Goji Juice Health Stories

Diabetes Stories

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes two years ago and was put on medication. Shortly thereafter, I started drinking Goji Juice and within a day or two, together with the medication, my blood sugar level plummeted way too low forcing me to reduce my medication. This I did over a carefully monitored six week period. At the end of which, I was thrilled to learn that with proper diet and exercise and daily consumption of Goji Juice, my sugar levels have normalized and have remained that way since.

I feel very compelled to share my “Goji” story with anyone and everyone who will listen because Goji juice has completely changed my life.

Before I began drinking Goji juice, I had constant back pain from the minute I would make the bed in the morning, and when I would try to shop with my friends, I could only walk a short distance and was completely in pain.

When I would run the sweeper, by the time I was about half finished, I would get my office chair and push the sweeper that way. I have diabetes and was taking meds for that and high cholesterol and the meds I was taking had many bad side effects.

When I first started to drink Goji juice, I did not take it as I should have and at first truly did not believe it would help me. Soon I decided to take it on a regular basis. Drinking two ounces twice a day, Goji juice has made a new person out of me. I no longer take medication for my diabetes or cholesterol and my back pain and arthritic pain have completely gone away.

I cannot believe how Goji makes my days so wonderful. I can now run the sweeper, get around great, shop till I drop and do regular routine household duties with no pain.

I save so much money because I don’t have to buy meds and I no longer have side effects; I will drink Goji juice forever. I have been overweight and have tried sooo many different diets and after drinking the juice, I have lost over 50 pounds and am still losing.

I love to help others who need to feel better too!

This is what happen to me when I started drinking Goji juice fourteen months ago. I was on 1500 mg of diabetes medication and I was taking two blood pressure meds because I was over weight and my blood pressure was high.

I started drinking 4 ounces of Goji juice a day and got amazing results within about ten days. After drinking the juice for about two months, I was able to get off all my meds and after fourteen months, I’ve lost about 100 pounds. Goji juice has given me my life back.

I went to my doctor after about three months to have my blood sugar and blood pressure tested to make sure my readings where right. My blood sugar was 116 and my blood pressure was normal.

JC (J. Carpenter), Ohio

In January 2006, I was diagnosed with diabetes. My glucose level was above 700. My blood sugar reading was so high I could have lapsed into a comma. I was hospitalized for 1 week after which the doctor sent me home to medicate myself. I was given two insulins to administer through needles. Three time a day I would prick myself in the stomach.

In February 2006 I was introduced to goji juice by my niece. I took 2 capfuls twice a day for a period of 1 1/2 months. Today, I am free of needles, my hair that had turned gray is now turning black again due to goji's anti-aging properties. I have dropped about two pant sizes due to weight loss and my doctor continues to give me good reports when I go for checkups. I have so much energy now. I sleep well at night. I can't praise God enough for allowing me to come into contact with this health promoting product that is doing great things in my body.

I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in January 2006. From the very onset I had neuropathy in my right leg and foot. It was so intense that it would keep me from sleeping at night. At each doctor's visit, I would say something to him about it and his only response would be that he
wanted to monitor it for another 3 months to see if the diabetic medication would begin to help. For 7 months there was no change and then on a Thursday I began to drink Goji juice and by the following Monday morning the tingling was gone and has not returned. I will be a Goji juice drinker for the rest of my life!!!

Peg B - Anna, OH

I've had diabetes for about 20 years and started drinking Goji juice in October 2005. My blood count would run from 300 to 600 and now it runs about 100 all the time, every once in a while it is 120. There are days I take no insulin at all or my blood sugar drops too low. I'm taking from 4-6 ozs of Goji a day and I love the taste. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in the fall of 2005, and at my checkup the first of August my doctor told me my heart is now normal. A side effect for me is the loss of 40 pounds. It's the best thing that ever happened to me and has saved me a lot of money.

I have been drinking the Goji juice for over 3 months and it has been working great by lowering my fasting blood sugars. My blood work for anemia is better and also other areas of my blood have improved.

I have kidney disease so cannot take much for pain and one day I realized I was not taking Tylenal on a daily basis any more because Goji juice has also helped me with my chronic pain.

In July of 1994, I was in a car accident. My knees were crushed, my pelvis was broken, my hip was broken, my spine was damaged, my mandible was dislocated, and my glucose level was 400. I became a Diabetic. Everything mended and along came arthritis. All the doctors told me I would never walk normal again.

Well, the Lord took me out of the wheelchair to the quad cane, to walking on my own. But the diabetes decided to attack my legs with neuropathy. In October of ' 05, my legs gave out. I was in so much pain it felt like shingles. They stung to the touch like I stepped on a wasp's nest. I was using a scooter to get around the block on the bad days.

I was looking into buying a new scooter when a very nice lady told me about Goji berry juice. I was willing to try it. She sent me a bottle. I drank one ounce and about 30 minutes after drinking it, I got up out of the chair without holding onto the table. I swung open my front door for my daughter with such strength, I almost pulled her down in the doorway.

My scooter is gathering dust, sitting in my foyer. I have a new walk. I may feel a little pain here and there but I'm walking.

Sometimes the Lord allows things to happen to prove He's in the mist. Gensis 2:9 "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant in the sight, and good for food.", Psalm 104:14 "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man". Goji berries are God's healing berries for they were created by him and are beneficial for man, whom He created out of the ground. Thank you, Elaine, for introducing me to God's healing berry, Goji.

My Daughter Kelsey is 10 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 4 years ago. Since She has had very bad breath along with sugar levels that are low and high, some days very difficult to control. When she gets sick it comes on very quick and last 3-4 times longer then a child without diabetes or manipulated immune system.

She stared drinking Goji juice in December 2005. After 2 weeks we noticed her bad breath was gone. The kids at school were no longer teasing her about her breath and we also noticed a change in her sugar levels. They are not perfect but we’ve noticed a considerable change in the pattern. She does not wake up with as high levels as she used to and her delayed lows have diminished from extreme activity. Kelsey seems to bounce back from a common cold/flu twice as fast and has not missed a day of school in the past 3 months.

She loves the taste and has energy to burn. A cure is not available as of yet but I know this will help her to live a long healthy and happy life.

I'm 72 years old with congestive heart failure and diabetes. I started drinking goji juice in late October of 2005. Before goji I was spending most of my time on the couch because I didn't have the strength or the energy to do much else. My doctor told me that my blood was not producing something that it needs, so every week for about 5 months I had been going to the hospital for a blood infusion.

About 3 weeks after I started drinking goji juice I went to get an infusion. Dr. Gardner gave me a check up and said that I wasn't going to get a blood infusion that day; I checked out good. She also noticed that I wasn't huffing and puffing like I usual did. I have not had a blood infusion since. I had an echocardiogram a couple of months ago; the doctor was shocked to find how much stronger my heart is.

I have also been taking insulin and medication for diabetes. I am now off one of the medications and am taking only half the amount of the other. A couple of months after I started drinking goji juice, I dropped my insulin from 25 units to 10, and about 2 weeks ago I notice my blood sugar was too low and am no longer taking any insulin.

The best part is I get to run around with Elnora again and I can walk down the street to see my son. Elnora and I are telling all of our brothers and sisters about it and they're starting to feel better too, thanks to goji juice.

Leo L., Ohio

I am a 60 year old Stanford trained pediatrician. My mother died suddenly from an arrhythmia due to a heart attack, a complication of her long standing diabetes. Being a physician, I have been monitoring my blood sugar closely for years.

Well 18 months ago my blood tests finally showed glucose intolerance. I treated it aggressively with the help of an internist and an endocrinologist. I ended up on two oral medications and a new injectable drug, Byetta. I was giving myself two painful injections a day and spending almost $300 a month on just the injections. I was unable to stop the Byetta without having elevated blood sugars.

One month after talking 2 ounces of goji twice a day I was able to stop the injections. My average blood sugars have been totally normal since then. Six weeks without shots and my hemoglobin A1C is a normal 5.4 . Goji has been life changing for me. Research ahs shown that it helps reduce insulin resistance, the cause of type 2 diabetes.

I recommend it for my patients as well as anyone else that wants to improve their health, especially if they have diabetes.

A friend of mine lives in Muncie, Indiana. He is 73 years old. He was on 20 units of insulin a day and 16 hours of oxygen. The doctor did a blood test to see how his blood sugar had been running for the previous 6 months. It was 8.5 on a scale of 1-10, with 6.5 being satisfactory. He started taking goji at the end of March 2004. When he went back to the doctor on July 30, 2004, the doctor had these results for this Muncie man:

The doctor took him completely off his insulin! Yes, you read that correctly! And reduced his oxygen to 4 hours a day! You talk about life changing! The doctor ran the same blood sugar test that he ran in March and it came down from 8.5 to 5.0! What more can I say!

Donna S., Indiana

I am 85 years old and diabetic. I monitor my blood sugar daily and have been taking insulin for many years. Last spring I started drinking goji several times a day. Since that time, rarely does my blood sugar level go above 100 (even when I eat some of my favorite chocolate candy) and I have been able to stop my insulin completely. My blood pressure is down and I no longer need to take my arthritis pain medication. I love goji and what it has done for me!

Irma W., Washington

I am a 44 year old diabetic. A year ago I had acid in my blood, my blood sugar was 700 and I almost died. I was in the hospital for several weeks. My blood sugar levels went up and down like a roller coaster. I was taking 80 units of insulin a day. I couldn’t drive. After drinking goji, I was able to reduce my insulin to 20-30 units a day and keep it consistently under control. I feel like a teenager. I feel my life has been extended and I’m getting younger everyday. The wrinkles are going away, lean muscle is coming back, fat is going away! I’m sleeping 7 hours a night and waking up fully rested. My mind and vision have improved. goji has changed my life in a very short period of time!

Linda, California

I have Type II diabetes with my blood sugar averaging 214 before taking goji. Since taking goji, my blood sugar is now averaging 120, which is within the safe range, and without taking any insulin. I have also noticed age spots on my skin fading away and I have more energy. Thanks to goji I feel so much better!

Mark, Arkansas

I sold I bottle of goji to a gentleman named Aaron who has diabetes and high blood pressure. Within one week of drinking goji, his blood pressure became normal, going from 180 to 140/88. It hadn't been that low for over two years.

His blood sugar has been a battle to keep at 400-500 and is now running 124-135. He said that he did nothing different except watch the portion of the meals that he ate and drink goji. The 135 was after eating a piece of cake! Needless to say he is thrilled and is hooked on goji.

Helen, California

I am 94 years old and have many problems. I have diabetes and neuropathy that affects my feet and recently started bothering my fingers. I have been put on oxygen because of shortness of breath. Because of pain in my feet I have difficulty sleeping for very long.

My son started me on Goji juice and within a week I could feel blood circulating in my feet. I soon was able to flex my ankles and could wiggle my toes, which I had not been able to do for at least two years. The pain and stiffness that was developing in my fingers disappeared. I have more energy and can speak a sentence without having to stop and breath in the middle of it and I sleep more soundly when I sleep. Needless to say, I am not using the oxygen routinely during the day. I am still 94 years old and still have problems, but the Goji has improved my quality of life considerably.

Marie C., Blackfoot, Idaho

My friend, Dolly, is diabetic. She had just gotten out of the hospital after a blood transfusion and was having pains in her legs and couldn't sleep at night. Her doctor wanted to get her off Tylenol but she was in too much pain to stop.

I gave her 3 ounces of goji in the afternoon and later that night she noticed the pain in her legs was gone and she didn't need any Tylenol. She slept like a baby that night too. Since then, she's been drinking the juice and takes one ounce in the morning and one at night and she sleeps great, her blood sugar is good and she has no pain in her legs anymore.

That's not all! One of her daughters had cramps in her legs at night. She tried the juice and now she doesn't have them. Her other daughter has cancer and her shoulder was too painful to raise and shave her underarms. Now that she's drinking the juice she can raise her shoulder no problem.

That's still not all! Her son was having pains in his legs. He's drinking the juice and his pain is gone too, but one morning he forgot to take it and he had to quit work early because his legs hurt too much. He doesn't want to go without it again.

That's what I call a success story. Dolly was afraid she would have to have her legs amputated. Now she walks all over the place! The best thing I ever did was give her that juice. Thank you!

Jon, Canada

I'm 57, overweight and a type 2 diabetic on oral medication and some insulin for a few years. Diabetes has caused me several problems; my eye sight has gotten worse causing me to wear glasses, I've lost the feeling in my feet due to neuropathy and because of kidney malfunction, I was facing a transplant.

My brother introduced me to goji a few months back and since I've been drinking the Goji, my sleep has drastically improved, I have more energy and have shed a few unwanted pounds. I'm now off all medication for my diabetes as my blood sugar has stabilized at 90 - 100. My night vision has improved tremendously and, although my doctor is keeping me on my medication for my kidneys, he says that my kidneys are improving and at this time a transplant is no longer necessary. I love the Goji and it tastes great!

Dick W., Washington

I am a 20-year diabetic and have researched products for years in order to avoid taking prescription drugs because they have negative side effects. I have been taking 4 ounces of goji each day for 10 months and my blood sugar is running normal. My eyesight, digestion, sleep, and circulation have all improved and my blood pressure is normal.
