Cross Country Skier Kris Freeman - What He Uses For Energy

If you watched the cross-country skiing events during the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, you saw the bodies pile up as athlete after athlete collapsed at the finish line, racked with pain and gasping for air.

“Viewers were alarmed, I realize,” said Kris Freeman, “but that is just the sign of a great race.” The four-time Team USA member (’02, ’06, ’10, ’14) added, “In the perfect race we push hard over the last 1000 meters and then thrust our lead foot at the finish line. We’re weaving and wobbly, so it’s common to crash. Then we’re so blown we just lie there like we’re half dead.”

But Kris’s pure love for the sport and his appreciation for his ability to exert keep him coming back for more. His story is remarkable for more than just his selection to four Winter Games; Kris is a Type 1 diabetic who has overcome numerous obstacles to compete as an endurance athlete at the highest levels for nearly two decades.

His is still one of the fittest athletes on the planet even though he just flipped 40 years. He continues to ski, but also competes in triathlons and just about anything involving high exertion, the outdoors, and a chance to win.

You may be tempted to say Kris gets a boost from Shaklee’s Energy Chews, but we may exclaim “are you kidding? Energy Chews get a boost from Kris!”

Ready for some pool work, Kris says, “Getting fired up for swim intervals with Performance Energy Chews.” Dive right in, Superman!

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...
