Yes I agree diet is a huge factor in restoring health. My sister was suffering and in bed because of fibromyalgia 3 out of 4 days for months. She was scaring me.
I had found Shaklee non-toxic cleaners and through that incredibly life changing discovery (I have asthma and I can clean without getting sick for the first time in years) I decided to bet the farm so to speak and send my sister the Get Clean products as well as got her started taking the Vitalizer Wellness Pack. It is vitamins and supplements that based on a new Landmark Study by University of California - Berkeley found that 20 year Shaklee product and supplement users had markedly better biomarkers for good health.
Within 6 weeks, she was out of bed, cooking for her family twice a day and even drove 500 miles to come see me. That was priceless! I want to shout it to the world that I’ve found a company with products that go through over 300 tests for purity, potency and safety - every batch and every supplement-down to the pill level.
The products come with a 100% guarantee - if you don’t feel better in 30 days - call Shaklee and ask for a refund. That won’t happen though - I know it.
