Get Clean (The Safe Way)

Did You Know?

In 2005, 218,316 reported poison exposures came from household cleaning products.

Common household cleaners and appliances give off fumes, which can potentially increase the risk of asthma in children.

The EPA says that only a fraction of more than 81,500 registered chemicals have gone through testing for human health concerns. 81,500 represents approximately one in every 750 known chemicals.

The EPA lists the following household cleaning products as “hazardous waste” – oven cleaners, drain cleaners, wood and metal cleaners and polishes, toilet cleaners, tub, tile, and shower cleaners and bleach.

The average U.S. household generates more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste per year, and the average home can accumulate as much a 100 pounds of household hazardous waste in the basement, garage and in storage closets.

Vitamins 101

For over 56 years, Shaklee Products has offered vitamins and supplements, natural skincare products, and other safe cleaning products. See why millions of people choose Shaklee for their natural health needs.
Vitamins, one of the most essential nutrients required by the body, can be broadly classified into two broad categories namely, water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) get flushed out from the body; therefore there arises a need to consume these vitamins on a daily basis. On the contrary, fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) get stored in the body's fatty tissues. There are distinctive kinds of vitamins and each vitamin play a unique role in promoting health fitness.
Here is a list of different vitamin types:

• Vitamin A: it helps a great deal in improving your eyesight. Also it aids in maintaining healthy skin. Rich sources of vitamin A are: eggs, milk, apricots, carrots, spinach and sweet potatoes etc.
• Vitamins B: vitamin B is a list of multiple vitamins like B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, biotin, and pantothenic acid. Vitamin B aids in generating energy that the body utilizes to carry out its activities. Vitamin B also participates actively in making red blood cells that carry oxygen to different parts of your body. Rich sources of vitamin B include whole grains, such as wheat and oats, fish and seafood, leafy green vegetables, dairy products like milk and yogurt, beans and peas etc.
• Vitamin C: it helps in strengthening your gums and muscles. Vitamin C found in citrus fruits like oranges, also aids in healing wounds. It enables you to overcome infections. Foods rich in vitamin C, apart from citrus fruits are: tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage and strawberries etc.
• Vitamin D: it works towards strengthening your bones and teeth. It also aids in absorbing the calcium required by the body. Foods rich in vitamin D are: fish, egg yolk, milk and other dairy products etc.
• Vitamin E: It takes care of your lungs and also aids in formation of red blood cells. Good sources of vitamin E are: whole grains, such as wheat and oats, leafy green vegetables, egg yolks, nuts etc.
• Vitamin K: vitamin K helps in the maintenance of normal levels of the blood clotting proteins. Good sources of vitamin K are: leafy green vegetables, dairy products, like milk and yogurt, pork etc.

Dr. Shaklee Quotes

Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, a San Francisco chiropractor, created "Shaklee's Vitalized Minerals" in 1915 before the concept of vitamins was fully understood. In 1956, Dr. Shaklee founded the Shaklee Corporation with his two sons to manufacture nutritional supplements. Shaklee chose the relatively unknown multi-level marketing business model to market his product. Starting in 1960, Dr. Shaklee began marketing organic, biodegradable cleaning products. He continually emphasized "natural" and "environmentally friendly" in his marketing messages, ideas which were not common at the time.

1. Golden Rule: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

2. "Blessed are the straight thinkers, for they shall hit the bull's-eye."

3. "What you think you are. What you are speaks so loud, I can't hear what you say."

4. "The difficult things we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer."

5. "Our thoughts create our luck: 'Whatsoever a man soeth, so shall he reap.'"

6. "Someone once said, 'Life is divided into three terms: that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better for the future.'"

7. "Activate your thoughts, and activate your life."

8. "Sow the seeds of happiness in others, and you will reap a joyful harvest."

9. "Live in the joyful NOW. Plan for a happy future, but make sure you develop the habit of enjoying the present."

10. "Start THINKING your way to a happier, more contented life."

11. "Happiness is the reward of creative thought, so, if you want to be happy, set about creating happiness. Happiness comes from doing, not from wishful thinking."

12. "If you serve humanity, you can't keep the dollars from rolling in."

13. "Listen to the voice of nature and feel the joy of living."

14. "Your future will be exactly what you think to make it."

15. "The medical field is interested in treating disease. I'm interested in building health."

16. "We're having the time of our lives."

17. "I wanted a company that would improve the lives of everyone it touched."

18. "What you think, you look. What you think, you do. What you think, you are!"

Kids with ADD, ADHD, and Autism .....and Shaklee

I came across this article from SRKindredSpirits about kids with ADD, ADHD, and Autism. It is amazing the power of a safe option like vitamins:  (for more information on great products for kids, try this starting point.)

There is research that shows Shaklee Vitamins have helped children with ADD, ADHD, ASD and Many other disorders. 

Our son, QW has NOT been diagnosed with autism or ADD or ADHD; however he has been diagnosed with Autism Symptoms, delayed speech and multiple developmentally slow learning disabilities and other spectrum disorders. 

We are doing an experiment with Shaklee supplements of our own (of course, with advice and guideance from an experienced herbalist that he sees every 3 months.)

We (family, Sunday school teachers and many others included) have seen a BIG improvement in QW since he has been on Shaklee (even better improvement than when he was in therapy three days a week). I'm sure he will improve even more as we keep adding to his daily Shaklee supplements. (Right now, he can't swallow some vitamins and I haven't found 'the perfect food’ to disguise them in yet!)

 We have also cut back on sweets, processed foods, MSG & additives. (I could do better at this, I do it a little at a time.) I do bake with alot of flax seed. We only buy farm raised grass fed beef (it’s so much better for you!) This year we started raising our own grass fed beef. We also use our own fresh eggs and chicken, and I home can most of my own sauces, soups, veggies and fruit. Starting in Sept., we’ll have fresh goats milk, and cheese too!

 I only clean with Shaklee "Get Clean" cleaners, dish soap, hand soap, disinfect, scour off & laundry, shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toothpaste etc. and that has made a big difference in our whole house and family.

As of now, QW is taking the following Shaklee Supplements:

Chewable Vitamin C

Optiflora –both prebiotic and probiotic

Chewable Cal/Mag

Chewable Multi Vitamin – Ocean Wonders

Omega-guard

Mental Acuity Plus

Soy Protein – in protein bars – everyone loves them!

Vitamin B Complex

Zinc Complex

Some of QW’s improvements we have noticed since using Shaklee:

Not rubbing his head continuously

Talking more clearly – not whining nearly as much

Using more words and speaking complete sentences

Memorizes short bible verses for Sunday school (sometimes only the first few words are right - but it's an improvement!)

Will sit still for 5 -10 min. at a time

Will answer questions in Sunday school about the lesson and has been winning quite a few quiet seat prizes!

Will color and ‘draw’ pictures

Can understand things better

Is helping with small chores - feeding animals, picking up rooms, carrying dishes to the sink, putting away laundry, etc.

Will sing a song by himself – also hums a tune when big sister plays the piano

 - I’m sure that I am missing some things….. But, hopefully this will give you a little bit of an idea though! (He is still a very active little boy, but we see improvements everyday!)


QW in Sunday School.... trying to follow along in his Bible!

We can’t say enough about how great Shaklee products have been for our family! You can read more of our story (about our fight with our daughter’s health) and the reason why we want to share Shaklee with you here! It amazes me how so many people keep using prescription meds or reg. store synthetic vitamins to treat health problems, yet year after year, they do not change for the better! Drugs treat the symptoms (and cause others) Shaklee treats the cause! This we have seen right in front of our eyes!

This 16 oz bottle creates an unbelievable 48 gallons of super-safe, really powerful, all purpose cleaner. We challenge you to use it up any time soon to clean everything from spilled milk, to bug guts on the window, to splattered spaghetti sauce.

For all-purpose cleaning:
Add 1/4 tsp. to 16 oz. of water.
For windows and mirrors:
Add 1-2 drops to 16 oz. of water.
For degreasing:
Add 1 1/2 tsp. to 16 oz. of water. For bigger jobs, add 2 oz. to 1 gallon of water.

 BUT... The internet has countless other uses for Basic H. Check out a few of them below:

****DISCLAIMER**** Shaklee has not tested these uses and does not endorse them. Please use at your own discretion and risk. For Shaklee's authorized uses, check out their official listing here:
http://maggieandcharlie.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00015 

 
Fish Odors – 1/2 Tbs. per quart of water.  Basic-H2 works wonders on boats, docks.
Washing RV, Boat & Camper – 1/2 Tbs. per gallon of water.
Crayon - To remove from walls, use full strength.
Spot Remover - Apply directly on spotted area, which has been dampened with water. Use a toothbrush or finger to rub basic-H2 into area.  Wipe with a damp cloth or rinse in basin of water
Upholstery - Mix 1/2 Tbs. to ½ gallon water. Spray on & rub clean.
Septic Tanks – Keeps crust from forming.  For maximum health of septic system use all of Shaklee’s phosphate free cleaning products.  This will do much to promote the growth of needed friendly bacteria.
Houseplants – Water plants with 1 oz. Basic-H to 1 gallon water. 4 drops to 1 pint water can be sprayed on the leaves to make healthier plants and keep dust off.
Fertilizer - Add a few drops to warm water, then water your indoor or outdoor plants. The Basic H² solution will make the ground soluble to the water, thus making your plants much healthier than with regular water.

Glove -  Before you start a dirty job or before gardening, pour a few drops directly onto your hands. Rub them together to coat both hands. After you are done cleaning, wash your hands to find that dirt, scum, smell and overall ickiness are nowhere to be found.
Pesticide -  Dilute your Basic H² to a couple of drops per spray-bottle, then spritz your plants as part of your regular routine. Not only will the bugs stay away but you might also find that they are bigger and healthier, as well.
Produce wash – Just 1/8tsp Basic H² added to a pint of water will make an effective and safe wash for your produce. Grit and dirt on leafy vegetables are easily removed, and you no longer have to worry about a funny taste remaining on the produce.
Diaper wash - Coupled with 1/2 tsp of Shaklee Basic G (a germicide), 1/4 tsp of Basic H² can remove germs and odors from your cloth diapers. Leave a bit in your diaper pail to prevent odors there, as well.
Windshield Wash/Rain repellent - Pour 3 1/2 tsp of Basic H² into one quart of water, and use it as your windshield wash. Rain and slush will easily wipe away from your windshield, and bugs will slide away, as well.
Records - Add 2 drops Basic H² to a cup of water and with a soft cloth or brush, wipe off records. Removes finger oils and leaves them magnet free.
Shoes - 2 drops Basic H²  on a clean cloth to clean shoes. Will not wax finish, shine with a dry cloth.

FAQs about Vita-D3 (Vitamin D)

• What does vitamin D do?  A. Scientists continue to study health benefits related to vitamin D.  Recent scientific research has shown that higher vitamin D blood levels can support healthy heart function, immune health, and healthy cell development.  In addition, vitamin D helps support breast, colon, and prostate health.  Children and adolescents need vitamin D to help their bodies absorb calcium, which is essential for building strong bones and teeth.  Adults need vitamin D and calcium to maintain bone mass.  Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

• Does my body create vitamin D?  A. Yes.  vitamin D is sometimes called the "sunshine vitamin" because your body produces it when your skin is exposed to sunlight.  Depending on where you live, 10 minutes of daily summer sunshine may be enough to help your body produce the amount of vitamin D it needs.  However, 10 minutes may not be enough if it's wintertime or if you live in the northern latitudes.  Also, the older you are and the darker your skin color is, the more sun you need to make a sufficient amount of vitamin D.

• How much vitamin D do I need?  A.  The amount of vitamin D your body needs can vary depending on the time of year, your skin color, where you live, how much sun exposure you get, your weight, your health conditions, and how often you exercise.  Talk to your doctor about how much vitamin D you should be getting.

• Who is at risk for insufficient vitamin D levels?
• Individuals who don't eat vitamin D rich foods.  These foods include fish, fish liver oils, and fortified foods such as cow's milk, fortified juices, and cereals.
• Breastfed infants.  Vitamin D requirements cannot be met by human milk alone and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all breastfed infants be supplemented with 400 IU/d.
• Older adults.  As we age, we don't synthesize vitamin D as efficiently.  Institutionalized seniors are at very high risk for vitamin D deficiency.
• Populations with limited sun exposure.  Homebound individuals, those living in northern latitudes, people who wear long robes and head coverings, and people with occupations that prevent sun exposure are unlikely to obtain adequate vitamin D from sunlight.
• People with dark skin.  Darker skin reduces the skin's ability to produce vitamin D from exposure to sunlight.
• Those who are obese, overweight, or have undergone gastric bypass surgery.  Individuals with a BMI >30 typically have a low plasma concentration of 25(OH)D, this level decreases as obesity and body fat increases.
• People who don't exercise regularly.  A recent study found positive associations between 25(OH)D levels in adolescents, vigorous physical activity, and maximal oxygen consumption.

• How can I get more vitamin D?  A.  One way to up your intake of vitamin D is through food.  Foods that contain vitamin D include fish and vitamin-D fortified foods, such as dairy products, juice and breakfast cereals.  However, most people don't get enough from food alone.  Up to 80% of Americans may have insufficient levels of vitamin D.  Taking a vitamin D supplement is a convenient and effective option for increasing vitamin D levels.  Talk to your doctor about how much vitamin D you may need.  Your doctor will ask you about your diet, your exposure to sunlight, and other factors that may impact vitamin D status.  Your doctor may also suggest testing your vitamin D levels.

• What kind of Vitamin D is best?  A.  The preferred form of vitamin D is vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol.  This is the more potent form of vitamin D that the human body makes with exposure to sunlight.
