I was first introduced to Shaklee
about 14 years ago when my son was just under a year old. He was a healthy baby at
birth but he quickly developed respiratory illnesses. He was diagnosed with his first ear
infection at 8 weeks! Ear and sinus infections became commonplace.
Anyone who has had children with
ear infections and has done the midnight runs to the emergency rooms with high
fevers and nonstop refills of antibiotics knows of the anxiety and frustration
associated with this medical dilemma.
After meeting with pediatric
specialists at Huron Valley, St. Joes, Botsford and finally Uof M, I had a
chance encounter with a doctor who balanced traditional medicine with a
holistic approach to wellness. He
explained to me, which made perfect sense, that all of the antibiotics that they had been
pumping into my son had actually destroyed his precious little immune system.
His suggestion, coupled with
surgical intervention for a
tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and ear tubes was to take him off all antibiotics and put him on a
natural supplementation program that would rebuild his immune system and allow
his body to fight the infections off naturally.
The first set of vitamins I
bought at the health food store, made my son sick to his stomach. I tried them,
they made me nauseous too! I was getting frustrated, I then met Linda, a local
distributor for Shaklee, she explained to me that Shaklee products were
actually food derivatives and that they did not contain the fillers or
synthetics found in commercially manufactured supplements.
I tried them, and they worked! No
nausea and we could all take them with a light breakfast and keep them down
with no side effects! We started him on Liquid Lea, Vitamin C, B Complex (crushed), Immunity I (beta
carotene) and soy protein . We dosed him 3 times a day.
After about 2 weeks he showed
definite signs of improvement. He started swallowing the supplements at 2 years old,
always drinking through a straw to help wash them down. I mixed the protein in
applesauce as we tried to avoid all dairy.
And then one day....NO MORE
ANTIBIOTICS. The combination of the two approaches was a complete success. I can
count the times on one hand that he has been ill in the last 10 years. He is now a
healthy teenager.
