I was pleasantly surprised and also grateful to see the story Entrepreneur finds success with dietary supplement beverage in the May 16 paper.

I come to wonder how the reporter found out about and wrote about “local boy makes good” in the supplement industry. Did he know Gordon Morton as a friend in high school years ago?  We are a very fortunate people here in Orangeville with the high quality and quantity of caring health care people that surround us! Kudos to the Mortons, who were some of the originals in the health supplement field.

As a local complementary/alternative therapist (acupuncture, voice bioanalysis, massage, aromatherapy, specialized kinesiology) I am always looking at this side of the industry, and I have come to discover that Xango’s whole fruit mangosteen juice actually lives up to its claims for health and well-being. Independent researchers worldwide have published dozens of papers on mangosteen and its xanthones.

Personal stories abound in how this juice has given hope and increased health for people with health concerns such as cancer, fibromyalgia, skin disorders, weight loss, gastrointestinal problems, fevers, wounds, headaches, malaria, syphilis, parasites and infections, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, Crohn’s disease and more.

This is why I became interested and joined this company. I like to be able to offer my clients a whole food supplement that is supported by other medical professionals such as Canadian born Dr. J.F. Templeman and leading ethnobotanist Dr. James Duke of the USDA and University of Maryland.

As well, I would like the reading public to not only be aware of their backdoor success story like Gordon Morton but that they too can obtain help by drinking Xango’s whole fruit mangosteen by getting into contact with local distributors such as myself. This company, with leaders such as Morton, can only continue to succeed as they have, by helping others to succeed.
