Bone Density

Hi Rita,

I had a bone density scan and I now have normal bone density. In 2007 I was diagnosed with osteopenia shortly after I found out I had celiac. With the gluten free diet, Shaklee vitamins and exercise I have been able to improve my bone density.  When I was diagnosed with osteopenia I was told that the best I could hope for was to maintain the bone density.  I am so happy about these results!

These are age matched scores, I am 46

and menopausal.

A Parkinson’s Update

A quick update on my husband, Chuck, who has Parkinson’s.  He celebrated his 81^st birthday last fall, still bowling (just not as good, but when he has a 'good' night it sure makes him smile!), still taking only one prescription med (fairly low dose Sinemet for Parkinson’s).  He has no real issues with Parkinson’s, his cholesterol or his heart.  He puts Vivix in his strawberry Cinch Protein shake every morning and takes lots of Shaklee food supplements morning and evening. He’s no longer biking and dancing, and has slowed down some--‐but I'll tell ya, for an 81 year old man diagnosed with PD 8 years ago, he's doing darn good! And his 'lights are still on'! He lost that mask face symptom after starting Vivix in 2008, when this product was first introduced.

A Nutriferon Testimonial

Last week for the first time in at least a decade, I got sick with a nasty cold and congestive flu. I was shocked!  And this was so awful it put me in bed!  I think I caught it at my grandson's state basketball tournament.  He was sick and playing with a 101 degree temperature!  I thought I'd let you know what I did to get over it and maybe this will help others, too.

When Nutriferon came out several years ago, I took it to keep my immune system strong while teaching.  That happened, but I was surprised when taking it also eliminated the seasonal allergies and sinus problems I'd suffered from for many years.  Since then I've faithfully taken two a day and have never had any more problems with either of those conditions.  Plus, I haven't had any colds, and that's been a blessing, but I did catch one last week.  So, as I was in bed, miserable and emptying a kleenex box, I thought that if a person can take two Tylenol every four hours when sick, then I could surely take two Nutriferon every four hours.  That's what I did and by the next morning all of the symptoms were totally gone!  I was really amazed and so happy that I could get up and get going again! 

I was sharing this with you this morning, and you both told similar stories of how Nutriferon has helped you and others you know with different health conditions. I think the immune system, just like any part of the body, benefits from being fed what it needs, and when it's overtaxed, it just needs more help.  Sometimes, for me,  it's been a matter of experimenting a bit to discover which Shaklee products and what amounts of those products are needed.

I hope this is encouraging to anyone who reads it - that the power to give the body what it needs to sustain and build health is within our Shaklee grasp.

Tips and Tricks

THOSE LAST 10 POUNDS … H E L P !

I can't tell you how long I've wanted to lose "just" 10 lbs.  So last July, I decided this time I was going to do it.  I increased my workouts and hoped for the best.  Well after a frustrating month with no results, I added CINCH twice daily.  By the next month, I was seeing results, and by Thanksgiving I had lost 15 lbs!  Best part....CINCH is helping me maintain my new weight!

Clothes: Wet the area of the stain, sprinkle with Nature Bright.  Rub Nature Bright into the stain and let set for a short time.  Re--‐wet and scrub the stains away.  This is proven to be 50% more effective than Oxyclean.  Use Nature Bright (same process as for clothes) to brighten up and remove stains in your sink ... It works great and is so pleasant to work with.  Many love how it works on carpets: 1 tsp. Nature Bright, 1 Tsp Basic H2 In 8--‐10 oz of warm water to remove stains on carpets. (test first)

Powerful Business for Women

According to Robert Kiyosaki, Business for the 21st century, “Network Marketing is a powerful business for women.  This may be due in part because it is uniquely compatible with the demands of a family.”

Mr. Kiyosaki also says that the U.S. statistics about women are startling.  Here are two he stated: “47% of women over age 50 are single, and are financially responsible for themselves.  Women’s retirement income is less than that of men because as the primary caretaker for the home, a woman is away from the work force an average of 14.7 years, as compared to 1.6 years for men.  Add this fact to the lower salaries women still receive, and you have retirement benefits that are only about one--‐quarter those of men. (National Center for Women And RetirementResearch)

 I am happy to have Shaklee as mine and my husband's safety net.  Because Network Marketing issuch a powerful business for women it is important to align yourself with a company with a proven strong and stable track record to invest your >me and future into.  As America’s number one natural nutrition company, Shaklee has paid more than $5 billion in commissions all the while helping people like yours and mine live healthier, richer and happier lives.  I Love partnering with Shaklee for these very reasons plus instead of making cuts in this economy, they are adding to the benefits package.  AND I get to work from home in several expanding markets!

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

In Remission!

I was diagnosed at age 16 with eczema, and at age 20 with lactose in-tolerance, spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome, anemia, menstrual problems.  After having 3 children, I started adding to my list of health issues including cervical dysplasia, fibroid tumors, chronic sinus infections, neck problems, 2 lower herniated discs – causing foot problems, nerve damage, torn rotator cuff, heart symptoms, rosacea, acid reflux and high blood pressure.

My life was a full fast paced one but the side effects from medications slowed me down, masked the symptoms, and depleted me of vitamins and minerals.  In 2003, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and later Celiac disease.

With the guidance of my Shaklee distributor and a Nutritional Consultant, I chose to make dietary changes and committed to a Shaklee nutritional program.  Within 4 months, I was off all my meds including my high blood pressure medicine and all the pain medications, even NSAID’S.  Instead I used the Shaklee Pain Relief and Joint Health Complex to manage pain.

I have had no back surgery, no hysterectomy, my heart is healthy, my allergies are under control and my Rheumatoid Arthritis has been in remission for 6 years!

I feel better than I did 25 years ago. For the past 5 years, I have only visited my Doctor for the annual wellness check up. I thank God for Shaklee and the people He used to guide me in restoring my health.  Because of my health improvement, it is my mission to help others prevent and overcome disease which has led me to have my own Shaklee business (something I never dreamed I would do) and teach others to build businesses too. I love sharing the gift of Shaklee.

Bake it better!

Roll these cookies in raw sugar (often called turbinado) for a sparkly, crunchy finish, or in powdered sugar for a softly sweet bite.

Alzheimer’s Symptoms Greatly Reduced

A woman shared with Debbie Garrison an amazing story about her mom who had been diagnosed with Alzhiemer’s  5 years previous.  She and her sisters were taking care of her at home, and hated the results of the drugs, so they discontinued them.  Their Mom had not dressed herself in two years, had to be fed all her meals and recognized very few family members.  She had little or no interest in anyone or anything and rarely spoke.  Then the girls started their mother on Shaklee Vivix.  One day during the second month of taking Vivix, their Mom began to talk, and one of the first things she said was “I want to go to the kitchen and fix myself a peanut butter sandwich.”  This, from a lady who had not fixed a meal in years!  After 3 months on Vivix, their Mom was recognizing most of her guests, was feeding herself, and enjoying her company.

Vivix contains 15 polyphenols and over 60,000 antioxidants, with RESVERATROL being one of the primary ingredients.  Dr. David Sinclair’s research proved that this substance repairs and protects DNA at the cellular level.  That is the only possible explanation for this wonderful health testimony.
