CANCER - 21 Day Challenge
Cancer is not a death sentence – it’s a word
In July 2006, I was told by a specialist that I would be “dead by Christmas” if I did not have immediate chemotherapy for three cancer lesions found in my liver.
The doctor was unable to provide me with any other alternative . . . either I had chemotherapy, or simply I was going to “be dead within a few months”.
I refused the antiquated method as I was fully aware of its unsuccessful track record now well-documented by numerous modern-day oncologists. (Eg: One report written by three specialists in 2004, after investigating 22 types of adult cancer, concluded the benefits of having chemotherpay increased patient survival by only 2.8% over a five year period).*
In fact, one leading free radical researcher Professor Bruce Ames said recently: “Despite decades of research, in 2003 the same percentage of people died (in the USA) from colon, breast, lung and prostate cancer as died in 1957.”
So very much alone, whilst armed with this knowledge, I decided that I had to immediately start learning to live with my cancer rather than to die from it!
Firstly I knew I had to begin a raw healthy diet; and secondly I had to get into the right frame of mind to tackle my “terminal cancer”.
I had to make a conscious decision to take an active role in my healing process. I had to be more passionate about living. There must be something beyond cancer . . . and I had to become fully-aware that I was loved, valued, supported and that I really mattered to those around me.
In short – I had to gain a new sense of control over my life . . .this wa to be my biggest challenge and due to circumstances my time was running out!
Challenging Cancer For Dummies . . .my journey
Being told by a specialist that I may only have three months to live in July 2006 if I did not have chemotherapy was the most surreal moment of my life because I was definitely not going to subject myself to being injected with a debilitating, toxic and antiquated drug that had a dismal success rate of 2.8%!
As the specialist could give me no other medical alternative as to treating my primary liver cancer and basically telling me to go home and die – it was really up to me to become my own physician.
My initial challenge was to convincingly communicate the logic of my anti-chemotherapy decision to my family explaining that I was going to personally adopt a more healthier lifestyle as part of my healing process. The credibility problem relating to my newly announced “get-well” philosophy lay in two main facts . . . 1) I never had any medical training; and 2) I had never had any previous experience in dying.
Needless-to-say, many a restless night followed wondering about the wisdom of my decision . . . did I have the right to follow my instincts? Was I putting my family in jeopardy etc etc??? It took me less than a week to realise that worrying was not the right way of winning the war. I was letting everyone down (including myself) by allowing my mind to focus on the negatives of having cancer. I had to come up with something positive then immediately go into action with a total commitment to fix my problem faster than a speeding bullet!
First, I had to learn as much as I could about cancer. I was very fortunate to discover an inspiring book written by an Australian cancer survivor, Dr Ian Gawler – “You Can Conquer Cancer, Prevention and Management”. Ian’s holistic and integrated approach to healing cancer was by emphasising a correct diet, using the power of the mind, meditation, gaining family and social support and by adopting a stronger spiritual dimension to life.
Through Ian’s CDs from The Gawler Foundation* I began practising his method of relaxing meditation and later graduating to the powerful visualisation meditation program. It had an immediate effect – I became more focused and involved in my treatment process; also I became strongly aware of being able to direct my mind onto issues that were only important to my survival; and those previous worries I had no longer existed . . . I felt that I was beginning to take charge.
I then met the Director of the National Institute of Integrated Medical Studies, Professor Avni Sah who explained to me the value of taking vitamin supplements. His basic theory is that the food we eat and drink today does not have the necessary vitamins that existed 30 to 50 years ago . . . today’s food has too many chemical additives and to many man-made processes to be adequate for general good health.
So I began taking daily: 4 drops of sodium selenite; vitamins C,D & E, Milk Thstle and Australian fish oil tablets. He also recommended that I should receive at least 15 minutes of sunlight every day and to walk for at least 30 minutes each morning.
It was at this time I discovered a pure fruit beverage called Mangosteen . . . a juice that contains more than 40 Xanthones and one of its derivatives – Garcinone E – had been proven ** to have a potent effect on hepatocellular cancinomas (my type of cancer). I began taking 30 mls three time s a day with meals and gradually increased the daily dosage to 180ml, which I still take today.
*The Gawler Foundation Website: www.gawler.org
** Garcinone E, a xanthone derivative, has potent cytotoxic effect against hepatocellulr carcinoma cell lines. Ho CK, HuangYJ. Chen CC Planta Med 2002 Nov: 68 (11):975 – 9
SO briefy, what is Mangosteen?
It is a small fruit that originated in Southeast Asia and was treasured by natives not just for its sweet flavour but for its nutritional and medicinal value. It is now grown in many countries including Australia and the Americas. The whole fruit is juiced and a 10% mixture of sweeter fruit juices are then added, as the Mangosteen rind is bitter. No added sugar, preservatives or colours are introduced. It is an all fruit beverage. This is why it has to be refrigerated after a bottle is opened.
In early November 2006, I began what is called “The 21-Day Mangosteen Cancer Challenge” whereby I had to consume one 750 ml bottle of Mangosteen, plus drink 2.5 litres of water a day – for 21 days. During this period I visualised in my mind the juice (brimming with its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents) entering my body and going directly to the cancer that was eating into my liver . . . the juice would effectively go about its task of destoying these killer cells; I would then follow up this battle by flushing out their dead remains with galsses of water.
Within the first week the referred cancer pain in my right shoulder went and my energy level had increased to the extent I felt 10 years younger, and also my physical appearance looked that way too.
Two weeks after the challenge, I underwent a routine series of tests and to the total amazement of my specialists . . two of my three cancers no longer existed and the remaining largest one near my portal vein had reduced in size by 50%. My specialist then automatically recommended I should have immediate surgery to remove this lesion, but again I refused his offer much to his utter frustration. Well, Christmas came and went and so did New Year; I then celebrated my 66th birthday in March; had a holiday at Easter and I was feeling the best I had ever felt for many years, and I was looking forward to having my CT scan results in June 2007. I must admit I was somewhat optimistic that I would be told that there had been an improvement in my condition, because I felt so well.
I had my CT-scan at 8am and by noon I was informed that . . . NO cancer whatsoever remained in my body – I was totally clear! My ordeal was OVER! Words could not describe how I felt, in fact it took me almost a week to realise I was capable of living out a normal life.
It became evident to me that the body is capable of controlling and eliminating cancer without man-made drugs. People like myself who can recover from cancer suggest that there is a biology of remission hidden somewhere within the body system. I am reminded of two of the world’s most prominent cancer researchers, Emerson and Cole, who once documented “The existence of spontaneous regression supports the concept of biologic control of cancer and renforces the hope that a more satisfactory method of treating cancer other than surgery or irradiation may be found.”*
On reflection, I am naturally thankful that I followed my heart and ignored my specialist’s recommendations relating to my having immediate chemotherapy and radiotherapy and later surgery. I believe I have listened to a “higher influence” that guided me on the right path during my ncertain journey. The decisions I chose were obviously the right ones for me by adhering to the correct diet and supplements; exercising, meditation to relax and to keep focused. There is no boubt that the 21-Day mangosteen Challenge was 100% beneficial . . .as I said to a freiend late last year: “It may have cost me almost $1000, but it was certainly cheaper than a funeral.”
The past year has been a tremendous learning curve in my life. It has given me greater inner strength and peace. It has also allowed me to confidently speak-out on my own behalf and to comfortably come to the conclusion that at the end of the day:
“Cancer is not a death sentence . . . its only a word!”
*Tilden Emerson and Warren Cole, Spontaneous Regression of Cancer (Philadelphia W.B. Saunders Co., 1966) pp 519 – 520
A MESSAGE OF THANKS TO THOSE WHO SAVED MY LIFE . . .
WORDS cannot express my gratitude to the following people who have helped me throughout the past year:
Firstly to my wife Bernadette who was always there. A typical registered nurse she would sometimes bullyme into a smile whenever I became despondent, or needed a kick to get me motivated. Her love inspired me to believe that everything has a purpose and it was up to myself to tackle whatever challenges came up on the horizon. She never left my side for one moment!
To my loving daugheter Tania and her husband Llewellyn and my grandson Tristan who were continually “there” to give me encouragement and to boost my morale. And of course, my son Sean who was never short in quoting some helpful deep-seeded messages on the meaning of life when I needed it most.
To my friend Dr Dean S – the first person I confided in after finding out I had cancer. His guidance and advice was deeply appreciated and he was never further away than a telephone.
To another medical friend, Dr Lisa M, for pointing me in the right direction during my research into cancer and especially cancer remission.
To my brother Paul, sister Helen, my brother-in-law Mike and their families for their support.
To Barbara S who has always been my “big-sister” inlife . . . for her many successful prayers and sincere support.
To dear Walter A and Cliff P who introduced me to Mangosteen.
To my great friends Bill R, Barry P, Kerry M, Brian G, Mike F and their families, and many . . . many others who stood beside me through-out the battle.
And to my highly-esteemed Catholic mate, the Rev John D who continually prayed for me from his North Coast diocese, although I am a Protestant.
I have been truly blessed!
The editor’s last word
Choices:
When sick, we all have to make hard choices. You can opt to follow a crooked path ignoring your illness and continue to live the life that has caused the problem in the first place. Or you can examine your lifestyle and decide on what changes have to be made to make you well again. It is very much up to you to choose the road you wish to travel. It is NEVER too late to turn your health around, or to make another choice in your best interest along the journey.
Remember when seeking out health choices that old adage:
“That man is wise who gains his wisdom from the experience of another.”
Keep on keeping well!

CANCER - Bladder
Last year was a very difficult time for my family. During Thanksgiving my step-dad who has been like a father to me since I was 12 years old, was diagnosed with Grade Four invasive bladder cancer. At that time he was 51 years old and up until then had always been in perfect health. The news, as you can imagine, was devastating to him and to our entire family. He was told that he would immediately have to go into the hospital for surgery to remove his bladder, and that he would have to endure intensive radiation and chemotherapy treatments. He was also told that quite possibly even if he underwent the extremely difficult surgeries, the risk of the disease coming back would be 80% and he could expect to live five years. He asked if he chose not to have the surgery how long he might be expected to live and was told one to two years at the outside. It's incredibly painful to watch someone you love be told that their life is going to be cut short, that they only have a year or two left. I felt completely helpless. All I could do was pray and be there for him if he needed me. My heart broke at the thought of how my younger brother who was only 12 and my teenage sister, who was 14, would react to the news that their father was so seriously ill. I went to every doctor's appointment that I could with him to help him make the best possible choices. He decided that he would go through chemotherapy but he didn't want to have his bladder removed. Every one of us has to make the best choice for our own life because when it comes right down to it even though you may listen to advice from friends and loved ones, ultimately you're the one who must walk the path and decide what's right for you. He went for his first chemotherapy treatment and the pain was too intense for him to handle. He left the hospital in utter despair knowing that this could be the beginning of the end because he just couldn't handle going through chemo or radiation. He made the bold decision to try an alternative route. I remember feeling upset when he told me but I didn't want to let on how I felt because I wanted him to know I supported whatever decision he made. After all, I wasn't the person dealing with the pain. I wanted him to fight and do whatever it took to get better. I wanted him to live and be there to see my siblings graduate from high school. I wanted him to be there to walk my beautiful little sister down the aisle some day. But he told me that he felt the choice he made was right for him. He had to take drastic measures and move quickly because the disease was spreading very fast and it was a race against time. He tried everything his Naturopath suggested from having his teeth pulled to eating a strict macrobiotic diet. He had IV's put in his arm weekly to try to help him regain his health. But, his body was not responding the way we had hoped. He asked me to help get his affairs in order. That was so painful. As I watched his suffering continue to worsen, I knew that it would take a miracle to save him. We all prayed and kept faith that he would be healed. This extreme way of living went on for a year and in that time he went through a total of four surgeries to remove tumors. My husband Jason and I wanted him to start taking Mangosteen juice - it seemed so simple in comparison to everything else he had tried, but at this point he had nothing to lose. We had heard great testimonials from people who were on the product but we honestly had no idea what the results would be in this case, because of how advanced his illness was. Fortunately, my step-dad was interested and willing to give it a try. We told him to do the 21 day challenge; we couldn't afford to waste any more time. That meant he would have to drink one bottle of Mangosteen juice every day with one gallon of distilled water. He made the commitment to take this challenge in September of 2005. He had just undergone surgery to remove some tumors and was devastated that he seemed to need surgery every 90 days to remove new ones. The cancer seemed to be winning the fight. He was exhausted and frightened enough to seriously consider having bladder removal surgery after all. But even that drastic measure was no guarantee that he would be cancer free. It's important to note that throughout the entire ordeal, even under extreme pressure, he functioned with poise and grace, so much so, it was inspiring to watch him. Convinced that he had made the right personal choice by electing not to follow conventional medical treatments, he exhibited an amazing strength of will and was determined to act on his own to help himself heal. December 21st, just four days before this Christmas, he visited his physician to be examined for recurring tumors. At 1:00pm that day, I received a phone call from him joyfully telling me that he was "100% CANCER FREE!!!" He also said that his doctor had told him that he was the only case he knew of where the patient had regained total health after experiencing Grade Four invasive cancer and that his bladder was now as healthy as that of a person in their thirties. After only four months of taking Mangosteen juice he is cancer free! I couldn't believe my ears - tears of joy fell from my eyes. Our prayers, the prayers of our family and all of our great friends had finally been answered. My step-dad is now cancer free and committed to taking the Mangosteen juice for life. My family has witnessed the power of this supplement first-hand. I know that it can do amazing things for those of you who are experiencing health challenges and for those of you who are blessed with the gift of good health, ask yourself what this can mean for you and your loved ones in terms of disease prevention. This Christmas we hope you will acknowledge and be grateful for all of your blessings and if you're going to make just one new year's resolution let it be to drink your Mangosteen juice every day and tell as many people as you can about the power of this little miracle! Merry Christmas and God bless,

CANCER - Breast / BLOOD PRESSURE
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.

CANCER - Breast / ACID REFLUX / BLOOD PRESSURE / 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!

CANCER - Colon & Rectal
Colon and Rectal Cancer – resolution of liver metastasis in 14 days. My colon/rectal cancer was discovered Sept. 2002. After radiation & chemotherapy, I had surgery in Jan, 2003 in which a section of my colon was removed & given a colostomy. During surgery it was found that I had 5 lesions on my liver, where the cancer had metastasized. I was told that no further surgery could be done on the liver because of the number of lesions. I was further treated with 2 types of chemotherapy to stop the growth of the cancer. The doctor told me that I had 6 months to live if I did not take the chemo treatments and about 18 months to live if I used the chemo. I proceeded with the chemotherapy and in August, 2003, I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice by a friend. I was told about the effectiveness of the xanthones in Mangosteen Juice to fight cancer cells and I decided to try this alternative. I began taking one bottle per day of Mangosteen Juice along with a gallon of distilled water. I did this for twenty-one days. I was previously scheduled for a CAT scan about 14 days into the program. The scan showed that four of the five lesions in my liver were no longer discernable in the scan. My doctor was surprised and asked that I have a more detailed scan, using the MRI. I had this scan and the results confirmed that there was only one lesion left. At this point I had not told the doctor about the mangosteen juice, & still didn’t at that point. The doctor reminded me how I would have only about 1 in a million chance of recovering from liver cancer. He said, "Marty, you may be that one! The doctor then suggested a PET scan. This resulted in confirming the same results as the CT and MRI. There appeared to be just the one remaining lesion, which by then had been reduced to less than one centimeter in size. Then I told the doctor about the mangosteen juice, & gave him some literature. I continued taking the Mangosteen Juice for the remainder of the 21 days & THEN I REPEATED the process for another 21 days. I am still drinking Mangosteen Juice, however, have decreased the amount to 3 - 4 oz / day. I believe that the xanthones in Mangosteen Juice (along with the power of prayer) were responsible for the disappearance of the cancerous lesions in my liver.

CANCER - Colon
It started in January of 2004. I went to the Doctor with a painful stomach. He misdiagnosed the problem and simply gave me some pills. That was a Friday. On Monday at work, I had new symptoms, air and other stuff coming out of my penis. A call to the Doctor came back with "Oh, that's not good" and an appointment with a second Doctor who saw me the next day. He also said "Oh, that's not good", (must have gone to the same school). But he did examine me and found colon cancer. He said it was bad. I took a lot of tests that day and the testers said it would take a week or so to hear back from the doctor. He called the next day and scheduled me for surgery that Sunday with the surgeon voted the best colon-rectal surgeon in Kansas City. After surgery, the surgeon said he could not take it out now and would schedule me for radiation and chemotherapy to try to shrink the melon size tumor so he could attempt to take it out at a later date, although he did say I would probably lose my bladder and prostate. That's two more Doctors. He also hooked me up with a specialist for urinary tract surgery. Note: The cancer, above, had spread from the colon to the bladder, prostate, and spinal column. The doctors concluded that they dared not try to remove the tumor, and cause catastrophic damage (fatal damage), they would try to shrink it first. The chemo and radiation came and went and the surgeon got sadder and sadder every time I saw him. He said he might not be able to take it out, as it was not shrinking. I checked this out on the Internet and found that I would have about a year to live. I was 54 and just met my life partner 4 years ago, (married 3 years ago) & I wasn't willing to let that go…yet.! A, (GOD send), good friend told me of a juice that might help and I went to the surgeon and asked if I could hurt the radiation or chemo and he said I couldn't hurt them and I should try anything and everything that I could think of as they weren't shrinking the tumor. I drank a lot of [mangosteen juice] and 3 weeks later the Surgeon smiled and said, "it's shrinking". At that point I had known him for 4 months and this was the first time my wife (Virginia) and I saw him smile. Two weeks later he said it had appeared to separate from the bone, which meant he could at least remove it, even though that meant sacrificing the bladder and prostate (yes he was smiling again). That meant that I would be able to spend a lot more time with the love of my life. Now the surgery, (Virginia, said I would be just fine and I believed her), I slept through the whole thing but when I awoke and saw my wife grinning from ear to ear (and she has the prettiest smile) I knew it was good news-but I didn't understand how good until I talked to the surgeon. He was like a kid with a new present at Christmas, and said, "this was the worst case of colon-rectal cancer I have ever worked on and it turned out with the best results I have ever had". He also said that radiation and chemo cannot shrink a tumor from melon size to that of a walnut and he also said he does not know how it pealed it self off of the bladder and prostate. The hole in the bladder was healed up and was in great shape and that did not make sense to him. He said this was one of those, once-in-a-practice you can only hope for situations. Needless to say he is now studying [mangosteen juice] for use in his practice.

CANCER - Colon
My mom has been diagnosed with cancer for almost 5 years now, last December they diagnosed her with lung cancer. She had numerous tumors, both small and large. She started taking Mangosteen in June of this year. She went in September for her regular CAT Scan and it showed a remarkable improvement. The larger tumors have seemed to shrink and some of the smaller ones have disappeared all together. I think that the Mangosteen along with the chemo treatment has been remarkable along with her strong will to keep fighting, when she was diagnosed with colon cancer 5 years ago they told her she wouldn't live longer than 2 years and 5 years later she is still doing well.

CANCER - Leukemia
I was introduced to Mangosteen juice by a very good friend, Marlene. She sent me a bottle of Mangosteen juice. Marlene called me about a week later to see how I was doing. I told her I did not take it, so she encouraged me to try it. Initially, when I took it, I did not notice anything differently. On April 1, 2004, Marlene asked me to call a mutual friend of ours, Dr. Armando D. of Arizona. I explained to him that I was hospitalized with leukemia July 3, 2003 for 14 days, and had received 8 pints of blood. My doctor had told me that I was 2 to 4 weeks from being dead. I had lost 80% of my red blood cell count. I told Dr. Armando that I went through the chemo therapy, but I did not want to go through that again. I also told him that my messed up immune system had activated my hepatitis C. The treatment for hepatitis C lasts 48 weeks of taking one shot ($170 each) of interferon per week and one chemo pill ($17 each) every day. Since I did not want to do that, I looked for alternatives. I was invited to a seminar by a friend of mine on alternative healing I even considered going to the Gerson Clinic in Mexico. Dr. Armando advised me to take 3 ounces of Mangosteen juice 3 times a day. I started April 15, 2004. Friends that I had known for many years talked about their personal challenges and also their victories. That gave me hope. There were several things that I did not tell them, such as the 4 lesions in my spleen and the 3 lesions in my liver. The lesions were from the leukemia. I also had 2 nodules under my right arm pit and 1 under my left arm pit. The side effects of hepatitis C made me feel like I had the flu 24 hours a day. I had fever all of the time, my joints ached and my eyes always felt hot. I had 2 to 3 migraines a week, and I always had this feeling that I had a cotton ball in my ear. My viral load count was 270,000. I had no energy, and I was always asleep by 9 PM. Just to try to feel better, I took 2,500 mg of Tylenol, but I did not consider the potential side effects. After 2 weeks of taking Mangosteen juice, symptoms began to go away. My energy level was back to how I felt 3 years ago. On Nov16, 2004, I went for a CT scan and blood tests. I am pleased to say that the nodules under my arm pits are gone. • All of my lesions are gone. • My viral load count is down to 40,000 from 270,000, and my enzyme count is down to 30(normal) from a high of 90. • My liver is functioning normally. • My blood count is up to 14.9 from 12.0, and my platelet count is up to 295,000 from 100,000. I learned from a CD by Dr. Frederic T. that the Mangosteen fruit has something that excites the bone marrow to generate red and white blood cells. I got very excited when I learned this information. I have to say, “Thank you, Marlene for saving my life.” She never gave up on me. It took 6 months, but I finally came around. Never ever give up on your friends … be persistent! I will never give up on my friends that have health challenges because I know that the Mangosteen juice can help. My goal is to share my story with everyone that I know and meet. I truly believe that everyone will benefit when they discover the Goodness of the mangosteen fruit.

CANCER - Lymphoma / IMPOTENCE / DIABETES T2 / FUNGUS
I wanted to share a personal and exciting testimony with the team behind Mangosteen juice. My son in law had share, with my wife and I, a new product he was very excited about. Now mind you, when he gets excited about a product we listen because he knows what he is doing when it comes to supplements and nutrition. I will start with my wife first. She has lymphoma and has been experiencing a lot of pain in her back. We know that the pain was coming from her lungs, due to the fact they continue to fill with fluid. Two days before Thanksgiving we took her to the emergency room because she could not breathe and the pain was excruciating. They did a scan and told her it was not fluid however it could be that the cancer is getting worse, a pulled muscle or another tumor putting pressure on the lung. They did nothing for her & told her she would have to see what the results of the scan was on Monday. My son in-law gave her a bottle of [mangosteen juice] & told her to drink 2 oz a day. 3 days later she had absolutely no more pain. Today she is out and about, went to breakfast with me and is feel great. I just had to sit down and share my excitement. 2 weeks and off all pain medication, great energy, color is good, and doing a lot of shopping and preparation for the holidays which I wasn't even sure I would see a few months ago). Now, here comes the real test of your product! I am a diabetic, take blood pressure medicines and I am 68 years old. I too, started taking the [Mangosteen juice]. I also have a toe that has had fungus on it for years. Today, that toe looks awesome. This is the part of my testimony that is personal and a bit wild. Because of my medication and diabetes I haven’t been able to have an erection for several years, this morning I woke up with an erection! This product is totally blowing our minds! I could not imagine a product that taste great could actually help in so many areas of our health. When he told me all of the benefits of the product I must say it sounded to good to be true. However, today you have made me a complete believer. Update: Two weeks have passed and I can make a tight fist, enjoy making love with my wife, my blood sugar is staying in control, I am walking much greater distances. I want to thank you all for sharing this product with my wife and me! We feel great and the only thing different we have done is added [mangosteen juice] to our diets! It taste great and we feel awesome!

CANCER - Liver & Lung
I wanted to report a very personal story. My daughter and son-in-law live about 30 miles from us. When they called and told us the results of Jon’s test, my husband and I put 2 cases of mangosteen juice in the car and drove to their home within the hour. Jon had just been told he had inoperable liver cancer. On with the story. . . My son-in-law was diagnosed on January 16, 2008 with inoperable lung cancer. His oncologist said the tumor was very large, with ragged edges (not good) and had the portal vein wrapped around it. The next day Jon started on mangosteen juice (1 bottle a day for one month and then ½ bottle a day for the following month). He also did as his oncologist recommended – having just 2 chemotherapy treatments (not one bit sick with them) and 2 radio frequency liver ablation procedures. Jon was somewhat ill with the last procedure and missed either a half day or a day of work. His markers towards the end of March were 12,000, a couple of weeks later had dropped to 6500 – a few weeks after that to 2500 and the last test done around mid May (?) his reading fell in the normal range. He continues to drink mangosteen juice two times a day – about 4 oz in the AM and 4 oz with supper. I asked him if he was going to continue. . . being somewhat of a skeptic (understatement of the world!!!) he stated he didn’t dare NOT drink it and it has now become something he does everyday! Praise God and the founders of this marvelous product! I hope your friend has had similar results.

CANCER - Lung (Adenocarcinoma)
On May 2002, I was diagnosed with lung cancer (Adenocarcinoma). The tumor on my left lung was 5½ cm. in diameter, plus another 2 cm. engulfing my aorta. The thoracic surgeon informed my husband and me that surgery was not possible because of the location of the tumor. He said that just a prick of the needle to the aorta would be catastrophic. The radiologist also said that the fast reaction of the radiation will unplug the holes on the aorta due to highly possible invasion of the tumor on the walls of the artery. The oncologist suggested chemotherapy, if I want to take the big risk. She was however, concerned about the effect of the chemo on the aorta, which could cause internal bleeding. She was only giving me an option because of my age (I was just 48 years old then). She said that if I was older, she wouldn't even consider it. My oncologist presented the worst case scenario, that without the chemo, in 15-18 months it would be downhill for me. With chemo, in 3 months time, when the drug starts to take effect and the result is not good, it might be the end of me. After almost two weeks of deliberation with my family, I decided to have the chemotherapy and take my chance. I had the therapy for 5 months, and with positive results, the radiologist took over and gave me thirty days of radiation. I was in remission from Dec. 2002 to Dec. 2003. Unfortunately, there was a re-growth of about 2cm in the location. Again, I underwent a series of chemotherapy from January to April 2004. This time, the effect of the drug was too much to bear. I lost all my body hair, my finger and toe nails, my taste buds were gone and swallowing was so difficult. My oncologist decided to give me a two-week break. My husband and I took this opportunity to go to the Philippines to be with my loved ones. During this visit, my older sister placed a Jade mattress on my bed. After two days of using it, I was able to have a really good sleep. As a result, my sister insisted we take the mattress with us to Australia. Upon my homecoming, I was scheduled for another series of chemo-therapy with a different drug. However, with just one treatment, the tingling sensation I felt in my toes and legs returned. I explained my situation to my oncologist and she decided to stop the treatment altogether. The therapy was not helping me anymore, it had no effect on the tumor and it had potential to cause more damage to my organs. The doctor made an appointment for me to see a palliative care doctor which I cancelled. I spoke with my Aunt from the United States about the matter. Tess, begged me to try the Mangosteen juice. I was hesitant, but she sent me the first four-bottle batch of juice anyway. I agreed to start drinking the juice on June 17, as a birthday present. Three days upon drinking the juice, 90 mls (3 oz) three times a day, the bloated feeling I had been subjected to during treatment had disappeared. I was able to carry out more activities around the home and before I realized it, I could continue walking and performing house chores for extended periods without feeling short of breath. The quality of my life had improved. I haven't taken any medicine/pain relievers since then. I had the progressive chest and abdomen scan on September 6. The next day upon seeing the oncologist, she commented on my healthy appearance. She read the results of the test, the conclusion stating: "Near complete resolution of the left pleural effusion. Otherwise stable features with no evidence of disease progression." She displayed the films to us, explaining "there is no evidence of cancer cells, only the scarring caused by radiation. Congratulations, you can now enjoy your life again!”

CANCER - Ovarian / 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.

CANCER - Pancreatic
In 2000 my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As we finally began to recover from the shock our family pulled together as a team to support mom and help to find a possible cure for this terrible invader. We found a myriad of possible remedies, some that even did some good, but all in all the best we could hope for was to comfort dad’s pain. The diagnosis gave him six to twelve months to live and even the few minor improvements that came from time to time, we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were losing our father to cancer. Dad went from various chemotherapies to surgery to radiation with little or no results, when the doctor’s decided to begin some experimental drugs. In August of this year a good friend in the church told us about mangosteen juice, a health supplement that strengthens the immune system and has had phenomenal results in helping so many people recover from life threatening illnesses. At this point dad was not eating and couldn’t do anything but sit in pain in his recliner and watch TV. He was just biding time. After seeing him that way we decided to try my friend’s suggestion & order a case of mangosteen juice, at least give it a try. We had nothing to lose. Three weeks after he began using the mangosteen mixture he was up with the family for Labor Day, camping the way he used to do. He was active, eating well and ready to indulge in a game of horseshoes with any challengers. No one could believe it, but we were all grateful to have him looking so well and actively enjoying his family again. The following week he was called into the doctor’s office to get the results of his Catscan when the doctor told him that there was no sign of a tumor! Furthermore his blood work was back to normal. He has stopped taking all but one of his medications and is just planning on using that one up. Mangosteen juice was the only thing different during this remarkable recovery and we are so very grateful to have been blessed with such a phenomenal product. We owe our father’s recovery to mangosteen juice!

CANCER - Pancreatic
My Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2005. He has undergone 2 surgeries and was told in June the tumor was on the portal vein and his body had created a new vascular system and additional surgery was not an option. He had gone through 6 weeks of chemo and radiation in April and May and had been looking forward to getting the tumor removed, so the news in June was disappointing to say the least. The Surgeon told him, to go home and get stronger and when he began having symptoms again, they would address it and hopefully he would have a good year. During all this time everyone "all of you" have been saying prayers and Dad has faithfully been drinking Mangosteen juice (that has excellent results with cancer as well as many other inflammatory illnesses). This week Dad went back to get his blood work from his family Doctor and was told the tumor was "inactive" according to the tumor markers in his blood work. He said - You've had a miracle, Jack, keep doing everything you are doing! The test is called: CEA test and is a tumor marker. Dad's was 2 (Normal is 0 - 3). When Dad was first diagnosed with cancer, this marker was at 137, NOW IT'S NORMAL! THANK YOU GOD!!!! Thank all of you for all your prayers and please, .please keep it up. Dad isn't changing a thing he is doing. He believes the prayers, mangosteen, and all our faith have given him this time. I believe I was told about mangosteen as a means to help Dad and our whole family at this time in our lives. Thanks for all your prayers !

CANCER - Prostate
“I was diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate Cancer and given 3-6 months to live!”
In February of 2005, I was given 3-6 month to live after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. My PSA score was 1500. I started chemotherapy and became very ill, unbearable hiccups; bad breath; pain; fatigue; weakness and I could not walk without a walker. In March of 2005, I learned about the Mangosteen Juice with Xanthones. I wanted to believe everything that I heard and read but was afraid to take it with the chemotherapy. I got to sick after three chemotherapy treatments, I was getting weaker and weaker. I fell and I could not get up, I went to the hospital and they told me I would had to start injecting myself daily and that the medication would cost $ 4,000 for a ten day supply. One hospital bill alone was over $46,000. I had no medical insurance. I was left for dead. I turned to God. I prayed for a healing and then I decided to give the Mangosteen Juice a serious try in March 2005. My prayers were answered immediately. The first day I had more energy that I could remember and my horrific bad breath went away. In two days the pain was subsided and I did not need the walker anymore. I started to feel stronger and stronger. I drank a 25 once bottle [Mangosteen Juice] a day. On May 1, 2005 my PSA score had gone from 1500 to 3. I am now cancer FREE. I feel terrific. I am so thankful to be a alive and well. I will drink [Mangosteen Juice] for the rest of my life and encourage everyone who wants to restore his health to do the same. I thank God for [Mangosteen Juice] and so will you. The Best of Health to You,

CANCER - Stomach, Colon, & Prostate
On July 18, 2004, we left Brooke Army Medical Center in despair. Marshall (73) had just been released after undergoing colon cancer surgery. He had cancer in his intestines, his stomach cavity lining, and his colon. He had also undergone treatments for prostate cancer. The Doctors at BAMC told him he only had 4 months to live, and maybe 5 months, if he took chemotherapy. He said to his doctor that he didn't want to take the chemo, and he didn't. We told our good friend Jim about this and he said he knew of something which might possibly help. At that point, Marshall could barely walk, was very weak, had no energy, was ashen gray, and literally looked like "a walking corpse." It was like he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. Marshall was also very
depressed, and so was I. Jim took us to see his friend, Ed, and they told us all about the scientific research reports they had read about the "Garcinone E Xanthone" in the pericarp of the Mangosteen fruit, and had learned at a recent seminar. They spoke with a doctor who said there were no guarantees, or any claims that could be made, but he said that if he had these conditions, he would follow the doctor's advice, and also take a 25oz bottle of mangosteen extract a day for 21 days, along with a gallon of distilled water every day, and then go on 6oz a day of mangosteen and be re-tested. Marshall did just that. After the first 21 days, Marshall went to drinking 6oz a day (3oz in the am and 3oz in the pm), of the mangosteen juice, with lots of water. On Nov. 29, 2004, over four months after his diagnosis, Marshall had blood work done, & on Dec. 9, 04 a CT scan was done at Brook Army Medical Center. A few days later, the doctor met with Marshall and me, and said "it really looks good; there are just a few small spots left, with nothing life threatening." Marshall is now feeling and looking really good. He has his strength and his life back. We walk a mile a day and dance every Friday night. We are so thankful to God and for Jim and Ed for introducing us to the Mangosteen Juice! This Christmas will be a Very Special Christmas for us, because last July, it definitely appeared that Marshall would not be alive this Christmas.

CANCER - Thyroid
Last December I felt this strange lump in my throat that literally came out of nowhere and ended up twice the size of my adam's apple in just a week's time. Some examinations and a biopsy later, the doctors told me they think it's thyroid cancer and that I'd have to have the thyroid surgically removed. About the same time a friend poked me and said, "dude you should try this mangosteen juice. It's good stuff!" So I said okay and bought a single bottle just to see if I liked the taste. I liked it, so after my return from my month-long sabbatical to Georgia I decided I'd drink a full case (4 bottles) and went through about 3 bottles before the surgery was came up. The day of the surgery, just before I was gonna go under the knife, my doctor took me aside and told me that he was going to remove half my thyroid to take a look at it over the next few days, and if it was cancerous he'd open me back up and remove the other half too. He warned me that from what he saw it probably was cancer, so I should be prepared. Well, next day I get released from the hospital, and the day after that my doctor called me and said, "Michael, I have good news! Your thyroid doesn't show any signs of cancer. You're good!" He never said if I previously had cancer or if it ever existed, and all I have to go on is the needle biopsy where the doctor said "uh oh," and that's good enough for me. I believe the Mangosteen juice played a role in eradicating my cancer, and I guarantee you I'll be drinking this for the rest of my life.

CHOLESTEROL / ALLERGIES / WEIGHT LOSS
In 1995 I came down with Chemical Allergies. I couldn't be around any thing that had a fragrance. Every thing in my house that had a smell had to go, like deodorant, hair sprays, perfumes, soaps, washing power and so on. I had to put a sign on my door to keep people out that even had fabric softer in their clothing. I got to the point I couldn't go to any ones house or go to church. I was a prisoner in my own home. I took shots, tried every thing anyone would tell me about and spent thousands of dollars for no change. My outing was to go to the store, stay away from everyone and hold my breath when I got close to the washing power isles. Even though I would hold my breath my noise would steal burn but I wouldn't cough. When I heard about the mangosteen juice I was told it may lower my Cholesterol because I couldn't take the medication to lower it. Well I started taking 2 oz a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. After being on the juice for 6 days I had to go to the store, I held my breath as I had done for so long and walked passed the washing power. To my surprise my nose didn't burn, so I walked back and smelled the air, no burning and no coughing. That was January 2004, I can go anywhere I want now and never get sick with anything. My Cholesterol is great, and I lost 32 pounds in 6 months without even trying. The Xanthones in the mangosteen seem to know just what to fix in our bodies. I Will never get off MY MANGOSTEEN.

CHOLESTEROL / NECK PAIN / HEADACHES
My name is Yvonne. I have been been taking Zocor, a cholesterol lowering drug, for well over 10 years. My cholesterol levels have been in the 235-250 range. Both of my parents also had high cholesterol levels. After being on mangosteen juice for the past several months, the effects have now apparently kicked in, because my latest blood test came in this week at 194!! That's a 50 point drop from my last test, at a level of 244. The only thing different that I have done in my daily intake is to introduce mangosteen juice into my daily diet (I take 4oz, 2x a day on a regular basis.) I have taken this amount of mangosteen to help handle the pain and headaches following neck surgery in which 3 vertebrae in my neck were fused, 3 disintegrated discs were replaced with bone from my hip, and the 3 fused vertebrae were secured with a titanium plate and 4 screws. The mangosteen has done a better job of handling my neck pain and headaches than the prescription and over the counter drugs that were prescribed. Prior to my pain relief experience, I had been very skeptical of what mangosteen might do for my pain, and that is a big understatement. This latest result of having a 50 point drop (from 244 to 194) in my cholesterol level has made me a big believer.

CHOLESTEROL / TRIGLYCERIDES / GERD / ARTHRITIS / RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS / SLEEP
I am 71 years of age and have many health issues - high cholesterol, high blood pressure, GERD (acid reflux), degenerative disc disease, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pacemaker (AV heart block) and peripheral neuropathy. I am not a diabetic. At my last physical in August my doctor ordered an additional cholesterol medication. I did have it filled but have not started taking it. My desire for months has been to delete the Lipitor, not add another one! My 34 year old daughter, Kris, was getting pretty excited about a Mangosteen juice she had been taking for a few weeks. She literally bounces in and out of our house and has energy I long for. Her concern for my health caused my husband and me to attend a very informative meeting on Mangosteen. I started with a bottle the next day drinking 2oz. 3 times a day. The third day I felt bad, achy and tired. I remembered what I had heard at the meeting and had read. I realized my body was getting rid of toxins, so I continued with the juice. Symptoms were gone the next day. The next several days I noticed some great changes - peaceful rested sleep, nighttime post nasal drainage stopped relieving the need for continuous swallowing, and renewed energy. When I vacuumed my entire house, I did not have a bad back ache! I stopped taking Tylenol PM totally. I stopped taking Colace 2xs/day totally. I had surgery on hammer toes (each foot) involving bones, pins and sutures in mid–September. I healed beautifully with no swelling or bruising and no pain. My doctor was amazed and very pleased. After walking on my heels for two weeks, I had no back pain. My chiropractor is amazed at how well I am doing and is now looking at Mangosteen too.. I am now drinking one ounce three times per day and anticipating more good results. Update: In November, my mom had multiple tests run at Mayo Clinic. Her blood pressure has come down into normal range. Her cholesterol has dropped from 217 to 191, including a drop of 90 points in her triglycerides. Her bone density has improved since her previous test in 2002. Her doctor's report reads: "Since your previous analysis dated August 28, 2002, you actually have an increase in your bone density of 7.6% in the spine and of 2.6% in the hip. This is very good news, as at your age we typically mainly see stability or decrease in the bones and rarely see actual increases in the bone density…At this time, I would not start the liquid Fosamax therapy as it does seem like your bones have improved…we do not need to add any more medications at this time."

CHOLESTEROL / TRIGLYCERIDES
I have high cholesterol about 220-230 and my triglycerides were about 300 for more than 6 years. Between the year of 2006 and 2008, I have gained 12 pounds because I wasn't watching my diet. In October of 2006, I went to see my doctor for my annual physical check up. In the back of my mind, I know my cholesterol and triglyceride will go up because of my weight gain. When my doctor found out that I have gained weight, he shook his head. Believe me that says everything, but in the back of my mind, I believe and have confidence in the mangosteen juice. When the results came, my cholesterol has drop to 185 and my triglycerides drop 60 points still high but have improved. Even though I have gained weight, (which it is bad) but all of my results have improved. I have been drinking this 100% mangosteen juice for more than 10 months before my physical check up. My whole family's healths have improved thanks to the mangosteen juice. Everyone that I know who has been drinking the mangosteen juice more than 90 days is amaze on how their healths have improved.

CHOLESTEROL / ARTHRITIS - Rheumatoid / BLOOD PRESSURE / 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.

CHOLESTEROL / ENERGY / HEART - Arrhythmia
In June of 2004 I began taking Mangosteen. At that time I was taking Lipitor, Toprol XL and something else that I can't remember at the moment, for heart problems, one of which was arythmia. I was also taking Benadryl 2 or 3 times a day for allergies. Before I started the mangosteen, I tried mowing the lawn with a walk behind mower and could not finish it. When I began taking the mangosteen, I couldn't believe the difference! Shortly thereafter, I ran out of one of the drugs. I thought, I'll try this without taking the drug. I quickly felt better yet. By the 1st of August (2004) I had quit all of the drugs. I too think my irregular heartbeat was caused by something I took. I haven't taken anything other than the mangosteen since August. I feel great, I have all kinds of energy for whatever I want to do. I sleep good, have lost some weight and my heart irregularity is gone. My blood pressure runs about 130 over 80 and I'm 61 years old. By the way, we have 3 different properties and I can now mow all three of them with the walk behind mower just as quick as I can get from one to the other. I believe in this product and recommend it for anything. I don't think anyone should quit the medication they are on until they see what is going to happen. But, I firmly believe that some of the problems we have are caused by the prescription medications they put us on.

COPD - (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) / BLOOD PRESSURE / CHOLESTEROL /
............................................................... .. DIABETES / PARKINSONS / HEART - Congestive Heart Failure / ANGINA / KIDNEY FAILURE
This is my story about the Mangosteen fruit. I was 59 years old when I was released from a hospital at the end of October 2003 with some serious health problems. The doctors had told me that I had Parkinsonism, rapid eye movement disorder associated with Parkinsonism, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), angina, and kidney problems. I was sent home on four liters of oxygen and a suit case full of drugs. These are medications that I was on: Atenolol 25mg, Candesartan Cilexetil 16mg, Nitroglycerin 0.4mg tab., Nitrogycerin 0.4mg/hr patch, Lovastatin 20mg, Carbidopa 25/Levodopa 250mg, Entacone 200mg, Clonazepam 1mg, Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, Glyburide 8mg, Albuterol 90mcg., Advair 500mg. Foradil Aerolizer, Albuterol Sulfate. I would wake up every morning and walk from my bedroom to the couch, a distance of about 30 feet. I literally fell to the couch because I was completely out of breath. My skin color was turning to an ashen color and the skin under my finger nails was dark blue. A friend came over to see me and brought me a case of Mangosteen juice. He told me to take it and said that it might help me. He was telling me all the helpful things that this product would or could do. I was very skeptical at first how could a fruit have so much healing power & work on all the organs in the body at the same time. I asked my doctors about it and they never heard of the fruit. They told me that it would not hurt me to try. I started taking three ounces three times a day and was hoping for an instant cure. It did not happen! I did not feel anything at all until I had finished my third bottle. I noticed that I was sleeping the whole night through and that a little energy was coming back. I could walk from the bedroom to the couch and was not huffing and puffing. After a month on [mangosteen juice], my blood sugar was back down into the 140-150s which was not bad since a month before it was in the 300s. My blood pressure was dropping from 180/90 to 120/70 and my tremors had stopped! I was also checking my oxygen absorption and noticed that it increasing which is a good thing. I would be getting readings of 88-89 at rest & when I moved around the level dropped to 80-81 before any Mangosteen juice. At the end of a month on [mangosteen juice], my readings were 94-95% at rest & moving the level stayed the same! I began cutting back on all my medication gradually and was taking readings from all my machines. I noticed that when I was cutting back on my medications that I was feeling less and less fatigued. By Christmas time, I was off ALL my medication and oxygen and I had reduced my [mangosteen juice] to only two ounces three times a day. I am still taking Two ounces three times a day. To me this is a miracle fruit and I tell everybody about it. I will be glad to talk to anybody about this product.

CRAMPS / MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Hi, my name is Ed. I was diagnosed with MS 16 years ago. I was introduced to [Mangosteen Juice] by Jeff F. in September of 2005. I am an optimist who is always looking for sucess and got a bottle of [Mangosteen Juice] 15 minutes after our introduction. I had my hand clawing on my left side. I had limited use of that hand. Since taking [Mangosteen Juice], I now can outstretch my fingers, pick things up and am gaining some feeling in those fingers. I also had sever cramping 24/7 in my feet. The cramps gave me a feeling of walking on marbles or stones in my bare feet. I no longer have these cramps. I for one will swear by the use of the [Mangosteen Juice] product.
