Provided you're one of those who still get the newspaper delivered to your doorstep in the morning, you're used to seeing some pretty grim news on a consistent basis. Any discernable silver lining grows harder and harder to see. At XanGo, we're working hard to make it easier to see that silver lining.

While we acknowledge that benefits are getting cut and healthcare costs are increasing, we'd rather things weren't this way — for starters, here's one thing we intend to do about it.

XanGo, with the assistance of MillerWade National, wants to give you an alternative. Much as XanGo has long been the alternative to the 9-5 desk job, MillerWade is a new way of offering insurance benefits to the active network marketer. No traditional job? No problem. MillerWade isn't exactly a traditional insurance agency, either.

For instance, if you have a bad job you're currently holding onto simply because you want the benefits that are attached to it, this is a way for you to leave the job without leaving the insurance benefits that come with it behind. What's more, it frees you up to working even harder at your XanGo business. Talk about your win-win situations!

Now you can build your business knowing that XanGo helps offer full major medical benefits that are competitively priced (saving you as much as 30%-50% over traditional group healthcare plans). You can be free to build your dream of financial freedom while you protect your family, the way it should be. That's some good news, right? We tend to think so.

The Holistic Economy: Paul Zane Pilzer and Wellness

By Daryl Kulak

The Holistic Economy: Paul Zane Pilzer and Wellness: 

Paul Zane Pilzer's book "The Wellness Revolution - How to Make a Fortune in the Next Trillion Dollar Industry" is a page-turner. When I first bought this book, shortly after it came out in 2003, I literally didn't go to bed until I had read the whole thing.

This book changed my life.

For one thing, it changed my approach to health insurance. Pilzer introduced me to the Health Savings Account (then called the Medical Savings Account) and actually motivated me to write my own book on the HSA.

As Pilzer says, the HSA changes everything. It puts the day-to-day decisions of your healthcare back into your lap. Not with the insurance company."

The Commercial Hype on Anti-Oxidant ORAC Values

As many of you may know, the race is on for the best superfood out there. It's been heating up over the last few years with many more exotic fruits and juices that most of us have never heard of before. Well here's one piece of advice right from the get go: DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND MAKE AN EDUCATED NOT EMOTIONAL DECISION!

All the talk these days is to measure up and beat the "other guys". Words like anti-oxidants, beta mangostin, alpha mangostin, phyto-nutrients, ORAC values and comparison charts. "We have more than the other guys...". Suddenly chocolate is healthy again and many companies are praising their newest water creation with added this and added that. People, get real. How processed is your product? How much sugar is in it? Is it reconstituted or made from extracts? How much real whole food is in the product they are claiming to be the next best thing? Well, they have to catch up with these new words in their ads to stop loosing market shares in the exploding wellness boom ("The Wellness Revolution", by Paul Zane Pilzer). People are becoming more and more critical, educated and demand high quality natural products in nutrition, skin care, or anything they use and especially what they put in or on their bodies.

The issue with the anti-oxidants though, has reached high distortion. Everyone is measuring up and making decisions based on ORAC levels. Well think again. It's only one part of the story. Nature and our bodies are a bit more complex than that. Otherwise we could just keep taking pharmaceuticals and swallow a "get young & beautiful" pill if everything were that easy. So allow me to let you in on a little secret: 

ORAC alone says only very little about the power of the mangosteen or any other food for that matter. It's only one part of the picture. And while I'm at it, there is no other natural source in the world that has more benefits to offer in one single food than the mangosteen whole fruit. What's the whole "trick"? XANTHONES make the whole difference and they happen to be propriotory to the mangosteen. Also: C-RP (C-Reactive Protein) is far more important than ORAC. ORAC is an easily manipulated number. The value that is perceived to demonstrate the power of an anti-oxidant is seriously misleading. Dr. Stone addressed this anti-oxidant ORAC number beautifully. He said simply put:

"The number of different anti-oxidants is what is really important. Imagine a Free Radical as a puzzle-piece shape. You must have the right anti-oxidant puzzle-piece to complete it and have it exit the body. No single anti-oxidant can address all free radicals. That means ORAC means very little in the human body. The power of the mangosteen anti-oxidants is that there are over 40 different configurations to help complete and rid the body of a multitude of different free radicals." --Dr. Robert Stone, D.O.

There was also a letter of apology issued by Brunswick Labs for the findings on ORAC that were used to lead people to believe that one product was better than another.

To overcome this objection....it is a simple matter of education on what is really important. While ORAC scores can be and are chemically altered to reach 100,000 for competitive commercial reasons, that does NOT translate to the effect in the human body. The human body absorbs NATURAL WHOLE FOOD supplements many times over anything chemically synthesized. Refer to the 202 biological activities by Dr. Duke and ask: "Where is the list for the other supplement you are looking at? This list only pertains to WHOLE FOOD MANGOSTEEN."

Tips:


For a complete list of the 202 benefits of the xanthones from the mangosteen, see Dr. Duke's list .

Also see the article by Dr. Vaughn Johnson on why everyone should do a C-RP test when doing their next blood work.

If you think the Mayo clinic is a trust worthy source of evaluating anything in the field of health, you might want to check out the article in Martha Stuart's "Living" magazine on why for the first time a fruit (the mangosteen ) is being tested on humans on a huge scale.

If you still can't get enough, check out the studies on mangosteen and xanthones in the National Library of Medicine. 

Could a Simple, Inexpensive Test Save Your Life?

If you’re one of the millions of people who have put aside any concerns of having a heart attack because your cholesterol levels are good, then it is time to think again. Contrary to all of the positive reports on advances in health care and medical research, cardiovascular disease continues to top the list of American killers. According to statistics, in this year alone 1.2 million people, unaware of any heart problems, will have heart attacks and 500,000 will result in death.

A Simple Test Reveals the Red flags of Heart Disease

• A simple blood test called CRP could detect inflammation of the coronary arteries, which might lead to a heart attack. 
• The test could be a valuable preventative against serious damage to the heart. 
• The test measures C-reactive protein; a protein found in our bodies that signals responses to any forms of inflammation.

Reading the Test Results

• Three or higher--higher bracket for heart disease. 
• One to three--moderate risk for heart disease. 
• A reading below one--lower risk range for heart disease.

CRP Test Proves to be Successful

Regina Allen, a woman in her mid-30s, went for a CRP test after her EKG and cholesterol tests came back normal, despite continuing chest pains and feelings of lethargy. The test showed inflammation and damage to the heart.

Allen’s doctor restricted her diet to solely fruits and vegetables to lower the inflammation. After the inflammation was under control, she gradually added fats, grains and proteins to her diet. Allen then went for another CRP test after following the diet for three weeks and found her inflammation levels had been cut in half.

Conflicting Opinions on the CRP Test

Researchers said that inflammation was the dangerous trigger that set off heart attacks. Some doctors were opposed to the tests because of their resistance to accept new knowledge. Experts believed this resistance was derived from the longtime beliefs that artery-blocking fats could be found on angiograms or other types of heart tests. However, research has shown that only 15 percent of heart attacks were the result of blockages, while an overwhelming 85 percent were caused by inflammation and blockage, which weren’t picked up on tests such as angiograms and stress tests.

Experts recommended that one way to reduce your chances of a heart attack was by making changes to your diet, such as avoiding high calories and saturated fats, then finding the underlying cause of the problem and searching for treatment options.

Mangosteen is here to stay - Mayo Clinic begins first large scale human trial

Studying the Next Super Food

Martha Stewart's "Living" Magazine


Click here to see/download full article in Martha Stewarts Living Magazine 

Like it or not, theMangosteen is coming full throttle. Only 3% of Americans have heard about it and most have no clue why it is THE most important discovery in the decade. Ever heard of xanthones ? I didn't either four years ago. Besides the 200+ scientifically proven health benefits (try that with any other juice) it has a few things anyone should take a closer look at (see 1712 research papers from around the world and the past 100 years) - here are just a few:

Most powerful natural anti-inflammatory known to man

Anti-tumor benefits

Anti-fungal, -bacterial, -viral

Cox-II inhibitor (pain)

Balances pH values in our bodies

Anti-histamine properties (allergies)

etc., etc. see searchable data bank on a link at bottom.

Inflammation is the main cause of most dreadful and deadly diseases known to man. The fatal five are cancer, diabetes (rising), heart attack, stroke and lung disease. No wonder the pharma-industry is making billions on all the stuff that doesn't get rid of the problem just makes you dependent on it just to survive. so how awesome would it be to have a zero side effects all natural great tasting juice that is a powerful anti-inflammatory?!? Hello nutritionists and gym-nuts!

It could be so simple - just know your body and know your food. And stop eating CRAP!

Mangosteen is one of the BEST crayons in your box - and everyone should have it. The Mangosteen is not just another fad. It will be the most talked about fruit of the decade - call me in 5 years - it will be on everyone's table. Dr. Brent A. Bauer from the famous Mayo clinic is now starting their first large scale human trial with the Mangosteen because of the millions of people benefiting from it and not having to take their medicines any more. I don't see that happening with Acai or any of the other juices that are jumping the band wagon of the huge success the mangosteen is having. 

Just to give you an idea. It took Microsoft 13 years to make a billion in sales. It took Ebay six years. The fastest growing company in the history of man. It took Xango the same six years, by word of mouth only!!! to reach one billion in sales. Ask any business person, they will tell you that is unheard of. In this blog I will just speak of the awe-inspiring health benefits and not even touch on the business opportunity involved. The Wellness Revolution (by Paul Zane Pilzer) is the future trillion dollar business. Not to mention Xango Goodnessand the 7% worldwide sales that this company donates to "Operation Kids". And not to mention the meal packs that are available for all of us to donate to children in need all around the world. Most of us are already good at helping ourselves - here we have the built in automatic of helping others at the same time.

What I'm trying to emphasize with the passage above is that you can be skeptical until the cows come home, it's just procrastinating. Have all the objections you want - This fruit juice is working and helping millions around the world. Why not try it for yourself and help all your loved ones and friends with an opportunity to change their health and their life to the better. You haveNOTHING to loose and all to gain.

I could go on for hours. It is safe for me to share with you that I lost my life-long allergies and asthma three years ago when I started drinking this multi-functional juice. And trust me, I have tried every crappy drug on the planet trying to get rid of it. Our children haven't been even close to getting sick since they drink the mangosteen juice. Besides the extraordinary blessing, what a huge money and tiiiiiime-saver!!!

Check it out and see what you think. Make an educated decision not an emotional gut feeling excuse. And do yourself a favor, don't think your doctor, nutritionist or anyone can give you good advice on this topic. 97% of the population has never even heard of the mangosteen. That would be like asking a poor man for advice to tell you how to get rich.

See for yourself. Do your home work. I'd be delighted to point you to many more resources. Your feedback would really mean a lot to us. feel free to send us an email or comment on this healthy cooking blog. I hope to grow an archive of exciting knowledge on health and whole foods that will serve all of our friends and anyone that cares.

Take a three minute journey and see for yourself. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Enjoy ;-)

Did you know...? 

Thanks and be well,

Reduce Your Sugar Intake and Lose Weight

How to Reduce Sugar Intake

By eHow Health Editor

On average each American consumes over 152 pounds of sugar annually. Some studies show links between a high sugar intake and increased risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature aging. If you would like to take some simple measures to reduce your sugar intake, follow the steps below.

Instructions

Step 1

Know where to look for sugar. Sugar likes to hide in many of your store-bought products by using aliases in the ingredient list. Sugar may be referred to as sucrose, glucose, fructose, dextrose, lactose, maltose and corn syrup. If any of these ingredients are listed in the first three to four words of the list, you can count on a high sugar content.

Step 2

Cut down slowly by giving yourself a daily quota of sugar. Fill the daily quota with the foods that matter most to you. If you gradually decrease your intake, you will lessen the craving and the amount of sugar it takes to satisfy the craving.

Step 3

Buy sugar-free brands of your favorite foods. In recent years, more items have become available in a sugar-free form, even chocolate, candies and ready-to-bake cookies.

Step 4

Convert to diet sodas, which can eliminate 39 grams of sugar per can.

Step 5

Use artificial sweeteners in coffee and teas. Sugar substitutes can now be purchased in bulk for recipes that call for sugar or brown sugar.

Step 6

Spice up coffee with cinnamon before brewing, top cereals with fresh fruit, and add vanilla to foods with reduced sugar. Use some of the natural sweeteners to add flavor to your drinks and foods.

Step 7

Do not skip meals. This can lower your blood sugar levels, which cause you to crave that sugar for a quick fix. This also can lead to increased health risks for hypoglycemia and diabetes.

Tips & Warnings

1-Read the labels. Sugars can hide in chewing gum, cough syrups and other processed foods.

2-Low-fat does not mean low sugar content or sugar-free. Read the labels as many times the low-fat option contains more sugar than the regular fat content items.

3-High sugar intake can also lead to tooth decay.
