The healthy option

Before going to Sevenpointfive, Betty Bodil suffered severely from fibrocytis in her shoulders and back, as well as migraines. She kept painkillers in her handbag in case of emergency. She had tried injections, acupuncture and physiotherapy, but the pain was still severe.

"Then someone suggested I try Sevenpointfive," she says. "Well, when I saw for myself what was in my blood, I could understand why I wasn't getting better after years and years of suffering. Since going on the Sevenpointfive programme, I have not had another migraine and I can move my shoulders around freely. After just one month, I feel quite liberated and my energy level has increased tremendously. My cholesterol has also dropped dramatically."

This is just one of many life altering testimonials received by Sevenpointfive franchisees. Sevenpointfive is a health company established in 1998 by CEO Garth Kent, who went through a life-changing comeback from an incurable disease.

"I suffered for eight years from Lupus (SLE). The disease gave me debilitating headaches, ate away at my joints and caused excruciating pain that would not respond to even the strongest painkillers, like morphine," he says. "After eight years, I had travelled the world searching for cures, conventional and alternative, without success. I felt hopeless, as I was bed-ridden, having no quality of life, until I discovered the importance of having the correct pH in the body. I found a way to correct my pH, and I made an amazing recovery. I just had to share what I had found with others." And so Sevenpointfive was born.

Unlike conventional medicine, Sevenpointfive focuses on the cause of the problem rather than the symptom. "Our protocol of cleanse, nourish and balance is focused on getting the body back into balance. Once that is achieved, the body has the opportunity to heal itself," says Mr Kent.

The effectiveness of the Sevenpointfive range of products is proven using a scientific technique called Live Blood Analysis (LBA). During the LBA, a tiny drop of blood is placed under a microscope and projected onto a screen where the client can see his own blood cells. Three Sevenpointfive products are taken and after the initial sample is analysed, a second blood sample is taken, and the improvement in the blood is clearly visible.

While many franchises give franchisees the freedom to run their own business, Sevenpointfive says that few give people the job satisfaction that it does.

Sevenpointfive provides everything a franchisee needs to get started - the office furniture, the equipment, business software and in-depth intensive training. One franchisee was moved to comment: "I gained more practical application value on the Sevenpointfive training than I did in my seven years at medical school!"

Potential franchisees do not need a medical background, just a deep desire to help people. Startup stock is also included which eases cash flow for the first three months.
 
Ongoing training and support is provided, using modern technology. Matthew Kent, franchise manager for Sevenpointfive, says: "Our equipment enables head office to view your remote microscope in real-time over the internet, providing personal support. Online discussion forums allow our franchisees to keep in contact with each other, sharing positive testimonials, asking questions or sharing advice."

Most of the many Sevenpointfive outlets around the world were started from satisfied clients who were keen to make a meaningful difference in others lives. Client satisfaction creates referrals, which is the engine that generates earning potential and job satisfaction.
