Please click on the link below to watch a very short video (1
minute 36

leading brands of multi-vitamins (Costco, GNC, One A Day Women’s)
to Shaklee. You will be AMAZED!
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.

Parkinson’s Update
A quick update on my husband, Chuck, who has Parkinson’s. He celebrated his 81st 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.

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.

vitamin”. Vitamin D3 Impacts muscle strength,
cancer, MS, diabetes, depression, hypertension, osteoporosis, autism, arthritis,
thyroid, lupus, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and the list goes on and on. Click here for the Vitamin

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.

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.
