  Personal Experiences like this one give us confidence to tell others, no matter what their malady, to try the juice. We never know who may have a powerful effect that will change their life.
  
  This personal experience is submitted for information purposes only, and you may not tell others that they may have the same results, nor sell the product as a result of expectations from this testimonial. This precaution is important as we can make no claims on what the product may do.
  
  We just tell those we care about to check the research on the mangosteen fruit
  and “Try it, we think you will be pleased with the results.”
  
  Mary Beth’s Bout with Rheumatoid Arthritis - You may not know my story but I only became a distributor on May 1, 2005. I signed up to be able to get the product at wholesale. You see, my daughter who is only in her 30's has been struggling with the debilitating effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis for over ten years.
  
  We've been to every specialist we could find, tried every lotion and potion known to man with some improvements but still the struggle continued. I guess when I found [MANGOSTEEN JUICE] (or it found me), we were totally discouraged by
  the conventional forms of treatment and she was in such a state she was seriously looking at giving up her job and going on disability.
  
  A co-worker and very good friend, was given a CD by Leonard Hall's wife, Anne. She didn't listen to it but brought it directly to me. I listened, met Len & Anne, and signed up to get the wholesale price. My daughter began taking the juice as soon as it arrived although she was very skeptical and fearful of getting her hopes up even one more time! After taking 2 ounces 3 times day, in about 3-4 days she looked at me and said, "I don't know if it's my imagination or what but I feel better". She didn't have to tell me! I saw it in her face and the way she walked.
  
  People at her office began to notice the difference and starting asking questions about the juice. Thus, began my business career. One month later, my daughter continues to improve in health and more importantly, her mental attitude about life has changed.
  
  There are now 12 people in my business down line. We are spreading the word and our group is growing. You know, Carolyn, almost everyone you know has something they need [MANGOSTEEN JUICE] for. It's amazing! I told God if he would lead me to something to help my daughter I would do whatever he wanted me to do. Well, it looks like my prayer was answered and in the process of being grateful and sharing with those I love and care about, instead of turning 70 in a few months and singing the song, "Is this all there Is", I'm starting a new business by giving to others what was given to me.
  
  Carolyn, I'm grateful you came into my life, too. Oh, by the way, the co-worker of my daughter, the one who didn't listen to the CD? She and her husband have started their [MANGOSTEEN JUICE] business. And all this from one little CD given
  because someone cared enough to try to find help for a friend in need. God does work in mysterious ways! Wow!

  II have been taking the Mangosteen juice on a daily basis since December. Before being introduced to it I had resolved
  that I would spend the rest of my life in pain. I have had worsening Osteo- Arthritis for the last seven years in my
  back.
  
  Nothing worked but Vioxx, but we all know what happened to that. I had to go off of that two years earlier because I
  lost my health insurance and couldn't pay the exhorbitant cost of this med.
  
  Lucky me. After two and one-half weeks I woke up one morning realizing something was different. It had been different for
  days, but this particular morning I finally realized I wasn't hurting. I was so used to the pain, it took me awhile to understand that it was gone.
  
  I became a distributor of this incredible juice. One week, I oversold (some I gave to Friends) and found myself out of
  the juice. I was out for a week and a half. The pain came back with a vengeance. This was good....I never understood
  the pain I was in. I had learned to live with it, not really knowing how horrible it was since it had been there so long.
  
  There is a rule in my house. I never ever over sell again Some people will just have to wait.
  
  Another benefit has reared its beautiful head. I have been an IBS patient (irritable bowel syndrome, (no constipation
  just cramping and diarrea) since my early twenties. I am now 56. For the first time, I can eat a meal and not be in the
  ladies room in five minutes. I can go to meeting now where there are refreshments and not camp out next to the rest
  room door. I no longer take any meds or heartburn medication for this problem.
  
  Wow....this is Gods gift to me and my now growing organization. Love that Mangosteen.

  I was wondering if anyone knew of [mangosteen juice] helping anyone who has spasms associated with a spinal cord injury?

  You know I don't know if the spasms i was having were related to a spinal injury, I do have a severed spine in lower back and have spondylothesis also, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and since I began drinking Mangosteen juice those awful, painful spasms have almost completely subsided.
  
  I've been drinking Mangosteen juice since the middle of Oct. 2004 I believe in this product.
  
  I also am in remission of cancer... Hope this helps- I believe this truly helps me feel better.

  I have - - had - - that type of arthritis on the big knuckle on the index finger of my right when I started taking mangosteen juice at 2 oz twice daily. In less than two weeks I was pain free.
  
  I now take 1oz twice daily and am still pain free from the arthritis, and other aches and pains I took for granted as a
  fact of life at age 61 are also gone! Great stuff, this juice.

  She had back surgery and had a low disc infused. Had her husband bring her mangosteen into her and 3 oz a day and she has never taken a pain killer. Not to say that she hasn't had pain if she is to active the incision will ache but it is not bad and the doctor is amazed at her recovery!
  
  Okay and then there is her sister she has Rhe. Arthritis. her right hand is swollen and painful until she started drinking the Mangosteen juice.
  
  By the end of the first week all the swelling was gone and pain gone in all the hand except for the pinky finger and maybe if I asked now It would have remedied!
  
  Same for there mother she is even worse almost 80 has arthritis and age pain. Started taking the juice and is now
  feeling great! all are feeling so great that they are all distributors and are selling the juice like crazy. Watch out Oregon and California people are drinking mangosteen and feeling better! I am sure there is more but I am out of time i have prospecting to do

  I am female, 53 & need to lose 70 lbs. I was visiting a friend on Sept. 16, 2004...she told me about this juice she
  was drinking and pulled it out of the refrigerator & gave me 1/2 a mug full to try. I could almost immediately feel it
  doing "something" within my body...I ended up asking if she had a bottle I could buy from her to take home & try out. (This was Thursday.)
  
  On Friday morning I felt GOOD when I got up. I got signed up on Saturday at 9 am, and have been improving ever since!
  
  I have been treated with different meds for 20 years for Moderate Depression -- which worked on and off for me--and in September (after a year of moderate to severe depression that wouldn't lift with new meds, etc) my specialist told me I NOW  have Major Depressive Disorder.
  
  She put me on another new med, and it had taken away the lowest part of the depression, but I was still feeling just so-so. So feeling GOOD was a turnaround! (Now, with just less than 3 weeks of [mangosteen juice] in my body, I feel normal in my moods. I feel GOOD with much more energy than before.)
  
  I was on 3 depression meds total, and was able to stop the one that helps me go to sleep just last week, after receiving
  permission from my specialist.
  
  I quit taking lipitor, celebrex & zantac about 6 months ago JUST BECAUSE I knew they weren't doing my liver any good...and was just toughing it out with the arthritis & stomach. I figured I'd just see what happened when I had my next blood work with the cholesterol.
  
  With mangosteen juice my heartburn is all but gone (except when I eat after 6 pm, which is MY fault.)
  
  My knees don't hurt when I go up & down stairs now, and I notice my hands are improving & losing some of the stiffness & aches. I have RSD in the right hand, and it's always just kinda ached & been very stiff. That aching is gradually going away, too.
  
  The best thing is I FEEL so good...where as I spent the past year sitting in the house not really wanting to do much, I
  actually got in a 20-minute walk this morning, last week was elected to a seat on the Board of Directors of our HOA,
  and cook again!
  
  I've lost 6 lbs. since starting to drink mangosteen juice, I don't crave sweets & chocolate anymore, and find my self
  enjoying the healthy foods like vegetables & my morning oatmeal.
  
  I have high hopes for the future with mangosteen juice, and am truly enjoying my energy & positive outlook!!
