All Mangosteen Juices Are NOT Created Equal - Dr. Vaughn Johnson

Here is the summary of the incredible presentation that Dr. Vaughn Johnson, M.D. recently did in Seattle. He conducted a study in his clinic with 47 patients to see whether their C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) numbers would be affected by introducing the Original (XANGO) Mangosteen Juice to their diets. CRP measures the level of inflammation (at the cellular DNA level) in the body.

Inflammation is all over the news. In fact, there was a front page article on MSN about a large study that seemed to show that people who were taking aspirin actually lived longer. Of course aspirin is an anti-inflammatory but like most drugs has numerous side effects.

Many of you may also have seen the video from PBS where they specifically discussed how this hs-CRP test was becoming a major marker for heart disease. To view a preview of the PBS video click here www.mymangosteen.com/pbs, if you have not yet viewed it!

Dr. Johnson Presentation of 4/3/07


Dr. Johnson did a clinical trial on the effect of Original (XANGO) Mangosteen juice on a marker for systemic inflammation; Highly Sensitive C- Reactive Protein (hs-crp). A level of 1.0 to 3.0 is considered normal. Greater than 3.0 is considered high risk.

Method:

Take blood samples from 47 patients. Determine hs-CRP Levels.
Administer 2 Oz of Original mangosteen juice per day. (1 in AM, 1 in PM)
Continue for 30 days.
Take blood samples and measure hs-CRP again.
Two ounces was selected as the dose so that two bottles would last one month.

Results: All of the 38 patients who returned for the follow up test lowered their hs-CRP levels into the normal range. 9 patients did not return for their follow up test. The following table lists typical results.

Sample #........Initial........30 Days

1.......................55.0.............2.7
2.......................26.0.............1.3
3.......................12.6.............1.8
4.......................8.4...............2.2
5.......................6.8...............1.1


Comments: The above five samples were selected for illustration purposes because after the completion of the test all of these individuals stopped taking the Original (XANGO) Mangosteen and took other mangosteen based products instead.

Other mangosteen products: All five returned to their initial high risk CRP levels after using the other mangosteen products. In fact, sample 2 increased to 28, i.e. two points above the initial value. Dr. Johnson then put each of these patients back on Original Mangosteen juice and all of the CRP numbers came back down.

Dr. Johnson concluded that all mangosteen supplements are not created equal and that the whole fruit puree, Original (XANGO) Mangosteen formula produced the results he has witnessed due to the synergy of all of the 43+ Xanthones and other components working together. All of the other products had "extracts" and not the whole fruit only found in the Original Mangosteen Juice!

Just a suggestion - the next time you have your physical examination and blood work, ASK FOR A CRP (Blood Test) TEST!!!!
