Migraine short story

I apologize that this is so quiet, but if you listen closely, you will hear Mary Ann read a short story of how one person got her life back from migraines, thanks to Shaklee's Vivix.

Do you ever eat Fast Food, Smoke, are Overweight? You might want to read this NEWLY Published Clinical Study!

Letter from Dr. Jamie McManus
New Shaklee Published Clinical Research Study
 
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new Shaklee-sponsored clinical research study confirming that key Vivix® ingredients blunt the biological stress response that occurs after consuming a high-fat meal1.* This biological stress response refers to the acute oxidative and cellular responses that occur in the body to address metabolic by-products of common lifestyle factors such as eating an unhealthful diet, being overweight, or smoking. If the biological stress response persists over time, it may lead to many of the age-related health challenges we see today.


% Change in NRF-2 DNA Binding Activity Following HFHC Meal with or wothout Shaklee SupplementOne way to study this biological stress response is to observe what happens in the bloodstream after eating a high-fat fast food meal, as this is known to produce a significant amount of oxidative and biological stress.

So Shaklee scientists collaborated with researchers to study the effects of Vivix ingredients on the metabolic responses to eating a typical fast food meal. The researchers gave key Vivix ingredients or a placebo immediately before the consumption of a high-fat fast food meal and measured oxidative and biological stress response for five hours following the meal. Results showed significant blunting of the typical oxidative and biological stress response to a high-fat meal, as well as significant activation of Nrf-2, a key regulator of the body’s antioxidant defenses, in the group consuming the Vivix polyphenols.*

The study was published Feb. 2, 2011, online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.Clinicals.Shaklee.com

This research nicely complements our mitochondrial mass study showing increased cellular energy production with Vivix ingredients compared to resveratrol alone AND our laboratory study showing that Vivix ingredients are more powerful than resveratrol at inhibiting AGE protein formation.

What does this mean to you? You can now share the incredible news that we have a human clinical study published in a prestigious peer-reviewed medical research journal that shows significant and positive physiologic effects in people consuming key Vivix ingredients.

To your great health, We encourage you to access the study from your nearest university library or from the Web site and to look for future Health Sciences Bulletins for more information on the health risks associated with oxidative and biological stress responses.

New Resveratrol + Muscadine Grape Study

A Resveratrol and Polyphenol Preparation Suppresses Oxidative and Inflammatory Stress Response to a High-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Meal

This study showed that a resveratrol and muscadine polyphenol-based supplement suppresses the oxidative and inflammatory stress response to eating a high fat, high carbohydrate fast food meal. The supplement was specifically shown to stimulate the activity of a key regulator of the body's antioxidant defense system,... Nrf-2, and induce the expression of related antioxidant genes.

Resveratrol’s anti-inflammatory power gets human data boost

Besides reading the study below, Shaklee has just done a study on VivixTM proving that it reduces inflammation and increases energy to the mitochondria. I will post more on those studies when I have that information. For now you might want to read this study on resveratrol, remembering that Vivix is 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone! 

Resveratrol’s anti-inflammatory power gets human data boost: "New research has observed the suppressive effects of resveratrol on inflammation and oxidative stress in humans – the first time such effects have been observed."

U. of Tennessee, Shaklee Team to Study Impact of VIVIX Polyphenols on Cellular Energy & Metabolism

 
Aug 10, 2010 14:25 ET
PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - August 10, 2010) -  Can a supplement with resveratrol and polyphenols boost cellular energy and metabolism? Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Shaklee Corporation have partnered to address these questions by studying the impact of a unique blend of resveratrol and muscadine polyphenols found in Shaklee VIVIX Cellular Anti-Aging* dietary supplement, on human muscle cell mitochondria, the intra-cellular power plants that generate cellular energy.

With this research, Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education at Shaklee, and Dr. Michael Zemel of the University of Tennessee are seeking to determine the impact of this unique polyphenol blend on key biological processes related to cellular energy production and aging.

"One of the key mechanisms of aging is a decline in mitochondrial mass as well as the effectiveness of the mitochondria," said Dr. McManus. "In our research, we're trying to validate the impact of VIVIX polyphenols on mitochondrial biogenesis -- shorthand for how the number and size of mitochondria help create cellular energy and boost metabolism. We're excited to share our research goals with the medical community and create a baseline for future studies on polyphenols and cellular energy metabolism."

VIVIX was developed by Shaklee scientists by combining resveratrol with an extract from the only grape in nature that contains an extra chromosome. This muscadine super grape has polyphenols that complement the many benefits of resveratrol. Shaklee scientists created a unique profile of polyphenols shown in laboratory studies to positively impact multiple mechanisms of cellular aging.*

Anti-Aging ~ Antioxidants ~ Resveratrol ~ Shaklee

Many companies out there just produce products that follow the current trend, without caring for safety, efficacy and purity. For example, they make anti-aging products merely from antioxidants. Research tells us that anti-oxidants alone do not contribute to slowing the aging process. Resveratrol does. Shaklee's VivixTM is 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone! Do your own research before you buy!

Shaklee is a different kind of company. Shaklee CARES about you and your health. Shaklee has never had a product recalled in 54 years! Shaklee will NEVER make a product that will harm you. Do you really know of any other company who can say that? Really? Do you know of another company who cares that much about you and your health? Please, if you do, I would love to hear about them. Do your own research ~ learn, JOIN me, and then tell your friends and family that you care about. They deserve to know.

Remember as you read this, that VivixTM is 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone! Just THINK of the possibilities!! And just 1 teaspoon per day!

A Polio Survivor's Testimonial

Another Amazing VivixTM Testimonial

Shaklee’s Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging tonic has been creating believers since it came out on 8/8/08. But as the months go by the testimonials for Vivix seem more and more incredible. (If you don’t know about Vivix check out this short video.)

Here is another amazing Vivix testimonial, this time from a woman who has lived with polio almost all of her life.

As background, I have been using Shaklee supplements for the past 37 years. I feel that they have been largely responsible for the health I enjoy today. I had polio at age 8 years, which left me with very little movement in my legs. Since the polio attack, I have used a wheelchair to transport me to and through many marvelous experiences.

Many who had polio years ago have experienced something called the "Post-Polio Syndrome" where the virus attacks again and renders the person worse off than before, as well as leaving them highly fatigued. Thankfully, I have not experienced this syndrome and feel like my Shaklee supplements have helped spare me.

Now, the only thing I have changed (to my Shaklee supplement regimen) is the addition of Vivix each day since last August/08.

I started using Vivix right after it was introduced, and have used it daily since...the recommended 1 tsp (although now I "swig" it from the bottle so it may vary just a bit) As have others, I soon noticed a smoothing out of brown spots on my skin, I was sleeping sounder, not having to get up to go to the bathroom during the night and noticed more sustained energy level on into the evening.

However, the unexpected effect that has astounded me is that, after taking Vivix for about 3 to 4 months, I begin to notice a tiny bit more movement (an awakening?) in the muscles in my legs that has continued to increase over these past number of months.
After the polio attack, I had full feeling but almost no movement in my legs. I was left with a little movement in my right leg and almost none in my left. For example, in a sitting position I could raise my right knee upward a bit and move it sideways ever so slightly. Had been able to ''feel" a slight muscle tensing in the back my left leg but no movement. This has been a static condition for over 60 years.

I will briefly try to describe what has/is happening. Whereas, when I would tense the muscles in the back of my right leg before, I could feel them tense only behind my knee...this has increased until now I can tense and feel it down my calf and up into my hip. I can even feel the muscle tensing a little more in the back of my left leg.

In a sitting position, I could pull my right knee up about 2 inches; I can now pull it up to my chest! I also have a lot more sideways movement. I can see and feel a more movement in the left leg.

What does this mean for me? Well the main benefit is that I don't have to use my arm to move my right leg for the most part. What is really neat is that I can move both legs more when in bed to help me turn over and so forth. Also I can move the right one when I get in and out of my chair without it just swinging (and banging into whatever) I won't try to go into more detail but, hopefully, this will give you a little idea of why I am so thrilled. Every little improvement just helps me be able to move around easier and for this I am grateful. Plus, I seem to continue to gain more movement. I really notice it when I am swimming.

My massage therapist is "blown away" and can verify each improvement. She evaluated me when I started with her 2 years ago and is seeing each gain. So...Thank you Vivix!!! Sincerely, Marlene E."

Leukoplakia from smoking ~ GONE after more than 10 years!

This is an (exact quote) email I recently received from a Shaklee member who has been taking VivixTM for about 14 months, just one teaspoon a day! woo hoo!

"I've had leukoplakia, a growth in the mouth (inside cheek) from smoking that may be precancerous. Today, I noticed that it's GONE !!! And must be the supplements and/or Vivix."

Upon further questioning I found out that he has had leukoplakia for about 10 years....this time, and more than 10 years previously. He quit smoking for 3 years in between and it went away during that time. Of course, I do not endorse smoking, and I wish he would quit, but this story is AMAZING and totally unexpected and exciting so I wanted to share it. I hope it will help someone.

Radiation Implants for Prostate Cancer ~ No ED!!!!


My friend Mike, who recently had radiation implants for prostate cancer, took 4 t. of Vivix per day prior to his implants. I believe he was told by the doctors to expect ED as a side effect. He first told me that if he wrote his story about his results with Vivix, Shaklee would not be able to keep it on the shelves!!! Well, it's been a few months now and he says not only does he not have ED, he has the opposite effect (if you know what I mean?) and he attributes it completely to taking Vivix!!!!! I would like to clarify that Mike stopped taking Vivix before his implants as taking Vivix during radiation or chemotherapy would counteract the treatments. He cannot wait until the radiation implant has completely gone away so he can start back on Vivix again!

Breakthroughs in Cancer Treatment


On September 20, 2009, Parade Magazine ran a story about dramatic breakthroughs in cancer treatment, by Dr. Francis S. Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health. There are environmental issues that are at the root of some cancers. For example, 90 % of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking. For other forms of cancer, the causes are not so clear. Scientists now know, according to Dr. Collins, that cancer is a disease of DNA. Smoking causes mutations of the DNA and when mutations occur, a normal cell grows out of control and spreads. Not all mutations are caused by environmental issues. Some cells do not replicate the exact DNA when dividing, thus causing what is called a “typo.” If the “typo” continues to be replicated wrong, cancer can develop. These “typos” can randomly occur or can be inherited. There are numerous ways a cell can go wrong.

Physicians are starting to use the knowledge that cancer is a disease of DNA to look at a person’s DNA and their family history to predict their risk factors. If cancer is caught early enough, it is usually treatable. There are powerful new drugs being developed. But what if there was a natural substance or a product that would protect and repair DNA, would that be of interest to these scientists? What about you?
In laboratory studies, Vivix™ Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic ingredients have been shown to impact the four mechanisms of cellular aging.* One of those mechanisms is DNA damage. Every day, every cell in the body is being bombarded by DNA-damaging assaults. These assaults can damage the DNA and cause a “typo.” Vivix™ is the world's best anti-aging supplement. In laboratory studies, Vivix ingredients have been shown to impact the four key mechanisms of cellular aging, including protecting and repairing cellular DNA.*

Friend with Post Polio Syndrome (PPS) using Shaklee VivixTM

Another success story came my way tonight...my friend, Joe has Post Polio Syndrome (PPS). He has been taking Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon for more than one year, and added Cor Energy about a month ago. Joe's dark circles under his eyes are lightening, at least 6 moles/skin tags have fallen off, Cardio C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Homocysteine levels are much better. And, he has smoother softer skin and more mental energy!! We are literally changing lives with Shaklee products! Since starting Cor Energy about one month ago he says he feels his brain and nervous system have been stimulated as well! Muscles next? We hope so!

I should mention that prior to Shaklee, Joe had been researching and using "other brands" for years, thoroughly convinced that he was taking the best products he could get, yet Shaklee is now changing his life! Changing brands really can change YOUR life, too.

Please follow Joe's latest results
on my Heatlh Blog, while he continues to take most of Shaklee's recommended Rx For a Healthier Life plus a few other Shaklee products.

At Shaklee, "Creating Healthier Lives" is not just a slogan. Changing brands really can change your life!!! We believe that it is a combination of all of the Shaklee products that Joe is taking that is helping him, and not just VivixTM alone.

Do you have your own story to tell? Please do!

Dr. Oz Suggests Longevity Shake Everyday!

Today, Dr. Oz said to drink a longevity drink every day! I have been drinking mine for over 17 months and I LOVE it. I'm sure his is fantastic, it looked good on TV, but frankly, I know myself and I will NOT keep all those ingredients around the house to make this drink every single day. Would you? Although goji berries have been around 3,000 years, are they PROVEN to give you longer life? Nobody said that. 

I'm so glad I have my longevity drink, VivixTM. It's very convenient ~ I just unscrew the cap from the bottle every morning, pour it in a teaspoon, and drink it down ~ after my Cinch Shake, of course! Click to learn more about Cinch Shakes (please give the catalog a minute to load and turn pages at any corner). I have to have my Cinch Shake to maintain my weight loss, to get my fiber everyday, and to retain my muscle mass. I know I wouldn't drink 2 shakes in the morning! For me, Dr. Oz's shake looks good for a once in a while treat, maybe in the afternoon :)

You can learn more about VivixTM in the catalog. VivixTM is made with ingredients that are safe, and are proven to work! 100% Guaranteed!! You can see some of the research in my earliers posts. Dr. Oz's shake, although natural and healthy ~ as far as I know, there are no research papers on its benefits!
His shakes consist of almond milk, banana, blueberries, dried goji berries and powdered MACA.

Resveratrol Research, Clinicals & Related Videos



As you watch these videos and read this research, think about this, VivixTM is 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone, because of the added muscadine super grape!! No one else can get this grape. Our company has secured the best grapes from the largest growers for the next 20 years! That is one reason that I am so excited about this! Just ONE teaspoon per day of this amazing tonic is all you need! And, of course, VivixTM is alcohol free! All the benefits without any of the side effects!
Don't be fooled by the companies using celebrity's names to endorse their products or offer free trials. See my post from Aug. 26, 2009 for more info. Below is some of the research I have found online, although there are over 2500 publications on resveratrol research! 1.) Scientists have found a substance called resveratrol in red wine that slows down the aging process in mice. Will it someday lengthen the lives of humans, too? Morley Safer reports. Drink to your Health from CBSNewsOnline 2.) A conversation with Dr. David Sinclair of The Harvard Medical School and Nicholas Wade, the science reporter for "The New York Times" about a groundbreaking new health study involving a molecule called resveratrol . The molecule, found in grapes and therefore wine, offsets the effects of high caloric intake in obese mice and also extends their longevity.
Charlie Rose - A Conversation with Dr. David Sinclair and Nicholas Wade. 3.) Study demonstrates improved health, survival in aged overweight male mice on resveratrol. Research published in Nature in 2006 provides evidence that the flavonoid Resveratrol (a naturally occurring compound found in grapes and red wine as well as nuts) can improve health and survival in obese mice on a high calorie diet. The mice given Resveratrol lived longer, had fewer signs of developing diabetes and maintained their motor skills with age. 4.) Red Wine Ingredient Increases Endurance, Study Shows.
Resveratrol may not only help us live longer but also help us run faster longer. The New York Times reported that when researchers gave resveratrol to lab mice, the mice were able to run twice as far as resveratrol-free mice before collapsing from exhaustion.
5.) Role of resveratrol in prevention and therapy of cancer - preclinical and clinical studies.
6.) World Science - Drug may trick body into “thinking” you worked out.
7.) You can obtain a list of all the current studies being done with Resveratrol by going to Clinicaltrials.gov and entering Resveratrol in the search box. Or click this link and go there now.
Keep in mind, resveratrol pharmaceuticals are at least 5 years away, VivixTM is here now! Why wait, when you can have the purest, most natural, World's best anti-aging tonic NOW? Please check my Aug. 18, 2009 post regarding the double-blind placebo clinical study on humans.
