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.

1.  Danielle’s Mom

“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!”–Danielle

2.  Patty’s Mom

“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!”

Chuck’s Parkinson’s Story
Dec. 2008

My Shaklee Vivix story  - the one that is most near and dear to my
heart is my husband’s story.

A bit of background:

I am 58, Chuck is 78.  We’ve been married 24 years.  He is the love
of my life.  What I didn’t know way back before we met, was that I
was in love with him even before I knew he existed.  Do you know
what I mean?  That’s the kind of relationship we have.

About 5 years ago Chuck was diagnosed with Parkinson’s  Disease - a
progressive neurological disorder, no cure.  When you hear
Parkinson’s you may think of Michael J. Fox, or the former Pope,
who lived with Parkinson’s for many, many years.  Chuck has a very
relaxed attitude about his PD, he figures something would
eventually get him, and it could be worse.

For those of you not familiar with PD, some of the symptoms are:

Ø      tremors in the hand and legs

Ø      slow walk, eventually becoming a shuffle

Ø      hunched posture

Ø      balance and coordination issues

Ø      impaired large and small muscle dexterity

Ø      speech problems

Ø      drooling

Ø      facial ‘mask’ - people with PD begin to lose their
expression, have a quiet dullness about them, or as I refer to it,
their lights go out

Okay, so that’s what we have been dealing with for the last 5
years.  Chuck has been taking Shaklee supplements for 7 years and
is on prescription meds for the PD.  I’ve done a lot of research,
talked with others, and have him on a pretty solid Shaklee program
- which we are constantly tweaking as we learn more.

At convention this year, when Vivix, our new anti-aging tonic, was
announced, Dr. Jamie McManus, Director of Health Sciences at
Shaklee, said people with diabetes, heart disease and neurological
diseases would have the most results.  Well, you can imagine the
cheer that went up in OUR section!  My dear friends all did a zizzt
stare at me.  Talk about a heart flutter!

I brought Vivix home from convention and Chuck began taking it mid
August and has been faithful with it every day!  He promised me he
would do that for 6 months before making any decision on whether to
continue it or not.  Keep in mind, my darling husband is my very
best skeptic!

Now if you would ask him how he feels today, he’d say he doesn’t
feel any different.  I did invite him to come along tonight so you
could meet him, but he really isn’t fond of meetings like this -
plus he’s at a party with a bunch of his buddies!

My report to you is that little things are happening.  And it’s
often the little things in life that mean the most!  He’s back to:

1.      laughing,

2.      participating in conversations at family gatherings,

3.      whistling around the house,

4.      doing his cute little two step when he’s being funny,

5.      standing straighter when he hugs me,

6.      he’s just more engaged in life -

7.      and the best of all - his lights are back on!

Is Vivix making a difference in Chuck’s health and in our hope for
him?  You bet it is!  And is he going to keep taking it after his
promised 6 months?  He better!

Blood Work Improvements:

When Vivix was introduced - we knew from our Shaklee scientists and
Dr. David Sinclair that this product had the potential to change
lives and health for the better!!   Well - here’s our first actual
“proof” that just taking 1 tsp. per day of this amazing supplement
can drastically change health status in as little as 5 weeks.
Check out the blood work that Don received after only FIVE weeks of
taking the Vivix.  He hasn’t done anything different but add this
product in - he still takes the regular Shaklee supplements he’s
always taken but hasn’t been working out (pulled hamstring and sore
shoulder) - eating the best (drat - we are working on that) and
still, STILL - look at the changes:

Feb. 2008
Oct. 6 2008

Triglycerides                         301
186

Total Cholesterol                 199
178

HDL  (good)                        51
50

LDL  (bad)                        109
91

Remember - this is just five weeks of using Vivix and the other
side benefit is that we are sleeping better!!
