Arthritis and Joint Pain Testimonials

I started drinking Zija in December of 2008. I had scoliosis as a child and developed arthritis and fibromyalgia. Within 2 months my pain was gone and also the swelling in my left knee. I was told my husband would be in a wheelchair by December 2009, he is still going, still walking. Thank you Russ Bianchi! My husband is a preacher, a farmer but no longer drives a school bus. We know Zija is keeping him pain free and on his feet. We take no prescription drugs. Sue Underwood – Canmer, KY

Gabe has had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since he was 5 years old. Since taking Zija, Gabe has had a miraculous turnaround. He has been able to remove his orthotic insoles from his shoes as well as his ankle braces. His pain level has decreased to almost zero. We are now hoping to be able to decrease or eliminate his medication that he takes for his JRA. We are true believers in the benefits of Zija. It has improved Gabe's quality of life tremendously!!!"

If someone had told me 2 mos. ago I would be sitting here telling you about a MORINGA TREE, I would have laughed, I am sure! But, I am sitting here...and I DO WANT to tell you about what this has truly done for me. I can only say it has become a miracle for my health. Diagnosed 5 1/2 yrs. ago with R.A.(rheumatoid arthritis) hit me like a big concrete block. I mean...heck I was only 47....my granny had had this! My doctor asked me that day, right then, if I wanted to start the process of getting disability!! I told her that I knew if I SAT DOWN...for sure my life would be over. Over the next 5 yrs. I have had horrible pain, swelling, and been on all kinds of meds. I studied for herbs to help me. Some did, but not completely. The swelling was horrible. Then a year ago, my thyroid went bonkers!! Been on meds for this nearly 10 years...all fine. We went up & down...hair falling out, extreme problems with my skin, my sleep, and most of all, my mental health! I am not going to go all into this, as I just am not ready to share that yet. But let me tell you, I hit rock bottom!!!! Emotionally & mentally, I was there. No, I am not going to say that this has cured me of all my problems....NOT YET!! Today is Jan. 27, 2010. Give me 5 more weeks...I bet I will be able to say ALL PROBLEMS.... I have not taken a single arthritic medicine or injection since I started Zija 5 weeks ago. NOT ONE!!! I have no swelling, no pain, and my thyroid blood test came back NORMAL 2wks into taking the drink mix. Not only that...but without trying at all, I have lost 17 pounds!!!!! I am now excited to start exercising, cause I won't hurt, and to get back in shape as I was 7 years ago...with ENERGY!!! I have not had that in so long! If I were a song, I would be singing!!! lol....cause I truly know that Zija has changed my life and my Doctors will vouch on this also!!! I FEEL GOOD!!!!!

UPDATE: MAR.27,2010: I am now 22 1/2lbs lighter, still feel amazing! Have gone off thyroid med, allergy px, diabetic pill, AND STILL NO PAIN MEDS FOR MY RA!!! I am so amazed that I praise God daily for this wonderful miracle drink! I thank Dr. Russ Bianchi for creating this, and being there when I needed advice. My husband, Larry, is now on Zija-using the oil for a place that came up on his shoulder, and it is disappearing after 2 days!! Been there for months!!! He ''testifies'' to many, ''I now have my energetic wife back, and that has eased so much worry for me. My partner IS BACK & LOOKING GOOD!!''....NOW....that makes me feel like a MILLION BUCKS! ~Vicki Curry, Lexington, KY

I started taking Zija in March of 2009. The first thing I noticed was the absence of joint pain. Next, I noticed that I was sleeping better at night and that my restless leg problems stopped. I have also noticed an improvement in my eye sight. Last but not least my energy level and a sense of wellness have improved. Zija works! Glen Rice – Buffalo, KY

I began taking the Zija products in November of 2009 due to having had three operations on my ankles as the result of accidents; and by having a spinal fusion I developed severe arthritis and back pain. I have been drinking Zija smart mix and taking the XM3 caps each day. The results have been a loss of 14 lbs. without any type of exercise and I have gained lots of energy from the drink. Thanks Zija. Donnie Buchanan – Hodgenville, KY

I had been waking in the night for severe pelvic bone aches. Dr. Mehta told me it was arthritic pain-not from my osteopenia. After a week or so of drinking Zija, I have not been awakened since with pain. In fact, I'm not taking Boniva either. Zija also has a great deal of calcium in it. I'm hoping on my next visit my bone density will show an improvement. After a couple of months of consuming Zija, I noticed the spider veins on my legs were almost gone. Also I would get migraine headaches every few weeks-none since Zija. I have also noticed I no longer crave sweet foods-lost 3 or 4 pounds as well. After only a couple of days, I noticed I had more stamina and energy. That is still the case. I no longer wake up in the night with leg and feet cramps since consuming Zija." ~ Kathy Cruse - Elizabethtown, KY

Started Zija last October within the first week I noticed less joint pain and fatigue. By the second week my joint pain was 80% less than before Zija. I have gone from leaving the house to go to the farm at 7 to getting out of bed and leaving the house by 6:20. My mood, so my wife says has greatly improved. Other benefits are weight loss of 18 lbs. by starting the XM3 caps and my doctor is slowly getting me off my diabetic meds. Todd Jeffries–Canmer, KY

Physically I have been in bad shape for years. In the last 3 years I have broken my feet 5 times, and had 2 heart cath and countless x-rays/tests. After taking Zija off and on since December of 2009 I am now pain free in my feet which did hurt all the time. My heart has not acted up; my weight is slowly coming down. I have so much more energy, I just feel good! My outlook is more positive and people are noticing. Thank God for creating the moringa tree and for all those involved in the making of this life changing Zija product. Vicki Jeffries – Glasgow, KY

I was a college basketball player and have suffered with knee pain since 1990. I have been using the Zija products since July of 2009 and am happy to report that my knee pain is gone. I can ride in a vehicle comfortably and have no trouble negotiating stairs. Thank you Russ Bianchi and Ken Brailsford. Rick Staley – Lawrenceburg, KY

Within a week of consuming Zija, I was sleeping better and my joint pain had subsided, I haven't had any migraines since. My sugar has leveled out. No more hot flashes, no more mood swings! My husband had to give up his refereeing and umpiring and his now back calling games and coaching ball again. I never realized the pain that I was in before Zija.

Robyn Edwards- Buffalo, KY

Affordable, simple and powerful nutrition.....helped my hormonal imbalance, sleep deprivation, focus, blood pressure, my husband's arthritis, my son's performance at college and on the baseball field...need I say more? Wow...the tree is an overachiever! Avidly sharing everywhere. ~ Amy S.

Allergies

Since drinking Zija I have noticed an incredible reduction in allergy and sinus problems. It is something I have battled for years and treated with shots, medicine, and herbal remedies. None of those have been near as effective as Zija to take care of my symptoms. My 9 year old son is seeing benefits with his allergies from drinking the product as well. I also had become quite a caffeine addict but with two cans of Zija a day and a very small amount of XM3, I no longer need coffee to energize me through the day. The natural energy is amazing! It lasts all day, it doesn't hype me up or cause my heart to race, and I don't crash later. It is Zija for life for me!"

"I had severe pain in both knees. I had allergies, and asthma. Not only have I lost 37 lbs., but I have no knee pain, no allergies and no asthma. I also had a hyper-active 12 year old son who’s very smart but was not living up to his potential. Now he is leveled out and an A student. Now he tells me he can’t wait until he is old enough to do the business. I love being a part of a product and company that has the vision to truly impact the lives of so many souls and look forward to do my part in taking the message of Zija to the world." Jennifer Logsdon – Munfordville, KY I

I have been drinking Zija Smart Mix for going on 4 months now and went to the eye doctor yesterday and my eyesight has improved. My prior prescription was - 1.50 in both eyes and now it is -.75 in one eye and - 1.00 in the other! I also suffer from severe allergies and since drinking Zija I haven’t had a problem at all with my allergies. This is the first Spring in years that I haven’t had to take any allergy medication! Everyone should give Zija a try…nothing to lose, so much to gain!!!! Peggy Hamilton - Somerset, KY

Our family has seen great results with Zija. Our daughter has battled allergies for 2 years and is now off her allergy meds. Our son is a cancer survivor and his immune system has been great with Zija. I dealt with migraines and other medical concerns before Zija. My overall health has increased noticeably. Stephanie Lally – Crestwood, KY

I started drinking Zija in March. My 4 year old daughter and I are now off all of our allergy medicines, and our allergies are better controlled now than they ever were on the medicines. I can now do yardwork and ride the motorcycle with my husband without having an allergy attack!! Thank you Zija! I have never in my life been able to fully participate in outdoor activities due to allergies, and now I am free to do whatever I want. My daughter has not been sick since starting Zija, and was sick monthly before that. She also looks healthier, and her appetite is greatly improved. I have also lost 16 pounds on the XM3 weight management system. Zija also helped my shin pain I was having when running. I have also noticed more energy, and more focus-I am able to stay on task better at work and feel more organized. We will be on Zija for life. The benefit with all the vitamins/minerals, etc from Moringa has changed our lives! Neila Combs – Glasgow, KY

I started drinking Zija in September of 2008. Within the first week, I noticed that I slept a lot better than I did in the past. I played sports all throughout high school and played college football and because of this, I did have joint pain in my knees and shoulder. After drinking Zija for about a month, my joint pains have pretty much gone away. I also have severe allergies in the spring, which require shots. This spring I did not had a single shot and I did not have any allergy issues. I was able to go outside to mow the yard, work in my landscaping, and play golf without getting itchy eyes, sneezing, or sinus issues. This spring was the best spring I have had in about 15 years. I also do not eat any vegetables or fruits so I know I am getting the nutrients that I have not gotten in my body for many years. In September of 2009, I started using the XM3 capsules with the Zija smart drink. Since September 29, 2009, I have lost 38 pounds and have surpassed my goal. It is amazing that I am getting healthier each day, losing weight, and getting paid to do it. Wow!" Kelly Sandidge - Hodgenville, KY

Asthma

I had severe pain in both knees. I had allergies, and asthma. Not only have I lost 37 lbs., but I have no knee pain, no allergies and no asthma. I also had a hyper-active 12 year old son who’s very smart but was not living up to his potential. Now he is leveled out and an A student. Now he tells me he can’t wait until he is old enough to do the business. I love being a part of a product and company that has the vision to truly impact the lives of so many souls and look forward to do my part in taking the message of Zija to the world.

JACK

Our son Jack seemed to have the cards stacked against him even before he made it into this world. Due to my blood clotting disorder, I was required to self-administer heparin shots into my stomach everyday for the duration of my pregnancy. It was the only way to en-sure that he would reach a viable age in-utero. He was born three w eeks premature on Pearl Harbor Day 2004. Shortly before Christmas of 2005, he developed a serious case of RSV and that meant antibiotics, albuterol and breathing treatments every four hours.

Allergies soon followed, in the spring. He is such an outdoorsy little guy and could only play out for short periods. He would cough and wheeze and at times could not catch his breath.
Again, more breathing treatments and now prescription allergy medicine twice a day, he stayed hyper from the albuterol and then drowsy from the allergy meds.

In 2008, he was diagnosed with asthma and was immediately prescribed three more medications, including an inhaler. Five prescriptions and he wasn’t 4 yet. One of his prescriptions was nearly $200 a month. In 2010, he began to struggle to breathe at night; he would wake up coughing uncontrollably.

It was frightening; we would have to check on him periodically to make sure he was breathing at all throughout the night. This led to yet another visit with his pediatrician, this time it was acid reflux and his sixth prescription, he wasn’t even six years old.
By now his prescriptions alone were close to $300 a month

My brother had been telling me about Zija and the benefits of Moringa. I was skeptical but reluctantly tried it and I was amazed. Within two weeks of drinking his Zija, Jack could sleep through the night without episode. After two months he had no sign of allergies at all.
At four months on Zija, I took him back to the pediatrician for a checkup; our regular doctor was not in that day so we saw his colleague.

He examined Jack and looked at his chart. He listened to Jack’s lungs a second time and with a puzzled face asked me, “You say he has asthma? Hmmm, that’s interesting. This boy doesn’t have asthma. He seems to be in pretty good shape to me.”

He advised me to keep an eye on him, but he didn’t see the point in keeping him on the medications if he didn’t need it. I had to “wean” him off the asthma medicine and that took about two weeks. Now he is on only one treatment… ZIJA.

Today he can breathe freely without struggle, he plays outside now with no time limits, he sleeps like a baby and he has not had a breathing treatment in over eight months.
I believe in this product because I truly believe that it saved my son’s life. Thank you Zija…from the bottom of my heart for giving my son back his childhood.
Thank you, Julia Holman (Jack’s mom)

Hello this is Lena I have a little boy named Michael that had suffered from asthma since coming home from the hospital. The Doctors had Michael taking xopenex, pulmicort and albuterol steroids which were administered through a nebuliser.We had to make trips to the Emergency room frequently as Michael woke up multiple times at night complaining that he could not breathe and his skin would be purple from the lack of oxygen!The last thing you want to see is your baby gasping for air to breathe!He was also taking singulair for allergies as the allergies would cause the asthma to flair up.

Michael was 4 years old in February of 2009 when I was introduced to Zija. I am the owner of Genesis Herb Shop in Locust Grove Ga so I have tried many alternative supplements to help Michael with his asthma but nothing ever really helped!

Michael began taking the Zija smart mix in February 2009 and within 6 weeks he was off all of the above referenced medications and has been asthma free for the past 20 months! It is an absolutely amazing product and I have to thank the Lord Jesus for such an awesome nutritional that has truly changed the life of my son Michael for the better! Michael is now 6 and loves taking his Zija!! ~ Lena in Georgia

Auto-Immune Diseases

Attention and Mental Clarity

As a wild child, I was always on Ritalin for ADHD, and even now, as an adult, I use Strattera to help control mood swings and daily focus. After 6 years of romping and stomping in the United States Marine Corps I realized along the way, I had done something to my lowest vertebrae - now I know it is broken and fractured. So now I deal with constant pain on many different levels from inflammation and arthritis surrounding this injury.

As a former U.S. Marine and competitive athlete, I am also excited about health and fitness!
Since consuming the original smart drink beverage, I have cut my Straterra prescription for ADHD in half, after finding increased focus and mental clarity as many do simply from the nutrition found in Zija. I've also found a dramatic reduction in inflammation and in everyday aches and pains associated with my lower back injury and its accompanying arthritis. I immediately noticed a change in my digestive system, also reducing the pain and pressure around my broken vertebrae. I work out regularly to strengthen my back and since drinking Zija daily and XM3 as needed, Nadia and I both have noticed improved "work out" performance, more energy, and much faster muscle recovery.

I feel better. sleep better now more than ever and my wife and I have eliminated several prescription medications, saving us money. Kevin Brassell ~ Bowling Green, KY

My hyper-active 12 year old son is very smart but was not living up to his potential. Now he is leveled out and an A student. Now he tells me he can’t wait until he is old enough to do the business. I love being a part of a product and company that has the vision to truly impact the lives of so many souls and look forward to do my part in taking the message of Zija to the world. Jennifer Logsdon – Munfordville, KY

My son, Adam, was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD at the age of 7 and put on medication to treat the condition. At that point in time we did not know of any other options but medication to help with the issues he was experiencing. With great hesitation and concern we put him on the medication to see if it helped alleviate some of the issues. The medication helped some of the issues but we also started noticing some of the negative side effects of the medication that were more alarming for us. The most alarming thing was his lack of growth and weight gain and his overall health. Over the period of 6 years of being on the medication and dealing with the side effects we started looking for other options without the negative side effects.

Then I was introduced to Zija! After hearing the incredible nutrition that Zija had to offer from a natural plant source (Moringa Olefeira) I got very intrigued and wondered if this could help with his condition. We immediately got some of the product to try and as a good father I tried the product first to see how it affected me and I was blown away with the results that I was experiencing and immediately put Adam on the product. I can say over the past 2 years he has NOT been on any medication and his growth has been incredible. Along with the Zija the only other changes that we have made are to his diet.

For my son Zija has worked as good as the medication but without the negative side effects and now he was getting all his nutrition he needed each day to grow and function properly. This is very important to him because he excels in the sport of cross country and Zija has made a tremendous impact on his running as well. He has stayed much healthier, been injury free and he performs at a higher level since drinking Zija which will help him continue to excel at the sport he loves.

As a freshman this year he qualified for the state cross country meet and we are very proud of him and look forward to many great years ahead. “Adam has tremendous long distance running talent,” said Coach Henderson. “He deserves this because he dedicates himself daily to train and become faster and more competitive in every meet. He is only a freshman and he will surprise the area in the next couple of years. ”Thanks Zija!!

Blood Sugar and Diabetes

In mid January 2009 I was hospitalized with chest pains, I am a diabetic and my elevated glucose levels were out of control, it took them 4 days and numerous tests and insulin injections to get it regulated and somewhat normal. I was sent home with a hand full of prescriptions, three diabetic medications, including insulin I had to inject daily, blood pressure meds, and cholesterol meds. Mid August I started consuming Zija, and mid September I began the weight management system. I’ve lost nearly 40 pounds, tossed all but 2 of my medications haven't had an insulin shot in months, and have more energy than I’ve had in years." Neil Nunn - Hardyville, KY

I began drinking Zija in November of 2009 on the recommendations of Bobby and Anelle Melloan. After drinking Zija for one month, the pain in my hands, back and legs disappeared. Six weeks later, I noticed my blood sugar had dropped and was staying between 95-120. Before I began drinking Zija it tested anywhere from 180-190. The only thing that had changed in my diet was the Zija. I decided to do my own experiment. I thought maybe I just wanted it to work well for me, so, I went off of Zija for one month. Needless to say, the pain in my hands, back and legs came back. Not only my pain returned, but my blood sugar spike 40 points and almost returned to the high level it was before I began to drink Zija. I began drinking Zija again and taking the XM3 capsules. I now have more energy than I have ever had before. I am on Zija for life!!

Carol Craig — Sebree, KY

Does anyone know what it is like to walk again? No pain! No pain at all! So, now I can walk. It is so wonderful. Does anyone know how long I have tried to lose weight? 40 years, 3 in wheelchair, so I gained more weight. Do you know, no one has asked me in 9 months, “are you diabetic?” The swelling is gone, the puffy face is thinner and my dimples are back! WOW! I love my Zija! ~ Nancy de Marcay, February 2011

I have been doing the XM3 drink and the smart mix since last October. I have lost 17 lbs. My husband is a diabetic; his blood sugar has dropped 150 points. He was taking ibuprofen due to arthritis in his back and he no longer takes that and no longer has back pain.

Margaret Bails – Albany, KY

The product has done some amazing things for me. I have been consuming the smart drink for 14 months, I have been off my diabetes meds for 8 months, my blood pressure meds for a year, and my joint pain in my shoulder has been virtually eliminated. The opportunity has been great; the extra cash comes in handy with great opportunity for lots of growth.

David Estes – Munfordville, KY

I have been consuming Zija and XM3 for 6 weeks. I am a Diabetic and have high blood pressure. Both are maintaining a normal state. I have not taken my medication in two weeks, my feet no longer hurt, have energy, clearer mind, and no pain in wrist and back. I have lost 21.5 pounds. Love it!" ~ Kerry Ireland - Fort Meyers, FL

"Losing weight has been a battle for me. I have tried what seems like hundreds of diets--over-the-counter diet pills, junk mail weight loss plans, TV weight loss plans, weight loss plans that have been recommended by people who have tried them, book weight loss programs, etc. Nothing seemed to work. Who knows how much I have spent on these products! And on top of all that, I am a diabetic on insulin and have even gained weight from that too. I think I eat pretty healthy food. I make a homemade meal 5 or 6 days a week. I don't buy junk food and snacks because I don't want to eat them and I don't want my kids eating them. Most of the time after I eat junk food I feel sick because I'm not used to eating that kind of food.

I don't have a job outside of my home and my husband is on social security. I think you can guess what kind of income we have. I thought, well, what's the difference in buying all those other weight loss products that didn't work and spending money on Zija. I was really hoping it would work. I bought it because I heard testimonies from my own friends and saw with my own eyes what it did and can do for me. Since October 8, 2010 I have lost 27 lbs. And here's the best news: I have not taken any insulin since the first of January.. WOO HOO!!!" ~ Sharon McClure

"Thank you Zija for what you have done for my family. My mom has lost 24 pounds, off of 2 out of 3 diabetes medications, and her thyroid, which was growing A type Cells are no longer there!! My dad has lost 16 pounds and has lowered his blood pressure. My husband who has lost a pant size. And for me, I’ve dropped a pant size as well, cut back my blood pressure medication and off my prevacid (Acid Reflux Med)!!" ~Debbie Mullins

Just had my blood work done. Every thing was great all my #'s were spot on and I’m off all my diabetes meds. Thanks Zija ~ Judith Massey

If you’re a parent of a diabetic child, you are well aware of the different stages of diabetes. It seems as if once you get one stage down and figured out, the disease quickly changes. There is rarely a normal steady day.

Abbi has been on the pump for several years now. Even though it has given her more freedom in eating and has controlled her sugars a little more, it still has not provided the best of sugars. Abbi had reached another change in her diabetes that was very concerning. She had always experienced extreme thirst and nausea when her sugars were in the 300′s – 400′s. In September that changed, she began to experience this when her sugars were just in the high 100′s. She was nauseated all the time which made it very difficult on her at school. At this time, I was taking zija, a nutritional drink, to boost my immune system.

Mark Mandella, a clinical nutritionist for over 30 years, suggested that I give Abbi 1 tsp. of the zija. With in a day, we saw a change in her numbers. By the end of the week, she was bursting through the door filled with energy! We were also reducing her intake of insulin.
We have now increased her zija intake to 4 tsp. She recently has caught a cold. As you know, colds are miserable on blood sugar numbers. Usually, for Abbi her sugars will remain in the 300-400 range when she’s sick. Here are her numbers that I wrote down yesterday:
7:30 am – 186
11:05- 225
12:25 – 185
2:00 – 165
4:00 – 154
5:00 – 126

This is amazing considering that she had to come home early from school because she wasn’t feeling well. We have never had such good numbers while she was sick!!! This has given us hope for a healthier future for her and maybe for you or your child as well.

My uncle in Indiana was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago. Since he has been on Zija about 3 months, he has lost 20 lbs, went to the doctor the other day and he is off all his medications....blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar pill...another great testimony but when it is your family it means that much more...let Zija change your families life!! ~ Carley Fudge

UPDATE: MAR.27,2010: I am now 22 1/2lbs lighter, still feel amazing! Have gone off thyroid med, allergy px, diabetic pill, AND STILL NO PAIN MEDS FOR MY RA!!! I am so amazed that I praise God daily for this wonderful miracle drink! I thank Dr. Russ Bianchi for creating this, and being there when I needed advice.

Blood Pressure

My first improvement was sleep, and then came mental clarity and unlimited energy. I have lost 15 lbs. over the last year. My mother’s blood pressure has dropped along with weight loss and her oxygen level has greatly improved in her lungs. God designed the body to heal itself if we give it the nutrients it needs. I truly love to help people get off prescriptions and improve their health. Susan Howard – Hodgenville, KY

I recently completed my first marathon. When I started training I had the worst joint pain. I started using Zija and had no more joint pain. I am now off all my medication except for my M.S. shot. That means no more HBP meds or anxiety meds. Praise God for what Zija has done for me! Dave Levee – Crestwood, KY

Thanks for the opportunity to share just some of the results that I have had since being on Zija. Let me start by saying as a former athlete and catcher for 15 plus years I have suffered knee and back pain for quite some time. Even to the point of taking 8-10 ibuprofen a day and still not getting much relief. Last year I started on blood pressure meds due to slightly elevated blood pressure from many of the stresses of everyday life. I am most excited to share that I recently had a complete blood work done and was able to compare it to one from exactly a year ago. I am excited to see in black and white some of the positive results from consuming Zija since Oct. My total cholesterol went from 181 to 154, triglycerides 128 to 73, LDL/HDL ratio went from 2.6 to 2.2 and I am also no longer on blood pressure meds and nothing for joint or back pain. I am so thankful for the friend and now my business partner that introduced me to Zija." Chris Rogers - Hodgenville, KY

"The product has done some amazing things for me.

To say I had reservations when it came to multi-level marketing was an understatement!

TODAY I stand before you a converted soul! I began taking the Weight Management System and in a little over 6 months I'm taking none of my Metformin (2000mg a day)! I no longer have to take my BP medicine and I've lost 46 lbs! We now give Zija to all three of our kids and my daughter drinks the XM3 drink before basketball games. My youngest son's pediatrician literally pulled my wife aside and asked her if we had changed doctors because my son (who used to frequent their office) hadn't been there in such a long time!
We are literally Zija users “For Life”! ~ C. Buck, Tennessee

Cancer

Chasity Stokes was diagnosed with stage four cancer in November of 2009. I gave Chasity exactly 2 boxes of Zija plus 3 individual packs. Chasity took a half a pack of the Zija Smart mix and her father and brother drank the balance of what she had left over. Chasity under went chemo therapy and had surgery that was to last four hours, the surgeon was going to remove as much of the softball sized tumor as he could, which had attached itself to the main artery of her heart, her liver, her kidney and her colon.

Once the surgeon had opened her up he found the tumor was completely unattached from all her organs and was less than half the size of a golf ball. He was astounded! He completely searched the little girls body for the tumor and to his great amazement it was gone! The side affects she was supposed to experience from the chemotherapy never happened! The surgeon said, ”I have never seen a stage 4 tumor shrink like that!!” The Zija product is the best! I highly recommend it !! ~ Charles Stokes

Zija found me. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor July 14, 2009. Not wanting to take the usual route of radiation, operations, etc., I looked into alternate methods that might help my situation. I went to San Diego and got some herbs that have shown promise to reduce/eliminate the tumor. Upon returning home, Peggy Rice called me and said I had to talk to a man named Russ Bianchi. She told him of my situation and he wanted me to call him. I did and not only did he tell me about nutritional changes I needed to make to prevent this tumor from growing and eventually disappear. Additionally, he told about Zija and was so passionate about the product, knowing that it had the nutritional ingredients that I needed. As of January 14, 2010, my tumor which is more or less inoperable has been stable.

Having finished my last round of chemo therapy about six months ago, I am now an official cancer survivor! I know that my health was more than a little compromised by the chemo and I am now the proud owner of a laundry list that Zija has provided to me in just two short weeks. In the first two days I had more energy, and felt physically and mentally better than I had in years.

You almost need to be in your sixties to appreciate my next discovery! I originally blamed my forgetfulness on "chemo brain", however, after about a week of Zija I was traveling from the back of the house to the front and not forgetting what I was after! HUGE... For the last eighteen years I owned a restaurant and if I would sit with the customers more than ten minutes, when I went to get up I would be stiff and ache. That has completely stopped, my craving sweets has gone away, I am now caffeine free after a pot a day for twenty years!

Due to the type of breast cancer I had I am now taking a drug called arimedex. One of the lovely side affects is the return of the ever wonderful "hot flash", or at least it was till this incredible nutritional balance happened with Zija.

Last, but I'm sure not the least, one of the chemo drugs I had taken caused my legs to swell to twice their normal size by the end of every day for the past year. I can't even begin to tell you how very blessed I am to have my circulation back to normal and all pain gone!

I honestly believe that if I had been on Zija before I got breast cancer, that I never would have gotten it at all. ~ Alice - Buckeye Lake, OH

Stephanie Lally – Crestwood, KY

Zija is a drink I started buying for my son to take who had cancer. He said it made him feel better. I decided to start drinking it myself due to high blood pressure, stiff joints. I began to feel better and have more energy. Zija is a drink I will stay on.

Elizabeth Bell – Hodgenville, KY

My pastor's father has had 2 rounds with cancer. What we discovered through his experience was Zija helps the recovery time from chemo as well as enhances the affects of the drugs being used to attack the cancer. The tea is great, too, to help rid the body of the extra toxins. He has defeated cancer twice. - Dick, McDonough, GA

Cholesterol

Since taking this product I have noticed an increase in energy levels for myself as well as decreased joint and muscle pain. My wife as I mentioned is a physical therapist and she trains quite heavily, she enjoys all of the benefits that I mentioned above also. The testimony that I am most proud of is the fact that my Mother and my Father are both off of their blood pressure and their cholesterol medication for the first time in 10 years as a result of drinking this beverage." Rodney Armes - Hodgenville, KY

My goal was to regain some energy and be healthier. After six weeks of the drink my cholesterol went from 263 to 146. My doctor was amazed and so was I. My husband lost 2 inches in his waist after just six weeks. We both have more energy.

Debbie Fleming – Lexington, KY

After ONE MONTH on Zija, had my bloodwork done for my 6 month checkup. Results? Triglycerides DOWN 40 points. Fasting blood sugar level down to 101, from 121. Overall cholesterol down 10 points with the GOOD cholesterol up a point. Haven't lost much weight yet (Dr's scale shows 5 pounds, mine shows 7... oh well! LOL!) Very pleased with the way I feel. ~ Sue Caton

Thanks for the opportunity to share just some of the results that I have had since being on Zija. Let me start by saying as a former athlete and catcher for 15 plus years I have suffered knee and back pain for quite some time. Even to the point of taking 8-10 ibuprofen a day and still not getting much relief. Last year I started on blood pressure meds due to slightly elevated blood pressure from many of the stresses of everyday life. I am most excited to share that I recently had a complete blood work done and was able to compare it to one from exactly a year ago. I am excited to see in black and white some of the positive results from consuming Zija since Oct. My total cholesterol went from 181 to 154, triglycerides 128 to 73, LDL/HDL ratio went from 2.6 to 2.2 and I am also no longer on blood pressure med and nothing for joint or back pain. I am so thankful for the friend and now my business partner that introduced me to Zija." Chris Rogers - Hodgenville, KY

My Cholesterol was 199. It is steady at 145 now with ZIJA!!"

Carolyn Bez - Fort Meyers, FL

My uncle in Indiana was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago. Since he has been on Zija about 3 months, he has lost 20 lbs, went to the doctor the other day and he is off all his medications....blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar pill...another great testimony but when it is your family it means that much more...let Zija change your families life!! Carley Fudge

Back Pain Testimonials

After being forced out of a 13 yr. career in the U.S. Marine Corps due to medical problems, I had gained some weight and my medical problems worsened. I had a degenerative disc; a disc removed from my neck, a shoulder impingement, arthritic knees, a hip impingement, and surgically repaired hand. The aches and pains were unbearable and I had no energy. After consuming Zija I noticed considerable improvements. Less aches and pains, more energy, and I was losing weight. The opportunity has allowed me to help others and put money back in my pocket. Joel Extine – Bowling Green, KY

My name is Dr. Johnnie Green and my background is in Chiropractic. As a former collegiate athlete, I participated in every event from the 400 meter dash to the 10,000 meter run as well as some field events. Although, I was able to have a successful 4 year track & field career, I suffered from 5 stress fractures during that time frame and pain had become a norm. The results--I had severe tendonitis after graduation.

In April 2007, I was introduced to the Zija by Mr. Mike Sims. After taking two cans of the product per day for 4 days, the tendonitis had diminished. In addition to that, before I only ate breakfast about twice a week, and I was never a "morning person." Although, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I was constantly missing out and my energy levels were always down. However, I have witnessed a significant increase in my energy levels, and I am now more focus than ever. I am sleeping better at night, my metabolism has altered, and my diet is so much healthier. -Dr. Johnnie Green, Beattyville, KY

Greetings my name is Dale Taylor and it is by no accident that you are reading this testimony of what Zija has done for me and could do for you....On March 5, 1998, I was caught in a avalanche while snowmobiling in the back country of Wyoming, knowing what an avalanche can do to a full grown tree, may give you some perspective as what It did to me.... As a result of this accident I have four compression fractures in my back, L2, T5, T7 and T12. Unfortunately I suffered other injuries as well, for example I have neither meniscus nor cartilage in either knee and multiple screw pins and plates to hold it all together.

Why am I telling you this? Because before Zija was introduced to me I was consuming on an average 0f 2800 to 3200 Mg of Ibuprofen for the pain daily! Upon consuming 2 cans of the Zija beverage for a time period of three weeks, I not only became pain free but have remained pain free. No Ibuprofen, no prescription medication, no pain since September 5 of 2006. I have had other positive results from Zija ranging from sleep to digestion and even energy but the absence of pain has been the true blessing in my life.

Due to the fact that I have had tremendous results from this amazing product I felt that it would be a disservice to not share it with everyone that I came in contact with, so I did just that. I was so passionate about what this had done for me that I went crazy sharing this product and opportunity with all my friends, my family and even people that I had never met! I shared so many times that I have received the award for the Top Recruiter for all of Zija International for the third year in a row 2009.

In closing let me say this, Zija is the perfect storm! Opportunities like this only come around once in a life time! Don't miss your calling to greatness, join us now and let us help you create the lifestyle you desire. ~ Dale Taylor, Tucson, AZ

I have been drinking Zija now for approximately 3 weeks and I've never felt better! I have much more energy throughout the day and I've slept better than I have in years. I have actually lost about 7 lbs. and the pain in my right knee & my back has completely subsided.
Like most people, I was a little skeptical about Zija when I first heard about it's amazing benefits and the many success stories from people all across Kentucky. But after much research and consideration, I couldn't be happier with my decision to join the Zija family. Trust me, if this wasn't the BEST product on the market, I wouldn't be using, supporting and sharing Zija with you. Thanks. ~Chris Crain – Glasgow, KY

"I prayed to God that I could find something that would help my back. Some day’s I can’t walk. My sister called me and told me about Zija. Since I have been taking it I am down to one pain pill a day with the Zija drink mix." ~ Freddie Thrasher – Louisville, KY

I began drinking Zija in Sep. of 2008. Because of it I no longer take pain meds and I have had 2 knee operations, bulging disc in my neck and just general wear and tear on my body. My whole being is so much better not just physically but emotionally as well. This is one product I will use the rest of my life. The skin care line has also had a big impact on my face, I can see the years of abuse slowly being reversed. Feeling great and looking great. Verda Hacker – Hodgenville, KY

At a Zija presentation I met 29 yr old man from Tennessee. He was a former pr baseball player for the FLA Marlins, and at age 24 suffered a serious injury. The doctors performed surgery and he did not recover. He had been walking with a cane for the past 4-1/2 years and cant bend, squat, sit on the floor and get back up, etc. He had never played with his son... he is now 29 yrs old... was always on heavy pain killers and told he wold suffer this condition for life.. He started drinking Zija just 2 months ago, is now walking with out a cane, (I saw him) very straight, not hunched over, no limp, and can play with his son for the first time. He told this story in front of 350 people and not a dry eye in the room as he told it.

At another Zija meeting, I heard a testimonial from a young man telling his personal story several times. MAY 8, 2010 - He was on a new swing shift and wasnt used to the hours, driving home at 3am he fell asleep at wheel and crashed into a concrete culvert at 60 mph. He woke up in the dark & was totally disoriented, and his glasses were missing, his cell phone too... but lying by his feet, there was a flashlight and it was ON, so he grabbed it and crawled out to the road, and started crawling, not sure which direction to go, not certain where he was at. He came to a house, and apparently was in shock and didnt know he was hurt. He knocked and to his surprise, his girlfriend answered. He didnt even know he was at her house until he saw her. He said, "just let me go to bed, I'm tired" and didnt want to go to the hospital. She said to him, "you are bleeding all over the place, you are going"; and he was admitted to the hospital, he had a broken back, punctured kidney, punctured lung, several broken ribs, broken clavical, and was bleeding all over from many lacerations.

Afterward, he had to take off a lot of time from work to recover, then went broke, so he went back to work, but was in so much pain, he took 8 Loratabs at a time - several times a day, and was too disoriented to really work or concentrate and he was still in an enormous amount of pain.... he was depressed, broke, strung out, etc... then he heard about and tried Zija, and after 3 months is pain free, on NO pain pills, and is now lifting weights and feeling great.

Renal Failure / Dialysis

Hi, my name is Paul Blankenship. I want to share my Zija Story. Life seems to throw some tough situations at us from time to time. My life did that about a year ago. My kidneys stopped functioning properly and I had to start receiving dialysis in order to keep the toxins out of my blood. I have been going to the doctor 3 days per week for treatments that can last up to 5 hours a day. My kidneys were only functioning at 10%. The doctor pretty much told me that, in all reality, I would probably be on dialysis for the rest of my life.

Several months ago my step daughter, Shirley Bennett, was introduced to a product called Zija. She began taking it and saw some amazing results with some of her health issues. I decided to try the product. After one week of using the smart mix product the doctor noticed a difference in my blood work. He told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. I thought, well it can’t hurt anything. Then soon after that, Shirley came to me after a friend of ours saw Dr. Russ Bianchi.

She said that there had been a story about someone being able to stop the need for dialysis. We emailed Dr. Bianchi who stated that he did not prevent, diagnose, or cure diseases. He could however, make a suggestion on how to use the proper nutrition in Zija to help me with my problem. After 5 weeks of following the regiment that Russ suggested, my doctor has told me that I will not need to come in for my next dialysis appointment. My kidney is taking care of cleaning my blood again like it should. I am completely amazed that this product has been able to help me.

Imagine the relief that I feel knowing that I can have the opportunity to have my life back. Currently, I just have to go in to have my blood work done to insure that everything is still working properly. With Zija, I hope to be able to eliminate the need for that visit as well.

I want to thank Russ Bianchi for developing it and taking the time to help people improve their lives. Zija has been such a blessing. It is an amazing opportunity to help people with some of those tough situations that come our way from time to time. I look forward to sharing this amazing product and opportunity with others. Paul Blankenship, - KY

"My miraculous story began on 11/19/2008 when I was diagnosed with 4th stage renal disease and emergency Vascular Surgery was preformed two days afterward (11/20/2008). A routine visit to the Nephrologist revealed that my condition had advanced to the 5th stage, and I would have to go on dialysis. I then inquired if there were any natural or alternative remedies that would help this condition. I was bluntly told that the options were a kidney transplant or dialysis.

I reluctantly began receiving Hemodialysis on 7/21/2009. Because of my strong faith, I decided to search for a natural healing and went to a Herb Shop. I was introduced to Zija Smart Mix. Although I did not purchase any product, I remember how good I felt the rest of that day after trying a sample.

Faith had it that I should be using it, so about three months later, my neighbor came to me very excited to share this amazing product that she thought would be able to help me; she invited me to a meeting where I would learn more about it. I decided to go to the meeting because of her excitement and because I vaguely remembered the name from my first encounter with the product at the herb shop.

In the process of attending the meeting, I reconnected with the gentleman that had first introduced me to Zija. I started using Zija in early November and got phenomenal results. I have lost fifteen minutes each month from my treatment time. Today I am down one hour from where I started. The doctor scratches his head trying to figure out this unusual medical event. Other patients are stopping me wanting to know what I am doing different. I share and introduce Moringa Oleifera into their lives because everyone has the potential to have good health." ~ Bridgette

My sister in MD is on dialysis 3 days weekly and has been using half pack Zija powder daily. She received all happy faces last week because all her tests showed improvements and this had NEVER happened before! ~ Jeannette in Hampton, GA

Pain Testimonials

I began the Smart Mix 3 months ago suffering with severe pain in my hip and in my legs. I really think I was suffering with fiber myalgia but just kept silent with my pain. I started slipping into depression and was beginning to not be very nice anymore. Zija has changed my life. I feel better than I have felt in 2 years and completely pain free. I want to tell the world about Zija and how it will change their life. Angela Scurlock – Lebanon, TN

I hurt my right knee in March of 2009. I was unable to bend this knee for months. In September I started to take Zija and within 3 weeks was able to fully bend my knee. I hadn’t changed anything else than taking Zija. As a nurse I see people taking a lot of prescription medications, while getting sicker. With the results I have had from Zija and the testimonies of others I know this is a product worth sharing. Tracy Grisez – Linwood, KY

I have been taking the smart mix for two months. In the 1st 5 days I could feel my Planters worts in my right foot dissolving. The pain I had been experiencing was going away. Now the pain has gone entirely. I'm back to enjoying walking the dogs and dancing! ~ Glenn Wilson - Concord, California

Skin Problems

MRSA Staph

I was introduced to Zija at the point in my life when I was the sickest I had ever been. I had been fighting an illness for almost a full year to discover that I was fighting MRSA Staph. I was seeing an infectious disease doctor who had me taking 4 antibiotics a day. When I took these antibiotics, I would become so ill that I no longer prayed for healing; instead, I prayed for death. Although this may sound severe, I was progressively getting worse because taking the antibiotics made me ill and the MRSA was spreading throughout my body. I was so ill that I had not even been able to see my children for two months. Mary called me and Jay to come hear about Zija. When I arrived with Jay, I was given a 3 oz. shot of XM3 drink.

Within 5 minutes, I felt better then I had in 2 months; I even had a little energy. I signed up for auto ship and began drinking 2 cans of Smart Drink a day. Because of a background of whole foods and nutrition from age 13 to 17, I had faith in whole food nutritional healing. Because I was getting worse while taking the antibiotics, I chose to discontinue all meds that day and do only Zija. Within 2 weeks I had energy; but more important, I had rid my body of almost every sign of MRSA. I still have scars from the MRSA but I have not had one symptom of it again! I continue with one can a day as I have done after 2 cans a day for 2 weeks. The MRSA is dormant and continues to remain dormant. Thanks to Zija, I have my life back and my kids have their mother back again. ~ Amy Bradshaw, Smithfield, VA

Zija oil. . . Kept me from having plastic surgery!

I was bitten by a black widow spider on my cheek Oct. 21st, 2009. Anyone familiar with black widow bites knows the venom eats a whole through the skin. This is what was taking place in my cheek and the whole was boaring through to the inside of my mouth. I was advised by the Emergency Room Doctor I would have to have plastic surgery. Luckily, my husband and I were able to go to the national Convention where they launched the skin care line. I immediately went back to my room and followed the entire regimen. All the products are absolutely amazing and provide a feeling to my skin I have never felt before. My favorite product by far is the Zija Oil! I started using the Zija Oil 8 to 12 times a day on my black widow spider bite and in three weeks my wound had completely closed. I have a “slight” demarcation on my cheek now, but it is not visible with make-up. My two children and I also have eczema pretty severely and with the use of Zija Oil our skin is clear and free of eczema!

I am a licensed cosmetologist and have used many professional skin care products. The GenM line is far superior to any products of professional grade; because of the Moringa infusion in each individual product provides nutrition for your skin. You owe it to yourself to protect your skin from the everyday pollutants in the air. Invest in yourself and your skin...invest in the GenM kit! ~ Tiffany Spratt - Hodgenville, KY

~ ~ ~

I have bad eczema on my arms and legs. After a couple weeks of using Zija my inflammations are down and it's clearing up with the help of the Zija oil. I have become a new distributor b/c I believe in the great product. The skin care is proving to be quite an asset with me too!! ~ Stephanie Leonard Wohnhas

Sinus & Congestion

I’m skeptical by nature… My position as an assistant professor of business makes me skeptical of product claims and marketing spin. I began taking Zija on Dec 16, 2004 on a whim. My relocation to take my latest academic job in July of 2003 led to almost 18 months of one SINUS INFECTION after another. The vitamin supplements that had worked so well for me before the move couldn’t seem to keep my system healthy anymore. I heard about Zija and decided to give it a try. I ceased taking the vitamin supplements and glucosamin/chondroitin when I began Zija because I wanted to know what Zija could do for me without any complications from other nutritional products. After about five and a half weeks, several remarkable things have happened.

First, by the evening of December 19th at a Christmas party, I realized that my appetite had changed. The row of Christmas desserts at the party didn’t look interesting to me. That was very unusual, and it took me several minutes of wondering why I wasn’t eating them before I made the connection to three days of taking Zija. Since then, my craving for sweets has remained very low to non-existent. Frankly, I’m eating less and eating better just because my appetite has changed so significantly.

Next, on a holiday vacation, I was engaged in physical exercise that was very atypical for me. For the last several years, exercising muscles that haven’t been challenged much has resulted in severe soreness for me, to the point of almost being crippled for three to four days afterwards. However, when I was discussing my holiday activities with family members, I suddenly realized that I wasn’t sore at all. I thought that was perhaps a fluke event. However, after returning home in early January, a heavy snowfall led to two hours of snow shoveling for myself and my neighbors. Again, no soreness bothered me after that event. Frankly, I still can’t believe it, but I sure do enjoy it.

So, in a little over five weeks, I’ve had five great improvements in my well-being and physical condition, and that sure has improved my attitude, too.

Thanks for bringing this product to market. I know that no product is a magic bullet for everyone, but I’m strongly recommending this product to my family and friends in the hope that they will also have the Zija experience I’ve enjoyed. It’s been amazing. David Flint, Ph.D.

Too Much Tylenol!

A friend introduced me to Zija a few weeks ago. I was taking 24-30 Tylenol a day to deal with pain and inflammation. I can't take anti-inflammatories because they cause my throat to close. I am now falling asleep without taking Tylenol p.m. at night. I have had a nasty cough for over a year and have tried everything to rid myself of this cough. After starting 2 packs of Zija a day and the miracle tea, the cough went away! My mood and mental clarity has greatly improved since starting Zija. I am dealing with stress better. I have been dealing with Traumatic Stress Disorder and panic attacks and stress attacks--now feeling much better. I have been to see 30 doctors in the past 18 months trying to get help with my conditions. weight loss--7 lbs on the smart mix and tea. I've been on the product for two months. -Day K., California

I have been taking the smart mix for two months. In the 1st 5 days I could feel my Planters worts in my right foot dissolving. The pain I had been experiencing was going away. Now the pain has gone entirely. I'm back to enjoying walking the dogs and dancing! ~ Glenn Wilson

Chrones Disease; Liver Disorder

I have had Crohn’s disease since I was 16, with 2 surgeries taking out 18 inches of my colon but my symptoms always came back. Since starting Zija I have been symptom free. I have lost 14 lbs. and have not even tried to lose any weight.

Jolene Waldrep – Harrodsburg, KY

For as long as I can remember I have had abdominal pain that no one could ever figure out. After many visits to many different doctors I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease in 2001. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s an inflammatory bowel disease and an auto immune disorder which means your immune system turns on itself and attacks different organs or systems in your own body. Mine just happen to be in my intestines. Since that time I have been put on 11 different medications with an unknown amount of horrible side effects, and have been through so many tests I have lost count and those tests have their own set of side effects. I have never had any long term relief of my symptoms, and in 2004 I was getting worse. I went in for a laproscopically, which means they go in a small hole in your abdomen just to look around. However, when my surgeon took the first look he had to open my abdomen up. The ulcerations were too large and I had what are called fisulas coming from my small intestine tunneling to other organs/areas. They had to remove 12 inches of my colon and my appendix. During recovery my liver went into failure, and no one could figure out what was wrong with it including the clinic where my liver was sent. My skin and eyes were turning yellow and my skin was also itching very badly. I ended up finding out that I had another auto immune disorder of the liver where my bile ducts harden and scar down and this causes the bile that is supposed to go through my liver to back up into my system/skin. This is secondary to my crohns disease so if it’s treated appropriately then my liver disease will also be treated. However, we still hadn’t found anything to treat my crohns disease sufficiently. Over the years I have come to my wits end. I was heading for another surgery and the symptoms were getting worse. My marriage was affected as well as my children and their needs and because my immune system was so compromised my health was continuing to decline with a number of different diagnosis such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol/triglycerides, chronic nausea, kidney stones, acid reflux with ulcerations in my esophagus, insomnia and I could go on and on.

On October 12th, 2009 Brian Wentz and Jason Keltner told me about Zija. I started drinking the cans, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I was also taking one XM3 capsule a day. I have not had any symptoms, not one, since October 14th, 2009. I have been able to discontinue several of my medications, I no longer have to take vitamins or anything for my allergies, insomnia, acid reflux, nausea and I am working on going off the others. Zija has improved my quality of life, my family, and my marriage. It was like I was awake for the first time since I could remember. No more pain, no more itching, and no more fatigue. I have also lost 30 lbs. in a little over 3 months. I have also had blood work done and my cholesterol came down 90 points. My triglycerides came down 115 points and my liver enzymes are lower than they have ever been. I cannot say enough about the benefits of Zija. I am so thankful to God for putting the people in my life that led me to Zija. Make a change in your life today, TRY ZIJA!!!! Kelly Shope – Harrodsburg, KY

Lupus

My Lupus story started about 25+ years ago. I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus, Sjogren's and Reynaud's. I have been on prednisone for those 25+ years anywhere from 10-60 mg along with many other prescriptions. I had tried other products but always got discouraged with the inconvenience and/or the taste. In July I was introduced to ZIJA, Yeah! It's easy to take and it tastes great. Just rip open the packet and dump in a bottle of water or pop a tab on the can. How easy is that? Finally I found something that I can be consistent with and I was able to get down to 5 mg prednisone and one other prescription instead of the 7 or 8 prescriptions I had been on for hypothyroidism, depression, circulation problems, etc.

As of the end of March 2010 I have completely reduced my prednisone intake. YEAH I no longer am tied to a prescription bottle!

My most convincing experience with Zija was Labor day weekend '09. I had traveled 5 hours to be with my family and to go camping. About an hour and a half from home realized that I had forgot all my prescriptions. I was not about to ask my son to turn around and go back home...we were already 3 hours late. I figured I would test out this new product... I went hiking, 4-wheeling, slept in the tent for 3 nights (1 night in wind & rain) and had no muscle or joint soreness or swelling. I felt great, NO Pain.

Another wonderful benefit that I have experience with taking Zija is I have been able to lose the 22 lbs. that I had gained after having surgery three years. This was weight that I had tried to lose without success until I was introduced to Zija. I credit combining the Zija Smart Mix with the XM3 drink for my weight loss. ~ Loreena James, Montana

It's raining, chilly, and my friends, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus usually keeps me in bed on days like today. THANK YOU ZIJA for keeping my body in motion!!!!! ~ Tami Conner Byrdstown, Tennessee

LUPUS, FIBROMYALGIA, BLOOD PRESSURE, ETC.

I have never considered myself a health fanatic. I take the usual assortment of vitamins and supplements, but it’s never been a big focus for me. I’m not generally interested in multi-level marketing endeavors. So why, you might ask, am I involved in Zija? First of all, I’ve personally experienced a quantum improvement in my health after only one month of use.
I’ve had chronic, cutaneous lupus for over 10 years, using strong corticosteroids creams, the kind that warn, “Do not use on the face unless instructed by your doctor.” For this, I was also taking the anti-malarial drug, Plaquenil®, two different tetracycline pills, plus various antibiotic and retinoid creams. After one month of drinking Zija and also using it topically, the lesions are all but healed. I stopped using all lupus medications when I started using Zija.
I had been taking blood pressure medication for five years. Now I take none, and my blood pressure is normal.
I was taking Cymbalta®, a new designer drug approved for fibromyalgia. Now I take none, and I have no pain, no chronic exhaustion, and no numbness or tingling in my hands and feet.
I was taking 60 mg/day of Armour® for thyroid. I don’t need it anymore.
I used to spend at least an hour waking up, drinking coffee and trying to get focused. Now I get out of bed alert and energetic. Sometimes I even forget to drink my coffee. My family can attest to the difference in that behavior. My motto used to be, “Give me my coffee and no one gets hurt!”

My sleep was often disturbed and eight hours used to be just barely enough for me. Now I sleep like a baby and wake up refreshed after six hours, eager to start the day. And I’m no longer fighting off the urge to sleep as I sit at my desk in mid-afternoon.

So, why not just buy the product, why be involved in the business? My three reasons...
1. The retail cost of drinking Zija for a month is less than half the retail cost of all the prescriptions I was using. However, because our health-care system does not cover nutritional supplements (no matter how effective they are), my net cost is more expensive. Participating as a distributor provides the opportunity to get my Zija paid for.
2. This product is too good to keep to myself! I have provided samples to my friends and family and they want to be in on it too. The Moringa really is a “miracle tree,” but who’s going to believe it until they have experienced it? I certainly didn’t.
3. I truly believe that by expanding the use of Zija, I am contributing to better mental and physical health for my community, adding vibrancy, joy and well-being to the world, and creating peace and prosperity. —Shannon D.

Multiple Sclerosis

"The radiologist said it looks like M.S. You already have 15 to 20 scars on your brain and some are in the cerebellum." So I had my cry and went on. I still had mom to take care of. I seen a neurologist and treatment begins. Mom passed away the following April 2006. I had gotten to a point I felt like I had no strength left for anything. I would take my kids to school, get back home and sleep most of the day. I sometimes would have to pull off the road coming back home from taking them to school because I could not stay awake. The doctor put me on a strong prescription, considered a controlled substance, to keep me awake. It worked and the side effects were terrible. I have always prayed that there would be something out there that could help me and believe me I have tried everything.

My sister-n-law (Teresa Thompson) introduced me to Zija. I went to a meeting with her and heard one of my friends (Pat Luttrell) give her testimony. That was it because I knew how sick she had been a few years ago. I knew what she was saying was true. I may always be on my injection which is Copaxone but now I actually have my life back without the medications. Zija keeps me awake now and keeps me going and I can do things I want to do. I just want everyone to know that there is something out there to help. ZIJA! I am on the Zija smart drink and capsules. I am also on the Zija tea for other health issues. I feel so much better and have also lost 14 lbs. in two months. I want everyone to know what this can do for you. Please, for yourself, try it. ~ Lesa Owens - Windsor, KY

Fybromyalgia

"I began taking Zija four months ago. In just five days had no symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and went off 12 pills a day. After 15 years of being in a chronic state of pain, 24 x 7, I felt like I was 90 yrs old. It was painful to move. with no relief at night, as I awakened on an hourly basis from the pain and had trouble falling back asleep, leaving me in a constate state of exhaustion. Since I began taking Zija I now sleep through the night and wake up feeling good with more energy than I have had in two decades. Now after 3 months on Zjia I have lost weight, no longer have IBS, depression, exhaustion, or sleep disorder. My mental clarity and eyesight has improved. I continue to feel better every day. ~ Susan Ambrose, Russellville

"I began the Smart Mix 3 months ago suffering with severe pain in my hip and in my legs. I really think I was suffering with fibromyalgia but just kept silent with my pain. I started slipping into depression and was beginning to not be very nice anymore. Zija has changed my life. I feel better than I have felt in 2 years and completely pain free. I want to tell the world about Zija and how it will change their life." ~ Angela Scurlock – Lebanon, TN

"I started drinking Zija in December of 2008. I had scoliosis as a child and developed arthritis and fibromyalgia. Within 2 months my pain was gone and also the swelling in my left knee. I was told my husband would be in a wheelchair by December 2009, he is still going, still walking. Thank you Russ Bianchi! My husband is a preacher, a farmer but no longer drives a school bus. We know Zija is keeping him pain free and on his feet. We take no prescription drugs. "
Sue Underwood – Canmer, KY

“I just started drinking Zija Smart Mix almost 2 weeks ago. I have already seen a big difference in my health, energy level, and pain level! I have a problem with muscle weakness, extreme exhaustion, and Fibromyalgia type symptoms. I can barely climb stairs, and have little or no strength not only in my legs but entire body. I get so tired I can barely move, my muscles quiver, legs and arms feel like they weight a ton, and it takes a lot of concentration just to get up from a chair. In the past I’ve had problems with depression from my overall condition. I have taken other things for this and nothing has worked completely. When I started Zija, I quit taking every thing else.

Its just amazing how much more mental clarity that I have, and generally as a whole, I have energy, a much better attitude, and my pain is gone. It has lifted my spirits…. I feel happy! It already has helped me in two weeks with my mental clarity and attitude. ~ C. Miller, Lewisburg, KY

"I’ve been drinking Zija daily for about seven months and can tell a big difference in my over-all health. I want to eat healthier; I don't have a desire for soft drinks nor other empty calorie snacks. I have gone from about 3 diet cokes a day to an average of 1 every two days. My fibromyalgia flare-ups are less frequent. When I am really tired from my three jobs a shot of XM3 gives me energy without making me feel anxious or "caffeinated". I really never thought a little can once a day could make the difference, but although they are subtle, they are evident. " ~ Michael Radford - Fort Meyers, FL

I am a 45 year old mom of three. A son 22, a son 14 and a daughter 9. I have M.S. and several other health problems. I have been on a number of medications to try to help the conditions. I was very active as a child. I cheered and did gymnastics all through school and continued to be active after marriage. About a year after I had my first child I began having a few health problems. As time went on in my early 30's I noticed I did not have as much strength in my hands and some other small things. I had my third child at the age of 37. Everything was so gradual I didn't see something like this happening. My mom took sick in April of 2003 and passed away in April of 2006. I was the main care giver and it became to be a very hard and stressful time, as many people know. In the summer of 2005, my mom's last summer here on earth, stress was hard to deal with more and more. That summer the entire left side of my face dropped the corner of my eye, my check and the left corner of my mouth was downward and slightly drawn. At first the doctor thought it could be Bell's Palsy from the stress and it did pull back up. But, it happened again, this time it stayed for several days and there was also a heavy feeling all the way down. Now the doctor ordered an MRI, but still did not think much would show. I remember the way his voice sounded when he told me the results. " The radiologist said it looks like M.S. You already have 15 to 20 scars on your brain and some are in the cerebellum." So I had my cry and went on. I still had mom to take care of. I seen a neurologist and treatment begins. Mom passed away the following April 2006.

In August of 2000, I was in a severe car accident. That day is etched in my memory because that was the beginning of the pain that has plagued me for 10 years. Even though I recovered from the car accident, I could never recover from the chronic fatigue and the body aches that were sometimes crippling. Several years ago, my pain was finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia.

As the years went by, the pain would increase in severity. It was painful just to smile. The muscles around my ribs would tighten and ache so much that it felt as if I were going to be crushed. It hurt just to breathe. My skin became sensitive to clothes. Every Christmas, my family would search the stores for the softest sweaters and shirts for me.

Normal activities, such as carrying dinner plates, were becoming more and more difficult for me to do. Life was becoming one of survival not enjoyment.

Then a friend introduced me to Zija, a nutritional product packed with 32 anti - inflammatories. With much skepticism, I decided to try the product. My health was only getting worse and the doctor's could not help anymore. Three weeks after starting Zija, I was playing basketball with my children at 6:30 at night! The next day, I had no pain or stiffness! My energy level has greatly improved and my pain is nearly gone!

The proper nutrition given to my body has brought about great improvements in such a short time. It is a miracle! That's why Zija is a nutritional miracle because it comes from the Moringa Tree also known as the Miracle Tree! --Kristen Z., WA

Hi, I am a 55 year old mother and grandmother. Growing up I enjoyed good health. At age 25 my world began to tilt and eventually spun beyond my control. Suddenly, I was changing; moodiness, insomnia, hormone changes, muscle weakness, terrible headache and body aches, and a weight gain of 20 pound in one month. Eventually, I gained over 100 pounds. During this time I was going to the doctor and specialist to find answers. Finally, after seven years the answer was; Cushing’s disease. All these problems were created by a small tumor in the pituitary area of the brain. I had surgery, was cured and life began to return to normal. Then 18 months later health problems began again seven years later I was diagnosed with Cushing’s again. During the second surgery the doctors were unable to locate the tiny, but mighty tumor. They decided to remove the pituitary. Lab results showed I still had Cushing’s. So the doctors decided on aggressive treatment. I received one large dose of radiation instead of 30 daily treatments. After the second bout of Cushing’s I was still overweight and had insomnia, plus now I had fibromyalgia.

As a result, I have been physically running on empty for 30 years. Each day I have had to push myself to go to work and take care of my family. As the years past it became more difficult. I began to feel that my body was just a hull, a shell, with virtually no energy. I rarely had a full night's sleep. I spent many nights in the recliner waiting for morning, when I began the day more exhausted than the day before. The last few years I have done the basic household chores and hoped no one asked for more I had gradually stopped going out socially with my husband. I just wanted to be home. My recliner was my nest. My goal each day was to settle in my nest and hope not to have to move. I love and enjoy my family and thankfully they have been loving and understanding. One day at work, I overheard Mrs. Lydia Coffey speaking of something she was taking. She was saying that she felt so good and it had had such a positive impact on her health. I was drawn to her. I needed to know what magic she had found. She shared her story and I began Zija. Excitedly, I waited to feel its impact. One week went by nothing. Then more days and weeks followed, I didn't feel better. Lydia continued to encourage me. I didn't understand what could be wrong.

Then two months after beginning Zija, I woke up and I felt so good! As days pass, my body felt stronger, I had energy, my sleep greatly improved. I was standing taller, straighter, and walking with a purpose. Hallelujah, no pain from fibromyalgia! Years ago the doctor's said my thyroid would eventually die and I was already having troubles but recently at my annual checkup I had normal readings. I believe it took two months to feel the effects of Zija because my body had had so much wear and tear that I needed a "big" repair job. I feel the best I have felt in 30 years. From the beginning of Cushing's disease I have kept a sense of internal stress all the time.

Now, I feel peaceful. My goals and the activities I enjoyed 30 years ago have returned. It is as if I have found myself again. For so long I felt like a slug, just dragging my body. Now, I feel such sense of freedom. Each day, I am in awe of how good I feel. Don't be discouraged if you don’t feel results quickly, be patient and keep following the plan. Always, I wanted to live to be with my family and friends but, I never expected to feel this sense of joy in life again. I believe there can be a "Miracle" waiting for you, too!"

Digestion, Stomach, Intestinal Issues

My wife, Jennifer, and I were married in October of 2001. From our early marriage, my wife knew that something was wrong with my health. There were some days that I was so tired, I would fall asleep in my car with it still running when I pulled into my driveway after work. Many days, all I seemed to have was the energy to work and then sleep.

Fast-forwarding now to May of 2008, I am at 5’ 9” and weighing only 125 pounds. (my low point had been 118 pounds.). I was now facing many unpleasant realities in my life. Some nights I would sleep as few as two hours or as many as twelve, and I would still wake up exhausted. I would then do office work for several hours and be totally exhausted and have to lie down. Some of the health issues other than this chronic fatigue and insomnia I was facing included: constipation, painful joints, blurry vision, irritable bowel syndrome, and memory loss (where I was not even completing thoughts when speaking).

I had absolutely no sense of well-being! I also had the urge to use the rest room as many as 40 times a day. I couldn’t find the help I needed from my local doctor, so we decided to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. In June of 2008, we were at the Mayo clinic for many days. After having them run many tests, from blood work and seeing the urologist, and spending nearly $4,000 out of my pocket, we were at the end of being able to afford any more tests, with no solutions in sight. Many people were praying for my health, and in August of 2008, my brother Jake introduced me to Zija.

The very first night I took Zija, I started seeing immediate results. I slept like a baby for the first time in over 10 months! It’s now one month later, and my weight has gone from 125 pounds. to 141 pounds., without eating any more than I did previously. My energy is great and most days, I can go without taking a nap. I can now go to bed at 12 midnight and wake up at 7:00 am feeling refreshed. I’m forgetting far fewer things than I had prior to drinking Zija. The overactive bladder is healing, and I only need to use the rest room several times a day instead of 40! The constipation and achy joints are gone. Now for the first time in seven years, I feel relaxed, without tension, and I have a wonderful since of well-being! - Jeremy W.

"Hello, I've been on Zija for well over 2 years now. I use to have stomach ulcers, acid reflux, a hiatal hernia, and constant heartburn. After consulting several doctors I was told i was going to need to be on anti-acid medications for the rest of my life. Considering this was just a bandaid for the problem I wasn't satisfied. Oh did I mention I'm just 21? Who wants to be told that the rest of your life? I was introduced to Zija thru a family friend. Two weeks after I started drinking the mix daily, my acid reflux was gone, heartburn was non-existent. A month after starting I went to the doctor for chest and stomach x-rays. Myself and the doctors were amazed to see no ulcers and even more amazing no hiatal hernia. This product has truly changed my life. Thank you Zija!" - Patrick Dahm

Patrick, great testimonial! I too suffered from a digestive disorder for almost 3 years at the same age and have completely healed my digestive system by using the Zija Products! Drink Life In!--Michael P.

Ditto, I had acid reflux, a hiatal hernia, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and constant heartburn; all gone after two weeks on Zija, and have never come back.--Troy C.

After 15 years of fighting fatigue and bad constipation, I could tell something was going from bad to worse. The doctors tried everything and could not find anything. I was totally laid up. Two weeks ago, a 3-4 lb. tumor excreted itself from my body—unbelievably huge, like a purple-black placenta. I am getting my life back! —Dick, McDonough, GA

A week before Christmas, my husband, my daughter Abbi, and I caught a stomach bug. As I am sure you know, stomach flus can be disastrous for diabetics. Amazingly, none of us caught it as bad as others did. The only symptoms we experienced were fatigue and an uncomfortable stomach! This is the first stomach bug in which Abbi who is a diabetic since her infancy, didn’t throw up, didn’t have high blood sugars, and didn’t have ketones!!

One night, my eldest daughter texted me from her room, “Mom, I’m going to throw up.” After giving her half a pack of Zija, I checked on her an hour later, she was sound asleep. The next morning, she was better and full of energy!

Just last night, my husband woke up extremely nauseous. After drinking a pack of the Zija smart mix, his stomach settled down. He woke up this morning feeling great!

In these past few weeks since my last post, my family has experienced even more what Zija can do, reduce the effects of the stomach flu! I have been told that Zija helps with stomach issues, now I know for a fact that it does.

Acute Injuries

Luke Curry, current World Record Holder for bench press:

“My name is Luke Curry and I’ve been using zija for almost a year on and off. I knew it helped me get rid of my tendinitis in both elbows but didn’t use it for anything but that and normally would only use it when my elbows would start to hurt. Then I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Russ Bianchi and discussing Zija’s many uses. He told me that the protein shakes and supplements I was taking weren’t absorbed by my body and that I was wasting my money! Well I thought that he was wrong cause there’s no way I’ve gained so much muscle over the years without it. Well he then explained it to me in a more scientific way and then I told him I would try what he’s saying. Since for about 5 months I’ve only used Zija mix and XM3 drink for my pre and post workout supplements. I’ve gained now 20lbs of lean muscle and broke a world record back in June. My recovery is second to none. The recovery most people get in a week, I get in 1-2 days.” |

My name is Brandon Hayes. I have been a representative of Zija International for a little over a year. I began consuming the products and saw quick results, although that may not be typical for everyone. I noticed that in about 2 1/2 weeks my back pain (from a minor back injury a few years back) was completely GONE! I lost over 20 lbs in less than 8 weeks. So I began to share the products confidently by sharing stories, not selling. Fast forward 6 months and I had tripled my full-time income on part-time hours! All due to the simple, duplicatable system that is in place and our incredible team. I have no real business experience or business credibility. This opportunity has changed my life and the life of my friends and family!
