Energy Stories

I was not a believer when Ezzell told he about the benefits of goji juice but I was willing to give it a try. March  2006. I was not able to eat some foods because they would cause bad stomach pain, now I can eat those foods. My weight and cardio workouts have improved. My knees only ache if I overdo my running. My weight has increased a few pounds but my pants keep falling down, more muscle less body fat. I have more flexibility. I am sleeping better, less hours and remembering my dreams. I have an more energy. My mood is better and little things do not bother me as much. My eye sight has improved. My hair is growing back and darker. I was able to deal with the heat and humidity better last summer. I am remembering things, little details at work that in the past I know would have been lost. My focus is better, things are getting done faster in less time.
I am a true believer and drink 4 to 6 oz. a day

A friend of mine showed me a DVD of some research that an oncologist was doing with his patients using a particularly high quality goji juice to study its affects on the blood of patients. It showed that the acid and bacteria was significantly reduced after just two days and after continued use after two weeks the blood was really healthy, practically bacteria and acid free.

I thought well if it can do that for someone with cancer, then I want to make sure that I’m taking that juice too so that I can stay healthy. The first night my husband noticed that as a 50+ year old he didn’t have to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I noticed that I woke up feeling really refreshed and ready to take on the day. After continued use I noticed that I barely had any allergy symptoms that season.

Other friends of mine are drinking the goji juice too and they all have seen positive improvements in their life too. I plan on drinking this for the rest of my life, because I feel really good knowing I’m doing something good for me!

I have been drinking 4 ounces of Goji juice each day in the morning since the middle of February 2007. I must say it has helped me conquer my extreme tiredness with depression. I often now go to sleep at midnight or later and awake each morning at 6 am feeling "alive" and "refreshed"! Where as before Goji, I would lay on the couch or in bed all day while my toddler ran amuck around the house! I thought, there has to be a better way since I am only 33, but felt much, much older. Now I am singing praises about Goji Juice and feel absolutely wonderful!

I am a 27-year-old male and I thought I was pretty healthy.  Then I started drinking Goji juice about ten months ago and I've noticed several things begin to happen.

I have more sustained energy throughout the day, the calluses on my feet are almost gone and my skin is tough, but soft.  I get better response from my workouts and a few months ago I had shoulder surgery and had a very good recovery.  I was also struggling with border line high blood pressure, especially when I was under stress, and when I went in for surgery they checked my blood pressure and it was excellent.

Needless to say I have a better outlook on life.  That's why they call the goji berry, the happy berry.  I thank God for Goji juice.

I started drinking Goji juice toward the end of March, 2006 hoping it would help my knees but thinking it would maybe give me more energy. It has done that and more.

First I noticed a decreased sugar craving and I have lost 11 lbs since I started drinking goji. I no longer drink coffee because I am craving the added sugar I used to put into it. I have quit using sugar on my cereal in the morning, and no longer finish every dinner with ice cream. My sugar bowl is no longer the first thing you see when you open the cupboard and the chocolate chips are safe as are all cookies, my husband no longer has to hide them. In fact I now eat one cookie a month just to prove I still eat them. As far as my knees go I can hike with no pain, ibuprofen or ace wraps. I get back to the car in less time than it usually takes to get to the turning around point, in the past it always took me twice as long to come down the trail. Oh I do have more energy too I am no longer looking to take a nap every chance I get. I love goji and plan on drinking it for as long as I can. I can't wait to see what it will do for me when I have been drinking it for 1 year rather then just four months. By Christmas I will fit into clothes I haven't worn for years yea!!!

I have returned to my old trade as a concrete placer after a 15 year break working in a business with less physical demands on my body. At 53 years old I did not anticipate working as hard as I had in my younger years. The reason for my return to concrete was to work with my son, who has the youth and energy for this type of demand and although I expected to work manually beside him, I would do more of the lighter duties.

We have been working together for the past 8 months and I have been happy with my physical efforts other than being glad to sit in the vehicle for the ride home at the end of the day and being a little tired and grateful for my son and employee’s effort. I have been drinking goji for the past four months, and although my wife and other people I know, were getting amazing results I had not really noticed a lot of difference other than a little more energy.

That was until last week.  My son had planned an overseas trip which made him unavailable for a week and our employee moved to another job. This left me by myself to place and finish a large concrete drive that had to be completed that week. I started the job by unloading one truck at a time, then called up the next truck when I was satisfied that I had things under control.

I unloaded three trucks a day for three days, 45cubic metres, around 99 tons of concrete. This concrete had to be leveled then trowelled to a smooth finish. There was a one and half hour drive to and from the job site to my home. At the start of the concrete pour, I had planned to stop as soon as I felt it was getting too much for me, have a days rest then pour the following day. The day’s work was long but to my amazement I had no signs of being tired. In fact I was still enthusiastic at the end of the day. Without taking goji I know without a doubt my energy level would have faded fast and my stress level would have been high.

I am a 59 year-old woman who has been disabled since 1977 because of damage to my lumbar spine. I've had numerous injuries and more treatments than I can remember. I have other medical conditions too numerous to mention. I exercise, take my meds, rest when I need to, try to stay active, and do what the doctor tells me to do. So, I "get by".

In December 2004, a friend of mine started telling me about goji. He kept telling me how wonderful it was and how much it had helped him. I was very skeptical.

Well, I finally agreed to try Goji. I did not expect anything, but I was really surprised. After a couple of weeks I started feeling better, and I mean better than I have in years. I now have more energy, more stamina, I can breathe better, and even my pain level is down. All I know is, that I feel better than I have in years.

It makes me feel so much better that I tell people I would give up food before I would give up my goji and if they give it a try, after a few weeks, they will feel like Popeye after he eats his spinach!

When I took time off from my real estate to take a job traveling as a foreclosure field inspector, I was running out of energy with the hectic schedule and wondered if I was too old to keep up.  Then I heard about goji, that it provided energy as well as other health benefits. My legs and back had started bothering me with all the driving, so I picked up my cell phone, called in an order, and when I returned home on Saturday night, the goji was on the doorstep.

It was just a matter of days of drinking the juice that I noticed a huge change in several areas. Being a born skeptic, I initially thought that since I was sleeping better, that my stamina was returning. Then I noticed my legs and back stopped hurting on long trips. But, what was most amazing was that I started taking on projects on my one day off while I was at home, where I had hardly had the energy to do the washing before. At the end of that first month, I had re-papered and/or painted two bedrooms, two baths and the kitchen, just on the Sundays I was off work.

I can’t believe I’m writing this story, but I have a hard time not sharing something I’ve found that is this incredible! It is responsible for my energy and it's bringing me back to life again.

I am 77 years of age and my energy level had been quite low. Approximately five weeks ago, I started drinking goji and my first reaction was that it tasted too good to be of any great value. Now my energy levels have improved beyond all my wildest dreams. My daily 20-minute session on my exercise bicycle is done at the highest resistance setting and at a speed of at least 15 km/hour, which equates to 9.3 mph. At the end of each session my heart rate rarely exceeds 91 beats/min. I’m so thankful that goji is available.

I just continue to be amazed at the energy I receive from goji. I consistently exercise and workout at the gym and find that now when I use the treadmill at 3.2 mph for 1 hour, I still am not tired and could probably go longer. It is really true: 'The longer we drink it, the better the results.' By the way, I am 81 years old (oops - young!).

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love goji! It tastes great, it's full of nutrients and vitamins, and the energy level that it gives me is unreal. It has revived my body and spirit and it has given me new hope and excitement about my future and my overall well-being. Everyone around me wants to know how I have so much energy and why I am still smiling at the end of the day. goji has changed my life!!

Rob, North Carolina

Since I've been drinking goji, I go to the gym every day for two hours and ride my bike for 22 miles. Then I start my job (8-12 hours a day). I feel great! I no longer yawn at work. My co-workers are noticing that I'm different because I take each situation casually and I have more energy. I handle stress on the job with more dignity. I feel that my health is on the right track.

Sheila, California

Before I began using goji, I was tired all the time and needed two-hour naps to get through the day. My whole life has changed. I now have absolutely unlimited energy; no more midday naps, no more fatigue. I wake refreshed, hit the floor running, and keep right on going.

Ellie, Arkansas

Before I found goji I could not go shopping with my wife without stopping to rest. I could not even walk from my backyard to my front yard with out stopping to rest. It was a big problem just to tie my shoes because I could not bend over .Walk around the block? No way! You see, I am 150lbs overweight. I have high blood pressure, diabetes, and a sleep-disorder. I also take 23 pills a day.

After being on goji for 3 days I felt different. I had energy for the first time in years but I thought it was all in my mind .You know, I was taking something that was supposed to make me feel better so my mind was just telling me I felt better. Then on day 5 my wife came to me and said she could see a big difference in me. She said I had more energy and I was happier. I used to go to bed at 3 am and get up at 6 am so if I got 3 hours of sleep a night it was a lot and I was tired all the time. Now after 2 weeks on goji I now go to bed around 11 pm and sleep all night with out any C-PAP machine.

I had 35 folding chairs in my back yard that had to be taken to the front and put on a truck which I did all by myself with out taking a break. I have lost 15 lbs and I don't even think about food. I no longer crave food. I now eat because I need to. I now look forward to getting up in the morning because I know its going to be a great goji DAY. I want to thank my brother-in-law for telling me about goji.

Bill J., Deltona, Florida

Hi!  One of the reasons I wanted to try goji is because I never seem to have enough energy. Well, almost from the very first day, my energy level increased greatly, and I'm really very grateful that goji was introduced to America so that we can benefit from this remarkable juice!!
