"Cindy" Smith Paisley (Cynthia Kay Paisley): Our cabinmate from Infinite Boundaries passed away on September 29, 2011 after a seven year fight with breast cancer. Cindy was 52 years old. "She truly fought this disease like a girl." She had many recurrences and had Triple Negative breast cancer. She was our Facebook friend as well along with our friend Diane. We have lost three people from our cabin, Tenley Ireland Witte (not from breast cancer), Pepper (below) and now Cindy.
This is a sad time for her family and her very close friends. Our hearts go out to the loss of Cindy but many of us know she is an angel up there.
We all gave words of encouragement on a memory quilt this past winter for Cindy, as it was a never ending battle of Cindy.
Her obituary states" Cindy held various jobs during the course of her lifetime but her favorite and most important was being a wife and a mother. Cindy was an amazing woman with love and enthusiasm for life like no other. Morgan said it best, "Cindy gave the meaning of the word love and spread it better than anyone I know and helped me to realize that love is forever."
Cynthia Smith-Paisley-"Ahhh...Remembering Madeline Island takes me back to a place that helped me to heal, yet bond in many ways. The reatereat is forever engraved in my heart and soult! The above photos reveal my feelings. Way to go "lilygrace design." Diane, "Yes, Cindy...Oh to be back there again with our other "sisters." Something about the Island is almost magical."
"Pepper"/TaRell Pepper Gort: Our dear friend Pepper died of breast cancer at the age of 45 years of age on August 20, 2011. She attended Infinite Boundaries with many of us. We had the most rocking cabin ever filling it with stories and laughter, like there was no tommorrow. Peggy Anderson would always tell Pepper that she was so beautiful. She didn't feel that way after breast cancer surgery. She would write her E-mails and tell her how beautiful she was as she knew it would make her laugh.
Pepper struggled with metastica breast cancer until it finnaly took her life. (More details will be added.)
She was a dialysis technican in the Aurora Medical Group from 1998 until 2010 when she could not longer work. "She was known for her contagious energy, spirit and smile that endeared her to anyone who met her."
Barb Perrella: "Hi, my name is Barbara Perrella, and I live in Duluth, MN. I have a significant amount of breast cancer in my family-aunts, mother, two sisters, and myself. I was lucky-I caught mine at the precancerous level. Because of my family history, I was aggressive with my treatment-lumpectomy and radiation. They put me on Tamoxifin but it DID NOT agree with me at all! I had to get off the drug. At the time they had nothing else to give me for cancer protection I needed. I was literally sacred to death because what's to say it wouldn't reappear. I hopped on the Internet-looking for a prevention. I totally stumbled onto a natural product called Xango made from the Mangosteen fruit.
I never tried any supplments before, so this was new to me. What prompted me to order the product was science behind the fruit before someone said, "Hey, let's put it in a bottle." This company called Xango came after the science. One study showed one of the Xanthones from this fruit and not found in anything else in nature-Cardione E-had the greater tumor-killing action than the usual chemotherapeutic agents (Metotrexate, Vincristine, 5-FU, Cisplatiunum, Mitoxantrone). Here's the quote: "Unlike other anti-cancer drugs such as Metotrexate and Vincristine, the cytotoxic effect of Garcinone E does not vary greatly among different cancer cell lines and could achieve total killing of the target cells. Garcinone E should be a more effective drug than Metotrexate, Vincristine, 5-FU and Cisplatinum suggesting that it is potentially more effective than some of the commercially available anti-neoplastic agents presently in use."
Here's another one: Antiproliferation, antioxidation and inductioin of apoptosis by Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) on SKBR3 human breast cancer cell line P. Moongkardi, N. Kosema, S. Kaslungkab, O. Luanratanac, N. Pongpan and N. Neungtond Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Volume 90, Issue 1, Jan. 2004, Pgs. 161-166: They found that an extract from the mangosteen fruit inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells. They also showed that the extract had potent antioxidant and cancer cells death properties.
Go to:www.Pubmed.gov. Then search for Mangosteen and Xanthones. You will be amazed at all the studies.
I ordered it based on the science behind the fruit. Well, it tasted great, and I drank it faithfully which is the key to the product. Within that first month I noticed a considerable increase in my energy level-I felt great. I also realized too that the bursitis in my right hip was completely gone!
Today, six years later, no more bursitis and no recurrences of cancer. I feel great! After I had those inital results with the juice, I hopped on an airplane to go check out this company. There was not way I was going to be involved with a compnay that was not legit, and I wanted to find out if my results were just my imagination. Well, I met the owners of the company, walked through the state of the art headquarters, and met thousands of people like me with results from this product and now COMPLETELY complelled to share this wonderful life changing product with people.
I encourage anyone that reads this to do some research-go to: www.Xango.com. I have lots of information to share from doctors and regular people. More information can be found at: www.NaturalJuiceDrink.com.
