AND COULD YOUR CLEANERS BE CONNECTED TO YOUR CHILDREN’s BEHAVIOR??

 

Read what Beth has to say about her son:

 

 My experience with Shaklee products began from a desperate need to get

 help for my son.  He had been on Ritalin for two and one- half years.

 What began as a "miracle drug" ended as a personality-altering nightmare.

 

 

 At first, we were amazed at how he instantly became a good student.  He

 was no longer in trouble all the time and had the ability to sit still

 and focus.  He said "okay" when asked to perform simple tasks, and "thank

 you" and " I'm sorry".  He actually complimented his brothers!  Our

 lifestyle as a family changed drastically and the constant tension was

 eased.

 

 By the end of two and one-half years, however, the medication had taken

 its toll.  It became a sedative that worked for a short time, but when it

 began to wear off, our son would become explosive.  Once, when he was  in

 a rage of frustration and anger,  I asked him what was wrong, and all he

 could say, in fits of tears and thrashing, was, "I don't know, Mommy!! I

 don't know!!"  He was nine years old. 

 

 At the same time, the Lord brought a new friend into my life.  She

 "happened" to be a very experienced mother of four boys -two of whom were

 taking Shaklee supplements for ADH.  My husband and I decided to try the

 same program they were using, and we are so glad we did!

 

 To summarize…our son is now able to be the person God made him to be.

 Shortly after beginning the program, we came to know a boy we had never

 had the opportunity to know before.  Not only did his creativity come

 back, but a thoughtful, kind, insightful attitude accompanied it.  There

 is a depth in him that the "focus" of medication limited.  Ritalin kept

 him focused, but very shallow.  He's free now to think and express

 himself in delightful and deeply thoughtful ways.  He remains very

 active,  which can be, honestly, quite trying at times.  But his need for

 physical expression is minor compared to what we have gained.  We've

 discovered that there are other answers for the behavior difficulties.

 

 I had heard something about fumes from cleaning supplies causing children

 to be"hyper " and out of control.  I gave it little thought until one day

 I was cleaning the bathroom with  bleach and made myself sick with the

 smell of Clorox bleach in my nostrils.  I thought that if it could cause

 me, an adult, to feel so ill, what must it do to a child?  Several days

 later, my boys were playing in the basement, and suddenly my oldest

 became very mean-spirited, bossy, and LOUD (does that sound familiar to

 any of you?!).  Immediately I thought, "What has he had to eat?"  I

 couldn't think of anything he'd eaten that would make him act this way.

 Looking in the direction of the noise, I realized that the dishwasher was

 on.  I couldn't imagine that it possibly could be the fumes from the

 dishwasher detergent; however, I decided to experiment during the next

 few days.

 

  Each day, while my son was doing well, I'd turn on the dishwasher, and

 as soon as the steam began seeping out with the smell of detergent, he

 would go crazy!!  It was as if  he responded on cue: a phenomenon I would

 not have believed if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!  Needless to say,

  we have changed to Basic D for the dishwasher, and we also use Basic H

 and G.  I have seen no ill effects of these cleaners on my kids, and I

 have watched my boys while I used the products, so that I could monitor

 any changes in their behavior.

 

 Taking his supplements has been a part of my son's daily routine now for

 almost three years.  By the way, until we began the Shaklee supplements,

 he and his brothers were in the doctor's office at least once every six

 weeks for this or that ailment.  In the last three years, he has been to

 see the doctor one time!

 

 I am so thankful for Shaklee and am glad that I can always trust the

 consistency of their products.  Shaklee has given us so much hope for our

 son, and,  the quality of our life as a family has dramatically improved.

Thank you,  Shaklee!
