DR. Earl Mindell
“As a pharmacist and nutritionist dedicated to helping others optimize their health and well-being, it is a dream come true to bring the miraculous goji to the world. I believe that Himalayan Goji Juice will have more powerful benefits on health, well-being, anti-aging than any other product I have seen in the last 40 years.”
Dr. Earl Mindell is the world’s most trusted authority on the proper and effective use of dietary supplements. As a Registered Pharmacist, Dr. Mindell has made a career out of taking what is often very technical and scientific data and making it easily understandable for the average person. For professionals and lay-persons alike, his numerous books and articles have become household reference books. From Singapore to San Francisco, and from Ireland to Australia, it is difficult to find a professional or home library that does not rely upon Dr. Mindell’s writings as the definitive guides for the proper and effective use of dietary supplements.
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., M.H., Ph.D., is generally acknowledged as the Father of the Nutritional Revolution. He was largely responsible for creating the “nutritional revolution” with the publication of the Vitamin Bible; the biggest-selling nutritional book ever. The Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century has sold more than 10 million copies in 54 countries.
He appears on more than 300 radio and television programs each year, including Regis, Letterman, Oprah and many, many others. He received his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from North Dakota State University and is currently a registered California pharmacist, a master herbalist, and a professor of nutrition.
Goji Polysaccharides
Dr. Earl Mindell, pioneers the research of goji polysaccharides. Goji’s four unique polysaccharides, or phytonutrient compounds, function as directors and carriers of the instructions that cells use to communicate with each other in our body. Unique to goji, the 4 polysaccharides can differ in quality depending on the origin of the plant and the increasing conditions for a specific region in a specific year.
It took Dr. Mindell eleven years to perfect the practice of isolating the highest quality berries from the multitudes of different Goji berries, cold processing them so that each bottle could be standardized guaranteeing that each bottle was equally the highest standard and very little changed from the fresh berry to the bottle.
There are many varieties of Goji just as there are many varieties of grapes for wine making —as many as 41 species growing in Tibet alone!
Dr. Mindell knew that he must exhaustively scrutinize the dozens of varieties to find the one true goji—the one that had been discovered by the early Himalayan healers, and which, from ancient times, had been praised in legend. A spectrometer can detect even subtle differences between berries at the molecular level, in the same way that human fingerprints can be used to distinguish one person from all others on the planet. This technique results in the creation of a graph, a unique fingerprint for whatever is being tested—a Spectral Signature.
In terms of research relating to the polysaccharides in Goji berries, there are quite a number of them. A study showed that treatment treated with polysaccharides isolated from Goji berries among seventy nine people in advanced stages of cancer actually confirmed a high rate of regression. When combined with a ordinary cancer treatment drug patients showed a 40.9% regression rate, where as compared to a 16.1% regression rate for patients treated only with the drug.
One study revealed that the blood pressure in hypertension rats could be declined significantly by treatment with polysaccharide. Another showed that polysaccharide isolated from the berries significantly subdued the growth of tumors in mice and encouraged the production of beneficial antibody agents, noticeably improving their immune system.
A research from the Hubei Medical University in China showed that a purified component of goji polysaccharides dramatically enhanced the ability of mice to swim for long periods and to increase the amount of exercise they could do. Molecules from Goji berries were found to inhibit the oxidation of “bad” LDL cholesterol in a study by another group of Chinese researchers. LDL oxidation is believed to be one of the primary factors in artery damage that leads to heart disease.
Another fascinating study from another Chinese research group found that adding Goji extract to diseased tooth root surfaces improved the attachment and growth of new, healthy gum tissues in diseased areas.
