They try to sell it for $55-$70 per liter,depending on the country, claiming it "cures cancer,heart,liver,kidney,pancreas and hundreds of other medical problems. When one reads the label on the bottle, it is 99% apple & pear juice & about 1% goji berry extract. Should these quacks be stopped by International authorities? I say they give false hope to very sick people, who could otherwise be cured.

Most of them show up here and claim those same things, and try to steer the gullible suckers to their websites to buy this crap. There is so much quackery being promoted in Yahoo Answers, it's really hard to believe!

The reason it is so expensive is that the Goji berry comes from high up the mountains in Tibet, where everything is pure and free from chemicals. Goji berries are very small and require lots to make a juice. Goji are extremely healthy with 23,000 antioxidants per 100g, whereas blueberries only have 8,000 antioxidants per 100g. Goji does not cure anything, it enables you to have a healthier body, but not alone, you cannot eat junk and expect Goji to be a miracle cure.

Who is to believe they went 8 km to the Himalaya top and that vicinity to collect ingredients!? As a matter of fact I also heard about it but not through a peddler.

Yep. Ain't it ridiculous??? The worst is that they prey on the elderly & infirm. I can't say on here what I'd like to do to 'em w/ their bottles of Goji juice... just use your imagination.

It's sad but there are a lot of similar things going out there in this world.

If there are suckers out there who believe it and buy it then they deserve to be sucked. Like Nigerian letters and internet lottery schemes. It is the "get rich" quick or the get - whatever-quick schemes that attract people.
