Lotchie's July Birthday Month ends at the North Olympic National Park Coast- Rialto Beach's Hole in the Wall

David and Lotchie are pictured in front of "Hole in the wall". They hiked several miles along Rialto Beach's wild coast and chose a campsite on the beach facing a large sea arch called "split rock". Further down the beach, around a few points, are the memorials to the crews from sunken ships scattered along the rocky shores.

49 years young, Lotchie has packed the month full of activities starting at Yosemite, then a hike with snow sledding at Mt. Rainier's panorama point, Shakespeare's plays (free in Seattle's parks), and ending the month enjoying the offerings of the Olympics: swimming in Lake Quinalt and Crescent Lake, hiking along the pristine coast, and witnessing a glorious sunset. Happy Birthday Lotchie!

Billings, Montana mom Visits Seattle in her Z-coil

Jean Sigmund from Billings, Montana bought her second pair of Z-coil footwear a year ago in May for plantar fascitis. "My next pair I would like to have in a taupe color since it would match everything. When I started wearing the Z-coil footwear, I had no more foot pain. After I wore them for two hours the first time and I felt a big difference. It helped my low back pain so much so, I have not had to go in for a chiropraactic adjustment for two years." Her son lives here in Seattle.

Richard Jokes in his Fourth Pair of Z-coil- "Inspector Gadget"

Richard Olmsted came in today for his fourth pair of Z-coil footwear. He purchased the Spring Z style since it gave his bunions a lot of room. He has worked in the service department at American Fast Freight Consolidators for the past twenty years. He walks on concrete and asphalt for ten hour days/four days per week.

He first had back surgery 33 years ago which was repeated five years later for repair of herniated discs. He was diagnosed with Parkinsons three years ago.

Three years ago, Richard's wife Kathy was visiting her sister, Betty, in Hoquiam who happened to be wearing a pair of Z-Coils. Her sister had said that they helped her a lot doing the tasks of caretaker for her husband, Bill, ever since his stroke. Kathy tried them on and exclaimed, "I feel like I'm walking on air." She then had her husband, Richard, try them on. He felt better with them on.

So they hunted down their first pairs of Z-coil in Oregon. Kathy wears her Z-coil while on the treadmill and is concerned about her bunions. Richard bought the work boots and a pair of Freedoms from the Oregon store. THey have been telling everyone they know about the Z-coil footwear. He later purchased a pair from the Bellevue store (now closed). They errantly went to the Bellevue store today and upon discovering the Bellevue store was closed they were given our location by the 800 z-coil #.

Richard is definitely sold on the z-coil since he no longer is having ankle, knee, hip or back pain.

Kathy says she works in the office at the same location with Richard. She has noticed a big difference at the end of the day upon seeing Richard - he "just does not look as worn out ". We fitted Kathy into a pair of Lyncos to control her pronation today. Even though the cost of the shoes may sound expensive to some, it is amazing how long they last since they are so well made.

Jason, Wanda, and Diana: A Family of Z-coil Wearers

Jason, Wanda and Diana came over from Ellensburg to buy more Z-coil footwear. Diana is the first evangelist. She is a sculptor in Scottsdale and heard about the benefits of Z-coil from another artist 2 years ago. She bought her second pair Monday (Taos Zipper).

Jason Kaynor, LMP is a back pain therapist in Ellensburg. His career decision followed an accident that left him with two herniations. After visiting Aunt Diana in Scottsdale in February, he brought back his first pair of Z-coils for his mom. Now he is wearing his first pair today- a high desert hiker. Since they were seeing they were seeing the sights today around Seattle, his feet also had begun to hurt, until he put on the new hikers. Now his foot pain is gone, too.

He can be reached for an appointment at 509-899-4589 and "Balance for the Body Massage Therapy" is located at 305 N. Anderson in Ellensburg.

Last, but not leaset, is Jason's mom Wanda. Wanda is the owner of "Better Life for Dogs" which is a vacation resort for your dog (boarding and training) in Ellensburg. She calls herself a dog wrangler.
After her right knee was injured, and arthroscopic surgery made it worse, she was told she would have to wait until she was 60 years old before she could have a knee replacement. She was told to "Live in Pain".
When Jason brought the Freedom Z-coil in February from Diana in Scottsdale, she had immediate relief from her knee and back pain.
If she goes with out them she has to start icing her knees by 3 PM.
Monday, her lovely sister Diana gifter her with two more pairs of Z-coils. Thanks sis!

Wanda can be reached at 509-925-2200 located at 2111 Tjossem Rd. in Ellensburg.

Theosphical Society Members Meet Z-coil

Ed Alden first tried on the Z-coil footwear at the Fremont Fair last weekend. He was working at the Theosophical Society booth there when a fellow member shared her story of going to Washington DC wearing Z-coils for a week with no pain. She related with a normal pair of shoes after one day she would have pain. He came to our booth tried them on, then followed up at our booth.

Mr. Alden suffers from peripheral neuropathy which his mother also had experienced. His uncle does currently have neuropathy as well. We look forward to reports from Ed on his progress toward pain relief with the Z-coil footwear.

For more info on the Theosophical Society check out their website at: www.seattle-ts.org.

The Three Objects of the Theosophical Society which began in 1875 are:

~To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color;
~To encourage the comparative study of religion, philosophy, and science;
~To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity.

Paul Now in His Third Pair of Z-coil's

Paul Kemmerer bought his first pair of Z-coil Cloudwalkers 2 years ago after a friend told him they helped his pain. "I thought they should help prevent pain." Today, 6-22-06, I bought my third pair of Z-coils. This is my second pair of white Cloudwalkers. I loaned out my anniversary shoes to a friend who is experiencing knee pain after an accident. I enjoy wearing my Z-coils and am wanting to introduce a couple more friends to them.

"The Stranger" Seeks out Capitol Hill Neighbor

Eatin' Out
Praise the Lord and Pass the Pizza
BY AMY KATE HORN
Finally! Middle-of-the-night pizza by the slice! Juliano's is a new Capitol Hill hole in the wall serving made-to-order pizza into the wee hours every night. Owner Juliano Cabrini makes your slice to order and then sends it on a slow journey through a conveyer oven while you stand by salivating. The house four-cheese special is far from a regret-laden gut-bomb: an extra-delicate herbed crust cradles homemade tomato sauce and a reduced-fat four-cheese blend in place of greasy mozzarella. You can concoct your own combo from fresh toppings including spinach tossed in balsamic vinegar, prosciutto, bacon, juicy sun-dried tomatoes, brie, Swiss, even a pretty damn delicious vegan cheese. Whole pies are also available; call first if you don't want to wait.
