Personal experiences with mangosteen

Personal Experiences with Mangosteen

The following have been sent to
J. Frederic Templeman MD and Les Berenson MD, FACP,
detailing personal experiences using Mangosteen juice (rev. 10-12-05)
NOTE: Get back with the XanGo Distributor who referred YOU to this information!
Please also note that XanGo, makes no medical or therapeutic claims about their
product, XanGo. XanGo is made with the whole Mangosteen fruit that is rich with
Xanthones. Xanthones have been researched by independent scientists & medical do
ctors. who have no affiliation with XanGo.
Many of the abstracts of their papers can be found at www.pubmed.com ( type in t
he search box :mangosteen , garcinia mangostana or xanthone).
Any testimonial you hear or read about is not to suggest that you might have the
same reaction. We merely say, "Try XanGo and see what benefits you receive."
What is a Testimonial
Every patient that goes to see their physician provides them with their own pers
onal experience – (their own testimonial).
The physician based on their judgment, training and insight will interact and tr
eat the patient that day based on their testimonial. Practitioners DO NOT enter
each one of their patients in randomized controlled trials.
These personal experiences or testimonials should be looked at no differently.
The individuals writing these stories had for the most part already reached out
to the traditional medical model which was unsuccessful.
We should celebrate that a modality exists to help people in such a profound way
.
We should also celebrate that Mangosteen juice does so with no toxicity.

Severe Migraine Headaches
26yrs ago I launched a medical & surgical supply business in one of my husband's
five pharmacies. Ironically, That began migraine headaches that got worse as I
got older. They were consistently lasting 3 days out of every 10-12. I tried eve
ry new drug that could be prescribed, Xert, Immitrex. Fiorinal with codeine just
to name a few. In Nov of 2002, I began taking this magical botanical juice that
contains the entire husk pureed of Mangosteen. And over a period of about 3 mon
ths, I noticed that my headaches were becoming less frequent and less intense. V
alentines day was my 1 yr anniversary with no drugs and no migraines after 25 yr
s of suffering. Just think, if this Mangosteen botanical can help only 50% of pe
ople who are in pain. What a difference this can make in people's quality of lif
e. In addition, my physician had me tested for risk of stroke and/or heart attac
k due to my father dying at the age of 63 with a heart attack and my C-REATIVE P
ROTEIN score (new biomarker) was a 7.1. The highest my physician said she had an
yone of her patients ever score (obviously not a good thing!). In February, when
I returned for my yearly check-up, not only were my migraines gone, but also my
lab results with my C-Reactive Protein score was DOWN TO a 0.3! Now that's undi
sputable, scientific proof that the Xanthones in Mangosteen did what most other
course of treatment would not accomplish. - Sandi Cohen, P.S. AZ
I used to get three to four severe migraines a month. I've been getting these si
nce I was around 10 years old. These were the full-blown aura and vomit inducing
kind. Some would last for days. I've been to many doctors and nobody has a defi
nite answer to it. The only answer that all of them had has been to prescribe so
me medication and that was that. I have grown up watching my mother suffer from
these same migraines. She is frequently in the hospital emergency room or self-i
nducing Imitrex shots. I decided a long time ago that I would not take medicatio
ns. They are not the solution. 2 months ago I was told about a product called Ma
ngosteen Juice. Ever since then I NOR my mother have had a single episode. Brett
T.
I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice by a lifelong friend who called me very exc
ited about the positive results she was experiencing with her leg problem. I kne
w she had tried many different methods of treatment and nothing seemed to improv
e her leg. I was given a sample of Mangosteen Juice and was pleasantly surprised
by the texture and flavor. It was delicious to the taste. A few days later, whi
ch happened to be Sunday, I awakened with a full-blown migraine. I have suffered
with migraines most of my life and since I have such extreme adverse reactions
to all medications this has been a challenge for me. I nursed the migraine all d
ay long into the early morning hours on Monday. I had been told Mangosteen Juice
would help migraines and I thought this could be a good test for me. So I went
back to Mangosteen Juice and asked for a sample bottle to take home. Upon arrivi
ng home I immediately took 1 to 2 ounces of the juice and within 15 minutes the
pain was completely gone. Also, to my surprise the nausea feeling, which usually
lingers for a day or so, was gone as well. As the day progressed I had a high l
evel of energy, which I never have had before with a migraine. I am usually wipe
d out for a few days even after I get control of the pain. What a thrill this is
to me. I am excited to know I have found something natural and healthy with no
adverse side effects that I feel will eliminate my migraines forever! - S. Stove

Future Hope for Alzheimer's
My Father at the young age of 64 started having problems at work and had to reti
re early. He was then diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Alzheimer's. He i
s now in a home because my mother couldn't handle him anymore. He worked as a ve
ry successful auto bodyman and may have ingested a lot of chemicals. A friend of
mine gave me a bottle of [mangosteen juice] and I had read that it may help wit
h Alzheimer's. We thought we would have nothing to lose as he is now in a very v
egetative state.
He didn't know anyone, couldn't feed himself and he couldn't even talk anymore.
We got him on 1 oz of [mangosteen juice] per day and on the 5th day he called my
son by his name. We were all shocked! He continued taking 1 oz per day and he h
as now been feeding himself consistently for 25 days! He is more alert and happy
. He even looks and smiles at me when I visit him. He is now even communicating
with us a little. We are now increasing his dosage to 2 oz per day with his doct
ors' blessing and we are all excited to see what happens This product has create
d much excitement for our family! I wish we would have had this product 5 years
ago. I want people to understand that my father is pretty far gone but has had s
omewhat amazing results due to taking this product. I truly believe this product
offers new hope to other people. I would like to say a special thanks to Grace
D. for sharing this product with our family. Many thanks to XanGo as well. Colee

Unreal -Results with Mom in nursing home with /Memory
Well, the [Mangosteen juice] experience took a new turn today. As you are aware
my 92 year old mother is in a home in Turlock and has given us lots to worry abo
ut. She thinks that I am her young child and is still going to school. Also she
has contended that my father has left her for another woman. Plus several other
thing that she has done which results in her thinking that she is living in the
past. In order to try and help her ease back into the present or at least not ge
t any worse we had made arrangements with the nurses to give her [Mangosteen jui
ce] during the day to try & help her to combat further mental problems. Well the
results we saw today have gone beyond our greatest hopes. Today she told us tha
t she had been , in her mind, living in a fantasy world, thinking of me as her y
oung child, and Dad cheating on her. She said that she thought she had a stove,
freezer, and refrig. in her room, but she now knows these thing not to be true.
She acts like she just came out of a bad dream. Both Arlette and I are sure that
the [Mangosteen juice] has made this happen. I for one still have a hard time t
hinking that a fruit drink can help that much but it sure has. For the first tim
e in several months she can hold a logical conversation, and she acts like a new
person. She gets 3 oz twice a day. No other changes that we are aware of in her
treatment. She seems to think more clearly but that is major for us. Anything e
lse we notice I’ll pass it on. Russ Joe - Sun, 5 Sep 2004
ADD and Depression
My 17 year old son (ADD) and I started using Mangosteen juice 2 months ago.
I have ADD that I discovered 3 years ago that has affected many aspects of my cr
eative & productive life. I have found the clarity and focus profound that Mango
steen juice gives me.
For the past 3 years, after trying a variety of traditional ADD meds (stimulants
& antidepressants) –
as well as many alternative medical modalities for ADD including many different
Amino Acids, nutritional supplements and vitamins, etc), there is not a medicati
on or supplement that creates more energy, focus and clarity of my mind than Man
gosteen juice !
Here is a real testimonial repeated on an off Mangosteen juice.
I’m a single parent and I recently went with my son on a 9 day Caribbean cruise to
celebrate all the hard work he had put in this past year. On ship I planned to
share some real connection time when homework and activities would finally not i
nterfere. I only brought a few bottles of Mangosteen juice, and
when a fellow traveller was having tremendous pain in his neck following neck su
rgery a few weeks earlier, I offered him a bottle. Because we were in short supp
ly, my son offered to not take any & I rationed mine.
I personally had less energy on the cruise when I was just relaxing, than my ful
l days
when I often work until 1-2 AM getting personal projects done.
My son on the other hand had a different experience. His attitude soured, he had
little appreciation, & patience that had been present before. His adolescence s
howed and the interactions between us were less than optimal. ( He had left his
ADD meds at home).
Within 24 hrs of returning home my son was quite stressed considering the tests
and work he had missed, even though he had done quite a bit homework on the ship
.
We returned to our usual home lifestyle, including taking Mangosteen juice and v
itamins regularly.
Within 24 hrs, even before he went back to school, I noticed an abrupt change in
his behaviour as he calmed down, the stress was decreased, and his relationship
with me was back to normal !
I found this interesting and put it in the back of my mind.
I had a concern how the Mangosteen juice was interacting with the homeopathic tr
eatment for my ADD
so my physician and I decided to stop it for 4-5 days and re-evaluate me, but no
t until I returned from a
six day workshop with Tony Robbins as I knew I’d need it for focus. We were in the
workshop form 9 AM until MN for the next 6 days. (Thank you Mr. Mangosteen for
the energy to keep up with Toni’s hours) !
My son had been leaving me very “loving” messages while gone, so when I called the d
ay before returning home, I suggested he STOP the mangosteen juice. When I retur
ned home, the loving son had left, being replaced by the anxious adolescent from
the cruise ship. Over the next 4-5 days, I was a little more on edge, & I was V
ERY distracted & the least focused I’d been in 3 years on NO meds for my ADD.
My son on the other hand was angry, argumentative, impatient, impulsive – sounds l
ike my 17 yr. old untreated son with ADD. It was an interesting 4 - 5 days, and
I tried everything to create harmony.
I heard about the potential VERY short time for Mangosteen juice to take affect
(HOURS) ,
so when he retuned from school, I greeted him at the door and said DRINK, our te
st is over.
I left the house for 2 hrs to run errands, and had not really told him the test
was still on.
When I returned home, I went down to find my son and I tried to engage him and “ge
t in his face” and all I could get was a smile and no reaction. Now the test was r
eally over. Mangosteen juice had won!
Here’s the part I haven’t shared. I’m a physician, board certified in Internal Medicin
e and have practiced Wellness and Alternative Medicine with an emphasis on preve
ntion for 25 yrs. I have read the science behind the Mangosteen and have not see
n anything as profound in my 25 years that is as safe and can have such an impac
t on such a variety of health conditions from elimination of cancer, to lowering
blood sugar, serum cholesterol, and blood pressure. The treatment of extreme in
flammation as well as acute and chronic pain is profound as well as the treatmen
t of autoimmune conditions, Parkinson’s,
Alzheimer’s, Hepatitis, headaches and a variety of other conditions.
Considering 75% of our population will unfortunately die from cancer and heart d
isease, EVERYONE should be on Mangosteen juice, unless they want to enjoy heart
disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and all the chronic diseases from oxidation that affl
ict our society costing far more than Mangosteen juice.

[Mangosteen juice] and Autism
My husband and I would like to share our story of how [mangosteen juice] has hel
ped our five year old son with autism. He has been in early intervention and pre
school and is now in Kindergarten where he is integrated into a normal classroom
of his peers. It was always a challenge for Camron to not only communicate but
also interact with other children and engage his family. He had made some progre
ss with being in early intervention and preschool but he was still not able to t
ake direction, play with others, sit in a group and whenever he wanted something
he would take your hand and pull you to it because he was unable to talk. He wo
uld become so frustrated to the point that he would hit himself and cry. It was
to me the saddest cry. We started with [mangosteen juice] for my husband who had
acid reflux and myself for energy but we also started giving it to our kids to
try. We noticed a difference a couple of days later when my husband was playing
race cars with the kids and my husband had asked my oldest son, Kyle and myself
where the yellow car was. Kyle and myself did not have any clue where it could h
ave gone but Camron found it and gave it to my husband. We were so excited becau
se he would be always off doing something by himself or playing next to the kids
but not with them so we always thought that he was in his own world and not abl
e to understand enough to take direction but this was an indication that he knew
exactly what was going on.
Also, Camron s senses seem to be heightened so too much noise would bother him o
r putting shoes on or even a hat would be a challenge. Camron is now not bothere
d by this anymore. Camron now is adding more and more words to his vocabulary an
d is able to take direction more. He even looks forward to learning more words b
ecause he will give you eye contact and put his hand on your throat and say "hea
r you talk." I used to worry all the time that Camron would wander off when we w
ere outside or get into danger, like dart off into the street because he didn t
understand certain dangers but now I notice he will take direction from us a lot
better and I can tell him to "stop" or "hot" and he would understand. [mangoste
en juice] has helped his sleeping habits also and he is doing well in a full day
kindergarten program.
In a recent IEP meeting we were amazed at how much progress Camron has made. He
is able to sit during a task and is willing to play with the other kids. We are
so grateful to [mangosteen juice] and the way that it has facilitated in Camron
s progress. In the past we have tried so many supplements in order to help Camro
n function better but he would refuse to take it because of the taste or texture
of the vitamins but we don t have to fight him to take [mangosteen juice]. In f
act all of our kids ask for it several times a day and it is getting harder to k
eep a supply in our house. We are so grateful for [mangosteen juice] and we know
it will continue to help our family especially Camron. It has helped him better
communicate and focus on the different activities in school. In the past the te
achers would not be able to get him to sit still and participate in the activiti
es. He is able to transition better from one activity to the next and he has sta
rted to interact more with the kids. One time Camron was crying and my husband a
sked him what was wrong and Camron said "you tell me." This is just one of many
surprises we have encountered while Camron has been taking [mangosteen juice]. W
e would be happy to share many more testimonials of Camron s progress because [m
angosteen juice] has helped us in so many ways. Chester and Christine Green - (4

Energy/Weight Loss and Brain Damage
My daughter was seriously injured in a horse riding accident and was in a coma f
or 7 days. She came out of it quite well but required extensive Physical Therapy
for at least 2 months. She was only 11 years old and in the fall upon returning
to school we began to find just how much damage we still had. She had lost shor
t-term memory and the ability to follow even simple instructions that required s
tep-by-step procedures. This made her very angry, very frustrated and would exha
ust her. Her Doctors wanted to put her on anti-depressants and "try" her on Adde
rral (a Rx often given to those w/ADHD). A cousin of mine called & told me about
Mangosteen Juice, she said hey it s a juice it can t hurt her! After about two
days of thinking about it and tired of seeing my daughter fight this inside batt
le with herself. I decided to try it first over traditional meds. She tried the
juice and said "if it gets me back on my horse and competing again I will drink
it by the glass full." It took about 5 days to see a change but she began to smi
le more and had more energy just like she was in a good mood on a beautiful spri
ng day. After two weeks this was a completely different child she is not angry a
nd is more outgoing, she is silly once again. Her teacher has even noticed a big
change in her attitude as well as her academics. She has progressed past the po
int of needing help from the resource dept. and this makes her feel like she s o
n top again it has only been since Jan.
The change has been incredible and I owe it all to Mangosteen. - Anderson

Arthritis
Gout - A sceptical cousin of mine tried Mangosteen Juice (1oz) morning & night f
inding that after four days his gout had totally stopped giving him pain and the
swelling in both feet had completely disappeared. He had been on tablets for ov
er a year, which at best kept the pain to a bearable level. He is now going to c
ontinue with the product, as he is also prone to diabetes. Thank you for providi
ng this valuable information avenue. Lance F., Rockhampton. Queensland. Australi

Decreased Swelling from Acute Injury
Last Wednesday, I dislocated my left thumb playing basketball and after I popped
it back into place, I watched my hand swell up like a balloon. I decided to do
an experiment to test the anti-inflammatory properties of Mangosteen Juice that
scientific studies have touted as well as the claims that Mangosteen Juice (or a
ntioxidants in general) promote joint health and help our body rebuild itself on
a cellular level. I upped my servings to 3 oz a day and even by Thursday mornin
g (the next morning), the swelling had gone down dramatically. As of today (Sund
ay), the swelling and pain are almost entirely gone and I plan on playing softba
ll Monday evening and rejoining my basketball team Thursday evening. They will b
e very surprised to see me as they saw how bad my hand looked when I injured it
last week. :-) Last time I dislocated my thumb, I took more than a month to heal
. Obviously, I will be sharing this testimony with my fellow athletes and my tea
mmates. - Chad Palmer PA
Osteoarthritis
I have osteoarthritis in my right knee and am limited in my ability to walk. Whe
never I sit down for any length of time, I have a difficult time standing up as
my knee "locks" and I have to rise slowly until it unlocks and I have to walk sl
owly at first. It has been like this for three years. After one week on Mangoste
en Juice (5 oz. daily) I suddenly realized I was standing up and walking normall
y. I have taken Celebrex ever since my knee scope almost three years ago. I take
it 1X/ day,.
I have also been able to discontinue my antibiotic for my skin, another plus. Lo
ene A.
I have been a massage therapist for 16 years and had terrible joint pain in my h
ands and shoulders. Over the last 7 months on Mangosteen juice, my joint pain is
gone as well as my allergies and now they are gone and I am off all medication.
After bad headaches a few times a week I have not had one now in the last 7 mon
ths. My cholesterol went from 210 to 181. I have lowered my thyroid medicine I h
ad eczema on my elbows and it is gone. I sleep better and have more energy. It d
id not all happen over night. The first month I was drinking the juice I actuall
y felt more tired but I did have relief from my allergies. I had a complete phys
ical 2 months prior but had forgot to get blood work done for my thyroid. My end
ocrinologist after a complete blood work up on me one month on Mangosteen Juice.
I was able to lower my thyroid medicine and my cholesterol dropped from 210 to
197 so I knew it was working. It took a couple months for my joint pain to go aw
ay. It took 4 months for my eczema on my elbows to go away. I have a friend who
has had eczema since childhood and in 3 weeks hers was all gone. Every day I fee
l better and better! I love the product, the company and the business. Pam Malow

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 3 ye
ars ago. Prior to that the only health problem that I had was migraine headaches
. In the fall of 2001, my condition became much worse. I was unable to sleep mor
e than an hour at a time and was up and down all night. I awoke each morning ext
remely stiff throughout my complete body. I would run hot water over my hands un
til I was able to actually turn the shower on to take a hot shower massage or ta
ke a hot bath. I tried everything that I could think of and anything that anyone
suggested. Finally in Oct, my doctors put me on disability from work because I
could not stand up straight or walk without holding on to a wall or rail, scooti
ng up and down stairs in my home, and walking with a cane when away from home.
Additional medicines were added. I was now taking 13 medicines and not getting v
ery much relief. I was taking anti-inflammatories, 2 different anti-depressants,
medicine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, muscle relaxants, 3 different pain medic
ations, medicine to put and keep me asleep at night and 2 different inhalers for
the COPD plus migraine medicines and finally medicine to overcome the stomach p
roblems all the other medications had caused. I thought my life, as I had always
known it was over. I decided that I had to find a way to "become" myself again.
A friend of mine sent me a bottle of Mangosteen Juice. After 1 month on MANGOST
EEN JUICE, I m no longer taking any prescribed medication. I use Mangosteen (MAN
GOSTEEN JUICE™) only. I am pain free, my depression is gone. I sleep all night eve
ry night instead of fighting to fall asleep and waking constantly all night and
have so much energy! - Thanks, Mary Atlanta, GA.
Acute Injury
I had the following experience in April of 2003. I broke my ankle and drank a wh
ole bottle of juice throughout the day and another bottle the next day following
with a third bottle over the next several days after that and then regular amou
nts of Mangosteen Juice per day. I had no pain and very little swelling if any t
hat I could tell. I took my bottle of Mangosteen Juice with me to the doctor s o
ffice. The doctor wrote a prescription for pain medication, which I never had to
purchase because I had no pain. I saw him about two weeks later and when I unwr
apped my ankle it was as small as my good one. He was a little shocked. His comm
ent was, "This looks a lot better than I expected it would be." And two days aft
er breaking my ankle I drove to Texas over about 27 hours (due to a snowstorm in
the mountains west of Denver) sleeping about a half hour during the trip. I had
the boot on for only about 3 weeks compared to the normal 6 weeks. It was more
in my way than anything and much more of a nuisance than my ankle. Needless to s
ay, I am delighted with Mangosteen Juice not to have experienced any pain once I
got my body saturated that first hour or so. I would not be without it. I had b
een taking Mangosteen Juice since November the previous year, but upped the dosa
ge immediately when I broke my ankle. If I had not done so, I might not have had
the tremendous results I had. I didn t want to take any chances of feeling any
pain or deal with swelling. - Connie T.
Chronic Pain Relief
Relief form Narcotics
I had planned to write to you to tell you that your claim about Mangosteen repla
cing painkillers such as Vicodin, Percocet, etc was a disservice to Mangosteen J
uice distributors and their prospects. How could mangosteen relieve pain that wa
s serious enough to warrant that level of prescription pain medication? That s w
hat I planned to tell you ... here s what happened. On the phone with my wife fr
om my hotel room, Jeannette told me her pain was getting worse.
I suggested she increase her Mangosteen Juice from one ounce a day to four, as y
ou had suggested.
I told her under no circumstances should she quit taking the Percocet. I hate it
when she s in pain. When I got home on Monday, she told me how much better she
was feeling. The pain was all but gone and she was walking normally. I said, "gr
eat news, darling. I m so glad it helped. And I m glad you didn t stop taking th
e Percocet. I can t stand it when you hurt." She replied, "but I DID stop taking
the Percocet. I don t like it. It makes me feel weird, and sometimes it doesn t
even help with the pain. So, I just drank two ounces of Mangosteen Juice twice
a day and by the end of the second day, the pain was gone." I want to thank you
again for all the effort you have made to help people. People in pain. People wi
th all kinds of illnesses. And People like me who love Mangosteen Juice and can
t wait to tell everyone about it. Will & Jeannette. Albuquerque, New Mexico
Chronic Disease and Chronic pain
I started with Mangosteen Juice March 18, and in truth found no change in my con
ditions after I d finished 4 bottles of the "stuff" and spent $140 ... it wasn t
getting me anywhere...but I persevered . . .I m grateful to say that the 5th an
d 6th bottles (since I decided to become a distributor, the 4 bottles now only c
ost me $100) have started to make significant changes in some ailments--although
I felt no immediate magical or miraculous healing! I started with 2 oz twice
a day. I decided my body mass needed it! I weigh 350 pounds, am diabetic, have h
igh blood pressure, neuropathy, arthritis, sciatic nerve problems in my right hi
p and knee, mega pain in my feet, carpel tunnel and some neuropathy in my hands
plus tendonitis and arthritis. For which I take medications such as Actos 45mg,
30 units twice a day of 75/25 humalog insulin, Lotrel for BP, Prozac, Lortab, Zo
cor and Ambien...I also take assorted vitamins C, B6, B12, garlic, multi vitamin
s... I know, I m in a world of major hurt. Until just recently, I have for many
years been unable to sit still for longer than 30-45 minutes (makes going to Chu
rch painful!) without feeling that I had somehow jelled or turned to cement. I
had a difficult time getting up from a chair--heaven forbid I should ever get d
own on my knees; I d never get up. Last Thursday I arrived at the meeting at 6:3
0, I wanted to be sure I had a good seat! I drove for an hour before I got there
, upon arrival; I left my car, walked SPRIGHTLY across the parking lot WITHOUT
MY cane. I sat through the meeting until about 9:30 and got up without a proble
m. I walked hurriedly (and I don t do hurry--anywhere, I can t) back to my car a
nd drove back home through a torrential rain. In any other occasion, I would hav
e had to take a Lortab for the pain and tension plus a sleeping pill to get any
rest. I got home, took a hot shower, took a couple of extra ounces of Mangosteen
Juice and went to bed. I slept for 5 hours--a miracle to me because I haven t b
een able to sleep without a sleeping pill or an 800 mg of Ibuprofen (and recentl
y the Lortab) for years for more than 2-3- max 4 hours at a time. I m grateful f
or being introduced to the Mangosteen fruit and have a ways to go to be the best
60 something I can be... When I first attended a meeting (sceptic that I am--be
cause I ve tried so many products over the years) I didn t not believe the resul
ts people were getting, but I didn t think It could happen with me, I have too m
uch wrong with me! Eve R., Midvale, UT
Improved Sleep Energy , Decreased Pain ( and decreased asthma and blood pressure
)
I can certainly testify to the wonderful benefits and healing qualities of the m
angosteen fruit. I began taking 4 ounces of mangosteen juice a day the last week
of November 2003.
The second night I was taking the Mangosteen Juice Juice, I slept five hours! Be
fore then, I was only getting three hours a night sleep due to the pain I was in
from arthritis, breathing problems from asthma, sinus drainage, and depression
I was suffering because of the health problems. I wake up rested and with so muc
h more energy. I was taking 10 mg of Lortab three times a day and using lidocain
e patches on my joints. Around the first of week of December, I noticed my pain
level was greatly reduced; I was able to stop using the Lidocaine patches comple
tely. I have only taken a couple of 5 mg of Lortab since then. I had been using
a walker and needed help getting up from a sitting position. I can now get up by
myself! The only time I use my walker now is when I am around a lot of people,
and that is only as a safety precaution to prevent being bumped into and loosing
my balance.
My asthma and sinus problems are greatly improved! The last thing I did before g
oing to bed at night was a breathing treatment I had been waking around 2 am fee
ling like I was drowning and choking. I would have to use the Jet Neb Machine an
d do another breathing treatment Often had to have help because I was choking so
badly, I could not do anything for myself. My days started with another breathi
ng treatment. Also, I frequently used my pocket inhaler throughout the day.
My blood pressure is now about 125/75 instead of 180/90 like it has been for the
past 30 years, even on medications. Occasionally, the doctors had managed to ge
t my blood pressure down to 155/85 but those readings were not often. My depress
ion is much better. I no longer cry as often or as easily. My complexion is so s

After barely three months on mangosteen juice, a close friend, who had not seen

Physician and his Allergies
I am sending you this e-mail as a recently enrolled Mangosteen Juice distributor
to inform you of what I consider to be a truly remarkable therapeutic response
from using Mangosteen Juice. As a physician who trained at the Yale University S
chool of Medicine and is a former member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard M
edical School, I have been somewhat sceptical of the health claims of many nutri
tional supplements. Unlike most other physicians, however, I was always aware of
the tremendous importance of nutrition as a factor in many of the most common i
llnesses and I pursued a Master of Public Health degree at Harvard University in
order to learn more about nutrition and the role of alternative treatments in m
aintaining optimal health. I have always been open to using natural non-toxic tr
eatments so when I was contacted by my sponsor about Mangosteen Juice and the fa
ct that it contained Xanthones I was very intrigued because I had been aware of
the fact that St. John s Wort a popular antidepressant in Europe contained Xanth
ones which were in part felt to be responsible for its mood-elevating and energi
zing effects.
For years I suffered from a medical disorder known as allergic rhinitis, which r
esulted in debilitating headaches, repeat sinus infections and required treatmen
t with antibiotics. I had consulted with several ENT and Allergy specialists and
was prescribed a variety of antihistaminic agents (Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, N
asacort, Flonase) with only marginal relief of my symptoms. I decided to try Man
gosteen Juice for my allergy symptoms after I reviewed some scientific literatur
e and was surprised to discover robust evidence that the Xanthones in garcinia m
angostana L. actually inhibited histamine release and also reduced prostaglandin
E-2 synthesis that is known to mediate allergic reactions in the human body. To
my utter amazement, I can bear witness to the fact that within 2 days of ingest
ing only one ounce of Mangosteen Juice twice a day I had almost complete resolut
ion of my allergic symptoms and was able to discontinue all of my antihistaminic
medications.
Feeling that this was "too good to be true" I then initiated my own washout prot
ocol by stopping the Mangosteen Juice for one day. To my astonishment, the follo
wing day I was re-introduced to my former allergy symptoms of pounding headaches
, congestion, and sneezing, which again resolved after restarting the Mangosteen
Juice. It is extremely gratifying to know that there is strong scientific proof
for the health benefits I experienced with Mangosteen Juice.
The validation of this product by identifying the scientific role of Xanthones a
llows me to refute the many skeptics who are biased against the use of all natur
al non-toxic treatments for medical illnesses and would rather worship at the al
tar of Big Pharma and buy into the medical establishment s view that all we need
are stronger medications to vanquish all of the world s diseases, notwithstandi
ng the fact that the Institute of Medicine reports that adverse reactions to med
ications kill at least 108,000 people a year. Throughout my medical career I hav
e been disheartened to observe that in the U.S. we have more medicines but less
health and I am immensely grateful that there exists a natural product such as M
angosteen Juice which is health enhancing and non-toxic. LOUIS A., MD, MPH
Fever Relief
A few weeks ago I picked my daughter (12.5 yrs. old) up from after school with a
fever around 99.4. I decided, after hearing another mom use Mangosteen Juice to
bring down her child s fever, that this was how we were going to work with her
fever. I gave her 1.5 ounces every 2-3 hours and watched her closely. Five hours
later her fever peaked at 103.4, so I continued a close watch and faithfully ga
ve her Mangosteen Juice and liquids. I checked an hour later and her fever had c
ome down to 103 so continued every 2 hrs. Her last dose was around 3:00a.m. She
was resting well so I settled down after having my Mangosteen Juice! At 7:00 a.m
. I woke to go check her again. Much to my shock and surprise she was sitting in
bed, reading a book, bright eyed asking me if she could go to school!! She gave
me a puzzled look as I just stared at her, said no, you had a very high fever a
nd I am going to watch you today! Her fever NEVER returned! In my experience as
a mom for 17 yrs, and as a teacher for 8 yrs, I have not heard of any child gett
ing beyond a high fever like hers in that short of time. Plus bounce back with e
nergy like she did. Oh, did I mention- she loves her Mangosteen Juice and makes
sure she has hers everyday! Cheri M.
Skin
Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema
I started on Mangosteen Juice Tuesday evening (3/11/3). By Friday evening, 3/14/
3, I had no evidence of my atopic dermatitis or eczema!!!!!!!!!! Hurray! Now, my
eczema is of recent onset. It showed up in December 2002. Prior to that I\ d on
ly had short occasional bouts with it requiring no visits to the doctor. This ti
me I finally went to the physician and had received a prescription for Eucerin a
nd a corticosteroid. I decided not to fill it because I learned of Mangosteen Ju
ice that day. I thought I d see if Mangosteen Juice could help the Eczema. And i
t did! Ellen R., Chapel Hill, NC
Burn Relief
I burned by thumb and two fingers on a larger commercial waffle iron. I had pour
ed the batter into the waffle iron and sat for it to cook. I squeezed and lifted
the lid and realized I was holding the cooking part and had not reached the woo
den handle. The pain was excruciating! I remembered a bottle of Mangosteen Juice
in my hotel room and hurried to get the juice and pour it into a Styrofoam cup.
I placed my burned fingers in the juice and contemplated on all the changes I w
ould need to make to my day because of the burn. Thirty minutes later the pain w
as gone and there were no blisters. The Mangosteen Juice had sucked the burn out
of my fingers and I had no signs of the burn. My day continued on just as I had
originally planned. Dion B., Highland, UT
Urinary/Reproductive system
I ve been on dialysis for 10 1/2 yrs. For about 8yrs I wasn t able to sleep more
than 3 hours a night and so I was always very tired and restless. In July, I th
ink dialysis had taken its toll on my body. I was tired all the time and just co
nstantly sick with one thing or another. I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice la
te September, that day I had a bad headache and was actually contemplating on go
ing to the Emergency Room because I felt like I was ready to collapse. My friend
gave me a bottle … what was there to lose. I decided to take 1 oz. of Mangosteen
Juice and what happened to me was amazing. My headache and body ache went away a
nd I slept for about 8 hrs that night. Since I ve been on Mangosteen Juice, I ve
been able to sleep 6 - 8 hrs a night and during the day, even dialysis days I v
e been very energetic. My labs and dialysis accuracy have also come back very po
sitive. Since I ve been on dialysis I ve been in a couple of studies to test one
thing or another. - Diana P., Anaheim, CA
During a routine physical examination given last April by Dr. Gary Dickinson in
Edmond, Oklahoma, it was discovered through a lab report that I was developing a
kidney problem. I was immediately referred to Dr. Kerry Owens, a Nephrologist,
who after thorough testing found that I was developing a serious problem in my c
reatin level. I was given various prescription medicines to take in an effort to
thwart the worsening of this condition. I am 70 years old and a Type II Diabeti
c and it was felt by Dr. Owens that these were the two main factors for my kidne
y deterioration. The creatin level continued to get worse and it reached the poi
nt where Dr. Owens, with the concurrence of Dr. Dickinson, had me take home two
videos on kidney dialysis in an effort to mentally prepare me for going through
this invasive procedure. After viewing the videos with my wife I went the next d
ay to the local Dialysis treatment center that is not far from my home. I had a
tour of the facility with the Director and found that I could adjust to the regi
men of having to go to three hours per session three times per week. I was resig
ned to my fate as; after all, "Modern Medicine" certainly could not be wrong aft
er all the testing that I had gone through to qualify to be a dialysis patient.
I was also informed by my doctor as to how to start the procedure for a kidney t
ransplant if it became necessary. It was certainly somewhat of an emotional orde
al to go through, particularly with the further adverse consequences it might ha
ve for my caring and loving wife. She had been through so much when my left leg
was amputated five years ago that I hated to think about her going through more
trauma due to my further physical decline.
I also have had the condition of peripheral neuropathy for a little over four ye
ars, which was a result of my onset diabetes. I was fortunate in that I had the
kind that made my legs and lower limbs become numb and did not have terrible sha
rp pains that so many people – Gloria K.
Gastrointestinal (Digestive) System
I have been drinking the Mangosteen Juice now for 4 days. I had a normal bowel m
ovement yesterday & today. Before now I could not tell you when the last time I
had a normal bowel movement was. They were always few and far between and very p
ainful. I m so happy that Mangosteen Juice is making a difference. I thought I d
share this with you. - Tracy Ross, Hattiesburg, MS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
I had suffered from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome also known as Spastic Colon) f
or over 45 years. At times I literally could not leave the house. I had the diar
rhea type which included a lot of pain. I had to plan ahead in order to go place
s and make sure I had sufficient medication with me “just in case.” During this time
, I was a housewife and mother to two sons. Later, I worked for three California
legislators and part of my job was to represent them at functions when they cou
ldn’t attend. Needless to say, it was difficult doing this when I never knew when
the symptoms would flare up.
The doctors didn’t have a cure for it, but could only treat the symptoms. The drug
of choice for many years was Vicodin. I had to be very careful with it and I so
on learned to only take ½ of a tablet when I felt the symptoms coming on. On some
occasions I had to submit to a whole tablet and then stay home until the effects
wore off (no driving, etc.)
Four years ago, I participated in a research project for a pharmaceutical compan
y for a new drug – “Lotronex.” The new drug worked, but I had to take it daily or suff
er the consequences and yes, there were side effects. Too much of it would bind
me up and too little wouldn’t work at all, so I had to find a balance which would
work. For me, it was ½ tablet every day, or every other day, depending on the seve
rity of the symptoms.
Around the first of December, 2004, a friend of mine sent me a sample of Xango t
o try. I was looking at it to try to help with the arthritis in my hands. (The d
octors were giving me Cortisone shots in my hand for the pain.) I had enough Xan
go for 3 ½ days (9oz.). I did not notice a difference then with my Arthritic hands
, but I did notice that my IBS was gone! This was over 2 months ago! I feel grea
t and I am Vicodin free and drug free for the first time in years. And now, the
pain in my hands is almost entirely gone too. I can’t yet believe that it only too
k 4 ½ days of Xango to “cure” a problem I had had for over 45 years!
I became a distributor of Xango in order to maintain a continuous supply of the
Mangosteen juice, and I can’t say enough good things about Xango. Even my research
doctor is amazed and wants to know more about this product. I will tell everyon
e I know about this amazing juice. - Ann Marie Lorenzini - Carlsbad, CA. (760) 4

Rebecca, a diabetic; her left leg would swell up. After taking Mangosteen Juice
for a few weeks, her swelling completely stopped!
My 11 yr old niece had been living with me for almost 2 years. She developed dia
betes when she was two years old. From the day I started caring for my niece her
blood sugars have been a serious problem. Most days she was above 300 in her bl
ood sugars and had many HI’s, which are over 600. This could be caused because of
the stress not living with her mom. The doctor was always adjusting her insulin
and I would adjust it, but by February of this year it seemed the insulin was no
t working. March 3rd she ended up in the emergency room – she had 3 HI’s that day. I
t took 4 hours for the emergency room team to get her blood sugar down into the
200’s by giving her 10 unites of insulin intravenously every hour.
On March 26 we were introduced to Mangosteen Juice™. It was a couple days before t
his that my niece was put on a new insulin program. I started giving her ½ oz Mang
osteen Juice™ juice before each meal and her blood sugars were in the low 100’s. If
she did not get the juice she would go into the 300 or 400’s. One day the nurse at
school called and said my niece was not feeling good so I brought her home. Her
blood sugar was HI at lunch and when I got her home it was still HI. I gave her
1 oz of Mangosteen Juice™ juice and in 30 minutes her blood sugar was 143 and an
hour later it was down to 132 without an insulin correction. We have upped her d
osage to 1 oz with each meal and she is ok. When she does not get juice with a m
eal her blood sugars rise even with insulin. We have a choice to either increase
her insulin or use the juice – we are using the juice. - Trudy Krieger
I am an insulin dependent diabetic for 10 years now. (Adult onset) I was taking
15 units of insulin in the AM and 10 units in the PM. I started drinking 2 oz of
Mangosteen Juice everyday 2 months ago. Within only 2 weeks of taking Mangostee
n Juice, I reduced my insulin intake by almost half! I now take 10 units in the
AM and 5 units in the PM.
Mangosteen Juice has worked better for my diabetes than any herb, vitamin, and m
edicine drink, etc. And in only 2 weeks! Perhaps I will be off insulin completel
y someday if I continue drinking my Mangosteen Juice. It has also helped my neur
opathy (from diabetes) immensely. I highly recommend Mangosteen Juice to any dia
betic or anyone looking for optimum health! Your Mangosteen Juice Lover, - Ricoc

My 13-year-old daughter has a best friend that weighs maybe 80 lbs named Makayla
.
She is a beautiful girl that is vivacious, happy, and very well loved by her pee
rs. She performs in the "Nutcracker" for Ballet West on an annual basis. Such am
azing talent, so beautiful.
Unfortunately, she also needs to test her blood sugar several times a day just t
o make sure she is not falling into trouble. She is a sever type 1 diabetic. She
struggles to find a place in her thigh, arm and or stomach that has not been pr
icked in the last 24/48 hours. Often times her blood sugar levels
will get as high as 380. She has been able to take Mangosteen Juice and this has
helped her immensely. Recently she reported that her levels were @ 386. After 3
oz. of Mangosteen Juice her blood sugar levels dropped to 85 and she was able t
o maintain that level through out the night. This is amazing.
I am never surprised but always amazed at how Mangosteen Juice can affect people’s
lives.

Cancer
Melanoma – Stage 4
Yes. Scott has gone cancer free! In summer of 2002, Scott had been diagnosed wit
h stage 4-melanoma cancer. It had spread to his Lymph nodes, which the doctors s
urgically removed, and seemed to be getting worse. The doctors told Scott they d
id not know if he would make it or not, and melanoma is the most aggressive canc
er and can spread very rapidly. Last summer he underwent aggressive therapy.
This therapy had made him very sick (it was actually killing him).
He decided to go another route and choose interferon (self injected). He did tha
t for several months but had a test in November 2003 and still had the cancer. I
n December Ann and I found out that Mangosteen Juice had been used by a Doctor i
n Phoenix on hundreds of patients to help relieve the effects of traditional med
icine (chemo, interferon etc) with great success. Not only were the effects of t
he chemo and interferon relieved but also many patients were becoming cancer fre
e. We told Scott about this and he began drinking Mangosteen Juice in December r
eluctantly.
Ann met with Dr. Templeman who lectured on the benefits of the mangosteen fruit
one day at a conference we attended in San Diego. After the lecture Ann met with
him and he told Ann that “Stage 4 melanoma was a particularly bad cancer and If h
e were Scott I would be taking Mangosteen Juice and other supplements to help th
e body rid it self of this cancer”. Of course we came back and suggested to Scott
to be more aggressive with the Mangosteen Juice, stop smoking, and begin an exer
cise program.
In January Scott began drinking 1 bottle of Mangosteen Juice a week or more. He
stopped the interferon treatments. Scott had a PET scan on Thursday March 18th 2
004, and Ann and Scott met with the doctor on Friday for the results. The result
s were; Scott is cancer free! When the Doctor asked Scott what he attributed thi
s to Scott remarked “Mangosteen Juice”!
Also, I had been taking Lipitor for years to lower my cholesterol. It has never
been under 200. After consulting my Cardiologist I lowered my Lipitor from 40mg
to 10mg and then began using Mangosteen Juice. 90 days later my cholesterol was
195 and I am now off the Lipitor! - Ann & Gregg Adair
Recovery from Pancreatic Cancer and the use of Mangosteen Juice Here is my fathe
r’s story. He takes 3 oz of mangosteen juice - 3 times a day.
In 2000 my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As we finally began to r
ecover from the shock our family pulled together as a team to support mom and he
lp to find a possible cure for this terrible invader. We found a myriad of possi
ble remedies, some that even did some good, but all in all the best we could hop
e for was to comfort dad’s pain. The diagnosis gave him six to twelve months to li
ve and even the few minor improvements that came from time to time, we had all r
esigned 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 r
ecliner and watch TV. He was just biding time. After seeing him that way we deci
ded to try my friend’s suggestion & order a case of mangosteen juice, at least giv
e it a try. We had nothing to lose. 3 weeks after he began using the mangosteen
mixture he was up with the family for Labour Day, camping the way he used to do.
 He was active, eating well and ready to indulge in a game of horseshoes with an
y challengers. No one could believe it, but we were all grateful to have him loo
king so well and actively enjoying his family again.
The following week he was called into the doctor’s office to get the results of hi
s Cat-scan when the doctor told him that there was no sign of a tumor! Furthermo
re his blood work was back to normal. He has stopped taking all but one of his m
edications and is just planning on using that one up. Mangosteen juice was the o
nly 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! - Darla Patterson from Mesa )
Leukaemia
On May 1, 2004 Marlene asked me to call a mutual friend of ours, Dr Armando De G
uzman, from Arizona. I explained to Armando that I was hospitalized with Leukaem
ia July 3, 2003 for 10 days and received 8 pints of blood. The doctor told me th
at I was 2 to 4 weeks from being dead. I had lost 80 % of my red blood cell coun
t. I also told him that I went through the chemotherapy and did not want to go t
hrough that again. I told him that because of my immune system being messed up m
y Hepatitis C activated. The treatment for Hepatitis C is a shot of Inter Ferrio
n once a week and a chemo pill every day. The shot costs $160 per shot. That wou
ld have lasted for 48 weeks. I did not want to do that. I looked for alternative
s. I even considered going to the Gerson Clinic in Mexico. Dr. De Guzman instruc
ted me to take 2 ounces 3 times a day. I started taking Mangosteen Juice May 1,
2004. About that same time I attended a meeting to see what this was all about.
I heard friends that I have known for many years talk about their personal chall
enges and also their victories. It gave me hope.
There were several things that I did not tell them. I had 4 lesions in my spleen
and 3 lesions in my liver. The lesions were from the Leukaemia. I also had 2 no
dules under my right armpit and 1 under my left armpit. The side affects of Hepa
titis C is that I it felt like I had the flu 24 hours a day. All of my joints ac
hed, I had a fever all the time, my eyes always felt hot, I would have at least
two migraines a week and I always had this feeling that I had a cotton ball in m
y ear .I also had a viral load count of 270,000. I had no energy. I was always a
sleep by 9pm. I took 2,500mg of Tylenol just to try to feel better. Of course I
did not think about the side affects of the Tylenol. After two weeks of taking M
angosteen Juice all my symptoms were gone. My energy level was back to how I fel
t 3 years ago.
On May 14th I went for a CAT scan and blood test. I am pleased to say that the n
odules that were under my armpits are gone. All 4 lesions in my spleen were gone
. There is only one lesion remaining in my liver. My viral load count has gone d
own to 140,000. I learned from the CD of Dr.Templeman that the Mangosteen fruit
has some thing that excited the bone marrow so it generates red and white blood
cells. I got so excited when I got this information.
I have to say “Thank you Marlene.” She never gave up on me. It took 6 months but I f
inally came around. Never ever give up on your friends and be persistent. You wi
ll never know what can happen till you try. I will never give up on my friends t
hat have health challenges because I know this can help.
If it were not for Mangosteen Juice, I would not have the energy to do this busi
ness.
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE BEACHES OF THE WORLD - someday we’ll have a generation that will
be drug free. Edwin Comer CA.
SIX days on Mangosteen Juice - Malignant thyroid cancer GONE
I had a lemon size aggressive thyroid cancer. The VA hospital scheduled me for s
urgical removal 3 weeks later. 6 days before surgery, I called Glenn Sparks and
mentioned they were going to the Oregon coast for a rest before the surgery. Gle
nn told him about the wonderful results with Mangosteen juice and to come get a
few bottles on the way. He drank 8 oz / day for the next
6 days. At surgery, the biopsy found all the cancer cells dead and the capsule s
urrounding the cancer was peeling away. (6 days). Roan McClure - OR
Mangosteen juice- Ovarian tumor and Eczema
December 23, 2003, I had a large ovarian tumor removed. Because of the size and
the way the tumor looked additional blood tests (CA 125 levels) were done. In De
c. my CA 125 level was at 93, the normal high is 35. Anything >35 they start loo
king & treating for possible ovarian cancer. April 7, 2004 , I took the Mangoste
en Juice twice a day. The amounts varied. On June 23, 2004 , in my 6 month follo
w, I had the CA 125 blood test done. When my Dr. said the testresults looked gre
at. My levels today are at 24 !!!!!. He was very excited about the drop and ment
ioned 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, he just waved his hand indicating
that had nothing to do with the levels dropping, & went on talking. I took avera
ge of 3 oz 2X / day. I KNOW what I just experienced was mangosteen juice. Now I
believe in mangosteen juice. Fern Bontrager from Indiana – June 24, 2004
Bone Marrow Failure – Kids
My Testimony has to do with my youngest son, Eathan, who is now 3 ½ years old. Whe
n he was 8 months old he was diagnosed with failure to thrive. His liver enzymes
were elevated, but before any more tests could be done he was growing and gaini
ng weight again. When he was about 10 months old he got the RSV virus and had to
use a nebulizer with steroid breathing treatments for about four weeks. When he
was 15 months old he had a low-grade fever that spiked in the middle of the nig
ht and caused him to have a febrile seizure. He was taken to the ER where they g
ave him a breathing tube and many tests. The doctors discovered that his red blo
od cell count was extremely low and his white blood cells were virtually non-exi
stent. They gave him three blood transfusions which stabilized his red cell coun
ts had but his white cell count was still extremely low and falling. After a bon
e marrow tap they discovered he wasn’t producing any nutrifil cells, or baby white
blood cells. They gave him a Nupagen injection. After a week in the hospital, h
e was allowed to come home. Since his bone marrow still wasn’t producing any white
blood cells, Eathan had to be quarantined for several months. With a white cell
count as low as his, he couldn t be exposed to people. His immune system was so
devastated that he could pick up something off a grocery cart that would give y
ou and me a sniffle, and could be a death sentence to him. His hematologist star
ted him on a Nupagen - the miracle drug that helps build up one s white blood ce
ll count. We have had to give him Nupagen injections 1-3 times a week for the pa
st 2 years, each injection about $250.00 each. This would help stimulate product
ion of the white blood cells but would barely maintain them at an acceptable lev
el. The doctor had warned us that it might take up to 3 - 4 years for his body t
o recover if it did at all. He developed a high level of food allergies caused b
y mal-absorption.
This led the doctors to believe he also might have celiac disease, due to his el
evated gluten levels.
Along with all of these other problems he also had a moderate case of eczema. I
was introduced to the Mangosteen juice in mid October of 2003. I looked all over
the Internet for articles. I couldn’t find a reason not to give it to him. I orde
red 2 cases and started giving him the Mangosteen juice 2 week later. Eathan had
been on the Mangosteen juice for about 3 weeks when I gave him his last injecti
on of Nupagen. He has been on Mangosteen juice for about 5 months and no more Nu
pagen. This Mangosteen juice has been able to elevate and maintain my son s whit
e blood cell count to an acceptable level. He has no more food allergies and his
eczema is completely gone. In the beginning his doctor was totally baffled by t
his. Now he truly believes that the Mangosteen juice is doing something. His blo
od Dr. said, “Keep giving him that juice!” What wonderful news for Eathan and his pa
rents! What a wise doctor they have! Kat Barnes, TX
Recurrent Breast Cancer, Chemotherapy, & Mangosteen juice
I had recurrent breast cancer, and I was going through my 3rd round of chemother
apy (Taxol and Carboplatin) when I was introduced to Mangosteen Juice back in Ja
nuary 2004. I asked my oncologist about this, and he also said not to take an ex
cess of anti-oxidants. But, he said I could get all my
anti-oxidants only from the "food" I eat. So, since mangosteen is a food, I took
only 2 oz a day
(maintenance dose) 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 exp
erience the severe body aches and fatigue from the chemo.
Once my therapies were over, I went to drinking 6 ounces a day, and I have recov
ered nicely from both therapies & regained my blood counts within 1 month. I hav
e 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.
Now that I am feeling better, I am interested in working the business side of Xa
nGo as I need the finances from this business desperately to avoid bankruptcy. I
am a believer in drinking mangosteen for the rest of my life! I feel great! Eve

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 h
ad metastasized. I was told that no further surgery could be done on the liver b
ecause of the number of lesions. I was further treated with 2 types of chemother
apy 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 use
d the chemo.
I proceeded with the chemotherapy and in August, 2003, I was introduced to Mango
steen 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 discern
able 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 millio
n 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 resu
lts 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 21 days & THEN I REPEATED the pro
cess X 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.
I have a contractor in my downline who has a personal friend that has fought can
cer for five years now. Five years ago she had one of her breasts removed. Two y
ears ago she found out the cancer was back in the other breast. She had a carcin
ogen level of 800 in her blood at that time. She has been under radiation therap
y since that time. She has gone through the vigorous routine that includes hair
loss, vomiting after therapy sessions, decreased immune system so she is sick al
l the time, not to mention all of the other perks that come along with the treat
ment.
Her carcinogen level has fluctuated between 125-80 during this time frame. Never
showing concrete signs of remission. 20 days ago the contractor introduced the
mangosteen juice to her. She begin an increased dosage regime that included 3 oz
/3X per day. During this 10-day period she saw her physician and she had only on
e radiation therapy. Her carcinogen level in her blood was 110. The next 10 days
there were no radiation therapies, only mangosteen juice mentioned dosage regim
e.
Yesterday after seeing her doctor her carcinogen level in her blood was 8. Her o
ncologist was EXTREMELY interested in the mangosteen juice, where he could get m
ore info about it, and
if he could speak to the person who introduced it to her.
The contractor will be educating the physician about mangosteen next week. Does
this scientifically prove anything? Of course not. Does this say that everyone w
ill have these same results? Absolutely not. Did this change the life of this ca
ncer survivor? Essentially that answer is, YES!!! To put it in her own words: “I h
ave a new beginning in life”. – William H.
I have introduced Mangosteen Juice to others who have colon cancer and have been
told
by them that they are having similar results. There are many healing properties
in xanthones.
I will keep taking Mangosteen Juice and recommending it to all others .

Xango - The “21-Day Challenge for Cancer ”
Mangosteen Juice in facing the challenge of cancer.
A) drink 1 whole bottle juice (about 25 oz.) PER DAY X 21 days
B) PLUS about a gallon water, such as DISTILLED water.
The “21-Day Challenge” proposes that individuals who have critical health issues—such
as just about any form of cancer—issue a challenge to their health condition by co
mmitting themselves to drink an entire 25 oz. bottle of mangosteen juice each da
y for a period of 21 days, **PLUS** drinking at least one gallon (eight 16 oz. g
lasses) of pure water—such as spring water—along with the juice. The 4 to 6 hour hal
f-life of mangosteen juice in the body would suggest that the consumption of bot
h juice and water be spread out somewhat evenly throughout the 24 hours.
This is important in order to flush the toxins from the body. He did say the onl
y uncomfortable thing about it all was the need to stay very near a bathroom at
all times!
**NOTE: It is essential that the recommended amount of water be consumed along w
ith the juice. As the mangosteen juice is consumed, the cells begin to function
normally to clear and release toxins into the blood stream—and these toxins must b
e eliminated from the body. The rule of thumb for water consumption is 1/2 ounce
for every pound of body weight for those who are sedentary, or 2/3 ounce for ev
ery pound of body weight for those who are active. For example, if you weight 10
0 pounds and are not active you would drink 50 ounces of water.
To make sure you are drinking all the water you need, find a large pitcher and f
ill it in the morning, making sure to consume all of the water before evening (r
efilled as necessary). Otherwise, you will think you’ve had enough water, but in f
act, that is seldom the case!
(If you are unable to drink the required water, it is better to use less mangost
een juice)
To get the Mangosteen Juice cheaper, a person can pay $35 to become a XanGo memb
er and get the XanGo at wholesale prices. It is not necessary for them to do the
business if they don’t choose to. The $35 distributor kit is then, in essence, th
e same as a "membership" to a store such as Sam s Club, Costco or something simi
lar.
