Himalayan Goji Juice: Readers RespondHow interesting it is that since the CBC interview with Dr. Mindell & your expose, that the company introduces a new version of Goji and Dr. Mindell suddenly vanishes!
Bravo for your work!!! D.D.
Hello, I just wanted to tell you that your website is incredible and I am so glad that someone has taken the time to seek out and tell the truth about this product. Cheers to you for a job well done!!! Regards, Rich
Very well put together, just the facts no spin! M.E.
What you say is true, but aren't there other worthy causes you could invest your time in? What about the starving children in Africa? breathe For the price of a $50 bottle of juice, you could feed, educate, and provide medical relief for a child for two months. Source: Christian Children's Fund
I just wanted to thank you all for the work on this site. My husband's family sells Goji/Gochi juice and they really cannot afford the juice to begin with. I really appreciated how you more than once explained that the representatives and people who sell goji/gochi are nice people. This is so true... They are very passionate people who have been misled... Thanks for showing people the facts and loopholes in Freelife and it's "miracle" juice.
Kudos to you! You did a splendid job revealing the hidden facts behind one of the more popular products of recent vintage. I urge you to continue with your efforts. There is an unbelievable amount of hype surrounding the raw food "movement" and I hope you will bring your well-honed analytical faculties to bear on some of the less well-known realities. The falsehood of "natural flavors" deserves much attention. Anyway, keep up the good work... Fred
Your article on the Freelife Goji Juice was very enlightening. J.F.
I had been a freelife rep for almost four years until I watched the CBC report. I was devastated and hurt to realize ... I had spent thousands on the juice as well as marketing materials. I closed my account and received a refund. I sent a copy of the CBC report to all my customers and downline and apologized to them for involving them... John M. Griffin
Thank you! I was told many times that the juice was raw, and I always said, but how could that be? It seemed literally impossible to me that it could be raw and not need to be refrigerated and have a short shelf life. I was told each time that it was indeed raw, and I started feeling a little crazy, like someone was insisting to me that the world was flat when I was saying it is round!
... when I first joined and started asking a lot of questions I was shut up very fast. I just thought I was being my over reactive self trying to find all information. However, on reading your site I now know I am right. Today I will be contacting the General Manager here in Australia to ask why as a distributor I was never told the product was heat treated... I have very high ethics and now I have to go back to my customers to let them know the product is actually heat treated ... Freelife cleverly omitted the fact it is heat treated.
HIMALAYAN GOJI JUICE HAS DONE MIRACLES FOR MY HEALTH AND MANY PEOPLE I KNOW ... YES I AM A DISTRIBUTOR ... E.N. breathe If the product works for you and your customers, then blessings.
My mother is unfortunately stricken with very advanced stomach cancer and the NURSE today in the recovery room (Had stent put in bile duct today) told me SPECIFICALLY to get the HIMILAYAN Goji juice from Freelife as she will be back to normal after taking it!!!!!!!!!
Whatever negative words you say about goji I am not going to believe you. You see I witnessed how a hopeless person dying of cancer recovered because of goji juice. I don't know what your problem is or I don't know what pharma companies you are representing. The fact remains the same, goji juice is the hope of mankind! breathe We'd like to see your doctor's statements and medical records to support this claim. If you cannot provide this, you might want to rethink your belief. Our consumer advice to the public: Be very wary when you hear people make claims like this. People often believe what they want to believe for various subjective reasons.
Do you have a product that you can recommend? C.F. I have been thinking about taking the monavie juice & would like to know your thoughts on the monavie product? L.K. How about the new kid on the block, amalaki juice? L.H. breathe We recommend a diet of fresh organic whole foods. There is no shortcut for good health and nutrition, and there is no such thing as "health in a bottle."
You would think that a company which claims to monitor and "standardize" each batch of juice for the proper "spectral signature" would also be able to show some evidence. However, the claims for HGJ polysaccharides have yet to be substantiated with clear and demonstrable data. I feel that ALL scientific claims made on a product should be backed by independent scientific research, not merely pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo. J.M.
I can tell the people that put this website are connected to to drug companies because you KNOW this is going to hurt your wallet!!!! -anonymous breathe We are natural food advocates. With the exception of a rare emergency, we do not take drugs of any kind, including aspirin, Tylenol, cold remedies, or even dental anesthesia. Christian is so hard core that he had a wisdom tooth removed "in the raw" - no drugs. You can probably guess how we feel about big drug companies.
Your article is very well researched and presented. And to the one who accused the writers of being drug advocates ... I can only say "What on earth have you been smoking to draw that conclusion?"
Hi!!! BE WELL!!!
Can you please stop providing people with false information? Goji is an excellent product. J.M. breathe Please permit us the freedom to tell our story and express views and opinions which may differ from yours. If we have misstated any fact, please let us know and we will make it right. See our "Open Air" Policy.
I emailed my goji upline and he emailed back the fact that he says it is raw.
What is really obvious is that you are with a competitive company and therefore feel the need to put down any and all competition. breathe We are not competitors with FreeLife, nor are we part of any other "miracle product" company. The only competition that we would like to encourage is that of your food dollars being wisely spent on a diverse diet of fresh organic, whole foods instead of believing in any miracle product as your source of vibrant health.
If this were the Garden of Eden and we were all running around with nothing to do but sit and eat organic raw whole foods freshly picked from the nearest tree, life would be swell...but in today's busy society it is unrealistic to think that the vast majority of families have the time or resources to be such purists. breathe Eating organic foods need not take extra time; we can simply make healthier choices while shopping. The closest thing to the Garden of Eden today is the organic farm. There are important reasons why eating organic is far better for our health - and the health of our planet. (We will publish a report on organic foods in the future.) Organic foods, however, do cost more, because they are real foods grown in a bio-responsible way - in tune with Nature. When you consume organic, you're not adding to your body's "toxic load" from pesticides. If you spend your cash on expensive goji juice, and if you don't allocate money to afford healthy organic foods, do you really feel this is the wiser choice? Does anyone really believe that any bottled juice could ever substitute for the life-promoting benefits of a diverse, holistic diet? (Note: The various juices in Himalayan Goji Juice and GoChi are not organic. Considering the high costs of these products, it is amazing to us that FreeLife does not care to use organic versions of its apple, pear, and grape juice concentrates to flavor its nonorganic goji juice concentrates. For more ingredient info, see The Secret Recipe Revealed.)
Thanks for your story. Whole foods is the way to go. I just got back from studying with an Egyptian Doctor who was trained in the old ways... so profound. if we all could learn about life as they did we would know how to live and eat and play with life.. not unschool ourselves and give ourselves away to such glamour of words... Thank you for all your hard work... greatly appreciated. Lisa Michelle
You guys are awesome! I recently had it out with a guy that was selling the product. Actually he yelled and screamed at me for asking questions about their products.
Why don't you report on any other products? breathe This is our first review, and we ourselves did not know what a big story we were getting into. When we can catch our breath, we will go into other topics.
Why do you not list your name and address in your contact information? Is "Christian" a real name? breathe Yes, Christian is his real name. Yet for now, we have chosen to keep most of our personal information private. Much of our work has been as undercover reporters. We may change our policy in the future. Meanwhile, we try to give you the facts so you can verify them for yourself.
Thank you for getting the truth out! S.S.
Thank you for keeping America on top of what is going on behind closed doors.
Thank you for sharing such thorough due diligence. You have performed a huge service ... A thousand KUDOS!!!!!!!!!! M.S. I never thought I'd spend so much time on one web site but this is awesome! E.B.
Thank you for watching out for people like myself... May I ask who you folks are so that I feel more comfortable that you have the credentials required for me to make a change in my decision. breathe We are just ordinary people searching out the truth.
