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 little headaches, but no migraines.
She is so excited
that she is sharing it with friends who have migraines and other health
problems. She has cut back on some of the supplements. She has also become more
aware of her diet. She ate many sweets and other snacks that were not too
healthy. I hope this has been of some help for you ………………….Helen

Optiflora & Migraine Testimony
I have had
migraines since the age of 12 that were associated with my menstrual cycle.
They were predictable and terrible. During pregnancy and lactation I did not
have a headache (I was either pregnant or nursing for eleven wonderful,
headache-free years). I thought that menopause would cure the problem, but like
20% of migraine sufferers when menopause hit I had a headache for a year and a
half. I really couldn't stand living!
I tried everything
and a completely restricted diet which eliminated all processed or aged foods
helped to give me
several days a week headache free. Imitrex was life-changing for me as it would
knock a headache down, but at the cost of $139 per nine pills it was cramping
to my finances.
I added Optiflora
to my Shaklee nutrition program simply because I have always used health food
store acidophilus and am totally convinced that it is a symbiont to the human
body and must be present for digestion. After taking Optiflora for just two
days I attended a party and ate cheese and had a beer...a SURE headache within
four hours, but I had my Imitrex in hand. I was ready!
WELLLLLL...to make
a short story long... I can eat cheese, I can eat anything except foods with
MSG...I can't believe that this product made an immediate change in my ability
to digest foods, especially dairy foods, without a migraine. ………..Judy

"My Shaklee Story"
– Barbara
I would like to share my Shaklee success story with
you. Shaklee has changed my life. I started taking a variety of the Shaklee
food and herbal supplements and the Energizing Soy Protein in November 1999.
From that time to the present my health has changed DRAMATICALLY for the better.
In August of 1998, I suffered a
"mini-stroke" due to complicated migraines. At the onset of this "mini-stroke"
my right leg went numb. I had to hobble down the stairs. After a few minutes I
had trouble speaking. All of my words came out tangled up. I knew what I wanted
to say but all of the words came out wrong. To say the least this was very
frightening. This episode lasted for several minutes and then suddenly I could
speak normally again and my leg returned to normal.
I went to see my physician the next day. After weeks
of extensive testing, I was told that this was a result of complicated
migraines. For over one year, each day I experienced numbness, pain and
weakness in my legs and arms and intermittent nausea. I also had periods of
severe forgetfulness and fatigue. I could recognize people but not know their
names. It was awful.
My doctor had put me on two medications. These
medications helped but I was still very sick. I did NOT want to be on
medications my entire life. I was only 34 years old at the time. I wanted to
find a natural way to help myself. At this point there was some debate as to
the actual cause of my numbness and tingling and pain in my arms and legs. I
was sent to three different neurologists. These three doctors could not agree.
It was decided in the end that my symptoms were due to my migraines and stress.
In November 1999, I was introduced to Shaklee through
a friend. It was a miracle. I started with Vita-Lea, B-Complex, Vitamin E,
Vitamin C and Energizing Soy Protein. Within a short period of time, I began to
feel great improvement. I HAD NO SYMPTOMS! I was no longer tired, I felt so much
better. Later, I added Acuity Plus for the forgetfulness.
At my next doctor visit, I told my doctor about my
Shaklee regimen. I continued with it. At the end of January I phoned my doctor to
ask permission to be removed from my medications. He agreed. It is currently
May 2000 and I have been medication free since January 2000. I've never felt
better.
Case in point…three weeks ago I ran out of a few of my
supplements and my Energizing Soy Protein due to an unexpected financial
crisis. As a result, I suffered a migraine headache on Saturday. But I know
that this happened because I went off my Shaklee regimen. I WILL NEVER DO THAT
AGAIN!
Recently, I had my last follow-up visit with my doctor
on 5/26/00. He has declared me "totally recovered." My doctor is so
pleased with my recovery that he will be reviewing information about Shaklee.
Shaklee has also helped my daughter with her overall health and her allergies.
I have since started my own successful, expanding Shaklee business. I love it!
I like helping others become healthier. It is so much fun. With Shaklee I have
the opportunity to realize my dreams.
My current customers are constantly calling me to tell
me about their Shaklee success stories. It makes me so happy to hear their
stories. I thank my lucky stars that I found Shaklee when I did and would like
to thank Lisa V for introducing me to Shaklee. I also would like to thank my
Uplines, Laurie and Marci S for all of their help and support as well as my
friends and customers for their support and friendship.
Shaklee has truly changed my life. Thank you Shaklee.

Relief from Migraine
Headaches –Eileen
I'd suffered from headaches since I was a child. As I
got older my headaches progressed and I've been suffering from migraines since
1992. I've had Ct scans and MRI's taken and have taken different medications
which didn't work.
When a migraine strikes, I go to the hospital to
receive injections. I would start to dehydrate, feel nauseous and dizzy, have
blurred vision, and my blood pressure would drop. I'd go to the hospital when I
couldn't take the pain anymore, and aspirin would no longer help and would be
there for eight to ten hours until the pain subsided.
Doctor's suggested that I write a diary because they
thought the migraines could be food related. I knew they weren't, but kept the
diary anyway. There were times when I would go to work and would have to leave
because the migraine was so bad and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to drive
home.
I'd even tried going to a headache research clinic and
have taken so many different medications, for example, Zomig, Imitrex, etc. The
doctors suggested that I be on medication for the rest of my life, taking a
preventative medication which could damage my liver in the future.
I became so depressed. I couldn't go anywhere and was
always tired. I was afraid to do anything strenuous for fear of getting a
headache and I missed so many special occasions. I would take an aspirin every day
so I wouldn't get a migraine but that didn't always help. I even made the
decision to not have children because it was so hard to deal with my pain that
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of them. I felt my migraines were
actually taking over my life.
In March 2000, I was introduced to Shaklee products
through a friend, Barbara, who also had suffered from migraines. I started
taking Shaklee Basics and Energizing Soy Protein. In just a matter of days I
felt great! I wasn't tired anymore. I actually felt like a totally different
person. It's a miracle!! I can't believe how great I feel and I would like to
thank Barbara for introducing me to Shaklee and Shaklee for the great products.
I have my life back!
