Get through Menopause naturally.

Menopause can be a trying time, but natural help is available.  Hot flushes may be corrected by proper diet, exercise and Vitamin E supplements.  Try eating legumes such as lentils, peas and beans are beneficial (try organic or fresh as these are better for you.)  As a snack, seeds and nuts (especially sunflower seeds).  Foods that contain Vitamin B Complex, Iodine, Iron and calcium are good as is lecithin and seaweed.  Your diet should exclude caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol (greatly reduce), spicy foods, animal foods and deep water fish.

Vitamin supplements recommended:-  Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B5 (anti-stress), Vitamin B6 (reduces oedema), Vitamin C 1000mg, Vitamin E 400 i.u. Calcium twice daily and Magnesium.
Mineral supplements -:  Zinc, PBA
Other useful supplements: - Evening Primrose Oil, Probiotics (helps with hormonal balance), Kelp (contains iodine), lecithin before meals, and garlic.  Oats is a good nervine sedative.
Botanicals: - Lady’s Slipper (for anxiety and insomnia).  Sage (relieves hot flushes and is anti-hydrotic), fennel, chamomile (calmative), catnip, pulsatilla and valerian.

It is important to cleanse your liver, get plenty of exercise, drink plenty of clear fluids, minimise stress, get enough quality sleep, swim in the sea when you can, breathe deeply in fresh air, meditate daily, play soft music before you go to sleep and hot foot baths are good as this draws blood away from the head.  Warm baths – ensure they are not too hot, and relax for awhile in the warm water.

Relax into the situation and enjoy each day as it comes. 

Hungover effect from incorrect eating!

 

Did you know that eating the wrong type of food can also cause the same effects as a hangover? Having that nasty feeling does not mean you have necessarily consumed alcohol. A good way to get back on track, and feel better within 24 hours is to consume 3 - 4 cups of nettle tea throughout the day. A great blood purifier and cleansing herb.

 

 

Natural energy drink - Limitless

I received two great testimonies today of what XanGo's Limitless does for other people. 
Amanda said "Could not reply until I checked out the Limitless product, which I did yesterday, felt great all day and got so much done! Can one little sachet really do this, brilliant. Happy to endorse this at our next meeting"

 

Christine said "I drank one Limitless sachet on Monday morning at 6.30 am, I felt I was more levelled and had more sustained energy throughout the day.  This was more sustained energy than I usually feel on what is usually a very busy day for me.” 

My own personal experience of Limitless is similar to these ladies.  I took a sachet on Friday 7th November before rushing out to a meeting.  I knew I had a very busy day ahead.  Wow, I had such incredible sustained energy throughout the day, and felt a buzz of energy that was different to what I normally feel."

Limitless is a natural energy drink that will outlast any cup of coffee or retailed energy drink.  You will find you have sustained energy, without the peaks and dips that one usually feels during the day when consuming other products.  Limitless is good for your body, and used by marathon runners for natural endurance when they are competing.  Get in touch with me today to order yours!

Have a happy and healthy Christmas :)

Natural help for Psoriasis

Consistent and persistent long term natural treatment will provide the best and most positive results for Psoriasis!
Psoriasis is often triggered by prolonged stress, a traumatic event, food intolerance, liver congestion and vitamin B deficiency.   It is also linked to leaky gut and yeast fungal overgrowth.  In most cases the liver function is poor and is under stress.  Allergy testing is very useful to determine foods that you might have intolerance to.  An elimination or rotation diet is a great way to determine foods that may produce a reaction, therefore suspected foods are not consumed more frequently than every 4 – 7 days thus determining the effect they have on you and allowing the body to desensitize itself.

The first consideration is to focus on daily diet.
A strong recommendation is to remove wheat from the diet for a minimum of six months.
Also remove cow’s milk for a minimum of six months; there are a lot of great alternatives such as almond milk or goat’s milk.  My recommendation would be semi-skimmed goat’s milk.  It is the closet milk to mother’s milk which has soothing properties.  Consume food that is primarily alkaline in reaction.
If possible try detoxing and then a fast of vegetable juices for a few days.  This is recommended regularly.  XanGo has a great natural detox that cleans your liver and colon called Favao Detox.  See www.MyMangosteen.biz/PureWholeness for more information or get in touch with Catherine via email.

Foods that are good for you -  Raw vegetables – at least once daily.
A good variety of fresh food, increase fruit and vegetables daily.
Carrots, kale, figs, prunes, spinach, watercress and papaya.
Yellow foods very beneficial in the long term – carrots are very beneficial, butternut, avocados, bananas, papaya.  Soybeans.  High fibre – Brown rice, millet or buckwheat
Vegetable juices, Sarsaparilla, Dandelion coffee (this supports the liver) can be bought at most health food stores.
Natural probiotics yoghurt is a great daily addition to the diet which has many soothing benefits.   Salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies – consume fish at least twice a week.
Organic walnut or olive oil – drizzle over cooked food and add to salads.
Lean chicken
Drink lots of water and fluids.


Foods to avoid -  Wheat and gluten
Citrus fruits and Tomatoes
Red meats (including sausages, port, smoked meats)
Saturated and hydrogenated fats (margarine and fried foods)
Sweets.  Avoid Alcohol as much as possible, especially wine and cider
Pastry, Vinegar and Carbonated beverages.
Full fat dairy products, Tinned fish and meats
Coffee replace with Dandelion coffee which supports the liver
Cocoa and chocolate (pure raw chocolate is better and not as acidic

Apply Bergamot oil  or Vitamin A oil to lesions, followed by natural sunlight is best.

Mangosteen (XanGo Juice) has great health properties, and has been known to soothe this condition with remarkable results!  For more information please get in touch with Catherine and I will send you more information.

Mangosteen and the Ebola Virus

“HSPA5 is an essential host factor for the Ebola virus. (It's been identified as an ebolavirus-associated host protein.) As it turns out, EGCG seems to inhibit HSPA5, the chaperone protein essential for Ebola virus infection. Both in vitro ...and in vivo gene targeting impaired viral replication and protected animals in a lethal infection model.“

I would like to emphasise that mangosteen juice will not offer protection against Ebola, but it is good to be armed with such a powerful natural inhibitor. Mangosteen is a great health drink, and one that the whole family can enjoy.

Facts about XanGo Juice

What is XANGO Juice?
XANGO Juice is the original mangosteen dietary supplement that captures the refreshing, sweet, tangy flavor and natural color of the mangosteen fruit. XANGO Juice’s proprietary, puree formula uses the whole mangosteen fruit, from its dark, reddish purple nutrient-dense rind to the white fleshy pulp – through which all of the mangosteen health benefits are delivered as nature intended.

What are xanthones?
While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly potent antioxidant power of xanthones. Xanthones are powerful phytonutrients, naturally occurring nutrients found in plants, that have won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers. Major medical institutions around the world continue to study xanthones for their potential to support long-term health.

Why the name XANGO?
XANGO derives its name from two words: XAN from xanthones and GO from mangosteen.

Why hasn’t a mangosteen dietary supplement been brought to market before XANGO Juice?
Many researchers around the world have wondered this same thing. The mangosteen and its xanthone-rich pericarp, or rind, have been used traditionally for thousands of years, and xanthones have been the subject of extensive positive scientific research. But until Joe Morton and the other founders of XANGO took the steps necessary to bring this fruit and its benefits to the world, no one else saw the vision. XANGO is the original, a true category creator.

Is XANGO Juice approved by the FDA?
As a dietary supplement, XANGO Juice is a food. While foods do not need FDA approval prior to introduction into the market, XANGO Juice is subject to existing food and dietary supplement laws, such as the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, dietary supplement good manufacturing practices, and adverse event reporting requirements. As is required by law, XANGO has established the safety and purity of all its ingredients through independent laboratory testing prior to launching XANGO Juice.

Where does the mangosteen fruit come from?
Native to Southeast Asia and the national fruit of Thailand, the mangosteen is a delicate fruit that only grows under perfect conditions. Enthusiasts of the mangosteen have attempted to grow it elsewhere, but have experienced limited success in Australia and small pockets of South America and the Caribbean.

Is the harvesting of the mangosteen fruit environmentally friendly?
Fortunately, the mangosteen has its own natural defense against pests that includes a yellow latex that it excretes to smother any predators. Because of this, no pesticides are used on the crop that XANGO cultivates for its products. Likewise, XANGO chooses not to use other chemical treatments during the harvest.

What are the ingredients in XANGO Juice?
Rich in xanthones, the mangosteen pericarp helps to provide the nutrient power found in XANGO Juice while the pulp adds incredible flavor. XANGO Juice is made from a puree of the whole fruit that includes the rind, pulp and seeds. A few additional natural fruit juices are blended, according to a proprietary formula, to round off the flavor of the mangosteen rind and create XANGO Juice’s unique taste.

Is the amount of xanthones per bottle standardized?
XANGO Juice is a natural blend of the whole mangosteen fruit with no extracts. Because XANGO delivers whole fruit benefits, there are some slight variations from batch to batch due to the natural variations in the fruit.

Why does it seem that some bottles have more pericarp than others?
The pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is rich in natural xanthones. Even when pureed, the pericarp elements remain a solid suspended in liquid. Every bottle contains the same XANGO formula, but because settling occurs, some bottles will seem to contain more solids. Simply shake vigorously before serving.

How much mangosteen is in XANGO Juice?
The amount of mangosteen in XANGO Juice is part of our proprietary formula. However, it is the number one ingredient in XANGO Juice. The mangosteen fruit itself contains 39 known xanthones and the majority of those are in the pericarp of the fruit. At this point in time, we are the only company to use the entire mangosteen fruit, including the nutrient-rich rind known as the pericarp, in a beverage.

What is the recommended intake of XANGO Juice?
While our label says 1–3 ounces daily, studies show 1-3 ounces taken 2-3 times daily proves optimal for best benefits. However, many people choose to vary from this amount, tailoring consumption to their personal preferences.

Should I continue taking vitamins and minerals if I drink XANGO Juice regularly?
Absolutely. As part of our XANGO product offering, XANGO 3SIXTY5™ multivitamin mineral supplement works synergistically with your daily consumption of XANGO Juice to offer complete daily nutrition.

Is it safe to take XANGO Juice with medications?
There are no known contraindications with XANGO Juice and medications. However, XANGO Juice is a dietary supplement and if you are consuming any medications or have a known medical condition it is best to consult with your health care provider or pharmacist before consuming XANGO Juice.

Is XANGO Juice safe for everyone?
Yes. XANGO Juice is made from the whole-fruit purée of the mangosteen fruit. The whole mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana) contains nature’s highest concentration of beneficial xanthones as well as high amounts of beneficial natural plant compounds called phytonutrients. Responsible for the pigmentation in botanicals, phytonutrients contain high amounts of antioxidants that support good health. XANGO Juice meetsthe highest safety and manufacturing standards and has been tested to be safe for anyone ages 2 to 90 years old. Independent testing by Consumer Labs has also verified XANGO Juice as free from banned substances and suitable for all level of athletes. The amount of XANGO Juice consumed may vary for the body size of a person, and you should always check with a trusted physician before beginning any new dietary program.

How safe is the production of XANGO Juice?
We have a strategic production partnership with an ISO 9001-certified food-and-beverage-industry giant. Before you consume XANGO Juice it goes through more than 220 quality tests to ensure it meets the highest standards of cleanliness and quality in the world.

Is XANGO Juice pasteurized or heat processed?
Yes. Government regulations require either pasteurization for the safety of consumers or a warning label of possible microbial contamination in products that are not pasteurized. Extensive research reveals that these processes do not affect the xanthone content or efficacy in XANGO Juice, largely because the mangosteen is one of a select number of fruits that retains its nutritional value under heat.

Are there any preservatives in XANGO Juice?
Sodium benzoate is added to ensure the safety of XANGO. Sodium benzoate carries the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) designation by the FDA. It is used as an antimicrobial agent in very small amounts, and is added as part of the world-recognized Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in food and beverage processing.

Is XANGO Juice organic?
XANGO Juice is not certified organic; however, mangosteen used in XANGO Juice is pesticide-free. Also, XANGO Juice is unique as it uses a puree of the whole mangosteen fruit rather than a concentrate of the "queen of fruits."

What is the shelf life of XANGO Juice?
While XANGO Juice boasts a shelf life of two years in an unopened bottle, it is always preferable to check the "Best by" date on the bottom of each bottle. Once opened, the bottle should be refrigerated and consumed within 30 days.

What kinds of sugars are used in XANGO Juice?
There are no added sugars in XANGO Juice, only naturally occurring fructose.

Does XANGO Juice contain potassium?

Information about Bioflavonoids in XANGO Juice

What are Bioflavonoids?
Bioflavonoids, also known simply as flavonoids, are found throughout the mangosteen. Flavonoids are compounds responsible for the coloring in fruits, vegetables and herbs. They are also responsible for major health benefits and antioxidant properties. Catechins and Proanthocyanidins are two exciting bioflavonoids and happen to be found in significant amounts in the whole mangosteen fruit.

What are Catechins?
Catechins are flavonoid phytochemical compounds. Due to their potent antioxidant capabilities, catechins—often referred to as "tea flavonoids"—are being studied by scientists worldwide. In experimental models, catechins show a wide range of beneficial effects, including the maintenance of healthy cells and cardiovascular systems.

What are Proanthocyanidins?
Proanthocyanidins are antioxidant flavonoids that help in the stabilization of collagen and elastin—two critical proteins in the connective tissues that support organs, joints, blood vessels and muscle. Proanthocyanidins have been shown to support vascular health.

Mangosteen for cancer

There are many independent studies that have found mangosteen to be helpful for cancer patients, and the results are remarkable! Dr Amod Tootla (world renowned cancer specialist) tested mangosteen on over 1,800 of his patients, all of whom returned remarking at the surprisingly positive results they experienced. If you would like to do your own research I suggest you go to www.pubmed.gov and type "mangosteen" in your search and then separately "xanthones". A lot of the studies are centred on varying forms of cancer. This link I have attached here relates to breast cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24894151
