<p><bold><strong>How Immune System Works</strong></bold></p>
<p>The immune system is like the body’s own little army, warding off illnesses and diseases that threaten the health and vitality of the body. Without this defense, viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, and other harmful pathogens would attack our bodies, leaving us weak and unable to sustain our lives.</p>
<p>The immune system is very complex and sophisticated. It detects a wide variety of harmful pathogens and distinguishes them from our own healthy cells and tissues. When the immune system is healthy and running at full efficiency it is able to ward off many bacteria and illnesses; however, harmful pathogens can evolve rapidly, avoiding the immune system’s detection and infecting the body.</p>
<p>Our bodies are designed to fight off pathogens with many defense mechanisms that help the immune system. The first line of defense is the <strong>skin</strong>. Without our protective layer of skin, our bodies would not only fall apart, but they would be completely exposed to outside toxins that we encounter. The skin not only acts as a physical barrier, but also provides chemical barriers, such as antibacterial chemicals secreted by the skin. This instantly kills spores and bacteria that land on the skin.</p>
<p><strong>The nose, mouth, and eyes</strong> are all easy ports-of-entry for germs, but they also provide a defense system for the body. Tears and mucus, which coat both the nasal passage and the lungs, contain an enzyme known as lysozyme that breaks down the cell walls of many bacteria. <strong>Saliva</strong> also contains an antibacterial substance to help fight off bacteria entering through the mouth before it can get much farther into the body.</p>
<p><strong>Germs, toxins, bacteria, microbes, parasites</strong>, and other pathogens that are able to make it past the body’s initial defense mechanisms are faced with the body’s internal line of defense: the immune system.</p>
<p>The immune system is comprised of the thymus, the spleen, the lymph system, bone marrow, white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, and hormones. Each component works in its own unique way to fight illness and disease so that we can live our lives to the fullest and not worry about getting sick.</p>
<p>Although the immune system works tirelessly to keep us healthy, sometimes it needs a little extra help. This is especially true <strong>when seasons change</strong>, when we become stressed, or when other factors negatively influence our bodies.</p>

<p><strong>Immune Function Study</strong></p>
<p>To find out more about the immune system and its effects on the body, Shaklee researchers conducted a study at the Weil Medical College of Cornell University’s Department of Pediatrics, Microbiology and Immunology.</p>
<p>The study had <strong>two goals</strong>. The first was to develop and confirm a new way of exploring viral biology and immune function in the human lung through the use of a human airway epithelial (HAE) tissue system as an alternative to the current animal model standard. The second goal of the study was to assess the effect of a unique botanical blend  on the immune system response and pathways of inflammation using the HAE research model. Beneficial results of the modulation of lung immunity could have a potentially significant impact on childhood respiratory disease.</p>
<p>The study, recently published in the Journal of Virology, confirmed that the HAE model is a superior research  model for studying parainfluenza viruses compared with the standard animal model. The analysis conducted on HAE tissue treated with and without the unique botanical blend confirmed that the blend was safe, and that it affected multiple gene signaling and communication pathways related to immune function and possible  pathways of inflammation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<em>I’ve been on the Cinch Program for 21 days and have given away 15 pounds and 7 inches! The Cinch program focuses on “Fat” loss &#8230; but losing FAT is not only important from a personal perspective but equally or more important from the medical perspective. Cinch attacks the visceral (organ) fat that is a dangerous risk factor for disease. As I write this I am sitting in jeans that I could not zip a month ago! I weigh less than I have in about 10 years. Cinch removes fat while it maintains and builds muscle, which helps to maintain metabolism. Metabolism is crucial to life long weight management. Even if you have tried everything else, especially if you have tried everything else, give Cinch a try. Cinch could do for you what it has done for me and hundreds of other folks.</em>&#8221;<br />

<p><strong>Exposure to Phthalates</strong></p>
<p>is easily released into the environment. As plastics age and break down, the release of phthalates accelerates. Because phthalate plasticizers are not chemically bound to PVC, they can easily leach and evaporate into food or the atmosphere. Diet is believed to be the main source of di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP) and other phthalates in the general population. Fatty foods such as milk, butter, and meats are a major source.</p>
<p><strong>Health Effects from Phthalates Usage are</strong></p>
<p>·         <strong>Asthma</strong> and <strong>allergies</strong>, especially in babies and children. &#8220;Young infants are more vulnerable to the potential adverse effects of phthalates given their increased dosage per unit body surface area, <strong>metabolic </strong>capabilities, and developing endocrine and reproductive systems.&#8221; (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate#cite_ref-5">^</a> Sathyanarayana S, Karr CJ, Lozano P, <em>et al.</em> (February 2008). <a href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/121/2/e260">&#8220;Baby care products: possible sources of infant phthalate exposure&#8221;</a>. <em>Pediatrics</em> 121 (2): e260–8. <a title="Digital object identifier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier">doi</a>:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1542%2Fpeds.2006-3766">10.1542/peds.2006-3766</a>. <a title="PubMed Identifier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubMed_Identifier">PMID</a> <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18245401">18245401</a>. <a href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/121/2/e260">http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/121/2/e260</a>.)</p>

<p><strong>What’s Safe?</strong></p>
<p>Phthalates are banned in CA. According to American Chemistry Council, phthalates are not unsafe in a small amount. (Source: <a href="http://phthalates.americanchemistry.com/Phthalates-Basics/Questions-Answers?gclid=CMje6p6Toa0CFeJdTAodIwg0qw">http://phthalates.americanchemistry.com/Phthalates-Basics/Questions-Answers?gclid=CMje6p6Toa0CFeJdTAodIwg0qw</a>). According to my common sense, why risk at all. Find safe alternatives. Before buying, read labels and avoid products that include phthalates.</p>

<p>Roger Barnett has several goals for Shaklee:  1.  Shaklee will  become the largest force for positive social change in the world today.   2.  Shaklee will move from $500 million dollars in 7 countries to a global giant doing more than  $15 billion in sales.</p>

<p>Shakle  is probably the best kept secret in the industry because no one sees it coming. The stability, the history, the science, the patents, the phd’s are in place. They have not missed, or been late, on 1 bonus check to their distributors for 54 years.</p>
<p>The opportunity to do something significant with this is now.</p>
<p>The Perfect Storm: Their track record, the vision cast by their new ownership and the fact that in October 2010 they instituted a revolutionary compensation plan that will enable them to expand and reach their goal of $15B in worldwide sales. It is called a Unit-based Unilevel Hybrid. Shaklee created a patented business plan that rewards you&#8212;both when you help others achieve&#8212; as well as when you attain a greater rank.Many companies punish distributors for helping others attain a similar rank as you. He instructed them to avoid those common pitfalls.</p>
<p>In addition to having the lowest car qualification program at 5k points and a very lucrative compensation plan including fast start, power start, infinity and generational pay, they have instituted something remarkable.</p>
<p>It is called their Fast Track program. In addition to the compensation plan it is designed to help you make $100k within 15 months. In essence, as you achieve as little as 20k points and maintain qualification you will be awarded an additional $34k in extra bonuses. As well, you can achieve 5 trips including an all expenses paid trip, for up to 4 people. In 2011 these trips included Atlantis &amp; BoraBora, in 2012 they are Riviera Maya and A Deluxe Kenya Safari.  The fast track program offers you an incentive to help others accomplish these same results.</p>
<p>When you personally help others do the same you will earn a matching bonus of $17k.</p>
<p>How many people will you help?</p>
