GOJI
A Small Fruit with Big Benefits
(but buyers beware!) by Dr. Lindsey Duncan,
N.D., C.N
Many of the legendary
health-giving properties of Lycium barbarum (Goji’s Latin name) are
today being confirmed
in modern scientific studies, and this has led to the possibility of
even more far reaching benefits.
Over 50 studies have already been published in
prestigious health journals, including in the British Journal of
Nutrition,
Internal Immunopharmacology, Journal of Chinese Herbal Medicine and
China Pharmacology and Toxicology.
In this article for Healthy Living, I’ll look at: The most exciting
Health Benefits of the Goji Berry!
Anti-Aging & Life Extension— Your
body’s ten trillion cells are under constant attack by free radicals.
These harmful agents can accelerate aging by destroying vital body
cells faster than they can be replaced.
Goji is known as the “longevity fruit.” It contains powerful
polysaccharides and antioxidants to defend
against premature aging and to fight free-radical damage
throughout the body.
Look & Feel Younger— Goji stimulates
the release by the pituitary gland of human growth hormone (hGH),
the youth hormone. The benefits of hGH are extensive and include
reduction of body fat, better sleep,
improved memory, accelerated healing, restored libido and a more
youthful appearance.
Get Better Sleep— Goji has been
historically used in Asia for the natural treatment of insomnia.
In several medical study groups with elderly people, nearly all
patients taking goji reported better quality of sleep.
Protect Your DNA— DNA is the most important
chemical in your body. It carries the blueprint for all the traits
inherited from your ancestors, and also ensures that, as they need
replacement, your ten trillion cells
are faithfully reproduced as healthy, exact duplicates. Exposure
to chemicals, pollutants and free radicals
can cause DNA damage and breakage, leading to genetic mutations,
cancer, and even death.
Goji’s betaine and polysaccharides can restore and repair damaged
DNA.
Support Your Liver— Goji contains a
cerebroside (a type of enzyme) that has been shown to protect liver
cells,
even from highly toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Improve Immune Response— Research reveals
goji’s ability to regulate immunity by commanding and
controlling many of the body’s important defense functions. Goji
polysaccharides enhance and balance the activity
of all classes of immune cells, including T-cells, cytotoxic T-cells,
natural killer (NK) cells, lysozyme,
tumor necrosis factor alpha and the immunoglobins IgG and IgA and
interleukins-2 (IL-2).
Improve Digestion— Goji has long been used
in the treatment of atrophic gastritis, a weakening of
digestion caused by reduced activity of stomach cells. Goji itself is
easily digested and assimilated,
especially when taken in its highly bioavailable juice form.
Improve Your Memory— Goji is the premiere
“brain tonic” in Asia. It contains betaine, which is converted
in the body into choline, a substance that enhances memory and recall
ability.
Support Kidney Health— In Chinese medicine,
the kidneys are most important and are believed to control the brain
and other organs. Goji has long been known to be a kidney super
tonic, supporting ultimate kidney health and function.
Support a Stronger Heart— Goji contains
cyperone, a sesquiterpene that benefits the heart and
blood pressure. Its anthocyanins help to maintain the strength
and
integrity of coronary arteries.
Combat Fatigue & Lethargy— Goji is one
of Asia’s premier adaptogens. Goji increases exercise tolerance,
stamina and endurance. It helps to eliminate fatigue, especially when
recovering from illness.
Support Healthy Blood Pressure Levels—
Nearly one in four adults has high blood pressure (hypertension).
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack,
heart failure and kidney failure.
A 1998 research study indicated that high blood pressure could be
managed by the polysaccharides in goji.
Support Healthy Cholesterol Levels— Goji
contains beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to lower cholesterol
levels.
Its antioxidants keep cholesterol from oxidizing and forming arterial
plaques.
The flavonoids in goji help to keep your arteries open and functioning
smoothly.
Support & Balance Healthy Blood Sugar Levels—
Goji
has
been used in China for the treatment of adult-onset
diabetes for many years. Its polysaccharides have been shown to
help balance blood sugar and insulin response.
Goji contains betaine, which can help prevent fatty liver disease and
vascular damage often seen in diabetics.
Enhance Libido & Sexual Function— Goji
has been used historically in Asia as a premier sexual tonic.
Modern scientific studies have shown that goji markedly increases
testosterone in the blood,
thereby increasing libido in both men and women.
Help Reduce & Alleviate Anxiety & Stress—
As
an
adaptogen, goji helps the body to adapt to and cope with
stress. It provides the energy reserves to help with any type of
difficulty, both mental and physical.
Support & Enhance a Healthy Mood &
Brighten Your Spirit— In Asia, goji is known as the “happy berry.”
It has been
historically used in China to uplift and elevate. It is said that
constant consumption of goji brings about a cheerful attitude.
Combat Inflammation & Joint Problems—
Scientific research has shown that with acute and chronic inflammation,
free radicals like superoxide are produced at a rate that overwhelms
the capacity of the body’s superoxide dismutase
enzyme defense system to remove them. Such an imbalance results in pain
and damage to joints and tissues.
Goji can help to restore the balance of the important anti-inflammatory
SOD enzyme.
WHY THE CONTROVERSY?
Oftentimes people will read or hear all of the
things that Goji can help and ask, “Is this a panacea or a cure-all?”
My answer is always the same: The entire body is connected; if
something can heal or affect us on a deep level,
will it not affect every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies? Our
bodies are not made of separate parts,
but are whole, interconnected entities. Goji juice was first introduced
to America through MLM (multi-level),
pyramid, or other types of marketing. In conducting comprehensive
research and thorough analysis,
I determined that every single one of these companies that had
introduced goji juice to the
West had all added other fruit juices (such as apple, grape, pear, or
others), chemical preservatives
(such as sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate), water (which is a
dilutive) and other inexpensive,
unwanted and even unhealthy additives. As I researched deeply and
intensely into the rich historical use
of goji berries and goji juice, one thing quickly became very
clear and very evident to me—
for the past 3,000 years throughout all of Asia, I could not find one
individual, one pharmacy,
one healer or one doctor that mixed their goji juice with sweeteners,
fruit juices, chemicals,
preservatives or any of the common dilutives found in other goji juice
products in the U.S.
WHAT THE GOJI BERRY CONTAINS:
The goji fruit contains polysaccharides,
specifically four that are quite unique (LBP 1, 2, 3 and 4),
which have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system.
These same polysaccharides have
been found to be secretagogues, that is, substances that
stimulate the secretion in the pituitary gland
of human growth hormone (hGH), a powerful innate anti-aging hormone.
Pure goji juice is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta
carotene (more beta carotene than carrots),
of all known foods or plants on Earth! Goji is a powerful antioxidant
and is traditionally believed to fortify
the body against disease and to provide the energy to overcome
difficult obstacles in healing.
Beta-carotene can be transformed into vitamin A under the influence of
human liver enzymes.
Being rich in trace minerals, goji juice contains significant amounts
of zinc, calcium, germanium, selenium and phosphorus,
plus many other novel compounds, such as solavetivone, not found in
other foods or plants.
The more we delve into the history and scientific research conducted on
goji over the past
several decades and the historical use over the past 3,000 years, the
more one realizes
that this small but powerful berry is worthy of trial and further
investigation.

A Note From
Phil Wilson
Owner of Momentum98
The texture of
this Goji juice is unlike any other. Most Goji Juices on the market
appear to be diluted with lots of water. Not this one. The viciousness
of this product is so thick - it feels like apricot nectar. We have not
seen any Goji juice which can compare in quality to this. Absolutely
the finest quality!
Lyceum is another name for the Goji Berry. It is present in most great
traditional Chinese Herbal formulas. It is an ancient wonder fruit...
