Q: Good Afternoon,
I was hoping if you could tell me is goji juice rich in phyto-estrogens?
Thanks for your help

A: Dear Frida,
I am sorry but it isn’t. Soy is high in phyto-estrogens and there are many soy isoflavone products on the market.
Sincerely,

Response Back
Dear Doctor.
I wanted to sincerely thank you for your quick response to my question. You see, I had purchased a bottle from the health food store, and then I asked my specialist if it ok for me to drink it, as I am taking Arimidex for an estrogen positive breast cancer I had. She advised me NOT to take anything that would be rich in phtyo-estrogens, (as she was not sure if it was) so, naturally I ceased taking it, and have been emailing so many different people via the Internet, through the Lifestream manufacturers, but not one person has replied to me.
Thankfully I found your website and thought I would try to email you and ask you, and I am truly thankful for your quick response, the very same day!!
This shows such professionalism to me……and I wish more people would be so prompt in answering customer’s queries.
So, I just started taking it again. …..now that you have told me that it does not contain phyto-estrogens……..
Thank you sincerely for your help
Regards
Frida C.
Mangosteen, Goji, Noni, and Acai – Breast Cancer

Good Morning:
I am recommending Mangosteen, Goji, Noni, and Acai-Max products to my niece. She has breast cancer which has spread throughout her body, and I am wondering if it would be advantageous for her to “load-up” on the juices and to consume considerably more than two ounces daily of each. Also, is there any potential danger to consuming too much of these products?
Regards,
Bill
Dear Bill,
I am sorry to hear that news. I can’t see of any possible danger from consuming large amounts of the juices. Being that they are fruit juices the worst thing, I can imagine happening, would be a mild laxative effect. As far as being advantageous, I can not answer that. You must read all the data on these juices the net and library can provide and make your own informed decision.
I can tell you this, if a loved one of mine had cancer, I would try just about anything to get them better as long as it wouldn’t make things worse.
Sincerely,
Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
