It's almost 2006 already. I'm still getting used to the idea that we're in the 21st Century! Sigh.

This issue, we'll take a look back at the year on HerbaCall. There's been a lot going on, and it's worth revisiting it.

I'm also going to share a real treat with you.

Let me wish you the happiest, healthiest, and safest of holiday seasons as we make the step from 2005 to 2006.

Newsletters for 2005

Site Changes

This year we implemented a significant expansion to the Resource Center, adding sections focused on specific health issues

plus a Business Resource Center. They're still growing.

We also added an RSS feed that reports on the latest testimonials added to the database, just in case you really really want to stay right on top of things.

Some Statistics

We currently have almost 500 testimonials in our database, almost 250 recipes, and have had almost 16,000 people subscribe over the past few years, between free trials and paid memberships.

Our members represent almost 50 countries, including (believe it or not) Anguilla, Barbados, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Jamaica, Lebanon, Namibia, Portugal, Thailand, and Uzbekistan, just to name a few.

The majority of our members come from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. Not surprising that it's English-speaking coutries. We've toyed with the idea of creating translations of the site. It's a LOT of work.

Here's an amazing statistic: since we began tracking what testimonials were being viewed, there have been 371,392 (that's almost FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND) testimonials viewed on HerbaCall! You can see which are the most popular (the top 10) on the site here

And, by the way, just in case you didn't know it was there, there's a link that shows just the testimonials added in the last 30 days.

And now, the special treat!

I received a small, wonderful package the other day. I'd been expecting - even anticipating - the package, after having had an unusual telephone conversation.

I can tell you without a doubt the small gift inside has changed the way I look at my life and the world around me.

What I found were three beautifully packaged and designed books, each combining together to create a complete series.

I sat at my desk and decided to page through the first book a little, just to give it a quick glance before I filed it away.

But then something unexpected happened.

In my line of work as a speaker and as founder of BackOfTheRoom.com, I receive countless books and programs to review, but most don't offer anything substantially different from the rest of the pack.

This one was different.

Truth be told, as I read the first few pages I actually thought I was reading a fictional story; the story was just too amazing to be real.

But it was real.

I was hooked from the beginning, finishing the nearly 300-page book in just a few days, even going back over entire chapters that really hit home for me.

I've never read anything like this before - a true-life story more like something you'd expect to see in the movies.

So many extraordinary experiences, so many invaluable lessons.

The reason this package reached me was that good fortune had brought me in contact with the author, Dr. Michael Norwood. Michael and I had a couple of telephone conversations, and he offered to send me his books as a gift.

He also hoped that I would share his story and message with others, which is the reason I'm bringing to you this very special edition.

Along with teaching you my own ideas and techniques to help you succeed, I have the unique privilege of bringing you the very best of many books and programs that are available.

Instead of spending all of your time looking for the keys to a better life, I can share with you the resources that have already proven themselves to work time and again.

And Dr. Michael Norwood's story, and its insights, have been proven to work each and every time.

As you may already know, this is the first time in our history that I've focused on someone else's story and message.

But after reading his work, it's something I couldn't keep to myself. I want nothing more than to help you achieve a healthy, happy, and successful life, and this book will do more to make that happen than most any other book I've read.

Now, I could go on and on about his story and what I've learned from it, but I would rather give you the chance to read it yourself, which brings us to the main reason I'm sharing this with you today.

Because I'd never want to take up your valuable time without giving you something valuable in return, I've a worked out a great deal for you.

In return for my sharing his remarkable story with you, Dr. Norwood has agreed to send you his three-book series absolutely f'ree for 21 days.

With nothing to lose and everything to gain, now is your chance to take action and learn from a man who has been through the most unbelievable circumstances and gained insights you may never be able to realize on your own.

This book will impact every area of your life, and give you answers to the questions I know you've been asking for many, many years.
