What Makes the Mangosteen so Special?

Watch and Listen to Real Testimonies from Mangosteen Customers from Around the World!

It wasn't until 40 years ago when scientists first put the Mangosteen Fruit under a microscope that they discovered a brand new group of phytonutrients we now know as Xanthones (pronounced zan-thones).

Xanthones are not vitamins and they're not minerals. What they are is a unique type of phytonutrient that is sending shockwaves throughout the scientific community for their potent nutritional properties, including their incredible ability to act as an Antioxidant, an Immune Booster and more.

Naturally occurring, Xanthones are found more abundantly in the rind of the Mangosteen Fruit than in any other food source on earth.

Over 50 independent studies to date substantiate the health benefits of mangosteen, found in some of the world's most influential scientific journals:

Biochemical Pharmacology
Free Radical Research
Journal of Pharmacology
Journal of Enzyme Inhibitors
Planta Medica
Journal of Natural Products and many more
"Xanthones show considerable biological activity, and it is surprising that none of them so far have an established use in medicine." - Taylor and Frost, Phytochemical Dictionary, 1983

What Can It Do For Me?
After years of intense scientific study, we now know that Xanthones demonstrate a potent ability to:

• Combat the Effects of Free Radicals
  Support the Immune System
  Promote a Healthy Respiratory System
  Support Cartilage and Joint Function
  Maintain Intestinal Health
  Sustain a Healthy Cardio-Vascular System

What is Mangosteen?

Mangosteen is an exotic botanical found in great abundance throughout Southeast Asia that has been revered for literally centuries by ancient healers but has only just recently reached the Western Hemisphere. The mangosteen is about the size of a tangerine, with a deep purple rind on the outside, and a pure, snowy white pulp on the inside that tastes absolutely delicious. Gourmet magazine even refers to it as "the world's most seductive fruit." Recent surveys tell us that just 5% of the North American population have ever heard of it so if this is your first time you're not alone.

Commonly used today in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine throughout Southeast Asia for its potent and broad range of health benefits, western science is now only just beginning to grasp its wide usage of applications. Historically, the whole fruit has been used to treat people not just internally but topically as well. This was done by either grinding the rind down and applying it directly to the skin or soaking it in water overnight and then drinking the resulting mangosteen tea.

Mangosteen is so popular in fact that its not only the National Fruit of Thailand but also commonly referred to as the "Queen of all Fruits". Legend even has it that Queen Victoria was so enamored with this rare botanical that she offered knighthood to any subject who could bring her a mangosteen in prime condition. Since hitting the shores of the United States, the mangosteen beverage category has consistently been ranked one of the “Top 10 Trends to Watch!” Its even been lauded on the Oprah Winfrey Show by Dr. Mehmet Oz aka "America's Doctor" as an "ancient secret that has strong antioxidants to promote everything from sexuality to longevity."

How Can You Get Your Hands on This Fruit?

Well, you could go to Thailand, or any number of exotic countries with ultra tropical climates in which it grows. Or, for the very first time ever, mangosteen is being legally imported into the United States, with the price of just one fruit ranging from between $11 and $15. And that's just the beginning of the challenge, if you can even find it fresh as its only sold at very select upscale markets.

You see although consuming the delicious snowy-white pulp on the inside will be a heavenly treat for your palette, virtually all of the healthy benefits are contained within the rind, or pericarp, its bitter outside skin, which is extremely unpleasant to eat. The peel therefore was often times brewed in a tea overnight and drank for various purposes after adding a sweetener to make it palatable. These formulas were then handed down from generation to generation for their efficacy.

Despite all of these challenges, there is now a way anyone can enjoy the healthy benefits this powerhouse botanical has to offer, without having to spend a fortune, having to hold your nose to drink it, or having to possess ancient healing wisdom.

What's its History & How Has it Been Used Traditionally?

Named for the French priest and explorer Laurentiers Garcin (1673-1751) the mangosteen is thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese, Aryuvedic and folk medicine in Asia. As a result of the mangosteen fruit's exquisite flavor, it has been given the nickname of the "Queen of Fruits", and in the French Caribbean the "Food of the Gods".

In the book Fruits of Warm Climates, particular attention is paid to the importance of mangosteen rind in traditional preparations. Dr. Morton recorded that the mangosteen rind was sliced, dried, powdered and then administered. Often times it was first made into an ointment and then applied topically on skin disorders. Additionally, she states “the rind decoction is applied externally as an astringent lotion.” Dr. Morton also makes mention of internal uses of the rind. “A portion of the rind is steeped in water overnight and the infusion given as a remedy.”

On May 26, 1885 The Illustrated London News reported that “Dr Garcin says the mangosteen is the only fruit which sick people are allowed to eat unsparingly; it is given with safety in almost every disorder.”

ACID REFLUX / CANCER - Breast / BLOOD PRESSURE / FIBROMYALGIA / DIABETES TYPE2
I had recurrent breast cancer, and was going through my third round of chemotherapy (Taxol and Carboplatin) when I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice in January 2004. I asked my oncologist about the mangossteen juice, and he said not to take an excess of antioxidants and that I could get all the antioxidants I needed from the "food" I eat. As mangosteen is a food, I took it but only 2 ounces a day (the maintenance dose) during chemo and radiation treatments. Once I started taking the mangosteen juice, I had no more nausea and surprisingly, I didn't get a cold or the flu which was going around at that time even though my blood counts were low. I did still experience the severe body aches and fatigue from the chemo, however. Once my therapies were over, I went to drinking 6 ounces a day and I have recovered nicely and I regained my blood counts within 1 month. I have come out of the depression I was in during this recurrence of cancer. I had acid reflux, and had been on Prevacid for the past 5 years. Now I don't need the Prevacid. I also had borderline high blood pressure, which is now normal. I had Fibromyalgia, which is completely gone also. My husband is blind and a type II diabetic and his blood sugars went from the mid 200s to the low 100s on 6 ounces a day (over the period of about a month). He has had problems with a fungal itch all over his body for a long time, and now that his blood sugars are lower, he is finally showing signs of healing from this fungus. I am a believer in drinking the Mangosteen juice for the rest of my life! I feel great!

ACID REFLUX / FIBROMYALGIA / IBS / HEADACHES / STOMACH PAIN / CRAMPS / SLEEP / ENERGY
I have been afflicted by Fibromyalgia for more than 8 years. I have been on many pain pills, muscle relaxer's and anti-inflammatory. I took all of these before I was introduced to more natural and healthy way a couple of years ago. I started seeing a chiropractor & he started me on different supplements. The Supplements and the adjustments helped but I was still having many painful issues. The issues I was experiencing were severe irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, chronic headaches, sore stomach, leg aches, leg cramping, abdominal cramping, sleep disorders and never having enough energy. I also am dealing with polycystic ovarian disease; from which I was having excessive bleeding and cramping and an irregular monthly cycle. My O.B. told me that this disease is linked to my insulin and the imbalance of my blood. Being young and single you can imagine these problems put a big damper on my lifestyle. My chiropractor, introduced me to Mangosteen Juice 2 months ago. I was very skeptical. I have tried so many vitamin supplements and natural things. But having tried just about everything I figured why not. I started taking Mangosteen Juice and within a couple of days I noticed a difference. My stomach wasn't sore. I didn't have the burning acid coming up the back of my throat. My abdominal cramping and irritable bowls were almost gone, so excitedly, I continued to drink the juice. My chronic headaches began to disappear; I wasn't having all the aches and pains and the leg cramping. Also my blood was being neutralized and my insulin was balancing as well. My monthly cycle became regular and not so heavy and I wasn't cramping as much. So I investigated the product. WOW… I couldn't believe that it had Xanthones and Antioxidants. I went to a seminar to learn more about antioxidants and Xanthones. It is vital for all the things that I needed to be healthy, but especially because I had Fibromyalgia. I learned that Mangosteen Juice helps neutralize the blood and helps your body to not be so acidic; plus it is a natural anti-Inflammatory, a natural anti-fungal, natural antibiotic, natural anti-viral, natural antibacterial, natural anti-depressant, and natural anti-anxiety. I am so thankful that I was told about this product.

ACNE
My son has acne. After taking just an ounce per day, it has cleared his acne up. My friend's grandson had acne real bad where his nose doubled up and it looked like he had two noses. He's been on the juice and it has cleared up in a matter of a month by taking an ounce per day.

ADD
My name is Dorina and I wanted to share with you the miraculous results regarding our daughter. A friend of Mark my husband, told him about Mangosteen juice at the Health Club (Dave M.) as he goes there every morning. Our daughter has been on Ritalin 10mg for 11 years. She is now 17!!! We started to take the juice in February, us twice a day, and, our daughter, 3 times a day. In March we tried to take her off her medication but she had the same "flares" and temper tantrums she would have when the medicine wore off. Nevertheless, we kept taking the Mangosteen juice! In July we were reminded of the devastating effects of continued use of Ritalin. She stopped taking it right then, and was the person I prayed for years. She makes such supernatural effort to do well in school and never had another outrage like she used to. She is the most fun person to be with and being herself has made the difference in the way she feels inside. We read about Mangosteen juice how it impacts the brain and that it could work on ADD, but did not have any testimony about it really working (not at that time). It is a miracle! It took a little longer to work because of the 11 years of continued use of drugs!!! My husband and I no longer wait for anything to go wrong with us to take Mangosteen juice; we just turned 50 and take it instead of all the chemicals and unnatural vitamins. We tell all our friends about it, and then it is up to them to Enjoy health or keep taking drugs-medications. We love our Mangosteen juice!!!

ADD / DEPRESSION
My 17 year old son (ADD) and I started using Mangosteen juice 2 months ago. I have ADD that I discovered 3 years ago that has affected many aspects of my creative & productive life. I have found the clarity and focus profound that Mangosteen juice gives me. For the past 3 years, after trying a variety of traditional ADD meds (stimulants & antidepressants) – as well as many alternative medical modalities for ADD including many different Amino Acids, nutritional supplements and vitamins etc., there is not a medication or supplement that creates more energy, focus and clarity of my mind than Mangosteen juice ! Here is a real testimonial repeated on an off Mangosteen juice. I’m a single parent and I recently went with my son on a 9 day Caribbean cruise to celebrate all the hard work he had put in this past year. On ship I planned to share some real connection time when homework and activities would finally not interfere. I only brought a few bottles of Mangosteen juice, and when a fellow traveler was having tremendous pain in his neck following neck surgery a few weeks earlier, I offered him a bottle. Because we were in short supply, my son offered to not take any & I rationed mine. I personally had less energy on the cruise when I was just relaxing, than my full days when I often work until 1-2 AM getting personal projects done. My son on the other hand had a different experience. His attitude soured, he had little appreciation, & patience that had been present before. His adolescence showed and the interactions between us were less than optimal. (He had left his ADD meds at home). Within 24 hrs of returning home my son was quite stressed considering the tests and work he had missed, even though he had done quite a bit homework on the ship. We returned to our usual home lifestyle, including taking Mangosteen juice and vitamins regularly. Within 24 hrs, even before he went back to school, I noticed an abrupt change in his behavior as he calmed down, the stress was decreased, and his relationship with me was back to normal! I found this interesting and put it in the back of my mind. I had a concern how the Mangosteen juice was interacting with the homeopathic treatment for my ADD so my physician and I decided to stop it for 4-5 days and reevaluate me, but not until I returned from a six day workshop with Tony Robbins as I knew I’d need it for focus. We were in the workshop form 9 AM until MN for the next 6 days. (Thank you Mr. Mangosteen for the energy to keep up with Tony’s hrs)! My son had been leaving me very “loving” messages while gone, so when I called the day before returning home, I suggested he STOP the mangosteen juice. When I returned home, the loving son had left, being replaced by the anxious adolescent from the cruise ship. Over the next 4-5 days, I was a little more on edge, & I was VERY distracted & the least focused I’d been in 3 years on NO meds for my ADD. My son on the other hand was angry, argumentative, impatient, impulsive – sounds like my 17 yr. old untreated son with ADD. It was an interesting 4 - 5 days, and I tried everything to create harmony. I saw the testimonial BELOW, reflecting the short time for Mangosteen juice to take affect, so when he retuned from school, I greeted him at the door and said DRINK, our test is over. I left the house for 2 hrs to run errands, and had not really told him the test was still on. When I returned home, I went down to find my son and I tried to engage him and “get in his face” and all I could get was a smile and no reaction. Now the test was really over. Mangosteen juice had won! Here’s the part I haven’t shared. I’m a physician, board certified in Internal Medicine and have practiced Wellness and Alternative Medicine with an emphasis on prevention for 25 yrs. I have read the science behind the Mangosteen and have not seen anything as profound in my 25 years that is as safe and can have such an impact on such a variety of health conditions from elimination of cancer, to lowering blood sugar, serum cholesterol, and blood pressure. The treatment of extreme inflammation as well as acute and chronic pain is profound as well as the treatment of autoimmune conditions, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Hepatitis, headaches and a variety of other conditions. Considering 75% of our population will unfortunately die from cancer and heart disease, EVERYONE should be on Mangosteen juice, unless they want to enjoy heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and all the chronic diseases from oxidation that afflict our society costing far more than Mangosteen juice.

ADD / ACNE
My daughter is now 20 years old and had been on medication for ADD since she was diagnosed at 7. It helped her tremendously, but we were always concerned. She had trouble gaining weight, she was noticibly irritated when she didn't take it as an adolescent and she decided to stop at 15 and went into a severe depression. Luckily, we worked things out and she began again on meds. Last Jan(07) she came and said she wanted to stop. She is in college with a rigorous schedule and she is a nutrition major. We discussed what to keep in mind when looking at the effects of not being on meds and she began taking mangosteen juice regularly in the am and pm. She is doing great and able to focus and work for long hours and is quite content and happy (most important!). During the time she was on meds we had occassional fainting that ended up being related to mitral valve prolapse. Nothing severe, but we do check her heart regularly; especially now that there have been warnings issued in regard to the medications used for ADD.
I also have an older daughter that had trouble with acne for many years, had been on accutane twice (we couldn't find any other resolution) and finally tried mangosteen juice and her skin has become beautiful again. We are true believers!! Try it, it can't hurt!

ADHD / ADD
I give the juice to my 6yr old daughter with ADHD & my 12yr. old daughter with ADD. I've seen great results with both of them. They are both on 3 oz. a day. One ounce in the morning on an empty stomach; one ounce in the afternoon when they get home from school; and one ounce 15 minutes before dinner or 30 minutes after dinner. They have both improved with focus and their grades have also improved since drinking the Mangosteen juice. My daughter will start zoning and get cranky and tired, and as soon as I give her a shot of the juice she perks up and her attitude improves..... We will never be without this juice!

ADHD
I give 1 oz to my 4 year old granddaughter who seems to have ADHD (her mom is diagnosed & on meds) but is not officially diagnosed. I find that the juice calms her down (tendency toward hysterics and temper tantrums) and increases her attention span. Before the juice, all guided activities were limited to 2-3 minutes and that was a challenge. When she's on the juice consistently, she has an excellent appetite, visits (conversational), she can sit and color for 15 minutes, plays with building blocks and erector sets (before she'd simply run laps through the house pushing a doll stroller or jump off the couch, stairs, etc.). She even takes naps! Mom couldn't believe it, until she started on the juice for herself. Mom needs about 4oz/day, but it helps her be able to 'ride' a train of thought to a conclusion, plus reduces Mom's anxiety. Mom loves not having bad side effects. Good stuff -- try it, but be consistent.

ADHD
For many years my youngest son was on ritalin just to maintain some focus in school. Results included severe depression after many years of use. About 20 months ago he was introduced to mangosteen juice and within a half hour (and that may be stretching it) he was feeling uplifted, more like himself and as a 17 year old, admitted it actually helped. He started a regular regime of mangosteen and we have not filled a ritalin perscription since! As long he maintains his juice intake he remains even tempered and is able to manage all of his other things in life. We are relieved he has ended the ritalin cycle and he is relieved to have a natural assit with mangosteen. I would urge anyone who medicates ADHD to give this a try, along with anyone dealing with depression.

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE
Mangosteen juice for depression is an area that I saw immediate (well almost - ½ hour) results with, in my ADHD/ODD, sleep deprived, unmotivated 17 year old son. After refusing medications for depression, my son tried the Mangosteen juice as a taste test basically upon receiving our first order. Within a half hour he returned from his bedroom hide-out, energized, talkative and clearly uplifted (he even cleaned out my refrigerator and cooked dinner that night!). A couple hours later he indicated that he thought "this stuff" really helped. Yes it helps with depression...not just my son but several others that I have shared this with have remarked almost immediately (within 24 hrs) that they felt uplifted, including a 23 year old recovering breast cancer winner that had stopped using anti-depressants due to the lack of feelings that was resulting from their use. I have several customers that are using this primarily for depression. That said, my son's 8 years of Ritalin use has been discontinued. He struggles at times, particularly when required to sit and read at length, however, he is not as faithful to using Mangosteen juice as he recognizes he needs to be at times. When he uses it consistently, he does better and openly admits to this. Motivation... he will not be breaking any academic records this year, however, due to dealing with his depression better, he now sleeps better, has greatly improved school attendance. He is consistently working out at the gym, eating better and generally feeling better. I strongly suggest that you give this a try with your child. Encourage consistency in using Mangosteen juice and base amounts on child's size. My son is a big boy (although he has lost 20 pounds since resuming a more active, healthy lifestyle), & takes an average 2-3 ounces each time he uses it, is 2 - 3X per day. Now keep in mind I didn't say this cures everything.... the obsessive compulsive side of my son has had to slow him down on the juice a few times when he drank close to a whole bottle one day! Good luck with your son Nancy...I look forward to hearing about your results on this page one day soon. All the Best!

OVARIAN CANCER / ECZEMA
December 23, 2003, I had a large ovarian tumor removed. Because of the size and the way the tumor looked additional blood tests were done. One of the tests they ran was to check my CA 125 levels. (Woman with high levels of CA 125, a tumor maker that may indicate the presence of ovarian cancer cells, have a higher than average risk of developing ovarian cancer) In Dec. my CA 125 level was at 93, the normal high is 35. Anything 35 and over they start looking and treating for possible ovarian cancer. April 7, 2004, I took the Mangosteen Juice twice a day. The amounts varied. On June 23, 2004, in my 6 month follow, I had the CA 125 blood test done. When my Dr. said the test results looked great I was very anxious to know how much the level had dropped. My levels today are at 24! He was very excited about the drop and mentioned that some times it takes up to 2 years to see the levels drop that much. I told him what I was doing the past 2 months or more, he just waved his hand indicating that had nothing to do with the levels dropping, & went on talking. I took 3 oz. 2X day. I KNOW what I just experienced was mangosteen juice. Now I believe in mangosteen juice! Another story. A Lady I work with had eczema really bad. She has this skin problem for years. She has been using a prescription salve on her hands. From time to time it would get better, other times it was so bad her hand would get really raw and red and lots of blisters and was now between her fingers. A few weeks ago I had the courage to tell her about [Mangosteen juice]. She went off on me, stating nothing like that would ever work. I spoke with Johanna about my experience, Johanna suggested that I give her one more piece of information and then make a statement of confidence on the [mangosteen juice] product, but also let her know that it is entirely up to her what she wants to do. I had barely stated my statement when she said, "Bring me a case of 'that' juice you have, I will do anything to get rid of this pain." She was taking 2 oz twice a day. I brought her a case on a Thursday; she started taking it as soon as she got the product. The following Wed we talked about the results she's had. In less than a week, her hand was no longer raw, only red but looked healing; the eczema was no longer between her fingers. She had such great results that she is a believer of the product. Laughingly she said, "The day before I started on the Mangosteen Juice I paid a stinkin' $51.00 dollars on a salve that never worked." I told her, "You should have started taking the Juice several weeks ago." She agreed.

PAIN - Joint and Muscle
I recently became a user of the Mangosteen based functional beverage, Mangosteen juice. I currently play professional soccer for the San Diego Sockers of the MISL and the Toronto Lynxs of the USL Soccer League. I've played on all the Canadian National teams, the Canadian Olympic team and Men's World Cup teams. I attended the University of Tulsa on a sports scholarship from 1996 - 2000. As a pro athlete, I have to demand that my body do extraordinary things on a daily basis. Practicing at full speed several hours a day and then playing a 90-minute game, often without substitution, requires that every muscle and every joint give 110% every minute. As you can imagine, this routine takes its toll and, most days, players have to spend a half hour or more under the hands of a masseur or in the whirlpool tank just to stay in playing form. Despite these aids, most, if not all athletes endure some pain all the time, either in joints or in the muscles. And when their playing days are over, osteoarthritis afflicts most players and the pain continues. We do everything possible to keep our edge during our active pro years and that's why I tried the Mangosteen juice. Dr. Templeman came and spoke to our team and explained that, because of the energy we need we burn up to twice the calories most people do on a daily basis. This produces billions of free radical molecules that can cause stress-related injuries and lead to premature aging in the long run. I already knew that most pro athletes died earlier than non-athletes but I didn't know why. I was pretty much convinced to try the juice on the basis of the antioxidant benefits it promised even before he told us about the anti-inflammatory effects it would have. Most athletes are big consumers of across-the-counter anti-inflammatory to help with pain. It took a few days of Mangosteen juice before I started to feel the pain relief but it really made a big difference for me and my joint and muscle aches have been markedly reduced without the need for any pills. I also note that I felt more energetic, which was an unexpected bonus. Another problem that professional athletes face is the disruption of our circadian rhythm because we are required to travel often and go from one time zone to another arriving late at night in many cases. I had disturbed sleep as a result. Almost as soon as I started the juice, my sleep normalized. I was frankly very surprised and pleased. Finally, professional athletes are under unrelenting pressure to perform. Performance anxiety is something we live with before, during and after every game and if things aren't going well either individually or as a team, it's even worse. Contrary to what some people believe, I think that high levels of anxiety impair an athlete's ability to do his or her job. I wasn't as anxious as some players but I still worried. Since I've been on the Mangosteen juice I can honestly say that my anxiety before games is now, thankfully, non-existent! So my story is that Mangosteen juice has helped me in four major areas: less pain, more energy, better sleep and no more anxiety. My girlfriend who has asthma has also used the juice and noticed a big improvement in her symptoms. Even when we had the terrible brush fires in our area and the smoke infiltrated everywhere, she didn't need her inhalers and that was a real change. My teammates who also used Mangosteen juice had many of the same results as I did. Mangosteen juice is something that all athletes from all sports should be using on a daily basis. I'm a believer.

PAIN - Joint / BLOOD PRESSURE / ENERGY / WEIGHT LOSS
I am 68-years-old and suffer from the normal aches, pains and other health related issues that come with age. One day I told my son that I was taking Aloe Vera to help with my aches and pains and found that it gave me some relief. He told me he had access to a new revolutionary product that he would like me to try. That product was Mangosteen. Before I go any further let me just say, I love this product! I was given a six week supply to try. Immediately I felt my energy level increase. My energy level was so good I began to forget about my aches and pains. My joints do not hurt anymore; plus I had a few other exciting side effects. Within the first three weeks of taking Mangosteen I lost nine pounds. Before taking Mangosteen I had a hard time stabilizing my blood pressure with medicine. Now my blood pressure is under control. I feel Mangosteen helped my blood pressure medicine to work more effectively. I have now been off Mangosteen for a couple of weeks and my energy level is down and the aches and pains have returned. I can't wait to get some more and begin to feel energized again. Mangosteen is an amazing product.

PAIN - Shoulder
For over a year, my shoulder was very painful, and I suspected it was caused by daily work on a computer. I began taking Mangosteen-juice. My shoulder stopped hurting in about 1 1/2 months and has not come back.The Mangosteen juice will actually attack the source of the problem as an anti-inflammatory and not mask the disease as a drug would ... Best to your health from a healthy 54 year old.

DEPRESSION - MAD
I have MAD and manic depression. A year ago I was taking three different kinds of prescription drugs and Xanex was among them. I started taking the mangosteen juice 2 oz. three times a day and one ounce before I went to sleep and in just two weeks was able to get off my meds completely. I have not had any episodes since because I continue to take the mangosteen juice. If I feel an episode coming on I will take an additional one to two ounces. When I quit my meds, I did go through a little withdrawal but nothing I couldn't tolerate for a short period of time. I looked at it this way, meds for the rest of my life or a health beverage. I just didn't want to be a druggie for the rest of my life, trading one condition for another potentially more serious one. Hope this helps.

DIABETES - Type 1
My seven year old son was diagnosed with type 1, insulin dependant, diabetes one year ago. When we initially started him on mangosteen juice around July of last year, his blood sugar numbers became more stable and I needed to slightly reduce his insulin doses. He's still in honeymoon and on a low carb diet, so his numbers are generally good anyway. After about two weeks of drinking mangosteen juice, his blood sugar numbers went back to pre-juice levels. We continue to keep him on the juice at two to three ounces per day (one ounce before each meal) as we know the antioxidant properties in the xanthones will help to protect him from infection and other complications that some diabetics suffer from as the years go by. Case in point: Late last summer he had an infected baby molar (due to an improperly done composite filling) that needed to be extracted. After the extraction (which took a long time and was difficult for a six year old to endure) drinking two ounces of mangosteen juice calmed him down and we drove home with him happily finding ALL the hidden objects in the "Highlights for Children" magazine the dentist had given him! He required NO pain medication (even after his mouth was no longer numb) and the extraction site healed very quickly. The juice continues to be a part of his daily diet. It does raise his blood sugar just like any other three carbs of juice will do, but I incorporate it into his meal and carb count and dose his insulin appropriately. Even for those recently diagnosed, the differences between type 1 and type 11 diabetes can be very confusing! The good thing is, drinking mangosteen juice, in my opinion, is beneficial for both. I'm not an exert, having started the type-1-diabetes-crash-course a year ago, but here is a quick description of diabetes, type 1 and 11. (There's actually two more "types" but I won't even go there!) Type 1 is considered an autoimmune disease. (My son also has celiac, which is another autoimmune disease.) For whatever reason, the body sees the insulin producing beta cells within the pancreas as foreign invaders and starts killing them. As the beta cells die, the body's ability to process sugar is diminished and blood glucose levels rise to often dangerous levels. Insulin is the key that unlocks the energy giving sugar into all the body's cells. Without it, the body will starve. Type 1 rears it's ugly head in babies, young children, as in my son's case, adolescents and up to age 44 or so. Insulin is not a cure, but, along with daily exercise and a healthy diet, type 1 diabetes can be well managed. Type 11 is when the body becomes insulin resistant. The pancreas is still producing insulin, but the body does not utilize it properly and you get, once again, high blood glucose levels. Sometimes injected insulin is used to give the pancreas a rest but most type 11s are prescribed drugs to lower their glucose levels. In this case, mangosteen juice is very helpful in lowering sugar levels. The xanthones help the body function better and gives that insulin "key" an extra turn to unlock the sugar in the cells. Type 11 can occur at most ages, even young kids, and can be, in some people, completely cured with lifestyle changes such as losing weight, getting more exercise and following a low carb diet. Along with frequent blood sugar finger tip testing (up to 10 times a day), daily exercise and two to three ounces of mangosteen juice with meals and I am confident that my son will grow up healthy and live a long and happy life. Drinking mangosteen juice daily,

DIABETES / BLOOD PRESSURE / KIDNEY - Failure
My name is George and I live in Alberta, Canada. Born and raised in a small town in Ohio, my wife and I have been missionaries in Canada for almost 50 years. Because of my poor diet, I was faced with kidney dialysis at my next medical check up. A family member told me about Mangosteen. I ordered it immediately and after listening to an info CD, I started taking a total of 9 oz a day, 3 at each meal, because I knew the next time I saw the doctor if nothing had improved with my health, he was going to put me on dialysis. Fortunately, I had EXACTLY 6 weeks from the time I began drinking Mangosteen to my next doctor's visit. Sure enough, when I got to the doctor's office, all the specially trained nurses, technicians and even the social worker were waiting for me as I walked through the
door. I went through the last blood work examination before they were going to hook me up to that dreaded machine. When the doctor came in the room, he looked quite surprised and said, "I don't know what you are doing, but keep on doing it." That was almost a year ago as I began drinking Mangosteen in October of 2004, and it is now the last part of August 2005. I am so thankful to report that my insulin went from taking 60 units 2 times a day to 10 units 1 time a day and there are some days, I DO NOT NEED INSULIN AT ALL!! When the blood work came back so great, I reduced the amount to only 2 oz in the morning. I am also off of one of my blood pressure medicines; thank you God for hearing my prayers and for sending me Mangosteen. In His grace,
George D. - Alberta, Canada.

NARCOLEPSY / SLEEP DISORDER / CATAPLEXY / BODY PARALYSIS
Here is a short summary of my daughters history. She was born with what we thought was a seizure disorder. When she would get upset and cry she would stiffen up and stop breathing we would give her mouth to mouth. even her brothers and sister would breathe for her if nessasary. When she was about 5 we were able to wean her from her anti seizure meds. At 6 she started sleeping all the time 18-20 hrs a day. We went to doctor after doctor had test after test no one could figure out what was wrong with her. When she was eight a cardiologist suggested that she be tested for narcolepsy. It took two more years to get her tested and diagnosed with it. Narcolepsy is a brain disorder that is thought to be a auto immune disorder where the body destroys the hyprecin cells in thr hypothalumus of the brain these cells secrete a nurotransmitter that causes us to be awake. She also has a condition called cataplexy. Which is a disorder that is often paired with narcolpesy in which when a person feels intense emotion or is startled will have a seizure-like reaction. When this happens the person experiences total body paralysis and will fall....they can be paralyzed for a few minutes up to 20 min or more. They are alert the whole time but are unable to speak or move during that time. She was on provigal 400mg Amitryptalyn 50 mg and effexor 150 mg the provigal helped her to stay awake t/o the day the ammytriptalyn helped her sleep and helped her control the cataplexy but caused her to be extremly moody and nasty. The effexor helped with the cataplexy and boosted the provigal for energy. WE started her on the [Mangosteen-Juice] we were disapointed that we didn't see any benefit right away. We gave her the [Mangosteen-Juice] for 3 mo and still didn't see much response and we decided to try it for one more month about a week into the 4th month she started to improve her teacher called me and asked me what I had given her. She was bouncing off the walls. (she usually slept through class) We have since weaned her off the amitriptalyn, her Provigal is 100mg occasionally for school or church, and the effexor is now down to 37.5mg I tried her with out the meds for two weeks and she did well. On just meds she was up for about 10 hrs a day...on [Mangosteen-Juice] and meds she was up about 16 hrs a day....on [Mangosteen-Juice] alone she was up 12 -14 hrs a day. Her attitude is great we fianlly have our daughter back now we face the challage of teaching her the things that she missed while she slept. She was asleep for 51/2 yrs and awake but not alert for another 6+mo now she is awake and alert. Thanks to [Mangosteen-Juice].

GOUT / BLOOD PRESSURE / HEADACHES - Migraines
Dear Ruth and Charles, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to the Mangosteen juice. I also want to thank Marci H. most specially for introducing you to me. Marci started talking to me about Mangosteen during our March planning meeting last year. I know I wasn't a good consumer target then and I apologize for that. My reluctance for the product last year was purely influenced by my doctor's opinion on alternative medicines - that is, natural herbal and chiropractic. Doctors are not trained to do alternative medicine and I wish they would include this area in medical curriculums. Besides, I have no scientific knowledge about the fruit and its benefits and I didn't want to go into something I didn't know anything about. My daughter Margarita, only 26, has had migraines for years. She's had headaches everyday -mild or strong attacks. Her doctor placed her on three different medications and it did not work. Recently, she was placed on Amytriptillin (an anti-depressant), which the doctor hopes it might work as it sometimes does on other patients. Well, it didn't! This condition really concerned me a great deal and has given me sleepless nights. As a mother, I cannot bear to think that my own daughter is taking Rx drugs just to survive each day; notwithstanding the fact that it could become addictive over long-term use. She is a wife, a mother of two children, and a bank employee. My goal was to make her drug free and pain free. So my conversation with both of you was one that was actually very helpful to me. I had to understand what "xanthones" are. I went to the library, the internet and had my doctor explain it further (he happens to specialize in microbiology). But most of all, I appreciate you both for taking time to drive down to Roseburg and bring the good news to me and my family. Thank you! While listening to you, I was very skeptical (you don't know what was going on at the back of my mind) even if I was aware of the fruit being used in the Philippines in folk medicine. What the heck! I ordered the juice and gave it to my daughter. She took 2 oz. before meals morning and night as you said. Today is her 13th day of taking it and she has had only 1 mild headache, which went away after taking the juice when she felt it was coming (cross my fingers) - as opposed to having it everyday. That's right, everyday! This stuff is unbelievable!!! Having talked to her doctor, Margarita is off of her Amytriptillin and is on "as needed" category for one month. I realized it is a fruit juice. Its not drugs! While the doctors, FDA and the Pharmaceuticals makes us "guinea pigs" - its time to wise up. I figured, I think I should try it myself. I have gout, but this condition has a "coat-tail" for me like high LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol), high blood pressure and thyroid problem. I am on maintenance medication (Atenelol, levoxyl, allopurinol and Norvasc) for two years or so. Interestingly enough, the side effects I have been feeling from taking all these drugs appeared to me as a "norm". Before the holidays, I had a flare-up and my recent blood test showed my liver was insulin resistant. Been on medication for a month or so for this flare-up and I still have pain in my toe joint. It comes and go and never really gone. So, I tried Mangosteen out of curiosity. On the 6th day that I have been taking it, the swelling was gone and I was already pain free! This is an amazing product, I thought. Proof to it was that I was already dancing like anything at Seven Feathers Casino Resort for our New Years Party. I felt my energy is back and I am back to normal "me". I am scheduled for lab work first week of February. I shall see then how it goes. Clearly, it has given me and my daughter good results and I am smart enough to maintain my "low purine diet" and 20-minute exercise everyday. This is not a sales pitch. Just sharing... Ruth, Charles, and Marci, I will forever be grateful to you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

BLOOD PRESSURE / CANCER - Breast
In the last few months I have had many friends and family that have had various successes with their diabetes, eczema, migraines, joint pain etc, but none have hit me to the core like the one that I am about to share with you. I have a friend that has been in my life since we were 14 years old. During our many years of friendship I have become close to her family. Her grandmother passed away to
Breast Cancer, her Aunt had a double mastectomy and her mother has been battling Breast Cancer for the last few years. For these years, her mother has been going to a Homeopathic doctor in Mexico and trying various treatments, the most recent being a 'black salve' that she would drink as well as make a poultice out of and place on the tumor in her breast. (The poultice was supposed to extract the tumor through her skin.) She did no chemo or radiation as she only wanted to go the natural, holistic route. When she went to Mexico for her check up a couple of months ago, she was informed that things did not look well. The tumor had grown and her blood pressure was so high (as it had been for many months) that she was in danger of having a stroke at any time. She told her doctor that her daughter's friend had been telling her about the successes others have had taking Mangosteen juice, but that she hadn't wanted to try it until she had given the black salve an honest try. He told her that while he did not incorporate Mangosteen juice in his practice he had done some research on it and had heard good things about it and that she most definitely should try it. That was 2 months ago and since then she has been consuming from 6-12 oz/day of Mangosteen juice. I received a phone call from her daughter yesterday (here come the waterworks and the goose bumps! -smile) and she had gone in for her 2 month check up and THE TUMOR IS COMPLETELY GONE!! She had a mammogram and an ultrasound and there are no signs of cancer in her body at this time!!! In addition to that, her blood pressure was normal and the pain she has had in her knees for many years is 80% better! This gives new meaning to the words a "new lease on life". Many tears and prayerful thanks later she said that she will NEVER stop drinking Mangosteen juice. Don't lose sight of the incredible gift that we have in our hands with this amazing product. It is just as beneficial for those of us who are blessed with good health and that don't have major health challenges. I truly believe that it will help us stay that way as the years pass so very quickly. (14 months of drinking Mangosteen juice and still not one migraine for me! Considering I have had them every 2-3 months since I was 18...I am one happy camper!! :-) Life is full of "doubting Toms" and "naysayer's"...we run across them every day. I have personally seen the blessings and the hope that has come into too many peoples lives since taking the Mangosteen juice, to allow others negativity to get to me. BELIEVE in this incredible god-given gift that we are fortunate enough to have our hands on....BLESS other people's lives by continuing to share it with others.....It CAN change their lives.
Continued health, blessings, longevity and love to each and every one of you.

BLOOD PRESSURE / CANCER - Breast / ACID REFLUX / FIBROMYALGIA / DIABETES TYPE2 /
I had recurrent breast cancer, and I was going through my third round of chemotherapy (Taxol and Carboplatin) when I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice back in January 2004. I asked my oncologist about this, and he also said not to take an excess of antioxidants for the same reasons mentioned below. But, he said I could get all my antioxidants only from the "food" I eat. So, since mangosteen is a food, I took only 2 ounces (a maintenance dose) a day during chemo and radiation treatments. Once I started taking the mangosteen, I had no more nausea and I never got a cold or the flu which was going around at that time even though my blood counts were low. I did still experience the severe body aches and fatigue from the chemo, however. Once my therapies were over, I went to drinking 6 ounces a day and I have recovered nicely from both therapies & regained my blood counts within 1 month. I have come out of the depression I was in during this recurrence of cancer. I had acid reflux, & was on Prevacid for past 5 years, & now I don't need the Prevacid. I also had borderline high blood pressure, which is now normal. I had Fibromyalgia, which is completely gone also. My husband is blind and a type II diabetic and his blood sugars went from the mid 200s to the low 100s on 6 ounces a day. (It took about a month.) He has had problems with a fungal itch all over his body for a long time, and now that his blood sugars are lower, he is finally showing signs of healing from this fungus. I am a believer in drinking Mangosteen for the rest of my life! I feel great!

BRONCHITIS
For many years I have treated my chronic bronchitis with natural remedies & have been successful. However, as I have gotten older, my symptoms have worsened. During the first week of November, 2004, I had a crisis experience with my bronchitis & asthma; 911 had to be called for a nebulizer treatment. I ended up on 4 prescriptions…I started drinking the mangosteen juice on Nov. 11. Within 2 weeks I was off 1 of the meds & have gradually been decreasing the dosages & meds since that time. After two months of medications, I am no longer taking any prescription drugs for my asthma. I continue to drink 3-4 oz. of mangosteen a day in divided doses & feel great!! During these 2 months, I was under the supervision of the MD & having followed up appointments. I am so grateful for this healing & thank the Lord for Mangosteen juice & all those who have brought it to us.

BURNS - 2nd Degree (see pictures here)
Hello, my name is Carolyn and I live in Henderson, Nevada. I've been happily married for 36 years and the mother of two grown beautiful kids. My husband Lee had burned his thumb on a motorcycle exhaust, and told me that the Mangosteen juice works wonders on burns, relieving the pain. A week later I was so thankful I had Mangosteen juice in the refrigerator because I suffered a 2nd degree burn from hot eyebrow wax. I poured a saucer full of juice and submerged my hand ... it was amazing how quickly the pain diminished. I then got some gauze soaked it in the juice and covered it with ice cubes. Three hours later, I had very little pain at all and the following morning I was still able to go shoot my pistols, rifle & shotgun, in a Shooting Sport that we do, called "Cowboy Action Shooting". The 1st photo below was taken ten minutes after the burn. You can see were I tried to scrape off the hot hardening wax. It was very painful. The 2nd photo was taken just three hours later ... and all the remaining wax just came off easily with the juice soaked gauze. The 3rd photo was just forty-eight hours after my burn. I had no pain ... but of course kept it covered for 2 weeks to keep it clean, and to protect the little blisters that formed. Lee and I have both been taking just 1oz. of Mangosteen juice three times a day for a year and a half now and neither one of us have ever had to take another allergy med ... a real blessing. We also love the taste.

I m agree with you all, Drugs, creams and typical acne cures sometimes work in a partial way but the results are temporary and the side effects are nasty. The tiny handful acne sufferers who have learned how to clear their acne from within and without ever using drugs or over the counters are the only people in the world who keep their skin clear permanently. Now you can learn these clear skin secrets from a nutritionist and a former sufferer who knows from real-world experience exactly how it's done with the knowledge on                                                                                                                                            natural acne treatments

Mangosteen is so popular in fact that its not only the National Fruit of Thailand but also commonly referred to as the "Queen of all Fruits". Legend even has it that Queen Victoria was so enamored with this rare botanical that she offered knighthood to any subject who could bring her a mangosteen in prime condition. Since hitting the shores of the United States, the mangosteen beverage category has consistently been ranked one of the “Top 10 Trends to Watch!” Its even been lauded on the Oprah Winfrey Show by Dr. Mehmet Oz aka "America's Doctor" as an "ancient secret that has strong antioxidants to promote everything from sexuality to longevity."
