Artist's Eyesight Improves
"My sister, who is a wildlife artist, told me yesterday that she didn't need her reading glasses as much when she is painting up close in detail!"

Higher Metabolism with Vivix
"My VIVIX testimonial is that it seems to have increased my metabolism! I seem to be able to eat more like a regular person and still stay thin (in fact I've lost about 3 pounds), instead of eating like a bird and working out all the time! One of the David Sinclair videos shows him saying that the ingredients seemed to offset obesity in laboratory rats even on a high calorie diet! I'm definitely not on a high calorie diet, but like I said, I seem to be able to actually eat regular amounts now. Love it!" --Barbara H.

High PSA Scores and Prostate Health: "After going to my doctor for a normal yearly exam where he did some blood tests on 8-15-08, I found out that my PSA scores were high at 4.9. At that time, I was taking Shaklee's Vitalizer and Soy Protein. So my doctor wanted additional blood tests to be taken as I had experienced high PSA levels back in 2005 when I was 51 years old. So on 9-11-08, the PSA levels jumped to 8.2, and on 9-18-08, they jumped again to 9.1. So after consulting with my sister, who is a Shaklee distributor, I added the following Shaklee supplements to my above-mentioned daily routine on 9-12-08: Vivix, NutriFeron, Saw Palmetto, and Immunity Formula I to boost up my immune system. I was scheduled for a follow-up visit with my doctor on 9-29-08, and he wanted to do 12 biopsies. However, I wanted one last blood test before that appointment, which was taken on 9-26-08. Those blood tests showed a drop in my PSA levels to 6.9, which the nurse said was highly unusual. So now I am continuing to take Vivix and the above-mentioned Shaklee supplements, exercise, and lose some weight by eating lots of vegetables, fish, soy protein, and low-fat meals, and I have a follow-up appointment the end of October.

Follow-up after my 10-28-08-doctor appointment: Today my PSA scores had dropped down from a high of 9.1 on September 18th to a low of 3.4 in just 6 weeks! Plus, my free PSA scores of 28.8% are the highest I have ever received since I started having prostate problems in 2005. As I started Vivix on 9-12-08, my doctor was amazed at these rapid changes in my PSA scores. He said that "something was going on," and I educated him on what changes I had made and the benefits of Shaklee's supplements and Vivix! Now he doesn't want to see me for another 6 months! Plus, he said that the chances of this being cancer is under 5% whereas a month ago he said that it was around 20%.

In addition to the changes in my PSA scores, I am noticing an improvement in my vision. Plus, I do a lot of climbing on ladders for my work, and the pain in my knees have lessened as well. So, once again, Shaklee has risen to the occasion and made a huge difference in my health!

Now I understand why my Doctor recommends Shaklee's products over all the other brands of supplements. Her findings are that people who use Shaklee products get the fastest changes (RESULTS) in their blood chemistry levels. I can definitely concur with her findings in my case. To me and my doctor, six weeks is a short amount of time to get these types of amazing results! So thank you Shaklee for creating Vivix and all your other great health-improving products! I am a true believer in Shaklee." -- John G. 10-28-08

Hamstring Tendonitis and Rotor Cuff
"I have had problems with my hamstring for about two years and a torn rotator for more years than I can remember. The rotator injury was like someone putting a screwdriver in the back of my shoulder and relentlessly prying. If you want to understand what it feels like, try this. Have someone pinch your skin very hard and instruct them to not let go regardless of your reaction. The pain will increase very quickly and intensify the more you think about it, and you will start to feel like you're going to panic. The difference is that you can pull the hand away causing the pain.

I had secondary pain in my chest causing anxiety like symptoms and palpitations, which I saw two doctors about. The tests were negative for cardiovascular problems. I would always feel tightness in my chest, I was easily irritable when my shoulder would inflame. I knew the pain in my chest, and the pain in my mind, was to do with my shoulder. It was the thorn in my side that kept me company and preoccupied me while trying to go about my life.

Let me tell you about the hamstring tendonitis. It is inflammation of the hamstring tendon as it attaches to the butt bone, or pain and tenderness at the ischial tuberosity. Examples of symptoms are: pain when stretching the hamstring; pain when flexing the knee against resistance; and, a gradual onset of pain following a sprinting session. You may have experienced a groin pull, and if you have, the feeling is similar. These things have been problematic and extremely annoying. In spite of doing physical therapy and countless chiropractic visits, the problems persisted and really only worsened. Even with having a background in exercise physiology and the training and discipline to provide self-therapy, I only aggravated them. At times, I felt frustrated and hopeless. I despaired about living with this for the rest of my life.

I started Vivix about two weeks ago, and what is happening to me is remarkable! After about three days of taking Vivix, I noticed the tension in my chest to ease, and at the time the muscles in my shoulder and leg started tingling. I then started noticing stiffness in those muscles, like I worked those muscles out the day before and I thought to myself, that's strange, I didn't work those muscles. Then I realized that I have not felt this kind of soreness in years in those muscles, and this is the good news. The reason I have not had this feeling in years is because my muscles could not heal. You see, when muscle tissue is in chronic inflammation, it's not healing. If you stress inflamed muscle it just stays inflamed and painful. Normally, for example, after you work out your muscles they go through a process of inflammation and then you get the soreness. That soreness has a name, which is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). DOMS can actually feel good to avid exercisers. This soreness is a very normal response of healthy muscle tissue, which occurs one to two days following exercise. My DOMS just took years! And now, every day I feel this nice tingling, and the pain lessening. I am just starting to notice improvements in strength and range of motion as well. It's like I can feel the resveratrol actually working. I suspect that Shaklee put nano robots in with the resveratrol or something. Vivix is truly powerful nutrition". -- Ben Anderson, Clinical Arrhythmia Diagnostic, Specialist, Exercise physiologist
