We’re in one of the steepest recessions of the last 50 years. Families are making tough decision on what to trim from their budgets and life insurance eventually comes up on the radar. People start to look at the premium they pay for health, life insurance, etc. The whole point of life insurance is that you’re protecting against a future risk. Cancelling the coverage early defeats the purpose. Let’s look at why term life insurance works so well during tough times.

First, let’s take a quick refresher course on why life insurance is so important. It’s easy to look at that monthly premium and say, “Well, I’ve been fine till now…do I really need to keep paying for life insurance?” It’s human nature and especially American nature to put off the future for the now (look at our credit cards and savings rate) but the risk of not having life insurance is too great in relationship to the cost of having affordable term life in place.

At it’s core, life insurance is about replacing income over a long period of time in the event of someone passing away. For a new family, we’re potentially talking about 100’s of thousands of dollars if not millions. In our “without life insurance” article, we address the difficult decisions surviving family members would have to make without this type of protection. It really can throw a family into a tailspin at quite possibly the worst time in their life! It’s bad timing and it’s bad planning. Many of the people we helped sign up for term life insurance recently did so after witnessing the unexpected passing of a friend, co-worker, or family member and the result it had on the family. Nothing drives people to action quicker than seeing what ACTUALLY happens in such a situation. Unfortunately, people need this visceral experience to understand the impact of not having life.

So back to our original intent. We now have established the reason life insurance is so important. What about the economy’s current downturn and potential future financial issues that might hit any given family? That’s why term makes so much sense over options such as whole life insurance. Term’s greatest advantage in a bad economy (or good one for that matter) is the fact that it’s so affordable. A $300 monthly premium for whole life is probably going to hit the chopping block. A $35 term life premium is much more manageable. Whole life insurance is always more expensive than term life and this is exactly what’s at risk when the economy takes a downturn or you are between jobs. The alternative is to buy much less whole life coverage but then this defeats the purpose of the core reason for life insurance to begin with. $50K probably is not going to help much with two young children and a spouse.

Life insurance companies offer many bells and whistles to whole life policies to try and address the issue of cost in tough times through various life insurance riders and cash values. These tend to additional costs or provide a false sense of security since the the underlying cost structure of whole life makes it expensive. A strategy to mirror the effects of these various constructs is to purchase term life and invest the difference in premium. Cover the big risk (loss income from passing away early) and self-insure the add-on’s. You can either have cash value in a life insurance policy for a fee or cash value in your bank/investment account.

If a policy is lapsed during extremely difficult times, you would rather have paid the lower life insurance rates than the much higher whole premium amount. The very advantage of term life insurance…a low rate…makes it extremely well-suited for times in a person’s life when financial health is on life support.

Herbal products have become ever increasingly popular as remedies for everything from skin conditions and hair loss to breast enlargement and increasing sexual vigour and penis size. A large percentage of the consumer dollar in many countries is switching from pharmaceutical based solutions to natural herbal solutions.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, the basic philosophy of herbal based solutions is to correct a deficiency in the body. The human body is designed to correct itself and heal itself and, given the correct nutrients (quite often deficient in our modern diet), will work to correct itself.

Secondly, herbal products do not present the myriad of side effects of many of the chemical based solutions. Chemical based solutions work by replacing some natural function or hormone in the body and therefore work by bypassing the body’s own natural systems. This is ideal for the manufacturer as the consumer becomes reliant on the solution (drug) and this generates an ongoing income stream. Additionally, the side effects create a need for new drugs and there is a snowball effect which all results in more income to the manufacturer.

Herbal based cancer solutions are one area that are especially despised by the vested interests. There are two main solutions that are probably widely known.

The first is Vitamin B17 or Laetrile discovered by Dr Ernst T Krebs Jr. This substance is widely available in a variety of foods, but is especially concentrated in the apricot kernel. Laterile is a concentrated liquid or pill form of B17 that is used in some medical facilities (as in Mexico) but is heavily suppressed in more “civilised” countries. The action of B17 is as follows. The B17 molecule contains two units of glucose, one of benzaldehyde and one of cyanide, all tightly locked together. In this form the cyanide is harmless to the body. There is one enzyme called beta-glucosidase that can “unlock” the cyanide. When the B17 comes into contact with this enzyme both the cyanide and the benzaldehyde are unlocked, and acting together these two substances are very toxic. Fortunately, the only cells that contain the unlocking enzymes are cancer cells. So it acts like a localised natural chemotherapy and targets only the cancer cells.

The second most popular natural solution for cancer is oxygen therapy. The theory behind this goes back to the Nobel prize winning biochemist, Dr Otto Warburg, who discovered that cancer cells could not survive in cells that contains sufficient oxygen content. This was in fact the research rewarded by one of his Nobel prizes for biochemistry. This discovery has led to some disparate solutions. The first is the recommendation of having the correct amount of essential fatty acids – Omega-3, 6 and 9 in the correct proportion (2:1:1) in order to allow oxygen to pass through the cell membrane. This theory is utilise in the popular Budwig diet, where Flaxseed oil and natural cottage cheese are mixed together to deliver this solution. Another remedy utilising the oxygen principle is the application of ozone directly through the skin and through a liquid or sub-lingual spray, thereby greatly increasing the oxygen content of the cells. Both of these solution used in combination would be even more effective.

Another popular area for herbal remedies is herbal breast enlargement. While there are many critics of these products, they continue to sell extremely well. The basic theory here is that in either pill or cream form these products can revive the cell production of breast tissue, experienced during puberty by providing herbal phytoestrogens such as pueraria mirifica (a substance derived from the root of this plant) which is originally from Thailand. They also claim to have other beneficial effects such as being a cancer preventative and also improving skin and hair quality.

While there are many cynics of the herbal remedies, the majority of leading manufacturers offer lengthy guarantees, some as long as 12 months. I don’t know of any pharmaceuticals that offer money back guarantees!
