Himalayan Goji Juice Opinions

Himalayan goji berry – The lie behind an otherwise great natural cure.

The story of the this oranges-reddish fruit starts in Tibet indeed hundreds if not thousands of years ago in the Himalayan mountains. They have, to this day, shrubs growing there that look a lot like the goji plant. The problem is that the world consumes a lot more goji these days than that region can produce. The truth is that the fruit that goes into your juice and even the dried stuff comes from China from large farms.

So how did this myth get started in the first place. The company responsible for spreading this convenient piece of misinformation is FreeLife. They can be credited for helping goji gain a foothold in the western world to the extent that it has. Unfortunately, they have decided call their product Himalayan goji berry juice for, what it appears to be, marketing reasons.

The product itself is good quality and a lot of people take it on a daily basis. There have been a lot of reports of better mood, health and increased resistance to common ailments such as the flu and cold. People sleep better and said to age more gracefully.

In some cases, the Himalayan goji berry juice may even had an effect on serious diseases such as diabetes and maybe even cancer. These claims have not been confirmed, though.

In the case of cancer it may even be true. A lot of times, cancer is a result of some nasty environmental influences. It has been also liked to stress. The level of stress wares down the immune system that has no problem eliminating cancer cells, that by the way grow in the body all the time. Himalayan goji berry, like all berries have a lot of antioxidants in them and therefore great for removing the free radicals from the body. Could this property of the Himalayan goji berry pull off not only keeping cancer at bay, but maybe help eliminate it? We don’t know for certain.

It may be that goji in any form may be very good for you, but if marketers have anything to say about it, its creditability will get ruined before we all could get excited about it. A person with half a brain and about 10 minutes of research on the Internet can figure out that there is something fishy going on. If you make a mistake, in turn, to stop looking after the first ten minutes then you might be missing out something truly great.

Goji Juice cancer effects are not scientifically proven. Some people believe strongly that the liquid from the berry goji can help you overcome cancer. These claims are based on testimonials and other anecdotal evidence. The scientific community has not jumped on the bandwagon just yet.

In New Zealand an investigation has been initiated due to claims by goji juice manufacturers that state that the substance has an effect on a person with cancer. If the claims turn out to be false, or worse yet, intentionally misleading, the consequences will be severe since making such claims is illegal in that country (or most countries for that matter).

It is true that goji juice may have a role in preventing cancer due to its anti oxidant properties that have been conclusively been proven. An illness such as cancer can develop as a result of environmental influences such as stress that are responsible for elevating the production of free radicals. Free radicals, if they are allowed to accumulate in the body, will effect the immune system that is primarily responsible for keeping illnesses such as cancer at bay. Berries such as goji berry are high in anti oxidants, therefore great at ridding the body of these free radicals and, in turn, helping the body stay cancer free.

Now, does that mean that they will cure a person of cancer all together? It is hard to believe that it would be the case. This is especially that there is no scientific proof yet. The lack of proof is no indication against or for goji juice cancer claims, though. If you have knowledge of any studies done by a reputable organization, please write a note in the comment section below this post.

It is easy to get excited about something that offers to help with something as serious as cancer. This is especially true if you have been effected by the illness yourself or know some one who has. Trying goji juice can’t hurt, we seem to know that for sure. So, if you can afford it, by all means, go ahead. We can all agree, though, that betting the farm on it would not be wise at least at this point.

Allowing the scientific community to do what they were trained and mandated to do is the prudent thing to do here. Unfortunately, those guys have a tendency to sit on their bums especially if it is about something they have nothing to do with.
