Stroke,
Seizures, and progressive Dementia
and MindWorks
Back in 2000, I left
work & went to the emergency room because of numbness that was progressing
down my left arm. They eventually came up with a diagnosis that I have a
genetic disorder that makes me prone to strokes, seizures & progressive
dementia. I had my first seizure the next morning in the hospital, my
first stroke about six months later. My mental capacity started to lessen as
well with each additional seizure.
Looking
back, I can see how my job performance was slowly suffering as was my
social life. I had another stroke which affected my balance and I ended
up having to walk with a cane. My world was getting smaller & smaller, the
seizures & strokes continued. The damage to my mental state was
devastating, I couldn't hold a decent conversation, I would simply sit silently
& just listen to others. I would stumble over simple words, trying to find
them in my mind. I would cry in pure frustration, knowing it was only going to
get worse. I spent most of my time, home alone, not wanting to do anything or
deal with anyone.
It was
last year that my sister, Susan, met Julie Young & was introduced to
Shaklee. Susan tried some of the products, including MindWorks. She told me
about it & how it was helping her. She then asked me if I would be
willing to give it a try & I said yes.
After
about 3 weeks on MindWorks , I started noticing a difference. I was
feeling more alert, & more positive. I remembered more & was speaking
more with less difficulty. I wanted to keep taking the MindWorks.
I was
really noticing a major difference. Susan would say, I was like a two year old,
at first you couldn't get me to talk, now you can't get me to shut up. I
am truly grateful for MindWorks, all it & what the other Shaklee products
are doing for me. Because of my third stroke about 6 years ago, I had to
stop teaching Sunday school. Now I am very happy to say I am back, teaching the
5 & 6 year olds in my church. With the MindWorks & the Vivix, not
only has my balance improved but July 4th I ran a 4 mile race and
have also done Three 5Ks this past summer. And I know it is because of
MindWorks that I am able to stand up here today in front of all of you & be
able to talk.
MindWorks & the Other Shaklee products I use
have turned my life around & because of the Shaklee difference; I chose to
become a distributor so that I may share this amazing gift with others.
NUTRIFERON: I am so thankful for this product. 2 yrs ago Wyatt was diagnosed with Asthma and allergies. They wanted me to give a 3yr old zyrtec. That is not something I wanted to give him and went home to my cabinet. I was giving him everything he needed Incredivites, protein, 1 nutriferon, a few alfalfa, vitamin c and optiflora. But he would have a flare up and I would have to give him a breathing treatment. I didn't want to have to rely on that either. So I did a consultation with Martha Wilmore a Shaklee Master Coordinator and nutritionist out of Canada. She recommended I up his Nutriferon to the recommended dose of 2, add in 2 Omega Guard (for inflammation) and 1 GLA (natural steroid). Well it has been over a year since he had a breathing treatment. His allergies got pretty bad in October like usual so I had enough and we visited an allergist. 
It’s time
for my annual “Healthy Thanksgiving” blog. While "Healthy Thanksgiving" doesn't
quite have the appeal of the more familiar "Happy Thanksgiving" greeting, I used
it here to make the point that Thanksgiving dinner (and many other holiday
meals) doesn't have to be an unhealthy affair. 
"Sebastian feels like a regular kid again! After we started him gradually and consistently with Shaklee nutrition over several months, our oldest son went from having a learning disablility, daily headaches, and fatigue (due to a leaky gut) to being well above average at school and all his other symptoms, including multiple food sensitivities are gone. I can't help but share this with other moms, if it can at least help one other child not live miserably."
"So glad not to have this nebulizer in my house anymore - my 3 kids used it for bronchitis over the last few months. They kept getting prescribed antibiotics and steroids but they did nothing for them. So I switched everyone to Shaklee's vitamins and changed our cleaning products and now everyone healthy." "John and I take Vitalizer. The kids take Incredivites, Mighty Smarts and Optiflora. And when we feel a tickle coming on, we take Defend & Resist."
