The Dow Jones average dropped 60 points this morning (9-30) after Merck Company withdrew Vioxx from the market. (1) This popular 5-year old pain medication accounted for 2.5 Billion in sales last year!Although a study 4 years ago suggested that there was increased risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack and stroke), it took an additional 4 years before the product was removed from the market place.
Vioxx has been prescribed heavily for arthritic pain complaints.As a Cox-2 inhibitor, it was considered the “safe alternative” to the use of NSAIDs like Aleve.This is the last in a long line of pain relief preparations that have turned out to cause serious health risks.My fear is that those suffering from joint pain may now return to the use of NSAIDs for relief. PLEASE DON’T!!!
In 1998 the American Journal of Medicine reported that that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone.(2)This is the same as 3 jumbo jet plane crashes a week of people dying.What would the government do if there was 3 crashes this week?What have they done about the same number of people dying from the use of over-the-counter pain meds?Mostly they have accepted soft money from pharmaceutical manufacturers to run their campaigns!
The good news for those suffering from arthritic (or other) pain is Shaklee’s trio of pain relief products.They work, they are safe, and they are guaranteed by the most-respected supplement manufacturer, bar none!
“Pain Relief Complex” is for the treatment of arthritic pain.The primary ingredient, Boswellia extract has been used in India for a long time to reduce joint pain. It possesses good anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and analgesic activity.A recent study on patients with OA of the knee using Boswellia found decreases in knee pain, increased knee flexion and increased walking distance. The frequency of swelling in the knee joint was also decreased.Other studies have also found it effective for the treatment of chronic and ulcerative colitis!This product promises to be a great benefit to those with the arthritic pain. (3)
“Joint and Muscle Pain Cream” is a topical cream which provides quick penetrating relief from the muscle and joint pain associated with overuse during exercise.The active ingredient is menthol, which is found in many other sport rubs.Shaklee’s new cream has improved on that concept by improving the delivery, with their patented liposome delivery system.This makes it fast acting and provides prolonged release!
“Joint Health Complex”The active agent is Glucosamine Hydrochloride. The research on Glucosamine goes back to the early 1980’s (4)and has demonstrated not just the reduction of symptoms, but also improvements in the health (and in 25% of cases) the thickness of articular cartilage!
So, for those suffering from the pain and disability of osteoarthritis, a combination of Joint Health Complex and the new Pain Relief Complex is recommended.For those who experience the aches and pains of daily overactivity (like from prolonged computer usage, or weekend sports activities) then the Joint and Muscle Pain Cream should be just what you need!I hope you find this information of value (and relief)!

I first heard about Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein when my son, Stephen, was struggling with academics in the 5th grade. We couldn't afford to send him to a private tutor, and I mentioned his needs to fellow teacher Kitty Pevey. She suggested trying Shaklee's Soy Protein.
Stephen began using the Soy Protein in his chocolate milk every morning before going to school. His grades began to improve dramatically, and in the 6th grade, he made the honor roll each quarter.
He has continued to use Shaklee Soy Protein every morning before school and is now in the 8th grade. Now he is in all advanced classes and is academically doing excellently!
I have also been excited to learn of soy protein's benefits for building a healthy heart, as well as for brain development. I believe that in the long term this could really help him overcome a genetic tendency from in my husband's family toward heart disease.
In the past eight years, vitamin supplements have made a world of difference in my physical well-being. I grew up in a home where nutrition was important, long before it was popular. I learned to eat well and take care of my body to the best of my ability. We also learned about vitamins, but I didn't get into that end of things much because 1) I couldn't tell what was the difference between one brand and another at the store. 2) I have such a small capacity for food that swallowing a bunch of tablets or capsules took up valuable room for food.
In 1992, about the time I was beginning to develop disturbing symptoms which later were diagnosed as radiation degeneration, a dear friend told me about Shaklee products.
I learned about the company and its philosophy of "products in harmony with nature and good health", the in-house scientific research, and the whole-food sources for their nutritional products. I talked with people who had wonderful health responses on the supplements, heard talks by medical professionals who had come to realize the importance of supplementation and the effectiveness of Shaklee in particular.
Convinced that I had found an excellent answer to maintaining my health, I began to add Shaklee supplements to my diet. I even found that taking them with the Shaklee Performance sports drink left me with plenty of room for food! I regained strength and health that I had lost through five pregnancies and eleven moves in almost 20 years. And it was just in time to provide an answer to the problems I was developing.
I had been having increasing discomfort in my back, and muscle spasms were starting. At times, I was unable to move without stabbing pain in my lower back, and only got up to crawl to the bathroom. I had started doing research into nutritional answers to problems, and was asking Shaklee friends for suggestions. I found out that a lack of calcium and magnesium could lead to muscle spasms. And inflammation was a problem. I began to take Shaklee's Calcium Magnesium and Alfalfa tablets, and the problem faded away! The Alfalfa became a favorite of mine. It's a natural anti-inflammatory, muscle healer, and digestive aid (stress caused me digestive problems, just to name a few of its many attributes.
I learned that Beta Carotene (the basis for Shaklee's Carotomax) is a natural radiation scavenger, so that became a mainstay, too. A favorite by-word in Shaklee is that the supplements have "side benefits", not side effects. The one that amazed me was how the beta carotene changed the itchy, scabby radiation burn on my waist to smooth baby-skin!
It's sad that so few medical professionals are taught about nutrition, and are so closed to hearing about the good they can do. I know that it's partly due to the heavy emphasis in medical schools on drugs as the solution to our health problems. And it's also partly due to the mostly trashy synthetic vitamins on the market. Dr. Shaklee, one of the first researchers to isolate and identify nutrients, said that synthetic vitamins are backward in molecular structure to vitamins from food sources, and end up acting like a toxin in your body, doing you no good!
I've so enjoyed learning about nutrition and health from Shaklee people, and the overall wonderful and often amazing health stories of many of them are a testimony to the truth of what I've learned.
The Shaklee supplements have kept me from being dependent on drugs for comfort, and have given me health and energy that I'd been losing for years.
From Powercat... Hey this stuff really works several years ago I got caught up in the antibotic route too and these Shaklee Products pulled me out of it. I'm Antibotic FREE for 11+ years...
Here is a testomonie from an avid Shaklee product user. I know for myself Immune Building Complex is not a product that I want to run out of. It works great keeping my allergies under control...powercat By Elisabeth Taylor Our products are truly marvelous. The Immune Building Complex - wow!!! I had swollen glands under and around my ear, terrible ear ache and headache that would not go away, regardless of how many products I took. I called my upline to inquire if she knew anything else that I could do. She suggested that I take three IBC (Immune Building Complex) every hour.
Right away the headache went away. Within three hours the swollen glands and ear ache were gone. By the time I had taken 12 IBC I felt much much better.
I want to stock up and tell everyone in my group and everyone else I know to have a good supply of IBC on hand and to take it as I did. We can help many many people over the winder colds and flu season.
Cyclists rode stationary bicycles at 70% VO2 max for two to three hours. Shaklee Performance, other carbohydrate-electrolyte prototypes, and water were given to the athletes at the rate of one liter per hour. Shaklee Performance maintained blood glucose levels significantly higher than water throughout the test period, while maintaining plasma volume equal to that of water. Shaklee Performance also maintained a higher plasma osmolality than water, helping balance thirst with fluid needs and supporting the osmotic drive to drink. It was also the best-tolerated of all the carbohydrate-electrolyte prototypes.
Maximizing endurance
Shaklee Performance helped maintain athletes* blood glucose levels for muscle energy and fluid levels for proper hydration. After more than three hours of vigorous cycling in the laboratory, during which time the cyclists consumed either Shaklee Performance or water, the speed was turned up even higher. At this sprint pace, Shaklee Performance drinkers endured for 33 minutes, while the water-only group lasted just two minutes.**

There are many people who know about Shaklee and remember that's the product my Grandma used to use. Well I'm here to tell you Shaklee is still Here and Better than ever!
Here is what some loyal customers have to say:
I love their products because they are clinically tested, all natural, safe, and very effective. Physique is the one that I like most. --Tina
Phsique is an after workout supplement I used while I was bodybuilding ten years ago. I got tremendous results. I also took Shaklee's soy protein three times a day in addition to my three meals a day. It was a cheaper and more convenient way to get my required six daily meals. As I prepare to train again, I have looked at the EAS supplements and found these two Shaklee products to be superior to Myo-plex and at a lesser price. Shaklee is a multi-level marketing concept and you should be able to find an independent distributor in your area. Heck, you could become one if you chose to. They really do have marvelous products.-- Eddy
Shaklee Corporation is as vital as ever, producing "products in harmony with nature and good health" for almose 50 years. Check out their web site at www.shaklee.net/amcasey One of the many great things about Shaklee's approach to producing supplements is that they do much research themselves, unlike any other supplement producer to my knowledge. To date, Shaklee has had over 90 research abstracts published in peer-reviewed journals. They believe in doing the scientific research to prove a need for a supplement, then produce organically-grown, often kosher-certified, guaranteed potency supplements in as natural a state as possible. They do not product 'fad' supplements, and only offer products they can prove are the best on the market. -- Powercat
Below is some information from T.S. Eschholz, Jr, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and President of Fitness Crafters. “To give you some background, I am a certified strength and conditioning specialist. At this point, I will not accept anyone for training unless they use Shaklee products. I can say without reservation, those people that I have trained over the years who have used Shaklee products are more consistent in their gains, suffer fewer injuries, and recuperate more rapidly than the people who do not use Shaklee products as the base of their dietary/nutrition program.
I also strongly believe that it is my general responsibility both as a Shaklee Independent Distributor and as strength and conditioning specialist to strive to optimize people's health. If I am training someone and that person is not in, or striving to obtain optimal health, that person can never attain the true peak performance of which he/she is capable. If a person is not on a strong Shaklee nutrition program, he/she is not coming close to optimizing his/her health. Consequently, that person is not optimizing his/her athletic performance.
My own introduction to Shaklee was a consequence of meeting Dr. Gary Mendelson through the vehicle of the martial arts. He and I began a discussion about nutrition. At the time, I had been involved in investigating and using nutrition products/ supplements since 1973 with the focus of improving sports and combat performance. When Gary mentioned Shaklee, I told him that I had never heard of the company but because I respected him I would play his silly game. I started with Shaklee's Instant Protein, Vita Lea, Physique, Herb-Lax, and Performance.
Four weeks later, my bench press was up 40 pounds for a personal best, my squat was up 60 pounds for a personal best, I was doing straight leg dead lifts on a bench with 80 pound dumbbells and in the down position my wrists were on line with the bottom of my feet (another personal best), my body-fat dropped from 11% to 9%, my energy level increased, and I was not hungry all the time.
Now that you have my background, here are some perspectives and information. There is no other protein source which is better assimilated by the body than Shaklee’s Protein. Back to the basic health issue (anticancer, cholesterol lowering, etc), everyone should have a minimum of 30 grams daily and preferably 60 grams of soy protein daily. An excellent article by Derek Cornelius, owner of Syntrax Innovations Inc, in the Dec 98 Iron Man magazine pointed out the advantages of Soy proteins vs. Whey. Some excerpts from that article ... "every 100 grams of whey protein provides 20.1 grams of branch-chain amino acids (BCAA) and 4.9 grams of glutamine---the amino acid bodybuilders can't seem to get enough of. For every 100 grams of soy protein you get 18.1 grams of BCAAs -- only two grams less than whey --but you get a whopping 10.5 grams of glutamine, more than double what you get with whey. Glutamine aids in muscle protein synthesis, and because it exists the muscle after intense training, body builders need as much glutamine as they can get. Soy is definitely glutamine-rich, which makes it a bodybuilding super supplement.
Soy also has a number of other hard-to-beat benefits for hard training bodybuilders as well as health-conscious people in the general population:
It's very inexpensive (my comment -- you cannot get a better value than Shaklee Instant Protein)
It has the highest Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) which is quickly taking over from biological value (BV) as the most accurate measure of protein quality.
It's very soluble if processed correctly (my comment -- No problem there)
It's bland, which is a good thing because it doesn't take much flavoring to make it palatable.
It improves kidney function.
It is anti carcinogenic.
It is anti-estrogenic, which may help prevent the aromatization of pro-hormones.
It lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol, and raises the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the good cholesterol.
It improves thyroid function.
It's not an animal protein, so vegetarians can use it to augment their nutrition.
Soy definitely has some outstanding and unique advantages over whey, especially in the muscle-building department. Moving on to Physique, (Shaklee's Workout Maximizer supplement) Physique is an amazing product and their research is often quoted in muscle magazines without crediting the source while others promote their products on the back of Shaklee research. Most body builders do not realize the importance of the insulin response post training; however, they should be well impressed by the percent BCAA content of Physique. Based on my reading, I currently use the following formula to determine the optimal post work amount of Physique to use after heavy training. Lean Body Mass (LBM) in lbs divided by 2.2 = LBM in kilograms (Kg); LBM in Kg = carbs required; carbs required divided by 9.5 = scoops of Physique. Physique is optimally taken within five minutes post workout. Taken more than 30 minutes post workout, Physique will not provide the anabolic response. Timeliness with regard to Physique usage is critical. Physique works for both the strength/bodybuilding athlete as well as the endurance athlete. Natural bodybuilders should use Performance (Shaklee's Maximum Endurance Sports Drink). I have yet to have anyone not get improved workouts. Optimally, it is used starting 15-30 minutes before starting the work out. Understand you will likely want to cut back as you approach competition. Performance's blend of electrolytes will help prevent water retention and Shaklee's Alfalfa Complex, DTX, (Detoxifier) and Herb-lax (natural laxative) will also facilitate in that area.

BY:Maggie Greenwood-Robinson, Ph.D Soy may prevent your body from stockpiling fat as you age - plus increase body-firming muscle Are you getting older and wider? If so, try introducing more soy into your diet - specifically soy that is high in isoflavones, naturally occurring estrogen-like compounds in legumes.
In a study conducted by researchers at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, menopausal women were given 40 gm a day of soy protein high in isoflavones, soy protein devoid of isoflavones or whey protein. At the end of 24 weeks, changes in the women’s body composition were measured by a low-level radiation scan. Women who consumed isoflavone-rich soy gained lean muscle in their waists, hips and thighs, plus lost fat in their thighs - two favorable changes in body composition. The researchers do not offer an explanation as to why soy appears to be a fat fighter and muscle builder, although they comment that it arrests the weight gain and loss of muscle that typically occur during menopause. Interestingly, research also indicates soy protein significantly reduces body fat storage in animals.
All of this is good news, especially if you’re approaching middle age. Paring away pudge reduces your odds of obesity-related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, plus makes you look and feel good. As for muscle gain, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest. There are may other good reasons to fortify your diet with soy foods. Other research shows isoflavone-rich soy may help normalize cholesterol, lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of prostate cancer, enhance bone health and improve short-and long-term memory. Some good sources of isoflavones include soy protein powdered supplements (53 mg. of isoflavones per serving) and fortified soy milk (43 mg per serving). Shoot for around 25 to 40 gm of soy protein daily.
Note:Soy must be water washed to maintain the Phyto-chemicals and Phyto-estrogens in the soy. Many companies use alcohol to wash their soy. This is why Shaklee uses only water to wash the soy.
How Shaklee Sport Nutrition products have changed my life!
About 3 years ago I had bladder surgery, which resulted with complications, hernias, and 6 months later, repair surgery by Dr.Gottschalk. He encouraged walking as much as possible to strengthen my stomach muscles, with the aid of an abdomen brace.
I was determined to get back to the fitness my body had one year earlier, and I was going to use the Physique this time in addition to the previous Protein, etc. After 4 weeks the brace came off, and I slowly, painfully, using walls, rails, I made my way out to the car and to the YMCA track once around. Arriving home I took a Physique drink. The next morning; (knowing I could walk around the track, hanging on to the rail), I went to the Y. Much to my amazement I was able to slowly shuffle my feet around the track not only once but four times. Friends watched in unbelief as I accomplished this task. I went home and took another Physique drink. The next morning at 6 a.m. because of Physique, I went eight times around the track. I was on the road to recovery. Four weeks later, Dr. G. encouraged starting to jog with my brace one block first day, then added one block per day from then on.
Friends from the Y, encouraged me to run with them. Before long I was running W.Salem hills: a task I thought I could never do even before my last two surgery. I ran in March '98 the Shamrock Run along with fellow Y runners. Due to hip injury, I race walked the Steen Mt Run a few months later and took a third place. With Y runners encouragement I ran my first marathon in October ' 98; The Portland Marathon.
Due to a water puddle left on the floor of the YMCA, I obtained a Sciatic Nerve injury. My right leg went numb all the way. I started taking more Joint Heaalth Complex, and Optiflora was added to my Food Supplements list, recommended by a Shaklee Supervisor. It took me six weeks before I found Dr. David Gasser. In the meantime I went from stretching, crawling, stretching, walking backwards, posture improvement, (I found out by trial and error, walking backwards was less painful) and hopelessly tried acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, etc.
Dr. Gasser was able to help me to the point where I am 90% healed from the injury. He also started me running on soft surfaced versus hard pavement.
Dr Gasser gave me the O.K. to train for the 50 miler and 100 miler. He advised me to lose 10 pounds; which is like 40 pounds less when you run. I went on I Love Dieting program two weeks before my 50 miler.
Needless to say to those who are familiar with this program I drank Shaklee 's Slim Plan and Protein during this race with energy left to run more! Thanks to the " I Love Dieting" program I weigh 16 lbs. less and my running speed has become faster.
Shaklee supplements used: All Shaklee Sports Products, ' I Love Dieting ' recommended food supplements, Instant Protein, Slim Plan, Optiflora, Joint Health Complex.
From a happy Shaklee product user... They said it couldn't be done! But then, they didn't understand the power of God, Nature and Shaklee! Since the time the horse I was riding last July 11th reared up and went over backwards on top of me, I have constantly astounded the doctors who have treated me. We're talking about 800 pounds crashing down on me from about 5-6 feet in the air! The EMT's thought surely I must have broken bones and internal injuries, and flew me to Shock-Trauma in Baltimore. Doctors found it hard to believe that I wasn't hurt worse than I was. However, I had been taking large numbers of Shaklee supplements for 5 1/2 years to help keep my MS (Multiple Sclerosis) under control, and I credit them with strengthening my bones and tissues, preventing more serious injuries. I also thank the Lord for protecting me in the fall, which could have been another story had we fallen differently. The most serious injuries I had were a severely "crushed" thigh muscle and two torn ligaments in my left knee. I was pretty much bruised all over, plus I also had a broken nose from the horse thrashing around on top of me after the fall, and torn cartilage where a rib met the sternum - from being pulled out from under the horse. I used Borage Oil to reduce pain and swelling, from about 5 minutes after the accident. Although doctors wanted to give me morphine for the pain, I resisted and was able to control the pain and swelling nicely with 2,000 mg. of Borage oil, taken every 2-3 hours around the clock.
I told my doctors I thought I could heal my knee injuries with supplements, but every doctor that saw me told me that while the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) would probably heal on it's own, the torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) would have to be surgically repaired. They showed me on the MRI film where the ACL was completely severed, and said it was not possible for it to mend itself. If I didn't have surgery, I would always have problems, they said. Still, I wanted to try to heal it with supplements, and they agreed to wait and let me see what could be done. Through a priesthood blessing, I received counsel from the Lord which gave me direction as I began my recovery program. Keeping that in mind, I proceeded to put nature to work healing my wounds, via Shaklee's top-quality, natural food supplements. The nose and torn rib cartilage were nearly healed in 10 days, and totally healed in three weeks with lots of Shaklee supplements. The crushed thigh muscle took longer, but healed nicely. My knee seemed to me to be healing really well as time went on, and I kept it protected with a brace for 2 1/2 months. As weeks went by, the progress in my knee continued to please my doctor, until on October 19th, after examination, he said that it had healed beyond the point that he would automatically recommend surgery. He said surgery would be optional at that point. I asked for another MRI to see what was going on inside the knee, to help me decide on whether or not to opt for the surgery, and he agreed that it would be a good idea.
I had the MRI done and returned to the doctor on October 30th for his review. He was amazed and very impressed when he saw the MRI report and viewed the films themselves! The ACL had grown back after all, and after a very "vigorous" examination, he found that my knee had no instability at all! He said he had never seen that happen, and didn't know how to explain it! He said I would not need surgery; my knee should be fine after it finished healing! He wants me to be cautious for the next couple of months as it continues to heal and strengthen the ligaments, so as not to disrupt the healing that has occurred thus far. I asked him if he wanted some information on the supplements that I had used, and he said he would be very interested in it. I gave him a "Health Care Professional's Packet," to which I added "The Shaklee Difference" and a "Product Guide." He said he would read it and keep it on file for people who were interested in trying supplements. By the way, as many of you may know, stress is a trigger for MS, yet with the additional Shaklee supplements, I was also able to keep my MS under control through all the stress of the accident and injuries. The supplements I took (larger quantities, more often at first, then less often as healing progressed): Some Physique at the beginning; Slim Plan w/ Instant Protein Soy Mix; Vita Lea; Vita C S-R; Vita E Plus; Zinc; Alfalfa; Osteokinetics; Acuity Plus; Borage Oil - 2000 mg. every 2-3 hours for pain and inflammation; EPA; Lecithin; Carotomax; Garlic; Calcium-Magnesium. I thank God and Shaklee for my "miraculous" recovery, and I thank God for sending "angels" into my life, to share Shaklee and their knowledge of alternative therapies with me. I also thank God for Shaklee - I truly believe that Dr. Shaklee was inspired as he developed the amazing products and company which have helped so many. They have helped me to overcome tremendous personal health challenges and have enabled me to help others, as well.

Joint Health Complex Results - Hip, Knee, Rotator Cuff, etc.
Hip surgery Joint Health Complex works great! No more knee pain... 4/99 Just want to let you know the Joint Health Complex is working better than anything I have ever taken before. I am so accustomed to the chronic knee pain that I forgot how great my knee feels when it isn't hurting. I rode 23 miles on Tuesday with 30 pounds of Anna on the back of my bike. My knee hurt a little after 18 miles. So I iced it and took three extra Joint Health Complex before I went to bed. On Wednesday, I was pain free! Amazing. Many, many thanks, Becky Sittason
hip surgery - 7/98 I have osteoarthritis and take the joint health complex and alfalfa. I recently added EPA and that really helped. It works best with B-complex, Calcium Magnesium and Vita E (per Carol Dalton's tape on arthritis). Funny, I ordered the EPA for my skin and it got rid of the rest of my "stickiness" in my knee in the morning and after a long drive, etc. My pain is gone!
Swollen Knee question - 12/98 Answer: Has she tried Physique? Often when it is a tissue or muscle problem, it really works wonderfully well. Donna Resnick
Arthritis Program Extends Life
Hi Vickie, Thanks for your inquiry and for your continued support. My mother had arthritis when we got into Shaklee and she was so unhealthy that we were looking for something to help her. We found Shaklee, her health improved and we were excited.
We ALWAYS start people with an ounce of soy protein, Vita Lea (minimum of 2 per day), Vita-C ( 2-5 grams a day), and as much Alfalfa as it takes to reduce inflamation in the affected areas ( I take about 10-15 a day for my arthritis). This may all sound extreme but I sincerely believe that we had my mother around for an additional 20 years because of Shaklee. Most people didn't give her 5 years to live in 1970 and she died in 1993. It was well worth it!! GLA and Joint Health Complex came around in the last 3 years so she didn't get the benefit of them. I eat 5 Joint Health Complex a day and 3 GLA and my joints aren't as painful. Randy
Rotator cuff injury - 12/98 My father-in-law had a torn rotator cuff and arthritis in his shoulder. I gave him a bottle of Joint Health Complex to try. He is the kind of person who "doesn't need vitamins". After about 2 months, he noticed the pain was less. He was having cortisone shots and taking some kind of medication. After being on the Joint Health Complex, he was able to stop all other treatments. He was even able to go golfing this summer with no pain afterward. He has told anyone he meets that has some type of joint pain about Joint Health Complex. Hope this helps. Dave and Debbie Osenni
Recovery from Rotator Cuff Injury - 10/99 Shoulder Testimony My husband Ken had rotator cuff surgery year ago this month. He had a complete tear all the way through. I would like to share his recovery. First he was back to work within 6 weeks, which is very early for that type of surgery, before the surgery he took double alfalfa, double joint health complex and double calcium. Right after the surgery he started taking 3 tablespoons of Physique twice a day plus the other supplements. He did fine and returned to work early and continued taking all his Shaklee supplements.
This past week he went in for his year check up. The Dr. who is very well known for his shoulder surgery and has a excellent reputation was taken aback. He couldn't believe that Ken had such a complete recovery. He again asked his age (which is 55) and said that he had never seen that much muscle development return in an injury of his kind or the range of motion return to that extent. Ken is a very faithful supplement taker and swears that he never could have made it through without Shaklee. He continues to take all the supplements especially the alfalfa 20-30 tablets a day and 2 joint health complex twice daily, he also feels the Vita E helped his healing process. Jane DePagter
The Shaklee glucosamine supplement, Joint Health Complex, is a multi-blend of herbal ingredients unlike any product I have seen so far. I have checked out many different brands at stores and no product I've looked at compares to Shaklee Joint Health Complex. It's a one-of-a-kind!
Joint Health Complex "begins" with Glucosamine. Next is the herb Devil's Claw, then Alfalfa. All three of these ingredients are known to help people who suffer with arthritis, specifically, Osteoarthritis. Next there are minerals that are known to be helpful that are in Joint Health Complex, and they include Boron, Zinc, Copper, and Manganese. So, with Shaklee Joint Health Complex, you have a proprietary blend of 7 ingredients all designed to work together to help to build and maintain cartilage in the joints, and also will help to reduce inflamation in the joints. The result most people experience after using Joint Health Complex (3 capsules per day) for a month is a reduction of pain and stiffness in the joints, and greater freedom of movement.
We have many satisfied customers (including myself, bum knee no longer bum!) that have told us how thankful they are for Shaklee Joint Health Complex and how much better (and younger!) they feel because Joint Health Complex works and does what it is supposed to do, reduce the inflamation and pain in the joints, and provide greater freedom of movement in the joints.

KNEE REPLACEMENT surgery - 4/99 Carol Dalton put out an excellent tape on Preparing for and Recovering from Surgery. If he's on all the supplements he should be fine. I have found that Zinc is great with bone pain, and with healing from surgery. Laurine
KNEE REPLACEMENT surgery - 4/99 My wife, Myra, just had total left hip replacement and is doing great!!! You have to see it to believe it. She has been taking loads of Shaklee for years. After listening to the Carol Dalton, she even stepped up the supplementation. Took them to hospital with. Sipped on Performance during her stay. . Has not had even one pain in the surgery area.
Osteoarthritis - 4/99 Zann, I have been on Joint Health Complex for a year now and I have Osteo in my toes real bad. It has helped me. I have quit taking my medication for a year now and I feel great. I am now trying to get my Doctor to try it on others. Also, my Aunt has been on it since Jan. of this year and she could hardly get off the couch and walk. She is now doing great with Joint Health Complex. She works at Wal-Mart here in Troy, Ohio and she is getting her co-workers started on Joint Health Complex. Tony
Osteoarthritis - 4/99 I'm now 44 and have had very painful spinal osteoarthritis since my early 30's. I refused meds for years until someone told me they hurt just watching me move! The dr. put me on high dose aspirin. This lead to really wierd and fluctuating deafness, but because of major stress and other health problems, I never associated it with the aspirin until 1 1/2 years later, but my hearing returned 24 hrs after stopping the aspirin (spring 1993). Then I began rounds of various NSAIDs: ibuprofen, ketophren (spelling?), voltarin, and many others. Some were completely ineffective, others worked for a few months, but none completely relieved the pain. The other health problems (chronic fatigue syndrome) led me to Shaklee, and I tried high doses of alfalfa and EPA but didn't notice any improvement in the arthitic pain although I definitely improved in overall health.
I finally decided to just forget the meds because they weren't helping that much anyhow. My doctor then told me that he would no longer need to monitor my liver enzymes! I hadn't realized that the meds put my liver at risk! The following year Shaklee came out with Joint Health Complex. Exactly 3 weeks after I started taking joint health complex, I was able to get out of bed without taking at least 5 minutes due to severe pain. I have some bad spinal problems that means I will probably never be painfree, but Joint Health Complex has helped so much! (I take a bunch of other supplements as well, but I was already taking them and know that the difference in my arthritis came from the Joint Health Complex.)
I also have osteoarthritis in my wrists and hips. Rainy days used to make me ache all over, but now I don't even think about arthritis on rainy days./p>
My mother really likes Joint Health Complex, too, and feels like it works better for her when she also takes 10 alfalfa/day with it./p>
Hope this helps! fyi - to encourage people to take Joint Health Complex long enough (4 - 6 weeks) to get results, I offer a very low introductory price on two bottles for first time customers. ISTM that I once read a message from Dr. Bruce Miller that said if someone doesn't get results with the 3/day dose of Joint Health Complex, they should take 6/day. (3/day works for me). Joyce
Foot, knee, achy bones quit hurting My sister, who is very skeptical, said only one Joint Health Complex a day has helped her foot to quit hurting. She was convinced enough that she encouraged a friend to try it for a knee problem. Personally, I feel it has been helpful to stop general achy bones that I was experiencing. Peg
Pain-free and without Advil My quick testimonial for Joint Health Complex is that my husband used to have to take two Advil a day for knee pain but within a week of starting Joint Health Complex he's been pain free!
39 year old walked in marathon after 8 years My husband has bad knees. He has been on joint health complex for 1 yr. For the first time in 8 yrs he walked in the MS walkathon with me. He attributes it to the joint health complex only. He changed nothing else in his life, no diet, no exercise. - only joint health complex. He is 39 yrs old. Carol Bryniarski
Vitamin C plus JOINTHEALTH COMPLEX builds cartilage I'd heard on a tape by chiropractor Dr Mark DeBrincat that you ought to take in lots of Vitamin C when you're taking glucosamine because it additionally helps the body produce a lot of collagen to aid in cartilage rebuilding.

Off knee brace - 1/99 My Mom had knee surgery a few years ago but still had knee trouble. She has been on Joint Health Complex for over a year now and doesn't have to wear the brace they gave her any more.... Linda K.
No pain in a month Hi my name is Peter and I'm a Shaklee Sales Leader. For three years I've been trying to get my father on Shaklee nutrition with no luck. Finally I saw blood pressure medication on his kitchen table and I completely lost it and yelled at him about taking care of himself and not trusting his own son. Not the best way to promote Shaklee I know! Well two months ago he started taking Vita-Lea,B-Complex,and EPA. His blood pressure went back to normal in just two weeks taking two a day! When he saw this he opened up to me and let me talk to him about his back and shoulder problems as they were in bad shape and giving him a lot of pain, (from all those years of sports up to 61 years ). He started taking one Joint Health Complex a day and two Cal-Mags and within a month he had no pain at all! He goes around to everyone telling them how great his son's Vitamin stuff is! Hope this helps you as it has my Father. P.S. He's still Very active playing on my League volleyball team and Marathon canoe racing at 61 years of age! Peter
Athletes in serious training need dietary protein to replace muscle protein that is torn down during exercise, as well as carbohydrate muscle fuel to replace the carbohydrate stores that are burned during exercise.
The role of protein in this process is of vital importance as, along with carbohydrates, it seems to work synergistically to increase insulin release from the pancreas. This helps raise insulin levels, which are low after exercise, to move blood glucose back into the muscles for glycogen production.
This is the major source of muscle fuel. Additionally, insulin is a strong activator of amino acid transport and protein synthesis, both of which are essential to repairing tissue damage after exercise. Hence, high-quality protein with a balance of amino acids provides the building blocks for muscle restoration.
Physique and Muscle Tone
The products which are designed for sports recovery, muscle firming, toning, and building...Physique and Fitness, have many other applications beyond sports. Since they were developed to increase muscle tone and strength they would also be good choices for the elderly who experience weakness in their muscles, young children, or just about anyone who has an issue with muscle tone. Of course, if the products are used as part of an after-exercise regimen for toning, building or just firming muscles, and to enhance speedy recovery, that's the best combination. Keep in mind, when shoveling snow, or doing any kind of exercise for the first time, these products DRAMATICALLY decrease any muscle soreness!
This is a wonderful testimonial of Shaklee Performance...
I've had a hectic schedule lately - and when I felt "crummy" today, with a persistent headache, I attributed it to my extra long days.
Yesterday, I had awakenedat 3 AM, had to be at work by 5:30. Worked until 10 AM, when home to do all the necessary things there, then returned to work at 2 until 11 last night. Needless to say, there is no 'down time' while working, which requires endless footsteps and concentration. To this I attributed today's blasting headache. I had my protein shake and felt a little better, but still had the headache. Two Excedrine didn't staunch it. But, I went about my day. By now (3 PM) my stomach was contributing to the 'yucks'. I'm NEVER sick, what could this be? So -- I thought what do I have that will help?
I pulled out the Performance, mixed a glass with cold water, and before I'd had even half - my headache was gone, my stomach was no longer flipping and I was feeling more revived then I had all day. I smiled to myself and thought ---"Sara -- this stuff really works!!!"--- but I knew she'd laugh at me knowing Shaklee always comes through!!!!
Everyday I'm more and more amazed by every product that I use. Thanks David and Sara -- for convincing this skeptic that Shaklee really is a quality company with great products" Jan

If you've been watching the Olympics, you may have noticed that Shaklee-powered athletes are picking up medals. If Shaklee were a country, it would have more Olympic medals than any other country. What's exciting is that each of us & our families can use those same sports nutrition products. Here's the latest:
Shaklee Sponsors Two Athletes who have Medaled in Athens: Gary Hall, Jr. and Elaine Youngs
Shaklee is proud of the great success of our Olympic athletes! Gary Hall, Jr. and Elaine Youngs are powered by Shaklee.
Gary won the Gold in the 50 meter men's freestyle race on Friday, Aug. 20. He is the fastest swimmer in the world and a 3 time Olympic champion with 10 medals, including 5 gold medals. Gary spoke to us by phone live from Athens Greece during our General session in Orlando and thanked Shaklee for our overall support as well as our nutritional support. It was a thrill for Shaklee to celebrate his success with him! Gary is a testament to America and the power of determination in the face of such challenges as Diabetes.
Elaine Youngs and her partner Holly McPeak earned the bronze medal this week in woman's beach volleyball during the 2004 Summer Games against Australia. Elaine told Shaklee, "I have been playing in the professional volleyball circuit for 8 years and am playing my best ever. I am fortunate to have Shaklee Nutritional support."
Frequently Asked Question Whey vs. Soy Protein From Dr. Bruce Miller's Health Series...
What do you think about protein supplements made from whey?
I personally prefer soy protein as a supplement. Soy protein has been proven to be of the same protein quality as meat, milk and eggs. It is well accepted as protein source for over half of the world's people. Whey is a byproduct of cheese production. There are different grades of whey and some are not as complete a protein as soy. However, just for arguments sake, let's assume that some particular whey is as good as meat, milk and eggs. If you consume whey instead of soy protein you miss the following:
Cholesterol reduction. Breast cancer prevention. Prostate cancer prevention. Heart disease protection. PMS symptom reduction. Menopausal symptom reduction. Menstrual symptom reduction. And the prevention of other cancers by the isoflavones contained in soy protein.
Whey protein offers none of these most useful benefits. Even if whey equaled soy in "protein power", for the reasons above, I would opt for soy every time.
