Wellness Achiever, Julie Reiner
Truly Tried Everything
Hi, my name is Julie Reiner and I can personally testify that I have tried almost everything out there to heal my various health conditions. Over the span of twenty years in a degenerative state, I have easily spent upwards of $20,000 trying to cure my ailments both allopathically and holistically. Until I found Ziquin, most treatments would help me to a certain level and then lose their effect. I was truly at the end of my willingness when I was first introduced to Ziquin. Here is my story.
Allergies, Chronic Fatigue, and Depression
I’ve dealt with allergies for much of my life. When I first moved to Northern California in 1971, I remember sitting on a hillside once and becoming so congested, I could barely breathe. I began to receive allergy shots, but after a time, the shots didn’t seem to help anymore. Then I moved to Santa Cruz and the allergies seemed to “morph” into an eye condition. Essentially, my eyes would become itchy, red, puffed out, scaly and felt like they burned, lasting for almost six weeks at a time. I didn’t want to be seen, but had to go to work, and occasionally I felt I had to hide behind sunglasses in public (including at work!).
In 1984, I got a kidney infection. Afterwards, things went from bad to worse with my health and vitality. Prior to the kidney infection I had all kinds of energy. I had a personal typing business and worked way beyond 40 hours a week, typing into the wee hours of the night and making my “fun money” that way, still able to show up to my day job at 8:00 a.m. sharp. I used to run regularly and go to the gym. After the kidney infection, I was no longer able to do any of that. I gained a lot of weight, and contracted candida. It seemed that is when the chronic fatigue syndrome set in.
From that point on, things just devolved and my life changed dramatically. I could barely get through the day. My eyes were so tired sometimes they felt like two burnt fried eggs. I became sensitive to light, both indoors and outdoors. I barely had enough “maintenance energy” to get through my day. I also started having memory deficits at around this time. By night time, I had to be in bed by 9:00 p.m. Needless to say, there was no time left over for a relationship, reading, hobbies, for education, or any of the finer things in life. It was extremely difficult for me to get up in the morning, regardless of whether it was a work day or weekend. Life was sheer drudgery.
Off and on since my childhood, I have also dealt with depression. It became more and more severe in my mid-forties, as I got closer to menopause and my progesterone level continued to fall. At some point with the chronic fatigue, I really didn’t want to be around anymoreI had many thoughts of suicide. I wasn’t in pain, but I just didn’t want to go on in this way any longer.
Twenty Years of Seeking Help and Treatments
Prior to the kidney infection, I went to see an endocrinologist and had a glucose tolerance test, which came up negative. I then tried acupuncture, but with no real results. In 1983, I tried to change my diet and went vegan. I also tried fasting and colonics, but still didn’t experience any major changes. Over the next two decades, with my persistence I tried a wide gamut of both allopathic and holistic treatments to deal with my fatigue and depression. These included everything from having my mercury amalgams removed, taking pharmaceuticals to raise my thyroid levels, trying the holistic route and employing a number of different holistic practitioners and natural therapies. For almost all of my treatment experiences, the pattern seemed to be the same: I experienced either no or just a temporary improvement in my symptoms, and then would “plateau” with no further improvement.
A Worn-out Skeptic: Introduction to Ziquin
Around the end of 2003, Colin Perry, a Ziquin Wellness Coach, called me. We knew each other from another holistic company we were both familiar with. He’d been taking the Ziquin products for a few months and had had great results. Colin told me about the products, and how he and others that he knew were benefiting from them. At this point I was so burnt out, I was reluctant to try anything new. Nonetheless, he managed to convince me to try just a few of the products. Being somewhat skeptical, I first just took only part of the entire product line. I did this for one year, and that first year on only a few of the products, I didn’t see much of a difference. Colin kept pushing me to take the entire program. Finally, in the winter of 2005, I decided to add the rest of the Ziquin products to my protocol. Within the first two weeks, I really noticed the difference. Then, I had to admit to myself that there WAS someone who knew more about healing and supplementation than I did! (Thank you, Colin!) Since then, I’ve been on the Premier Collection, which includes all the basic products including the Nanomeds Sea Minerals.
Retracing Phase
My retracing has mainly been focused on the viral condition in my body. All of the viral complications associated with my fatigue began showing up as rashes on my skin. I also got eczema on my forearm, about a six inch area, which I believe seemed to be another form of retracing. Last spring I got shingles, and was very ill for about five weeks. (By that time, I hadn’t been ill for an entire year -- not even a sniffle -- so my immune system seemed to be pretty strong.) Throughout all of this retracing, I have continued on the Ziquin products. The shingles disappeared and significant changes then followed during my revitalization phase.
Revitalizing: Told that I Look 10-15 Years Younger
As I was feeling better after a long, long hiatus, I was able to begin my gym membership and physical regimen again. I can now work out regularly at the gym, and I also maintain a 3 times weekly yoga practice. Since revitalizing on Ziquin, I have no trouble going to the gym at all. I work out with weights, and do the aerobic machines. With my former chronic fatigue condition, that was unheard of! Also, especially in the past year, my digestion has shifted to the point where my bowel movements are absolutely regular. Keeping up with my Ziquin protocol, I also no longer have discomfort around voiding (bladder issues), which also gave me trouble in the past.
Though I have never had a skin blemish problem, my skin was always yellowish in tone and sallow. Since being on Ziquin, my skin has definitely brightened. It is now rosy, with no oiliness around my nose, and my pores are smaller. All the time, I get complimented on my skin. In this department, I have been told that I look 10-15 years younger than my age!
A New Person for the First Time in 57 Years
Most miraculously, it seems that my chronic depression has been lifted. I probably started suffering from bouts of depression beginning around 4 or 5 years old. As a teen, it would come and go as a general pall in my life. Over the past year, however, thanks to Ziquin and a meditation technique I have adopted, this chronic pall seems to have permanently lifted! Now that the depression is no longer a factor, my personality has begun to change. No longer as introverted as I was in the past, I am now available to interact with others. For the first time in 57 years, I feel like I’ve come out of my shell. I’m totally different from what I used to be - I smile a lot more, and people smile back at me. (My husband is definitely happier, to say the least!) I feel like a totally new person. I would be overjoyed if everyone I knew took Ziquin products!
After all of my trials and tribulations over the last thirty years with different modalities and treatments, I can honestly say that the Ziquin products ACTUALLY WORK. They are unquestionably the best and most effective products I’ve experienced. I would never be without Ziquin - as long as I can take the products, I will - they’ve just helped me so much!
