""... there's at least one really good article for me to read every day, and I read it and follow it.""

""I'm still not sure why you don't charge $79 a year for this like all the other health newsletters...""

""Just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have a special place in my prayers for your gift of this newsletter."

""I credit huge amounts to NewsTarget, which has provided me with education, humor, and courage to step away from the established medical assumptions which have actually been making me worse all these years.""

""I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your newsletter. I am an RN case manager and I regularly share the information I learn from your site with my patients. Thank you for doing such fine work."

""Your site is so interesting! I love what you have to say in every area. The articles on the real estate bubble are very clear and, I believe, right on target (thank goodness I own my house free and clear and don't have a second one). Your nutrition stuff is always excellent too, and the political stuff is so fun and right on "target". Keep up the great work!""

""Thank you for all the time and effort that's gone into the CWRC and Newstarget sites, I've spent the last two weeks or so plowing through them, and have come out the other side much more educated, and motivated to start paying a lot more attention to my own health.""

""Outstanding work! It has helped me to organize my confused ideas about many health topics, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Doctors I have visited do not like to spend the time educating you. I have only learned through your many written articles. I copy them to my Word files for future reference and study. Congratulations and thanks for your help!" "

""Thanks for all the wonderful information which I constantly receive. I am so sated with knowledge at the moment, I am euphoric.""

""I subscribe to your newsletter and forward them to friends and family. I'm always thankful for reading anything that is written in the best interest of people as opposed to big companies.""

"This is a rare opportunity to take part in a cooperative product acquisition effort organized by NewsTarget.com and designed to help consumers eliminate the toxic chemicals found in manufactured laundry detergent products. A few months ago, we announced a product called "

" -- a natural soap and laundry detergent made from the dried shells of berries that grow on the soap berry tree. The reader response was tremendous, and over a thousand people have tried the product and liked it!"

"We received a lot of feedback about the soap berries. Readers were thrilled to find a natural soap product that worked so well and yet contained no synthetic chemicals or toxic fragrance additives. But we also received complaints about the price of the product. It was just too expensive, people told us, and they wanted something that was more competitive with the popular laundry detergents sold in stores. They were also concerned about the large amount of packaging used with the soap nuts, and they wanted something more eco-friendly that doesn't use such expensive packaging with color printing."

"Here at NewsTarget, our primary mission is to serve the interests of you, our readers. In response to all the email and phone calls about these soap berries, we've decided to consider putting together a co-op soap berry buying arrangement where we pool the product demand of our readers and approach the various soap berry producers around the world to find the best price (and quality) for a bulk purchase. By doing this, we'll be able to acquire soap berries at a significantly reduced price while using more eco-friendly packaging."

"1) How many KILOs of soap berries would you be interested in purchasing? (Can be approximate. One kilo equals 2.2 pounds and can clean from 100 - 150 loads of laundry.) This is not actually a reservation; it's just an email survey of how many kilos of soap berries our readers might want."

"The estimated price to you (see below) will be around $30 per kilo, which is less than half the current retail price of similar products. The final price may actually be lower, but we won't know until we approach the producers and calculate the total costs."

"You do not have to actually commit to buying what you want to reserve, nor do you have to place an order right now. We're just trying to gauge the approximate demand for bulk-packaged soap berries. Remember, too, that soap berries can be used to clean laundry, hair, skin, countertops, children's play areas and much more. I'm going to be using this to make pet shampoo, body wash, garage cleaner and a natural veggie wash. The saponins are extremely versatile. Anywhere that you need soap, you can use soap berries (even on carpet!)."

"We will then take this aggregate product demand and approach Maggie's Soap Nuts and other companies to get the best price possible on the total demand (which might be 2,000 kilos of soap berries, for example). Once we acquire the best price, we will front the money to buy this shipment of soap berries and have it brought to our fulfillment center near Phoenix, Arizona (or, shipped to other continents depending on demand, see below...). From there, we will offer the product through "

" at the best price we can manage. (We will need to have some markup in order to cover the up-front cash requirements, shipping, customs clearance, fulfillment costs, storage costs and other logistics overhead, but the bottom line savings to everyone will be tremendous.)"

" by pooling our demand and using this to negotiate the best deal possible with soap berry providers."

" and tell us how many kilos of soap berries you want to reserve. We estimate the final price might be around $30 per kilo (plus shipping), but do not hold us to that because we don't know the final cost until we approach the soap berry companies with our aggregate demand numbers. There may also be seasonal issues (soap berries are only harvested during certain times of the year) that affect the final price and availability."

"Please note that $30 per kilo is less than half the price of the soap berry product we are currently offering (which is priced at $19 for 10 ounces, and that comes out to over $65 per kilo)."

". If we take the middle ground on this and assume it can clean 125 loads of laundry, the cost comes to "

". That's actually LESS than many of the name-brand chemical laundry detergents. So this is a price point that should make sense to everyone: "

"Not only do you pay no more for this natural detergent, but you also save the environment from toxic chemicals, reduce the poisoning of your own family from laundry chemicals and reduce the use of wasteful packaging."

"Each kilo of soap berries will be packaged in a separate cloth bag which may or may not be wrapped in a plastic bag (we haven't decided yet whether humidity control is necessary for these soap berries). Each kilo will also include a small cloth bag to use as a holding container for the soap nuts (you toss the small bag into the laundry)."

"Personally, I'm reserving a couple hundred pounds myself, because I've been washing laundry with these soap berries for months now, and I'm never switching back to chemical laundry detergent! I'm also buying extra to give away as Christmas gifts this year. Everybody gets soap berries! (My Christmas shopping will be completely done when this shipment arrives!)"

", which many of you may recall as being the tree under which Buddha sat while meditating for peace. The Bodhi Tree is a "sacred fig" and has a fascinating history you can read at "

" while also providing honest, close-to-the-earth work for farmers and families in the countries where these soap berries are produced: India, Indonesia, Taiwan and other SE Asian nations."

"Soap berries are grown without pesticides. All soap berries are naturally organic. (Because bugs don't like to eat soap.) Their cultivation is earth-friendly and sustainable, which is in great contrast to the chemical production of laundry detergent which pollutes our waters, soils and bodies. Soap berry saponins can even be used to "

"You can even make a natural garden pesticide out of soap berries, and use it to protect your plants from pests without poisoning your food or soil. It's truly an astounding solution for earth-friendly cleanliness, and it's provided by Mother Nature. Using soap berries in your laundry, kitchen, shower and home helps support this industry that, until recently, had virtually disappeared thanks to the popularity of chemical-based cleaning products that now dominate Western society (which is increasingly poisoned and dying from cancer and Alzheimer's disease -- no coincidence). But now, the soap berry industry is surging back, and you can be part of this rebirth of an industry that the planet desperately needs if we are to survive as a civilization."

"As I said, it's about much more than cleaning your laundry. It's about survival. We either stop poisoning our homes and environment, or we will perish. And while soap berries alone can't save the planet, they are absolutely part of the solution."

"If you're interested in participating in this special NewsTarget co-op purchase of soap berries, "

" because we will probably only do this kind of co-op aggregate purchasing deal once a year. If you want to reserve a very large quantity such as 100 or 200 kilos, please let us know so that we can make sure you are at the top of the fulfillment list when the product arrives. Some institutional customers (such as hotels or B&Bs) could "go green" by switching to this natural laundry detergent and eliminating their reliance on chemical products."

"And by the way, if you want to buy these from us at the co-op prices and then resell them at retail price to local businesses or customers, that's fine with us. The more people use soap berries, the better it is for the planet. My main goal here is spreading knowledge about this product and getting more consumers switched over so they stop using toxic laundry detergent products filled with synthetic chemicals and fragrance."

" to tell us how many kilos of soap berries you want to reserve. (No obligation. It's just an estimate.) Please include:"

"The reason we want to know your country is that if there's enough demand in Australia, for example, we may arrange for a separate shipment to Australia that can be distributed locally at very low cost. Also, if you are interested in being a local distributor for this product outside North America, please indicate that in your email. (If we arrange for a shipment directly to Australia, for example, we will need someone there to handle storage and fulfillment.)"

"? We will combine the demand estimates and seek out the best price on bulk soap berries."

"? We'll buy the soap berries up front and import them, then make them available for fulfillment from the U.S. (or other countries, too, depending on demand)."

"? We'll pass the cost savings through to NewsTarget readers, and we'll all get the best pricing possible on this environmentally-friendly natural cleaning product. (We estimate the final cost to consumers will be $30 per kilo, which is less than half the current retail pricing on such products.) The actual final cost may vary from this, however. We won't know until we do the deal."

"? It may take us approximately 4 - 8 weeks to acquire the product and be ready to fulfill orders. (That's mostly for international shipping time.) It may be faster if we can find a source in North America, however."

"? This is something we will only offer to readers once a year, so if you're interested in participating, be sure to reserve enough supply for one year."

"? If you want to reserve very large quantities such as 200 kilos, this is your chance to acquire it very affordably. Please contact us to make arrangements to join this co-op arrangement. We'll be sure
