Goji Juice - Is it any good?

[mayflowers]

Is Goji juice the miracle drink they claim it is?  I have been really, really tired and run down lately.  I am looking for something to help perk me up  I feel like I'm in a constant fog.  I never feel like I'm truely awake.

Someone also recommended taking Acidolphilus.

Okay so you probably don't want to hear this but.......My husband brought the Goji Juice home 4 months ago and I said,"no...no....no"  It's expensive I've tried it all and I know it won't work.!!!!!  Wrong...I have more energy than I've had in years,  feel better, look better, increased libido, a strong constant energy throughout the day.  My 5 year old started taking it because he had some serious health issues for over a year and a half.  After 3 weeks on the juice he is completely better and nothing the doctor's did or said worked until the Goji Juice.  My 83 year old grandma feels better and has more energy than she's had in years.  The list goes on and on.  The thing is you have to drink the right Goji juice to get the benefit.  It isn't like any other berry out there.  That is completely false.  The Goji Berry is the only fruit in the world that has 4 polysacharides in it.  That means that it works on a cellular level.  It feeds our cells.  It is truly amazing.  Our cells only allow Gluclose into them and since the polysacharides are a form of gluclose our cells just eat them up gladly, in return making us have more energy and making our bodies more alkaline.  I could go on and on.  It's expensive but your not paying for what it is your paying for what it does.  Today I did the math and I think we have actually saved money because we aren't at the doctor all the time anymore and I think that we are really saving when you add it all up!  The other thing is that there are many different kinds of berries just like there are many different kinds of  grapes.  So it depends which Goji juice you are drinking to get the results that you need.  The juice from freelife international has the first right of refusal which means they get the first pick of all the Goji Berries.  They put every berry through a spectrometer which measures to make sure that every bottle of juice has the exact amount that it claims of the polysacharides and other vitamins and minerals.  All the other companies are picking through the leftover berries to make their juice.  Another thing is a lot of people say well I buy the Goji Berries at the store and make smoothies with them.  Did you know that you would have to eat 3 pounds per day to get the benefit!!!!!  In 6 months it will take 5 years off your face and it reduces cellulite as well.  Who doesn't want that on top of feeling great!  Goji means Happy!!!  Please check out helton.freelife.com if you have any other questions.  It is what they are saying it is!!!!!

I bought some too. It's awfully expensive. :( I sure hope it works. I talked to the guy in the health food store and he said some people got something out of it and some didn't. He said he tried it and didn't notice any difference. He said it's basically oxygenating your water. I guess it can't hurt to have more oxygen, right? I'm willing to give it a try. I sure need more energy.

HI  Misscloey,

I came across this post by chance and became very interested in your hype about Cell Food.  I went out and bought some today.  I hope I get the results you explain above.  I will keep you posted:)

[misscloey]

Cell Food is just extra oxygen for your blood. Which in turn allows your body to function better. As you know Oxygen is essentail for life, right? If you google search Cell Food and read about it, you will see all of the great benefits it has. When you buy it you will actually get a free book that explains about it in detail. Be sure to buy the Cell Food by Lumina Health Products. I understand that there are many "copycats" out there. By Naturopath tells me that this is the best, as it is the original. I take a great multi vitamin with enzymes and green foods in it as well as digestive enzymes and omega 3. So, it will not hurt you. I must tell you though that the first few weeks I took Cell Food I forgot to take my vitamins because I felt so energized. I still do, but it has tapered off a little, but still FEEL WONDERFUL. I have had a few amazing discoveries while taking this stuff I have to share with you. I have used it for those annoying acne blemishes you get while on your period (at 40 I don't think so!) I just drop a little on the blemish and I SWEAR in a matter of hours it is dried up and almost completely healed. I have used it for a very severe sunburn (I put it in a spray bottle diluted with a little water) and it was the ONLY hting that stopped the burn immediatley. I have used it while drinking margaritas and after drinking margaritas for the he** of it and guess what... no hangover. I don't drink much, so it doesn't take much for me to feel really lousy after drinking. Also gave it to my dog after spending 175.00 to clear up a little patch of mange. The med the vet gave me did not work, but Cell Food did. They say that it is so potent it fights off E coli bacteria.
So...I,m sold on the stuff, can you tell?
Try it, you will love it

Is it ok to take that with other vitamins or herbs? I've been recently diagnosed with Crohns Disease and someone was telling me to try a daily essential enzymes digestive aid. I don't know if it's ok to try too many new things at once. I could sure use some more energy too!

Thanks misscloey!  I'll look for it at my health food store.  It's great to hear about things that ppl have used and get results with.  I need all the help I can get!!!!

You need to go to your local health food store and buy a product called Cell Food.
Google search this and read about it. It is AMAZING. I have got EVERYONE I know hooked on this stuff. It is natural, it is basically oxygen for your body. I cannot even begin to tell you the miraculous things that have happened to me and my husband since taking Cell Food. My Dad has had tremendous success with this stuff. Feel better, sleep better, full of energy, increased stamina when working out. Has helped my husband in sooo many ways. He is a heavy drinker and smokes. He has slowed down considerably since taking this almost completely tapering off of cigarettes all together. Has no desire for them. My dad has some scarring on his lung tissue from when he had TB while in the Navy. He was diagnosed at having 70% lung capacity several months ago. Had a terrible time breathing and catching his breath, he was always extremely fatigued. After 2 weeks on Cell Food his lung capacity has increased to 90%. His doctor is completely baffled at this.
Please try it. It may seem expensive at 26.95 for a small bottle of liquid drops but it lasts about 30 days or more. You take 8 drops in a glass of water several times a day (you build up to this) it does have some detoxifying effect on your body.
Some people say that they go through a period of "detoxification" such as feeling a bit run down, sick or other issues for several days. I did not. Felt amazing almost immediately.

Try it....you'll love it!

Also, make sure you're not dehydrated. That can cause you to be tired and feeling foggy.

It was $40 a bottle!!!  I bought it but never opened it and so I took it back.  I read abt it and basically got the same info as you two have posted.  pomegranite juice is just as good and a lot cheaper!!!

Sometimes I get swept away by health claims only to find myself in no better shape, feeling no different and yet with less $$$$$$$$$$.

Those Gogi juice people have some advertising agency. I'll say that. Tiredness is often a symptom of a sugar imbalance and pomegranite (Did I spell that correctly?) and blueberry juice will exacerbate the problem. That being said there have been reputable studies (in my opinion) demonstrating increased alertness following drinking pomegranite and blueberry juice. I drink both. As for Goji juice the jury (in my opinion) is still out.

Goji juice is a good source of antioxidants but you can buy pomgranite juice at the grocery store for a fraction of the price. A good overall physical exam can be helpful, too.
