Shaklee Health Wise
Have you seen the Cinch® Transformation Stories? Contestants from across the country entered to win $10,000 at our 2012 Global Conference in Las Vegas. Congratulations to Edgar Ortiz for winning the grand prize! However, all of the contestants are winners for dropping the extra pounds and becoming healthier!
We’ve also started a new Cinch Transformation Challenge! From now until Oct. 31, you can enter for a chance to win $10,000. Get started here!
Maybe you’re thinking your story could be next, and you believe you can do it.  I bet you are excited!
Then, maybe, reality hits you. You realize it isn’t always fun to drink a Cinch® Meal Shake while your family enjoys pancakes on Saturday morning.  Or, maybe, getting up early to squeeze in some exercise while everyone else sleeps in is tougher than you thought.
And, it’s so tempting to enjoy the birthday cake passed around at the office. You don’t want to be antisocial, after all.
Your commitment to getting healthy isn’t always going to be fun or easy.  It is a choice, and one that you make each day, and with each meal.
The results, however, are worth it if you can see the commitment through!
Entrepreneur and motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
The point is you have to get to the point where you make your new Cinch® lifestyle a HABIT, not a HOBBY.
Below are commitments that you can make over the next 30 days to really follow through on your Cinch transformation:
1. To make a habit stick, try repeating it 16-21 times. Even better, repeat it every day for 30 days.
2. Consistently stick with your choice to lose weight with Cinch.
3. Write down what you eat daily in a journal.
4. Replace two meals a day with Cinch.
5. Commit to walking a mile a day, on average.
So, what could you get out of all of this? How about feeling better, being healthier, saving money, having boundless amounts of energy, and a slimmer waistline!
Develop good habits these next 30 days. They will be the foundation for your personal, long-term healthy transformation.
Here’s to good habits!

BOOST YOUR BODY'S INTERFERON WITH NATURAL NUTRIFERON

Immune System Builder

We are the ONLY company in the WORLD with this product and it gives the body what it needs to heal itself!  EVERYONE SHOULD BE ON IT!!  SEE BELOW!!   
 -Testimonial from Shawn-
-Shawn –
Just wanted to share my most recent testimonial. I felt that I had already been so blessed since I started using Shaklee’s Essential Foundation. My carpal tunnel has been pain and symptom free since I started on the products in Dec of 2004.
Little did I know how truly blessed I am and that I would be given such a wonderful gift once again. I started on the Nutriferon in October of 2005. I was just basically taking it to rebuild my immune system, not realizing what it was actually doing for me.
I had been taking Synthroid for my thyroid for 20 years. A small tablet once a day that I had resigned myself to the fact that I would be taking it for the rest of my life. In January of this year I started having trouble with my Synthroid dosage and kept having to go into the clinic for blood draws.
Each time that I went in, my Synthroid dosage was dropped. I would take the new dose for about 3 weeks and then the trouble would start again. The doctor, nurses and lab techs were baffled. None of them could figure out what was going on. I stopped taking my Synthroid on Feb 15th because I felt it was making me sick.
  I started feeling better almost immediately after stopping the meds. I went for another blood draw on Feb 20th, got my results on Feb 24th. My thyroid is at at normal range and I was told that I no longer needed to take my Synthroid. I have been ecstatic ever since. Who would have ever guessed that I would be prescription-free after 20 years. My doctor and the nursing staff want more info on the Nutriferon and the lab tech is one of our pilot program evaluators!!  Thank you Shaklee, thank you so very much!!

Getting healthy...One step at a time
Posted by Dr. Jamie McManus on Sep 11, 2012 in Natural Nutrition

As a physician, I have always been more focused on the prevention of disease rather than just waiting until treatment is necessary. Over the past 30 years or so, we have learned so much about what we need to do to prevent the most devastating, chronic diseases facing our society today. Our diets and our lifestyles have become less healthy and less active—with the result being a continuing increase in the prevalence of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer in the past 10 years. So I am here to provide you with the relevant information you need to get inspired into action! No matter whether you are healthy or fighting health challenges, today is the day to learn how to support your health and put those changes into action! Changes you make today will impact your health. You are more in control than you may know. There are thousands of studies that support the idea that weight management, good nutrition, supplementation, and an active lifestyle will positively impact your health.
I encourage you to watch this video to learn more.

The Hidden Dangers of Belly Fat

The Hidden Dangers of Belly Fat

	Having a wide girth, a beer belly, or an apple-shaped figure may mean you have large amounts of deep-hidden belly fat around your internal organs. This fat, also known as visceral fat, may in fact be the most dangerous fat you can have. It has been linked to high cholesterol, high insulin, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and other health problems. The more belly fat you have, the higher your risk is for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, or for having a stroke.
There's also new research indicating that having an apple-shaped figure may actually be more deadly. A new study appearing in the Nov. 12 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine reported some very disturbing news. Researchers followed about 360,000 Europeans who participated in one of the largest and longest health studies in the world. They found that people with the most belly fat had about double the risk of dying prematurely compared with people with the least amount of belly fat. Men and women with the largest waist circumference (more than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) had roughly double the risk of premature death as men and women with the smallest waist circumference (less than 34 inches for men and 28 for women). And with every 2-inch increase in waist circumference, there was an associated increase in mortality—17% in men and 13% in women. What makes belly fat so dangerous? Well, it seems to be the type of fat that goes straight to the liver to be metabolized into cholesterol. LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood and contributes to the development of arterial plaque and narrowing of the arteries. Visceral fat also produces more inflammation in the body than fat found in other areas of the body. And inflammation is thought to play a key role in heart disease and a host of other chronic diseases. New research also suggests that the body's production of adiponectin, a hormone secreted by fat cells, decreases as we gain belly fat. This reduction in adiponectin production has been found to promote insulin resistance, a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and a potential precursor to type-2 diabetes. And finally, studies have shown that belly fat cells produce more fibrinogen and plasminogen, two chemicals in the body that promote blood clotting. Visceral fat also produces more angiotensin, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. Here again lies the connection between too much belly fat and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. So if you or someone you know is carrying excess weight around the abdomen, losing that belly fat is one of the most important things they can do to stay healthy for life.

I have personally lost several of inches of belly fat the by doing using the Cinch Inch Loss Plan.
It is absolutely an amazing and healthful way to burn fat and hold on to muscle so your metabolism stays strong (preventing yo-yo dieting). Learn more at my web site: www.healthysteps.myshaklee.com

Vitamin D deficiency common in critically ill children

Vitamin D news

Study: D deficiency common in critically ill children

06 August 2012

Two studies published online in Pediatrics found that vitamin D deficiency is associated with more severe, longer lasting illness in children admitted to the hospital.

Dr Dayre McNally, MD, PhD, of the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, and colleagues used data from 2005 to 2008 from 6 different pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in Canada.

The researchers analyzed data from 326 critically ill children up to the age of 17. They found that 69% of patients were vitamin D deficient. Deficiency was associated with increased length of stay in the PICU (P=.03) and increased severity of illness (P=.005).

The second study conducted by Dr Kate Madden, MD, of Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School, and colleagues examined 511 critically ill patients (median age 5.3 years) admitted to the PICU from November 2009 to November 2010.

The researchers found that 40.1% of patients were vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL). After adjusting for confounding variables, deficiency was associated with increased illness severity on the day of admission (P < .0001).

Both studies support similar findings in research with critically ill adults.

McNally calls for further research to determine whether supplementation will improve critically ill children’s outcome, while Madden concludes,

“Given the roles of vitamin D in bone development and immunity, we recommend screening of those critically ill children with risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and implementation of effective repletion strategies.”

Prevention is the best key. The most comprehensive children's chewable vitamin on the market is called Shaklee INCREDIVITES. Packed with 600 IU of vitamin D3 and 23 essential nutrients for healthy development, they truly are incredible! To date, they are the only supplement to contain lactoferrin which is found in breast milk and has been shown to support healthy immune systems in kids.

They are available at: http://www.healthysteps.myshaklee.com

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

In a side-by-side comparison Shaklee's whole food organic multivitamin contained quite a bit more nutrients than synthetic Centrum and One a Day Maximum
10xs more Biotin  (Biotin is known for it's energy benefits & promoting healthy hair, skin and nails)

2 xs more Vitamin E (Supports immune function, cellular health, heart, lung and colon health)

3 xs more Vitamin K (Supports bone metabolism and blood coagulation)                                      

2 xs more Magnesium (Helps retain normal blood pressure and heartbeat, and supports muscle)

6 xs more Boron  (Aids in the metabolism of crucial minerals involved in bone development)

NEVER any artificial, flavors, sweeteners, colors, preservatives, binders or fillers

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.
