Don't Forget Your 3SIXTY5!

Well, I have been taking my Xango 3SIXTY5 supplements for a month now, and I feel great! I am more aware, have more energy and I am sleeping MUCH better. It feels great to know that I am getting the benefit of fruits and vegetables, because I usually don’t have the time to eat as healthy as I should.

The only problem I have is that throughout my busy day, I have been having problems remembering to take them.

With that in mind, here is my list of the best ways to remember to take them. Feel free to give other suggestions if you have any.


Top 10 Ways to remember your 3SIXTY5:

10. Set an extra alarm, one for waking up, and one for taking your 3SIXTY5.

9. Keep the package in your silverware drawer. If you are reaching for a fork, you are eating. Time to take your supplements.

8. Keep AM Packs in your car. If you forget in the morning, you might remember throughout your day.

7. Tape PM Packs to a light switch. If you forget to take them at dinner, you will remember when you turn out the light to go to bed.

6. Tape packages to the inside and outside of your front door. You will remember the AM Pack on the way out, and remember the PM pack when you get home. (That is, assuming you still have a J.O.B.)

5. This one is for the couch potatoes: Keep the TV remote UNDER the box of 3SIXTY5! So, not only will you remember your pills, you will also ALWAYS be able to find the remote! Oh, by the way, don’t you have some sales calls to make?!

4. Speaking of sales calls, why not keep the box next to your phone in the office? You will have to notice them there.

3. Keep the box of 3SIXTY5 on the stove, or tape the packages to the burner dials. That way, if you are making dinner, you won’t forget.

2. Even if you aren’t in your office making sales calls, you are almost ALWAYS answering e-mails! Tape a reminder to your mouse or mouse-pad. You are bound to see it there!


And the Number 1 way to remember your 3SIXTY5 Supplements (drum-roll, please):

You guessed it! Tape the packages to your Xango bottle!!! You NEVER forget to drink your Xango!!!

Dr. Miller call updates, and some sound advice

Thanks to Fifi Cheek for the following information:


Dr. Miller and I have made a decision to suspend the monthly Mangosteen Call for the next several months due to travel and time constraints. Therefore, please help us get the word out since this is effective immediately beginning with the July call !

I 'd like to take this opportunity to share a few of our observations with you that I think may be a helpful reminder for everyone ......... Dr. Miller and I have both noticed that, other than a few very rare diseases that come up from time to time, the majority of the questions each month pertain to many of the same diseases that not only have been addressed on all the prior calls but are also covered in general on Dr. Miller's "Mangosteen Q&A" CD and also in his "Serving & Guidelines" brochure.

Many people are literally waiting several weeks to a whole month to get an answer for someone's question about their personal situation rather than realizing that this is just a FRUIT ........ powerful AND with no negative side effects ...... but, just a FOOD .......and people just need to give it a try !!!! Yes, the amount needed may vary which is why one needs to listen to their own body and play around with amounts until they begin to see some relief........but remembering that these Xanthones have powerful medicinal properties and it's important to give the body time as it begins it's own process towards higher health.

I think what I am trying to stress is that it ultimately does not matter so much what name Western medicine has given a particular set of symptoms because all DIS - EASE is exactly what it implies ........ the body is out of balance (generally due to physical inflammation as a result of stress !) so we drink the juice to give our body what it needs to restore balance so the body can begin to do what it's designed to do, which is heal itself !

My feeling is that it's imperative that we keep this as simple as possible just sharing from our hearts about the mangosteen gift we have and then sharing some of the amazing doctor's CD's and educational tools that we have available to us and allowing it to be simple AND duplicateable.
Many thanks to Dr. Albert Miller for his knowledge and time to help us all over the last year and a half. I'd also like to thank each and every one of you for your participation and tremendous support on all the calls. Many of these past calls are archived and available at www.247audios.com .

Please help us by getting this information out to everyone quickly since the next call would have been July 1 !!!

Blessings of perfect health and abundance,

Fifi Cheek

Testimonial for Diabetes / High Blood Pressure

Mangosteen Diabetes / Blood Pressure

In July 2006 I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I felt I took care of myself fairly well, but I guess I didn’t. I wasn’t feeling well, my energy was down and boy could I sleep. I even took a 90 minute nap everyday. So I went to see a doctor who did some blood work, he had me do a 12 hour fast, before we drew blood. My findings, Blood Pressure 126/94, Blood sugar 276, HbA1C 11.7. Doctor told me I was diabetic and had probably been so for about 2 yrs.

So, I made some diet changes and began to do some aerobic exercises (walking, bike riding). I was able to bring blood sugar levels down to about 150’s for a few months. I was a bit frustrated because my goal is under 130. Oh, I’m trying not to use prescription meds to control it.

Well I got introduced to the mangosteen juice and decided to give it a try. I talked with a doctor who had clinical experience using the fruit to help control diabetes. What he told me was after using this supplement for a time my sugar would rise but then it would begin to come into range. But he couldn’t say how long that would take to achieve.

I decided to give it a try, after about 6 weeks of using it I experienced a drop of about 40 pts to my blood sugar. I am eating better, exercising and using mangosteen juice to help control my Type II Diabetes. My sugar numbers stay in the 130’s and my blood pressure is normal again. I am a Huge Believer!!

Mangosteen Juice Recommended By Dr. Oz on the Oprah Winfrey Show

Here is an excerpt of what Dr. Oz said on the Oprah Winfrey Show. This is slide 10 of a 15 page slideshow on Oprah.com:

Goji berries, manogsteen and purslane

Other foods that Dr. Oz says can improve vitality are goji berries and mangosteen. He says these foods are ancient healing tools that have strong antioxidants to promote everything from sexuality to longevity.

Another vitality food that Dr. Oz recommends is a weed called purslane. "Purslane is rich in omega-3 fats. Those are the healthy oils we want to coat our membranes and our joints," Dr. Oz says. "You can make them in salads. In my home, we mix them with yogurt and garlic and it's just spectacular."

How to eat a mangosteen

The mangosteen fruit is still quite rare in the West, but has been highly regarded in Southeast Asia for centuries for it's excellent taste and medicinal properties. Known as the "Queen of Fruits", (not the "King", as the announcer mistakenly calls it) this unusual delicacy should be properly prepared, as the video shows.

New Mangosteen Research Establishes Xanthone Measurement Standard

XanGo, LLC, recognized creator of the mangosteen supplement category is leading scientific exploration of the whole mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana) through a tiered approach based on safety, standardization and efficacy. In a study published in the June 2007 issue of the Journal of Separation Science, researchers established a credible scientific method for testing and measuring xanthones. Preliminary results from a separate study conducted on XanGo® Juice, indicate usage of the whole mangosteen fruit as a delivery vehicle leads to high xanthone absorption.

"These two studies put into context how to measure xanthones and how to effectively absorb these phytonutrients," said Edward Walker, Ph.D., of Weber State University, lead researcher on the published study. "A xanthone measurement standard is in place. Now claims concerning xanthone quantity and efficacy can be evaluated through credible research."

Published study sets xanthone measurement standard In the peer-reviewed method for quantifying xanthones from the mangosteen fruit, Walker used the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to create an analytical method that accurately identifies xanthones from the rind of the mangosteen fruit.

According to Walker, an 80:20 acetone/water mixture was used to extract the xanthones from dried, ground whole mangosteen fruit rind.

"A total of six xanthones were purified by preparative HPLC, utilizing the same solvent system and UV detection as for the analytical method," said Walker. "Each compound has unique UV absorption spectra that allows for easy identification of the xanthone found naturally in the mangosteen fruit."

Research lab ChromaDex developed the standards, and in accordance with AOAC protocol, performed a single lab validation to quantify xanthones through comparison measurement of detector response factors of individual xanthones. Walker said the research team chose the whole mangosteen fruit rind as the starting point because it holds the highest concentration of xanthones in their natural, unaltered state.

"Although researchers are in the process of identifying and measuring additional xanthones, this study, published in the Journal of Separation Science, ensures a more consistent and reliable marketing of mangosteen products to consumers relative to claims of xanthone content," said Walker.

Whole fruit drives absorption

A pre-clinical, preliminary 28-day study of XanGo Juice by Charles River Laboratories Montreal identified the bioavailability of xanthones to determine how many xanthones are actually absorbed and the pathway they travel. Study director Susan McPherson, MSc, senior research scientist at Charles River Laboratories, said preliminary research findings demonstrate that the proprietary whole fruit formula in XanGo Juice leads to high levels of xanthone absorption.

Ongoing research shows high absorption of xanthones in defined dosages, with elements of the whole mangosteen fruit as a delivery vehicle. Unnaturally elevated levels of xanthone consumption actually were shown to result in decreased absorption efficiency.

Preliminary results also showed long-term daily consumption of XanGo Juice to increase levels of xanthones in the blood.

"This is an issue of quality over quantity," said Mike Pugh, manager, research and development at XanGo. "These preliminary findings add further context to the published xanthone measurement study. Ongoing research shows artificially inflating or manipulating a product with xanthone extracts may not add any value. The mangosteen presents more value in its whole fruit form, as presented in XanGo Juice. There are many other phytochemicals found in the fruit that have beneficial effects which are lost in extraction or jeopardized when the natural balance of the fruit is manipulated."

XanGo Juice is produced through a proprietary whole fruit formula based on a puree of the entire mangosteen. The whole mangosteen fruit contains 39 different xanthones. The rind of the mangosteen is considered nature's most abundant source of xanthones. Xanthones, a unique class of phytonutrients, possess a range of powerful antioxidant properties.

Study: Dark-Colored Fruits and Veggies Fight Cancer

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice, so goes the saying.

But it turns out the darker berry or plum or grape, for that matter, the stronger the cancer-fighting properties.

Researchers conducting a recent study found that the compounds that give some fruits and vegetables their rich colors are powerful cancer deterrants.

Evidence from laboratory experiments on rats and on human colon cancer cells also suggests that anthocyanins, the compounds that give color to most red, purple and blue fruits and vegetables, also slow the growth of colon cancer cells.

"These foods contain many compounds, and we're just starting to figure out what they are and which ones provide the best health benefits," said Monica Giusti, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of food science at Ohio State University , in a news release.

The findings, which Giusti presented August 19 at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society, in Boston, also bring scientists a step closer to figuring out what gives fruits and vegetables their cancer-fighting properties.

/**/

Giusti and her colleagues found that in some cases, slight alterations to the structure of anthocyanin molecules made these compounds more potent anti-cancer agents.

In their studies on human colon cells grown in laboratory dishes, the researchers tested the anti-cancer effects of anthocyanin-rich extracts from a variety of fruits and vegetables. They retrieved these anthocyanins from grapes, radishes, purple corn, chokeberries, bilberries, purple carrots and elderberries.

The plants were chosen due to their extremely deep colors and high anthocyanin content.

The researchers found that the amount of anthocyanin extract needed to reduce cancer cell growth by 50 percent varied among the plants. Extract derived from purple corn was the most potent and used the least amount of extract (14 micrograms per milliliter of cell growth solution) to cut cell numbers in half.

Chokeberry and bilberry extracts were nearly as potent as purple corn. Radish extract was the least potent and it took nine times as much (131 milligrams per milliliter) of this compound to cut cell growth by 50 percent.

"All fruits and vegetables that are rich in anthocyanins have compounds that can slow down the growth of colon cancer cells, whether in experiments in laboratory dishes or inside the body," Giusti said.

In additional laboratory studies, researchers found that anthocyanin pigments from radish and black carrots slowed the growth of cancer cells anywhere from 50 to 80 percent.

Pigments from purple corn and chokeberries not only completely stopped the growth of cancer cells, but also killed almost 20 percent of the cancer cells while having little effect on healthy cells.
