Testimonial - Mangosteen and Cancer

Thanks to Karen Veverka, my upline sponsor, for passing this along. Karen was so happy and proud to be able to help Gina. Yes, telling people about Xango is financially rewarding, but this type of inspiration is what really keeps me going. Gina runs a day care out of her home outside of Cleveland, OH. Hopefully this will inspire others to try the 21-day challenge for major health issues.


This is my journey through being diagnosed with follicular thyroid cancer.
In July of 2007 I went to get my bloodpressure medicine refilled at the doctor.
The doctor said she felt a "thickening" in my neck.
At that point she wasn't even sure it was my thyriod.
It just so happened I went to the ENT the next Friday with one of my children.
I had mentioned it to him.
He sat me in the chair and felt my neck.
He said yes it was my thyriod, he felt three nodules.
He biopsied them in the office.
I had never had a needle biopsy before, I was really scared.
The results came back that the cells in the nodules were known to cause cancer.
He sent me for another test called a thyroid scan and uptake.
The results came back that the nodules were cold which ment it was cancer.
I was scheduled for surgery on October 3, 2007. I was told that if it was cancer he would remove my entire thyroid.
They biopsied the nodules in surgery and said no it wasn't cancer.
We were elated for about a week.
I went back in for a follow-up check up, was told that it WAS cancer ,and I had to have a second surgery immediately to remove the rest of my thyroid.
On October 17th I went in for a second surgery. Needless to say I was weak and not feeling well at all. They gave me a couple of weeks to rest and gave me an Isotope 131 radiation treatment.
I was isolated for 4 days from everyone, and on a special low iodine diet.
Yuck.
I was allowed to eat 5oz of plain chicken a day, matzo, fruits and veggies.
I lost 20 lbs.
I got sick from the treatment and was throwing up radiation.
I burned all my tastebuds, and still don't have all of them back. I can taste but things don't taste the same as they use to.
I was so tired and weak from the treatment that it was hard to go Christmas shopping, or enjoy the holidays.
I had a body scan and discovered the cancer spread to my sinuses and lungs.
At that point I figured my life couldn't get any worse, then I met Carol Trenka and Karen Veverka.
When Carol heard I had cancer she sprang into action, and had me talk to Karen about Xango.
She said there was a 21 day cancer challenge and wanted me to participate.
I gave it a shot.
I just received my bloodwork back on Feburary 22, 2008.
My doctor said my bloodwork is "excellent."
He said I would not have to have another treatment. I will have more tests done in May to see if the cancer spread anywere else, beside my thyroid , lung, and sinuses.
I have been taking Xango since January 3rd and have never felt better.
I have energy and can finally do the things I couldn't do three months ago.
Even my asthma is better.
I have not used my inhaler in 3 weeks
I love life now and am able to keep up with everyone now.
I owe my life to Karen Veverka, Carol Trenka and Xango.
I hopefully will be around a long time to see my 4 children grow up.
They say there are angels on this earth and I am glad that God sent Karen and Carol to save my life with Xango!
Karen I hope this helps somene else with this disease, and they take the challenge also to make their life better.
Have a great day!

CHRIS: BEATING STAGE 4 BRAIN CANCER

After suffering from headaches for months, I had a seizure in late September of 2006. When I awoke, I learned that I had been out for 1 1/2 days! In that time I was air flown to UCSF for emergency surgery to remove 2 tumors, a golf ball sized and another smaller one, from the left side of my brain. Unfortunately, a 3rd tumor could not be removed, as that would have left me unable to talk and possibly paralyze my entire left side. This tumor was of a kind known as a Glioblastoma multiforme tumor. I researched it online. Here is an excerpt from a Wikipedia definition:

Glioblastoma multiforme

(GBM), also known as grade 4 astrocytoma, is the most common

and aggressive type of primary brain tumor, accounting for 52% of all primary brain tumor cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors. Despite being the most prevalent form of primary brain tumor, GBM's occur at only 2-3 cases per 100,000 people in Europe and North America. Treatment can involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery; all of which are acknowledged as palliative measures, meaning that they do not provide a cure. The five year survival rate of the disease has remained unchanged over the past 30 years, and stands at less than three percent. Even with complete surgical resection of the tumor, combined with the best available treatment, the survival rate for GBM remains very low.

I was told that I had 6 months to live. Within 6 weeks, I was on chemo and radiation therapies with no effect. In fact, my first MRI results from this showed that the tumor had actually DOUBLED in size!

I put out an email to my local community asking if anyone knew of anything that may help me. Richard is a friend that had just been introduced to Mangosteen Juice himself and learned that it was effective in a number of areas, including the breaking down of tumors. He said he didn't know if it would work for me, but perhaps I would be open to trying it. I laughed. "Rich, my doctors gave me six months to live! You bet I will try it!"

I went on the '21 day challenge', drinking 1 bottle a day for 21 days, along with plenty of filtered water. After 11 days of drinking the juice, I had my second MRI. I couldn't believe it! My tumor had SHRUNK and all cancer activity in my brain STOPPED! I was screaming with joy and called all my friends and relatives! My parents were in tears!

Earlier, when it was first suggested that I do chemo to combat the tumor, I was told that one of the side effects was death! To me, that was not an option and I decided to stop all chemo and radiation therapies.

I continued drinking the mangosteen juice, cutting back to 1/2 bottle a day for the next month. My next MRI came in showing the tumor continuing to shrink. I was so excited! I am getting my life back! This tumor does not have a chance!

During my 1Oth week of drinking the juice, I went in to get my fourth MRI. The radiologist was too busy to meet with me. Fortunately, I was with a friend that had experience reading MRI's so we rushed on home to look at it on my laptop computer. We were puzzled with what we saw, or rather DIDN’T see. Calling the radiologist, I asked why I didn’t see anything on this MRI. He pulled it up on his screen, looked at it and laughed. "That is because IT’S NOT THERE! You NO LONGER HAVE A TUMOR,

my friend!" My oncologist was stunned as well! I could not believe it! MY TUMOR WAS GONE! I spent the rest of the day and into the evening calling all of my relatives and friends! Originally, my doctors told me that I should have been DEAD 2 months ago! I have my LIFE back!

I continue drinking the Mangosteen juice as a preventative. I also highly recommend maintaining an alkaline diet, and meditation to keep a positive outlook on your future. I don’t know if this miracle juice will do the same for anyone out there suffering from a tumor, but am I glad that Richard introduced it to me. If not, I probably would not be here today.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am grateful for every day of my life!

Sincerely,

Chris
