Happy Thanksgivukkah!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgivukkah with family and friends today - this last happened in 1888 and, according to one calculation, won’t happen again for another 77,798 years: the convergence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. So, please enjoy this once in a lifetime occurrence! And, Happy Thanksgiving as well!
Thank you for your business and your support. I greatly appreciate it.

What Grain Is Doing to Your Brain
Have you seen this article?
Too many carbs in our diet, says one expert, are spurring dementia and a national Alzheimer's crisis
I agree with this statement:
<< How We Got Here
Perlmutter's book is propelled by a growing body of research indicating that Alzheimer's disease may really be a third type of diabetes, a discovery that highlights the close relationship between lifestyle and dementia. It also reveals a potential opening to successfully warding off debilitating brain disease through dietary changes.>>

I would just be making different dietary changes than he suggests. I believe in BALANCE. I personally would not recommend 75% of diet to be healthy
fats and only 5% carbs! I don't think that is healthy and I understand people who try those zero carb diets to have trouble thinking or concentrating, so how is that helping their brain?
I like Shaklee's suggestion of 30/40/30 (protein/carbs/fats) for weight and inch loss, or 20/50/30 for normal healthy living. Either way, healthy fats are 30% of the diet. Carbs do not have to include much, or any grain, if
we don't want them. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables, and they are carbs! I believe in balance, and therefore, I will not be cutting grains out for now! I'll just keep taking my Vitalizer, Vivix, B-complex (see: Should you be taking vitamin B to protect against Alzheimer's?), Shaklee
180 Smoothees, etc. for my brain health. The more Smoothees I drink and Meal Bars I eat,
the less grains I eat, naturally! After all, you can only eat so much in a day :)
I understand those who need a gluten free diet will be eating less grains - not all grains have gluten though.
Your thoughts?

Dear Shaklee Family,
We are all tremendously concerned as we witness the plight of those in the Philippines, where so many lives have been devastated by Typhoon Haiyan, a storm of unprecedented magnitude. In addition to the thousands who have tragically perished, an incredible 600,000 or more people remain at risk - homeless, desperate for food, clean water, medical assistance and shelter. We send our love and prayers to the people of the Philippines, and to their families and friends who grieve and worry here in the States as well. We want to help in any way that we can.

A Rant - Shark Tank Episode on Friday 11/1/13
I LOVE Shark Tank and I am for sure not bad mouthing them, nor the products I am about to mention. I just want to set the record straight because I couldn't believe this when I heard it.
That first team of presenters on Shark Tank, when asked about competition - he said he doesn't know of any, and the sharks just believed that! WHAT?! I just couldn't believe what I was hearing!! Obviously, no one did their homework, as Shaklee has been making safe & natural, effective cleaners for about 50 years! Our Get Clean products are super-concentrated, which means much less packaging as well. I highly doubt that they are the largest in this space either. I don't know our numbers, but I'm quite certain that we are. How can you compete with 50 years?
I will say, I went to their website (I don't wish to name the product but I'm sure you can find it if you want), and, I applaud them for calling out their other competitors who say they are green or safe and are just green washing! Although I have no proof, it seems this new company may be a bit more like Shaklee, really green, really safe and really effective. Follow the Leader, as they say! :) But, again, I don't know because I have no proof of that, only what they say. I'm not going to bash or endorse them - at least they may have brought some more awareness to what's going on out there and I, for one, appreciate that.
As far as saving the environment (being green) and saving money, we have them beat by FAR. I just found their concentrated gallon size of what looks to be an all purpose cleaner - it makes 20 - 32oz bottles (that = 5 gallons) and costs $77!!!!!!! OUCH. Basic H2 Retails at $43.80 for a 1/2 gallon and makes, are you ready? 192 GALLONS of all purpose cleaner!!! Which one SAVES YOU MORE MONEY????!!!
Of course, we both have smaller sizes as well, our 16 oz Basic H2 super-concentrate retails at $12.15. One bottle of Basic H2 equals the cleaning uses of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex®*! Their window cleaner comes in 32 oz and makes 32 oz of window cleaner. Cost, $6.99 on sale. Which is the better deal?! I choose to think you are smart enough to figure that out. The Shaklee prices I listed here are retail - most people join us and pay member price, which is even less expensive.
When a product is not concentrated (or super concentrated as in the case of Shaklee products), the main ingredient is usually water. Pick up any window cleaner that you may have on hand and read the label - what's the first ingredient? Water? Are you paying for water in your cleaners? Dr. Shaklee knew that we could get water from our tap and so many years ago he decided that we would only ship the cleaner - you add your own water. Saves money and the environment. Seems smart to me.
Ok, I've spoke my peace - your turn to comment! FYI, I will not accept nasty comments or advertising your products here. I will approve comments that are respectful and have to do with the topic at hand. Thanks.
