F.E. Nicley, MD
I received my medical degree from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Memphis, and my post-graduate training at the University of Tennessee and City of Memphis hospitals. For over 40 years I practiced general internal medicine in both private practice and at Bristol Memorial (now known as Bristol Regional Medical Center) where I was Chief of Staff from 1978 to 1979. I also did occupational medicine for 32 years.
My present practice combines general internal medicine and alternative medicine. I became aware of goji juice and its outstanding health benefits in October of 2003. I have been using it personally to further boost my energy and I have found it very beneficial in helping me through my radiation treatment for prostate cancer. I was approximately halfway through radiation therapy when I began drinking goji juice. Within one week, I found relief when the urinary stream became larger and more forceful, and the frequency of urination decreased by more than 50 percent. I was also very fortunate to have no ill effects from the radiation, which I contribute to using goji juice.
In addition to benefiting me, several of my patients have had excellent results from drinking goji juice. Here are just a few examples:
An 83-year-old man with chronic lung disease was discharged from the hospital following an acute episode. He was on oxygen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He asked if I could help him, as his pulmonologist had told him he had done all he could. I advised him that boosting his immune system was the only way to help. Within four weeks of drinking goji juice, he had remarkable improvement. Currently, he is only using oxygen at night, and really for more of a sense of security than out of necessity, as he is no longer having shortness of breath. This was six months ago, and he continues to do well.
A 45-year-old female with hypertension that was not controlled, and who was not able to tolerate many anti-hypertension drugs, was able to normalize her blood pressure and discontinue her medication within two weeks of drinking goji juice. Her blood pressure had a mild rebound at which time she increased her use of goji juice and her blood pressure has remained normal for the past six months. She told me that she finally has her life back.
A 47-year-old male who is a long distance trucker was sleeping poorly due to Restless Leg Syndrome. Since drinking goji juice he is sleeping well and his legs have stopped jerking.
The potential for goji juice to modify health problems is unparalleled in my 40 years in medicine. The results illustrated in my patients and myself without the undesired side effects associated with drugs is a tremendous blessing.
