others do the same? That's the goal of HARO friend Phil Mandel –
to take back this country from the ravages of overweight and
obesity. Phil is a Health Coach with the premier health and
weight management system in the nation. I've enjoyed the products
myself, as has my trusty editor Michael. This time-tested program
helps people shed up to 2-5 pounds per week and make that weight
stay off. He is offering you the opportunity to slim down and, if
you LOVE the results you're getting, consider becoming a Health
Coach yourself (no experience necessary). Head over to
http://bit.ly/shapewithphil and see what they have to offer. Then
contact Phil via that website to find out if you qualify. It's
not about selling and it's not about get-rich-quick. It's about
Health.
Made it through the day.

The varied symptoms and side effects caused by lupus can

My article will focus on ways that lupus patients can cope with
-- and try to improve -- these problems. I am seeking real lupus

out ways around these problems to enjoy a satisfying sexual life?
If so, please share your thoughts with me, so readers can benefit
from your wisdom. Lupus patients who wish to share information

when it comes to your children can you never have enough
knowledge?
