Wellness Achiever,
Elaine Schenk


It had been a year and a half since I had a driver's license because of macular degeneration. I had the dry kind - the kind that leads to blindness with no cure. I was a mess as far as health goes. My large intestine was distended and uncomfortable and the muscles in my neck were so tight, I could barely move my head from side-to-side. In addition, I was manic depressive and on the verge of suicide. Secluded in my home, I spent every day and night pondering whether I should live or not. Plus, as my depression worsened and I began to forget things, I worried that I was getting Alzheimer’s.

I had no interest in seeing friends or family and had no will to live. I stopped doing Yoga and no longer tended my flowers or vegetable garden. What had once been a thriving beautiful garden was now just weeds and debris. I just didn't care. The world was not a friendly place and all I wanted to do was die.
I wasn't always sick, but it seems as though my life definitely has been a journey of healing. 25 years ago I was a Counselor and teacher at a vocational school in northern Kentucky. One day I picked up a magazine and read an article about herbs. I think this article changed my life because it opened my mind to other modes of healing besides allopathic medicine.

Because of my passionate interest in herbs, I got my Master's Degree in Herbology. At this time I began to get headaches and have extreme fatigue. I saw an Iridologist who told me I had mercury poisoning in my body from the numerous amalgams in my teeth.

I had the amalgams removed and then spent 2 years healing through a variety of modalities including acupuncture, minerals, herbs and a raw foods diet. I spent $1,000 a month on homeopathic and alternative remedies to heal my body. My alternative/holistic physician told me that I needed to get out of the northern Kentucky - Cincinnati area because there was a high rate of cancer in that region, so I moved to the Cherokee National Park area between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. There I lived in a very natural, beautiful, eco-friendly environment and raised my own organic foods for 2 years. Then, I moved to Washington State to continue my studies in alternative medicine.

Then, the depression started. In fact, for the past 10 years, I have been manic depressive. It became so bad that I decided to check myself into a Psychiatric Ward at a hospital where they prescribed Zoloft and other forms of anti-depressants. It was at this time that I also developed macular degeneration - the dry kind that leads to blindness. I tried a variety of modalities including magnetic therapy on my eyes, but nothing really helped.

My whole body seemed to be in rebellion and I needed regular chiropractic adjustments to relieve the sciatic nerve.

All the while, I had a foggy feeling in my brain, which made it difficult to concentrate and remember anything. I was on anti-depressants and thyroid medication, but, still, I wasn't better. The depression, fogginess and pain were so intense; I honestly didn't want to live. Finally, I asked my doctor to either let me die or send me a cure.

I believe that I was sent a cure. One day a friend of mine, Donna Love, told me about Chris Morris and Dr. Yu, two of the founders of the Ziquin Educational Company. I listened to Dr. Yu speak on a Thursday night conference telephone call and was impressed with everything he had to say about Ziquin's unique formulations and "delivery experience." I decided to give the products a try. After all, I knew I didn't have anything to lose. I was at rock bottom mentally, emotionally, and physically.

After the first few days on the Mind and Body Collection (Mind & Body Tonic, Energy Endo Biotics, EFA Complete, and All Xymatic Relief), I noticed that my mind was clearer. It was as if a film had lifted from my brain and my concentration and memory were greatly improved. In the first 30 days, I noticed the balancing of my manic depression and the clearing of double vision from macular degeneration. I couldn't believe it. This was impossible! But, it happened.

After a while, it seemed that the improvements in my health reached a plateau. I became a little impatient, but Dr. Morris told me to be patient - that sometimes it may take 6 months or more to see the effects. He also recommended that I include the Neptune’s Nanomeds (minerals) in my protocol. After I did this, I began to notice even more improvements in all areas of my body.

I visited my doctor and he was amazed at how much my large intestine had diminished in size and at how bright and healthy I appeared. And, more recently, the muscles in my neck relaxed and aren't nearly as tight. I simply massage some of the EFA Complete into my neck and it relieves the stiffness. Also, I no longer need regular chiropractic adjustments to relieve the excruciating pain of my sciatic nerve. The pain is gone!
I take the Mind & Body Tonic the first thing when I wake up in the morning. After an hour, I take 3 Energy Endo Biotic tablets. Then, after another hour, I eat breakfast. Two hours after breakfast, I take the EFA Complete and then around 4:00 p.m., I take the All Xymatic Relief tablets. Then, after dinner, I take one teaspoon of minerals with juice.

I have no doubt that Ziquin's products saved my life. I was headed downward in a dark spiral that was leading to suicide. My body was becoming more consumed with disease and dysfunction. I was barely holding on. I am a different person now. At 73 years old, my macular degeneration has gone, and I now have a Driver's License again. I can drive down the street and actually see where I'm going. And, my depression is gone. I look forward to life and find joy in the simplest things, whereas before, nothing made me happy.

Soon, I'll be off my thyroid medication. It's just a matter of weeks. I now have energy and a new zest for life. I'm actually looking forward to planting a flower garden and lots of vegetables this year. And, I'm planning on getting back into Yoga and dance - 2 activities I used to enjoy thoroughly.

I am so grateful to Donna Love, Chris Morris and Dr. Yu and the whole team at Ziquin for these remarkable products. I shudder at what my life was like without all of them. And, I probably wouldn't be alive now if it weren't for them and these products.

These products are amazing and very cost-effective. 25 years ago I spent $1,000 monthly on nutrients and vitamins on my health and none of them were as effective as Ziquin's. I can only say Ziquin's products are very reasonably priced. In fact, they're priceless.
