Geraldine and Helmut Lammelin

My husband, Helmut and I are bombarded it seems every day with direct mail newsletters and brochures, touting the latest insurance plans for "old age" folks. We get ads for hearing aids, motorized scooters, eye and dental care, etc. Nowadays, we just toss these into the garbage. Well, we're not going anywhere for a while. We still have many years ahead of us where we can lead strong, healthy lives. We don't plan on needing any of those "old age" remedies! And it's because of Ziquin. After rejuvenating our bodies with the help of Ziquin products, we now have the freedom and good health to enjoy life. Ziquin not only eliminated our pain and premature aging physically, it opened up our lives in a more positive way.

Medication
The purpose of medication is to provide relief. “O.K.,” I thought, “that's fine, but what about rebuilding the body?” Pharmaceuticals won't rebuild the body. They don't "cure" the disease. People don't realize that when they take pharmaceuticals to relieve symptoms, they pay for it later.  That's where Ziquin is different.

Introduction to Ziquin
I had been working with Veronica Metzger (a Ziquin Wellness Coach) regarding energy medicine. She introduced me to Ziquin in February, 2004. Helmut and I had a variety of health issues and I was willing to try something that might help.

Helmut had been having some problems with his health for many years. He loved walking our pet dog, Rockie, a miniature terrier, twice a day. He has a high tolerance for pain and swelling, but it was becoming intolerable. He was concerned that he would be unable to continue his daily walks for much longer.

Helmut is now a young healthy 80 years old and I am a slender, energetic, happy 69. But, we weren't always this young. In fact, we were aging fast with all the maladies, symptoms, aches and pains that accompany aging.

Severe Malnutrition
When he was just 19 years old, Helmut experienced severe malnutrition as a prisoner in a POW camp. All he was given to eat was a pasty soup made with flour and water. In 6 weeks, his weight dropped to 90 lbs., setting the foundation for illnesses and inflammation that led to joint disease in later life. During this time, his legs swelled from the ankles on up. His legs were one size from top to bottom. One of the other prisoners was a doctor and told Helmut that he had edema. This meant that his heart wasn't working efficiently enough to pump off the fluids from his legs. As a result, he developed a heart murmur. The near-starvation-diet created digestive problems as well due to severe deprivation and dysentery, which resulted in painful gas in his digestive tract. The results of being a POW affected his health greatly all his life.

Meeting Helmut in Chicago
In 1954, Helmut moved to Chicago, where I grew up. We met there in 1980 and after a long courtship we fell in love. We later married in Arizona.

I have watched Helmut’s health over the years and though he was often healthy there were multiple times I became very concerned about his health. In 1992 he contracted Valley Fever, a severe internal fungal infection. He became deathly ill and I was concerned he might die.

Another time he had bleeding in his ear and went to see a doctor. He was referred to a specialist who discovered a blood clot. Instead of prescribing medicine or surgery, the physician said, "Let's just let nature take its course and let it heal on its own." Helmut was pleasantly surprised, but agreed.

It was the doctor's turn to be surprised. He said, "Oh, you're European, aren't you? Too many Americans want something to fix it right away."

"I prefer the natural way of healing if possible," said Helmut.
Helmut also had the beginnings of sleep apnea, which is a scary experience. You actually stop breathing for several minutes a night.  Gratefully, after taking Ziquin products, he now sleeps peacefully at night.

When Helmut and I started taking Ziquin together, he was the first to experience an actual improvement. The changes started in his left knee. All the pain and swelling disappeared in just 4 weeks. It seemed like a miracle.
Helmut and I were both amazed.

Retracing & Rejuvenation
After about 4 months of taking Ziquin products, Helmut's left shoulder experienced a "retracing."
Then, this past summer in 2005, Helmut experienced retracing in his right knee, right shoulder and the back of his neck which took several weeks. It was excruciating, but he didn't let this discourage him. He knew it was healing. He continued to experience the reduction of pain and inflammation in other joints too and the pain is now completely gone. Helmut continued taking the Supreme Fusion Collection and increased his EFA Complete (essential fatty acids) intake. He also increased his All Xymatic Relief intake for a time to help get through the retracing. He was also very conscientious about his water intake and was sure to drink extra every day.

He is now so energetic and stays so busy that he forgets to eat sometimes. He used to weight 170 lbs., but now weighs 155 lbs. Helmut believes we all have a natural body weight that is perfect for each of us and he believes 155 is his perfect weight.

We live at a lake and went through Hurricane Rita this year and sustained damage to our property. Helmut has so much strength and energy, he totally rebuilt the bulkhead on the lake.
Before taking Ziquin, Helmut’s pulse was in the high 80s and his blood pressure in the range of 140/90. Now, his heart has improved tremendously, this rejuvenation took about nine months, but now his pulse is in the 60s and his blood pressure is a healthy 126/66. He no longer takes Nitroglycerin, Digitalis, or any of the other medications that the doctor prescribed at one time.
Helmut looks and feels younger than he has been in years. People think he's even younger than I am! He happily walks Rockie every day now and has no joint pain.

My Personal History

As for me, I have a history of a compromised immune system and inflammatory types of problems. My mother says that when I was a month old, after a week in the University of Chicago Hospital, the doctors said that I had an enlarged thyroid gland. I suspect that this was already the beginning of an inflammatory condition. Then, my tonsils were removed. As I matured, I had repeated cystitis and colitis. I also had thrombophlebitis, which was followed by surgical removal of the vein in my left leg at the age of 27 after giving birth to my third child. At just 27 years old, I was already experiencing the early stages of premature aging.

Over the years, I've been anemic and hypoglycemic. I've taken Nystatin for Candida. I've always had numerous food and environmental allergies. Nothing ever really healed the problems.

In my 50s, I worked in an extremely toxic indoor environment. It messed up my head and caused me to make mistakes at work. My kidneys ached and my lungs hurt with a lot of wheezing. My vision was blurred, my ears buzzed, my lips swelled and skin itched terribly. I knew I couldn't continue to work in that building and knew I had to quit that job.

I also had a chronic toe fungus, but now it's gone. I had colitis for many years, but now it's gone! I had Candida, but now it's gone. After taking Ziquin, I am clear-headed and my lungs are free of wheezing.

In short, for forty plus years my life has been plagued by a compromised immune system and allergies and now they are simply gone! Ziquin has made me feel better in so many different ways.

Weight Loss
I was overweight and could not lose weight no matter what I did. I tried the "Jenny Craig Diet," the "Grapefruit Diet," and the "Mayo Clinic Diet." I tried everything, but nothing helped. I was up to 164 lbs. and could not lose the weight. Plus, I had chronic fatigue and took naps all the time. I would sometimes go to bed at 6:00 p.m. for a nap and not wake up until 6:00 a.m. the next morning. After taking Ziquin, I do not take naps anymore. I don't need them!  And Helmut says I'm nicer to him and not as grumpy. I had borderline depression and lethargy before and it's all gone now. My disposition has greatly improved! Thank you, Ziquin!

I used to nibble constantly on food. I was never satisfied and was always eating chocolate, morning rolls, and evening snacks. Since taking Ziquin, I have lost 17 lbs.!  In fact, this weight fell off without me trying. It was easy. It's because my body is properly nourished now and doesn’t need the constant snacks. I used to be hypoglycemic and often would get the "shakes" and have to stop somewhere for an "emergency orange" to help my blood sugar levels. I don't have to do that anymore.

Skin Rashes
A few weeks after I first starting Ziquin, I experienced big rashes and welts on my body. The folks at Ziquin told me to drink more water to help flush out the toxins. In addition, I would put the EFAs directly on the rashes and welts along with taking them internally. I learned that rashes are common exit areas for the body to detox. Soon, this all cleared up.

Flexibility & Aliveness

My fingers are limber and flexible. In fact, I am more flexible. There's no more stiffness when I get out of bed. I have more vitality and enthusiasm than I have had in decades. I have a renewed positive outlook on life. I call it an "aliveness." Sure, I have more energy, but it's more than that. It's a greater vitality of life. Everything is brighter now.

Restoration with Ziquin and Whole "Low Stress" Foods

Since being on Ziquin's broad spectrum nutritional program, along with an improved diet, Helmut and I have both experienced continual "restoration" in our bodies.  We feel better and better every day and have a more positive, uplifting attitude toward life.  Helmut and I also went on the low stress cleansing diet, which focuses on whole foods - greens and vegetables – for a time. We continue to eat healthy foods whenever possible. We don't use microwaves, which alters the foods and we don't eat fast foods. We strive to be more selective of the foods we choose rather than satisfy any cravings or bad habits that we’ve accumulated over the years.

Seniors Should Experience Ziquin
It is my wish for seniors everywhere to experience the same Ziquin revitalization experiences that Helmut and I have. To me, the important thing is to trust in the process; know that replenishment is taking place and allow a space for your body to respond in its own special way and time.

Don't Push the River
I like the analogy, "Don't push the river."  This means that it takes time to rejuvenate and rebuild one's health, so be patient while going through the process.  It's "going with the flow" of life. This rejuvenation process is like the river. Our bodies have their own ebb and flow, its own cycles. Helmut and I are dedicated and committed to rebuilding our health and enriching our lives. Now it’s more than a possibility – it’s a reality, thanks to the revitalization we are experiencing, thanks to Ziquin.

Fear
I think the big thing with people, especially people our age, is fear and lack of knowledge about health and our bodies and what it needs to be vibrant and strong. We are programmed to accept without question what our doctors tell us. We are all bombarded by the current rage of television commercials to “ask your doctor”. We’re to assume that some pharmaceutical is the latest and greatest for one symptom after another. It’s a constant attack of advertisements, TV commercials and the mail. We’re programmed to assume that we need this med or that med. We’re told we need to come in for our hearing tests. We get mail about the latest and greatest runabouts (motorized scooters). We get all kinds of offers to get more, so called, “life insurance.” Now, we have to choose from the many insurance plans being offered for our meds. In addition, we frequently get applications in the mail for long-term insurance – nursing home-type care – where does it end?

It feels like we’re being programmed to be sick. I talk to many people who fear the ravages of old age. To think, it doesn’t have to be that way. That's another reason I think Ziquin is so important. Ziquin is an educational group and their goal is to teach all of us how to put a stop to premature aging and how to reclaim good health for our bodies. That's so important for all of us. In any language, our wish is always, “Here’s to your health!”

Thank You
Thank you is hardly enough to say to Ziquin, but Helmut and I will say it anyway. Here's a special thanks to everyone at Ziquin for allowing us to share our Ziquin Rejuvenation experience.

Whoever said life begins at 40?  Life begins with Ziquin no matter what your age is. Thank you, Ziquin for helping us to regain our health, energy and vitality!
