Wellness Achiever, Brittina Arrigoni
I am a Yoga teacher. The meaning of Yoga, in its literal, Post-Classical sense, means "union." Hence, Yoga reunites all opposites - mind and body, stillness and movement, masculine and feminine, sun and moon - in order to bring reconciliation between them. In Chinese philosophy, there exists the concept of “Chi” (energy flow), a vital force that flows throughout the body. One of the aims of Tai Chi is to foster the circulation, balance, and strength of “Chi” with in the body, which is also accomplished through Yoga.
I only mention this because I believe that without my practice of Yoga, I am not sure if I would have survived long enough to even discover the Ziquin products. I don't think I would have been able to handle the disease and inflammation in my body and eventually discover the wonderful, life-changing Ziquin products.
About a year ago, I noticed that whenever I practiced Yoga, I could feel the fiery inflammation in my joints. It was excruciatingly painful. I tried numerous expensive supplements off the shelves in the health food stores, but nothing worked. After practicing Yoga, the pain would lessen somewhat due to the "Chi" that flowed through my body, but eventually, the pain would always return with a fierce intensity.
For the last 10-15 years, I hadn't digested food properly. It went right through me. I never had a regular bowel movement. I read books and researched "cures," but nothing helped. I finally switched to a raw foods diet, which aggravated the pain and inflammation even more.
A year ago, when I noticed the increased pain in the joints in my arms and legs, I also became aware that my whole body and system was literally shutting down. Nothing was working right in my body.
I went to an alternative health care clinic and began working with a healthcare practitioner, chiropractor and acupuncturist. My hips were in a lot of pain, even though I did Yoga daily.
I went down from my healthy weight of 125 lbs. to 105 lbs. I went to my alternative healthcare practitioner and said desperately, "Help! I feel like I'm dying."
He took a sample of my blood and discovered that the SED rate was 80 instead of the normal rate of 18. He explained that this was an indication that there was a tremendous amount of inflammation in my body and this inflammation was painful. All of my internal organs were inflamed. The doctor diagnosed it as Crohn's Disease. I explained that I had been eating an all raw foods diet, and he told me that it was the worst thing possible for a person with Crohn's Disease. Needless to say, I quit the raw foods diet.
I also went to see a Chiropractor who told me he had been having some excellent results against inflammation with essential fatty acids. He gave me some to take on a trip with me to Costa Rica. The friend I was traveling with was using the essential fatty acids and the vitamin/mineral tonic. I took the EFAs and tonic and within 2 days, I had regular bowel movements - something that hadn't happened for 15 years. This was amazing and shocking since nothing I had done before had changed my bowel movements!
I could tell the difference in my health immediately. I had more energy than ever before and my hair was shinier. If this little amount can make me feel this good, then perhaps a double dose would be even better, I thought. I started taking double doses of the EFAs and vitamin/mineral tonic and this regimen seemed to heal my body quickly. Of course, in part, my body recuperated so fast, I think, because I'm an avid practitioner of Yoga as well. But still, the Ziquin products have had an unbelievable effect on me.
After being on the products for 5 months, I experienced some old aches and pains in my body - and still experience some from time to time. I think the Ziquin products are simply retracing these old pains and resolving old issues in my body.
My experience in Yoga is very similar to Ziquin's philosophy of how the "Chi" moves through the body. Ziquin's products move through the body in a way so that organs and cells can communicate and rejuvenate with each other more effectively - the way Yoga pushes the "Chi" - the energy flow throughout the body. I believe that when one combines Ziquin with Yoga, the "union" can be even more dramatic and fast. Ziquin made sense to me because it's a whole system that creates a synergy in one's body. These products teach the body how to rejuvenate and regenerate health in itself. Ziquin has been a blessing. I now weigh a healthy 115 lbs. My Crohn's Disease is gone.
People say I am getting younger every day. There is more color in my face and a glow in my eyes.
My hormonal tests say I'm post-menopausal, but I haven't had any problems with libido or dryness. My body may have gone through menopause, but I never felt any ill effects.
Since I have always embraced the Yoga mindset of viewing life in a more proactive state rather than reactive, I believe that taking the Ziquin products is a proactive way to prevent disease and/or lessen the pains of current diseases and pains in the body. I believe people can find an inner peace that will radiate outwards and their life will become one of greater joy and experience. The exercise of Yoga begins the student on a conscious journey to discover what simply is - Who are you and what can you become? In the same way, Ziquin can offer you a conscious journey to discover renewed health and vitality. |
