			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Journal of Nutrition" href="http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/138/9/1671" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-119" title="researchers" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/researchers-300x225.jpg" alt="researchers" width="300" height="225" />Several studies</a> this year examined the impact of flavanol enriched dark chocolate, like the Xocai chocolate mentioned in the <a title="New York Times" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/10/nyregion/10chocolate.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>, ingestion in adults with hypertension  and impaired glucose tolerance. The study by the researchers at <a title="Tufts University" href="http://hnrc.tufts.edu/1217253305306/HNRCA-Page-hnrca2w_1192109688840.html" target="_blank">Tufts University</a> and the University of L’Aquila, used 1008 mg of a <a title="My Dr. Chocolate" href="http://mydrchocolate.soundconcepts.com/" target="_blank">flavonoid rich cacao</a> product which was divided into 3 daily doses, (the suggested quantity and frequency for therapeutic treatment). This study was compared to one performed at the same time with a flavonoid-free cacao product. They found that the flavanols increased the bio-availability of nitric oxide, and decreased the formation of oxygen and nitrogen free radicals. They also found that the flavanols and resveratrol inhibit IкB kinase, and down regulate nuclear factor-кB (an oxidation pathway which causes blood vessel damage and increases fat-induced insulin resistance).</p>
<p>Researchers found, as others have, that the flavanol-rich cacao improved the dilation abilities of the blood vessels and reversed the dysfunction of the blood vessels of the pre-diabetics, as well as in smokers. In conclusion, the high-dose flavanol cacao improves insulin sensitivity, increases Β-cell function (the cells which produce insulin), decreases blood pressure and increases the flexibility of the blood vessel walls.</p>

With hard work and determination, truly anyone can achieve it.  Here is a brief excerpt from a Xocai distributor&#8217;s recent trip to the Amazon.  How exciting!</p>

<p>&#8220;This was a remarkable expedition myself &amp; Dera took in February into the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest along the Napo River in Ecuador. I’m enclosing some other interesting photo’s. The earth worm’s in the rain forest are close to 5 feet long! Frogs are neon colors and we travelled in dugout canoes with the Indians! Dera (being a Registered Nurse) helped with a Medical Clinic that our group held for the natives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-227" title="Xe" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/XeCan.jpg" alt="Xe" width="200" height="425" />As an Executive Team, we are extremely excited about our upcoming Xe Healthy Energy Drink <a title="X E Energy Drink Link" href="http://www.xe-energy.com/" target="_blank">http://www.xe-energy.com/</a>. As the world’s only energy drink containing the antioxidant power of cacao, Xe also features açaí and 12 other superfruits, all proven to provide healthy and sustainable energy. Xe creates natural energy by including proven ingredients like Theobromine, Maca, Ginseng, Quercetin, Yerba Mate and Guarana — all-natural energy sources. Xe is impressive for what it contains. Just as important is what it does not contain: no added refined sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, no added caffeine, no harsh stimulants, no added synthetics, and no ingredient names you can’t pronounce. Xe has an all-natural ingredient formula for unrivaled energy.</p>
<p>Starting on Monday, November 16th, 2009, our existing USA and Canadian Associates will have the opportunity to pre-order the Xe Healthy Energy Drink. The Xe item code will appear under the Place Order tab found on existing USA and Canadian Back-Offices. When you pre-order your Xe Health Energy Drink your credit card will be charged at that time to secure your Xe. Pre-ordered Xe can be used for reorders and Associate upgrades. USA and Canadian Associates may not use Xe as their auto-ship until after December 7th, 2009. By pre-ordering your Xe you can also earn Gold Bullions towards the 2010 Gold Bullion Reward Trip <a title="Gold Bullion Reward Trip" href="http://www.mxicorp.com/goldbullion/" target="_blank">http://www.mxicorp.com/goldbullion/</a>. Each 24-pack of Xe is worth 0.5 Gold Bullions. All pre-orders will be shipped on the official Xe Launch date of Monday, December 7th, 2009. As a reminder, new MXI Associates will have the opportunity to purchase Xe on their activation orders starting on Monday, December 7th, 2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-176" title="dan" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dan.jpg" alt="dan" width="160" height="281" />Change is an interesting thing. As much as we may not like change, we cannot run, hide or evade it. It will always find us. In fact, the only constant thing in life is change, and the best thing we can do is embrace it.</p>
<p>Three years ago, in July of 2006, I could do no wrong. My division was number one in the country. My homebuyers were raving fans of the company and loved their luxury homes. I had purchased the best land in Reno which took my projections out to 2013. My employees were professional machines all highly trained in their respective duties…all was perfect.</p>
<p>Then, in early 2007, I began to see cracks in the castle wall. As the housing market began to soften, buyers, specifically investors, began to walk away from their deposits, leaving the company with their half finished homes and increasing our inventory of million dollar mansions. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreclosure" target="_blank">Foreclosures</a> began to climb, which flooded the market with even more unwanted homes, and forced our hand into dropping pricing and competing with desperate people wanting to unload their burdens. Consumer confidence became nonexistent.</p>
<p>The housing market, which for five years had gone a 100 miles an hour, hit a brick wall and dried up. We tried every incentive, every trick in the book to bring buyers to the door but with no success. Daily, the media and newspapers underscored the idea that buying a home in today’s failing market would be a catastrophic decision.</p>
<p>As I watched the balance sheet of the division dwindle, it did not take long before I had to lay people off. These were true professionals who were masters of their craft being laid off after, in some cases, decades of service to the company. This had a dramatic effect upon the existing employees’ morale, not knowing what the future held for them and their families.</p>
<p>In May of this year, the decision was made to shut the division down completely except for one small community. The staff, which initially started at 165 employees, was cut to only four, and the doors on the beautiful communities we had built were shut. After 18 years of hard work for this company, it was time for a change.</p>
<p>As much as I, like most of us, do not like change, I can honestly say my change in employment and coming to work at <a href="http://www.mxicorp.com/" target="_blank">MXI</a> has been for the better!</p>
<p>I cannot tell you the gratitude I have for <a href="http://www.mxicorp.com/founders/abrooks.html">Andrew</a>, <a href="http://www.mxicorp.com/founders/jbrooks.html">Jeanette</a> and Marty for giving me this fantastic opportunity. I am appreciative to be in an industry where people are happy, motivated and grateful for their potential. I see hope and excitement in people’s eyes. I see everyone working daily to improve this company and making it stronger today than it was yesterday. We have a fantastic product, and the Brooks have surrounded themselves with incredible employees and distributors. The industry is thriving, and the people are motivated. Our path is clear.</p>
<p>When change comes it often can be painful, often times it can be a struggle, and many times there can be unanswered questions. But I can honestly say, knowing what I know now, the economic downturn was one of the best changes that ever happened to me. Change is good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-208" title="dan" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dan1.jpg" alt="dan" width="160" height="281" />I enjoy buying and selling <a href="http://www.nyse.com/" target="_blank">stock</a> in companies.</p>
<p>After working for a publicly held company for 18 years, I am acutely aware of what it takes to be a publicly held company and the daunting challenge to consistently make a company attractive to investors. In the vernacular of the stock exchange world, few words are sweeter than the words “it’s a buy!”</p>
<p>When analyzing stock, and the thousand theories on which way is best, there are a number of factors to consider. You look at the Price to Earnings ratio over the last quarter and the last 12 months. You evaluate shares outstanding, institutional sponsorship, and don’t forget the all important chart analysis!</p>
<p>Beyond that, there are a two metrics that are paramount. Factors so important that if they do not exist, I won’t buy, regardless of the other great ratios.</p>
<p>First is the leadership of the company. Even if you have a groundbreaking product and all the capital in the world, it <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-209" title="raising stock" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/raising-stock1.jpg" alt="raising stock" width="380" height="248" />means nothing without leadership. I am so grateful to be working with the strong leaders we have in the office and in the field here at <a href="http://www.mxicorp.com" target="_blank">MXI</a>. As someone who spends the majority of my time on the phone with various MXI leaders around the globe, I can assure you that they are impressively smart and are driving this company to succeed!We are all in very good hands. A great example is the recent <a href="http://www.mxicorp.com/thrilling32/downloads/ft_track_bonus_pdf.pdf" target="_blank">Fast Track Rank Advancement Bonus</a>. Our leader, Andrew Brooks, developed this plan to take this business to the next level. When he developed it, he spoke with the upper leadership of this company, and they gave their opinions and support behind this new bonus. Andrew then turned the plan over to our leaders in the field, and their response was unbelievable, bringing up the number of executives from 67 to 81 in one week. A week over week increase of 21%! The following week our <a href="http://www.adampaulgreen.com" target="_blank">leaders</a> advocating this program increased the number of executives from 81 in week 32 to 152 in week 33, which increased the executives an overall 121%!It is an axiom in business and it certainly applies at MXI—leadership is everything.</p>
<p>The second criteria that must exist in a potential investment is what I call the “new” factor. In order to see the explosive growth all investors yearn for, there must be something new to drive the stock price up. Good analyst spend countless hours looking for that one thing that will take the company to the next level. If you can buy into the company before the wave of excitement hits, you can become very rich!As you are all aware, we are on the verge of launching, what I am sure will be a highly successful, antioxidant energy drink. This is not only a “new” product that will increase the product base of all our distributors, but even more importantly will tap into a “new” demographic and a $10 billion a year industry!</p>
<p>MXI is a privately held family owned company that has no interest in turning public. There balance sheet is strong, they have zero debt and love the business and industry they are in. Nevertheless, every fiber in my being is absolutely convinced that any Analyst who knows anything about business, leadership or the potential of a young growing company, would list MXI a very strong “BUY”!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-140" title="andrew" src="http://newyorktimeschocolate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/andrew2.jpg" alt="andrew" width="160" height="281" />When you read a typical corporate mission statement, if you&#8217;re anything like me, your eyes glaze over.  They are typically long, uninspiring messages.  However a mantra, typically short and to the point, represents the quintessential essence of what it is that you are striving to accomplish.  Concise enough that everyone can remember it and powerful enough to inspire all of us to move in unison.</p>
<p>At the 2009 International General Celebration, I announced to over 2,000 Healthy Chocolate Business Owners the new MXI Corp mantra:<br />
“Going <strong>TO THE TOP</strong> in 2009”</p>
<p>Short, sweet, and to the point.  The elegant simplicity of these few words will drive everything that we do as a Company.  Whether it be products, distributor satisfaction, <a title="MyChocolatePod" href="http://www.mychocolatepod.com" target="_blank">personal development</a>, financial freedom, this mantra will be at the forefront of every decision.  It is our hope that you too will make this your personal mantra as you strive to take your Healthy Chocolate Business <strong>TO THE TOP</strong>.</p>
<p>I would challenge you to include these few words in your everyday conversations about the business.  Print it on your business cards, chant it at your next Chocolate Tasting, incorporate it into your lives, and in turn I believe you will be instrumental in bringing our mantra to fruition.</p>
<p>We will make it <strong>TO THE TOP</strong> in 2009, and I am anxious to see who will be there with us!</p>
<p>Learn how to go <a title="AdamGreen" href="http://www.adampaulgreen.com" target="_blank">TO THE  TOP</a> from top distributor Adam Green.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New York Times has published an <a title="New York Times Article" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/10/nyregion/10chocolate.html" target="_blank">article</a> about how “a group seemingly culled from the front page, gossip sheets and back copies of Playbill” are starting to eat and share Xocai Healthy Chocolate. The article goes on to state that “Xoçai has found a foothold among the ladies who lunch — and the men who love them — in New York City”. What is exciting is that Xocai is starting to get real attention. Remember, it took a small conversation between Oprah and Dr. Perricone talking about a special berry that put a particular juice company on the map. Now comes news that the “Xocai Phenomenon” is being picked up by the networks. If you are not involved with Xocai, you owe it to yourself to take a closer look.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know I keep mentioning the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/10/nyregion/10chocolate.html" target="_blank">article in New York Times</a> but I think it&#8217;s significant enough to keep mentioning.  When a publication like that takes interest in your product and marketing it is a good sign.  We&#8217;ll forgive them for calling us the cousin of Amway. ; )  Xocai distributors around the globe have been holding &#8216;tasting parties&#8217; to showcase the quality of Xocai&#8217;s healthy dark chocolate and now they&#8217;re being recognized for it.  What a milestone!</p>
<p>Not only does Xocai chocolate taste great but more and more <a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=studies%20on%20dark%20chocolate&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=ws" target="_blank">substantiated studies</a> are being done to show the nutritional and health properties of dark chocolate.  As a distributor of Xocai I feel it a pleasure to be a part of this company and I welcome you to learn more about Xocai&#8217;s opportunity.  Click the Contact Us page for the information you need to get a hold of me personally.</p>
