“There are billions upon billions of cells in your body, and each provides a dwelling place for YOUR Life Force… your life. So, you see, your “life” is distributed among these billions of cells. The life span of each cell is from 1 to 120 days. Each is dependent upon the food you eat for its nourishment, and its length of life depends upon the quality of that food. “
~ Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.

The “super-healer” …vitamin E!
If there is a vitamin that can be called a “miracle” nutrient, it is vitamin E. In fact, according to Dr. Shaklee,
“Vitamin E has more power to keep the body healthy than any other nutritional element. I cannot urge you too strongly to make Vitamin E a part of your daily diet!”
Known chiefly for it’s antioxidant properties, vitamin E is vital to every healing process in the body! Its ability to help the bloodstream transport oxygen is a key to its healing effects.
Vitamin E…
♦♦ reduces risks of cataracts and some cancers
♦♦ helps people with diabetes by increasing circulation and decreasing the risk of blindness
♦♦ helps prevent heart attacks
♦♦ protects cell membranes, essential for red blood cells
♦♦ aids cellular respiration
♦♦ protects lung tissue from pollution
♦♦ slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease
♦♦ helps shrink fibrocystic breast lumps
♦♦ eases the pain of fibromyalgia
♦♦ helps relieve menorrhagia, especially when caused by an IUD birth control device
♦♦ reduces liver damage in hepititis patients
♦♦ long known as the “antisterility” vitamin, it increases fertility
♦♦ lowers the incidence of prostate cancer
♦♦ lowers the occurrence of macular degeneration
♦♦ reduces menopause symptoms
♦♦ slows the rate of joint deterioration in osteoarthritis patients
♦♦ eases PMS symptoms, especially breast tenderness
♦♦ eases some symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
Because of its oxygenation properties, vitamin E also is extremely important for energy production. The more oxygen available to the cells, the more energy you’ll have!
Antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C, are also an important part of the body’s defense against free radical muscle damage caused by strenuous exercise. While exercise increases the body’s natural defense against free radicals, athletes who are doing intense training may benefit from the addition of antioxidant supplements, particularly vitamin E, to their diets.
Shaklee vitamin E supplements
Shaklee Vit
a-E products contain naturally occurring vitamin E… d-alpha tocopherol. Natural vitamin E is more biologically active than synthetic vitamin E and more easily assimilated and retained by the body.
A powerful fat-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E supports heart, brain and prostate health and promotes lung, colon, and immune function.
Both Shaklee Vita-E Complex and Vita-E combat free radicals with natural vitamin E and selenium. Choose from Vita-E Complex softgels with an enhanced support formula containing grape seed extract or kosher-certified Vita-E tablets.
Ah-h-h-h… sleep! (at last…)
Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best steps you can take to nurture
and protect your health… yet over 60 million Americans suffer each year from sleep deprivation.
Insomnia is not only a major medical concern, it has also spawned a multi-billion dollar business. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs, noise-blockers, eye masks, and many other commercial solutions abound. However, there are more natural sleep methods you can employ.
Start with Superior Nutrition
Good nutrition is not only essential for restful sleep, it helps alleviate other conditions that can interfere with natural slumber such as restless leg syndrome, arthritis, headaches and body pain. Try these:
⇒⇒ Chewable Cal Mag Plus and OsteoMatrix. Calcium is essential for calm nerves, in fact, nerve endings are continuously bathed in a calcium-rich fluid. Taking Chewable CalMag Plus or OsteoMatrix an hour before bedtime can help you relax and prepare your body for sleep.
⇒⇒ Sustained Release VitalMag. Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system and is so imp
ortant that the brain stores a safety reserve in case the body experiences a drop in magnesium levels.
⇒⇒ Lecithin. Vital for the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system lecithin is rich in choline, a component in neurotransmitters that convey messages to the brain.
⇒⇒ Stress Relief Complex containing L-theanine, ashwagandha, beta sitosterol, and L-tyrosine, promotes a relaxed state of mind.
⇒⇒ Gentle Sleep Complex contains passion flower, German chamomile, and valerian to promote relaxation, and encourage the body into restful sleep.
Other Sleep Solutions
In addition to Shaklee’s natural products try these techniques to help you ease into restful sleep:
Visualize…
Close your eyes and visualize a tranquil scene where you are completely at peace. Relax each part of your body beginning with your toes and working up to your scalp. This process develops brain wave patterns that encourage sleep.
Soak those tootsies…
Hot foot baths draw blood from the brain to calm you before bed. Soak your feet in water as hot as you can tolerate with a cup of magnesium-rich Epsom salts.
Wiggle your toes!
Lie on your back and wiggle the toes of both feet (all at once) up and down 12 times. The “meridians” in the body that connect with every organ all end up in your feet. Try this and see if your entire body doesn’t completely relax.
When Pain is a Factor…
If pain from overexertion is interfering with your ability to fall asleep or sleep through the night, Shaklee has two great, natural solutions:
Pain Relief Complex
With a patent-pending blend of clinically proven boswellia and safflower extract, Pain Relief Complex gives you the help you need for strained joints and muscles.
Joint & Muscle Pain Cream
This unique topical cream will provide temporary relief for occasional joint and muscle aches and pain. The light menthol fragrance dissipates quickly.
Can brain cells grow? Yes… but not under stress!
Can you actually grow new brain cells… some-thing considered absolutely impossible for centuries? The answer is… yes! According to Dr. Armar Sahay, a neuroscientist with Harvard affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, “Everyone has the capacity to develop new [brain] cells that can help enhance cognitive function.”
Confirmed by several studies, this startling discovery could herald the successful treatment of degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, or brain injuries resulting from stroke or trauma.
However, it also appears that this new cell production, which takes place in the hippo-campus… an area of the brain used to form long-term memory… can be completely halted by stress. While avoiding stress is impossible, finding ways of dealing with it can help minimize its impact. Try exercise, deep breathing, prayer or meditation.
Taking Shaklee food supplements like B-Complex, Sustained Release Vita-C, Vita-E Complex, Chewable Cal Mag Plus, Lecithin, Sustained Release VitalMag and especially Stress Relief Complex will help reduce anxiety levels by giving the body the nutrients it needs to deal with stress.

The Shaklee Difference… Basic H²
Many all purpose cleaners may contain toxins that can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled.
Synthetic solvents may cause hormone disruptions. Organic solvents such as Butyl Cellosolve™ are neurotoxins and nasal irritants. Another toxin, morpholine, can cause liver or kidney damage. Glass cleaners contain ammonia, a poison that can irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory system.
Basic-H² is completely safe… nontoxic, with no toxic fumes, chlorine or other hazardous chemicals.
