Jennifer's Allergies Have Improved!

At 14, Jennifer had suffered from allergies and received allergy shots for the past 8 years (since she was 6!).  She lacked energy and I had to pull her out of bed on school days.  I didn't realize what a negative impact the drugs were having on her.  After being introduced to Shaklee, I realized Jennifer's immune system needed help BIG TIME!  Her program included NutriFeron, Vita C, Vita-Lea and Soy Protein.  It wasn't long before she was bouncing out of bed on her own.  Her allergies improved and there was a remarkable change in her energy level and appetite.  I removed all store bought cleaning products and replaced them with Shaklee's non-toxic Get Clean products.  I was convinced Shaklee was the answer - and I still am!  Thank you Shaklee!!

COPD & Macular Degeneration Improvement!

 Roy, has been on VIVIX, Vitalizer, NutriFeron, extra OptiFlora, and Cinch a little over 4 months. His lung capacity has increased to the point that he no longer needs supplemental oxygen, nor does he need a nebulizer. All that equipment has been removed from his home. His three Doctors have demanded to talk with me. Also his macular degeneration has improved dramatically …. he went from not being able to see anything out of one eye, and had to use magnification to see anything out of the other eye, to being able to see out of both eyes, able to read the TV screen, & read books in normal print. Needless to say, this 82 year old man is very excited about Shaklee.


The other COPD customer has improved so much in three weeks on VIVIX, Vitalizer and NutriFeron that his wife called me yesterday -- so excited because for the first time in years he is climbing stairs, running errands for her, cooking on the grill (despite the smoke), and agreeing to go to parties and be with people again. His sense of humor has come back. He got on a ladder and put up her flag for 9/11. She was ecstatic. You see, she is 68 and she married a younger man of 58 and was watching him slowly disappear.

NutriFeron: Immune Support

Your body's built-in defenses work hard to keep you healthy.  Daily bombardment from environmental irritants and airborne pollutants can unbalance your immune system.  Our immune systems are complex and multi-faceted systems designed to protect us from invading bacteria, viruses and allergens.  When our immune system is out of balance we are much more susceptible to illness.  Part of the job of the immune system is to recognize and destroy potentially dangerous invaders and pre-cancerous cells.  The way our bodies do this is with the production of interferon.  Interferon triggers neighboring cells resistance mechanism and activates other immune cells that kill invaders.  Interferon is a critical component of our immune system.

World-renowned immunologist Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima first discovered interferon in 1954, while he was conducting research at Tokyo University. After 40 years of painstaking research, testing hundreds of natural compounds, he developed a unique blend of four powerful plant extracts that boosts the body’s natural production of interferon. Those 4 powerful plant extracts are:  Pumpkin seed extract, Safflower extract, Asian plantain seed extract and Japanese honeysuckle flower extract.

Scientists and medical communities have identified interferon as critical to healthy immune function. NutriFeron is the only dietary supplement in the U.S. created by the discoverer of interferon that naturally increases the production of interferon in the body.  In a recent laboratory study, NutriFeron has been shown to positively impact natural killer (NK) cells.

This potent-yet-safe phytonutrient blend provides immune support right at the cellular level. Studies have shown the extraordinary health and immune protection benefits of NutriFeron’s proprietary blend of four plant extracts.

NutriFeron is an exclusive patented formula available only through Shaklee. A powerfully effective supplement, it has exceeded a stringent set of scientific tests for safety, purity, potency, and performance.  NutriFeron is both Kosher and Gluten Free.

Severe Allergies Helped Naturally

I'm allergic to pollen, dust, grass, weed, trees, feathers, fun, certain scents, dogs, cats and certain food (citrus, fish, cashews or anything processed in a plant with tree nuts). I also have asthma. I suffered oozy itchy rashes on my hands so bad I could hardly bend my fingers and couldn't work as a nail tech. For years I would break out all over my body every time the wind blew. I was always getting nosebleeds. I was constantly sick with bronchitis, and pretty much had no vice for 4-6 months out of the year. I tried over the counter, and every prescription med, inhalers, nose sprays, you name it. Zyrtec worked the best but made me absolutely crazy and I had to quit taking it. I was getting allergy shots for a while and they helped a lot, but the series were sporadic, due to red tape in the MediCal system, and a couple times I had anaphylactic reactions to the shots which was really scary! The last time MediCal stopped my shots was when the Nutriferon first cam out. I was freaking about the shots because if I didn't get them every week, I'd be back to the same symptoms and end up with bronchitis and losing my voice, etc.

I was a non-committed Shaklee user, but decided to give the Nutriferon a try at the urging of my sponsor. My gosh, what a difference! I doubled up on it the first few days, then took two a day regularly for a long time. I did go without it for about a week at one point, and that is where I really saw the difference because the symptoms came back!

Other than that, I've been basically symptom free since I started taking the Nutriferon, and I've gotten friends who were distributors for other companies taking it for their allergies and asthma because they saw the difference in me an dhow much better I was since I started taking the Nutriferon. I've only been taking one a day for a while now, along with the foundation vitamins (Vitalizer & Protein), plus Alfalfa & Calcium.

I have seven children, one with severe allergies who also takes Nutriferon. My oldest daughter, who is in college in Santa Cruz, takes it every day and she was the only on in school that didn't get sick the whole year, except once, and that time she recovered really fast when she double up on the Nutriferon. The other kids take it when others around them are getting sick at school and work. It feels good to be able to go outside on a beautiful day and not be afraid of breaking out in a rash. I even go outside when it is windy and still have my voice! Recently I went on a five-mile hike when everything was blooming and didn't even sneeze or get wheezy! Nutriferon is amazing stuff - I can't help but be excited about it!

God Bless the doctor who developed it!

Breast Cancer Success

In October, 2006, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had 2 lumpectomies: went through chemotherapy, herceptin and radiation: also, had a partial hysterectomy. When I finished the chemo, I restarted my NutriFeron, Vita-Lea, Osteomatrix, and Sustained Release Vita-C, and 6 months prior to my last check up I started on Vivix. My physician, who is Head, Surgical Oncology in the Breast department, at Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, Florida said my blood work and exam were EXCELLENT!!!

I asked if they were any closer to a cure for breast cancer. The doctor said "No" but that a substance has been found to treat the individualized expression of breast cancer, such as, Herceptin for non-hormonal breast cancer. They feel it will prevent the re-occurrence of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Moffitt has just put in for a one-million dollar grant for a clinical trial of this substance.

When I asked "What is the substance", the doctor said it was Resveratrol! I said I have been taking Shaklee's Vivix (Resveratrol) for 6 months; can I be a part of the study? The doctor looked surprised and said "You're the first person that we have ever seen that had such great results with Resveratrol. Since you've been on it already, I will request for you to be a patient advocate during the testing".

If the grant is approved I would be thrilled that I will be helping the Susan B. Komen Foundation in this study. Once you have experienced breast cancer ( a disease that has no cure, yet), at every check-up you can't help but have an underlying fear. Taking Vivix, NutriFeron and the other supplements take the edge off knowing that they may prevent the recurrence of cancer.

Lyme Disease Short Story

During the past several years, after realizing that a debilitating arthritic ankle was due to Lyme disease, I changed strategies from focusing on controlling inflammation to fighting an infection and started to see immediate improvement. Without using "conventional" antibiotic protocols for advanced Lyme, I increased my Nutriferon to 4 per day, added d-Lenolate Olive Leaf extract, colloidal silver, Quantum biofeedback therapy and of course too many Shaklee supplements to mention. 

At my worst, I needed a brace and could barely climb stairs. The pain wasn't responding to any over the counter NSAIDS or Pain Relief. Over the course of a year I had improved dramatically, but still had some evening pain after a full day on my feet, and still needed to be very careful on the stairs.

 I added VIVIX to my routine sporadically, and started to notice the lessening of pain. However, in January I started to take Vivix every day faithfully. Sometime in mid-January I had the urge to start “Spring” housecleaning and rearranging! I was sleeping much better and waking at 5:30 all set to begin my day! Lately, I've been able to come down the stairs in the morning carrying things in both hands without rails or leaning on the wall. I notice I am bordering on obnoxiously PERKY, compared to folks around me. I was even dancing vigorously with my 5 year old grandson last Saturday night after a big day at the shop. How FUN and pain free is that! I am so excited about VIVIX, I've been sharing my delight on a daily basis with friends and customers from my women’s retail store. Thank you Shaklee!

PS: My last biofeedback treatment was clear for all Lyme factors and my "cell vitality" was 10/10! My Quantum biofeedback therapist had never seen this before and ordered Vivix yesterday for herself and her dearest friend!

Another Lyme Disease Story

This story is ... wow!

I contracted lyme in 1990 in Arkansas, a state as many are told does not have lyme disease. I found the tick so therefore I knew I had lyme. I developed everyone of the lyme symptoms, but could not get a Dr to believe it was lyme. In 1992 we moved to upstate NY and in 1994 when things really got bad for me I finally found a Dr to diagnosis me and basically couldn't believe with my symptoms that no one else would treat me for this. I received at that time 4 weeks of doxy which temporarily helped with things like the black outs, but nothing else. As time went on I got really scared. I actually thought I had Ms because the symptoms were so bad. Well it continued to get worse to the point I was now bedridden. Test showed I was "Full of Arthritis". They put me in physical therapy for 3x weekly and told me to get use to it.

To give you a little background on myself, prior to contracted lyme in 1990, I was an extremely active person. Did century rides on my bike, ran 3 miles daily, swam, lifted weights, you name it. Nothing in this world would ever slow me down. Little did I know how severe this disease could be. In fact when I found the tick on me, after collapsing in a store totally paralyzed, my husband was more upset then I because he knew more about lyme. No little tick was going to get me down. When you are lying in bed it gives you lots of time to think and read which is exactly what I did. Prior to contracting lyme I had used supplements, but nothing major. In fact I want to clear the air right now this is not about selling anything, it is about what worked for me and why I use a certain brand - Shaklee. I had used the Shaklee multi and that was it, but had seen this product do wonderful things for others in my family, including my son who was so sick from birth.

So I thought it was time to test this stuff on me. Through my research I discovered a lot about the immune system and how critical it is to any disease to keep it running correctly. I learned a lot about environmental toxins, the foods we eat and what is in them and on and on. So I watched what I ate, MEGA-dosed on supplements, drank lots of water to flush my system and hydrate me, and learned to listen to my body. So began my recovery. I was up and walking again in a short period of time and a lot of the other symptoms started to disappear. The longer I did what I did the better I got. Below is a list of what I take and why. Please understand I am not into these so called miracle cures. I believe if the body is fed what it needs it will take care of itself. After all we are made of nothing but protein, vitamins, minerals, water, fats, carbos. The problem being is so much of our food is depleted of these things and heavily saturated with chemicals it suppressed the immune function.

This is what I take:

Soy Protein (kosher) - You can not build a cell without protein as well it needed to repair tissue cells

Vita Lea (kosher) - Best all round multi-vitamin

Vita C (kosher) - This is probably my favorite and I megadose on this. So good for the immune system and fighting infections.

B-complex (kosher) - Converts food to energy, builds red blood cells, and helped withmy neuro damage.

Nutriferon (kosher) - This is designed specifically for the immune system.

Garlic (kosher) - Again great for the immune system as well as the heart. I had developed heart complications.

Lecithin - It is a fat emulsifier for the heart problems. As well it got my liver enzymes back to normal.

Alfalfa (kosher) - Great for arthritis as well as allergy problems which I developed after the lyme. Also great for fighting infections.

Fiber (kosher) - For the obvious reasons, digestion. It is so critical to have a properly running digestive tract to rid the body of toxins. If the body does not flush the toxins out it will reinfest itself. Americans are the most constipated people in the world.

Herb-Lax (kosher) - Again for the obvious reason, but as well this product cleanses lymph glands and blood stream.

OsteoMatrix (kosher) - This stopped the muscle spasms

Optiflora - For intestinal bacteria

Vita E (kosher) - For heart and immune function

Beta Carotene - Immune Function

As you can see from the list I take a lot of supplements. But these supplements, along with some diet changes, have brought my life back to normal. I look at it like this, instead of eating a bag of M&M's I eat supplements. One thing I must stress also was I avoid sugar. This is the quickest way I can bring my arthritis pain back. I have learned that it is because sugar dehydrates you and then causes digestion problems. As I mentioned earlier listen to your body. Each of use is different.

Also my husband had candida problems and it wasn't from antibiotic use. We get more antibiotics in the food we eat then we consume. And if the body is stressed with any disease, infection, healing a wound, etc. this will cause the immune system not to keep the yeast under control.

I will continue to stress to use Shaklee supplements. I know no other company with a better product. I have researched these as well have tried other brands and there is no comparison.

God Bless, Mary

Since this time Shaklee has put together a few packages with several of these products together at a discount.

To help reduce your exposure to environmental toxins, Shaklee has the Get Clean cleaning product line for everything in your house and office.

The above product does not contain all kosher products but The Rx for a Healthier Life is a kosher product pack. It contains the Vita-Lea, B Complex, OsteoMatrix, Vivix, Nutriferon and Cinch protein drink mix.

Vivix wasn't mentioned in this testimonial because it was written before the product was produced. Other Lyme Disease testimonials have had a lot of positive things to say about Vivix.

Combatting Lyme Disease

Recently my dear friend was tested for Lyme Disease at the urging of several of her doctors.  I took a bit of my spare time and learned a bit about what Lyme Disease is and how it can be dealt with.  I thought I'd share it here since it didn't seem that my internet searches turned up as much as I had hoped it would.  Maybe this will be helpful for someone, somewhere, someday.  :)

Adult Deer Tick

Lyme Disease is caused by a bacteria that is introduced to the body through a deer tick bite.  If the bacterial infection isn't defeated quickly it will continue to multiply in the body and begin to affect various parts of the body with an array of symptoms ranging from:

Stage 1: Circular rash and flu-like symptoms

Stage 2: Muscle and joint pains, heart palpitations and dizzyness, neurological problems and head aches.

Stage 3: Chronic symptoms affecting nearly every part of the body that can even lead to motor sensory impairment in the lower parts of the body (think paralysis).

The short of the story is that this bacterial infection has been found in the tissues of the skin, muscle, joint, heart and nervous systems.  It has the potential to make a big mess of a person's life!

It's a recent 'discovery' (the 1970's) which  makes me wonder why, in years gone by, it wasn't recognized as a disease.  That got me thinking quite a bit!   Why would a bacterial infection be-all-of-the-sudden newly discovered in recent years?  I'm inclined to think that it has more to do with the lifestyles and health of people today than it does with the bacteria or the tick.

Preparing for Allergy Season

**Originally posted March 4, 2010

While much of the USA is under snow and heavy winter weather, here in the Pacific Northwest we are having an unusually warm and beautiful winter.  Flowers and trees are in bloom already and it's only the first week of March!  While this is a beautiful sight to behold, those of us who suffer with seasonal allergies let out a little groan as we take in the splendor of creation.  Flowers mean pollen and pollen means we don't feel so hot.

Inflammation is a key component of our discomfort during allergy season.  When our bodies are working hard against what it considers and "evil intruder" our bodies naturally increase blood flow to the parts that need the extra help.  With allergies this process results in runny noses, red swollen eyes, sinus pressure and the like.  Sometimes these symptoms are inconvenient, other times they are quite severe.  Inflammation, however, isn't only a problem for allergy sufferers.  Allergies and many autoimmune diseases are directly related to inflammation.

I have written before about how our family has used herbs like Stinging Nettle to help with our allergies, and we've been pleased with that.  Stinging nettle works to reduce inflammation and ease allergy symptoms.  Now we are also implementing an based product into our allergy program. It's called Nutriferon and it's designed to boost the body's natural production of interferon.

Natural Allergy Relief Short Story

I had been told by allergists that it was easier to tell me what I was NOT allergic to than what I was. So I resigned to a life of taking prescription medications, allergy shots that would make me sick, and nasal sprays that were awful. Then, I decided to get cats. Now I know what you’re thinking, "He's allergic to everything ... surely cats are on the list!", and you'd be right. But this time I remembered the Shaklee Alfalfa from my youth and I remembered reading info about Shaklee’s NutriFeron. I went online and ordered these two products. I got the cats. I got my product and started taking it. Then I waited to see what would happen. And here's the best part - Nothing happened!

No sneezing,
No runny nose,
No feeling miserable,
and
No more prescription medications with nasty side effects.
NOTHING!

I can actually live in a house with cats and not have an allergic reaction. It's amazing, to say the least. I don't get that lethargic feeling the medications would cause. I have more energy. I sleep better. Get this.. the only times I feel my allergies kick back up is when I forget to take my Alfalfa and NutriFeron!

I also wanted to let you know I have chosen to build a Shaklee business. After years of working crazy schedules and stressful jobs I decided to take control of my life. I know in my soul that I made the right choice. Just as Dr. Shaklee said years ago, "Your future will be exactly what you decide to make it", I have decided to make a different future for myself. One that includes helping people live better lives. One that allows me to be with my family and friends. One that lets me be myself.
