5 Tips for Healthy Aging

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:15:00 +0000

The holiday's are right around the corner it's such a joyful time but yet can be stressful. Sometimes we tend to overindulge in high-sugar, high-fat, and artificially flavored and colored foods. We drink more alcohol than we should. And we're exposed to an extra load of environmental toxins: smoke in our fireplaces; cigar smoke at parties; artificial fragrances at the mall; and exhaust fumes from sitting in holiday traffic. All of these factors can contribute to the aging process, so don't let the holidays age you! It's never too late to change lifestyle habits that promote healthy aging.

Life-Changing Stories with VIVIX

Eye Sight Improves 2008-2009

After gradually losing his eyesight, our friend Rich was diagnosed with a rare, hereditary degenerative eye disease. He was seen at the U. of Minnesota and at the Mayo Clinic, but it wasn't until he was referred to the eye department at Iowa State University in Armesthat he was given the diagnosis. Sadly, there was nothing they could do for him.

In August, 2008 he decided to use VIVIX.

After being on VIVIX for a year, his sight returnedand the doctors in Iowa were amazed. He got his driver's license back and can do everything he used to do before losing his sight. He never misses a day of VIVIX and we are both so grateful to Shaklee for the amazing research they do and for the wonderful, life-changing products they make. Vicki Case

Itchy, Rough, Dark Brown Skin Meets VIVIX !
In April, 2010, Roy (80) and his wife Mary (76) from Blairsville, GA contacted me after their Chiropractor recommended that they use VIVIX.

His chronic itchy, dark brown rashes on his arms and legs were making his life very unpleasant. The meds the dermatologist prescribed had been unable to help him.
After taking 1 tsp of VIVIX a day for a month, all the dark brown skin on his left had had disappeared --- and his right hand was much improved. His skin was soft and supple. A new rash had appeared on his leg and disappeared in just two days. I went by to visit last week and the first thing he showed me was his hands.

After 4 months on Vivix (and the other RX for a Healthier Life Supplements) this man's skin disease has vanished -- Debbie Garrison

Vivix Results Story: A Day without a Headache

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:01:00 +0000

VIVIX Results Story: What a day would be like without a Headache!

I didn't know until three months ago!

Hello, my name is Gayle McBurney, and thanks to VIVIX I have my life back. All my life I have had headaches - migraines, to be exact. I never knew when they would happen, but when they did my day was gone, days too numerous to mention curled up in bed with the curtains drawn (the darker the better) - no radio and no noise of any kind - a bucket beside my bed, and a cold compress to help ease the pain.

When my migraine had finally subsided and my life would continue the next day, I felt that I got hit by a truck. My head would still hurt where the pain was. I visited my family doctor to see if she could help me so I could function as the headaches were starting to interfere with my job (always calling in sick or having to go home early). She gave me a prescription for medication that if I didn't have a drug plan I would not be able to afford. The meds helped with my headaches, providing I took them at the first onset of a migraine. Needless to say, I carried the meds with me everywhere I went.

My brother introduced me to Shaklee VIVIX and I started taking it on a regular basis, not knowing how it was going to affect my life in such a wonderful way. I have not had a headache or a migraine in over three months. I can't even begin to tell you what life is like without a headache - something I have never experienced before, and its great!

Thank you VIVIX, thank you Shaklee, and thank you brother!
Editors Note: Thank you Gayle for sharing this with the Shaklee Field!

Anti-Aging: Vivix made a difference for 90 yr. old mom

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 21:45:00 +0000

Here is a great Shaklee testimony ...

My Mom will be 90 years old in November. She and my Dad have been using Shaklee products for more than 25 years. They don't take a lot, but they have been consistent with what they do take - Vita Lea, OsteoMatrix, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, sometimes Nutriferon.

As with many elderly, my Mom started showing signs of short term memory loss 4-5 years ago - very slow progression, but nevertheless real - along with a general slowing down mentally and physically. She basically just wanted to sit around, take multiple naps during the day, and didn't seem to be motivated to get involved in daily activities, especially cooking (I think she got confused where things were in the kitchen).

Last Fall, I took them a month supply of Vivix and they began taking it right away. Toward the end of my stay - two weeks - I was in the kitchen starting dinner when my Mom came in and picked up a potato peeler and began helping me. That may not sound like much, but really it was huge - that hadn't happened in a long time.

Over the last year, after taking it and not taking it, I now send it to them in England regularly and not only does my Mom LOVE Vivix, but my Dad (who is never easy to convince of anything) is a firm believer that Vivix is making a noticeable difference.

My Mom is so much more involved and engaged in all around her, including helping my Dad with the cooking. She even will initiate activities herself now. This is a huge improvement and I can tell the difference in her when we speak on the phone. I return in September for another visit and am excited to see even further improvement.

Dietary intakes of berries and flavonoids in relation to cognitive decline

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:22:00 +0000

A study in official journal of American Neurological Association evaluated long-term intakes of flavonoid-rich berries and cognitive function in 16,010 older women from 1995 to 2001.

Higher intakes of blueberries and strawberries were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline.

(image credit http://gapersblock.com )

As few as 2 or more servings per wk were associated with a modest delay in cognitive aging by as much as 2.5 years!

Anti-Aging-Resveratrol: We all have a Choice!

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 13:58:00 +0000

Great News about Resveratrol!

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:37:00 +0000

I just received a letter from Dr Jamie McManus MD, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education at Shaklee Corporation. Basically it's her job to help educate us as Shaklee Distributors.

I guess there was a significant HUMAN study just released (published), supporting the health-enhancing benefits of resveratrol that may address many of the chronic age-related diseases! Pretty Powerful eh?

The study was published in Cell Metabolism. Duch researchers documented taking a resveratrol supplement for 30 days significantly lowered multiple markers associated heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic diseases! The markers included inflammation, improved mitochondrial capacity, lowered blood pressure and a BIGGY blood glucose.

Dr Jamie talks about inflammation being at the root of literally hundreds of diseases, and chronic inflammation leads to accelerated aging and age-related diseases.The study also showed reductions in triglyceride levels and blood pressure.. both associated with heart disease risk. Diabetes is another one of those diseases all too common now days, and until now the only way to reduce your risk of diabetes has been calorie restriction and weight loss. This study showed adding a high potency resveratrol supplement might improve your insulin sensitivity and lower blood-sugar levels.

Too tired to Exercise? This study may provide and answer. The study participants showed significant increases in markers of mitochondrial function. Dr. Jamie says, "Mitochondria are you body's energy producers that tend to decrease in number and output as we age." The increases seen in this study were similar to those seen with endurance training! So this means you get some of the energy benefits associated with exercise by boosting your mitochondria. Do this simply by taking your resveratrol supplement (VIVIX)!!!

I don't know about you but I won't miss taking my Vivix! (98% pure resveratrol)

Here is Dr. Jamie's entire letter word for word. http://images.shaklee.com/library/76158_resveratrolorderdrop.pdf

Anti-Aging Testimony

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 02:15:00 +0000

Feb 2008 Louise was diagnosed with Colitis and Diverticuli, but tests also showed a possibility of Chrons. She was on various medications throughout 2008 and 2009 with nothing really helping.

One day in late January of 2010 a friend called and talked to Louise about Vivix and offered to send more information along with testimonials. After reading the material, she ordered Vivix and after a month she thought is wasn't going to help but remembered her friend saying to try it at least for 2 months. She started taking Vivix in Feb and after 2 months she could see improvement and by 3 months Louise was symptom free and still is!

Before taking Vivix she had diarrhea, bloody stools, and mucus discharge to the point she didn't leave the house but for a short time. She was basically living on toast, yogurt and drinking only water. She had no energy. Now she watches her diet but can eat most things, drinks mostly water and occasionally tea or soda. I am now able to do my regular activities. Louise said, "I'm so thankful for that call from my friend in 2010."

Resveratrol Anti-Aging and Eye Issues

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:08:00 +0000

Here is a testimony from a Shaklee Distributor showing the power of preventing disease before it gets a hold on your precious eyes.

About five years ago, my optometrist said he saw wrinkling in the back of my eyes, which was likely the first sign of macular degeneration. I went home and immediately started taking 4 Carotomax a day. The next year, he shook his head and said, "Last year I saw something, but this year I don't see anything." When he asked what I was doing, I told him about Carotomax. He
was impressed, and he does know Shaklee, as his wife buys some products from a friend.

Year before last he saw the beginnings of caratacts, the very slow growing kind, around the perimeter of my eyes. This past summer I went in for my check-up, and he told me I have "very young eyes." I have been on Vivix since the New Orleans conference. He didn't mention cataracts; I can only assume this is thanks to Vivix.

Resveratrol Anti-Aging: Vivix short story that gives goose bumps.

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 14:05:00 +0000

This is a very inspiring short story for those who Cancer has creeped into their life.

In October, 2006, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had 2 lumpectomies, went through chemotherapy, herceptin, radiation and I had a partial hysterectomy. When I finished chemo, I restarted Shaklee’s NutriFeron, VitaLea, Osteomatrix, and Sustained Release Vita-C .... PLUS 6 months prior to my last check up I started on VIVIX. My physician, who is the Head Surgical Oncologist in the Breast department at Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, Florida, said my blood work and exam were excellent! I asked if they were any closer to a cure for breast cancer. The doctor said “No”, but that a substance has been found to treat the individualized expression of breast cancer, for nonhormonal breast cancer. They feel it will prevent the re-occurrence of breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Moffitt has just put in for a one-million dollar grant for a clinical trial of this substance. When I asked “What is the substance?”, the doctor said it was RESVERATROL.I said I have been taking Shaklee’s Vivix (Resveratrol) for 6 months. The doctor looked surprised, and said “You’re the first person that we have ever seen that had such great results with Resveratrol. I will request for you be a patient advocate during the testing”.If the grant is approved I would be thrilled that I will be helping the Susan B. Komen Foundation in this study.

Taking Vivix, NutriFeron and the other supplements takes the edge off my cancer fears, knowing that they may prevent the re-occurrence of cancer.

Resveratrol, Grapes & Grape Juice Foods that fight Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:15:00 +0000

Both grapes and grape juice are rich sources of resveratrol, a type of natural phytochemical that belongs to a much larger group of phytochemicals calledpolyphenols.

The skin of the grape contains the most resveratrol, and red and purple grapes contain significantly more resveratrol than green grapes. Grape jam and raisins contain much smaller amounts of this phytochemical. Red wine also contains resveratrol. However, with AICR’s second expert report noting convincing evidence that alcohol is associated with increased risk for cancers of the mouth, pharynx and larynx, esophagus, breast (pre- and postmenopausal) and colon and rectum (in men), wine is not a recommended source of resveratrol.

Studies suggest that polyphenols in general and resveratrol, in particular, possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In laboratory studies, resveratrol prevented the kind of damage known to trigger the cancer process in cell, tissue and animal models.

Other laboratory research points to resveratrol’s ability to slow the growth of cancer cells and inhibit the formation of tumors in lymph, liver, stomach and breast cells. Resveratrol has also triggered the death of leukemic and colon cancer tumors.

In one series of studies, resveratrol blocked the development of skin, breast and leukemia cancers at all three stages of the disease (initiation, promotion and progression).

Beyond Resveratrol Anti-Aging Testimony

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 14:59:00 +0000

VIVIX

(Joint Pain and Swelling)

I purchased the VIVIX several months ago and have taken maybe three teaspoons here and there but none since late last winter. I just had no problem with growing older and besides, I was in pretty good health. After receiving a copy of the VIVIX testimonials I thought maybe I should try it seriously. I started around the 10^th of September.

While cleaning paint from under my fingernails one evening about a week later, I thought the my fingers looked more elongated, but thought I was imagining it. But every evening as I sat down to read I would look at my hands and think not. The joints in my fingers have been enlarged for several years now. I have taken the Joint Health Complex and Pain Relief regularly and never really had pain issues. After about two weeks I was sure something was happening because of the VIVIX. I had not mentioned anything to anyone, but at Sunday dinner I put my hands on the table in front of my husband and told him what I was seeing.

The elongated appearance had come from the swelling going down on the tops of my fingers. But additionally the swelling was receding at the sides of the joints. The middle joint of my little finger on my right hand has been much more enlarged than the other joints. It is still out of proportion to other joints, but the swelling reduction is huge.

The most visible reductions happened with the first month. The joints on my left hand are almost returned to normal. One of the fingers on my right hand looks funny now because the swelling is going down in an uneven manner, and the joints are looking a little crooked. Do I care?? Not!! I proudly tell everyone I see.

My husband and I attended a luncheon a couple of weeks after I had started taking VIVIX. One of the ladies attending mentioned that I looked so young. People have said this before to be polite. But she later came over to our table and said to me, ?I?m not kidding, you do look younger.? So I started looking in the mirror. I wear turtle necks all winter and each spring I look in the mirror and gasp. But now I looked and the lower lines at my neck are continually diminishing. When visiting my sister that weekend, she looked at me and said, ?Your jowls are gone.

Another unusual effect has been that I am hungry!!! For years I have taken my supplements with a large glass of orange juice; then eat an early dinner around 3:30-4:00 pm. By 11:00 am I am starved and eating something. But?I am not gaining any weight. Thank goodness!!

Besides this a couple of large age spots are diminishing slowly. And I am also seeing dark roots in my hair where only white has come in for several years. My skin is changing as well; much silkier. And my hair has become very silky. I am not a vain person so these last visible results alone would not have been a reason for me to use VIVIX. But these in combination with the joint results have surprised me beyond anything I could have imagined. Not to mention what all is going on inside where it is not visible. I have used many Shaklee supplements for approximately 28 years and know I am healthy because of that. But I have to say VIVIX really tops it all for me.

Resveratrol shows metabolic benefits for obese: Study

Resveratrol shows metabolic benefits for obese: Study: "Daily intakes of resveratrol – a compound from red wine – may improve the metabolic profile of people with obesity, according to a new study from Denmark."

Can you make it to Age 111?

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 20:19:00 +0000

Would you make changes to your lifestyle NOW if you knew you would live longer and better?

Did you know that the 4 major causes of death in the US are mostly preventable? That’s right, around 80% of deaths from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer can be prevented! How long and how well do you want to live?

First thing, stop smoking. You know that smoking is bad for you. Cigarettes lower your body’s ability to function properly. Don’t take my word for it – read about it at the American Lung Society’s website http://www.lungusa.org/stop-smoking and the American Cancer Society’s site http://www.cancer.org. This one change could be the most important thing you ever do. And one of the toughest.

Next, you might need to shed some extra weight. Being overweight may make you more susceptible to certain cancers as well as increasing your risk of diabetes. Being overweight puts extra stress on your joints and increases your risk factors for a lot of other health problems. Start slowly – try to lose just 10 pounds.

Drink plenty of good, clean water (http://barefoot.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=water). Toxins get stored along with your fat cells, so as you lose weight you also release these toxins back into your system. Water will help flush them out. Not having enough water affects you in many ways – ability to concentrate, feeling hungry when you are really thirsty, lack of energy, etc.

Get more active. Exercise has a lot of benefits and it actually gives you more energy. Increasing your activity level reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and yes, even cancer! Walk, bike, dance, find something that gets you moving!

If you have existing conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, manage them closely. Keep your body as strong as it can be. Read more at the American Diabetes Association’s web site http://www.diabetes.org.

Improve your diet. Eat less saturated fats and more grains, fruits, and vegetables. I know you have heard this before! Read more at the American Heart Association’s website http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG. Try to buy organic food whenever you can. Pesticides and hormones added to food can cause problems of their own. Read more at the Environmental Working Group’s web site http://www.ewg.org/ourfood.

Get your cholesterol levels down; the bad cholesterol that is. You can do this naturally with Cholestrol Reduction Complex. Oddly enough, alfalfa can help clean out the plaque build-up in your arteries. Watch your sodium intake too.

Your goal is to be as healthy as you can be so your body can ward off attacks. Imagine not getting sick in the first place. That’s easier on your wallet for one thing, which will likely reduce some stress. It also beats getting sick and then fighting to get better. Prevention is the key! If you don’t believe me, read more about the spread of a new germ that is resistant to antibiotics – you don’t want to catch this one: http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/health/medical/2010-09-17-1Asuperbug17_ST_N.htm.

Eliminate toxic exposures in the home. It makes sense, when you stop to think about it, that spraying cleaners with toxic chemicals in them all over your home, day after day, year after year, is going to have an affect on your health. Don’t think you use any products with toxic chemicals? Go to the National Institutes of Health website http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/index.htm and look up your favorite cleaners. Odds are, they are slowly poisoning you and your family. Use green, safe cleaners; here’s a sample of what I use (http://barefoot.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=50446).

Have regular check-ups with your doctor. Take charge of your health. Keep on top of things. Early detection of a problem will help you get back on track.

Let’s sum it up. Quit smoking. Lose some weight. Eat well. Drink clean water. Exercise. Keep healthy (diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels well-managed). Go green with your cleaners. Take one step at a time and find yourself living a vibrant, long life!

VIVIX - one of my favorites!
Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic is a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against cellular aging.
A 30–day supply of Vivix delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 3,000 glasses of red wine.
What does it do? It repairs your cells so they can operate better. The results? More energy! A lot of your results will depend on what your body needs to repair. Vivix speeds up the healing process in your body. Some people lose age spots. The grey/white hair of some people gains color back. Those with dementia can get some of their abilities back. It really is an amazing product!

Get Clean Water
This pitcher filters out 56 toxins including lead. Leading brands Brita and PUR filter out far less and do not get the lead out. Each Get Clean Water filter is certified to purify 80 gallons of water, twice as much as Brita and PUR.

Better Living Tip
Try going to bed 1 hour earlier than normal. See how that makes you feel after a week.

Franchise Business on Healthy Aging

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:35:00 +0000

This is a testimony from Jan C.
My husband Jim called today after meeting with his lipid specialist in Minneapolis. Once again his cholesterol numbers have significantly dropped! At the time of his cardiac arrest 20 years ago, his cholesterol was over 400. For years the number gradually went down. Two years ago it was 179 and last year, after a year of being on Vivix, it was 138. That's when his statins were cut in half. Today Jim's total cholesterol is 97.

Jim has struggled with the LDL (bad cholesterol) the most. He has a genetic condition that causes his body to produce too much of it. Originally the LDL was 240. For years he worked to get it to 140 and then to 120. It needed to be less than 100. After a year and a half on Vivix, it dropped to 90. Today it was 58 !!!!!

Jim's doctor made this comment: Nobody wants to deal with the problem. They just want to take a pill to have it go away. When that doesn't happen they get upset." He and his office staff consider Jim their poster child. Jim complies and does what's needed to be healthy, and we support him.

What Jim does each day:

1. Takes Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon, CoQHeart, Liver DTX Complex, and Joint Health Complex (had me order the new Cholesterol Reduction Complex right away, too!)

2. Runs 5 miles (has never missed a day of running in 20 years)

3. Drinks tea instead of coffee (Was addicted to coffee but switched to tea several years ago and dropped 30 points off his cholesterol total)

4. Is his own boss - so he can run and rest as needed (Quit a 20 year corporate job at time of cardiac arrest 20 years ago and located his office at home)

5. Makes decisions that eliminate as much stress as possible from his day.

Our youngest son Matt was 2 when Jim had the cardiac arrest. He got married on June 11 this summer. Twenty years ago, I never imagined that with 3 arteries 100% blocked and the 4th blocked 70%, that Jim would even live to see his youngest son grow up. It's good to note, too, that our three sons and I have supported all of Jim's efforts, and as a result we are healthier ourselves. Our family experience is proof that great health is primarily in the hands of the individual and the choices he or she makes. We've always chosen Shaklee nutrition, for example, and that has paid off royally for us. ~Jan

DR Maroon on Resveratrol and Anti-Aging

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:05:00 +0000

The book: The Longevity Factor How Resveratrol & Red Wine activate genes for a longer and healthier life by Joseph Maroon, M.D.

On Page 193 Dr Maroon writes this on Vivix: "There is growing evidence that a combination of resveratrol and other potent polyphenols might provide improved health benefits due to the synergistic properties of different polyphenols from different plant sources. Shaklee Corporation, a direct selling nutrition company has recently released a product called Vivix, which is described as a cellular anti-aging tonic. It contains a multi-source polyphenol blend.

In conversations with the company, they state that the blend includes 100 mg of 98 percent pure resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum long with a proprietary extract derived from the fresh pomace of muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) The company recommends 5ml per day of Vivix, which they state is equivalent to the abount of resveratrol found in 100 glasses of red pinot noir red wine.

The muscadine polyphenols in this blended product along with the added resveratrol, European elderberry extract, and purple carrot extract will increase the total overall polyphenol content of this product. A month's supply will cost a member $85.00. In Shaklee's accompanying literature for Vivix, they state that the Vivix ingredients were shown in a laboratory study to be 10 times more powerful in slowing a key mechanism of aging than resveratrol alone."

Also, on Page 70, the author expands on the value of the muscadine grapes and the advantages over European grapes. "Muscadine grapes are native to North America, and may be the only fruit that originated in the United States and nowhere else.

They grow almost exclusively in the southeastern United States. They thrive under adverse conditions, perhaps due to their thicker and tougher skins compared to European grapes....muscadines have an extra chromosome(twenty instead of the nineteen other grapes have).

These additional genes allow muscadine grapes to produce a unique phytochemical, ellagic acid. The ellagive acid polyphenol compounds that are in muscadine grapes are vitually absent in other grapes. Ellagic acid is used by the muscadine grape skin to make tannin called ellagotannins, whichis used as an antimicrobial by the plant.

Ellagic acid also has powerful antioxidant and anticancer properties....the polyphenols in muscadine grape skins have been shown to have positive effects in heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and other inflammatory conditions. One of the more interesting effects of muscadine products appears to be their inhibition of AGE protein formation."

Continuing, the author states:" Recently, a large nutrition, direct selling company, Shaklee Corporation, working with scientists from the University of Georgia, has created a product containing an extract made from muscadine pomace which is the remaining fruit solids after the water content is extracted. Specificaly, they are working with muscadine grape growers in order to secure grapes with large amounts of protective polyphenols including ellagic acid and resveratrol. By selecting muscadine grapes and by using a whole grape extraction process, they have reported that their extract has a significantly higher concentration of healthy polyphenols than found in the skins themselves."

The above are excerpts from the book "The Longevity Factor" The author Joseph Maroon, M.D. FA.C.S. studied medicine at Indiana University, and Oxford University. Dr Maroon is a world renowned neurosurgeon and former president of the Congress of Neurological surgeons, the larges society of its kind in North America. He is currently a professor and Heindl Scholor in Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Interesting to note: he is a lifelong athlete, competed in more than fifty triathlons, and three Hawaiian Ironman Championship competitions.

The book is heralded as a groundbreaking examination of new scientific research that holds the secret to weight loss, increased strength, endurance, memory, and a healthier, longer life.

I believe the author, Joseph Maroon, M.D. has no connection with Shaklee Corporation,and the references in the book to Shaklee Corporation and our product Vivix..serve as an excellent third party reference.

Hearing test and VIVIX testimonial

noreply@blogger.com (Cindy McAsey) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:06:00 +0000

This just in from Shirley a Shaklee Distributor..

Today I went in for my yearly hearing aid check up at the audiologist. He said that it has been a number of years since I had a hearing test and this is especially important considering my age. After the tests were completed he compared the results today with the previous tests. He said he didn't understand why the results of today's testing were so out of line with my previous tests. Then he showed me the comparison. He said my tests today showed my hearing to be ABOVE the "normal" line whereas my previous tests showed all my scores to be way BELOW the "normal" range. He said this can't be because no one has ever had this much improvement in their hearing in all the years he has been in this business. He said that something isn't right, no one has this dramatic improvement in hearing and especially considering your age.

Then I told him that I felt sure I had the explanation for the improvement - it's Vivix. Then I briefly told him what this product is and the testimonials Shaklee has received of vastly improved health because of this product. That it is so unique Shaklee has applied for patents. I asked him if he'd like for me to drop off information and science about this product. He said "yes".

I've gotta comment on this testimonial. It makes perfect sense to me too knowing that Vivix actually goes into the DNA of the cell and protects and repairs it. There is a reason it's called an anti-aging tonic... Who knows what it could do you for your body.
