Mangosteen Helped My Daughter's ADD

My daughter is now 20 years old and had been on medication for ADD since she was diagnosed at 7. It helped her tremendously, but we were always concerned. She had trouble gaining weight, she was noticibly irritated when she didn't take it as an adolescent and she decided to stop at 15 and went into a severe depression. Luckily, we worked things out and she began again on meds. Last Jan(07) she came and said she wanted to stop. She is in college with a rigorous schedule and she is a nutrition major. We discussed what to keep in mind when looking at the effects of not being on meds and she began taking mangosteen juice regularly in the am and pm. She is doing great and able to focus and work for long hours and is quite content and happy (most important!). During the time she was on meds we had occassional fainting that ended up being related to mitral valve prolapse. Nothing severe, but we do check her heart regularly; especially now that there have been warnings issued in regard to the medications used for ADD.
I also have an older daughter that had trouble with acne for many years, had been on accutane twice (we couldn't find any other resolution) and finally tried mangosteen juice and her skin has become beautiful again. We are true believers!! Try it, it can't hurt!
