A Melaleuca Product Story
I just wanted to tell you how thrilled
I am with REPLENEX. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and four ruptured discs in my spine
three years ago at age 36. Despite three surgeries to remove the discs and insert “hardware”,
plus every anti-inflammatory and painkiller known to man, I was still in pain. I ordered the REPLENEX
six weeks ago, and within four days I knew it was working. I have been able to quit taking ALL my pain
medications, even the Celebrex. The only thing I need to take now is REPLENEX and I feel great.
I can actually go out in the yard now and play ball with my kids without pain! Thank you Melaleuca!

Using DIAMOND BRITE DISHWASHER
DETERGENT is amazing! I had been using a name brand for quite some time and it was okay, but water
spots were still showing on my dishes, glasses and silverware. Once I started using the DIAMOND BRITE
the water spots disappeared and my dishes look and feel cleaner. I also use the LEMON BRITE DISHWASHING
DETERGENT when I hand wash my dishes and I have noticed how the grease doesn’t stick to my hands or dishes, especially
the plastic dishes. The LEMON BRITE doesn’t dry out my hands either, like my old soap used
to do.

Product Highlight
MELALEUCA’S
TOOTH POLISHES
Oral care affects more than just the
health of your mouth. A report by the Surgeon General called the mouth, “a mirror of health or disease”,
stating that it is “the center of vital tissues and functions that are critical to total health and well-being across
the life span”. Numerous studies have backed the Surgeon General’s statement, proving that
neglecting the health of your mouth may have dire consequences for the rest of your body.
Bacteria: The Root of the Problem
Plaque. Tarter. Cavities. Periodontal
Disease. These terms are probably familiar to anyone who has visited a dentist, but what’s not commonly
known is they all share a common cause- bacteria, and more often than not a specific type of bacteria known as S. mutans.
S.mutans ferment the sugary foods we eat to produce lactic acid. In the same way that acid rain
corrodes, this bacteria-generated acid can literally dissolve tooth enamel through a process known as demineralization.
What Do Typical Products Do About
the Problem?
Most toothpastes and other oral health
aids use ingredients like fluoride to combat plaque and tartar. While fluoride is effective at strengthening the tooth enamel
and helping it to resist demineralization, it does little to fight the bacteria that cause the problem. Some
toothpaste manufacturers add an antimicrobial ingredient know as triclosan to fight bacteria. While triclosan
is very potent, it takes a shotgun approach to bacteria, killing off beneficial bacteria along with harmful forms.
Fortunately, there is a safe, all-natural way to fight bacteria and maintain a healthy mouth- the MELALEUCA DENTAL
CARE SYSTEM.
Gentle Cleansing and Bacteria Killing
Melaleuca’s tooth polishes take
the natural approach to keeping bacteria in check using a combination of three ingredients with a long history of antimicrobial
uses:
Ø Melaleuca Oil: Long recognized for its powerful, natural
properties, Melaleuca Oil not only boosts the natural cleansing power of each tooth polish, it also helps target harmful bacteria.
In a study conducted in 2003, Melaleuca Oil was tested against 161 isolates of oral bacteria, including S. mutans.
After just 30 seconds, Melaleuca Oil caused a decrease in bacterial viability, and after 5 minutes no viable organisms
were detected.
Ø Propolis: Propolis is a resinous bee product composed of
flavonoids, well-known plant compounds that have antibacterial properties. A study conducted at the University
of Rochester Medical Center found that subjects who used propolis experienced a 61.7% reduction in the concentration of dental
plaque compared to a placebo.
Ø Myrrh: A large shrub that grows in the
Middle East, ancient Greek
and Roman physicians used myrrh extensively to treat wounds because of its excellent antimicrobial properties.
OTHER PARTS TO THE MELALEUCA DENTAL
CARE SYSTEM
Dental Floss- This extra-strong, waxed material glides easily between teeth without fraying. For extra
protection, it’s coated with pure Melaleuca Oil to help interrupt bacteria growth.
Breath-Away Mouth Rinse’s bacteria-fighting formula is charged with T36-C5 melaleuca oil, propolis, and myrrh to
deliver a triple blast of freshness, but is alcohol-free. So it is safe for the whole family.
Hot Shot and Cool Shot Breath Spray- A quick blast of cinnamon or mint instantly refreshes your mouth while Melaleuca Oil,
propolis, and myrrh attack the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Melaleuca- Green From the Inside Out
Other companies talk about being green
because it’s the new thing to do. Melaleuca has been using “green” practices for over
23 years because they have always been committed to conserving the environment. Listed below are just some of the ways Melaleuca
puts what they believe into action.
- Products are concentrated from 2
to 6 times as much as regular strength so less packaging is used.
- They offer refillable bottles.
- They offer value size packages.
- They use recyclable packaging.
- Air pillow packaging saves fuel because
it makes boxes lighter, therefore more boxes can go in a UPS truck.
- Air pillows don’t clutter landfills
like Styrofoam peanuts
- They use recyclable totes instead
of boxes to move the products from their manufacturing plant to the distribution center. They even
use these same totes to get the products from the Idaho Falls manufacturing facilities to their East Coast distribution center in Knoxville, Tennessee.
- When these totes become unusable
they are recycled by a company into plastic sheaths for cables.
- They have skylights in their facilities
to save on energy.
- The lightbulbs they use are energy
efficient.
- Shipping boxes are made with recycled
paper.
- Catalogs are printed on recycled
paper.
Alternative Uses
Use the SUN SHADES SPORT SPF 45
spray sunblock (item #145) as a mosquito repellent. Note: make sure when using the spray sunblock that you let it dry fully
before going into the water so that it does not wash off. Dilluted SOL-U-MEL also works well as
a bug repellent. It can be sprayed on clothing too.
Carry CLEAR DEFENSE HAND SANITIZING
WIPES (item #6821) when you are camping or hiking. If you suspect you have touched poison ivy or poison oak, just use
the CLEAR DEFENSE WIPE on your skin to clean your skin and keep from breaking out.
A Little Reminder
Customizing
Your BackUp Orders- as a preferred customer you have a backup order on file with Melaleuca; it was put there at the time you joined
as a customer. This backup order is a way to keep your preferred customer status, just in case something comes up unexpectedly
in your life and you are unable to order in any given month.
Most new customers start out with
a generic backup order because they don’t have enough knowledge of the products to make a customized one. Now would
be a great time to customize your backup order, since you are more familiar with the products. Pick at
least 35 points worth of products you know you will want (i.e. vitamins, laundry detergent). Then call customer service at
1-800-282-3000 ext. 5 and let them know you would like to customize your back up order. You must call Melaleuca
to do this- you cannot do this online.
We hope you enjoyed this newsletter.
