GERD - (gasto - esophageal reflux disease)
I had respiratory GERD before starting the juice. I also noticed that it wasn't better right away. The juice was a little strong and a shock at first for my GERD. Once I backed down to 1 ounce 2 times a day, it was Great. I no longer take my meds for my GERD.

“THE JUICE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE” Hello. My name is Nikki and I am 41 years old. I want to tell you about something that changed my life 5 weeks ago, but first, I want to give you a little history about myself. I have been ill since childhood and have seen my health continually deteriorate, particularly over the last few years. I have seen many doctors and specialists throughout my life and have been clinically diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, GERD's (gasto- esophageal reflux disease), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Migraine Headaches, Tinnitus, Allergies, Endometriosis and Reynauds Syndrome. Additionally, I suffer from depression, anxiety, bronchitis & high cholesterol. I have been a walking pharmacy for as long as I can remember. My daily medications only relieved some of my symptoms and, at best, got me through the day; only to start over the next day with the same routine. Here's a list of SOME of the medications that I have taken over the last several years: Wellbutrin, Ambien, Donatal, Lipitor, Pravachol, Nexium, Prevacid, Premarin,
Toradol, Percocet, Darvocet, Imitrex, Zomig, Fioricet, Tylenol 3, Naproxen, Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Benadryl, Motrin, Valium, Celebrex, Vioxx, Medigesic, and Flexeril. Oh, and let's not forget Mylanta for the heartburn I would get from taking all these medications. For many years, every day has been a struggle to get though. Just getting up in the morning was a major accomplishment. The end of the day however was often worse. I would get home from work & promptly fall asleep. The next day, the same scenario would begin again, no matter how many hours of sleep I had gotten the previous night. It was to the point where I no longer had any quality of life. I could do nothing but got to work, then come home and go to sleep. I had no quality time with my husband or my son. Every day I had to struggle to convince myself not to just drive the car off a bridge. I was just so sick and tired of always being sick and tired. About 5 weeks ago, my son was getting married; needless to say, I was stressed out. My back and neck were killing me. My boss sent me to his chiropractor as he was not sure what else to do for me. The chiropractor adjusted me and suggested that I try Mangosteen juice, a new national product he had just received. Adding insult to injury, about 1 week later, my father passed away. I had to leave town for the funeral, but NOT before I picked up another bottle of this product. In the five weeks that I have been "drinking my juice" the change in my life has been overwhelming. If I were not the one experiencing these changes, I would not have ever believed it possible. For the first time that I can recall, I am PAIN-FREE and HEADACHE FREE I have accomplished more at work and at home this last month than in the previous six months combined!!! Now I have a spring in my step and a smile on my face, thanks to Dr. S. for introducing me to this product. The only medication that I now take is Premarin, which I hope to eventually cease using as well. This "Mangosteen juice" has not only changed my life, it has given me the chance to HAVE A LIFE!!!

GERD / EYE / MIGRAINES / MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS / RHEUMATIOD ARTHRITIS
I have had EXCELLENT results from the mangosteen with my MS. My eyesight has improved, including, no more double vision, no more blurred vision, no more problems with depth perception and vision that fluctuates. I have also had improvement in the "pins and needles" sensation in my legs, top of my head, upper right abdomen area, arms and hands. I still have a few occasional bouts in the feet. I also had terrible cramping in my toes and feet... would happen several times a days -- excruciating pain. That has decreased dramatically, only happens rarely now. A numb patch in my right upper thigh has completely disappeared. All migraines have stopped. I would get a pain behind my left eye area when an episode would come on....and I have only had 1 since starting the mangosteen. I also have rheumatic arthritis, and the swelling in my joint areas has greatly reduced along with the pain.....and I was scheduled for stomach surgery on June 21.... which I did not have because the GERD, acid reflux and heartburn ceased when I started on mangosteen (totally unexpected and pleasantly surprising!) I have been able to sleep at nights now...because before I had to try to sleep sitting up because of the stomach problems. MS has been linked to a vitamin D deficiency .... and the latest research in autoimmune diseases is suggesting a link to bacterial infection. I researched to put together the natural, nutritional program I am on.....which I designed through trial and error on my own. I am excited and thrilled to have the results I am experiencing.

PS: Please understand that I have several products I am taking....extra vitamin D and other nutritional products .... I have a complete regime that I follow. I am now taking 8 oz of Mangosteen per day. 2oz in morning, lunch time, dinner and at bedtime. I feel the anti-inflammatory effects and the antibacterial properties of the Mangosteen have greatly improved the quality of my life.
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!
