News: Baylor wins!
Matt’s tennis team and the women’s team both are having a great week. The women beat TCU in the last match on in the third set. The men beat Cal and Stanford on the road.
With 17 national titles in tennis over a 39 year period, Stanford has such a great tradition. No team in any sport has a winning record against Stanford, except one. Not only does the Baylor tennis team have a winning record, they are undefeated against Stanford at 5-0. This year Baylor wasn’t suppose to win, but they did, 6 to 1.
Against the odds, against tradition, the Baylor team won. The Baylor program is structured to give the players the tools to win over the odds. When I ran my first 5K, I didn’t know if I could finish. When I started swimming, it was mostly a dog paddle. Now I’ve done four ironman triathlons and am facing a tough 50k in 1 ? weeks in the Cameron Park hills. Just like Matt’s team, I face difficult odds. One of the things I try to rely on is that I have given myself the tools to accomplish things that seem outside of what’s possible. These tools include a training program, Shaklee Foundations and Shaklee Sports Nutrition. I can’t imagine running day after day without recovering with Physique. Sports nutritionists all agree that it’s important to use a recover drink as soon after working out as possible.

The Green Home
The following was sent to us by Greta Knoll, from Waco Texas.
Matt and I have taken on building a home and it is in the final stages of design. It is going to be beautiful. We have an amazing team with Stanley G. Love as the architect, Brian Nicholson as the builder, Matt in research (the person who finds the most outrageous and cutting edge building ideas) and myself who gives them a constant supply of magazine photos. Some of the things we’re looking at are geothermal energy and green design. If you have any advice or experience with green design, let us know.
Our current home already has some “green” products with Shaklee:
Air Source air purifier
Best Water water purifier
Basic D and Satin Sheen for dishes
Basic L, Nature Bright, Softer than Soft for clothes
All the cleaners - Basic G, H, I and At Ease.
Their products are highly effective and safe for the environment and your family. The average home contains an estimated 1,500 hazardous compounds. How safe is your home? Check out this link for more: [ http://www.shaklee.net/knoll/prodHouDifference ]http://www.shaklee.net/knoll/prodHouDifference.

Immune Building testimonials
There are a lot of testimonials on NutriFeron providing a broad spectrum of protection against colds, flu, viral and bacterial infections. But now testimonials are also coming in from people with health conditions like hepatitis, allergies, asthma, cancer, shingles, autoimmune diseases and more. Below are just a few of the incredible stories!
Hepatitis C .... liver enzymes dropped from 800 to 34! “In 1972 my husband had a terrible car accident and required blood transfusions three different times. As you know, in the 70's the blood supply was not screened for Hepatitis C. As a result, my husband contracted Hepatitis C. His liver enzymes were up to 800. Normal is between 9-40. The doctors wanted to put him in the hospital. He told them he wanted to try to bring them down himself. He stopped drinking totally and taking over the counter pain medications (since both are very hard on the liver). I began giving him Shaklee's DTX Liver Protection product, which contains Milk Thistle and several other herbs. His liver enzymes went down to 200. After that we could not get his liver enzymes any lower. At this time we were facing my husband going for a liver biopsy to determine the extent of the damage and they wanted to get him on interferon treatments, which I have been told make you feel extremely ill (as if you have the flu all the time.) Then I learned about Shaklee's NutriFeron, and how it boosts the body's natural interferon, so I began giving him 2 per day along with 2 Shaklee Liver DTX per day. At his last appointment the doctor told him that he does not need to go back to the gastroenterologist anymore because his liver enzymes are 34 - perfectly normal. Makes me want to cry, and my husband is absolutely ecstatic. THANK YOU SHAKLEE!” Sandy
I used to have SOOOO many Colds! “Previous to knowing about Shaklee, I had been on a lot of antibiotics, had my tonsils removed and stopped drinking milk. The later two did help, but I was still getting 3 to 5 colds a season and couldn’t remember the last time I wasn’t sick at Christmas time. Winter/Spring was exceptionally bad for me. I spent most of January to June with a cold. After starting NutriFeron, I can’t believe how my health has improved. I was not ill the entire year. I have 2 young children so when they would catch a cold, I might feel a scratchy throat, but it never developed into anything. And then ?.. I had my first cold in the fall of 2004. We were moving to a new community, and with the stress of moving I was out of routine and forgot to take my NutriFeron. The amazing thing is that once I felt the cold start, I went back on NutriFeron and the cold lasted only 3 to 4 days!!! I LOVE NutriFeron!” Vicki C.
NutriFeron and Son with Asthma! “My son started taking NutriFeron around the middle of the winter in 2004. He usually had terrible allergies in the spring, which would trigger his asthma. This had happened for the last 7 or so years. I had him on many Shaklee products, but didn’t think to put him on the NutriFeron until I had read an email about it really helping kids with asthma. Well, spring came and he did not have to use any of his preventive medicine for the allergy season. When I went to the doctor for a physical for another child, my doctor asked me how Christopher was doing with his asthma. I said he was doing great. The doctor replied, ‘That preventive medicine really helps during this season.’ I said, ‘He’s not on any of the preventive medicine you have given him, but I do have him on an immune system builder through Shaklee.’ He looked surprised. We continue to see great results with his asthma ever since he has been on the NutriFeron. What a GREAT product!” Tammy J.
Small Child with Asthma ? Great Results: Patty P. reports the following: “A grandmother told me about her grandson who was sick all the time. He has cold induced asthma where they would put him on steroids and meds. The first year on the NutriFeron he did not get sick once. Since the,n only twice and the last time was this summer, when his Mom wanted to see if he really needed to be taking the NutriFeron year round. She stopped giving him the NutriFeron and he got a cold that turned into a bad case of asthma. They had to use the steroids and a steam system to help him breathe. He is too young to use an inhaler. They have found the NutriFeron keeps him healthy and off the medications. What a blessing to this family and a sure sign that children will benefit from using this product.”
AIDS Virus No Longer Detectable in Blood - Incredible! “I am a mentor to a young man of 20 years with AIDS. I suggested that in addition to his regular treatment, he try some Shaklee products, mainly, Shaklee Basics, Soy Protein and NutriFeron. When he started the program, his T-Cell count was very low and the viral load very high. I cannot remember the specific numbers, but his T-Cell count was around 200 and the viral load was in the high thousands. Well, he went back to his Doctor for his regular blood work less than 30 days later after starting his Shaklee program, and to his doctor’s surprise and his own surprise ? his T-Cell count jumped way up to around 498+ and the virus was no longer detected in his blood. He was so excited when he called me on my cell phone and said his doctor was stunned and counted on his fingers the number of days since he last saw him. His doctor also turned pale and said he NEVER saw anything like this before. One of the nurses smiled at him and told him ? ‘keep doing whatever it is you are doing because it’s working’. I thought this testimony might help folks realize the POWER of this GREAT Shaklee product – NUTRIFERON.” Richard C.
NutriFeron & Shingles: “This past week I had to go to the doctor with a rash on my back. I did not think much of it, but it started itching and hurting. It was the start of shingles. Right away the doctor told me that he would prescribe some steroids for it. I informed him that in no way was I going to take them. He said there was no other way to get rid of shingles and that I would be back in to see him in a couple of days if I did not take them. I went home and started reading my nutrition books on shingles. My friend gave me a bottle of Shaklee NutriFeron, so I doubled the dose, and also doubled the daily maintenance recommendation for several Shaklee supplements including: B Complex, Vitamin E, Advanced Beta Carotene (i.e. Carotomax), Vita Lea, and Soy Protein. By Saturday the rash was gone and the itching and hurting was also gone.” Betty
Lymph Node Problems Disappeared: “I’ve been on NutriFeron for some time now. About two months ago, I had a breast MRI and the doctor found a lymph node he wanted to further check into, so he ordered an ultrasound. I told my Shaklee distributor and she recommended that I double my NutriFeron to 4 per day, which I did for about 10 days. I went in for the ultra-sound and the technician kept going over and over the area. She said there was a lymph node indicted by the doctor on the MRI, but she couldn’t find any abnormalities. She continued to look for about a total of 30 minutes ? but no challenged lymph nodes were apparent. She confirmed her finding, or lack thereof, with the radiologist, who also saw nothing. They advised me to be sure to have a follow-up MRI in six months, but agreed there was nothing there at this time. Thanks to God, my Shaklee Distributor, and NutriFeron in that order! I’d be lost without them.” Pam B.
Another Pneumonia Testimony: “My husband, Don was admitted to the hospital 3 times with pneumonia in 1951. After that he took penicillin at least five times a year for respiratory problems until 1971. A Shaklee distributor started him on Shaklee supplements. After that Don was able to keep his respiratory problems under control without drugs, and when he felt his throat getting scratchy he used lots of Shaklee Vitamin C plus other supplements including Shaklee Defend & Resist (a premium echinacea formula). Since we added NutriFeron to his vitamin program, he has not had a hint of a problem ? first time in over 50 years.” Gloria W.

Health News: Oily Fish Make Babies “Brainier”
Eating oily fish and seeds in pregnancy can boost children's future brain power and social skills, research suggests.
A study of 9,000 mothers and children in Avon, England suggested those who consumed less of the essential fatty acid Omega-3 had children with lower IQs. These children also had poorer motor skills and hand-to-eye co-ordination, research in the Economist said.
'Frightening data'
Looking at the effects of Omega-3 intake on 9,000 mothers and their children, the team found mothers with the lowest intake of the essential fatty acid had children with a verbal IQ six points lower than the average.
While those with the highest consumption of mackerel and sardines and other sources of Omega-3 had children, at age three-and-a-half, with the best measures of fine-motor performance, researchers said.
Low intake of the crucial fatty acid also appeared to lead to more problems of social interactions - such as an inability to make friends. Research leader, Dr Joseph Hibbeln, said "frightening data" showed 14% of 17-year-olds whose mother had eaten small quantities of Omega -3 during pregnancy demonstrated this sort of behavior. This compared with 8% of those born to the group with the highest intake, he said.
Dr Hibbeln said, "The findings of poor social development and poor motor control in children indicate that these children may be on a developmental trajectory towards lifelong disruptive and poorly-socialized behavior as they grow up."
Professor Jean Golding of Bristol University set up the original research, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, 15 years ago to look at predisposition to disease. She told the BBC: "The baby's brain needs Omega-3 fatty acids. It doesn't create its own fatty acids so it needs to be something that the mother will eat."
The new research also builds on earlier work in the US, which suggests pregnant mothers will develop children with better language and communication skills if they regularly consume oily fish.
Nutritional expert Patrick Holford, director of the Brain Bio Centre, said Omega-3 was key to children's intelligence because the brain is formed of 60% fat - 30% of which are essential fats. Successive studies have shown clear links between intelligence and consumption of this essential fatty acid, he added.
It's absolutely essential that pregnant women take in enough Omega-3 and children in early infancy take in enough Omega-3 - Patrick Holford, Nutritional expert
Ed. Note: We’ve known for quite awhile about Omega-3’s positive effect on hearth health, but more and more now we’re learning about how beneficial it is for moods and depression, autoimmune diseases and now brain development. Shaklee’s new OmegaGuard is the world’s finest fish oil supplement. It’s triple molecular distillation and purification process is unique to Shaklee. This results in an ultra-pure pharmaceutical-grade supplement. Plus, OmegaGuard provides a full spectrum of seven natural omega-3 fatty acids.
