My Healthy Lifestyle: November 2013

DIABETES TESTIMONIAL: As you know, I am diabetic with all the problems that go along. One of my greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost his from diabetes. I suffered severe neuropathy in both my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with PAD. I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly. Hardly a night went by when I wasn't awakened by them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix, I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg cramp. So wonderful! And I can feel my toes again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep.                               Cathi S. Lindall, CPA
ARTHRITIS PAIN: I'm a person who has used Shaklee vitamins as well as their business plan to improve all elements of my health profile since 1985. I am now 72 and have been experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and back pain. It has grown over the past several years to aggravating proportions effecting sleep and most movement. I was using up to 16 Pain Complex tablets a day to control this growing pain. It worked to quench the pain but the pain itself showed no signs of letting up. Then, in early August, Shaklee Corporation introduced VIVIX, a fabulous new longevity
tonic with resveratrol and super-grape extracts. I actually began taking Vivix while attending the convention in New Orleans. It is now September 15th and I'm pain free! I take NO Pain Complex. I use the Prescription for Health products recommended by Dr. Jamie McManus in addition to Vivix...one teaspoon a day. It's great to be able to move again without pain anywhere.                                               Martha Maxwell

STROKE RECOVERY: A massive stroke 3 1/2 years ago (doctors attribute to my irregular heartbeat-- I believe it was stress) attacked my right brain (& basil ganglia) leaving my left side totally unavailable and the right brain majorly stressed, reactive, & depressed. Never totally giving up, taking handfuls of Shaklee supplements, exercising, listening to motivational cd's, getting Brain Gym balances, regular chiropractic care,
etc., my progress was evident to those who knew me, including my doctors. But what they didn't see was the exhaustion and struggle it took. Then along came Vivix, August 15, less than 6 weeks ago. First I thought it was probably the placebo effect, but today I can tell you a few of the things I KNOW have changed.
VIVIX vs. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: I have high blood pressure that is controlled by a diuretic and beta blocker combination medication. Usually even with medication my systolic ranges between 129-138 and my diastolic between 75-83 and my pulse would range anywhere from 80-91 (rarely dropping below 80).
After five days on Vivix™ my blood pressure was 111/69 and pulse 59. The only thing different that I have been doing prior to this low reading is Vivix™. The past few days, my bp seems to be consistently around 122/73 and pulse 70. That’s pretty pleasing to me. I hope to eventually be able to come off all medications. I do supplement with magnesium and CoQ10 to counteract what my bp medication causes in nutrient deficiencies, but I’d rather not have the stuff going through my system.
I have not been on any other medications, not changed my diet any and my exercise level is still around 7500 steps a day. Overall, I seem to have more energy and am better able to concentrate. I would recommend that you take Vivix™ in the morning so you can get the benefit of more energy throughout the day.

AGE SPOTS AND PAIN: Although I've been on an excellent anti-inflammatory supplement and diet program for over ten years, I've still had some aches and pains that just haven't gone away. I've been using Vivix for about two weeks now (since it came out) and have had tremendous relief of all of the achy pains that used to plague me! I'm especially relieved not to have pain around the arthritic bones spurs I have on the joints of my spine and hands. This is a blessing in and of itself. However the other day, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who started using Vivix when I did. She said her age spots were going away. "What!!!! Hold the phone!" I said. It looked like mine were lighter too!! Now several days later I can say for certain that some of my spots are gone and the rest are much, much lighter. I'll bet they'll all be gone within a week. I'm also noticing much more energy and I've been sleeping better (less pain). Better sleep, more energy, no pain and no spots!!!   Hip Hip Hooray for Shaklee!                   Dr.Sandy Bevacqua
RAPID HEALING TESTIMONY: “Gary started on the VIVIX Wednesday, August 8th. The 13th he had dental surgery to prepare for a tooth transplant. The 22nd he had a follow up visit and the dental surgeon called in some of his staff to show them that the healing process looked like it had been 4 months instead of just a few days! He said he'd never seen anything like this before and was calling his Mother-in-law who's in Shaklee to get started on the products!   Gary's 67 and has taken Shaklee for 34 years!”
                                               Phyllis & Gary Newman
EYESIGHT: My sister, who is a wildlife artist, told me yesterday that she didn't need her reading glasses as much when she is painting up close in detail!
                                                                 Barb Heller

HIGHER METABOLISM: My VIVIX testimonial is that it seems to have increased my metabolism! I am able to eat more like a regular person and still stay thin (in fact I've lost about 3 pounds), instead of eating like a bird and working out all the time!
One of the David Sinclair videos on You Tube shows him saying that the ingredients seemed to offset obesity in laboratory rats even on a high calorie diet! I'm definitely not on a high calorie diet, but like I said, I seem to be able to actually eat regular amounts now. Barbara Heller

SKIN MORE YOUTHFUL: My skin has been very dry, and getting worse, for the past several years. My husband said my forearms looked like tanned leather. The skin was thick, dull, and very dry, in spite of using Enfuselle facial moisturizer on them. If I scratched my arm even slightly there would be a white mark and skin would flake off. I had assumed it was just a sign of age and I'd have to accept it and then came Vivix! My skin is more youthful once again.                         Mona Jones
HEART PROBLEM & EXERCISE CHANGES: I have a history of heart problems since my early 20’s. My average heart rate was 213 beats a minute for 10 years, called Super Ventricular Tachycardia. My heart would pound so hard, you could literally see it. I was always weak, dizzy and light headed. I didn’t want to
take drugs because of the side effects. After 10 years of this, I had 2 heart surgeries (because my symptoms kept coming back). I was still having problems - a fast heart rate and feeling weak. I was in and out of the hospital every month for a year –test after test – and they still couldn’t figure out why my heart rate was so erratic and fast. I heard about Shaklee products and how great they were from a friend years before, so I decided to try them. Within 6 weeks of taking the products, it was like night and day for me …. I was no longer weak and I didn’t have to stop at the top of the stairs and catch my breath and my bearings. The protein powder made the biggest impact on my health…. I can’t live without it. I had been told back then that I couldn’t have kids because they would have birth defects due to lack of oxygen. Since being on the products, I had a baby who is very healthy and is now 11 years old.
ENTER VIVIX: I’ve always been an avid exerciser since I was 20 years old – aerobic type of activity and weights. I have a particular machine that I work out on called the gauntlet. I typically work out on it for about 35 minutes. It has taken me 3 or 4 years to get to this level of intensity, otherwise my heart flips and I get weak and have to stop my workout. It takes me a long time to work into another level in my workouts. In 2 weeks of starting on Vivix, I increased my intensity without my heart flipping and I didn’t get that weak feeling. My face used to get VERY red and hot – not anymore! This is HUGE for my heart!!!                         Jodi Barnhart
CATARACTS & EYESIGHT: This is PJ Myers, and for the past 4 years I have had the start of cataracts. The center of my lens on both eyes has been white. The optometrist has been keeping an eye on them. Two years ago I got back into Shaklee. The cataracts didn't get any worse, but they didn't get any better. However, in mid August 2008 I began taking Vivix regularly and just got back from the eye doctor November 7, 2008. He was shocked to see that my cataracts are GONE!! Also, my vision could only be corrected to 20-40 in 2005, 2006. After joining Shaklee, it was correctible to
20-30. Since Vivix it is now correctible to 20-25. And for the first time in 40 years, I did not need new glasses. My night vision is improving as well. I feel as if my eyes are getting "younger"!!                        PJ Myers

WHY WE AGE - CAN WE TURN BACK THE CLOCK

The Four Key Mechanisms of Aging

It’s a fact of life. Aging begins long before we can see or feel any changes – at the cellular level. Is cellular aging inevitable? Well, we can’t stop time, but emerging research reveals we may be able to influence these biological aging processes in positive ways. This has to do with how efficiently cells repair and replicate themselves, which affects your health, well-being and the aging process in various ways.

Our bodies face these four key mechanisms of cellular aging:

DNA Damage
Every day, every cell in your body is bombarded by up to a million DNA-damaging assaults. These assaults can damage the cell’s genetic database, creating a “typo” that may compromise cell function and longevity.

Genetic Regulators
Genetic regulators contribute to age-related cellular deterioration by controlling the dynamic balance between damage and repair, including whether a cell will live or not.

Declining Cellular Energy Production
Mitochondria in our cells create energy we can’t live without. As mitochondrial efficiency decreases, cell function declines.

Accumulation of AGE Proteins
Excess accumulation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) can cause cellular damage that can compromise cell integrity and longevity.
