Dear Shaklee family,

Welcome to The Gazette Ezine!, the Free monthly ezine of Franfort Distributors Group – Independent Distributors of Shaklee Corp., USA. In this edition I would like to share with you, our readers, a little of bit more about Dr. Shaklee’s philosophy and what makes Shaklee different.

For 50 years Shaklee has been leading the way in natural health products and the first company in the world to be certified to have a net zero impact on the environment. When everybody else was celebrating the creation of plastic and synthetic materials, Dr. Shaklee turned to nature, finding the purest natural ingredients for vitamins and making one of the first biodegradable household cleaners in the world. Our mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone.

Shaklee conducts over 350 tests on every single new ingredient and over 80,000 quality tests annually to guarantee the purity and safety of each and every product. Plenty of companies claim their product work, but Shaklee has proof. You see it in over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals that prove the effectiveness of Shaklee products and over $250 million invested in research and development.

All of us at Franfort Distributors Group are very grateful to you, our readers, for your collaboration and support. We hope to keep you as trusted members of our family, for many years to come.

So don’t be strangers! Drop me a line anytime with suggestions, story ideas or a few silver linings of your own.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Until next month, warm regards

The Wisdom of Dr. Shaklee

In addition to his accomplishments as an innovator in the field of nutritional supplements, inventor of environmentally safe household products and a pioneer proponent of a new business model, Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee Sr. was also a philosopher. His published works are precursors to Tony Robbins’ writings about positive thinking, today. Here are some notable quotations from his writing, which-although written decades ago-are even more relevant today.

“You must share your life with others, for the more you share with others, the more valuable your share will become. The more you share with others, the more you keep for yourself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
-Reflections on a Philosophy
(The Benjamin Company, Inc. 1973)

“Our first goal should be living in harmony with Nature, for the laws of Nature are fixed laws. They will never change, so we must adjust our lives in accordance with their demands.”
-Reflections on a Philosophy

“Never think of an unpleasant thing you do not want to happen, for your thoughts direct the expression of your life. Build a thought-pattern that will guide you in the expression of happiness.”
-Thoughtsmanship: Ten Rules for Happiness and Contentment (Shaklee Corporation, 1983)

“What you think, you look; what you think, you do; what you think, you are.”
-Thoughtsmanship: Ten Rules for Happiness and Contentment

“Progress is the direct result of the service man renders to others…the greater the service rendered, the greater the progress.”
-Reflections on a Philosophy

“Success is no money-although it may include it. Success is not business activity-although it may encompass it.”
-Thoughtsmanship: Ten Rules for Happiness and Contentment

“Don’t think for one moment that your daydreams are beyond your power of accomplishment. Shaklee Corporation was once but a daydream. The unusual values found in Shaklee products were once but daydreams. Beneath those dreams was built a thought-foundation, and today they are a reality.”
-Thoughtsmanship: Ten Rules for Happiness and Contentment

Thank you and Hello from Our Lady of Fatima!

By Francisco H. Isla, Franfort Distributors Group

I would like to thank all of our wonderful guest and neighbors of North Bergen for their support in our first presentation in Our Lady of Fatima. We started late due to over-booking problems, I must admit it was a total success! One of our newest Shaklee Distributors, Mrs. Gladys Arriz from Newark NJ, was with us giving us her support and getting used to this part of town.

We were able to get the first space at the entrance, which allowed us to put our latest DVD. Also we made a demonstration of our Get Clean and let me tell you, people were amazed how wonderful these products are. We’ll be back there next spring.

Social Marketing
Health, Opportunity and a Better world. For all.
Plain and simple, Social Marketing™ is a business model that leverages your social networks to make everyone’s life better and rewards you for doing so. Think Facebook™ and Linked In. It goes way beyond family and friends, it’s people you don’t even know yet have similar interests and passions. It’s extremely powerful.

What Shaklee is doing with Social Marketing is radical stuff. Yet it’s the way they’ve been doing business since 1956! You’re just connecting with people and sharing what you love. We make our own lives better, other people’s lives better, and, along the way, we make the world better. And the average SHAKLEE customer loyalty is over 17 years!

We’re about HEALTH
We think health is the most important thing in the whole world. Without it, we have nothing else. So everything that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to make you healthier. And we do it so well, we’re confident you’ll tell your friends about it.

We’re about Opportunity
When you believe in Shaklee products enough to tell your friends you get a unique opportunity- to be your own boss, on your own terms, and to work beyond whatever goals you set. We’re not only talking about an opportunity to make money. We’re also talking about an opportunity to spend a huge chunk of time at the park with the kids. Unlike other businesses that offer a way to make a living, this opportunity is a way to make living better.

We’re about A Better World
We believe we’re part of a movement to make people, and the planet, healthier. As a leader of the environmental movement for over 50 years, and the first company in the world to be certified to have a net zero impact on the environment, we are the change we want to see in the world. Social Marketing™, Shaklee’s revolutionary business model, rewards you for sharing better health, and a better income, with everyone you meet-to infinity.

This past Saturday, October 3rd, we went to the Desfile mariano of New York in company of the Virgen de Chapi from Arequipa-Peru and I was proudly presented with the highest honor a person could have, to represent one's native country.

The Archibishop of New York and five other representatives from Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico had the privilege of cutting the ribbon to beggin the ceremony. We walked from the 78th street to the 107th Street in amsterdam Avenue. We had the support of the local people as well as the protection of the NYPD. We could enjoy the carrosas from different virgins from latin america; Ecuador, Mexico, Brasil, Honduras, Peru and so many others.

The weather was favorable for a good walk until 5 pm when it started pouring but that didn't stop us because the band kept on playing, the croud was happy to see the virgin who was representing them in this occassion.

Healthy- and Youthful - Looking Skin
Flawless beauty sourced from nature, perfected by science

Over time, skin loses radiance, texture, and tone. Melanin is often overproduced in pockets of cells and discoloration appears. Sun spots, age spots, and brown spots surface, age, sun exposure, and hormonal fluctuations can trigger this melanin over-production. Also, as skin becomes drier with age, collagen structure breaks down, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. With this uneven texture, light-reflecting ability is compromised, resulting in dull-looking skin. Skin tone often becomes uneven, losing its youthful glow. Other factors may contribute to skin woes. Environmental stress and genetic issues are likely culprits. Radiance, texture, and tone are often compromised.

More radiant, healthier, younger, brighter, even-toned
