Study Links Soy IntaketoIncreasedBreast Cancer Survival
In a new study published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association,http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/302/22/2437 (JAMA. 2009;302(22):2437-2443), the authors conclude that ?among women with breast cancer, soy food consumption was significantly associated with decreased risk of death and recurrence.? This research conclusion is an extremely important message regarding the positive research in support of soy food intake in women with existing breast cancer, and we were compelled to present this recent science related to the potential benefits of soy food intake and breast health.
Soy foods are rich in isoflavones, a major group of phytoestrogens thought to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Many studies have supported this hypothesis, and a study published earlier this year, http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/18/4/1050.abstract (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2009;18(4):1050-9), found that soy intake during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood was associated with decreased breast cancer risk in Asian American women.
However, the estrogen-like effect of isoflavones and the potential interaction with tamoxifen (a drug used for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer) have fueled concerns about soy food consumption among breast cancer survivors. But only limited laboratory and animal research has linked high levels of soy phytoestrogens to potential breast tumor cell growth, so we need to be extremely cautious before generalizing these results to humans.
To assess the effects of soy food intake on breast cancer outcomes, researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., and the Shanghai Institute of Preventive Medicine in Shanghai, China, collaborated on this study to evaluate the association of soy food intake after breast cancer diagnosis with total mortality and cancer recurrence.
The current study population of 5,033 participants originated from the Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study, a longitudinal, population-based study of 6,299 survivors in China between the ages of 20 and 75. These women were diagnosed as having primary breast cancer between March 2002 and April 2006 and they were recruited into the study about six months after cancer diagnosis.
Information on cancer diagnosis and treatment, lifestyle exposures after cancer diagnosis, and disease progression was collected six months after cancer diagnosis and reassessed at three follow-up interviews conducted at 18, 36, and 60 months following diagnosis. Total mortality and breast cancer recurrence, or breast-cancer-related deaths, were recorded, adjustments were made for influencing lifestyle factors, and soy food intake was treated as a time-dependent variable.
During the four-year follow-up, soy food intake (measured as soy protein or soy isoflavone intake) was inversely associated with death and recurrence. Those with the highest level of soy intake had a 29% reduced risk for death and a 32% reduced risk for recurrence compared with those having the lowest soy intake levels. Adjusted four-year mortality rates were 10.3% for those with the lowest and 7.4% for those with the highest soy intake. Four-year recurrence rates were 11.2% for women with the lowest and 8% for those with the highest levels of soy protein intake. The inverse association was evident among women with either estrogen-receptor positive or negative breast cancer, and was present in both users and nonusers of tamoxifen. As American subjects may respond differently to the effects of soy compared to breast cancer survivors in China, the potential benefit may not be the same.
The authors conclude that among women with breast cancer, soy food consumption was significantly associated with decreased risk of death and recurrence. As mentioned earlier, this is an important study that helps to clarify the safety of soy food intake in breast cancer patients. Scientists are still trying to understand all of soy?s hormonal effects. For example, it?s possible that soy acts like the breast cancer drug tamoxifen, which blocks the effects of estrogen, but additional research is needed to confirm or dismiss this possibility.
In addition to its potential breast health benefits, soy foods are a source of high quality protein nutrition and an excellent alternative to traditional protein sources that are often laden with excess calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. In fact, when considering the entire body of scientific research on soy, the majority of scientific data strongly supports the value of soy protein as part of a healthy diet for heart health, breast and prostate health, bone health, and for managing menopausal symptoms. So our position has been and continues to be: When soy foods are consumed as part of an overall healthful diet, they are exceedingly safe, nutritious, and potentially beneficial.
But because safety should be your number one concern and each individual is a special case, all women with a history of breast cancer, or those at high risk, should discuss the use of soy protein as part of a healthful diet with their physician.

For over 30 years, sound scientific research has been a Shaklee corporate strategy that has resulted in the publication of over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them in peer-reviewed scientific journals. At the Shaklee 2009 Global Conference in St. Louis, we unveiled the latest research studies sponsored by Shaklee, research that advances the state of science in critical nutrition and health issues and supports our scientific credibility and the Shaklee Difference. Here's a snapshot of our current scientific research portfolio:
1. The Landmark Study
Usage Patterns, Health, and Nutritional Status of Long-Term Multiple Dietary Supplement Users: A Cross-Sectional Study, originally published in Nutrition Journal, was a collaboration with researchers from the University of California at Berkeley's School of Public Health. This study was a landmark, first-of-its-kind study that supports the potential benefits of long-term supplementation, which was associated with more favorable blood levels of important nutrients and key heart-health biomarkers. More important, long-term users of multiple dietary supplements generally reported lower prevalence of disease, including diabetes and elevated blood pressure, when compared to those who used only a single multivitamin or no multivitamin at all.
2. The Vitamin D Study
The results from the Landmark Study included an interesting finding related to blood levels of vitamin D. Long-term dietary supplement users had a blood level of 131.5 nmol/L (52.6 ng/dL), well above the blood levels found in most Americans and well within the optimal range recommended by many vitamin D researchers. For example, in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2000?2004 (NHANES), depending on the specific population, 50%78% of Americans had blood vitamin D levels less than 75 nmol/L (30 ng/dL), a level thought to be inadequate to support optimal health. The higher vitamin D blood levels seen in Landmark Study participants might be of great benefit because, in addition to reducing the risk for osteoporosis, higher blood vitamin D levels have been linked to lower risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain cancers, all-cause mortality, infections, and more, according to recent research.
So we commissioned a follow-up to the Landmark Study. This new study was intended to compare vitamin D blood levels in long-term users, short-term users, and nonusers of vitamin D dietary supplements to compare and identify optimal vitamin D intakes, blood levels, and their impact on cardiovascular disease risk markers. In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from 257 study participants in August 2008, and the results were certainly impressive.
Figure1
Supplement Intake and Blood Vitamin D Levels (ng/dl)
Figure 2
Blood Vitamin D Levels and HDL Cholesterol (mg/dl)
25(OH)D mg/dl
Figure 1 shows that increased vitamin D intakes from supplements are associated with increased vitamin D levels in the blood, and Figure 2 shows that increased blood vitamin D levels are associated with increased HDL cholesterol levels. This is important because higher HDL cholesterol levels have been associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular disease. Other results showed that increased supplemental intake of vitamin D also was associated with decreased risk of metabolic syndrome and decreased waist circumference.
The study findings were so compelling that we are already moving forward with the next study, a clinical intervention trial that is intended to confirm that specific vitamin supplementation can increase vitamin D status and HDL cholesterol levels, and decrease risk for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
3. Polyphenol Study
Researchers have consistently shown that there is a significant increase in reactive oxygen species or oxidative stress in blood cells following the intake of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of a unique polyphenol-resveratrol blend on the modulation of this oxidative stress and inflammatory response to such a meal.
This randomized controlled study was conducted at the State University of New York at Buffalo?s Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism. Ten healthy subjects were given a 900-plus calorie, high-fat fast food breakfast and either the polyphenol-resveratrol blend or a placebo on different test days. Investigators then measured the biological impact on key genetic regulators related to antioxidant defenses, detoxification, cellular survival, and cellular aging for several hours after breakfast and supplement consumption.
The key measurement was that of NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), a key genetic regulator (or transcription factor) that protects cells and tissues from oxidative stress by activating protective antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. It's considered a powerful regulator of antioxidant and cellular defenses and is a critical activator required for genetic expression of key genes related to cellular defenses, for balancing oxidative stress, and for enzymatic detoxification.
Preliminary data analysis shows that Nrf2 activation was significantly increased in the presence of the polyphenol-resveratrol blend compared with the placebo for some hours following polyphenol-resveratrol blend and breakfast consumption. Furthermore, at least one key detoxifying gene regulated by Nrf2 also increased following the meal and supplement consumption, supporting a possible mechanism of action for how this polyphenol blend may be effective in helping to balance the oxidative stress induced by the high-fat meal. Although we don?t recommend intake of high-fat, high-calorie fast food meals, the study findings have significant potential benefits related to reduction of oxidative stress seen with intake of common American high-fat, high-calorie fast food meals.
4. Immune Function Study
Acute respiratory infection is the number one cause of death in children under age 5 resulting in 20% of childhood deaths worldwide. Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is an important agent of both adult and childhood respiratory disease causing croup, pneumonia, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis. Furthermore, it is an important agent of lower respiratory tract disease in children and it causes several of the most significant childhood viral diseases in both developed and underdeveloped areas of the world and there are no anti-virals or vaccines.
Conducted at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University?s Department of Pediatrics and of Microbiology and Immunology, this research had two distinct goals. The first goal was to develop and confirm a human airway epithelial (HAE) tissue system as an alternative and superior research model compared with the current animal model standard for exploring viral biology and immune function in the human lung. The second goal was to assess the effects of a unique botanical blend on immune response and pathways of inflammation in the HAE research model. Beneficial modulation of lung immunity could have a potentially significant impact on childhood respiratory diseases.
Gene microarray analysis conducted on HAE tissue treated with or without the unique botanical blend confirmed that the botanical blend was safe and impacted multiple gene signaling and communication pathways related to immune function and possible pathways of inflammation in the HAE tissue model. Gene systems that were consistently altered relate to natural killer cell activation, signaling, and proliferation. Of 113 genes known to be involved in NK cell signaling, an average of nine of these interrelated genes were significantly altered after experimentation in multiple test runs.
Sample Genetic Pathways Affected by Botanical Blend Administration
5. Meal Replacement Drink and Exercise Study
After age 35, adults may lose 3%?8% of their muscle mass per decade, and higher rates are commonly observed after age 60. Middle-aged men and women seem to be particularly prone to muscle loss, forfeiting about one-half pound to one pound of muscle every year of life. The ability to preserve or regain muscle mass and strength is an important factor with respect to aging, health, and quality of life. Research confirms that post-exercise protein intake benefits both muscle mass and strength. This study, conducted at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Mass., was designed to examine the effects of a strength-training program with and without a protein-carbohydrate meal-replacement drink?on body composition in healthy adult men and women.
Forty-six middle-aged men and women participated in a supervised, 23-week strength and endurance training program with a frequency of two to three days per week. Twenty-four participants consumed a meal-replacement drink following their training session, and 22 subjects did not receive the supplemental meal replacement. The drink provided about 270 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 35 grams of carbohydrate, and 24 grams of protein, and was fortified with free l-leucine.
After 23 weeks, all 46 exercisers showed improvements in body composition, including a 4.7-pound gain in lean (muscle) weight and 7-pound loss in fat weight. Subjects who ingested the post-exercise drink increased their lean weight by 5.5 pounds and decreased their fat weight by 9 pounds. Those who did not receive supplemental protein increased their lean weight by 3.9 pounds and decreased their fat weight by 4.9 pounds. Published in Fitness Management,Research Update: Protein and Body Composition showed that exercise participants who consumed post-exercise protein added 1.6 pounds more lean weight and lost 4.1 pounds more fat weight than the subjects who exercised without the benefit of the post-exercise meal drink.

It's worth your time to listen to this podcast on the Role of Nutrition and Cancer. Dr. Sandy Bevacqua stated in the podcast the best way to avoid cancer is to have an alkaline diet.
Here is a list of foods ranked for alkaline vs acidic. Which foods do you put into your body??
This site is especially for people who are seeking answers about Shaklee products and business.
It's a fact of the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis — meaning, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation.
Someone can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of “disease” conditions.
These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin)
Many times these organs are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness.
To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee invented HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination.
It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted online or in other media. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents. This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials.
It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day (in the case of Diverticulitis).
Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.
Herb Lax® You can hardly study the Shaklee product Herb-Lax® without gaining a profound respect for our founder Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century.
Shaklee Herb-Lax was the second Shaklee product he developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health. It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system.
The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. Dr. Shaklee made his signature product unique by blending an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its use - to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system.
DR Shaklee was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Something to consider is the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours, by taking less than the serving size, you effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea.
Why does herblax work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root all have shown some laxative action.
They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action.
For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses!
Bottom Line DR Shaklee knew what he was doing by combining all these natural herbs into one fantastic product called HERBLAX. Today it's still one of our best selling products. Why because it flat out works and it's very cost effective.

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
Protect your heart safely with OmegaGuard™, the world's finest, ultra-pure, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil. This Shaklee product offers a full spectrum of seven omega-fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, ALA, and more to help you maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.*

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!

A message from... Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90
I think most of us agree there isn't anything more important than the health of our families. Unfortunatly the average person just doesn't know about what they may be exposed to everyday unless they are educated.
Unfortunatly it sometimes takes a bad experience before folks really think about what may be harming their family.
My hats off to http://healthychild.org for taking the steps to educate and help us discover what we may be exposed to without knowing it.
Shaklee has just formulated new products especially for "Shakleebaby" and "Shakleekids" These products will be available to order on May 1st.

How about this special tip for anyone dealing with the nasty toe nail fungus that is so hard to manage....I have a few testimonies for a product that safely and effectively gets rid of toe nail fungus for good...... This is a quote from an email I received today "I am selling Shaklee Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil for toe nail fungus. The people are getting good results in less than a week.
One lady told me about her bad feet. I left a goodie basket, explaining several of the products first. When I went back a week later to get it, she could not say enough about what the Creamy Baby Oil had done to her fungus on her toe nails."
She goes on to say that she put this story in her newsletter - " Another lady bought it and had the same results. A dear friend of mine read the second lady's result story and she purchased it. My dear friend had battled this fungus for several years--for 3 months out of the last year she had used some brand name that is well advertised for getting rid of toe nail fungus and it did not do one thing for her. She said that after only two days of applying Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil that she was getting results. So now lots of people know these stories via my newsletter and word of mouth. People are buying more Creamy Baby Oil for toe nail fungus than are buying it for babies!"
How amazing is that! A safe and effective treatment for toe nail fungus, instead of the nasty products that can damage your liver! Give it a try.....here is the link to my website where you can purchase the Shaklee Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil.

Spring is just around the corner and this is the time when many of us will come down with what we think is just a cold from the changes in temperature. I know that from living here in Michigan, we don't get allot of fresh air and can find ourselves *cooped up* for most of the winter. What we may not realize is that in truth our immune systems take the toll from the many damaging effects of our often not-so-healthy lifestyles.
Just watch this super-informative video and you'll understand what i mean.
What everyone needs to understand is that Interferon helps protect us from the daily exposure to pathogens and allergens. And as complex as the immune system may be, one thing is certain. The role of interferon is essential.
The good news is that we are not complelety defenseless. The physical body has many built-in mechanisms that are designed to protect us! Our immune system is the natural shield against the stresses and environmental factors we encounter every single day. This is a complex network and our immune system provides many layers of defense.
Immune cells can activate a substance called interferon and interferon is a natural substance that is produced by the body and has two very important functions.
First, it signals neighboring cells and triggers their defense mechanisms.
Second, interferon activates immune cells to perform their intended functio

What we may think we already know about heart disease and stroke may not be enough to stop you from eating that next Big Mac! Is it? I have been there and even though I consider myself a person pretty well versed in health and nutrition does not make me less human.
It can be sooo difficult to make the right choices when you are hungry. I know! That is why I chose the Shaklee Cinch University to help me get my weight and poor eating habits in control. Diet and weight loss will play a huge part in your healthy program so get these great tips for healthy lifestyle recipes here at Cinch Club.com
Living healthy can mean all kinds of things to many people. For me and many like me who are dealing with living a healthy lifestyle and owning a healthy program, finding simple information that I can easily follow is what has worked for me. I hope this information will be helpful to you.
This is my point..not all vitamins and supplements are the same. They are not. So you will want to understand what to look for and here is good information about why Shaklee is different!
CoQ Heart includes the powerful antioxidant resveratrol- believed to be the most beneficial antioxidant compound found in red wine. more.....
Cholesterol Regulation Complex is a safe and natural way to help promote cardiovascular health by helping to retain healthy cholesterol levels. more.....
Fiber Plan (unflavored) stirs easily into juices, milk or other liquids. One serving contains 4 grams of soluble fiber. more.....
And Garlic Complex helps maintain normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. more.....
Here is the bottom line. It truly does make a difference in which products you choose. And if you think that just grabbing something off the shelf at the local drug store is good enough, then you might not be getting the full spectrum of nutritional support that you think you are getting. Look for patents, look for science backed studies for purity and potency. Look for value and living healthy.
To your own healthy heart,
