Mangosteen and PSA levels

The other day one of my patients was asking me why do I push the Mangosteen juice so hard, and my answer was because it is good for people. I get to see a lot of advance diseases. People came to me as the last resort. I get to try my Chinese herbal formulas and my acupuncture with great success given the odds (regular doctors can do anything more for these people), but I also have limitations. When I started to use Mangosteen in my practice, I was using it only as a last resort; once I had given every other of my traditional formulas a chance to work. I was amazed by the results. Mangosteen was working where nothing else was. So I started to study the science behind the Mangosteen. And the more successes I had with the patients I used it on, the more my conviction grew.

I believe that a lot of our illnesses can be prevented, and that if this product can help a serious disease, it can also prevent it. I have seen it help people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes... It is not a panacea and everybody still needs medical care, but it gives people a fighting chance.
My bottom line is this, I push it because I care. If I can help one person with their health, the rest can laugh at me all they want.

I am attaching the copy of a news letter that a gentleman brought me. He has prostate cancer and does not want to be operated on. He is on his 70”s, has been drinking Mangosteen juice for a couple of months, and he is really excited with the results. He got his copy of the Prostate Cancer Communicator Newsletter vol.24 number 2 and read page 18, he rushed over to our clinic and ask to have two cases of juice sent to his brother.
I see thing like these often, and I thought I’d take the opportunity to share with you.

Here is an exerpt from a letter to the editor that my patient read:

December 5, 2007

My name is Glenn Waite and I will turn 80 years of age in March 2008. I reside in Lakeland, Florida for five months a year and Cedar Springs, Michigan the other seven months of the year.

In 1996, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given several choices of treatment. I decided to have my prostate removed believing at the time that surgery would completely remove all of the cancer.

In June of 1999, my PSA count began to rise again. There was a small area of cancer found on my bladder. I received 10 weeks of radiation.

In June of 2002, my PSA began to rise again. When it reached 11.1 in September of 2002, I began hormone therapy using Zoladex. I had side effects of hot flashes, tiredness, and depression.

In September 2003 when my PSA was down to .1, I insisted on stopping the hormone therapy after research and talking with other prostate cancer patients associated with the PAACT group. I opted to stop hormone therapy on September of 2003 (after just 12 months) with the idea of implementing intermittent hormone therapy.

In June 2004, my PSA rose to 4.01 and I began the hormone therapy again. I stopped the hormone therapy in June of 2005 when my PSA went down to .5.

By May 25, 2007, my PSA had gone up again to 13.1. I learned about the Xango (Mangosteen Juice) and began to take 3 ounces 3 times a day on July 14, 2007. When I met with my oncologist at the Veteran’s Hospital in Ann Arbor on July 14, she strongly suggested I begin the hormone therapy. I asked her about the Xango and she pulled up some medical information about it. She agreed to allow me to try the juice for 60 days, but wanted a new PSA report. She also warned me to be prepared to start the hormone therapy if the PSA did not go down at the end of the 60 days.

Two months later on September 12, my PSA was down to 6.9. My oncologist was speechless and had never seen a PSA go down without some type of traditional medical treatment. She was truly amazed.

She did NOT recommend starting the hormone therapy but did want another PSA test in 2-3 months. She also suggested it may only be temporary and I may need to start the hormone therapy if the PSA goes back up. She said I could be seen by a doctor at the Grand Rapids VA clinic and based on the blood tests, I could have the hormone therapy begun closer to home....if necessary.

On October 31, 2007, my PSA was down to 1.7. My regular doctor in Grand Rapids just left the VA Clinic to take a position out West. As of today, a new doctor has not yet been assigned to me to discuss my October 2007 results. The 3 1/2 months where my PSA dropped from 13.1 to 1.7, I was taking the Xango. That is the ONLY thing different that I was doing.

Over the last eight years, I have tried to eat healthy food, take vitamins, exercise regularly (work out at the YMCA one - three times a week and golf two - three times a week), and maintain a positive attitude. At this point in time, I am completely convinced the Xango is the only possible reason my PSA (amount of cancer cells in my system) has been lowered. I feel great and am doing everything I want to do at this time of my life. I have copies of my blood tests to prove the PSA readings as well as copies of other medical reports. I would be happy to talk with anyone and share my personal experience in hopes it may be of help to others.

Sincerely,

Glenn E Waite
