Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Shoshi, The letters I sent you were from professionals like myself. Their concerns represent my concerns, and my interest in validation. 1. To be really considered seriously by the scientific community studies should certainly be for longer than two weeks and they should be conducted by objective third parties who do not have a vested interest in their validation. 2. It would be helpful to conduct studies comparing the efficacy of juice from fresh Gou Qi ZI berries as opposed to reconstituted juice from dried berries. Listen, Shoshi, I very much want to promote a product that will help my patients, and that will offer qualities unavailable elsewhere. I love the fact that the juice is bottled in hard non-leaching space-age plastic, and the offer of the unconditional 90 day money back guarantee is an excellent selling point. But I don't approve of high pressure salesman who constantly interrupt me (as the gentleman we spoke together with did), I don't approve of anecdotal evidance without solid scientific backing (re- my two points above). I am a good listener, and if I believe in something I WILL PROMOTE IT! But I haven't been convinced yet. My wife and I are using it and we will see how we feel. But you can't have it both ways: You can't claim that something is just a food without medicinal properties, and then charge an enormous price for it. And you can't claim that a food is a nutriceutical with specific medicinal properties unless you receive FDA approval (I refer to the FDA letter that I forwarded to you yesterday.) I am really open to selling and promoting, but I need my questions addressed satisfactorily, and not with cop-outs and excuses. respectfully, --- On Wed, 8/6/08, Green1459 <Green1459 wrote: Green1459 <Green1459 Re: more comments from colleagues re: studies Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 5:13 PM Hi Dr. Frischman, We have the science.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Dear colleagues, Let me clarify the last post: I was sent an email by the woman who introduced " Go Chi " juice to me in response to concerns that some of you, I felt, justifiably raised. She answered that they had " science " on their side. Thus my response. Yehuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I don't want to be too obvious but remember that where one person's condition might mean Gou Qi Zi is a miracle cure, the next person's condition might not work at all. Perhaps the first did get cured of all their ills, it doesn't mean necessarily the 2nd will.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I don't know about anyone else but I am constantly assaulted by folks pushing the newest MLM fad. I have learned to quickly get rid of them by stateing " I have two standards that I except....one thousand years of documented tradition or double blind, placebo controled studies...if you can not show me one or the other I won't talk with you " I have yet to have one show me the either one.....lots of ancedotal crap. I actual hope to teach a class on the ethics of herbalism at a conference soon with this being one of the topics...our patients trust us to offer them the best and learned product.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Bob, That's just the point I am trying to make--we do know that there are scores of studies and thousands of years experience reflecting the track record of Gou Qi Zi as enriching and supplementing liver yin and blood, and kidney yin and jing. Now these guys come along and say that they have a delivery system which allows for greater immune function and antioxidants. And they tell me that they have in-vivo, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies, to validate their claim. BTW, I just noticed that the two additional studies were actually for 30 days each, not just 14, like the first study published in JACM. I want to actually see the two studies, not just the summaries thereof that I uploaded. But, honestly, from what I am saying above, if the studies are authentic, what can you find wrong with the presentation, sales and promotion of this product? --- On Wed, 8/6/08, Bob Linde, AP, Herbalist <boblindeherbalist wrote: Bob Linde, AP, Herbalist <boblindeherbalist Re: Re: more comments from colleagues re: studies Chinese Medicine Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 6:19 PM I don't know about anyone else but I am constantly assaulted by folks pushing the newest MLM fad.
