FREE Sample from Ball Canning!

My Ball Canning House Party

I LOVE Ball Canning Products!

I’ve always been a big fan of their products, and have great memories of helping my mom can peaches and pears when I was a little girl. But I really love the new look on the current line of products, with the bright green, cheerful packaging.

Party Time!

I got to try out some great new canning recipes with my friends during my Ball Canning House Party a while back, and give away tons of goodie bags filled with fun prizes. We made cherry pie filling, salsa, and apricot jam. Loved it!

Want a freebie of your own?

Check out their site to get your OWN freebie- Ball Real Fruit Classic Pectin Sample. But hurry, these won’t last long!

FREE Help & Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis + Earn up to $650

Get FREE Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment:

I myself have had early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and have watched all of the women on my mothers side suffer from this. It is a surprisingly nasty disease, and seriously impairs your quality of life. I keep hoping that mine will take a very long time before really getting worse… You would be surprised at all of the other problems that this disease can cause! I wanted to share this study, in case some of you are skipping treatment due to lack of insurance. I don’t have insurance right now either, and I understand how tough it can be!

Details:

We’re currently helping a pharmaceutical company find people with rheumatoid arthritis who may be willing to participate in a research study in your area.

Additional Targeting Info: This disease is 2-3 times more common in women and occurs with increased frequency between the ages 30-60. Open to males and females 18+ (Only Certain Zipcodes Qualify).

Most people don’t understand what it’s like to have rheumatoid arthritis — or how limited medication can be at slowing its progression. I work with Acurian, a company that recruits people for clinical research studies. We’re currently helping a pharmaceutical company find people with rheumatoid arthritis who may be willing to participate in a research study in your area.

Local research doctors are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of an investigational drug in pill form that can be taken along with methotrexate, a common medication for rheumatoid arthritis. If you or a loved one has rheumatoid arthritis and take methotrexate as one of your medications, we’d like to share information with you about this study. See if you may qualify. Click here: Rheumatoid Arthritis Paid Study Opportunity.

Qualified participants may receive the following at no cost:

Study-related medication in pill form.
Study-related care from a local study doctor.
Study-related health assessments.
Compensation of up to $650 may be available for your time and travel. Specific compensation amounts will vary by research site.

After completing this study, you may also be able to take part in a long-term continuation study offering study medication and ongoing monitoring. This research study is enrolling now. Take the next step and see if you may qualify. Click here today: Rheumatiod Arthritis Paid Study.

I hope that this reaches someone that can really benefit from it, so if you know of anyone who suffers from RA, please feel free to forward this to them!

Have Allergies? Get Paid to Join New Study, Plus FREE Med’s.

If you suffer from Allergies, check this out:

Research study needs volunteers with seasonal allergies. I work with Acurian, a company that connects people with clinical research doctors. We’re currently helping a pharmaceutical company find people 5 to 65 years of age who suffer from seasonal allergies that are willing to participate in a clinical research study in many areas. This can be a really effective way to get affordable treatment, especially if you don’t currently have insurance.

Seasonal allergies may result in additional health problems, including asthma. Research doctors are enrolling today and health insurance is NOT required. All information is kept strictly confidential.

If you or your child is burdened with seasonal allergies, contact us right away to learn more about the benefits and risks of the study. Click here: Allergy Study to learn more.

Qualified participants may receive at no-cost:

Study-related doctor visits and examinations up to 15 months.
Investigational oral medication.
Allergy medications during the 2012 pollen season.
Compensation for time and travel. {This means that they will PAY you to participate in this trial!}

I’ve never been a part of a research trial, but I have some family members who have, and they thought it was WELL worth the time they spent, and have all said that they were very safe and would do them again. If you participate, {I wasn’t in the right area} let me know how it goes….
