Cancer." The word alone is enough to give a feeling of dread to even a healthy person. It's much worse if you're currently living with cancer. It's also a source of fear if you've been "cured" and you find yourself wondering, "What if it comes back?"

It doesn't take much study to realize that there's a wealth of information available today about treating cancer, especially using alternative therapies. The draw of alternative therapies is that they tend to be less toxic and traumatic to the body, and to the soul, than the insurance approved western medical procedures.

I've seen people who have gone through chemo - they're alive, yes, but they're but a shell of their former selves. In particular, chemotherapy causes "quality of life" issues like brain fog and memory problems for years after the treatment has ended.

It is my belief that everyone must take full responsibility for their own health, and their own treatment for disease. This is doubly so for serious diseases like the big 'C.'

This brings us around to an alternative nutritional therapy you could consider as part of a cancer treatment. I'm talking about a super-nutritious fruit called "Goji Berries." You won't read about it in the western press, but there has been a lot of cancer research done in Tibet, Mongolia, China, Japan and Switzerland about this fruit.

Extracts from the fruit and leaves will kill cancer in the test tube. Of course, it's easier to kill cancer in the test tube than in a live human body, but the studies on live humans look extremely promising as well.

Goji berries and pure Goji juice contain high levels of bioavailable Germanium, a mineral with known anti-cancer properties. In particular, Japanese studies have shown that organic Germanium is effective for lung cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, and testicular cancer when used as a treatment regimen.

Goji in all its forms also increases the production of g-interferon. Interferon can stop the growth of cancer and can even kill cancer cells. There are also other compounds in Goji berries that can block the replication of a cancer cell's DNA. This keeps the cancer from duplicating itself.

It also contains chemicals that just plain make you feel happier. Thus, it can be used to calm your worries if you find yourself wondering, "What if it comes back?"

You can eat Gojis by the handful or mix them into almost any recipe. You can also buy Goji juice or make your own. Therefore, Goji is delicious and easy to eat or drink, which is another big plus for cancer patients.

I've focused here on the specific studies that show that Goji berries can fight cancer. But there is far more to this exotic, delicious fruit than its cancer-fighting properties. It's highly beneficial in fighting against many other conditions and diseases as well. This is in addition to the many remarkable nutritional qualities found in the Goji berry and its juices and concentrates.
