Wellness Achiever,
Dr. Joseph LaVolpa

Cycles. It's about cycles. Dr. Joseph LaVolpa, a Naturopathic Physician in Redding, California, believes that the Ziquin products affect and treat one's body in cycles - 3, 6 and 9-month cycles. At least that's the way they have affected him. He acknowledges that everyone's body is different and the Ziquin products will affect everyone differently. Dr. J, as friends and colleagues know him, believes the Ziquin products can also affect a person's health positively in 1 and/or 2-month cycles, as well.

Dr. J hasn't always been interested in natural health. At 6' 6" tall, 250 lbs., Dr. J was an athlete in college at Youngstown State, Youngstown, Ohio, where he played basketball and majored in Geology. After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Geology, Dr. J, a star athlete, played for the pro-basketball team, the Oakland Oaks, in California.

Interested in numerous topics, Dr. J. became an Earthquake Researcher in Menlo Park, California and then moved on for a stint with the Forest Service as a Landscape Architect (land use planner) in Eureka, California. He was 26 years old when he noticed the strength in his arms was weakening. X-Rays revealed an arthritic bone spur in his neck as a result of his stressful career in sports and poor nutritional habits. The physician told him the bone spur was 2 1/2 inches long and into his spinal cord and that there was nothing they could do for him. - Dr. J says that medical doctors are still claiming no cure to this day.

At the time, Eureka, California was home to a popular alternative healthcare community. Dr. J., experiencing tremendous pain, sought out an Alternative Practitioner who did holistic bodywork that focused on deep tissue massage, nutrition, body psychology, meditation and yoga. This fascinated Dr. J. and after 6 months of working with this Holistic Practitioner, his bone spur completely dissolved and not a knife touched his neck. This instilled in Dr. J. a belief in natural, holistic (body, mind and spirit) therapy and healthcare. So, he returned to school and completed his Master's in Holistic Psychology at the University for Humanistic Studies in San Diego. As his health continued to improve in all areas, Dr. J became so interested in the field of natural health that he obtained doctorates in Naturopathy and Preventive Medicine at Bernadine University in Los Angeles. That was more than 20 years ago.

Currently a Naturopathic Physician and writer, with a practice in Redding Ca., Dr. J., now 58 years old, has used many different kinds of nutritional products throughout the years. Before Ziquin, he weighted 265 lbs. He partially became interested in the Ziquin products to lose weight. He has tried almost every diet known to man - the low-carb, low fat, low calorie, raw food, vegetarian, Atkins, etc! But, nothing worked. He now believes that his body simply wasn't getting the nutrition it needed from the various nutritional products he took over the years. Then, a friend of his, Dr. Chris Morris, President of The Ziquin Educational Group, LLC, told him about the line of Ziquin nutritional products. Dr. J. had tried everything else on the market to improve his health and decrease his weight, so he thought, reluctantly, O.K., I'll try the Ziquin products and see what they can do!

In December 2003, Dr. J and his wife began taking the Ziquin products. He took the Mind & Body Tonic first thing when he got up and then about an hour later, ate breakfast. Then, around noon, he took 1 teaspoons of the EFA Complete with 3 Energy Endo Biotic tablets. After an hour or so, he ate lunch. At 4:00 p.m. he took 4 All-Xymatic Relief tablets and then after dinner, he took a teaspoon of the minerals with juice. At first he didn't notice anything different. His weight stayed the same and his toes were still numb from the missing disk in his back. Then after 3 months, he was positive that his body was in detox. Among other subtle signs, red itchy spots appeared on his shins and toxins began to flush from his body in various places. There was no doubt his body was experiencing a healing reversal!

Dr. J had been using ionic silver for quite some time to rid his body of a herpes virus. The ionic silver had flushed out a good portion of the virus in his hip. But, after starting the Ziquin products, he noticed these red itchy spots (some about the size of a pea) on his shin were the results of the Herpes virus being flushed out of his body, again. There was no doubt in his mind; the Ziquin products were now cleansing his body at a deeper level than ever before. After a time, the inflammation in his hip went away, a sign that the Ziquin products were continuing to heal his condition at the source of the problem. Every week for 2-3 days, he began to notice other healing reactions - some more subtle than others. Of one thing he was certain, the Ziquin products totally cleansed him of the Herpes virus and remaining yeast infection.

Then, after 6 months, Dr. J and his wife noticed something remarkable. The scale was showing less weight and their appetites were decreasing. Dr. J. said, "I was eating less because my body was getting the nutrition it needed. Before, I ate more because my body wasn't getting the nutrients it needed."

After being on the Ziquin products for 6 months, Dr. J gradually lost 15 lbs. and his wife 10 in a matter of three weeks. And, they hadn't dieted or exercised. This was unbelievable! Never before had they been able to lose any weight so easily without dieting. Now that their weight loss has stabilized, they are excited to see what the next cycle will bring. He is confident that as he and his wife's bodies become more and more efficient from the use of the Ziquin products, they will lose more and eventually stabilize at their perfect body weight.

In addition to all the wonderful things happening in he and his wife's bodies, they have both noticed an extra benefit. Their skin has become as "soft as a baby's bottom". "Our skin feels years younger," Dr. J said. "I haven't had skin this soft since I was a teenager!"

Dr. J believes that the Ziquin products are designed to work in cycles. For him, the first cycle was deep cleansing, which lasted 6 months; increased libido and increased energy. Then, he went through a weight loss cycle. Now, he's moving into another cycle and he believes it's one of rejuvenation. His back is not totally healed from the missing disk, but it's improving. Dr. J is confident that in the near future, as his body goes through yet another cycle, his hip will continue to heal itself. Dr. J. urges everyone to be patient and pay close attention to the changes in their bodies as they take the Ziquin products. "Everyone is different," he said, "and because of that, each individual will experience different results. The sicker a person is, the faster he or she will probably notice results. The healthier a person is, the results may be more subtle and it may take longer before you notice greater changes."

Dr. J says that he rates the Ziquin products as excellent! The best he has ever tried.   He has now incorporated them into his healthcare practice in Redding, and recommends them to all his patients. He believes the Ziquin products are truly groundbreaking in their effects on the human body. He wishes to thank Dr Yu and Dr. Morris for all the dedication and effort that they put into these products.
