Poison Control told us the BEST thing on the label was SHAKLEE

The following story is shared by Ann Cristie:

“I’m writing to share my story so that the many homes in North America can be safer for our precious children. As a mother of 3 active children (6, 4 and 10 months) I have used Shaklee for its economy, strength and safety. But on Friday evening, I was thankful I used Shaklee for another reason... my 10-month old
daughter, Jordan, ate the Scour Off Heavy Duty Paste Cleanser! I was out of the house and dad was keeping an eye on the children. Jordan found the jar and stuck those fat little fingers in the pink stuff and yummy, yummy for about 2 minutes. She then threw up and began to cry. I walked into the house as this chaotic event was occurring.

My first thought was to panic and get help NOW! We called poison control and informed them of our misadventure. The FIRST thing the kind woman said was this ...

“Well, the best thing on the label is Shaklee."

You won’t have any major problems. The agents in their products are safe. She went on to explain the nature of the cleaners and what symptoms we mightexpect. “A little stomach distress, some vomiting, some gas, etc. BUT, no hospital, no burning of the esophagus, no stomach lining problems, no lung stress, no mouth irritation.” I didn’t realize what we had averted until I spoke about this at a Shaklee meeting on Monday. Then it hit me; anything else could have killed or seriously injured her! I will tell this happy ending to anyone who will listen. I encourage you to share my story with your friends to get our safe products into their homes!"

Simple way to Get Gum out of Fabric

To show how our products are SAFE FOR CHILDREN.

I use well chewed bubble gum- smash it into my shirt.
Show them it's really in the fabric.
Place a few drops of Basic-H on the gum "rub around" show them gum is still stuck
Add water and rub a little "pick gum away from fabric" then put gum back into your mouth and begin chewing. THIS ONE GETS THEM EVERYTIME!!

Tell them the ingredients that make this product work so well comes from corn and cocoa nuts... safe for us and safe for the environment. Just don't put in your eyes.

Goin Green in 2009

Twas the Season to consume. More than any time of year, we use and consume massive amounts of disposable items, from party supplies to wrapping paper, to buying the take-out meal for the family on the way home from the mall over the holidays. It's the time to party and celebrate, but now it’s also a time for making resolutions for the future. And in tough economic times, it’s a great time to look for ways we can consume less and save the environment at the same time.

Pick a green resolution to focus on in the New Year. Here is a quick list of a some small changes to get you thinking.


1. Change your trip to the coffee bar by bringing your own mug or using an in-house mug. If you make 3-4 trips to the coffee shop a week, you’re saving 200 cups and lids a year. It’s a small change that makes a difference (I hear Starbucks gives a nice little discount for bringing your own mug!).

2. Refuse to use the disposable cups, bowls and utensils at your business. Buy a cheap set of dishes at the grocery store and use em again and again instead of the paper plates, cups and utensils you may have been using. You’ll save your company money in the process.

3. Cut down on drives around town. Buy a bike if you live in a bike-friendly community and refuse to drive anywhere that is closer than 2 or 3 miles. It’s a fact... a bike ride within short distances is generly as fast as driving your car.

4. Turn off your lights when you’re not in the room, unplug appliances and electronics that aren’t in use. Nearly half the nation’s CO2 emissions come from the energy we consume at home and work (via our power plant system), so wasting less unnecessary electricity at home is a tiny change that can have a massive effect.

Thanks again for reading. We hope you’ve enjoy our green tips and that 2009 is your greenest year ever.

Why We Should Avoid Chlorine Bleach

Most people use a wide variety of cleaning
products, many of which contain toxic chemicals.

Chlorine bleach is potentially carcinogenic and
can damage the respiratory system.

Among its by-products are chlorinated hydrocarbons,
chloroform and trihalo-methanes, all of which
act like weak estrogens and cause breast cells
to divide more rapidly.

These by-products have been shown to cause
breast tumors in animals.
