Fighting Cancer With Goji Berries
The Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum), also known as the ‘Wolfberry’ and ‘Happy Berry’, comes from the Ningxia Province of China, where it has been revered as a sacred foodstuff for centuries. The health properties of the Goji Berry are numerous and include the cleansing and strengthening of the blood and an increase in the production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This humble little red berry also generally acts as an energy booster, bolstering strength and immunity levels, especially in periods of convalescence or when fighting cancer and other debilitating diseases.
Obviously, the people of Ningxia Province know something we don’t about the Goji Berry, but we are catching up fast. Goji is now actively used by medical and allopathic doctors and practitioners to boost the immunity of their patients who are weak as a result of fighting cancer, leukaemia, HIV-Aids and other life-threatening conditions.
Evidence has been found in ancient Chinese medical literature extolling the virtues of Goji for strengthening the eyes, liver and kidneys and fortifying the ‘qi’ (or ‘chi’), the life force of all living things. A medical work by Shen Nung Ben Tsao, dating from 475-221 BC, noted that Goji’s benefits ranged from the replenishment of the vital essences to the strengthening and restoration of the body’s major organs. Given this kind of reputation, it’s not surprising that those fighting cancer and other diseases have welcomed the little Goji Berry with open arms.
In fact, not only has the Goji Berry been hailed as a means of successfully fighting cancer by halting - or reversing its progress - it also negates the toxic side effects of the chemical treatments used in fighting cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Additionally, Goji is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits in the world, and contains Vitamins C, B1, B2, B6 and E, 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, protein, essential fatty acids and more.
