Women and Children First

Although it’s not possible to review every health challenge a woman or her infant may face in a 4-page newsletter, we will soon discover that it IS possible to reduce the risk for developing irritating and/or life-threatening conditions by the proactive choices made by any mother during her pregnancy and during those precious infant years.

To maximize on limited space, we will abbreviate some research discussions, leaving it to our readers to review the related (footnote) resources for a more detailed analysis.

You may want to refer to these helpful tools:

The Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary [1] provides definitions of medical terms
The The Merck Manual [2] reviews the diagnosis and management of every disease.
The Nutrition Section [3] reviews the many health benefits provided by different vitamins, minerals, herbs and other phytonutrients.

It’s also very important to remember that most of the products we will review are “targeted solutions” for specific health challenges, and should be considered as important additions to a pre-existing nutritional program.

As Dr. Shaklee repeatedly stated:

a basic nutrient program MUST include 2 key ingredients for maintaining full health: A superlative multi-vitamin, along with a plant-based source of complete protein. [4]

Shaklee provides a lovely assortment of multi-vitamin products, starting with the original

Vita-Lea, and then progressing on to the amazing

Vitalizer System, and finally culminating in the advanced

Shaklee Life Strip.

Vita-Lea and Vitalizer are both available in 4 different formats:

for women (with iron),
for men (without added iron),
and for those of us aged 50 and above,
the Gold series, with OR without vitamin K.

The Life Strip is available in 2 different formats:

for women (with iron), and
for men (without added iron).

Shaklee’s protein products also come in a variety of formats.

You can choose from:

Four delicious soy-based Life Shakes
(French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate, Strawberry, or Cafe Latte),
And now, 2 new delicious Plant Protein Life Shakes
(French Vanilla AND Rich Chocolate),

NOTE: All Life Shakes are available in 14-serving pouches OR
economical 28-serving pouches. (Save ~ 29⊄ per serving!)
Shaklee's beloved Energizing Soy Protein (Cocoa or Vanilla),
or the no-carb Instant Protein Soy Mix (Unflavored),
and finally the delicious Shaklee® Meal Shakes (French Vanilla or Bavarian Cocoa).

Getting Older

“Growing old” is a very recent phenomenon for humans. For eons, the average life expectancy was somewhere between 30 to 40 years. The most dramatic leap in longevity occurred during the last Century, because of improvements in water purity, sanitation and improved access to emergency and critical care.

It’s simply astounding: in 1900, the average lifespan in the US was only 47 years,
while by 2000 it had skyrocketed to 77 years!.

During this same time frame, farming practices evolved (or devolved?) from natural organic practices into industrialized agriculture, relying on chemical pesticides and fertilizers to force-grow crops. [5], [6] Food processing and packaging advancements also tend to focus more on shelf life than nutrient content. [7], [8]

This is why Dr. Shaklee observed that

“Too many of the people who came to me for treatment appeared to be overfed but undernourished“ [9]
