Himalayan Goji Berry – Great Stuff, Crooked Marketers
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.

The reason the product is called Himalayan Goji Juice is because after 8 years of research on the 41 varieties they found out that the Goji with the highest level of the active ingredient is the one that has THE BLOODLINE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL, The HIMALAYAN Goji. Even though it grows in China.
Many thousands of years ago the Himalayan Healers were the very first healers. They shared their most treasured gift the Goji with other healers traveling the Spice Routes from China to Europe and back again.
As the Goji became sub species different groups had Goji that gave good results and some that gave Great results. They even had Goji Wars similar to the Opium Wars because different cultures thought their Goji was the best.
Well, science is now able to look into the molecular level of the berry and find the most powerful species -the HIMALAYAN GOJI.
So you see, there is no marketing ploy at work at all. Further more, the Himalayan Goji Juice product has been enhanced with more of the active ingredient and is now called: GoChi, the Next Generation of Himalayan Goji Juice.
It is the first and only nutritional product that has a clinical study about it that will be published in a Medical Journal, the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine. This will become a Media event when it comes out in July.
