Arthritis Stories
Before being introduced to Goji Juice I was
experiencing problems with arthritis in my elbows. Shortly after I
started drinking Goji Juice I noticed that the pain was coming less
frequently. I also noticed that I was experiencing more mental clarity,
I was getting a better quality sleep, and I had a lot more energy then
before. I have been drinking Goji Juice for 15 months now and am happy
to say I have no pain in my elbows whatsoever. I am very excited about
what the Goji Juice has done for me and will be drinking it for the rest
of my life. I am thankful for this great product.

I had suffered from severe arthritis in my
knees for about 5 years. My knees would ache constantly and if I was on
my feet for any amount of time they would swell up to the point that
they no longer resembled knees, many times to the point where I would be
immobile for several days.
A friend of my husbands introduced us to the Goji juice and although
skeptical, I eventually decided to give it a try. I started on 2 oz a
day and after 2 weeks the pain and swelling in my knees appeared to be
cut in half. After 1 month all swelling and pain had completely
disappeared. I was so happy now that I could once again do many things
that I hadn't been able to do due to the pain and swelling.
I am very excited to share that in December 2006 I celebrated one year
pain-free from the arthritis in my knees. I had other concerns prior to
the Goji Juice such as, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and
restless leg syndrome. Another concern was that my monthly cycle had
been changing and I was experiencing terrible pain in my legs during
that time. The pain was so severe that I required very strong pain
medication in order to get some relief. With that came the start of hot
flashes and mood swings.
Over the course of several months my blood pressure normalized, my
cholesterol came down to safe levels, my restless leg syndrome
disappeared, the pain in my legs is no longer an issue, my mood swings
became less and less frequent and I no longer have problems with hot
flashes. My energy levels increased greatly and I sleep a deep restful
sleep. My husband says I am a completely different person now.
Thank you to everyone that played a part in bringing Goji Juice to us
and to the world. We are truly blessed.

Due to lack of calcium throughout my entire life, I had bone
deterioration in my lower jaw and had to have a bone grafted to the
entire lower jaw. They took a 2" X 5" section of bone from my right
hip. Arthritis set in and I suffered with the pain in my hip from
that surgery for 27 years...could even tell the day before that it
was going to rain...I had a built in barometer! I could not walk
fast nor raise my right leg very good...and when it rained, I hurt
so bad that I walked with a limp. I also could not lay on my right
side; so I had slept on my left side for those 27 years. A few
months after drinking the goji juice, I was able to sleep on my
right side with no discomfort and my hip no longer alerted me to the
rain forecasts. I can walk faster and also raise my right leg.

I work for the Post Office and walk around 15
miles everyday for my route. I have inherited arthritis and have battled
it for many years. My husband got me on the Goji Juice and I noticed
several things that have changed in my life. My joints are not as sore
anymore, and the movement in my knees has improved considerably. When I
got married I told my husband not to
touch my knees because they always hurt so bad. I have not had to tell
him that since being on Goji Juice. I have noticed considerable changes
in my energy level also. Since the job puts wear and tear on my body,
I've noticed I can actually last longer in the day than I had before.
I also noticed that my migraine headaches are now few to none when they
were frequent and to the point where I would have to stay in a chair
with a cold rag on my head and take pain pills, and often cry because of
the pain. My husband told me he had not seen my with any migraines since
being on the Goji Juice.....! I never want to be without this wonderful
product.

I have had chronic back pain since having four
children. My youngest is now 31 years old. I have been to many
doctors, chiropractors, had MRI's, therapy, pain medicine and nothing
has helped. Over a year ago I was told I have arthritis in my back. So I
have lived with this pain and for many years and some days I am hunched
over and can't even stand straight when I wake up in the morning.
I have been drinking Goji Juice for about three weeks and have been pain
free for one week. I can't believe it, when I wake up in the morning, I
jump out of bed and don't hurt anywhere. Thank you, Goji Juice for
giving me my life back.

For more than twenty years I had arthritis. The
pain would be so intense I had to take pain killers so I could move.
Taking off a jersey was such a problem that my wife or children had to
pull it off me. I could not raise my hand above my head. I thought that
because I was getting older I had to get sick. I have some friends who
are doctors, telling me that there is no cure for arthritis. I was stuck
with taking tablets that were damaging my stomach, which in turn caused
my acid level to be so high that it gave me very intense headaches. I
had resigned myself to taking medications, which were not helping in any
way. I could not eat any fruits, ketchup, and mustard or drink any
juices.
A friend introduced me to Goji juice. I am
always looking for anything to help me, so I started drinking 2-4 ounces
daily. My pain flared up intense for about a week off and on, and then,
after that I’ve had no pain at all. Now I eat and drink anything, have
no acid problem and no headaches. I have lost about 12 pounds without
going on a diet, a hernia problem is no longer causing any discomfort,
and it’s receding in size, a pleasant side effect from the juice.
At the age of 10 years, my son could not move
to get out of bed. I thought he had a stroke, as my father also was a
stroke patient. I took him to Mount Hope and after the doctors had
tested all possibilities they informed me
that he had arthritis. I asked the doctor how can a child, 10 years old
get arthritis? He replied that even new born babies could have
arthritis. Over the next four years, I gave him medicine whenever he had
bouts of arthritis. For most of those 4 years he would get out of bed
and drag one of his legs when walking in the morning, sometimes it was
so severe he had to stay away from school.
I gave him Goji juice and within one month he
stopped getting pains. Now he is running and playing like never before.
Thanks to God and Goji juice, he is a normal healthy 14 year old boy.
My Mother had arthritis for a very long time.
It was so bad, her joints, ankles and fingers were all swollen and had a
shinny look. She was in constant pain, she would cry when moving. She
was always taking medication. I told her about Goji juice. She was
really fed up taking medication and not getting any relief.
Within a few days of her drinking Goji juice, I
noticed that she was not crying with pain any more. I then told my
brother who usually buys her a lot of so called nutritious drinks, to
buy Goji juice instead. He readily did so because he saw that Goji was
really helping her. Now at present her total heath is on the increase,
all swelling is gone and she is very happy once more, all thanks to God
and Goji.
We will be drinking Goji juice as long as it’s
available to us.

I have been drinking Goji juice for two years
now. I have very bad arthritis in my hands and I could not let anyone
shake my hands nor could I touch my knuckle joints without severe pain.
We were also going through a very stressful time in our business and I
was only sleeping two hours a night.
After the end of the first week of taking Goji
juice, I started sleeping six hours a night and my stress levels were
way down. After two months, the pain in my hands disappeared and I am
feeling like a million dollars.
I will drink Goji Juice for life!

I am in remission from Rheumatoid Arthritis. I
have had this condition for eight and a half years. I am 42 years old
and about a little over a year ago I had to stop working because the
pain and swelling was so bad in my hands and feet. I had problems taking
care of my boys, in fact, most days my husband and sons took care of me.
I started drinking Goji juice in October and
literally within a couple of days I noticed a difference. A month went
by and my rheumatologist was amazed at my progress. I have now been
drinking the Goji juice for eight months and I can honestly say that it
has given me my life back. I am back at work, riding my horses and lead
a very active life. Thank you and thank heavens for the Goji berry.!!!!!
Sincerely, Gigi M.
Since I began drinking Goji juice in March
2006, the pain in my shoulder, elbow and hands have decreased 95% as I
only have pain if I bump them. I believe that the bones are starting to
heal but need time as I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, nearly
25 years ago.
My doctor described my left shoulder as so
deteriorated that there was little chance that even a replacement (2nd)
would be accepted by the limited bone mass left. That is not good news
because I use my left arm to lift specially designed utensils to reach,
type, and to feed myself. At times, the pain was so severe that I was
unable to use my arm, including feeding myself. During periodical
painful weeks, I would eat as an animal might, bending my head down into
a bowl as I pick up the food, in my teeth. That is messy, ha ha ha!
A year ago my left elbow was dislocated when I reached up to scratch my
left ear. My body was reacting to a sick system of illness and
poor PH balance, even as I struggled to eat properly to improve my diet.
I noticed that even my hands and fingers (already deformed) would often
hurt.
I can now roll over onto my left shoulder, to rest at night. Its been
years since I could lay in bed other than
on my back exclusively. Try laying flat on your back for well over 15
years, for sleep. It took me at least 5 years to get used to doing this,
as I attempted to fall asleep (in pain).
Recently, I broke my left big toe. Doctors do not usually set toes, for
healing. They must be left for time to heal. I broke a toe a long time
ago and it did not heal (meaning; no pain) for 6 weeks. This time, it
healed within a few days. It was the morning after the break that the
pain was tolerable and the third, showed that the back/blue coloring had
grayed and with nearly no pain.
I have many ailments due to this disease. I look forward to experiencing
even more improvements as time passes. Thank you Kelly for giving me the
gift of hope (healing time) via Goji juice.
Peggy K. Orlando, FL
I am so grateful for goji juice. I used to get
headaches at least 3 or 4 days every week but within days of drinking
goji the headaches were gone.
I have arthritis in my knees enough that I
could not bend down without extending my right leg to the side because
it would not bend that far, now I can do deep knee bends.
I'm 53 and was having night sweats and hot
flashes, within 2 days, the night sweats stopped and the hot flashes
kept getting less intense and after 2 months they were gone too.
I have taken OTC allergy medicine for years,
all year long, now I take none.
I really do love Goji juice.
Marian S., Apollo, PA
When I started drinking Goji juice I really didn't have high hopes,
but boy did I get a surprise. Within 24 hours after drinking 3
ounces, 2 times a day, all the swelling and stiffness in my hands
was gone. I have been a massage therapist for 15 years and the pain
had gotten so bad I was going to retire. After 4 weeks on the goji
juice all the arthritis pain in my knuckles is gone. I sleep great
and have more years to work pain free, what a blessing that God has
made the goji.
Sandy J., California
For many years I suffered with the discomfort
of painful arthritis in my hands, knees and feet. Some days the joints
in my fingers would swell and my hands would stiffen into claws. Other
days my knees would ache so much I could barely bend them. When the pain
was intense, I would take medication but most often endured the aches
and pains and considered them another unpleasant part of growing older.
I was introduced to Goji juice by a special
friend. Several months after consistently drinking the juice I realized
that the painful discomfort had decreased dramatically. I also noticed
increased energy, stamina and a much more positive attitude which I
attribute to this wonderful product. I am delighted that the increase in
energy and stamina has contributed to improved physical workouts. I am
very grateful to my special friend for sharing the secret of the goji
berry with me.
Celeste K., Roswell, GA
At age 49, after suffering with knee pain from
arthritis in both knees for several years, I went to my family physician
and was told to take ibuprofen to take down the inflammation and help
with the pain. After several months of taking huge doses, I was told by
a knee specialist that most likely I would have to have both knees
replaced in ten to fifteen years. He prescribed even higher doses of
ibuprofen, which only reduced my pain slightly.
Then I was introduced to goji and after 4 days was able to stop
all medication with about 70% of the pain gone, and after 2 months on
goji, all my former pain is gone and I can once again go for
family walks with my wife and young son.
Thanks for the wonderful goji.
Bob B., Calgary Canada
goji has stopped my
chronic back pain that I had developed over the years from lifting heavy
objects and it has considerably reduced my pain associated with
Rheumatoid Arthritis. In addition, I have lost 20 pounds without
adjusting any of my eating habits. I have high blood pressure and have
been able to come completely off my blood pressure medicine.
Lloyd D., Texas
I am 86 years old and I have experienced
arthritic pain
and discomfort in my knees and back to the point that I could hardly walk.
Nothing seemed to help. My daughter ordered us some goji and
within a few weeks of drinking it, I have no pain in my knees or
my back. Today I went to the store and walked as big a step as anyone. I
am so thankful for this product.
Ralph, North Carolina
I am a 58 year old woman who has
been in extreme pain all over my body for 16 years. I had severe
pain, stiffness and weakness in all my muscles and joints, bone spurs,
severe anemia, esophageal spasms, chronic gastritis with reflux, muscle
spasms in both hands, feet and both legs, lumbar myopathy, lumbar
radiculopathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome. All this was in addition to
other illnesses exacerbated by stress, depression and side effects from
prescription medications.
One day in late December of 2004, God sent a gentleman to my home with a
bottle of goji. That was just the beginning of my recovery. My son
had met him at lunch that same day.
Within a month and a half, after only 7 bottles of Goji, the severe pain
and chill in the middle of my bones was gone. I have lost 15 pounds even
though the prescription medication I am taking causes weight gain. I am
down to 5 mg of my medication which I have never been able to reduce
that low in the past. Three times now I have been able to put weight on
my left hip which has severe degenerative disease. My nerves are better
and my voice is strong. My kidneys were functioning at 45% and very
painful. Now they don't hurt at all and after my last test I was told
they were okay. Each day I am getting better and better.
Now my tears are tears of joy when I think of how far God has brought me
since I began drinking goji. I will never stop raising my glass to
Goji.
Wanda, California
I had a lot of problems with knee pains (both knees) since I was 13
years old, especially in damp and cold weather, to the point that I
could not walk at times, but the goji has helped me be pain free
in that area.
I had a small lump on both my wrists due to years of computer use and I
recently noticed that both have gone down to the point that one is
completely gone and the other is almost gone too. My hands, which were
once weak, are now getting stronger.
Lilly, Pennsylvania
I am so thankful for goji! I started
drinking it May 13, 2004.
For many years, I have suffered arthritis pain. I used to slump over
because my back hurt so bad. I couldn't walk much because my feet hurt
so bad. After just two months of drinking four ounces a day of the goji, I have absolutely no more arthritis pain!!
I’ve also had great results with regard to
weight loss, energy, migraine headaches, mood and interest in men!
Anyway, I am so thankful to God for bringing the goji into my
life.
Ann H., Oklahoma
My aches and pains from arthritis have gone
away. My joints were hurting so bad I couldn't shake
hands with my son who is a world
champion bareback rider and has a very firm grip. Since I began
drinking goji I can shake hands again because I am pain free.
This is particularly important for me
personally as a Pharmacist working long hours on my feet and I was
taking too many over-the-counter pain pills to get through a shift. Now I seldom
take any!
We have a God-send if Goji gives
others the same pain relief it gives me and eliminates the need for Cox
2 inhibitors that are now being taken off the market because of the
many life threatening side effects.
Bob M., Pharmacist, Texas
I just turned 40 and I had
developed Osteoarthritis in my right knee.
It is
extremely painful. After one week on goji
the pain and swelling completely went away and I was able to walk and
run on the treadmill. This is a major feat as I am a large-sized
individual. I have had an increase in energy and I sleep better then
ever. I have found myself wanting to exercise more lending itself to my
weight loss program. It has also helped reduce my stress and anxiety. I
am a much happier person from taking this product.
I am thankful
to have been introduced to
goji. My family and I will
drink this wonderful juice forever!
Joan D., Texas
I'm 82 years old and started drinking 2-4
ounces of goji a year ago this month. Before I started drinking
Goji, I had severe problems with one of my knees for some time and was
considering having surgery. Also, I had developed a lot of pain in one
of my wrists and it got to the point that I had no strength to grip
anything and could not grasp things without a great deal of pain. I also
had arthritis-like pain in my right shoulder as well. After a short
while on Goji, the pain in my knee, wrist and shoulder is gone and I
have full flexibility in them. Also, my friends often mention how much
energy and stamina I have for my age. I will never
stop taking my Goji.
