Hello readers! I found an amazing business opportunity and I would love to share it with you!
2 months ago I was sick and exhausted in bed and tired of it! :p A little birdy whispered in my ear to go get a cleanse and that would help. After the doctors did a CT scan and found nothing I called Vicki for a colon hydrotherapy appointment.
Now I feel like a completely different person! My face has cleared up, my lower back doesn't hurt constantly, and I am not as tired as I used to be! Since Vicki helped me...now I'd like to help others too!
Here is the letter I wrote to my mentor, Vicki Talmage

Help Single Mother become a Colon Therapist! Even $10 would help! :) If 400 people gave only $20 that would cover the training costs! :)

My Dearest Vicki,

The past year being on my own I found the first job that I thought I could get. After 4 months I quit because I knew I was meant to do and be something more. Have you ever felt you were supposed to make a difference in the world for the betterment of others? Well, I was waiting and praying for that opportunity to arise.

About a month ago my health had deteriorated to an all-time low. I was in bed most of the day from horrible back pain, and my kidney started to hurt as well. The doctors found nothing in modern medicine so I knew I had to go a natural route, not main stream. I remembered meeting you and buying your book a few years ago when you did a Noah’s event. Back then I thought, “Ya, eating greens first would be better,” but I was still too addicted to sugar…still am. But the difference now is I am willing to stop to change my path and create a better future with my health and for my family! And I wanted to do a cleanse back then, but wasn’t in a financial position to do so.

About a month ago your book and name popped into my head. SO I called to make an appointment, knowing this was one way I could feel better. Because I’ve learned that when there are problems with the skin, there is a problem in the gut. So I decided to start there since I’ve had IBS since I was a child!

During my first visit, I was curious how you became a colon-therapist and I asked lots of questions, and my mind was racing thinking could this be for me? Now I didn't want a job just to have a job I wanted to make a difference in the world and I believe this is what Heavenly Father wants me to do. Granted poop or the colon was not on my top priority list of occupations. But what really matters to me, is if I’m truly helping others that's all I really care about I just want to be able to make a difference in other people's lives. And over this past month only seeing you 4 times, I have grown to love you like an awesome cool big sister I never had!

My vision started with lots of ideas! I would love to not only work at the clinic up to 25 hours to 30 hours a week but I would love to start doing YouTube videos and showing people how to eat healthier foods like sprouting beans, and all of your recipes in your book!

I know I'm not supposed to do a nine to five job, at least not in the typical sense, but being a part of the Vitae Health umbrella would bring me tremendous satisfaction! Your products alone would be worth it! But on top of that, the possibility that I get to have you as a trainer, a mentor, and a new friend! Your method is supreme, I love all the knowledge you share with others and I would like to help with that. Maybe even help you compile a booklet or pamphlet to let clients read so they know the importance of why the certain foods, the wheatgrass, etc.! I personal am a seeker of truth and I love knowing the why behind everything and the science of food and our bodies fascinate me! I believe others would be more willing to follow the program if they know the whys as well!

After two years when all my children are all in school, I plan on increasing my hours. I think we can figure things out with all the details. I’m not certain where the finances will come from but I have faith that my path is intertwined with yours and Divine Providence will show us the way!

I already have a ton of ideas on what I could do to add to your business. I am proficient in computers and can help with the website, You Tube, Social Media, or even a Blog if you wish and many more things! One of my gifts is to see how to streamline things and make them work more smoothly.

I believe with your help at first and tutelage I can have a solid client base to add to yours! I still even see an office being opened up in Utah County in the future and would love to help make all that happen and more!

After coming to see you Vicki, I have come alive again! I felt like I’ve been sleep walking the past few years and not just because I’m on my own right now but because of the deterioration of my physical and emotional health. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for awaking my soul to my true purpose.

Together I believe we can accomplish many great and amazing things! I love being a Mother and even though I stink at staying home I am definitely more productive when I’m busy and have things to do outside of the home. Somehow my home life gets in order when I feel like I can be more than a homemaker! I would love to start a new journey with you and be your intern! J

For the first time in the past few years I feel like I can help my family and support us financial with this opportunity. Thank you for helping me to find hope again.

All my Love,

Marianne Merrill

After she read the letter I needed to find the funding so here I am. I'm looking into Small business loans, but without a job, collateral, or decent credit my chances are slim to none!

I found a possible source but the funds aren't all I need so my Mother created a gofundme.com account.

Here is my business plan below! :) Happy Reading but if I were you, just watch this AWESOME video it sums it up nicely and not as borning as a business plan! :))

For a descriptive You Tube video to explain why we all need a cleanse at least once in our life go here: https://youtu.be/PV4rowSN_AQ?t=6m33s

Parasite Cleanse - "What's eating you?"

So that should sum it all up...I know a bit boring but this will definitely help me and my little family!

I have 5 children at home, 1 living with her father, and 5 more steppie children!!! :)YUP ELEVEN CHILDREN!!! And one is married so 12! We count him too :) ... Kylie is missing in this pic she is 23 and was working. This was the youngest B-day party. The one in the red shirt holding the green car!

Vitae Health Business Plan

Executive Summary:

Vitae Health Clinic was started 18 years ago. Two locations, one on 101 East 7200 South Suite C
Midvale, Utah. 84047 and the 2^nd one in Park City.

Location in Midvale is at Fort Union in Midvale, west door. Hallway waiting area with a T-Zone Vibration Machine to help loosen the bowels. Two separate rooms to facilitate 2 clients seen in tandem. It has 2 massage tables for clients to lie down comfortably. The first room has plumbing for the waste and the other room has a toilet as well. Sinks are in both rooms. . This is a Limited Liability Company, Service based Type Company.

Lease terms: PROVIDED BY VICKI. Rent ___________per month

Vitae comes from, Latin roots and means, a better way. That is what we intent to teach clients; How to live a more complete life by including nutrient rich raw living foods to regenerate the body’s organs. We help people with a Colonic service, which is irrigating the colon. Aka; Colon Hydrotherapy. I plan on being a certified Colon Therapist with Vicki Talmage as my Mentor and business partner.

Vitae Health is fully operational now. Marianne Merrill would be adding a few more days for clients to be seen. This will make it easier for clients to schedule appointments and Marianne plans on taking over the business so Vicki can retire within 5 years. And after 10 years and another therapist is trained, we will open another clinic in Utah County. We also plan on doing raw food workshops and selling those homemade items as well.

Being a part of the Vitae Health umbrella would bring me tremendous satisfaction! The products alone would be worth it sharing with others they are so beneficial! But on top of that, the possibility that I get to have Vicki as a trainer, a mentor, and a new friend! Her method is supreme, I love all the knowledge she has and shares with others and I would like to help with that. I have many ideas with Videos, Brochures, compile a booklet or pamphlet to let clients read so they know the importance of why the certain foods, the wheatgrass, the benefits of the products etc. I personally am a seeker of truth and I love knowing the why behind everything and the science of food and our bodies fascinate me! I believe others would be more willing to follow the program, and buy the products more if they know the whys as well!

Use of Funds: $4000 is for a months’ worth of training. The remainder amount will be applied to the business as buying Share in the company and Marianne will be part owner. Percentage of ownership based on amount applied after training. Remainder about: $30,000 which will equal @ 20% of ownership.

Products and Services:

Healthy colon vs. Impacted Colon

A sick colon creates a sick body. Doctors warn against it letting build up. It stops you from absorbing vitamins, minerals, and the nutrients in your food. If your colon isn’t clean, you won’t feel well.

Symptoms of constipation include:

Fewer than three bowel movements per week
Small, hard, dry stools that are difficult or painful to pass
The need to strain excessively to have a bowel movement
A feeling that your rectum is not empty after a bowel movement
Frequent use of enemas, laxatives or suppositories

Symptoms of fecal impaction include:

Liquid stool (the stool is leaking around the impacted mass of feces and can be mistaken for diarrhea)
Abdominal pain, especially after meals
A persistent urge to move the bowels
Nausea and vomiting
Headache
Poor appetite, weight loss
Malaise (a generally sick feeling)
If the problem is not treated, dehydration, rapid pulse, rapid breathing, fever, agitation, confusion and urinary incontinence (info from drugs.com)

What to expect when you do a colon cleanse

What comes out of your colon may not be like anything you have ever experienced, so do not be alarmed. It is natural, although the sight and smell of it may be anything other than natural.
If you can imagine food and waste, putrefying in your colon for years you can imagine it will not be pretty.
Once you ingest the colon cleanser (or do the enema) and the initial dumping of your bowel occurs, things may slow a little. You can expect that your body will continue to get rid of the waste that you have loosened up in your colon. This can take a couple of weeks.
You will slowly start to feel differently. At first, you could actually feel sick. This is because toxins that have been store are being released for the first time. This will pass as the toxins are excreted from the body.
Once you are cleaned out, your body will begin to heal itself. You will have more energy, you mood will lighten and you will feel more energized and renewed. You skin may clear up and pains that you have had for years will disappear. Miracles of people being relatively crippled and being healed after cleansing their body have occurred. This is because that the pain and joint swelling are often caused by an overload of toxins in the body.

If you maintain you normal eating habits, the cleanse can take 4-6 weeks. If you use VitaeLife! Products the shakes and supplements, the waste can be eliminated in a matter of days instead of weeks. We recommend doing a cleanse, with the products and with the proper foods as well, until the “mucoid plaque” is removed from your intestinal track to allow more absorption of essential nutrients! Whatever your level of comfort we will accommodate.

Mucoid plaque: is a harmful mucus-like material and food residue that they say coats the gastrointestinal tract from years of mucus build up. The reason the body builds up this plaque is because nothing you eat can get past the brain. When we eat harmful substances; soda, coffee, salt and dairy combinations, and fried foods the brain will classify it as what it is…poison and coat the food in mucoid in order to protect the body from absorbing the alleged harmful substances. Our body expects us to ingest poison only once in a while, and today’s Standard American Diet, really is SAD. We eat these foods everyday, and then wonder why we don’t feel good. Proper food combinations are essential! Carbohydrates and Proteins are hard for the body to assimilate when eaten together. It is best to separate them; Such as a chicken salad for lunch, and a baked potato with all the veggie fixings for dinner! ~info from Bin to Banquet Book by Vicki Talmage.

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” ~Thomas Edison

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” ~Hippocrates

Market Strategy: We will be giving free classes in multiple counties in order to bring in a new client base for Marianne. Cost for marketing will be the food samples we give out and demonstrate. We have access to a facility in P.G., My Oil Business, which is available for free during business hours for meetings or presentations, and can accommodate small groups or large up to 150 people.

We will be offering free incentives through the online media channels, and can advertise with the local YP.com about $500 a year, we can also mail fliers through the USPS up to 700-900 residential houses around Midvale to attract more customers for only $200. We can do this every quarter if necessary. We will stick to Midvale as our Geographical territory and branch out from there every year.

Mostly this has worked solely out of word of mouth and offering classes from Vicki because she coaches people from all over the world individually, in her workshops and in her retreats to successfully overcome grief and recapture the art of living well. She is a sought after public speaker and has been sharing her story to many diverse groups since she was 19 years old. Her attitude has inspired many to heal and put their life in perspective as they move forward toward their dreams.

Target Markets: Individuals who are health conscientious. The trend in society today is leaning more towards alternative health and combining it with modern medicine. We also help those who are sick or otherwise afflicted by some physical condition and mentor them to a healthier lifestyle. Those who will mostly buy our services would be from 30 to 70 years old, and even some children, who have been experiencing some type of condition and are not happy with the side effects! Base salary range is around $48k per year for a single or a couple. There are 11k households in Midvale and minus the 17% in poverty and minus 24% without healthcare, that leaves us with around 6500 potential clients in Midvale. In Cottonwood Heights it has 12k households, and minus with 5% in poverty and 12% without health insurance there is over a potential of 9900 new clients. The population in West Jordan is 30k with 13% without health coverage and 8% in poverty leaves over 23,000 new clients in that city. ~All stats from census.gov for 2009-2013. All of these households are less than 15 minutes away, And we already have many clients who travel 25-35 minutes to see our clinic!

Competition: The closest one to the north from our Midvale Clinic is the Holistic Therapy Center at 3350 Highland Dr. Salt Lake City, UT 84106 and charges $75. The closest to the South is in Draper Corner Canyon Health & Wellness at 1178 Draper Pkwy. Dr. Gordon is a Chiropractor doctor, and charges $78 a session and do not have a wheatgrass implant.

There is also a Park City Colon Therapy, at 19 Payday Dr Park City, UT 84060 and charges $75, and has no supplements or shakes available, and can do the wheatgrass on request, but not a standard practice.

We differ by offering hands on care during the cleanse to help educate the client and what diet is best to facilitate the cleansing process even before the first appointment. We have proprietary 100% whole food herbal supplements to assist the client, and our method includes a Wheatgrass implant in the cecum of the colon to help assist in killing parasites that live in the ascending colon.

Due to both locations we have clients all the way from South Utah County all the way up to the Eastern part of Summit County, and all along the Wasatch front. Our welcoming customer oriented services, help us to retain our clients and they assist in referring new ones as well.

We have many You Tube videos for client education. With the help of Marianne we plan on creating multiple pamphlets, and starting a new blog and more Recipes for our clientele to enjoy. All of these circumstances added together make the experience at Vitae Health, a better way of life!

Management: Vicki Talmage is the 100% owner. She published the book, Bin to Banquet, which is available for purchase on Amazon. The book was written as to bring the reader step-by-step through the process of integrating at least 50% cellular foods into their daily diet. Included with the intricate information is 85 recipes which all may be freely used to satisfy the palate while doing your quarterly cleanses, and can be integrated into your daily diet.

Tiff completed a Bachelors Degree in 1998 from Montana State University Northern in Physical Education and Health. For the past 5 years Tiff has practiced Therapeutic, Injury, and Post-op Massage Therapy. However, she still felt as if she was missing important pieces in her understanding of how to take care of her body. This time she returned to Vicki committed to discovering the missing pieces of health, mental clarity, and aliveness and how that relates to the foods she was eating. By living Vicki’s Program, Tiff has lost 120 pounds in the past 2 years, weight that had plagued her body and emotions throughout her entire life. “Vicki’s program has changed my life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually”. In 2009 Tiff approached Vicki in hopes of apprenticing and working with her in the Clinic. Tiff has now dedicated a portion of her life to coaching other people, assisting them in regaining the health, clarity and freedom that she now experiences.
