Fight The Cold (and other sickness)

Lately I have seen many posts on Facebook from friends who are suffering from colds, flu, and other viruses.  I know how easy it is to be a sceptic, but there really are some natural vitamins and supplements that can help drastically reduce your risk of catching them, stop them in their tracks when you feel it coming on, and or reduce the adverse affects so you can still function.  I'm not suggesting this to try to sell you something - I am suggesting it because I have found a natural way to fight these things and I want to share it with everyone!  Aside from the 83,000 tests annually for quality, I have personally experienced the benefits from using these products.  It is very rare that I get sick and when I do I start fighting it early and generally get away without getting 'knocked down'.  These products are 100% guaranteed!  Even after using the whole bottle, if you don't feel any difference send it back for a 100% refund!  With a guarantee like that it is hard not to give it a shot.  Sure you can go down to the drug store and pick up some OTC cold and flu drugs to mask your symptoms - OR you can take some 100% natural vitamins and herbal supplements and stop it before it comes on. 

"I can get the same thing from ---mart for half the cost".  Well, actually no, you can't. 
     * Shaklee products are manufactured under strict quality guidelines.  Every ingredient is tested multiple times to be sure every bottle is of the purest and cleanest quality.
     * Shaklee vitamins have a patented delivery system S.M.A.R.T (click to see).  They have done studies to determine where along the digestive track specific vitamins/supplements/nutrients need to be 'released' in order for them to be absorbed and effective.  Chances are, that commercially bought multi-vitamin you are taking never makes it to where it needs to be.
     * Shaklee has a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee if you don't notice a difference.

Products are available at retail prices, however I would suggest paying the one time membership fee because you will recover it quickly with the discounts and if you find these to work as well as I have, I am sure you will be re-ordering.  The membership fee is a one time deal (not monthly, yearly, etc.) and start at $19.95 - this gives you a 15% discount on everything all the time, access to other occasional discounts and savings, access to all kinds of health and wellness related articles, and the ability to start your own referral based business.  Other memberships are available that include materials for someone really looking to build a business.

Products I would suggest for an adult (kids products are available as well):
**product information is direct from Shaklee - the statements made have not been evaluated by the FDA (as you will find with any vitamins/supplements).

     * Vitalizer (3 formulations for Women, Men, Seniors): $79.25
          - This is a 30 day supply of 6 different essential foundation products. (Vita-Lea multi vitamin, Carato-E-Omega blend (2), B+C complex (2), Optiflora Probiotic).  From my own experience: I have been taking these for about 18 years and noticed within a few days just how crappy I was feeling before.  Increased energy, better sleeping, stronger immune system, just generally feeling better.

     * Nutriferon: $39.00
          - Patented, clinically proven blend of immune-strengthening plant extracts. When used daily, it increases the production of your body’s natural interferon, a critical activator of the immune system.**  From my own experience: I have taken this daily since its introduction and have noticed a big difference in my ability to stay healthy.  For several years I have traveled a great deal by car and plane and have been around tons of people at trade shows and in stores during peak cold & flu season.  It is very seldom that I get sick and when I do start to feel something coming on I pair it with Defend and Resist Complex.

     * Defend & Resist Complex: $17.30
          - Shaklee's blend of echinacea purpurea to stimulate the body’s natural resistance,** black elderberry to help maintain a healthy immune response,** and larch tree to enhance immune support.**  From my own experience: When I get that first feeling that something may be coming on, I start taking these (6/day) for the first few days and then decrease the dosage depending on my condition.  Generally, I can stop whatever it is dead in its tracks.  If it does 'set in', by continuing to take these in addition to the rest of my 'plan' I am able to function as though it wasn't even there.

There are certainly other Shaklee products that would go a long way towards helping anyone out, but this would be the best place to get started and a HUGE step towards investing in your health.  I can't make any guarantees on how it will effect your health, however in my mind here are some possibilities: 
     * potentially save or better your chances down the road from sickness/disease (cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, colds, flu, mersa, etc)
     * Save hundreds of thousands of dollars in hospitalization/treatment costs (according to getbetterhealth.com, average heart attack costs apx. $760,000)
     * Keep you from having to dump toxins into your body to fix one problem only to cause another (ever really consider the side effects of prescription drugs or the long term unknown effects?  According to findlaw.com, there were 1,472 different types of prescription and OTC drug recalls in 2009)
     * Support a company that supports you.  (see my blog "What is Shaklee")

If you are interested in getting started, just ask me how.
