FELICES FIESTAS PATRIAS PERU

Every 28 of July we, the Peruvians, celebrate our independence day. When I used to be in high school, I used to proudly march in El Parque de la Bandera among other schools and military shows of patriotism.

In the center of the capital, Lima, all the military must report to march unless they are on duty protecting the military bases. My relatives meet at the avenue and we all sing the national anthem. After that, usually the higher ranks in the military get saluted by the troops and these and other memories are in my mind specially on a day like this one.

It’s been several years now that I haven’t been able to be there on 28 de Julio with my friends and my family but even here in America, I feel like sing my national anthem and salute the flag and I want to share this moment with all of you, my dear friends and together say ¡QUE VIVA EL PERU!

I’ve been living in this magnificent country for 16 years and I was living in Peru for 17 years. I celebrate both events with the same happiness in my heart and the same patriotism because I belong to both nations.

Nancy – 25 lbs. Healthier

“I don't think I'll ever give up having a CINCH shake for breakfast! It is just part of my life now - and I feel great! " Nancy says.

Nancy – 25 lbs. Healthier

“I’m SO happy!” is the first thing I said to my friend. I couldn’t believe the weight was coming off this easily and steadily without me being hungry or feeling deprived. I had tried to lose weight before, and found it was a real struggle. My job kept reminding me of my weight - I represent a clothing line and my samples are mostly size 6 and size 8 – I couldn’t fit into my own samples. It was getting depressing.

Thanks to the Cinch Inch Loss Plan®, I am 25 lbs lighter and 18.5 inches smaller. My friends and customers all want to know the secret of my success. It is no secret – it’s the Cinch plan! I now fit into my sample size clothing and couldn’t be happier.

The products taste great – the vanilla shake is my favorite. It is fun to mix in different fruits and flavorings to make a shake that is perfect for me. Even when I travel for work I can bring the shake packets with me to make a quick and healthy meal. The great tasting snack bars and meal-in-a-bar make Cinch even more convenient. Lemon Cranberry is my favorite snack bar – it tastes just like dessert.

My husband is not trying to lose weight, but he has also been enjoying the products, recipes and exercise. I had a lot of fun competing with my husband to see who got in their 10,000 steps every day. Even on busy days I manage to squeeze in my walking, even if it is just 15 minutes at a time. I’m starting to see muscle, I have tons of energy and I feel great!

I don't think I'll ever give up having a CINCH shake for breakfast! It is just part of my life now - and I feel great! I am SO happy that I got “Cinched!” I would encourage everyone to just give it a try. You’ll be happy, too!

Vivix™ Testimonies

Testimonies started to circulate soon after Vivix, the world’s only cellular anti-aging tonic was introduced on 8-8-08. You have to understand, the very first users of this natural resveratrol supplement were primarily loyal brand users. They know the science, research, and clinical testing behind each and every product. They know of the safety of this brand that conducts thousands of quality tests on individual ingredients. They know of the quality of the ingredients and how that quality is responsible for maintaining products that really do perform. And they know that the company does not introduce a product unless it has been proven in their own scientific studies to work.

And so the testimonies continue to come.. have a look at just four (more to come).. and be prepared to say, “Wow!”:

Diabetes Testimonial – No More Leg Cramps and I Can Feel My Toes Again!

“.. 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

Arthritis Pain – Now Pain Free!
“… I am now 72 and have been experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and back pain. It has grown over the past several years to aggravating proportions affecting sleep and most movement. I was using up to 16 pain relief 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.” ~Martha

Five weeks later and Martha, quoted above, is pain free! She takes no other pain relief tablets. She uses the prescription for health plan products recommended by the brand’s director of medical affairs (Vivix, Vitalizer, Cinch & Nutriferon) on a daily basis and is enjoying being able to move again without pain anywhere.

Cancer Story
Let me relate a story I heard today about a woman who had cancer 10 years ago and refused chemo, deciding 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

Inherent Essential Tremors – Fast Results
“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 per 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.

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 23rd. 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

Age Spots and Pain – and Other ‘Side Benefits’
“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 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 bone 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 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
