“OUR MOTHER”
The term, “Mother,” has been appropriately applied to the provider of all things on the
face of this earth, and man owes eternal gratitude to such a supplier − Mother Nature.
“There is little doubt concerning the love each member of the huge Shaklee
family holds for Mother Nature, for you have all recognized that she is our sole
supplier, I do not believe that you will ever forget that fact, but you just might
fail to remember it from day to day.” 2

“There is a story to everything Nature does and
that is now our biggest mystery. We must
remember one thing, she created the value of life
and we must never forget that. That’s why what
we remove from Nature is such an incredible
component of the Shaklee products.”
From Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.

Reflections on a Philosophy
It is important that you recognize not only the beauty of Nature, but what it really means in our
everyday life. We visualize the products of Nature, such as the trees, the flowers, shrubs, all
things natural, but do we realize that Nature is our sole supplier? She gives us everything…..
“For over seventy years, ever since I was a young lad, I have been living a most pleasant and
profitable relationship with Nature,” Mr. Shaklee explains, “and I trust that you, too, will cultivate
such a relationship. You cannot, in any way, alter such a relationship, but you can make it more
realistic by so arranging your thought patterns to bring yourself into closer harmony with
Nature… Your future will be exactly what you decide to make it.”

The incredible component to understanding the
“Shaklee Difference”
The Laws of Nature have contributed to the quality of the Shaklee products.
These laws have determined the quality of the Shaklee products.
These laws depend on man not changing them to suite his ambitions of financial success.
The soil is where all life begins and the connection of man to Nature. Everything in Nature is recycled
so it’s so important to keep all living things in the soil.
Every cell in your body is designed to connect with nature and the raw materials that Nature puts into the
plant that the cell will identify and allow into the cell the intelligence of the cell is it’s Life Force.
The plant has the ability to put the “Life Force” into the seeds – but the ingredients must be in the soil to
complete the process.
Now the cells in your body have the intelligence to select the ingredients from the blood that it
needs to live. It can’t make these ingredients. Only the cells know what the body needs to rebuild.
Most of what Nature does is still a mystery. There are still many things in Nature we do not understand,
but we can’t ignore the facts. Man can’t improve on Nature – Because man is a product of Nature.
Lying in Nature are many ingredients that will prevent every disease on earth. Shaklee is looking
to find those ingredients and transfer them to a form that can make a difference in your health.
The quality of the Shaklee products reflect that Nature is in the sole supplier of everything that
rebuilds our health.

VEGETABLE CELLS HAVE LIFE…
The creative intelligence is expressed in the vegetable cell fully as much as in the animal cell. Animals are not the
only living things on this earth. The intelligence of man has never been able to produce the most simple vegetable
life, either. Nor has he been able to produce the most simple vegetable structure in the laboratory. He can copy the
shape and form, but he cannot give it life.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF HUMAN NUTRITION?
The primary source is the vegetable. Of course, man may eat the flesh of animals, but all animal bodies must
depend upon the vegetable to manufacture the nutritional values necessary to sustain animal life.
ISN’T THE SOIL THE SOURCE OF ALL NUTRITIONAL SUBSTANCES?
Animal and vegetable life are both dependent upon the soil, but the elements contained in the soil cannot be
utilized by the animal, directly. They must first pass through vegetable metabolism. And, strange as it may seem,
the vegetable cannot subsist on the soil, alone, either. Its nutritional values must first pass through animal
metabolism. Nature has set up the two cycles, each complimenting the other.
WHY IS ANIMAL METABOLISM NECESSARY FOR VEGETABLE GROWTH?
Explaining why Nature has rules it so is a little beyond the intelligence of man. However, how Nature PROCEEDS
with her plan is well known.
It is easy to ascertain that there is abundant bacterial life in normal soil. This animal life devours all organic
substances that find their way to the surface area. For instance, the vegetable cycle… The plan, if not harvested, falls
to the earth and the rains or moisture from other sources soften its structure. Whether the vegetation is plowed
under or left on the surface, Nature provides the animals to devour it – bacteria, for instance, and even the lowly
angleworm. After passing through this animal metabolism, the substance is ready to be absorbed by and nourishes
a new plant.
This cycle is a must for healthy vegetable life. The element of soil bacteria is one of the most important phases of
organic nutrition. 6

CAN I ALWAYS DEPEND UPON AN INTELLIGENT EXPRESSION BY MY LIFE-FORCE?
You most certainly can, IF there is no external interference. But civilization, itself, has place a fantastic burden
upon the physical structure of man, and this often does interfere with the normal expression of your Life Force.
Poisonous fume from factories, automobiles, etc., have contaminated the air we breathe.
Chemical fertilizers have altered the nature of the soil in which our food is grown.
Refining, processing, chemicalization, storage, and overcooking have altered the protein, fat, vitamin, and
mineral values in our foods. All of this makes it nearly impossible for your Life Force to gain free expression,
and the resultant changes in body chemistry manifest themselves in a thousand ways, all of which are
symptoms of “dis-ease”.
WHAT ARE THE VITAMIN VALUES IN OUR FOOD?
I can name only a few, for Nature still keeps much knowledge about other values locked in her secret vault.
There are, however, a number which man has understood. Unfortunately, medical science has rendered a great
dis-service to mankind by recognizing as essential only those which chemists can produce synthetically in a
laboratory. If it can’t be produced synthetically, it simply isn’t recognized as essential.
Let me put the “important” vitamin question to you this way – only 60 or so years ago, man didn’t consider ANY
vitamins to be of importance. (In 1947, vitamin B12 was not considered of any importance) Do we now claim to
know everything there is to know about them?

UNDERSTANDING OF THE
ENZYMIC ACTIVITY
The enzyme is a delicate substance found in every living cell, whether it be animal or vegetable.
Destroy the enzyme of a seed, and it will not sprout and grow. No new cells can be produced without
the enzyme.
In fact, THERE IS NOT A LIVING CELL IN THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT AN ENZYME.
Enzymes are absolutely essential to life, and Nature put the protein enzymes in our food for a
purpose. This purpose is easily recognized, but few people realize how easily they are destroyed by
heat.
Again quoting Dr. Sherman: “Thus there is now abundant reason to accept the conclusion that
the best-studied enzymes of the digestive tract are of protein or of protein-like nature, and
that food protein furnishes amino acids to serve as material for body enzymes as well as body
tissue in the more familiar sense.”
If the activity of the enzyme is dependent upon keeping the protein intact, as Dr. Sherman so clearly
states, what chance have enzymes of avoiding destruction through the methods used in food
refining, heat-processing and cooking? Obviously, none. They cannot withstand the high
temperatures of such processes. Through the wide-spread use of such destructive methods, we
alter the amino acids – the Building Blocks of Nature – and we lose the enzymic activity so
necessary in the process of distention and in every other life process in the body.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN PROTEIN?
THE ENZYME
Unfortunately for health reasons, the average American’s diet is one which appeals to the taste, rather than to
the needed supply of natural, unaltered protein. Cooking, processing and refining may improve the taste for
some people, but the end result can be (and usually is!) nutritionally detrimental. This fact is confirmed by Dr.
Sherman of Columbia University, one of our country’s greatest nutritional authorities.
As Dr. Sherman states in his book, Chemistry of Food and Nutrition: “And the enzyme activity has
repeatedly been found to depend upon keeping the protein intact, activity being lost when the
enzyme solution is subjected to treatment which coagulates, hydrolyzes, or otherwise induces
chemical changes in the protein matter.”
Here, from this noted authority, we have confirmation of the basic reason why our foods should not be
altered by processing, refining, chemicalization or over-cooking…. Once they have been altered to the
point which “coagulates, hydrolyzes, or otherwise induces chemical change in the protein matter”, the
enzyme activity is lost!
We get the full impact of such a statement when we realize that the enzyme activity is completely destroyed
at a temperature of about 130 degrees, which is far below the boiling point. How much pure, unaltered,
raw protein do you eat each day. THIS IS VITAL! You must remember that your protein food is dependent
upon “hydrolysis by ENZYMES to yield amino acids, which in animal metabolism are required for life
processes”. (Emphasis is ours.)
Why should you destroy the enzymes in all of your food, when you have PROOF that they are required
for all life processes? Your life depends upon enzyme activity!

Dr. Shaklee created a combination of nine
herbs that had detoxifying and healing
benefits that he had learned from his
mother as a child.
Besides nutrients, he knew he needed
support from nature to promote blood,
liver, lymph, bowel, and cellular cleansing
to overcome the damaging impact of the
radiation poisoning.
This was the origin of Shaklee Herb-Lax …
one of Shaklee’s most popular products
still today.
