Resveratrol Anti-Aging Testimony - "Freckle in the Eye"
Vivix Shaklee's Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic has more testimonies flying in than leaves in a Kansas wind. This one is hot off the press...
Vivix Testimony...
My daughter, Wendy, had what they refered to as a freckle in her eye for the past 8 years.[I'm sure there is another name for it] Every year she would go to have it checked out to make sure there wasn't any changes in it. What they were watching for was cancer.
Well this year, 2008, two months after starting on Vivix she had an appointment with the eye doctor. She wasn't even thinking about a change for the better, she was just hoping it hadn't changed for the worst. Well,the doctor looked and looked and couldn't find anything.
He even checked to make sure he was looking at the correct eye. I was very glad to hear this news since a friend of mine had the same problem, she missed one of her appointments and the next year when she went to the doctor she did have cancer in her eye.
I hope if there's anyone out there with this problem this will help them. For one thing...don't miss your eye appointemnts and take your Vivix!
Have a Great Day!

Resveratrol Review on CBS 60 minutes
As we all saw on CBS 60 minutes last evening... the Resveratrol Product which will be available pharmaceutically in a pill form in no less than five years has now been shown to indicate it not only will interrupt and delay the aging process, but indications now are that it might well be used in treating diseases which include cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons.
This was unexpected in the research and developmental stages that have led to this miraculous product. Yes, the research proved it would delay the effects of aging, but the fact that in the future, it would be used in the treatment of disease was an unexpected development.
Meanwhile, we do not have to wait for a pharmaceutical product, nor to rely on a pill, when we already have all natural Vivix anti-aging resveratrol extract. We can enjoy all the benefits with just one delicious teaspoon a day.
Without making any claims, we can confidently and enthusiastically present to the public the world's best anti aging resveratrol tonic: Vivix, which research has proven to address all four mechanisms of aging.
Vivix is Resveratrol Plus the unique blend of polyphenols that make Vivix 10 times more powerful than resveratrol alone. Resveratrol is miraculous and we have gone beyond Resveratrol. The purity and percentage of resveratrol in a product is also an important consideration. With The Shaklee Corporation's heritage of integrity and the most extensive clinical research, we are once again number one with the best, and it's Vivix out in front all the way.
Something else to consider...
The book: The Longevity Factor How Resveratrol & Red Wine activate genes for a longer and healthier life by Joseph Maroon, M.D.
On Page 193 Dr Maroon writes this on Vivix: "There is growing evidence that a combination of resveratrol and other potent polyphenols might provide improved health benefits due to the synergistic properties of different polyphenols from different plant sources. Shaklee Corporation, a direct selling nutrition company has recently released a product called Vivix, which is described as a cellular anti-aging tonic. It contains a multi-source polyphenol blend.
In conversations with the company, they state that the blend includes 100 mg of 98 percent pure resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum long with a proprietary extract derived from the fresh pomace of muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) The company recommends 5ml per day of Vivix, which they state is equivalent to the abount of resveratrol found in 100 glasses of red pinot noir red wine.
The muscadine polyphenols in this blended product along with the added resveratrol, European elderberry extract, and purple carrot extract will increase the total overall polyphenol content of this product. A month's supply will cost a member $85.00. In Shaklee's accompanying literature for Vivix, they state that the Vivix ingredients were shown in a laboratory study to be 10 times more powerful in slowing a key mechanism of aging than resveratrol alone."
Also, on Page 70, the author expands on the value of the muscadine grapes and the advantages over European grapes. "Muscadine grapes are native to North America, and may be the only fruit that originated in the United States and nowhere else.
They grow almost exclusively in the southeastern United Sates. They thrive under adverse conditions, perhaps due to their thicker and tougher skins compared to European grapes....muscadines have an extra chromosome(twenty instead of the nineteen other grapes have).
These additional genes allow muscadine grapes to produce a unique phytochemical, ellagic acid. The ellagive acid polyphenol compounds that are in muscadine grapes are vitually absent in other grapes. Ellagic acid is used by the muscadine grape skin to make tannin called ellagotannins, whichis used as an antimicrobial by the plant.
Ellagic acid also has powerful antioxidant and anticancer properties....the polyphenols in muscadine grape skins have been shown to have positive effects in heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and other inflammatory conditions. One of the more interesting effects of muscadine products appears to be their inhibition of AGE protein formation."
Continuing, the author states:" Recently, a large nutrition, direct selling company, Shaklee Corporation, working with scientists from the University of Georgia, has created a product containing an extract made from muscadine pomace which is the remaining fruit solids after the water content is extracted. Specificaly, they are working with muscadine grape growers in order to secure grapes with large amounts of protective polyphenols including ellagic acid and resveratrol. By selecting muscadine grapes and by using a whole grape extraction process, they have reported that their extract has a significantly higher concentration of healthy polyphenols than found in the skins themselves."
The above are excerpts from the book "The Longevity Factor" The author Joseph Maroon, M.D. FA.C.S. studied medicine at Indiana University, and Oxford University. Dr Maroon is a world renowned neurosurgeon and former president of the Congress of Neurological surgeons, the larges society of its kind in North America. He is currently a professor and Heindl Scholor in Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Interesting to note: he is a lifelong athlete, competed in more than fifty triathlons, and three Hawaiian Ironman Championship competitions.
The book is heralded as a groundbreaking examination of new scientific research that holds the secret to weight loss, increased strength, endurance, memory, and a healthier, longer life.
I believe the author, Joseph Maroon, M.D. has no connection with Shaklee Corporation,and the references in the book to Shaklee Corporation and our product Vivix..serve as an excellent third party reference.

Anti Aging Tonic Testimony: Vivix vs High Blood Pressure
Anti Aging Tonic(VIVIX) vs. High Blood Pressure I have high blood pressure that is controlled by a diuretic and beta blocker combination medication. Usually even with medication my systolic ranges between 129-138 and my diastolic between 75-83 and my pulse would range anywhere from 80-91 (rarely dropping below 80).
After five days on Vivix™ my blood pressure was 111/69 and pulse 59. The only thing different that I have been doing prior to this low reading is Vivix™. The past few days, my bp seems to be consistently around 122/73 and pulse 70. That’s pretty pleasing to me. I hope to eventually be able to come off all medications. I do supplement with magnesium and CoQ10 to counteract what my bp medication causes in nutrient deficiencies, but I’d rather not have the stuff going through my system.
I have not been on any other medications, not changed my diet any and my exercise level is still around 7500 steps a day.
Overall, I seem to have more energy and am better able to concentrate. I would recommend that you take Vivix™ in the morning so you can get the benefit of more energy throughout the day. Genia

Anti Aging Tonic - Mounting Evidence Shows Red Wine Antioxidant Kills XXX
Researchers Pinpoint How Resveratrol Induces Pancreatic Cancer Cell Death
Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell's core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function. The study is published in the March edition of the journal, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.
The study also showed that when the pancreatic cancer cells were doubly assaulted -- pre-treated with the antioxidant, resveratrol, and irradiated -- the combination induced a type of cell death called apoptosis, an important goal of cancer therapy.
The research has many implications for patients, said lead author Paul Okunieff, M.D., chief of Radiation Oncology at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Although red wine consumption during chemotherapy or radiation treatment has not been well studied, it is not "contraindicated," Okunieff said. In other words, if a patient already drinks red wine moderately, most physicians would not tell the patient to give it up during treatment.
Perhaps a better choice, Okunieff said, would be to drink as much red or purple grape juice as desired.
Yet despite widespread interest in antioxidants, some physicians are concerned antioxidants might end up protecting tumors. Okunieff's study showed there is little evidence to support that fear. In fact, the research suggests resveratrol not only reaches its intended target, injuring the nexus of malignant cells, but at the same time protects normal tissue from the harmful effects of radiation.
"Antioxidant research is very active and very seductive right now," Okunieff said. "The challenge lies in finding the right concentration and how it works inside the cell. In this case, we've discovered an important part of that equation. Resveratrol seems to have a therapeutic gain by making tumor cells more sensitive to radiation and making normal tissue less sensitive."
Resveratrol is known for its ability to protect plants from bacteria and fungi. Purified versions have been described in scientific journals as potential anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic agents, and for their ability to modulate cell growth. Other well-known antioxidants derived from natural sources include caffeine, melatonin, flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamins C and E.
A flurry of antioxidant studies in recent years has not proven how and why they work at the cellular level. At the suggestion of a young scientist in his lab, Okunieff began studying resveratrol as a tumor sensitizer. That's when they discovered its link to the mitochondria.
The discovery is critical because, like the cell nucleus, the mitochondria contains its own DNA and has the ability to continuously supply the cell with energy when functioning properly. Stopping the energy flow theoretically stops the cancer.
Researchers divided pancreatic cancer cells into two groups: cells treated without resveratrol, or with resveratrol, at a relatively high dose of 50 mg/ml, in combination with ionizing radiation. (The resveratrol concentration in red wine can be as high as 30 mg/ml, the study said, and higher doses are expected to be safe as long as a physician is monitoring.)
They evaluated the mitochondria function of the cells treated with resveratrol, and also measured apoptosis (cell death), the level of reactive oxygen species in the cells, and how the cell membranes responded to the antioxidant.
Laboratory experiments showed that resveratrol:
-- Reduced the function of proteins in the pancreatic cancer cell membranes that are responsible for pumping chemotherapy out of the cell, making the cells chemo-sensitive.
-- Triggered the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are substances circulating in the human body that have been implicated in a number of diseases: when ROS is increased, cells burn out and die.
-- Caused apoptosis, which is likely the result of increased ROS.
--Depolarized the mitochondrial membranes, which indicates a decrease in the cell's potential to function. Radiation alone does not injure the mitochondrial membrane as much.
The team also wanted to investigate why pancreatic cancer cells seem to be particularly resistant to chemotherapy. The pancreas, a gland located deep in the abdomen, produces insulin and regulates sugar, and pumps or channels powerful digestive enzymes into the duodenum. This natural pumping process, however, ends up ridding the needed chemotherapy from cells in the pancreas. But just as reseveratrol interferes with the cancer cells' energy source, it also may decrease the power available to pump chemotherapy out of the cell.
"While additional studies are needed," Okunieff said, "this research indicates that resveratrol has a promising future as part of the treatment for cancer."
In the same journal, Okunieff and his group also reviewed why resveratrol protects normal tissue, and found that antioxidants can be designed to take advantage of certain biochemical properties or cellular targets, making them more effective.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded the research through a URMC program called the Center for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation. Co-authors on the studies are: Weimin Sun, Wei Wang, Jung Kim, Peter Keng, Shanmin Yang, Hengshan Zheng, Chaomei Liu, Lurong Zhang, Jacqueline P. Williams, Steven Swarts and Amy K. Huser. All are from the Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Rochester Medical Center.

Another Anti-Aging Tonic Testimony
SARCOIDOSIS..COPD…INFLAMED LUNGS…BONE PAIN I wanted to put into words what you and Shaklee have done for me. This past spring I found myself dealing with a flare up of Sarcoidosis. This is, as you know, an auto immune disease that, in my case, caused long bone (not joint) pain and most troubling, breathing difficulties. The disease caused calcium deposits called granulomas to stiffen my lungs, so constricted airways was not the trouble, it was inflamed lung tissue that did not want to expand as it should resulting in shortness of breath as well as coughing.
This affected everything in my life. I was unable to even go for walks without being out of breath. I was so frustrated. Thanks to the gift of your friendship and true concern and the wonderful health and nutrition products from Shaklee, I was able to get the Sarcoidosis into remission within about six months.
Now the first time I suffered with Sarcoidosis, which was in 1999/2000, the disease took a course of one year before it went into remission. This time, though, I truly believe that by introducing Shaklee nutrition into my life, I was able to shorten the duration of the illness.
The drug of choice used to treat Sarcoidosis is Prednisone. For anyone not familiar with the drug, it reduces inflammation but along with that it has some terrible and serious side effects such as bone pain, fluid retention, insomnia, and weight gain, to name a few. I began taking a variety of Shaklee supplements specifically chosen to support and rebuild my immune system such as Vitalizer, Alfalfa, Immunity Formula 1, Core Energy, Omega Guard, Zinc, and the Pain Relief Complex.
Although I still had to continue with the oral Prednisone in order to breathe comfortably, the supplements began to help me rebuild my damaged cells. I also chose to eat as organic as possible and went green in my home by using Shaklee cleaning products and laundry products. Anne, with your help, I began to realize that the medical world does have its place without a doubt, but it was up to me to monitor my own health, learn how different foods affected my health and to remove any chemicals that could possibly be a contributing factor in relation to the return of the Sarcoidosis.
Truly, nothing that I was doing regarding my choice of foods (I avoid preservatives in foods), choice of cleaning products and choice of natural supplements could hurt me these things could only help me support and strengthen my immune system as well as protect it from unnecessary chemicals. What could I possibly lose??
The support the supplements offered soon enabled me to reduce my Prednisone dosage to 20 mg per day from 40 mg. I took no other pain relievers except for the Shaklee Pain Relief Complex. Around the middle of July I was able to go off of the Prednisone (I had to do this slowly) and began taking an inhaled steroid, Asmanex. I no longer needed the Pain Relief Complex as I had no pain!!!!!
Shortly after this, I was introduced to Shaklee Vivix. NO JOKING HERE...within about one week my lungs started to feel better. I experimented by taking the Asmanex only in the morning, I cut out the PM dose (I had done this before, but immediately had to go back on the evening dose due to breathing difficulties).
After four days without my PM dose, I finally called my family cautiously excited that the Vivix had made a huge difference.
I had a follow up appointment with my pulmonologist on Sept 16th. He said that based on the NORMAL levels of inflammation in my blood work and the IMPROVED FUNCTIONING of my lungs, that the Sarcoidosis was in remission again.
I was so elated and thankful! I no longer take any steroid medication. yeah!! I truly believe, Anne, that a strong faith, loving family and friends along with supporting my immune system with the supplements and the amazing Vivix, that I was able to win my battle against Sarcoidosis. Thank you and thank Shaklee for making an amazing and healthy difference in my life. God Bless, Jeannie

Anti-Aging Tonic Testimony
There are so many testimonies rolling int it makes my head spin over the next several days I hope to share several testimonies with you. Yes the science behind this product is astounding, but it the testimonies on how it has helped people that gets me excited.
INHERENT ESSENTIAL TREMORS: I am 72 years old and have had essential tremors since my early 30’s. The shaking and tremors became so bad that I had to quit my job as a lab technician in 1989.
When in high school I could type 60 words a minute. For the past 15 years in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with my left hand and type one key at a time. At times, the tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating and drinking, but I made a really good “tossed salad”.
I have faithfully used Shaklee supplements since November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was introduced. I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with B-Complex. There was very little improvement. I started taking VIVIX on August 23. In a week and a half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened. Now, at THREE WEEKS of VIVIX, my tremors/shaking are minimal!
I have to learn to use my hands again—I have to learn to type again with all my fingers!!! I was hoping a change would occur in two to three months on VIVIX, but NEVER expected these results in three weeks. Anne Campbell

When in high school I could type 60 words a minute. For the past 15 years in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with my left hand and type one key at a time. At times, the tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating and drinking, but I made a really good “tossed salad”.
I have faithfully used Shaklee supplements since November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was introduced. I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with B-Complex. There was very little improvement. I started taking VIVIX on August 23. In a week and a half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened. Now, at THREE WEEKS of VIVIX, my tremors/shaking are minimal!
I have to learn to use my hands again—I have to learn to type again with all my fingers!!! I was hoping a change would occur in two to three months on VIVIX, but NEVER expected these results in three weeks. Anne Campbell

Resveratrol the Anti-Aging Powerhouse
Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine!
Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant.
Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells.
Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol.
The newest round of studies from the Instute of Genetics, Molecular and Cellulary Biology in France found resveratrol, helped mice run twice as far during excercise. It helped muscles produce more energy, reduced their heart rate and gave them endurance the researchers compared to trained athletes.
What's more, resveratrol protected mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity. The benefits included in improved sensitivity to insulin, which is the key to maintaing ideal weight and avoiding diabetes.
So... resveratrol is becoming a 'wonder natural compound' it's powers include:
+ Anti-fungal, anti-yeast, anti-viral
+ Antioxident - promotes glutethone
+ Increases longevity
+ Protects against heart disease, Alzheimer's and type 2 Diabetes

Controls Aging! New Resveratrol Research Explained
The response to Vivix, Shaklee’s amazing new Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic made from resveratrol, has been amazing. Over $1 million dollars worth of Vivix is being sold each week and the demand is only increasing.
If you haven’t heard about Resveratrol yet, check this out:
Dr. David Sinclair, the leading scientific researcher on anti-aging in the world he talks about the Science of Anti-Aging.
Shaklee's Vivix is made from resveratrol. Then learn more about Vivix and how it can help you to feel years’ younger and live years longer: www.barefootbus.com
Check out what folks are saying about Vivix!
STROKE RECOVERY: A massive stroke 3 1/2 years ago (doctors attribute to my irregular heartbeat-- I believe it was stress) attacked my right brain (& basil ganglia) leaving my left side totally unavailable and the right brain majorly stressed, reactive, & depressed. Never totally giving up, taking handfuls of Shaklee supplements, exercising, listening to motivational cd's, getting Brain Gym balances, regular chiropractic care, etc., my progress was evident to those who knew me, including my doctors. But what they didn't see was the exhaustion and struggle it took. Then along came Vivix, August 15, less than 6 weeks ago. First I thought it was probably the placebo effect, but today I can tell you a few of the things I KNOW have changed.
BALANCE--so bad in the past that one of the many falls landed me under my rolling car, crushing my right leg, though not the bone. My balance has improved so much I now climb stairs, carrying something in EACH hand, and not even holding onto the rail.
ENERGY--so different now I can do 30 minutes on the treadmill, noting my improved heart rate & instead of having to take a nap, I take off to do errands, deliver Shaklee and attend a Spanish Class – in which I am much more focused.
FOCUS-- Always ADD and hypoglycemic, worse since numerous car wrecks in the 80's & the more recent stroke. I am experiencing now more blood sugar balance and longer attention spans--just finished reading a whole book in a couple of days and, most assuredly,I am making an A in the Spanish class (where my classmates & teacher are @ 1/3 my age).So I would say my mental acuity and memory are enhanced as well!
ATTITUDE--OH MY GOSH! I woke up this morning, like most others since starting on this magical stuff, full of vitality & optimism, and happy. LIFE IS GOOD! Thank you, God! Thank you Shaklee! I have my life back, better than ever! Sylvia Sue Greene - September 27, 2008
VIVIX vs. High Blood Pressure I have high blood pressure that is controlled by a diuretic and beta blocker combination medication. Usually even with medication my systolic ranges between 129-138 and my diastolic between 75-83 and my pulse would range anywhere from 80-91 (rarely dropping below 80).
After five days on Vivix™ my blood pressure was 111/69 and pulse 59. The only thing different that I have been doing prior to this low reading is Vivix™. The past few days, my bp seems to be consistently around 122/73 and pulse 70. That’s pretty pleasing to me. I hope to eventually be able to come off all medications. I do supplement with magnesium and CoQ10 to counteract what my bp medication causes in nutrient deficiencies, but I’d rather not have the stuff going through my system.
I have not been on any other medications, not changed my diet any and my exercise level is still around 7500 steps a day.
Overall, I seem to have more energy and am better able to concentrate. I would recommend that you take Vivix™ in the morning so you can get the benefit of more energy throughout the day. Genia Powell
