Plant Miracle Distributor Spot Light

Hephzibah-Ene Anderson, an independent distributor with the Plant Miracle organization, was born in Calabar, Nigeria and then moved to Jamaica where she lived for 11 years and served as a Registered Nurse. In 2000 she moved to the United States and currently resides in Cape Coral, Florida with her six your old daughter, Shammah, and fifteen year old freshman/footballer, Ike.

Her passion for Moringa comes from the fact that she currently is utilizing Moringa as a volunteer and student at ECHO Global Farm. ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization) is a non-profit, inter-denominational Christian organization located on a demonstration farm in North Fort Myers, FL. ECHO has been assisting a global network of missionaries and development workers since 1981 and is currently serving agricultural workers in 180 countries. She is doing a project with underutilized food crops with special interest in the Moringa Tree, out of Hendry Creek Farm, in Fort Myers. This project will help raise funds for the Passion Rescue Mission, a non-profit organization to help feed children in orphanages in Haiti. She understands the many nutritional benefits of Moringa and personally uses it to create a nutritional sauce for meals and as a healthy tea to drink. She said that Moringa recently helped alleviate her daughter’s 104 degree fever by giving her a mixture of her Moringa tea with some apple juice. The next day Shammah no longer had a fever and was full of energy and completely recovered.

When she discovered the Zija drink on the plantmiracle.com website she knew that her passion for Moringa and the business opportunity was a perfect fit for her. The Plant Miracle organization will be able to assist her in her Zija business with coaching support, our Zija Messenger email technology, her own personal website and Plant Miracle’s live webinars which are hosted weekly by two of the founders of Plant Miracle, Dr. George Kosmides and Michael Rivera. We congratulate Hephzibah-Ene Anderson for making a difference for other people by sharing Moringa and Zija’s health and financial benefits.

Heighten Your 5 Senses

Use these simple tricks to get the most from your senses:

Taste

Take a good whiff of your food before you eat-90% of taste is smell. Alan Hirsch, M.D., a neurologist in Chicago, says, “The more odor molecules hit receptors in your nose, the more robust your sense of taste.

Hearing

Simply smile. The muscles that turn your frown upside down also tense your middle ear muscles. In turn, this softens low frequency noises-the hum of an air conditioner, the din of traffic, or the office chatter-by as much as 20 decibels.

Touch

Look at the body part that’s doing the touching. A British study has found that looking at the body part increases activity in the area of the brain that controls sensation. The reverse works too, look away when receiving a shot.

Sight

Position your computer monitor so you’re looking slightly looking down at it. Your eyes won’t be open as wide, so they won’t be exposed to as much cornea-drying air. That means less eye strain and blurring..hence a better vision.

Smell

Run the hot water. Before odors reach your smell receptors, they first pass through a membrane. Warm, most air helps odor dissolve into that membrane. But hurry, your heightened senses will last only a few minutes.

Anti Aging Conference - Las Vegas, NV

Plant Miracle with Zija participated in The 25th annual Anti Aging Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 11-14, 2008. We were well received and had a great opportunity to share Zija with hundreds of health care providers from around the world. We were by far one of the most popular booths at the event. Many doctors have heard of Moringa Oleifera but did not know of Zija. We are definitely at the very early stages of its awareness and the extraordinary health benefits it offers.

The physicians of A4M, along with the advocacy of aging intervention and biomedical research, have brought millions of new consumers to the realization that aging is not inevitable. Thanks in large part to these combined efforts, anti-aging products and biomedical technology is a $50+ billion annual industry. Plant Miracle and Zija are well positioned for tremendous growth. We invite you to this tremendous opportunity.

Natural Medicine vs. Pharmaceutical Corporations

Sometimes, the best things in life are not always the most popular. Think about the artistic work of Van Gogh, the intrigue that lies with his name did not materialize until over a hundred years after his death. The same thing can be said about the many remarkable inventions by the underground inventor Nikola Tesla who created AC circuitry. Furthermore, if you look at the independent music scene, you’ll notice many times that the best musicians are not always the famous ones. These are all examples of a very striking principle at work here.

It’s the fact that visibility is more important than ability.

The same principle applies for modern medical practices. Notice how many pharmaceutical solutions there are in the supermarket, pharmacies, and other established places? Now, notice how many natural solutions are being shelved out there. Probably not a whole lot and even if they were, they are rarely presented in this way to compete. The key to realize here is that big pharmaceutical corporations have the capital to shell out millions for advertising campaigns and broker distribution deals with grocery or department chains. Natural solutions simply do not get this type of media recognition because pharmaceutical corporations would merely muscle them out with sheer economic might.

My Personal Experience With Zija

Since 1997, I have not found a product that has made a difference in my health that I physically noticed until Zija. Being in the health field, I am exposed to many different types of pills and potions that are deemed beneficial. I find after closer inspection and personal use, the products are mirror shadows of what they are in nature. I can say without question that this product has heightened my performance and is now beginning to help in the arthritis in my low back and neck. I am moving better and feel more alert than I have prior to drinking Zija and I have only been on Zija since September 30, 2008.

I am exposed to many different types of pills, juices and potions that are deemed beneficial. I am moving better and feel more alert than I have prior to drinking Zija.

I have yet to find fault with their application or science.

Why does it work?

It contains:

• All 10 essential amino acids (this is unusual for plants)
• Packed with Antioxidants
• Minerals
• More vitamin C than an orange
• 144 attempts at a formulation (taste and potency issue)

What is most impressive is that this company had the foresight to include all of the important parts and the oils of the tree in their formulation. A lot of companies, regardless of the health product do not take that extra step, Zija does and the health results proves it.

After many years of private practice and in the last several years of taking my self personally, many different “health” products, only one product has earned my unbiased and uncompromising endorsement.

That product is Zija.

Moringa Oleifera

Moringa oleifera is a fast growing, aesthetically pleasing small tree adapted to arid, sandy conditions. The species is characterized by its long, drumstick shaped pods that contain its seeds. Within the first year of growth, moringa has been shown to grow up to 4 meters and can bear fruit within the same first year (Folkard and Sutherland, 1996).

Virtually every part of the tree is beneficial in some way, which is of great importance in areas where people have a direct dependence on trees, crops and animals for their livelihood. The studies that have been performed on moringa have taken place primarily in India and Africa, but it seems that there may be a growing interest in the cultivation possibilities in the more humid tropics, including Central and South America.
