Are your vitamins "AS IS" or do they come with a Guarantee?

Are your vitamin supplements purchased AS IS or do they come with a 100% Money back guarantee?

My first opportunity to purchase my OWN car came in college.  A friend of mine went to help and insisted that I buy the white '89 Taurus SHO that was on the used car lot. "It's a GREAT deal" he said! "These cars are AWESOME" he also said.  So, I bought it, AS IS.  A month later it started developing signs of vapor lock. I'd be cruising down the highway or interstate and it would lock up and shut off.  I'd be stranded on the side of the road for half an hour or so while it would cool off and then it would run again.  I hated that car - it caused many a headache.

A couple of years later I bought my first NEW car (truck). It came with a warranty and any time anything went wrong I would take it in and the dealership would fix it. I much preferred the vehicle with the warranty.  They offered that warranty because they had faith in the product and that things would work for that designated time period.

How about your vitamin?  Does it come with a 100% money back guarantee? Can you return it for a full refund if it doesn't do what it should or you don't like it? Do you know how to evaluate and choose a bad vs good vs GREAT supplement?

There have been many stories and studies over the years revealing that some companies who sell vitamins at a very low cost have actually been for not. Findings have ranged from lead contamination of supplements to nutrient levels being far from what was claimed.

Your brand can make a difference. A recent study by the University of Berkeley, California called "The Landmark Study" showed significant differences in prevalence of disease when comparing non-users, users of  differing brands, and users of multiple supplements from Shaklee Corporation.

What's under your paint? Is Improper Nutrition Showing Thru?

Sad Blazer Hood needs repainted AGAIN
 My hubby's first attempt at automotive painting looked GREAT when he brought it home, however recently it has shown us the foundation was not properly prepared!

As a young adult, many of us abused our bodies and didn't care for them as we should. Nutrition wasn't a concern at that point.  Now that we are beginning to show a little age, the paint is beginning to peel away from weather changes & an improper foundation. (diet/nutrition)

Had the proper conditions been met, our dear mud vehicle would still look pretty & teal. Just like this beautiful Mustang being cared for - beautiful paint job & protection from the elements.

As far as our own bodies and paint jobs, is it too late to undo the damage we've already done?  The lack of proper nutrition or abuse that is the underlying factor of our current conditions.

Here are a few scientific facts that let us know its not too late.

  • You build a trillion cells a day by what you eat.
  • It takes 19 vitamins & minerals, and 9 amino acids with a perfect protein to build a perfect cell.
  • Even if you miss one (1) nutrient, then you are building imperfect cells for 7 days.
  • These defective cells will promote the development of degenerative diseases.
  • YOU are the only one who can do something about it!
Thank you, 'Uncle Walt' Haste for keepin an eye out for us!



If you are ready to do something about it,
we would like to work with you!

When things don't go as planned.

We all know things don't always go as planned. We've crossed all the t's, dotted all the i's and yet, when we get to the track something goes wrong. Tonight, our neighbor is rebuilding his engine at the track and without a team.

Our bodies are the same, even though we are careful to follow the guidelines, its difficult to get those 7-9 servings of produce every day on our tight schedules. When our bodies don't receive the proper nutrition on a regular basis, then things begin to go wrong.  It may appear that we are ready for the race, until we pull up to stage and something fails.


I'd like to look at this scenario for the next few weeks.

Next week I will cover the Daily Driver Checklist.
