We’re going to talktoday about theworld’s most valuable

botanical—Moringa—thisancient tree, with original nameslike: The Miracle Tree, The Treethat Never Dies, The Only Thingthat Lives in the Dry Season, andMother’s Best Friend. I’m herewith Dr. Donovan Dixon to discuss how Moringa relates tochronic inflammation, thispainful and life-threateningdestroyer. Dr. Dixon, what can you tell us about chronic inflammation?

DD: In my 22 years in themilitary, I have seen chronic pain,acute pain and inflammation atits worst and I have always beenfrustrated by the fact that myonly treatment options weredrugs that often involved morepain, complications and otherside effects that I was not com-fortable with. Having discoveredthat there is a natural alternativehas allowed new life to flowthrough my practice. I am nowexcited to learn as much as I canabout botanical intervention forchronic pain.

MM: Virtually all chronic diseases are now associated without-of-control inflammation,including almost all of the can-cers. Would you agree with that?

DD: Absolutely, the signs areoverwhelming. In fact, not onlyis inflammation at the root ofthese chronic conditions, but alsothere’s overwhelming evidencethat our food sources and foodtypes are directly tied to howmuch inflammation is present.The more acidic and toxic ourfood is, the greater the body willfight to deal with it.

MM: As you are saying,inflammation is a proactive andprotective response to pathogensin the body. As the pathogensand dead cells are whisked away,

inflammation subsides. But whatwe’re seeing in medicine today isthat this inflammation doesn’t goaway.

DD: Right. Part of the reasonfor that is we’ve not looked at theentire cause and effect. We’vetreated the symptoms with pain-dampening drugs without goingafter the cause.

MM: The Band-Aid Effect isn’tworking any more. As we lookdeeper into the root causes, wefind toxicity and nutrient depri-vation, which we must address.This is exciting for you becauseyou have found this Moringaoleifera product, with its Africanand equatorial origin, that allowsyou to go into the detoxificationpathway and to address the nutri-tion deficits that so many peoplehave.

DD: What I love about theproperties of the Moringa is thatit repairs and restores damages atthe cellular level, where it allbegins. Repair the cells, then wecan save the tissues, the organs,the systems, and ultimately theperson.

MM: What part does inflam-mation play with patients that arecoming into your clinic?

DD: 100 percent!

MM: Over time, what happens when you use these

What do heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, stroke and cancer have in common? Scientists have linked all of

these—America’s deadliest diseases—to chronic inflammation.

powerful medications likesteroids, COX-2 inhibitors, etc.,to deal with these conditions?

DD: The people in theUnited States make up only 5% of the earth’s populationbut we consume 80% of thepain meds. With a typical painpatient I see, for instance, westart with nonsteroidals(NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen, etc. toblock the prostaglandins (thattrigger inflammation) from beingreleased, but these NSAIDs canbe very hard on the lining of thestomach, and with long-term usecan increase the risk of a heartattack.

MM: Now we’re seeing thatthe use of steroid drugs is caus-ing problems with the liver.

DD: Medications tend tomake you more sensitive, so youneed more of the drug. The priceis great, not only to the liver, butdamage to the adrenals, pancreas,and skin changes—just a wholehost of unwanted side effects.

MM: So along comes thisnutrient-dense botanical, theMoringa, with its 36 anti-inflam-matories, 46 antioxidants, all ofyour Essential Fatty Acids, a fullspectrum of Amino Acids (thebuilding-blocks of protein)—asclose to a perfect food that’s outthere today—what are you expe-riencing with this?

DD: I’m experiencing happier

patients! For instance, the manwho was on steroid medicationfor a long period for chronicpain, who became diabetic and isnow able to get off both his painmeds and his diabetes meds. Hisadrenal glands are no longerstressed as his pancreas is work-ing again. No more pain. Again,when you provide the cells withthe raw materials they need toself-repair, the benefits are justenormous.

MM: We see that thisMoringa product has over 90 verifiable nutrients, virtually allof the vitamins and minerals abody needs, and over 539 bio-chemical activities—from anti-ulcer, to antihistamine, tovasodilator, antitumor, antiviral,antidepressant—the list goes on...

DD: Mark, you cannot arguewith results. This food is as closeto perfection as anything I’veseen.

MM: You’ve played volleyballat the semi-professional level.How has the Moringa helped youthere?

DD: Again, Mark, it goesback to inflammation.As athletes, weput ridiculousstrains andpoundingon ourjoints.

I have noticed the difference. Forexample, for my pain, sorenessand stiffness, I would take med-ications to prevent inflammation,and I would still spend the nextfew days in discomfort. TakingMoringa, I have increased myflexibility, shortened my recoverytime, and it has kept me in thegame for longer.

MM: You had a patient withmajor female issues. As anOBGYN, you came to me for asolution. What happened?

DD: We saw the proof thather body reversed her complaintswhen given the right nutrients.

MM: This was a case where atotal or partial hysterectomywould have been in order. Andyet, with the Moringa, within justten days or so, she went back toher normal 30-day menstrualcycle.

DD: In this case, and themore chronic situations we’vementioned, once you address theroot causes—the nutrition depri-vation, the cellular repair, andthe detoxification, my job as aphysician is far more easy. Majorproblems become manageableproblems.

MM: Now, understandingthat these Moringa products inZija® are Kosher, Halal andOrganic Certified, with theMoringa leaves, seeds, seed pods, and flowering partsharvested from millionsof acres of family-run

as a physician?

DD: Mark,just think about the medicationsthat we use

every day that we cannot say the same thing about. We have pharmaceuticalcompanies putting drugs on the market without regula-tions or proper studies, and the consumer pays the consequences. To know that with Zija®, from theMoringa seed to the final products, every aspect is socarefully monitored, it gives me the confidence to putmy practice and reputation on the line in the use ofthese high-quality products.

MM: Thank you, Dr. Dixon. I know that a lot ofphysicians are crossing over to a more natural approachand one of the things that has stopped them is beingable to put their confidence behind a botanical compa-ny that is above reproach. It has been important to meas a clinical nutritionist. I am so excited to have you onboard to really address these issues with your patientsespecially those related to chronic inflammation.

MY MIND & BODY TRANSFORMATION!

Iown a salon in a small Montana townand am the single mom of a college student. Although I played numerous

sports as a teenager and was a champi-onship swimmer, I have been overweightall my life. I never really tried to loseweight because I didn’t believe I could! But I was sick of being tired and in pain, so I decided I was ready, but I definitelyneeded some help. I remembered someZija samples I had received and tried theXM-AM caps and sipped on the PremiumTea in the evening, along with the dailySmart Mix. As the first week rolled by, I didn’t even notice any effort to control

my evening snacking. I alsofelt less hungry and stressedduring the day .

What I did notice was astunning amount of good will and the sheer pleasureof being alive! My outlookon life was positive and bright—evenbefore I started to lose weight! Then myclothes started to look like they belongedto someone else. After five months, I hadlost 5 pants sizes. Dramatic weight loss is still happening. I’VE NOW LOST 75POUNDS without exercise or change inmy diet. But I’ve also noticed other positivechanges in my mind and body. Everythingis quietly moving in a healthier direction!My eyes are less sensitive to light; my

gums are no longersore; blotchy and dryskin on my head isgone; rough elbowscleared up; the red discoloration on mylegs from bad circula-tion is gone; mycracked and bleedingheels have healed up!

I used to spend a hundred dollars amonth on prescrip-tions for pain and forsleep, barbiturates formigraines and painfulperiods, etc. I also hadto take stairs one at a

time because of the pain in my knee. Idon’t use ANY of those meds anymore!I no longer need B-12 injections into myshoulder for bicep tendonitis. Random andpainful sciatica and back pain have goneaway. Mornings were much happier with-out 2 hours of achy soreness. I haven’t felt this good since I was a teenager!

For those interested in the femininecycle and its concerns, I had excellentresults. After only 3 weeks on Zija, I had noPMS and my period only lasted 3 days. Mycycle was less painful and previously hadstretched out to 7–8 days.

Also, for the last 15 years, my sleephas been light and restless. By the firstweek, I was falling asleep easier. I nowwake up earlier and feel more rested.

There’s no way to feel all of this andnot share it with people. I joined Zija with a Builder System and got started.I made my investment back in a fewweeks. I started my own business with asmall start-up. Along with great supportfrom my team, I’m now fulfilling mydreams of success and financial freedom.

I’d love to talk to you! Call me inLivingston at 406-224-3440. —Laura
