Why George Is So Happy. . . And His Advice About How You Can Be Too



George always wanted to be a prize-fighter. In 1970, in a gym in Minneapolis, Minnesota, another fighter suggested he take some supplements. Not long after that, George, (who also has diabetes) started feeling differently.

Those supplements were actually Vita Lea from Shaklee. Soon, George noticed he had more energy. But as life ticked along and he eventually lost contact with his source of Shaklee products—until last year.

“About one year ago, I was looking for Shaklee again and I met you at the (Polk County) fair,” said George, who has been a regular customer and Shaklee advocate ever since. He even encouraged his sister Sherri to try the products as well. Now she’s a member too.

George, who is 57 years old and in incredible shape, has diabetes. He credits Shaklee with helping him to maintain blood sugar levels comparable to those without diabetes.

An exercise enthusiast, and always on the move with his job as a transfer driver for Northwest Airlines, his favorite Products are Energizing Soy Protein and Multi Munch Energy Bars.

He likes to downhill ski, golf and is a movie fanatic—sighting Cider House Rules, and Titanic as two of his favorite.
An animal lover, he has 4 cats and 4 birds—2 parakeets and 2 cockatiels.

His advice to Rise and Shine readers: “Take your vitamins. The Dr. ain’t gonna tell you to take them. But seriously . . . Take them!”

Nora says, “I love Shaklee vitamins crushed up in my yogurt!”

“Basic I is awesome! It has cleaned lipstick out of my bathroom rug and oil-based blackboard paint completely off a red sweatshirt—it’s like our family’s little ‘oopes’ never happened! I love it!”

Formula-I Helps Member Overcome Mysterious, Frustrating Childhood Illness

By: Vicki Fitzsimmons

Two years ago, my 5-year-old, Eve, was experiencing fevers for unknown reasons. She also had extreme fatigue and would want to sleep all of the time. I took her to doctors, pediatricians, specialists. She had a strong positive reaction for an Autoimmune Disease.

Diagnosing the specific disease would be a long process and the treatments of long-term steroids and anti-inflammatories were NOT something I would consider for my now 6-year-old daughter. I truly believe that it is the Grace of God and Formula-I that has turned Eve’s life around.

I give her other products, but I actually NOTICE a difference in her appearance and energy level if she misses 2 or 3 days of taking Formula-I. I have tried experimenting with not giving it to her JUST TO SEE if it is working. Sure enough, if she doesn’t take it, she always gets a cold, turns pale, gets those dark circles back under her eyes, becomes emotional and starts to have extreme fatigue.

Formula-I is keeping my daughter alive and healthy. I know it sounds extreme and dramatic. But not only do I see it, but so has my husband, my other children, and EVE can tell by how she feels. Initially I would rub the brown capsule in butter to slide it down her throat. NOW she takes it any way she can get it because she, “KNOWS it make makes me feel better.”

This house will never be without Formula I.

Rise and Shine would like to thank Vicki Fitzsimmons for this wonderful story. Vicki is a Shaklee Member in Menomonee Falls, WI.
