What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is one iteration of autoimmune thyroid disease. An autoimmune disease occurs when your body’s immune system gets out of wack and starts redirecting your antibodies to attack your organs, cells or even tissues – it’s supposed to protect you by the way. In any case this autoimmune disease manages to attack and destroy your thyroid gland. Now we know the thyroid helps set the rate of metabolism which is the rate at which the body efficiently uses energy. Basically Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis prevents your thyroid gland from producing enough thyroid hormones for the body to work correctly.

Occurrence of autoimmune disease:
Unfortunately about 75% of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during their childbearing years.

Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis:
While Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis might creep up on some patients and some patients even report no symptoms, some common symptoms have manifested over the years. Some of the more common symptoms are fatigue, depression, and sensitivity to cold, weight gain, muscle weakness, coarsening of the skin, dry or brittle hair, constipation, muscle cramps, increased menstrual flow, and goiter which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.

Threatment:
Very Important: No medical claim is made on any particular product. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for treatment by your licensed medical professional.

Traditionally Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can usually be treated with thyroid hormone replacement. We have however had some users of Mangosteen juice product called XanGo report some powerful improvements. We don’t make any representations, just presenting you with an alternative to consider.

Here is a real question posed to Dr. J Frederic Templeman

Q. What do the xanthones in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit do?

A There are over 40 known xanthones in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit. There are also polysaccharides and other active chemicals that give the mangosteen fruit its medicinal properties. The following is a short list outlining some of these benefits:

*
Antiinflammatory – is known to inhibit swelling, tenderness, edema and pain
*
Antioxidant – known to stop the harmful effects of free radicals in the body
*

Q. I consider myself a healthy person. I try to balance my diet and I take a multi-vitamin each morning. Am I getting xanthones from my food?

A. No. The xanthone family of phytonutrients are found primarily in two families in nature ... Guttiferae (the family of the mangosteen) and Gentianaceae. The pericarp of the mangosteen is a premier source where xanthones are found in concentrated amounts. Many scientific studies name the mangosteen pericarp as one of the main sources of xanthones in nature. There are (so far) over 40 identified xanthones in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit.

Mangosteen Research

The Mangosteen, if scientific research is any indication, is perhaps the most important fruit on earth.

The Mangosteen contains several classes of phytonutrient antioxidants and is the only place in nature to contain a broad spectrum of a new class of phytonutrients called Xanthones. The potent effects on human health of the Mangosteen have been observed for centuries in Southeast Asia, and have been scientifically documented. Here is a summary of the benefits of the Mangosteen:

Mangosteen:

“I am convinced that Mangosteen will, without a doubt, be the most successful food supplement ever.” – J. Frederic Templeman, M.D.

Dr. Templeman is a practicing primary care physician, board-certified in both the US and Canada who has never before endorsed a food supplement. But after testing a Mangosteen derived Juice on his patients, Dr. Templeman went on to publish MANGOSTEEN, THE X FACTOR. You may order his booklet from his website: www.mangosteenmd.com. His booklet summarized both the observations of the native healers and peoples of Southeast Asia, and the scientific research that now documents the potent effects of this amazing fruit.

As Dr. Templeman states in the beginning of his book, “what is impressive about these studies is that all the scientific studies on Mangosteen are independent. The studies have no commercial bias.” In addition, while potent effects are noted with profound implications for human health, no safety or toxicity issues have been noted.

Mangosteen – What is it?

The Mangosteen is tangerine-sized and is deep purple in color on the outside, with a bright white pulp in the inside. Prized because of its excellent flavor, in Asia it is called the “Queen of Fruits,” and, in the French Caribbean, the Food of the Gods.” Used for centuries throughout the lands in which it grows, recent scientific studies have revealed an incredible scope of potent human health benefits leading many to believe that Mangosteen will be the most important fruit on earth.

Mangosteen: The X Factor (Disclaimer: No medical claim is made on any particular product. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for treatment by your licensed medical professional.)

The following is a summary of the X Factor by Dr. Templeman
Immune System
Protects against pathogens, sepsis, influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and diverticulosis. Anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal. Laboratory demonstrated to interfere with HIV protease, which keeps the virus immature and incapable of infections. Thai study demonstrated effectiveness against staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Polysaccharides in the rind stimulate phagocytic immune cells (PMN’s and monocytes). Effective against salmonella, typhus and tuberculosis bacteria.

Asian healers have used Mangosteen for centuries for syphilis, malaria, and amebic dysentery. In South America, it is used for intestinal worm infestations.

Anti-Tumor Properties
Catechins in Mangosteen: Prevent formation of carcinogenic compounds by blocking co-carcinogens. Turn up body’s natural detoxification defenses. Suppress cancer promotion or growth.

Gastro-Intestinal System
Dysentery, GI pathogens, diverticulosis, histamine and serotonin blocking capacity. Reduces excess stomach acid. Anti-allergic effect. Anti-stomach ulcer.

Respiratory System
Mangosteen study in September 2002 reported that it is an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic agent. Relevant for asthma. Xanthoses modulate IGE, antibody class involved in allergic reactions. Mangosteen can accomplish “what we now use several drugs to do. Ideal product to use daily to protect our respiratory system’s integrity”

The Central Nervous System
Dr. Nakahata’s research with glial cells (central nervous systems cells) suggest that Mangosteen could produce a therapeutic effect in both treatment and prevention of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Xanthones are the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered. The mangosteen fruit has been scientifically researched since 1955.

The research, in part, has discovered the following about xanthones:
