I was invited to participate in the product trial for the new Basic all-purpose* formulation and I just HAVE to comment about the new product.

For the product trial, Shakle* sent two formulations.  The two products were shipped about a week apart.  The product trial was “blind” to me – that is, as a participant, I was not told if a sample was the current Basic cleaner* or a different formulation.

Shakle* sent instructions for use along with each product sample.  The instructions called for specific dilutions and uses for the sample.  For example, there were instructions on the dilution to wash windows, to wash floors, to wash mirrors, etc.  After using the product for about a week doing the various cleaning chores in the instructions, you completed a survey on the product’s performance.

(The Basic all-purpose cleaner* is part of the Healthy Home Pack special featured on Oprah's 'Green' show in honor of Earth Day.) 

testimony continues..

Before we get to the conclustion of the Bill Moyer story..

Great news to share about the response to the Oprah show.  You know, Shaklee Independent Distributors go about, day in and day out, sharing the special products they represent.  From Green Cleaners, to Patented Skin Care (including Anti-aging) to the #1 Nutrition products in the country, to Personal Care Products, Air Purification and Water Purification.  We are happy to do this.  We believe in the way that Dr. Shaklee chose to market our products, which is through network marketing so that they can be personally explained to the consumer.  It is very out of character for this company to get such national exposure, from a lady who draws one of the largest audiences of any celebrity five days per week.  People believe in Oprah, they like her.  They follow her.

The word that is circulating today is that the company phone lines are buzzing and the servers on the company website have been absolutely blown out.  The greatest part about this is that yes, people might be ordering 'because' of Oprah, but they are going to love these products for what they are.  Once they begin to use them, and see how well they clean, how easy it is to use them, learn about their safety, and realize the cost savings, they will be 'SOLD' on the basis of the products, not who referred them.  To me, that is the important part because this is why I am a Shaklee Independent Distributor.  The products change lives, they make a difference, and it is fun to share that.

The Healthy Home Pack was featured on Oprah's 'Green' show in honor of Earth Day, and I will honor the same special.

Bill Moyer hosted a television show a few years back, and we still have the same concerns he addressed in that show.   He reported that 'it' is a medical mystery marked 'urgent'.  The 'it' is the fact that across America, growing numbers of children are suffering from asthma, childhood cancers like leukemia, as well as learning and behavioral disabilities.  Scientists are searching for clues to the causes of these illnesses, and a growing body of research suggests that everyday Environmental toxins - what kids eat, drink, and breathe - may put them at risk.  These scientists are asking questions about the health risks to children growing up exposed to an ever-increasing number of untested chemicals in our environment.

Two disturbing things I heard just in the past two days.  One is that before most of us even leave our bathrooms in the morning, after doing the personal care tasks we do, we are exposed to over 200 chemicals (mostly untested and many potentially harmful).  Also, on the news they were talking about autism, and how the risk that your child will have autism is 1 in 66.  Wow, that is scary to me.  I had heard similar numbers not too long ago, and really fear these numbers will only get worse if we don't take action. 

These very issues are why we have alternative choices.  It is why Green Cleaning products like the Healthy Home Pack were featured on Oprah's 'Green' show in honor of Earth Day.

With all the buzz about Roger and Sloan Barnett being on Oprah I just about forgot to mention a new product that is sure to be a big hit!  It's called "Germ Wipes" . It is my understanding the Germ Wipes will be included in the new "Deluxe Green Clean Kit" coming out in the Spring Catalog. Here is the low down on this new product discovery...

*Salmonella choleraesuis (Salmonella) ATCC #10708 and Escherichia coli (E. coli) ATCC #11229
