The month of October can be such a beautiful month! With the fall colors, crisp air and the activity of wildlife getting ready for winter, fall is a nice change of pace from the hot, lazy days of summer. With fall also comes the beginning of cold and flu season. Prevention is not only easier than treating after an illness strikes, it is also cheaper! When you figure in doctor visits, co-pays, prescriptions, lost days of work or school, not to mention the just plain awful way you feel, preventing getting sick in the first place just sounds a whole lot better. For the month of October we will be focusing on the immune system. Over the next few weeks, be on the lookout for articles coming your way on how to keep your immune system healthy. We will feature different ideas that you may already know along with some ways you may not yet know of. When it comes to the war on the nasty germs, we will help arm you with the best weapons to fight them. On to this month’s sales ...

Tell us what you think. Are you going to get the Swine Flu shot or a regular flu shot or both? Neither? By: Dr. Stephen G Chaney We are again hearing reports of a possible swine flu pandemic. At this point several cases of swine flu have been reported. The individuals who came down with swine flu all had direct contact with pigs, and all of the cases have been mild so far. However, we are being urged to get swine flu shots, and some of you have been asking my opinion. With that in mind, I am repeating the column I wrote several years ago at the height of the last swine flu epidemic. “The swine flu vaccine will be available soon and many of you are asking me three questions: Is it safe? Is it effective? Should I get swine flu shots? There is a lot of hype on both sides of the issue, so let me give you some straight talk about safety and effectiveness so that you can use to make up your own mind about whether you want to get a swine flu shot. Let’s talk...

Below are several testimonies on finding relief from migraines. Migraines can be so debilitating and it's comforting to see that there are people finding relief. Migraines Testimonies I have a neighbor who has suffered with migraines for years. They were reoccurring every week and she would spend a couple day a week in bed. She was also having problems with depression. I had spoken with her about Shaklee over the years, but she was not interested. Finally last May she said that she was ready. I gave her: Soy Protein, Vita Lea, B-Complex, Vita C, Calcium Mg., GLA, EPA, Lecithin, Optiflora, and Moodlift for her depression. We went out of town and I did not see her for almost a month. When we came home she came over and said that she had not had a migraine since she started with Shaklee. She is off all her medication, including her depression medication. She said that it is the first time in several years that she has felt like doing anything. She has had a few litt...
