Removing Lipstick Stain on Nylon - Naturally!!!

It's pretty simple. I dropped my lipstick on my shirt!!! I'm sure you have never done that, right? Well, I got it off naturally with Shaklee Get Clean products. I used a couple of drops of Fresh Laundry and a pinch (or less) of Nature Bright, then washed normally with Shaklee Get Clean Laundry products! Got this stain OFF with one try and all with natural, safe, green products!! Shaklee - ALWAYS SAFE, ALWAYS GREEN, ALWAYS WORKS!!!

Before

And After. It also either brightened up the shirt, or, it was just different lighting. The first pic was taken out in the sunlight and the second in my home office with the sunlight coming in through a sunroof.

Let me know if you would like help taking out any stains! Nature Bright works for a lot of items, not just clothing!

What's in YOUR Vitamins?

What do you think is in your vitamins if you do not yet take Shaklee? Maybe this picture will help:

Several years ago, I put five different brands of vitamins in the oven for a few minutes. This was the result. What do you think that is? Do you think the black has any nutritional value? Why do you think it's in some vitamins? I think it's coal tar (that they make the roads with) or maybe sugar, but I am not sure. I don't believe it has any nutritional value and I think it is there as a filler - whatever it is, is most likely cheaper than real food, which Shaklee uses. The Shaklee one is our Vita-lea, which only browned like a loaf of bread would. You can try this yourself, and I urge you to.

Another test you can do is to drop your multi-vitamin in a glass of water to see how long it takes to dissolve. Vita-lea takes 17 min. If the vitamin doesn't dissolve in 24 hours or less, it is probably going through your system whole. At least you wouldn't be getting any of the black stuff that way, but, where is your money going? Maybe this information will help you to make more informed choices when purchasing vitamins and/or other products you and your family put into and on your body. Spring is time for rebirth - maybe it's your time, too!

Why would a Senior VP quit Shaklee Home Office?

I have some tremendously exciting news to share with you. After ten years of encouraging people to join Shaklee as a distributor, Laura Evans, our Senior Vice President of Sales has finally decided to listen to her own advice. Laura has decided to become a Field Leader in our business, which makes her the first senior executive at Shaklee to leave corporate to be a distributor!!

She has decided she wants what Shaklee has to offer all of us - she wants to have time to be a wife and mother, and help people, and build generational wealth for herself and her family! She wants FREEDOM & HEALTH, the only 2 products we offer! She chose the absolute best MLM in the universe. She could've gone anywhere - she has extensive experience in the industry, but she chose Shaklee, because we are the best. I'm not sure, but this may be a first in the Direct Selling Industry - one for the Guinness books?

In her own words....View a special video message in which Laura shares her excitement about this announcement!

Dear Fellow Shaklee Business Leaders,

I am so excited about the future growth I see for each of us in Shaklee. I am so confident in the incredible potential Shaklee holds for us as Independent Distributors that I want to pursue this rather than my corporate career. For many years, my heart has longed to be in the Field as a Shaklee Leader helping others to achieve their goals on a more personal level while developing my own business.

Recently, doors have opened up for me enabling me to make the shift from corporate, and I was able to acquire a Shaklee distributorship. It is full of loyal and committed leaders and customers. It will be my honor and privilege to work for this team helping them to achieve their goals. And I have absolute confidence in the talented and dedicated team inside the company led by Dan and Justin to support each of us along the way.

For years I have been promoting the powerful business opportunity I see available in Shaklee. Shaklee has the winning combination of what any entrepreneur would look for in a successful business model:

1. Products of the highest quality. My family and I have been using Shaklee products for 10 years now, and the difference in our health and vitality is immeasurable.
2. Partners in business whom you can trust. With the leadership of Roger Barnett and Dan Rajczak, I feel confident in the alignment of values, the foundation created for the next 50 years and the future direction the company is taking. I truly believe there has never been a better time to build a business in Shaklee, and I don't want to wait any longer to take advantage of our trajectory.
3. People. Terrific people. Shaklee is a family to me. It is wonderful to be surrounded by people with integrity, both internally as employees and externally in our vibrant Field leadership. And I also look forward to being in a position to help others around me on a more personal level.
4. Potential. A Shaklee business is at the intersection of all major growth trends: health, wellness, weight management, green cleaning, the potential to build internationally, and the trend of millions wanting to build a home-based business. The future for all of us in Shaklee is truly unlimited.

Many of you who know me won't be surprised by this decision. In my heart, and from the time that I first fell in love with this industry, I've identified very closely with the Field, no matter where I've worked. But when I came to Shaklee in 2004, I felt I'd come home. And since that time, the desire has been growing in me to be what I feel I am destined to be, and that's what you are – entrepreneurs with a mission and a cause to make others' lives better, and to help people to achieve their greatest potential in every possible way. That is what I believe in, and that is what I look forward to dedicating my life to every day. As one of you.

I look forward to seeing all of you at a Regional Event in April, and at our 2014 Shaklee Live event in Long Beach.

Best wishes for good health and success,

Laura Evans  You can join Laura and I today - start your own healthy, successful business here, or leave a comment on this blog, or contact me for assistance.

Understanding the Latest Media Attention on Multivitamins

Dear Shaklee Family,

Many of you have probably seen the headlines regarding multivitamins and their inability to prevent chronic disease in the past few days - the result of three studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Starting from a 30,000-foot view, the premise of these studies is the first problem: looking at the use of a multivitamin alone as a way to prevent disease. The purpose of a multivitamin is to fill in nutritional gaps and provide optimum levels of vitamins and minerals. It is well established that the vast majority of Americans fail to obtain even adequate levels of these nutrients.

Prevention of any disease is a multi-factorial process that has to include diet, weight management, and lifestyle. To expect to see disease prevention accomplished by virtue of taking a daily multivitamin is a flawed premise. So, why are these large-scale (and very expensive) studies undertaken? It is simply the model of research that scientists and physicians understand - studying a single drug to determine what effect it may have on a single disease. Studying nutrition is far more complex.

While a drug has a primary effect (usually something positive), they also have a myriad of side effects (which are usually negative and even life threatening). Every year pharmaceuticals are removed from the market because of these serious side effects. A study published in JAMA in 1998 showed that as many as 125,000 Americans die each year of properly prescribed pharmaceuticals - wow! When was the last time a vitamin was removed from the market?

Vitamins and minerals all have multiple positive functional roles to play in our bodies - which is why so many Americans pop a multi each day. People simply feel better when they take a multi because they are filling in those all too common nutrition gaps.

All three of these studies showed that multivitamins have an excellent safety profile. Well, of course they do - they are essential for life! The only “potential harm” that continues to be mentioned every time we have a study such as this published is the slight increased risk of lung cancer in smokers who took beta carotene . My response to that is - smokers: stop smoking!

Let me quickly summarize these studies. The largest one is another report from the Physician Health Study - previous publications of data from this large government funded study did show an association of reduced cancer associated with multivitamin usage.

The next study looked at cognitive decline in physicians - who are at the upper end of the intelligence scale and pretty well nourished. Showing a significant change in cognitive decline in this population is going to take some intervention beyond a multi - as this population is most likely doing lots of the right things to protect their brain function.

The third study tried to show that higher doses of specific vitamins decrease the likelihood of a second heart attack in folks who have already had a heart attack. Hmmm. Maybe we should look at weight reduction, cholesterol, blood pressure lowering, and blood sugar management as opposed to putting the burden of prevention of a second heart attack in someone with heart disease on vitamins!

I have been recommending a multivitamin (and beyond) to my patients, and consumers in general, for my entire 30 years as a physician - and nothing in these studies changes my mind. The statistics on inadequacies in our American diet are clear - most everyone is deficient in multiple nutrients. Here at Shaklee, we have the Landmark Study, published in the journal Nutrition in 2007 that showed a nice correlation of better health with multiple supplement usage, starting with a multivitamin. We have over 100 published studies that validate the connection of nutrition and health. I urge you to continue taking your Shaklee supplements - but also, to remember the importance of eating healthfully, avoiding fast foods, and getting to a healthy weight on your journey to better health.

Be well!

Chair of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education for Shaklee Corporation
