PubMed Results For Xanthones As They Relate To Breast Cancer

Thanks to Karen Veverka for forwarding the following information:

Hi Team,
Below is the latest post (June 18, 2008)from PubMed regarding the xanthones found in the PERICARP of the Mangosteen fruit (which is the MAIN INGREDIENT in our juice) as it relates to breast cancer.
Remember, others may use the "juice" of the "fruit" and list it as a last ingredient but WE USE THE WHOLE FRUIT PUREE (which means the PERICARP) as our FIRST ingredient.
VERY PROMISING!
Share it!

Xanthones from the Botanical Dietary Supplement Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) with Aromatase Inhibitory Activity.

kinghorn.4@osu.edu.

Twelve xanthone constituents of the botanical dietary supplement mangosteen (the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana) were screened using a noncellular, enzyme-based microsomal aromatase inhibition assay. Of these compounds, garcinone D ( 3), garcinone E ( 5), alpha-mangostin ( 8), and gamma-mangostin ( 9) exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity. In a follow-up cell-based assay using SK-BR-3 breast cancer cells that express high levels of aromatase, the most potent of these four xanthones was gamma-mangostin ( 9). Because xanthones may be consumed in substantial amounts from commercially available mangosteen products, the consequences of frequent intake of mangosteen botanical dietary supplements require further investigation to determine their possible role in breast cancer chemoprevention.

Mangosteen Juice - The Truth Is In The Taste

Here is an article written by David McFarlane for ArticleBiz.com.

What is Mangosteen Juice?

It is juice made from the fruit of the mangosteen tree. That is the short (and smart aleck) answer. Mangosteen juice is also a nutritional supplement with powerful health benefits.

Mangosteen trees are probably native to Southeast Asia. That is where they grow best. They are difficult to cultivate in the Western hemisphere, and they require a subtropical climate, with temperatures never dropping below 45°F. The fruit is delicate and does not ship well. It does not process well, either, and breaks down with as little as ten minutes of pasteurization time.

To get your hands on fresh mangosteen, you have to go where it grows or pay a hefty price for a frozen mangosteen. There is a story that one high-end hotel had a crate of frozen mangosteens shipped to them, and sold them as a menu item for around $100 each—for a plum-sized fruit.

You can still get the health benefits of mangosteen by drinking mangosteen juice. This juice is made by pulping the entire fruit, straining it and pasteurizing the juice. It is important to get juice that is made from the entire fruit, because most of the health benefits are in the hull.

Mangosteen juice is the richest source of xanthones (a powerful type of antioxidant) on the planet. Antioxidants work at the cellular level, so they improve the health of all of your body systems.

Benefits of Mangosteen Juice

We do not know for sure what all of the benefits of mangosteen juice are yet. Research is being done, but the results are preliminary, so we cannot say for certain which of the claims made about mangosteen juice are true.

We do know that mangosteen juice is a potent antioxidant, and antioxidants prevent cell damage from free radicals. We also know that antioxidants are more effective when we get them from fruits and vegetables than when we take a processed supplement.

Antioxidants, such as those found in mangosteen juice, lower cholesterol levels and contribute to cardiovascular health. They may prevent some kinds of cancer. Some of the xanthones in mangosteen juice are Cox-2 inhibitors, similar to the ones found in arthritis medications.

Antioxidants decrease inflammation and improve immunity. They may improve brain function and they help with stomach and intestinal problems. Antioxidants improve the function of every cell in your body. Indeed, mangosteen juice is a flavorful, healthy way to get a load of xanthones. Drinking antioxidant mangosteen juice is one step you can take for better health.

Great Website For Mangosteen Information

I just found a great site for more information on the mangosteen fruit. (Actually the site owner left a comment on Mangosteen Testimonials.)

The site is simply a down-to-earth overview about many aspects of the fruit, tree, and health benefits.

You can find the homepage at Mangosteen Info, and here are links to the sub-pages:

Whole Fruit Usage the Key to Xanthone Absorption

State of the Mangosteen Category: 2008

Here is some information taken from Xangonewscenter.com

XanGo CEO: “As the mangosteen market grows, leadership means setting new research standards, product innovation and ground-breaking brand-centric marketing”

Statement by Aaron Garrity, CEO of XanGo, LLC

LEHI, UT – Mar. 14, 2008 – The mangosteen is leading the race in superfruits and healthy foods, according to the 2008 Packaged Facts Food Flavours and Ingredients Outlook. XanGo LLC, the company that created the category when it introduced XanGo® Juice to a global market in 2003, continues to dominate the space, leading the category with more than 80 percent of market share*.

Setting scientific research standards

With scientific partners that include Northridge, Calif.-based Medicus Research, Weber State University and leading independent laboratories, XanGo is spearheading the scientific exploration of the whole mangosteen fruit through a tiered approach based on safety, standardization and efficacy.

As awareness and consumption of the mangosteen has increased worldwide, so has the need to better understand the fruit's most prominent phytonutrient, xanthones. Through XanGo's leadership, independent researchers have established a credible scientific method for testing and measuring xanthones.

Now, through this peer-reviewed, published study, category participants and consumers have a more consistent and reliable method of measuring and marketing mangosteen products relative to xanthone content claims.

A pre-clinical, preliminary 28-day study of XanGo Juice by Charles River Laboratories of 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.

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.

It's better to respect the mangosteen as nature intended. And honor the true definition of "whole fruit" usage. If you say it, you should mean it. Whole fruit is a promise and consumers want that access to the mangosteen. In keeping that promise, XanGo launched the leading consumer resource for mangosteen science, www.thewholefruit.com.

Consumers deserve product innovation

In a new era of consumer demand for the mangosteen, millions around the world are looking for access to the astonishing mangosteen fruit in a variety of fresh product vehicles. Consumers everywhere are clamoring to make the mangosteen a part of their active and healthy lifestyles.

During the past year, XanGo expanded the global reach of the category through expanded access to our flagship product, XanGo Juice to nearly one million distributors who operate now in more than 20 countries and territories.

Last spring, XanGo introduced XALO™ into European markets, where interest and sales have soared. XALO's formula combines the acclaim of aloe with the mangosteen to offer consumers a combination of great taste and vibrant nutritional benefits in a complete and complex functional beverage. Through this proprietary blend of some of the world's most celebrated botanicals, consumers may receive the following nutritional and antioxidant benefits: support of digestive health; revitalization and regeneration of healthy skin; improvement in proper absorption of vital nutrients; and a boost of natural energy levels.

In January, XanGo launched the XanGo Single, a one-ounce single-serving package of XanGo Juice allowing consumers the ease of carrying their recommended daily serving with them throughout the day.
New research shows the effectiveness of the mangosteen and xanthones in skin health and nutrition. Performance from mangosteen properties proved effective in improving age-related changes in the skin as well as enhancement of skin texture and touch. Another study demonstrated the mangosteen’s antioxidant punch in taking on acne-producing bacteria.

Later this year XanGo will launch a product line Glimpse, Intuitive Skin Care. GLIMPSE by XanGo is built to respond to specific skin care needs with an intelligent xanthone formulation that puts the green power of the earth at your service. GLIMPSE will feature a revolutionary, patented xanthone formulation that only XanGo can create. XanGo developed our exclusive xanthone formula for GLIMPSE through scientific exploration and advanced skin nutrition technology. Keep watch for more news on Glimpse at www.XanGoLaunch2008.com.

A new marketing revolution

Education and dialogue have been key components in XanGo's creation and advancement of the mangosteen supplement category worldwide. In October 2007, XanGo introduced XanGo.TV the first brand-centric video sharing site at this level in the marketplace.

XanGo.TV is a big hit with over a million visitors already. Distributors and consumers worldwide are producing, sending and sharing XanGo.TV videos about their experiences with the mangosteen and XanGo Juice.

XanGo.TV is dedicated to broadcasting the XanGo lifestyle by providing visitors an inside view of real-life stories and insights. With a library of videos and podcasts, visitors can chronicle the genesis of the mangosteen supplement category creator as it evolves to a surging global market.

In 2008, XanGo hosted its inaugural XanGo.TV Awards Show, recognizing the best video entries from distributors around the world. The Top 10 winners from among more than 200 entries and from more than 20 international markets who put their XanGo stories and inspirations into short films were honored during a 20-minute online broadcast event at www.xango.tv.

XanGo is intent on continuing to lead the market as the worldwide leader in mangosteen-based products. Supported by the success of the direct sales model, XanGo is one of the world’s fastest growing companies and will continue to set high goals for its corporate innovation and charitable work.

Jackie's Story - Arthritis

JACKIE LIVES IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON.

SHE WAS SPONSORED BY HER SON HANK.

YOU’LL SEE HER AT ALL THE REGIONAL AND NATIONAL XANGO EVENTS.

SHE IS COMMITTED TO BLESSING THE LIVES OF EVERYONE SHE MEETS WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF XANGO.



I HAVE A MISSION TO SPREAD THE WORD OF XANGO!

My name is Jackie Neaville, and I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 1993.

Since that time I have been on naprosyn (which caused an upper GI bleed), Tylenol, Celebrex, Prilosec (to protect my stomach from NSAID damage) and finally Arthrotec. I had my right shoulder replaced in 2003 and my left shoulder replaced in 2006.

In 2003 my recovery from shoulder replacement was uneventful, but lengthy. It was about 8 weeks before I was back to my usual activities. In 2006, my son insisted that I drink Xango juice and brought me a bottle while I was still hospitalized. I was a bit skeptical but agreed to drink it. After three and a half weeks on Xango, I decided to update my kitchen. I took all the doors off my kitchen cabinets, sanded, primed and painted them. My physical therapist was astonished that I could think about such a thing so soon after surgery, much less do it. I felt great. I had no pain, and I had stopped taking a fairly high dose of Vicodin. The only difference between the 2003 and 2006 surgeries was my drinking Xango.

The difference between how I felt and healed was both amazing and remarkable.

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!

How Statin Drugs Weaken Muscle Tissue


Statins, a popular set of drugs used to lower cholesterol, can result in muscle weakness and pain, and even debilitating and life-threatening muscle damage. A new study offers the first evidence that a gene known as atrogin-1 plays a key role in statin-related muscle toxicity.

Statins such as Lipitor, Zocor, Pavacol and Mevacor lower cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. But they may also activate the atrogin-1 gene, which plays a key role in muscle atrophy.

Three separate tests showed that even at low concentrations, statin drugs led to atrogin-1 induced muscle damage. As the concentration was increased, the damage increased as well.

New Prospecting Tool - New School Dial Suite


Very Important Personal Message from Master Prospector and 100K Aaron Rashkin

If you have been following along over the past few years as my wife Sophia & I have grown our own XanGo business, you would have noticed the many different ways that we've built.

We started with Warm Market, calling family, friends and people we knew.

We then began making 3rd Party / Referral Calls to our New Distributor's Warm Market, getting many of these people signed up. We still called our own Warm Market.

We then began calling Cold Market and bringing on board others from different cities and even countries. We still called Warm Market and our New Distributor's Warm Market.

Then we built in a Local Market primarily, doing one on one's, using the phone & internet to get people exposed. We sill called Warm Market, our New Distributor's Warm Market & called Cold Market.

We've used CDs, DVDs, Brochures & Sizzle Cards with our Warm Market, our Distributor's Warm Market, a Cold Market and Local Market.

We then began a string of Home Parties that ran for over 30 weeks consecutive. We did them every single Friday Night / Saturday Day or Night for months on end, getting better and better each week.

So, here's my message and why I'm telling you this:

All of it works. Every single way. The Tools we have used over the years have all been excellent and we continue to use them to this day.

Whether or not our Tools & Systems work is not in question; it's whether you are willing to do what it takes to make the tools and systems work is what is in question.

I can tell you this , if you want to increase your rate of success, you must increase your rate of failure.

Doing nothing results in nothing.

Doing a lot, while becoming a lot, results in long term, steady growth; not just in your business, but in yourself.

And since it is you that people get started for, along with the value they see in XanGo, this is the real formula for your success.

All I can tell you is this. If you are not prospecting and becoming a leader, the incredulous success that XanGo has had over the years, does not matter.

What matters is how you grow as a leader and as a marketer. Most people who have not grown, will blame XanGo and leave for some Mickey Mouse Deal because they think it's easier to be more successful in another company. I see it every day. Those who struggled for years in XanGo and who go over to other companies and struggle there too. LOL!

Many of them are reading this message and I know who they are, b/c my Delivery Report shows that they've opened and read every one of my emails for months, even years! Sadly enough, they still struggle. Go figure!

Anyway, back on target here:

The #1 Skill you MUST master to succeed is Prospecting. Do it and learn from your mistakes, and you will grow. Do it not and you will wind up being one of those people who have their first year in XanGo, year after year after year.

With that being said, my blessing goes out to everyone who is investing in their long term success as a leader by using our brand new calling system called NewSchoolDialSuite.com.

This tool is by far the single most important tool, along with MJS that we've seen in a long, long time in XanGo.

Learn to use these two tools together and you have a 1 - 2 punch that will help you take your own business to a new level, because YOU will rise to a new level.

I truly believe that those who engage in the NewSchoolDialSuite & MJS as a tandem, will QUANTIFY their results in a fraction of the time that it would normally take by just working in a Warm Market, going WIDE at first instead of Streamlining.

We've already seen the power of MJS and now, with the power that the Dial Suite brings, all bets are off when it comes to how quickly those who use these two together will reach new levels of success.

Here is what I've found.

To help someone get to 1K FAST, work with them in their Warm Market while using MyJetStream.

To help someone get to 5K Fast, have them continue to work in their Warm Market, but also begin learning some Cold Market skills.

This is what the Dial Suite will help people do.

Then, while they learn these new skills, they will also be continuing to work in their Warm Market.

This is the key; to mix new skills with old contacts and new skills with new contacts. You will be shocked at how quickly someone who is stuck at Preferred Rep, 1K or even 5K, moves up XanGo's Compensation Plan following this formula.

If you have been stuck and you are frustrated, do something new. Remember doing more of what is not already working, doesn't make it any better.

If you want to increase your value in the marketplace, learn new skills. This is how you take it to the top. This is how you break out of the rut you might be in. This is how you increase your worth in the marketplace and get bigger, better and more frequent checks.

This is how you succeed.

I cannot say it any other way.

Learn new skills for today's marketplace or perish.

The rules are different and the game has changed.

Make it a great night, get your XanGo Singles and get onto the NewSchoolDialSuite.

Best regards,

Aaron Rashkin

Mangosteen "21 Day Challenge"

Recently, someone asked me how the Xango "21 Day Challenge" works, when faced with critical health issues such as cancer. (Hope you are doing better, A.).


The best explanation I have found is at Mangosteen Healthy Option, so thanks to them, and here it is:


1. Drink 1 whole bottle of Xango juice (about 25 oz.) per day for 21 days

2. PLUS about a gallon of distilled or purified water.

The “21-Day Challenge” proposes that individuals who have critical health problems — just about any form of cancer — issue a challenge to their health condition by committing themselves to drink an entire 25 oz. bottle of Xango juice each day for a period of 21 days, **PLUS** drinking at least one gallon (eight 16 oz. glasses) of pure water—such as spring or distilled water—along with the juice. The 4 to 6 hour half-life of Xango juice in the body would suggest that the consumption of both juice and water be spread out somewhat evenly throughout the 24 hours.

This is important in order to flush the toxins from the body. The only probable uncomfortable thing about it is the need to go to a toilet many times!

**NOTE: It is essential that the recommended amount of water be consumed along with the juice. As the Xango juice is consumed, the cells begin to function normally to clear and release toxins into the blood stream—and these toxins must be eliminated from the body. The rule of thumb for water consumption is 1/2 ounce for every pound of body weight for those who are sedentary, or 2/3 ounce for every pound of body weight for those who are active. For example, if you weight 100 pounds and are not active you would drink 50 ounces of water.

To make sure you are drinking all the water you need, find a large pitcher and fill it in the morning, making sure to consume all of the water before evening (refilled as necessary). Otherwise, you will think you’ve had enough water, but in fact, that is seldom the case!

(If you are unable to drink the required water, it is better to use less Xango juice)

Recommended intake per day:

BREAKFAST
20 min before breakfast:
drink 1/3 bottle Xango juice
NO distilled water consumed until right before lunch

LUNCH
30 min before lunch:
drink 1/3 gallon distilled water
10 min later
drink 1/3 bottle of Xango juice
20 min later
eat & enjoy lunch!

DINNER
30 min before dinner:
drink 1/3 gallon distilled water
10 min later
drink 1/3 bottle of mangosteen juice
20 min later
eat & enjoy dinner!

Drink the remaining 1/3 gallon distilled water
spread out over the rest of the day.

NOTE: Information herein is NOT intended to be taken as medical advice. No therapeutic or medical claims are either implied or made. DO NOT ALTER ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT, OR THE USE OF MEDICATIONS, WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF YOUR MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER. FDA regulations prohibit the use of therapeutic or medical claims in conjunction with the sale of any product not approved by the FDA.

Mary's Story - Mangosteen and Bone Density

by Mary Wolters

As a Medical Technologist with more than 52 years practice in the Clinical Laboratories of major medical centers in Chicago, Ann Arbor and Phoenix, I was initially skeptical of the numerous testimonials written by consumers of the whole-fruit puree of mangosteen. These self-reports often involved only subjective observations. I wanted to see quantifiable results measured on standardized instruments utilized by professional medical personnel. However, when my business partner (Lynn Leonard) experienced some remarkable lessening of her MS-related symptoms, I decided there might, indeed, be something to mangosteen and its xanthones. I began drinking mangosteen juice myself.

Back in 2003 my physician, Dr. Milissa Cooper, had prescribed Fosamax to increase my bone density. Both Dr. Cooper and I were concerned that I not develop the severe osteoporosis that had made both of my parents’ lives miserable, especially my father who suffered multiple fractures. Sadly, I developed painful muscle spasms—a known side-effect of Fosamax--and Dr. Cooper recommended I discontinue its use. In September 2006 I had another bone density test at my physician’s office. At that time my bone density measured -2.4.

In October 2007 I again had my bone density checked on the same machine in my physician’s office. The same technician conducted the test. When I went in for my test results I saw that Dr. Milissa Cooper looked very happy as she looked at my chart. “Your bone density has improved from -2.4 to -1..6! What have you been doing?”

My reply was just as enthusiastic. “No changes other than I continue to take the original mangosteen juice—2 ounces, 3 times each day with my meals!” Dr. Cooper then instructed me to “stay on that juice!”

When I got home I used a calculator to compute the numerical extent of my bone density improvement. I was delighted to see a 33% value for my improvement—much greater than the percentages reported for most of the pharmaceutical products.


Having a safe, natural and effective alternative that spares me the agony my parents suffered from osteoporosis is truly a God send. And there are no side-effects!

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!!
