Question: Hi,

Can you tell me how your Absolute Mangosteen compares to Xango’s mangosteen juice re: effectiveness.  I have taken Xango’s for many years but it is very expensive, so I am shopping for something new.  I have fibromyalgia, pre-diabetes & hypothyroidism.

Thank you for your help,

Susie

Answer: Susie,

Mangosteen Elixir may be better for you. After 22 years of practice , I will have to say that, there is more going on within you then this or any other single product will handle. There is help though (see below).

This link will take you to all the posts I’ve written that relate to Xango: http://caoh.com/liquid-vitamin-blog/index.php?s=xango
This post may be the most specific to your question, but please go through all of them (above): http://caoh.com/liquid-vitamin-blog/xango-or-absolute-mangosteen-absolute-mangosteen-wins-again/

If you really want the Rolls Royce treatment, I offer a distance patient program where I can will help you with the (fibromyalgia, pre-diabetes & hypothyroidism). These conditions are not hard to treat, we just need to pinpoint the underlying deficiencies or excesses. If you want help to design a customized program that will get you back to where you were when you were at your best, I’m here to help.

To Dr. Ettinger,

Almost two years ago I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). My energy level was extremely low and I had lost interest in doing the things I had previously enjoyed, as well as everyday necessary work. I discontinued my volunteer work at my church and my country western dancing. I had to literally drag myself to the gym to curb my increasing weight.

Today I am back dancing. In fact, I am taking another type of dance class weekly. I am scheduled to resume my volunteer work and have plans to start a new outdoor hobby. My workouts at the gym have returned to being fun, re-energizing and feeling positive and healthy.

My outlook on life, myself and my future have changed so dramatically I can’t believe it’s me. It’s like I found the old me again and I am certain I can attribute all this to you and your guidance.

Sincerely,
C.W.

WEDNESDAY, April 28 (HealthDay News) — A new study has identified vitamin E, also known a d-alpha tocopherol, as a viable treatment that can provide relief for many of the estimated 10 million Americans who have the most common chronic liver disease.

“This clearly shows that vitamin E is effective for treatment of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty infiltration of the liver) who don’t have active diabetes,” said study author Dr. Arun J. Sanyal, chairman of the division of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at Virginia Commonwealth University. A report on the trial is published in the April 28 online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

The 96-week study included 247 adults with the condition, none of whom had diabetes. Some patients were given 30 milligrams a day of Actos, some were given 800 International Units of vitamin E daily and others were given a placebo. A significant rate of improvement in markers of the disease, such as inflammation, was seen in 43 percent of those getting vitamin E, compared to 19 percent of those getting placebo. Similar improvement was seen in 34 percent of those getting Actos, compared to 19 percent of those getting placebo, a difference that was not statistically significant.

Actos might be a viable treatment for some people with fatty liver disease, but the study found its use was associated with significant weight gain that continued throughout the study, Sanyal said.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one cause of fatty liver changes, when fat is deposited (steatosis) in the liver when this is not due to excessive alcohol use. It is related to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, and may respond to treatments originally developed for other insulin-resistant states (e.g. diabetes mellitus type 2), such as weight loss, metformin and thiazolidinediones.^[1]

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most extreme form of NAFLD, which is regarded as a major cause of cirrhosis of the liver of unknown cause.^[2]

Hello Dr E!

Thanks, for your email. I am currently in the process of finding alternative methods for managing my diabetes without using pills. I am taking insulin, due to the fact that I have had too many bad reactions to the oral meds. I also use supplements, like vitamin E, Omega 3, L-Carnitine & CoQ10. But, I sometimes feel that I’m swallowing pills all day long. I feel these supplements have helped me, but since I added the Coral Calcium, I feel so much better.

The Coral Calcium gives me so much energy in the morning, and all day long. I get a lot done during the day at home and at work….

FRIDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) — People with type 2 diabetes can expect to suffer from fatal and non-fatal heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events about 15 years earlier than non-diabetics, a new study shows.

“The rates are consistently higher,” said lead researcher Dr. Gillian Booth, an adjunct scientist at the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, Canada.

Her team published its findings in the July 1 issue of The Lancet.

Q: Ok, here is a specific question. Stated in the literature of Goji, it says that is can be beneficial for people with the onset of diabetes. Will it lower blood sugar in someone who has had diabetes for a while and is taking medication? And what are the long term benefits?

This information is not specific in the items I have read on the internet.

Thank you.

A: Teresa,

Diabetes is a self created condition, meaning it is caused by long term carbohydrate intake. Eventually the body can’t metabolize the sugar any more so the body putting it into the blood rather than the cell. As long as a person hasn’t developed insulin dependency the condition (in my opinion) can be reversed. A low glycemic diet needs to be followed religiously!

As far as goji juice goes: there is data I have read that suggests it will aid in reducing glucose levels. What it will do on an individual basis I can’t answer that.

I know that a person’s diet is the most important aspect to correcting non-insulin dependent diabetes. Next comes antioxidants of which goji possesses high levels.

Literature suggests that the long term benefits of consuming goji, is greater health and wellbeing.

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
