Ten Year Old on Two Drugs Dies After Hanging Himself

juli.k.becker@gmail.com (Juli Becker) — Sun, 3 Jul 2011 19:53:00 -0500

Health Impact Daily News published an article this morning about a ten year old boy who hung himself with a belt from his bunk bed.

You can read the full article here.

In the article Dr Mercola, the author, states that "new research suggests that people who take antidepressant drugs are actually more likely to suffer relapses of depression. In fact, used over the long term, antidepressants may "do more harm than good."

So why do we still take these drugs? And why do psychiatrists still prescribe them?

Read the full article here.

Thankfully, at least one doctor, Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, who treats children in the UK, is using natural alternatives in treating depression.

Her protocol?

A nutrient rich diet that is easily digestible. Probiotics. Vitamins D and A. And juicing.

Let this be another wake up call for those of us who are using Shaklee products to share the message that our products can heal where drugs cannot.

High-Fiber Diet Significantly Lowers Risk of Future Heart Disease

juli.k.becker@gmail.com (Juli Becker) — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 00:54:00 -0500

(NaturalNews) Nutrition researchers from Northwestern Medicine in Chicago report that a diet naturally high in fiber provides critical protection from heart disease in a study of adults aged 20 to 59 years. Results presented to the American Heart Association`s Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism/Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention Scientific Sessions draws the direct correlation between fiber consumption and heart disease risk. This is the first study to establish the connection between dietary fiber and lifetime cardiovascular disease risk in adults up to age 59. High-fiber diets have long been associated with weight loss, reduced cholesterol levels and improved hypertension. Experts now recommend a minimum of 25 grams of fiber each day to dramatically lower heart disease risk.

The study consisted of an analysis of questionnaires compiled as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey by lead author Dr. Hongyan Ning. A nationally diverse group of 11,000 adults were questioned for factors including diet, blood pressure, total cholesterol, smoking status and history of diabetes and then used to formulate a lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease. Body weight, cholesterol and hypertension are considered to be primary determinants of long-term risk for heart disease, and combined they can be used to provide an accurate risk assessment.

Dr. Ning found the results to be quite amazing, and noted that"younger (20 to 39 years) and middle-aged (40 to 59 years) adults with the highest fiber intake, compared to those with the lowest fiber intake, showed a statistically significant lower lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease."In this study, 25 grams or more fiber each day was found to provide the most protection against heart disease. Processed foods, even if promoted as high-fiber, were determined to be high in sodium and calories and did not provide the same degree of protection when compared to fiber obtained from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Interestingly, the study found that fiber consumption did not affect the long-term risk of heart disease among the senior group aged 60 to 79 years. Researchers believe that the beneficial effects of a high-fiber diet may require a long time to achieve, and older adults may have already developed advanced disease risk factors requiring more intense natural interventions (vitamin D and omega-3 fat optimization) to correct.

Dr. Ning said"As for young and middle-aged adults, now is the time to start making fiber a big part of your daily diet."She concluded"the study suggests that starting a high-fiber diet now may help improve your long-term risk."Some research has indicated that optimal disease risk reduction is attained with a daily fiber intake between 40 and 50 grams. It`s important to ensure that the fiber in your diet comes mostly from raw vegetables, nuts and seeds (including flaxseeds, almonds and walnuts) with minimal amounts from fruit and whole grains to maximize your protection against cardiovascular disease.

Letter From Dr. Jamie McManus on Shaklee Quality

juli.k.becker@gmail.com (Juli Becker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:58:00 -0500

Dear Friend,

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Shaklee.

I believe Shaklee products—and the quality and science behind them—are unmatched in the industry—and I would like to share why I believe this.

I chose a career in medicine because I believe in health. I firmly believe that people can take control of their future health by virtue of their choices today, and my 16 years as a practicing family physician led me to believe even more strongly that prevention is where the future of medicine must go. Research confirms that nutrition, weight control, and wise supplementation can powerfully impact your vitality today and your health in the future.

My passion lies in informing and inspiring people about the diet and lifestyle choices they can make that will help them feel better today and in the future. Ten years ago I decided to devote full-time energy to this pursuit, and since then I’ve spoken to hundreds of thousands of people in 45 countries. I’ve met people who are excited about prevention and excited about achieving and maintaining optimum health. I find it amazingly rewarding!

I joined Shaklee in 2005 because I saw a company that really cared about doing the right thing—no matter what the cost. Shaklee is truly committed to providing products based upon solid science, relevant to people’s health, contain the highest quality ingredients and manufacturing standards— plus, Shaklee chooses to NOT use artificial flavors or sweeteners! Shaklee not only was a perfect fit for my personal philosophy, but had the quality standards that I could stand by unequivocally. And while many other companies don’t publish any studies, Shaklee has over 100 scientific publications, including over 90 that are published in peer-reviewed journals—the “gold standard” of scientific research.

My Health Sciences team is charged with clinical research, claims substantiation, and education. And we continue to pursue research collaborations with some of the top universities and research organizations in the country.

What really makes this company stand apart from the rest? It begins with the products:

1. Each product is designed to provide a specific, important health benefit—usually more than one benefit.

2. Each product is formulated with nutritional ingredients that have been extensively studied to confirm safety and efficacy. Our products do not follow trends, but incorporate scientific and/or epidemiologic evidence of need and benefit.

3. All ingredients must be acceptable from the standpoint of the Shaklee philosophy, as well as detailed scrutiny as to their safety. We do not simply accept the Certificate of Analysis that many other companies accept, but rather retest for contaminants—including lead and heavy metals, pesticides, and more—to confirm the Certificate of Analysis is accurate. Shaklee has an unwavering commitment to avoid the use of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and added preservatives. We use only non-genetically modified soy protein.

4. Shaklee employs advanced delivery systems to enhance bioavailability—and these systems are tested to confirm their nutrient delivery advantages!

5. Manufacturers are also carefully chosen. Not just any company can qualify to manufacture Shaklee products. Shaklee has, for many years, followed the standards for manufacturing that are now referred to as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)

6. Shaklee Quality Assurance routinely visits manufacturers to confirm that our quality standards are being upheld—and our onsite lab in Hayward does additional quality control testing.

7. Ongoing proof of our product performance is demonstrated by:

   • Over 100 scientific publications, 90-plus in peer-reviewed journals
   • Shaklee products powering medal-winning athletes for 30-plus years
   • Shaklee products fueling world explorers, including a special rehydration product (called Astro-Ade) that has been made for NASA Shuttle astronauts since 1993
   • 50 years of providing nontoxic household cleaning choices—that truly perform!
   • A growing group of health care professionals who recommend Shaklee products to their patients
   • Amazing health stories regarding health benefits from our products sent to me every day!

I am thrilled to be partners with our Shaklee Independent Distributors and Members who help spread the information about health and wellness. I firmly believe that we can redefine wellness in the coming years. Along with exercise and eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to be optimally healthy means including appropriate dietary supplements and weight management products so that you can have the confidence of knowing that you’re doing all that you can do to stay healthy today and tomorrow! So many people are waiting to hear from us—and together, I am certain that we CAN make a big difference in the health of the world.

Be well,

Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D., FAAFP
Chairman, Medical Affairs, Health Sciences & Education

Do Raw Foodists Still Need to Supplement?

juli.k.becker@gmail.com (Juli Becker) — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 15:09:00 -0500

A growing number of websites are promoting the new Raw Eating diet, myself included.

If you aren't familiar with the 'raw revolution', here are a couple informative websites to get you started: http://freefoodandmedicine.com/, RawReform.com, and Shine on Raw.

Here is a website with super delicious recipes and cookbooks: http://www.rawmazing.com/.

As nutrient and enzyme rich as raw eating is, I'd like to caution those who are raw vegan purists.

According to Hunter-Gatherer, "Two vegans who fed their 11-month-old daughter only mother's milk went on trial in northern France on Tuesday charged with neglect after their baby died suffering from vitamin deficiency."

As heartbreaking a story as this is, and as amazing that alternative lifestyle/eating is, there is a lesson to be learned. And it is this.

It is more important than ever to supplement out diets with Shaklee's Essential Nutrients.

Order yours today.
