Shaklee Videos: Why Supplement?

Choose Healthy Fats

Despite the decades of advertising no-fat products and low-fat diets, Americans are continuing to decline in health.  That's because OUR BODY NEEDS FAT.

With so many different sources of dietary fat—some good and some bad—the choices can get confusing.

But the bottom line is simple: don’t go no-fat, go good fat.

If you are concerned about your weight or heart health, rather than avoiding fat in your diet, try replacing saturated fats and trans fats with good fats. This might mean replacing some of the meat you eat with beans and legumes, or using olive oil rather than butter.  But even organic butter is much better for your cells than margarine or other 'spreads.'

• Try to eliminate trans fats from your diet. Check food labels for trans fats. Avoiding commercially-baked goods goes a long way. Also limit fast food.
• Limit your intake of saturated fats by cutting back on red meat and full-fat dairy foods. Try replacing red meat with beans, nuts, poultry, and wild-caught fish whenever possible, and switching from whole milk and other full-fat dairy foods to lower fat versions.
• Eat omega-3 fats every day. Good sources include wild caught fish, walnuts, ground flax seeds, flaxseed oil, and soybean oil.

To ensure purity and potency when using omega-3 food supplements make sure to select a product that  undergoes a multi-step molecular distillation process, which:
• Concentrates and refines the omega-3 fatty acids
• Removes lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, dioxins, and PCBs, and other contaminants
• Reduces oxidation and formation of trans fats
• Minimizes odor and fishy aftertaste

Evelyn had a Choice and so do You!

This web site is about educating you to collect information and Choose a Healthy Life for yourself.  Obviously what works for one person won't necessarily have the exact same results for another, but over and over again I see people who Choose natural alternatives getting amazing results.  Here's Evelyn's amazing story.

I first came to Amy for guidance after I was diagnosed with calcium in my blood, hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism along with other health issues that were starting to take a toll on my life. I was having trouble sleeping, lacked energy, my finger nails were very weak and brittle, my hair was falling out. I, also, experienced muscle weakness and stiffness in the morning.

When the endocrinologist first told me that my blood results indicated that I had hyperparathyroidism, he said there is no treatment. There is no medicine that I can prescribe for you, which was fine by me because my general practitioner had started prescribing too many pills for me. So I didn't want to start taking another one. But then he said the only solution would be to have surgery. He wanted to just watch and see how I was doing in another 3 months, but in the meantime he told me to research hyperparathyroidism online.

So I began researching and asking Amy if she had any suggestions as to what I could do. My research online proved to me that I wanted no part of surgery. I read of accounts where people had side affects similar to those with Alzheimer's disease after having surgery on their parathyroid. So I was praying that Amy could lead me in another direction--that there would be an alternative to surgery.

Amy suggested that I start taking Shaklee Vitalizer Gold. She said that the Vitalizer would start to rebuild my body. I also started going to a chiropractor for regular adjustments so that my nervous system could correctly communicate with the rest of my body. I started drinking more water, at least my body weight in ounces. I stopped eating sugar, started eating more vegetables and healthy fats (coconut oil, olive oil and nuts), and started exercising.

Almost immediately, I started to see results. I was able to get to sleep and sleep soundly, which I hadn't been able to do for a long time. My body didn't have its usual aches and stiffness. The swelling and stiffness in my fingers were gone. My nails even started growing and being stronger. I had so much more energy, too.

Now it was time for another blood test. I was anxious to see the test results to see if this alternative method was really working. One thing I forgot to tell you too was that I had stopped taking my thyroid medicine. Would the Vitalizer and the change in life style be enough? Well, guess what? My thyroid, parathyroid, and blood calcium levels were all normal. Praise the Lord. I needed no medication or surgery.
