Anti Aging Tonic Testimony: Parkinson's Patient

Thanks to Paula for updating us on her husband Chuck's health progress. One of the things I really appreciate about our Shaklee family is when we get updates on how people are doing - beyond their initial story.

Chuck’s Vivix Story Updated 2/09
Below is a story about my husband and his experience to date on Vivix, Shaklee's anti-aging tonic. He has been on various Shaklee supplements since 2001, but we have seen the most change since starting Vivix August 2008. The improvements became noticeable within 2 months of starting Vivix.

Before Vivix, our goal was to keep him as healthy as possible so his body only needed to deal with Parkinson's. Since Vivix, our goal has changed to improving his DNA and reducing his medications! Then use his personal experience to help others. I often reflect on why God put Shaklee in my path – and it’s times like this when I hear the answer.

December 2008

I am 58, Chuck is 78. We’ve been married 24 years. He is the love of my life. What I didn’t know way back before we met, was that I was in love with him even before I knew he existed. Do you know what I mean? That’s the kind of relationship we have.

In 2003 Chuck was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease – a progressive neurological disorder with no known cure. When you hear Parkinson’s you may think of Michael J. Fox, or the former Pope, who lived with Parkinson’s for many, many years. Chuck has a very relaxed attitude about his PD, he figures something would eventually get him, and it could be worse.

For those of you not familiar with PD, some of the symptoms are:

tremors in the hands and legs
slow walk, eventually becoming a shuffle
hunched posture
balance and coordination issues
impaired large and small muscle dexterity
speech problems
drooling
facial ‘mask’ – people with PD begin to lose their expression, have a quiet dullness about them, or as I refer to it, their lights go out

Chuck has been taking Shaklee supplements since 2001 and is on prescription meds for the PD. I’ve done a lot of research, talked with others, and have him on a pretty solid Shaklee program – which we are constantly tweaking as we learn more.

I brought Vivix home from convention and Chuck began taking it mid August and has been faithful with it every day! He promised me he would do that for 6 months before making any decision on whether to continue it or not. Keep in mind, my darling husband is my very best skeptic!

When asked how he feels today, he says he feels better but not sure exactly how. My report to you is that little things are happening. And it is the little things in life that mean the most! He’s back to:

1. laughing, smiling and making jokes,
2. participating in conversations at family gatherings,
3. whistling and singing silly songs,
4. standing straighter when he hugs me,
5. he’s just more engaged in life –
6. and the best of all – when you look into his eyes, his lights are back on!

Is Vivix making a difference in Chuck’s health and in our hope for him? You bet it is! And is he going to keep taking it after his promised 6 months? He better!

Updates

1/09: Chuck had cataract surgery in both eyes in Nov. and Dec., then eyelid lift surgery early January. At his one-week checkup after the last procedure, his surgeon said, “You are healing much faster than I expected!” Most 78 year olds don’t hear that! I think it’s the Shaklee!

2/09: Chuck had his 6-month check-up with his neurologist in January. With reluctance, he agreed to have Chuck go off one of his two PD meds, Sinemet, which he had started April 2008 to help with the increased tremors and other symptoms. We think that drug may have been partially responsible for the atrial fibrillation that was found in October (one of the side affects is heart irregularities but neither the cardiologist nor neurologist would agree that was a factor). We have not seen an increase in his PD symptoms since stopping Sinemet. He had a re-check with the cardiologist late January and the atrial fibrillation/congestive heart failure was downgraded to a heart flutter (Thank you Jesus!).


Current prescription meds:
Requip for P.D., which he has been on since 2004
Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor) for the A.Fib. diagnosed in October

Chuck is also on a nutritional and detoxing program designed by Dr. Richard Brouse, chiropractic physician, biochemist, and certified clinical nutritionist in Oregon, working with him long distance. The Build a Better You program includes extensive blood, hair, and urine testing, with a program designed specifically for Chuck’s results. After much research and evaluation, Dr. Brouse has chosen to work exclusively with Shaklee products.

What is Resveratrol & What can it do?

Resveratrol is a molecule so tiny it penetrates almost any wall of a cell in an organism. It continues into the cell nucleus, to the cells genetic machinery. There resveratrol selectivly switches on genes that aid the survival of an organisum, like the Sirtuin 1 DNA repair gene. Using gene silencing, it switched off genes involved in the initiation and progression of disease, blocking replication of bacteria, viruses, fungi and tumor cells.

EXTENDS LIFE --- by infulencing gene functions, resveratrol has been shown to extend the life of yeast cells, fruit flies,roundworms, fish and even over fed labatory mice.

New studies show it even slows the onset of virturally all aging diseases: heart, cancers, arthritis and Alzheimers.

Other new discoveries shows it does still more... repairs alcohol damaged livers, slows bone loss, boosts endurance, promotes hair growth, and re-energizes cells.

Who found Resveratrol?

Leroy Caeasy, professor of pomology at Cornell discovered resveratrol in 1992. Excitement for this molecule boomed in 1997 when a team lead by Professor John Pezzuto (University of Illnois), reported resveratrol inhibited the onset and progression of cancer in mice like no other molecule. Comparing resveratrol to 19,000 other substances -- he said "Resveratrol is by far the most promising against cancer"

Who discovered Resveratrol's ablility to extend life spans?

MIT researchers discovered a gene Sirtin 1 which controls the rate of aging. This gene is switched on by caloric restriction. In 2003 Harvard scientist David Sinclair team discovered trans-resveratrol also switches on resveratrol 1 gene, thus mimiciking calorie restriction. Sinclair was the first to show a living organism, yeast cells,lives far longer when givin resveratrol. He later showed resveratrols ability to promote quality of life.

Resveratrol may soon become the most prized molecule on our planet.

Here is an awesome presentation on Resveratrol going into exactly what it does to the cells, also toward the end it describes the opportunity available to you too. RECORDED PRESENTATION

Why did we choose Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic from Shaklee

Today I want to share why I promote the company I do. And why I feel we have the more potent & proven to work resveratrol anti aging product available today.

Shaklee the manufacturer of Vivix the brand of resveratrol we market have been in the business of research, development and manufacturing natural health products for over 50 yrs now. They are the #1 supplier of natural nutrition products in the USA. Shaklee products are written about every day and published in google.

Here are a few stats about Shaklee:
~ The average user of Shaklee products is 17.5 years
~ Shaklee has an 80% reorder rate
~ In Aug 09 Shaklee added a top level to the complan. The company had so many top level distributors they established another level to seperate the best of the best.

Here is a short video explaining the "Roots of Shaklee"


Bottomline it's the "Shaklee Difference"

We know that whatever amount of resveratrol and polyphenol blend is listed on the Shaklee label is actually there. You never know with any other brand whether what listed on the label is in the product at all or in the product at the level listed on the label. No government agency is checking to verify this; you have to trust the company. Shaklee has earned that trust; other companies have not.

We know there are no pesticides in our product. We don't know that about the competitors.

We know that Shaklee ensures that our products do not contain salmonella or lead or anything else that can harm us (and over the 50 year history of our company they never have).

We know that our products are tested for bioavailability. Most other companies do not test for this.

We KNOW that Shaklee products deliver results without the dangers commonly associated with supplements.

We KNOW we can trust our health to Shaklee.Relating the Shaklee Difference is our job and is why we get paid well for it.If the labels could sell the product, we would not be needed and Shaklee could be sold in stores next to the low-quality garbage.

No one wants products. Everyone wants results...

This testimony came through on one of our Shaklee Distributor message boards...

My sister has had full-body skin issue's for 57 years and has tried everything, medically and natural cures, including Shaklee lecitihin and Optiflora. Nothing helped except Vivix. She has been taking it for 3 months in addition to many other Shaklee products -- Vitalizer, Cinch protein drinkis, Omegaguard, etc. Now she is free of psoriasis and believes it is the Vivix. ~ Tina
