Greetings!
Happy New Year, with a toast to you and 2009 being your healthiest and happiest year! As your Shaklee distributor, we are doing all we can to provide you with the very best health and wellness products along with accurate, up-to-date information to help you live a healthier and better life.
In this issue, we talk about the miracle of healing that takes place in our bodies every day, and a Shaklee prescription for a healthier life. We will also show you the significant cost savings of good health - from losing weight, quitting smoking or working out, and how Shaklee can help the process along.
Also we announce our $100,000 Cinch Biggest Loser Challenge for 2009!
We close with the story of two Moms who recently started using Vivix - Shaklee's breakthrough cellular anti-aging supplement and the life changing experiences they had.

THE MIRACLE OF HEALING
Healing does not take place merely following an injury; it takes place over a lifetime. When healthy, your body is literally healing (born again) on a moment-to-moment basis. In a Healthy Body, the regenerative or healing capacity is unlimited. This is because every second of every day, millions of cells die and are replaced by brand new healthy cells.
AS A RESULT OF HEALING:
The liver is new every 6 weeks The heart is new every 3 months The red blood cells are replaced every 90-120 days The stomach lining is new every 5 minutes The skin is new every 30 days 98% of the atoms in our body, including bones, are replaced each year.  The raw material your body uses to create these new cells comes from the food you eat and specifically from the vitamins, minerals, protein and other key nutrients available from these foods. Optimally, cells throughout our body break down and die every day but are being replaced faster than they are dying.
However, in today's fast-paced world when families are rushed, they often make poor choices, reaching for fast food or take-out options that are high in calories and fats, and low in nutrition. We also find that today's highly processed boxed foods, which are the bulk of most diets, don't have the plentiful nutrients of live food. Add to today's poor diet, a lack of exercise, the stresses and strains of modern living, and the toxins in our environment, and the result is that new cells are created with weaker nutrients and these weakened nutrients are attacked by more free radicals. These free radicals cause cells to break down even faster, resulting in accelerated disease and aging with poor health. It's a recipe for dying as opposed to healing and optimal health.
HEALING faster than cellular breakdown = HEALTH
BREAKDOWN faster than healing = DYING
Shaklee vitamins and whole food supplements are made from the finest raw ingredients which are tested for purity and potency, then formulated in a way that preserves the nutrients. It's no surprise that the independently conducted, peer-reviewed Landmark Study, which compared people who took Shaklee vitamins for 20 years versus taking another multivitamin or no vitamins at all for 20 years, showed that Shaklee users are experiencing a significantly better quality of health and a lower incidence of diseases like heart attacks, stroke, and diabetes that can take a life earlier than expected. But, what about the future? Is it possible to live a significantly longer life AND a healthier, more vibrant life at the same time?
 That's what Shaklee scientists work on every day. And the scientific advances they've made unlocking the secrets of nature over the last few years have been nothing short of amazing. Research that has helped formulate the Shaklee products created for Shaklee's Prescription (RX) for a Healthier Life in 2009 (Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon and Cinch), products which didn't even exist five years ago!

SHAKLEE'S PRESCRIPTION (Rx) FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE IN 2009
 The prescription starts with Shaklee's Vitalizer - a daily dose of six supplements that contain 80 bio-nutrients the body requires to build healthy cells and the key antioxidants the body requires to protect the cells from free radical damage, all in a convenient daily tear off strip that's easy to take. But Vitalizer goes way beyond what vitamins could do in the past. Vitalizer's S.M.A.R.T. delivery system delivers the key bio-nutrients in the right amounts at the right time to the right place in your body, thereby maximizing both the short and long term health benefits. With 12 patents on this delivery system alone, you could say that Vitalizer is to vitamins what high-definition plasma color TV is to the outdated black and white television set. The result for you is more energy and vitality today, and a healthier tomorrow.

Next in Shaklee's Rx for a Healthier Life is Vivix - Shaklee's breakthrough cellular anti-aging supplement. Vivix directly addresses the four known key mechanisms of aging. The ingredients used in this super-potent, super-pure formula fights free radicals, and promotes good health and well-being. In fact, its amazing cell protecting abilities may slow the onset of virtually all aging diseases!Studies of the ingredients used in Vivix show it to not only promote cellular longevity and increase cellular energy; it also supports heart health and cardiovascular function, brain health, immune function, joint health and provides rich antioxidants that fight free radicals. It even seems to have a tremendously positive effect on one's skin! Many people taking Vivix claim to experience feeling more energetic, healthier, and enjoy improved concentration, a decrease of joint swelling and joint pain, and feeling more youthful and vital.We've never seen such dramatic health changes in people taking Vivix in such a short period of time. (See the Story of Two Moms later in this newsletter).
The next product in Shaklee's Rx for a Healthier Life is Nutriferon. With global travel, super bugs, and viruses just a day's plane ride away and so many people getting sick every flu season, Nutriferon shields and protects you by naturally activating the production of your body's own interferon, resulting in optimum daily immune protection. It's the most advanced immune booster on the market today. Click to read more about NutriFeron or to Order
Finally, our bodies need protein and lots of it to build healthy muscle and for the energy it takes to get through the day. Shaklee's delicious Cinch shakes provide 24 grams of high-quality protein (available in soy or whey protein) for a natural healthy way to fuel your body.
With a Cinch shake (and a Vitalizer daily strip) you have a 21st Century Power Breakfast, that's easy to prepare, tastes great and will help you start the day on the right track. Now available in four yummy flavors. Click for more information on Cinch Shakes or to order
The four products that make up Shaklee's RX for a Healthier Life provide everything your body needs to promote healing and good health, and to help slow down the aging process. The result is a longer, healthier, better quality of life.

Another BIG Benefit of Health: Wealth
Most people save for retirement by focusing on their wealth. But you may accomplish more by focusing on your health. That's because the out-of-pocket costs for diseases that may be avoidable through diet, exercise and supplementing with Shaklee nutritional products can be staggering. Getting and staying fit now may be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars later - a sum that just might exceed the carefully crafted stockpile in your 401(k).
Your savings goal, if you are healthy, should be 10 times your final salary, but significantly more if you suffer a chronic health problem such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, says Bruce Pyenson, an actuary at health consultants Milliman Inc.
How much savings is enough for chronic sufferers? That depends on the severity of the ailment and the level of coverage. But consider that Medicare spends four times as much on unhealthy people as it does on healthy ones, and that out-of-pocket costs from deductibles and co-pays are much higher, too. If you have an uncovered, extended nursing-home stay, the cost of health care in retirement may surpass $300,000. Three ways to Increase Your "Health Wealth"
1. Lose weight. Obesity is linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and more. Obese people spend a third more than fit people on health services and three-quarters more on medications, according to Rand Health. The average annual out-of-pocket cost for diabetics is $454, according to an analysis of government data conducted by Nationwide Better Health, a health-management company. But those costs skyrocket to $12,000 or more for the 1 in 2 diabetics who do not carefully tend to their illness. Bottom line: shed some pounds, avoid these diseases and invest the related windfall from, say, age 40 to 65 - and you could pad your nest egg by up to $700,000.
To get started on Cinch you'll want to order the Cinch Starter Kit, now available in Chocolate, Vanilla or both! 2. Stop smoking. Not buying cigarettes alone can add up to more than $100,000 if you stop at age 40 and invest the difference conservatively until age 65. If you avoid emphysema and cancer, your savings multiply. The potential savings from medical treatments could add tens of thousands of dollars more to your nest egg.
 Studies show people suffering from addictions like smoking have a 50% better chance of quitting if they are on a good nutrition program at the same time. Below is a good nutrition program to help the average smoker quit. Shaklee Vitalizer: (one strip per day--provides important antioxidant protection including Vitamin C and B-Complex to help relieve stress) Nicotine raises dopamine levels chemically. The following three fatty acids help raise dopamine levels naturally, replacing the cigarettes.One serving of Shaklee OmegaGuard per meal One serving of Shaklee GLA Complex per meal One serving of Shaklee Lecithin per meal Nicotine also raises alkaloid in the brain, and Shaklee's CorEnergy helps diminish the craving for nicotine by raising alkaloid in the brain. One serving of CorEnergy per meal Many people smoke cigarettes to relieve stress. Shaklee's Stress Relief Complex will quickly help relieve feelings of stress and anxiety for those trying to quit. Two servings of Stress Relief Complex per meal (more if experiencing anxiety; plus 2 at bedtime, if there are sleep issues). 3. Get moving. Exercise and diet are keys to avoiding high blood pressure and heart disease, which together have annual costs to the individual of $606. Investing that sum for 25 years may provide more than $35,000. Shaklee's Sports nutrition products will help you get the most out of your workouts through proper rehydration and faster recovery. Click for for more information on our sports nutrition products Of course, such health savings are not guaranteed. Even healthy people get sick, and living healthfully usually means living longer, which layers on costs for other health concerns you may encounter as you age. Still, the most important steps to retirement security may have more to do with what you give up (fatty foods, cigarettes and more than two alcoholic drinks a day) than with what you sock away. This is one situation in which less means much more. Finally, a great way to improve your financial health and/or fund your new healthy lifestyle is to share the gift of Shaklee with others. Become a Shaklee distributor and share Shaklee with family and friends, and you can earn greater discounts on your Shaklee products - or earn enough to get your products free. For full Shaklee benefits, become a Shaklee Gold Ambassador and use the training available at Shaklee University to start your own part-time home business.

Vivix and The Story of Two Moms
 Vivix - Shaklee's breakthrough cellular anti-aging supplement - made from a powerful blend of resveratrol and supergrape polyphenols, continues to astonish us with the quick health improvements that people are experiencing in such a short time. Designed to address and slow down the four key mechanisms of cellular aging, Vivix opens up the possibility of living years longer and feeling years younger with increased vitality. You'll see from the stories of two Moms below it sure is working fast! Danielle's Mom Story"My mom is 72, very overweight, has mild diabetes, is a heavy smoker, and is caregiver to my dad, who is disabled from many strokes. So she suffers from some depression related to the significant life change for her after my dad's stroke. She has always been a napper, but the last few years, she takes 2, sometimes 3 naps a day. Then is often up half the night. She moves really slow and accomplishes only minimal tasks!
She has been taking Vivix for maybe 2 months now. I talk to her almost daily and quite often she is in her pajamas a good part of the day, procrastinates to even go to the grocery store until there is nothing for them to eat! However in the past few weeks, I've seen a transformation. She goes out almost every day, IN THE MORNINGS quite often, and I put "mornings" in caps because this is significant. Getting moving that fast for her in the past has been unheard of. She is having lunches with friends, running errands, and doing more than I've seen her doing in years. And she feels good. And miraculously, she said she is losing her desire to nap. This is amazing and something I never thought possible!
I've been wanting to say, "Mom, I think the Vivix is working for you", but I've waited. Finally this morning she said that she thinks the Vivix is taking hold and told me the changes she has been feeling (what I've been seeing and have written above). Incredible stuff! Just thought I would share!" -DaniellePatty's Mom Story"Vivix is truly an amazing product doing wonderful things for many people. One of those people is my Mom. I can honestly say that the path that led me to Shaklee has been well worth it if for no other reason than having been able to help my mom, who I love so dearly. It doesn't get better than that! Here are a few words straight from Mom":
"For many years the base of my thumb(s) has been swollen from arthritis. Each year it has worsened. When Vivix came out I was skeptical, but I had so much pain in my thumb that I was willing to try anything. After on Vivix only three days I was absolutely amazed. I live with my daughter and I couldn't wait to show her my thumbs. We stared together, in absolute awe, as the swelling was gone - and the pain was substantially less!
I also had hip pain. That didn't go away quite as quickly. The pain was so terrible that walking more than 20 steps at a time was prohibitive. Yet within two weeks of being on Vivix it began to improve. And now, after about six weeks, I have very little hip pain at all. I can do something I haven't been able to do for a long time - take my dog for a walk all the way around the block. This would be enough to keep me on my Vivix, but I have noticed another wonderful thing has happened.
I have Reynaud's Syndrome. This is a condition in which the smallest arteries that bring blood to the fingers or toes constrict (go into spasm). One of the triggers, and the one that affects me, is the cold. Even entering a cold grocery store can cause my fingers to go white, or even turn blue. It is very uncomfortable and often I have to wear gloves where other people wouldn't. Wintertime is always a concern for me. Not so this year! Not only have I needed gloves incredibly less often than usual, BUT I have had no episodes of my fingers turning white. I can only attribute it to Vivix, and it is wonderful. Clarice -Patty's 82 year old Mom Thank you Danielle and Patty for sharing your Mom's stories. How many Moms (and Dads and Uncles and Aunts, etc.) can be helped by sharing Vivix today? How many lives can we change? Please pass on this newsletter to people you care about and/or encourage them to contact us to order or learn more about Vivix.
