This from John Shull:
Protect Yourself -- Protect Your Company
Rules to Live By
From Dr. James Duke, perhaps America's foremost
ethno botanist. Retired in 1995. He worked for
the USDA and University of Maryland.
Prolific writer and created a phytochemical and
ethno botanical database. Mangosteen is listed
with 138 separate benefits. The following are
the major benefits:
Anti-fatigue
Anti-tumor and cancer prevention
Anti-aging
Anti-oxidant
Anti-lipidemic - blood fat lowering, LDL
Anti-inflammatory - prevents inflammation
Anti-ulcer - prevents both stomach, mouth,
and bowel ulcers
Anti-obesity - helps with weight loss
Anti-atherosclerotic - prevents hardening
of the arteries
Anti-viral
Anti-fungal - prevents or modulates
fungal infections
Anti-depressant
Anti-Alzheimer's - helps prevent dementia
Anti-arthritic - prevention of arthritis
Anti-osteoporosis - helps prevent the
loss of bone mass
Anti-periodontic - reduces/prevents inflammation
and infection of gums
Anti-seborrhic - prevents seborrhea (skin
disease that causes dandruff)
Anti-calcultic - prevents kidney stones
Anti-pyretic - fever lowering
Anti-Parkinson
Anti-diarrhea
Anti-neuralgic - reduces nerve pain
(i.e. diabetic neuropathy of the feet, hands)
Anti-vertigo - prevents dizziness
Anti-glaucomic - prevents glaucoma
Anti-cataract - prevents cataracts
Hypotensive - blood pressure lowering
Immunostimulant - multiple categories cited
Cardioprotective - protects the heart
Analgesic - prevents pain
You should ALWAYS refer to MANGOSTEEN when talking
about health benefits.
The authorities get pretty strict about "product"
claims. While we are supposed to have freedom of
speech, and for the most part do, when it comes
to network marketing our freedoms sometimes get
kicked around a bit. Recall there was a time when
network marketers were forbidden to say how much
money they made? It was absurd and yes,
unconstitutional, but nevertheless, it was
illegal to state your network marketing income.
Unless you wanted a major hassle you had to
comply. It took time to get that changed.
The same applies to the making of health
claims about a product "brand" or in other
words "XanGo." If you have an ailment and
you feel XanGo eliminated it, you're not
allowed to say, "XanGo cured me of such and
such." XanGo is a brand and as such you cannot
make health claims about XanGo.
Here's what you CAN do. Read carefully the
third party tools about the health benefits of
"Mangosteen." Mangosteen is the fruit name just
like if you were talking about an orange. Minute
Maid brand cannot put out an ad saying, "Minute
Maid helps prevent colds." But no one can stop
you from saying orange juice helps prevent colds.
The same principle applies to Mangosteen.
Take my advice, get yourself educated about the
scientifically documented health benefits of
using "Mangosteen" and share that documentation
with others. Always use the words "Mangosteen"
or "Mangosteen juice" and never " XanGo " when
speaking about health benefits or when sharing
your product testimonial.
Thanks John

thanks for this good advice Joanie,
The rules are even getting tighter when it comes to compliance. Now the company doesn't allow the 3rd party brochures and testimonial sites to be tied to a distributor in any way. e.g. they don't want you to attach your Xango business card to one of the brochures that discusses the benefits of mangosteen juice. We have had to jump through a lot of hoops to keep our website for distributors up to their new standards.
The LoveMangosteen.net website is generic and can't be owned by a Xango distributor and can't be linked to from any Xango approved website but it just floats out there in cyberspace for anyone to benefit from due to all of these new rules.

Sadly, LoveMangosteen.net is no longer active! Neither are any of the other testimonial sites I used to like.
Call it the reaction to the FDA.
