    Proof is in the Pudding

    For years, someone was giving me a very hard time about my association with Shaklee. Recently, a friend of that particular friend ordered some Shaklee products (Vita-Lea, Cholesterol Reduction Complex) and declared a month later: “I do not remember when was it when I felt better than now!” (diabetic, over the hill). Thus, to paraphrase the old saying, the proof is in the Shaklee bottles and boxes. Of course, if you make a pudding with some of the Shaklee meal shakes, you can be sure that proof will be in the pudding.

    Shaklee Vita-Lea + Iron Passed Tests with Flying Colors

    The ConsumerLab.com is an independent testing lab (1999-2011).  This year, the lab has  reviewed 38 multivitamin supplements, one of which was Shaklee Vita-Lea® with Iron.  Shaklee Vita-Lea passed the tests through which ConsumerLab.com put the product, unlike 13 competitor products which were also tested. 
    The lab has found no recalls and warnings for Shaklee products.
    On a personal note, an acquaint has ordered this product once again this month. He claims he feels much better after taking it. One does not need to convince me. I tried and tested it on myself and my family. Shaklee designed it not just to make you feel better, but to get you healthier. There are scientific reasons for us feeling better after consuming Shaklee products. 
    This product is a wonderful first choice for those on a tight budget. Taking a FIRST STEP toward improving one's health will save much more than money in a long run. 
    Take a look at more Shaklee products with Vita-Lea. Shaklee has something for everyone.

    Scour Off™ Heavy Duty Paste


    MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:

    There was another WOW! moment again. 
    Usually, the Get Clean Scour Off™ Heavy Duty Paste is being used for more mundane tasks in our household (sinks, pots, tub, etc.) Today, however, I so easily removed tarnish from the silver-plated utensils without any damage to the thin silver layer. What an easy way to turn charcoal-black into shiny shimmer of silver! And no toxic fumes to breathe in. The scent is actually very pleasant and harmless. Job is well done, Shaklee.

    January - Thyroid Awareness Month

    Hypothyroidism results from an underactive thyroid gland producing too little thyroid hormone. The body's metabolism slows, consumes less oxygen and produces less body heat. Symptoms can include weight gain, hair loss, irritability, muscle cramps, memory loss, and old temperature intolerance. Treatment: thyroid hormone replacement medications. - www.aace.com

    The story is real, although the name has been changed for evident reasons. I’ll call the woman Ann. She could be your sister, mom, daughter, neighbor, grandmother, coworker, wife, or just a woman passing you by, the one who does not respond to your smile.

    Ann did look good for her middle age, yet she wished that she was petite and slim. "No such luck all her life", she said. Fasting diets helped her to temporarily shed some pounds, yet things were back to  “big-boned normal” once the “will power” was no longer there. Coworkers were complimenting her on her healthy looking skin, overall good looks, and did not suspect at all that she felt like “dying, rotting inside”. Ann could hardly function during the day. Yet waking up in the morning was even worse. In her words, it was a torture to feel so totally fatigued after 6, 7, or even 8 hours of sleep. The mysterious fatigue was  a frightening constant  companion. However, doctors did not find anything peculiar and abnormal. On the outside, Ann looked like a healthy normal person.

    Once, reading some health related articles, Ann came across a story that bore close resemblance to her own ordeal. Hypothyroidism was the condition that was discussed in the piece. That was a trail for Ann to follow in her search for solutions to her own scary health problem that lead to depression, loneliness, and hopelessness. 

    Three times doctors refused Ann to conduct a blood test, and three times Ann did not give up. The last doctor looked at her from a shooting distance again and sad: “No, you do not have Thyroid problems, your neck looks normal.” Risking to appear too persistent and insistent, the patient asked the doctor one more time to prescribe the blood test if just to discount the probability that malfunctioning Thyroid is the cause of the indescribable debilitating fatigue.

    A few days after the test wich took just minutes, Ann's phone rang, and the doctor at the other end mumbled: “Yes, it appears that you have low functioning Thyroid gland. I'll have to prescribe you medicines.”

    What if Ann would have not been looking for answers? Here is just one of many possible grim outcome for people who go through life with undiagnosed Hypothyroidism. I am quoting a thorough resource book Nutrition Almanac, by Nutrition Search, Inc.:

    “A heart that is weakened or damaged by diseases such as rheumatic fever, heart attack, hypothyroidism, arteriosclerosis, or beriberi is unable to properly pump the blood through the body. This inefficient circulation which leads to congestion of many organs with blood and other tissue fluids is congestive heart failure.

    Early symptoms of congestive heart failure are abnormal fatigue and shortness of breath following work or exercise. Swelling, particularly in the ankles and feet, is further symptom. Congestion of the abdominal organs causes nausea, lack of appetite, and gas. Fluid in the lungs impairs breathing and in some causes a persistent cough.
    (…)
    The diet should be divided into frequent small meals of easily digested foods. Calories, fats, gas-forming foods, and sodium (salt) are restricted. The diet should be adequate in potassium and thiamine. Nutrients that may be beneficial in treatment of congestive heart failure are Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin E, Potassium, Low fat, Low sodium.”  

    Shaklee Vita-Lea has all of these and more.

    Perhaps Ann could have discovered earlier what was wrong with her health, if she would have learned about proper personal health care while in high school (how about three Rs and an H?). Adequate and timely science information is important to people like Ann. It should take precedence over being force-fed information about the healthy foods later in  life.  Young people would benefit greatly from being taught how to take responsibility for the health of their own body, like Ann did. Then, perhaps,  healthier nutrition choices would come more naturally even later in one's life. Really, who needs a congestive heart failure!

    Final note: The Thyroid condition test is not overly expensive, and Americans without insurance might expect a hefty discount for the test, if they are down on their luck and are out of work.
    •  "According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), and estimated 27 million Americans are experiencing a thyroid disorder, with more than half of those undiagnosed." - David Wight, The Costco Connection, January 11 (article based on the information in www.aace.com).

          Shaklee Meetings

          After the meeting my friend is asking me: “I do not get it. What is the benefit for these people to have you attending their meetings if you are not in their group?” We are discussing the Shaklee meeting Turning Green to Gold that was put together by the group of Shaklee leaders Coletta and Leonard Haskin. “That is it,” – I say. “There is no direct gain to these leaders to have me and my friends as guests, and yet they open their doors and their hearts to me and my friends. They always make me feel welcome at their events.” My friend finds it hard to believe.

          For some people the concept of openness and sharing is difficult to comprehend. However, that is exactly what Shaklee leadership and Shaklee business concepts are all about. That is why Shaklee is a different kind of company. There is no room for animosity, jealousy, manipulation, and other petty ugly things that most people do come across in their lifetime.  You climb your own ladder toward success, while helping and inspiring others to do the same.  
          I have directly experienced much generosity from local and national Shaklee leaders by way of them sharing Dr. Shaklee’s philosophy, company’s message and their inspiring positive energy. I am in the group of someone who is far away from where I live. I have never even met them. However, in the past few years, I learned much from the local leaders who open their meetings to all to whom their message is important.  These leaders keep inspiring me with their professional business conduct and their friendly approach to everyone they meet. They are excellent  teachers. They do teach by example.
          I am listening to the meeting hostess, Coletta Haskin, then to the guest speaker Jaime Hosteler and can’t help but admire these people. Coletta is a registered nurse. Her husband Leonard is an engineer. Jamie is a farmer. They all care much for their families. They have much in common. One important idea unites them all - healthy and happy environment for their families is their priority. In Coletta’s words their “mission is to teach and help other people to make thoughtful and informed choices about personal wellness.” One could not describe Shaklee mission better. I am glad that I have much in common with these leaders.

          “Every meeting is about the same thing,” – my friend says. And yet, every time I do learn new things, hear new stories and wonderful testimonials about how Shaklee products help to better people’s lives. This time I have learned things that I did not know about the atrociously harmful effects on our health of chlorine and other household cleaners. I heard new stories about how Shaklee business model has helped some hardship-stricken families to get back on their feet. It is so wonderful and inspiring to hear how Shaklee is making a positive impact in so many lives. At some point the speakers asked the audience to raise their hands if they have their own Shaklee story. All but some new attendees had raised their hands. I also have a story. This past Easter morning, as if out of the blue, my mother had said to me: “I think if not for Shaklee, I would no longer be here….”

          Attending such meetings, I am constantly learning, so I could help people to understand the value of Shaklee products better, so I would be a better teacher and business coach. This time, the theme of the meeting is very important to all of us – the ways to shelter our families from toxic environment by the use of non-toxic yet very efficient household products. The featured item tonight is Shaklee Basic H2 (If I remember correctly, H stands for “household.”) The product is celebrating its fiftieth birthday. Shaklee distributors are fun loving people. One always can expect much giggling and laughter at their events. We can’t keep our faces straight when we stand up and sing “happy birthday, Basic H." Truly, which other product can rival the natural highly concentrated cleaner that Dr. Forrest Shaklee came up with fifty years ago? We all smile when the presenter says “Shaklee was green before the green was green.”

          It is not surprising to me to occasionally hear the phrase Shaklee Family. I noticed, that this business attracts caring, hopeful people to whom glass is always full, who already have, or at least are seeking a positive outlook on life, and who feel fulfilled when they get a chance to help out people either by pointing them to the right products, or by coaching and teaching them to successfully run their own Shaklee business. Say what you want, Shaklee independent distributors are a friendly bunch of people.

          You are never alone in the Shaklee business of your own. Shaklee meetings take place all across the country.  This is how Star Distributors and Gold Ambassadors get to learn by example how to eventually run and conduct their own group meetings. And besides, one can always expect an open and honest discussion and response from Shaklee distributors. They do not lure you into their “net” before you know what products they offer, they show you the entire process of starting and running your business. If you have never heard about Shaklee business opportunity  before, the hardest thing for you, perhaps, would be to trust and believe that it is possible to earn money by being generous, open, and helpful to people, without luring people into some kind of “scheme.” Honest work does bring good results in this business.

          Dear readers, I encourage you to explore the business opportunity and to try some of Shaklee products, if you could use some positive energy and positive change in your life now. I am learning from the best, so you could count on me to help you according to the same high business conduct standards that Shaklee promotes and demonstrates for many years now.  If you have never heard about Shaklee business opportunity before reading this, I hope that  you will choose me as your business coach and associate. If you are in a different Shaklee business group alreaday, I hope you will benefit from the positive testimonials and the positive messages that I am attempting to convey in this journal. This is my way to give at least a little bit of positive energy back to those Shaklee leaders who were, are and will be helping me out without asking for anything in return.

          As for Mr. and Mrs. Haskin, I do so hope that they will keep their  group meeting going the first Monday of next month. All invited guests would yet again have a perfect opportunity to learn about the Shaklee difference.  Rain or snow (yes, it will snow today, it could snow in May too...), I will be there to learn from the best of the best, and, once again, to catch that bug of enthusiasm and excitement about everything that Shaklee has to offer. I hope you will choose to attend future Shaklee meetings too. I hope that you will drop me a note with your questions and inquiries regarding Shaklee products and business opportunity. Remember, “Shaklee was green before the green was green…”

          Credibility: Look Who is Talking.

          A few days ago I listened to a prominent personality giving some health related advice. After berating everyone and anyone who believes in the value of vitamins, and putting down doctors who see value in proper nutrition and supplements to our health, he continued giving some medical suggestions to those "in the dark." The conversation went something like this:

          Q: But what to do if my doctor prescribed vitamins to me claiming that I need good nutrients for prenatal care?
          A: There is no malnourishment in this country. Just use decent diet. I am not against or for vitamins. I look at science research data that most of you are not looking at. I read scientific journals that most people would not read.  I believe in science based medicine. If you see piles of vitamins in the doctor's office, walk out of there.

          Next person brought up the issue with another condition. She claimed that she is in the medical field and that she did a thorough research and discovered that research scientists in several countries found some evidence that certain vitamins and nutrients do improve the condition.
          To this the MD. responded like this: "I've seen it. I don't believe it." 
          That's it. Case closed. Or is it?

          I found this story amusing, disturbing, strange and enlightening, all at the same time. As always, I was left with more questions than answers. For example:

          1. Should not we trust any scientists and researchers who conduct research abroad, if we choose just to "look" but not to thoroughly review and examine their research?

          2. Is the argument "I've seen it. I don't believe it" scientific and thorough enough to pass for a credible medical advise?

          3. Why some critics of those who do conduct research, produce, sell and consume vitamins and natural nutrients in the form of herbs are always so harsh (I am tempted to say here "narrow-minded" but I will not say it :-) )? What forces drive them to wage an all out war on nutrition and supplement industry? Who are they representing, what are their motives?

          4. Why some doctors suggest taking vitamins, and others frown at the entire idea of vitamins and herbal supplements having any positive impact on our health and wellness?
          I am taking NutriFeron®  for five years now. One could say  that after initially hearing about it, I could have experienced a so called placebo effect, and that's why I have not had any kind of flu for five years (I used to get sick every winter and at times even in spring since I was a kid.) Now, I take NutriFeron® without even giving it a second thought. It became a habit, a part of my daily routine. Could be that my continued good health is due to "placebo effect"? Or perhaps it is because of the medical scientist Dr. Kojima who spent many ears discovering the solution to boosting our immunity the natural way. Thanks to Dr. Kojima, there was no panic in our home neither when the bird flu, or swine flu, or any other kind of flu hit the population for the past five years. Specifically because I do understand importance and value of thorough scientific research, I am personally very grateful to Dr. Kojima for his lifetime's work and the extraordinary results of his scientific research.

          Curious as I am, I looked at the credentials of the celebrity dispersing medical advise that morning as I described above. I am yet to find one research paper, or a book written by this person. I will abstain here from any more comments about his medical expertise, but to me personally, he is not a credible source of information. Even if spoken from a very prominent mouth, the argument about foreign scientists' research "I've seen it. I don't believe it" does not carry much weight as a credible scientific medical advise.

          Listening to that program once again reminded me that we have to be very careful making decisions based on the "surface" information that keeps bombarding us every day from multiple directions. In my view, it is very important to take time to dig deeper, compare and contrast sources and make our own decisions based on trustworthy sources. It also helps to keep our minds open and apply logic and common sense when it comes to choosing the ways we keep ourselves and our families well.

          I would like to hear your opinions and ideas regarding the issue of credibility of information.
