SINUS INFECTIONS / MIGRAINES / ASTHMA / ALZHEIMER'S
To Whom It May Concern: My name is Barbara and I am General Manager of an adult care home in Arizona. A few months ago, one of our residents' daughters brought a bottle of Mangosteen juice to our adult care home to try on her mother who has Alzheimer's disease. This resident is 86 years old. The results were amazing. Prior to taking Mangosteen juice, she was sleeping most of the day and it was very difficult to carry on a conversation with her. Now, after taking Mangosteen juice for approximately three months, she is alert during the day, vibrant and easy to communicate with. Since her results were so exciting, we began giving Mangosteen juice to four of our other residents with outstanding results. Resident 1 is a 72 year old Alzheimer's patient who prior to taking Mangosteen juice was sleeping all day, would not communicate and could not feed herself. Now after two months on Mangosteen juice, she does not sleep all day, she is alert, communicates with others and feeds herself. Resident 2 is an 86 year old Alzheimer's patient, is blind, has very stiff muscles, she has not talked or opened her eyes for several years and is bed bound. After being on Mangosteen juice for approximately two months, she now talks at times, moves her arms and legs occasionally and communicates without screaming. She now opens her eyes and is aware of her surroundings. Resident 3 is a 76 year old who has Parkinson's disease. Prior to taking Mangosteen juice she was very quiet, stayed in her room all day. Now after two months on Mangosteen juice, she comes out of her room for meals, is a lot stronger, her appetite has increased, and she now walks with minimal assistance. Resident 4 is a 94 year old who is very frail, has transfusions every three months, has a poor appetite and is anemic. Now, after being on Mangosteen juice for almost two months, she is eating well, much stronger and very happy. After seeing the wonderful results that the residents were experiencing, I started taking Mangosteen juice myself. I was suffering from migraine headaches. I have now gone several months with no migraine headaches. When I begin to feel the symptoms of a migraine, I double up on the Mangosteen juice dosage and do not have migraines. My energy level has also increased since being on Mangosteen juice. I am also giving mangosteen juice to my nine year old son who suffers from asthma and sinus infections year round. After taking Mangosteen juice his asthma medications have been decreased. When a sinus infection flares up, I double the dosage of Mangosteen juice and his sinus infection is gone in two to three days. Also, my four year old niece had no appetite, would vomit at the sight of food, and was very skinny and pale. She has been on Mangosteen juice for several months. She is now eating very well, has gained weight, and has rosy cheeks and less sinus infections. Mangosteen juice has truly been a miracle in a short period of time for my family and for the residents at the facility I manage.

SLEEP
I was always plagued by restless sleep - tossing & turning through the night, waking at the softest noises ...I hve slept like that for 8 years+ (that i remember). Now i generally sleep right through the night - i typically take a single dose of 30mls daily, but 2 doses if everyone is sick around me or Im stressed (for prevention).

SLEEP
I used to wake up for a couple hours each night, tossing & turning. Since the juice, I sleep right through the night. I take 1 - 2 ounces 2-3 times a day.

SLEEP / FIBROMYALGIA / IBS / ACID REFLUX / HEADACHES / CRAMPS / STOMACH PAIN / 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.

SMOKING / ARTHRITIS - Rheumatoid / BLOOD PRESSURE / CHOLESTEROL
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.

STENOSIS
Carotid artery: Stenosis is the narrowing of the carotid arteries. These are the main arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Before I give my testimony, I wish to thank God, Doctor Barbara S., my husband, and Mangosteen Juice … in that order. I was raised in Blackpool, England on the typical English diet of fat, refined Carbohydrates, and no nutritional supplements. However, I appeared to be in good health. I eventually became a professional ice skater, toured the world, and came to America under contract with Ice Capades in 1954. I had no apparent symptoms of any health challenges for over 70 years. Dr. T. says you don’t feel prevention. I might add that you don’t feel artery blockage either – until it is too late! When I married Leonard in 1994, I did not believe in nutritional supplements or botanicals. Leonard, who had been marketing supplements since 1975, insisted I start a nutritional program of prevention. We later moved from Newport to Las Vegas in 1997 on my 65th birthday. Five years later, I started experiencing numbness in my left arm with occasional sharp pains. A few times, I would become disoriented while shopping. On rare occasions, my words did not match my thoughts. Leonard is always doing that, so I figured it came with age… and he’s healthy. Leonard and I do not depend upon doctors for our health, but we do believe in emergency treatment. I scheduled an appointment with my Medicare doctor. I had to wait 3 weeks for the appointment. In the meantime, Bob S. introduced us to the Mangosteen Juice. The symptoms disappeared so I cancelled my appointment. 30 months later, I started experiencing some minor numbness in my other arm along with the disorientation. A few weeks ago, while attending a Rick T. presentation in Las Vegas, I clung to Leonard while entering the theater. I did not know where I was for a few seconds. It quickly passed so I did not mention it to him. We introduced our doctor to the Mangosteen in March, 2006. After one of our home presentations, Anne mentioned to Barbara about her recent symptoms. Dr S. became alarmed and ordered two MRIs, an ultra sound, an angiogram, and a holter monitor. Dr S. pushed all of them through in 3 days. A Medicare record, I do believe. All my systems were go, with one exception - the angiogram revealed that the carotid arteries on both sides of my neck were 90% blocked! 90%! Had I kept my appointment 3 years ago, the blocked carotid arteries would have been discovered. It is our opinion that the xanthones in the Mangosteen helped with just enough blood flow to my brain to prevent me from having a major stroke. I believe the return of the minor symptoms was divine intervention. The symptoms sounded the alarm. I now know that these were mini-strokes. Now for the rest of the story: I had surgery on my left carotid artery first. I was in the hospital for five days. The swelling and discomfort were tremendous. It was so bad that they put off the second surgery for two weeks. During the five days in the hospital, I did not drink any Mangosteen Juice. All I got in the hospital was orange and grape juice, and broth. Leonard brought in a chest full of Mangosteen Juice during the second surgery on my right carotid. I drank Mangosteen within hours after the surgery. I was released 14 hours later with no swelling or discomfort. The difference was like night and day! I was on solid food the next morning after surgery. Did Mangosteen make the difference? Who knows? There might have been a challenge during the first surgery that the surgeon did not mention, but I have to believe that Mangosteen Juice made the difference in my recovery, just like Bob S’s recovery after cancer treatment.

STROKE / STRENGTH / DEPRESSION / BLOOD PRESSURE*
My Name is Bob and I had a stroke in August 1998, which left my left side paralyzed. After six weeks of inpatient therapy I was able to walk again (enough to be dangerous). As luck would have it, in June 2003, after one of my many falls, I broke my left hip bone and after surgery and six weeks confinement I lost the strength to be able to walk by my self. In June 2004, I started taking Mangosteen. There have been some subtle improvements in my overall condition such as pain relief in my hip. I was wearing a pain patch and after a month on Mangosteen I was able to stop the patches and now am using an occasional Tylenol arthritis to manage any pain. I have had some improvement in my overall strength, a lessening of depression, lower blood pressure, which lowers my risk of more strokes. With the risk of heart attacks lowered and cancer prevention why would anyone that's been told about mangosteen not take it?? My summary is yes it will help stroke victims. Every stroke victim is different because we are dealing with brain damage. Overall we hope that Mangosteen will help the brain rewire its self. I intend to find out. Sincerely,
Bob N.
