******************************************
1) Testimonial
On May 1, 2009 Shaklee introduced Shakleekids Incredivites™ and Mighty Smart™ designed to help children optimally develop their minds and bodies.

This is the story of Jessie, the first testimonial we’ve received on the results of using these two breakthrough children’s nutritional products in just a couple of weeks.

“Jessie is a 9 year old with a learning disability. She has trouble focusing and reading. Many tests have proven she is not Autistic, Mentally Retarded and does not have Aspersers Syndrome. She is just a little slow. When she draws a stick person she may have the arms coming out of the head or legs from the torso in the wrong place. That is just the way she sees it in her little mind.

Then came Shaklee’s Mighty Smart and Incredivites. Her mom ordered them on the first day it was available. Jessie excited about her shipment of special vitamins just for her. Her package arrived on May 13th. She loved the way they tasted. She started on them that day.

On May 25th she was watching a cartoon educational show on the platypus. They demonstrated how to draw the animal. After the show she told her mom she was going to draw a platypus. She drew it perfectly!  Her mom was so happy and she said this one was for the refrigerator. She never had been able to draw like this before.

On May 26th Jessie was doing her reading. This is difficult for her. She was sounding out her words for her mom. Her focus seemed much better than usual. Then she came to the word "look" which she did not sound out. Mom noticed she had not and asked her why she had not sounded it out. She replied, "that was one of my spelling words from yesterday".

Jessie has not been capable of having this memory before. Mom said she got tears in her eyes at this point. She states that Jessie is just a different child since the vitamins and Mom anticipates Jessie will have a very improved reading capability by the beginning school year in August.”



This is just the beginning of the life for Jessie and all the other children in the world who desperately need Mighty Smarts and Incredivites! Help us spread the word!

2) Make it a Get Clean Summer.
Shaklee Get Clean products are great for the earth, concentrated so they’re good for the pocketbook and proven to clean better than most national brands. As green, concentrated cleaners they’re also perfect for outdoor use. Here are just a few of the many ways you can use Get Clean Products outside this summer.

Camping: Basic-H2 is all you need for dishwashing, laundry and other cleaning jobs while camping. It works in cold stream water because it’s organic and biodegradable. Won’t hurt fish, vegetation or wildlife!

Washing Your Car, R.V. Boat, or Camper: Just ½ Tbsp. per gallon water of Basic-H2 is all you need to clean just about any vehicle. It will even clean off boat algae! Great for awnings too.

Fish Odors: Got some messy fish odors to clean up? Then use ½ Tbsp. of Basic-H2 per quart of water to clean up after filleting your fish or around boats, docks or other fishy places.

Swimming Pool Tiles: 2 tsp. Basic-H2 in a gallon of water, and apply with a sponge to clean those discolored swimming pool times.

Swimming Pool Deck: 1 Tbsp. of Basic-G in one gallon of water, apply twice weekly to kill bacteria and help prevent infections.

Greener Lawns: 1 Tbsp. in “Ortho-type” sprayer application full of water. Makes 2 gallons of Basic-H2 solution. Irrigate immediately for a healthier, greener lawn.

BBQ Grills & Ovens: Mix 2 oz. of H2 per gal of water for a super degreaser. Wash and then scour with Get Clean Scour-Off Heavy Duty Paste for a super easy cleaning of the dirtiest BBQ grill.

Greasy Tools: Just 2 oz Basic-H2, per 1 cup of hot water. Soak tools then just rinse and wipe dry. Yes it’s that easy!

4) Five Indispensable Shaklee Products for Summer Traveling
Okay you’re about to head out on the road for that long-planned summer vacation or you’re just going to keep it close to home this year with a trip to the nearby lake. Here are our recommendations for the five most indispensable Shaklee products to have on hand.

1) Shaklee Performance Maximum Endurance Sports Drink:
Don’t let the name fool you; it’s not just for sports. If you’re doing any kind of outdoor activity this summer you’ll want to have Shaklee Performance on hand.

It rehydrates you faster than water and provides essential fluid and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. It also provides more energy then Gatorade and is clinically proven to both maintain glucose levels for muscle energy and fluid levels for proper hydration.

And if that’s not enough, it’s the perfect for antidote for diarrhea, which is always a concern when traveling about.

Available in Orange or Lemon Lime flavors, we recommend the new Team Pack size, which makes 5 gallons of Shaklee Performance and gives you a significantly lower cost per serving than the smaller size.
