Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson says they have had more than 16 thousand adverse incident reports that have lead them to their decision. More than 150 deaths have been linked to ephedra, which acts as a stimulant, speeding the heart rate and constricting blood vessels. Ephedra products have been marketed as sports-performance enhancers and energy boosters as well as weight-loss aids. Documented effects from such products include nerve damage, psychosis, heart attacks, strokes and seizures. The ban could take effect by March and comes eight years after the Food and Drug Administration first began receiving reports that the herb used for weight loss and bodybuilding could be dangerous. Thompson and the FDA urged consumers to stop taking ephedra-containing supplements immediately. "Ephedra raises your blood pressure and stresses your system," leading to heart attacks, strokes and death, FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan said. "There are far better, safer ways to get in shape." Even seemingly healthy people who use the recommended doses are at risk, although ephedra is particularly dangerous for anyone with heart disease or high blood pressure or who engages in strenuous exercise, he said. An article in the Seattle Times states: "The announcement of the upcoming ban comes just in time, as many Americans gear up to shed extra pounds in the New Year. The Oxycise! program offers a SAFE and effective way to tone your body and help you lose pounds and inches without resorting to dangerous supplements! With Oxycise! you will: Save time and money, Burn calories faster than traditional exercise, Lose excess fat and inches, Boost your metabolic rate, Increase your energy, Get rid of cellulite, Lower your set point weight, Improve circulation, Lower your resting heart rate and Increase your strength and stamina.

You CAN achieve a more shapely, fit body -- the safe and natural way -- with Oxycise! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *C* Oxycise! Progress Reports ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** VICKI *** "Like most people who are overweight, I have been that way on and off for most of my adult life. By the age of 25 I had tried Weigh Watchers, fad diets, gyms, pills, and aerobics and although I lost weight sometimes, it would always come back in the truckloads. At the age of about 26 I gave up dieting and it was the best thing I ever did - and now, although I don't overeat and I'm vegetarian, I am 34 years old and still overweight and was resigned to it - UNTIL I found Oxycise! "At last, I thought, something that is easy to fit in and is natural. I tried it with much skepticism but was very surprised to find my skirts were looser after only 4 sessions. Then I found the website!!! This has been an inspiration to me - I read everyone's story and looked at all the 'Smiles of Success' stories and pictures, and then I started doing Oxycise daily! That was 3 weeks ago and I have lost 9.5 inches including some off places that I never normally lose weight from - my knees! I get married in 4 weeks and I know I will feel much happier in my dress. I still have a long way to go (about 3 dress sizes) but I know now I CAN do it every day - this is the first thing I have ever been able to stick to and enjoy. My tummy is flatter, my waist is smaller and my face is more defined. I feel better and sleep better and I know one day soon I will fit back into my other wardrobe of clothes!" Vicki Kenny New Zealand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** SUSAN *** "I wasn't extremely overweight, just ten pounds according to my doctor. You'd think that ten would be easy to lose, but it wasn't. Something 'happened' after the age of thirty (could it have been my eating habits, age, hormones, lack of exercise? Perhaps all of the above.) At any rate, I wanted to lose twenty, not the ten that would have put me at the top of the height/weight table in my doctor's office. "Since I wasn't extremely overweight, he didn't want to prescribe any medication for fear of the side effects. However, I wasn't going to be deterred! Whatever it took, I was going to lose those excess pounds. So, I went to a weight loss clinic. I was given a brief physical exam, my weight and measurements were taken and I was given medication. Sure, they gave advice on eating right and exercising, but I was doing all those things for months and nothing had happened. I was desperate for some results. And the diet pills did work, slowly but surely. I lost ten pounds and stopped taking them. The weight came right back, much quicker than it had left. I realized that unless I wanted to take pills for the rest of my life I was going to have to try something else. And who knew what side effects I would have from taking the medication for years at a time? "I heard about those 'weight loss' body wraps. You know the ones...they claim that you'll lose at least six inches in your first visit or your money back. I made the appointment and, yes, I did 'lose' ten inches. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? It's not when you're measured from head to foot. They measured me in so many places (including my jaw and ankles - the only bony places on my body!) I could hardly believe it. They measured my thigh in three places and, of course, they marked each 1/8 inch loss as a success. There wasn't one lasting benefit from the wrap. I lost no weight and the inch loss appeared to be from being bound so tightly for an hour! I could hardly breathe, let alone move around like they wanted me to! "Then, as a massage therapist in a natural healing salon, some of my clients started asking me about natural weight loss methods. I gave them the same line everyone hears about eating right and walking, but I knew I was giving them the same line that I'd been trying to swallow for so long. If walking were such great exercise for weight loss, there wouldn't be any overweight letter carriers in the U.S. Postal Service - but there are many, of course. "So, I decided to do a little more research since I wasn't going to recommend my clients take weight loss pills for life. I got on the Internet and found a fitness bulletin board. I kept reading about something called Oxycise! and how it worked for others. I decided to visit the website. It sounded too simple, too easy to be true. I decided that since I wanted to lose fat and I couldn't recommend anything I couldn't personally endorse to my clients, I ordered the product. Still skeptical, of course. "When it arrived in the mail, I didn't open it for a couple of days. Then one night I was going to get on the treadmill for yet another one hour walk and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I thought about the Oxycise! promise that I'd see results in really a matter of days and I put the tape in the VCR. "It wasn't like anything I'd ever seen before. I watched both tapes through, then decided to try it for myself. Then I did the workout tape. I was still skeptical. I did it the next night. I still didn't believe it would work. Then, on the third day I measured my waist. It was 1/2 smaller than it was on the first day. That's when I started to believe it *might* work. "I haven't lost the twenty pounds I wanted my doctor to help me lose, but the number on the scale has lost it's significance to me. I am losing weight, of course, but I'm losing inches and feeling great! I'm not sweaty or exhausted afterward and I can even sneak in a few positions between appointments. I don't have to work out for hours each week or go nowhere on my treadmill! It's amazing! "I'm totally convinced that if people would just invest a few more dollars, even if it means selling the rest of their exercise equipment in a garage sale to get the few dollars it takes to get the Oxycise! system, and dedicate just a few minutes each day to their health, they would be able to change their lives forever. "It's only been a couple of weeks and I couldn't be happier. I tell my clients about Oxycise! and have even gone so far as to demonstrate the basic breath and a few positions for them. After I tell them about my continuing success, they want to try it, too...I know they'll love it as much as I do. "You and I know there's no better way to invest fifteen minutes a day and it's something that you can follow along with in the book, so after they get the basic breath down, they don't even have to watch the video tape - they can do the whole routine in less than the time it takes them to watch one half-hour sitcom. "I wish you continued success in your life...and thanks for changing mine!" Sincerely, Susan B. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please share YOUR progress with us! mailto:julie@oxycise.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *D* Sharing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Comments from our Files "I've been enjoying Oxycise! for months with great results!! After trying every diet advertised to lose weight right down to vegetarianism, and exercise videos, and diet pills, I am happy to say Oxycise! is the big winner. It's the best thing to happen to me. I've lost inches everywhere, I've lost almost 30 lbs, feel energized, have no need for antidepressants... feel more focused at any task, especially at work. Anyone who wants to lose weight and has failed can finally succeed in merely 15 minutes a day." Thanx Jill. Lisa "I have been overweight for quite a few years I have tried almost anything and everything: pills, shakes, patches, high protein, low-fat, no-fat, you name it, I tried it. I can't even imagine how much money I have spent on these programs that simply don't work. The only thing I ever found to be successful was step aerobics, but it really hurt my knees, not to mention that it took quite awhile to see any results. "I just completed my first week of Oxycise! and I can't even put into words how thrilled and amazed I am.... I have lost 6 pounds and 12.5 inches! I am so thrilled with the loss, but I am even more amazed at the energy I have."

Do the same thing tomorrow, and then the next day." --- Jill Johnson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* A New YOU! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's something almost magical about the beginning of a new year -- it inspires us to reach for the stars" and think about what we want to accomplish and who we really want to be. Imagine that person you want to become this year -- the "new you." What is she like? How is she different from who you are now? What small changes could you make, day by day, to help you become more like HER? If your "new you" is a more physically fit, trim version of yourself, then Oxycise! can help you find her! But like brushing your teeth and other good daily habits, Oxycise! is something that needs to be done on a consistent, daily basis if you want to produce long-range benefits as well as the small rewards that will come along the way. This will require some time and effort on your part, but compared to what you GET for your time it's a real BARGAIN! The consequences of not doing Oxycise! may include: Staying "where you are now" -- possibly overweight and unhealthy Weight-related health problems: hypertension, high cholesterol, Low self-esteem Inability to move easily Not being able to wear clothes you like Low energy level, low activity level Now consider the immediate and long-term results of spending just 15 minutes or so doing Oxycise! 5 or 6 times a week: Lose weight and inches. Live longer. Get an aerobic workout without leaving home and in less time Burn calories faster than traditional exercise. Boost your metabolism. Improve your energy. Get rid of cellulite. Lower your set point weight. Improve your circulation. Lower your resting heart rate. Increase your strength and endurance. Every morning this week, while you are brushing your teeth, think about the long-term consequences of the small choices we make every day! A fifteen minute Oxycise! workout represents a mere 1/96th of a 24-hour day! Is it worth the effort it takes to do it?

Progress Reports ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** GAIL *** "HI! I have been doing Oxycise! for 2 weeks with amazing results...I have lost 2 pounds and a total of 7 inches, which to me is a miracle...I decided to do no other exercises for a month except for Oxycise! just to see if what everyone has been saying is true... Well, it is! For the past 4 months, I had been going to a Gym (concentrating on cardio) to get rid of the fat with no substantial results. Also, I had been doing workouts at home (Total Gym, Walker)... In two weeks I have gotten more results with Oxycise! than I have for all my time and effort with traditional exercise..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ELIZABETH **** "I was so Psyched up to start Oxycising that I didn't wait for the New Year. I began on December 28th and as of January 11th (the 2 week mark) I was totally amazed and astounded with the following results: "I've Lost 7.4 pounds but more importantly is the amount of inches I've dissolved with free oxygen: Chest-- Minus 1.5 inches "Wasteland"-- Minus 4--yes 4-- inches Lower Abdomen-- Minus 2 inches Hips-- Minus 2 inches Thighs-- Minus 1 inch "Now that's JUST the major areas I've measured. All together in 2 weeks' time I've dissolved 12 inches of fat just by increasing my oxygen intake with the 15 minute workout once a day. I plan on increasing to 2 workouts a day when I'm able, however, if I continue to do well with just the one workout---well then so be it. Thank you Jill! "Keep on breathing!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** CHRISTINE *** "I tried my best to keep my mouth shut (haha) during the holiday season, But found myself eating just a 'sliver' of the sweet stuff here and there. I did my breathing routine as often as I could and would you believe I came home 4 pounds lighter?!! What a way to start the new year rolling, I love this. Thank You Jill!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please share YOUR progress with us! mailto:julie@oxycise.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *D* OxyTIPS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In her book "Chart Your Success" Jill says, "Keep the score, know the score, and the score will improve." She recommends testing your body fat percentage as well as weighing and measuring--to help you get a TOTAL picture of the changes that will happen in your body. Jill recommends getting a body fat percentage calculation done before you begin Oxycise! or early in your Oxycise! program -- then getting a follow-up reading taken from time to time ...perhaps every 4-8 weeks. By doing this you will probably see a quicker change in your body than if you rely on the scale and tape measure alone. In fact, you may see a change in body fat percentage even when there is NO CHANGE on your scale (or possibly even a small increase in pounds). We have received letters from very fit athletes -- people who weren't even trying to lose weight -- who have reported a decrease in their body fat percentage after doing Oxycise! for a few weeks. Those of you who ARE trying to lose weight would probably see changes fairly quickly if you could monitor your body in this way. One athlete even reported to us that she gained 5 pounds in spite of improved performance and increased muscle strength. She wasn't as concerned as most of us would be -- she knew that the weight gain was due to the building of extra muscle tissue. We receive letters from some of you who are very alarmed when you see the scale go UP a few pounds! You may be burning fat and building muscle at the same time -- or it could be just the normal ups and downs that happen on the scale from day to day. If you aren't monitoring your body fat percentage, you may be inclined to "freak out." If the scale does go up a little, don't panic!! If you are being consistent in doing your Oxycise! workouts and not going crazy with your eating habits, things will eventually level out and you WILL see positive changes, not only in body fat percentage but on your tape measure and scale too.

Newsletter, a weekly publication to help you in your quest for the body you want and deserve! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* Put Oxycise! to the TEST! *B* "New Year -- New You!" SPECIAL *C* Progress Reports *D* Sharing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I did high - impact aerobics for years and have had better results with Oxycise! than any other exercise." ~ Susie Nelson, Houston, TX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* Put Oxycise! to the TEST! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would you believe us if we told you that you can get equally good, if not BETTER results by doing Oxycise! than by working out at the gym? These people didn't believe it either! Erica writes, "I have been doing Oxycise! for 3 weeks now and have taken (measurement as of today) almost 2 inches off each of my thighs and two inches off my waist. I have muscle definition on my arms and legs. Last week, I had my husband do an Oxycise! challenge, since he has been doing it every morning with me, but weight lifts and does treadmill at the gym. He did Oxycise! two to three times a day -- he would have felt lazy doing anything less with all that working out at the gym. He remarked to me that his upper arms have never felt so firm even after a month of weight lifting. He has definition in his calves that I have not seen there before. In his upper legs too. He also has lost 3 inches off his waist and abs in the past three weeks. The week he did Oxycise! alone he gained near 1/2 an inch in his upper arms in muscle." Leigh Ann writes: "My results have been more than I could have ever hoped for. I have been doing level 1 for one month today. I also do the commuter tape each morning on the way to work and sneak in breaths whenever possible all day long. I make sure I get in at least 64 oz of water or more a day and try to always make wise food choices. So far I have lost 15 lbs and 18 inches! I feel better than I did when I was working out at a gym three times a week, much more alert. I truly believe in this program." Lisa wrote: "I have been using Oxycise! for about 1 year now. I heard about it from my sister Kathy. I was a little skeptical about it at first because I didn't believe it would really work. I saw the results my sister was getting from Oxycise! so I figured I would give it a try. I began Oxycising and after 4 weeks I noticed a difference. I am not overweight at all, I just wanted to use Oxycise! to get healthy and get tone. I have a membership to a gym and tried working out there. I did some aerobics classes and some high impact workouts and didn't really see results, not to mention the fact that it was hard for me to catch my breath while doing those high impact classes. I also tried Tae Bo for a couple months. I noticed results faster doing Oxycise! than I did doing any of the other workouts. I feel energetic and I don't have to worry about trying to catch my breath. My skin has gotten clearer doing Oxycise! also. I really enjoy doing Oxycise! and it is now a part of my every day routine." Lisa Miler South Carolina Linda from Minneapolis writes, "I hope you make the decision to try Oxycise! - and really give it the effort it deserves! I tried it after putting years in at a gym and was surprised and thrilled with my results! ...when you really do it as Jill teaches it you become better at it every day - you never outgrow it - as your strength, etc grows, you then press harder, breathe more effectively, tone your muscles even more, etc. One benefit no one talks about much - because in overall health it's not important - but your skin becomes firm and beautiful - people cannot believe your age - have you other girls noticed this also? Health begins with the courage to take that first step and then the commitment to stick with it and really do it. You will not believe how good you feel physically and mentally if you do - plus the firming, inches lost, etc! ...it all starts with one step at a time! As you can tell - I love Oxycise!" We challenge YOU to put Oxycise! to the test! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LISA's EXPERIMENT In 1998 Lisa Arendell wrote to us: "I have been doing Oxycise! for about 2-1/2 weeks now. Being a Personal Trainer, Assistant Manager, and the club Aerobics Coordinator, I stay in pretty good shape. But I quit doing all forms of cardio and weight training at the beginning of March waiting for the Oxycise! program to come in.

| *************** OXYCHAT! *************** January 27, 2004 Welcome to the Oxycise! Newsletter, a weekly publication to help you in your quest for the body you want and deserve! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* LAST CHANCE! -- "New Year, New You!" SPECIAL!!! *B* "The Long Haul" *C* Progress Reports *D* Sharing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Order by this Friday for great Oxycise! savings! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* LAST CHANCE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Only FOUR days left on our "New Year -- New You!" SPECIAL!!! Oxycise! is the perfect way to achieve your goals in a successful and safe way, so let us help you with our "New Year -- New You Special!" Now's the time to take control -- with Oxycise! you have the power! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *B* "The LONG Haul" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagine that a kind and generous friend offers to give you a special gift: a brand new car! But there's a catch: You can have the car right now IF you are willing to give it back to him in 6 months. OR... You can work for him for a year, and the car will then be your's to keep. The drawback is that you won't get it immediately ... and you'll have to work for it. But at the end of 12 months, it's your's for good. Which is the "better deal?" I think most of us would agree that it would be better to get the car permanently. But how many of us would be tempted to take the "instant" reward, even though it might not last? This little story illustrates the same kind of dilemma that many people face with weight loss -- should you choose an "instant," "quick-fix" diet, or some other drastic weight loss "solution," even though it may not be healthy and goes against your common sense, and even though you have no intention of following that kind of eating plan for the rest of your life? Or should you choose a plan that is safe and will produce permanent results, even though it will take time and effort on your part? Sadly, too many people choose "instant results" at the expense of health. Most "fad diets" and unbalanced eating plans WILL produce quick results on the scale, but it's often due to dehydration and loss of muscle. They can also result in saggy skin and possible health problems later. And people who follow fad diets usually gain back all the weight they lost -- and then some -- when they go back to their usual eating habits. It's human nature to want quick results -- delayed gratification isn't easy! But the BEST way to lose weight is to do it the smart way -- by taking things "slow and steady," by toning and preserving your muscle mass, and by making gradual, positive changes in your daily exercise and eating habits so that your "normal" way of life becomes a HEALTHY way of life. By doing these things over time you will automatically become a more slender, healthy individual. The goal of the Oxycise! program is to help you achieve weight loss success for "the long haul," by encouraging you to make healthy lifestyle changes and to make Oxycise! a part of that lifestyle. Oxycise! is not intended to be a "quick fix," so it WILL take time and consistent effort to achieve your goals. But if you "Keep on Breathin' " your results will be "for keeps!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *C* Oxycise! Progress Reports ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** LINDA *** January 22, 2004 "Hello, I started the Oxycise! program almost a year ago. I started doing level 1 and am now up to level 3. I plan to start doing level 4 very soon. I often rotate the tapes and that seems to keep all my muscles in use. I do one of the levels every day except Sunday. I just can't do without my Oxycising!!! Since I have been on the Oxycise! program, my muscles have firmed as if I were 20 years younger. I am 57 years old. I look forward to it every morning. The deep breathing, flexing and stretching wake me up and I'm ready for the day. I haven't lost any weight because I am a small person to begin with. But I was very flabby because of my age. Now I have muscles that I didn't even have when I was younger. My husband is always commenting on how firm and tight my body is now!!! By the way, my husband also does the Oxycise! with me when he can. He also loves it. Another thing about the Oxycising is the mental wellbeing it gives me every day. The extra oxygen I get seems to give me a natural high. I just can't say enough about how great I feel. Thank you Jill for the wonderful Oxycise! program." Sincerely, Linda Knee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ERIKA *** January 23, 2004 "Hi Julie, I didn't know where to send my comments so I'm sending them to you. Seven weeks ago I had major abdominal surgery and was hospitalized for 6 days. Two weeks after my surgery my pain had diminished considerably but I was extremely weak and tired and, naturally couldn't do any exercise so I decided to Oxycise! to see if it would help me. Now I'm going to sound like a commercial. I did the Level 1 workout very carefully and gently to make sure I didn't hurt anything and was amazed that immediately after my workout I felt some energy returning, so I continued to Oxycise! every day thereafter. Here is what happened. My abdomen was quite swollen from the surgery and within two weeks the swelling went down considerably, my energy level was back to normal at 4 weeks after the surgery (after 2 week of doing the Oxycise! workout), and best of all I have lost an additional inch off my waist and hips and have amazing energy. "Oxycise! works very well, especially when done 6 days a week. Glad I stumbled on it." Erika T.

(Here's a response to last week's email about "OxyLizard") "I had to smile when I read the story about 'Oxylizard,' the iguana who likes Oxycise! I have been involved with Oxycise! since October 2000. Last year we acquired a dog from the pound. He is a Basenji & his name is Skip. "I have meant to take a picture of him to send in for you guys to see him 'Oxycising' with one of the videos on in the background. I know it is just coincidence, but I swear it looks like he really is doing some of the stretches with me...especially the recurrent one he does of 'bowing down' in the front & sticking his rear end up in the air. He is my faithful companion anytime I work out with an Oxycise! video. "So, now we have Oxylizard & Oxydog...wonder how many other Oxycise animals there are out there?!"
