eZdia Work at Home Jobs - Scam

eZdia work at home and freelance jobs are a scam.
eZdia sent me an unsolicited email today for two freelance writing jobs.  I was immediately suspicious.  I am not actively promoting my writing services right now so there is absolutely no reason someone would contact me out of the blue.  At little bit of digging online uncovers numerous reports and complaints about eZdia posting fake freelance jobs on various freelance sites including oDesk.  Be very wary if you receive an email from eZdia, it is a scam.  This particular email is looking for someone with a Platinum Level Account on ezines.  eZdia wants you to write articles (probably talking about how great eZdia is, but I don't know for sure) and post them to your ezine accounts.  If you do this, you will end up ruining your hard won reputation and respected status on the ezine and even risk violating their Terms and Conditions and getting yourself kicked off completely.  Do not accept work promoting a company who is a scam.  Do your reasearch and protect your reputation.

eZdia work at home and freelance jobs are a scam.

Save the Mint Farm

As some of you may read and heard, Crosby Mint Farm (St. Johns) is under foreclosure. Because of the historic significance and the desire to continue producing this wonderful essential oil, your help is needed. Please tell your friends and ask them to pass this on.(These farmers have been a mainstay of Clinton County and Friends Forever! Please help if you possibly can. $5 for a gram of pure mint oil. It lasts a long time and is very hard to find.)

'In addition to having what appears to be the oldest surviving still in the country, the Crosby Farms operation also appears to be the oldest mint farm in continuous operation in the United States. The key word here is 'continuous' - that it has cultivated and processed mint since J.E. Crosby purchased the property before World War I.' Ephraim K. Smith, President; Heritage Productions, Inc.

Currently, there is enough essential oil inventory to pay this debt. On November 1st the bank has the right to inventory AND equipment AND then on August 14, 2009 they can take over the property. 77,000 DRAM BOTTLES MUST BE SOLD BY NOV. 1ST!!! Visit http://www.getmint.com/ for order information. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Here are some uses for the mint:

Headaches
Peppermint may ease headaches and migraines. Apply a rub to temple area in circular motion and across the forehead. For migraines, wet hair and put 4-5 drops into your hand and massage into the scalp.

Sinus Problems
Peppermint is very useful in reducing sinus congestion when added to a bowl of steaming or boiling water. A rub may be applied to chest, back of neck area, and behind ears. A few drops of oil in a vaporizer at night will help ease congestion as well.

Digestive System
Peppermint oil can help relax the muscles of the digestive tract to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. One drop of peppermint oil on a sugar cube or used in tea may help relieve intestinal cramps.

Body Muscles & Arthritis
Peppermint oil is soothing to sore muscles when added to a hot bath or massage oil. Use this to soothe arthritis pain. Mix 4-5 drops of oil into 1 ounce of lotion and/or massage carrier oil.

Feet
Applied full strength, or mixed with a carrier oil, peppermint oil may relieve swollen feet and may reduce and assist in healing blisters, cuts, or athlete's foot by killing bacteria.

Women Only
Relieve menstrual or abdominal cramps, add 1-2 drops of peppermint oil on a sugar cube or into an 8 ounce glass of water and drink. A toothpick dipped in oil works great for tea or water. Also helps to relieve Hot Flashes!

Flu Season?
For a sore throat, sparingly dip a cotton swab into mint oil and carefully apply to the back of the tongue area. Relieve congestion by rubbing a few drops of peppermint oil on chest & covering with warm compress. Add a few drops of mint oil to the water of a humidifier or vaporizer to keep it smelling fresh and kill germs.

Peppermint Oil is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal!
