• After about 6 weeks of taking Mangosteen Juice, my wife and I have seen amazing results. We are both in our 80's (I just
  celebrated my 86th birthday in January 2005). We have more energy, are more alert and have lots more stamina.
  
  We also no longer struggle with almost continual constipation problems. For the first time in our lives, we are having
  regular pain-free bowel movements that do not require straining.
  
  Let me explain more fully just how remarkable stamina part is for me: A couple of years ago I had a pacemaker installed
  and when it was installed a small blood vessel was nicked and not discovered until my left lung collapsed. Ever since that
  time, I have not been able to rebuild any stamina—walking 30 feet from the living room to the bedroom caused me to stop and rest in order to catch my breath. Every small effort left me gasping for breath.
  
  After 6 weeks of taking two ounces of Mangosteen Juice twice a day, I am now walking nearly a mile and still feel
  energetic.
  
  My wife has been diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's and has arthritis. After 6 weeks of taking two ounces of
  Mangosteen Juice twice a day, she has more energy, is more alert and is interested in eating (she has never been a good eater and the last couple of years nothing appealed to her and eating was a chore). She is now eating foods she never was interested in eating before and is enjoying eating a balanced diet. She is also standing more erect.

  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 increase the dosage due to an increase in her aggressiveness. The last one we tried was Exelon ( she was taking 2 a day before starting the mangosteen 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 of months, we were able 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! Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about her progress.

  Below is a list of Alzheimer’s & memory [Personal Experiences] we've collected. Ben & Debby

  Sharon heard an interesting [Personal Experience] today. Doctor George Herald told her about a fellow in his downline in Texas whose wife has Alzheimer's. She resides in an assisted living facility and can no longer speak or respond to conversation. Her husband took some [mangosteen juice] into her room and gave her one teaspoonful a day for four days....on the fourth day, she began to speak! (1-30-04)

  My mother is 87 and has had Alzheimer's for more than ten years. Aricept was helpful for about a year and a half. The doctor had to increase her dosage several times then switched her to Exelon twice a day and Paxil once a day for it. It basically kept her from getting worse. Two months after she began taking mangosteen juice her doctor was able to discontinue the Paxil. We have seen a great deal of improvement in her ! Nina Harrison (6-24-04 ).

   

• I'm so excited that I can hardly tell you what happened today. I first tasted [mangosteen juice] on Sept 14th, and signed up that night after being presented the opportunity by Ken Budd. I read "the Doctor's Challenge" "The X-Factor" and some pamphlets that night in the wee hours of the morning.

  We had been going through quite a crisis with my 81 year old Mother. She was told that previous week that she failed some competency tests with the doctor and was told she could no longer drive and would be tested for medication to stop her dementia. This was traumatic to say the least. She is very independent.

  After reading the literature I decided [mangosteen juice] might be beneficial for my Moms memory. Three days later my Mom called with a whole new attitude about life. She decided on her own that it might be time to move to a retirement community as she did not want us to worry about her. That was great! But that is not the best part. Today my brother and I took her for her follow-up visit with the doctor and asked to retest her.

  SHE PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS!

  The doctor was amazed. She refused to put my mother on any medication and signed a note to the DMV stating that she could continue driving. The joy we shared is not able to be expressed in words. She has her energy, a sound mind, and her attitude is renewed on life. My Mom told the doctor about [mangosteen juice]. She was very supportive and told her to keep on taking it. By the way, the retirement community idea is put on hold.

  Thank you, Norma Eckblad (9-25-03)

   

• 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 others 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.

  After seeing the wonderful results that the residents were experiencing, I started taking mangosteen juice myself. I was suffering from migraine headaches. I have now gone several months with no migraine headaches. When I begin to feel the symptoms of a migraine, I double up on the mangosteen juice dosage and do not have migraines. My energy level has also increased since being on mangosteen juice. (9-4-04)

  A quick testimony about my 55 year old cousin, Craig. In June 2003, Craig suffered a brain aneurysm while driving. It really wasn't  expected he would make it, especially when he also suffered a stroke about a week later. Well, he recovered physically, but his memory was pretty messed up, both long term and short term. (As an example... in a 15 minute phone conversation, I had the same conversation with him 3 times. Not to mention, he thought I lived in Ohio - a cousin of ours lives there.) He and his wife have never been into health & nutrition, but about 5 months ago I got her to agree to give him an ounce of [mangosteen juice] 3 times a day. A month later, I called and Karen was so excited in the change in Craig over the last month. He would talk about things that happened earlier in the day or the day before. And, when I talked to him, it was a completely normal conversation. No repetition. He knew where I lived. And, he even asked how our dogs where by name! Very exciting. Debby Cossart (11-19-04)

   

• Subject: Unreal -Results with Mom in nursing home w/Memory Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2004 13:29:49 -0700

  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 about.

  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 get any worse we had made arrangements with the nurses to give her [Mangosteen juice] during the day to try and help her to combat further mental problems.

  Well the results we saw today have gone beyond our greatest hopes. Today she told us that she had been , in her mind, living in a fantasy world, thinking of me as as her young 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 thinking that a fruit drink can help that much but it sure has. For the first time 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 else we notice I will pass it on. Joe.
