Goji Berry Juice

Question: Has anyone trid Acai berry in any form such as Juice, power, pills? There's so much rave about this and goji berry that it has made me curious about it. If anyone has tried it, please give me some feedback on it. There are so many different brands and forms like pills, powder, juice, gel and I dont know which one to try or which was is best if any. If there is anyone out there who recommends it please specify a brand that I can try out. I know about the berry as far as its nutritional value and purpose, but I wanted to know if anyone had any success with it as far as healthy skin, better immune system, dietary supplement? If you have had success and seen it work personally, please let me know and what brand or kind you used.

Answer: I have had acai smoothies (which it was the berry itself with apple juice) and have eaten them raw with granola. It has a very unique flavor. When I first ordered it I was told by the person behind the counter that it tasted like blueberries and chocolate mixed together. You can slightly taste that combination, but there is not one thing I have found that I can compare the taste to. It is suppose to be healthy by: The açaí berry is an antioxidant which has been shown to reduce the prevention of heart and vascular disease. It has been used as an antibacterial mix in Brazil. Because acai is one of the richest sources of antioxidants, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries are being widely promoted. The Acai berry contains the most highly concentrated forms of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. The anthocyanin content in the acai is higher than a glass of red wine, and since wine made from grapes has very high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanins, the polyphenols in red wine are believed to diminish the effects of a fatty diet and smoking. Therefore, the properties in acai may help improve eyesight. Antioxidants are known to fight and regulate cholesterol levels in the body. The acai berry plays a large role in maintaining the cardiovascular system, which is important for better blood circulation. Acai is widely used as a powder extract, which is more powerful than in another form. In addition, acai can be found in supplements such as resveracine, which has now become a popular supplement for those who wish to lower their cholesterol and improve their cardiovascular health. There is approximately 630 mg of acai in resveracine, and has helped in ridding the body of free radicals, and improve cell growth. While antioxidants are derived from natural substances to help fight the damaging effects of free radicals in the body, the acai berry can help boost your body’s immune system and defend against free radical damage.

Question: Has anyone tried Goji Berries or the juice ?? Did you get any health benefits? One of my mates swears by it, but I'm a bit cyinical

Answer: It's real bitter , but it does have alot of your daily needs in it.

Question: Why are Goji berries so expensive? Like 2L of goji berry juice costs $40.00?

Answer: I know they get these berries from the himalayas, and very high altitud, and have 10 times more power than any other antioxidants, the second one important is green tea. I just discovered that you can get these berries in Orientals Market, you pay less than half. take the name with you, and show it to the guy in the store, i think they have another name in chinessee for that,, but they are all the same, with different name. Good luck!

Question: Where Can I Buy Authentic Tibetan Goji berries or Goji online And do they sell Tibetan Goji berries and Juice at local health food stores.

Answer: You can buy them from http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Tibetan%20Goji%20berries&tag=p045-20&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Hope this helps Good luck!

Question: Goji juice??? Has anyone on here ever had it? If so, Is it worth it? The goji berries that supposedly help improve all your health issues or is it just good for you in moderation.

Answer: Goji is a very good fruit that is packed with antioxidants. "Worth it" is a relative statement because different people will have different responses. Because it's a great antioxidant, it can help for all sorts of various health issues (although many of the Multi-Level Marketing companies make more claims than they should to make sales). However, if you have a sufficient source of antioxidants in your diet, you might not get much added benefit from Goji.... although if you are lacking in antioxidants, you'll probably feel a big benefit. Ultimately, my best suggestion is to shop around for a good price, don't buy into all the hype of the MLM companies, and try just one to start with. If you don't like the taste or don't feel any different, don't buy any more of it... but if you like the taste and/or feel better, buy more. Some people love the taste, some hate it, so choose for yourself how you feel about it. Good luck!

Question: how to make own goji juice? HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN CHINESE WOLF BERRIES JUICE

Answer: Rinse your goji berries and add them in a water bottle. If you want more flavor boil the goji berries in water. Once goji berries touch water, they plump up quite a bit. You can eat the goji berries after as well, but if you do not want to just strain them out and you have goji juice. It's very simple! You don't have to add any sugar, but you can if you want.

Question: Has anyone ever seen a Bad "Spectral Signature? I know that Himalayan goji juice says that a special spectral signature will identify the best Goji berry. Anyone with a photo of a "BAD SPECTRAL SIGNATURE". PLEASE tell me where you found it. The one that Himalayan Goji uses is COPYWRIGHTED. If there is a Good one -what did Mindell compare it to? This is important to all Goji drinkers. We need to know how to identify the BAD JUICE.

Answer: Never saw it.

Question: how do i get rid of tonsil stones forever??!? i have had tonsil stones on and off for over a year now. i have tried gargling with warm saltwater, gargling with hydrogen peroxide, going to the doctor, going to the ENT doctor, using a water pick (that did not work- my tongue kept springing forward as a reflex before the water could reach my tonsils). I don't know what to do and I'm sick of them. My ENT doctor said this would be the worst time of my life to take out my tonsils, and that should be the last last resort. how do i get them out once and for all?? i heard some people drink goji berry juice, and that works..does it really work?? POINTS AWARDED TO BEST ANSWER!! to answer tweety's question, since im a teenager, he said your tonsils are super sensitive and they are getting ready to shrink. he said they are the most sensitive at this age and it would hurt. a lot. i would be in A LOT of pain for at least a week and would have to miss school.

Answer: I looked at the site that was provided and I'm not convinced that this kit will rid anybody of tonsilloliths "forever". This kit will allow you to remove the stones that are there but you'll form more over time. The products made for tonsilloliths remove them, they don't stop them from forming. Why would this be the "worst time in [your] life to [have a tonsillectomy]? Did you ask why? Goji juice is relatively healthy but it can't prevent tonsilloliths. One dentist claims to have the cure and says his product dissolves them. You can take a look at it: http://www.therabreath.com/productdetail.asp?cat=4&pid=45 This is a website for that dentist, Harold Katz, DDS. He has a practice in Century City, CA. http://www.therabreath.com/badbreathbible.pdf

Question: What kind of GREEN powder do you use? Each morning for breakfast I have a drink consisting of raw spinach, homemade yogurt, aloe vera juice, chia gel, goji berries, psyllium husk powder and Life's Greens (powder) bought from Puritan's Pride. Does anyone else out there us GREEN powder and, if so, which kind? Brand please.... and link if possible. Also, if you have a drink *recipe* I'd like that as well.

Answer: I regularly use spirulina, chlorella, and kelp, but blue-green algae is very expensive. Most of the green blends are also very expensive, and I doubt they are more nutrient dense or healthy than the aforementioned. These can be found at health food stores such as Whole Foods, Wild Oats, GNC, Trader Joe's, or the Vitamin Shoppe. These green powders tend to have a disagreeable, almost fishy taste to them. But it can be largely neutralized by making a smoothie with orange juice, apple, lime, or other citrus fruit. Make a smoothie as you usually do with fruits, then add a small amount (1 - 2 tsp. or so) of your greens of choice. You could also freshly squeeze an orange or citrus, add the greens (1 tsp. or so again) and blend. It may clump up a bit if you just mix with a spoon, so a blender is recommended.

Question: Does anyone know of a Co. named FreeLife International. I think it's a Pyramid Co. and hard to earn an income? They market a product called Goji Juice and it's supposed to rejuvenate your cells so you live longer. The more people you recruit the higher the level you go up to and that means more income. It seems they're more concerned about recruiting than about selling product...they also sell a few vitamins but mainly the Goji Juice from the Himalya's which Earl Mindell researched and found the goji berry to have something in it that makes a person have greater longevity. If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to have properties that help our cells heal our immune systems which in turn heal all sorts of other ailments we might have. They don't claim that it cures anything though. I have a friend who has been in the business for over 2 years and she thinks the sun rises and sets on this company.The problem is she hasn't made any money just spent her own money going to seminars and buying product for her self. It's like she's brain washed and can't see that the only one's making money are at the top.

Answer: You got it. Multi-level marketing is not a good game to get into unless you're willing to really give it your all and learn advanced marketing techniques and really sell on a large scale. Many people are using the Internet to sell their juice, but some natural health practitioners are selling it as a genuine health product without making heaps of money off of it. Bottom line is you would do a lot better to find your own wholesaler of the berries from China or elsewhere, sell the berries or make them into juice, and sell it yourself. Of course, if everyone did this, the market would become quite saturated, as it is already beginning to get. The bummer with FreeLife is that you make money only after selling the first case, and if you don't sell that first case, you have to buy it. Not to say that you couldn't earn money, just that it is harder than most people think.

Question: Ug...my Aunt still going on and on about Goji berries. Can anyone give me the lowdown? She is now convinced her juice will cure cancer...no joke! People sellin stuff with her are making ridiculous claims. I read all the propaganda her company is putting out in regards to medical and scientific data and none of it actuall says anythign as specific as they are claming...NONE OF IT. I am looking for more specific info as to the Goji scam. Can anyone help?

Answer: Its just another MLM sham cranking up the price of a simple berry to oversell to naive people jumping in for the false dream of MLM riches. Goji berries are your normal Lycium berries. 1) Both Lycium eleagnus pungens and Lycium eleagnus barbarum are manufactured names; there is no such thing, botanically. The berry sold under those names is your normal Lycium barbarum or wolfberry. 2) There is no such thing as wild Tibetan goji berries. These, too, are normal Lycium barbarum berries. Ditto for Himalayan goji. 3) The so-called Tibetan-grown goji berries are a) normal lycium berries (Lycium barbarum), and b) Mongolian-grown, like the rest of the Lycium berries on the market. 4) Lycium is in the Solanaceae (nightshade family). Elaeagnus is in the Elaeagnaceae (oleaster family). They are not related, nor have they been each other's synonyms. 5) You can buy lycium berries (Lycium barbarum) in bulk herb stores at $7-$10 a pound. Good quality lycium berries are the same stuff that is sold as goji for a far higher price. By the way, sulphured lycium berries are bright red-orange, and they are not good quality. 6) The statement that Chinese-grown Lycium berries are pesticide-laden is just commercial competitor-bashing. If somebody tries to tell you that ask them for the lab reports. The name "goji berry" comes of course from the Chinese name for lycium: Gou Qi Zi. It helps to know that qi is pronounced "chi". There. Now, don't get hoodwinked, don't hop onto bandwagons, and don't buy goji berries. Buy unsulphured lycium berries instead. Your wallet will thank you.

Question: Is it me, or does it seem like Oprah's glow is waning a bit? I recently found out that Oprah has a thyroid problem. I was wondering because she doesn't have her natural glow, she seems a little tired. I know that this thyroid thing can do that. But I've got something that her and others can try to help this problem. Dr. Oz talked about Goji berries on her show. Well, I've got the Goji juice! It's been developed by Dr. Mindell, world renowned nutritionalist. If she or anyone else isn't using it, then they are missing out on seriously one of the best things to ever health wise I'm sure be on this planet! It contains more anti-oxidants in the world and is the most nutritious berry in the world. It's helped me with energy, with well being and both of my children with their asthma. And my one daughter who has special needs - I've noticed that it helps her to focus. Her grades are better and her anxiousness. If I can give it to my children and see a change and feel that it's safe, then you can too! Contact me.I'll be glad to talk! I'm asking to see who agrees with me. Because if I observe what I think I observe, I feel that she's sicker than she is letting on! Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Answer: I am not entirely sure if you are asking or telling..sorry: [

Answer: Hey, you know the question you posted a while back asking if you should sleep or clean? Well apparently you have a medical problem. This person saw your question and wanted to answer it for you, but by the time he/she got there, it was already resolved. They were going to send you an email, but you don't allow emails. That's why I added you. I was waiting for you to ask another question so I could take the opportunity to tell you this. Here is the link for more info: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&fid=151844 As for your question, I haven't tried that product, but usually stuff like that is a scam for your money.

You should really consider leaving your email open.

Question: is this the way to a perfect body? i want the perfect toned natural body.....and lose 15lbs i weigh 8 stone 12 at the moment (124lbs) and want to go down to 7 stone 11 (109lbs) if i walk for an hour and dance for an hour a day and have this diet will i lose weight? breakfast - 1 freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, muesli with bio yoghurt, goji berries, strawberries and blueberries lunch - 1 piece plain wholemeal bread with either soup or greek salad. large handful of raisins and 2 squares of lindt 85% chocolate. dinner - stir fry with no pasta/potatoes/rice....just fish/chicken and veg i will have a large breakfast, larger lunch and small dinner and not eat after 7 and no carbs after 4 i'm 20, 5 foot 4 and female

Answer: 1- what is your definition of a perfect body? 2- no, that diet is horrible. i'm being frank here, not to hurt you, but to better your results. you are eating way too little calories for your weight, and too many carbs. there is no protein except for in your last meal. pilates, yoga, boso balls... etc... they never made anyone fit. piece of mind, yes. fit? never. weight trianing, balanced diet (by balanced, i mean a calculated amoutn of protein, carbs, and healthy fats IN EVERY MEAL), and cardio will make your body look better. don't focus on a number. who says you'll look good when you hit 109 lbs? what if you look the same only flabbier and smaller??? would that make you feel better? no! throw the scale away and look in the mirror when you want to judge results. take monthly pictures in the same lighting and same poses to assess progress. the scale is just a number. as for the net being "filled" with information about this... i'd say that 99.99999999999% of the info on the net is invalid and a rip off. I had to pay a lot of money to a lot of professionals to learn what i know today. you won't get any usefull info for free when it comes to fitness and dieting. hope that helps
