Kellie's Story

Anyone who meets Kellie instantly likes her.  She is a treasure! 
It is a sincere blessing to me that Shaklee has helped to change her life.
Enjoy her story.

My Shaklee Story

When I was first introduced to Shaklee, I was only interested in trying a sampling of the product lines.  I was getting ready to be married, moving back to my home town of Arlington Virginia, and also hoping to start a family of my own, so I wanted to be as healthy as possible. 

 Here is what happened.  I lost 12 pounds in a short time, and never again suffered from coughing, headaches, or having to deal with holding my breath while cleaning my home. I also have more energy, and I’m able to handle the multitasking of being a wife to an amazing husband, (Jon) a new mom to one special little boy (Stephen), and the caretaker of my home and sweet dog Charlie.  With all of these wonderful new changes in my life, I enjoyed the results of Shaklee so much that I decided it would be best to share it with others and start my own Shaklee business.   It’s like referring someone to a good restaurant or store, but you can have a business of your own by sharing and you get the opportunity to help others along their journey to better health.  The Shaklee name is well respected and the products, so effective, that the average customer is 14-17 years!  But the best part of my Shaklee journey is meeting wonderful people who are in a position for a positive change.  They see a problem and they want a solution but they don’t want to deal with side effects and they put their trust in Shaklee.  

 These days, we are overwhelmed with products that are labeled green and natural and it gets very confusing when it comes down to the stress of reading labels and not knowing what you are really buying.  So many people are now standing behind the integrity of the Shaklee name and the quality and safety of their products.   I’ll just name a few who you may recognize:  Dr. Oz, Oprah, Gweneth Paltrow, Rachel Ray, Jacqui McCoy from Extreme Makeover, Harley Pasternak, a celebrity trainer, and our US Astronaut, Mark Kelly.  Yes, Shaklee products were used in outer space!  In addition, a long list of Gold Medal Olympians depend on Shaklee to better their performance as well!  The more I researched this company for my own peace of mind, the more I believed it was the best for my own family’s well-being and a great company name to recommend.

And now I see Shaklee as a gift I can give to others because I know it is all for good.

IBS Relief after 18 years of pain!


Hi! My name is Ruth Randle. I am 63 years old, and until a year or so ago had suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (diarrhea-based) since the age of 18 (undiagnosed). It always began with severe abdominal pain and bloating, which continued for several hours, ultimately ending with massive diarrhea -- after which I immediately felt better. It had gotten worse in recent years, to the point where the pain was so bad, the only thing I could do was try to sleep through it. I would sometimes have 2 or 3 attacks a week. A year or so ago, I had a colonoscopy and esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD) and was finally diagnosed with IBS -- the mystery of all those years of agony was solved at last!  

A friend from church suggested that I try Shaklee's Optiflora, the two-product "pre- and pro-biotic" combination. Within a couple of weeks, my attacks started getting less and less frequent, until they stopped entirely! I finished the 30 day supply, and bought another package "just to have" in case of a recurrence.

When I went back to the gastroenterologist for follow-up, I took the botttles with me and told him what had happened. He said that there was indeed research being done on the "intestinal flora" type of treatment like Shaklee's Optiflora, with some positive results, and he took down all the information from the labels to share with his colleagues.  

I have had perhaps 2 attacks in the past year or more, and they were of much shorter duration, and much less intense. (One episode was after I had been on antibiotics for a bad upper respiratory infection, probably killing off my normal intestinal bacteria.) I took the Optiflora for a week after each incident -- and I still have a 2 week supply in reserve, "just in case".  I'm sold on Shaklee!

Acute Lyme's Disease



Personal Shaklee Testimony by Debbie Bankert 
For over a decade, Becky O’Brien of Optimal Wellness has been among my dearest and closest friends.  I have watched her minister to many people showing love, concern and knowledge that excels.  Not only is she a great diagnostician but a health specialist who is equally gifted in the knowledge of natural supplements. Becky researches symptoms and related illnesses aligning them with Shaklee supplements which aide the body’s natural healing process.
In June of 2012, I was diagnosed with Lyme’s Disease and Becky immediately went to work.  She researched what had been successful in documented cases; spoke with people who were infected with Lyme’s to determine their path of healing and recommended physicians who specialized in the treatment of Lyme’s.  Becky developed a personalized supplement schedule that would keep my body in the position to fight.  She introduced me to a Biblical Health Counselor who immediately recommended organic and natural foods to be included in my diet. 
I made an appointment with a doctor Becky recommended and was diagnosed with an acute case.  With a regimen of antibiotics and natural supplements, I made wonderful strides towards healing.  Most Lyme’s victims with acute cases can expect a 2 year recovery period or longer. Late in 2012, I showed signs of marked improvement. My doctor stated that whatever I was doing to continue it as she was amazed at my progress.
It is now March, 2013 and my doctor is in the process of weaning me off four antibiotics. With my continued path of healing, it has been over a month since I have felt any symptoms from Lyme’s. I am so very grateful to Becky. If she had not intervened, no doubt I would have been hospitalized as the majority of general practitioners are not extensively trained in Lyme’s and/or co-infections. My story would have been vastly different and I thank Becky for saving not only the quality of my life but possibly my life as well.
With the highest of recommendation, I support Becky and her business. Her ministry is of the highest regards and professionalism. Most of all, Becky has a great love for people and a desire to help with various health problems. Through her Shaklee business, Becky is living her God-given destiny.

PAIN RELIEF: Spinal Stenosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis in Hands-Neck-Shoulder-Back & Knees

1st a brief explanation of my condition: I have Spinal Stenosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis in my Hands-Neck-Shoulder-Back and Knees. 

I have had this condition for several years with no relief in sight. And as my condition worsened, I could no longer do everything I used to do, gardening for one and handyman services. 

So Carmella ran into me at the Senior Center and saw me with my Hand Braces and asked how I was feeling so I proceeded to tell her all of the above.
I started Vivix and Vitalizer for Men three weeks ago just before Christmas 2011.
 
Well after three weeks on Vitalizer and Vivix, all of my ailments are almost completely gone.  I noticed this about a week ago wondering why I had no Pain in my neck and the RA in my Hands is almost completely gone I can drive my Car with no pain in my Hand and do all the things not possible before.  

My Shoulders, Back,Neck, hands and knees are most completely Pain free. Vunderbar. 

I was able to make my Bed with NO Pain, I was able to Vacuum my Apartment with NO pain, I was able to shampoo my Rug (three rooms) NO Pain. I am feeling more alert with more energy to do things than I have in a long time.  

The next test is Walking, I used to walk ten miles every day for twenty years  now I am only able to walk two or three. I hope to get up to at leasy five miles daily.  I have always been very active and this will continue. 

God bless,
Johnny

Multiple Sclerosis story: "I don't know where I'd be without them!"

I have always been a very active, healthy person, but after 10 years of raising my 3 boys on my own and working a busy job in sales, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 50.  The diagnosis was devastating - all my future plans seemed to vanish overnight, my future was unknown.  There was no more planning, no more dreaming - all I could do was live day to day, and was completely consumed with fighting the disease and healing my body.  I had to inject myself daily with an MS drug therapy that felt like a shot of poison.  I walked every day.  I took up yoga.  I did reiki.  I ate only low-fat meats, fruits and vegetables.  I cut out all sugar, white flour and unhealthy fats.  And I consulted with Becky O'Brien, my Shaklee advisor.  She put me on the Vitalizer pack, The Energizing Soy Protein Drink Mix, large doses of Vitamins D3, B-Complex, and OmegaGuard fish oil.  I allowed myself to rest a lot and cut my hours back at work.  It is now almost 5 years later.  I am happy to say that I am virtually symptom free!  I stopped taking the MS daily injection over a year ago and I rely only on my Shaklee supplements, rest, exercise and good, healthy, clean foods.  I truly believe that my Shaklee supplements played a huge role in my recovery.  They provided the necessary nutrition that my body needed in order to heal.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'D BE WITHOUT THEM!  Kathy

You name it! Low Energy, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Pre-Diabetes, Brittle Nails & Hair!!

It is my pleasure to disclose how Shaklee products have affected my health and home life.  I have been using Shaklee products for several years.  I have felt so much more energy throughout the day and, feeling better for me means I take better care of myself.  I have been able to stop taking blood pressure medication I took for more than ten years.  I feel Shaklee products have benefited me so much that I actually don't have to take ANY prescription medication at all!  Early on, my lab work a year ago showed improvement and I'm looking forward to even better results later this summer!  Shaklee has this domino effect on me!  My skin and nails have improved, and my hair is less dry and brittle.  I have used the safe Enfuselle face products and I believe that they have helped maintain my healthy skin, and keep the natural aging at bay.  I also enjoy using the cleaning products.  They really work, and I like that they are good for our environment too.  It is my hope that others will also enjoy the great Shaklee benefits that I have experienced!

Thanks for letting me share, and warmest regards to all!
