Note If you’re reading this because you saw a complaint concerning GoChi or TAIslim I would be more than happy to discuss this with you. You can contact me at goji-juice (at) mindspring.com
or my email address is on the website at http://www.health-goji-juice.com I will make a couple quick points here however, the people largely behind the complaint are marketing a competing product. They are competitors (not exactly unbiased), also none of the complaints have anything to so with whether the product has health benefits or not. They center around complaints like the Spectral Signature used on Freelife’s bottles is not an accurate spectral signature representation of the goji berry (duh of course it isn’t that’s like the formula for Coca Cola. Just like Coke, Freelife isn’t going to publish the real signature).
At the heart of each official complaint I’ve read is that Freelife or a distributor claimed something about the product, however never in there any official complaint that the product doesn’t work. They can’t prove the product doesn’t work so they pick at words spoken or written which have nothing to do with if the product is effective or not. I believe (my opinion only) this is because the GoChi and TAIslim products work so well (they’re simply better products) and they want to learn how Freelife makes their products so they can copy them. The Freelife Himalayan Goji Juice was in development for about 8 years before being released. You have to ask this question, why would a company spend this amount of time to produce an inferior product? Normally you spend this length of time in development of a product to get it right, to find the little known things that make it superior.
I’ve been marketing nutritional products for 15 years now and to be totally honest, I’ve heard from customers claim the GoChi or TAISlim didn’t work for them, however, I’ve seen it work for too many other people and myself to know that the products work. TAISlim is the best most effective weight loss product I’ve ever personally taken. And until Jule of the Orient came out GoChi was the best nutritional health product I’ve ever personally used or marketed.
In our Health Watch articles, we have focused on many of today’s most frequently discussed health topics. In this issue, we would like to explore another area that is of equal importance, even though it’s not something that’s likely to come up during dinner conversation or around the office water cooler. Today’s topic is constipation, and although it may sound like the stuff of jokes, bowel irregularity is anything but funny for those who suffer from it.
You may be surprised to know that governments keep constipation statistics, but they do, and perhaps that is because it’s one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints worldwide. In North America, more than 4 million Americans and a half-million Canadians have frequent constipation, accounting for 3 million physician visits a year.
Some people think they are constipated if they do not have a bowel movement every day. However, normal stool elimination may be three times a day or three times a week, depending on the person. But if your frequency is less than this – or if you’re experiencing painful or difficult elimination – then you may indeed have a problem.
To understand constipation, it helps to know how the colon, or large intestine, works. As food moves through the colon, the colon absorbs water from the food while it forms waste products, or stool. Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water or if the colon’s muscle contractions are too slow or sluggish. Common causes of constipation include:
- Not enough fiber in the diet
- Lack of physical activity
- Medications, including pain relievers, antacids, and some iron supplements
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, aging, and travel
- Abuse of laxatives
- Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
- Insufficient water or fluid intake
How can you help yourself to become more regular? The experts at the U.S. National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse recommend that you follow these simple tips to help relieve symptoms and to prevent the recurrence of constipation:
- Eat a well-balanced, high-fiber diet that includes beans, bran, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Most North Americans eat less than half of the 20–35 grams of fiber recommended by government authorities, so there’s plenty of room for improvement!
- Drink plenty of liquids. Water and other liquids add fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.
- Exercise regularly. If you get your body moving, your bowels will follow!
- Set aside time after breakfast or dinner for undisturbed visits to the toilet.
- Do not ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. If you do, your body will simply stop sending the message.
- Understand that normal bowel habits vary. Don’t stress out over temporary changes.
- Whenever a significant or prolonged change in bowel habits occurs, check with a doctor.
To these great tips, we’d like to add our own scientifically supported recommendation:
Drink 4 oz. (120 ml) of GoChi™ every day!
GoChi – Clinical Study participants report experiencing improved regularity.
For countless generations, the goji berry has been helping the people of Asia to find optimal health and wellness. Today, the Asian secret is out, and FreeLife’s GoChi is validating goji’s legendary benefits in human clinical studies. In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvement in bowel regularity in as little as 14 days! This groundbreaking clinical study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), and it can also be viewed on the US Government’s encyclopedic PubMed website at www.pubmed.gov. The acceptance of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling Industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.Drink GoChi every day. It’s a moving experience!Your FreeLife Science Team
