With
each agonizing movement of my neck, I would stop whatever I was
doing and lay down with a hot pack. My pain was so debilitating
and chronic, I often wouldn't get anything accomplished the rest
of the day. As most people today, I live a very stressful, busy
life and not being able to be productive during the day or evening
because of neck pain was very frustrating for me.
What had happened to the young, vivacious California woman who could
dance all night? The one who lit up the floor with stylish western
wear and cowboy boots while dancing the West Coast Swing? What had
happened to my energy and zest for living?
Now, in my early 50s, not only did I have neck pain, but I also
had hot flashes from peri-menopause, chronic hip pain, chronic fatigue
and repetitive stress injury in my hands and wrists. In addition,
I had a cyst develop on the right side of my knee which was probably
from a break in the fibula when an office cabinet fell on me. I
didn't see a physician at the time, but later, my leg developed
a golf ball size cyst. When it became annoying, I had it removed
surgically. However, several months later, the cyst reappeared.
As for energy, I was always so tired I had to take Ephedra to stay
awake at work and had to sleep 8-10 hours a night to feel halfway
rested. Was this old age? Was this something I was going to have
to live with for the rest of my life? I didn't want to surrender
to being "old." I was too young to be "old."
In
my youth, I had been a sun-worshipper and had even been diagnosed
with malignant melanoma when I was 39. Some of the other ravages
of too much sun are the development of skin tags - harmless, needless
to say, but not aesthetically appealing. I had plenty of them on
my chest.
I knew that my severe neck pain was probably the result of a car
accident I had when I was 19 years old. After 20+ years, doctors
told me that my neck had lost the smooth "S" curve and
that it was very inflamed and swollen. It was so severe that I was
no longer able to go out dancing or do many of the activities that
I enjoyed.
My hip pain was probably due to the onset of peri-menopause. It
was so bad that I often joked to a friend that I would probably
be one of those elderly women sitting in a wheelchair someday and/or
going into the hospital for a hip replacement.
I've typed all my life and worked long hours in an office environment.
My hands were giving out and I experienced the pains of repetitive
stress injury in both of my hands. My chiropractor treated me for
the injuries, but I got very little relief. Once when the pain became
so severe, I had to stick my hands in a bucket of ice water on and
off the whole day.
Then, it was as if a miracle happened. I was introduced to Ziquin
by a long-time friend. Because I had tried every nutrient and vitamin
on the market and often with little success, I was skeptical about
these products. But, because of my fatigue and chronic pain in my
neck, hip and hands, I knew I didn't have anything to lose. At first,
I haphazardly took the products. (There are specific times for taking
each one that is supposed to be the best because of the delivery
experience and the way the body absorbs the nutrients). However,
I began noticing amazing results right away. I thought, If I'm getting
such good results from taking them haphazardly, what would happen
if I took them at the times recommended?
So, I began taking the products as recommended. I took the Mind
& Body Tonic upon rising and in an hour, ate a breakfast of
a fruit smoothie, apple and almonds. Then, in another hour or two,
I took a tablespoon of the EFA Complete, (the fatty acids). For
lunch, I ate a spinach salad with oil and vinegar. Then, 2 hours
later, I took the Energy Endo Biotics. After dinner, I took a teaspoon
of the minerals - the Ziquin Glycemic Super Fit, and before bedtime,
I took the All Xymatic Relief.
I
have been repeating this sequence and it has now been a little over
2 months that I have started on the Ziquin products. I've experienced
numerous and significant positive changes in my health and well
being and the most amazing thing has happened. I no longer have
any neck pain! Plus, all the typical hot flashes, night sweats,
sleeplessness, and moodiness associated with peri-menopause have
disappeared.
As
for my chronic hip pain, it has improved greatly and isn't nearly
as severe or frequent. Gratefully, I've been able to eliminate the
need for my large consumption of Ibuprofen. I'm confident that soon,
the hip pain will be gone altogether.
Plus, I have so much more energy that I now only need about 5-6
hours of sleep instead of the 8-10 before I began taking the Ziquin
products. And I no longer need ephedra or some stimulant to stay
awake in the afternoon.
As for that huge cyst that I was planning on having surgically removed
again, it is gone! Totally disappeared! And, most of my skin tags
have disappeared, too. My skin feels so much smoother and looks
so much nicer and younger.
One of the most wonderful benefits that has happened as a result
of taking the Ziquin products is that I have started dancing again.
In fact, I danced for 3 hours at a club the other night - something
I haven't done in years! Being able to dance has added pure joy
in my life. Dancing has been a great way to reduce the stress and
to add fun into my life and I know this is only the beginning….
I am so enthusiastic about these Ziquin products. I can't say enough
good things about them. Never before have I experienced anything
that worked so profoundly the way these are working now. I am so
grateful to Dr. Yu and Dr. Chris Morris and the whole Ziquin team
for creating these products and for introducing me to Ziquin's preventive
healthcare strategies. A person cannot put a price on good health
and energy. It's priceless. I never miss taking the products because
I know, first-hand, what miracles of health are packed in those
5 bottles. I get up every day with the thought that this is another
day with an opportunity to become healthier and I look forward to
a long future of taking these wonderful, life-changing and life-enhancing
nutrients.
So, don't be surprised if you see me skateboarding down the sidewalk
in your neighborhood or out dancing under the moonlight at a West
Coast Swing contest. With all this energy and zest, my life is only
getting better - NOT older!
