A Touch of Hope

Opinion Editorial - The New York Times
A Cleaner Food and Drug Agency

Published: March 23, 2007
In our highly medicated, high-technology society, it is essential that the Food and Drug Administration regulates drugs, medical devices and other products with complete objectivity — free from the taint of industry influence. So it is encouraging that the agency has proposed new rules to exclude experts who have significant financial ties to regulated industries from serving on committees that recommend whether a product should be approved.

The proposed rules may still need to be strengthened after they are critiqued during a required comment period. But even in their current form they look like a big, and long needed, improvement over the agency’s previously lax efforts to screen out conflicts of interest. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, doles out lots of money to doctors and academic experts in the form of speaking fees, consultancies, research grants and other financial benefits. And many of these recipients end up on federal advisory committees.

All too often consumer interests are shortchanged. In one egregious example, a panel that favored marketing the controversial painkillers Bextra and Vioxx would have made the opposite recommendation if the experts with industry ties had been excluded from voting.

The new rules would bar from an advisory committee anyone whose financial interests in a company with a product up for review — or its competitors — exceed $50,000, whether in stock ownership, consulting arrangements or individual research grants. Those with smaller financial interests could participate in discussions but would not be allowed to vote. Only those with no potential conflicts could participate as full, voting members. The food and drug commissioner could still grant waivers, but officials expect them to be rare.

Some patient advocates believe the $50,000 exclusion is too generous, and the agency needs to explain more fully how it decided that was the proper cutoff point. It also needs to address whether nonvoting experts — those with smaller financial ties — might still unduly sway a committee’s decision.

Congress needs to confront another worrisome source of industry’s influence: the $300 million in annual fees paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers that help finance the approval process and regulation of drugs. Critics have long complained that these user fees distort the agency’s objectivity and make for a too cozy atmosphere between the industry and its regulators.

The Bush administration, unfortunately, is seeking to increase reliance on user fees. That’s the wrong direction to go. To ensure that the public’s interests are its only concern, the F.D.A. should be supported entirely by public funds.

TREE OF LIGHT EDUCATION

FROM STEVEN HORNE AT WWW.TREELITE.COM

Eating is important for many reasons. We eat for pleasure, to
socialize and sometimes just for distraction.

However, the most important reason to eat is for good nutrition. When
we are hungry it's because our bodies need sustenance. Unfortunately,
no matter how much you eat, if your digestion isn't working properly
it won't do much good.

Which is why in this issue of Nature's Field we discuss enzymes and
their importance to our health.

Also for the first week of March we are offering $5 off a purchase of
The Comprehensive Guide to NSP.

THE TOP TEN WAYS TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO YOU

The following information is used with permission from Hilton Johnson Productions www.mlmu.com. It was posted on Nicole Bandes’ Yahoo group for NSP business builders. You can subscribe for free by sending a blank email to nspbbsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

The Top Ten Ways to Attract People to You By Hilton Johnson

1. Have a Strong Personal Foundation

There is a concept within the professional coaching community called Personal Foundation. The idea behind Personal Foundation is that once you have it, people will notice a special energy about you that will actually attract them to you. The way to get a Strong Personal Foundation is to have BALANCE in all the key areas of your life. This could include health, money, physical environment, family and friends, significant other/spouse, fun and recreation, career, personal growth and spirituality.

Professional coaches often have their clients grade each of these areas from 1 to 10, with 10 being excellent. They will then coach on the areas where the person is “out of balance.” Having a Strong Personal Foundation is the first major step to attracting people.

2. Focus All of Your Attention on the Other Person
People love to talk about themselves. When you ask questions that cause people to tell you about their passions and problems, they naturally become attracted to you.

You already know the routine. Ask people about their children, their careers, what they like to read and what they do in their spare time. Try to understand them from their point of view. Getting people to reveal their inner world to you can make you come across as a superior conversationalist...and consequently, a very attractive person.

3. Listen, Listen, Listen
Most people give listening skills lip service. They think that hearing another person’s words when they talk is listening. That’s not the kind of listening we’re discussing here.

If you can listen to someone without thinking of what question you’re going to ask next; if you can listen without thinking of your own agenda; if you can listen without thinking of selling them, then you can listen at such a deep level your potential prospect will be drawn to you. A dialogue exchange will begin to take place that will be rich and engrossing. That kind of communication between two people becomes irresistibly attractive.

4. Specialized Knowledge
If you have expert knowledge about something that people want to know about, that can make you particularly attractive.
What are you good at doing? (Or, what are you willing to get good at doing?) Are you good at writing, speaking, marketing, computer skills? If so, many people will be attracted to you. All they have to do is know that you exist and that you have the skills they need.

5. Acknowledge People
Another way to attract people to you is to pay them sincere compliments and then acknowledge the compliments. Here’s how that works: Let’s say that you compliment a friend about some new furniture they just bought. You might say, “Your new furniture looks wonderful.” You can kick that compliment up a notch or two with an acknowledgement that could sound like this: “Your new furniture looks wonderful. You have a natural talent for decorating.”

6. Commonality
Another neat way to attract people to you is to find things about them that you have in common. This goes back to the idea that asking questions, listening and probing into your potential prospect’s world will reveal many opportunities to discover things you have in common and can discuss.

7. Talk about Your Success Stories
A common mistake that people in network marketing make is to tell people how successful they are. People don’t care about that.
It’s more attractive to tell people about the people you (or your company) made successful. Tell them about the poor situation somebody was in before you helped them. Describe in detail how miserable they were. Next, tell them what that person’s life is like now; how happy he/she is; how much freedom and wealth he/she has...all as a result of doing business with you. Make a list of all of the people you have helped make successful, and then develop the “before” and “after” stories that will make you sound amazing.

8. Offer to Be an Information Resource
Once you know something about your potential prospects, you will clearly see ways to provide information that is of value to them. This could include websites relating to their hobbies or articles about things you two have in common. It could be information related to their business, their children or other passions they may have.

They will appreciate hearing from you when you provide information they can use. (Remember to do NO selling when you contact them. They’ll come around when the time is right.)

9. Send Them Referrals
No one in his right mind ever turns down a good referral. Find business for your prospects and they will always take your calls, have lunches with you, give you referrals and yes, give you their business.

10. The Most Important Person on Earth
Earl Nightingale used to say that if you want to be successful, treat every person you come into contact with as the most important person on earth. To be truly attractive, focus all of your energy, attention and care on the person you’re with. Take yourself out of the equation and give that person unbelievable attention without any hint of manipulation or ulterior motives.

People that you make feel extremely important will give you their respect, their friendship, their knowledge and their business...and they’ll do it for life.
