SHAKLEE POWERED ENERGY!!

Hey Becky...

Checking in for the month...please order Vitalizer & chocolate Energizing Soy Protein powder.  Love that protein powder...it has gotten me through this hot summer by boosting my energy level for sure.  Im grateful for it!

 

The sustained energy  has led to greater memory.  With multiple sclerosis I was concerned about returning to work full time when my daughter turned 10.  But with Women's Vitalizer and soy protein powder I am able to give 100 percent at work the whole day.   And the afternoon fatique which used to hit me hard is much less.

LIFE EXTENDED FROM 3 MONTHS TO 12 YEARS!!

Here’s the story about my Dad.

Back in the summer of 1999 my Dad was admitted to the hospital with congestive heart failure. Dad was 75 years old at the time. His cardiologist called the family together and asked us to meet him in one of the consultation rooms at the hospital. When everyone was together, the doctor informed our family that the rheumatic fever Dad had when he was in his early teens had pe...rmanently damaged his heart and that with the congestive heart failure, his heart was functioning at about 15 percent of its capacity. The picture he painted for us was pretty bleak. He told us that Dad’s heart would eventually kill him and that he had about 3 months left to live.

There are a few details about this situation that need to be mentioned. First of all, when the doctor told Dad that his heart was functioning at 15 percent, Dad thought he said 50 percent. He didn’t think that was too bad, he had at least a 50/50 chance. Secondly, Dad was an engineer for 41 years. He did everything in his life exact within a thousandth of an inch. He was used to figuring out what the worst possible scenario would be, and then prepare for every possible eventuality. So when his doctor gave him instructions of what he needed to do, Dad followed them to the letter. Well, almost all of them. The one thing he would not do, that the doctor told him to do, was he would not stop taking his Shaklee vitamins.

Well, it turns out that the doctor was wrong. Dad did not live for another 3 months. Dad lived for another 12 wonderful years. The doctor was also wrong about what would be the cause of Dad’s death. His heart did not kill him. The medications he was taking for his heart eventually caused his kidneys to shut down, that’s what ended up taking his life.

The truth is, the Shaklee vitamins helped extend his life by 12 years. The medications the doctor prescribed eventually killed him.

DOCTOR AMAZED! NO MEDS AT AGE 81!

"We continue to enjoy the supplements! Neither of us are on any drugs, which most people can’t begin to imagine. Fred’s last check up – the doctor just shook his head and said he couldn’t believe he was 81 and in such great health. Don’t know if he would have been without Shaklee or not? He has to list everything he is taking – the Dr said he is not familiar with Shaklee but impressed!
We just plug along each day counting our blessings! Life is good!"

Hugs, Mona

LYMES - BITTEN EIGHT TIMES!!

Thanks to Shaklee, I will be antibiotic-free for one year this July!

Five years ago, I was bitten by a deer tick. It did not leave the customary red circle and..., because it was nothing more than irritated, I did not seek medical attention. By the following winter, I developed symptoms which were increasingly difficult to explain including “brain fog”, night sweats, “burning” sensations on my legs, dizziness and more.

The following May, after hiking in the neighboring Virginia fields, I was bitten twice by deer ticks. This time, the area was red and swollen but still no characteristic bull’s eye. By the tenth day, I became violently ill. My previous symptoms worsened, I developed a fever of 103 degrees, had difficulty walking, experienced extreme fatigue, as well as several other symptoms.

My doctor recognized the symptoms and immediately placed me on doxycycline. The initial test returned negative results for Lyme. Due to insurance regulations, my doctor could keep me on antibiotics for no longer than 6 weeks. Following the 6 week antibiotic therapy, I still carried a fever of 100 degrees (which lasted for a total of 3 months) as well as many other symptoms.

 Immediately, I sought the help of a Lyme specialist who tried several tests before one came back positive for Lyme. She kept me on weekly antibiotics throughout the first year. As I had success using Shaklee’s multivitamins for about 15 years, I added Shaklee’s Immunity Formula 1, Nutriferon, B complex, Vitamin C, and Garlic. In addition, I incorporated a liver detox using Shaklee’s Liver DTX.

The following summer, I was bitten again while visiting my daughter in another state. My Lyme doctor kept me on antibiotics. During that time, she noted that I was doing much better than I should have been based on my history. She stated, “I don’t know what you are doing but keep doing it.”
During the next year, my antibiotic therapy was being lessened on a monthly basis as I continued taking my Shaklee supplements. The following spring, I was bitten four times after gardening by deer ticks. I started the antibiotic treatment in full doses again.

By the following fall, I was feeling much better with only a slight sensation of burning in my legs. All other symptoms had vanished. During the beginning of this year, my energy returned and I decided to stop some of the supplements. This included a daily dose of Shaklee’s Immunity Formula 1 and Nutriferon. Within a couple weeks, my symptoms were returning. I reintroduced Shaklee’s Immunity Formula 1 and Nutriferon. A couple weeks later, I was symptom-free except for an occasional burning sensation in my legs!

 In July, 2015, my Lyme doctor removed me from all antibiotics—the first time in four years!
 I credit God first and secondly Shaklee for returning my health and my life.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS

So I wanted to thank you for introducing me to Shaklee products. As you know, I've been enjoying the Shaklee 180 kits, https://optimal--wellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop/healthyweight/shaklee180kits/product-_p_vitalizing-planp which included shakes and Vitalizer for women vita-strips for the last 3 years. Recently, I switched to the energizing soy protein shakes https://optimal--wellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop/healthyfoundations/protein/product-_p_energizing-soy-proteinp but still take the Vitalizer vita-strips.  https://optimal--wellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/shop/healthyfoundations/essentialsvitaminsandminerals/product-_p_vitalizer_p_

I originally contacted you because since turning 45, it was harder and harder to lose those last 10 pounds. I worked out regularly, took a daily multi-vitamin, watched what I ate, but couldn't drop the weight and had no energy by mid-afternoon. I had tried Weight Watchers, but just didn't have the time to track everything I ate. I was referred to you by a friend and thought maybe I'll give it a try.

I'm a busy mom of 2 boys and work from home watching other children, so I needed something simple. I have a Shaklee shake for breakfast and lunch, which saves time and eliminates making bad food choices. I'll be turning 48 in July and proudly say, I'm not taking any medications and wearing a size 6!!

My weight is about the same as when I started the program, BUT I have more muscle, my clothes fit so much better and I have lots of energy.

I have a family history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis and diabetes. My parents and siblings are on medications to control these, but not me! I often ask myself, am I just lucky in the genetics department or is it because I started Shaklee? Perhaps it's a combination of both.
I will continue with my protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and make healthy snack and dinner choices. Don't get me wrong, I love desserts and an occasional glass of wine, but have learned to enjoy those in moderation.

Thanks again for introducing me to benefits of Shaklee and always being there to answer my questions.

Cheers,
Carolyn

HOW SHAKLEE HAS HELPED IN MY LIFE

05/05/2016

Dear Becky:

I was always struggling to lose weight ever since my college days. I also had a challenge with energy levels. At around 3-4 pm everyday I would get very sleepy. Since I started taking the Shaklee vitamins and 180 shakes/bars, my energy level has increased and I no longer have that afternoon dip in energy.

      I have lost 15 pounds and have kept it off for over 2 years. I enjoy the Life shakes (all the flavors) and the meal bars are fantastic (and very filling!). Hats off to the Shaklee products and to Becky O'Brien for her faithfulness in sharing the secret of a healthy life.

Jesus and Shaklee make a great combination!

Sincerely,
Danielle Speranza

What is the Key?

So it all started here.  Way back in1997.  And it made NO SENSE to me at all!  I just knew something was "right" about it, once I did it?  What in the world am I talking about !?  Well, the story goes like this.

My business team leader kept talking about making something called a "Vision Board".  I had never heard of such a thing and it sounded strange to me.  "You say you want me to sit down and cut pictures and words out of magazines that depict my life's VISION (?!) and then glue them on a piece of poster board?  Why?"  Like I said, it made no sense to me. 

Back then, if someone would have asked me what my vision is, I would have said, "With or without my contact lenses?"  Hah!  That was how limited my vision was.  For my life.

So, veerryy reluctantly, I agreed to go to a meeting where we were all going to make these Vision Boards.  I figured I'd go and "get it over with".  And then get back to doing what I was "supposed to be doing". 

So I gathered all my "stuff", sat down and started flipping non-enthusiastically through the magazine pages.  How in the world was I supposed to know which words and  pictures to choose?  Finally, I just figured I would pick out some things I sort of liked and put them on there.  And then . . . as soon as I began to simply start looking, something happened.  Simply by getting started, even though I didn't understand it all, I had unwittingly "positioned" myself for something I didn't even expect.

I'm a praying person, and suddenly I found myself spontaneously saying a prayer, asking God to help me pick out what HE liked.  And that changed EVERYTHING!  To my surprised delight, He liked a LOT of the words and pictures in the magazines and showed me which ones to cut out.  My scissors were flying!  Before I knew it, I had a nice stack of some pretty inspiring things!  So, I started positioning and gluing them on my piece of poster board.  Something inside me felt different.  As I read the words and gazed at the pictures, a desire within me began to grow; a desire to SEE these images and words come to pass in my life.  Suddenly it dawned on me what vision is!  A Vision is a picture of the future you want to create.  We have a God-given ability to conceive something in our mind or heart, which then awakens the creativity and innovation He placed in each of us.  Like Him we envision, and then we create the vision.

So then I was sold on this truth about vision.  Vision Boards simply ENHANCE this process.  They are not an end in themselves, but a means.

Which brings me now to the Key picture here.  This is Key Picture #1 in a series of pictures I will post about Keys. 

Very clearly, I knew I needed to glue this picture right in the center of my Vision Board.  Even though, back then, I didn't understand it's meaning, something deep within me knew it was at the core of my vision.  

So what is it?  It's a man picking up an ancient key that is discovered because there is light shining down from a lighthouse revealing it's location.  The man's purpose was simply to . . . pick it up.  

And so I did.  I picked it up.  The next nineteen years of my life then became an evolution of understanding what I had picked up and why.

Still with me?  Thank you!  My goal is to inspire you.  
Inspire you to what?  To pick up YOUR key.
So what is your first step?  Desire.  Desire to create YOUR vision.  You will then have YOUR key that unlocks.  And there's so much more!

So Key #1:  Desire to pick up the key that unlocks your vision.

More "keys" to come.  Stay tuned!

HELP FOR CROHN'S DISEASE

My Crohn’s disease testimony:

 

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1996. Crohn’s disease can affect any part of your digestive tract from you esophagus on down. It causes inflammation and narrowing of affected area and causes extreme pain when trying to eat or have a bowel movement. Fun, huh?  

Well that is the simple definition. It is an auto-immune disease which means your body is attacking itself as the “enemy”. I am certain that I have has this since I was 16 because I have been having these symptoms since then but was never diagnosed.  

Since my diagnosis I was put on steroids (yuck) 1 year and 8 months. After being on them that long I was still having trouble but my doctor (I no longer have him, YEA) would only tell me to “up” the dosage. So for 2 weeks I took the prescribed amount. I have always had low blood pressure and have hypoglycemia (the opposite of diabetes). Well, the higher dose was causing me to have high blood pressure and go into diabetes. Needless to say I didn’t want either to continue, so with my husbands and the Lord’s permission I started going off the steroids slowly. 

I felt so much better! I was in pain from the Crohn’s but it wasn’t any different on or off the steroids. This was in October 1998. By January, I started getting an infection that they assumed was my Appendix. After an emergency room visit and several tests (which required me to drink something, most of which ended up on the emergency room floor) they discovered that it was not my appendix but that I had an infection so they put me on antibiotics.  

Long story, short after 6 emergency room visits and 3 hospital stays (one, in which I was given 2 of the strongest antibiotics and one where they gave me a new drug for Crohn’s, Remicaid) they finally decided to do surgery and I got me a new Gastroenterologist (Tummy Doctor. Yea!!) 

After the surgery I felt 100% better!!! What they discovered was the Crohn’s disease had fistulized (broke out) and attached itself to my bladder, thus all the infections they could not control. So they took out 1 inch of my intestine, removed my Appendix, and removed the Crohn’s disease from my bladder.  Whew!!! 

So from May 1999 to September 1999 I felt really great and went on with life, home schooling my two kids ages, 11 and 8.  Well, in September, I starting feeling the Cronh’s pain again and I don’t mind telling you I was scared! I had had enough of doctors, needles and medicines and that usually didn’t work. So I said nothing to anyone about the pain and just endured. 

In October 1999 my sister called me and asked me how I was doing and told me about this lady she knew who was a Godly, christian woman who had helped some people with Crohn’s disease and could she have her call me. I trusted my sister but I reluctantly said yes. The lady called me and let me decide when and where I wanted to try Shaklee vitamins. What she didn’t know is that when I was diagnosed with Crohn’s I went to the local GNC store and found what they recommended to help me. I tried their products but they either hurt or went through whole (I know it’s gross)!   

So when Becky suggested that I take lots of vitamins and especially B vitamins I was leery and didn’t believe her at first. I waited a month looking up the company called Shaklee and investigating their products and praying.  

In November when Becky called back the pain was worse and I needed help and I started on the Basics Vita Lea, B, C, E and the Soy protein.  

All I can say now is WOW! What a difference! One of the things Crohn’s does is it causes you to not be able to digest anything. Well, I could digest the Shaklee vitamins and they really do break down to the cellular level and boy, did that feel good!!!  

In years past, because my immune system was so low, I got everything! Flu, colds etc.. Well, in the year 2000 I didn’t get anything! Even when my kids got sick, I didn’t! What an amazing difference! 

Since then I have tried different combinations of things with the Shaklee vitamins and this is what I now daily use: 

2 Vita Lea with iron             6 - 10 Alfalfa                 1 Optiflora pill                  1 Fiber tablet         

6 B                                        6 Lecithin                      1 Mindworks                     1 CoQ heart

1 C                                        3 Omega guard              2 Vivix                                                                       

1 E                                        3 GLA                            2 Menopause

7 Osteomatrix                      2 Carotomax                   3 Stress Relief Complex 

I also drink the new Shaklee Life Protein smoothee.  

I am so glad my sister called me and told me about Shaklee! She is in heaven with Jesus, but I am still so very grateful to her! I am also very grateful to Becky who has stuck with me all these years and helps so many people! I want to be like her when I grow up! LOL!!

SINCE 1994! Jenne hasn't aged! Feels great!

You are welcome to share the fact that we all love Shaklee products and have used them since at least 1994.

 

We are proud that Shaklee is such a forerunner to current health issues and offers quality products that one can trust.

 

Our family has surely benefitted from them, and we will be lifetime users!  I have NO doubt that my health would have suffered greatly over the years, even if it was just "little chronic annoying things" and considering all the travel and interactions with various people I have had in all those places, I know for a fact that I was much less sick than all my counterparts, wherever I was.

 

People tell me all the time that I haven't seen in years: "You haven't changed ONE bit!  How do you do it!?" (of course hair dye is lovely, but aside from that, good living, good attitude, and SHAKLEE are 3 very important reasons).

 

I've lost weight with Shaklee and have kept it off, I've had NO troubles with pesky childhood eczema, feel on top of the world, and have a spring in my step.

 

Our son Carl has been a Shaklee guy since before he was even born and I know that has helped him stay healthy - he hardly ever gets sick and he has a REALLY full schedule with school, social, and sports! 

 

My husband Donald has enjoyed various health benefits; even now that Joint Health Complex was for him as he's heard people talk about one of the ingredients (glucosamine or some such thing) and with all the 5K's and running that we do, it's good for both of us! 

Anyway, with all that meandering, we LOVE Shaklee :^)  and thank you for being involved and for being you!

 

Hi to all & hugs - Jenne & Team Warf

 

SINUS TROUBLE. LOW BLOOD SUGAR.

Shaklee has helped me in several ways. It has been several years since I have had sinus trouble and I believe the Shaklee Alfalfa helped me eliminate my sinus infections.

Also, I have always been prone to low blood  sugar and the Shaklee 180 energy tea and B-Complex tabs seem to do the trick.  I take them mid afternoon and I can then breeze through the rest of the day and into the evening!

HELP FOR LYME DISEASE

Dear Friend (why I am a Shaklee distributor): 

Four years ago, I was bitten by a deer tick. It did not leave the customary red circle and, because it was nothing more than irritated, I did not seek medical attention. By the following winter, I developed symptoms which were increasingly difficult to explain including “brain fog”, night sweats, “burning” sensations on my legs, dizziness, and more.

The following year, after hiking in the neighboring Virginia fields, I was bitten twice by deer ticks. This time, the area was red and swollen but still no characteristic bull’s eye.  By the tenth day, I became violently ill. My previous symptoms worsened, I developed a fever of 103 degrees, had difficulty walking, experienced extreme fatigue, as well as several other symptoms. My doctor recognized the symptoms and immediately placed me on doxycycline. The initial test returned negative results for Lyme. Due to regulations, my doctor could keep me on antibiotics for no longer than 6 weeks.

In addition, I incorporated a liver detox using Shaklee’s Liver DTX. 

The following summer, I was bitten again while visiting my daughter, Adrienne. My Lyme doctor kept me on antibiotics. During that time, she noted that I was doing much better than I should have been based on my history. She stated, “I don’t know what you are doing but keep doing it.” During the next year, my antibiotic therapy was being lessened on a monthly basis. I continued to take my Shaklee supplements as well as a sugar substitute, Xylitol (not a Shaklee product), as studies have shown that Xylitol kills Lyme. The next year, I was bitten four times while gardening by deer ticks. I started the antibiotic treatment in full doses again. By the following fall, I was feeling much better with only a slight sensation of burning in my legs. All other symptoms had vanished. During the beginning of this year, my energy returned and I decided to stop some of the supplements. This included a daily dose of Xylitol, the Immunity Formula and Nutriferon. In a couple weeks, my symptoms were returning. After reintroducing Xylitol, I noted a slight change. Within a couple weeks, I reintroduced the Immunity Formula and Nutriferon. Soon afterwards, I was symptom-free except for an occasional burning sensation in my legs!

This summer, my Lyme doctor removed me from all antibiotics—the first time in four years! I credit Shaklee and God for returning my health and my life.

Blessings,

Mary has a Loving Purpose with Shaklee as her missions support vehicle.

 

   

Mary Emily Cook: I had been a caregiver for my children, parents, and granddaughter for many years. In the last number of years I’ve had an interest in Christian missions, even going on a couple of mission trips. Although I don’t care for family members anymore and may not go on another mission trip, I am still involved in my family’s lives and I care for others through contributing to mission organizations.  Not surprising, my company name is Loving Purpose. My business uses the Shaklee Corporation as the vehicle to continue to support mission work.  The Republican Party believes as I do in the rule of law, the constitution, and recognizes that the small business entrepreneur is the backbone of the economy

Fatigue, ADD, Asthma, Viruses - GONE!!!

Mindy's Story

I had a vision of making a difference.

 I have always cared about helping people. In my teen years and early twenties I was involved with many service projects and missionary trips to help people both in the States and in Third World Countries. After getting my B.A. in Sociology, I went on to nursing school and also to work in 2 different hospitals. What a great service I could offer people, to understand their bodies and how to take better care of themselves. I quickly became disillusioned with the medical field, in which I felt that I was only giving people “band aids” for their health problems (due to hospital politics, health insurance restrictions, and not having enough time to spend with each patient).

About this time I got married (to Long), started having children, and decided to take a break from the career world. We had our first 2 sons (Luca and Jude) and then moved from Maryland to California, as that is where the Navy needed us for the next 5 years. Those years were full of single parenting (due to deployments) diapers, potty training, preschool, and early grade school. We had our third son, Quinn, in 2009, right before the Navy sent us to South Carolina.

And then everything changed.

Luca was 8, Jude, was 5, and Quinn was 1. Suddenly I was extremely fatigued. It felt as if I were wearing a very heavy jacket that I could not take off. No amount of sleep seemed to help. Also, I was continually getting sick. Each month I was catching a new virus. The doctors said and my bloodwork showed that I was fine. I was not. The next several years led me to do a lot of reading and researching on nutrition and wellness. I tried many different dietary and lifestyle changes, and vitamins, which did not make much of a difference. At the same time, Jude was diagnosed with ADD and was struggling at school. Luca was missing a lot of school due to asthma.

I was looking for a change.

My parents knew of our health struggles and introduced me to their friend Becky, who is a health/wellness coach with Shaklee. After watching my parents lose 30-40 pounds each, get off cholesterol medication, and race their grandson down the road by foot, I decided that maybe Becky could help me too. What did I have to lose? I had tried everything else. Within 1 month I noticed a huge improvement in my energy. Within 4 months my immune system was much stronger. I was actually the only person in my family who did NOT get sick during the holidays.  And my story gets even better...within 3 months of taking Shaklee products, Jude’s teacher called me to let me know that she was not seeing any signs of ADD in the classroom! The improvements have continued even up until now. Luca no longer needs his steroid inhaler every day to prevent asthmatic coughing! Fast forwarding 2 years to today: I feel better today than when I even began Shaklee. Jude continues to excel in school without meds. He’s even in advanced math. Luca continues to do well without a steroid inhaler, even playing in a basketball league.

Then something really amazing happened...  I began sharing my health story with everyone and earning a part-time income with Shaklee while being able to stay home to raise my boys and support Long during his military career.(Eventually, this company and income will be our full-time income. I will be able to will my Shaklee income 100% intact to our sons!) I just couldn’t help but share about the company and products that had helped me move from just barely surviving to thriving! “Feel better in order to do better” has become my new motto for life. It’s hard to be your best for your family, church, community, neighbors, and for yourself when you feel lousy. I am now such a better engaged person to all those around me. Be the change you want to see in the world!

You know what the BEST part is? My greatest happiness and reward comes from helping other people improve their health and their lives through Shaklee!

What is Shaklee? Shaklee is the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S. It was started by Dr. Forrest Shaklee in 1956 when he was 61 years old. The story of Dr. Shaklee’s life is remarkable. With three degrees, he was a doctor, businessman, minister, philosopher, entrepreneur, pioneer, author, and inventor - A man born before his time. His own personal health story is one of surviving tuberculosis and being healed of cancer. For 60 years the “Shaklee Difference” has carried through in scientific research of our products, which has always been the hallmark of quality and integrity. Simply stated, the products work. Safely.

What do I do? I look for people who want to improve their health and move from just “surviving” to “thriving”. People who are ready to be well. And since there is not enough of me to go around to “change the world”, I also train a team of people to do what I do, both locally and in other states, who would like to help others live healthier lives and create a stream of income while doing so.

How do I do that? I scheduled individual consult appointments (by phone or in person) and I also do group health talks and presentations.

I match the products to the needs and Shaklee does the rest. Shaklee has nutritional supplements, green cleaners, personal care products, skin care systems, and water purifiers.

With the help of Shaklee, I’ve been able to help people change and improve their health and nutrition, lose weight, get off of and avoid taking medications, and above all, I have been able to give people HOPE and HEALTH.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH,

Mindy Hoang
