Essential Tremors

I am 72 years old and have had essential tremors since my early 30's. The shaking and tremors became so bad that I had to quit my job as a lab technician in 1989. When in high school I could type 60 words a minute. For the past 15 years in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with my left hand and type one key at a time. At times, the tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating and drinking, but I made a really good "tossed salad".

I have faithfully used S****** supplements since November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was introduced. I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with B-Complex. There was very little improvement. I started taking VIVIX on August 23. In a week and a half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened. Now, at THREE WEEKS of VIVIX, my tremors/shaking are minimal! I have to learn to use my hands again—I have to learn to type again with all my fingers!!!

I was hoping a change would occur in two to three months on VIVIX, but NEVER expected these results in three weeks.

Diabetes

And Vivix! 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 S****** and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep.

Tremor

TREMOR IS GONE: My brother in law who is 75 and recently had some physical problems, got a strong tremor of his right hand. He started Vivix, his only S****** product —and within a few days his tremor is gone and he is writing normally again! He is duly impressed and thankful.

My Healing Journey: A Path Directed By God

In January of 2007 I was diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma, a particularly nasty type of cancer that attacks the lining of organs in the body. There are two types of mesothelioma, one attacks only the lining of the lungs and one attacks only the lining of the abdominal organs. After my first appointment with Dr. Lenzi at M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, I was found to have BOTH TYPES. This was confirmed by biopsies at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, and at M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

My prognosis was a maximum life span of 6 months from diagnosis if I had only the lung type and perhaps 9 months if I had only the abdominal type. But since it was so rare to have BOTH types, the doctor could only guess that I would live less than 6 months.

The doctor explained that there was no reason to do surgery for this type of cancer because the tumors multiplied at a faster rate than surgery could remove them. He offered to set me up with very strong chemotherapy on the chance that it might be able to slow the growth of the cancer a little, but he also told me that historically the chemo treatments did nothing to prolong the life of a mesothelioma patient.

I chose not to have any treatment at all, and Dr. Lenzi supported that decicion, recommending that I have regular CT scans to determine the growth speed of the cancer. I had decided that I was not willing to spend the last few months of my life so ill from treatments that I could not enjoy my time with family and friends.

I have a very strong faith (I am Pentecostal) and believe that God has the power to heal and still heals today. I began earnestly praying for a miracle. I was blessed to have a very strong network of friends and family who joined me in prayer; many of them felt strongly that I would be healed by God.

I expected that God would one day just zap me and it would be done! However, God had a very different path for me, and its this path I would like to share with you.

After researching many alternative forms of healing and many clinics, products and doctors, and praying about each one that crossed my path, I received a call from Kathy B., our upline sales leader in S****** Products. (We have been involved in S****** since my husband, Marvin, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1977.)

Kathy told me about a doctor in her group, Dr. Elena Morreale, from Tampa, FL that had been having great success with natural cancer treatment.

While I was still talking to Kathy I started to feel very strongly that this was the path I was to take. I made an appointment with Dr. Morreale two weeks from that day.

During my wait to see Dr. Morreale, I had very strong misgivings about the protocol she recommends (Kathy had told me some of it). Since it involved a strict diet with NO SUGAR, I was uncertain if I could follow it. I really didn?t think I could live without eating some form of sugar! After much prayer and soul-searching, I decided that if this was the path God chose for my healing I would do it, no matter how much I had to change my life. I had to decide at that moment that I REALLY wanted to live.

When I first went to Dr. Morreale I noticed a sign in her office that said, "The Power that made the body, heals the body. It happens no other way." I was very impressed with this philosophy (fact, actually) because I do believe that God has already given us everything we need to be well. We just have to have enough self-control to follow His plan. And that is where I had failed, and what I had to do.

Dr. Morreale evaluated my health, rated my tumor markers at 10 and 10 (the highest they could be rated, indicating active, growing cancer), and started me on a strict protocol that included an all-organic diet with very little meat (only organic chicken or turkey occasionally), NO sugar of any kind (including honey, cane, molasses, etc.), NO artificial sweeteners with the exception of Stevia (a leaf extract), soy and whey protein supplements, many vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, and homeopathic drops. I also purchased a far-infrared sauna which I used daily (Dr. Morreale did not require this, but said it would be helpful). I used a small rebounder-type trampoline daily and had lymphatic massage three times a week when possible.

When I went to Dr. Morreale I was an insulin-dependent diabetic; I took two shots and four pills daily for diabetes. I also had mild hypertension.

In only a few weeks on this protocol I began to show signs of the cancer retreating! My tumor markers went to 7 and 8, then 4 and 5. My death date, June 2007 passed and instead of being dead I was feeling better all the time!

I continued to have follow-up CT scans at M. D. Anderson, and they asked me to fill out an extensive survey during this time on how I felt about having a very short time to live, and how they could help. Since I was only supposed to live a few months, the survey was stopped after June 2007. The scans were continually showing no growth in any tumors, and no new tumors were developing!

Then in September 2007 Dr. Morreale detected a slow-down in my healing. She adjusted the supplements and drops, etc., to allow faster progress. In the same month, the CT scan at M. D. Anderson showed what they thought might be slight growth in two of the tumors in the abdomen, but no change in the others.

By March 2008 Dr. Morreale found that my tumor markers were both at ZERO, which indicated there was NO LIVE CANCER left in my body. The CT scans at M. D. Anderson in March 2008 indicated no growth in any tumor, and the tumor near my liver that had been growing in the last CT scan was GONE! In addition, the doctor there said there was no reason for me to return for further scans unless I wanted them!

In addition to stopping the cancer, this health protocol has healed my body in other ways; Instead of 2 shots & 4 pills a day for diabetes, I take 1/2 of 1 pill! Also my blood pressure medicine has been cut in half.

Marvin has supported me in this 100% and has also benefitted from the protocol. He was taking 10 prescriptions when he started this (for hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, etc.) and now he is down to 3 a day! That's WONDERFUL! And we both feel so much better than we did just a year ago!

I have no idea what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future, and I plan to continue this protocol until I have permanently defeated the cancer, diabetes and whatever other ailments this old body has to fight.

I do not presume to believe this is everyone's answer; however, I know it worked for me and I wanted others to know there is an alternative to giving up. With faith, prayer and works I believe the battle against cancer can be won.

God bless you all!

Polymyalgia

I also had polymyalgia and the first thing my doctor did was take cedrate test. She put me on prednisone (smallest dose possible). She had me take lots of alfalfa, the pain meds and cream. I finally got over it, but keep taking all S******'s pain supplements and cream to put on pain anytime I get any. And now since Nutriferon came out, I don't get any more pain from the polymyalgia.

Fleas - Indoor and Outdoor

We have always (about 20 yrs) used Basic H, now Basic H2 to kill bugs, fleas, what ever... both outside and inside. I have sheep working dogs and before S****** would get fleas. I will NOT have fleas... my dogs are inside with me at all times and because I am the sole farm-animal person, they are extremely important to me.... "my lifeline."

Spray the lawn (grass) outside with Basic H2 in hose attachment... lots of formulas on Team 21.

Inside I just use the cleaner-formula spray bottle... If I think I notice any fleas, I grab the bottle and spray down floor, carpet, couch, whatever... make sure to get corners, entrance ways both inside and out. Don't forget vehicle even if dogs don't get in there... fleas can "take a ride" with you as you walk to vehicle.

Shampoo dogs with Basic H2...

I do wash their bedding every day... have old blankets, pads, even soft saddle blanket found at thrift store, works great and easy to wash. Every morning, grab bedding from cages, spray down inside, add new bedding, throw old bedding into wash machine... Clean, smells good, no bugs, no mud which we can have alot of in rural, rural Portland, OR area.

I would never use flea collars or the flea stuff you put on animals... why poison them? They're too important to me... my dogs live long lives... said goodbye to my Paco (small Kelpie Australian Sheep Dog) this January after 17 years and he was 3 yrs old when rescued him. He saved me from getting hurt soo many times and thought it was fun to save me millions of steps working with the animals. Shaklee really helped him.. especially the pain products... you would have never known he was that old except for his face turning white. He was active, full of mischief until the last couple weeks. Last few months couldn't hear very well... but sometimes I think it was selective hearing loss!

Also, my Jody cat, lived 21 yrs, 8 mon. And was same way... Full of life until last two weeks... Thank you S******.

So guess I'm saying... if your animals are important to you... keep bad things away from them and let S****** help keep them healthy. Then they can give you so many more years of loyalty.

Shaklee Garlic for Dogs

I give my giant breeds two S****** Garlic a day, no fleas, no worms, no ticks. Bath them in Basic H to rid them of the current fleas then start the regime. I have done this for years and no longer even check for worms as I did for several years after I started the Garlic and never had any. My groomer is using it too as she says my dogs are the ONLY ones she baths that do NOT have fleas or ticks; all her other clients use the poisons and still have fleas and ticks!

Fleas Indoors and Outdoors

It might help others to know that spraying your lawn with Basic H2-1:100
dilution has killed the fleas in our yard-when we lived in Miami - we used
Basic H at 1:50 dilution-you must repeat the spraying every 7 days for 21
days-in order to kill the newly hatched out eggs-it works. We did this once
a year and had no flea or tick problems-no cinchbugs either. We also washed
our dogs and cats in S****** dish soap-or diluted Basic H-and they were
fine. Again with inside spraying you must spray every 7 days for 21 days-be
faithful and you will get the flea problem under control. If you have pets
that go outside and roam free-they will bring home new fleas so you may have
to continue the every 7 day thing-\\Hope this helps.

Rotator Cuff

My Rotator Cuff Testimony

My name is Dorothy Robertson. I live in Toledo, Ohio. Last year at the London International Convention in August, I took a very hard fall and tore my rotator cuff. I had taken a bottle of Osteokenetics (now Joint Health Complex) with me so I started taking 6 a day. After the week in London, my sister and I traveled on to Scotland for another week.

When I returned home 2 weeks later, I immediately went to my family doctor who took an x-ray, and upon seeing the results, sent me to an Orthopedic Specialist, who ordered an MRI. He told me that I had waited too long because it was more than just a little tear that they could have easily repaired...my rotator cuff had torn completely off. He said he didn't know what to do as there was nothing to attach it to (bone on bone, nonrepairable).

I continued taking my 6 Osteokentics a day. By the time they arranged all of my appointments and the MRI was completed, it was the 2nd of October. When I went back to the Orthopedic Surgeon, he was in awe of the difficult movements I could make with my arm (circles, reaching up, arms behind me, etc.). Even the Sports Doctor said he was seeing it with his eyes but he still couldn't believe it! Even so, I asked if I would ever be able to lay on my right side again (I sleep on my right side); they said NO, they were sorry to say that would not be a possibility. I refused to accept this, continued to take my 6 Osteokenetics (plus all my other supplements of course).

It is now May and while I am still not 100%, I am definitely 75 to 80% improved and CAN lay on my right side! I am confident that with time and the 6 Osteokenetics a day, I will be completely O.K. Actually, I am thinking of increasing it to 8 a day as I heard our President, Bob Schultz, say he is taking 10 a day. Perhaps this will speed my recovery even more.

Hope this helps you because I have heard so many people say that even with the surgery and rehab exercises, they were still in some pain. I have NO pain and am improving daily. This is my right shoulder and I am right handed. I have been able to do housework, wash walls, etc. with some limitations. I have been in Shaklee 30 years and this is just one of several personal "miracles" that I have experienced with the Shaklee supplements. I knew Dr. Shaklee and continue to thank him in my prayers for starting this wonderful company that has been a true blessing to so many people!

Hormonal Migraines

When I added the GLA it did it for me. Got rid of migraines that I'd been having for over 40 years. They were like clockwork every 9 days. I started with about 4 a day. Now I take 1 or 2 a day. What a relief to be rid of those things! I think they were hormonal, as they started up wen I was 13 yrs old. At first they were just on the first day of my period, then as I got older, they escalated to every 9 days.

I have not had even one migraine since Shaklee came out with GLA and I started taking it!
