VENOUS LEG ULCERS / BLOOD PRESSURE (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.

VITILIGO
Yes, it does help with vitiligo. I was able to do my yard work this summer without covering my arms for the first time in years. I had no burning or itching whatsoever from the sun. This is the first sign of hope for me. It came as a complete surprise.

VITILIGO
I have a 14 year old son with vitiligo, he has patches around the eyes, elbows and knees, he started drinking 4 oz of mangosteen a day and the pigments in his face went back to normal, the knees and elbows aren't as bad anymore but they did fade in color
Hope this helps,
