Goji Berry Juice

---

Trust me, your not the only one asking what in the world is Goji Juice. Those were my exact words when I first discovered it. Goji (Go-jee) is known as the "Himalayan Health Secret." Goji Berries are packed with powerful antioxidants that destroy free radicals in your body before they can do any harm.

The Goji Berry has been used in traditional Tibetan medicine for centuries! When harvested, the berries are never touched by hand as they will oxidize and turn black if touched while fresh. They are shaken onto mats, then dried in the shade.

Goji berries can be used in smoothies or juice cocktails. It is also available in juice form ready for drinking. The Goji fruit contains polysaccharides, which have been demonstrated to fortify the immune system. Goji has been said to have anti-aging properties because it contains a substance that stimulates the secretion in the pituitary gland of human growth hormone (a powerful anti-aging hormone.)

It is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene. Goji is a powerful, antioxidant filled elixir which is traditionally believed to strengthen the body against disease and to provide the energy those having difficulty while healing.

Goji Studies

Study groups were put together where elderly people were given Goji once a day for 3 weeks. It turned out that 67% of the patients' T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of the patients’ white cell doubled. In addition, the results showed that all the patients’ spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.

The Goji berry has absolutely no toxicity. However like most fruits, it should not be used if you are suffering from Spleen deficiency with dampness and diarrhea. Goji is now being used in clinical settings for a number of common maladies including the treatment of consumptive disease accompanied by thirst such as early-onset diabetes and tuberculosis, dizziness, blurred vision, and chronic cough.

In the treatment of diabetes. 8-10 grams of fruit was steamed and eaten each time, three times daily (steaming softens the fruits). The daily dosage range of 8-30 grams is typical of medical applications being done at this time in several countries. The berry has also been used in a number of recent clinical trials for treatment of bone marrow deficiency conditions (low production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).

Goji Fights Cancer

It has been found that the fruit, as well as an extract from its leaves, can kill many kinds of cancer cells. Human studies are proving to be highly promising.

Goji berries contain Germanium. Germanium has been demonstrated to have anti-cancer activity. Japanese studies indicate that organic Germanium is effective in treating liver cancer, lung cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, and testicular cancer when combined with other drugs. It has been found to induce the production in human beings of g-interferon. Interferon can depress and even kill cancer cells. Germanium possesses the power to take over the hydrogen ion from cancer cells. Losing hydrogen ions can cause depression and even death to cancer cells. Besides Germanium, this berry has other components that act against cancer. These other components appear to be able to depress or block the synthesis of the cancer cells’ DNA, which interferes with the cells’ ability to divide and thus lowers the reproductive capacity of the cancer cells.

The Goji berry has also been tested as an anti-obesity drug. Patients were given 30 grams each morning and each afternoon, made into a tea. Results were excellent with most patients losing significant weight.*
