A Personal Mangosteen Experience

From Doe Cantrell, Houston, Texas

In March of ‘05, before we ever heard about the mangosteen juice, my “computer mouse finger” had developed a deep ache like arthritis. In early May ’05, I started drinking 2 ounces per day of mangosteen juice and by the end of the second bottle it was gone. I was in an auto accident in ’03 and had developed severe arthritis pain in my shoulders; I could not even stand for fabric to touch my shoulders. After the 4th bottle of mangosteen juice(drinking 2 ounces a day), it was 85% gone. After 2 months, I had no pain at all. I could have been drinking more but no one told me to do that. J I also got a good report from my eye doctor that my cataract showed improvement. I used to have a lot of headaches – no more! I have drastically reduced the number of visits to my chiropractor; I go once a month for maintenance. We sleep better and have more energy. I breezed through allergy season with only a few sneezes. In my 9th month of drinking the mangosteen juice, I got the results of my yearly blood test -- my cholesterol and triglycerides were greatly improved. My endurance and stamina is incredibly better, too. I am so thankful for the mangosteen juice; I drink 3 ounces per day now. Feb 07: We’re still doing great – we love this business – helping people is so much fun! June 07 – I had more blood tests done;everything is totally within normal range. Jan 08 – Blood tests are still great. Eye doctor said the cataract was non-existent, and my eyes are younger than 60 (I am not), so that was good news. She said keep drinking the juice – it’s fighting the free radicals!!! J Jan ’09 Update – Still going strong – because arthritis was already in my body before I ever heard of the juice, I know I would be on pain meds --- and I do not take medication of anykind; blood sugar and all blood levels are still great. People tell me and my husband that we certainly don’t look our ages (68 and 72). That’s because it’s an anti-aging juice – and so much more.

We are also using the 3Sixty5 Whole Food Supplement and can truly tell a difference. I’ve been using theGlimpse Intuitive Skin Nutrition for over 90 days and love it, too. I’ve noticed a softening in lines around the eyes and my pores are getting smaller around the nose area. The compliments are great!

Mangosteen and Asthma - Bo's Story

(Bo's picture has been edited to protect his privacy)

Challenged by Asthma Since Birth
a mother's story
July 10, 2008

My son, Bo was born 8lbs.11oz and 3 weeks early. He was air lifted 2 times before he was even 24 hours old. I had not even held my son. After some devastating news and being advised of an experimental procedure that may not work, I sat and watched my baby struggle. I swore from that moment, I would do anything it took and try everything I could, to let him be in our lives. I wasn't willing to give up! Thank GOD it worked. There were a lot of prayers from many beliefs.

After 13 days he came home. At 6 months he got RSV. That wasn't fun and this was ‘just the beginning’ of our bumpy road. After several special-ists and many doctors, Bo was finally diagnosed as a Severe Asthmatic at the age of two. I have tried herbs, oils, body messages, mustard baths and pressure points. I wasn't going to give up. All he keeps asking for is to be like every other little boy. My response is, I would rather have you with a little asthma than not have you at all. He is a very sweet and still is100%boy (so he has his moments).

He is 9 years old now. Our normal year consists of a minimum of 4 emergency room visits and a good dozen doctor visits, due to his asthma. About 4 years ago the doctors discovered that his condition was seasonal and he is now diagnosed as an ‘Extrovert Asthmatic’. This means allergies and emotions could set off his asthma.

I have missed many days of work, went in early, stayed late, worked from home, what-ever I could do to just get by and take care of him. I have a family who will help, but I am a proud mom and sometimes I won't let them.

One day approximately a year and a half ago, my manager came to me with this web-site. He knew I was always interested in new alternatives that might help my son. I looked it over and remembered reading a story about a little girl from Oregon. I was at work and I cried because it so reminded me of what I was going thru. I asked him were he heard about this stuff and what I needed to do to try some. A friend of his was selling it and he got me a bottle for free to try.

After a short time on the juice, the color in my son’s face improved. He was running from one end of the house to the next without losing breath. I thought it was wonderful!

After about 8 months, I ran into a financial bind and his asthma was doing so well I thought he might have outgrown it and his improvement wasn’t due to the Original Mangosteen Juice at all…. BIG mistake! He went without it for about 4 days and his peak flows started going down. It took about a week to get him back up to normal. I sent a friend to the West Val-ley, approx 70miles, to pick up this ‘Original Mangosteen Juice.’ I swore to never do that again.

Still to this day my son takes his juice in the morning and again in the evening with his normal meds. Before he started on the ‘juice,’ he was on the maximum dosage of: Advair 500/50, Singulair, Flonase and Clariton (this is just for maintaining His dosages are increased when he is having difficulty.) Since he’s been using the ‘juice,” his doctor has reduced the Advair by half. The specialist is considering reducing his meds another level in 6 months as long as he remains stable without any episodes.

This is the first summer of his life without any problems. One might say it is because he is getting older. But after the short time he was without the Original Mangosteen Juice, I pledged to make sure that my son will never be without it. He is healthier than he has ever been. Nothing is more rewarding then to see your child run and play with all the other little boys and not have to stop and look at you because he needs help.

Granted, we still have little episodes from time to time, but they last days now. Before the ‘Juice,’ they often lasted up to weeks. The value of the “Original Mangosteen Juice” is measured in my eyes when I see him smile and play!

Mangosteen And Allergies

8/20/2007 -- Allergies - Trevor & Christa from Nebraska

Our two sons, ages 6 & 7, have had allergies ever since we have moved from the Carolinas to the Nebraska. They used to take a half a tablet of Claritin every day in the morning to help with their symptoms. Since they have been drinking one ounce of the “Mangosteen Juice” they haven’t had to take any Claritin for allergies. Also my wife's migraines have diminished since she has been drinking the Mangosteen Juice. As for myself, I am self employed with a crazy work schedule so my hours are always all over the board. I could never get a good nights rest because I would wake up several times a night. No more, I sleep through the night now thanks to this great Mangosteen Juice. I also tore the Cartilage in my left knee playing basketball 5 months ago. I was in some serious pain but I never had any inflation. When I went to see the Doctor the next day he couldn't believe there wasn't any swelling. I took a train ride to Chicago the day after my injury with my Mangosteen Juice bottle in hand. I was walking on my knee with in 24 hours and now I am back to playing basketball. Thank GOD for the Queen of Fruits, "the Mangosteen".

A Look at Xanthones and Mangosteen

by Leslie Martin

We've all heard the news for years about how important it is to get the right amount of antioxidants in order to keep our bodies healthy and ward of disease. Now there's a new classification of antioxidants called xanthones, first discovered in the mangosteen fruit, which are poised to be one of the biggest discoveries of modern science in terms of health benefits.

While the concept of antioxidants may seem even more confusing when adding in another aspect, xanthones are fairly easy to understand, given their clear-cut, scientifically-proven benefits.

What are Xanthones?

Technically put, xanthones are a set of chemical compounds that can be synthetically produced, but are more often found and more potent in their natural settings. Xanthones are powerful antioxidants in a family of phytonutrients.

To date, researchers have discovered and classified approximately 200 xanthones, 40 of which are found in the mangosteen fruit. As a matter of fact, xanthones were first discovered when scientists began studying the health benefits of mangosteen based on its traditional indigenous medical uses.

Research into the medicinal properties of xanthones found in the mangosteen began in the 1970s, and gradually picked up pace as scientists began finding more exciting nutritional properties. Between 1996 and 2005, an exponential amount of research has been done in regards to mangosteen and its xanthones, and even more studies are in the works.

Xanthones in Mangosteen

To recap, xanthones are powerful antioxidants, and out of the 200 xanthones known to science, 40 of them are found in mangosteen.

But what do the antioxidant properties of the xanthones in mangosteen do for you? Antioxidants function as a balance for free radicals in the body. Free radicals are potentially harmful, yet oftentimes natural substances in your body that, when left free reign, build up and cause diseases like cancer, heart disease, and more.

The xanthones function to travel through your body, literally mopping up the free radicals on their way, leaving your body cleaner and healthier than before.

Some of the most important xanthones found in mangosteen include:

Alpha-mangostin
Beta-mangostin
Gamma-mangostin
Garcinone
Garcinone A
Garcinone C
Garcinone D
Mangostanol
Gartanin

These, among other xanthones, have been touted by independent researchers to have properties to include antiinflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiallergic, antitumor, and antiplatelet, to name just a few.

Known Benefits of Xanthones

Scientific research has made it abundantly clear that no other fruit compares in its health benefits to mangosteen, due to its xanthones and other nutritional properties.

Helping to fight cancer is just one of the many properties that different xanthones perform. For instance, one study performed in Japan showed that the xanthone alpha-mangostin had apparent properties that suppressed the development of tumors. Another, performed in China, found the xanthone garcinone E to show significant anticancer effects in terms of liver, lung, and gastric cancer cells.

In addition, some xanthones have shown significant antimicrobial effects in terms of fighting MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), which is a bacterial strain known for its tenacious resistance to pharmacologic antibiotics. One scientific study also showed that alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, and garcinone B to have pronounced inhibition effects on a strain of tuberculosis.

As if that isn't enough, xanthones have also been scientifically proven to help lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, by protecting the LDL from coming into contact with free radicals, thus leaving it unable to oxidize and attach to arterial walls and cause atherosclerosis.

Taking into account the anticancer, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, and cholesterol-lowering effects of the xanthones found in mangosteen, here is just a sampling of the other many benefits that science has either researched or is in the process of discovering:

Antiviral
Helps lower blood pressure
Helps fight fatigue
Antidepressant
Prevents stomach ulcers
Aids with weight loss
Antiaging
Combats diarrhea
Pain reducer
Heart protective
Analgesic
Anti-parkinsonian and anti-Alzheimer
Lowers fevers
Builds immunity to disease
Antiallergen
Antifungal
Antiparasitic

Indeed, even now some health practitioners are suggesting drinking mangosteen juice for relief to people who suffer from the following diseases:

Infections
Skin ailments like psoriasis, seborrhea, or eczema
Joint problems and arthritis
Dementia
Anxiety and depression
Cancer
Chronic pain
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Ulcers
Diabetes

The Fruit with Xanthone Power

As time goes by, it's becoming less and less uncanny how traditional and folk medicine seems to have a grasp on the nutritional properties of food better than modern science has in the past. Indeed, it seems in some cases, especially in that of the mangosteen, science is working to catch up.

The mangosteen fruit is believed to have originated in the Moluccas and the Sunda Islands. It's been used for decades upon decades by people from Thailand, the Philippines, and China in folk medicine to treat dysentery, skin disorders like eczema, diarrhea and cystitis, among other ailments.

One of the reasons why mangosteen is only now gaining notoriety and popularity is because, for many years, direct importation of the fruit from other countries has been illegal, based on governmental regulations to help quarantine the Asian fruit fly. Unfortunately, the mangosteen tree doesn't grow well in most or all climates in the United States, so attempts to grow the fruit here have been relatively unsuccessful.

However, as science has begun proving the unsurpassed medical value of the rare mangosteen fruit and its xanthones, juices and preserves are becoming more and more readily available.

In terms of taste, the mangosteen itself is considered one of the most exquisitely delicious fruits nature has to offer. Often called the "Queen of Fruits," the taste of mangosteen is unique, but is often described as sweet and tangy with hints of pear, ripe strawberry, and grape.

After sampling mangosteen, it's easy to see why this fruit is so popular in Thailand due to its taste. And after learning about the benefits of the xanthones found in mangosteen, it's even more clear how nutritionally beneficial this amazing fruit is.

Frank Eagle's Xango Story

My Xango Story

I first heard about XanGo in January 2005 from a friend in Atlanta, Georgia He made all these hard to believable claims about what it had done for him. I checked out his website for maybe 20 minutes and forgot about it.

During the next six months, I was put on Narvasc for high blood pressure. I had been taking Acifex for Acid Reflux Disease for over three years and Zyrtec for allergies for nearly eight years. In June 2005 I decided to research this "miracle" XanGo.

I taught biology in high school for over 15 years and have some knowledge of human anatomy and how different disorders affect the body. I have always read with interest articles about natural remedies. After nearly two months of serious study, I began taking XanGo on July 27, 2005.

My doctor's office was only a block away from the retirement community I was managing. His staff had been watching my BP to see if the Narvasc would help to control it. The previous four months of taking the drug had done little or nothing to lower my BP. Within just two weeks of beginning XanGo my BP began to drop from a high of 170/110.

My doctor began to question my habits and life style, but the only change I had made to my life had been starting to drink XanGo. By early September, I began to slowly remove the Narvasc from my routine. My BP was 135/80 (my HS numbers) within three months.

During this time I found myself not needing my allergy medication. Not needing the Zyrtec or any other allergy drug was a true blessing.

I found during the first three months of XanGo, not needing antacids to supplement the Acifex I was taking. I slowly fazed the Acifex from my system.

Since December of 2005, I have had consistently normal BP, I have had no need for allergy medications and have been able to eat foods that for over three years I could not handle.

I could go on about an increase in energy, as well as being able to sleep much better than I've slept in years.

I'm sure many of you will find my claims to be as far-out as I did when I heard those claims of my friend three years ago.

All I am trying to do is encourage anyone who is skeptical to just try it for themselves for at least 90 days and see what it might do for you. If they don't see significant changes in their health, they will be the exception and not the rule.

Thanks for allowing me to share part of my XanGo story.

Testimonial - Mangosteen and Allergies

Mangosteen and Allergies , Debilitating Headaches, Repeated Sinus Infections

From Louis A., M.D. (M.D.,Yale University School of Medicine; M.P.A., Harvard University; Former Faculty Member of Harvard Medical School).

"I am sending you this e-mail to inform you of what I consider to be a truly remarkable therapeutic response from using Mangosteen.

As a physician who trained at the Yale University School of Medicine and is a former member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, I have been somewhat skeptical of the health claims of many nutritional 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 illnesses, 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 maintaining optimal health.

I have always been open to using natural non-toxic treatments, so when I was contacted by a colleague about Mangosteen and the fact 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 xanthones which were in part felt to be responsible for its mood-elevating and energizing effects.

For years I suffered from a medical disorder known as allergic rhinitis which resulted in debilitating headaches, repeat sinus infections and required treatment with antibiotics. I had consulted with several ENT and Allergy specialists and was prescribed a variety of antihistaminic agents (Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Nasacort, Flonase) with only marginal relief of my symptoms. I decided to try Mangosteen for my allergy symptoms after I reviewed some scientific literature and was surprised to discover robust evidence that the xanthones in garcinia mangostana L. actually inhibited histamine release and also reduced prostaglandin E-2 synthesis which 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 ingesting only one ounce of Mangosteen twice a day I had almost complete resolution 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 protocol by stopping the Mangosteen for one day. To my astonishment, the following 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 exremely gratifying to know that there is strong scientific proof for the health benefits I experienced with Mangosteen.

The validation of this product by identifying the scientific role of xanthones allows me to refute the many skeptics who are biased against the use of all natural non-toxic treatments for medical illnesses and would rather worship at the alter of Big Pharma and buy into the medical establishment's view that all we need are stronger medications to vanquish all the world's diseases, notwithstanding the fact that the Institute of Medicine reports that adverse reactions to medications kill at least 108,000 people a year.

Throughout my medical career I have 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 Mangosteen which is health enhancing and non-toxic."
