Shaklee Hand Wash

Shaklee Hand Wash

Every year when cold or flu season rolls around, health care officials tell us the exact same thing;  be sure to wash your hands often.  Proper hand washing means a full lather with scrubbing for about twenty seconds, or as long as it takes you to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice.  You should always wash your hands before preparing or eating food, after handling garbage, going to the bathroom, being around somebody is sick, handling an animal, changing a diaper, blowing your nose, and so on. 

Ready to swear allegiance to hand washing?  Be sure you wash your hands with Shaklee's Hand Wash Concentrate.  This is more than a trip to the sink to clean your hands, this is a spa visit!  Hand Wash Concentrate contains aloe, marshmallow, wheat germ oil, algae extracts, linden flower, rosemary and arnica to condition, moisturize, sooth and energize your hands.  Your skin will feel soft and smooth, and you'll be mentally refreshed from the lovely scent.

Life's too short to waste it working at a job you don't love.

122 point DROP in Cholesterol

      I just had to tell you about my results with the Shaklee products, I am completely  floored and so was my doctor. She had me go in last Monday to check my liver because I was on 10 mg of Lipitor. I knew that she wanted to increase my dose of Lipitor and  suspected she would check my cholesterol while I was in there. So the week before I went in, I kicked up the Shaklee Fiber Plan to 3x a day and took the Cholesterol Regulation Complex religiously.

     Well...I went back today and got my results. The doctor  had told me that the only way she wasn't going to increase my medication dosage was if it was reduced by more than 50 points but that a typical result would be a reduction between 30/50 on the Lipitor alone. Well...my overall cholesterol went from 280 to 158, and my bad cholesterol went from 193 to 88. I told her what else I was doing  because she couldn't believe it! She said to stay on the Lipitor for 4 more months and  then go off for two months and see how it looks only on the Shaklee, and  if it is ok, I can get off the meds. My cholesterol has been over 200 for  years, I can't remember it ever being this low!    Lisa C.

IRRITABLE BOWEL AND REFLUX TESTIMONY

"I had been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Esophageal Reflux over a year ago. I was given a prescription for the reflux condition, but tried to control the IBS with diet - no dairy products, roughage, chocolate, caffeine, etc. In other words, taking the fun out of eating! Even then I had flare ups and be on a liquid diet for several days to allow my intestinal tract to settle down. I lost about 15 pounds in a short time.

Optiflora was a Godsend when Shaklee introduced it. Chris recommended I take 2 capsules and 1 Herb Lax with the prebiotic to start with. I soon cut back to one capsule and only teaspoon of the Prebiotic powder and been taking that each night at bedtime ever since.

My condition has subsided - no diarrhea, bloating, or cramping. I can eat anything as long as I don't overdo it and have not had a spell of IBS for months. By adding 3 Peppermint Ginger after meals, I no longer need a prescription medicine for the Reflux condition either. All thanks to Shaklee's wonderful research and commitment to "the best".  Lorraine K

The Amazing Benefits of Alfalfa for Your Body

 Alfalfa the Father of All Foods

article by : Cortney Kern

Alfalfa is a one in a million.  The name most likely makes you think of the little rascals character or horse food, but what I am talking about is alfalfa the power herb! It’s hard to find another herb packed with as much goodness as alfalfa. This long used herb got its name from the Arabic language and means the father of all foods. The roots of alfalfa can reach up to 20 feet deep all the way down into the nutrient rich earth. With such deep roots, alfalfa gets a boost in nutritional value and contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any plant.

This perennial flowering plant with purple blooms is a member of the pea family and one of the earliest known herbs to be used and traded by civilizations. Going back over six thousand years, archaeologists have found traces of alfalfa on Persian ruins. We also know through writings that the Greeks used alfalfa to treat bladder and kidney diseases. Further east, the Chinese used alfalfa to help get rid of kidney stones. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, alfalfa has long been used to relieve water retention, arthritis and ulcers. With such a global use of alfalfa throughout our history, there is much to admire about what this herb has done to help treat people for centuries.

What’s So Great About Alfalfa?

To get some of the key minerals you need to be healthy and vibrant, look no further. In alfalfa you will find Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K and minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus. The vitamins found in alfalfa are important for eye health, promoting healthy skin, protecting your cells from sun damage and environmental pollutants, improves immune function and strengthens blood vessels.  If you are looking for a protein punch, alfalfa has  5.8% more protein than eggs and 2.4% more than beef. Move over cows, greens are in!

The alkalizing power of alfalfa is stronger than that which is provided by common fruit and vegetables, which are rated on a scale of 1-10 units alkaline. Alfalfa is roughly 130 units alkaline and blows the other plants out of the water. This characteristic makes it extremely important to many Americans, as the typical American diet of red meat and dairy tends to be very acidic in nature and can cause a host of autoimmune issues and various diseases.

Not too bad for a plant huh?

What Are the Common Uses of Alfalfa?

1. For those with heart disease, alfalfa can help lower cholesterol as the fibers of alfalfa stick to the cholesterol, preventing it from sticking to the arterial walls or in the blood.
2. Alfalfa has long been used to detox and purify the blood and liver as it has diuretic properties and the chlorophyll in alfalfa acts as a natural detoxifier. Alfalfa's effect on detoxing can help prevent infections to the bladder and urinary tract by increasing urine flow and making urine less acidic.
3. Alfalfa can help to dissolves kidney stones.
4. Taken in therapeutic doses, alfalfa is a great anti inflammatory and pain reliever that helps relieve discomfort from sore and achy joints. Suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and gout can find relief by using alfalfa as it aids in regulating the balance of alkalinity and acidity in your body and dissolves uric acid.
5. Made up of digestive enzymes, alfalfa is good for your digestive health and can help with indigestion and gas as it works to break down foods and promote bowel movements.
6. Looking to improve your oral care? Alfalfa can help to reverse tooth decay and remineralize teeth as well as helping improving your breath odor.
7.

   Suffering from allergies or hay fever? The anti-histamine effect of the alfalfa enzymes can help. I know my sister used to take alfalfa growing up to help her with her spring allergies.  You can take it before or after the onset of allergies.
8. If you have diabetes, alfalfa can help you by reducing your blood sugar levels
9. Alfalfa takers can help increase their ability for their blood to clot quicker after an injury

How Should I Take Alfalfa?

Alfalfa tea looks like green tea (photo: About.com)

Most commonly sold in the form of seeds, leaves or tablets, alfalfa can be consumed in tinctures, teas, capsules and add to food like soups and salads. The way that I prefer to take alfalfa is in the capsule form or I will put the capsules in hot water and drink it as a tea. Alfalfa, although loaded with nutrients, is rather bland in flavor. To help add some taste to my alfalfa tea, I often will combine it with another type of tea such as mint, green tea or raspberry to add flavor. Alfalfa tea is an especially nice way to take alfalfa if you are recovering from a cold and need a boost.

If you are going to take alfalfa in the capsule or tablet form, you should take 1 per 10 pounds that you weigh. You can break this up into doses throughout the day if you’d like. I generally just make two to three cups of alfalfa tea a day with my tablets dissolved.

Alfalfa Complex: The Shaklee Difference

Most effective way to take alfalfa. Buy.

Shaklee’s Alfalfa Complex is organically grown out of California’s fertile Antelope Valley. The way the alfalfa is grown in this valley is different from conventional alfalfa farms as they do not spray pesticides or add chemicals to their crops. So, you can be assured that the Shaklee alfalfa is a pure and nontoxic form of this important herb. To further assure that you get the best nutritional content possible, Shaklee harvests their alfalfa at it’s peak maturity of 5-7 years old. Once it is harvested,  they lay the alfalfa out to dry in the fresh air and warm California sun.  Once the alfalfa is harvested, Shaklee only takes the power packed leaves to make it’s alfalfa capsules.

Are There Any  Side Effects of Taking Alfalfa?

Check with your doctor before taking alfalfa if you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant as alfalfa contains the amino acid canavanine and can potentially have an  effect on your hormone levels. Consult your doctor if you are dealing with an autoimmune disease. Do not use with aspirin or other anti-clotting medication.

Viagra - Without The Side Effects

There are so many issues with this drug, Google the side effects of Viagra and then ask yourself if the work to get the extra pounds off is worth the risk you will be avoiding.

A Big, Fat Problem With Testosterone

Author: Dr. Stephen Chaney

 

You can’t turn on the TV nowadays without seeing ads for medications to prevent erectile dysfunction and allow you to be ready “when the moment is right.” You have probably also heard the ads for testosterone creams to treat “low T”. Similar ads seem to find their way into our email inbox almost every day.  Evidently, we guys must have a problem. Drugs that increase sexual potency appears to be a topic of much relevance to many of us.
But if you listen to the ads carefully, you will discover that all of these drugs have serious side effects including:

• Sudden drops in blood pressure
• Sudden decreases or loss of vision or hearing
• Chest pain, dizziness and nausea
• And many more

What if there were a way to increase your testosterone levels and enhance your sexual potency without side effects? In fact, there is a proven way to do that, and it involves treating the cause of the problem – not just the symptoms.

Can Obesity Affect Your Sex Drive?

While millions of American women are on a diet at any one time, many men just ignore those extra pounds. Things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes seem to be much more distant threats to us. The male ego also allows us to stand in front of a mirror, pot belly and all, and visualize ourselves as we were in our college years.

But, what if obesity lowered your testosterone levels and caused erectile dysfunction? Would that get your attention?

That is why a recent study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism should be of great interest to all of us. This study looked at 1700 men of all weights and showed that weight gain of 30 pounds lowered testosterone levels as much as if the men had aged 10 years.

Low testosterone levels in men lead to depression, loss of muscle mass and bone density, feminization, and that all important loss of sexual drive and performance.

Viagra - Without The Side Effects

So guys, if you are concerned about your sexual performance, but don’t want to take drugs that may have serious side effects, you have another option. Just take off some of that extra weight you have accumulated over the years. That may just increase your testosterone levels and your sexual performance naturally. And you won’t have any side effects, just side benefits.

The Bottom Line:

So guys, if you are not motivated to lose those extra pounds by how you look or by the increased risk of heart disease, cancer & diabetes, now you have yet another reason to shed those extra pounds. Perhaps this should be the year that you actually stick to your new year’s resolution to lose weight.
