Hi Greg, I have
Lupus (was diagnosed years ago with ebstein barr) and the mangosteen juice has
relieved me of fatigue and muscle/joint pains. I also suffer from migraines
with vertigo and after taking mangosteen for 2 months I no longer need my
medicines for either of those. Hope this helps. Laura

This is just my experience. I am not into writing or expressing myself, so
please make the necessary corrections.
On May 2002, I was diagnosed with lung cancer (Adenocarcinoma). The tumor on
my left lung was 5½cm in diameter, plus another 2cm engulfing my aorta. The
thoracic surgeon informed my husband and I that surgery is not possible
because of the location of the tumor. He said that just a prick of the needle
to the aorta will be catastrophic. The radiologist also said that the fast
reaction of the radiation will unplug the holes on the aorta due to highly
possible invasion of the tumor on the walls of the artery. The oncologist
suggested hemotherapy, if I want to take the big risk. She was concerned about
the effect of the chemo on the aorta, which might cause internal bleeding. She
was only giving me an option because of my age (I was just 48 years old then).
She said that if I was older, she wouldn't even consider it.
My oncologist presented the worst case scenario, that without the chemo, in
15-18 months it would be downhill for me. With chemo, in three months time,
when the drug starts to take effect and the result is not good, it might be
the end of me. After almost two weeks of deliberation with my family, I
decided to have the chemotherapy and take my chance. I had the therapy for
five months, and with positive results, the radiologist took over and gave me
thirty days of radiation. I was in remission from December 2002 to December
2003.
Unfortunately, there was a re-growth of about 2cm in the location. Again, I
underwent a series of chemotherapy from January to April 2004. This time, the
effect of the drug was too much to bear. I lost all my body hair, my finger
and toe nails, my taste buds were gone and swallowing was so difficult. My
oncologist decided to give me a two-week break. My husband and I took this
opportunity to go to the Philippines to be with my loved ones. During this
visit, my older sister placed a Jade mattress on my bed. After two days of
using it, I was able to have a really good sleep. As a result, my sister
insisted we take the mattress with us to Australia.
Upon my homecoming, I was scheduled for another series of chemo with a
different drug. However, with just one treatment, the tingling sensation I
felt in my toes and legs returned. I explained my situation to my oncologist
and she decided to stop the treatment altogether. The therapy was not helping
me anymore, it had no effect on the tumor and it had potential to cause more
damage to my organs. The doctor made an appointment for me to see a palliative
care doctor which I cancelled.
I spoke with my Aunt from the States about the matter. Tess begged me to try
the Mangosteen juice. I was hesitant, but she sent me the first four-bottle
batch of juice anyway. I agreed to start drinking the juice on June 17, as a
birthday present. Three days upon drinking the juice, 90 mls ( 3 oz ) three
times a day, the bloated feeling I had been subjected to during treatment had
disappeared. I was able to carry out more activities around the home and
before I realized it, I could continue walking and performing house chores for
extended periods without feeling short of breath.
The quality of my life had improved. I haven't taken any medicine/pain
relievers since then. I had the progressive chest and abdomen scan on
September 6. On September 7, upon seeing the oncologist, she commented on my
healthy appearance. She read the results of the test, the conclusion stating:
"Near complete resolution of the left pleural effusion. Otherwise stable
features with no evidence of disease progression." She displayed the films to
us, explaining "there is no evidence of cancer cells, only the scarring caused
by radiation. Congratulations, you can now enjoy your life again! No more
tests, just follow up in three months time."
My faith in God kept me going. I just continued to believe in Him and let
inner peace flow inside me. Please contact me if you need any further
information. Thank you. Lita

I wanted to share a
personal and exciting testimony with the team behind [mangosteen juice]. My
son in law had share with my wife and I a new product he was very excited
about. Now mind you, when he gets excited about a product we listen because he
knows what he is doing when it comes to supplements and nutrition. I will
start with my wife first. She has lymphoma and has been experiencing a lot of
pain in her back. We know that the pain was coming from her lungs, due to the
fact that they continue to fill with fluid. Two days before Thanksgiving we
took her to the emergency room because she could not breath and the pain was
excruciating. They did a scan and told her it was not fluid however it could
be that the cancer is getting worse, a pulled muscle or another tumor putting
pressure on the lung. Needless to say, they did nothing for her and told her
she would have to see what the results of the scan was on Monday. My son in
law gave her a bottle of [mangosteen juice] and told her to drink 2 oz a day
and by the third day she should feel relief. She started Thanksgiving Day. By
Saturday she had absolutely no more pain. Today she is out and about, went to
breakfast with me and is feel great. I just had to sit down and share my
excitement with you and your team.
(UPDATE: Two weeks
and off all pain medication, great energy, color is good, and doing a lot of
shopping and preparation for the holidays which I wasn't even sure I would see
a few months ago.) Now, here comes the real test of your product! I am a
diabetic, take blood pressure medicines and I am 68 years old. I too, started
taking the [mangosteen juice] on Thanksgiving day. By the third day (which is
today) I noticed hair was coming back in places that I have not had hair in
years. Because of my diabetes I have lost hair on my chest and my legs. I also
have a toe that has had a fungus on it for years. Today, that toe looks
awesome and I have peach fuzz hair returning on the bald spots. ... I know my
son in law knows what he is talking about however; I could not imagine a
product that taste great could actually help in so many areas of our health.
When he told me all of the benefits of the product I must say it sounded to
good to be true. However, today you have made me a complete believer.
(UPDATE: Two weeks
have passed and I can make a tight fist, ... my blood sugar is staying in
control, I am walking much greater distances, and I am even considering
becoming a distributor because all of our friends are buying [mangosteen
juice] now.) I want to thank you all for sharing this product with my wife and
me! We feel great and the only thing different we have done is added
[mangosteen juice] to our diets! It taste great and we feel awesome! Thank
you, Willett A. C.

My Testimonial: I am Eldon A a 20K distributor [in our company] in Phoenix AZ.
I was given a battery of blood and physical tests in Late Dec 04 and Jan.05.
I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer!
I have heard many of the testimonials on Cancer from our meetings. I am very
aware of the problems of Chemo and Radiation and decided this wasn't for me!
I made a decision to take the Mangosteen Juice,1 bottle a day, plus as much
water as you can drink for 21 days. I looked at the cost to me for one Chemo
at $3000.00 and my insurance will pay $80% the cost for only one Chemo and you
never just get one Chemo, Probably 8-10 or more. Each Chemo would have cost me
$600.00.
I then looked at the cost of the 21 day Mangosteen Juice and my cost was
around $600.00. [Insert by Organic Solutions - it
doesn't look like the shipping costs were added into this calculation. The
cost should probably be closer to $700, depending on where you live.]
This was an easy decision. I then ordered in 6 cases of Mangosteen juice as
you don't want to run out in the middle of this 21 day challenge. I started
the 21 day challenge in Mid Feb. 05, I finished just in time to go to the Las
Vegas March Madness event. I returned from Las Vegas and had rectal laser
surgery. A few weeks later had a Colonoscopy. The results were "No Colon
Cancer". I then made an appointment with one of the top Urologist/Surgeon in
Scottsdale to get a second opinion. This was in early June 05. After several
tests was given the Decision of "You don't have Prostate Cancer"
I have to say this was a big relief to me and of course I can't prove the
Mangosteen Juice was the reason that I was now free of Prostate Cancer, but I
really don't care! I know what I believe and that is all that counts!
- Mangosteen, and Stomach, Colon, and
Prostate Cancer.
On July 18, 2004, we left Brooke Army Medical Center in despair. Marshall (73)
had just been released after undergoing colon cancer surgery. He had cancer in
his intestines, his stomach cavity lining, and his colon. He had also
undergone treatments for prostate cancer. The Doctors at BAMC told him he only
had 4 months to live, and
maybe 5 months, if he took chemotherapy. He said to his doctor that he didn't
want to take the chemo, and he didn't.
We told our good friend Jim Cobb about this and he said he knew of something
which might possibly help. At that point, Marshall could barely walk, was very
weak, had no energy, was ashen gray, and literally looked like "a walking
corpse." It was like he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana
peel. Marshall was also very depressed, and so was I.
Jim took us to see his friend, Ed Johnson, and they told us all about the
scientific research reports they had read about the "Garcinone E Xanthone" in
the pericarp of the Mangosteen fruit, and had learned at a recent medical
seminar. They spoke with a doctor who said there were no guarantees, or any
claims that could be made, but he
said that if he had these conditions, he would follow the doctor's advice, and
also take a 25oz bottle of mangosteen extract a day for 21 days, along with a
gallon of distilled water every day, and then go on 6oz a day of mangosteen
and be re-tested. Marshall did just that. After the first 21 days, Marshall
went to drinking 6oz a day (3oz in the am and 3oz in the pm), of the
mangosteen juice, with lots of water.
On November 29, 2004, over four months after his diagnosis, Marshall had blood
work done, and on December 9, 2004 a cat scan was done at Brook Army Medical
Center. A few days later, the doctor met with Marshall and me, and said "it
really looks good." That "there are just a few small spots left, with nothing
life threatening."
Marshall is now feeling and looking really good. He has his strength and his
life back. We walk a mile a day and dance every Friday night. We are so
thankful to God, and for Jim and Ed for introducing us to the Mangosteen
Juice!
This Christmas will be a Very Special Christmas for us, because last July, it
definitely appeared that Marshall would
not be alive this Christmas.

Pancreatic
Cancer
- Recovery from Pancreatic Cancer and the
use of Mangosteen Juice
Here is my father's story. He takes 3 oz of Mangosteen juice - 3 times a day.
In 2000 my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As we finally began to
recover from the shock our family pulled together as a team to support mom and
help to find a possible cure for this terrible invader. We found a myriad of
possible remedies, some that even di some good, but all in all the best we
could hope for was to comfort dad's pain. The diagnosis gave him six to twelve
months to live and even the few minor improvements that came from time to
time, we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were losing our father
to cancer. Dad went from various chemotherapies to surgery to radiation with
little or no results, when the doctors decided to begin some experimental
drugs.
In August of this year a good friend in the church told us about Mangosteen
juice, a health supplement that strengthens the immune system and has had
phenomenal results in helping so many people recover from life threatening
illnesses. At this point dad was not eating and couldn't do anything but sit
in pain in his recliner and watch TV. He was just biding time. After seeing
him that way we decided to try my friend's suggestion & order a case of
Mangosteen juice, at least give it a try. We had nothing to lose 3 weeks after
he began using the Mangosteen mixture he was up with the family for Labor Day,
camping the way he used to do. He was active, eating well and ready to indulge
in a game of horseshoes with any challengers. No one could believe it, but we
were all grateful to have him looking so well and actively enjoying his family
again. The following week he was called into the doctors office to get the
results of his Cat-scan when the doctor told him that there was no sign of a
tumor!
Furthermore his blood work was back to normal. He has stopped taking all but
one of his medications and is just planning on using that one up. Mangosteen
juice was the only thing different during this remarkable recovery and we are
so very grateful to have been blessed with such a phenomenal product. We owe
our fathers' recovery to Mangosteen juice! Darla P. from Mesa

PAT
Breast Cancer
-
I have a friend that has been in my life since we were 14 years old. Her
grandmother passed away to Breast Cancer, her Aunt had a double mastectomy
and her mother has been battling Breast Cancer for the last few years.
For these years, her mother has been going to a Homeopathic doctor in Mexico
and trying various treatments, the most recent being a 'black salve' that
she would drink as well as make a poultice out of and place on the tumor in
her breast. She did no chemo or radiation as she only wanted to go the
natural, holistic route.
When she went to Mexico for her check up a couple of months ago, she was
informed that things did not look well. The tumor had grown and her blood
pressure was so high that she was in danger of having a stroke at any time.
She told her MD that her daughters friend had been telling her about the
successes others have had taking mangosteen juice, but that she hadn't
wanted to try it until she had given the black salve an honest try. He told
her that while he did not incorporate mangosteen juice in his practice he
had done some research on it and had heard good things about it and that she
most definitely should try it.
That was 2 months ago and since then she has been consuming from 6-12 oz/day
of mangosteen juice. I received a phone call from her daughter yesterday and
she had gone in for her 2 month check up and THE TUMOR IS COMPLETELY GONE!!
She had a mammogram and an ultrasound and there are no signs of cancer in
her body at this time!!! In addition to that, her blood pressure was normal
and the pain she has had in her knees for many years is 80% better!
Don't lose sight of the incredible gift that we have in our hands with this
amazing product. It is just as beneficial for those of us who are blessed
with good health and that don't have major health challenges. (14 months of
drinking mangosteen juice and still not one migraine for me! Considering I
have had them every 2-3 months since I was 18.

I was in my second round of chemo for breast cancer when I first started
drinking mangosteen juice. I only drank the minimum dose of 2 oz a day because
I asked my oncologist about taking it during chemo. He said anti-oxidants
should not be taken in large doses because it could make the chemo
ineffective, but he also said I could get my anti-oxidants naturally by just
eating the right foods. That is why I only drank 2 oz a day until I finished
chemo. Then, I started drinking 6 oz a day and I really recovered fast from
the
chemo. Also, I never got a cold or flu during chemo and am still in great
health now 4 months post chemo and radiation. Plus, I smile all the time now,
and I call it my "happy juice!"

Hi! My name is Judy Mayo and until I turned 30, I was fairly healthy.
Suddenly, I was facing a hysterectomy. I had cancer, and made it through the
surgery, and tried living my life again. A few years later, I caught Hepatitis
and turned orange as a carrot! I was in isolation for a week, but that too
passed. Next the doctors discovered I had a kidney defect and by body was
wasting potassium which caused my heart to act up and not get enough oxygen.
I had many visits to the E.R. and many days in C.C.U. Eventually, this too
passed, but then I found a lump in my left breast, which was cancer. I had a
radical mastectomy and a year later, my right breast had to be removed. By
now, I had lost hope for my future. My golden thread was, has been, and always
be the fact I have a relationship with Jesus Christ. I felt HE had an answer
for my health problems.
Well, as happens in life, I found that my heart was slowing to 30 beats per
minute. I would pass out and ended up with broken bones & osteoporosis. Then
my right knee had to be replaced. I was sick, depressed, and experiencing some
of the worst pain in my life.
Then, a bright light at the end of the tunnel! A good friend of mind had just
gotten involved with the Mangosteen juice, and recommended I try it. It has
been AMAZING!!! An Elder at our church said, "Judy, I haven't seen you looking
this good in years", and people tell me I look younger.
I am going places now, where before, I used to stay home. Something I had
really missed in my life was my "silliness". I now can proudly say I dance
with shopping carts at the grocery store, and play with my dogs again.
The Mangosteen juice has made a tremendous difference in my health, happiness,
and state of mind. Thank you Jesus for Mangosteen, for life, and beautiful
people like Elaine Madrid who introduced me to this product. To be
continued.....

We have a distributor who had breast cancer that spread to the bones. Also,
she has fibromyalgia. Never a day without pain! She started on the mangosteen
juice, 12oz. a day.
Her cancer is in remission and she no longer has pain. It's been about 4
months and she's still on 12oz. dailey. She's afraid to go down. She looks
like a different person. Her hair shines, her complexion is rosy, and she
feels better than she has felt in years. She's typed out her testimony for all
to see. She wasn't planning on being a distributor but everyone who see's her
and knew her before wants to take the juice. Needless to say her business is
growing like crazy! Hope this helps. Sincerely, Tina

Re:cancer, chemotherapy,
[mangosteen juice]
I had recurrent breast cancer, and I was going through my third round of
chemotherapy (Taxol and Carboplatin)
when I was introduced to [Mangosteen Juice] back in January 2004. I asked my
oncologist about this, and he also said not to take an excess of anti-oxidants
for the same reasons mentioned below. But, he said I could get all my
anti-oxidants only from the "food" I eat. So, since mangosteen is a food, I
took only 2 ounces (a maintenance dose) a day during chemo and radiation
treatments. Once I started taking the mangosteen, I had no more nausea and I
never got a cold or the flu which was going around at that time even though my
blood counts were low. I did still experience the severe body aches and
fatigue from the chemo, however. Once my therapies were over, I went to
drinking 6
ounces a day, and I have recovered nicely from both therapies and regained my
blood counts within one month. I have come out of the depression I was in
during this recurrence of cancer. I had acid reflux and was on Prevacid for
the past 5 years, and now I do not need the Prevacid. I also had borderline
high blood pressure, which is now normal. I had high cholesterol, which is now
below normal. I had fibromyalgia, which is completely gone also. I also have a
meningioma skull-base brain tumor, which is scheduled to be partially removed
on September 2, 2004. I
am hoping the mangosteen juice will reduce this tumor or perhaps disintegrate
it. We will see when I have my next MRI the day before surgery. I plan to have
my husband sneak in some [Mangosteen Juice] to me while I am in the hospital
to speed my recovery from this surgery.
My husband is blind and a type II diabetic and his blood sugars went from the
mid 200s to the low 100s on 6 ounces a day. (It took about a month.) He has
had problems with a fungal itch all over his body for a long time, and now
that his blood sugars are lower, he is finally showing signs of healing from
this fungus.
Now that I am feeling better, I am interested in working the business side of
XanGo and am beginning to sign up
distributors. I need the finances from this business desperately to avoid
bankruptcy, so I am trying to learn as
much as I can about doing the business. My goal is Premier by Christmas!
I am a believer in drinking mangosteen for the rest of my life! I feel great!
