A Stranger's Long Distance Call

I was somehow feeling regretful over those online programs I joined when one day, I received a long distance call from someone I never heard from before.

She was from Cebu City, Philippines. She is inquiring about RLR Squalene.

I was not given the chance to tell her how grateful am I to her for after that we never talked again. She just placed the call to inquire in behalf of my first RLR Squalene capsule customer.

After only a few SMS and e-mails, I have learned that trust and hope do emanate from strangers.

And I realized I made a mistake when I thought I could not sell an FB... because my first sale was one MC.

My RLR Squalene Biz...a Flashback!

My family just relocated from the province and I was searching for some opportunities to make an income.

I was actually hoping to find a good job. But for someone who had been confined to fulltime housewifery for almost ten years and already above the common required age requirement plus the fact that I am not very skilled nor of superior intelligence, opportunity, good employment is indeed elusive.

Then a friend introduced the idea of distributing RLR Squalene products. It was actually the first time that I saw a capsule of RLR Squalene. And although I was quite convinced that the product is really of superior quality, I had doubts that I can even sell one family box because I am not good in salestalking.

I was just starting to surf the internet at that time. But recognizing the opportunity to market my products online, I tried to put up my own site. Thanks to Freewebs and their good customer care service that took care of a newbie who didn't even know what html stands for, freewebs.com/aiome was born. I had it published and forgot about it.

Squalene

 

My first encounter with the word "squalene" was about five years ago.

A friend was diagnosed with hepatitis B. Then I heard from another old friend in Manila that she was diagnosed of Colon Cancer (Terminal Case Stage 4)and was told by her doctor that only a miracle could save her. I was told that the latter's liver is also badly affected.

Both friends were taking medicines prescribed by their respective physicians.

Hoping to be informed and understand their illnesses, I tried to make a research by reading articles in magazines and books (I could no longer remember this times). It was from reading that I came across the word "squalene".

At different instances, I told my friends about it. My friend with Hepa-B was apparently taking medicine with squalene content. While my friend with a Big C just listened to me when I told her over the phone about the thing I read on liver illness.

A few months later, I got the chance to visit my friend in Manila. She was telling me how her doctor was amazed to find out that she was still alive after 6 months and without going for check ups anymore.

Later, I learned from her husband that she started taking rlr squalene after I told her about this "squalene" thing and someone introduced the product to her.

After almost 3 years from the time she was told to be fortunate if she can still live for up to 6 months, she did finally succumbed to death. But it was a good thing she was still able to see her baby grow up a little. And it is interesting to note that except for the last few months, she was not bed-ridden during those times as she still did almost every household work.

And my friend with Hepa-B did sent me an SMS saying she has already recovered from her illness.

Maybe, their medicines and food supplements just served them well. But I am sure though that their faith to God did matter a lot too.
