BLOOD PRESSURE / ENERGY / JOINT PAIN / 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.

BLOOD PRESSURE / PSORIASIS (Physician Testimonial)
My name is Thomas E. L. Jr. M.D., and I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I started using Mangosteen juice at the rate of one ounce three times a day beginning on July 12, 2004. I've had moderately severe Psoriasis for over 15 years. One week after starting on the juice I noticed a very definite improvement in my Psoriasis. I am not on any medications for Psoriasis. I also noted a definite drop in my blood pressure. My usual average BP checked 3 times a day was 144/90 (No BP meds.). After I started the mangosteen juice, my Bp averaged 117/70 taken morning, Noon & Night. I was also having a lot of arthralgia in my hips, knees, & back, which is completely gone now. I am currently on Zocor 20mg a day for cholesterol. After my next Lipid Panel I may drop the Zocor if my levels are lower than usual to see if the mangosteen juice will KEEP it down by itself.

BLOOD PRESSURE / ARTHRITIS - Rheumatoid / CHOLESTEROL / SMOKING
I was diagnosed with Chronic Rheumatiod Arthritis in October of 2004, after suffering several months of incredible joint pain that litterally stopped me dead in my tracks on many days. For the whole month of July 04, I took 2400 mg of Ibuprofen each day to little avial. In August,I was placed on 60 mg of Prednisone per day to control pain and inflamation. At diagnosis, I was on 30mg of Prednisone daily, and placed on Methotrexate weekly, Plaquin daily, and Sulfasalazine daily. In addition, I suffered with High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and I smoked a pack a day. I started drinking the incredible Mangosteen juice in December of 2004. By January, I noticed some incredible results. Today, I am a non-smoker (no withdrawals from smoking), I no longer take Prednisone, Sulfasalazine and no longer take blood pressure medicine (Diovan). My blood pressure is normal, and I suffer no more pain. I am occasionally stiff, but I attribute that to the 2 - 3 mile walks I now take every day! My goal is to be 100% Medicine Free in the next 3 months. My doctors are amazed at the results, and I tell them and everyone else it's all about the juice!!! I started out drinking 3 ozs. per day. I started seeing major results when I upped my amounts and to this day continue to drink 6 to 8 ozs. per day. That's 2-3ozs with each meal. My goal is to reduce that to 2-3 ozs. per day for maintenance in a few months.

BLOOD PRESSURE / KIDNEY - Failure / DIABETES
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.
BLOOD PRESSURE / VENOUS LEG ULCERS (see pictures here)
I've been a hairstylist and salon owner for about 30 years and as a result of standing on my feet for extended periods of time (and some hereditary factors), I have severe varicose veins. About 3 years ago I developed venous ulcers in/on my ankle, which are large deep wounds due to poor return circulation -- the blood pools in my ankle and causes ulcers from the inside -- out. I have worked with many doctors and specialists, gone to a Wound Care Clinic, wrapped my leg with a lot of compression bandages and sponges, and worn the strongest support hose available. I'd only ever get them partially healed, then a busy time in the shop would just make them flare up again. I was told by more than one vascular surgeon that surgery was the only remaining option so I started the proceedings to get the surgery done in March of 2004. I waited 7 months to get insurance company approval but only after sending pictures to prove it was not cosmetic. I even had to sign a release form which stated the surgery wouldn't guarantee anything. On top of all this, for years I had been dealing with high blood pressure and severe allergies. I was taking Lotensin 20mg and a diuretic still having problems keeping my BP under 140/98 ... sometimes higher. I was introduced to Mangosteen juice in October, 2004 by an old classmate I hadn't spoken to in 30 years (God Bless Him)!!! After 10 days, my blood pressure had dropped to 110/75 ... as for my ankle ... "A picture speaks 1000 words" ... I was glad I'd taken pictures for the insurance company. The infection and gout had been totally drawn out and my ankle was almost a normal color for the first time in 3 years I was drying out the Mangosteen juice into a paste and using it topically as well as drinking 3-4 ozs. a day. After 6 weeks my ankle was totally healed on both sides and I hardly even have a scar. I believe in Mangosteen juice. After consulting my doctor, I'm only taking 10mg's of my blood pressure medication and my BP is averaging 105/75. My allergies this fall were non-existent, no cold, nor flu, not even a sniffle. I have loved my career as a hairstylist ... it's been extremely gratifying to help people look and feel better everyday. But sadly ... because of my legs, I found myself searching for another career. Thanks to Mangosteen juice, I now have a choice ... it has changed my life and the lives of the people I love and care deeply about.

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.

BURNS
On Christmas morning, my husband was frying some eggs in bacon grease. Colton walked by just in time to have his face splattered by some of the hot grease. He got it under his right eye, on the inner point of his right eyebrow, right under the center point of his hair line, and very close to the corner of his mouth on his left cheek. He was screaming in pain and the burns instantly blistered and were an angry red. While my sister was holding him, I put some chilled Mangosteen on the burns. In about 45 minutes the redness was gone and he wasn't screaming anymore. (We had given him a small dose of infant Motrin as well.) The blisters were gone as well. He did not complain about the burns at all for the rest of the day, or for that matter, ever again. The burns healed fine and there are no remaining scars.

BURNS - 2nd Degree(see pictures here)
I'm a single father of two young boys and the owner of a custom paint and body shop. I suffered 2nd degree burns from an accidental workshop explosion. These Photos are done as a sequence. The first photo is August 29th, 2005 and the 17th photo is September 5th, 2005. As you can see, my hand was not burned as badly as my face. I decided to use 'mangosteen juice' on my face and only do what the hospital and Doctor instructed, for my hand. Photo 17 clearly shows the different speeds of recovery, my face healed so much faster with the 'mangosteen juice'. I was told initially that recovery could be as long as 4 - 6 months, and to get used to the idea of a full beard for a long while ... I shaved exactly 7 days after the accident.
