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!

Testimonial - Mangosteen and Allergies


Mangosteen and Allergies , Debilitating Headaches, Repeated Sinus Infections
From Louis A., M.D. (M.D.,Yale University School of Medicine; M.P.A., Harvard University; Former Faculty Member of Harvard Medical School).

"I am sending you this e-mail to inform you of what I consider to be a truly remarkable therapeutic response from using Mangosteen.
As a physician who trained at the Yale University School of Medicine and is a former member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, I have been somewhat skeptical of the health claims of many nutritional supplements.
Unlike most other physicians, however, I was always aware of the tremendous importance of nutrition as a factor in many of the most common illnesses, and I pursued a Master of Public Health degree at Harvard University in order to learn more about nutrition and the role of alternative treatments in maintaining optimal health.
I have always been open to using natural non-toxic treatments, so when I was contacted by a colleague about Mangosteen and the fact that it contained xanthones, I was very intrigued, because I had been aware of the fact that St. John's Wort, a popular antidepressant in Europe, contained xanthones which were in part felt to be responsible for its mood-elevating and energizing effects.
For years I suffered from a medical disorder known as allergic rhinitis which resulted in debilitating headaches, repeat sinus infections and required treatment with antibiotics. I had consulted with several ENT and Allergy specialists and was prescribed a variety of antihistaminic agents (Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Nasacort, Flonase) with only marginal relief of my symptoms. I decided to try Mangosteen for my allergy symptoms after I reviewed some scientific literature and was surprised to discover robust evidence that the xanthones in garcinia mangostana L. actually inhibited histamine release and also reduced prostaglandin E-2 synthesis which is known to mediate allergic reactions in the human body.
To my utter amazement, I can bear witness to the fact that within 2 days of ingesting only one ounce of Mangosteen twice a day I had almost complete resolution of my allergic symptoms and was able to discontinue all of my antihistaminic medications.

Feeling that this was "too good to be true" I then initiated my own washout protocol by stopping the Mangosteen for one day. To my astonishment, the following day I was re-introduced to my former allergy symptoms of pounding headaches, congestion, and sneezing, which again resolved after restarting the Mangosteen Juice. It is exremely gratifying to know that there is strong scientific proof for the health benefits I experienced with Mangosteen.
The validation of this product by identifying the scientific role of xanthones allows me to refute the many skeptics who are biased against the use of all natural non-toxic treatments for medical illnesses and would rather worship at the alter of Big Pharma and buy into the medical establishment's view that all we need are stronger medications to vanquish all the world's diseases, notwithstanding the fact that the Institute of Medicine reports that adverse reactions to medications kill at least 108,000 people a year.
Throughout my medical career I have been disheartened to observe that in the U.S. we have more medicines but less health and I am immensely grateful that there exists a natural product such as Mangosteen which is health enhancing and non-toxic."
