Hello,

I was just reading the thread concerning Shaklee's Nutriferon product and just wanted to add my 2 cents worth if that's ok? I AM a Shaklee Distributor by the way, in Canada, so, call me biased if you will, but, I originally joined only as a member as I was formally trained as an RN back in the early 70s and so was very skeptical, to say the least.

I'd been sickly for most of my life (I'm 51 now) and mainstream medicine had never been able to help me and in fact, had only served to make me sicker with each passing year, hence my foray into the alternative health field. I joined Shaklee as a member back in 1997 and the rest is history.

Their products SO changed my health for the better that it wasn't long before I became a believer and folks began wanting to know what I was doing that was making me radiate with better health and so I began to sell the products too. No one HAS to sell and I've never, EVER been pressured to sell or even to sell more once I began selling, else I'd of been out of there a long time ago as I absolutely HATE pressure sales!!!!!

I've been faithfully taking the afore-mentioned Nutriferon product ever since it first came out under its former name (Immune Building Complex) and have not had a single cold, flu nor sinus infection ever since. That's remarkable for someone like me who ALWAYS used to get sick if someone even sneezed one block over!

Another thing that sold me on Shaklee was their integrity. A few years back, the company discovered a batch of their raw organic ginseng had become contaminated from wind blown pesticides from non-organic farms in the vicinity. They made the corporate decision, WITHOUT being told to do so by anyone else, to recall ALL their ginseng product already out there "just in case", as well as to cease further production until the problem could be righted.

I don't recall how many years it was off the market and they lost BILLIONS to do this but it was important for them to MAINTAIN THEIR INTEGRITY. Do you know of any other company who would voluntarily LOSE that much money just so as to do the right thing?

By the way, I can't tell you the number of folks who've told me that if it'd been them, they'd have continued to make and sell the product because the public would never have known...how sad, but very true. Shaklee did not do this because despite the public never knowing, WE WOULD and doing what's right as opposed to simply making as much money as possible, is what is REALLY important to them!

There are other integrity examples I know of regarding this soon-to-be 50 year old corporation but I think my point is made. Pyramid schemes are only about ripping people off and Shaklee is definitely NOT a pyramid scheme, else they wouldn't have given a fig if a contaminated product went out to an unsuspecting public.
