VIVIX Testimonials*

DIABETES TESTIMONIAL: As you know, I am
diabetic with all the problems that go along. One of my
greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost
his from diabetes. I suffered severe neuropathy in both
my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put
in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with
PAD. I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly.
Hardly a night went by when I wasn't awakened by
them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This
would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix,
I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg
cramp. So wonderful! And I can feel my toes
again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages
down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience
full nights of restful sleep. Cathi S. Lindall, CPA
ALZHEIMER’S: For the first time in a few years, my
mom made a sandwich for herself! It may sound like a
simple thing but Mom hasn’t had an appetite in years.
She referred to me as her daughter to someone the
other day! We’re actually thinking of discontinuing her
Aricept completely. She’s been on Vivix for 4 months.
Last week we showed Mom her wedding album and
Mom said: “That’s me, that’s mother, that’s father”. I
think I’m going to give her 2 teaspoons per day and see
what happens! We are really starting to see that Vivix is
making a difference. Mary and Maureen Hannon
INHERENT ESSENTIAL TREMORS: I am 72 years old
and have had essential tremors since my early 30’s. The
shaking and tremors became so bad that I had to quit
my job as a lab technician in 1989. When in high school
I could type 60 words a minute. For the past 15 years
in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with
my left hand and type one key at a time. At times, the
tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating
and drinking, but I made a really good “tossed salad”.
I have faithfully used Shaklee supplements since
November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was
introduced. I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with
B-Complex. There was very little improvement. I
started taking VIVIX on August 23. In a week and a
half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened. Now,
at THREE WEEKS of VIVIX, my tremors/shaking are
minimal! I have to learn to use my hands again—I have
to learn to type again with all my fingers!!!
I was hoping a change would occur in two to three
months on VIVIX, but NEVER expected these results in
three weeks. Anne Campbell
ARTHRITIS PAIN: I'm a person who has used
Shaklee vitamins as well as their business plan to
improve all elements of my health profile since 1985. I
am now 72 and have been
experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and
back pain. It has grown and grown over the past
several years to aggravating proportions
effecting sleep and most movement. I was using up to
16 Pain Complex tablets a day to control this growing
pain. It worked to quench the pain but the pain itself
showed no signs of letting up. Then, in early August,
Shaklee Corporation introduced VIVIX, a fabulous new
longevity tonic with resveratrol and super-grape
extracts. I actually began taking Vivix while attending
the convention in New Orleans. It is now September
15th and I'm pain free! I take NO Pain Complex. I use
the Prescription for Health products recommended by
Dr. Jamie McManus in addition to Vivix...one teaspoon a
day. It's great to be able to move again without pain
anywhere. Martha Maxwell
BREAST CANCER: 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 20.7. This was a red flag for me
although my oncologist dismissed it. I started using
Vivix in August of 2008. In October 2008, I had my
yearly checkup and tumor marker 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
2
just like me with products that really do work.
Blessings to all, Nancy R Raleigh, NC
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 email 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
EPILEPSY I was a typical ten-year-old without a care in
the world. I was running, tripped, and hit my head on a
rock. The rock won. Over the last 30 years, I have taken
seven different drugs to manage my Epilepsy. Every
drug either had horrible side-effects or stopped working.
Several years ago I had a Grand Mal seizure on the
freeway. I lost my license. Last year I developed
Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy. I was having seizures every
day, despite taking 19 pills/day. Traditional anti-Epilepsy
drugs obviously weren’t a long-term solution. Enter
Vivix.
I told my doctor that I wanted to try something
different—Shaklee’s “Rx for a Healthier Life.” His exact
words were, “I’ve never heard of it, and I can’t prescribe
it, but I see no red flags.” My seizures went away within
a week of beginning the Rx program, and I’ve had NO
seizures or side-effects since then. I’ve been able to
wean off one drug entirely (9 pills/day). I have also
lowered my blood pressure dramatically, and my doctor
took me off BP medication entirely. I’m now taking the
fewest prescription meds I’ve taken in years. Thank
you, Shaklee.
SARCOIDOSIS..COPD…INFLAMED LUNGS…BONE
PAIN Hi Anne, I wanted to put into words what you
and Shaklee have done for me. This past spring I found
myself dealing with a flare up of Sarcoidosis. This is, as
you know, an auto immune disease that, in my case,
caused long bone (not joint) pain and most troubling,
breathing difficulties. The disease caused calcium
deposits called granulomas to stiffen my lungs, so
constricted airways was not the trouble, it was inflamed
lung tissue that did not want to expand as it should
resulting in shortness of breath as well as coughing.
This affected everything in my life. I was unable to
even go for walks without being out of breath. I was so
frustrated. Thanks to the gift of your friendship and
true concern and the wonderful health and nutrition
products from Shaklee, I was able to get the Sarcoidosis
into remission within about six months.
Now the first time I suffered with Sarcoidosis, which was
in 1999/2000, the disease took a course of one year
before it went into remission. This time, though, I truly
believe that by introducing Shaklee nutrition into my life,
I was able to shorten the duration of the illness. The
drug of choice used to treat Sarcoidosis is Prednisone.
For anyone not familiar with the drug, it reduces
inflammation but along with that it has some terrible
and serious side effects such as bone pain, fluid
retention, insomnia, and weight gain, to name a few. I
began taking a variety of Shaklee supplements
specifically chosen to support and rebuild my immune
system such as Vitalizer, Alfalfa, Immunity Formula 1,
Core Energy, Omega Guard, Zinc, and the Pain Relief
Complex.
Although I still had to continue with the oral Prednisone
in order to breathe comfortably, the supplements began
to help me rebuild my damaged cells. I also chose to
eat as organic as possible and went green in my home
by using Shaklee cleaning products and laundry
products. Anne, with your help, I began to realize that
the medical world does have its place without a doubt,
but it was up to me to monitor my own health, learn
how different foods affected my health and to remove
any chemicals that could possibly be a contributing
factor in relation to the return of the Sarcoidosis.
Truly, nothing that I was doing regarding my choice of
foods (I avoid preservatives in foods), choice of cleaning
products and choice of natural supplements could hurt
me? These things could only help me support and
strengthen my immune system as well as protect it from
unnecessary chemicals. What could I possibly lose??
The support the supplements offered soon enabled me
to reduce my Prednisone dosage to 20 mg per day from
40 mg. I took no other pain relievers except for the
Shaklee Pain Relief Complex. Around the middle of July
I was able to go off of the Prednisone (I had to do this
slowly) and began taking an inhaled steroid, Asmanex. I
no longer needed the Pain Relief Complex as I had no
pain!!!!!
Shortly after this, Anne, you introduced me to Shaklee
Vivix. NO JOKING HERE...within about one week my
lungs started to feel better. I experimented by taking
the Asmanex only in the morning, I cut out the PM dose
(I had done this before, but immediately had to go back
on the evening dose due to breathing difficulties).
After four days without my PM dose, I finally called you,
Anne, and my family cautiously excited that the Vivix
had made a huge difference. I had a follow up
appointment with my pulmonologist on Sept 16th.
He said that based on the NORMAL levels of
inflammation in my blood work and the IMPROVED
FUNCTIONING of my lungs that the Sarcoidosis was in
remission again.

I was so elated and thankful! I no longer take any
steroid medication. yeah!! I truly believe, Anne, that
a strong faith, loving family and friends along with
supporting my immune system with the supplements
and the amazing Vivix, that I was able to win my battle
against Sarcoidosis. Thank you and thank Shaklee for
making an amazing and healthy difference in my life.
God Bless, Jeannie Burgess
RENAL FAILURE & PLYSISTIC KIDNEYS
Tony has been taking the VIVIX since February 2009
and guess what??? We went to see the kidney doctor to
find out about testing me so that I could give him a
kidney and part of my liver because he was high stage
4 renal failure with polysistic kidneys … at stage 5
you have to be on dialysis to live. So we wanted to do a
transplant before he had to start. When they did his
blood work they told us that he is stage 2 to low 3,
and proceeded to take him off the renal diets, saying he
does not need any blood pressure medication and to
enjoy life because he had hopefully many years before
he has to think about dialysis!
You don't get better with this disease …. And according
to the specialists that we consulted, they all said, “there
is no cure”. Tony could not even get on the transplant
list because he had a heart attack in the past.
The doctor wanted to know what was going on and even
ran another blood test to make sure that the lab hadn’t
screwed up. I couldn't think because I was in such
shock. Here we were going there sad, and expecting the
worst, with not much hope after seeing two kidney
specialists that said the same thing. Then GOD and
VIVIX saved our lives. All we could do was cry and laugh
about what kind of meal he wanted for dinner because
he was no longer limited to 4oz of protein a day which
isn't much being he is 6'4 and 240lbs. Anyway his sister
is in the same condition with football size cysts on her
kidneys and we are sending her a shipment of VIVIX
next week. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What
else do you say to someone who gave my husband and
my family our lives back? I will tell anyone I can about
VIVIX in the future and God Bless all of you, I know he
has blessed us. Brandy and Tony Vaclavik
BACK, SCIATIC, SHOULDER PAIN: I am so excited
to share with you what has happened to me since I
started on Vivix. I need to give you some history to
understand my story. 35 years ago I cracked my
tailbone when I fell off a snow tube. I have had trouble
with my tailbone off & on ever since. Two years ago I
started on my weight loss program & cracked my
tailbone again while exercising. This time it affected my
sciatic nerve. I was in terrible pain. It hurt from my
waist clear down to my toes. The chiropractor also told
me that my lower disk was deteriorating. I have never
experienced pain that intense! I had a lot of trouble
sleeping at night. When I sat I had a shooting pain go
down my leg. It would go numb if I sat too long.
During this time I lost 40# with Cinch and I know that
helped. I tried to stay as active as possible & used a lot
of Shaklee food supplements. Over time it got a little
better but I still had trouble sleeping at night.
In April I changed health clubs and tried a new exercise
machine. I knew I was in trouble when I started the
exercise. I immediately felt a terrible pain in my lower
back and my sciatic nerve was “HOT” again! I slowed
down on my exercising a little but didn’t stop. Nights
were the worst. My lower back felt like it was going to
break in two. It was very hard to get out of bed. When
I finally got out I was very stiff & it took a couple steps
to get moving. I looked like an old lady. I started
taking Advil to help relieve the pain so I could get some
sleep at night.
Then in June I was pulling in the boat anchor & hurt my
shoulders. It hurt really deep in my shoulder muscles. I
use to sleep on my side with my arm under my pillow. I
couldn’t sleep on my side due to my sciatic nerve pain &
now due to my shoulders. I only got a couple hours of
sleep a night due to the pain so the Advil increased. I
was very discouraged because I didn’t know how much
longer I could deal with the pain & lack of sleep. This
happened daily until I was introduced to Vivix.
I started on Vivix on 8-9-08. About 2 wks later I noticed
that the weights at the health club didn’t seem as heavy
and I wasn’t as tired after my workouts. Then on 9-8-
08 I noticed I slept a little better. It continued each
night & my pain got a little less. On 9-11-08 I woke up
on my side with my arm under my pillow! I could hardly
believe it. I finally told my husband what had been
happening since Sept. 8th. I didn’t want to tell anyone
for a week just to make sure this wasn’t a fluke. The
back breaking pain is gone! My sciatic nerve pain is
gone! My shoulder pain is almost gone but I can still
sleep on my side. I am sleeping again at night! I would
never have believed that this could have happened just
by adding Vivix! I haven’t had Advil since the 8th.
Thank you Shaklee!!! My husband & I both have Vivix
on autoship because we don’t want to run out. I just
ordered another box of Vivix to keep on hand “just in
case”. This is an incredible product!
Jim has noticed more energy & clarity of thought since
he’s been on Vivix. Suzanne Flemming

STROKE RECOVERY: A massive stroke 3 1/2 years ago
(doctors attribute to my irregular heartbeat-- I believe it
was stress) attacked my right brain (& basil ganglia)
leaving my left side totally unavailable and the
right brain majorly stressed, reactive, & depressed.
Never totally giving up, taking handfuls of Shaklee
supplements, exercising, listening to motivational cd's,
getting Brain Gym balances, regular chiropractic care,
etc., my progress was evident to those who knew me,
including my doctors. But what they didn't see was the
exhaustion and struggle it took. Then along came Vivix,
August 15, less than 6 weeks ago. First I thought it was
probably the placebo effect, but today I can tell you a
few of the things I KNOW have changed.
BALANCE--so bad in the past that one of the many falls
landed me under my rolling car, crushing my right leg,
though not the bone. My balance has improved so much
I now climb stairs, carrying something in EACH hand,
and not even holding onto the rail.
ENERGY--so different now I can do 30 minutes on the
treadmill, noting my improved heart rate & instead of
having to take a nap, I take off to do errands, deliver
Shaklee and attend a Spanish Class – in which I am
much more focused.
FOCUS-- Always ADD and hypoglycemic, worse since
numerous car wrecks in the 80's & the more recent
stroke. I am experiencing now more blood sugar
balance and longer attention spans--just finished reading
a whole book in a couple of days and, most assuredly,
I am making an A in the Spanish class (where my
classmates & teacher are @ 1/3 my age). So I would
say my mental acuity and memory are enhanced as well!
ATTITUDE--OH MY GOSH! I woke up this morning, like
most others since starting on this magical stuff, full of
vitality & optimism, and happy. LIFE IS GOOD! Thank
you, God! Thank you Shaklee! I have my life back,
better than ever! Sylvia Sue Greene - September 27,

VIVIX vs. High Blood Pressure I have high blood
pressure that is controlled by a diuretic and beta blocker
combination medication. Usually even with medication
my systolic ranges between 129-138 and my diastolic
between 75-83 and my pulse would range anywhere
from 80-91 (rarely dropping below 80).
After five days on Vivix™ my blood pressure was 111/69
and pulse 59. The only thing different that I have been
doing prior to this low reading is Vivix™. The past few
days, my bp seems to be consistently around 122/73
and pulse 70. That’s pretty pleasing to me. I hope to
eventually be able to come off all medications. I do
supplement with magnesium and CoQ10 to counteract
what my bp medication causes in nutrient deficiencies,
but I’d rather not have the stuff going through my
system.
I have not been on any other medications, not changed
my diet any and my exercise level is still around 7500
steps a day.
Overall, I seem to have more energy and am better able
to concentrate. I would recommend that you take
Vivix™ in the morning so you can get the benefit of
more energy throughout the day. Genia Powell
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
AGE SPOTS AND PAIN: Although I've been on an
excellent anti-inflammatory supplement and diet
program for over ten years, I've still had some aches
and pains that just haven't gone away. I've been using
Vivix for about two weeks now (since it came out) and
have had tremendous relief of all of the achy pains that
used to plague me! I'm especially relieved not to have
pain around the arthritic bones spurs I have on the
joints of my spine and hands. This is a blessing in and of
itself. However the other day, I got a phone call from a
friend of mine who started using Vivix when I did. She
said her age spots were going away. "What!!!! Hold the
phone!" I said. It looked like mine were lighter too!!
Now several days later I can say for certain that some of
my spots are gone and the rest are much, much lighter.
I'll bet they'll all be gone within a week. I'm also noticing
5
much more energy and I've been sleeping better (less
pain). Better sleep, more energy, no pain and no
spots!!! Hip Hip Hooray for Shaklee! Dr.Sandy

VIVIX & DIVERTICULITIS: Mary Ann Tregnago
reports: “I am a medical transcriptionist; I have
diverticulitis, which had become burdensome to say the
least. I have been using Shaklee products and I know
they are good. A week ago today I started taking one
teaspoon of Shaklee’s new product, Vivix. During the
past week I have not had one episode of explosive
symptoms, no left-sided pain or cramps. I do believe it
is safe to say that Vivix is helping.”
RAPID HEALING TESTIMONY: “Gary started on the
VIVIX Wednesday, August 8th. The 13th he had dental
surgery to prepare for a tooth transplant. The 22nd he
had a follow up visit and the dental surgeon called in
some of his staff to show them that the healing process
looked like it had been 4 months instead of just a few
days! He said he'd never seen anything like this before
and was calling his Mother-in-law who's in Shaklee to
get started on the products! Gary's 67 and has taken
Shaklee for 34 years!” Phyllis & Gary Newman
ABILITY TO FOCUS: Began using Vivix Saturday
morning and by Monday noticed a marked improvement
in my ability to focus on one task at a time through the
day. This has always been an issue for me; beginning
one thing after another and having difficulty completing
any. Even with using Mental Acuity Plus, I still had
some degree of difficulty. I'm absolutely amazed that
I've been so clear-headed, focused and energetic this
week. Viva Vivix!!! Susan Stephens
INCREASED EXERCISE INTENSITY & TIME: I’ve
always been an avid exerciser since I was 20 years old –
aerobic type of activity and weights. But I do have my
limit with my heart and how hard I can push myself –
and I do work out very hard. I have a particular
machine that I work out on called the gauntlet. It’s like
walking up an escalator that is going down. It is a very
strenuous workout. I typically work out on it for about
35 minutes. It has taken me 3 or 4 years to get to the
level of intensity that I work out on it now. If I push
myself harder than my heart can handle, it starts to flip
and go fast and I get a weak feeling all throughout my
body. I have to stop my workout and wait a couple
minutes to get my bearings back. For me to increase
my workout to the next level, it would take me a good
year to work my body up to it – without my heart going
crazy and having to keep stopping.
In 2 weeks of starting on Vivix, I increased my intensity
of my workout without my heart flipping and that weak
feeling AND I worked out at that intensity for 60
minutes!!! I was so excited. This is HUGE for me!!! I
know my body really well and what I can and can’t
handle and this is a complete change in just 2 weeks on
the Vivix!!!
I also get VERY red in my face when I work out – to the
point that people stare at me. It feels like my face is on
fire. After being on the Vivix, my face didn’t feel as hot.
When I looked in the mirror, there was a difference in
my redness. I still get red, but it isn’t near as intense as
it was. It must be because my heart is pumping more
efficiently. Jodi Barnhart
NOT STIFF OR “OLD” LOOKING: Phil Truelove
shared an awesome story with us... has had many
injuries over the years, and OmegaGuard, etc. have
really helped the stiffness, pain, etc. that he has had to
live with BUT since Vivix he can get right up out of bed
without being bent over (fell off a ladder-years ago), he
can walk down the stairs without holding on to both side
rails--he is not stiff or "old" looking as he walks. Linda
Dietz
FIBROMYALGIA: A fibromyalgia client on Vivix,
Vitalizer, and Cinch shakes for 4 days reports: "I noticed
I slept really well last night for the first time in many
weeks. My pain has lifted some and my energy level is
starting to increase.”
NO MORE PAIN MEDS: Nancy Douglas shares the
following: “Tom and I have been on the Vivix for 1
week and 2 days and after about 5 days Tom noticed
that his ankles no longer hurt. He had broken them
both as a youth playing sports. Tom is 65 and arthritis
hit his ankles this year. He had to get up and take pain
meds so he could sleep. After taking Vivix for just 5
days he no longer needs pain meds to sleep.”
TREMOR IS GONE: My brother in law, who is 75 and
recently had some physical problems, got a strong
tremor of his right hand—,--he started Vivix, his only
Shaklee product—and within a few days his tremor is
gone and he is writing normally again! He is duly
impressed and thankful. Linda Dietz
TORN ROTATOR CUFF: Lynn S., from Georgia reports
the following … “Tears come to my eyes as I write this.
Shaklee has brought out a product that is unlike
anything I have ever seen. Two years ago I fell and tore
my left rotator cuff and ripped the ligament off the bone
in my left thumb (I am left-handed). Three months later
the doctor operated on the thumb and re-attached the
ligament to the bone. Six months after that, my other
doctor operated on my shoulder. When I woke, he told
me that when he got in there he found “frozen shoulder”
so he cleaned up the area a little, but wanted me to use
6
the arm immediately or I would never get full range out
of it again. Two years later I still have pain in my
shoulder and it hurts to lift it totally straight to my ear.
My thumb is always sore and the joint is swollen at the
knuckle and also hurts in the joint above it. I have been
on Vivix for a week now. I was driving down to see one
of our daughters who is in college when I realized that
my thumb did not hurt and that the joint was not
swollen! I almost ran off the road I was so startled with
this realization. This was two years of discomfort that I
thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life.
(At 57 that was not something I looked forward to). I
can’t wait to see what else Vivix restores in me!
Remember, it works at the cellular level. I have already
noticed that my fingers don’t feel so “tight” in the
morning when I wake up. Praise God & thank you
Shaklee!!”
BROWN SPOTS & SPUR GONE: I can't believe that
Vivix. I had a couple of light brown spots that showed
up on my face a few months ago and was considering
seeing a dermatologist to have them checked. After just
10 days on Vivix I noticed they were gone. Also the
couple on my hands are fading fast. But the absolute
best testimony I have after three weeks on Vivix is the
following:
I developed a spur in my big toe four years ago after I
stepped wrong and got a hairline crack on the side of
my foot. I eventually couldn't move my toe even a
fraction. The doctor called it a 'stiff toe' and said it was
a spur. He said my only solution was surgery and
wearing ugly shoes the rest of my life. The pain was
horrific for months. I couldn't even stand a sheet on my
toe.
As soon as the doctor said "spur" a light bulb went off. I
remembered hearing years ago that Shaklee calcium
was the only calcium that broke up arthritic spurs while
other types may cause them, so I knew I had to
increase my Shaklee calcium and alfalfa. Within 3 days
the spur was dissolving, but I developed a lump on the
bone above my toe which continued to cause me some
pain. I eventually could wear one inch heels as long as
the shoe wasn't too tight. I had to buy shoes 1/2 size
larger because of the sore. That was definitely better
then the doctor’s only solution of surgery and 'ugly
shoes' but it just wouldn't heal completely.
Then "Vivix" came along. I had taken it for 2 1/2 weeks
when I noticed the lump was gone and no more
soreness. I wore 2" heels this week for the first time in
four years and was pain free. I still had some
crystallization in my big toe, but I noticed that is
completely dissolved now and I can wiggle my toe
perfectly and bend it up, which is probably why I can
wear the high heels now (the spur and lump are both
completely gone). If I really push where the lump was
there is still a slight soreness, but I'm sure that will be
gone soon.
I am so excited. Thank you Shaklee for this unbelievable
product. I had no idea it would help with such a
problem. I've missed so much not being able to wear
heels as I'm short and they just make me feel more
feminine, plus I'm pretty tired of the pain. I was just
taking the Vivix to become younger, like we all are. Viva
Vivix! I also have a friend in Shaklee who said her
bunions are gone and her husband’s dark shadows on
his face are practically gone. I don't understand how
this works so quickly. It's almost scary, but in a good
way.
I think Shaklee is going to be receiving some truly
amazing testimonies as a result of this product. I think
we've only touched the tip of the iceberg.
I just had to share this with someone. Thank you for
listening. Mary McGaffic
ENERGY TESTIMONY: Bill is Professor and Provost at
Bexley Hall Theological Seminary in Columbus, OH
Dear Priscilla, One year ago I was feeling generally worn
down and tired all the time, feeling the need to take
frequent naps. My energy level was at an all-time low.
In my work week, Tuesdays were especially difficult.
The day started with a 6 a.m. wake up and at work by
7:30 a.m. which from then on was relentless: meetings,
worship, more meetings, choir practice, quick lunch,
teaching all afternoon, a quick break for a bite of
supper, and then a three-hour once/week meeting of
another course I was teaching. When I reached my
apartment at 9:30 p.m., I was beyond tired. Every fiber
of my being was exhausted and I had all I could do just
to get ready to fall into bed. The crowning blow was not
sleeping very well and only for four or so hours.
This year is different. Tuesdays are absolutely the same
schedule. And, although I reach the end of the day tired,
I am not exhausted beyond belief. I am able to walk
home with a lively step rather than feeling that my feet
are lead weights. I am sleeping better and longer and I
awake ready to face the new day with renewed energy.
What has made the difference? I have been taking my
spoonful of Shaklee's new product, Vivix, every day
since August 15 and it has obviously affected me the
way that is claimed by the brochures and the
introductions to it that we heard at the Shaklee
Convention in New Orleans. Thanks. Bill Petersen 5

PLANTAR FASICULITIS: For the last 6 months I have
been suffering from chronic severe pain in my left foot
which has been diagnosed as a plantar fasiculitis. This is
an inflammation of a ligament which runs from the heel
towards the large toe. The pain has been so intense that
for the last 3 months I have been using a cane to walk. I
7
had to buy new shoes and to put my foot in a cast every
night while sleeping. I can't take anti-inflammatory or
pain meds so I just had to suffer.
After reading the information about Vivix, I ordered
some and began taking one teaspoon a day last
Monday.
I couldn't believe it but last Wednesday (after 2 days!); I
put down my cane as I could now walk without severe
pain. By Friday I had very little pain and today I have
NO pain. Just one week and I am pain free.
Unbelievable! For any skeptics out there, all I can say is
it worked for me and if you have chronic pain you
should try this. Rick Navarro, Ph.D.
BULGING DISCS & BACK PROBLEMS: I have had
bulging discs and back problems on and off for a good
many years, but with chiropractic and massage and a
successful regimen of supplementation, I have been
fortunate enough to stay off all meds and keep the pain
at bay for the most part, although it always seemed to
return to some degree of severity. I had to be careful
not to lift anything heavy, or twist in the wrong way or
sit too long or the chronic problem would return.
In January of this year, I did something really stupid! I
started to jump-rope in an effort to get some additional
exercise. Not a good choice with two compressed discs.
Walking and swimming is great, but no impact exercise!
On the fourth day I ended up with three herniated discs
and in so much pain that all I could do was crawl around
on the floor for about 10 days. I had an emergency visit
to the orthopedic surgeon, who put me on bed rest,
anti-inflammatory’s (which I took for about 2 weeks) ice
packs and he then recommended I return to my
chiropractor for long-term treatment with the caution
that as long as I responded well and behaved myself, I'd
not need surgery.
After about 3 months of frequent treatments and model
behavior I had recovered well enough to take a trip to
England. I continued to improve over the next few
months except for a chronic ache in my right hip and
groin which often flared up for no apparent reason and
refused to go away. It would temporarily improve with a
chiropractic adjustment or therapeutic massage, but
always returned after a few days. I figured I'd just have
to put up with it since there seemed no permanent
solution.
Enter Vivix! What an amazing product! After two
weeks of taking Vivix, the chronic ache in my groin and
hip disappeared entirely and despite my expectation that
it would come back as usual - it has not! Not even a
twinge and the only thing different was adding Vivix.
Today I visited my chiropractor and I was able to check
the box that said "no pain". He examined me thoroughly
and I waited for my usual adjustments but to my
amazement, he told me that I was in complete
alignment and he could see no reason to adjust me as I
was doing so well. I was thrilled! I've NEVER had that
happen. Naturally I gave him literature on Vivix. I have
also noticed increased energy and endurance both
physically and mentally and I am so much more focused.
I truly feel younger and healthier. Thank you Shaklee for
another winning product that has improved my quality of
life. Anthea Tripp
LYMES DISEASE TESTIMONIAL: I have spent the
past 4 ½ years very sick. I had unknowingly contracted
Lymes Disease from a tick bite while I was hiking in Lake
Tahoe Nevada. A few weeks later I began to feel tired,
had flu like symptoms and my neck was extremely
tense. Lymes Disease never crossed my mind since
those types of ticks aren’t supposed to live in the area.
At the time I was practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine
and thought I was just overdoing it since I had just sold
my practice in Arizona and had moved to Lake Tahoe
with my husband and was starting a new practice. I had
been rock climbing for 11 years and had always been
active, but when I announced that I was selling my
practice, my patient load doubled… “I’m just tired”, I
thought. I decided to make an appointment with a
woman I knew practicing Homeopathic Medicine to see
if she could help me. To make a very long story short,
she did not. Turned out she didn’t have a license and
had never been to school, she was ordering
homeopathic equipment through her husband’s
chiropractic practice. She ended up injuring me to the
point of a near death experience. That was January
2004; I was 29 years old at the time.
It’s difficult to describe the state I was in but to give you
an idea, things we take for granted like speaking and
breathing were exhausting to me. A few too many
minutes on the phone and I would pass out. Needless
to say, I closed my practice. I had been to 16 doctors, 8
western and 8 holistic. I was finally diagnosed with 3rd
stage Lymes Disease and Adrenal Fatigue by my 16th
doctor, years later. She believed that my mitochondria
had been damaged by the “Homeopath” but didn’t have
a good answer on how to fix it.
The Lymes Disease had gone into my brain and
nervous system and I could not walk or speak. I
had become confused and was unable to do simple
things like turn on a light switch, shower or cook. My
parents had to come help us. After being treated for
both the Adrenal Fatigue and Lymes Disease over a
period of 1 year and 8 months, I was well. I still had
trouble with my memory and re-learning was difficult for
me. I only remembered tiny bits about Chinese
Medicine and any time I would try to read or re-learn
something, it would be gone in a matter of days.
I believe that switching to Shaklee products
helped me recover as fast as I did. Most people
8
with 3rd stage Lymes Disease take years to recover or
they don’t recover at all. Going green and switching
to Shaklee vitamins (Vitalizer) made a huge
impact on our lives. However I was still tired quite
often and only had about 4 or 5 hours of energy in me a
day. Then Shaklee launched Vivix!!! This was my
turning point. My fist day taking it I was on the go
during the Shaklee Conference from 6:45am until
12:30am, dancing the night away! As my day got longer
I seemed to have more and more energy. By the 3rd
day of Vivix I had my most clear conversation in years.
Someone asked me about Chinese Medicine and some
health problems they were having, usually I would have
to tell that person that I don’t remember much about
Chinese Medicine. But not That Day! The next thing I
knew I was doing an impromptu assessment and
diagnosing her, it was all clear to me!!
On my 5th day of taking Vivix I happened to have
an appointment with one of my holistic doctors
and he said that Vivix is “bringing me back to life”
and “making drastic changes in my body”. How
Exciting!!! I feel AMAZING! The best way to describe
how I feel is to say I feel the way I did before all of this
happened to me. I could not have written this even a
month ago. I’m Back! I am grateful to Shaklee and am
excited to feel alive again! My husband and I have our
lives back! Not everyone who takes Vivix will be as sick
as I was, but imagine the possibilities and the impact it
will have on those who really are just overdoing it.

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: I was diagnosed with Atrial
Fibrillation four or five years ago. At one point it was so
bad that my heart almost NEVER was in normal rhythm
and I hardly had energy to do anything! I was actually
considering going into the hospital so the doctor could
load 4 “bad” drugs in hopes that they would control it. I
decided instead to put myself into God’s hands, instead
of the doctors’ hands, and He healed my heart! I give
HIM all the credit and glory; because overnight my heart
changed from almost always beating wrong to almost
always beating right. It’s the “almost” part that I want
to address… because, even though there was no doubt
that God had done a work in healing my heart, I still
occasionally had episodes now and then that were
scary. I was concerned that perhaps Vivix might trigger
an irregular heartbeat and asked one of our Shaklee
scientists whether that was a possibility. The response
was that I possibly could experience a great
improvement in heart function. And that is exactly what
has happened! Since I started taking Vivix, I have not
had a single episode of A-fib! Not once has my heart
been out of perfect rhythm! Praise God and Vivix!
Jenny Williams
CARPAL TUNNEL/SLEEP/HOT FLASHES: I have
been taking Vivix for about 3 weeks now. I took Gentle
Sleep each night as I have Carpal Tunnel in both my
wrists from past years of waitressing. I had to wear
wrist braces to sleep, and I still would wake up thru the
night with pain in my wrists, and also was waking with
hot flashes. So I increased my Gentle Sleep to 5 tablets
a night, then I slept well, and no longer had hot flashes,
as long as I took 5 each night.
Well, Gentle sleep was put on back order for months,
and thank goodness that Vivix arrived!!! From the first
spoonful of Vivix, I slept all night, and no hot
flashes. After just a couple days of taking Vivix I
noticed that my wrists weren’t
hurting at all any more, so I decided to stop wearing
my braces at night, and now, they no longer sit on the
table by my bed, they are permanently in the closet
thanks to Vivix, I don't have hot flashes, I don't have to
wear my wrist braces, and my wrists don't hurt
anymore.
I also have noticed that I don't have the aches and
pains all over my body like I used to have. I have
fewer headaches. Just feel good all over.
A little over 6 years ago I suffered a stroke,
I was very fortunate on my recovery despite
my problems that I have. I feel my balance is a little
better, and I'm sure there are more things that are at
work in my body with Vivix that more time will prove to
me, and it's all to the wonderful VIVIX!! Oh, not to take
away from Gentle Sleep, but I no longer need to take
Gentle Sleep with Vivix! It's like a miracle syrup, just a
spoonful a day, keeps aches and pains away!!!
My husband, after hearing me brag about Vivix and
knowing that I no longer wore wrist braces to bed, and
took less medicine for body aches & pains and
headaches, and no longer took gentle sleep and sleeping
good … decided to give it a try!
Well, just after one week, he is hooked, and it's hard to
convince him on any product. He is a Steel worker, so
has lots of aches and pains, and he is one that has
never slept good, waking up every night every hour, or
at the least every other hour. He is sleeping all thru the
night now for the first time, and says that already his
joints and body does not ache like it used t …,
only after one week. His saying is, "I don't know how it
does it, but that stuff works"
I can't wait for more time to go by to see how we are
feeling and looking after taking it longer. Joanne &
Aaron
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 4th, my husband Ron had a small tumor
removed from his rectum which came back positive for
9
cancer. More tests were ordered, and during those tests,
an abdominal 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 16th 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
NEUROPATHY: From Lisa Stocker’s associate: First let
me start by saying I have been a type 1 diabetic since I
was 17, I am now 52 so that's 35 years being insulin
dependent. I have had some diabetic complications, but
the worst would be NEUROPATHY, it's where your
nerve endings don't seem to "talk" to each other in the
correct way. First, it makes you feel like your foot or
hand has fallen asleep, but the pain gets to feel
like someone is sticking thousands of pins in your
hand or foot. The easiest way to explain the pain
is when your hands are real cold and you run
them under hot water, but the pain lasts 24/7.
Well I was put on a drug called Neurontin, which has
some very negative side effects.
Dan talked to me about Vivix while I was in Cincinnati
for Riverfest last labor day, and said our mother was
taking it. I never gave it a second thought as I never
believed "natural" medicines could outperform
prescription medications....While visiting my mother
recently, I discussed Vivix with her and she gave me a
bottle to try, Keep in mind that with Neurontin I still had
Peripheral pain, but with Vivix within 6 DAYS the pain
was almost gone. I slowly weaned myself off the
Neurontin and have been virtually pain free.
I have other diabetic complications that my body is
responding positively to Vivix and may have more
testimony in the future. Paul
DEMENTIA: I was diagnosed with early onset
dementia 6 years ago at the age of 57. With the
Shaklee products I take, the doctor said I was doing
great. However, even though I was “doing great”, I had
poor sleep, was a grizzly bear in the morning, not much
energy during the day and didn’t look forward to doing
things!
However, after Vivix, I have a new clarity that had been
missing for a long time. I also have much more energy
and sleep better and now get up in the morning – eager
to get busy! This is a TREMENDOUS difference for
someone with memory problems. Linda Berton
EYESIGHT: My sister, who is a wildlife artist, told me
yesterday that she didn't need her reading glasses as
much when she is painting up close in detail! Barb
Heller
HIGHER METABOLISM: My VIVIX testimonial is that it
seems to have increased my metabolism! I am able to
eat more like a regular person and still stay thin (in fact
I've lost about 3 pounds), instead of eating like a bird
and working out all the time!
One of the David Sinclair videos on You Tube shows him
saying that the ingredients seemed to offset obesity in
laboratory rats even on a high calorie diet! I'm definitely
not on a high calorie diet, but like I said, I seem to be
able to actually eat regular amounts now. Barbara Heller
SKIN MORE YOUTHFUL: My skin has been very dry,
and getting worse, for the past several years. My
husband said my forearms looked like tanned leather.
The skin was thick, dull, and very dry, in spite of using
Enfuselle facial moisturizer on them. If I scratched my
arm even slightly there would be a white mark and skin
would flake off. I had assumed it was just a sign of age
and I'd have to accept it. Mona Jones, Irmo, SC
AGE SPOTS & SWOLLEN KNUCKLES: I am a
massage therapist and I pay a lot of attention to my
hands since they're my working tools. Over the years,
I've developed numerous age spots on both hands. I
also have sun damage on both cheeks (on my face).
Anyway, I noticed something different with my hands on
day 3 of Vivix. Yes, they were looser. My always
swollen knuckles were looking almost normal. But there
was something else going on and I couldn't pinpoint it.
This morning (day 6 of Vivix), I looked at my hands and
screamed for my husband. He came running, thinking
10
he was going to have to save me from something
terrible. Instead, I shoved my hands in his face. My
right hand only had a few age spots on it. My left hand
had NO age spots!
I have looked at these spots for years and thought that
it was just something I was going to have to live with.
Then, I looked at my face in the mirror. The sun
damage on my right cheek was a mere shadow. On my
left cheek, there was only a little spot. I can't wait to
wake up in the morning.
I knew this product was amazing when they introduced
it to us, but I never would have dreamed that it would
work this fast or have these affects. It's almost scary.
I hope I have many more Vivix stories to tell! April
Simmons, Ball, LA
SINUS PROBLEMS: I have been taking Shaklee
supplements since 1986. One thing that has been a
constant was sinus infections with taking antiobotics
once yealy. After adding Vivix to my supplement regime,
I can honestly say that the sinus symptoms are gone. I
knew Vivix made a difference after spending the night at
my sisters. She has cats and I would normally be taking
Claritin after the visit- I had no symptoms at all. Vivix is
certainly worth a try if you suffer from sinus problems
like I had in the past! Karen M. Brown
SKIN INJURY: I just want to share what happened last
week with my husband and Vivix-- he has been taking
Vivix faithfully since I brought it back from New Orleans-
- it is incredible that he remembers to do this since I can
barely get him to swallow 2 Vita-Lea! He practices
Brazilian martial arts which is very acrobatic, and last
week at gymnastics class, he messed up a back
handspring and landed on his face on rough carpet. His
entire forehead and the bridge of his nose had the most
terrible rugburn I have ever seen. He continued with
Vivix and cared for the skin injury very carefully over the
following week. I thought he would have terrible
scarring, but after seven days it is almost imperceptible
to see where the large patches of skin had been scraped
off. I cannot believe how fast and how completely his
skin healed itself-- and then I realized "Oh my gosh, the
Vivix helped repair his skin to this extent!" I have no
doubt that he would have had completely different
results had he not been taking the Vivix! Mary
Baird, Durham, NC
HEART PROBLEM: I am so elated about what Vivix has
done for my heart in only 2 weeks!
A little on my background:
I have had a history of heart problems since my early
20’s. My average heart rate was 213 beats a minute for
10 years, called Super Ventricular Tachycardia. My
heart would pound so hard, you could literally see it. I
was always weak, dizzy and light headed. I didn’t want
to take drugs because of the side effects. I was under a
lot of stress in my work trying to climb the corporate
ladder. I knew the importance of good health. So, I
always ate good food, exercised daily and thought I was
doing everything I could to be healthy.
After 10 years of this, I had 2 heart surgeries (because
my symptoms kept coming back). I was still having
problems - a fast heart rate and feeling weak. I was in
and out of the hospital every month for a year – test
after test – and they still couldn’t figure out why my
heart rate was so erratic and fast.
I had heard about Shaklee products and how great they
were from a friend years before, so I decided to try
them. I thought maybe they might help me from feeling
so weak all the time. I really didn’t expect much
because my condition was so severe. Within 6 weeks of
taking the products, it was like night and day for me in
how I felt. I have to say – I was shocked at what they
did for me. I was no longer weak. I didn’t have to stop
at the top of the stairs and catch my breath and my
bearings. I know it was the protein powder that made
the biggest impact on my health. I call it my life blood.
I can’t live without it. I feel like it oxygenates my cells
(that’s my theory based on how I feel).
I also had been told back then that I couldn’t have kids
because they would have birth defects because they
wouldn’t be getting enough oxygen. Since being on the
products, I had a baby who is very healthy and now 11
years old.
My daughter has been taking Vivix since the convention
and noticed yesterday that the little red bumps that she
has had on the backs of her arms for fifteen years are
almost completely gone. She has been taking Shaklee
supplements for a long time and this is the first time the
bumps have gone away. She has also noticed that her
endurance has gone up for her Pilates classes. She also
finds that her face looks more rested. Can't wait to find
out what else will happen! Chris Schmelzer, Centennial,
CO
COLITIS: I suffered for many years from ulcerated
colitis - an inflammatory condition of the large colon
which produces burning, itching and diarrhea. I watched
my diet very carefully and added the Shaklee
supplements that are important for healthy digestion
along with the Vitalizer.
My condition improved; but as soon as I would eat sugar
or any gluten, I would again suffer a great deal of pain
and diarrhea.
I began taking VIVIX and noticed that day by day the
inflammation was less and less. All the symptoms
associated with the disease were gone in 8 days.
VIVIX has also given me a great deal of energy, my
brain works better and I feel younger.
11
VIVIX has changed my life as I suffered for many years.
Thank God for Shaklee, Donn Mathias
HIGH PSA SCORES: 9-18-08, my PSI was 9.1. I
consulting with my sister, who is a Shaklee distributor, I
added the following Shaklee supplements to my daily
routine of taking Protein and Vitalizer - VIVIX,
NutriFeron, Saw Palmetto, and Immunity Formula I to
boost up my immune system.
On 9-26-08, the blood tests showed a drop in my PSA
levels to 6.9, which the nurse said was highly unusual.
My PSA scores had dropped down from a high of 9.1 on
September 18th to a low of 3.4 in just 6 weeks! Plus, my
free PSA scores of 28.8% are the highest I have
ever received since I started having prostate problems in
2005.
As I started VIVIX on 9-12-08, my doctor was amazed at
these rapid changes in my PSA scores. He said that
"something was going on," and I educated him on what
changes I had made and the benefits of Shaklee's
supplements and VIVIX! Now, he doesn't want to see
me for another 6 months! Plus, he said that the chance
of this being cancer is under 5% whereas a month ago
he said that it was around 20%.
In addition to the changes in my PSA scores, I am
noticing an improvement in my vision. Plus, I do a lot of
climbing on ladders for my work, and the pain in my
knees has lessened as well. So, once again, Shaklee has
risen to the occasion and made a huge difference in my
health!
So, thank you Shaklee for creating VIVIX and all your
other great health-improving products! I am a true
believer in Shaklee. John G. 10-28-08
FIBROMYALGIA: A fibromyalgia client on Vivix,
Vitalizer, and Cinch shakes for 4 days reports: "I noticed
I slept really well last night for the first time in many
weeks. My pain has lifted some and my energy level is
starting to increase.” April Simmons
NO MORE PAIN MEDS: Tom and I have been on the
Vivix for 1 week and 2 days. After about 5 days, Tom
noticed that his ankles no longer hurt. He had broken
them both as a youth playing sports.
Tom is 65 and arthritis hit his ankles this year. He had
to get up and take pain meds so he could sleep. After
taking Vivix for just 5 days, he no longer needs pain
meds to sleep. Nancy Douglas
SWOLLEN KNUCKLE: My children gave me a ring that
I have worn for many years on my left ring finger.
For the past five years, my knuckle was swollen from
arthritis and I hadn’t been able to wear the “special”
ring.
Since taking Vivix for 2 weeks, the knuckle has “shrunk”
and I have been able to wear my “special” ring every
day. I am Thrilled! Betty Simpson
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and COUMADIN:
Five years ago I had a mitral valve replaced and also
experienced atrial fribrillation and was put on Coumadin
"for life" to prevent a stroke. Needless to say I have not
been happy about this.
I started Vivix August 16 and have taken it without
interruption ever since. As people on Coumadin know,
you have to have your blood checked on a regular basis
- for me it was usually every 5-6 weeks. After 7 weeks
on Vivix my blood tested too thin. I need to be
between 2.5 and 3.5. I tested at 4.1 (too thin). I was
told to go home, have a salad (greens thicken your
blood), and come back in two weeks to be checked. In
two weeks my blood again tested too thin. I really
didn't think too much about it until I went back again in
two weeks and again tested too thin. This time my
Coumadin was reduced and I was thrilled. The only
thing I was doing differently was the Vivix.
I told this to the Coumadin nurse and said I would bring
her information on Vivix on my next visit. I went back in
two weeks and my blood was still too thin and my
Coumadin was reduced again. I gave the nurse my Vivix
information and she said she couldn't understand how
the Vivix was thinning my blood but "do not stop taking
the Vivix."
I am due to go in again Wednesday, Nov. 19, and hope
for another reduction in my Coumadin.
Also, I faithfully take 3000 mg a day of sustained release
Vita C and I do not bruise like a lot of people who are on
Coumadin. Kathleen Johnson, Omaha, Nebraska
VERICOSE VEINS, CONCENTRATION AND POST
SUGERY: I am 26 years old and although I didn't know
how much vivix could do for me (being so young!) I
decided to give it a try. During the first week I noticed I
was able to concentrate better - I started organizing my
computer desk and actually finished. Usually, I would
start something and move on to something else before it
is finished. When I was 21 I tore my ACL completely
and had surgery. After the surgery, I lost feeling in part
of my leg. I was told it may come back but it never did.
After about a month of using the Vivix I noticed that the
feeling was almost completely back! I have also noticed
the vericose veins in my legs disappearing - how
wonderful!
God Bless, Barb Manganello

HAMSTRING-TORN ROTATOR-CHEST PAIN: I
have had problems with my hamstring for about two
years and a torn rotator for more years than I can
remember. The rotator injury was like someone putting
a screwdriver in the back of my shoulder and relentlessly
prying. If you want to understand what it feels like, try
this. Have someone pinch your skin very hard and
instruct them to not let go regardless of your reaction.
The pain will increase very quickly and intensify the
more you think about it, and you will start to feel like
you’re going to panic. The difference is that you can pull
the hand away causing the pain.
I had secondary pain in my chest causing anxiety like
symptoms and palpitations, which I saw two doctors
about. The tests were negative for cardiovascular
problems. I would always feel tightness in my chest, I
was easily irritable when my shoulder would inflame. I
knew the pain in my chest, and the pain in my mind, was
to do with my shoulder. It was the thorn in my side that
kept me company and preoccupied me while trying to go
about my life.
Let me tell you about the hamstring tendinitis. It is
inflammation of the hamstring tendon as it attaches to
the butt bone, or pain and tenderness at the ischial
tuberosity. Examples of symptoms are: pain when
stretching the hamstring; pain when flexing the knee
against resistance; and, a gradual onset of pain following
a sprinting session. You may have experienced a groin
pull, and if you have, the feeling is similar. These things
have been problematic and extremely annoying. In spite
of doing physical therapy and countless chiropractic visits,
the problems persisted and really only worsened. Even
with having a background in exercise physiology and the
training and discipline to provide self-therapy, I only
aggravated them. At times, I felt frustrated and
hopeless. I despaired about living with this for the rest of
my life. I’m not one to cry about these sorts of things,
but I was livid because with everything I’ve learned and
have done to help people, I could do nothing. I’ve
functionally mobilized clients who had total hip
replacements, knee replacements, and even had a client
who lived in a body cast for two years after having two
titanium columns inserted into her entire spine, and
fused, and I could do nothing. What I had was very
minor compared to that, which was even more frustrating
– until I started Vivix.
I started Vivix about two weeks ago, and what is
happening to me is remarkable! After about three
days of taking Vivix, I noticed the tension in my
chest to ease, and at the time the muscles in my
shoulder and leg started tingling. I then started
noticing stiffness in those muscles, like I worked those
muscles out the day before and I thought to myself,
that’s strange, I didn’t work those muscles. Then I
realized that I have not felt this kind of soreness in years
in those muscles, and this is the good news. The reason
I have not had this feeling in years is because my
muscles could not heal. You see, when muscle tissue
is in chronic inflammation, it’s not healing. If you stress
inflamed muscle it just stays inflamed and painful.
Normally, for example, after you work out your muscles
they go through a process of inflammation and then you
get the soreness. That soreness has a name which is
called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). DOMS
can actually feel good to avid exercisers. This soreness is
a very normal response of healthy muscle tissue which
occurs one to two days following exercise. My DOMS just
took years! And now, every day I feel this nice tingling,
and the pain lessening. I am just starting to notice
improvements in strength and range of motion as well.
It’s like I can feel the resveratrol actually working. I
suspect that Shaklee put nano robots in with the
resveratrol or something. Vivix is truly powerful nutrition.
