“I taught at a college recently, and my students thought I was 35 years old. Though I’m actually 57, I feel 35 in the activities I engage in!”
As a nutritional therapist, my situation is different from many of the people who come to Ziquin. For over 25 years, my passion has been health and nutrition. My experience includes a working knowledge of several therapeutic nutritional supplement lines. My wife and I had a cabinet full of all of the different supplements we had been taking, but I was getting tired of seeing a lot of it going down the toilet.
I like to experiment with products before I recommend them to others. So when I was first introduced to Ziquin by a friend in 2005, I thought I would test them on myself by dropping practically everything else I was taking. I had already integrated into my life a low-stress diet, hydration, and exercise recommendations as laid out by the Ziquin program. Over the years, I had done extensive liver flushes, kidney flushes, and fasts, so I had already done a lot of retracing. I figured that with my clean history, I would get a truer read on the effectiveness of the supplements themselves.
In my experience with supplements before Ziquin, I found that some products would work, and then would stop after a while, while other products never seemed to have any effect. With Ziquin, there was an immediate, almost “aha” feeling in my body. I didn’t have to think about it. There was a simplicity to the protocol that just made sense to me. Intuitively, my body took the products like food—it felt like coming home.
After just three months, the results were pretty amazing. I had a higher level of energy all day and into the night. I noticed a deeper reserve within myself to maintain emotional balance in dealing with life’s challenges, and my mental clarity on the things that meant the most to me came into sharper focus. Into my first year on Ziquin, I also experienced rapid breath recovery when climbing the six flights of stairs at work, no more creaking in my knees, and last but not least—natural weight loss of 20 pounds without trying!
I also experienced a major stride in my resistance training. Over the last two plus years with the Ziquin products, I had been continually increasing my weights at the gym. A landmark moment occurred at the turn of this past year, back in January. One of the co-owners of the gym came by and said, “Did you know that you are doing the highest weights on a number of the machines in the gym?” I had just leg pressed 500 pounds. At 57, I feel stronger than I ever have in my whole life!
With an attitude that “little is good, more is better” and since I hadn’t been really experiencing any retracing after a year on Ziquin, I thought I needed to up the ante on my protocol. After speculating about whether it was helpful to do more, I started doubling up on my amounts, just to see what would happen. Even doubling up, I didn’t go through any significant retracing, and only experienced greater levels of energy and health. In fact, I had so much more available energy, I started playing basketball again!
At 6’4”, I was frequently the player underneath the basket. Engaging in such a real contact sport, I would always come back with bruises and cuts. With various skin breaks and joint injuries, I found that increasing the amounts of Ziquin’s enzymes and the essential fatty acids significantly reduced my recovery time. Where other people would have been out for two months with these injuries, I was healing within two weeks. Essentially, these Ziquin products kept me on the court!
After a period of time, I decided to “experiment” again on myself and return to the original label recommendations I began with on Ziquin. I wondered to myself, would I notice a significant change, in terms of my energy? I can tell you now, that the answer is NO. Over time, I’ve only gotten healthier and healthier – I don’t get the flu, and I don’t get tired like a lot of people. It seems that once your body is in the rejuvenation zone, it stays there!
I can honestly say I have never experienced these kinds of changes on any other supplements. I am starting to get glimpses of myself in vibrant health. I find myself knowing and feeling what it’s like to be in a 25-year-old body again. When I was 25, I wasn’t worried about age and aging. I’m finding that to be a pretty empowering state to be in.
The Ziquin products have raised the bar of my physical, emotional and mental health to a new level. I have access to my true biological potential. I am shape-shifting and dream- shifting all at once. At 57, I have steady energy and still feel that I can do anything I want. Rather than going into the sunset, I’m going into a new phase in my life. And I really want others to know that this kind of experience is there for them too! |
