Anyone heard of them? My brother in law has just come back from Spain. He takes them regularly and swears by them!! He has given some to Father in law to try and pep him up a bit. Wondering whether to give them a try too??

Hi Sandie
My son sent me some from UK I do eat a few now and again, and yes I have looked them up on the internet, they certainly seem to be singing praises about thier properties, but I didn't turn into a 21 yr old again unforunately, so awaiting another fantastic discovery..
Here's hoping

I have tried them but I think they taste horrid!! the yoghurt coated ones from julian graves are ok but I expect the yoghurt coating is not too healthy. They are really good for you and you only need to eat 5 a day... allegedly. |

Hi Brenda, Dont know about a miracle!! but I bought some online from Springherb. Seemed to be the best deal at the moment. Ordered quite a few though and shared them with parents. They have a sell by date of 2010 so plenty of time lol!! Not sure if Spirulina is better, but the family seem impressed with these and I must admit they will replace the supplements I am taking already and probably overall paying more for. Bought a packet locally at the weekend and do feel a bit perkier, but how much of it is in my head? - couldnt say lol

Well the job lot arrived this morning 5KG so will have to let you know how we get on. We're driven mainly by father in law who is very poorly and we are hopeful that they may make him feel a bit brighter and if they happen to be a miracle cure for cancer - well we've hit the jackpot!!

aloe vera powder is apparently good for cancer patients. I had treatment for ME by a chemist/nutrionist who also treats cancer patients and he uses these. they cured my ME which id had for 3 years after we'd tried everything else here is a link to them: http://www.oceansofgoodness.com/uk/pages/products/aloevera_10k.htm lots better than yukky aloe vera juice which i also tried. hope he gets well soon- they are excellent for nausea too |

I have them every morning on my muesli along with maca powder (which was recommended on here some time ago) As I'm presently feeling about l05 years old and can't even be bothered to ride, they don't seem to be working - but it's early days yet so I'll let you know if I turn into a sprightly energetic young thing.
Hoping the cellulite reduction thing works too. |

Well after reading Deb's huge list of the merits of eating Goji berries I went and got myself some today They're half price in Julian Graves at the moment including the yoghurt covered ones, must admit chickened out and got the coated ones as the assistant said they taste pretty vile without the yoghurt |
