Ear Infections Testimonies (3)


My son had many, many ear infections when he was little. I was on Shaklee for years, and was only nursing when he got his first two at 5 weeks old! Imagine how bad it would have been if not for Shaklee.

Anyway, we were advised at about 2½ years old to get tubes...I wouldn't do it without a fight, and I didn't have to. The ENT put him on a sulpher drug for 3 months, while we also changed his diet, eliminating dairy products completely, for a while, (substituting with soy products) and of course, giving him any Shaklee we could get down him, vita-c, chew vita-lea, chew cal, herb-lax, etc. (it was a long time ago, and I cannot remember all...)

After we got him well, wouldn't you know it, we had been struggling with this for over 2 years, the pediatrician said something to the effect that he thought most of these children's chronic ear infections were caused by an allergy to dairy! (I thought he could've told me before I figured it out myself...like 2 years before!)

Nathan's Story

Nathan is our 2 year-old. Because I had tested positive for Strep B while I was carrying him he was at high risk to develop Septicemia. We had almost lost my oldest son 18 years ago with the same thing so the doctor wanted to take the cautious route.

He was administered intravenous antibiotics from the moment he was born. The usual treatment is to give antibiotics to the mother during labor but there was not time as my labor was only 45 minutes!

I believe because the antibiotics killed out the good bacteria along with the bad his immune system never even had a chance to develop. By the time he was 9 months old he had experienced bronchitis, a double ear infection and numerous colds.

I tried talking to my pediatrician about my concerns but on 2 occasions was told this was normal. I couldn't accept this as being "normal" because he was breast-fed and my mother's instinct said something was wrong with this picture. I was becoming increasingly concerned about having a sickly child and wasn't there something I could do?

Enter Shaklee's Optiflora. When he was 10 months I began giving Nathan 1/4 tsp. prebiotic and a pearl everyday. I also added Infants Vita lea and Vita-C chewables dissolved in juice. Two months ago I started him on 1 tsp. of Protein in his milk.

The wonderful news is---he has not had an ear infection since!! He's had a few colds but the duration is much less. I have increased the probiotic to 1/2 tsp. and when he does get a cold I give him two doses a day. Hope this helps others in their quest to keep their children healthy!!

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
