Need to Find Shaklee Products and Vitamins in Missouri?

This is what I ran into recently. You may know that I am a fan of Basic H and the Cinch Diet Plan.

Well, my dentist’s assistant grew up on Shaklee, but her parents got out of touch and kinda wanted to get back on that wagon with products - but didn’t know where to turn.

Just so happens that the membership I got also allows me to distribute their products. While I didn’t have a card on me with my website (ordered some today, for sure) - so I wrote it out on the back of another.

But that brings me to the reason for this post. Yes, I’m in Missouri and I’m a Shaklee Independent Distributor.

Here’s the pitch from my main site:

Supplements and Weight Loss Shakes are popular - and can save you money if you buy the ones which work.

Shaklee has been around for over 55 years, and people have grown up with their products, but it’s often hard to find a distributor near you.

That’s why we are moving to the Internet to let people know how to find us.

You may not have known that you can get Shaklee products delivered right to your door. It’s been possible for years, but now ordering online has never been simpler - and have it arrive within days.

Why Americans think Obesity is worse than cigarette smoking

Not too hard to find this one. A recent Gallup poll refreshed earlier findings on obesity. It shows that since cigarette smoking has been broadly discredited and reduced, obesity (and overweight conditions) has continued to rise.

“Most Americans say obesity is an “extremely” or “very serious” problem to society, the 81% who do so is up significantly from 69% in 2005, the last time Gallup asked this question. Americans now see obesity as a more serious societal issue than cigarettes — a change from the past.”

Of course, you have to thank our way of living in these Western culture nations. Fast food and sedentary lives have replaced home-cooking and high-caloric-throughput of physical labor jobs.

Few of us can now have physically demanding jobs where you actually have to walk a mile or more each day in addition to lifting and really physically working up a sweat during the course of the day. So many have instead started including work-outs in their daily regimen.Others have such a long commute that they are exhausted from simple stress at each day’s end - wanting no more than to sit and watch TV with a beverage of choice at hand.

Diet is another scene entirely. Instead of fast food, we could all be eating healthy home-cooked food made from natural ingredients. But city life demands those long commutes and little access to sources or wholesomely grown food that we can afford.

Those of us who live on farms have this much simpler, since good food and plenty of exercise is built-in to our lifestyles.

This doesn’t mean we can’t get some extra pounds added on.

My own solution to this is to simply steer myself away from unhealthy eating by getting on a shake and supplement diet called the Cinch Inch Loss plan. It’s from Shaklee, which is the leader in natural supplements. Built on studies of athletes, it was found that the amino acid leucine is key to keeping metabolism high by preserving muscle mass.

The trick is that this diet not only has great weight loss shakes (which can involve tons of recipes) but also pays for itself as you quit buying those expensive “latte’s” and fast food “meals” which simply put pounds on. Instead, they have a system of meal and snack bars, as well as teas which are actually less expensive than what you are already paying for. It’s a question of investing in your health instead of cravings for sweets, fats, and salts. You lose no convenience, but actually save time (which your boss will appreciate.)

If you follow the links above, you will be able to get more data on the Cinch Diet Plan which should be useful and help you solve any extra poundage you may want to rid of.

Watch Your Wallet: Meat Prices will just continue to rise.

The trick is in getting wholesale meat online, particularly in local markets such as Fulton, Columbia, or Jefferson City. But the reasons have everything to do with how our markets operate.

Enduring 2 years of drought have proved to be hard on both cattle ranchers and corn farmers. Of course, this has driven up the prices of supplements. Grass fed beef graziers have only had half of this problem. But even they have the problem of requiring closely managed pastures, because the grass they live on - unless properly managed - is under extreme stress and won’t regrow at any speed with lack of moisture and increased heat. 

“This appears to be a long-term spike because we’ve seen a reduction in the mother cow herd in the United States, and with that there’s no calves for next year so we look to see this to go on for a long time,” said Jack Lavers, President, Kern County Cattleman’s Association.

More interesting perhaps, U.S. ranchers are finding it as or even more profitable to export beef to other countries. That gives us another problem with demand for beef locally.

“We’re actually exporting our own meat to countries like South Korea, Mexico and to Russia. So with all that going on we’re playing a little game here trying to make sure the American consumer is getting all the meat they want and it’s driving up the costs,” added Lavers. Beef Industry Officials compare this with a two to three years cycle, which means any relief for customers is seen at the market would be a couple of years out.

All this means that it’s the weather which holds the upper hand for now. Parts of Texas and Oklahoma are now on their third year of this drought; Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska are also seeing extreme conditions ongoing which started last summer.

While some are weaning their calves early in order to save their pastures and cut supplement requirements, this just worsens the problem of beef supply. All of this brings costs to a new higher level.

Richard Vasquez, Meat Department Manager at Wood-dale Meat Market, layed it out recently:

“Ground beef is at about $2.99 and that’s pretty much stayed. It’s your higher end steaks that we’ve seen the high jump in, about $2.00 a pound. One is supply and demand, and the second is the drought in the midwest has a lot to do with it. The supply of cattle, the grain, the corn has a lot to do with it. Everything I’m seeing, at least a 10 percent increase in all proteins.”

For the uninformed, this means there is no end in sight for rising meat prices. My own suggestion, as usual, is to Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food.

As you can access wholesale beef online by networking with your local farmer, you can still take advantage of wholesale meat prices by buying in bulk. And that is a solution which will bring you even cheaper meat, regardless of the economics farmer and markets face. - - - -

And here’s some related blog posts which cover this discussion of getting wholesale meat over the internet:

Cinch Diet Plan gets Results if You Follow Advice

When I finally moved my cattle down to their next pasture - and farther away from the house - I realized that the pounds I regained in the last couple of weeks were due to dropping the mile and 1/3rd which I was walking cross-country every day in checking on them.

For I had my “patient patient” up at the house by now, and so the herd was also there - giving me only a few hundred feet of walking daily, if that.

So, since the calorie intake was not reduced along with the calorie “burning”, extra weight was restored. (Wondered why I wasn’t hungry at night.) And that’s the advice with this Shaklee weight loss program which I didn’t heed.

The rule then becomes - sleep when you’re tired, drink when you’re thirsty, and eat only when you are hungry: but only enough to satisfy, not to satiate. (Pleasantly full, not stuffed.)

And do get some substitute activity if you find yourself temporarily at odd ends.

(Needless to say, I did about 2 miles to check my other pastures, where I could find elderberries this year, and how a remote patch of blackberries was doing…)

One month more of this - and we’ll see how it progresses.

Ups, Downs, and Side-ways - Cinch Diet Plan Results

While I haven’t been logging my posts about weight-loss and inch-loss progress, it’s not like I haven’t had any.

The problem is, as I’ve found, that if you don’t follow the program, you get different results.

My core problem has been getting past 220lbs. However, I’ve done down 3 pants’ sizes. That is more the result I wanted.

The deal is that if you don’t follow the diet choices, then you simply are rolling the dice. Today, I’m back to 230. Now, I started at 244, so I still have a net loss of 14 pounds. (And don’t forget the 3 pants’ sizes.)

The side benefit is that I have considerably more energy available. So I often will skip the afternoon snacks and have found that “dinner like a pauper”. Result is leftover snack bars and meal bars.

And I adjust this now to enter my final month of this diet. Final, because I entered this with the idea that I’d be able to afford the diet if I took their 4-for-3 month’s purchase special. It was simply a test which concludes when the supplements do.

The idea originally was to move over to a more extreme version for the last month. Unfortunately, the only reference I found was to use water instead of milk, and use 3 scoops instead of 2. For that, I’d also drop my morning banana (which was added tomy morning mix to give it more substance). Probably move that banana to evening, or have it at my lunch - or something.

This is where the diet drops off the cliff, as it were. We are beyond what Shaklee recommends. And means anyone using this for extreme weight loss is on their own.

But I did find this article, which seems to be unique: http://www.articlesbase.com/nutrition-articles/a-healthy-diet-4959234.html

Their salient quote is this: 

But I always recommend that you fit Cinch into your life, don’t make your life fit into the Shaklee Diet. Many diets are unrealistic with the rules, the points, the special food to buy with no education on how to cook healthy yourself. Cinch is simple: Drink a protein packed delicious shake for breakfast and lunch ( or just breakfast or Lunch), eat a healthy snack of raw fruits and veggies or a Cinch snack bar when you are hungry and have a  nutritious dinner. Enjoy some Cinch energy tea instead of diet soda and fill in the gaps with powerful nutrients in the Cinch 3-in-1 boost supplements.

Grab and Go, Shake and drink, Move and move and you will see the results. You will enjoy the inches falling away and not miss those lost pounds.

It’s the point, which I found, that you are able to shake these cravings for excessive fats and sugars in your diet. That is the result of the Cinch Diet Plan. Drop fat, improve your metabolism. Make this stuff a part of your life - for real.

That’s the trade-off. And is a consistent point of Shaklee - make their products a part of your life, and improve your quality of living immeasurably. I’ve already gone over the point that the Cinch Diet Plan is affordable simply on dropping out the expensive treats and restaurants and replacing these with a structured diet with their supplements.

Similarly, you can afford to replace your household cleaning compounds by simply shifting over to Basic H and their “Get Clean” product line. They last longer, and are less toxic - plus are designed to be environmentally responsible.

Even with a month left, I already have my “Plan B” in action. The 3-in-1 Cinch daily vitamins are replaced with their Vitalizer set. Cinch is replaced with the less-expensive Soy Protein Vanilla, and as well, the Nutriferon immune booster. It’s called the “Vitalizer Men’s Wellness Pack” This gives me the vitamins and protein I need, as well will then take the immune response booster in order to improve my resistance to infection even higher. You simply can’t beat the quality of Shaklee vitamins. Period. Especially at that price. (Good enough for NASA and all that.)

Practically, what has kept my blogging progress down in this area is that I’ve more energy and have taken on additional projects, which keep me particularly busy. And so you may not hear from me all that much in the coming days - until some of thos projects are completed. (Not to mention earning a living meanwhile…)

What I am happy with is the product of losing the waist sizes and in proving for myself that this Shaklee diet plan works exactly to the degee you follow it just as laid out. Simple. I’ve met no one who has followed it and has been unable to lose weight/inches.

The overall outcome is that now I’m able to simply reduce my input at will, and so able to decrease my weight - all under my own control.

May your results be as effective.

Toxin-Free Pest Control - Home Remedy

Do it yourself - Very economical

Equipment needed:

1. Garden hose
2. Ortho sprayer

Step 1: Mix your concentrate

1. 1½ parts Basic H² (or 3 parts Basic H Classic)
2. 1 part Basic-Germicide

Steps 2: For Outdoor Use:

1. Fill Ortho Sprayer (or similar) with concentrate
2. Set the dial selector at 2 … you will automatically spray a dilute mixture of 2 tablespoons (1 oz.) of concentrate per gallon of water

For Indoor Use:

1. Fill 16 oz. (500 ml) spray unit with water
2. Add ¾ teaspoon of concentrate

Where to Use

• On lawns for control of fleas, ticks, chiggers, and mosquitoes
• On patios & porches for control of flies, spiders & other insects
• On houses as a house wash and pest control combined
• On dog houses, dog beds, and kennel runs
• This mixture is also an effective spray to kill wasps
• Kills lice and fleas, and is effective as a fly spray on animals: cattle, horses, dogs, chickens, turkeys, pigs, cats (do not get in the animal’s eyes)
• Controls bag worms and other insects in cedar, pine, and nut trees, etc.
• Spray as frequently as needed

Most pesticides are guaranteed to work, so why not use them?

The answer is simple … agents toxic to cellular tissue can have devastating effects on the respiratory system, nervous system, and the immune system:

1. Once inside the brain, toxins can alter the ability to concentrate & can lead to nervous system disorders and permanent learning disabilities

2. Toxins overload the immune system & lead to less resistance to colds, flu-like systems, etc.

3. Toxins cause sensitivity of the respiratory system, and lead to proliferation of allergies and asthma

4. Toxins have been linked to liver & kidney damage and many forms of cancer. Recent studies by the National Institute of Health & Safety and the National Cancer Institute, show that leukemia risk increases greatly for children and adults where toxic pesticides are used in the home and garden. A cancer journal reported children under ten, exposed to toxic pesticides in the home or garden at least once a month, have a 7x higher incidence of leukemia.

5. Some toxic pesticides can produce demyelination in nerve bundles and the spinal cord - this can lead to M.S. and paralysis

What are Your Choices?

Are people actually willing to take this risk and contribute to this suffering in order to kill ants, fleas, spiders, moths, and other insects? Certainly, this is sufficient confirmation to persuade every reader of this brochure to never again purchase toxic pesticides.

Basic H² is an all organic, biodegradable wetting agent … actually making water 300 times “wetter” - it reduces water tension and also improves assimilation by chemically enabling water to bond better with anything it touches. It is concentrated and economical. It was developed in cooperation with nature, as are all Shaklee products. When mixed with water, Basic H² delivers an immediate wetting (surfactant) action, penetrating dirt and emulsifying grease and oil. For this reason, it has been used for almost 50 years as a general purpose cleaner.

Basic-Germicide, as its name indicates, is a versatile, non-polluting germicide, which is totally biodegradable and will not hurt the environment.

Does it Work?

Since 90% of insects have an oil coating, Shaklee Basic H², as a wetting agent, penetrates the outer shell and actually suffocates the insects. Insects eggs are softened by the spray, which prevents hatching.

NOTE and disclamer: Officially, Shaklee Corporation markets Basic H² as a Household Cleaner and Basic-Germicide as a Highly Concentrated Germicide. These pest control recommendations are not published or endorsed by Shaklee Corporation, but have been gathered from environmental field experts. A surfactant/germicide combination will accomplish similar results on insects. But can you find a pair which work together and are non-toxic as well as biodegradeable?
