Diabetic Neuropathy Improved with Vivix

Find Vivix at this link

I have been diabetic since 1996. I have neuropathy in my legs and feet. On the days at work when I have to be on my feet for 5 hours or more I would leave here limping because my feet were so swollen I could barely walk. I would have to go home and elevate my feet and legs for an hour or two just to be able to function in the evening. I started taking VIVIX in 2008 and within about 3-4 months I noticed that when I left work – I did not have to go straight home – I could go grocery shopping or run errands and the pain and swelling was no longer in my feet. I can’t say that the VIVIX gave me more energy per se but rather I describe it as more endurance. I won’t go a day without it!

CorEnergy

Cordyceps sinensis is a fancy name for a particular mushroom that has been used for a very long time in Traditional Chinese and Tibetan Medicine and has a reputation even in Western medicine.  This medicinal mushroom is highly prized as a treatment for everything from fatigue to cancer, treating high cholesterol to ringing in the ears.  This little mushroom has been extensively tested and found to enhance stamina, possibly by promoting a more efficient use of oxygen and enhancing cardiovascular health.

For thousands of years, Panax Ginseng has been a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a treatment for a variety of ailments ranging from anxiety to diabetes to heart and lung conditions to the cold and flu, for brightening the eyes and enlightening the mind.  Panax Ginseng is said to promote energy, improve circulation, increase blood supply, revitalize, stimulate the body and aids in recovery.  Ginseng is an adaptogen - it increases the body's ability to tolerate stressful situations of all types.  It is commonly taken to increase energy, enhance physical performance and to prolong life.

Green Tea has been a medicinal tea in the Orient for thousands of years.  Green tea is both a stimulant and an antioxidant with a diversity of healing applications.  Used as treatments for asthma, heart disease, cancers, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, ear infections and the flu as well as a treatment for the herpes virus infections, eczema and even wrinkles, Green Tea has shown it's variety of benefits beyond simply increasing energy.  There are individuals who should not take Green Tea because it can counteract certain prescription medications so be sure to check with your physician before taking any products containing Green Tea.

Three CorEnergy capsules provide herbal adaptogens and antioxidant phytonutrients that support the body's own ability to maintain energy and enhance stamina.  CorEnergy is certified Gluten Free and comes in a certified Kosher formula too.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.  Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.

Product Summary
Peppermint has an invigorating, clean, fresh, menthol aroma. This important essential oil has been widely studied for its potential health benefits.

Product Story
Peppermint is native to Europe and is a hybrid of the wintergreen and spearmint plants.  Growing to approximately two feet tall, peppermint plants bloom from July through August, sprouting tiny purple flowers in whorls and terminal spikes. Simple, toothed, and fragrant leaves grow opposite the flowers.  Preparations for extracting peppermint essential oil begin with the leaves and flowering tops of the plant, where menthol—peppermint’s primary active component—is extracted.

Clarity of Thought, Focus and Energy

I took the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) on May 1, 2010 at the end of the spring semester of my junior year in college. It was also the Saturday before finals week. As I’m sure you can imagine, I was overwhelmed, stressed, and needing to divide my attention among quite a few different things (studying for school, studying for the test, packing to go home…).

The test was scheduled at 8am and I needed to arrive at the center early. The moment I woke up I took two of Shaklee’s Energy Chews, plus a few of the Stress Relief tablets. Despite it being 6:30am, I felt energized and refreshed, as ready as I could be to take the MCAT. I took along a few extra chews and took one during the scheduled breaks every 70 minutes during the test. I was able to remain focused and alert during the five hour test even though I was nervous and tired.

I was amazed at how clearly my thinking was for the long test. Taking practice exams as practice, I’d always find my attention wandering and need to call myself back to the task at hand. During the official exam, thanks to the Energy Chews, my thoughts remained on the test, section by section.

I honestly feel that the Chews enabled me to have a clarity and focus that I would have otherwise been lacking. The test was definitely overwhelming, but my energy didn’t flag and I felt alert for its entire duration. I’m satisfied with my test results and recently sent in my applications for medical school.

Thanks Shaklee!
