First, let me thank Karen, Mother Earth, for asking me to be a guest author on her blog.

I can't tell you when I first started reading Best of Mother Earth during the past year. I subscribed because I like her "Mother Earth" groundedness and honesty. I enjoy Karen's recipes and stories about her life. I enjoy reading about how to be more green and how to help the planet. From reading Karen's articles on going green, I am making small changes in my own life such as greener cleaning products that are better for the environment and for me.

Sometime over the past few months, I found out that Karen is a Shaklee distributor and more recently I found out that she is a Best Wellness Consultant with Shaklee.  After I signed up with Shaklee to buy directly from them just for my own personal use, Karen offered to give me a free consultation.

Through emails, Karen and I exchanged phone numbers. I called Karen and the consultation lasted about 1 1/2 hours. (I talk a lot.) Karen asked me questions about my health (I have a blood sugar disorder which the doctor calls diabetes, high blood pressure, migraines, and sinus infections and headaches.) and any medications and nutrients that I was already taking.

I have been, over the past ten years, leaning more toward alternative and natural remedies for my health because I am so allergic to antibiotics. The pharmacist recently told my husband that all of the antibiotics on the market today are made from at least one of the six medicines that I am allergic to.

Karen gathered the information together that I gave her and later sent me an email of a plan of suggestions for me to implement to become healthier. She gave me suggestions to reduce high blood pressure, to assist and rebuild digestion, to reduce inflammation naturally, and to support nerve function and brain health.

Karen gave me a list of nutrients that are depleted by stress, a list of nutrients that benefit the sinuses, a list of nutrients that benefit hormones (I am post menopausal.) Then she gave me a list of what she considered the most crucial nutrients that she felt I needed to start out with. My doctor has never taken the time to do any of this. I was truly impressed with Karen's caring and knowledge.

She is a wonderful wellness consultant.

I was already impressed with the Shaklee business. I fully intend to implement the suggestions that Karen wrote out for me. Karen has hooked me as a Shaklee customer and as a friend. Thanks Karen.
