Why Supplement

I just came across some alarming facts from the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society that may interest you. Did you know that approximately one out of every two adults will be diagnosed with cancer sometime during their life, and that simple lifestyle choices--such as proper diet and exercise--can help prevent 60?90% of many major diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes? If you're at all concerned about your health or the health of someone you love, I strongly encourage you to read Why the Proven Benefits of Nutritional Supplementation Are So Important Today. This is one of the most helpful and eye-opening brochures I've read. I'm sure you'll feel the same.

Cholesterol Reduction Complex

Barb Hill Behar Testimonial Cholesterol Reduction Complex October, 2010 Our family has a history of high cholesterol and I have been battling high LDL levels for quite a few years.   My  HDL has pretty consistently been in a good range,  but  I was very excited to begin using the  Cholesterol Reduction Complex by Shaklee so see if it would reduce my LDL. I started taking it in August right after the product was launched.  You need to take 2 tablets 15-30  minutes before two of your meals.  Sometimes that was a little tricky to remember, so I set my cell  phone alarm !I have consistently taken it now for 2 months. I had my cholesterol checked shortly before I started taking the Cholesterol Reduction Complex.    I had it checked again this week and got the results yesterday. I am pleased to report my LDL has already dropped from 180-150, almost 20% in just 2 months!!  I told my doctor what I was doing and she told that is takes a while for LDL to drop so advised me to  be patient as it continues to drop!  I am confident it will soon be in the normal range.  April 2011 I had another LIPID panel on April 2.  I was thrilled to see the continuing positive results.  It has now  been 7 months since I started taking CRC.  I take 2 tablets before 2 meals per day between 85 and 90 % of the time.  I still have my cell phone alarm set so I don't forget! My LDL has dropped to 117.  That is a over a 35% drop.  My HDL has increased to 60.  My overall cholesterol is lower than it has been in the past 20 years!

Colitis and Diverticulitis

The Grace of Vivix according to Louis: February of 2008 I was diagnosed with Colitis and Diverticulites, but tests also showed a possibility of Chrons.  I was on various medications throughout 2008 and 2009 with nothing really helping.  Then one day in late January of 2010 Amber called and talked to me about Vivix and offered to send more information along with testimonials.  After reading the material I ordered Vivix and after a month thought it wasn't going to help me but I remembered Amber saying to try it at least for two months. I started taking Vivix in February and after two months I could see improvement and by three months I was symptom free and still am nearly a year later.  Before taking Vivix I had diarrhea, bloody stools, and mucus discharge to the point I didn't leave the house but for a short time.  I was basically living on toast and yogurt and drinking only water.  I had no energy.  Now I watch my diet but I can eat most things and I still drink mostly water but occasionsally have tea or a soda.  I am now able to do my regular activities, and am so thankfull!

Reduce Risk of Macular Degeneration

Most supplement companies are reluctant to abandon a well-established brand - even when they have something better to sell. On a recent visit to our optometrist he alerted us to a perfect example of that in the area of eye health.  But, first a bit of background. Many of you have probably heard of AREDS (Age Related Eye Disease Study) conducted by the National Eye Institute. That study showed that high doses of the antioxidants vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin E and the mineral zinc significantly decreased the risk of macular degeneration in high risk patients. Very shortly after the study was completed several companies started marketing vitamin supplements based on the amounts of those nutrients used in the AREDS study.  However, by the time that study was published there were already several other published studies showing that lutein and zeaxanthin were a better choice than beta-carotene and that omega-3 fatty acids also significantly reduced the risk of macular degeneration. In addition, many experts felt that the amount of zinc used in the original AREDS formulation was too high. So the National Eye Institute immediately started an AREDS 2 study with the revised formulation and most of the manufacturers of AREDS supplements started marketing AREDS 2 supplements. Our optometrist told us people interested in reducing the risk of macular degeneration really should be using the AREDS 2 supplements rather than the AREDS formulations offered by the same companies.  Since he knew that we used Shaklee products he also asked us whether it was possible to get those nutrients in the right amount from Shaklee supplements. So we did some label reading. Vitalizer, 1 Vita E Complex, 2 CarotoMax, 2 OmegaGuard and 1 Zinc Complex come very close to the AREDS 2 formulation. So the bottom line is: If you are interested in reducing the risk of macular degeneration look for an AREDS 2 formulation and Shaklee can fit the bill.   To Your Health!
