Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I haven't heard of it, but it sounds just like the Noni Juice hype. Not that there is anything wrong with any juice that can be drinken, but I don't believe the Noni juice is worth the $40 per bottle or other premium price it might sell for. Sounds a little like snake oil, especially when it is marketed by MLM (multi-level marketing). Any juice has unique qualities so any " new to the US " juice will have some unique properties that US fruit juice drinkers will be able to feel some difference from. Sorry for the level of cynicism, but any time I hear the claim " stop cell aging " it makes me skeptical.cells are made to die. Actually from a genetic standpoint, if you want something that stops cells from dying we know it better as cancer :-) OK maybe that was uncalled for, but these MLM things just bring it out of me :-) _____ From: Sharon Ferris [mailto:sharonferris@...] Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 11:14 AM Subject: Goji Juice Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever heard of a juice called Goji that is supposed to do all kinds of wonderful things - stop cell aging, help arthritis, help protect against cancer, etc., etc. It comes from the Himalayan mountains from a berry. It has just become available in the US. I was contacted by a relative of mine with some information about it. I am assuming it is a multi-level marketing scheme and she wants to sell me. Just wondered if you have heard of it. Regards, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Stick with the super beneficials for O.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Duncan Coconut oil contains vitamin K, would that make it contraindicated for warfarin and other anticoagulant drugs? Re: Goji Juice According to Ralph Moss it is probably overrated. http://chetday.com/gojijuice.htm Besides, although antioxidants are good, glutathione precursors are better. Says Moss Caution: Every indication is that goji is safe to drink in moderation. However, there is one exception to that rule. Like some other natural products, it may have anti-coagulant activity. While this is generally desirable, it could lead to a dangerous situation for anyone who is taking the prescription medication Warfarin (coumadin). One should therefore be careful about taking the two together, as this could lead to dangerous episodes of bleeding (Lam 2001). Duncan > > > Hi Nina, > > You asked about goji juice.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hello, Actually the juice is not heat processed, and its enzymes are maintained. Goji Juice is a raw whole food supplement product, and is 99.9% pure unpasteurized, pesticide-free chill-blended juice. This has been personally confirmed by the creator of this delicious juice blend, Dr. Earl Mindell. Without the 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate, the juice would never maintain its freshness and reach the market for distribution. It also contains NO added sugar, artificial colors, sweeteners or flavors. Unpasteurized & pesticide-free!THE POWERFUL NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF THIS JUICE BLEND FAR OUTWEIGH THE NEGATIVE .1% THAT'S USED TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS. The juice has many, many times the antioxidant and healing power of the dehydrated berry alone. In the Orient they call Gojis " Happy Berries " . One of the reasons people feel so great drinking Goji Juice is because Goji nutrients support higher levels of HGH release into our bloodstreams. HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is perhaps the most important piece of the longevity puzzle. HGH levels instruct our bodies about how fast to regenerate. As your inter-cellular communication increases strong release signals are sent to the HGH release pathway. HGH is the primary “youthing†hormone in your body. Research indicates HGH blood levels directly relates to youthfulness. Probably because of Goji Juice's dense nutrition, ability to promote release of HGH and ability to amplify inter-cellular (between) and intra-cellular (inside) communications, Goji Juice also appears to be a Perfect Weight Magic Bullet, assisting your body in finding it’s healthiest weight. I'm very surprised to hear someone responding with such warning who has never even researched the juice. Check it out for yourself: www.GojiBook.com and www.BuyGojiWholesale.com.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 If you are eating a whole-foods plant-based diet, you might be able to dispense with the anticoagulants.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I know that my mother was given a handout that warned about foods with vitamin K when she began Coumadin therapy a few years ago. Foods with vitamin K do affect the consistency of the blood and can alter the outcome of the prothrombin time test that determines it's consistency and clotting time (INR). Stands to reason if we ate the proper nutrients we wouldn't need anticoagulants, but my guess is that it's easier to control the amount of anticoagulation with a pill measured in mg than with food! Yikes! Carolsea Re: Re: Goji Juice Lots of leafy green vegetables also contain vitamin K. Do doctors tell people on Those drugs not to eat them?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Has anyone used Goji juice as part of a Lyme treatment. A friend of mine told me recently of a woman who says she was virtually bedridden with Lyme & was " cured " by Goji juice. I am very skeptical. Along the lines of " if it seems too good to be true, etc etc.: " PamN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If you can find old heirloom varieties they are far more healthful, some as much as fourfold. Our modern varieties are bred for colour, keeping quality - everything except nutrition. Cold storing tends to make them go soft and they rot from inside, so if you have access to unsprayed freshly picked fruit or windfalls, you are very lucky!
