The Wisdom of a Wellness Lifestyle

Lorraine and Ed Rutherfurd raised their seven children in the picturesque mountain resort paradise of Lake Arrowhead, California. As a stay-at-home mom with two teaching credentials, Lorraine knew that she would need to go back to teaching when her youngest child would start kindergarten. 

Lorraine's dear friend introduced her to an in-home health and wellness business. Interested in keeping her family healthy, her friend told her that all she had to do was change brands from what she was already buying for her family. Lorraine began replacing her current products and put these new ones to the test. It was very important to her that these products would be the best choice for the people she truly cared about, her family. "I started changing brands and liked everything I tried, because everything WORKED!!"  

She began developing a small in-home business and by the time her youngest was ready for school, she was making more money from her part-time Shaklee business than she could make teaching. She was grateful that she never had to go back to the classroom.

"The income and life-style benefits continue to keep me in awe. With my large family, I chose to be a stay-at-home mom, yet I have received well over a million dollars in part-time income from my great Shaklee business.  I love my freedom and life-style."

Lorraine loves sharing her story with others and helping them with their wellness goals for their families and friends.

WHAT IS SHAKLEE?
According to Wikipedia, Shaklee Corporation is an American manufacturer and distributor of natural nutrition supplements, weight-management products, beauty products, and household products. The company is based in Pleasanton, California with global operations in Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan, China and Indonesia. 

Forrest C. Shaklee, a chiropractor and nutritionist, created "Shaklee's Vitalized Minerals" in 1915. In 1956, Shaklee founded the Shaklee Corporation with his two sons to manufacture nutritional supplements. Starting in 1960, Shaklee began marketing organic, biodegradable cleaning products. He continually emphasized "natural" and "environmentally friendly" in his marketing messages.

I have included a 3 minute video explaining the vision of Shaklee.

WHY I'M ENDORSING SHAKLEE
I had the privilege of meeting Lorraine through my sister who was also raising her children in Lake Arrowhead. I myself have used Shaklee products for many years. 

My husband Paul had two children from a previous marriage and after the birth of his second daughter, chose to have a vasectomy. I knew this when I married him; however, as my biological clock was ticking, I began to mourn the fact that I would never be able to have children of my own. My husband and I began seeking out our options, and in 1988 we consulted with a local urologist about the possibility of a vasectomy reversal. The doctor's main question was simple: 

"How long has it been?"

"Sixteen years."

The expression on the doctor's his face made my heart sink. He went on to explain that a successful reversal could only be expected if it was within the first eleven years of the operation. "It would take an act of God!" he replied in a hopeless tone. Hopeless to him perhaps, but these were the exact words that gave us the faith to move forward with our decision. 

I reached out to Lorraine and ordered every Shaklee product that I thought would help. Paul began his regimen a couple months prior to our scheduled surgery date.  We wanted his body in top shape. 

The doctor dressed in his scrubbs, approached Paul on the morning of his surgery who was now lying in his pre-op bed. He explained to us both that he felt badly about taking our money.  He honestly didn't believe that the operation would be successful.  He wanted to make sure that we still wanted to go ahead with the surgery.

Post opp results blew the lab technician (who happened to be a good friend) and the doctor away! Later, there were some fertility hurdles to overcome on my end. I was so excited to share the news with our urologist when we discovered that I was finally pregnant. Our two sons are now in their twenties.  Although we give credit to God for the miracle of our their births, we know that He shows up and opens the way when we have done all that we can. We truly believe that Shaklee played a critical role in the success of our medical journey, even making medical history.

We trust Shaklee products because like our dear friend Lorraine, we know they WORK!
