<h1 align="center" style="margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">Holistic Skin Care</h1><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">By Lisa W of Ancient Paths, Naturally!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Years ago I started to struggle with an irritating skin issue, psoriasis. It was quite uncomfortable and frustrating. In my quest to discover what might be the cure for this skin condition I learned quite a lot about how the whole body works together and that skin symptoms reveal more about our health than a simple skin issue. Let me share with you a little about what I learned about skin care from a holistic perspective, including topical treatments, nutritional and herbal therapies, how our organ systems work together, and the spiritual roots of the issues I was dealing with. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Our Skin</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Our skin is the first thing people notice when they look at us. It is our miracle garment. It’s soft, pliable, strong, waterproof, and self-repairing. It communicates our age, our health status, and our emotional status. </div><div class="MsoNormal">The skin is our largest single organ, making up about 16% of the body weight of an average sized person. Healthy skin regulates our body temperature and holds in moisture. This is no small feat, considering that, by weight, we are about 60% water. It’s also the outer wrapper of our immune system, protecting us from a host of invaders. Our skin helps us excrete waste products, but it’s also an avenue for absorbing a wide range of dangerous chemicals. Our skin also turns the sun’s rays into vitamin D, an essential nutrient for good health. Our skin is amazing!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Topical Skin Treatments</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">When we have irritated skin it’s common for us to reach for something to put on it to soothe the irritation. It’s important that we know what we’re putting on our skin because there are some nasty things in traditional skin care products. </div><div class="MsoNormal">According to The Environmental Working Group, personal care products expose children (and adults) to an average of 60 chemicals every day, which they inhale or absorb through the skin. Recent studies have demonstrated that product packaging rarely reveals the concentration, or adverse effects, of the pervasive chemicals found in every day products. It’s just as important to know what’s NOT in your favorite product as it is to know what IS in it. Our family uses <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty">Shaklee skin care products</a> because they provide us with an <a href="http://tinyurl.com/thuo74">ingredient glossary</a> that describes every ingredient found in all of their products. It also explains the difference between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">natural, naturally derived</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">scientifically formulated</i> ingredients. </div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s good to know what they DON’T put in any of their products as well as what they do. Things like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">parabens</b> (endocrine disruptor, breast cancer), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">FD&C and D&C dyes</b> (carcinogen, protein inhibitor, cause of hyperactivity in children, immune distruptor), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">butyl cellosolve</b> (causes reproductive issues, birth defects, carcinogen), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">formaldehyde</b> (carcinogen, skin rash, asthma), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">phenols</b> (dermatitis, cytotoxicity, kidney damage) and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">propylene glycol</b> (endocrine distruptor, allergies and asthma) are never used in any Shaklee products. They also avoid using more than 15 other dangerous chemicals in their products. Unfortunately, all of these dangerous chemicals are routinely found in supermarket shampoos, moisturizers, shaving and cleansing gels, tanning solutions, pharmaceuticals and even your toothpaste. A quick internet search will reveal that you don’t want to be exposed to these chemicals, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ever</i>. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Homemade Herbal Salves</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Along with Shaklee’s personal care product line, our family has begun to make our own herbal salves to aid in healing of cuts. Living on a small farm and having a busy lifestyle, sometimes someone gets a cut or a nasty gash. Rather than traditional ointments, we have taken to harvesting herbs in our garden, drying them and creating our own salves to help fight infection and encourage healing. Herbal salves contain only oils, herbs and beeswax and will not clog pores. An oil infusion of herbs such as lavender, comfrey, plantain, self-heal, and chamomile added to a beeswax base has had tremendous healing properties and we have seen amazing results. For example, my son cut off the tip of his finger just days before leaving for an intense weeklong outdoor summer event. He made himself an herbal salve and added honey to the mix. He applied it to his fingertip and covered it with a bandaid twice a day. Not only did it not get infected but by the time he came home the skin had grown back <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with fingerprints</i> – no scarring! We were very impressed. Needless to say, when my husband severely injured his foot a few years ago, we used our son’s salve to help heal the wound. Because the salves are homemade with primarily homegrown herbs, we are confident that we’re not putting toxic chemicals onto our skin. Whenever we need herbal oils that we cannot grow I use oils from <a href="http://ancientpathsnaturally.blogspot.com/p/contact-me.html">Young Living Essential Oils</a>. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nutrition For The Skin</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Nutrition">Shaklee’s nutritional programs</a> have been developed with over 55 years of nutritional research and independent clinical studies. Because of their science-based approach, the food based supplements and Enfuselle Skin Care program contain the right nutrients, in the right forms and concentrations, to rejuvenate damaged skin, peeling away the years, so that you can maintain that healthy glow all without harsh chemicals found in traditional skin care regimens. The Enfuselle System combined with Shaklee’s food based nutritional products provides a solid nutritional base for your skin, as well as the rest of your body. A solid nutritional approach to skin issues such as acne, eczema and psoriasis have been shown to protect, heal and rejuvenate our skin. Speaking before the American Academy of Dermatology, New York-based dermatologist Karen E Burke, MD reviewed the antioxidants that have been proven to be the most effective in protecting skin and reversing photo-aging damage from UV exposure. She said, “There are three antioxidants that have been proven to decrease the effect of the sun on the skin and actually prevent further damage. They are: selenium, vitamin E and vitamin C.” She went on to say that “although many topical formulations contain antioxidants, very few are actually effective in preventing or reversing damage to the skin. That is because almost all these formulations only contain minute concentrations of the necessary antioxidants, and they are not well absorbed by the skin.”</div><div class="MsoNormal">Antioxidants keep free radicals form damaging cell walls and other cell structures like DNA, which helps protect us from cancer. Selenium preserves tissue elasticity and slows down the aging and hardening of tissues. Natural sourced vitamin E reduces sunburn, chronic UV-induced damage and production of cancer cells, associated with a 70% reduced risk for basal cell carcinoma. It also reduces wrinkles and improves skin texture. Topically, naturally sourced vitamin E soothes dry, rough skin and combined with vitamin C creates a highly protective lotion against sun damage. Vitamin C is well known for fighting free radical damage and is the most abundant antioxidant found naturally in the skin. It slows accelerated skin aging and can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure. Other important nutrients for our skin include zinc, B complex vitamins, and omega oils.</div><div style="border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 31.0pt 0in;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 31.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 31.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Body Systems & Emotions</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 31.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;">As I was learning and applying what I was learning to myself in trying to treat and heal the psoriasis that I was struggling with, also learned that the organ systems in our bodies affect one another. For example, in my research I learned that when the liver isn’t functioning properly that it often affects the skin. The liver is the second largest organ in our bodies, after the skin which is the largest. I was glad to be on a good nutritional program and hoped that my liver would find the nutritional support it needed to be happier. By now the itchy and frustrating skin problems were significantly less but when it would flare up, boy would I be miserable! So I went on a quest to find out what else might help my liver become happier. Because I didn’t drink or have a liver disease and was cutting out chemical exposure in my home, I decided to follow a new and intriguing thread in my search.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;">One of the things I learned was that emotions affect our organ systems in different ways and emotions such as anger and frustration have negative effects on the liver while kindness has a positive effect on the liver. Anger and frustration damage the liver. So here I was with a catch-22 because I was frustrated with the psoriasis and sometimes I did find myself getting angry about it. I also learned that the liver is often the source for headaches, which I had been having on and off for a while up till this point. Now I had two immediate reasons to support my liver – psoriasis and headaches. I had multiple reasons to really get myself in check and control my frustration better. Not only did it not do any good real good for me to be frustrated, it was causing me physical damage and causing the very thing I was frustrated about to be worse. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; padding: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; padding: 0in;"><b>Spiritual Roots of Disease</b><br />
The final key in unlocking the mystery of the, by that time, come-and-go psoriasis was learning about the spiritual roots of disease. I learned that spiritually psoriasis is rooted in self-hatred, a lack of self-esteem and conflict with identity. These go along well with the anger and frustration that damages the liver and I saw the connection right away. While you may not consider these issues spiritual as much as emotional it’s important to know that as a believer in and follower of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I know that my G-d has said that He loves me and accepts me, so for me to harbor hate in my heart, even for myself, is a sin. It says that I don’t believe that He is truthful when He says that He loves me and considers me a special treasure, it is my way of calling Him a liar. And if I cannot even love myself, how can I love anyone else, like my husband and my children? I needed to come to grips with the sin in my life and repent, turn around and stop sinning, and walk in the right way. At the time we were learning this material my elbows itched like mad. About a week after working through some of the weighty issues in the course we were taking I noticed that my elbows were fine – 100% fine! There wasn’t any trace of the psoriasis left on my arms at all, the skin looked and felt completely normal! Not only did this process open the door for healing of my skin, but I was healed of a debilitating allergy to tree nuts as well. Praise G-d for His healing touch!! </div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;">While I once dealt with adult acne, psoriasis and other issues I now deal with none of these things in my life. My family and I have been completely changed as we have taken charge of our health and learned about holistic health care, and applied what we’ve learned. We have been created perfectly and it leaves me in wonder and awe of our Creator. From food based nutritional supplementation, chemical free personal products, herbal treatments, balancing the body systems, keeping our emotions balanced and fighting against sin in our lives, we will all tell you that we are not only healthier, but we’re happier too! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;"><br />

Then Salt Lake City—<i>where she won two bronze medals</i>—and Torino for the 2002 and 2006 Games, respectively. And most recently, she competed in four events at the Vancouver Games, something she’d never thought she’d do after hanging up her skates in 2006. For this superstar athlete whose nicknames include “Miami Ice” and “J-Rod,” the focus wasn’t so much on winning, but skating her best. “It was about seeing how good I can do for myself, how far I can push myself, and getting the best out of myself,” she says. “And if that’s good enough to get a medal, then that’s icing on the cake.” The 33-year-old admits that getting back in the game after a two-year retirement was harder than she thought. Mentally, she was more determined than ever. Physically, her muscles had a lot of catching up to do. That meant hours of intense training—and <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html"><b>Shaklee products</b></a>. “I’m not a believer in products,” she admits. “<i>But with Shaklee, I notice a big difference and am impressed with how fast I recover</i>. I don’t feel sore after working out. One time, I ran out of <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20495"><b>Physique</b></a> and it was then that I felt the soreness. So yeah, it works.” And more important, Jennifer says she doesn’t worry about the quality of Shaklee products when it comes to the strict testing standards she—like many elite athletes—must face. “They pay attention to the purity of their products. It’s nice to know that a company cares.”<br />

A <i>four-time winner</i> of the Portland (Ore.) Marathon, he holds <i>21 world records</i> in elite wheelchair racing and <i>a bronze medal from the Games in Seoul</i>. Indeed, Craig knows what it takes to succeed and admits that although winning is great, it’s not everything. Rather, passion is what fuels him to do what he does. “It’s now or never,” he says. “You have to decide what you are made of.” A double amputee since birth and an inspiration to many, Craig has shown that there are no limits as to what one can achieve. He was inducted into the <i> Oregon Disabled Sports Hall of Fame</i> in 2009 and, like Kevin Hansen (his coach of 15 years), Craig dedicates his time to training other wheelchair racers—that is when he’s not skateboarding, rock climbing, or scuba diving. Craig credits part of his athletic achievements to proper nutrition and is a huge fan of <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20495"><b>Shaklee Physique</b></a>. He says, “Physique allows me to have better quality workouts, to get better performance out of the same amount of work, and to recover more quickly.”<br />

Her motto? Persistence pays off. At the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championship Ashley earned a fourth-place finish, beating 21 of the nation’s best. The following year, she finished the event with <i>a bronze medal</i> in the 2010. Ashley placed 5th at her first Grand Prix event of the season at the NHK Trophy in Japan and then she won the bronze medal at her second Grand Prix of the season at the Rostelecom Cup in Russia. “It’s all about focus and practice,” she says. “You have to fall 100 times before you get something perfect.” Hence, her rigorous training regimen; Wagner works out five hours a day, six days a week. On top of that, she has a job and is working toward her associate’s degree. With her busy schedule, she relies on <b><a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/">Shaklee products</a></b>, including <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=CinchBars"><b>Cinch Snack Bars</b></a> to help her stay energized and <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20656"><b>Stress Relief Complex</b></a> to help her stay relaxed. “I always bring a ton of Cinch bars with me to competitions,” she says. “They’re pretty tasty and great in terms of providing energy and nutrients.”<br />

I was looking for products that I could recommend to my clients <i>that worked and were safe</i>. Much to my surprise, not only did Shaklee score big time with their <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Nutrition&sub_cat=SportsNutrition">sports nutrition line</a>, they also provided me with a way to <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/whyshaklee.html">supplement my income</a>. This lucrative model has also given me the opportunity to share the business with others who were looking for either supplemental or full time income.<br />
<br />
While my kids are in school, I am able to run my business from home, get my products for free and earn a part time income. It is very rewarding to build a business that has unlimited financial potential and helps people get healthier. Being able to show my kids in today‘s world that you can earn a living and make a difference and have a great lifestyle is priceless.<br />
<br />
One of the most important fringe benefits of this business is that I have met some fantastic people who are now my closest friends.<br />

Within four years, he qualified for the 2004 U.S. Men’s Marathon Trials, and in 2008 he finished first at the U.S. Masters Championship 25K run. In addition to averaging 120 miles a week in training, Carl says he relies on Shaklee products to “provide the foundation” he needs to stay healthy and perform his best. "In running, as in life, you do not last long on what you have done; you have to keep on delivering."<br />
<br />
<br />
Carl grew up on Shaklee products—thanks to his mom—and today is a fan of <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20263"><b>Shaklee Vitalizer</b></a>, <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21200"><b>Vivix</b></a>, and <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20495"><b>Shaklee Physique</b></a>. “The first thing that goes into my system after a long run is Physique,” he says. “I find that it helps me recover a lot quicker and gives me that competitive edge.” Results aside, Carl says it’s also about quality. “I know (Shaklee) products are safe. I don’t have to think twice about what I’m putting in my body.” <br />

Her course record for the 100-mile Leadville race still stands after 12 years. From 1992 to 1996, she raced full time on the professional cross country mountain bike circuit, where she was ranked as high as 10<sup>th</sup> in the World Cup series and was in the top 10 NORBA (National Off-Road Bicycle Association) National ranking all 5 years of her full time career. In 1995 Shaklee began to sponsor Laurie as part of Team Shaklee, she was the only mountain biker on their cycling roster and she was part of Shaklee’s Top Performers program. In 1997 and 1998, Laurie continued to race in Colorado, her home state, as she transitioned to her career as a professional geologist. “I wasn’t done racing when I needed to move on with my professional career, so I continued to race on the regional level. Some of the best and most challenging races in the country are right here in Colorado.” She won the State Championship and the Leadville Trail 100 in those two years.<br />
<br />
In 2009, Laurie competed in the Growler endurance mountain race in Gunnison, the Leadville Silver Rush 50 mile race, and the Leadville Trail 100 mile race. She also rode in the Bicycle Tour of Colorado, a 500+ mile ride in 6 days and numerous century (100 mile) rides. “Training for and competing in races is the best way to stay in shape,” Laurie comments. “I love the challenges that racing offers and I like seeing what I can do. I also want my daughters to see me doing something physical that I enjoy and that takes a work ethic to achieve.” Getting enough sleep and eating the right foods and supplements are essential to achieving those goals. “I can’t imagine trying to do what I’m doing without the support of Shaklee products. My girls and I use the Energizing Soy Protein every day, for example, and it gives us high quality protein without meat products and fat.”<br />
<br />
Will Laurie Brandt ever call it quits? According to the 47-year-old, “It’s never over ’til it’s over.”<br />

I am writing this letter because of my appreciation for <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare">Shaklee cleaning products</a>. As a cleaning company I would highly recommend the products because they not only cost less but they clean much better,<br />
not to mention the safety to my people.<br />
<br />
In the last five years I have tried many other products, including Amway and the Price Club. The cost in some cases were doubled; Price Club products cost me $539.00 per year, Amway cost me $378.00 a year, and <i>Shaklee costs me only $176.55 per year</i>.<br />
<br />
I know many small businesses and homes try to save money by shopping sales in town. I was one of those people. Then I was challenged to use Shaklee products for six months to see if I could save money. Well, I did and I am here to say Shaklee products will safe you money too.

Used as directed, Basic-G tackles over 40 of these pesky microbes (see below), including several animal viruses. That makes it an excellent choice for use in the kitchen, bathroom, or pet area. In addition to being economical - one quart makes up to 64 gallons - it's also EPA registered. </span></span><b><a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00525">Shaklee Basic-G</a></b> is a cleaner formulated for killing germs. It is sold as a concentrate, which allows you to vary the cleaning power, 3/8 tsp. in a pint of water is sufficient for cleaning most surfaces. It is available in a quart container which will make 64 gallons of disinfecting cleaner. At this dilution for a spray unit and in similar dilutions for larger amounts of water, Basic-G is safe to use around youngsters, pets, those with compromised immunological defenses, respiratory problems and airway issues. It’ll look like plain water and have a hardly perceptible smell, however; it is forceful, even when watered down as instructed in a 16 oz. spray bottle. It is also certified kosher. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">In The Kitchen</span></b><br />
<section class="Module body FLC"><section> <ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step">You can use Shaklee Basic-G to disinfect cutting surfaces, <span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxthookspan" id="itxthook0w0" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">counter</span><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxthookspan" id="itxthook0w1" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> </span><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxthookspan" id="itxthook0w2" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">tops</span>, tables, refrigerators and appliances. However, Basic-G is not food-safe, so any surface that comes in contact with food should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water after application of Shaklee Basic-G. The product has been shown to be effective at killing many food-borne bacteria, plus viruses and fungi, so it has many applications in the kitchen.</div></div></li>
</ul><h2 class="header Heading3">In The Bathroom</h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step">Since many of the germs in a household seem to get concentrated in the bathroom, bathroom cleaning is an ideal application for Shaklee Basic-G. Surfaces in the bathroom do not even have to be rinsed, unless it is likely they will come into contact with food or other items that may be placed in the mouth. In addition to killing many viruses and bacteria, Basic-G also kills three fungi including the fungus that causes athlete's foot.</div></div></li>
</ul><h2 class="header Heading3">In Pet Areas</h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step">While Shaklee Basic-G has been proven effective against many airborne and food-borne bacteria and viruses that affect humans, it is also effective against several diseases that can affect animals. This makes it ideal for disinfecting areas that are frequented by pets -- litter boxes, sleeping areas, chicken <span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxthookspan" id="itxthook1w0" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">houses</span>, pet doors -- any hard surface that frequently comes into contact with animals. Again, though, if you choose to use this on any food or water dishes or items that the pet may lick or chew, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry before allowing the animal access to it.</div></div></li>

If that’s true, then addressing inflammation could be a singular approach to targeting multiple health conditions and, perhaps, could simplify scientific and medical research strategies for fighting many of the most deadly chronic diseases.<br />
<br />
We now know that there are many possible lifestyle and environmental triggers of inflammatory stress, including smoking; a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet; obesity; radiation; and even exposure to environmental toxins. Persistent, chronic, or uncontrolled low-grade inflammation has been linked to increased risk for the metabolic syndrome and heart disease, diabetes and insulin resistance, rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, asthma, allergies, and even Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
<br />
Acute inflammation is a natural immune system response to injury or infection during which the body orchestrates a symphony of immune system signals, messages, and physiological actions to combat and neutralize foreign invaders that may be responsible for the injury. This inflammatory response can result in the characteristic redness, heat, swelling, and pain that you may see and feel at the site of a wound and is the beginning of the healing process as the body eventually brings nourishment to the site.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Most of the time, inflammation is an acute, on-demand function, a <i>biological stress response</i> that enables our body to fight off disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and parasites. But when inflammation doesn’t shut down on cue, or somehow persists with no particular purpose, it can attack normally healthy cells and cause damage at the cellular level. In autoimmune diseases, a continuously triggered inflammatory response causes damage to its own tissues—sometimes with disastrous health consequences.<br />
<br />
Recent research has uncovered the benefits of smoking cessation and even moderate exercise as sound approaches to battling inflammatory stress. A September 2010 laboratory study found that a three-week moderate exercise regimen reduced several biomarkers of inflammatory stress, including C-reactive protein (CRP) in diabetic rats, (<a href="http://shaklee.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUs%7Ewq9JP8S8TPbGtEe%7EyL%7EJvsq%7E7X%7ECb6soTr%7E&2=12633" target="_blank">onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/<wbr></wbr>10.1111/j.1365-2249.2010.<wbr></wbr>04240.x/abstract</a>). The investigators concluded that moderate physical exercise had significant anti-inflammatory effects and that this may be a good strategy to protect against insulin resistance and vascular complications in diabetics.<br />
<br />
<u>Nutritional approaches to reducing inflammatory stress are also receiving more attention</u>. Several studies have supported the benefits of a “Mediterranean” or an “anti-inflammatory” type diet, and spices such as ginger and turmeric are also showing promise. In the 2010 review <i>Dietary polyphenols can modulate the intestinal inflammatory response</i>, plant sources of dietary polyphenols—including green tea extract, various flavonoids, ellagic acid (found in <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21200">muscadine grapes</a> and <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=22911">pomegranates</a>), and <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=22911">resveratrol</a> (found in red wine and Japanese knotweed)—were shown to successfully modulate intestinal inflammatory response. The investigators concluded that the use of natural preventive treatments in early life could reduce or delay inflammatory bowel diseases, and that polyphenols could play an important role in modulating intestinal inflammation (<a href="http://shaklee.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUs%7Ewq9JP8S8TPbGtEe%7EyL%7EJvsq%7E7X%7ECb6soTr%7E&2=12634" target="_blank">onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/<wbr></wbr>10.1111/j.1753-4887.2009.<wbr></wbr>00210.x/abstract</a>).<br />
<br />
In February 2011, a new study, <i>A resveratrol and polyphenol preparation suppresses oxidative and inflammatory stress response to a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal</i>, was published online in the <i>Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.</i> The researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY) showed that a resveratrol and muscadine grape polyphenol blend was able to suppress the oxidative and inflammatory stress response typically experienced after consumption of a high-fat fast food meal (<a href="http://shaklee.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUs%7Ewq9JP8S8TPbGtEe%7EyL%7EJvsq%7E7X%7ECb6soTr%7E&2=12635" target="_blank">jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/<wbr></wbr>content/abstract/jc.2010-<wbr></wbr>1812v1</a>).<br />
<br />
This peer-reviewed and published human study is even more compelling because it is one of the earliest placebo-controlled clinical research studies on resveratrol compounds. In fact, a January 2011 review of resveratrol research published in the <i>Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences</i> found only six recently completed clinical trials on resveratrol supplementation, and only one other study employed a placebo-controlled design (<a href="http://shaklee.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUs%7Ewq9JP8S8TPbGtEe%7EyL%7EJvsq%7E7X%7ECb6soTr%7E&2=12636" target="_blank">onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/<wbr></wbr>10.1111/j.1749-6632.2010.<wbr></wbr>05853.x/abstract</a>).<br />
<br />
In the SUNY study, the researchers fed 10 healthy adults either the resveratrol-muscadine polyphenol blend or a placebo before the high-fat fast food meal, and markers of oxidative and inflammatory stress were measured for five hours following the meal. In the group consuming the polyphenol blend, there was a significant reduction in the oxidative stress response typically observed after consumption of a high-fat meal. At three hours, there was also a 150% increase in Nrf-2, an important regulator of the body’s antioxidant defense and detoxification systems.<br />
<br />
The investigators also reported a significant blunting of the body’s inflammatory response to eating a high-fat fast food meal in the subjects who consumed the <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21200">resveratrol-muscadine polyphenol blend</a>. Induction of two well-known inflammatory biomarkers, plasma lipopolysaccharide and IL-1ß, were both significantly reduced after consuming the high-fat meal, but only in the supplement group.<br />
So what are we to do to address the chronic low-grade inflammation that permeates our modern-day lifestyles? Fortunately, many of the same dietary and lifestyle behaviors we’ve recommended for decades to lower the risk for cardiovascular diseases and cancer can also help to reduce the risk for chronic inflammation:<br />
<ul><li>Find an exercise you like and participate on a regular basis</li>
<li>Reduce stress and keep your blood pressure in check</li>

For years my doctor told me to cut down on fats, increase my level of exercise and start taking a statin drug. I kept telling him I was game for the first two but didn’t want the statin. At 40 he finally gave me the ultimatum. My total cholesterol was at 272, HDL 38, LDL 193 and triglycerides at 205. He gave me four months to show significant improvement, or it was time to start the statins. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="color: #1f497d;">I saw your presentation on <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21219">Shaklee’s Cholesterol Reduction Complex </a>and decided it was worth a try. Three months later, my total cholesterol dropped to 224, HDL up to 42, LDL down to 156 and triglycerides down to 128. This time, in the discussion with my doctor the word “statin” never came up. I have another appointment in a few months and will let you know how those numbers turn out. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

He has been on <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html">Shaklee supplements</a> since 2001, but we have seen the most change since starting <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Nutrition&sub_cat=AntiAging">Vivix</a> August 2008. The improvements became noticeable within 2 months.<br />
<br />
Before Vivix, our goal was to keep him as healthy as possible so his body only needed to deal with Parkinson's. Since Vivix, our goal has changed to repairing his DNA, reducing his symptoms and his medications; then use his personal experience to help others. I often reflect on why God put Shaklee in my path – and it’s times like this when I hear the answer.<br />
<br />
Chuck is 80, I am 60; we’ve been married 26 years, have a blended family of 6 children and 16<br />
grandchildren. He is my partner and the love of my life.<br />
<br />
In 2003 Chuck was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease – a progressive neurological disorder with no<br />
known cure. When you hear Parkinson’s you may think of Michael J. Fox, or the former Pope, who lived with Parkinson’s for many, many years. Chuck has a very positive attitude about his PD, he figures something would eventually get him, and it could be worse.<br />
<ul><li>dementia</li>
<li>tremors in the hands and legs</li>
<li>impaired large and small muscle dexterity</li>
<li>slow walk, eventually becoming a shuffle</li>
<li>speech problems</li>
<li>hunched posture</li>
<li>drooling</li>
<li>balance and coordination issues</li>
<li>facial ‘mask’ – people with PD begin to lose their expression, have a quiet dullness about them, or as I refer to it, their lights go out</li>
</ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJewWHU-WrOi1W_p5vTrPfVqo5Hwg_aC6S-nR0BJWGkdZbCUN1Bswz8VzxvAnGH7qGuhk_JqhDqwbsglyIVfI6DlF-lt1GDgp_Uysj7GXgkyK2EjZqZgi1hLg5GbYgQ9bkrpvV18xZzwCA/s1600/vvx-head-vivix2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJewWHU-WrOi1W_p5vTrPfVqo5Hwg_aC6S-nR0BJWGkdZbCUN1Bswz8VzxvAnGH7qGuhk_JqhDqwbsglyIVfI6DlF-lt1GDgp_Uysj7GXgkyK2EjZqZgi1hLg5GbYgQ9bkrpvV18xZzwCA/s320/vvx-head-vivix2.jpg" width="320" /></a>At Shaklee’s 2008 International Conference, when Vivix, our new cellular anti-aging tonic, was<br />
announced, Dr. Jamie McManus, Director of Health Sciences at Shaklee, said people with diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and neurological diseases would have the most results. Well, you can imagine my cheer at that news!<br />
<br />
Chuck began taking Vivix immediately and has been faithful with it every day since.<br />
<br />
When asked how he feels today, he says he feels better but not sure exactly how. My report is that<br />
improvement has been happening continuously - and it is these things in life that mean the most! He’s<br />
back to:<br />
<ul><li>laughing, smiling and making jokes</li>
<li>our Chiropractor says his body is more flexible</li>
<li>participating in group conversations </li>
<li>singing silly songs</li>
<li>we’ve been dancing again</li>
<li>he’s more engaged in life</li>
<li>the dementia that had set in has left</li>
<li>and best of all – when you look into his eyes, his lights are back on!</li>
</ul>Is Vivix making a difference in Chuck’s health and in our life together? You bet it is! Some people say Vivix is expensive. I say Vivix is priceless.<br />

They are micronutrients because our bodies require them in small amounts compared to things like carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. Vitamins are a significant part of our good health because they regulate metabolism and are part of how our processes our food to release the energy within it. Vitamins are either soluble in water or fat. Water-soluble vitamins must be brought into the body daily because they are not stored in the body but pass through the body within hours. Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body, usually in the body's fatty tissues.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Vitamin E</b></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEismWymBwhBkglO6dL4V7U7FujvnkoC6Xy-xRd2n2k6wCTt9r4cwx-xfOw0Woxd9qvm-y79eCbTB6WVEhuG7a8YQ-2n6fjCqFi0aFnU1vIGchhXASoz-hcQnKrdoPp51xvoe_G_TEfeIo_W/s1600/vitamin-e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEismWymBwhBkglO6dL4V7U7FujvnkoC6Xy-xRd2n2k6wCTt9r4cwx-xfOw0Woxd9qvm-y79eCbTB6WVEhuG7a8YQ-2n6fjCqFi0aFnU1vIGchhXASoz-hcQnKrdoPp51xvoe_G_TEfeIo_W/s200/vitamin-e.jpg" width="200" /></a>Vitamin E is actually a family of eight antioxidant compounds. Vitamin E prevents cell damage, protects other fat soluble vitamins, and protects low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) from oxidation. This vitamin is essential for normal calcium metabolism. Vitamin E has is also known to inhibit blood clotting and has other functions related to the activity of the immune system. The most common form of Vitamin E supplement is the gamma-tocopherol form. However, this form is not taken up by the body in any quantity because the liver selectively incorporates alpha-tocopherol into the blood. Still the gamma form may have some unique benefits in suppressing colon cancer. Vitamin E deficiency may result in damage to red blood cells and to nerves. Signs of deficiency include infertility in men and women, menstrual problems, neuromuscular impairment, shortened red blood cell lifespan, miscarriage and uterine degeneration. People with impaired balance and coordination and/or damage to the retina may also be deficient. People with severe malnutrition, fat malabsorption problems, may have Vitamin E deficiencies as well. Use caution when taking an anticoagulant medication, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatic heart disease or an overactive thyroid when taking supplemental Vitamin E.<br />

<br />
<div style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Supplements </b></span></div>Supplementation is important today because while we were created to get all the nutrients we need for healthy lives through our food, our commercialized food supply today does not provide the same volume of important nutrients that it once did. Due to poor commercial farming practices, depleted soils and premature harvesting, our produce is not as nutritious as Grandma's produce was. It is important that we supplement our diets with food based supplements because our bodies don't appreciate synthetic copy-cats. <br />

It is necessary for growth and development, protects against muscle weakness and is involved in regulating the heartbeat. It is also important in the prevention and treatment of breast and colon cancers, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and hypocalcemia; enhances immunity; and is necessary for thyroid function and normal blood clotting. Researchers have discovered that dark-skinned people and people living in the upper third of the continental United States and Canada cannot produce enough Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight which makes Vitamin D supplementation necessary. You can take <a href="http://lisaw.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html#/pop_VitaminD_quiz">a quick quiz</a> to see if you are getting enough Vitamin D. Benefits of Vitamin D include a reduction in the risk of colon polyps and prostate cancer, less coronary artery disease and a decreased chance of developing type 1 diabetes, plus increased muscle strength and coordination along with higher bone strength. Deficiencies can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults as well as loss of appetite, a burning sensation in the mouth or throat, diarrhea, insomnia, visual problems, and weight loss. Cholesterol lowering drugs, antacids, mineral oil and steroid hormones interfere with Vitamin D absorption. It is critical that Vitamin D be taken with Calcium, so be sure that your natural supplement includes calcium as well. <br />

They are micronutrients because our bodies require them in small amounts compared to things like carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. Vitamins are a significant part of our good health because they regulate metabolism and are part of how our processes our food to release the energy within it. Vitamins are either soluble in water or fat. Water-soluble vitamins must be brought into the body daily because they are not stored in the body but pass through the body within hours. Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body, usually in the body's fatty tissues.<br />
<br />

It also aids in the production of antistress hormones and <a href="http://ancientpathsnaturally.blogspot.com/2010/12/nutriferon-immune-support.html">interferon</a>, and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine and phenylalanine. You probably have already heard that Vitamin C is an antioxidant which means that it aids in the prevention of cancer. Studies have shown that taking Vitamin C regularly can reduce the symptoms of asthma and it helps protect against the harmful effects of pollution, protects against infection, and enhances immunity. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron but it also combines with toxic substances, such as some heavy metals, and renders them harmless so that they can be eliminated from the body. This vitamin also helps to lower LDL cholesterol levels (the 'bad' cholesterol) as well as lowering high blood pressure and prevents atherosclerosis, protects against abnormal blood clotting and bruising and reduces the risk of cataracts, promotes the healing of wounds and burns. The human body does no manufacture Vitamin C so we must obtain this vitamin from our diet. Scurvy is a disease caused by Vitamin C deficiency and is characterized by poor wound healing, soft and spongy bleeding gums, edema, extreme weakness and "pinpoint' hemorrhages under the skin. Other signs of Vitamin C deficiency are increased susceptibility to infection, joint pains, lack of energy, poor digestion, prolonged wound healing time, a tendency to bruise easily and tooth loss. Alcohol, analgesics, antidepressants, anticoagulants, oral contraceptives, smoking, and steroids reduce levels of Vitamin C in the body.<br />

<div style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Supplements </b></span></div><div style="color: black;">Supplementation is important today because while we were created to get all the nutrients we need for healthy lives through our food, our commercialized food supply today does not provide the same volume of important nutrients that it once did.

It also strengthens immunity by aid in gin the proper formation and functioning of white blood cells. Because it functions as a coenzyme in DNA and RNA synthesis, it is important for healthy cell division and replication. It is involved in protein metabolism and has been used to treat and prevent folic acid anemia and in the treatment of uterine cervical dysplasia. Folate may be the most important nutrient in regluating homocysteine levels. </span></span>Folate is also very important in pregnancy. It helps to regulate late embryonic and fetal nerve cell formation, which is vital for normal development. Sings of folic acid deficiency are a red and sore tongue, anemia, apathy, digestive disturbances, fatigue, graying hair, growth impairment, insomnia and birth defects. Oral contraceptives increase the need for folate and alcohol inhibits folate absorption.</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Many elderly people take "vitamin B12 shots" but unfortunately this inexpensive synthetic form of this vitamin is difficult for the body to absorb and usually fails to find it's way to the cells where it is needed. This is a prime example of synthetic vs natural supplementation. This vitamin has been shown to prevent, slor or even reverse symptoms of Parkinson's disease, Bell's palsy, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases. Studies suggest that </span></span>Vitamin B<sub>12</sub><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> could increase the synthesis of certain proteins that help to regenerate nerves. </span></span>Vitamin B<sub>12 </sub><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">is essential in converting the toxic stress chemical homocystine into a form which is used to build protein making it necessary for cardiovascular function and health. This vitamin is needed to prevent anemia, regulate the formation of blood cells and in the utilization of iron, it is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, cell formation and longevity, prevents nerve damage, maintains fertility and promotes normal growth and development. This vitamin is also linked to memory and learning abilities and has been shown to enhance sleep patterns. Deficiency can cause abnormal gait, bone loss, chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, digestive disorders, dizziness, drowsiness, enlargement of the liver, eye disorders, hallucinations, headaches, inflammation, irritability, labored breathing, memory loss, moodiness, nervousness, neurological damage palpitations, pernicious anemia, ringing in the ears and spinal-cord degeneration. Anitgout and anticoagulant drugs, and potassium supplements block the absorption of this vitamin.</span></span></div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

They are micronutrients because our bodies require them in small amounts compared to things like carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. Vitamins are a significant part of our good health because they regulate metabolism and are part of how our processes our food to release the energy within it. Vitamins are either soluble in water or fat. Water-soluble vitamins must be brought into the body daily because they are not stored in the body but pass through the body within hours. Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body, usually in the body's fatty tissues.<br />
<br />

<li>Deficiency can cause dry hair and/or skin, dry eyes, poor growth, insomnia, fatigue, reproductive troubles, sinusitis, pneumonia, respiratory infections, skin disorders and weight loss.</li>
</ul>Vitamin A, an antioxidant, is a fat-soluble vitamin commonly known as the anti-infective vitamin, because it is required for normal functioning of the immune system. Without each of the necessary components of the immune system, we get sick and experience other negative symptoms in our lives. <br />
<br />
Antibiotics, laxatives, and some cholesterol-lowering drugs interfere with the body's absorption of Vitamin A. Overdose of Vitamin A (over 100,000 IU daily for a long period of time) can be toxic to the body, particularly to the liver, and can cause birth defects. <span id="goog_291907298"></span><span id="goog_291907299"></span> <br />
<br />
<i>Carotenoids</i> are a class of compounds related to Vitamin A that are found in dark colored plant foods. One commonly known carotenoid is beta-carotene, others are lycopene and lutein. Beta-carotene has been shown to help prevent cancer by scavenging for free radicals. You cannot overdose on beta-carotene but if you take in too much your skin may turn slightly yellow-orange in color.<br />

By Sarah Pierce<br />
<br />
<br />
If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer. </blockquote><blockquote>The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.<br />
<br />
