Revealed! The Secrets of Mangosteen
Do you spend at least some time in your day thinking about your health or that of a loved one? Do you also find the subject is frustrating, mainly because there is a lot of confusing and sometimes contradictory information out there? You are not alone! My wife and I have been involved with complimentary health care for 10 years and we are sometimes confused too! So are many of our friends and clients. So, I want to share with you, a very pleasant surprise I received a few months ago. I was chatting to an acquaintance who is a homeopathic doctor and the subject got on to food supplements. I believe strongly that "you are what you eat" and Hippocrates centuries ago said "Let food be your medicine.." My friend had been reading some laboratory research on the powerful benefits of a fruit called the Mangosteen. (No, I had not heard of it either!) Called the "Queen of Fruits" where it originally grew in Southeast Asia, it is prized and valued above all others. Mangosteen juice is rich in the super anti-oxidant called 'xanthones'. This juice has been the subject of extensive scientific research for over 30 years and in the last 15 years there have been more than 50 scientific journal articles published on the subject. Why? Because xanthones have been shown to kill or stop the spreading of viruses fungi, bacteria, and free radicals which are strongly associated with cancer. Another area of research has shown how xanthones inhibit the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) one of the causes of atherosclerosis (furring up of the arteries) and heart attacks. Add to that, the mangosteen juice has been shown to help promote healing with diseases such as diabetes, premature aging, arthritis, (the anti-inflammatory activities of natural xanthones are significant)asthma, MS, the list goes on and on. Now, like you I am sure, we are all skeptical about claims of cure-all potions so I did some more research. I was impressed! The available research is abundant and furthermore that many doctors are recommending this juice to their patients. One such, Dr. J. Frederick Templeman, M.D. is quoted as saying "Studies are showing that xanthones have positive effects on nearly all of the body's systems". He has stopped prescribing a number of drugs as mangosteen has been more effective. Dr Templeman goes on "All drugs are potentially dangerous. Food by comparison is absolutely safe". I was confident enough now to try this juice. Firstly I have to say it is delicious! And it is entirely natural, with no additives. My wife and I have been taking it regularly for 3 months now and I can report we have stopped taking other expensive supplements, just regular daily drinks of mangosteen. Our general health levels have increased and my joint aches and pains are much reduced. My wife agrees, the hot flushes she was experiencing have virtually disappeared. If you are serious about your health, you should look into mangosteen juice for yourself and your loved ones. Remember, what you do today is going to affect you tomorrow. I strongly recommend you begin consuming this xanthone rich, mangosteen juice NOW! � Barry Dench is a qualified electrical engineer, who in 1996 applied his knowledge of magnetism to research the effects of magnetic fields on the biological body.

There are more supplements available than I would care to count and keep track of. So what is the biggest difference between all the different supplements? In my world you can divide all supplements into two categories: Vitamin B6 - What Do We Need It For? Vitamin B6 plays a facilitating role in the immune system and the growth of new cells. It also assists the body in the processing of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. And do you know that Vitamin B6 can help improve your disposition and balance your mood swings? Vitamin B6 also helps balance the sodium and potassium in your body-making sure the body utilizes these two minerals effectively. Experts also concur that this vitamin has cancer-fighting properties. Great sources of Vitamin B6 are brewer's yeast, eggs, chicken, carrots, fish, liver, kidneys, peas, wheat germ, and walnuts. Vitamin B6 Deficiency Irritability, nervousness and insomnia as well as general weakness, and skin problems go hand-in-hand with Vitamin B6 deficiency. Symptoms may include unhealthy looking nails, an inflamed tongue, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Recommended Vitamin B6 Dosage The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 2 mg per day. Take note, an overdose of 2,000 mg per day, may cause neurological damage. In particular, people on Parkinson's disease medication should be very careful with taking Vitamin B6 as it may counteract the medication. Vitamin B6 is best taken with the rest of the B complex group vitamins, with Vitamin C and most major minerals such as sodium, potassium, and zinc. Aside from the fact that Vitamin B6 is easily flushed by the body in the urine, it is also extremely sensitive to sunlight, cooking and processing. Cortisone is this vitamin's worst enemy as it tends to cancel off the vitamin's benefits. The Most Researched Performance Enhancing Nutritional Supplement Creatine ?
