"Cinched"

“I'm still just 10lbs lighter - target total is 15lbs - then this weekend I re-discovered my journal with the original measurements. I took these last Fall just before starting on CINCH, and I’m thrilled to report – 4” gone from my waist, 3” from the hips, add that to 2 other measurements and the total shrinkage 11.5” – I’m sooooo happy” Judy Loretan, Banff

Alfalfa & Hip Pain

"I personally have experienced chronic "hip" pain for the last 6-8 years (probably due to arthritis which runs in my family). This caused me such pain it made it impossible to sleep through the night. I'm elated to say that my hip pain disappeared after one month on the Shaklee products. This has been a real blessing because it was something I figured I would have to live with for the rest of my life. I was wrong! "(Month 2 we added Alfalfa)

Asthma,Allergies,Migraines

"Our most amazing personal story has been Rob's.
Rob has had asthma since he was 2 years old. He's been on many different medications since then and has been taking two different asthma inhalers 3 to 4 times a day for over two decades. Rob also suffers from headaches, migraines & allergies such as cats, dogs, hay fever, dust, nuts, and much much more!
After starting with Shaklee Essential Foundation his need for his asthma inhalers drastically reduced. He started to go DAYS without taking a puff. He was out in the cold, removed snow, visited friends with animals ALL WITHOUT NEEDING HIS MEDICATION! I can't remember the last time I saw him suffer from a headache or take an Advil (which he used to pop like candy)! After a few months, we added Alfalfa, Immune Building Complex & Optiflora) (More recently the Air Source)
THE RECORD SO FAR IS 33 DAYS WITHOUT MEDICATION!!!
We truly believe there is nothing out there that compares to Shaklee. We've taken other supplements for years and NEVER GOT ANYWHERE NEAR THESE KIND OF RESULTS! I'm convinced the Shaklee bio-availability and superior quality is what makes the big difference."

Energy & sleep with the Essential Foundations

"In our case, Vic, myself and Rob felt a difference in our energy level within the first week or two! Since we work from my home, Vic would be over everyday and by 1:00 p.m. he would be totally exhausted. He rarely had a good night's sleep and always needed an afternoon nap. I personally would fall asleep in front of the T.V. (rarely got through a movie) but now we all have great energy it's amazing and we're all sleeping the night through. All with the Essential Foundations - (Soy Protein & the Basics.) "

Eye Problems & Carotomax (Beta Carotene)

Eye Problem & Carotomax( Beta Carotene in Canada)
"My family is my toughest customer. For the past 16 years we try to explainwhat we do as matter of fact and go on. Recently my mom began having significant eye problems. She is "sure" it was due to a medication, so she stopped the medication. Alas, she was ruined forever. At 68 she had better eyesight than me until recently and now she said she just could not see. Of course I suggested an eye exam, and she refused. After the third week of complaints I handed her Carotomax (Beta Carotene,Canada)and told her to take 2 per day. Two weeks went by without a word. Then in the middle of a conversation, totally random and not in any context she threw in the statement, I don't know what was in those pills but they really work. I can really see again. It took nails to dig it out of her. She only took one per day, but the Carotomax (Beta Carotene,Canada)worked its wonders and she can see. Of course she says she eats carrots like crazy-which means that she eats 1 carrot every 3rd or 4th day, and her digestion is horrible so who knows what she absorbs. I love smiling. I love these products, but you know she is telling all the seniors in her apartment complex how wonderful this stuff is. Now she is teachable about that one product."

H Pylori story

Helicobacter pylori ( H.Pylori)

“In mid-October last year, after eating a particularly spicy soup, I developed what seemed to be ‘heartburn This heartburn feeling became so severe I was afraid to eat anything. As the weeks went on, the heartburn feeling moved it’s way down into my stomach and now became excruciating, with the pain lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. During these ‘attacks’ I would be incapacitated and just have to lie down . . I still was leary of eating, and lost 25 pounds. Thank goodness I could at least handle the Shaklee protein and my supplements, to give me some nutrients.

After many weeks and many tests from my doctor, a 70% accurate blood test indicated I likely had Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) , a bacteria that attaches to the inside lining of your stomach. A breath test, which is 95% accurate, confirmed I had H. Pylori. I was to go on a program of two different antibiotics and a drug for acid reflux. My doctor told me that this regime works about 70% of the time, but there was a good chance it could come back again.

I prefer the non-drug route if I can, so I increased my intake of the Shaklee Garlic tabs, as I knew they worked as a natural antibiotic. Gradually, the pain seemed to go lower, and into the bowel area.

Eventually (now mid Jan), I called Dr Brouse in Portland Oregan, who commented that it had probably been ‘pushed’ down into the bowel causing the pain there. Dr Brouse appeared to know what to do immediately, and recommended that I start the following regime of Shaklee supplements:-
Garlic at least 3tabs 3x daily
CorEnergy 1 tab 3 x daily
Zinc 1 tab 3 x daily
Optiflora 1 pearl+ powder 3 x daily
After the first day, I had no more pain, and over the following 2 weeks, I had only 2 mild ‘attacks’
After 2 weeks I was told to add the strongest Pepto Bismol 3 x daily for a week ( I took the tablets as the liqud contains saccharin)
Since then, I’ve had no more problems, only I find that if I take Optiflora twice a day with a small amount of the powder, I feel much better overall” Mary-Ann Kennedy White Rock .BC

Optiflora on Safari

Just back from one months' fascinating safari in Africa, with some beautiful photographs, Audrey Frey, of Banff is a firm believer in the benefits of Optiflora. While the majority of her companions suffered from a variety of intestinal complaints, Audrey came through with flying colours. She never suffered from any of the problems commonly experienced by most African travelers, and she attributes this to the benefits of taking Optiflora. ----it might be a good idea for all foreign travellers to pack Optiflora in their bags..
