I wonder if this opinion actually looked at any studies done on these. A couple of actual studies conducted in Russia looking at the increase of the effectiveness of NK cells in blood in the presence of cancer cells. The studies show Mangosteen to rate very high almost twice as effective as Echinachea. I use echinachea and know first hand that it works even though there are medical studies that claim that it doesn’t do anything. Traditional medicine pratcices try to make us believe that prescription medications are the only way to heal ourselves. Why Russia you ask? Because our society is too wrapped up in the big business of pharmicutical drugs! They would never publish anything that could take their business from them.
