Mangosteen Research For Diabetics


This is some research by Dr Kay Davies, who has a PhD in Physiology

ONE WAY MANGOSTEEN REDUCES BLOOD SUGAR FOR DIABETICS


SUMMARY:

Mangosteen has been shown, in a recent laboratory study, to slow the breakdown of starch (carbohydrates) to sugar in the same way as the Diabetic drug, Acarbose (Brand names – Prandase or Precose). Slower breakdown of starch results in less sugar (glucose) in the blood immediately following eating. Additional studies have shown that Mangosteen is retained in the blood for up to 6 hours – maximum effectiveness occurs 1-3 hours after taking Mangosteen.


Thus, Diabetics are recommended to take their Mangosteen 1-3 hours prior to their largest meal, or with this meal. Mangosteen, taken at the correct time will also help non-Diabetics by reducing the extra strain excess sugar puts on the Pancreas. This extra strain on the Pancreas, in time, can lead to Diabetes.

DETAILS:

The Diabetic medication, Acarbose*, works by inhibiting the enzyme (Amylase) that is primarily responsible for the breakdown of Starch to Sugar ( Glucose).

A study** has shown that the one of the Xanthones in the Mangosteen Pericarp works in exactly the same way in our body as Acarbose.

Starch consists of unbranched glucose molecules (Amylose) and branched glucose molecules (Amylopectin). One of the Xanthones in the pericarp of Mangosteen inhibits the enzyme, Amylase. Amylase is inhibited with both Acarbose and Mangosteen, so that the amount of Starch broken down to Sugar from eating is greatly reduced. This means that the sugar level of Diabetics is lessened immediately after a meal. The starch in what was consumed is broken down more slowly over time, after Acarbose and Mangosteen disappear from a person’s blood.

Mangosteen works exactly the same way as Acarbose without any drug side effects.
For Diabetics, the best time to take Mangosteen is to take it within 1-3 hrs prior to eating, or with a meal. If a Diabetic is only taking one dose of Mangosteen, they should take their Mangosteen prior to their largest meal.

Non-Diabetics also benefit from taking Mangosteen. This is because diets which contain excess sugar put an unnecessary strain on the Beta cells in the pancreas. Over time, this excess strain has been shown to result in insulin resistance, leading to full blown Diabetes. Taking Mangosteen on a regular basis reduces the amount of sugar in the blood following meals high in carbohydrates and sugars, and thus prevents this strain on the pancreas.

Additional studies have shown that Mangosteen is retained in the blood stream for at least 6 hours – maximum effectiveness occurs in the first 1-3 hours.CONCLUSION

Mangosteen and the drug, Acarbose, both result in the slower breakdown of starch to sugar. This leads to everyone having less sugar in their blood following a meal. Less sugar to deal with means it is easier for Diabetics (and non-Diabetics) to move the sugar present in the blood into their cells – less insulin needs to be released and the sugar level remains closer to normal. Another benefit of taking Mangosteen versus Acarbose is there are no drug side-effects.

Video Conference Call With Ambassador Leader Brad Alkazin

Dear Vemma Member,

I wanted to personally introduce myself and let you know about the future expansion of Vemma, especially now with the launch of Verve !

My name is Brad Alkazin, I'm 22 years old and I live in southern California.

Not only have I been blessed physically as an athlete by being on Vemma for the last 3 years, seeing great results in my health and body day in and day out, but have seen tremendous results for my family, friends, and people I've introduced to the product.

Ranging from blood pressure dropping, cholesterol dropping, migraine headaches relieved, IBS, chronic fatigue and so much more. Also, I put weekly time and effort into the concept of sharing the product (the business) and have been able to build an income up to 8 thousand (US) per week.

Now with the launch of Verve, especially in Europe building the business is even that much easier. People already drink energy drinks, therefore they're loving the taste, health benefits, and more energy Verve is giving them!

Also, they can get paid to drink energy drinks now once they share it with family and friends, ect. Being that the energy drink market does 5 billion per year in sales, that's BILLION, I hope you realize how much potential lies in Verve and how we all can take action and benefit by being at the right place at the right time.

I extend my support to each and every one of you, now with some recent changes in Team Europe, I am able to be more of a leader and assist you in building your business.

I remember at a young age what took me to the top:

Staying plugged in and doing something positive everyday to build my business. Specifically being on the calls, at the meetings, sticking to how the leaders told me to build the business.

Having the attitude and desire for change in my life, and making the decision on how big I wanted my business to be and never quiting !

I encourage you to take advantage of a new video conference I will be hosting on Mondays at 9:15pm Holland time, where you can bring people onto that your sharing the product or opportunity with, and also get great training and tips to build your business even better.

The video conference will be held at url:
http://brad14.vemmasuite.com/meeting/brad

I also will begin to reach out to you and your team and assist in conference calls and meetings and even will be coming back to your area on a more regular basis, beginning in September to do meetings and help build your business.

I look forward to not only meeting you but working with you to build your business and take you to the top!

Have a great day, begin to take massive action, and see you on the video conference!

Sincerely,
Brad Alkazin
Ambassador Leader

Verve Teams Up With Motor Sports For A Winning Future

START YOUR ENGINES! And get ready to build your Verve business at top speed!

In our continuing effort to build the Verve brand and bring credibility to YOUR business and the Verve opportunity, Verve has entered the adrenaline-pumping motor sports arena. We want to introduce you to our star lineup.

These three talented racers, competing in different series are going to kick the Verve brand into overdrive.

First up are three Verve cars from Tommy Constantine Racing (TCR). The #28 and #46 are BMW M3s competing in the KONI Challenge Series GS class and the #53 BMW M6 competes in the Grand AM Rolex Sports Car Series. Depending on the schedule, you can find Tommy Constantine behind the wheel of the #46 and #53 cars pushing the edge and giving his competitors all they can handle.

A resident of Scottsdale, Arizona, Tommy always manages to get Verve in the spotlight when he's at the track working closely with the fans and media! Catch one of Tommy's races and you won't miss the bright orange, white and black Verve cars setting the pace.

Next on the grid is the Verve Energy Drink #99 Ford Fusion driven by Brett Butler from Snellville, Georgia. This talented rookie is proving to be the one to watch as he competes in the 2008 Hooters USAR ProCup Series. Butler is part of a new two-car team that has been consistently running in the top ten and challenging for a win all year!

Brett has been busy showing his competition the Verve logo on the back of his car as he slices his way to the front. His accomplishments on the track are not going to be slowing down anytime soon as he continues to run the full Northern Division and Championship Series schedules wrapping up in November.

Rounding out the Verve Motor Sports team is #269 AMA-PRO Superbike Racer, Johnny Rock Page from Phoenix, Arizona. No seat belt or roll cages for these two-wheeled rockets. Fulfilling a childhood dream, Johnny won the Unlimited Superbike Expert and Unlimited Supersport Expert classes at the 2007 Daytona “Nationals” CCS Race of Champions.

Johnny Rock Page embodies the spirit of Verve with the qualities this sport rewards; lightning quick reflexes, finesse and outright speed. He's ready to spread the thrill and excitement of AMA Superbike racing and the Verve brand to race fans across the country and around the world.

It's time to fasten your seat belts because Verve is just getting started. The credibility of these racers combined with Verve's results-driven, great tasting formula is a winning combination that will help pave the way to putting your business on the fast track.

Make sure your entire team is making plans now to meet these drivers in person at the Las Vegas convention January 22nd - 24th, 2009.

Don't miss seeing these racers take Verve to the next level at their races. For complete TV broadcast listings, search the Speed Network to see Tommy Constantine or Johnny Rock Page master the road courses.

Increase Your Value

What can you do today that can double your income...attract others to you...and increase your effectiveness?

Increase your value!

A first place to start is, what do you know?
Whatever your area of expertise is, learn all you can about your professional. Become extremely familiar with the latest techniques and technology used by industry experts.

You can get up to speed with your industry by attending local seminars hosted by industry experts or read books and publications for your industry. Everything you may learn may not be of value to you, but take a nugget here and there of what you do find worthy of having and implement it. This is the foundation for increasing your value.

The second place is, who do you know?
Seek out the experts in your industry. Find out what these experts are doing. How have they improved? What's their secret? Perhaps what they will share with you can be another nugget to add to your collection. Always been out on the prowl looking for someone who can help you. This is the building blocks for increasing your value.

The final place is, when do you know enough is enough?
fact of the matter is, you will never know enough. There is so much out there that there isn't enough time in the world to know everything. Especially, because in some cases you may not even consider some of the techniques as being viable for you. So, that is why you need to be on a path of continuous learning. This is the icing on the cake for increasing your value, never stop learning.

When you increase your value, you become an expert. An expert that becomes sought out. An expert that is trustworthy. An expert that is effective. And, an expert that is a leader.These values put you in charge. In charge of your life and career. You will find yourself achieving what you once thought was impossible, now something totally doable.

You choose what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

In return you increase your income, effectiveness, and knowledge.
Dedicated to your success,
Jerome Ratliff

How Can I Motivate Others To Become More Successful?

I get asked dozens of times every month by ambitious network marketers (even in my own organization) from all over the world, "How can I motivate others to become more successful?"

Now as great as it might sound to be able to motivate someone else, the answer is, you cannot successfully motivate others.

You may inspire them, but motivation for them must come from within.Anything less than internal motivation is like spray paint on rust. Eventually, when the motivation from an event or pep talk wears off, its a person's commitment that is left over.

You cannot motivate others to want to succeed any more than you can push a rope uphill.

Truth is, a person must first want it for themselves before they will ever become successful.

If you want it more for someone else than they want it for themself, this can become very unhealthy. (for both parties)

The key then to having motivated people on your team, is to be motivated yourself.

Being self motivated is the only surefire way to reach long term success.

Being self motivated means that you don't require someone else to remind you of the opportunity you have in front of you.

Being self motivated means that you wake up every morning raring and ready to take on the day, create new relationships, market your business and show people how to get started.

Being self motivated means that you attend local events, regionals, conventions or trainings without having to be reminded that these events are taking place.

Being self motivated means that you invest in your education by reading good books, listening to audios and modeling successful people.

Being self motivated means that you take all out massive action, regardless of who believes in you, supports you or joins you.

Being self motivated means that you are inspired by your future and what is possible.Being self motivated means being self determined.

Being self motivated requires that you are self functional.This means that you must learn the system, how to do business and produce.

So what do you do if your prospects are unmotivated to get started and your team unmotivated to take action?

FIRE THEM and find new people.

New people who are hungry for success, will stop at nothing to get it and are determined to develop themselves into a leader that others are looking to follow.

Use your Magnetic Sponsoring System, Building on a Budget & MLM Traffic Formula to develop a strategy that attracts other network marketers who have already bought into the business model and are just looking for the right leader, the right system and the right support to reach the top!

Until next time,

Aaron
