I did not lose the weight to look better, although Trachelle is looking me up and down and not because of what horrible choices in clothing I mashed together that day. The truth is that I never thought I would lose weight and over the past 25 years I went between 310 and 270 no matter what diet I tried or what I did to get healthy it just didn’t work. Injuring my back in 1986, I steadily got worse and worse. Five years ago I was walking with a cane and my usual spot was on the couch laying on a heating pad while waiting for the pain meds to kick in. Everything I did revolved around my back pain and lack of energy to do anything. I really did think that this was going to be my life forever.

A little over two years ago I was weighing in at a trim 285lb and had so little energy that I even fell asleep on the Capital Beltway during rush hour. The traffic was so slow that I was the only one that noticed but it did scare me but not enough to keep me awake the rest of the way home.  It’s here where, in my desperation for anything that would help, I first tried a Zija product called XM+, it did what even two Red Bulls could not do, keep me awake the whole day.

Trachelle “made” me drink the funny looking swamp water (not really swamp water but that’s what one of my friends call it. Looks funny but tastes great.) and while it did keep me awake I didn’t notice much else at the time. After three months I did what most people do and that is to forget how bad I felt before, so I told Trachelle to stop the next shipment. It was then I found out how much it really did change my life. Two days of not having all the benefits of Moringa I couldn’t believe how much it really did make a difference so I all but begged her, (OK I begged her) to get me the swamp juice. After that I have not gone a day without my XM+ and will not go without it again.

After that I wanted to know more about what had done so much for me and what else was this Zija Company selling and it was then I found my wife’s stash of XMBurn. She says she hid it but behind the flour and under the cake mix in the back of the pantry is not really hiding it in my book. She didn’t even know I was taking them until she did a demonstration and found that almost all of the boxes were empty and let’s just say it was hard for her to keep smiling that night. The fact that I had lost 35lb in 10 weeks did nothing to persuade her that it was a good thing I “stumbled” across them by sheer will of God. She told me not to bring God into my alibi and to order my own, so I did. Now, I am down to 230 (55lb loss for mathematically challenged) and don’t even know if the heating pad still works and I don’t care either.

One of the doctors that was trying to help alleviate the effects of my back injury kept telling me “the body heals itself, the body heals itself” and she was right. I just wasn’t giving it what it needed to do the job up to this point. The Moringa tree is amazing and if you haven’t watched the Discovery Channel video you need to and maybe it could change your life like it has mine.
