ALZHEIMER'S
My mother has Alzheimer's. She is 88 years young now. She was diagnosed ten years ago. We had tried several different meds for this and periodically had had to increse the dosage due to an increase in her aggressivenes. The last one we tried was Exelon (she was thaking 2 a day begore starting the magosteen juice). The Exelon worked better than the others for her. After she was on an ounce of mangosteen juice three times a day before each meal for three months, we were abel to decrease it to just one Exelon a day. She has also been able to stop taking Paxil for the depression since being on mangosteen juice. She is NOT AGRESSIVE any longer, sleeps much better, eats better, and her memory is improving!

My name is Barbara Gjnbalaj. 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 other 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.
LEUKEMIA
"Cancer occurs when damage to the DNA (gentic material) in a cell nucleus leads to a mutation ...(an) increase in free reaical assaults which can damage DNA...and chronic inflammatory states also contribute to an increased probability of mutation...Everdya the immune system lierally 'snuffs out' numerous mutant cells that could become cancerous...When the immune system is compromised by age or disease or is simply oeverwhelmed by the enormous number of situations demanding attention and a mutation slips by, the process of malignant growth begins and spread with the speed of wildfire." -J. Frederic Templeman, M.D., Mangosteen The X-Factor.
Below is what scientists have shown the mangosteen to do with regards to cancerous activity:
- A study performed in Japn in the fall of 2004 on colon cancer showed that the mangosteen "has potent chemopreventive effects in our short-term colon carcinogenesis bioassay sytem suggests that longer exposure might result in suppression of tumor development." (pg 85A)
- Scientists in Bangkok studied cells from breast cancer and demonstrated that "the pericarp (rind) of Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) had strong antiporliferation, potent antioxidation and induction of apoptosis. Thus, it indicates that this substance can show different activites and has potential for cancer chemoprevention." (pg 85B)
- Another study in Japan in 2003 on human leukemia cells displayed that the mangosteen "showed complete inhibition through the induction of apoptosis." (pg 86C)
- The researchers followed up the previous study with another in 2004 and further stated the magosteen "preferentially targets mitochondria in the early phase, resulting in indication of apoptosis...these results indicate that alpha-mangostin and its analogs would be candidates for preventive and therapeutic application for cancer treatment." (pg 86B)
- A study in 2004 in Thailand researching the results of the mangosteen and 8 other Thai medicinal plants on breast cancer showed that the "Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) showed the most potent activity." (87A)
- Researchers in Taipei in 2002 came to the following conclusion: Our results have shown that one of the xanthone derivatives which could be identified as garcinone E has potent cytotoxic effect on all HCC cell lines as well as on the other gastric and lung cancer cell lines included in the screen. We suggest that garcinone E may be potentially usefull for the treatment of certain types of cancer." They went on to say that the mangosteen was more effective than 5 commonly used chemotherapy agents - (Vincristine, 5 FU, Cisplatin, Methotrexate and Mitoxantrone) for cancers of the stomach, liver and lung (the only drug more effective was Tamoxifen). (pg 87C)
Remember this is a fruit juice not a drug.
In addition to being anti-tumor agents when cancer ALREADY exists, Xanthones PREVENT & STOP cancerous change at every step! Xanthones provide protection from critical cell damage, by regulating gene expression, repairing free reaical damage and blocking prodcution of tumor promoting agents.
As exciting as it is to see the potential for cancer treatment, it's far more exciting to see the possibility of preventing the development of cancer in the frist place or likely preventing a recurrence when cancer is in remission! Waiting until you get cancer or waiting for the cancer to return in order to learn how to deal with it, isn't the smartest thing to do. Unfortunately many of your friends who choose NOT to supplement may not be around to celebrate your good health.
The "21-Day Challenge"
A) Drink one whoe bottle of the juice (about 25.35 oz.) PER DAY for 21 days
B) PLUS about one gallon of water, such as DISTILLED water, PER DAY for 21 days.
The "21-Day Challenge" proposes that induviduals who have critical forms of cancer, issue a challenge to their health condition by committing themselves to drink an entire 25 oz. bottle of mangosteen juice each day for a period of 21 days, **PLUS** drinking at least one gallon (eight 16 oz. glasses) of pure water-such as spring water-along with the juice. This is important in order to fulsh the toxins from the body. The 4 to 6 hour half-life of mangsteen juice in the body would suggest that the consumption of both juice and water be spread out somewhat evenly throughout the 24 hours.
**NOTE: It is essential that the recommended amount of water be consuned along with the juce. As the mangosteen juice is consumed, the cells begin to funtions mormally to clear and release toxins into the blood stream-and these toxins must be eliminated from the body. AR 1,2,4,5,6,8,29,31,32,33,34
VAGINAL CANCER
I am a 54-year old woman who has been lucky enough to live a "pretty healthy life". No high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, or any other inherited illnesses. In fact, the only operation I ever had was in 1991 when I had a full hysterectomy because of an ovarian cyst, and fibroids. I never gave birth, nor have I ever been pregnant.
IN October of 2004, I went in for my annual Pap Exam, which I have done faithfully since my mid 20's even after the hysterectomy. My OB/GYN notices a tumor on the inside wall of my vagina. It was sent for a biopsy, and two weeks later, I got a call to come in and see my Doctor. It was cnacer. My doctor deemed it vaginal cancer, and set up an appointment for me to see an OB/GYN oncologist at U.C. Davis Medical center in Sacramento, California on November 29th, 2004. After that doctor examined me, with my biopsy report, he deemed I had vulvar cancer. Not rare, but not very common. He scheduled me for surgery January 7th, 2005. I went in, had the surgery done. The tumor and 2 lymph nodes were removed. I was sent home, 3 days later. After being home for two weeks, I then got polynephritis, a severe kidney infection from the catheter. I was hospitalized again for 3 days.
It was around February that I learned about mangosteen juice. I started taking the (mangosteen) juice, 1 oz, three times a day, along with another alternative cancer medicine. On Valentines Day, my surgeon called me, and said after the tumor board reviewed my biopsy, and surgery proceedings they recommended 5 days a week, for 6 weeks, of radiation treatments. I refused to get radiation.
I had three follow up pap smears since my surgery. One in March, one in June, and the last one was October 2005. All three, were "clear" of any cancer. In November 2005, I requested my doctor order a CAT scan for me. My CAT scan showed no evidence of cancer.
I beieve that both the alternative non-toxic cancer medcine (Protocel) and the (mangosteen juice) cured me of my cancer. I have been taking both products since February 15th 2005.
My one-year anniversary of having my cancer surgery, is next month. I am cancer free, and I had no chemo or radiation. I know that the Mangosteen Juice has helped considerable with the inflammation in my right leg, from the removal of the lymph nodes. I was told before surgery, that there was above the80% chance that my right leg would be significantly bigger then my left. Almost twice the size. My right leg is only 1/4" bigger than my left leg.
I also believe that the mangosteen juice has helped me in other ways as well. Some I am not even aware of, but I do kno;w that I have not been sick with a cold or the flu this entire year. And I take care of my grandchildres, ages 5 1/2 and 2 1/2 on average of 4 days a week. They always have colds, coughs, or runny noses.
Mangosteen juice workds, plain and simple. Don't sit on the fence, you could be feeling better in a veryb short period of time, with an all natural product, with no side effects. For me, there was no question to seek out alternative methods of curing my cancer, without chemo or radiation. Mangosteen juice was what I chose.

LIVER FUNCTION
I have been anemic for several years, and have been taking supplemental iron (65mg) two to three times daily. At one point I needed Iron IV as the pills were not enough. My anemia is caused from blood seeping from vaicose veins on my esophagus they arew caused from cirrhosis of the liver.
In June of 2004 I started drinking the mangosteen juice. In June I had banding done on the varicose veins that required 5 bands. A stomach ulcer was discovered at the same time.
In October 2004 I was scheduled for another EGD and 8 bands were required. The Dr mentioned that the ulcer that was discovered in June had healed.
I was scheduled for two more EGD's each a month apart. The procedure in November showed no varices that required banding, only one spot was bleeding and that was cauterized with a laser. Ther appointment for December was canceled. It appears that the mangosteen juice is helping my body heal.
I have two lesions on my liver that will require another biopsy. In preparation I did the 21-day challenge to see if it makes any difference in the size of the lesions.
My next biopsy is scheduled for the 19th of January 2005. I will post an update when I find out the results.

DIABETES
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 Ownes, a Nephrologists, who after thorough testing found that I was developing a serious problem in my creatinine 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 Deabetic and it was felt by Dr. Owens that these were the two main factors for my kidney deterioration. The creatinine level continued to get worse and it reached the point 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 day 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 regimen of having to go to three hours per session three times per week.
I was resigned to my fate as; after all, "Modern Medicine" certainly could not be wrong after all the testing that I had gone through to qualify to be a dialysis paitent. I was also informed by my doctor on how to start the procedure for a kidney transplant if it became necessary. It was certainly somewhat of an emotional ordeal to go through, particularly with the further adverse consequences it might have 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 years, 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 sharp pains that so many people go through who have this disease. The doctors could do nothing for me and said I should get as much exercise as I could to maintain circulation. Being an amputee the only hard physical aerobic exercise that I could get was swimming. So I enrolled in a vigorous water aerobics program that meets 3-days/wk at Univ. of Oklahoma Med. School.
About three weeks ago my wife had an old girlfriend that told her that I should be taking this new product call Mangosteen. I started taking 2 ounces, twice a day with my morning and evening meals. Within about four days I began to start noticing astounding results.
My munbness started to go away and when I visited my acupuncturist later in the week, I received the needles and for the first time recieved sharp pains in my legs! The acupuncturist, Dr. Mahler, was very excited as this is the resutl he wasz searching for, was for me to receive pain!
About two weeks after starting the Mangosteen I went for my appoinment with Dr. Ownes who reviewed my current lab reports and found that all kidney indicators, inclulding the reatinine level, were completely normal.
She couldn't understand how this happened and when I explanined to her about Mangosteen she couldn't understand it and just told me to continue to do whatever I was doing and not change a thing. So, the acupuncture along with the Mangosteen might have made a difference in ssolving my problem of peripheral neuropathy. But, I absolutely know that the Mangosteen was the key factor that got my kidneys back to normal. I should also mention that besides the aerobic swimming I get massage treatments about once a week that certainly helps in improving my overall health.
Also, as a result of taking Mangosteen, I no longer have to take Lipitor, as my cholesterol level is normal with both the HDL and LDL levels within the proper parameters for my age.
Mangosteen, I thank you! Thanks for taking me from almost certainly going into lifelong dialysis into a land of vibrant health and vitality for a 70 year old Great-Grandfather who now has a lot more to live for in the future.

Diabetes Type I
I've been a type I (insulin dependent) diabetic for 35 years. I've tried everything over the years to guard against the ultimate degenerative results of this disease such as blindness, amputation, kidney failure, stroke or heart attack. Once I even flew to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico to see a Dr. Arumbula that purportedly had concocted at tea from herbs that helped. It made the most horrible tasting tea and after drinking gallons relented and gave up.
My son urged me to try mangosteen juice at Christmas time, 2004. I wanted to show gratitude for his concerns so I tried the juice. Three night later I awoke durening the night with low blood sugar. I though little of it as it had happened at times in the past due to a bedtime overdose of insulin. The next night, the same thing happened, and the third night also. It got my attention and I cut back on my Lantus insulin about 20%. I also noticed my fast-acting Humolog, which I take when I sit down to eat, was more sensitive and had to be reduced. I dropped my overall intake about 20-25%. However, this was not the most important result; my blood sugar was better controlled and this was the BIG DEAL. Better controlled blood sugars means longer life, less chance of heart attack or stroke, less possibility of blindness and amputations or kidney failure. I told my wife it made me less afraid that someday I might have a stroke, and my mind would be unable to tell my arms to hold her whenever I wanted to.
Yesterday, after drinking the juice for about three months, my lab test and the doctor's visit showed my A1c test (a measure of sugar in the blood stream over a period of 60-90 days) was at 6.4; a miracle in its own right for a Type I diabetic. The American Diabetes Association likes to see it below 7.0 but difficult to achieve even for Type II diabetics. What a whole new outlook on life this gives me. It works even for Type I diabetics.
Thank you God for growing mangosteen fruit on Earth.

PARKINSON'S
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, congetstive 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 suticase full of drugs. These are the medications that I was on: Atenolol 25mg, Carbidipa 25/Levodopa 250mg,Entacone 200mg, Clonazepam 1 mg, Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, Glyburde 8mg, Albuterol 90 mcg, 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 fingernails 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 bedroon to the couch and was not huffing and puffing.
After a month on the mangosteen juice, my blood sugar was back down into the 140's and 150's which was not bad since a month before it was in the 300's.
My blood pressure was dropping from 180/90 to 120/70 and my tremors had stopped! I was also checking my oxygen absorption and notices 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 and 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 all 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 aobut it. I will be glad to talk to anybody about this product.
Sincerely,
Jerry Smith - Lacey, WA
I just followed up with Jerry the other day, and he reports that he's going to the gym 5 times/week, feeling great, and using 2 oz. of mangosteen juice 3 times a day.

INFLAMMATION
"Inflammation can affect all tissues in the body, it is the primary mechanism underpinning diseases which attack muscles, joints and connective tissue". Dr. Frederick Templeman, M.D., Mangosteen The X Factor
Chronic inflammation can lead to Type II Diabetes, Cancer, Arthritis, Alzheimer's Heart Disease, and other deadly diseases. Xanthones in mangosteen naturally fight inflammation at the cellular level by inhibiting COX 2 enzymes.
Through the power of prayer we have received so much so quickly it's hard to put it into words, but I'll try. Bob was close to being in the hospital for malnutrition in August. He was not able to keep any food down, he was throwing up every night, most of the time just somach bile. It was so depressing, for me as well becasuse I felt helpless. He was scheduled for a test to send a scope down his throat, looking for an ulcer (which we already knew he didn't have) ! He wanted to cancel that test but somehow we made it anyway. The reason we now know was God had a plan. The doctor didn't find an ulcer (no kidding)BUT he found somehting that would change Bob's life (for the better, of course) after the results came back. Bob has Celiac Disease, a serious inflammaiton of the upper bowel. Inside there are villas, which look like fingers, which process the food as it goes through. His villas were blunted and inflammed and unable to process food. His bowels had also collapsed so nothing could get through. The stomach was producing so much acid to eat the food that was in there that it began overproducing and had no where else to go but back up. The only cure for Celiac is to not eat any form of wheat because it is a good allergy to gulten, a by-product of the protein in wheat. Gluten us used ineverything-as a stablilizer, a filler, an emulsifier, etc. It gives food "shelf life". We are back to the basics: meat, fish, fresh fruit, and fresh evgetables. To spice it up, he can have potato products, corn products, and rice products. The biggest challenge so far is making bread, pastries, and desserts in general. He does like his goodies.
The healing has begun, but it is moving slowly. The brain is a tricky thing, it still thinks he's going to throw up or have such a powerful gut ache everytime he eats. We've begun to re-train that tricky brain and trust in God and guess what? It's working!! Then one day an old friend ( a camper at Collins Lake) arrives with more great new. She has told us that she also is a Celiac survivor and she was introduced to a new product on the market that is working miracles in her life, a nutrional drink which is 100% Mangosteen Juice. How do I get this wonderful life saver I ask? She signs me up as a distributor on the spot and it arrives at my house within 5 days. Bob & I both immediately start our daily regimen of a 1 oz. shot, 3 times a day. In a matter of less than a week Bob realizes that he can eat without any pain and it actually has become an enjoyable experience again. He's begging for doughnuts, so I get out my gluten free recipes I've obtained from the internet and I start baking, and baking, and baking. How many hours are there in a day I wonder? Actually I've enjoyed it a lot, but it is definitely a learning experiance for both of us. I'm in the kitchen with the oven a brewing and I realize something spectacular. I'm not having any hot flashes! Now that is a revelation in itself, since Bob is so thin he gets cold all the time and since I am so plump, I'm tearing off layers of clothing as he's putting them on! I also have a spring in my step agian and energy to burn and my joints don't hurt, unless I overdo it with my grandkids that is.
God has answered prayers that I have recited over and over for the last 5 years. I didn't give up on him and he has proved to me that he doesn't give up on me either. The closer I get to him, the more I hear his replies. I have my husband back, the one I remember that smiled and played silly tricks on me. The one that hugs me the minute I walk in the door and vever wants me to leave the next day for work, my strength, the one I depend on when I'm feeling scared, he's back!! I can't wipe this smile off my face and that's OK I kind of like it that way. AR 9,10,16,17,20,24,25,26,29,30,31,32,33,34

MIGRAINES
I have a 9 year old daughter who has been suffering from migraines for 3-4 years now. I started her on 1 oz. of mangosteen juice twice a day... she's been on mangosteen juice for 3 weeks now, and hasn't had a full-blown migraine yet. Last Friday, she woke up saying, Mommy, I have a headache right here (pinting to her eye where they always start) I gave her a bouble dose of mangosteen juice and a Tylenol and she went to lay down ...15 minutes later...she came out of her room and said...mangosteen juice ROCKS!
She said she could literally feel the headache going away...and then it was gone!! Her migraines have ALWAYS lasted 5-6 hours, and she always ends up throwing up and being very miserable...but this time it only lasted 15 minutes!! She has been telling everyone about mangosteen juice! Also, my hubby hasn't had a migraine either since he started taking the mangosteen juice, and he usually has a couple a week!

ACUTE RELIEF OF MIGRAINES
Personally I use this great juice for my migraines. I used to have a migraine about every 3 days that would last till I took a lot of strong medication that would knock me out for 12 hours. Now I drink 4 ounces of mangosteen juiice a day. I have not had a migraine for 4 months now. It is great knowing I can live my life without worrying about migraines. I should add that I am a paramedic and that I wan't able to take my medication all the time, so now if I get one Iwill just take another dose of mangosteen juice and it should go away.

HEART DISEASE
Angina
I started having severe angina pains daily, which mimic heart attacks and can be just as deadly. I know because I lost my father and grandfather and mother from them. They all died in the prime of life, my dad at 45, my grandfather at 47, and my mother at 60 years of age. Thesed angina attacks would be so severe that they frequently caused me to black out and collapse wherever I was. As a result I have borken 4 ribs, both shoulders and elbows, and re-injured my severely injured back.
I became almost comatose, unable to function, struggling to breathe, and bedridden for well over 2 years, sleeping in excruciating constant pain, 20 hours a day or more, and praying for death. I got angry at God because He wouldn't take me.
I had another heart attack after that, and collapsed at an ey doctor appintment, where I was rushed to the hospital with a blood pressure of 40/27. I wasn't expected to go home alive. After three days in the hospital, my blood pressure mormalized and I was sent home with the diagnosis of having only a few months to live. I was hospitalized 6 more times after that thes year (2005) akibe. These stays included 4 catheterizations, 4 stints in my heart and I was told there was a large hole in one of my aortas that was depriving my brain of much needed oxygen, and causing additional dizzy spells. I had no further reason to want to live, as surgery was n ot an option, because any drug that would put me under would also kill me due to the fact that my blood pressure would drop so drastically low, they would not be able to revive me.
I was bedridden, unable to move my left arm or shoulder, which required my wife's assistance in bathing and clothing myself, and I walked in a 45 degree angle, nothing near an upright position. I slept in a fetal postion, crying myself to sleep nightly, and my wife tell me even in my sleep. She couldn't stand my suffering, so she started sleeping on our living room couch after sleeping together in the same bed as man and wife for over 35 years. This was the hardes pain for me to live with. It was the final straw. My days and nights were full of prayers that simply said "Lord, Please take me now!" But they were in vain. So daily, i began dreaming about suicide. While awake, I contemplated ways to do myself in: from overdosing, to hanging myself to shooting myself, or even running in front of a speeding car. I wasn't in my right mind. Sure, I only had a few months to live, but I wanted to go NOW, not later.
