ANOTHER Wonderful Testimony!

My name is Janet Davis, and I'm a wife and mom of three girls. My five yr old daughter was sick al-most continuously from Nov through March, doctor visits and increasingly stronger antibiotics did-n't seem to be helping. She had frequent headaches, strep, ear infections and mysterious vi-ruses. After becoming more and more concerned for her, I decided to finally listen to my close friend, Dori Peterson about trying Zija. I put myself and little Lucy on Zija at the end of March. Not only have I not had to take her back for any visits, but the eczema on her arms is completely gone. Within a few weeks, I also noticed that I slept better, woke with more energy, had more pro-longed energy throughout the days and have not had any more spells with insomnia. I'm grateful, but the story doesn't end there...
In early April, my 12 yr old daughter was found to have an enlarged thyroid. We began blood tests, and sure enough, signs of Hashimoto's Disease were be-coming present. Right after her first blood test, I started her on Zija. Her TSH numbers were spiking, and the endo-crinologist said it's time to start meds. I asked for a few more weeks, and thankfully, it was enough time for the Moringa in her system to take effect. Her TSH went from 23.9 (end of June) to 6.9 (mid July) to 3.29 (end of Au-gust). The doctor is VERY surprised and pleased, and says there is NO NEED for meds now. He even made copies of the Johns Hopkins report on Moringa Oleifera to look into. I KNOW that Zija has made all the difference in this-other than replacing standard table salt for sea salt (as per Uncle Russ's advice), Zija is the only thing different in her diet. There is no other explanation.
Not to be left out, my 10 yr old daughter no longer suffers from seasonal allergies after taking her Zija. I know with-out a doubt that Zija is giving us far better health than any-thing else could provide. As a distributor, the support and encouragement within this company is unrivaled and end-less. The people I've met and continue to meet are role models and passionate about sharing what Moringa can do for every single person we know. You have nothing if not your health, right?
How grateful I am for Dori Peterson, who cared enough about me and my family to open her mouth and share this precious gift! I look forward to continuing health within my family and meeting more role models as my team continues to flourish and grow! Thank you to Ken Brailsford for recognizing the importance of Moringa Oleifera and for seeing the vision of this wonderful company!!

No "PROOF", But...

Bitter waters turned sweet

After Moses led the Israelites through the miraculous Red Sea crossing, described in the Bible's book of Exodus (15:25), they went into the wilderness of Shur — in the north-west of the Sinai Peninsula.
The Israelites travelled for three days without finding water. When they finally came to a place with water, which they named Marah, they decided to camp there.
But they found they could not drink from the waters at Marah because the taste was too bitter. They complained to Moses, who asked God what they could drink.
Then God showed Moses a tree, “which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet”.
What was this tree? Are there really trees that can turn bad water into clean drinking water — trees that will purify water quickly to make it drinkable?

Moringa oleifera

One of the most remarkably useful trees is one being cultivated heavily for use in the Sudan. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that village women had successfully used the tree Moringa oleifera (pictured above) to cleanse the highly turbid water of the River Nile. After trying other moringa species in Egypt, Namibia, Somalia, and Kenya, they too have shown properties that clarify water quickly.
When moringa seeds are crushed and poured into a pot or bottle of dirty water, the water turns transparent within seconds. The seeds' anti-bacterial properties can turn low, medium, and high turbidity waters into tap-water quality in an hour or two.
Studies on the effectiveness of moringa seeds for treating water have been done since the 1970s, and have consistently shown that moringa is especially effective in removing suspended particles from water with medium to high levels of turbidity (muddiness or dirtiness).
In water with high turbidity, a litre of water needs only one of the horseradish-smelling seeds for effective treatment. In low turbity, one seed may do 4 litres. When the water is boiled, this increases its nutritional effectiveness by making inactive a nutrition-inhibiting protein (lectin).

Widely cultivated

The moringa tree today seems to be native only to the southern foothills of the Himalayas, but it has been grown wonderfully elsewhere in dry, sandy soil, and it tolerates poor soil. It can grow to a height of about 10 metres.
Apart from Africa, moringa trees are being cultivated in India, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere. We are now growing a few Moringa trees around our Creation Tips office in Australia, as we are situated in a semi-rural area and rely mostly on tank water.

Above: Beautiful moringa flowers are used for decoration and in health products.

---

Almost every part of Moringa oleifera is useful. The leaves are inexpensive and are used in soups, and with meat, chicken and vegetable dishes. The leaves are somewhat like spinach in both looks and nutritional value. Fresh leaves have 4 times the calcium of milk, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 4 times the vitamin A in carrots. They are used in tea, soup, and porridge.
Moringa's bark, roots, fruit, flowers, leaves, seeds (photo at right) and gum are used as an antiseptic and in medicines to treat rheumatism, bites and other ailments. The seed pod has been used to desalinate sea water.
The bark and roots are used as a spice and in soap; seed oil is used in cooking, machine lubrication, and cosmetics; the wood is used for fences and firewood. The flowers are also used in religious festivals, churches, and to decorate houses. Powdered moringa is used in cakes, fish feed, and cattle feed.

The Marah tree?

We cannot be dogmatic in saying that the moringa was the tree the Israelites used to purify the waters of Marah. The Bible does not give us enough information about either the tree or the water. (Marah means “bitterness” by the way, which is why they named that place Marah).
It is also not certain whether the miracle was in God's revealing to Moses the type of tree that would solve the problem, or in God's producing a one-off miracle using a tree at the campsite. But the wording that says “the Lord shewed him [Moses] a tree” seems to be saying the solution was in the tree.
In any case, we do know that the moringa has remarkable properties — especially for rapidly purifying undrinkable water. So if we want to know, “Is there a tree that can quickly purify undrinkable water?”, the answer is clearly Yes. “Can the tree grow in that area?” Again the answer seems to be Yes.

Custom Weight Management... Review #2

Zija Weight Loss System Allows You To Customize Your Weight Loss Plan

The keystone product for Zija's weight loss system is their XM3 Capsules. These capsules work to stimulate the body's metabolism and naturally burn off excess fat while simultaneously suppressing the appetite. For best results, clients can customize their weight loss plans by adding other supplemental products such as the Smart Mix or Smart Drink that provide nutritional support, greater appetite suppression and digestive cleansing with the Miracle Tea.

Good nutrition is key to any successful weight loss program. The danger in some radical diet plans is that the body won't get the nutrients it needs to maintain god health while losing weight. While these plans may still help clients reach their target weight loss goals, they can also cause permanent damage to the body as it leeches needed nutrients to sustain life from tissue and bone.

When used in combination with the Zija XM3 Capsules, the Moringa Tea can provide the body with the increased nutritional support it needs to maintain good health while shedding excess body fat. In addition, the Moringa Tea also helps to naturally increase the body's absorption of these nutrients making the supplement much more effective than most over the counter vitamin supplements.

The Zija Miracle Tea works together with the Zija XM3 Capsules to provide clients with greater appetite suppression while also gently cleansing the digestive tract. When burning excess body fat using the natural thermogenesis process, dead cells can build up in the digestive tract. Over time, this can reduce the effectiveness of supplements by making it more difficult for them to be absorbed by the body. When used as directed, no more than a single serving per day for maximum weight loss, the Miracle Tea can help flush these dead cells out of the body. As an added bonus, the Miracle Tea also has appetite suppressant properties that work in tandem with the capsules to provide even greater weight loss support.

For best results with your weight loss plan, supplemental products should be used in addition to Zija XM3 Capsules. Though the capsules are the keystone of Zija's comprehensive weight loss solution, a customized weight loss solution that incorporates supplements can increase the effectiveness of the capsules and help keep your body strong while achieving your weight loss goals.

Are Your Meds Making You Sick (Part 4 - Final)

Prescription Drug Side Effects – Part 4

Medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat

by: Patricia Barry | from: AARP Bulletin | September 1, 2011

However, it's not always easy to tell whether a symptom is related to a drug, a drug interaction, the underlying medical condition or a different health problem entirely. Sometimes if a drug is suspected, the only way a doctor can be certain it's the culprit is to stop prescribing it and see if the symptom vanishes — which might be medically feasible for some conditions but not others.

"Patients can be their own best advocates in alerting their doctor to a concern that this [symptom] could be a drug side effect," Steinman says. "Patients know themselves better than anyone else."

How to Avoid Drug Reactions

• If you experience a change that doesn't feel right, tell your doctor. Ask if the symptom could be a drug side effect. It may be an expected effect that will wear off soon. But it also may signal a serious medical problem.

• If you're taking several drugs, ask your doctor or pharmacist to review them. Ask if there can be interaction problems with your drugs and even vitamins and supplements. Consider seeing a certified consultant pharmacist trained in managing a number of drugs, usually for a fee. If you're in a Medicare Advantage health plan, ask if you qualify for its medications therapy management service.

• Ask if there are lifestyle changes you can make instead of taking a drug. Very often patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes can minimize side effects or avoid drugs altogether by losing weight, exercising more and stopping smoking.

• Ask to be prescribed drugs that have been on the market for at least seven years. It often takes five to 10 years for serious side effects of a new drug to show up in the general population. Some reactions surface only after the patient has been on the drug for a year or more.

• Ask why the doctor is prescribing a particular drug. Find out what the risks and benefits are, compared to alternative drugs.

• Don't stop taking a drug without consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping some drugs can be harmful.

Resources

• Use AARP's Drug Interaction Checker to review your medications online.
• Read Consumers Reports' Best Buy Drugs for information on effectiveness and safety of drugs according to scientific evidence.
• Locate a certified geriatric pharmacist for help managing medications.

ARE YOUR MEDS MAKING YOU SICK? (Part 3)

Prescription Drug Side Effects – Part 3

Medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat

by: Patricia Barry | from: AARP Bulletin | September 1, 2011

One reason older people are excluded is that the specific effect of a new drug can be "harder to tease out" when tested on people who are likely to have other medical conditions, says Michael Steinman, M.D., an associate professor at the University of California in San Francisco. "But also, from a drug company's perspective, it's advantageous to study a drug in younger, healthier people who are less likely to have side effects." The result, he adds, is that doctors are "handicapped" by not knowing "how well these drugs work in older and sicker people who most often need them."

Other effective methods of treatment — exercise, physical therapy and diet changes — can improve many conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes.

Drug manufacturers spend billions of dollars persuading doctors to prescribe — and older patients to buy — the newest, most expensive medications. But studies show six out of seven "new" drugs are no more effective than "old" ones, and are riskier because they haven't been around long enough to have an extensive safety record.

Now, many doctors are becoming warier. Schiff is one who preaches what he calls "conservative prescribing." His very first suggestion to doctors is to "think beyond drugs" and discuss other effective methods of treatment — exercise, physical therapy and diet changes — that can improve many conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes.

Still, it's easier for patients to pop a pill a day instead of dieting or exercising. It's also easier for physicians to prescribe pills, especially when people tend to want their money's worth when making an office visit. "The patient says: 'I took a day off work, I came down here, I want the antibiotic,' whether they need it or not," says Schiff.

It's hardly surprising if overworked doctors, seeing a patient for maybe 15 minutes or less, fail to recognize a symptom as linked to a drug the person is already taking — and not some new medical problem.

But, Zagaria says, people in her profession — independent consultant pharmacists trained to help older people manage all their medications — "automatically assume that a patient's new symptom could be related to medication unless you prove otherwise."

ARE YOUR MEDS MAKING YOU SICK?

This is Part of a 4 part Series written by Patricia Barry for AARP magazine... While we are all not of "Senior" age yet, this article shows just how dangerous Prescription Drugs Are...

Prescription Drug Side Effects – Part 2

Medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat

by: Patricia Barry | from: AARP Bulletin | September 1, 2011

But the fatal or serious reactions most often reported are only the tip of the iceberg, experts say. "There are tens of millions of milder reactions, some of which are quite damaging to people even though they're medically regarded as minor," says Donald W. Light, a medical sociologist and editor of The Risks of Prescription Drugs, a book that reviews current evidence of medication problems.

Milder symptoms such as drowsiness, sleeplessness, muscle aches, dizziness, nausea and bouts of depression may be more troubling than they are dangerous. Yet, Light says, studies show drugs that affect people's sense of balance or slow their reactions are a major cause of falls and road accidents. Even gastric problems or muscle pain can seriously affect mobility and mood, hampering work, activities and family relationships.

Drugs are widely assumed to be designed to target a specific medical issue, but they rarely do.

Why do drugs prescribed for a specific health problem trigger other health problems? Errors made by doctors, pharmacists, hospitals — and patients themselves — are a major problem. But even if all errors were avoided, knotty issues remain, including bad interactions among different drugs prescribed for the same patient by different doctors; drugs prescribed for uses that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved; and an imperfect testing system for new drugs, which permits the marketing of medications that only later prove to have harmful side effects.

Moreover, drugs are widely assumed to be designed to target a specific medical issue, but they rarely do. "They have effects on multiple organs," says Schiff. "These are very complex molecules going into very complex organ systems of human bodies."

That's especially true for older people. "As we age, changes occur to all organ systems, and these can affect the way that medication is processed in the body," says Mary Ann Zagaria, a consultant pharmacist in Norwich, N.Y., and a board member of the Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy. "A drug regimen that was appropriate for a 60-year-old would not necessarily be well tolerated at 70 or 80."

More than 75 percent of Americans age 60 and over take two or more prescription drugs, and 37 percent use at least five, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (PDF). But older people are rarely included in clinical trials, which test a drug's safety and effectiveness.

Prescription Drug Side Effects – Part 1

Medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat

by: Patricia Barry | from: AARP Bulletin | September 1, 2011

The symptoms were sudden and severe: tightness in the chest, dizziness, nausea. "I thought I was having a heart attack," says Lynn Golden, a 59-year-old retired scientist living in Maryland. Rushed to the emergency room, she spent two days in the hospital having exhaustive tests that all proved negative. It was only later that she discovered the cause — unexpected side effects from a prescription drug she'd started taking three weeks earlier to manage a mild thyroid condition.

To avoid prescription drug side effects, possibly try exercise and diet change first.                      

 Golden's experience is a classic example of how medications can cause other conditions unrelated to the health problems they're prescribed to treat. Unaware of this, patients very often consult their doctors about this "new" condition — only to be prescribed yet another drug that could produce still more side effects.

This syndrome is known as a drug "cascade." It's not as well studied as more dramatic problems with prescription drugs — such as when apparently safe drugs turn out to be deadly — but it is of growing concern. Experts estimate that tens of millions of people are suffering every day — often without knowing why. "There are a lot of people taking drugs to treat the side effects of drugs," says Gordon Schiff, M.D., an internist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and associate director of the Brigham Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice in Boston. "And sometimes that makes sense, and maybe the initial drug is essential. But when you're taking a drug to treat the side effect of a drug which is treating the side effect of another drug, it gets to be rather a house of cards."

Adverse drug effects send about 4.5 million Americans to the doctor's office or the emergency room each year — more than for common conditions like strep throat or pneumonia — according to a recent study by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine estimates that serious drug reactions occur more than 2 million times each year among patients in hospitals and are the fourth leading cause of hospital deaths, topped only by heart disease, cancer and stroke.

Prenatal Vitamins

ARE THEY SAFE?
Prenatal vitamins have been known to cause certain side effects like headaches, nausea, intestinal cramps, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn, muscle aches and pains, fatigue, gas or belching, metallic taste, insomnia, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), yellow-orange discoloration of the urine, and loss of appetite. A lot of these side effects reported are also common annoyances with pregnancy. Could any of it be due to prenatal vitamins?

The Truth about Prenatal Vitamins

Missing Ingredients

In his book, The Homeostasis Protocol, health educator Blake Sawyer suggests that 95% of vitamins on the market today are isolated synthetic vitamins that have been stripped of their enzymes, phytonutrients, secondary compounds, macronutrients, and cofactors. In Eat, Move, and Be Healthy, world renowned health coach Paul Chek discusses that there are up to 10,000 secondary nutrients in plants.

Moringa Oleifera offers the largest number of nutrients of any plant ever discovered-including all the essential nutrients needed throughout pregnancy.

In “Real or Synthetic: The Truth Behind Whole-Food Supplements,” Doctor Daniel Chong states “If parts of your processed prenatal vitamin are missing, those missing parts will be taken from your body’s stored supply.” This means, potentially, that every time you ingest those 50 vitamins and minerals from your prenatal without the additional 9,950 secondary nutrients, your body must actually scramble its own secondary nutrients in order to balance the system. Is it possible that your pregnancy has already mustered some of your 9,950 nutrient reserves and now your isolated vitamin places additional demand to produce even more? Might your baby’s nutrient supply be at risk?

Toxic Prenatals

It seems your synthetic prenatals may do even more harm than sucking your secondary nutrient reserves. Doctor Chong’s article sites studies showing that your body treats these isolated and synthetic nutrients like foreign substances that force themselves around your body like drugs. Of course, any “foreign substance” is toxic to your body and your baby on some level, but today’s definitions of drugs all come with known side effects. You know those pharmaceutical drug commercials that spend half the commercial spitting out the required list of side effects that “may” affect you by taking their “isolated synthetic” drug? It seems that your “isolated synthetic” vitamins may act very similar.

Imagine for a moment that your computer is like your pregnant body. Taking isolated synthetic prenatals is like uploading your computer with an incomplete version of Microsoft Windows and assuming it will know how to make sense of it. It may not. Your body systems are looking for programs (foods and supplements) in forms that are highly recognizable, like nature’s true foods. The more often you upload incomplete and altered programs (synthetic vitamins), the more often you may risk susceptibility to complications, or viruses, just like your computer.

Detoxification Necessary Due to Man Made Vitamins

It is a fact that your body must detoxify foreign invaders like viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Since synthetic isolated vitamins are man-made versions, your innate foreign detection system may actually attempt to detoxify part of it. This is exactly how your body reacts to other foreign substances, like secondhand smoke. Could it be possible your body views your prenatal as a potential poison that must be detoxified and excreted as quickly as possible? Why put your baby under additional unnecessary stress?

Considered the bible of true-food wisdom, nutrition researcher Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions reports studies showing that synthetic vitamins are often harmful compared to their “true food” counterparts.

Synthetic Vitamin A from supplements can be toxic, causing hair loss, drying of mucous membranes, irritability, menstrual abnormalities, and birth defects. However, high levels of natural Vitamin A have no toxic effects.

Synthetic betacarotene given to smokers actually increased their risk of cancer, while the natural forms found in fruits and vegetables are protective.

Synthetic Vitamin B1 derived from coal tar did not cure the disease, beriberi, in Korean prisoners-of-war but rice polishings with natural vitamin B complex did.

Just as disturbing, if you ask your vitamin manufacturer what the raw ingredients of your vitamins are, The Homeostasis Protocol advises that you may not like the answer. Here are some possibilities:

• Coal tar derivatives (like what’s stuck in a cigarette smoker’s lungs)

• Petroleum based chemicals (known central nervous system depressants, carcinogens and respiratory irritants)

• Acetylene gas (used in chemical manufacturing)

• Toxic cow livers

• Human sewage

GenM - Zija Skin Products

Skin Nutrition 101

Moringa Is Nature's Beautician

Everyone wants beautiful skin. Why look any further than nature? Zija's Gen^m Skin Care offers a complete anti-aging line of all-natural skin treatment products using Moringa-based ingredients. Because your cells are replenished from within, Zija offers a complete line of nutricosmetic beauty drinks for optimal health. Gen^m Skin Care goes way beyond regular topical skin care—it's skin care at the cellular level—from the inside out!
Since we begin at the cellular level, Gen^m is great for most skin types. Our concept is to address skin conditions more than just skin types. We understand that your skin can change daily, weekly, seasonally and hormonally. Thus, designing a product for a particular skin type just doesn't make sense. Our products are formulated to adjust to your changing body by maintaining your skin's proper moisture levels and pH balance. Our formulations work with your body, not against it.

Inner Health, Outer Beauty

Gen^m skin care is based on careful science and enlightened research. Our goal was to unleash a powerful medley of natural botanicals and ingredients that promote healthy skin at consumer-friendly doses with real results. Keeping the underlying "inner health, outer beauty” philosophy in mind, Zija's team of nutritionists, scientists and skin care experts have developed an efficacious line of next-generation skin care without last-generation ingredients. Zija developed and built Gen^m to bridge the gap for all generations' anti-aging needs.

Gen^m products:

• Are paraben and phthalate-free
• Are infused with Moringa extracts
• Use only earth friendly, botanically-based, natural ingredients
• Are free of chemical preservatives and sulfates
• Are free of artificial colors and fragrances
• Are cruelty-free
