Understanding the IQLife Opportunity and why you do NOT want to miss out!


IQLife is an affiliate program!  IQLife is introducing a new social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest etc…  The difference with this platform is that everyone joins for free through an invite and receives reward points for inviting others to join for free, for connecting and sharing.  Reward points accumulate and can be turned in for gift cards from over 100’s of the top stores.  They can also be turned in for Visa cards that can be used to pay bills, or to buy groceries, school clothes, gifts, and more!  You can also use your reward points to buy products or services on the platform.  There will be a marketplace similar to Ebay or Amazon without all of the high fees.  You will be able to buy, sell, or trade in you points through this Marketplace.


Once you join the platform as a free user you will see that we offer several different products and services.  If a free user purchases any of these for at least 9.95 they will be upgraded to what is called an affiliate, and be able to participate in the compensation plan.  Everyone they invite and they invite and so on will forever be linked back to them.  


The social media platform is LIVE now!  It is in a beta testing phase.   This month...in October we will be bringing on all Brand Partners/First Inviters/Affiliates (All the same now) onto the platform to set up their profiles and start connecting with the people currently on the site testing.  This is the final phases.  The next phase will be to start sending out free invites.


TO PARTICIPATE NOW AND GET PAID NOW...Yes...IQLife is already paying people worldwide,  You can join us as a First Inviter!  A First Inviter is someone who joins before we start sending out the free invitations to the public.  This opportunity WILL GO AWAY once this happens.  That is why is is so important to JOIN NOW!  There are HUGE PERKS to joining now!  You will be in position for when we do flip the switch!  You will be able to start inviting all of your friends and family before someone else invites them!  Every time you invite someone and they invite someone and so on...they will all be forever linked to you as a First Inviter for life.  It is by invitation only!  Your connections can grow very quickly!


You will also get to be part of the first inviter join pledge.  It is a huge bonus all first inviters will receive once the platform matures and we can put a monetary value on each free user….YES!  We get paid on free users too.  It will pay retroactively all the way back to day one.  Some people will be able to retire on the bonuses alone.  This is not even counting the pay we get NOW off of the social grid and the matching bonuses!  
The REWARDS here are much greater that any risk.  :-)

Today, approximately 2 billion people worldwide participate in a daily activity for FREE with no compensation to them. This activity is Social Media or Social Sharing: like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Many people are active on these sites multiple times daily. Your activity on these sites helps generate enormous revenue and profits for these companies.

Wouldn’t it be nice if those companies shared their revenue with the people who are actually responsible for generating their revenue? You know….people like you and me?

What if there was a high quality Social Media company that did reward you?
iQLife has taken the best features of the popular Social Media sites and built a new and smarter Social Media site called iQKonnect. But here is a refreshing fresh twist – iQLife will monetize or compensate people worldwide for their Social Media activity on iQKonnect.

Think about that for a moment…Very soon, people will have the choice to continue doing what they are doing for FREE and/or join us for FREE and get paid for the same activity. iQKonnect will go live in a few weeks, and you want to be enrolled before that happens.

Which would you choose? Get paid for your activity, right?
Hey it’s only $9.95 … so what do you have to lose? Everyone can afford to own their own business when the overhead is only $9.95 a month. Plus this opportunity is so simple that everyone can be successful! Don’t make the mistake of not taking this Opportunity seriously.

iQLife has strategically aligned and signed an exclusive agreement with a brand new Social Sharing Platform that will soon be released called iQKonnect.



Do you want in on the ground floor of a Facebook type company? Zuckerberg invited 5 people to his dorm room, 2 showed up, and they are now billionaires! Can u afford to NOT get involved?

I are working with a company that believes the people who use a social media website, you and me, or the users should be compensated. We are the ones that make social media successful because we are on social media using it every day. But this company wants to reward the user. So when this is released everyone can use it for free! Your friends and family can use it for free just like Facebook or twitter. One difference, even the free members will earn points for connecting with people. Those points can be turned in for gift certificates or merchandise. BUT, right now we have the option to subscribe to be a First Inviter or, one who will get to be one of the first to use the website and then invite the world. By subscribing $9.95 /mo that opens up two different types of compensation for you. The company has a compensation plan in place to pay you for sharing with others who want to share with others information about this new social media. The next form of compensation comes later, when this company develops profit maybe 2 years, 3 or 4, they will pay back a portion of company profits to all subscribed members. Facebook is reported to be worth $140 billion in 9 years, as our company acquires profits like that, they are willing to share. I would say that is a lot of return for your $9.95/ mo. Wouldn't you? And, the owners are visionaries. They have versions 2,3, and 4 ready to go, and will be dropping even more ways to generate revenue to pay US subscribed members on
Here is a video you can watch to get a better idea of it
http://www.itsveryreal.iqdreamteam.com/



They aren't saying how long first inviters have. They just say...not much longer. If you are interested in getting in on the ground floor, Just to be safe, I would do it now and start inviting some of your friends as well.
You will get your own log in and email. You will make your own page that they will go to sign up just like you will go into to sign up under me. After you sign up, I will add you to our group page on Facebook. There you can go into Files and download anything you find helpful. You can ask your potential friends to watch the video or invite them on a call.
They will email you your distributor number and password. You can start inviting instantly. Here is the site you go to subscribe.

I know this is a lot of info. Please let me know what kind of questions you may have.

Kawasaki Disease ... My Notes

I have had a few people get in touch with me after finding my post about my son Carson's Kawasaki Disease.  I am here for you.  I had no one to talk to.  Please get in touch with me if you have a child going through this.  I have met many others like us.  You are NOT alone.  I wanted to share my "Notes".  They are not written well..as I jotted things down fast as they were happening...but this will describe how long it took to diagnose and what all we went through.  I still wonder at times...and I think the doctors do as well.....

Took Carson To doctor Monday June 6th 2011 with fever.  They did testing and said he was okay and sent him home.  They called me on Wednesday June 8th and said he had strep throat and put him on amoxacillian.  He was not getting any better and I took him back to doctor on Monday June 13.  They changed his antibiotic and said to call again on Wednesday if he wasn't better.  We went back in on June 15 and Dr.XXX sent him to the Hospital thinking it may be Kawasaki Disease.


Carson was in Hospital from June 15 to June 22 2011.
June 15 admitted to hospital and start tests.  Tried to take blood had to call iv team.  Long night.
Symptoms include fever, red eyes...not runny, and rash.
He had no red tounge, no red or swollen hands or feet, no cracked lips and mouth okay, really no swollen lymph nodes


June 16 had his first echo.  Results okay.  Still having high fevers.  Drs still thinking it is a virus...still waiting to hear from more tests.


June 17 they are thinking it is NOT Kawasaki Disease and it is most likely viral.  Still waiting on tests...may send him home.
Later in day...only one test left to see if he has adnolvirus.  They think he is okay and plan on sending him home because his fevers are lower.  I argue with doctors telling them that his fevers are not going down we are just giving him Tylenol every 4 hours and it is keeping them down....so they called off the Tylenol and his fever reached 104.1  They were shocked and decided to start all testing over again to compare to tests already taken.
They are just now getting Infectious Disease doctors involved in the morning.


Later June 17 test came back and only tested positive for rhinovirus the common cold.  Started all tests again tonight.


June 18. Decided to treat for KD just in case ( way past 10 days of fever. ) They started the gamma gobulin treatment ( IVIG ) in his room at night when No doctors were there.  He did not react well.  After turning machine up twice after 30 minutes Carsons fever shot up to 104.9 fast.  He turned white, blue lips and shaking all over.  Begging me to help him.  We turned off.  They wanted to start again worrying about wasting the medicine and it was 3000 $.  I was like NO!


June 19.  Talked to ID doctors and they think he really still needs treatment.  They had Dr. XXX (JRA) doctor come in to look at him and decided he did not have juvenile RA.  They also had an eye doctor check out his eyes and said they were okay.  They decided to move him to ICU to give him IVIG treatment to be more closely monitored.


June 20. Treatment went smoothly.  First fever free day in over 2 1/2 weeks.  Back in regular room.


June 21. Got sick twice last night and fever is back.  Running fevers and doctors leaving him alone today to give him a break.  Will do another echo tomorrow.


June 22. No fevers last night and feeling good this morning.  Doing 2 nd echo today....all looked good and sent us home after being in hospital one week.


July 4 Carson has been doing better.  Going camping for 2 nights right up the road.  Hasn't had fevers.  Appetite not totally normal and looking kinda pale at times...but seems good.


July 7 Went to see ID doctor....saw the nurse practitioner.  She was surprised that Carsons hands and feet were not peeling.  She ordered blood work to compare to old tests.  They tried to get blood in both arms and couldn't.  Will have to go to Kosair hospital just to get blood.
Went to cardiologist. He found a small aneurysm in his left coronary artery measuring 3.5 mm and put him on Plavix 3 ml a day along with the half 81 mg aspirin Carson has been on since he got out of hospital.


July 8 Mom Kept Carson having low grade fevers under 100.


July 11 went to hospital and got blood work.  Effortless


July 13.  XXX from ID called about bloodwork.  Carson is anemic and she put him on iron supplement.  I told her he had been having low grade fevers.  She said call if it gets to 100.4 or higher they may look at doing gg treatment again (IVIG).  Today fever was 100 went away with tylonol.
His platelet count looks good 447
CRP rate up inflammation in body way up for someone with KD at this point. They put him on a whole aspirin 81 mg.
They scheduled a MRI/MRA for Monday July 18 to look at all blood vessels in his body.  They all got together to talk about Carson.  Dr, XXX the RA dr...thinks it could be juvenile RA????
They are confused because Carsons case has been atypical from beginning. Not text book.  No peeling, inflammation unusual.  But has aneurysm.  Doing more testing to be complete.


July 14.  Dr. XXX on vacation.  Talked to DR. XXX , cardiologist about refilling Plavix.  Carson has not been sleeping well and saw you shouldn't take Plavix with aspirin.  He said he is comfortable with this and will talk to DR XXX  more about it July 22 at next echo.


Talked to XXX again.  She assured me the gg and his fever shooting to 105 is not the cause of aneurysm or inflammation.  They are also checking on takiasu arteritis inflammation of aorta and major branches.  It also causes inflammation but is very rare.  MRI checks soft tissue structures and bones. MRA checks blood vessels with contrast. Iron 1.2 ml. 3 times a day..no multivitamin with it. .,...she talked about his echoes in hospital being upper limit of prominent normal with no aneurisms.
Fever 100.2 around 8:00 gave Tylenol.


July 16 fever 100 gave Tylenol because we are going to bed. Very fussy all day


July 17. Woke up acting like he was hurting ....gave him his aspirin...seemed better later.
6:30 after nap fever 100.4 acts miserable...gave Tylenol.  He wakes up and acts, like something hurts...acts like hands may be tingling or something??


July 18 Carson woke up again acting like his hand is bothering him??  Has MRI MRA today.
Carson could not eat 6 Hours before the test.  We Arrived hospital at 1:30, checked in, and then a nurse came down and told us there was a problem with scheduling and could not do the tests at this location and they rescheduled him downtown on Wednesday.  No one called us and now we have to starve our child again Wednesday and stress for two more days.
They did take blood and here His results.
SED rate normal 0-20 ....July 11...110 July 18...112
Shows he has some type of Inflamation somewhere

ID nurse called today with CRP rate of 106.5.  It was 70 last week so it went up.  She said doctors may have to put him under general anesthesia to stop his breathing tomorrow during MRI / MRA if radiologist sees something to take picture of his heart.


July 20 had MRI MRA at Kosair downtown.
fever 100.7 gave Tylenol.


July 21.  Saw Dr. XXX.  He said the radiologist did not get to look at all of the pictures but that he did not have an aneurysm and the heart and major branches look good.  Call him on tuesday to see about other results and to see about labs.  He wants a blood test to look at white blood cells....Castle mans disease.  He said not to give him iron anymore because high CRP will make it not work.  He wants me to keep a log of his fevers.  They ruled out juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and takiasu disease and said it probably never even was Kawasaki since there is no aneurysm.  Continue on Plavix.
July 21.  100.7 - 6:30 pm After nap.  He was so fussy uncontrollably and miserable I gave him Tylenol and a milkshake.  No appetite otherwise.

Talked to a bunch of doctors about maybe being mold.  They all said it probably isn't.  I went ahead and set an appointment for Tuesday for Carson to see an allergist.
Left Dr. XXX, pediatrician, a message saying I didn't know the next move. Everyone acts like it is now out of their hands and Carson is still having fevers.
Talked with  ID a few times.  She kept telling me it is no longer infectious in nature but that there is over all inflammation and his hemoglobin is down to 7.4.  She tried to call Dr. XXX RA DR and found out he is out of town and then referred me to Dr. XXX.  She said she only knew a little about Carson but thought I needed to immediately put him In hospital and have hematology look at him, get a bone marrow biopsy so they could treat him with a high dose of steroids...looking at Cancer.  She freaked me out....no one had said anything about these things.
She called me back later and said she talked to Dr. XXX and he is still waiting on a blood test that tests cells....types of blood cells and cancer cells, so we would wait.  In the meantime Dr. XXX...Pediatitian calls and says she talked to new RA DR and the on call doctors for cardiology and RA (none of whom have been working with Carsons case up to this point) and they all decided to admit him into the hospital tomorrow and run another dose of IVIG and have hematology look at him.  :-(

ID doctor XXX talked with us.
Dr. XXX RA DR came back in and told us that
Dr. XXX Cardiologist talked to Dr. Jane Newberger out of Boston who agrees with the Remecade and said cyboxin ? could be an option down the road or a beta blocker?

Update:  Today's Echo appointment was a little unsettling.  I didn't know if I should be glad or sad.  Last week the Dr. said he may have seen a blood clot in the right coronary artery coming out of his aorta.  He said he had been having trouble seeing this area on the past few Echos.  He could see it plainly again today and said it really looked more like a narrowing ( the artery repairing itself ).  There was no change from last week to this week and wants to take a look at again next week.  I choose to believe the the aneurysm is getting smaller and God is working his miracles.  The left artery still looks normal and the right aneurysm is still measuring between 6 and 7 mm in the spots it has been.    I still haven't gotten results from his blood work...hope to get that tomorrow.

We saw Carson's heart doctor and he did another Echo today.  There are no changes in the aneurysm.  He says it will probably never get smaller or larger at this point.  What they look for now is narrowing in the blood vessels because of the damage from the Kawasaki Disease.  He will have either a CT scan or heart cath done about once a year.  He will have Echos in between.  If narrowing does show up in the future he may have to have bypass surgery.  For now he will stay on blood thinners to keep the blood from clotting in the aneurysm.
Make the next appointment in January for January or February.

So Carson got Kawasaki disease (if that's what it really was) after his 18 month shots and after being on 2 antibiotics.  He never had shots after that because of the Remecade treatments.  We went to the dr. this morning and they swabbed him for whooping cough. We will have the results Tuesday but they said I could go ahead and start him on an antibiotic.  Ugh...I say I will wait til Tuesday and give it to him if he has it.  Wednesday he goes for his well check up and they will want to give him the shots he has missed.  Since they don't know where Kawasaki comes from, all of this makes me a worried momma.

This is where I stop taking notes.  Carson still goes to the hospital once a week to check blood levels.  We still have Echos ever so often.  His aneurysm hasn't changed.  He has had CT Scans and Heart Caths to monitor.  We are actually in the process of scheduling his next heart cath.  Carson is now 4 years old...in preschool...and a happy little boy!   We are thankful and pray for the best in the future.  I am here to talk with you.  I was alone and had no one to talk to that had gone through this.  It is so rare.  Please get in touch with me...
