Hi Stephen,
My wife recently became a distributor for a juice made from the mangosteen fruit, which grows in thailand.
The brand name is Xango and the juice is quite remarkable. She became a distributor, after much skepticism,
when she observed first hand its affect on some friends with numerous maladies, it was simply amazing to say the least. She became a distributor primarily to supply myself and my youngest son, you see we also have our "thorn in the flesh" and now she is supplying it for her cousins who have cancer.
 
Several months ago in a conversation with her "up line" she found out he came out of retirement to help market this product when it "gave him his children back". His daughter had severe depression and his son had MS. He stated that, after being on this juice for some period of time, his sons brain lesions disappeared.
 
If you would like to speak with this man I can have him call you or you could call him, just e-mail me. I believe he lives in Alabama.
 
Also, Maybe John knows more about this fruit and its benefits since he is closer to its source.
This juice product is fairly new over here, something like three or four years. The fruit itself is banned for import to the U.S. due to the Asian fruit fly.
 
The juice is said to be a super antioxidant and the only "natural" cox2 inhibitor, so it's an anti inflammatory , an all natural one, with no side effects.
 
The July 2007 issue of Scientific American published an article called "A Malignant Flame" it states
"Inflammation, its hallmark characteristic, has gained recognition as an underlying contributor to virtually every chronic disease......"
 
There is lots of information on the net about the mangosteen and you can also look up xanthones at pubmed.com.

Mangosteen is often eaten with durian to remove the "heatiness".
