Since 1992, I've directed my company (MBA Company) with concentration for 
"Health Improving Supplements and Products" = those that Give Results !

Why do I start from 1992 --- especially since we incorporated in Pennsylvania in
1961 --- as:  MERCHANDISE BUYERS ASSOCIATION --- a/k MBA Company.

Distribution and service was our forte.  But, in mid 1991, I [a healthy man], did
join those who neglect their health and end up "SICK".  The traditional
system, (in six months) did not work for me.  Something else did.
Continue from the 1992 start -- Our concentration on HEALTH!

You will be viewing this site sometime after today (October, 2009) and I (as webmaster) feel you
 need to know of the major problems that still  affect many health sufferers. 

It is an Epidemic!  Do, check the following NOW!

Have worked 18 years using serious Research for each supplement that DOES what it claims their
supplement WILL DO.  We've concentrated on "which" supplement to present and let our
customers and followers know.  Much is here. 

Take the time to learn about "what may be your particular health situation" ---
Begin to live and enjoy Better Health ----

CHECK            COLON KNOWLEDGE            THESE

In earlier time, we advanced the prominence of my Interior Design and Services Organization by use of FM radio and use of Mailings to our customer listings. Yes, that company developed because of good customer relationship of good products, and backed everything by courteous service.   Servicing products and giving service to my customers was my business!

You and I know that time evolves and changes bring about the "thing to do" as life progresses.

After a "bout" with failing health in 1991 (which the traditional system did not fix for me), I found the merits of Alternative and Nutritional Health, plus "computers".  I was "lucky".  I found a "FIX" for my health situation!

We recognized the value of the Computer and use of the Internet over 18 years and have been advancing our company and the products we have selected to represent = by using the INTERNET. With many of our products, it gives us Global Representation and Distribution. 

So, what are we doing and why?     We "Provide a means": 

MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express credit cards are accepted.

Products which often are not widely known or available are brought to you here too.  This is part of our value to you.  Often these are outstanding supplements with track records to give results.  Much effort is utilized to do this and do it properly. 
We check and confirm what the manufacturer claims.  Using  "due diligence" is part of our process to make sure the product gives desired results.

Just below    Just below

We are dedicated to providing Health Improving Products through Internet technology. 
Our group specializes in counseling with privacy-minded individuals. 

These products / supplements, are results of years of research and experience in finding 
those supplements that give the results they claim for the product.

As one of our clients / customers, you are able to:

1- Enjoy complete privacy, discretion, and dignity while addressing your condition
 during any communication with us.

2- Play an active role and participate in your own process of care.  It's not only  
important you understand our evaluation of your health protocol. You play
 an active part to make success better and faster to regain health.

3- Enjoy your health care in an enlightened manner and maintain better health.
 
4- Practitioners may find something in our offerings they can use. We do offer possibility for
Distributorship / re-seller, etc. If interested, contact us  More and more individuals
have become weary of the medical profession's attitude toward patient care.

Patients are often left with little or no choice as to their course of treatment or 
what medications they are permitted to take. 

Many people haven't found the "fix" for their or family-member health situations.
 A "fix" may not be the proper word, but, generally, they are still trying to find help.

We are dedicated to helping you make your own product / supplement choices.

We provide you with the health knowledge to help you make the selection.

It may also be from our selected products. You decide which health improving product
or service may bring help for your particular health situation.

  Many prefer the anonymity of an online discussion of their health situations.

We listen to you and after you [voluntarily] tell us what your needs may be and what situations
you feel as our progress to finding solutions for those "situations. We evaluate and suggest,
educationally,  the protocol you may wish to consider.

This may include educational literature and web sites that help 
you make your decisions for improving your health.

We do not take the position that the Internet replace the importance of seeing your doctor    
regularly. For my personal situations and that of family members, we still see the doctor for 
emergencies.  I do have scheduled "follow up" visits that enable the doctors to check me
 and decide if anything should be done.       Assurance!  That is part of it. 

The fact is:  What we present and sell helps many to find desired help for them. We have been 
"suggesting" for years that, in view of the health status and approach by the traditional system,
it is time for you to START TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN HEALTH.

What Products and Supplements does MBA make available?  It's now October , 2009 and I am going to list one of our comprehensive web sites --- which will list many products, and enable you to access a number of other product presentations, articles and other sites -- all to help educate you to what I've found during more then 17 years of

I deal with my customers on a personal basis. I started in the service business in 1952. 

I created Merchandise Buyers Association (MBA company) in 1961 --- as a membership organization. After my personal Health Problems in 1991, and after being saved by a product from the Alternative and Nutritional field, I (MBA) changed to HEALTH IMPROVING for those who are still endeavoring to find help for their situations.

With us:  "right or wrong, the customer is always right".    I have always done business on that basis.

I have developed much knowledge in the field of Health Improving Supplementation.  

Personal health situations brought about entry into the Alternative / Nutritional Health Field since early 1992.  Plus experience of family members and thousands of customers and by use of "due diligence" to ascertain that the product manufacturer's claims for the product perform = give desired results. Just thought I'd re-check how many years that has been --- I've been saying (now 17 years).  Yes, actually the 17th  year was completed in January of 2009.  Now, I'm in October of 2009.

If a product passes our "due diligence" tests, we then create web sites so that anyone who has been unable to find help for their ailments, may have a source to what may help them improve their own health. To enjoy life again.

From 1952 to about 1976, our organization utilized radio (FM) and direct mail. During that period we went through the "renting of space, to buying our facilities, then to building of our major facilities".  

                                               [These are Cost-Heavy operations).  The internet has changed all of that.

Yes, we were successful in what is generally called "a bricks and mortar business". But times change. Doing things that way adds much overhead.  Via the Internet and its abilities, we have eliminated most of that type of overhead expense. 
This enables us to supply products and services --- giving the best with greater savings to the customer.

People now want the best for their needs at the right price, yet with personal and courteous service. It was true in 1952 and even more so now that there is a more diverse population with exposure to greater education and ability to view the present as it leads to the future.

Future MBA success depends mostly by our use of the Internet.  All those other "expenses" (mentioned above) have been eliminated.  Again, we Price our Products Fairly.

Shipping of products: We use: The United States Postal Service --- (PRIORITY MAIL), EXPRESS MAIL, and Global via USPS  for International customers. We can also utilize FEDEX and / or UPS as needed for specific situations,

The past couple of years have proven to us and to our customers that by using the USPS PRIORITY MAIL system (and its other services), we can give the best overall service.  We use it approximately 85 % of the time.

For most products, we use a "flat price" ($ 7.00) per order shipment). In recent time, we've added some items that are heavier than 90 % of the others. One example = liquid in 32 ounces per bottle.  No increase in S & H Price for shipping those products. When people purchase more than one bottle of such an item, it costs us more than our standard $ 7.00 per shipment.   Thought about it but did nothing about it -- yet. 

But, really, since the USPS increased their prices in mid-May of 2009, these costs are becoming a "situation" --- may have to do something .....

About the S&H for the large Liquid Products --- the situation has now gotten SERIOUS ---

This is July, 2008.  In processing an order (this morning) for 6 bottles of the 32 ounce liquid  (the charge [as it's been] was
$ 7.00) --- well, since things have changed --- Fedex basically hasn't been even interested in liquid items / UPS --- like others, prices keep increasing -- and USPS  which we depended on for so many years, ---- NOW with their  "price changes" ----
which works like this:   It is the size of the box, the weight for the shipment, and the distance ----- so, sending the 6 bottles in the usual 9"x9"x9" box, cost was more than $ 30.00.

If I used the USPS PRIORITY mail it was going to be near $ 35.00.  By using 2 of what USPS calls FLAT RATE boxes
(why 2?  Because only 3 bottles fit into the FLAT RATE box and each cost us $ 9.80 just for the shipment. 
So, 9.80 X 2 = $ 19.80.  Repeating = that is only for shipping from our post office to destination / delivery address.

I will have the ISP / PROGRAMMER who does the ONLINE ORDER SITE for us and there will be a higher amount for such heavy items / shipments.   I either stop presenting such great items, or do not offer them at all.  Don't want to do that --- but

                 This gives all info on how to order + a Current Price listing.

Our telephone number is 724-935-1847;   FAX number = 724-935-0035; 
the Email is: amicos@aol.com. (Send feedback, ask questions, place orders, etc)

We pride ourselves in that invariably a live human answers your phone call.  If my voice mail service answers, please leave your name and telephone number so that I can call you back.  Slowly, and repeat it twice  so I can be sure to understand
and I will CALL YOU BACK.

 YES = I WILL CALL YOU BACK.  (I have to say this however: Please pronounce and if possible, spell your name, ditto, your phone number.  Often people speak fast and even when I re-listen to the message it's difficult to know the number and / or the name.  Easier and slower is the key.  I surely will appreciate that.  My hearing is fine.  Often I'm on a portable phone and that is not as good as a land line phone for clarity).  Why am I saying all this?

Over time, I've been asked:  At your age, and with all that you are doing, what is the future for the company if you are not there?  Very good question.  But, as I do mention in what is known as a "sig" or "signature" file =  http://www.merc-buyers.com/signature_file.htm   there are four daughters, 4 grandsons, and several nephews that come into play.  In fact, for the most part, 2 daughters are in the health industry and one is a practitioner that services many of the health situations MBA products help with.  My daughters can handle all aspects.  I KNOW!  Have educated them in all MBA information.

So, longevity and continuance are under control.   They are capable to handle all aspects.  Processing orders, packaging, shipments, paper work, etc.   "If Mike is not here, MBA continues = whether it is for 1 day or If Mike is "gone".  

And that means that MBA will then be a "Woman owned Business".  That's Good!

If the preliminaries are understood, let us proceed to learn about the superb products we have been so fortunate to find and present to YOU our customer / and potential customers.
