Benefits of Soy Protein Below are notes from a seminar that Dr. Nasr did in Milwaukee Wisconsin on the benefits of soy. For the particular soy that Dr. Nasr recommends click on Soy Options
Dr. Nasr has a B.S. in Agronomy; M.S. in Biochemistry of anti-oxidants and a PH.D. in Pharmacognosy(science of bio-active products). He received his M.D. from Rush Medical College in Chicago, followed by Internal Medicine and Cardiology fellowships from Chicago Medical School. He is a member of the American College of Nutraceuticals and the American College of Preventive Medicine and is Director of the Medical Care & Diagnostic Center, Lake Villa, Il 847-356-9009. Dr. Nasr uses Shaklee Soy exclusively because it has the very best and most complete soy protein and isoflavone content. You can feel so very good about Shaklee’s soy protein, and how we can help so many people who are looking for ways to improve their health.
1. Optiflora and Soy Protein increase the absorption of protein, decrease gas and discomfort and decrease cholesterol by 23% 2. Sixty (60) studies have been conducted showing soy protein increases bone density more than just Calcium Magnesium does. 3. Two studies show that soy and vitamin E, together, decrease LDL (bad cholesterol) by 40% and that is 17% greater decrease than Zocor and Lipitor 4. Four studies show that soy protein inhibits oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol) by 40%. When cholesterol oxidizes, it becomes “sticky” and in this condition is when it can attach to blood vessel walls. 5. Soy prevents gall stones. It doesn’t dissolve them but it prevents them. 6. Soy prevents kidneys from damage. Lots of animal protein may be hard on the kidneys, but soy protein protects the kidneys 7. French fries at major fast food establishments are crispy. That is a value for the store. Some french fries are coated with a protein substance that when combined with the sugar in the potato and then heated, give them added crispness. Unfortunately that combination of sugar, protein and high heated fat produces a carcinogen. Probably a good idea to avoid all French fries. 8. Shaklee’s protein includes valuable protein and isoflavones that are not present in other soy proteins produced with heat or chemicals. Shaklee’s low heat - water wash process keeps the isoflavones in the protein. Isoflavones are natural cancer fighting ingredients that occur naturally in soy. 9. Soy’s protein and Isoflavones inhibit the mutated cell’s ability to make an enzyme that would cause the cell it to reproduce. 10. Soy inhibits the cancer cell from making the body provide it with additional blood supply (additional blood supply is called angiogenesis). 11. Soy increases the killing effect of the white blood cells (phagocytosis). 12. Soy’s amino acid Lysine when combined with Vitamin C decreases Colon Cancer by 90%. 13. The flavanoids (like those in Shaklee’s Flavomax) when combined with Soy Protein are synergistic (they work even better together) and decrease breast cancer 10 fold. 14. Beta carotene (like those in Shaklee’s CarotoMax) when combined with Soy Protein and Calcium with Vitamin D are 10 times as effective at preventing cancer cells from getting an addition blood supply. 15. Women in the Orient get about 80mg of Isoflavones a day….women in US and Europe get about 1.0 mg. That’s an 80% negative difference for US and Europe. 16. Soy protein helps the differentiated cell (bad cell) convert back to a normal cell.
Dr. Nasr also listed the several forms of protein and the length of their chain of Amino Acids. The shorter the chain, the more quickly the Amino Acids can be absorbed and utilized 1. Soy has the shortest chain and takes less than an hour ....Shaklee's Soy Options 2. Fish is next. 3. Chicken takes about 4 hours. 4. Beef takes about 5 hours. 5. Pork takes about 6-8 hours to digest

Research shows that getting the omega-3s found in a 6-ounce serving of fatty fish like salmon could reduce the risk of heart failure by as much as 38 percent and your all-cause mortality rate drops by 17 percent!
Heart Helper
Hearts naturally lose some blood-pumping ability as a normal part of aging. But with heart failure, the decrease is made more severe -- usually due to another health condition. Yet there’s plenty you can do to keep your body healthy and avoid a weak heart. In a large study, men who ate fatty fish such as salmon or herring once a week had the lowest rates of heart failure. Regular exercise and a generally healthy diet are also good choices for your heart. Find out how drinking wine with your fish could help to boost the omega-3s in your blood.
The Good Fat
Researchers think that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish are what help the heart by improving triglycerides, blood pressure, and heart rate. And it may not take much fish to get the effect. In fact, in the recent study, eating more than one serving of fish per week didn’t seem to provide additional benefits. And if you’re worried about mercury levels, read this list of the top five omega-3-rich, low-mercury fish.
Do fears about mercury keep you from reeling in the health benefits of fish? If so, you could be missing the love-your-heart boat.
Soon-to-be or currently breastfeeding moms need to be especially careful to avoid excess mercury. Still, most people can do their heart and body right by eating one or two servings a week of omega-3-rich fish that is relatively low in mercury. Unfortunately, most fish contain some mercury, thanks to industrial processing. But the less time fish spend simply living in a mercury-laden environment or eating other fish containing mercury, the lower the contamination levels will be. So for low-mercury fish, we're talking small fish that don't eat many other fish (or fish meal) and don't have a long life span.
Here's the list of fish to avoid:
King mackerel: 0.73 parts per million mercury concentration
Shark: 0.99 parts per million mercury concentration
Swordfish: 0.98 parts per million mercury concentration
Tilefish (Gulf of Mexico): 1.45 parts per million mercury concentration
Keep in mind that oil content estimates can be fairly rough, despite the best research efforts. A fish-oil supplement is a surefire way to get the omega-3 fatty acids you want and need.
Keeping a healthy dose of omega 3's in your system can cut your risk of Alzheimer's disease by 60 percent!
The New Standard in Purity and Full-Spectrum Potency

Yogurt
Since the earliest days of the Israelites, sour or curdled milk (or curds) was mixed with honey, flavored with dates, raisins, grapes or other fruits or nuts. Those curds, many Bible scholars believe, were what we now call yogurt.
Tradition says an angel promised Abraham that he would live a long life if he ate the biblical version of yogurt. He lived to be 175 years old!
Today, in parts of Turkey, Armenia and some of the more remote regions of the Caucasus Mountains, there is an unusually high number of very old people. Men and women often live well beyond 100 years while maintaining healthy, active lifestyles.
The reason is they eat plenty of yogurt. The longevity theory has never been tested on humans. But when scientists with the US Department of Agriculture were researching the effects of yogurt on salmonella infections in mice, they discovered one astonishing side effect: the mice that were fed yogurt did more than beat the infection – they lived much longer than those that were not given yogurt.
Yogurt is highly regarded all around the world as a super source of bone-building calcium. It may prevent colds and allergic reactions, fight cancer and strengthen the body’s immune system. It also lowers bad cholesterol levels, prevents dangerous intestinal infections, improves bowel function and blocks ulcers.
Research has shown that once inside the intestinal tract, the lactobacilli in yogurt embarks on a search-and-destroy mission. Its target is E. coli bacteria that sneaks into our bodies, multiplies and wreaks havoc on the entire digestive and elimination system. E. coli makes us sick. In infants, it can cause diarrhea which can become fatal.
Yogurt also helps to maintain a normal balance between the “good” and “bad” bacteria that are constantly present in our bodies. Just a little dab of yogurt may be enough to cure most of the general gastrointestinal disturbances that are caused by a poor diet or infections.
Yogurt puts the bacteria we need into our systems and reactivates the energetic lactobacilli. With all the bacteria, yogurt is also a natural antibiotic, known to head off such diseases as dysentery and influenza.
Not all yogurt is the same, much of the yogurt available today has many additivies, artifical sweetners and/or sugar in different forms so it's not listed as the first ingredient. Food companies have become very sly when it comes to making a product "look" healthier than it really is. So what options do you have? You can purchase organic plain yogurt and add your own honey & fruit etc. Or a simplier way to get the good bacteria guaranteed delivered live to your intestines is to take Optiflora as part of your daily routine. Optiflora is included in Shaklee's Vitalizer product or packaged as a seperate supplement.
Shaklee's Optiflora is a revolutionary two product colon care system that supplies both acidophilus and bifidus. The first product is a prebiotic in a pleasant-tasting drink mix that provides nutrients, which selectively feed the friendly bacteria.
The second product—the probiotic is a unique patented, seamless capsule that will withstand the shipping and storing process and the acidic environment of the stomach, guaranteeing the delivery of 500 million live beneficial microflora to the intestines. No other product on the market guarantees live delivery of microflora to the intestine.
Tests show that many of store bought brands do not make it live to your door, much less to your colon. Most of the microflora alive in these products at time of manufacture are killed off long before they reach the intestine. Using our patented colon care system to build your microflora to optimum levels can help:
* Bad breath * indigestion * constipation * diarrhea * heart burn * ADD/ADHD * candida * gas * yeast infections * headache * psoriasis * food/chemical allergies* cold sores * eczema * colitis/IBS* bloating * acne * autoimmune diseases* parasites * colon/rectal cancer
Everyone can benefit tremendously by increasing his or her intestinal flora. Taking just this one product alone everyday will help you’ll experience a whole new level of health.

Lets face it we are what we eat... Have you ever eaten one of those big fat juicy McDonalds hambugers? I think most of us have. What a bag of greesy potato chips. The liver works harder when it's dealing with heavy, greasy, refined foods. Unfortunatly the garbage that goes in our body doesn't always come out completly. Did you know with a proper detox some folks can loose 20 lbs of weight? Generally that weight is noticed most around the middle. (belly fat)
Detox or cleansing diets can include water, potions, fruit and vegetable juice, raw food, herbal supplements or a combination of approaches. Proponents say they're necessary because our bodies take a lot of abuse from modern life. Conventional doctors, meanwhile, say the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin are perfectly capable of detoxifying on their own. At the very least, there may be an emotional benefit associated with starting over. To detox safely you can consume lots of fresh, raw and organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes nuts and seeds. The hard part is finding products are actually what they say they are. The regulations for "organic" labeling are pretty loose to say the least!

Garlic
It’s one of the world’s oldest healing foods. It was being used both as a favorite food and as a powerful medicine centuries before Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness.
Garlic and its cousin the onion were regarded highly for both health-giving and magical qualities in ancient cultures. Garlic was one of the first foods to be deliberately cultivated, although wild varieties grew in abundance.
Evidence of its healing powers is detailed in 4,000 year old records from the ancient kingdom of Sumeria. Depiction of garlic bulbs have been discovered on walls of Egyptian tombs that date back to 3200 B.C. – centuries before Joseph and his brothers settled in Egypt.
During that same period, ancient records reveal that garlic was the principal ingredient in many remedies that Egyptian healers prescribed as cures for headaches, sore throats and other complaints.
By the time of Moses, garlic was already being used as an anticoagulant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agent, as well as a relief for flatulence, a diuretic, a sedative, a poultice and as a cure for internal parasites.
At least 67 different varieties of garlic and onions have been identified as growing in the Holy Land, so it’s little wonder that the ancient Israelites developed a fondness for it centuries ago. It may for health reasons that the Talmud specifies that several different foods are to be seasoned with garlic regularly.
Research suggests that garlic may help protect against heart disease and stroke by lowering blood pressure. It contains allylic sulfides, which may neutralize carcinogens. In fact, garlic has been linked to lower rates of stomach cancer too.
The Environmental Nutrition Newsletter published evidence from five clinical trials showing that ½ to one clove per day lowered blood cholesterol levels an average of 9% in people with borderline and high cholesterol.
Scientific interest in the healing power of garlic has exploded so much over the last decade that the National Library of Science now lists nearly 150 papers published on garlic’s ability to maintain good health.
In various studies, garlic powder, aged garlic extracts and fresh garlic all have had positive effects in preventing cancer in animals; improving diabetes management; slowing the growth of human cytomegalovirus; preventing fatigue; and relieving stress more effectively than the addictive tranquilizer, Valium.
As little as half a raw clove will boost the body’s natural protection against blood clots, which cause heart attacks and strokes. And it takes only two raw garlic cloves a day to lower cholesterol levels in heart patients.
The ingredient that gives garlic its strong smell is a chemical called allicin. That also makes it such a potent antibiotic. In hundreds of experiments, allicin extract from raw garlic has destroyed the germs that spread such illnesses as botulism, tuberculosis, diarrhea, staph, dysentery and typhoid.
One scientist reports: “Galic has the broadest spectrum of any antimicrobial substance we know of. It’s antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiprotozoan and antiviral.” Some researchers say that one medium-size garlic clove has as much antibacterial power as 100,000 units of penicillin.
Japanese scientists have distilled an antibiotic medication called Kyolic from raw garlic. Because it was used so commonly as an antibiotic by Russian army medics during World War II, it became known throughout all of Europe as the “Russian penicillin.” An astonishing 500 tons of garlic were trucked into Moscow to combat one influenza epidemic in the 1950’s. European doctors still prescribe garlic to ward off colds, pneumonia, whooping cough and a wide array of intestinal disorders.
Another natural ingredient in garlic called alliin is changed into the antibiotic substance, allicin, when garlic is chewed, chopped or crushed. Animal tests in Japan indicated that fresh garlic might be an effective weapon against a form of breast cancer. And another finding from the same suggested that garlic is probably a better antioxidant than vitamin E, one of the top antioxidants known to slow the aging process.
At the M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston, investigators looked at sulfur compounds from both garlic and onions and concluded their ingredients blocked the formation of carcinogens that lead to colon cancer. Meanwhile, the National Cancer Institute has announced that the sulfur in garlic is high on its list of potential natural “chemo preventives.”
Garlic is also heart-friendly. Scores of studies around the world have focused on garlic’s astonishing ability to fight hypertension, prevent embolisms, or blood clots and lower bad cholesterol. A study at Bombay Hospital’s Research Center in India found that those who ate several garlic cloves daily significantly reduced the risk of potentially deadly blood clots – even in patients who already suffered from coronary disease.
In even smaller doses, garlic drastically reduced cholesterol levels -= on average from a high of 305 all the way down to 218 over a 60-day period.
While cooking may destroy or reduce the allicin and weaken garlic’s potential, most of its therapeutic benefits remain intact. Cooked garlic still lowers blood cholesterol and works as a decongestant and cough medicine.
Before the birth of Christ, the Israelites were using garlic as a major ingredient in their food, as well as a medicine. In fact, they were so fond of garlic and consumed so much of it that in the Mishnah they proudly called themselves “garlic eaters.”
Whether cooked, raw or in extract form, garlic may be one of the most potent natural healing foods we have. The ancient people of the Bible knew that basic fact of life while some of our scientists are just rediscovering it.
Shaklee's Garlic Complex Supplement is gently processed, allicin rich... also provides the antioxidant properties of spearmint and rosemary.
Garlic is also known as a Blood Cleanser
As far back as 3000 B.C., the Babylonians understood the versatile benefits of garlic. It was well accepted as a medicine for a wide range of applications, including respiratory tract infections, skin disorders, parasitic infections and as an antibiotic and antimicrobial agent.
Today, numerous scientific papers also report on garlic's ability to cleanse the blood and ameliorate heavy metal toxicity, especially against such neurotoxin metals as mercury and cadmium, while another papers described the use of garlic in the treatment of hypoglycemia, intestinal disorders and a wide variety of other medical conditions.
However, not all garlic supplements are the same. Most of the processing methods used today, including crushed garlic powders, garlic oil capsules and aged odorless extracts, reduce or eliminate the allicin content. Allicin is the major active component of garlic and is needed to deliver the many benefits of garlic.
Shaklee’s Garlic Complex utilizes a unique, gentle; temperature controlled drying process, which retains ALL the allicin. The garlic is cooled to a level that temporarily inactivates the enzyme that forms allicin, and it’s only activated when the supplement is digested, providing the maximum benefits of garlic.
Shaklee’s Garlic Complex also has a dual-odor control formulation. Garlic breath” is due to garlic odor from the stomach. Shaklee’s Garlic tablet doesn’t break down until it is past the stomach and into the small intestine. “In addition, it contains a sweet-smelling blend of spearmint and rosemary extract for effective odor control
Moms Know it All - or Do They - How Toxic is Your Home?
Published by Tana Hamiter - Goes Green Mentor
Major consumer brands that have been heavily advertised for years, and those which grew out of the shiny postwar era have deeply embedded themselves in the American psyche. These days, more parents are choosing to play it safe around the house, and look for more natural green cleaning alternatives, but more education is needed.
In order to asses the level of consumer awareness about the potential dangers of toxic home cleaning products (and no doubt to support their own product development and marketing efforts), the pioneering natural products company Our Goes Green Company commissioned a Harris Interactive poll.
Harris called 1,108 moms across the U.S. with children under the age of 18 living at home. The results are interesting:
95% of moms agreed that household cleaning products can be made of toxic ingredients
61% agreed that the fumes from cleaning products bothered them
81% of the respondents agreed that household cleaning products may trigger asthma in children and adults
Despite this, 70% claimed they thought home cleaning products are safe to use around their own family anyway
Only 49% said they were worried that their own children may be exposed to household toxins when products are used as directed
Only 38% agreed with the EPA's scientifically supported claim that indoor air tends to be more toxic than outdoor air
Even so, 94% of moms said they would stop using their favorite cleaning product if they found out it may be harmful to their families' health
These results show that parents are definitely concerned about the possible negative effects of chemicals they use in the home, yet they are still not educated enough about the dangers of indoor air quality in general. Further, the lack of clear association between using common toxic chemicals and any possible adverse effects goes to show why the natural products industry has had uphill growth in recent decades.
As a Shaklee Distributer we have that to offer. Not only do we provide education but the highly researched products to back it up. Is your home a Goes Green Home? Here is one way to start, some are fragrence free as well. If not, and that’s ok, don’t beat yourself up. Just get started, one step at a time. Starter Packs.
Or if you are already a Goes Green Home, why not search of ONE more thing each month you can do to be even more friendly to the environment. None of us have it 100% yet, always room to grow. Being Healthy Fit 4 Life is more than cleaning supplies.
If you have not already done so you can take this Goes Green Test to get ideas on what your using and good alternatives.
I hope you boxed up and properly disposed of the toxic supplies you are clearing out. Please DO NOT put them down the sink or toilet. I honestly could not come up with a good answer to that when we changed over our homes, so I donated it all to the homeless shelters. I knew they had nothing and would be grateful for any assistance. Wished I could of just backed up a truck of Goes Green Products for them, but this was the best I could come up with.
Are you ready to make your home Non Toxic and Goes Green? If doing it in one big sweeping movement ~ fine. If not, then take it one day or even one week at a time. Perhaps start with Green Laundry; then move to Green Cleaning Supplies, and more. It is wise to be keenly awear that those sneeky toxins can tend to get back into your home, one here, one there. So keep your eyes open and if found, evict them without notice.
