Goji Juice Health Stories

Pet Stories

Chantico is our little Shih-Tzu puppy. She has been a Goji Dog since the day we brought her home! We give her a little bit in a bowl each day and she must love it because she laps it up as quick as she can! When we took her to the vet for her first check up, he commented on how nice her coat looked and felt and how healthy she was. She will always drink goji, just like the rest of the family.

I have a 9-year-old Pug. The last few years he has been slipping because of a disc problem. He was very sad and would cry because he could no longer jump so he was confined to the floor. When I saw he was in pain and had a hard time moving, it was off to the Vet to get his "fix". Cortisone became a 3 month fix and I was back again and again. When I questioned the Vet he said he did not think he would ever jump again and I should consider a ladder that I could train him to climb to be able to get into his favorite places.

Being a Goji juice drinker, I decided to start him on an ounce a day. Well, the rest of the story is he has now been drinking Goji juice for the past year, no longer in pain and he is jumping all over even onto my bed. I happen to sleep in an adjustable bed and it doesn't matter how high I have it, he still is able to jump. A real plus, he has stopped snoring which is a trait of the Pugs. Now we are truly a Goji Family.

Our dalmation will be 20 years old in April, 2007. Last summer, her health declined very rapidly. She always had a good appetite but suddenly just quit eating. We coaxed, pleaded, offered new foods and treats but to no avail. She seemed confused, disoriented, lost her equilibrium and control of her bowels. We of course, visited the vet. He had numerous considerations, a virus, stroke, neurological problems, tumor, dementia, etc. He stated that she was still in much better condition than any dog he had seen at that age. He put her on an antibiotic in case there was an infection which was not readily apparent and told us to consider some other tests, and exploratory type surgeries that might clarify her problem. He also told us that it could be dangerous to put her under sedation (might not wake up) to perform the surgeries.

We struggled with what seemed like no good choice. Since she had stopped eating, we tried every concoction I could think of that I'd ever used living on a farm raising fostered baby animals. We ended up spoon feeding her for 3 times a day for 6-8 weeks and many times she wouldn’t be able to keep that down. The vet informed us that no more than a few weeks to a month remained for her. It was suggested that we might want to go ahead and put her to sleep. We did discuss it but I did not feel she was in pain or suffering in any way.

I told my husband that I wanted to give her Goji juice—that we had nothing to lose. We started her on ½ ounce for a few days and then to 1 oz. In less than a week, Cally started eating some of her dry food by herself , was moving around much better, she actually plays with our younger dogs and runs and jumps around like she’s 10 yrs old. She is also eating two full bowls of her dry dog food, which is much more than she’s eaten in a long time. Her eyes are bright and it’s a joy to see what our Goji juice has done for her. It truly gave her a new lease on life. Cally is now on 1 oz in the morning and at night. It is a joy to see her enjoying life again and being silly. When we talk to people about Goji juice and they say it’s all in our head----we just tell them to tell Cally that!!!

My mother's 3 year old Yorkshire Terrier managed to get away from her when she opened the door and proceeded to go across the road to the neighbor's house. A few minutes later she returned home barely able to walk. She laid down and her stomach swelled up. She immediately threw up green anti freeze. My parents decided not to take her to the veterinarian because they knew she would die. My sister came by about an hour later and told her to give the dog Goji juice. My mother mixed a little yogurt with the Goji juice and hand fed it down her throat. She did this over and over and on the fourth day, Szah Szah was up and running around hyper as ever! Thank God for Goji juice! She believes Goji saved her dog's life. Debbie S., Texas

Missy is a black Toy Poodle, presently 8 years old. When I took her in for her first exam, the vet told me that she needed surgery on her back legs and he even demonstrated to me just how he could move her bones...I even felt them move myself. He told me that, if she did not have the surgery, she would not be able to walk later on and I would have to carry her around. I told him that she did not presently appear to be in any discomfort and I would consider the surgery when I noticed she was having problems.

I am so glad that I made that decision! I started giving her Goji Juice about 2 1/2 years ago. When I had her legs checked with the past couple of vets, they told me that they could find no problem at all with her legs. Missy has no problem at all and runs and plays like any other healthy pet!

Missy was also born with a disease where she started losing her hair in small patches when she was just a few months old. The vet, thinking that it was a hormonal thing, wanted to start giving her hormone pills. I opted against that because I knew of the bad side effects of hormone replacement therapy and...given a choice...I preferred that she go totally bald.

After several vets saying the same thing, I finally took her to a Pet Skin Specialist. The specialist told me that I could spend another four to five thousand dollars for more tests but she didn't recommend it. She said that a lot of pets have this same disease and there is no cure for it; she told me to be prepared for Missy to go totally bald. She told me that her body saw the hair follicles as a foreign object and rejected them...that is why her hair was falling out. At that time, Missy had lost about 2/3 of her hair.

When I read that bald men were growing their hair back after drinking Goji Juice, I started giving the juice to Missy. She stopped losing more hair and started growing some back. Boy, was I surprised...all of those vets were WRONG!

When my husband and I moved into his mother's house we inherited her two cats. We had three of our own: Sheba being one of hers. One of our cats--a sister from the same litter--started chasing and attacking her; causing her much grief and stress. The result was that she started pulling out her fur!

I took her to the vet because at first, I thought she'd caught a 'disease' of some sort. I was told that she was doing this to herself. The vet put her on prednisone (which I believe is a depressant). The pills did absolutely nothing for relieving her condition. I tried Reiki but she would get up and walk away (an indication that she didn't want it).

I then thought I would try Goji Juice in her food.
After two months, all the fur grew back on her front legs ! She still has a little fur left to go on her back legs but I'm sold on what the Goji has done for her and will continue to keep her on it.

Goji Juice has given all our cats softer fur, extra energy and even our eldest has found his 'inner kitten' (which I found quite funny as he is usually a 'grumpy old man') Sheba's 'inner warrior' has surfaced as well and she is starting to strike back!

Not bad! Confidence AND hair replacement from the same product. I'm sold!!

Our cat, Reno, is 18 years old and was diagnosed with a mild kidney disorder about 2 years ago but has always been active and seemingly in good health in spite of the diagnosis. Recently he slowed down, would not eat, drink or use the litter box and slept most of the time. After 2
trips to the vet, who said he was not suffering, we decided to bring him home and triple his daily intake of Goji Juice. That was 2 days ago and this morning we were amazed to see him jump up on the counter stool to be petted behind the ears as usual. We have our fingers crossed that he will continue to improve and live a little longer.

I adopted a 4 month old Siamese kitten from the Animal Shelter. The cat's eyes were sore and she was scratching herself. I thought it was because she was flea dipped. She continued scratching herself raw. I took her to a vet. He gave her steroid shots and antibiotics. It cleared up for a while, but, came back worse. I took her to another Vet who gave the same treatment and informed me that her immune system was extremely low and the prognosis was bad. She could never be well.

My friends and family advised me to euthanize her. When I looked into her sweet face, I couldn't do that. My friend told me about Goji juice. I was skeptical, but, I tried it. The cat is healed. amazing! Thanks to Goji.

I was introduced to Goji juice from a friend who thought it may help my horse. Major was a rescue horse, he is a 24 year old Belgium. He could barely walk and was on 3 double doses per day of pain medication and inflammation from arthritis. He was at the point where I thought I would have to have him put down. I started him on Goji juice, 4 oz. per day mixed in his grain, and within one week he was down to a single dose of pain medication per day. It has now been 3 weeks and he is completely off the pain medication and is walking sound.

I also gave Goji juice to my 16 year old Siberian Husky dog, She had a cyst on her chest that ruptured leaving raw red flesh exposed. The vet put her on 1000 mg of antibiotics per day, which made her sick to her stomach. When we retuned for our follow up visit the vet was concerned that the mass was not healing and felt we may have to keep her on the antibiotics for at least a month or even change the type of antibiotics. I gave her the juice (which she loves the taste), she did not get sick to her stomach that night. The following morning I went to perform my twice a day ritual per the vet of washing the mass with soap and water and apply a topical antibiotic cream, I was dumbfounded when I actually saw puss flowing from the mass. This occurred for the next 24 hours and then the mass started to shrink in size and crust over. I saw this process take place with my own eyes, I can't wait for our follow up visit to the vet. I think we have the best
veterinary doctor in the field and she is very much into holistic healing.

Update on 6/2006

I'm thrilled to report that after giving Casey Goji juice for two months the mass that was located on her chest is completely GONE! Her hair has even grown back. My vet's comment was "I'm not surprised" there is no comparison between Western healing practices versus Eastern. Casey is now acting like a puppy again at 16 years of age. She is off of all her meds, for seizures and for arthritis. Goji juice is truly a gift from God.

On December 4, 2005, my mixed lab puppy was on his last little leg. I believe he had contracted hook worms. I was determined not to let my puppy die, so I gave him an ounce of goji that night and another ounce the next day. When I drove into my driveway from work on Tuesday, December 6, Coco was running all through the yard. He was just as happy and healthy as he could be. Now I have a Goji dog!!!

My name is Sofie and I live in Springdale, Arkansas. Ever since I was a
little tiny puppy I have suffered from serious problems with my itty-bitty tummy
ranging from diarrhea to colitis to hemorraghic gastroenteritis. For most of my
puppy-hood I have thrown up or had a very bad upset tummy almost every day.

My mommy has spent hundreds of dollars on me at my doctor's office, just to try and
keep me well. In fact, for the first few months my mommy had me, I was at the vet
more than I was at home! I have had to eat special food just for puppies like me and
take lots and lots of different medicines and antibiotics. This is no fun for me or my
mommy because I don't like to take pills or have anything squirted in my mouth so
my mommy has to wrestle me to the floor to make me take them. And even though
I only weigh 4.5 pounds, I sure can wiggle!!!

Then, a few months ago my mommy started giving me goji. I loved it right away and drank all that my mommy would let me have! From that day on I have not had any diarrhea and my tummy does not hurt me anymore! Before the Goji I could not go more than a couple of days without having diarrhea or a flare up of my colitis and now it has been almost 2 months without anything! I don't have to take medicine and I am
eating regular puppy food again. I can also have treats now which I really, really
missed! Everyday when my mommy gets home from her job, I run to the refrigerator
and bark for my Goji! My mommy gives me half a capful and if she accidentally
spills any on the floor, you can bet I get that too!

I love Goji very much and I recommend it to all the puppies everywhere.

My husband and I raise Walker Hounds, and in our retirement have found them to be a wonderful joy in our life. Recently the biggest boy began to limp. It worsened daily to the point he was unable to maneuver the steps. At 95 pounds it was no easy task to assist him up that flight of stairs. The goji has helped my husband with joint flexibility and his mobility, so we thought we would try the Goji on the dog. Ten - only ten - days, and he has no sign of discomfort, no limping, and is

taking those stairs like a pup. Goji for your pets? You bet! My friends, we will now not be with out it, and all of them anxiously wait for their turn each morning, they love it!

We raise Bull Mastiffs and took a litter of puppies to the Vet for the final 8-week check-up before delivering the pups to their owners. The Vet passed them all except for the last female, Mitzi, and he said, "I’ll put this pup down for you as she has an enlarged heart and she won’t make a dog and you certainly don’t want this dog to be bred causing genetic defects." My wife, Sandy, said, "No, we’ll take her home and keep her", as Mitzi was her favorite dog of the litter. The Vet said, "She will tire very easily and won’t be very athletic, also, don’t get too attached as she will have a very short life".

Well, the Vet was right, Mitzi would run 20 feet and just lay down, panting for air. When trying to climb the stairs in our two story home, she would go 2-3 steps and stop panting and then go a couple more and do the same. Often she would stop, turn and head back down to the bottom. Usually I would feel sorry for her and would pick her up and carry her.

In Feb 2004, one afternoon we started Mitzi on 1oz of goji and the very next morning she when outside to potty and passed a huge ball of worms. That was surprising, as I had paid the Vet six weeks earlier to professionally de-worm her. From that day on her energy picked up and now when I mention Goji, she races up two flights of stairs and waits by the fridge to get her goji.

Mitzi plays out in our half-acre back yard with Jake, my stud dog, and they run, jump and play with each other until they’re both tired. We’ve watched Goji save Mitzi’s life and it’s let her live like an ordinary dog. The Vet was astonished at the x-rays showing a considerable reduction in her heart size and shape, said that she was parasite free, her blood-panel was perfect, her coat glistens and to keep doing what we were doing with the daily drinks of Goji.

Roxanne, my 8-year-old black lab, had arthritis and could hardly walk up the steps. But after taking goji for only 1 week she is now back running and playing like a puppy again.

Our dog, Teddy, had either an ear infection or ear mites. We tried the ear cleaner and ear mite medicine from the pet store and with minimal results.

We started giving Teddy one ounce of goji at night when mom drinks hers. On day 3, yes, after only 3 days, the symptoms were gone! We're still cleaning some stuff from his ear, but no more rubbing, scratching or tilting his head. I urge you to share goji with the pets you love!

Our daughter's guinea pig's skin rash has disappeared and his fur has grown back beautifully - he loves goji, and I don't believe that a guinea pig is going to be affected by a placebo effect! We know it's the Goji!

My dog, Raleigh, wasn't eating and his hair was falling out. He followed me everywhere and I knew that meant he was feeling pretty bad. I took him to the Vet who said he had an enlarged prostate and also a plum-size tumor in his stomach. The Vet told me that testing to find out what else might be wrong would cost about $3000. I talked to a good friend who suggested I put him on goji because it had helped his dog. We love Raleigh and decided to give it a try.

I started Raleigh on one ounce in the morning and one ounce in the evening. Within 2 days, he was eating again and I noticed his hair was no longer falling out. I took him back to the Vet about 10 days later. The Vet said his prostate gland had reduced to about half the size it previously was and she couldn't find the plum-size tumor at all! Raleigh is back to being himself thanks to goji!

My friend called and asked me to pray for her cat. The cat was very sick. So I went to my refrigerator and poured out a couple ounces of goji into a little bottle. I got an eyedropper and told my friend to give her cat an eyedropper full a couple times a day. The next morning she called me. The cat was better. The day after that I called her. The cat was even more improved. Sunday morning she came and got one bottle of goji for herself and one for her cat, because she saw what it did for her cat. Her kitty is going to live. What a remarkable juice!

My dog, Sunbeat, had a couple of glands that were bothering him. They were on his back by his tail. He would bite himself as if he was trying to kill flees there. He did this everyday, all day. He had chewed himself raw. He had sores the size of nickels.

I had checked with the Vet and the nurse told me that I needed to purchase medicine for him so he would stop chewing on himself.

I decided to try giving him goji instead! I gave him one ounce in the morning and one ounce at night. I gave him a total of 30 ounces in 15 days. The smaller of the two sores disappeared in about a week. The second one disappeared in two weeks.

His hair has grown back. He had also chewed his tail raw in one spot that had been there for two years. His hair is growing back in that spot too.

He loves the goji! I would come out with his Goji and his cup of food. He would sniff the goji and not his dog food. As soon as I served his drink he would lap it up! What a gift from God.

Thank you for bringing this wonderful juice to America!

Star, California

My dog, Dugan, a 17-year-old Poodle, has been lethargic and depressed for months. He has good reason: he is nearly blind, can't hear and has been suffering from arthritis. Last Monday morning I gave him goji and again in the evening. I continued that routine and by Thursday I noticed he was more alert and walking better. Tonight (Saturday) he is quite frisky. Thank you Goji for helping my little Dugan. Who knows - he might have a few years left!
