Barefoot Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic

Hearing test and VIVIX testimonial
This just in from Shirley a Shaklee Distributor..
Today I went in for my yearly hearing aid check up at the audiologist. He said that it has been a number of years since I had a hearing test and this is especially important considering my age. After the tests were completed he compared the results today with the previous tests. He said he didn't understand why the results of today's testing were so out of line with my previous tests. Then he showed me the comparison. He said my tests today showed my hearing to be ABOVE the "normal" line whereas my previous tests showed all my scores to be way BELOW the "normal" range. He said this can't be because no one has ever had this much improvement in their hearing in all the years he has been in this business. He said that something isn't right, no one has this dramatic improvement in hearing and especially considering your age.
Then I told him that I felt sure I had the explanation for the improvement - it's Vivix. Then I briefly told him what this product is and the testimonials Shaklee has received of vastly improved health because of this product. That it is so unique Shaklee has applied for patents. I asked him if he'd like for me to drop off information and science about this product. He said "yes".
I've gotta comment on this testimonial. It makes perfect sense to me too knowing that Vivix actually goes into the DNA of the cell and protects and repairs it. There is a reason it's called an anti-aging tonic... Who knows what it could do you for your body. Resveratrol May Have Anti-Inflammatory Effect
According to research published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of red grapes, appears also to suppress inflammation in humans, a finding that may have implications for both inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
Here are some important diseases that have been linked to inflammation:
Age-related macular degeneration, a condition in which the cells in the retina degenerate, has been linked to inflammation. Research has pointed to abnormalities in the complement cascade that create a pro-inflammatory environment. If you have new distortion or central black spot, you should seek immediate medical attention as this may represent the "wet type" of macular degeneration, for which treatments are available.
Diabetes, a condition in which the body's own insulin is not effective or is present in lower amounts, has been linked to inflammation of the tiny insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Diabetes is associated with a higher link of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and blindness.
Ischemic heart disease, which can cause heart attack, has been linked to inflammation of the inner lining of the coronary arteries. Inflammation associated with plaque can cause sudden cardiac death.
To perform their study, researchers from Kaleida Health's Diabetes-Endocrinology Center of Western New York, gave 10 subjects nutritional supplements containing 40 milligrams of resveratrol. Another then took an identical pill containing no active ingredient. Participants took the pill once a day for six weeks. Fasting blood samples were collected at the start of the trial as well as weeks one, three and six.
The results showed that resveratrol suppressed the generation of free radicals. These are unstable molecules which can cause oxidative stress and release proinflammatory factors into the blood stream. Ultimately these molecules are known to damage to the blood vessels and also promote angiogenesis or the formation of new blood vessels.
Todays research shows that resveratrol can have an effect on inflammation in the body. More research is needed to better understand if this compound can lower the prevalence and incidence of diseases linked to inflammation and aging.

Can a supplement with resveratrol and polyphenols boost cellular energy and metabolism? Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Shaklee Corporation have partnered to address these questions by studying the impact of a unique blend of resveratrol and muscadine polyphenols found in Shaklee VIVIX Cellular Anti-Aging* dietary supplement, on human muscle cell mitochondria, the intra-cellular power plants that generate cellular energy.
With this research, Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education at Shaklee, and Dr. Michael Zemel of the University of Tennessee are seeking to determine the impact of this unique polyphenol blend on key biological processes related to cellular energy production and aging.
"One of the key mechanisms of aging is a decline in mitochondrial mass as well as the effectiveness of the mitochondria," said Dr. McManus. "In our research, we're trying to validate the impact of VIVIX polyphenols on mitochondrial biogenesis -- shorthand for how the number and size of mitochondria help create cellular energy and boost metabolism. We're excited to share our research goals with the medical community and create a baseline for future studies on polyphenols and cellular energy metabolism."
VIVIX was developed by Shaklee scientists by combining resveratrol with an extract from the only grape in nature that contains an extra chromosome. This muscadine super grape has polyphenols that complement the many benefits of resveratrol. Shaklee scientists created a unique profile of polyphenols shown in laboratory studies to positively impact multiple mechanisms of cellular aging.*

Who know's what it will protect and repair for you.
TYPE II DIABETIC AND VIVIX
A couple of months ago I got a very good friend of mine who has Type II diabetes to go on the Vivix. I had sent her some information on resveratrol and the amazing effects it is having on people's health. I told her I knew of a top of the line product loaded with resveratrol and other important ingredients that far outweigh
anything out there. She has already discussed with me the increase in energy she feels and how the spots on the back of her hands have disappeared.
Here's a shining testimonial she shared with me tonight - I'm so incredibly excited for her! "I was super sick for about four days; dousing myself in peppermint oil did no good. While deciding whether to draw up a will or break down and go to the doctor, I chose the doctor because it was cheaper and faster. Good news! My general health has improved so much and I've lost such a substantial amount of weight that I was overmedicating, which was what was making me so sick. He took me off two dosages completely and cut one in half. Could Vivix be the culprit here? Ya think?" Claire Peters
HUGE RESULTS WITH MS USING VIVIX
I have MS. And for me since I started using Shaklee products, I quit taking the MS drug, (too many side effects) and I was doing better in the physical sense using Shaklee. When Vivix came out, I added it to my regimen of supplements. I’m walking better, and I’m (hold your breath ... maybe you should sit down!) STARTING TO “RUN”! I am, to say the least, more than pleased with that fact. Kevin
An organic compound found in red wine — resveratrol — has the ability to neutralize the toxic effects of proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to research led by Rensselaer Professor Peter M. Tessier. The findings, published in the May 28 edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, are a step toward understanding the large-scale death of brain cells seen in certain neurodegenerative diseases.
Read the whole article directly from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute News Release Page
Could resveratrol be your heart's best friend?
Two recent studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition report that red wine appears to have a direct effect on the health of the cells lining blood vessels, while resveratrol may also influence the function of fat cells, and reduce the risk of developing conditions related to obesity.
I can drink to that (or just grab my teaspoon of Vivix). Stay Healthy Everyone!
Get the scoop... Resveratrol’s heart health benefits pinpointed?
I've got this question about Shaklee's Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic more than once, so here is your answer straight from Shaklee's Field Communication Staff.
The primary polyphenol source in the Kosher Polyphenol blend is pomegranate, rather than muscadine grape as contained in Vivix. Both product formulations contain 100 mg of 98% pure resveratrol, as well as a significant level of additional non-resveratrol polyphenols from the Rejuvetrol or Kosher Polyphenol blends. In laboratory studies, the ingredients in both Vivix and Kosher Vivix have been shown to impact key mechanisms of cellular aging.
Due to processing issues, we have not been able to create a kosher Vivix formulation that contains the muscadine grape, a nonkosher ingredient. In accordance with kosher law, a rabbi would need to be present during all of the various stages of production, including the pressing of the grapes at harvest. This timescale, along with the complexity of the specific production processes needed, precludes offering a kosher product that includes the muscadine grape.
I've also gotten asked about the sugar content in Vivix (Shaklee's Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic)
Here again is your answer from Shaklee Field Communications:
Vivix contains 2.5 grams of carbohydrate sugars from sorbitol in the Vivix one teaspoon serving
size.
For comparison, an ordinary glass of milk provides about 12 grams of carbohydrate sugars, a glass of orange juice about 22 grams, and an ordinary banana contains about 26 grams of carbohydrate sugars-more than 10 times the amount in a serving of Vivix. While diabetics need to
consult with their doctor about diet, sorbitol is slowly metabolized and would not be expected to significantly affect blood sugar levels. It can be used as an alternative to sugar by diabetics on the advice of their health care provider.
Buy Shaklee Vivix Online Save The "Resveratrol" drug is not Resveratrol
Some of you have been asking about the May 4th 2010 announcement by GlaxoSmithKline that they were suspending a clinical trial of their resveratrol drug because of safety concerns. Some of the articles went so far to say that people should be cautious about taking resveratrol supplements until these safety issues had been resolved.
Let me make this perfectly clear! The "resveratrol" drug referred to in these articles is not resveratrol itself! Please read the following information regarding resveratrol from Stephen Chaney, PhD.
Let's Start at the Beginning
The story started when scientists at Harvard screened over 500,000 chemicals to find which would be most effective at turning on anti-aging genes. They were looking for a drug that they could patent and sell to a drug company for big bucks - not a naturally occurring botanical nutrient. But what they found was that resveratrol, a nutrient that is found naturally in red wine, was the most
effective compound out of those 500,000 that they screened at turning on the anti-aging genes.
That was great news for those of you who are using resveratrol supplements, but it was bad news for them because they couldn't patent it and, therefore, couldn't sell it to a drug company. But all was not lost. There is a time-tested process for dealing with this dilemma. You just make a chemically modified derivative of the natural compound and, if it works, you patent the chemical derivative and sell it to a drug company.
Sometimes it's Best NOT to Fool with Mother Nature
So that's what the scientists at Harvard did. They made a chemical derivative of resveratrol called SRT501, showed that it also turned on the anti-aging genes, patented it and sold it to Sirtris Pharmaceuticals for $500 million. Sirtris, in turn, sold it to GlaxoSmithKline for $720 million. This is a frequently used process. Many successful drugs have been obtained this way, but the process is also fraught with perils.
The problem is that the chemically modified derivative is often not metabolized in the same way as the original and frequently can be toxic in unexpected ways. In fact, the failure rate for this process is quite high. Most of the chemical derivatives fail during clinical trials for one reason or another. It is only on a very rare occasion that these chemically modified derivatives make it through clinical trials and become a successful drug. Thus, it is perhaps not surprising that SRT501
displayed unexpected toxicity that caused GlaxoSmithKline to halt clinical trials of the drug.
But, SRT501 is not resveratrol and the toxicities of this drug have nothing to do with resveratrol.
Resveratrol is a completely natural nutrient found in grapes, red wine and other foods. SRT501 is a man-made chemical derivative of resveratrol.
Again...for the natural, safe and effective anti-aging resveratrol supplement you can rely on Shaklee the leader in natural products.
William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer? | Video on TED.com
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
+ Anti-inflammatory
+ Protects DNA, stimulates repair of genes
+ Protects against cancer
+ Kills cancer cells Prevents metastasis
+ Aids Chemotherapy results, while protecting healthy cells
I've got a secret to share with ya... Now you can benefit from the latest anti-aging research. It's my latest Barefoot Secret.
I just had to share this with you... When I read note's like this I get goosebumps. To be able to offer folks products that change lives is one of the most rewarding benefits of my lifestyle choices these days.
Dear Cindy,Anti-Aging Pretty Woman Makes your Heart Dance
I wanted to give you my story for anyone suffering from Alopecia or other
forms of hair loss. Since the end of 2007 I began to lose my hair. It
started with small patches at first then, they just slowly grew to almost
palm size bald spots.
At first it started at the side of my head them within
a year the hair loss was on the top of my head too. I can't tell you how
devastating it is for a women.
I was going through a series of trials in my life, divorce after 15 years,
loss of two family members, job changes etc... As for any woman there is
no way to hide so much baldness without a wig or hats, so that's exactly
what I had resorted to. I can't tell you the hundreds and hundreds of
dollars I spent on wigs and all kinds of shampoos to help my hair grow back, but
nothing worked. It seemed to be getting worse!
Well one day I realized how much Shaklee's Vivix and Nutriferon had helped
my father live 11 months instead of 1 or 2 months like the Dr. had told
us. So I decided that I would increase my Vivix to 3 X's a day, my
Nurtriferon and B complex to 6 per day! Of course this is in addition to the RX
prescription and lots of prayers. Within a month I began to see a tremendous
change. My hair growth was unbelievable.
In Dec. of 09 I was visiting family and I walked in to their home without a wig.
First time in over 2 years. Their expression's were priceless!
The first words out of my Mother and sisters mouth was "Is that your real
hair or a different wig?" Since them my hair is almost back to normal, long
full healthy head of hair.
My up line is the only one who saw how devastated I was and
how it affected me. She is the only one I would allow to see and even
photograph my head.
She encouraged me to share my story. At the Shaklee
Excite meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico, April 10, 2010, was only the 2nd time I
had shared this with all the Shaklee family and friends. Since I have received so many emails and calls I felt it necessary to
share with everyone.
For anyone who is going through anything like this with any kind of hair
loss, THERE IS HOPE! Every single dollar I spent on my supplements was
worth more than words can express!
With love and respect,
Annette

Marysville's Margaret Kime still plugging along after 99 years.
By Kristi O'Harran
Herald Columnist
MARYSVILLE -- If Shaklee nutrition company wants to document its success, they should visit Margaret Kime.
She’s been taking their products for almost 50 years. Kime swears by Vivix, an anti-aging tonic.
She is 99 years old.
Her husband, Ed, 91, lives down her hallway at Madeline Villa in Marysville. Kime said she has outlived two sons and has no one else to care for her.
It was great to see her again. I wrote about her in 2003.
“Not aging, just marinating” was the headline.
She’s marinated quite well.
Kime still wears her thin hair short, saying it’s easier to take care of. Her health is good, though her eyes are going bad. She wants for nothing and loves Madeline Villa.
“The housework is done,” Kime said. “This is living.”
Her room is sparse, with only a few bits of memorabilia. She won countless blue ribbons at the Evergreen State Fair for machine knitting — after she was 80 years old.
The bulk of the ribbons were donated to Special Olympics.
“Somebody is going to enjoy those ribbons,” she said.
Her hometown is Sultan, where her father worked for the railroad. She said she is the last of the 17 graduates from Sultan High School’s class of 1928.
Ten years ago, the Kimes moved to senior housing in Everett.
She wasn’t going to tip back in a recliner, she said, although she did give up teaching and custom knitting. She made more than 1,200 sweaters by machine through the years.
Kime got busy meeting apartment dwellers from New York, Florida and Tennessee. The job she fashioned for herself was that of a social director.
She said if you wanted to make a friend, just walk the hallways.
At the nursing home, Mark Hinricksen got to know Kime when his mother, Jane Hinricksen, was Kime’s roommate.
“Margaret was a great influence on her,” Mark Hinricksen said.
His mother recovered from a fall and has since left the nursing home.
Mark Hinricksen said he enjoyed Kime’s long memory, including stories from World War I. When Kime was a youngster and her father worked the railroad telegraph, he was the first person in town to know the war had ended.
Hinricksen said Kime made him laugh for hours with her stories.
“She’s sharp as a tack,” he said.
Kime’s humor is delightful.
“At age 25, you have a lot of boyfriends and wonder who will I take?” she said. “At age 58, you wonder what can I get?”
Seven years ago, Kime talked about the benefits of staying active. Not so active these days, she isn’t interested in going on group outings or shopping.
“Shopping isn’t my thing,” she said. “I haven‘t been to the Everett Mall in 30 years.”
She would travel for one thing — to see an exhibit of glass by Dale Chihuly.
All in all, life is good for this 99-year-old. She savors memories, such as the years she ran a booth at the old three-day Monroe Fair.
She cooked and sold rabbit.
Yes, folks stood in line for rabbit, she said.
Kime said she is content with how much world she saw in her day. She even met her guru, company founder Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, twice.
Kristi O’Harran: 425-339-3451, oharranheraldnet.com.
When I saw this article pop up on my radar I knew I had to share it. Just look at Margaret's skin. At 99 years old her skin is beautiful. Looks like Shaklee Products has been a perfect match for Kime.
Buy Shaklee Products Online Always Safe, Always Works
In the last 100 years, human life expectancy has increased dramatically – by about 30 years – and it has been the largest gain in more than five thousand years for humans, in our history. In addition, folks who make it to one hundred years of age; are growing. Their numbers advanced by 51% between the years 1990 and 2000. What is responsible for these impressive gains?
There has been significant progress in health matters, education and disease prevention and therapies are on the rise so the increased life spans begin to make sense. What is lesser known by so many and might seem unimportant are how your daily lifestyle tendencies or choices effect how long you will live and how healthy you will be during that time.
What follows are findings from the latest investigations into the science of longevity and the indicators that suggest you are living a life that will lead to longevity. There are also some guidelines to put you on the path to an extended life.After Menopause You Have A [Comparatively] Flat Stomach
Women who have a round shaped core area are twenty percent more liable to die earlier – regardless of their BMI or body mass index reading normal. When middle age happens the effort required to maintain a thin waist increases due to irregular hormones that lead to excess weight lodging in the mid section. If your waist size is thirty five inches or more for a women or forty inches plus for a man, follow these tips:
• Add two or three twenty minute strength building routines to your training program each week. This will maintain lean muscularity and fire up the metabolism.
• Have a portion of omega 3 each day be it in salmon, walnuts or flaxseed, this will assist in warding off inflammation and have seven daily portions of fruits and veggies, heavily laden with illness battling antioxidants.
• You should be consuming twenty five percent of daily caloric intake from monounsaturated fatty acids – these will protect your heart and can aid in less fat storage in your belly or core regions. [in a sixteen hundred calorie diet, that equals 44 gms.].
As A Teenager Your Weight Was Healthy
The Journal of Pediatrics released a study that investigated one hundred thirty seven African Americans from their birth to the age of twenty eight years of age and discovered being overweight at the age of fourteen advanced the chances of developing type 2 diabetes when they were adults. Those adults who contract diabetes are two to four times more liable to contract heart disease than those without the illness according to the American Heart Association.
You Eat Raspberries In Your Oatmeal Cereal
The majority of Americans consume fourteen to seventeen gm of fiber each day; if they only added ten more gm, they would decrease the risk of mortality from heart disease by seventeen percent. Ingesting fiber into your diet will decrease the LDL or bad cholesterol, generate better insulin sensitivity and augment weight reduction.
A simple tip: Add one cup of raspberries to your oatmeal [half a cup of dry oatmeal has 4 gm of fiber, raspberries another 8 gm] and you will be consuming twelve grams of dietary fiber in just a single meal. You could also eat a half a cup [8.8 gm of fiber] of one hundred percent bran cereal, which is great source of fiber, or half a cup of cooked lentils [7.8 gm] cooked black beans [7.5 gm] a midsized sweet potato [4.8 gm] or a small pear at [4.3 gm].
Get Everything From Every Calorie(no empty calorie foods)
Science investigators in St Louis stated that women and men who restrict their caloric consumption from between fourteen hundred to two thousand calories – about a quarter less of the average daily North American diet – had much healthier hearts, functioning at levels fifteen years younger than average.
This is more about getting the most nutrition per calorie than it is about consuming less according to the author of the study. Participants ate only vegetables, whole grains and fat free milk, lean meat while laying off of white bread, soda beverages and candy. Ridding yourself of empty calories and ingesting food with higher nutritional value will improve your health.
You Love Drinking Tea
Tea, both green and black varieties, includes heavy doses of catechins, a compound that allows blood vessels to calm down and safeguards your heart. A study was conducted on over forty thousand five hundred Japanese women and men and showed that those participants who consumed five or more cups of green tea each day decreased their chances of contracting and passing away from heart disease or stroke. When similar studies were done with black tea, the results were comparable.
Actually you will benefit your heart muscle with only one or two cups of tea daily provided it is freshly brewed [supermarket beverage section style teas won’t cut it] since others do not have the equal benefits. When water is mixed with the tea leaves, the catechins begin to get less effective. Some evaluations show that milk might take away from the protective attributes of the tea concerning the cardiovascular system. It is better to have it black or with lemon and honey.
Avoid Drinking Cola [Including Diet]
Research showed that consuming one or more colas, diet or regular variety, each day will increase twofold your risk of metabolic syndrome that is comprised of hypertension, increased insulin levels and excess waist region fat, all contributing to a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes. If you can regulate blood pressure and maintain quality cholesterol levels, avoid contracting diabetes and stop smoking, you could add an additional six to nine and a half healthy years to your life span.
One potential cause for this risk may be the chemical addition that gives cola the caramel coloring; it increased the risk of metabolic syndrome when tested on lab animals. Researchers also think that people who ingest soda pop are consistently exposing their taste buds to natural or artificial sweeteners, making them have a desire for sweets, which enhances weight gain.
A more preferable choice would be to switch to tea if it is the caffeine you are after. If the carbonation is your objective, drink sparkling water with a dash of juice.
You Enjoy Eating Purple Foods
Blueberries, red wine, grapes [concord], acai berries, they all get their coloring from polyphenols, a substance known to decrease the chances of heart disease and might just safeguard against Alzheimer’s disease, based on substantial research. Polyphenols act by keeping blood vessels and arteries supple and healthy; doing for the heart arteries what is also great for the brain’s blood vessels. Introductory research shows adding dark grapes to your meal planning could assist with brain activities.
In addition, a recent study conducted on humans displayed a connection between eating a cup or more of blueberries and increased signal transmission between brain cells that will enhance memory.
You Keep Away From Too Much Red Meat
The occasional palm size portions of beef, pork or lamb once in a while will not do you any harm, only when you begin heaving heavy amounts of red meat into your mouth – more than eighteen ounces per week – and you risk colorectal cancer [third most common cancer] so says the American Institute for Cancer Research. The chances of colorectal cancer will likewise rise by forty two percent with each 3 ½ ounce portion of processed meat consumed each day [hot dogs, bacon, and deli meat].
Scientists are not exactly sure why the processed meats are so dangerous. One suspicion is that carcinogens can accumulate when grilling meats, smoking or curing meat or when using preservatives like nitrates causing harm. Eating the occasional ball park frank will not kill you – only if you attend a lot of ball games! When you do barbeque red meats, marinate them before hand, keep the meat pieces on the small side and turn them often, these precautions will assist in preventing carcinogens from accumulating. When baking or roasting meat, keep the temperature below four hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
You Run Forty Minutes Each Day
Researchers in California discovered that people in their middle age who actually did run for a total of five hours weekly, lived longer and did better physically and had better cognitive ability as they grew older. The scientists observed runners and those who did not run over a twenty one year time line and were surprised that runners not only contracted less heart disease but also had fewer incidences of cancer, neurological illness and infections.
Doing aerobic exercise will keep your immune system young and healthy. Not everyone likes to run, so just maintaining an active period of twenty minutes daily that gets your heart pumping and your breathing rapid will enhance your health.
You Prefer To Walk Instead Of Drive
People who walk for about thirty minutes each day are defined as fit. They are also more likely to live longer than someone who walks less, no matter how much body fat they have. A study of two thousand six hundred three women and men exhibited these results. At the same time, overweight women can increase heart health a simple ten minutes of activity on top of their normal daily regimens. Going for a walk at lunchtime, doing laps around the field when your kids play their soccer matches, go for swims – just find ways to move it every day just a bit more.
You Do Not Have Your Own Housekeeper
When you clean your own home for an hour or more at a time, the ordinary person will burn two hundred eighty five calories while lessening their chances of death by thirty percent based on a study of three hundred two adults in their seventies and eighties.

My question for you.. What is your Eakie Guy? (reason to live)
Buy Vivix... the Worlds Best Anti-Aging Tonic Online
As I watched Josh Turner's new video posted over at CMT this morning I thought of our little Jayce yesterday dancing with his maraca's. He's 2 1/2 and certainly doesn't worry about what anyone else would think of him kicking up his heels to the music.
This is the perfect example of the carefree attitude we all should have especially this time of year when stress is at the max.
As we go into the holiday week remember to kick up your heels a little and enjoy the holiday season. A good attitude will help boost your natural anti-aging.
Another Vivix testimony for you to consider. Let me ask you,what nagging issue do you have that Vivix might help subside? None of us know that answer until we take the leap and try the product. I will continue to post testimonies on this site for your from the field education of what is possible with Vivix Anti-Aging Tonic.
I was in a car accident five years ago when a school bus hit me and I suffered a severe whiplash. I thought I would be OK after recovering from the injury, but months later I started to develop grand mall seizures and they developed into 5 or 6 seizures a day and sometimes up to 10 or 12 a day. Needless to say this was very debillating and i was completely homebound, as my family was afraid to have me go out or to be alone as I never knew when they would occur.
I was told that sometimes seizures can occur months later after a severe whiplash injury, and the doctors tried every procedure and drug that was recommended for seizures, but nothing worked. After going thru about $50,000 on everything they knew of over the last five years, we didn't know where to turn.
Last spring, my son's girlfriend Amy told me about Shaklee supplements and Vivix,and how it was helping a lot of health problems, & she referred me to a Shaklee Distributor and after talking to her I decided to try them, as I felt I had nothing to lose.
I started on Vivix twice a day and a strip of Vitalizer a day along with the following supplements of 2 B-Complex, 2 Lecithin, 2 Osteomatrix Calcium, & 2 Zinc three times a day, and within a month they were almost gone. I would only get one when I was under a lot of stress, so I added the Stress Relief Complex and the Cinch Shake Mix, which I love.
I was still having mini seizures where I would stare for about a minute. but my husband and I felt we could live with those because I could at least leave the house.
When I went to my doctor's appointment, I told him what I had been doing and he was very happy for me and told me to keep taking the Shaklee supplements and he gradually has taken me off almost all my over seven medications.
I was feeling so good that I was up on a ladder painting and I fell and hurt my wrist and back so I started taking Vivix a third time a day to help my back and lo and behold, my mini seizures went completely away. It has now been over four months, and no seizures of either kind and my doctor told me if I continued to not have any seizures for a year, he would let me drive again. ~Nicole

Shaklee just released the results of a new independent Vivix study conducted with a team of scientists at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The goal of this rigorous study was to determine the effects of Vivix on Nrf2, described by Dr. Carsten Smidt as, “the mother of all anti-aging genetic regulators.” Nrf2 activates the body’s detoxification processes, mobilizes antioxidant defenses, triggers anti-stress activity, and strengthens immune balance.
Healthy adults were asked to consume a 910-calorie typical fast food breakfast loaded with saturated and trans fat, carbohydrates, and a little bit of protein. Then the scientific team measured the impact of the meal on Nrf2 activity. With the “food only” group, Nrf2 activity was totally flat to declining over five hours. But the same meal eaten with a serving of Vivix created a massive spike of Nrf2 activity within the first three hours, with a significantly elevated protective level maintained after five hours.
What does this mean? As we age, Nrf2 stops responding when we ingest a high-fat, fast food meal. As a result, such a meal can dramatically increase cellular aging.
The great news is... no matter what diet you eat, Vivix triggers Nrf2 anyway! The better your diet and lifestyle, the better Vivix will work to slow down the aging process!

Vivix Shaklee's Resveratrol Anti Aging Product has been tested, proven, documented, and research published for it's anti aging benefits. Research is currently being completed of other health benefits. When the results are documented and published peer review scientific journals I'll be sharing more testimonies to the public. In the mean time if you want to hear more detail of results happening you will have to give me a call (Call Cindy @ 888-272-6701) and I'll give you access to a password protected site.
Here are a couple testimonies I can share though...
This on just in from Kathy.
Ok, here is the scoop---yearly visit to my opthamologist. She was at our presentation a year ago and heard what we were saying about Vivix. She said she was skeptical but knew the benefits of resveratrol. After the exam she was amazed, could not believe it, my eyesight had improved by 50%!!!!! A year ago I was at a -2.00, this year I am -1.00! I told her it was the Vivix----the only thing different this year. She went on saying that I looked so healthy, my skin was smooth and tight and my hair had so much shine. In other words she could not say enough good! I will now continue to work with her to educate and promote Vivix!
This next one is a pretty BIG anti aging benefit. I don't know about you but when I heard this testimony and thought about what anti-aging really could mean for the health of another person as a preventive chills went up my spine.
Written by (me) Cindy McAsey..
Tom Prendergast CEO of Veretekk, is a business associate I've been working with for over 5 years. He has never been very open to Shaklee until his girl friend, Annette (another business assoc. of mine) started using Shaklee Products. Annette experienced the "Shaklee Difference" and became a faithful user of the products and wanted those close to her to have benefits only folks who use and love Shaklee experience.
Annette purchased Vivix for Tom's Birthday. She knew he was having some health challenges and knew if she was successful in getting him to take Vivix he might start experiencing the "Shaklee Difference" too.
I'm happy to say Annette had enough influence on Tom to faithfully take Vivix. Annette and I started hearing Tom talk about vivid dreams he was having not long after starting on Vivix. This didn't suprise me since I experienced the same thing when I started taking Vivix. What did suprise me was when Tom mentioned how he had been struggling with a white spot on his tongue.
Tom shared how he has smoked cigars for several years on and off. He said he had experienced this white spot on his tongue before but when he would quit smoking it would go away. Six months ago his dentist had told him the white spot was T-Cells. (pre-cancerous) Immediately Tom had quit smoking, but this time the white spot didn't go away. No one but Tom and his dentist knew about the white spot.
Tom had been taking other health supplements, but it wasn't until 3 weeks after taking Vivix the white spot began to disappear. It's now been 6 weeks and the white spot on his tongue has completely disappeared and the thickening of the area (he explained it like a scar on his tongue) is almost gone.
Vivix Shaklee's Resveratrol Anti Aging Product protects and repairs the DNA of the cell. Until more testing and documented research is published the general public won't have access to all testimonies of faithful Shaklee product users unless they call and get access to the password protected area.
Buy Shaklee Vivix Resveratrol Anti-Aging Product Online Vivix Anti Aging Tonic - Alocpeia Testimony with Pictures
As a cosmetologist this testimony really hits my hot buttons. It's so sad to see someone with alopecia. I don't know if you could call Vivix a cure for alopecia. It's been tested and documented for anti aging only. But this alopecia testimony with pictures it amazing.
Stephanie, 21 yrs old, has been struggling with Alopecia for quite awhile. The doctors wanted to put her on steroids etc and the mother and Stephanie decided they would try Shaklee?s nutritional products as their first option.
Here is Stephanie?s before and after photo?s that they have given us permission to share. Look at both pages from the bottom up:
Stephanie before Vivix and Vitalizer,
then first month on Vivix and Vitalizer,
then second month on Vivix and Vitalizer!
WOW! What a significant difference pictures are worth a thousand words!
Growing hair back is significant, I've also had a few folks tell me their hair is returning to it's natural color. In other wards their Grey hair is going away!
I've been so focused on writing about resveratrol, vivix and anti-aging. Today I want to focus in on a prescription for a healtheir life program. I don't know if I've ever heard my doctor say if this prescription doesn't work for you we will give you your money back. Has your Doc ever said that to you?
The Rx for a Healthier Life Program does come with a money back satisfaction guarantee, but I've got to be honest we have very few folks who want their money back after being on the program 30 days. So what does that tell you? It's really good stuff!
Here is the low down:

When this news came across my computer I knew I needed to share it with you. As you might know Shaklee manufactures Vivix an anti-aging resveratrol tonic. Looks like there may be more researched and documented benefits coming down the pike.
Resveratrol, a molecule found in red grapes, has been shown to improve diabetes when delivered orally to rodents. Until now, however, little has been known about how these beneficial changes are mediated in the body. A new study accepted for publication in Endocrinology, a journal of The Endocrine Society, shows that the brain plays a key role in mediating resveratrol's anti-diabetic actions, potentially paving the way for future orally-delivered diabetes medications that target the brain.
Resveratrol activates sirtuins, a class of proteins that are thought to underlie many of the beneficial effects of calorie restriction. Previous studies in mice have provided compelling evidence that when sirtuins are activated by resveratrol, diabetes is improved. Sirtuin activators are now being tested in humans as anti-diabetic compounds.
Sirtuins are expressed virtually everywhere throughout the body and until now, little has been known about what tissues mediate resveratrol's beneficial effects. Knowing where in the body the beneficial effects of activated sirtuins are mediated could help in the development of more effective targeted diabetes medications.
"We know that sirtuins are expressed in parts of the brain known to govern glucose metabolism, so we hypothesized that the brain could be mediating resveratrol's anti-diabetic actions," said Roberto Coppari, PhD, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and co-author of the study. "To test the hypothesis, we assessed the metabolic consequences of delivering resveratrol directly into the brain of diabetic mice. We found that resveratrol did activate sirtuins in the brain of these mice which resulted in improving their high levels of blood sugar and insulin."
"These findings may lead to new strategies in the fight against type 2 diabetes," said Coppari. "By knowing that the brain mediates resveratrol's anti-diabetic actions, industry can now focus on developing sirtuin activators that directly target the brain. When orally-delivered, these drugs will likely improve diabetes without affecting the other organs in which activation of sirtuins may not always be beneficial."
Other researchers working on the study include Giorgio Ramadori, Laurent Gautron, Teppei Fujikawa, Claudia Vianna and Joel Elmquist of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Tex.
The article, "Central administration of resveratrol improves diet-induced diabetes," will appear in the December 2009 issue of Endocrinology.

Recently someone asked me a question after I shared my Shaklee Vivix testimonial. "What is the significance of dreaming nightly"?
It appears that when the nervous system has enough of the right nutrients to heal, you get into that dream REM of sleep. The opposite is more important... Any night you don't dream, your nervous system DIDN'T have enough nutrients to heal.
It is also believed that you heal more efficiently in that level of sleep you dream in.
Also it is believed that dreaming is a sort of rebooting of the brain. Just at night you turn off your computer to start it up in the morning. A rebooted computer typically works more efficiently. Has less glitches in its processing information.
I have even heard that psychologically it is better for you to dream... That dreaming is the body's way of analyzing what you experienced and felt during the day.
Cindy McAsey's Shaklee Vivix Testimonial: I started taking Vivix when it was first introduced in August '2008. Like any experienced marketer knows you must use and love all the products to market them successfully. I had been taking the "Shaklee shelf" for over a decade. In about 2 weeks I started remembering the vivid details of my dreams. I've always been a dreamer, but before Vivix I wouldn't remember so vividly exactly what I dreamed about the next day.
Again more Vivix testimonials keep coming across my desk. Please be aware these testimonials come from folks who are using the product. They are in now way meant to be claims in anyway shape or form. These tesimonials are just their experiences they have noticed after taking the products. We don't know wether it will work for you or not. I can say though Shakee products do come with a 100% money back guarantee. It's up to you wether you feel compelled enough to try it.
RESVERATROL VIXIX TESTIMONIAL: No More Pain Meds
"Tom and I have been taking Vivix for 1 week and 2 days and after about 5 days Tom noticed that his ankles no longer hurt. He had broken them both as a youth playing sports. Tom is 65 and arthritis hit his ankles this year. He had to get up and take pain meds so he could sleep. After taking Vivix for just 5 days he no longer needs pain meds to sleep." - Nancy D.
RESVERATROL VIVIX TESTIMONIAL: Tremor is Gone
"My brother-in-law, who is 75 and recently had some physical problems, got a strong tremor on his right hand. He started Vivix, his only Shaklee product-and within a few days his tremor is gone and he is writing normally again! He is duly impressed and thankful." Linda D.
RESVERATROL VIVIX TESTIMONIAL: Leg Cramps
"I suffered severe neuropathy in both my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with PAD.
I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly. Hardly a night went by when I wasn't awakened by them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix, I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg cramp. So wonderful! And I can feel my toes again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep."
This just in another resveratrol Vivix testimony. This one is on increased muscle strength after several years in a wheel chair.
Several of you, my Shaklee Friends, have ask if I could share what is happening since I have added Vivix to my supplement program.
As background, I have been my own best customer using Shaklee supplements for the past 37 years. I feel that they have been largely responsible for the health I enjoy today. I had polio at age 8 years which left me with very little movement in my legs. Since the polio attack, I have used a wheelchair to transport me to and through many marvelous experiences.
Now, the only thing I have changed is the addition of Vivix each day since the convention last August.
I started using Vivix right after it was introduced, and have used it daily since...the recommended tsp (although now I "swig" it from the bottle so may vary just a bit) As have others, I soon noticed a smoothing out of brown spots on my skin, I was sleeping sounder, not having to get up to go to the bathroom during the night and noticed more sustained energy level on into the evening.
However, the unexpected effect that has astounded me is that, after taking Vivix for about 3 to 4 months, I begin to notice a tiny bit more movement (an awakening?) in the muscles in my legs that has continued to increase over these past number of months.
As I said, after the polio attack, I had full feeling but almost no movement in my legs. Was left with a little movement in my right leg and almost none in my left. For example, in a sitting position I could raise my right knee upward a bit and move it sideways ever so slightly. Had been able to "feel" a slight muscle tensing in the back my left leg but no movement. This has been a static condition for over 60 years.
I will briefly try to describe what has/is happening. Whereas, when I would tense the muscles in the back of my right leg before, I could feel them tense only behind my knee...this has increased until now I can tense and feel it down my calf and up into my hip. I can even feel the muscle tensing a little more in the back of my left leg.
In a sitting position, I could pull my right knee up about 2 inches, I can now pull it up to my chest! I also have a lot more sideways movement. I can see and feel a more movement in the left leg.
What does this mean for me? Well the main thing is, I don't have to use my arm to move my right leg for the most part. What is really neat is that I can move both legs more when in bed to help me turn over and so forth. Also I can move the right one when I get in and out of my chair without it just swinging (and banging into whatever) I won't try to go into more detail but, hopefully, this will give you a little idea of why I am so thrilled. Every little improvement just helps me be able to move around easier and for this I am grateful. Plus, I seem to continue to gain more movement. I really notice it when I am swimming.
My massage therapist is "blown away" and can verify each improvement. She evaluated me when I started with her 2 years ago and is seeing each gain.
So...Thank you Vivix!!

There you have it straight from the Shaklee Field... we are probably the best human testers Shaklee could have! I heard someone saying they put Vivix on a scratch and warned that it would sting a little, but was much better later that afternoon. Go figure. If it can be tried, tested, or used in an uncoventional way Shaklee Distributors will try it.
