Get the Skinny on the Slimming Effects of Goji

Why does Goji have a naturally slimming effect without even dieting?

Well, all of my years of research in the field of natural health comes up with one simple explanation. It has to do with a little known regulating system in our brains called the appestat.

The appestat is said to be located just above the stem of our brains in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is concerned with the very primal drives of human survival, such as sex, temperature regulation and hunger cravings. So it is this life-supporting appestat which sends the hunger signal encouraging us to seek out food. Sounds simple enough. Only one problem. The appestat did not count on man creating such empty life-debilitating food as is so frighteningly prevalent today.

So, guess what happens when we serve that hunger signal a Big Mac and Biggie Fries? Well, shortly after consuming such a nutrient dead meal, the appestat kicks back in and says, “Err, try again.” It sensed that food hit the stomach so it clicked off the hunger signal but then it realized that there were none of the accompanying nutrients that should have been absorbed. It’s as though the appestat is saying, “Hey, what kind of trick is this? I could have sworn we just ate. I better sound the signal again.”

You can probably guess what happens if someone heads off to fill that next hunger craving with more dead junk food. Right, as soon as it has been communicated to the appestat that no nutrients have been delivered, it will cycle again. The hunger call sounds again and hence a vicious and fattening cycle is perpetuated. Hey, even if we were to eat a big iceburg lettuce salad, the appestat would not be fully satiated as that simply does not provide sufficient nutrition to our complex machines of a body.

The result--- the hunger bell keeps ringing and ringing while we keep answering with empty food descending us into a mad downward spiral of obesity and/or dis-ease. With all of the denatured foods that abound, it isn’t hard to see why so many are obese, sick, or both!

Pain and dis-ease are our body’s emergency alarm. They are our body’s clever way of forcing us to pay attention. And it works, doesn’t it? We wisely start paying attention. But then some of us do a really dumb thing. We seek out a pain killer. No!!!! I know that seems like the obvious thing to do but doing this is like cutting out the little light in the car that tells you your engine is about to overheat. This little light in your car is your friend. Yes, believe it or not, pain is your friend. It’s trying to tell you something and when it sees that you got the message it will go away.

So when we keep piling dead food onto our bodies we grow poorer and poorer internally. The ever-faithful appestat stands guard and continues to raise its signal in some sort of desperate hope that we will finally figure out how to eat something that will actually nourish and feed the body. Can you see how this could make us fat? The body is thinking, “We will deal with the fat later but right now this person needs some minerals and vitamins or things are really going to get ugly.”

If we ever so thick (pardon the pun) humans just never can get it right and continually starve our bodies of nutrients, then disease sets in and the appestat shuts down altogether as if to say, “This person really hasn’t got a clue as to how to eat. Don’t let them put another thing in their mouth. What’s left of the immune system is going to have to just get busy trying to save this one and hopefully the whole experience will be painful enough that they will start to listen to reason and logic and start treating their body with respect.”

Note how we lose our appetite when sick. This is no accident.

Now in this modern age, it is not entirely our fault that many have been caught up in this viscious cycle. Read below and I will show you what I mean. But first I want to give you the opportunity to provide your body with the nutrients it is likely craving. A beautiful combination of Ningxia Goji™ coupled with VibrantSea™ Greens is a powerful jolt to any body’s nutrient cravings.

The Story of a Very Big 'Little' Girl

I once saw a very disturbing case on the Dr. Phil show. It was of a little girl who could not get enough to eat. (Actually she was young, definitely not little) It was as though her appestat was on full throttle and never quit. They actually had to cage in the front porch of the house to keep her from running off looking for food.

When they took this little girl out, it was an absolute nightmare, as she would walk up to complete strangers and ask them to give her money to buy food. When the ice cream man drove by the front of her house, she would go into an absolute fit screaming and just going crazy. It was so horrible to see. My heart went out to the mother who had to deal with this. To be honest, I couldn’t understand how the mother wouldn’t have gone to Mr. Ice Cream Pusher with his Pavlovian bell nicely explaining the situation requesting that he bypass her little strip of street please. Given the obvious cage on the porch I imagine he would have complied. But then again, maybe they were some of his best customers. I don’t know. The little clips did show this little girl gorging on junk food such as death dogs (I mean hot dogs). I never once saw her gorging on salad, fruit or water.

Any of you who have listened to my video series on health can imagine that I wanted to jump right through the television and shake the mother awake and explain the whole appestat thing to them. I am quite sure that if this child were allowed to gorge on organic raw fruits, vegetables and nuts, her attacks would subside and she would return to the sweet little girl she was intended to be. Dr Phil and his expert did not mention anything about diet. They seemed to be completely perplexed and labeled it genetic (easy scapegoat).

The Slow Poisoning of America

I also would have suggested the mother read the book, The Slow Poisoning of America. Prompted by the sufferings of their own children, a husband wife team wrote this book to warn us of some dangerous information. They survived terrorizing attacks by the moneyed interests that do not want these truths to be known to you and me. They have had their house burnt down as well as other threats. They have bravely fought forward as they could not imagine withholding this deadly information from the public at large.

They have implored public officials to please warn the people. Not surprisingly, American government officials have not only ignored their pleas but have added further insult to all of us and our children by recently passing a law which has been dubbed “The Cheeseburger Bill.”

Let me explain. This bill essentially protects the food manufacturers from anyone who would hold them liable for their obesity. It seems only logical that a food company shouldn’t be held liable for someone’s obesity, right? Why would they need to pass a law protecting them?

Well, it is logical until you understand the truly evil trick hiding in the nasty chemical called MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). It is highly addictive and scientifically known to cause obesity. In fact, it was discovered by accident as researchers were seeking out a way to create obese rats to conduct scientific research on. They found that a baby rat injected with MSG would become unnaturally obese. ‘Un’ food manufacturers make liberal use of this chemical in spite of its obese causing agents because of this highly addictive nature. Nearly every processed un-food on the mainstream supermarket shelf contains MSG. All of the fast food joints make liberal use of it so that you will remain their customer for life. That is their goal.

The Cheeseburger Bill is an attempt to protect these ‘un’-food manufacturers from the legal misery that cigarette manufacturers now have to face.

Perhaps you have heard the little line in the commercial, “Betcha can’t eat just one.” They are taunting us because they know that they include the highly addictive MSG that keeps people coming back for more. If you saw the enlightening movie Supersize Me, you will recall how after only a few weeks of daily consumption of McDonalds the formerly upbeat experimenter suffered incredible bouts of depression and it wasn’t until he went to eat a hamburger that he began to feel better---so much so that he actually became giddy and mentioned that he felt as though he was on drugs.

McDonalds, in just a few short weeks, had effectively addicted his body to their food and MSG was their tool. Just like the cigarette companies used nicotine to addict their customers. This is why I call it evil. And I haven’t even gotten into how it permanently kills millions of brain cells. Read the book! Here’s an amazon link to the book if you want to read what others have to say about it. Slow Poisoning of America

If you want to slim down, get off of all processed foods!! This deadly chemical hides under many different names so reading the label won’t necessarily help. For example, they may mix MSG into soy lecithin and then only list the soy lecithin on the label. Law does not dictate that they include all of the ingredients that go into the ingredients (if you know what I mean.) Tricky tricky. I’m afraid this stuff is probably finding its way into a good bit of cookies and chips that are even found in many health food stores. Read those labels very carefully. I would say that a good 50-75% of all foods in a conventional grocery store has this nightmare additive that is slowly poisoning mankind. Go through your cabinets now and if you have one of these products, chuck it. Good riddens.

Companies don’t have souls so you must look to their owners. The problem with publicly traded companies is that they have what is called a fiduciary responsibility to increase shareholder (the owners) value. If addicting children and killing them in the process brings in more money than they have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. They will lobby the government to work for them because after all that is their fiduciary responsibility---by law! Nice laws we have, hmmm?

I trust people will increasingly make the intelligent decision to go back to the natural, begin growing their own little vegetable plots and making salads and soups from whole and healthy ingredients (all part of my downsizing sale). At least try to purchase from companies with a clear conscience. If you have fallen for the trick, make a promise to yourself to no longer give your power to them. Go for the natural. Respect yourself, your family, and ultimately the environment. Now, go clean out any rubbish that may be in your pantry.
