Healthy Heart Testimony  By Rusty Ost I would like to address a situation that was brought about by my open-heart surgery. When I first became involved with Shaklee, it always amazed me when someone who used Shaklee food supplements suffered from some acute or degenerative disease. If Shaklee food supplements were so powerful, why hadn’t the victim been protected? Now that I’ve had open-heart surgery, I’ve heard people (even friends) say, “I thought you were taking all those vitamins so you would stay healthy. What happened?” I’d like to spend the next few minutes telling you exactly “what happened.” First of all, let me tell you a little about my background. Both my parents died at an early age of heart disease. Neither one of them had a second chance. My cholesterol level has been as high as 480. When I was in college, it was 360 and no one cared! In addition to having the familial history of heart disease, I consumed a very high-fat diet. W...

Ah August. The sun is shining, the grass is burning, the flowers are blooming (or wilting) and we all feel the winds of change off in the distance. It will be back to school time in just a matter of a few days for many students and some are already back. I can hear the collective moaning from kids and the rhythm of the happy dance the parents are doing all at the same time. August is a month that reminds us it’s still summer time and also that bedtimes need to be reset as school schedules loom in the near future. So we have compiled a short list of helpful tips to combine the two lifestyles as we enjoy the last month of summer. Our favorite two tips are: 1.     Do little things to improve your health like cut back on pop and keep yourself hydrated. 2.     Take time to enjoy this time with your family. Like summer, life is short. Be sure to enjoy it while it lasts. ~ For Surviving the Heat, Remember These Tips Reduc...

From about August to mid-November I had been having episodes of acid-reflux. So bad, that I thought I was having a heart attack. I could not lay down, sit or even walk for about 12 hours. I would sit on the floor hunched over and my chest would still hurt. I would also vomited until I got the dry heaves. Needless to say, this was a horrible experience for me. I had an episode about every week to the day. Then my upline sales leader, Sandi Chapman, told me to try Optiflora and Stomach Soothing Complex. I started out taking Optiflora three times a day and Stomach Soothing Complex between 3-4 times a day, I also drank about 8 glasses of water a day. I was so scared of having another episode of acid reflux I wanted to do anything I could to make sure that didn't happen. I now take Optiflora 1-2 times a day and Stomach Soothing Complex 1-2 times a day. I also take Alfalfa tablets twice a day. I am happy to report that it has been two months since I have had an episode....

In response to a question about a six month old baby experiencing acid reflux, this is  what Nedra Sahr , clinical nutritionist has to say: The baby's digestive system is 'under developed'. We recommend: 1 optiflora pearl crushed- pick out the shards of the covering. Mix 1/8 tsp of the Optiflora powder with the powder from the pearl. Put it on mom's finger and let baby suck it off the finger, then nurse. Once a day is usually sufficient. Works well for colicky babies, acid reflux, building  immunity et al .  There are large scale studies that have been done in Wales with infants  from birth to 9 months- giving each a dose of friendly probiotics each day. The increase  in immunity has been impressive. Nedra Sahr * Click here for more information on the product(s) listed above.

With summer's end coming up fast, some of us will be trying to cram in a last minute vacation. So here are a few tips from Shaklee's Director of Medical Affairs and Health Sciences, Pamela Riggs. By: Pamela Riggs I’ll be the first to say I love summer!  The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and it’s the time of year when we all deserve a nice, long vacation!  Whether you’re planning a trip to some far-away, exotic location or simply planning a “stay-cation” this year, vacation travel may make you a little uneasy and stressed about maintaining healthful eating and exercise habits.  If you’re trying to lose weight, eating on the road also can sabotage your efforts.  To help you have a healthy—yet relaxing—summer vacation, here are my top 10 health and wellness tips: 1.     Think ahead.  Do your homework. Use the Internet to find healthful food options in the town(s) you plan to visit. Many restaurants have t...

By Anthea Tripp My Mom will be 90 years old in November. She and my Dad have been using Shaklee products for more than 25 years. They don’t take a lot, but they have been consistent with what they do take – Vita Lea, OsteoMatrix, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, sometimes Nutriferon. As with many elderly, my Mom started showing signs of short term memory loss 4-5 years ago – very slow progression, but nevertheless real – along with a general slowing down mentally and physically. She basically just wanted to sit around, take multiple naps during the day, and didn’t seem to be motivated to get involved in daily activities, especially cooking ( I think she got confused where things were in the kitchen). Last Fall, I took them a month supply of Vivix and they began taking it right away. Toward the end of my stay – two weeks – I was in the kitchen starting dinner when my Mom came in and picked up a potato peeler and began helping me. That may not sound like much, but really it was huge – t...
