My doctor continues to offer this product to me, and while I sometimes purchase it, I'm a bit leaary because everytime I look up info. on it, all I see is offers to join the sales program, and gain revenue. It's also full of a lot of filler juices, such as apple and pear. So, I'm wondering if anyone has tried it, and felt that it's worked.

Sounds like a scam. The use of filler juices strongly suggests that the product is too watered down to do anything (other than placebo effect). You might look into getting Ningxia wolfberry juice...

Thank you Razzle. Dr. E in New Jersey is supposed to be uber reputable, but she's always pushing Zrii on me, and clamins her kids are addicted to it. She also tried to get me to go to a business metting learning how to market and sale Zrii. Red flags everywhere for me. Now I'm worried that she's just doing this for the money, or does she really think it works.

I hear ya hezzer926. I wonder if her mentioning her kids is a sales tactic. Whatever the case may be, hers is a lot cheaper than buying it online. I just don't know if it truly works.

I haven't seen Dr. E in months, but she said the same thing to be about her kids being addicted to NingXia Red, which did nothing for me.

Yeah, I was just about to order it. Guess I'm not now.

BTW did you find Dr. E did something for you? Like did her protocallhelp? I know hers didn't for me. I wrote you what mine is in another post previous to this one.

Hi Jenisis,

I personally don't think Dr. E helped me. I had a reaction to most of the supplements she recommended and she was way too hung up on diet. I admit, I will never be perfect where the Lyme diet is concerned, but I was tired of being verbally abused about my eating habits.

It's just not possible for me to cook every meal, have no sugar, etc. I have come to find out that sugar is in everything, and I absolutely hate the taste of Stevia. I have sugar in the raw now, which I like.

Anyway, sorry for that tangent lol, but I really didn't find her recommendations helpful to me. I spent a lot of $$$ on everything she recommended and was no better for it. There didn't seem to be an end to the visits with her...she was just happy to have me come once a month and recommend lots of expensive supplements that would total $300 by the time I left. She always seemed to have a product to push, which was very off-putting for me.

Isn't that interesting, Bella? You're thoughts are mine. I cant say anything to make your statement more accurate and true. Wow, thank you, I think I'm finished there now. What protocall are you using to better yourself?

I have been taking zrii for a few months. I am stopping. It is expensive, doesn't do much for me and seems to be a multi level marketing program.

Hi Jenisis,

Right now I am taking Zhang's Allicin and Artemisiae, but I am going to add in Grapefruit Seed Extract and maybe Pycnogenol.

I want to stay completely herbal, if possible. I just get confused with what can be taken together and what shouldn't be.

What protocol are you on?

I went to Dr. E for about a year, and I didn't get that negative impression of her trying to market certain products and whatnot. I felt that she was very sincere in trying to help myself (and others I'd assume including the few I've talked to) get healthy. However, I felt that her practice was too large for her to adequately treat and maintain an overview of my situation so I decided to switch doctors. I also questioned some products/methods she utilized in diagnosis and treatment but not from the standpoint of bad intentions.

She did indeed offer me Zrii one of my last visits and I tried a 1 day sample of it. But it was just one of numerous suggestions she made to me over the year I saw her, some of which I had already been doing for years such as probiotics and a gf diet and others which were products more unique to her practice. From my experiences, if she is coming off as trying to push a product, which I could see, I think it would more likely be due to her genuinely believing it may help you (right or wrong) than more suspect intentions. Though I could certainly see how you would think otherwise with her trying to get you to go to meetings and sell it.

Thank you for offereing me another way to look at it. I don't know what to think anymore. Is she the one who diagnosed you?
