Mangosteen: A Powerful Anti-Inflammatory

The mangosteen, while definitely one of the most powerful natural antioxidants yet discovered, contains a host of other benefits that in some ways are even more exciting.
The mangosteen's anti-inflammatory xanthones are probably responsible for providing more immediate relief than any other phytonutrients found in the fruit.
Dr. Kenneth J. Finsand has this to say:
"This is probably the most famous use of all the qualities found in the mangosteen: it is by far the most powerful anti-inflammatory I have ever seen in 30 years of practice. Research has proven this to be true, along with folk medicine history."
Dr. Frederic Templeman tells us that the anti-inflammatory properties of mangosteen have been compared in strength to one of the most potent anti-inflammatory prescription drugs, Dexamethasone. In his words, "this drug knocks the socks off Vioxx in terms of potency." The following excerpt taken from the audio "The Miracle Mangosteen" is available at http://www.mangosteentools.com.
[NOTE: Since making the above statement about Vioxx (Dexamethasone), that drug was pulled from the market as of September 30, 2004, due to its possible adverse side effects, see below.]

Just look at this list of possible adverse side effects from the above mentioned drug (Dexamethasone)!
- upset stomach
- stomach irritation
- vomiting
- headache
- dizziness
- insomnia
- restlessness
- depression
- anxiety
- acne
- increased hair growth
- easy bruising
- irregular or absent menstrual periods
If you experience any of the following symptoms when using prescriptions, call your doctor immediately:
- skin rash
- edema (swollen face, lower legs, or ankles)
- vision problems
- persistent cold or infection
- muscle weakness
- black or bloody stool
The Mangosteen has NONE of those side effects!

Do you realize what this means?
Inflammation plays a huge role in an incredible array of common ailments:
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Heart attack
- Headache
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Circulatory Impairment
- any kind of infection
- and many more
While inflammation can affect all tissues in the body, it is the primary mechanism underpinning diseases which attack muscles, joints and connective tissue.

Inflammation is the PRIMARY cause of PAIN!


What are the qualities of an ideal health supplement?
- Effective, it works!
- Safe, no adverse side affects
- No contraindications with medications
- Prevention
- Has broad applications
Take a closer look and you will find that the mangosteen measures up in ALL categories.


How Safe is Mangosteen?

Toxicity studies were done in the laboratory with rats, using the human equivalent of 3 liters of mangosteen juice per day, with no adverse behavioral or tissue effects noted.
Also, there are no historical records of any folk medicine warnings after centuries of medicinal use of the plant in SouthEast Asia.
It is always recommended that you consult your physician, if you have a known medical condition or allergy before using any food supplement. Mangosteen is safe for use by children and adults under almost any condition.
