We have had
incredible success with the Shaklee supplements and our son's brain. Marshall is five and was born with an
intracranial hemorrhage which went undetected.
He developed hydrocephalus which subsequently led to
rebleeds and
secondary craniosynostosis and microcephaly and possibly secondary chiari
malformation. He has been on massive
doses the Shaklee supplements since birth and is considered a miracle child by
his doctors. He
has not had any
seizures (yet! Praise the Lord!). We
have consulted from time to time with Dr. Linda Rodriquez on the amounts and
kinds of supplements that would help him.
He is a strapping, stocky, gregarious, bright kid who
can't get
enough of life. He has had 12
neurosurgeries in his brief 5 years of life and you would never know it from
looking at him. He started regular
kindergarten this year when I expected to keep him an extra year in
preschool. He is thriving. We
have been grinding all of the supplements up and placing them with the soy
protein in his soy milk. He also takes
the critical brain supplements EPA, GLA and Lecithin by mouth. We
and Dr. Rodriguez are convinced his progress and recovery are directly
attributable to Shaklee supplements and prayer.
He is a cerebral palsy child but barely detectable without close
inspection. He is precociously verbal in
spite of losing almost the entire left lobe of the brain. He has an abnormal EEG which shows spikes of
seizure activity but is functioning without clinical
seizures.
We will not
allow any artificial products or aspartame, as they are suspect in causing
seizures in children. We have a completely non-toxic home which
reduces the likelihood of chemicals interfering with his brain function. The Shaklee non-toxic products are a literal
God-send to us. We pray they will not take them off the market. We restrict sugar, white flour, processed
foods that contain chemicals and other non-nutritional products.
Marshall's neurosurgeon is one of
the most famous in the world.. Dr. Ben Carson at John's Hopkins. You may have seen him on television. Dr. Carson and his neurologist are amazed at
his remarkable recovery. Believe me,
these supplements
work for the brain and for recovery from surgeries.
Let me know if
I can be of any assistance to you. I
also have some great books. The Brain Wellness Plan written by a
neurologist (Jay Lombard) and nutritionist is excellent. They virtually list every supplement that
Shaklee has on the market and explain how important they are to brain wellness. IN particular, they have a chapter explaining
why the health of the gastrointestinal tract is so critical to brain
function. Something the average person
wouldn't think of. We have Marshall on
Optiflora twice a day for that reason.
I am happy to
share our experience with Shaklee and the medical establishment and a special
needs child with you at anytime and with anyone else who might be reading
this.
Good luck and
God Bless.
