Help for AUTISM, LOWER GI ISSUES, IMMUNE SYSTEM
 
To share with you, I use OmegaGuard, VitaLea with Iron, and OptiFlora for my family. My younger son has autism and has benefited greatly from Citriboost when he was young and now OptiFlora to help him with lower GI issues. My husband takes OmegaGuard and changed to Shaklee years ago because other brands caused a fish taste. I take the VitaLea with Iron, Vit. D, Calcium and have also tried a few others. I think the VitaLea has helped me keep my immune system strong. My Mom uses the VitaPak and recently added Nutriferon to combat an autoimmune.  

Best,

Shaklee is just too expensive!! I agree. BUT…you won’t believe why.

A little background to set the stage: During my late teens and early 20's I suffered with chronic bacterial & fungal infections (multiple types, multiple systems) with no known cause. I had exploratory surgery THREE times...more questions, no answers. I was poked and probed and medicated way too often. I was on antibiotics so often (for bacterial infections), they stopped working effectively. My next, and only remaining option if I continued needing regular antibiotic treatment, was IV antibiotics. Specialists told me I was a mystery, ultimately confessing that they didn’t know what else to do, but that they could just continue to "try" different things to see if we could find something, anything, to help me. Just throw mud at the wall and see what sticks???



In addition to conventional medicine, I also saw a chiropractor regularly (which I believe helped more than anything else during those years), took vitamins and herbs (tried lots of types, brands, etc.), had acupuncture treatments, and underwent intensive and specialized physical therapy. Looking back now, I realize my diet wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. I "survived" through those years (nearly a decade), and ultimately ended up believing as long as I didn't have an infection, I was healthy.
 
Enter my introduction to Shaklee: Needless to say, by the time I was introduced to Shaklee, I was jaded and cynical. I believe my exact words (watching someone about to take their Shaklee supplements) were, "What is all that CRAP you're taking?!" The lady kindly responded, "They’re not crap, they’re Shaklee." Oh great, another one of "those" people, the ones who think their stuff is SO different. I’d heard all I needed to hear in that short exchange to dismiss Shaklee and move on. But a seed had been planted, and over time, my curiosity watered it.



Long story short, after a time and some searching, I decided, skeptically, to try those over-priced "pills." I mean, they offered a money-back guarantee, so why not? That was in 2002…12 years ago. In all the time since then, I've only required medical treatment for bacterial infections twice (and once was because a Shaklee product I use daily was unavailable for an extended period of time). So why did Shaklee fly in the face of all reason and ACTUALLY WORK? It certainly wasn’t because they were more or less expensive than the other brands I’d tried.
 
The evidence: Read on if you'd like to know what I spent years researching and learning and coming to KNOW 1st hand.



* Shaklee only develops and produces products proven by real research, real testing, and real results ON THE VERY PRODUCTS they produce (most other companies borrow 3-party research, which says absolutely nothing about their ingredients, formulations, or products). Shaklee has spent close to 300 million in R&D, more than the next largest companies combined!

* Shaklee only uses ingredients THEY scrutinize (they don't take the word of supplier certifications). Shaklee performs 100,000 quality tests a year to ensure purity and potency (350 tests on every botanical ingredient for harmful contaminants and 240 more tests for pesticides than required by the US Pharmacopeia, just to name a couple).

* Shaklee goes even further than other companies by testing THEIR FINAL PRODUCTS (most companies only test before, and some during production, if at all). The final product is what you can count on with Shaklee. That’s why the one-of-a-kind Landmark Study done by researchers at the University of California Berkley School of Public Health and published in Nutrition Journal, showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who didn’t. As Shaklee says, "Plenty of companies claim their products work. But at Shaklee, we prove it."

* Speaking of studies, Shaklee has nearly 100 PEER-REVIEWED scientific studies, on Shaklee products. That means the research, processes, conclusions, etc are heavily scrutinized, and the studies can be duplicated with the same results expected. In other words, the science is real and worthwhile. NO OTHER COMPANY compares to Shaklee when it comes to real science.

* If there's an ingredient that doesn't live up to Shaklee’s standards, they will simply stop production and remove the product from availability UNTIL such time they can secure quality ingredients. That means NO compromise for safety or efficacy to make a profit...ever!

* Shaklee develops and brings to market what NO other nutritional company can, in ways NO other company can, and have for nearly 60 years!!

* The FDA only has praise for Shaklee, and has NEVER issued a recall for any Shaklee product…in their nearly 60 year production history…that’s unheard of in the nutrition industry!
 
* Big Pharma doesn't care for Shaklee, and for good reason. The more people take charge of their health and wellness by using quality, safe, natural options like the ones Shaklee offers, the more serious a threat to profit for drug companies. And just as a side note (here’s a freebie), the next time you’re watching TV and a drug commercial comes on, close your eyes and just listen. Those pesky side effects (including death for some) are so slickly masked by happy, smiling people. Perhaps this is why drugs are never marketed on the radio. Time to take the masks off. The bottom line: I passionately share Shaklee because it’s a gift…of restoration, hope, healing, and so much more. I am honored to help others explore their options and become informed consumers, which is why I offer free consultations, program and dietary recommendations, lunch tastings, etc. In today's drug-dependant and "counterfeit" natural products market, it's so very easy to be jaded and skeptical...I know!! I quite literally tried it ALL (and remained ill for nearly a decade) before I finally found something that worked…Shaklee. That was 12 years ago and I thank GOD every single day!!



Over the last 12 years, I’ve gained such a wealth of knowledge and experience and had the privilege of helping many others reclaim their health and quality of life. I believe my entire journey, from illness to health, and everything in between, is divine by design…so that I could be who I am and know what I know today…to help.

Is Shaklee really too expensive? I guess it all depends on how much you value your health, safety, and quality of life. Health, good or bad, will cost you something…it’s largely up to you how you pay for it!

Are you ready to take action with what’s been laid before you? I’m ready to help.
 
Be A.L.I.V.E. by Choice!

Mary's Story

I’ve had allergies all my life! I’ve lived in a number of different places and no matter where I lived I had the typical allergy symptomsl… itchy eyes… nose that constantly dripped… congestion that caused too many headaches… difficulty sleeping because I couldn’t breathe… no enjoyment of the outdoors… etc. In other words, I was miserable, miserable, miserable!

I eventually found an allergy specialist who recommended allergy shots… one shot a week for two years. They did absolutely nothing for me other than make my arm itch. Have you ever thought of a possible overdose? Neither had I, but I received a dose that was many times more potent than intended. Talk about having difficulty breathing! A visit overnight in the hospital was not what I envisioned for my allergy relief. No more shots for me. No thanks. Not interested.

Prescription drugs and OTC (Over The Counter) medications became my allergy program…spring… fall… year round. Many allergy sufferers can’t sleep at night because of closed air passages and that was certainly true for me. Most nights I used drugs to help me breath. All the drugs claim to give allergy relief, but I found I had very limited success. Even while on drugs, I had allergy symptoms.

And then there was Shaklee. In 1999 my sister introduced me to Shaklee. She had recently started using some of the products and told me about them. What interested me the most, though, was alfalfa. When she told me that alfalfa helps with allergies I jumped at the chance to try it! After a couple of months I got off all medication and relied totally on alfalfa. I’ve never looked back!

 In 2005 I began using NutriFeron for a completely different health issue, but what I’ve found is that NutriFeron along with Alfalfa has really boosted my immune system. I don’t even realize when it’s allergy season anymore!

Then and now. What a difference! I suffered many years thinking this was just my lot in life. Then I found a solution that really worked. Not just some of the time, but all of the time! Itchy eyes, runny and congested nose… all gone. Nasal passages open at night… breathing good! Picnics? You bet.

And I’m smelling the flowers! I have a life without allergies.

Help for: Son's ADD issues, Mom's Energy, Hormones, Immunity!!


My Shaklee journey began in August 2013. I was dreading the start of third grade for my son. In the end of second grade he was given an ADD diagnosis, with the looming possibility of having to put him on medication in order to well in school. At the same time, I was (and had been for 4 years) struggling with chronic fatigue, severe hormone imbalance, and frequent illness. Then I was introduced to Shaklee nutrition for children and for women. By November, my son’s school performance had improved 100%! He was finishing his assignments with the same speed, focus, and organization as his peers. He even noticed the improvement himself, which was the biggest blessing of all. Similiarly, my energy had improved tremendously in the first few weeks of taking Shaklee supplements. By the third month, I was having to “force” myself to go to bed at a decent hour! Likewise, the symptoms of my hormone imbalances were disappearing. By December, everyone else in the community around me was getting sick and I did not catch a single virus. This was the first December in years that I didn’t have to miss parties and festivities from being sick. Even now, I’m continuing to notice new and continual health improvements each month: better mood, less fever blister breakouts, etc… The benefits are just amazing!

I did not join Shaklee to begin a business, however, I began to be aware of people around me who were struggling with the same health issues that my son and I had been. It was only natural to share the products which have changed our lives so tremendously and positively! As other people have begun using Shaklee products and have experienced similar amazing results, I have found much JOY in sharing with and helping others! If a person’s health is compromised, then everything else in their lives will be compromised as well: relationships with family and friends, job productivity, ability to help and serve in the community around, and the list goes on…as the old saying goes, “if you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything!”

Great cholesterol results!


When I went for my yearly physical, the doctor (a new doctor) was reading the blood results and she looked at me with that perplexed look on her face and said: “Are you sure you don’t take any prescription for cholesterol?” And I replied “NO”. She told me that my count couldn’t be better, the good and the bad cholesterol were short of being faked! In addition to great cholesterol, my blood pressure is great, and I can’t say that I exercise regularly and that my diet is all fruits and vegetables. But the Vitalizer Gold seems to be balancing my not so perfect lifestyle. I also noticed my energy level is constant, and PMS are minimized. I feel great, and I think it shows. Thanks Shaklee!    Louise Lamy

Getting great results!

From a happy client:

Good news - I am down another pound!

Thanks for all of your support, I really appreciate it.  Know that I am working the program to the best of my ability, and am having results that I'm happy with.  The program is pretty easy to follow with the preplanned meal shakes and bars.  It helps me to remember to eat and not wait until I'm starving to go hunting for food.  And I do feel more vitality and have noticed it's easier to get out of bed without pain in the morning.

"I feel normal again!"


Happy Friday Becky!  J 

I’m continuing to have success on the 180 plan and am amazed at how much better I feel today than I did when I started Monday.  My tummy had been very tight and irritated for almost 2 weeks prior to starting the cleanse and today I feel just about “normal” again.    I also look forward to my shakes and enjoy preparing my healthy meal and snacks for the day.  J  I bought some Fiber Way cereal and it’s really good.  I eat a cup plain with my shake in the morning and some fruit.  Then for lunch I brought a piece of salmon and some raw veggies and have been drinking lots of water.  I woke up this morning and saw a difference in my tummy already and had a glimpse of what I WILL look like slim again!  It was amazing and I know, THIS time, I will not stop UNTIL I reach my goal! 

I love you.
