goji juice story

[Guest guest]

I was recently on a flight back to Atlanta from Vegas and was seated next to a woman of about 50. She mentioned that she had forgotten to take her goji juice that morning and was starting to feel the effects. She then proceeded to tell me about having chronic fatigue and fibro. She had been diagnosed many years ago. She told me about seeing a homoeopathic doctor in LA who put her on a very strict diet-don't recall what type other than it included coconut oil.

 

The noise on the plane drowned out some of the details, but someone had recommended this juice to her. I recall seeing it posted and thought I should try it. Well, after our conversation I went to my health food store and bought a bottle.

 

She started taking it and within three days she felt much better-not sure how long this has been. She got her 85 year old mother to start also-she has arthritis and walked with a cane. After about a month she was cane free. Son who had asthma is now able to be without his inhaler. She had many other relatives who have had success. This was the red-eye flight and my memory is a little foggy-oh yes, she said it helped someone's vision improve.

 

For awhile I thought I was getting the hard sell and she was going to hand me her sales card. She did that but she is a realtor. She was a very interesting person to talk to. Too bad she lives about 50 miles from me.

 

Anyway have any of you had any success stories with this juice. It is $33. a bottle. Wonder if I continue with it where I can find it for less $$.

I would stay stay away from any processed juice. Maybe you can get

goji berries - the whole berries, not the juice. The juice is

processed and it has preservatives - sodium benzoate and potassium

sorbate. I have an article from a study that says benzoates

contributes to ADHD, so at least don't give this to kids!!

Thanks Carol, I now feel, since I checked further about the product, that it was a hard sell in a soft manner. She was good. I know there are scams of this nature. The more I think about it the more I feel taken advantage of-kind of like the Amway days. Judy

I used to buy lycii berries (goji), schizandra berries, chinese red ginseng (kirin) and another root, astragalus. This was said to increase longevity. I always figured that regardless of what I knew about individual ingredients that if they increased length of life, then they must be nutritious, immune system building, and have positive effects on endocrine system as well. I boiled all of this together in a ginseng cooker. I always considered the use of raw herbs, and then using them in their time tested ways (some 4000 years) to be what was most beneficial.

Most people would never use herbs in this manner.

To introduce people to herbs for their health, I use manufactured methods. Like goji juice from Earl Mindell's company Freelife, or perhaps some cheaper version of same present in health food stores. Most people, even when fulfilling the coffee addiction, will not make coffee at the office. Someone has to make it for them. So, the manufactured versions of various juices are better than not any juice at all. Hope that you know what I mean.

To the purists, benzoates are not good. To someone that already has all kinds of health problems, perhaps the easiest solutions availble are a good thing to offer?

When one is fully convinced, though, its time to make one's own infusions, teas, etc.

I even wonder if the offering of a soy protein to people who are obese in terms of satisfying the protein needs in a diet designed to lose weight (fat), is better than nothing at all. I can almost guarantee the losing of fat by the intake of protein and lowering the amount of caloric intake (but keeping protein up to a maintanance amount for energy and lean body mass). Other proteins are better than soy, especially spirulina and chlorella, and whey as well. But soy is cheapest. One "likes" to adhere to the idea of do no harm. But when all things are taken into account, including budget, perhaps a soy recommendation, or manufactured goji, or any number of other herbs as well, fits the "bill" to get someone started.

Judy, I think if someone's diet is the pits and doesn't eat anything

good, that they would probably get some benefit from the processed

juice. Any amount of nutrition, however small, added to a depleted

body would have some effect. Afterall, there is some goji berries in

the juice and that's a great antioxidant, but you need way more than

just antioxidants to keep you well. There are so many processed fruit

drinks out there now that claim to cure pretty much everything, and I

see them all the time at health fairs making these outlandish claims,

which is so untrue " it saved my life " " it cured my cancer " etc. I

would guess that it's almost impossible to cure cancer with only goji

berry juice. These people are nuts and I'm sure they are saying what

the company tells them to say, but one of these days I expect to see

some of them shut down by the FTC for making claims like it's a drug.
