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. Following the 6 week antibiotic therapy, I still
carried a fever of 100 degrees (which lasted 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 successfully experienced
the use of Shaklee’s multivitamins for about 15 years, I added Shaklee’s
Immunity Formula, 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, 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,

SALLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDS SHAKLEE!
Dear Becky,
I have been taking Shaklee supplements for several years
now, and am quite sure I am pretty healthy because of it. In fact I wouldn't
dare be without my daily Vita Lea (I take one at night and one in the AM).
Becky O'Brien has helped me so much by answering all my
questions about health and vitamins, for several years now.
I also benefit from using Basic H for cleaning; you need
only add a small amount to sixteen or so ounces of water.
I highly recommend Shaklee products and Becky O'Brien as a
consultant.

MY STORY
I have always
wanted to help people. I grew up in Fairfax, VA, the oldest of three
daughters. I’d often imagine myself teaching. I’d line up my dolls
and stuffed animals and teach them anything I could think of to teach them.
I had a
Vision of making a difference.
After
graduating from high school, I attended GMU and then JMU, starting out majoring
in psychology and then switching to speech pathology, wanting to see clear,
measurable differences in children’s improvement.
I got married
within a year and a half after graduating, worked as a speech pathologist in
Prince George County, VA. Mike was a probation officer. After two
years, we quit those jobs, dropped everything, and moved to Fresno, CA, where
we worked with a ministry, teaching Bible classes. I also taught speech
pathology there for two years and Mike got his Master’s degree and had a window
cleaning business. Moved back across country to work with the ministry
for two years, had our first son, Paul. Moved back to VA. Began
teaching speech pathology again for Fairfax Co. Did that for 10
years. Our second son David was born during that time.
And then
everything changed.
Paul was 15. David was 10. I was stressed. I got sick.
Very sick. Chest pains, heart palpitations, low blood sugar, migraine
headaches, extreme fatigue, depression, PMS, joint pain, muscle pain,
dizziness. Other than that, “I was just fine.” My sister kept
bugging me about taking these vitamins. I blew her off, because I had
tried lots of vitamins that didn’t make a difference. Finally, I listened
and began taking Shaklee. Within one month, I noticed a huge
difference. Within three months, all of those health issues were
gone, completely gone. And, fast forwarding, I breezed right through
menopause. (And now, at the age of 63, I can honestly say I feel 100
times better than I had felt at the age of 43, when everything was falling
apart.)
I began sharing
my story with everyone and earned a part-time income with Shaklee while still
teaching school
Within a year,
I left Fairfax County and continued to build my business (still teaching – a
new subject – wellness – OPTIMAL WELLNESS).
So, here we are
20 years later. Optimal Wellness has become our main six-figure income
career. We will be able to will my Shaklee income 100% intact to our
sons. My husband Mike was able to retire from his stressful job.
We’ve enjoyed two bonus cars from Shaklee, eight trips to places like Hawaii, a
cruise, Mexican resorts – all expenses paid. We own a lake home at Lake
Monticello near Charlottesville, as well as a condo at the National Harbor in
Maryland.
But, by far, my
greatest happiness and reward comes from collecting stories. I’m a
story collector. Stories about peoples’ lives who have changed
because of Shaklee.
What is
Shaklee? Shaklee is the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the Nation.
It was started by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee in 1956 when he was 61 years
old. The story of Dr. Shaklee’s life is remarkable. With three

personal story of being healed of cancer. For 60 years, The Shaklee Difference

What do I

people who want to change their health story. 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 to do what I do,
both locally and in other states who want a stream of income.

I’ve collected
literally thousands of stories in the past 20 years. Stories that give
people hope.
I’d love to
know your story. I’m here for you.
How can I be
of help to you or anyone you know?
TO YOUR GOOD
HEALTH ~

Blood pressure lowered significantly!
Hi Becky
I hope you're enjoying your summer...we've had a very hot
June and hopefully that's about to break at the end of the week.
My husband and I did the Shaklee 5-day cleanse & detox plan.
We each lost about 3 pounds and it was a starting
point for us to change our eating habits and eat a more healthy diet. The big thing
it did for me was lower my blood pressue significantly!
I just ordered more of the 180 Smoothie Vanilla as we
love that and we will continue to use those occasionally for our meals.
Thanks for your help.
Barbara
