Shaklee Vitalizer

Just like many people who first learn about SHAKLEE, I looked with suspicion at the box marked “Shaklee Essential Foundation for longer, healthier life”. The Essential Foundation box contained a month’s supply of Shaklee Basics vitamin strips and a can of non-GMO (non- genetically modified) Energizing Soy protein powder).

Yes, I was suspicious, even though I new the value of good nutrients and was already frequenting health food stores. I know that various companies produce many good nutrition products, and my choices where naturally determined mainly by the product price. Who would not go for a sale price and attractive product labels.

I do not remember now when my curiosity overcame my skepticism and I received my first “box”, but my doubt evaporated in a few days when I started using the product. To my surprise, I reclaimed energy, bounced back quickly after some trying life experiences, and had renewed hope that keeping myself healthy and delaying aging is possible. With other brands, the contentment that I am doing the right thing taking vitamins was the only difference in “before” and “after”scenario. With this one, clear change for the better was so effortless!

After I first tried Shaklee Essential Foundation for a month, it became my staple, appearing for a while every month at my doorstep from the UPS truck, thanks to the simple Shaklee Autoship system. After I first tested and tried it, gradually others around me discovered significant positive impact of the product to their health. I was more confident to offer it. That was then.

Now, things are even better. The Shaklee Basics was recently turned into the VITALIZER Wellness Pack.The improvement was made based on the latest scientific discoveries, by adding more pure, potent and powerful natural substances into the pack. When attending seminars and meetings, I constantly hear genuine sincere stories from many people who dramatically changed their lives for the better even after battling serious illnesses. The reason for the positive change was the safest, purest, most potent and powerful nutrients delivered to the cellular level of the human body. Serious science explorations, numerous tests, and discoveries are behind all SHAKLEE products. I believe that all who had some good luck to experience the unique SHAKLEE difference would agree with me: everyone can benefit significantly from these nutrients: a growing child, an aging adult suffering from chronic illnesses, and everyone in between.

Th scientific evidence is there, the products are there, the opportunity is there, the choices are there. Yet, it is very difficult to overcome widespread inertia in our thinking about our health and nutrition. A couple of encounters I recently had with some people can illustrate it clearly. First, I had to renew my driver’s license. The woman at the counter asked me about my medications. It surprised me. Why would the state need to know? “None, besides Synthroid” I replied. Synthroid is of no interest to such officials. (In my future stories I will have something to say about thyroid illness.)  The clerk raised her head from the paperwork, looked at me inquisitively clearly thinking that I did not understand her question. She restated the question: “What medicines do you take?” I do not take any medications either for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or anything else for that matter. My doctor does not think I need them.” Her surprised face was memorable.  I realized that there is prevalent notion among all of us that at certain age we all are supposed to take medications. It just has to be that way.

Another recent conversation with someone proved my theory being relevant: many of us think that it is a normal rite of passage to get on some kind of strong medication and depend on it for the rest of our life. The woman was a year younger than me, and there was a long list of medications that she was already taking. She was freely talking about it in relation to stories about her frequent visits to medical facilities. The discouraging thing was that she had no clear diagnosis, but at the same time she had some severe side effects from medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., etc.  Yet she wanted no information about the vitamins and nutrition.  I could clearly see that it was not such a big deal for her to pop so many strong drugs and suffer all the side effects to survive. She had no hope that things could change for the better.  Honestly, her attitude surprised me. Yet I realized that such attitudes are not uncommon.

To me it is a VERY big deal. I do not want to survive, I want to live. I am actually scared of getting seriously ill. I want those I love and care about to live long healthy lives, and to always have plenty of vitality to create good, gorgeous, useful and important things, or just to enjoy life and share their positive energy with others. I am convinced that getting ill prematurely is not inevitable. If we get ill, it should not necessarily be a lifetime sentence either. At some point in our lives, we just have to stop for a moment and think about ways to help ourselves to stay well. And, of course, the sooner we stop and think, the better. 

SHAKLEE is one way to do it. I feel very lucky that SHAKLEE nutrition is there for me and my family. After all, good health and vitality are priceless. Shaklee products are the main reason why so many of us become Shaklee distributors after just trying them. It just makes much sense to tell others about something uniquely good and helpful.

I can concur what one very successful Shaklee distributor excitedly stated from the podium: "I do not understand why so many people do not want it or use it?! Everybody should use the VITALIZER!"  And she knew what she was talking about. The young woman practically built her successful SHAKLEE business primarily just by sharing the VITALIZER and few other products.  The best of all is that her biggest reward is many people's lives changed for the better. 

Will everyone try the VITALIZER? The answer is clearly "No." Would everyone benefit from trying it? Absolutely. For those of us who see the tremendous value in staying healthy and keeping our families healthy, or who want  to overcome illnesses and sickness,  it is most definitely a good thing that SHAKLEE VITALIZER is so easily available. Thank you, SHAKLEE.

A Common Sense Approach to Life and Living

I love gardening and gardeners. One can not escape common sense approach to life and living if one wants to grow luscious, fruitful, and beautiful plants.

Recently, when asked by a radio listener how to save plants from diseases, a master gardener replied that proper plant food (fertilizer) and nutrient rich soil are much more important to the growth and strength of plants than any disease fighting chemicals: stronger plants withstand the diseases better.

We are not plants, yet we are living organisms. Shouldn’t we follow the same common sense if we want to stay healthier and stronger, if we would like to bounce back  from illness faster without suffering any "side effects"?

My next  journal entry will describe the Vitalizer, the Shaklee nutrient complex that is a true foundation for your good health.

10 RULES FOR HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT - By Forrest C. Shaklee, SR.

10 RULES FOR HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT - By
Forrest C. Shaklee, SR.

Rule #3

Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others.
Let your emotion of love gladden the heart of someone and see what an ample supply of happiness is reflected upon you. A selfish person may ...depend upon the gaining of possessions to bring him happiness, but he soon finds that such possessions reflect only his own selfish thoughts.
SOW THE SEEDS OF HAPPINESS IN OTHERS, AND YOU WILL REAP A JOYFUL HARVEST.

Rule #2

To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you have. It is not how much we have. It is what we THINK about that which we have that produces happiness. In building a happy, contented life, you must GIVE happiness to others. No one livin...g unto himself will ever be contented with his lot. Your happiness is reflected upon you through the service you give to others. And the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happiness-service from others. Start creating the happiness-habit by producing happy, love-filled thoughts. As man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Rule #1

Plan for happiness with as much care as you plan for the welfare of your business. Happiness is a state of mind; therefore, it depends entirely upon the thoughts you produce. You wouldn’t know whether you were happy or not, if you didn’t think a...bout it. So make sure that you THINK about the happiness you know CAN be yours.

As the salesman uses salesmanship to direct his sales, so must you use THOUGHTSMANSHIP to direct your thoughts of happiness.

ACTIVATE YOUR THOUGHTS, AND YOU ACTIVATE YOUR LIFE.

Quite a Celebration!

NINE ZEROS and a FIVE!

It is a lot of Green!

This commemorative souvenir was in the envelope along with my Shaklee Bonus check for this moth. Now I can visualize billions. We do hear much about billions on the news these days. Only they are with a minus in front of the row of the digits.

By the way, "this representation of wealth is not legal tender. Its sole intent is promotional." 

The message it conveys is this:

"Shaklee Reaches $5 Billion (5,000,000,000) mark in commissions paid to people just like you who are building a Shaklee business."

It is much fun to look at knowing how many good people are behind the effort to reach this impressive mark since the company was established over 50 years ago. I have the highest respect for Dr. Shaklee who started it all with his magnificent ideas and products, and am so glad that I am a part of the "United States of Shaklee" lead by an energetic and caring young CEO (a family man) Roger Barnett. Shaklee does unite people who actively pursue better life for their family and friends.

That's all for now.

At the Right Time in the Right Place

Thank you, Summer Fest initiators and all the hardest working associates and volunteers of The Center in Palos Park. Speaking of good luck, I had the “best seat in the house” at the Center’s Third Summer Fest, the Go Green section. The festival’s sign was a perfect backdrop for my own Shaklee safe household cleaners' display, celebrating the 50-th anniversary of Basic H.

Just in case if you are wondering what frogs have to do with the celebration (Daiva must have completely flipped :-)), explore some articles that I've linked to in my Mother Nature journal: Of Frogs and Men
.
Why use safe biodegradable household cleaners? The answer might be found in the following story:

Healthy Pancreas

Yesterday, nutritionist Barbara Lagoni in her wonderfully informative talk reminded us about the dangers of damaging pancreas with our improper daily diets. The diabetes sets in when our pancreas are no longer functioning properly.

Why should we be surprised that diabetes "epidemic" is rampant? I think what truly rampant is our complacency when it comes to giving a second thought about what we are actually putting into our mouth, and what results should we expect if we refuse to break our "bad" (I would call them "uninformed")  habits. We give more thought to what type of gasoline we put into our cars than what we put into the only vehicle that caries us all through our lives - our body.

We can blame everyone and everything for our food choices, but the blame game does not restore good health. Learning and changing our food consumption behaviors does.

Herophilus About Health

"When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied."

- Herophilus (335-280 B.C.) 

A Greek anatomist and surgeon, the father of Anatomy,

dissected and wrote about the brain, being the first one to describe its cavities, the cerebral ventricles, which he associated with mental functions.

• The pancreas was first identified by Herophilus. Only a few hundred years later, Ruphos, another Greek anatomist, gave the pancreas its name.

• The Medical News: Health : Pancreas 
• Milestones in Neuroscience Research  

In my  view, only babies are truly helpless. The rest of us have free will and free choices in life, thanks to the marvelous tool called brain. At the end of the day, only one person is responsible for fueling the amazing vehicle that takes one through the journey called LIFE, and that vehicle is the body. Guess who that person in charge is?

How come we give more consideration to what kind of gasoline we put into our cars than how to properly fuel our bodies? Why we get so worked up about someone leaving typos and misspellings in one's writings and speaking with an accent, and care less about what came through our own digestive system on any given day? 

Hence, my question of the day:

How much longer will it take the human kind to fall in love with life deep enough to feel personally responsible for better personal health?

Put Your Best Face - Healthy Face - Forward

The very first time I saw Shaklee skin care and cosmetics display and demonstration at a conference I was very intrigued but intimidated. One has to be a cosmetologist to understand all the products and to correctly use them, I thought. In the past few years, after taking a closer look at the information about the skin care line and trying some products myself, I realized that there is only one thing that truly matters: Shaklee skin care and cosmetics products do not harm your skin, and do not mask the flaws, but, instead, do actually make your skin healthier, and significantly improve its natural appearance.

After the summer when I discovered Enfuselle^® and Minerelles^®  for myself, my friends noticed right away my healthier and more radiant face. I realized then that Shaklee skin care and makeup make a perfect gift. That’s how my mother and my sister both received an entire set of these vitamin-infused “lotions and potions” on their special occasions. Those readers who already use Enfuselle^® and Minerelles^® can, of course,  imagine how fortunate these two women were.

Last Monday, the Dream Team invited a prominent Shaklee leader Deb Villarese to introduce Shaklee skin care at their exciting event in Oak Lawn. I first saw Deb presenting at the conference in Chicago. Award-winning businesswoman is a constant supportive voice at many Shaklee training events and conferences. In her very clear concise presentation she shared the secrets of her successful Shaklee business that in her case specifically was spearheaded simply by her creatively showing Shaklee skin care products to her friends. I was especially impressed that Deb was a participant in the scientific studies and tests done repeatedly by the company. She did not just talk the talk, she walked the walk. Deb did remind us all that with the vast variety of items that Shaklee offers it is realistic to build a successful personal business focusing on just one category of the products, especially if they are patented like Shaklee skincare line is.

The top quality and reliable performance of products based on modern science research, also the exceptional personal business building opportunity make Shaklee distributors proud to share the Shaklee opportunity and Shaklee Difference. If you are a distributor, you know what I am talking about here. If you are just a bystander, I am inviting you to take a closer look at the Shaklee Opportunity. There are over a million distributors in several countries, and you can choose whom to work with, but if you choose me, you will receive a reliable assistant, dependable mentor, and a dedicated friend. Let's put our truly best face forward.

"Don't make a mountain out of a molehill..."

“Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill,” - the voice in my head is so wise and proper (where is it coming from?) It immediately makes me ashamed of being frustrated over little mundane nothings. Few events of the previous weeks once again have helped me to put into perspective such seemingly disastrous nuisances of life like clogged up sink or broken tools.

Recently, one of my many Shaklee mentors survived a horrible accident resulting in a head injury; my friend underwent two life saving surgeries; while in the doctor’s office, my mom lost her conscience and ended up in the emergency room without definite diagnosis. Three people in completely different places and distinct situations, but they all are on my mind and in my heart today. Their ordeal is once again a reminder to me that Life is the most precious “possession” in this world, and the healthy life is a gift not to be disrespected.

Usually I read when I have to wait. Lately, I find it more interesting to observe people and talk to those who have time to talk. In one week, while spending time in the waiting rooms and offices of various medical facilities, I met some wonderful people who are saving lives and helping those who are ill to make their existence more bearable. I met many people who through their professional work and humane attitude give hope to helpless strangers.

You probably noticed yourself that a kind encouraging world, one sincere smile and caring look received from  others grows “wings” in us, making it possible to persevere, to endure, to bounce back.  Be it a surgeon, nurses, hospital staff, ambulance personnel, receptionists, they all are wonderful people just doing their job with dedication thus changing the world for the better. I am sincerely grateful to all of them.

If I want to have TV-watching marathons each day (which I no longer do, and I enjoy the fact that every day now there are things to do, places to go, people to see - the state of mind opposite to depression, I think) nutrion packed Shaklee Stress Relief Complex* (Caplets) will be there when I need it. I took these nutrients occasionally in the past couple of years. It made it easier to cope with the rejection from my previous employer (do not get too excited here, I meant job loss :-) ).

What do nutrients in Shaklee Stress Relief Complex* do to improve the way you feel?

• Promote a calm, relaxed state without causing drowsiness*  

• Allow you to be more alert and able to concentrate during times of stress*  

• Help blunt cortisol, a stress-response hormone that can affect long-term health* 

• Enhance the body’s ability to adapt to everyday stress*
