Goji Juice Health Stories

Cancer Stories

I’m going to tell you a true story. I have the facts to back it up, everything is documented.

My Dad, in January 2008, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. And not only was it pancreatic cancer, it was the fastest growing cancer, adenocarcinoma, which is the bad stuff.

I happened to be in the hospital right about the time they told him. I walked to my Dad’s bedside and he looked at me and said, “it’s not good news” and he was yellow. He looked almost like he was turning into a banana. He said “Son, what would you do?” They didn’t give him long to live and the prospect of surgery was not real good. It was like he didn’t have any options.

I said “Dad, right off I really don’t know what I would do, but one thing I do know is, I would drink the goji juice like everything!”

Well, that’s where we started. They released him back home and we all prayed about it and he started drinking the juice. We started out with 16 ounces (half a bottle) a day. They gave him a nutrition plan to follow, a food chart, and he started watching foods that were acidic and foods that were alkaline. We took his Ph, it wouldn’t even register it was so acidic. We used some strips and thought maybe they weren’t working right. So we tried some others and had the same result.

Shortly after, it started coming up. It came up to 5 and then 5.8 and then with some input from other people, we decided it wouldn’t hurt him to go to one bottle a day. Right off, his Ph shot up to 7, then 7.4, which was great. I felt good about that.

In the meantime he had a consultation appointment with his doctor. He put us in a little room, I was there with my Mom and Dad. He put the facts to us that no doubt the cancer was dividing each day, getting worse fast. We have no time to lose, we needed to get Dad scheduled for surgery in St. Louis. We needed to get a date and talk to the surgeon. Dad said we were trying the goji juice and didn’t want to go the surgery route.

With the Doctor, that didn’t go down very well. He said, “well we don’t have any time to lose, you’re closing the window of opportunity.” Dad said we’d like to get another blood test done shortly, the same test we had before so we know where we’re at. The Doctor said he wouldn’t do that if we weren’t going the route he suggested. He told Dad he would have to find another doctor and so forth. He told Dad right there, “go home and live it up. If you make it to Spring, you might plant a little garden but he said you’re a goner.”

We went to leave his office and I shared with him, I said, “Well, Doctor, God gave bodies to us that we can heal, whether it’s surgery or whatever, you know.” The doctor was walking behind me and tapped me on the head with his medical papers and said “Son, God gave you a brain and you’d better use it”. And that’s how we left.

We had to get another doctor and had some tests done. Anyway, he’d been on a bottle a day for two weeks when we got the tests, the same identical tests, and we were going to compare them. They took a couple extra tests along with them, one was a CA125, which monitors the cancer cells in your body.

We got the tests back and the doctor called. They were so ecstatic they could not believe it. They said that the blood work came back in the normal range; there were a couple of tests that were a little bit elevated at that time, but the CA 125 was normal.

I couldn’t wait to call my Mom and Dad and relay that to them. That is where we’re at now. His appetite has come back and his color is looking good. It’s a miracle come true. We praise God and are so thankful for the goji berry and the goji juice.

My mother-in-law’s father was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer. His doctors told him it was very aggressive and that he only had a few months to live. And pretty much when western medicine doctors give you the death sentence it’s pretty hard to accept but you don’t see any other avenues. He had been a drinker and a smoker most of his life and didn’t eat right and didn’t take care of himself and so changing his habits wasn’t an option for him either.

They decided to start doing chemotherapy and it just made him really tired and his body was having a hard time accepting the chemo. He was getting sicker from it. And so my mother-in-law decided to start sending him two cases of goji juice every month. He wasn’t into alternative medicine, but he started drinking it and after drinking it for about a week he had another chemotherapy treatment but this time after his treatment he had more energy and it didn’t seem to affect his eating. He really started coming around.

I’m not sure how many treatments of chemo he went through but he had only been drinking goji for two months and his liver cancer was completely gone! His lung cancer is down to the point now where it’s a very small scar, almost unidentifiable.

This is something my mother-in-law did not expect. She was just hoping the goji juice would help him get through his chemotherapy symptoms, and in addition, his cancer is gone!

This is a story about God's miracles. In March 2006, I had pneumonia and after chest x-rays, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. My physician scheduled surgery to remove the cancer, which was then the size of an olive. I informed the doctor that I had planned my upcoming marriage for April 15th and so he agreed we would wait until after the wedding.

On April 26th, I suffered a brain aneurysm and was not expected to live. By God's grace, however, I surprised everyone by living and recovering from brain surgery.

In August 2006, I started chemo and radiation for my lung cancer, which was now the size of a grapefruit instead of an olive. In September, while doing further tests, the doctors discovered cancer in my left hip, liver, and the left side of my skull. I was not only suffering from all the bad effects of chemo and radiation, but was on several medications for pain, depression and hormonal imbalance.

In October 2006, my neighbors came to their house for a few weeks. They had heard about Goji juice a few weeks earlier and had read literature and listened to CD's on their drive down to Florida. One CD specifically told how goji juice can help fight cancer.

These neighbors, whom I barely knew, were so burdened that night after someone told them about my condition, that they brought their goji juice and the cancer CD to me the next day. I was desperate for any kind of help, so I took the information to my doctors. They researched it and told me there was nothing there to hurt me and that I could drink goji along with my other medications.

In November and December, I was still drinking my goji (which I looked forward to each day) but I became so sick that I could hardly lift my head off my pillow and felt so over-medicated that sometimes I did want to die. I missed Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities with my family and friends.

Shortly after that, I started decreasing the medicines without telling anyone and increased my goji juice. I got myself totally off of ALL medications and only drank goji juice.

In January 2007, I had an MRI and CAT scan and the lung cancer had shrunk to the size of a pencil eraser. The cancer in my skull was the size of a pencil lead and there was no sign of cancer in my liver or hip and I have been pain free since stopping the medications.

On January 31st, my neighbors returned to Florida and I had a blood test that day. I was cancer free but my blood cell count was as low as it could be. They suggested I increase the goji juice by 1 ounce a day for the next week when I was scheduled for a repeat blood test. After that one week on increased goji, my blood cell count came back perfect!

Upon a return trip to the doctors, they were shocked and agreed that we have to give the praise to the good Lord, who made the goji berry, and for me finding the goji juice at the right time. They were amazed that I had been on no pain medicines.

I have always been a "believer" but had "drifted" somewhat and I know there is a reason for me still being here on this earth. When I say miracles I really mean it because........what if my neighbors, Carol and Steve, had not heard about goji............what if they had not decided out of the blue to just drive to their house in Florida, something they had never done during that time of the year.........what if they had not brought goji juice to me....what if goji juice had still not been formulated.....what if so many people had not prayed so hard for me.....and more importantly, what if the Lord had not decided to show others a true miracle?

In August 2006, I received a very disturbing email from my friend, Purity, who lives in Kenya, Africa. In the email she informed me that the doctors had said that she might not survive the chemo she needed because of her cancer. They told her that her blood count was very low.

At that time, I had been drinking Goji juice for two weeks and by faith I sent her a case of Goji juice. I did not know what to expect, but God made it all happen. After 3 weeks of drinking Goji juice, she went back for a test, and the doctors were amazed as to what was going on with her. The fact that Goji juice is not common in Africa, she did not know what to say, but she said that in her heart of hearts, she knew Goji had something to do with the changes that were taking place in her body.

She went on to let me know the doctors had found that the cancer was spreading through her lungs. She continued drinking Goji juice and was able to have her six sessions of chemo and at the end of it, in December 2006, she still had most of her hair!

On February 13th, 2007, she text messaged me and said that she was going to have two booster chemos, not because she had a problem, but for security, and that her lung scan came back and that her lungs were as clean as snow. I believe that this happened with the help of Goji juice.

I am still sending the Goji juice to her, and though sometimes I feel the pinch, I thank God that she is enjoying good health. What more can we ask for? I thank God because the berries are God-given. What a gift of health!

My dad has been dealing with cancer since Sept. 2003. He had colon cancer and started his chemo for 6 months. The doctor said he was all set and that they didn't have to see him for another year.

In Dec. 2004. he started to feel pain on the left side of his pelvic. Again more chemo. Every time my dad did chemo, he would go in the hospital dehydrated and very sick. Well, he did his second bout of chemo for another 6 months. Now, after 6 months of chemo and more pain and cancer in three different places, the abdomen, liver and pelvic. We took him for a second opinion and the specialist tells us that dad has metastases cancer and that he would have to do chemo for the rest of his life.

We were all disappointed and didn’t know what to do anymore! We were losing our dad very quickly, until an angel that our mom sent to me, named Lynne, convinced me to try Goji juice. I’m so grateful that I did! My dad is back with a beautiful color, energy, no more depression medications. His cea’s (carcinoembryonic antigen) were 48 and in a matter of a month they went down to16. I’m positive the results are going to get better. He‘s only 68 years young and we need him around a lot longer!

I thank GOD for the Goji Berry and for Lynne.

I just wanted to let people know I had skin cancer and it was getting worse. The doctor said they wanted to biopsy it and remove it right away. But after drinking the Goji juice for just 7 days it has vanished. You know how the saying goes that “the proof is in the pudding“, well this proof is in the Goji juice. Now my whole family is drinking it.

Thanks, Cindy

I had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for breast cancer in 1988. Then in the fall of 2001, I had a recurrence of breast cancer. This time I had a double mastectomy and strong chemotherapy, but during chemo the cancer spread into my chest wall. I then began radiation to my chest wall, while still on chemotherapy.

All of this treatment left me very weak and drained of energy, fighting almost constant depression, horrible sleeping problems, plus the radiated skin on the left side of my chest was in very bad condition.

I began drinking goji July 2005. My energy level started coming up after about the second week, my depression began to lessen, I began to sleep better, and to my amazement, the skin on my chest started feeling better. I now have been drinking goji for about 4 months and I'm feeling so much better.

Goji has truly been a Godsend for me.

Sherry W., Washington State

Follow up to Sherry's story:

5/2006 Since my breast cancer surgeries in 2001, I have had lymphedema in the armpit and side where the surgeon removed lymph nodes. Lymphedema happens to many who have had breast cancer. The lymphatic system can backup because of the removal and/or radiation to the lymph nodes causing pain and lack of movement, etc., to the arm and shoulder. I was basically told that I would have to live with it, as I tried physical therapy, with no success.

After being on the goji juice since July 2005, just this past April 2006, I began to notice that there has been much less swelling and backup of my lymphatic system. This is so wonderful, I can barely believe it. It has taken 8 months for the goji to clean up and help with this, but it shows that with continuous use, goji just keeps working. I also continue to have the great benefits of sleeping better, more energy, and less depression. What a wonderful gift goji juice continues to be!

This is my story. it was three years ago this past March that I had breast cancer surgery, followed by chemo, radiation, and a year of mostly sleeping. I actually was still very tired and slept in till 10: 30 am. most days. Then I needed to rest again in the afternoon. I couldn't get motivated to do any extra cleaning or even the laundry. My dear husband and son did most of the daily routine around the house. Our son asked my husband, "What's with mom, sleeping all the time"? My husband said, "She'll never be the same."

This past February, my cousin encouraged me to try this juice, Goji juice but I thought it was much too expensive. Finally with some coaxing I thought, what have I got to lose?

So, I decided to give it a try. In four days I was up and about at 7 am. My husband couldn't believe it. And our son asked me, "Mom are you on speed?" because I was cleaning a lot and was feeling full of energy.

My heels were always so dry and cracked that they'd often bleed, I tried many different lotions with only temporarily relief, now they are awesome. I intend to drink Goji juice as long as I live. I want to fight my cancer and keep it in remission.

Thank God for this wonderful product and all who made it possible for me to enjoy it.

On January 6, 2006, my father had bowel resection surgery to remove a mass in his abdomen. The surgery was very successful and Dad came through very well. I went to visit him in the hospital the next weekend and was shocked to see how much weight he had lost! My father was down to only 115 pounds, and was having a big challenge with lack of appetite. At the end of January my oldest brother called me home because he was certain we were going to lose our father. On February 6, he began drinking Goji juice. During my stay I took Dad back to the major center to meet with a hematologist.

This doctor delivered some grave news for Dad. He was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma — Enteropathic lymphoma. He explained that Dad would need to have chemotherapy treatments to fight this. Dad was sent back to the Cancer Institute on March 6 for a CT scan and a heart scan. He was advised that the results wouldn’t be ready for a couple of weeks or so, and his next appointment was booked for March 22. It was explained to us that the doctor would do blood tests on Dad on March 22 and if he determined that Dad was ready for chemotherapy, he would start his treatments the next day. The doctor was very concerned that Dad had lost so much weight. All along he continued to drink Goji juice — an ounce at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime.

When Dad went back to the Cancer Institute on March 22, he received more astounding news! This time it was much better. He does NOT require chemotherapy! And he has gained 10 pounds back in 3 weeks! He will have to start radiation treatments in April for 3 weeks, but he is doing very well and is back enjoying old time dancing! Dad turned 75 years old on Valentine’s Day, and has been retired for 10 years now. As a senior, he needs to have a day planner, as he is very, very active. I give thanks daily that he is returning to the activities that he loves.! ! And I give thanks daily for being introduced to Goji juice!

Thanks!

On November 24, 2005, I was diagnosed with rapidly spreading prostate cancer. I was sent for this evaluation because my PSA was over 10. Scared does not describe the terror I felt. I had plans for the future and a late life nine year old child.

I had heard of others that drank Goji juice and experienced an improvement with cancer. I went from drinking 2 oz a day to drinking 2 oz three times a day. I also tried to eat healthier foods.

I discussed my hope for dealing with this nutritionally with the MD Specialist who diagnosed and would be treating my cancer. While he was openly skeptical, he said it would not hurt to postpone surgery or radiation treatment for 3 months.

February 15, 2006, my PSA today was 7.1. This was about a 30% reduction. I had done a CAT scan that showed no spread of the cancer. In fact, it showed that the mass was not growing.

March 30, 2006, I again saw my doctor. After reviewing my tests he comfortably stated, “you’re looking and sounding good”. He was happy to agree to monitor my PSA every few months and not do any medical treatment.

When I asked him how I would know if the cancer was growing, in spite of good PSA levels, he indicated a digital rectal examination of the prostate. Following the exam he exclaimed, “You could pass any physical exam. I can’t even tell anything is there”!

I just had some wonderful news about my friend Marilyn. She had an ultra-sound yesterday and the girl fiddled around for a while and then went out to get the Doctor. When he came in and started working on her she said, "Okay, this is my third go-around with cancer and when you guys start this, the news isn't good." (She had three tumours on her liver). His response was "Quite the contrary Marilyn ... there is no sign of any of the tumours on your liver."

She was taking 6 oz per day and increased to 8 oz. per day. She also had two tumours on her spine and her hip broke when she fell and they have put a temporary rod in her hip etc because of bone cancer as well. Her original sight is breast cancer. They now are going to do a bone scan and MRI. Her blood went down slightly this week as it had been climbing 3 to 4 points a week up until now in all six categories.

She looks radiant and her colour is amazing and the black bags under eyes have almost vanished.

God made you one of His special angels for bringing GOJI to the world.

Doreen, Calgary, Canada

We've been doing the "dance of joy". My father had a psa count of 20 for his prostate cancer 3 months ago. Well, he came back from the cancer clinic last Friday. His doctor was totally amazed....there wasn't a trace of cancer anywhere! And we truly believe this is because he's been drinking goji, which helped him recover from two strokes (see story under "stroke" category).

Karen, K., Canada

In September 2003 I suffered a Grand Maul Seizure and after several tests I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma Brain Cancer. The doctors performed emergency surgery but were unable to remove all of the tumor. As a result we decided on a course of aggressive radiation and chemotherapy. I received 5 point radiation treatments five days a week for a period of 7 weeks and supported that treatment with oral chemotherapy for one year.

In December of 2004 I completed my treatment but was faced with the prognoses of lifelong seizures and was prescribed medication consisting of Dilanton and Neurontin, both of which I was told I would have to take for the rest of my life. Both drugs made me very lethargic and I had a foggy mind most time being unable to remember small details from most things happening around me in my life, this lead me to be declared disabled and I was not allowed to work. This created a degree of stress for me leading me towards depression and also added a high level of stress on my husband and daughter, to add more stress in terms of finances, every six weeks I would have to come into the hospital and have an MRI completed to measure changes concerning the tumor.

In June of 2005 shortly after my most recent MRI, my husband and I had been praying for a direction to use my story to help others and also I was asking for relief from the depression and weight gain I had experienced over the past year and a half. An angel named Lauren came into my life and introduced me to goji. After hearing the money back guarantee and figuring I had nothing to lose I began drinking it daily.

In August I returned for my MRI and after viewing the scans, my surgeon, my treating doctor and my radiologist huddled outside the consultation room discussing their findings. I was becoming apprehensive and my husband tried to get closer to ease drop in hopes of gaining any insight into their concerns, but when they came into the room my doctors were amazed at the improvement in my scans and called me "the hoped for text book case" they were so impressed with the improvement in the area around the small fishhook shaped tumor and the defined edges ( a good thing meaning no activity in the tumor and brain tissue regeneration) that they told me my scans would now be 4 months apart and to my amazement they also took me off the medication I previously was told I would be on for life.

I believe without a doubt that the goji helped my body begin to repair itself, as it was the only change I had made in my life. I now have improved stamina, work out regularly, I am losing weight, and by being free of the drugs, I am as active as I ever was before the cancer.

I thank God everyday for Lauren and Goji.

After surgery in April 2004 and the radiation and chemo that followed, I found myself weak, 25 pounds lighter and unable to even consider going back to work. A friend suggested goji, but I was skeptical.

I began drinking the juice mid-August. At first I felt nothing. Then one night 4 or 5 weeks later, I was sitting at my desk at night and realized I had worked the full day without a nap. I felt vibrant.

I visited my speech therapist (my cancer began in my tonsil), who had not seen me for a month. She was blown away. The previous month I could barely swallow solid food and took nutrition from a feeding tube. By the time I saw her in September, the feeding tube had been removed and I was eating solids.

Also, I had color in my face and I had started working again at home using the phone, a major step for someone who had been struggling to recover from the damage surgery did to my tongue nerves and throat.

In mid-October I visited my oncologist. He came in with my blood test results and said, "What the heck is going on with your blood?" It was so much better. In December he called my blood "perfect."

Douglas C., Beverly Hills, CA

In March 2004, I was released from the hospital where I had surgery for stage 3 colon cancer. The cancer had spread to my lymph nodes and the doctors recommended chemotherapy. My husband and I were emotionally and financially down and out! We decided to try the natural medicine route for my recovery rather than chemo. I started getting better but had absolutely no energy.

A good friend told us about goji and I jumped at the chance to see if goji would help me feel better and bring back my energy. Within five days, I noticed an increase in my energy level. Soon I was returning to my old self! My joy for life was coming back. I became myself again and could take care of my young son and husband.

I am so thankful for goji. It gave me my life back.

Mary B., North Carolina

My father passed away with bone cancer two years ago. It started as a growth in his throat. He was a doctor and all these symptoms were doctor diagnosed. I am an Iridologist and a Reflexologist and prefer to heal naturally. I had exactly the same symptoms as he did.

Four years ago I noticed pain in my left femur and of course worried about it immensely. I would always favor that side of my body because of the feeling there. After one month on goji, I was still favoring my body but noticed there was no reason to favor it - the bone discomfort was completely gone. From the reflexology reflex the same throat growth (his was diagnosed as Zenker's diverticulum) is decreased approximately one half at this time. I have no doubt it will completely disappear. Also my voice is stronger and I can speak and sing without shaking as well. My wife noticed that my usual hand tremor has disappeared.

I never was a doubter but to any who might doubt my story, I invite you to try it for yourself. Mark down your symptoms before you start and just give it a chance.

I believe that God wants all creations to be healthy. I thank God for this gift.

Larry W., Alberta, Canada

For the past 8 years I have been struggling with cancer. I have tried every conceivable nutritional product on the market in the hopes of gaining a better standard of life. Absolutely, I admit many did help; however, goji has finally and unequivocally changed my life. My health is 100%. For the first time in 8 years I am completely cancer free!

Malcolm, Canada

In August 2003, my father was diagnosed with throat cancer and he had to go through radiation, chemotherapy and eventually surgery. He was having a difficult time dealing with all the side effects of these treatments. He had lost a lot of energy and he also lost a great amount of weight. My friend had told me all about goji and how she thought it might be able to help him. We began giving it to him three months after his surgery. He went to his Doctor’s office for a follow up examine. The Doctors noticed that my father had color back in his face and gained a good amount of weight. He was healing fine from the surgery. To date my father's cancer remains in remission with no sign of tumor growth. Thanks to goji my father is back. He is healthy and my children have their grandfather back and we have a loving father with us.

Betty, California

Lester has Lymphoma and was given 2 to 9 months to live. He was scheduled to take 10 Chemo treatments every 21 days. He had taken 5 when we became aware of goji. Lester’s health was deteriorating rapidly while taking the Chemo treatments. We decided we were willing to try anything!

Two months ago (before goji) his white blood cell count was 34,000. We got our first bottle of Goji in November and he started drinking 8 oz every day. A week later he went in for his 6^th treatment and his white blood cell count had dropped to 30,000.

Twenty-one days later he went back for another treatment and his white blood cell count had dropped to 19,000. The normal blood count is between 8,000 to 11,000. His spleen has shrunk and is going down fast (a good thing). He is now recovering much faster from his Chemo treatments and he has 3 more to go.

It is a 400-mile round trip to the Doctor and Lester is doing all the driving. He is now able to work outside and is even chopping wood. I truly believe Lester would be gone now if he were not drinking the goji. I am so relieved. He is going to live. Thanks to our Heavenly Father and the wonderful goji.

Edna’s story about her husband, Lester

While getting a checkup, the Doctor told me something I never wanted to hear, “you have stage 3 colon cancer“, which surprised me because I‘ve been in very good health all my life.

After major surgery and taking out a foot of my colon, the doctor told me I had a 50% chance of living, and by taking chemo for 6 months, I would have an additional 15% chance. I started taking the chemo but after three months the doctor told me my platelets were down to 88,000 and we would need to stop the chemo until such time the platelets come back up to 100,000, and he knew of nothing I could do to help bring them back up.

Then I was introduced to goji. Immediately when I got my order, I started drinking 6 oz each day. Two weeks later they tested my platelets and found them back up to 123,000 and I was able to finish the chemo and I am now cancer free.

The goji helped me start thinking better, feeling better and walking better. I have my life back now and drink 4 oz of Goji a day. Thank you to Goji. (Note: Platelets keep you from bleeding when you get a cut.)

Don V., Washington

I was diagnosed with Stage 2b breast cancer in July 2005. I went through a modified mastectomy, 4 months of chemo, and 6 weeks of radiation.

My cancer returned on my chest wall in August 2006 and I had to start over but the difference was my friend, Jesse, had introduced me to Goji juice. I had been drinking 4 ounces a day but I increased it to 16 oz daily. My second chemo was like night and day with energy levels. Especially because since it was less than a year since my last treatment, it should have taken its toll but I continued working, cleaning my house, going to church...life!

My tumors did not go away so I had surgery to remove my chest wall, all tissue and skin with a skin graft from my upper thigh to cover the surgery. The results were the best they could have hoped for with no cancer in the muscle or surrounding tissue and not even in a swollen lymph node under my arm. All scans show my cancer is no where to be found and my quick recovery from major surgery surprised the doctors.

I was told to take coumadin for blood clots from the chest port but I chose not to because I knew the Goji juice was helping my blood move through my body better. They also asked me to consider taking a strong anti-inflammatory for the rest of my life to "maybe" help stop another recurrence, but I've chosen to go the natural route by eating and drinking right and of course taking my 8-12 oz. of Goji juice a day.

Goji juice has given me hope along with the many people who prayed for my health to return. I also thank God who created the Goji berry, those who found it and introduced it to all of us in need, which includes everyone!

Thank you.
