Valued Distributors,
On behalf of AKUNA and myself, I would like to use this opportunity to wish you all a happy,
healthy and successful New Year!
I would also like to reflect upon the year 2005, during which many exciting highlights have
taken place. We saw the opening of two new international offices: AKUNA Deutschland
opened its doors in February and AKUNA Ukraine just this past November. We have witnessed the rise of many new Distributors and there are more AKUNA vehicles on the road
in North America and across the globe than ever before.
None of this would be possible without you, our partners and our friends. You are all an
important part of the extended AKUNA family and together we are making a difference.
Thank you for making 2005 an unforgettable year and may we share many more great and
memorable moments in the years to come!
Warmest wishes from our family to yours,
Michael Forst
AKUNA CEO

BONESET
Common Names:
Feverwort, Thoroughwort, Sweating
plant, Indian sage, Agueweed
Botanical Name:
Eupatorium perfoliatum
Parts used:
Aerial parts
Active Components:
Quercetin, Kaempferol, Rutin,
Eupatorin, Sesquiterpene, Volatile oil,
Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Resin
History:
Native Americans used boneset as a
treatment for a wide range of infectious
and fever-related conditions because of
its sweat-inducing properties. They
introduced it to early colonists, who
eventually adopted the use of the plant
for conditions such as influenza,
cholera, malaria, and typhoid. It was
also used by the Native Americans to
alleviate arthritis and treat colds, indi-
gestion, constipation, and loss of
appetite.
Early herbalists believed that boneset
was helpful in setting bones. That is
how the plant is said to have gotten its
English name.
Looks like:
Boneset is a member of the Sunflower
Family (Asteracea). Its rough and hairy
stem grows 2-5 feet in height; its leaves
are rough and taper to a long point; and
its flowers are white or rarely purple
and bloom July through October.
Where it’s grown:
Boneset is very common in the eastern
parts of North America and can be
found growing along streams, swampy
areas and in low meadows.
Use:
Boneset is an excellent remedy for
colds and fever, especially for the flu.
Studies suggest that it helps in effec
tively treating minor viral and bacterial
infections by stimulating white blood
cells to destroy disease-causing
microorganisms. Studies also suggest
that it is mildly anti-inflammatory, which
supports its traditional use of treating
arthritis. In addition, there is some medical evidence that shows that Boneset
also boosts the immune system.

New NND and RND share their success story!
How working
together gets
results!
Janina Sergiel and Katrzyna Kepska
had never met before. They were first
introduced when Katarzyna began introducing Janina to Akuna’s Marketing
Plan. Janina is in the second level of
Katarzyna’s Organization and although
she praises the product, when it comes
to business, she needed help. That is
how this true partnership began; and
there is no doubt that working together
has resulted in success for both of
them. In November, Janina was promoted to Regional Network Director and
Katarzyna is Akuna’s new National
Network Director.
When it comes to approaching people,
both ladies share the same views: “You
cannot be pushy because people have the right to make up
their own minds. This work is
not about going from door to
door; it’s about educating people and building a relationship
with them. This relationship
must first and foremost be built
on trust. You must be genuine
and work together; and that,
not competition, is the main
secret to success!”
Janina and Katarzyna both
strongly believe in the effectiveness of the product and they consider this work as passing on “goodness to
others”. After all, it’s completely natural
and part of our human nature to want to
share something we know can make a
difference in other peoples’ lives. They
believe that this product is so essential
for today’s day and age, mainly due to
the tremendous stresses and environmental factors, which humans have to
endure on a daily basis.
New NND Katarzyna Kepska with
new RND Janina Sergiel
For the time being, Janina is still working part-time but in the near future, her
husband and herself plan on dedicating
most of their time to Akuna; and then
there will be no stopping her from following in Katarzyna’s footsteps. As for
Katarzyna, she plans to continue working with Akuna full time and spreading
the “goodness to others”.

Once you start,
you do not quit!
Barbara Michalik is one of Akuna’s new
Division Leaders. She began working
with Akuna in March of 2004 and
advanced to her new position in
November. At the beginning she dedicated about seven hours per week to
building her Akuna Organization but
recently she has become much more
active. She says that she really enjoys
this kind of work, in which she has previous experience. A few years ago, for
example, she was involved with another
MLM company. But she says that her
experience of working in a sales department is what taught her a lot. It is there
that she acquired broad experience and
gained the necessary skills, all of which
are the keys to success. “Furthermore,”
she says, “since using Alveo, my health
condition has improved. I also find that I
am now, more than ever before, in a
good frame of mind.” Another key to
success!
Barbara has the complete support of
her family: Her son Patryk and his girlfriend Ewelina are always encouraging
her; but her best motivation comes from
her husband, Maciej, who is “extremely
engaged in this business” and who
helps her immensely. His expertise, off
course, is not surprising since Maciej is
one of Akuna’s top Independent
Distributors. (Maciej Michalik was promoted to National Network Director in
September 2005).
Barbara’s motto is: “Once you start, you
do not quit! The most important thing is
to make the decision to start.” Akuna to
her represents: fulfillment, self-reliance
and financial freedom. It’s a way of
making some extra money on the side
while taking care of your health.

Q & A with RND Michael Kalayev...
Europe, I can see an even bigger
opportunity for us, here in the US.
How has your life changed since
Akuna?
After I began drinking Alveo consistently,
I noticed that I had more energy and
began to feel more alive. In the short
period of only five months I became a
Regional Network Director. That is a
great success. I already have financial
stability and my business is growing
every day.
New RND Michael Kalayev
When did you start with Akuna?
I joined Akuna on May 11th 2005, when
my sponsor Liliya Hrebennikova introduced me to Alveo and Akuna’s
Marketing Plan. Having worked in the
Natural Health Food Industry, I found
Alveo a very unique product and the
Marketing Plan seemed to have great
potential.
Have you ever done anything similar? If yes, how is Akuna different?
I have been in multi-level-marketing for
over nine years. That taught me how to
communicate with other people. Looking
at the success AKUNA has had in
What do you find is the best part
about Akuna and your Akuna business?
The best part about my Akuna business
is that my people can make money right
away; in the first month they start.
What does your family think about
your Akuna business?
My family is totally supportive of me,
and they are part of my organization.
They consistently drink Alveo and promote the product and the business.
What are your goals when it comes
to Akuna and your Akuna business?
My goal is to build my organization to be
big and strong. I work with people that
speak English, Russian, Lithuanian,
Spanish and other languages. I believe
that this will help me expand my business throughout the United States and
eventually internationally as well.
What would your advice be for someone that is just starting off in this
business?
My advice for the beginners would be
simple: every person should know what
they want to achieve. They have to have
a goal and a particular time frame. In
order to help my new partners, I have to
know what they want to gain and how
soon. They must reach this goal step by
step but work on it consistently for at
least a few hours every day. If they are
patient, they will soon see the results.
Additional Comments:
I would like to thank all of those within
my entire organization for their hard
work and sincere dedication in building
our team (organization) in USA and
Europe. Also I would like to thank all of
my up lines, especially Frank Brazda
and Agnes Wojewoda for their coaching
and their support. I wish all distributors
much success and
health.
