Don't take advice from know-nothing 'experts'.  Remember a great coach's answer when asked why his team lost the game: 

"I won’t know until my barber tells me on Monday."
- Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game

From the Did You Know? File:

Zija for Pets

Moringa Contains Over 92 Verifiable Nutritional Compounds: • 46 Supreme & Protective Antioxidants • 36 Anti-Inflammatories • All Essential Amino Acids (19 Total) • Omega 3 - 6 - 9 • Calcium • Cartenoids, Chlorophyll, Flavonoids, Lutein, Omegas, Polyphenols, Plant Sterols, Rutin, Xanthins, and more.

Many people have been giving Zija (Moringa Oleifera) to their four legged friends; including cats, dogs, horses and many different exotics.
Normally the powder form is best. However there are many dogs and cats that love to drink the liquid!
One packet of Zija mix is good for up to 250 pounds of body weight, so amounts are determined, as with people, by how much your pet weighs.
You can either mix with water or sprinkle over dry food. If you have an animal that is sick, you can safely increase their normal amount by giving it to them twice a day until they recover.
For horses we recommend 2 packets of mix a day, one with each meal. Horses love it and will lick it right out of a dry bucket!
On days when they are competing it is appropriate to give them an extra packet. Their performance is greatly increased without the use of harmful drugs.
Remember that this is simply an organic whole food and cannot be overdosed.
Zija is great for the whole family!!!

Zija: Real Stories from Real People about a Real Plant

FTC  cracks down on false claims:

The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday cracked down on Sensa Products, an El Segundo company that sells a weight-loss powder that users sprinkle on food to help curb their appetite.

The powder, which is marketed as activating the part of the brain that helps control appetite, is said to make users feel fuller faster so they eat less.
Federal regulators, however, weren't buying the pitch.
Sensa Products now has to return $26.5 million to consumers who bought its product because the company used faulty science in its marketing to mislead consumers, the FTC said. Federal regulators also announced a settlement with two other companies over the marketing of weight-loss products.
"Resolutions to lose weight are easy to make but hard to keep," said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "And the chances of being successful just by sprinkling something on your food, rubbing cream on your thighs or using a supplement are slim to none. The science just isn't there."
In television commercials for Sensa, set to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band's "Shake Your Booty," the company claimed that 1,400 users — mainly women — lost an average of 30.5 pounds in a six-month study.
The FTC said the study and claims by Sensa Products were based on faulty science. The settlement accused Sensa Products, its parent firm Sensa Inc., and two individuals — Adam Goldenberg,  chief executive of the parent company and Alan Hirsch, a doctor who is part owner — of deceptive advertising.
Users paid $59 for a one-month supply of Sensa products, which were sold online and at retail chains that included Costco Wholesale Corp. and GNC Corp. U.S. retail sales from 2008 to 2012 totaled more than $364 million, regulators said.
The FTC also said the company paid consumers in cash and with travel for their endorsements of the product. It said Hirsch, who conducted studies cited in the ads and wrote a promotional book, gave expert endorsements that were not supported by science.
.....Media inquiries to Costco and GNC were not immediately returned Tuesday.
The agency also accused two other companies of deceptive marketing: L'Occitane Inc., which claimed that its skin cream would help users lose fat, and HCG Diet Direct, for marketing a human hormone used to lose weight.
L'Occitane, regulators said, claimed in a 2012 advertising campaign that its Almond Beautiful Shape cream could "trim 1.3 inches in just 4 weeks" and that another product, Almond Shaping Delight, has "clinically proven slimming effectiveness." The beauty company will pay $450,000 to federal regulators.
The judgment against HCG Diet Direct has been suspended because of its inability to pay, the FTC said.

A Healthy Zija Vacation

Back from Rome and the Ancient World!

Thanks to  Zija's miracle tree powder for a healthy VICTORIOUS Italian adventure over Christmas.  If you're contemplating a vigorous tour of a foreign land in the winter, STOCK UP ON SMARTMIX AND XM+ TO SEE you through.

We estimate (by using the distances showing in our Google Maps) that we walked over 50 miles in a week just to and from sites.  HARD WALKING up and down hills, on uneven ancient cobblestone paths, on slick marble stairs, on cracked and missing sidewalks --- WALKING NON-STOP just to get to the sites.  

And then when we got there:  pushing crowds of sightseers, sneezing and coughing all over us, and more walking -- over ACRES of incredible churches, crypts, forts, mausoleums, museums, ruins, basilicas, stadia, trattorias, pizzerias, ristorantes, frigidariums, and  YOU GET THE PICTURE!  Not to mention enduring long hours waiting for a meal but no prob: just pop open a sleeve of SmartMix and 'eat' away!

We made a 3am taxi pickup down a dark Piazza Navona alley on no sleep and watched tv all the way from Italy to SFO only to wake up at 3am to feed my plants!

No injuries, sniffles, or problems.  No sights missed.  No sleep-ins.

Just non-stop FUN ON THE GO with family for almost two weeks.

***************

Got to see the Pope on Christmas Sunday at St. Peter's Square:  what an experience!

On a corner near Villa Borghese we were sitting lost on some cathedral steps, scanning our maps and taking a breather, when a stranger approached who was NOT A STRANGER, but an old associate who was holidaying in Rome, too!  (What are the chances??!)

So many great things happened, but most of all was the blessing of being with family for Christmas.

Hope that your Christmas was blessed and your 2014 is Prosperous, Healthy, and Z-Perfect!

It's almost 'back-to-work' time in the Z-Universe!
