Comments on: Mangosteen Juice: Yet Another Scam Product http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/blog/?p=32 Raw Food Diet Plan & Healthy Eating Recipes, Foods for Health Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:57:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Sharon http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/blog/?p=32#comment-168676 Sharon Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:15:22 +0000 http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/blog/2007/05/31/mangosteen-juice-yet-another-scam-product/#comment-168676 THANK YOU, FREDERIC!! Of all the Raw Food proponents, I like you and only a couple of others because of how real, common sense remarks about eating are offered. Besides being a Health Counselor & Coach and Food Educator, I practice a highly effective system of muscle testing for correct (and in the best interests of the client) vitamin usage. Clients bring multiple bottles of all of those different juices to me for muscle testing, wanting them to be something good for them; but 9 times out of 10 when I muscle test with the product held in their energy field while asking the correct/relevant questions, the body will indicate one or more of several different reasons why the body cannot use or tolerate it (e.g. it contains; an ingredient the body is allergic or sensitive to (often sugar), they are taking too much, the body cannot use it at all...etc.). This does not make me popular with two or three proponents of juices. We blithley stuff our bodies full of supplements using our "thinking" not our bodily reactions or feedback, and consequently we are then so full of fillers and junk (that are part of most supplements), we develop food "allergies" (this is only one reason for food allergies). I do sell supplements (real food, 75 y/o company sold to health care providers only), and no matter how much a client wants a calcium supplement or has been told they need it or believes mainstream media that you have to have a certain kind of calcium , I do not provide it unless that client's muscle test of the body indicates a need for it (I handle 6 different calcium formulations). I often think I do myself no favors when I tell them "you can eat fresh good food or buy pills". This does not negate the fact that many of us need the support a good supplement offers. Judicial use of supplements is part of a good eating plan. Thank you for providing this forum! THANK YOU, FREDERIC!!

You take a steroid 4 times a month, which lowers your immune system that is already shot from the chemo. Then you somtimes get sick and go to a MD and they try to sell you on this Xango Juice and even gives you 3 phone numbers to call to buy it! Says they do lectures on this product. When there is no cure for this type of blood cancer yet and a Doctor gives you just a glimmer of false hope by saying this product can even cure cancer, specificly this type of cancer. It makes me so sick, to think that we sat there and thought Wow! I just wonder how many other people have bought into this. We know there are healthy foods out there that have very good property's. This doctor was seen today because of Bronchitis. Not our regular Dr. I may even say something to the other people in the practice. Seems a little weird as soon as she heard Multiple Myeloma, jumped right on the Xango Juice band wagon.

That is why when I chose the company I represent I was very careful to choose one that was a Whole Food Puree Product :) My focus is on helping people be healthier versus making money. Not everyone eats healthy. Not everyone gets enough anti-oxidants because they are clueless what they are. Via is an easy way to get all you need plus the proper vitamins and minerals to make your body work at optimum health. There are a lot of scam artist out there, so beware, however, just because 10 are doesn't mean 1 can't be :) I found the one that has 9 whole fruits and 2 roots and soon will be adding 2 more ingredients. The antioxidant value has been scientifically tested and the company has gone above and beyond like most companies won't do. The Ceo and Founder is someone who is an advisor to billionaires, and has top people in their field working for the company. He doesn't "need" the money from the company. He actually had a vision and a dream and found others who are tops in their field to help make it a reality. Before you totally give up on the idea that all MLM Company's are bogus, I would love for you to look at Via from a healthful view. I think you might actually be impressed! We have many People in the whole food arena who have seen the benefits of the products and are recommending it because they see the health benefits. Is it a "Miracle Cure"...for me it was and I am grateful to have found it. But "we" can't claim it cures or heals anything because the FDA won't allow a FOOD PRODUCT to make such a claim. If it isn't a DRUG then you can't say it cures or heals....funny huh..but then again THEY make the rules! Doing What I love, Debra I can’t agree with you more Frederic on the fact that Xango is junk. That is why when I chose the company I represent I was very careful to choose one that was a Whole Food Puree Product :)
