We joined Shaklee in 1981 to save money on our products. We had 6 children (two of them adopted from Nicaragua) with many "normal" health problems. I had a history of breast cancer for two generations on my mother's side, and was beginning to have symptoms that worried me. After seeing the difference Shaklee made in my health, I wanted it for my children also. After a visit with my sponsor in Shaklee, she assured me that all of those products could be purchased for FREE! Wow FREE is pretty good.
