,
researchers
reported
that diets
with high
glycemic loads could increase
the risk of colorectal cancer. The
researchers concluded that diets
with a high glycemic load could
increase cancer risk by over-
stimulating insulin and exacer-
bating C-reactive protein.
Researchers have also identified
the precise mechanism by which
high glycemic foods (foods that
stimulate adipose tissue fat stor-
age) increase risk of breast can-
cer. After menopause, breast
cancer risk increases exponen-
tially. Following menopause, the
ovaries stop making the female
hormone estrogen, which is a
“fuel” that promotes breast can-
cer. This would indicate that
breast cancer rates decrease
after menopause, but the oppo-
site occurs.
During and after menopause,
the adrenal glands continue to
produce small amounts of a

Glycemic Index (Continued from Page 4)
steroid called androstenedione,
which is converted to estrogen
in fat tissue. The more fat tissue,
the more estrogen. Weight gain
and obesity greatly increase
after menopause due to
decreases in growth hormone
and other fat-burning hor-
mones.
As fat cell size and number
i n c r e a s e, e s t r o g e n l e v e l s
increase, causing elevated risk
of breast cancer. Reducing the
consumption of fat-storing food
and drinks (high glycemic foods
and drinks) reduces estrogen
levels, thus reducing risk of
age-related breast cancers.
Some Other Factors
Hyperglycemia (high blood
sugar levels) is commonly man-
ifested in cancer patients (1).
High glycemic foods, sugars,
and carbohydrates that elevate
blood glucose are strongly asso-
ciated with the risk of cancer (1)
( 2 0 0 5 ) . A d d i t i o n a l l y, h i g h
glycemic intake is associated
with poorer survival after diag-
nosis in breast cancer.
Consumption of high glycemic
foods and drinks promotes the
four major proximate dietary
causes of insulin resistance (2).
High glycemic snacks and meals
results in higher mean 24-h
blood glucose and insulin con-
centrations (2), and the devel-
opment of insulin resistance (3).
The degree of acute hyper-
glycemic (high blood glucose)
and hyperinsulinemic respons-
es to dietary carbohydrates is
primarily dependent on the
glycemic index and glycemic
load (2). High glycemic load
foods and drinks initiate an
insulin-induced hypoglycemia
cycle followed by hyperphagia
( s t r o n g c r a v i n g s f o r, a n d
Leave a Legacy
increased consumption of high
glycemic carbohydrates).
L-Arginine Metabolism
Clinical studies have shown that
high glycemic L-arginine for-
mulas blunt the effectiveness of
the amino acid and prevent it
from crossing the blood-brain
barrier and providing anti-
aging benefits. High glycemic L-
arginine formulas are those that
contain sucrose, maltodextrins,
dextrins, dextrose, glucose poly-
mers, and other high glycemic
ingredients.
Other Health Benefits
Hormonal interaction caused by
hyperglycemia (high blood
sugar) has recently been linked
to male vertex balding (2). Per-
sons who have continual and/or
chronic high blood sugar are
twice as likely to develop gum
disease (gingivitis) with tooth
loss.
In 2003, researchers at the Uni-
versity of California at Berkeley
(American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition. Vol 78, #5) found that
intake of sugars and foods with
a high glycemic index doubled
the risk of having a baby with
neural tube defects.
The researchers revealed that
high glycemic foods are associ-
ated with risk of birth defects in
offspring, even among non-dia-
betic women. In obese women
(BMI greater than 29), the risk
was fourfold.
Low glycemic
diets, foods, and
drinks can
decrease total
body mass and
increase lean
body mass.
Clinical Benefits of a Low
Glycemic Lifestyle
Clinical studies have shown that
low glycemic foods, drinks, and
nutraceuticals are beneficial to
humans. Here are some quotes
from various medical publica-
tions. Dr. David Ludwig stated,
“Based on our results, and sev-
eral dozen other clinical trials
and epidemiological studies, I
would recommend eating foods
with a low glycemic index.” The
American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, May 2005.
“Clinical use of glycemic index
february 2006
as a qualitative guide to food
selection would seem prudent
in view of the preponderance of
evidence suggesting benefit and
absence of adverse effects.” The
Journal of the American Medical
Association (AMA) May 8, 2002.
A 2004 study in Lancet showed
that, “Low Glycemic diets led to
weight loss, reduced body fat,
and reduction of risk factors for
diabetes and cardiovascular
disease.”
The clinically proven benefits of
low glycemic diets, foods, and
drinks have been determined as:
• Decrease in total fat mass
• Increase in lean body mass
without loss of muscle
mass/muscle tissue
• Lower postprandial plasma
glucose and insulin profiles
• Lower plasma triacylglycerol
• Decreased Lipoprotein Lipase
• Decreased hormone-sensitive
lipase mRNA in subcutaneous
abdominal adipose tissue (fat)
Research has conclusively
proven that controlling the
glycemic index of foods and
drinks ingested allows for con-
trol over food-driven fat stor-
age, insulin stimulation, reac-
tive hypoglycemia, as well as
exacerbation and development
of obesity, metabolic syndrome,
insulin resistance, and type 2
diabetes.

SYNERGY WISDOM
Reclaim Your Life
with Patience
Speed rules in America. Fast food, fast drivers,
instant replay, hopped-up technology, and frantic
shopping make the American landscape a place
of continual frenzy and endless striving. Every-
thing must happen right now, and if it doesn’t,
we stamp our feet and complain bitterly.
mpatience, or “hurry sickness,” is an
I epidemic that infects more and more
people each day. If you go into a rage at
the sight of a traffic jam, push the eleva-
tor button repeatedly, or speed away
from stop signs, you’re probably suffer-
ing from this malady. If you multitask
while driving, fume and mutter while
waiting in a line, worry constantly about
having enough time, or yell “hurry!” at
the microwave, you definitely have it.
Hard work is a virtue, and we all want to
get the most out of each day, but our caf-
feinated lifestyle can leave us limp with
exhaustion and wrung out with stress.
The demand for instant gratification
doesn’t seem to pay off with instant hap-
piness. In fact, the more we rush, the
more irritable we become. If we can’t
enjoy what we have, or if we feel the
future pressing in on us constantly,
what’s the point of all our headlong activ-
ity? Ultimately, by worrying about doing
more in less time, we actually end up
doing less in more time.
The truth is that we can accomplish more
and have more fun by relaxing a little bit
and learning patience. We often think of
Leave a Legacy
patience as a
quality we need
to trot out only in
certain situa-
tions, such as
when dealing
with an unruly
child or while
standing in a line. But that’s not true.
Start by thinking of patience as a quality
you can always possess. When you
hurry, your energy is dispersed in all
directions. Becoming patient allows you
to be more centered and focused, more
in tune with your body’s rhythms and
natural desires.
Slow down and live
Slowing down isn’t easy. When you’re
rewarded all your life for being the
fastest, earliest, or first in line, it takes
some doing to step back and let events
unfold at their own, slower pace. Despite
the difficulty, it’s worth the effort. Here
are some techniques you can use to begin
the process:
Look at the world in a new way
“If there is a remedy, what is the use of
frustration? If there is no remedy, what is
february 2006
the use of frustration?” These words
express how patience can guide us
through a world that rarely works the way
we want. If you believe some problem in
your life has a solution, take steps to rem-
edy the situation. If the situation can’t be
changed, accept that fact and live with it.
Mental anguish, aggravation, and hurry
solve few problems. When you give up
control, you gain tranquility.
Focus on one thing at a time
Mindfulness is at the heart of patience
and the key to centering your life. When
you juggle several tasks at once, you’re
neglecting what you’re doing right now.
Learn to train your concentration on the
task at hand, inhabit the moment, and put
everything else aside.

years, and your life will completely
change!”

Anyone who meets Chanida comes

away convinced of her love of Synergy
and her profound conviction of the
company’s great destiny. “I’m grateful to
be part of Synergy,” she says. “I appreci-
ate Dan and his vision, and I thank
Keith Halls for his leadership and for
bringing me here. It’s like a family, with
such warmth and concern. Now we’re
ready to make a huge wave with our
new Encode product. I can’t wait!”

Most of all, Chanida thanks God for her

good luck and fortunate life. With a sup-
portive family and a great company to
be part of, she wants to work hard, then
give back and serve God in some way.
“Money is good because it enables you
to help others,” Chanida says. “I want to
have the opportunity to be of some
service. I don’t know yet how I’ll do it,
but when the time comes, God will show
me what He wants.”

The power of Synergy rests on the

quality, uniqueness, and strength of our
products. If you have any questions
