Goji Berries
are
a very rich source of vitamin C, having 500 times
more vitamin C per ounce than oranges, actually more
almost any fruit you could name. They are also a
superb source of vitamin A, not surprising because
they are a really pretty red color. Goji berries
also have vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E; they are
becoming a famous antioxidant.
They are also a rich source
of both selenium and germanium and have hence been
used in a number of clinical trials involving cancer
patients. When given to patients undergoing
chemotherapy, the berries conferred significant
protection for the liver. In Oriental medicine, they
are said to correct chi deficiency, meaning that
people with low energy, insomnia, heart
palpitations, and even anxiety are more comfortable
after consuming goji berries. The berries have 18
amino acids (higher than bee pollen) and 21 trace
minerals, linoleic acid, and more beta carotene than
carrots. They

In vitro studies suggest
that goji berries kill many kinds of cancer cells.
The mechanism whereby this happens is believed to
involve some factor that inhibits the ability of the
cell to divide, thus lowering its reproductive
capacity. A large study in Japan suggested that
tumor growth was inhibited by 58% among the patients
eating goji berries as compared to the control
groups. A study in Mongolia showed that patients
eating the goji berries had a significant increase
in lymphocyte activity and that their blood began to
resemble that of much younger persons.
