Welcome spring! It is amazing to be in Arizona at this time of year. The weather is perfect! Everything that smells good is in bloom. This is why we live in this amazing place we call home. We are truly blessed (till the 115 degree weather hits!) Then it is wonderful to have a company that is in 8 counties so we can go open the South Carolina office or the San Diego office where the weather is “nicer�. We are very proud and excited about the response Instant Business Magazine has received. The 1st issue went viral in 10 minutes and has been seen all over the world. The second issue was produced and sent out late Monday night and by Tuesday morning I woke to over 50 e-mails asking questions about featured businesses. Pretty exciting stuff! Our parent company, Instant Barter LLC, has had an explosion of new business during this last month. We have signed more than 50 new members and received interest from some of the largest barter organization in the world wanting to work with us. We are also receiving another award. In May, the Phoenix Business Journal is honoring Instant Barter as an Admired Business in our area. The award will be accompanied by a write up in the Journal. We have also been named and featured in Yahoo Finance and other publications including a widely read press release on growth plus the contributions Instant Barter is making towards helping people and businesses in our local economy. For more information on this exciting new go to www.InstantBarter.com and where you can read all the details on our company.

D o y o u k n o w t h e s p e e d o f I NST A NT ? There is a reason the company nickname is Instant!
I was talking to a client I had worked with in another trade organization. He wanted to join Instant Barter and asked me to help him spend the trade he had with the old organization. I said. “Sure what are you looking to spend it on?” He said, “I have been asking them for 4 months now about a place in Tahoe in September. They won’t answer me if they have one I can rent.” I said, “Let me see what I can find with my resources.” I made one call to his trade organization and found they have 3 places. I called him right back. He was surprised when he answered thinking I forgot to ask for information. I said, “They have three different places available but you have to wait till Aug to book it.” He laughed and said, “That’s it I’m in! That is fast!” I said, “That is the power, speed and the difference of Instant Barter! We find you what you want fast!” We love speed and happy clients! Instant Business Magazine April

Touch of Health
Physical Medicine 8880 E. Via Linda #107 Scottsdale, AZ. 85258
Come see us on Tuesday April 16th from 5-8pm for our OPEN HOUSE. There will be many people in the health, weight loss field to answer any and all of your questions. Music, Entertainment, Massage, Food, FUN all FREE! Bring the whole family and come see the newest trends in Chiropractic Care and Weight loss. Lipo-laser is the least invasive way to loose fat FAST. Safe and effective.
T
he Lipo-laser, used in Europe since the 90’s is our newest way to jump start your fat burning furnace. for 48 hours after the treatment your fat cells will be spitting out fatty acids much faster than normal. The cell membranes will become porous, leaking the fatty acids. As you exercise, which starts in the office, with the Whole Body Vibration Machine, you burn fat and flush fat out of your body. We stimulate the Lymphatic system w/ the vibrations this activates muscle to contract circulating the Lymph fluid which is processed in the Liver. The Alkaline Water 6
Instant Business Magazine April
mixes with the fatty acids and many toxins of normal metabolism flushing them out of the body. You will loose weight, specifically from those areas treated w/ the laser light. Optimizing the process we have also found many detoxification products, and metabolic stimulants that will help you reach your personal weight loss goals. From herbal lymph system cleanser, to Nu-Lean total detox method we will have the products for you. I have been experimenting w/ the Galaxy Brainwave Programs which help
control those carbohydrate urges and increase metabolism. You can experience it while you are treated w/ the Lipo-laser. The only meal replacement I endorse, Visalus, has also helped many patients burn off those fatty acids. My newest chiropractic technique, Impulse adjusting method is accomplished with the use of the Impulse machine which can adjust up to 6 times a second. The repetitive nature of the “Impulse” allows for much lower forces to be used which are controlled by myself as I treat you. There is much less pain and much higher level of results using this new technique. It can also be used to relieve
muscle spasms by treating the trigger points directing instead of massaging the entire muscle. This can be painful and ineffective. I have been using the Cox flexion/ decompression spinal technique for years relieving disc bulges and herniation’s these injuries are otherwise treated w/ surgery which always seems to have complications. I have successfully healed disc bulges of 10-11 millimeters in dept on MRI scans. These people were treated and released back to work often with minimal permanent disability. Another new chiropractic technique I’ve incorporated into practice is the Cranial Release Technique which balances out the entire nervous system. This also calms and relaxes the nerves and is of great benefit for those with fibromyalgia syndrome. It also works on the Pituitary Gland and Endocrine system, normalizing hormones and internal biofeedback mechanisms. Brian K. Gallagher, D.C. 8880 E.

Hello, My name is Ana Hawk. I am the CEO of Instant Barter LLC and the developer of MY BARTER GAME™. I created this board game to help anyone playing to understand how trade works on a very basic level. The board game is a fun and easy way to understand trade. It teaches players how to use what they own as currency in order to gain other needed items and win the game. While running a business, players learn about profits, negotiating, currency and the economy. The game accommodates up to six players, ages 7 and up. This action is fun for children and adults. Everyone learns about building a business through trade. Big corporations understand that trade is a powerful tool to engage in global business, offset inventories and market goods for a profit. Multi million dollar companies such as Nike, Boeing and Staples already use trade in their daily business. You should understand it also. Would you like your face on one of our trade game currencies? We have sponsorship opportunities for both our trade and cash money. We are selling the board advertising spaces. Players will be reminded of your company each time they land on or pass over your game space. Below is the list of the remaining 33 available spaces.
