NATURAL VITAMINS: WHY SHAKLEE MULTIVITAMINS ARE BETTER THAN SYNTHETIC VITAMINS

Synthetic vitamins are not guaranteed
to break down like Shaklee's all natural vitamins.
This x-ray shows vitamins on
their way out of the system completely
 in tact. Talk about a WASTE of money.
(Yes, pun intended!)
Many health experts recommend ALL ADULTS TAKE A MULTIVITAMIN,
but WHICH ONES SHOULD YOU TAKE?

If your waking up without a spring in your step, or feeling that "afternoon sluggish feeling", try the simple step of taking a Shaklee Multivitamin and B-Complex.~Guaranteed to make you look and feel better!

The more you know about a multivitamin, the more you will want to take one by a company named Shaklee. Shaklee knows their science when it comes to making the world's best Multivitamin. Dr. Shaklee pioneered the world's first multivitamin back in 1915! He made it all natural, from plants back then and it is still made that way today.

Once you try Shaklee's B-complex, you will have noticeably increased energy, more patience, a better ability to cope with stress. Guaranteed.

You may wonder, "What makes Shaklee so special, can't I just take vitamins from the store"

Quite simply put...NO. There is a difference between synthetic vitamins and whole food vitamins and you will feel it. I don't know of any other company that is so confident about their vitamin formulation and absorb-ability, that they just KNOW you will feel better... or your money back! How's that for a guarantee? See why below:

Government Surveys show people are not getting the nutrients they need each day 

People are deficient in vitamins, minerals, trace micronutrients and live plant enzymes due to:
1. Poor food choices during a rushed lifestyle.
2. Over-farmed land yielding lower nutrients in crops.
3. Vitamins and minerals are lost each day after picking fruits and vegetables. This includes prep and transport time on the truck, and days on store shelves before they get into your home.
4. Cooking vegetables decreases nutrient content.

Did You Know Not All Vitamins are Created Equal?

1.  A good quality vitamin is made from whole foods and is more beneficial than a synthetic vitamin because it contains  live enzymes from the plants as well as micro nutrients not found in synthetic vitamins.
2.  Most vitamins in stores are synthetic. A good way to test yours is look at the Vitamin E, if it says "as dl-alpha-tocopheryl" in the ingredients list it is SYNTHETIC.
3.  Some vitamins do not get absorbed because they contain synthetic binders and fillers. They actually go in one end and out the other. Talk about a waste of money.
4. A good way to test yours is to drop it in a glass of water. If it completely dissolves within 20 minutes, it is able to break down to be absorbed in your body. (referred to as the pharmaceutical dissolution test)

Shaklee has a multivitamin supported by seven clinical studies showing it's effectiveness to:
            1. Promote energy, health and vitality.
            2. Support long-term heart, colon, and eye health.
            3. Boost immunity and produce and maintain healthy new cells.
            4. Provide protection against free radical damage to cells.
            5. Provide 23 vitamins and critical minerals as well as 800 IU of vitamin D3 for immunity.

This month you can save $14.00 off Retail price if you order Shaklee's Multivitamin and B-Complex together. Only $38.55 for a two month supply! (Retail $52.60) 
This is a label from a synthetic vitamin-Centrum

Shaklee's Cinch Weight Loss Really Works!

Here is another testimonial of how to lose fat and inches with Cinch

I’m 34 years old and, for the past 20 years, I’ve been trying to lose weight—yes, this means since I was 14 years old. Sad but true. I’ve always heard people say I was “big boned” because of my height (5-foot-11), but really my bones aren’t big; I have always just been overweight. I shouldn’t say “always” because the fact of the matter is I’ve been a very successful yo-yo dieter. I could lose 10 pounds or even 60 pounds with national programs, over-the-counter programs, and fad diets, but each time I lost the weight I’d gain it back and then some. I never understood that I was losing weight the unhealthy way by losing my muscle, which I need to burn calories and have a healthy metabolism.
When I started as a consultant for the Shaklee Corporation in July 2011 and saw pictures of myself with Roger Barnett, I was ashamed. I had really let myself go. I needed to make a real change in my life. Everything happens for a reason, and part of what I’m doing now is to introduce women in the blogosphere to the Cinch® product line. Except how could I do this if I was not having success with the program—or even using the program—and if I could not tell my peers firsthand about the product line?
In September 2011 I began using Cinch on my own to see if I could really lose inches and weight. I followed the program, I ate healthier, I worked out for the first time ever, and over the course of 10 months I’ve had tremendous success. I’m healthier than I’ve ever been in my life, and this time I’ve done it the right way with the number one natural nutritional company in the U.S.! I’m down 40 pounds and 29 inches* and the hills that used to cause me to stop and breathe deeply I can now run up—maybe even twice! I feel better, and my BMI is now in the normal range. My complete transformation story can be found here.
Like I said, everything happens for a reason. Years ago when I watched Roger and Sloan tell the story about their son having asthma on The Oprah Winfrey Show, it was meant to be. I switched my household to green and safe cleaners and never looked back. I had a true Get Clean® testimonial to give, and thus my Shaklee business took off. I took a different career path that led me to full-time blogging, social media consulting, and public speaking, and I authored a children’s book. But today, I’m back with Shaklee in a different capacity and healthier than I’ve ever been. I do not believe it is a coincidence.
In a clinical study of the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan, participants on average lost 15.4 pounds and 6.6 inches over 12 weeks.  Sommer is a Shaklee Distributor.

2012 Health Breakthroughs That Could Change Your Life

News From The World Of Medicine

A computer to diagnose and treat cancer? This incredible invention and more are in the works: We rounded up the latest medical advances and emerging breakthroughs in science and technology.

1. Japan: Clever Use of Bad Breath
July/August 2012 — Nippon Dental University researchers found that dental pulp—soft tissue inside teeth that’s removed during root canals—has up to 80 times as many stem cells as previously thought. Even better, hydrogen sulfide, the chemical that causes the rotten-egg smell in bad breath, helps them develop into liver stem cells. Scientists hope that extracted wisdom teeth (or baby teeth saved from childhood) might be used to heal livers damaged from cirrhosis and the hepatitis C virus.

2. United States: IBM’s Watson to Treat Cancer
July/August 2012 —The Watson computer that famously won on Jeopardy last year will work with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to diagnose and treat cancer. Watson is ingesting massive amounts of information from textbooks, articles, and decades of patient cases. Once the computer finishes training, doctors can ask it a question in plain English and get a quick, relevant answer (Watson can scan one million books in less than three seconds). Doctors will test the system for lung, breast, and prostate cancers by the end of this year.

3. Germany: Help for Ringing Ears
July/August 2012 —A new device might help fix tinnitus by treating the brain. In people with tinnitus, brain cells fire in bizarrely hyperactive rhythms, fooling the mind into thinking it hears a loud noise. The iPod-sized device has the user listen to a sequence of quiet tones to stop abnormal rhythms; it reduced tinnitus in 75 percent of patients in early tests. Its developer, Adaptive Neuromodulation, is finding partners to launch it here.

4. Australia: Eyeglasses to Prevent Drowsy Driving
June 2012 —New driving glasses contain sensors embedded in the frame to measure how often eyelids blink and how much they droop between blinks. Sensors translate this into a “drowsiness score” shown on the dashboard and deliver an auditory warning when scores exceed safe limits. Designed for commercial drivers, the glasses may be available for regular drivers within the next two years.

5. Singapore: A “Crab Robot” for Stomach Cancer
June 2012 —Researchers have developed a robotic system to remove tumors quickly and without scarring. Rather than cut through the abdomen, it uses a camera mounted on a flexible tube to guide instruments through the mouth and to the surgical site. The robot’s “crab legs” have a pincer to grab cancerous tissue and a hook to slice it off. The idea was born during a seafood dinner, when a surgeon pointed out that crabs, with strong yet efficient pincers, would make excellent stand-ins for surgeons. In operations on five test patients, surgeries that typically took up to eight hours were performed in an average of just 18 minutes.

6. Canada: Germ-and-Bedbug Room Bomb
June 2012 —Researchers on the Queen’s University campus hope to prevent hospital infections with a “room bomb” spray that combines ozone and hydrogen peroxide vapor to kill bacteria, sterilizing a room in about an hour. Researchers are confident the spray also destroys viruses, mold, and even bedbugs. A filtering process removes the chemicals from the air, leaving it safe to breathe. The spray could be used on cruise ships and in bedbug-infested hotels.

7. United States: A Blood Sugar Tattoo
May 2012 — Diabetics, put away the bandages: A new technique for checking blood sugar could make finger pricks a thing of the past. Chemists from Northeastern University have developed a method for injecting tiny fluorescent sensors under the skin that detect glucose in the blood. Take a picture of the freckle-size temporary tattoo with a special attachment that fits over your smart phone’s camera lens, and a computer program then analyzes the photo and reports your blood sugar number. The tattoo method is still under­going tests; it could be available in three years.

8. United Kingdom: Smart Pills
May 2012 — By the end of the year, a British pharmacy will begin embedding tiny sensors into some drug tablets to help doctors keep tabs on patients’ medication habits. The “smart pills,” developed by U.S. company Proteus Biomedical, send the name of the drug and the time you took it to a patch worn on the body that relays that data, along with information like pulse and sleep patterns, to a smart phone.

9. Denmark: Sponges for Soldiers
May 2012 — A specially coated flexible sponge could solve a deadly problem for soldiers wounded on the battlefield: uncontrolled bleeding. Researchers at MIT sprayed a type of sponge commonly used in hospitals with a combination of chemicals and clotting proteins naturally found in blood. In tests conducted by Ferrosan Medical Devices in Denmark, the small sponges completely stopped bleeding in animals within 60 seconds. Researchers hope to have the devices approved for use within a few years.

Poisonous Detergent Pods vs. Non-toxic Cleaning


I am so appreciative there are safer choices out there, such as Get Clean Non-toxic laundry liquid!

"Warning! Don’t Eat The Poisonous Detergent Pods!" By Judy Molland

"Have you seen those new detergent pods?
They are small, brightly colored, and children have been eating them because  of their bite-size shape, and candy-like colors. Very appealing to kids.
As a result, childhood poisonings from these new detergent packets have  soared in recent weeks, with the total climbing to more than 1,200 this week  from about 200 in late May.
The detergent packets were introduced by various companies over the winter as  a convenience that can be easily dropped into a washing machine. This is  puzzling to me. Do you find it especially difficult to pour liquid in a cup, and  then into your washing machine?
The New York Times reports that health authorities have been  concerned since late March, when poison control centers around the country noted  a small number of reports from parents whose children had opened and swallowed  the brightly colored laundry detergent products.
Poison control centers first starting putting out  alerts about two to three months ago, not long after the products were  introduced in the United States. By late May, the number of reported cases had  reached 200 to 250 nationwide, prompting widespread news media attention and an  announcement from Tide, which makes one of the most popular forms of the  products, that the company would change its packaging to make the packets more  difficult for children to tamper with.
Still, poison control centers say they continue  to see more and more cases. This week, the California Poison Control System  announced that at least nine small children in that state were taken to  emergency rooms between Saturday and Tuesday after exposure to the packets,  bringing the state’s total number of cases to at least 91. Six of the latest  cases in California involved Tide Pods. Two were linked to Purex Ultra Packs,  and one involved All Mighty Paks.
So far this year, there have been at least 1,210 cases reported to poison control centers in  the U.S. Thankfully, no child has died, but at least 11 children have been  placed on ventilators, and 10 have been intubated.
And the solution?
WE think it might be time to turn to laundry & cleaning products that aren't poisonous at all!
Our family has been using non-toxic, plant-based, concentrated, & biodegradable cleaners for almost 50 years so we may be a little biased here indeed, but we've had more than 1 grandchild, and more than 1 pet, ingest a Shaklee cleaning product over the years. And you know what? We've never had to call 911 or worry at all. And our laundry is just as clean as can be too!
Our Shaklee journey started with 1 little Shaklee "Basic H" bottle, is it time for your story?
