"Love, man's greatest emotion, is the birthplace of happiness.
There can be no true happiness in life without it."

Reflections on a Philosophy
Greetings!
I’m excited about this month’s newsletter. There is so much exciting news to
cover!
If you haven’t heard already, it is with some sadness that I did my very last
professional massage this week. After 10 years of service, it is the
end of an era for me. I have been grateful for so many of my clients and
the wonderful experiences of "Integrating Touch" into your lives.
For those of you in the area that would like to keep connecting with nurturing
touch, I can now refer you to another
professional male or female massage therapist.
I am tremendously excited about this Birth of a New Era
for me, as I am now moving on to
dedicate my focus on leadership and making a much needed difference in our
culture.
Last week, I led the Wide Sky Men’s Council's meeting in honor of their 18th
birthday. We had a wonderful discussion and process around the theme "Now that
I’m an adult..." in which we shared how we were going to be responsible, not
just for our actions, but also for our dreams, for participating in our
communities, and for how we wanted to be supported. It was a great experience
and helped me kick off my new way of being of service as a leader.
Inside this issue...
In honor of
Valentine's Day and National Heart Health Month, I've included some terrific information on
heart health.
There is also an important new video
on chemicals in personal care products from the
Environmental Working Group, and an article from the
LA Times on how our
pharmaceuticals, beauty products, flame retardants and plastic additives are
affecting hormones in fish and are working their way up the food chain.
Learning
about these issues is an important part of
raising consciousness so you
can see how our health and the health of our planet are connected and why it is
so important to use healthy products like Shaklee’s and to recycle
appropriately. Please pass this information on to everyone you know.
There is also some timely information on the
recent Flu breakouts and tips on
how to strengthen your immune system.
Plus, if you’ve been wondering about all the
dubious food label claims about servings of fruits & vegetables, fruit
juices, and juice supplements, check out the special report on Fruits vs.
Juice: "Lost in Translation" from the Center for Science in the Public Interest "Nutrition Action"
newsletter.

NATIONAL HEART HEALTH
MONTH!
Cardiovascular disease,
although largely preventable, is still the single greatest cause of death
in the US each year.
"Scientific
research continues to point to the countless health benefits of consuming more
omega-3 fatty acids in your diet and I highly recommend OmegaGuard, with
pharmaceutical grade fish oil - a product you can trust - every day! "
Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D., FAAFP Shaklee
Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education
Help
reduce your risk
of heart disease with OmegaGuard, the world's finest fish oil.
OmegaGuard utilizes ultra-pure, pharmaceutical grade fish oil which provides a
full spectrum of seven natural omega-3 fatty acids including EPA, DHA, ALA and
others.
Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA
omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
One
serving of OmegaGuard provides 905 milligrams of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty
acids.

Make sure to read this article on how
pharmaceuticals, personal care products, flame retardants and plastics are
affecting sex hormones and fish and are working their way up the food chain...
Yesterday, I heard on the radio that the FLU
outbreak has reached 49 states, and 22 people have died.
Apparently the current
influenza vaccine did not predict the right strain. And they don't know if
they will be able to make enough of the new vaccine in time.
This is yet another reason
to keep your immune system strong.
For additional help when
needed, make sure to have
Defend &
Resist Complex on had at all times.
Much stronger and more
potent than other Echinacea formulas, Shaklee's Defend & Resist Complex attacks
assaults in FOUR powerful ways.
When you first feel the
need, it can help you nip a cold or flu in the bud, or recover faster if you do come down with
something. It's great for traveling or whenever you've been exposed or
will be exposed to sick people.
The food industry and even the "Health & Wellness"
industry is not always truthful about your health.
Package labeling on popular snack foods, juices
and "juice supplements"
can mislead us into making poor food choices and buying "hype" if we don't
educate ourselves and use common sense.
When you go to open your wallet, remember
that these claims are more about marketing than science. Think
of the fads that come and go, and watch what is "hot" today and gone
tomorrow. Remember when noni was all the rage? Then it was blueberry,
then pomegranate, then mangosteen, and now acai. What will the marketing hype be about
next year?
Read this article from the Nutrition Action Health
Letter (a publication put together by The Center for Science in
the Public Interest), "Lost in Translation" for more information on juices vs. the
real thing.
The key is to become more conscious about your food choices.
The best advice is to stay as close to nature as possible and to strive for
balance. And whatever you do, make sure you stay away from
high fructose corn syrup in your juices. Make sure it says 100% juice and
has at least some fiber listed on the label.
And don't forget Shaklee's science-based
Antioxidant
Solutions Pack for 12 of the most potent carotenoids and flavonoids
impacting human health available.
Mary Lou,
now 34 inches and 71 pounds healthier*, zoomed from brand new Shaklee
Distributor to Business Leader in 3 months.*
Shortly after she joined Shaklee, Mary Lou underwent foot surgery. Just before
the surgery she had found Cinch. To her surprise, even during her recovery
(spent in a recliner) Mary Lou lost two dress sizes!* “I just followed the quick
and easy Cinch Program and continually melted away,”
she says.
The
shy side of Mary Lou melted away too. “Before, I was an extreme introvert and
was lucky if I got any customers,” she says. “Now I feel confident talking with
people face to face.” “People would stop me on the street and ask me what I was
doing to lose the weight! And it’s not just the inches I lost, but how much
healthier I look that amazes people,” she says. “And I get a lot of responses
from the before and after photos posted on my web site. People really connect
with photos and a story.”
“People notice if you’re in the health and wellness field yet you’re not taking
care of yourself,” Mary Lou continues. “So if you want your Cinch business to
take off, be part of the program,” she says. “You’ll feel great and look great
too.”
The
month of January saw incredible, record-breaking results in both sales and
business leader growth, including:
186
New Rank Advancements
100
New Business Leaders
25%
increase in Sales, January over December.
Plus: A
RECORD 32,000 people joined Shaklee in
January!
The GOLD Ambassador Program is a HIT!
So far
16,600 GOLD Ambassador Mission PAKs have been sold and 83,000 trees have been
planted as a result.
$2
million in GOLD Bonuses + $1 million in volume bonuses = $3 million paid as a
result of the GOLD Ambassador Program, over and above the normal product
volume and leadership compensation.
WOW!
We are really making a difference!
BACKORDER STATUS
With a
25% increase in sales, it's no wonder that some of the hit new products have
gone on and off backorder 2 and 3 times! Shaklee anticipates that these
backorders will be shipped out this week.
So
order yours today so you will get them as soon as they become available!
