Quantum Healing
In his book Quantum Healing, Deepak Chopra asks an interesting question: Why, when your body mends a broken arm, is it not considered a miracle, but when your body rids itself of cancer, it is? Chopra believes the two phenomena spring from the same well, that the body is capable of doing much more than we assume it can. He calls this ability to cure disease from within "quantum healing" and shows how we're all capable of it . Intelligence exists everywhere in our bodies, in each of our 50 trillion cells, and each cell knows how to heal itself. This follows Ziquin’s concept of us as biodynamic beings. I believe that, with the help of the Ziquin, I have experienced this quantum healing on the mind, body and cellular levels.
For over one year now, I have been on Ziquin products and wellness rejuvenation strategies. As a result of changes in my body, I have had to adjust my whole paradigm of what aging is. I am breaking through all the old programming from society, the media and the medical establishment of what growing old means. My body -- as it's experiencing quantum healing -- is demanding new, less limiting thought forms and undergoing a true mind-body-spirit transformation. Here is my story.
Sick From Birth
I was already very sick when I was born into this world almost 65 years ago. When she gave birth to me, my mother had a kidney disease and so already I was not a healthy newborn. The doctors said that I contracted infant diarrhea while still in the hospital as a newborn. I was actually given a 50-50 chance of survival, and wouldn't live long if I couldn't keep food in my system. Finally, they put me on goat's milk and I survived. However, this was a clue that digestion was going to be a problem for me all my life. My system was delicate and already compromised, and later on I was also diagnosed with nerve damage at the base of my spine. Chronic constipation and bladder infections were a part of my experience from early on.
As I grew up , I thought I could overcome most of my health problems by being very athletic. I excelled in tennis and even played on the Tennis Tournament circuit. I became a Physical Education teacher and worked with students on developing their athletic abilities. However, I was always stiff. My joints were very stiff from joint inflammation. Otherwise, I felt healthy in so far as being physically active – I rarely suffered from colds or viruses.
Stiffness and Inflammation
When I turned 30 years old, I began to notice what felt like arthritic symptoms – for example, unusually prolonged stiffness and achiness after some physical activities. I realized that I had to change something in my life. I went to see an iridologist who gave me vitamins to supplement my diet. At that time, I stopped eating red meat.
In my forties, I began to experience a few more dramatic symptoms. First, I began suffering migraines which kept me down for days at a time. I had experienced a spinal injury when I was younger, and this seemed to exacerbate my arthritic condition. Most dramatically, however, were the excruciating back-of-the-head/neck headaches. The back of my neck would tighten up and as a result of inflammation, the pain was nearly debilitating. To numb the pain and decrease the inflammation, I began to take Advil. I also went regularly to chiropractors who adjusted my neck. But the adjustments wouldn't hold and the headaches always followed. Over the next twenty years, I became a chronic Advil user to help manage the pain in my neck. All of this was simply "pain management,” however, because the Advil never healed anything.
Coming off of the Advil
In my fifties, I had come to a “plateau” with the pain management of my arthritic condition. Though the Advil helped as a band-aid pain fix, it also created a dull and almost “drugged out” experience of life. So when I turned 60, I decided again that I needed to re-address my health condition and management approach, as other symptoms surfaced. I had begun to experience severe aching in my legs. If I had to sit for long periods of time, the pain in my legs would take hours to subside, if at all. I had a sense that it was connected to poor circulation, so I began to experiment with different tinctures from the health food store, but to no avail. Then,I went to see an Ayurvedic physician who said I was predisposed to osteoperosis, and he put me on an herbal program. To tell you the truth, I was disappointed and didn't notice much difference. I also felt that the program was somehow incomplete, because it didn’t include any basic nutritional supplementation.
Introduction to Ziquin
Then, some friends introduced me to Ziquin. In the beginning of my Ziquin program, I began experimenting with the All Xymatic relief caplets to manage my neck headaches. Whenever I would feel one of my excruciating neck headaches coming on, I took six tablets. A little later, I would take five more. That eliminated most of those headaches. I seldom get them now. Over time with the Ziquin products working in my body, the pain in my legs has lessened dramatically. I still have the aches from time to time, but not nearly as frequently.
When I first began on Ziquin, I lost 7 lbs. right away without changing my foods. I am 5'4" tall and within the first four months, I had gone from a size 10 to a size 6. For years, I have maintained a healthy diet, but on Ziquin I assimilate and digest foods better, making my body mass more lean and food intake more efficient. My normal size while in college had been 120 lbs. and a size 8. I now weight 125 lbs and as stated, I am a size 6. My blood pressure is 110/70. I also noticed that the liver spots on my face have almost all faded away.
I used to have a little wrinkling on my chest from being out in the sun so much when I was younger. So in addition to taking the EFA Complete internally, I apply the oil like a lotion on my face and chest every day. I’ve noticed the lines on my face have plumped up a bit and the wrinkles on my chest have disappeared. My skin has never looked better!
Retracing - Letting Go of the Fear of Pain
I had experienced a lot of pain from the arthritis - so much so that I began to fear pain as an entity itself. I'd have to say my worst enemy was fear of the pain. Most recently, I have noticed a new pain-sensation in my shoulders. I have thought to myself, What is this? It feels dull and almost like those neck headaches I had experienced for so long! This time, however, the sensation just remained for five days, neither getting worse nor better. I realized that it was another form of retracing. I believe that the Advil is eliminating from my body, and that my shoulders are now awakening after being "dulled" for so long. This time, I do not have to fear the pain! I have made the mind-body connection.
You create your own life with your thoughts. Most of my thoughts had been about avoiding pain. I woke up to the fact that I have been living life based on this deep mindset. So this recent retracing experience has given me the opportunity to truly let go of my fear of pain, because I have realized that this part of my body is just coming alive. My body is saying, "Hey! I'm back!" With this realization, I have truly understood that the body has its own intelligence, and that all I have to do, is get out of the way. And incidentally, the pain in my shoulders has totally disappeared!
Renewed Zest for Life
After being on the Ziquin products for 16 months now, I am experiencing what the “mind-body connection” truly means. With my body fully supported nutritionally, I am finally letting go of that old fear of pain. I am willing to consider again more exciting, risk-taking choices for my life. I haven't experienced those types of feelings in a long, long time. In college, I was always willing to take risks, but as the years passed, I became more cautious as I had to deal with my pain. It simply kept me from doing things I wanted to do.
I am living my life more fully and in a more balanced state of awareness. I am getting back into things that have been on the back burner. I have a renewed zest for actualizing the dreams that have been sitting around for years. I now exercise more and work out with weights. (Before Ziquin, I was afraid to work out with weights - afraid that I would have those neck headaches.) I swim, take ballroom dance, and have a more extensive walking program. I am excited about physical activity in my life again, like when I was an athlete. I also have more prolonged periods of energy, and therefore more production time. I used to “shut down” at around 6 p.m. -- plop down to T.V. & dinner. Now, I work on my business at night.
Shift to a New Paradigm
It seems to me, that when you turn 60, there’s another mindset that becomes prevalent all around. They say, “You’d better plan for long-term care, because you’re going to be sick, in pain, and in need of drugs for assistance.” Once on a pap smear visit, the physician said that I was simply "drying up" because of my age. I left his office both devastated and alarmed. I have no intention of being segmented into the "senior citizen" category. I never bought into that message – which is why I kept searching, and eventually came to find Ziquin. My body, which is now fully supported from the Ziquin nutrients, has helped my mind shift its thinking to a new paradigm of healing. The healing is taking place on multiple layers - not just one physical layer. This goes back to the quantum healing concept, which I believe I am now currently undergoing. Between what I eat, my mental thoughts, my physical activity, and the Ziquin approach, I know that I am truly in charge of my own progression of health. Finally, after living a life legacy of pain and pain management, and searching and trying various holistic health approaches, it is Ziquin that is providing a true "quantum healing" opportunity for me and my body.
