Heart/CHF Stories
In the winter of 2005, I was having health
problems. I didn’t know what was wrong but my heart was bothering me
really bad. I could hardly do my own work anymore. I finally went to an
herbalist doctor as I know something had to give and I wanted to try a
natural way first as I absolutely don’t like drugs. He told me my blood
was so thick it’s sticky and that’s what was causing my heart problems
as it had to work so hard that it got inflamed. He put me on vitamins of
all different kinds but it didn’t seem to help much.
So in
January of 2006 we were introduced to Goji Juice. We were a little
skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. After using the juice
for a month I could tell quite a difference but still wasn’t okay. But I
kept on drinking my juice.
So a
year later in Jan. 2007 I got my blood tested and studied under a
microscope and was told my whit blood cells are as perfect as they can
get and my red blood cells are really healthy. Also my blood is now
like it should be and I have no more problems with my heart.
I
also had warts over the palm of my hand. After drinking the juice for
around 7 months they just fell off. Also in January of 2006 we were
told our 6 year old son has lymes disease. We put him on Goji; plus a
couple vitamins and in 2 months he was free of it. The herbalist in Oct
told us he’s never seen anybody recover from lyme’s so fast.
My
husband was also having problems with backache every morning when he got
out of bed. We thought we’d end up buying a special bed. After he
started using Goji in just 3 days he had no more backaches and hasn’t
had any since. He also had a lot of problems with his shoulder slipping
out of the socket and that is completely gone also. Our children all
love it and they hardly picked any flu bugs up during the winter where
usually they got what ever was going around. We hope we never have to be
without and thanks to everyone for making it possible.

In January 2004, I was diagnosed with
congestive heart failure (CHF), mitral valve regurgitation, and
neurological problems, which the doctors were unable to definitively
diagnose. My symptoms included restless leg syndrome, severe shortness
of breath, wildly fluctuating blood pressure, extreme heart
palpitations, dizziness & passing out frequently. I was unable to sleep
for more than 20-30 minutes at night.
I required the assistance of my family to move
about. When alone, I often had to crawl to the bathroom. Outdoors, I
needed a wheel chair. When ambulating, I needed to stop every step or
two to catch my breath, which was labored.
Medications were frequently changed as they
created additional problems instead of improving my condition; as the
herbs I was taking were helping; I decided to stay on just the blood
pressure medication.
On September 7, 2005, immediately after
receiving the goji juice, I took my first couple of ounces. I
immediately noticed a surge of energy, and the dizziness disappeared. A
head-achy type of fog which I’d had for a week lifted within a couple of
minutes and has not recurred since. That night I slept for ten hours!
The restless leg syndrome was not as noticeable. The following morning,
I got up, walked down the hall without assistance and did not realize I
had done so until my daughter came rushing to my side. The following
day, the extreme heart palpitations eased up. Within a couple of weeks,
I noticed that I could speak without having to pause to catch my breath.
Since I have been drinking goji juice, I’ve passed out only a couple of
times, and am actually sleeping at night! I rarely need to use a
wheelchair and use my cane only when I overdo things and when I’m away
from home.
Goji juice has been, continues to be a blessing
in our lives. Mahalo!
Faith D., Alaska
I'm 72 years old with congestive heart failure
and diabetes. I started drinking goji juice in late October of 2005.
Before goji I was spending most of my time on the couch because I didn't
have the strength or the energy to do much else. My doctor told me that
my blood was not producing something that it needs, so every week for
about 5 months I had been going to the hospital for a blood infusion.
About 3 weeks after I started drinking goji
juice I went to get an infusion. Dr. Gardner gave me a check up and said
that I wasn't going to get a blood infusion that day; I checked out
good. She also noticed that I wasn't huffing and puffing like I usually
did. I have not had a blood infusion since. I recently had an
echocardiogram; the doctor was shocked to find how much stronger my
heart is.
I have also been taking insulin and medication
for diabetes. I am now off one of the medications and am taking only
half the amount of the other. A couple of months after I started
drinking goji juice, I dropped my insulin from 25 units to 10, and about
2 weeks ago I notice my blood sugar was too low and am no longer taking
any insulin.
The best part is I get to run around with
Elnora again and I can walk down the street to see my son. Elnora and I
are telling all of our brothers and sisters about it and they're
starting to feel better too, thanks to goji juice.

In August 1, 2005 I had a heart
attack. The doctors
sent me home to die.
About 2 weeks later, I went to my family doctor. He told me there
was no need to see him again, that my heart was very weak and there
was nothing more he could do for me. The only thing keeping me
alive was my pacemaker and my sense of humor. I said don't forget
the grace of God--he ignored that.
A week or so later I went to the
Iridologist. He listed 5 organs that were either shutting down or
very toxic. He too sent me home to die.
Well, I have a friend in
Maine, her name is Lynne. She called me and said "Leo, I wish you
would get on Goji Juice, it would turn your life around!" We
ordered it.
The first day my lungs felt
like I was getting more air, my heart felt
stronger, my brain felt
like it was getting more oxygen. I went back to the Iridologist
about two months later. He said my heart was the best he had seen
it in months.
In December 2004, I fell
outside our house. I did not walk for over ten months. About
a month or so after goji, I got out of bed one morning and noticed I
was standing, not losing my balance! I called Becky and she came
into my bedroom. She held her hands out and I took 3 small steps!
We laughed and then we cried! What a thrill! A journey starts with
one small step, and I just took 3! I am now up to 16 steps a
day. Also, I am standing (not for too long, my legs are very weak
from not walking for so long). I am getting dinner for Becky almost
every night. That is a big help to her not to have to come home
from work and get meals ready!
I am excited for what God has
in store for me!
Leo, New York
About tens months ago I started having severe
chest pains. My wife rushed me to the Clinic. I was treated like a heart attack victim for half a day. After
many tests I was told that my large and small arteries were filling up
fast and that I would probably have a heart attack within a year.
This was of great concern for me and my family,
as my father had had a fatal heart attack at age 55 and his father at
age 58. I am now 61, soon to be 62 in February 2006.
I spoke to a doctor friend about the situation
and he told me to listen to the doctors. But he also said, if it were
he, he would go from drinking 4 ounces of goji daily to 8 ounces a
day. And that was what I did.
Some months later when I got checked again my large arteries were
100% clean and my small arteries were 97% clean. Needless-to-say, my
family and I were elated and very thankful. The only change was going
from 4 to 8 ounces of goji daily.
Thank you God for goji!

In 2001, at the age of 39, I was diagnosed with congestive heart
failure. I was told by my doctors that my heart was that of an 80
year old and was working at less than 15%. This led to concern
of a heart transplant.
I began a lifestyle change which included
natural juicing, exercise and prescription medication. In 2003, I
had a catheterization test and echocardiogram which showed that the
size of my heart was enlarged to 6.6 cm and the ejection fraction
was 20%.
Even though I was living a very healthy lifestyle, my heart was
not improving and I had gotten to the point where I couldn't walk,
play with my children or even talk with them for very long. I
would get too winded. I simply had no energy.
In January of 2005, my sister introduced me to goji. It
wasn't long before I felt more energy and stamina and my skin looked
so much healthier. The end of March 2005, I had another
echocardiogram test which showed that my heart was nearly normal
size, at 5.9 cm and my ejection fraction had improved to 25-30%.
Imagine your heart going back to normal size and not needing a heart
transplant! I was thrilled!
My doctor asked me what I was doing differently and I told him the
only change I had made was drinking goji. He was so impressed
with what the goji had seemingly done for me, he suggested I
seriously look into participating in a study being done by John
Hopkins Research.
I give thanks to the Lord and am now conducting Health and Wellness
Seminars to share my victory in overcoming my illness.

In 2002, I collapsed with a heart
diagnosis of CHF (congestive heart failure). I have been suffering
with arthritis, diabetes, asthma, multiple pains in my feet, knees, and
hands.
In April of 2005, I was introduced to goji by my wife. Within five
days, I noticed an amazing improvement in energy, my heart tests were
stronger, my breathing was better and I was able to use my inhaler 30%
less. Since then my blood sugar has stabilized, my pain has almost
completely disappeared, no more leg crams, I sleep better, I can do yard
work and swim 15 laps in the pool, plus I have been able to double my
cardio workout.
One unique incident: this last summer I ran out of the product for two
weeks and 90% of all my problems reappeared. Within 3 days of taking
Goji, I was back on target. So, I definitely know the juice was not a
fluke. Hope this can help someone. Don't cheat when you do take it. I
started off with 2 ounces per day and that has continued to the present.
I even put it on my toothache and it has helped. Good Goji-ing!
Barry, Augusta, GA
I am a 47 year old man who was
diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and high blood pressure in September
1999. I was put on several prescription drugs. This "medicine" has
caused me numerous serious side-effects throughout the years.
In June of 2004, my friends told me about goji. Since then I have
eliminated both of these medicines per doctors orders. My wife is a
Registered Nurse with 22 years of nursing experience so she checks my
blood pressure nearly everyday and it is in the normal range. As a
matter of fact, it is better than it was seven years ago.
I believe I owe this all to goji because I have not lost a lot of
weight and I have not increased my exercise.
I thank God and Jerry and Mary Batchelor for reaching me with this
juice.
God Bless You All!
Blake and Peggy C., North Carolina
I’ve had an irregular heart beat
for five years. This is not life threatening but wears the heart out. I
have had two cardioversions (shocking the heart) and one ablation. These
procedures put my heart in rhythm only long enough for me to spend the
night at the hospital and by the next day my heart would be out of
rhythm again by the time I would be back home.
I have been taking a strong medication (300 mg) for 3/12 years and the
medication has regulated the rhythm to some degree, but not
consistently. However, I began drinking goji ( 3 oz's. twice a
day) 5 months ago. I noticed that my heart was not jumping out of rhythm
as much, and then realized it is always in rhythm.
I went to see my Cardiologist
three weeks ago. My doctor was going to keep my medication at the same
high level, but when he looked at my EKG he saw that it was normal. He
wanted to know what I had been doing that was different. I told him I’d
been drinking goji. He was very pleased and reduced my medication
to 200 mg. My heart is still in a normal rhythm and I am looking
forward to reducing my medication further.
Bobby M., Alabama
In March of 2002, I
was told by my doctor that I had severe multi-vessel coronary
artery disease with complications of congestive cardiomyopathy and
was at high risk for sudden death.
In short, I have
had 4 heart attacks plus massive congestive heart failure. Because
of many complications, my heart was less than 20% functional and
deteriorating. I took 12 different medications. I was at the
"end of my rope" in December 2003 when I discovered
goji.
goji has
totally changed my outlook and activity. Before Goji I took a nap
in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. Now I go from 5 in
the morning until 11 at night and I exercise 3 times a week, all
without taking any naps. My doctor was very impressed with my
improvement. She thought I wasn’t going to make it, but within a
few months I became her "poster child" because of my
unbelievable improvement.
I feel wonderful
and am looking forward to a long and prosperous life. My daughter
said if I keep going like I’ve been, I’ll need a cape!
My cardiologist in
Denver said I no longer need to see him every 3 months. I am
now taking only 2 medications for my heart. My blood sugar and
cholesterol are normal. My heart functions at over 40% and getting
stronger. Thank you goji.

I
call Goji berries, God's berries!
A year ago in
January, I was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Then
two months after that I was in the hospital again for 5 days
because of fluid buildup around my heart and lungs which caused me
to have difficulty breathing, walking and climbing stairs. I
thought I was dying.
In April 2004, I
was introduced to goji and it has changed my life. I
feel so much better I can practically run up the stairs and am
back to walking 3 miles four or five times a week. I believe that
this wonderful juice has given me my life back and I feel normal
again. I’m really singing the praises of goji.
Betty W.,
California, (79 years
young)
About 6 months ago my Dad was on
life support. He had what the doctor called "multiple organ failure". He
went into the hospital with barely a pulse then under went surgery to
remove his gall bladder. With a combination of things he made it through
surgery but was left with many complications. He had a failed kidney,
liver, high blood pressure, diabetes, and an irregular heart beat which
he had prior to having a stroke when he was just 39 years old.
I introduced goji to my dad two weeks ago. He began drinking 2
ounces in the morning and at night. He is sleeping better at night and
has energy during the day. He said he couldn't remember the last time he
slept the whole night. He also stopped craving sweets, so he can't wait
to see what the doctor says about his diabetes. The amazing thing is
that when he went to see his heart specialist, his doctor said that he
had improved so much since his previous visit which was about 3 weeks
before that. His doctor took another EKG and said that everything was
looking so good that she released him back to his primary doctor. My mom
even noticed the change in my dad and she believes it is all because of
goji. I can't wait to see other great results and especially to
see my dad healthy again.
Tanya M., Hawaii
Looking back, I’ve had a full and
extreme lifestyle. Among other things, I’ve been an actor and an
athlete.
Now I am a 75 year-old with insulin-dependant
diabetes and an extreme heart condition. I’ve had 9 visits to our
cardiac hospital resulting each time in angioplasty. I was almost a
vegetable and a by-pass was not be an answer. So I had a
neurostimulator implanted in my body, which is connected to an electrode
placed in my spinal column to give me a constant supply of electrical
shots.
A week after my surgery, a friend introduced me
to goji as he was aghast at the sight of me.
Within two weeks I was walking in a swimming
pool for exercise. Six weeks later, I went for my first post-operative
check-up and the surgeon was astounded at my recovery rate.
I can walk now without assistance. goji
has taken me to a new life. Thank you so much for bringing goji to
New Zealand.
Norm K., New Zealand
I had a heart attack in January 2003 and
doctors put a stent in the right side of my heart. They told me the left
side was still blocked about 60%. Three months later my heart specialist
did a stress test and MRI and said my heart still had blockage. Then in
June (2 months later), I went in for my doctor’s appointment. He was
ready to talk to me about putting a stent on the left side. I told him
that since I’d been drinking goji, I had no discomfort or
shortness of breath.
He had me do a series of exercises and a
partial stress test and listened to my heart. He had a perplexed look on
his face. He said there was no blockage and no need of surgery! He took
me off my blood thinner, Plavix. He told me to keep doing whatever it
was I was doing! goji is truly a gift for a healthy life and what
better gift can we be given!
Jean R.
I had been ill for over a year and my condition
was worsening. I had seen many doctors and was miss-diagnosed
several times. I had severe heart palpations and they got so bad I
was passing out. I could not work because I was afraid to drive. The
medications I was on only made me more ill. I was so ill, I was
preparing for my death.
Then I found goji. I was very skeptical
but I thought why not try it because it has a money back guarantee.
Well, within two weeks of taking goji my heart palpations STOPPED!
I had a normal heart beat, I was able to sleep, and my strength was
starting to come back. goji gave me my life back! There are no
words to express my gratitude for this Miracle product.
Lee, Arizona
Before goji my legs and feet
were swollen so bad I couldn't walk, but now the swelling is almost gone
and my congestive heart failure is not giving me any trouble, my blood
sugar level has dropped about fifty points, my asthma has improved and
my sinus has cleared considerably. To be able to walk from one room to
the other and breathe normally, and to be able to sleep all night for
the first time in twenty-five years is remarkable. Praise God.
