1 Cancer Testimonials Howards Story I was in my 40s when I first discovered Shaklee. Up until then, I had done all the wrong things! Heavy smoking, poor diet and all the rest you know what I mean! I m sure adding Shaklee products to my life has added, not just years, but much HEALTHIER years! At 72, I m fit and strong. I just completed a 130-mile bike event. I trained for several weeks riding 30 to 50 miles per day. I use all the Shaklee supplements and relied heavily on Performance and Physique during my training and for the event. NO SORE MUSCLES, EVER!! At 62, I walked 650 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I depended on the Shaklee supplements and drinks as my main food source with a light freeze-dried meal at night. Cinch Snack Bars and protein drinks mixed in a Shaklee shaker with water from springs along the trail kept my energy level high. All this sounds great, but the benefit of Shaklee becomes even clearer when you know I survived a malignancy and the resulting cancer treatments with amazing resiliency. And, a year ago, shortness of breath alerted our doctor to check deeper. The result was a 6-way bypass, probably a carryover from my early lifestyle. Recovery from the surgery was almost instantaneous and, through it all, no heart-attack! That muscle stayed strong and hardy! I hate to think how these challenges would have turned out without Shaklee to strengthen every cell in my body! Now, I m looking for a special pursuit for my 82nd year. Howard Cartwright Can The Body Heal Itself? The C word I hate it. I cringe every time I hear someone declared to have cancer. When many people hear the word cancer they automatically think death. But think again! We personally know many people who have seen complete victories over cancer by making some life-altering changes (diet, nutrition, supplements, water, etc.). No person is the same, nor is any one situation the same. But it is amazing to see how God created our body s to heal themselves when given the right nutrients. It is a powerful thing! I would love to hear your thoughts and stories if you have had similar testimonies come your way! We hear so much bad news on the local news every night! Let s share some good news!!! A good friend of mine, Rachel Brewer, shared this amazing story of her father-in-law s miraculous recovery from cancer. His story and plan are below. Rachel has a passion to see people s lives changed and health restored on all levels.

2 Cancer Testimony by Roscoe Brewer March 10, 2010 In November of 2008, I had surgery to remove 60% of my liver and cancer there. Afterwards, I went for a quarterly cat scan and blood work to see if the cancer returned and it didn t for one year. But, in November of 2010, a checkup showed that there were three cancerous growths on my pancreas. The doctor stated that they were not operable and that most people with this kind of cancer only had six to twelve months to live. He also did not recommend chemo therapy since the chances for curing the disease were slim. Without options and at the coaching of my family, I decided to try a nutritional based, immuno-therapy program recommended by a Shaklee rep. It consisted of juicing fruits and vegetables, Shaklee supplements, alkaline water, and eating only vegetables and whole grains. The basic position of this program is that the body can heal itself if given a chance. The average person has cancer cells in their body but their immune system is strong enough to reject them. My immune system was obviously not strong enough to resist the cancer. After three months, I went for another cat scan and blood test. My doctor reported to me that the cancerous growths had shrunk significantly. His words were, I don t know what you are doing, but keep it up because you are going to lick this. I am continuing the program and plan, upon defeating this cancer, to make most of these practices a life style. Please know that all the information listed below is how I am fighting my cancer. But I quickly want to add that hundreds of people have been praying for me. I know that God is going to heal me and I celebrate this. But in my heart of hearts, I know that it is God that is doing this and not just my holistic nutritional program. **Please know this post is not saying results would be the same for everybody. But there are many wonderful testimonies just like his, and strong evidence that shows that our bodies can use the right nutrients and processes to heal itself! It s a beautiful story of faith and commitment. Breast Cancer & Vivix I share my story to help all who have been afflicted with breast cancer. While there are no guarantees, what if Vivix could do for you what it did for me? l am a breast cancer survivor now 11 years out. For the last four years I have had a tumor marker done during my yearly oncologist visit. The range is between 0-35 (of course no one has 0). In 2004, it was around 18. Each year it has slowly ticked up and in 2007 it was up to This was a red flag for me although my oncologist dismissed it. I started using Vivix in August of In October 2008, I had my yearly checkup and tumor marker

3 done. When I got the results I was amazed. My tumor marker was down to 9.3. Wow!!! The only thing I am doing differently is taking Vivix. Thank you God!!! Thank you Vivix!!! Thank you Shaklee!!! Since my encounter with breast cancer, I have made it my mission to help others to live a healthier life. I was not looking for Shaklee. Shaklee found me and I am so very thankful every day of my life. Shaklee has helped me turn something so negative into a positive by giving me the opportunity to share my story and to help people just like me with products that really do work. Blessings to all, Nancy R Raleigh, NC MY CANCER STORY It took cancer to really help me understand what I needed to do for my body to have optimum health. It became a priority and no longer an option. It was August, that I received the dreaded news. Something suspicious was found in my breast. After surgery, I was told that 3 tiny lumps were removed and they were malignant. After much prayer and checking out options of treatment, I decided to work with a naturopath doctor and treat it naturally. That included change in diet, supplements, lymph cleanses, detoxing, exercising, etc. I felt better than ever. My bowel habits improved. I was able to lose weight. I had more energy. I was starting to understand my body by listening to it. But as time went on, I started to eat some of my sugary stuff again. I was doing well and thought I could just include some of that. This continued for almost 5 years. Then a small lump was found under my arm. Two lymph nodes were removed and both were malignant. After surgery, I was told my breast was fine but they found 3 out of 18 lymph nodes were malignant. Their suggestion for treatment was chemo, radiation and hormone therapy. In the meantime, I had consulted a Naturopath about my health situation. She has a PhD in molecular biology and specializes in human tumor cell development. She told me how she's taken malignant tumor cells and put them in an alkaline setting and they go away when it's put into an acid setting, the tumors grow. I decided to do the chemo and radiation along with a good nutrition program. I called it my Weed and Feed program. I would use chemo and radiation to kill the cancer weed and feed my body with good nutrition to build up my immune system. My prayer was to find a medical doctor that would agree with that. The doctor at U of M told me that if this is what I wanted to do. I went through 8 treatments of chemo and 6 ½ weeks of radiation. My Naturopath suggested a good supplement program along with a specific diet to get my body alkaline. That consisted of vegetables, fruits, certain proteins, sprouted and fiber rich foods. It was brought to my attention that there are certain supplements you shouldn t take during certain times of Chemo and Radiation. Through it all, the doctors told me often how well I was doing and how well my blood work was. Even though I had some side effects, my body responded well since I was feeding it with good fuel.

4 There was one incidence when that became obvious. Three months after I had surgery, I ended up having an infection in my breast. The doctors and nurse were totally baffled why it took so long for that to happen. They said that infection usually happens within the first 7 days. They made that comment more than once. My conclusion is that by taking all the supplements and good nutrition, it gave my body the means to fight off the infection until the chemo eventually destroyed that also. I realized that stress can be a big factor in my health. What can I do to reduce that? What baggage am I carrying that needs to be taken care of? (which I had lots of) What exercise am I giving my body? Another factor that helped me was to have a positive attitude. Whatever came along, I always tried to think of something good that could come out of it. Being continuously in God s word helped me accomplish that. I knew God had a plan for me during this time and I was open to find out what it was. I thank God for Shaklee and how it s helped me not just with good nutrition but it s given me an education over the years. It helped me to know that there are alternative plans to build up the body s immune system which can fight off diseases and/or help with the healing process. I like the idea that there are ways to get to the root of an illness rather than take the usual drug route. I m not saying that drugs can t be helpful, but for me, feeding my body with good nutrition is what I call Health Insurance. The end result will bring side benefits, not side effects. What I am doing for my body right now is not just to prevent cancer but also helping me to have a life of optimum health in the years ahead. Elizabeth - Michigan Cancer Update from Johns-Hopkins Subject: JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL GREAT INFO!!! AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY... Cancer Update from Johns-Hopkins : 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

5 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications. 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites. 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink

6 fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup. 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system (ask me about the clinical studies that document Nutriferon s immune boosting power!) to enable the body s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. 1. No plastic containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware,

7 Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food; you get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead. This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life. Pancreatic Cancer and Vivix My husband, Stan, went through a lot of feelings when diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer, anger, fear, anxiety and frustration. He was told that with luck, he would have about 9 months to live. He was 66 years old. In his favor: he didn't smoke anymore, but had years ago; he'd been using Shaklee off and on for years, but not very consistent. As time went on he was more consistent. He had a lot of hidden inner body damage that we didn't know about, like most of us. You can't see what's happening inside so you don't always pay attention to it until the symptoms start getting your attention. He had dropped from 205 lbs to 86 lbs in less than 3 months. I was reminded of pictures of concentration camp survivors. He couldn't eat much, and drank Shaklee Meal Shakes at that point. He underwent surgery which was a success, and they hoped they got all cancer, but only time would tell. Chemo/radiation was started. I presented a nutrition program to his doctors and asked if he could be using our supplements, especially the Nutriferon during all this therapy. They called me and said to definitely go ahead with the products. He started to consistently take Shaklee supplements and Protein Shakes now. His cancer number was about 365. In 4 months they were still around 210. I firmly believe the base of his good blood work was from the Nutriferon, Later we found out that Shaklee FlavoMax was actually a great product for this too. He got stronger even during chemo/radiation. We added Vivix to his daily regiment and his cancer count dropped under 165 within 4 months. We're working towards the 50 marker. Will Vivix keep cancer away, we don't really know, but it has been shown to create healthier, stronger, more resilient cells. Cancer, like other degenerative diseases, undermines the body's cells/organs slowly damaging them. Vivix and other supplements can only work in addition to better food choices, better water, exercise/air, If cells are poor, then Vivix can increase their value. You have to bathe your cells in the very best supplements consistently, surround them with something they can actually use to do their jobs, clean-up, and rebuild. The quality of the nutrition product is extremely important. It is easier to ward off disease than it is to try to cure it once it has taken hold. Supplementation, as Dr. Shaklee put it, is for filling in the gaps, enhancing the nutrition from your meals. So here we are 31/2 years later he is still with us. He even went on a backwoods camp-out and canoe trip - Allagash, Maine. Each day is a gift, and we just enjoy it and make the most of it. Do we believe the supplements had a positive effect YES! Our loving advice is to

8 try to create a healthier life starting anytime - never to young or too old to do that, and take supplements. Check the research. With Shaklee products, you know what results they give, and plan accordingly. Bathe your cells in HEALTHY NUTRIENTS. Does it cost.yes. Everything has a price. Was it worth it.yes. I would say to anyone to never give up trying to rebuild your health, because you really don't know what battles are being fought and won internally on a daily basis. There are supplements I would never give up with cancer - Nutriferon, Vivix, and Vitalizer, Protein Shakes Life is a precious gift. Remember to open it and have some fun!

Nutritional Support for Cancer - Common Myths Re: Cancer & Supplements Myth #1 Vitamins feed cancer cells. Withholding nutritional supplements is like destroying the village to save it. The only way to selectively starve cancer cells is to withhold glucose (carbs) and keep the body alkaline. Normal healthy cells use carbohydrates, protein and fat for their energy. Cancer cells ONLY use glucose (carbohydrates) and require acidic conditions to metabolize the glucose. GOOD CANCER STRATEGY

9 Keep blood sugar low Keep blood alkaline (alfalfa and vegetables). sugar, meat and dairy make blood acidic. Myth #2: Vitamins interfere with chemo drugs No good clinical studies have ever shown that supplements interfere with chemotherapy. To be cautious, stop taking antioxidant supplements 2 days before chemo until 2 days after. ( only antioxidants. Other supplements can continue ) Chemo drugs are designed to leave the body rapidly after they do their job Some time between chemo treatments is required for normal cells to recover Traditional Side Effects of Chemotherapy Chemotherapy non-selectively damages all rapidly growing cells in the body, Affecting Hair, Lining of Digestive Tract, and Bone Marrow Causing skin lesions, Sores in the mouth Digestive side effects are nausea, vomiting, dehydration Chemo causes neurological damage-- chemo brain Some drugs adversely affect the blood, damaging platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes All essential for the immune system Products that address Digestive Issues For nausea Stomach Soothing Complex For dehydration Performance Optiflora to restore essential probiotics EZ Gest provides all the digestive enzymes needed to digest fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc if needed. Big concern Bone marrow Damage Bone marrow is the reservoir for undifferentiated stem cells for all blood cells platelets ( for clotting ), neutrophils & lymphocytes (white cells) Blood cells have a life span of a few weeks to a few months, so they need constant replenishing. The conversion from stem cells to mature cells requires cell division and, therefore, is potentially damaged by various chemotherapy drugs This is why blood counts often drop with chemotherapy drugs. It is Critical to Provide Nutrients the Bone Marrow Needs to Replenish the White Blood Cells and the Platelets.

10 Protein critical to keep calories & protein up Vitalizer - Feed healthy marrow cells with Vita C, Vita E, Zinc, B Complex, Carotenoids, and Vita Lea (All in Vitalizer) Nutriferon stimulates interferon production which causes the bone marrow to make more immune cells. What About Red Blood Cells Red blood cells are less affected than white cells and platelets, but anemia can still be a problem. B Complex --very important for red blood cell production Iron Plus C -- sometimes needed But the most life threatening event is the weakening of the immune system from loss of white blood cells Patients can succumb to infections from fungus, bacteria, yeast, etc. Or get internal bleeding or stroke from loss of platelets. Immune system is critical to fight the cancer cells Consuming Bad Fats can be a cause of cancer Reduce BAD fats increase good fats Eicosenoids are hormone-like substances that control cell growth. Bad eicosenoids are made from bad fats omega-6 fats, saturated & trans fats these are found in fried foods, foods made with vegetable oils like safflower, corn oil, sunflower oil etc, such as chips, crispy snacks, baked goods, processed foods, some salad dressings, beef, pork and lamb fed corn to fatten them Good eicosanoids are made from good fats omega-3 fats in fish --Vitalizer & Omega Guard Omega Guard Omega 3 Fatty Acids Extra omega 3 fatty acids to reduce the eicosanoids that stimulate cancer growth. Omega 3 fatty acids produce good eicosanoids that inhibit cancer growth. Omega 6 fatty acids produce bad eicosanoids that stimulate cancer growth.

11 Saturated fats & trans-fats may also stimulate cancer cell growth Restrict Sugar and carbohydrates Cancer cells rely exclusively on glucose to grow. Cancer cells grow best in an acid environment Therefore Keep blood sugar very low. (no sugar, starchy snacks) Eat protein and vegetables. Alkalize the body with alfalfa and vegetables Detox the blood and liver Chemotherapy drugs are poisons They are designed to attack their targets and then leave the body all within a few days. Help detoxify the liver with Liver DTX Purpose of chemotherapy The effectiveness of chemotherapy is directly proportional to the number of treatments that can be given to eradicate the cancer cells. If the patient becomes too weak, if the white blood cells drop too low, treatment must stop. So the goal is to keep the patient as strong as possible during treatment so the full round of chemotherapy can be administered That is why it is essential to strengthen normal cells between chemo treatments. What Normal Cells need to recover between chemotherapy treatments Nutrients needed by normal cells Vitalizer Repair damage of normal cells Vivix and Protein: Cinch, Energizing Soy, Mealshakes, Physique It doesn t matter which they use.. whichever they like but it is essential to keep protein and calorie levels high.

12 Immune nutrients Nutriferon, Vitalizer, FlavoMax, CarotoMax (PreVitamin A, controls cell growth ) Additional Nutrients Defend and Resist Echinacea ( 1 week on 1 off) Nutriferon causes production of interferon. Interferon stimulates production of more immune cells Radiation Usually given daily Avoid antioxidants so as not to protect cancer cells from the radiation ( C, E, carotenoids, flavonoids, Vivix, and Vitalizer, Cinch and Meal Shakes as they have antioxidants in them) BUT take the supplements that are NOT antioxidants Nutriferon, B Complex, Energizing Soy Protein, Instant Soy Protein Mix, Optiflora, Zinc, To Review The Take Home Lessons There are no clinical studies showing whether or not supplementation interferes with chemotherapy Because of the uncertainty some caution is prudent while the chemo drugs are in the body So we stop antioxidant supplements 2 days before through 2 days after Chemo, as the drugs leave the body in about hours. Then we resume them to help the normal cells recover between rounds of chemo so that more chemo treatments can be given Clinical studies do show supplements can improve quality of life on chemotherapy To Review-- during chemotherapy Stop antioxidant supplements 2 days before through 2 days after chemo. Antioxidants are Vita C, E, CarotoMax, FlavoMax, and Vitalizer, Cinch and Meal Shakes (as they have antioxidants in them) and Vivix. Continue to take Nutriferon, Optiflora, B Complex, Energizing Soy Protein shakes, Instant Soy Protein Mix, and Zinc.

13 The only time B vitamins are not recommended is when taking methotrexate & related drugs. Antioxidants should be avoided during radiation treatment Thoughts from the Professor Chemotherapy is the best of times and the worst of times At its best, it offers miraculous cures At its worst, it exerts a terrible toll on the normal cells in our body A prudent approach to supporting our normal cells while minimizing the interference with chemotherapy offers the possibility of: minimizing side effects & improving quality of life maximizing the number of chemotherapy treatments that can be given These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Cancer and helping the Susan B Komen Foundation In October, 2006, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had 2 lumpectomies, went through chemotherapy, herceptin, radiation and I had a partial hysterectomy. When I finished chemo, I restarted Shaklee s NutriFeron, Vita- Lea, Osteomatrix, and Sustained Release Vita-C... PLUS 6 months prior to my last check up I started on VIVIX. My physician, who is the Head Surgical Oncologist in the Breast department at Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, Florida, said my blood work and exam were excellent! I asked if they were any closer to a cure for breast cancer. The doctor said No, but that a substance has been found to treat the individualized expression of breast cancer, for nonhormonal breast cancer. They feel it will prevent the re-occurrence of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Moffitt has just put in for a one-million dollar grant for a clinical trial of this substance. When I asked What is the substance?, the doctor said it was RESVERATROL. I said I have been taking Shaklee s Vivix (Resveratrol) for 6 months. The doctor looked surprised, and said You re the first person that we have ever seen that had such great results with Resveratrol. I will request for you be a patient advocate during the testing. If the grant is approved I would be thrilled that I will be helping the Susan B. Komen Foundation in this study.

14 Taking Vivix, NutriFeron and the other supplements takes the edge off my cancer fears, knowing that they may prevent the re-occurrence of cancer. Barbara W, Seminole, FL 9/17/2009 Cancer Story Let me relate a story I heard today about a woman who had cancer 10 years ago and refused chemo and decided to go the natural route using Shaklee and other alternative approaches. She has done extremely well for many years. When Vivix came out her friend told her about it she sent the information to her doctors and normally they would send her an response but not this time! They called her and told her to, not walk, but RUN to get this product and start taking it immediately! - Lorri BASAL CELL CANCER and DIABETES In October of 2007 I was diagnosed with a Basel Cell carcinoma (skin cancer) on my left shin. The Dermatologist cut and scraped it out and asked to see me again in 6 months. In July of 2008 The lesion had not healed and appeared to be even larger. We scheduled a surgical procedure to remove the entire lesion including going as deep as needed and excising healthy skin all the way around (about the size of a quarter). In August I began using VIVIX. 4 weeks later, I went for the surgery and the cancer was essentially gone! I've been a dedicated Shaklee nutrition user for many years and VIVIX was the only difference in my supplement program. Ed has been diabetic for many years and on insulin for a number of them. He has struggled for a long time to get his A1C levels below 7 (these levels are measured every 6 months and are more important than the daily sugar levels to determine how well you are managing your disease). After 4 weeks on VIVIX his regular check-up indicated his A1C levels have dropped from 7.2 to 6.6. We're expecting even better results at the next check-up! Ann & Ed Mangelsen CANCER This year has been a journey for our family. I look back and see many blessings despite hospital stays and doctor visits from April through September. On April 4 th, my husband Ron had a small tumor removed from his rectum which came back positive for cancer. More tests were ordered, and during those tests, an abdominal

15 aneurysm was found. On June 18 he had the surgery to repair the aneurysm prior to having the rectal surgery for the colostomy. In mid-august we met with the colo-rectal surgeon who indicated that the pathology report showed the tumor had invaded the rectal muscle and the margins were questionable. Their recommendation was to have the colostomy to be sure the cancer was completely removed; however we had the option of first having a biopsy of the area where the tumor had been removed. On September 16 th the doctor called telling Ron that there were no cancer cells in the biopsy. Ron had not been using any Shaklee supplements. With the first pathology report in April, I set Nutriferon on the kitchen table and explained the product, telling Ron he should start taking six a day. I also gave him Optiflora, Carotomax, and Vita Lea Gold with his prescription medications. In August we started using Vivix daily. At the time of the biopsy in September, Ron had been taking the supplements since April and on Vivix for six weeks. Where did the cancer go?? The surgeons cannot explain it. It was there but it is gone. I think back to Dr Shaklee saying Give the body what it needs and it will heal itself. This has been my prayer since last April. Ron questions Was it the Vivix? but continues to ask for the Vivix every morning and he faithfully takes the Nutriferon and the other supplements. I thank God and Shaklee that the cancer is gone. I am also thankful for the surgeons who were willing to do more tests before doing more surgery. Jan Cruise The above is NOT a prescription, and should not be treated as such.
