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. 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,
Debbie Bankert

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

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. 

Sincerely,
 

Sally Weaver

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 degrees, he was a doctor, minister, philosopher, businessman, entrepreneur, pioneer, author and inventor – A man born before his time.  Read about his personal story of being healed of cancer. For 60 years, The Shaklee Difference has carried through in scientific research of our products, which has always been a hallmark of quality and integrity.  Simply stated, the products work.  Safely. 

What do I do?  I’m looking for stories to create.  Simply stated, I look for 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. 

How do I do that?  I schedule individual consult appointments and I also do group health talks and business presentations.   

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

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
