As a medical technologist, I
was not receptive to supplementation - felt that if I needed
vitamins, my internist would order them. The only reason
my good friend, Janey convinced me to take 3 Tbsp. Instant
Protein, 4 Vita-Lea and 9 Alfalfa a day was Shaklee's
guarantee to refund my money if I didn't feel better in 30
days. I really wasn't feeling that great.
When I started supplementation
in 1976 my symptoms included: an irregular heart beat due
to virus pneumonia in 1943, which damaged my heart wall (spent
1943-45 on complete bed rest); constant headaches, extreme
fatigue, severe allergies, a bald spot four inches by two inches
on the back of my head, eight breast tumors in eight years,
abnormal Pap Smear, constant back pain due to an injury in 1949,
bleeding eczema on my right palm, psoriasis on scalp and knees.
In two weeks my hand was
healing (I thought from using Basic
H); my headaches were going away; I could breathe through my
nose; my energy level improved! Miracles were
happening! I started researching the role nutrition played
in our bodies. Shaklee became a way of life.
In 1981, M. Nasr, M.D. became
our Internist/Cardiologist and prescribed mega-vitamin
therapy. Last year I asked him how long I would have to
take 15 Alfalfa, 2 Vita-E 400 I.U., 6 B-Complex, 2 Beta
Carotene, 4 Cal. Magnesium, 6 Vita-C SR, 2 EPA, 3 Formula I, 3
Lecitin, 2 Vita-Lea, and 6 Tbsp. daily Instant Protein, and he
replied, "How long do you want to feel good? When a
body is as sick as your body was, you will need to take them for
the rest of your life."
Another word of warning for
those who feel that if they take supplements they won't get
sick. This winter, I 'burned the candle at both ends', had
another virus infection; put off going to the doctor. When
I did, was shattered to find that there had been further damage
to my heart, which we are now trying to rebuild.
So please, get prompt medical
attention if you become ill - continue taking your supplements
and the magic of Shaklee
will be there to give you a healthier, happier life.
