Hi All, This is an article from CNN, and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this product, or, if it really does work, where to get it. I know the title of the article itself can be off-putting, but it really does sound interesting.

The link is discussing a fruit from South Florida. I am unsure if this has been clinically tested and proven to be something that is effective with helping anyone. Please be every cautious about bringing any unproven product or treatment to this forum. There are very strict rules here about products that make promises which often turn into false claims.

In the OCF News, there are a few articles about different berries and trials that have been done. Here is the link.

Hi Christine- I apologize for bringing the "miracle berries" to the forum. I probably sound like a nut case with some of the stuff that I have mentioned, I guess I am just grasping at straws. I guess I am trying too hard to be Pro-active instead of Re-active. Won't happen again!!
Thanks-
Lyn

Sister is in the crop insurance industry here in Florida and lives next door...I work with her.

One of her clients grows these berries and sent some to Bill when they heard of his diagnosis and taste issues.

I tried one...they do indeed make everything taste super sweet for a little while. Bill was on just tube feedings and too painful to try it to see if it helped enhance his taste.


So, I am not sure if these berries have any other healing properties but they do for sure alter the taste of anything you put in your mouth.
