Resveratrol Testimony: High Blood Sugar Levels Lower

One of the benefits of marketing online is coming into contact with many Shaklee distributors outside of our group. I got a call from Rich yesterday, asking some questions about Vivix. He is a regular reader of this site and frequently uses it as a resource for information.

In our phone conversation yesterday Rich said he was a long time user of Shaklee products. (over 30 years) He was telling me he started the business way back but didn't like doing inventory and shipping products. At that time his dad was sponsored under him and working the business too. He said their family did a business re-organization, moved his dad above him and he continued to just be a good Shaklee product user. His Dad built the business up to "KEY Coordinator" (Shaklee's term for business size) before passing away, the business was then passed onto his sister who also passed away several months ago. So now Rich again is in control of the business. Isn't it amazing how the Shaklee business in his family came around full circle.

Rich not wanting to do business the traditional way, went online, found this site and is discovering a whole new way the business can be built. As we were talking he shared with me his vivix testimony. It was so compelling, I asked him to put it down in writing so I could share it.

Vivix is the brand name for Shaklee's resveratrol anti-aging product.

Here is Rich's Testimony...

Vivix is yielding major results lowering high blood sugar and elevated cholesterol

After years of working on a type 2 diabetic issues, losing more than 150 lbs., completely changing my diet to a new lifestyle, increasing water intake and much more, I seemed to reach a plateau of around 320 blood sugar levels. I added Vivix to my Shaklee nutritional program about 7 months ago. Vivix has made the difference in lowering my type 2 diabetes blood sugar levels and has reduced my bad cholesterol numbers significantly.

Thank God for Vivix, it is amazing. When I started Vivix, I had morning blood sugars of around 320, in 6 months I am seeing normal levels of 105 to 115 and the bad cholesterol is down over 50 points. I have also been taking 2 blood sugar drugs, as I have done before, but never with any significant results. The lowering of cholesterol has been without cholesterol drugs. I know it’s the Vivix product. Naturally, the right diet has been necessary to keep from adding to the sugar levels and many other Shaklee supplements and protein are in my program along with lots of water.

There is hope for lowering sugar levels, add Vivix to your daily program today and give is 4-6 months. Kudos to Shaklee for another providing another amazing supplement, Vivix.

Resveratrol Testimony: Back, Sciatic, Shoulder Pain Gone

I really never thought of using resveratrol to reduce pain, but if you think about it. Resveratrol protects and repairs your body's cells... that's what we are made of. Apparently resveratrol repaired the damaged cells that were causing the pain. Kinda cool huh...

Back Pain, Sciatic Pain & Shoulder Pain
I am so excited to share with you what has happened to me since I started on Vivix. I need to give you some history to understand my story. 35 years ago I cracked my tailbone when I fell off a snow tube. I have had trouble with my tailbone off & on ever since.

Two years ago I started on my weight loss program & cracked my tailbone again while exercising. This time it affected my sciatic nerve. I was in terrible pain. It hurt from my waist clear down to my toes. The chiropractor also told me that my lower disk was deteriorating. I have never experienced pain that intense! I had a lot of trouble sleeping at night. When I sat I had a shooting pain go down my leg. It would go numb if I sat too long.
During this time I lost 40# with Cinch and I know that helped. I tried to stay as active as possible & used a lot of Shaklee food supplements. Over time it got a little better but I still had trouble sleeping at night.

In April I changed health clubs and tried a new exercise machine. I knew I was in trouble when I started the exercise. I immediately felt a terrible pain in my lower back and my sciatic nerve was “HOT” again! I slowed down on my exercising a little but didn’t stop. Nights were the worst. My lower back felt like it was going to break in two. It was very hard to get out of bed. When I finally got out I was very stiff & it took a couple steps to get moving. I looked like an old lady. I started taking Advil to help relieve the pain so I could get some sleep at night.

Then in June I was pulling in the boat anchor & hurt my shoulders. It hurt really deep in my shoulder muscles. I use to sleep on my side with my arm under my pillow. I couldn’t sleep on my side due to my sciatic nerve pain & now due to my shoulders. I only got a couple hours of sleep a night due to the pain so the Advil increased. I was very discouraged because I didn’t know how much longer I could deal with the pain & lack of sleep. This happened daily until I was introduced to Vivix.

I started on Vivix on 8-9-08. About 2 wks later I noticed that the weights at the health club didn’t seem as heavy and I wasn’t as tired after my workouts. Then on 9-8-08 I noticed I slept a little better. It continued each night & my pain got a little less. On 9-11-08 I woke up on my side with my arm under my pillow! I could hardly believe it. I finally told my husband what had been happening since Sept. 8th. I didn’t want to tell anyone for a week just to make sure this wasn’t a fluke. The back breaking pain is gone! My sciatic nerve pain is gone! My shoulder pain is almost gone but I can still sleep on my side. I am sleeping again at night! I would never have believed that this could have happened just by adding Vivix! I haven’t had Advil since the 8th. Thank you Shaklee!!! My husband & I both have Vivix on autoship because we don’t want to run out. I just ordered another box of Vivix to keep on hand “just in case”. This is an incredible product!
Jim has noticed more energy & clarity of thought since he’s been on Vivix. Suzanne

Resveratrol Testimony - What Matters

This is another one of those testimonies that will knock your socks off! Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic Vivix hasn't been tested on children, so Shaklee has a caution statement on the box saying not intended for children or lactating women.

As you will discover in the testimony below these parents really didn't have lots to loose by giving it to their 7 year old daughter. I knew 8/8/08 (the day Vivix was released for sale) would be a day to remember...

I bet the parents of this child will be forever greatful for the day they were introduced to premium natural products Shaklee has taken from nature, tested and provided.

Hi friends,

Just wanted you to know some fantastic news!!!!! We've told you about
our friends daughter (7 years old) that has the cancerous brain tumor.

To refresh your memory - she was diagnosed a year ago this week with a very progressive tumor - not much hope for her at all (maybe 3 years max).
They started chemo at Mayo right away and it has been a long road, but
prayers And Shaklee have made a difference.

They put her on Nutriferon and I believe the kids vitamins. She continued to hold her own and did pretty good. We called them from New Orleans and told them about Vivix and they ordered some right away. What did they have to lose.

She has been taking Vivix since August and the tumor has shrunk during the last three visits to Mayo. Their last visit was sooo amazing! The doctor said they can hardly detect it now!!!!!

She no longer has to do chemo and the doctors said to "keep doing, what you're doing" because chemo does not do this to this kind of tumor.

She is not out of the woods yet, but it is looking very good! Thank you God & Thank you Shaklee!!!!! Miracles happen! ~Don & Tracy, Shaklee Business Leaders


When I saw this testimony I felt a sense of urgency to share it with you..

What Matters

One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car I drove what kind of house I lived in, how much I had in my bank account nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.

Anti Aging Resveratrol Testimony of 90 yr old

This testimony is like a breath of fresh air. I work at home online and generally don't see many people but about once a week. Last night we went to a chicken BBQ fundraiser the local FFA (Future Farmers of America) hosted. It was so sad for me to see several overweight young students. All I could think about is what their quality of life will be in 20 years.

When this testimony of a 90 yr. old came across my desk, it felt so good to know as a Shaklee distributor I have the products and education to make a difference in the lives of people young and old.

As you read through this testimony, I bet you have a loved one who you would love to see results like this "Dad" has had. Here is the testimony.....

My Dad was VERY unhealthy in his sixties before Shaklee. Then Shaklee came along and my mother made sure he took generous servings daily for years. Dad is 90 years old now and still runs his lumberyard, sees his lady friend daily and is very sharp mentally.

When Vivix came along, my Dad did not think he needed it. I gave him the "talk" about the need for it and gave him the "talk" again several months in a row to convince him he needed it daily. Now he is absolutely convinced and takes it every day without fail. These are his results. By the way, Dad takes no medications at all, his health kit is Shaklee nutrition which he eats daily. His eyesight is better, his skin looks younger (many people think he is in his 60's as he really looks that young), his heart is stronger (he had a some irregularity in his heartbeat at his last checkup, his heart is beating stronger and with a more regular beat now), but the one that Dad is really thrilled about is the lack of pain in his stomach.

He lifted something quite heavy about five years ago and felt something tear. He had blood in his urine so visited the doctor and was checked with several tests and nothing could be found. But since that time he has had an uncomfortable feeling and he cannot lift anything very heavy, sometimes I think my Dad thinks he is 20 again. He was so excited to share with me a couple of weeks ago the pain is gone from whatever the problem was. He can lift again with no pain.

I write this as people seem to feel that past a certain age, improvement is impossible. Not so, Dad has proved that. ~Sondra


Something to think about. Vivix (Anti Aging Resveratrol) protects and repairs the DNA of the cell. This is EVERY cell in your body! Can you think of any adult that couldn't be helped by this product? By the time we turn 18 their probably isn't anyone immune to a damaged cell in their body at one time or another. Just like this "Dad" 5 years ago something happened in his stomach that didn't repair itself until he had a little help from Vivix.

The human body if given the right nutrients has the ability to heal itself. I've been blessed to have the ability to educate and help folks understand we all have choices about our body. We can choose what we put in or on it. The choice is yours, my job is to bring you the information to make an informed decision.

Forget Botox: 25 Healthy Celebrity Anti-Aging Secrets

Guest writer Kelly Sonora from ultrasoundtechnicianschools.org sent this to me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

While some celebrities depend on plastic surgery and botox to look young well beyond their actual youth, other stars embrace aging and rely on more natural remedies and healthy treatments to keep their skin, bodies and attitude young. Check out these fail-proof ways to stay youthful without doing anything drastic.

Lifestyle
These lifestyle tips will help keep you stay active, engaged and healthy as long as you can.


  1. Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight drains energy, so stay in good health and at a sensible weight for your shape in order to keep up with the younger crowd.

  2. Exercise: Stars have to stay in top shape for their movie roles and magazine covers. Exercise boosts energy, keeps your muscles and bones strong, and helps you maintain a youthful figure. The Washington Post even reports that "physically active people have cells that look younger on a molecular level than those of couch potatoes."

  3. Eat for your bikini body: Popular celebrity diets center around lean proteins, eating several small meals a day, and watching calories. While drastic calorie restriction diets haven’t been proven to lengthen life in humans, eating healthy foods that are low in fat and cholesterol is.

  4. Wear sunscreen: Now that fake tans are gaining popularity, celebrities don’t have to lie out in the sun to get their glowing complexion. Wearing sunscreen is a must when you want to prevent wrinkles and damaging sunburns, like Amy Adams does.

  5. Drink lots of water: Keeping your body and skin hydrated contributes to a glowing, clear and young-looking complexion. It’s also a favorite beauty and anti-aging treatment of celebrities like Eva Mendes.

  6. Challenge yourself: In order to stay in the spotlight, celebrities have to reinvent themselves and challenge themselves in creative ways. By challenging yourself, you can remain more connected to society and flex your brain power at the same time, both key ingredients to slowing down the aging process.

  7. Travel: Another way to keep your brain active and engaged is to travel. Celebrities have the budget to travel to expensive resorts and exotic locations, but even taking a day trip to a nearby town will do the trick.

  8. Find time to relax: Stress contributes to wrinkles and poor health, so find time to relax by taking time off or saving for early retirement.

  9. Surround yourself with younger people: Halle Berry credits her youthful-looking skin and outlook on life to her much younger boyfriend. Gabriel Aubrey is 10 years her junior, and other stars like Demi Moore have also benefited from younger mates who keep them feeling and looking like a teenager.

  10. Be honest with yourself: Stars like Cindy Crawford are embracing their aging bodies, even if that means admitting they have cellulite. Accepting your age and the little imperfections that go along with it will help you feel more liberated and carefree.

  11. Stay social: Celebrities have packed social lives, which helps keep brain function sharp and makes you feel like you still live an exciting, fulfilling life.

  12. Pursue religion: If your childhood religion isn’t fulfilling, explore other religions or spiritual paths, like Buddhism or even yoga. Christy Turlington is a strong proponent of the yogi lifestyle, and at 40 years old, she maintains a successful modeling career and is still considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.

  13. Make an effort: If you don’t even make an effort to look your best, you’ll look way older than you really are. While you don’t need to primp as much as a celebrity on the red carpet, pay attention to the basic grooming and health habits that contribute to looking and feeling young.


Specific Treatments and Prevention

Here you can learn about celebrity treatments like acai berry wrinkle cream, microdermabrasion, eye masks and good dental hygiene to stay young.

  1. Sleep on your back: Heather Locklear suggests sleeping on your back, rather than your stomach, to avoid getting wrinkles. Celebrity Beauty Buzz reports that sleeping on your stomach with your face in your pillow contributes to wrinkles over time.

  2. Color your hair: Don’t fry your hair, but when it starts to turn gray or lose its natural sheen, get some highlights to keep your look vibrant.

  3. Drink red wine: Drink red wine with your dinner to relax and unwind, and also to help slow the aging process. Resveratrol is the ingredient in red wine that is attributed to anti-aging power and helps body tissue remain healthy and strong.

  4. Microdermabrasion: This skin cleansing treatment is popular with celebrities like Cindy Crawford. If you have clogged pores, sun damaged skin, age spots, very oily skin or wrinkles, microdermabrasion can help smooth out and clarify your complexion.

  5. Sugar Acai Age Delay Body Cream: Stars like Charlize Theron are huge fans of this Amazon body cream that makes skin firmer. Oprah is also a fan of the benefits of the acai berry, which contains 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes, plus dietary fiber, monounsaturated fats and essential amino acids.

  6. Start anti-aging treatments early: Even young stars are photographed at the spa and purchasing anti-wrinkle creams. The trick to preventing physical aging signs is by starting early. Use wrinkle creams in your 20s, and always use sunscreen.

  7. Wash your face before you go to bed: Letting make-up, especially eye make-up, settle into your skin overnight builds up oil, the potential for acne, and even the gunk that contributes to wrinkles and inflammation. Wash your face like Ashanti before going to bed.

  8. Pay attention to your teeth: Bright, white teeth convey the message that you haven’t had enough time to stain them with coffee or red wine. Use white strips, floss, get teeth cleanings, and consider getting a professional whitening job to help your teeth look whiter.

  9. Buy new beauty products: Throw out old beauty products if they’re over one-year old, or less for mascara. These products may breed micro-organisms that can cause infections, so treat yourself to new make-up every so often.

  10. Use an eye mask: Celebrity Beauty Buzz reports that thirty-nine year-old volleyball player Gabrielle Reece uses the Guinot Masque Yeux Instant Eye-Mask "to moisturize her tired eyes." Even if you don’t indulge in this pricey product, whip up your own eye mask or treatment to get the same effect.

  11. Wear stockings and French lingerie: Nigella Lawson tells Esquire that she depends on stockings and French schoolgirl socks to make her feel sexy and young.

  12. Add shimmer to your make-up routine: Splendicity reveals that adding a small amount of bronzer and shimmer eyeshadow in the right places can help your complexion look more vibrant and supple. Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez and Debra Messing all use shimmer to add more definition to their faces.
