Prevention using Vitalizer can save $1 Trillion in health-care costs!!

From the cover of Time Magazine June 22, 2009: It's all about Prevention. The first step toward containing health-care costs is to avoid getting sick.

Using our Landmark Study, Shaklee did a projection, and found that if everyone in America just took a Vitalizer everyday, it would save our country $1 TRILLION in health care costs!!! WOW! Take a look at this President Obama and all of you in government trying to fix this health care problem! The answer is PREVENTION!

Over 90% of all health care expenditures are spent on the last 6 months of life and we can no longer afford to do that! Let's do something about it now! Practice prevention yourself, and tell everyone you know and love!

This presentation is 50 min. longbut very worth your health! If you want to be sure to get all thevitamin D3 you need every day, check out my most recent blog post and then order what I am using! It WORKS!

Vitamin D3 deficiency and Fibromyalgia, Bone/Hip Fractures, Cancer, Type I Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Psoriasis and much, much, much more! This is an AMAZING presentation!

Presented by Michael Holick, PhD, MD, Professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics and director of the General Clinical Research Center at Boston University Medical Center.

Vitamin D3 the most important Vitamin ~ Dr. Oz knows I am not getting enough?

Ok, I love Dr. Oz as much as anyone but tonight he closed show with his usual Drs. orders, saying that Vitamin D3 is the most important vitamin and "I know you're not getting enough of it." Well, Dr. Oz, it may be the most important vitamin we need and I might agree with you. I have been posting about how important vitamin D3 is since I started this blog, but I've got news for you ~ I am, and thankfully have been for many years, getting enough vitamin D3 in my daily routine because I take the right supplements from the right company, the one that knows what they are doing with nutrition!!!

In my usual normal day of taking Vitalizer Gold, Osteo-matrix and just one Cinch shake per day, I am getting at least 1600mg. of vitamin D3 per day!!!! I say "at least" because I did not count the vitamin D3 in the Cinch shakes (sometimes I have 2 of those a day to keep my 25# and 27.5" off that I lost with Cinch!)

So, as much as I love you, Dr. Oz, and agree with most everything on your show, I really wish you would steer people to the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S., the one who has the clinical research, the ONLY company with over 100 scientific papers with 90 of them published inpeer-reviewed scientific journals. I know, you cannot advertise any specific company but I still find that frustrating because as smart as you are for what you do, I hope you know which brand to use for yourself and I wish you would share that with the world! There really is a difference in brands and we really DO change lives with our products, they are not just vitamins.

If you've read this far, please just keep reading more of my posts in this blog and in my resveratrol blog for overwhelming evidence of the difference these products can make in your life and the lives of your loved ones. I know they have in mine, in my families, and in countless numbers of my friends lives.

So, Dr. Oz, I'm sorry to say, but please do not tell me I am not getting what I need!!!! I am, and have been for 30 years! Not just in vitamin D3, but in every nutrient I need! The proof is in the pudding ~ my blood work is PERFECT, I feel great, my dentist says I have "beautiful gums" and my chiropractor says I have "great bones." I'm happy!! And extremely grateful that someone told me about Shaklee when I was in my early 20's so I could be as healthy as I am today, now and forever!

Post - Polio Syndrome (PPS) and other Shaklee Health Stories

Another success story came my way tonight....my friend, Joe has Post Polio Syndrome (PPS). He has been taking Vitalizer, Vivix and Nutriferon for more than one year. He added Cor Energy about a month ago. Joe's dark circles under his eyes are lightening, at least 6 moles/skin tags have fallen off, Cardio C-ReactiveProtein (CRP) and Homocysteine levels are much better. And, he has smoother softer skin and more mental energy!! We are literally changing lives with Shaklee products! Since starting Cor Energy about one month ago he says he feels his brain and nervous system have been stimulated as well! Muscles next? We hope so! I firmly believe if Joe would add 1 or 2 Cinch Shakes to his daily routine, his muscles would also be improving. The Cinch shakes are proven to retain muscle mass, which we ALL need!

I also want to mention that prior to Shaklee, Joe had been researching and using "other brands" for years, thoroughly convinced that he was taking the best possible nutritional products that money could buy, yet Shaklee is now changing his life! Changing brands really can change YOUR life, too. You can find the products he is taking here & here.

Please visit my FB page to read more Shaklee Health Success Stories. If you have your own story, please add it to this post or to the Facebook discussion board. Thanks so much!

At Shaklee, "Creating Healthier Lives" is not just a slogan. Changing brands really can change your life!!!

10/1/09: Today Joe told me that recently 3 people have told him he's looking better, and one of them was an MD!!!! Not his doctor, but an acquaintance.

10/21/09: I forgot to mention with the "season" upon us, Joe lives in an assisted living facility, where everyone gets sick and passes it around often to each other. Since starting Shaklee last year, Joe has NOT gotten sick! The winter of 2007 - 2008, before Shaklee, he was sick almost the entire season!

11/30/09: Joe gets his first cold in over 1 1/2 years. It was mild and lasted only 3 days, nothing like the last time he had colds...the entire winter.

Dr. Oz's 5 Suggestions to Prevention

Dr. Oz and his team of experts suggest these tips to help to protect your health. I am sharing some of his ideas from the show on 9/15/09 plus my own suggestions. 

1.) Wash your hands The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that hand washing is the number one way you can protect yourself. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. Aim for a minimum of 20 seconds. Whistle while you wash: you should be cleaning your hands for the approximate length of time it takes to complete a verse of “Happy Birthday.” An alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be used if a sink isn't nearby. And, I recommend these natural household cleaners.

2.) Eat probiotics! Probiotics are the good live bacteria found in fermented food products such as yogurt and soy products like miso and tempeh Eating these foods not only promotes the natural balance of healthy bacteria important for digestive health, it can stimulate the production of immune fighting chemicals from cells found in the gut. Dr. Oz said to take both pro and pre-biotics and when taken in supplement form, it is probably a better way of getting to your gut in live form. Opti-flora stays LIVE until it gets in your gut while 90% of most probiotics are killed by the stomach acid before they reach the gut! 

3.) Take Vitamin D Vitamin D is produced in the body during exposure to sunlight. During the winter we tend to get less exposure so vitamin D supplements are recommended. People who take vitamin D supplements have better luck staying healthy. I personally recommend and use the Rx For a Healthier Life to make sure I get my vitamin D3! 

If myself or anyone in my family starts to get sick (which is very rare) I minimally, always keep these things on hand to either stop the sickness process or to help us get through it faster and easier: my favorite electrolyte drink, Defend & Resist, Nutriferon and Opti-flora. And of course, a supply of energy tea and quick, healthy energy foods so that I don't have to cook when recovering! And the tea is wonderful anytime, gives me just the right amount of energy needed for anything!

New Evidence That Green Tea May Help Improve Bone Health

5 Ugly Truths You May Not Know About the Beauty Industry + Dr. Oz's Dangerous Beauty

5 Ugly Truths You May Not Know About the Beauty Industry from Treehugger.com  

1. Many skincare products contain chemicals toxic to the skin 

2. Companies that donate to breast-cancer research still use carcinogens in their products 

3. There are no safety assessments required for cosmetic products sold in the U.S. 

4. Many personal-care products contain toxic chemicals not listed on labels 

5. Not one of the mainstream beauty giants has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics pledge 

The movie, America the Beautiful, also exposes much of what is going on in the cosmetic industry and that it's all about their bottom line, not your health! Excellent movie!

For Healthy, Safe, Natural alternatives, I have been using these products since their inception in 1998 and other products from this company for over 30 years! I absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Today, Feb. 2, 2010, I'm adding Dr. Oz's take on this subject! On his show today, "Dangerous Beauty." It seems he agrees with everything I blogged about here back in Sept. 2009, including using completely safe products! 

Check out your own products at the Environmental Working Group website. You might be shocked.

Would you "change brands" to make money?

Tonight I did my first complete Opportunity Presentation in front of a group of more than 3 people! They tell me it went well. I must say, I know the program like the back of my hand and it is very simple!
Here are the 3 things this plan requires:

#1.) Become a Shaklee Gold Ambassador.

#2.) Change brands from the products you use everyday in your home already; household cleaning products, skin care, hair care, make-up, toothpaste, deodorant, vitamins, meal replacements, sports drinks, energy teas, you get the point, things you are already buying! The average family of 4 spends about $250 per month on these types of products. We ask that you redirect just about $150 a month of that same money, to make money (and to save money on the cleaners!)#3.) Find one other person per month who wants to change brands to make money and do what you are doing: become a Gold Ambassador, change brands, find one a month, make money.

That's all! On this plan you can make a CAREER INCOME of up to $100K in the first 15 months you are in business!! Join us today or send me a message for more info. I will even help you to do this! It's that easy!

You can do it fast, or you can do it slow, it's up to you, but why not get paid for using good quality products, rather than you paying large chain stores just for the privilege of buying and using their products? Have they EVER given you money back for referring people to their store? I didn't think so! At least they haven't given me any! Just think of this as a referral plan. That's what we do. We change brands, we love the products, we tell everyone about them, and we make money! I hope to see you on the way up :)
