3. MESSAGE EXECUTIVE
MOMENTUM CONTINUES
As the first half of 2007 comes to a close, we are pleased with all that has been
accomplished thus far this year, and we see a very busy “second half ” coming.
The momentum generated by our first convention continues, as distributors make good
use of all the new business enhancements we introduced there. The size of the StemGem
Team has greatly expanded, and we have welcomed our very first President's Club Member!
The success of the pet products and trial size sample paks has been quite impressive. The
new Senior Manager and Director Paks are also big hits. The conversion to our new,
terborg media group
upgraded software system was about as smooth as we could hope for and the new Back Office
is receiving universal accolades.
Our "global team" has been very busy preparing new countries for our international
expansion. Mexico has already opened and is breaking all kinds of records. Planned for the
second half of 2007 are new offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa and
Singapore.
We have many more distributors on the verge on receiving brand-new BMWs through
our Car Bonus Program, and the WealthBuilder's web site has proven to be another great tool
in your recruiting arsenal.
And of course, don't forget the Director Leadership Conference coming up this fall in
sunny Southern California. It's a weekend guaranteed to propel your business from the high
growth season right through the year-end holidays.
Hope to see you soon at one or more of our exciting upcoming events around the globe!
Ray C. Carter, Jr.
President & CEO
ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE
Since Canada has been part of our STEMTech family from the beginning, we have been
an international company already. Still, the recent opening of Mexico marks our first step
toward global expansion. And what a success it was! At the STEMTech pre-Launch in the
United States in November of 2005, we had 650 people and that was a great success. In
Mexico, we reached more than 1,200 people during our pre-Launch regional tour!
Congratulations to Oscar Rosas, our VP of Latin American Markets and his team, and all
terborg media group
the distributors who played a crucial role in the success of the opening of the Mexican
market.
As those who were present will tell you, the opening of Mexico was an undeniable
success. But what impressed me the most were the people and the quality of the networking
taking place in Mexico. People of Mexico are familiar with the concept of stem cells, well
versed in the use of plant-based products, eager to develop ways to increase their quality of
life, and they show a unique sense of teamwork. Our vision of expansion is tied to the
concept of one world, one people, as hearts have no borders. So think about who you might
know in Mexico, reach out and be part of this expansion. It is bound to be a great adventure.
Blessings,
Christian Drapeau

The enthusiasm of the large, flag-waving
delegation from Puerto Rico was echoed throughout
the large assembly hall, as old friends gathered and
new friends got acquainted. The air was electric!
Soon the Global Team was introduced: George
Antarr, Oscar Rosas, Andy Goodwin, Jonathan
Lim, and Errol Lester. We also welcomed Donna
Antarr M.D., who will work closely with Christian
Drapeau.
The applause for the Global Team had hardly
died down when Christian brought the audience to
its feet by introducing TWO new products,
TM TM
StemPets and StemEquine . And when Ray
introduced the new marketing tools… well,
everyone was super-charged!
The weekend’s training was positively top-notch.
General Session presentations and a complete
schedule of workshops were highlights for many, as
were the tours of STEMTech headquarters and
VitaTech International.
But Saturday evening takes the prize for the most
exciting highlights. The fabulous Awards Ceremony
led into the big surprise: The mist and curtains
parted to reveal a gleaming BMW, as Ray
introduced the 2007 Car Bonus Program. And

People all over Mexico want to learn more about StemEnhance. They flock to meetings
and small gatherings - anywhere that a STEMTech field leader is speaking - and they come
away with an eagerness to make StemEnhance part of their lives. Each meeting generates a

pile of New Distributor applications, as Mexican citizens take advantage of the discounts
available to STEMTech distributors.
At the STEMTech Pre-Launch in Guadalajara, Ray Carter, Christian Drapeau, VP Oscar
Rosas and many of our top Field Leaders introduced StemEnhance to Mexico for the first
time. The Guadalajara audience applauded enthusiastically as both Ray and Christian did
their entire presentations in Spanish, a language unfamiliar to both of them only a few months
ago. “We were so gratified by the warmth of the reception we experienced,” Ray says. “In
meetings and in casual conversation, we were greeted with such a welcoming spirit and
wonderful hospitality.” Christian agrees, adding, “It was a heartwarming and humbling
experience.”
While STEMTech headquarters for Mexico is located in Guadalajara, the introduction of
StemEnhance to Mexico has extended far into the countryside of this large country. Following
the Guadalajara events, Christian, Oscar and Triple Diamonds Anna Gallman, Dr. Enrique
Martinez and Izzy Matos traveled to Colima, where they held regional meetings for general
attendance and invitation-only meetings for medical professionals. Christian, Anna and
Enrique went on to Manzanillo for more regionals. Every meeting was infused with
enthusiasm, as participants eagerly took in every bit of information shared from the podium. STEMTECH I
Following the presentations, there was a rush for both product and applications. “It was
hectic,” Enrique says, “but also exciting!”
Then Anna and her new Mexican team traveled to Poza Rica, Veracruz, where Padre
Johnny (See Rising Stars) was the motivating force behind a
gathering of 710 people at the open meeting and 88 doctors at
the special meeting for medical professionals! With additional
small meetings held in hotel suites, restaurants, or “almost
anywhere,” Anna says she came away with “two full binders
