Lung Cancer testimonial # 5
Yvonne* provides a fairly good account of her husband’s battle with lung cancer while taking mangosteen juice.
In May 2008, my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer; could not be operated, and was given 3 months to live, we were told the treatment was very aggressive and 75% of the people died because they could not tolerate the treatment of a massive doses of chemo and radiation. He is 79 years old.
We decided to give it a try and with lots of prayers from all over the world*, I increased the mangosteen juice to 1/2 bottle a day [that's about triple the maintenance order for mangosteen juice], I would give him 4 oz. of mangosteen juice and 6 oz. of water, 3 times a day and lots of natural juices.
He never had the chemo side-effects of Nausea and Diarrhea and his blood counts have been good. The only problem he has had so far, is the radiation, they gave him too much – 30 treatments – and it burned his esophagus. He stopped eating and drinking for many days, including the mangosteen juice and his blood cells (white, Red and Plackets) went to almost 0.
It really started to get bad and scary and was touch and go for a couple of times. When a person gets this sick they lose control of what is going on, this is when it really will depend of the caregiver to find ways to get the person to drink the juice. I have to add the [mangosteen juice network marketing company] vitamins…[was what] helped with the success of the grand finale.
Today my husband Ruben is cancer-free, has gained about 25 pounds – just had his first hair cut, went back to teach his beloved Anthropology classes at the college and we are getting ready to go to Puerto Rico for Thanksgiving and spend Xmas in Ohio with our youngest daughter and her husband.
I have a very detailed testimony of what went on day by day (medications blood counts etc. etc.) * and yes; I did lots of research about everything they were giving him and about blood counts. I became an expert; the doctor and nurses at the treatment center were amazed how strong Ruben was and how good he was bouncing back and responding to the Chemo – we never told them about the mangosteen juice until the very end, the day he told us he was CANCER-FREE.
I really wanted to save my husband. [He] wanted to live, we were ready to try anything [and] we are s-o-o-o happy we did.

*It would be remiss of us not to inform you that Yvonne S. is actually reasonably well known in mangosteen juice circles. She is a truly admirable and honest woman, providing much help and encouragement to those who need info or help. Her husband, Ruben actually has another testimonial at Heart Disease testimonial # 1 and the publishers of this site congratulate him on his fight back and wish both he and his wife have long and happy lives.
However, for those who haven’t read the testimonial clearly, in paragraph 2, Yvonne says quite clearly that her husband was already on mangosteen juice and that she increased the amount he was consuming and then ALSO gave him the mangosteen vitamins. Obviously the mangosteen that Ruben had been consuming wasn’t enough and he needed more.
This is not a push for mangosteen juice sales. This is a warning to urge you to ALWAYS work with sympathetic doctors in monitoring your health. Please don’t EVER consider rejecting conventional Medicine as it usually provides excellent and quick diagnosis.
Further, don’t be lulled into thinking that the maintenance order of mangosteen juice will “cure” everything. It may or it may not! However, in working with conventional Medicine, mangosteen juice may help you live to a ripe old age. Be prudent and don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

“This is a terrific reference source for people such as former smokers who are doing what they can to avoid developing lung cancer and who also want to maximize their odds for BEATING lung cancer should they develop it anyway.”

The following video is very much a work in progress, with three different studies trying to work out a connection between genetics and the possibility of contracting lung cancer.
Genetic Variation & The Chances Of Contracting Lung Cancer
It’s certainly an interesting thought – that in the future you might be able to undertake a simple test (perhaps as readily available as a pregnancy kit) and discover whether you didn’t have the gene for lung cancer and could therefore smoke to your heart’s (or lungs’ ?) content.

- England’s The Daily Mail reported in August 2009, that Israeli scientists “have developed a sensor that can quickly detect lung cancer molecules on the breath. Early detection of the disease massively increases the chances of survival.”
- The Daily Mail reported in November 2009, that scientists at Imperial College, London, England, believe that they have discovered a drug, presently with the code name PD 173074, which is presently killing 50% of small cell lung cancer tumors in tests carried out on mice.

Hello,
is it possible to somehow get in contact with Yvonne S.?
My mother has got lung cancer and things look bad. She has begun a chemotherapy now and we don’t know if we should give her the advice to take the mangosteen juice during this therapy. Everybody around says she should not take anything during the chemotherapy.
I would be very thankful to get in contact with someone like Yvonne and her husband since they have gathered a lot of experiences drinking this juice because of cancer.
I really hope to get an answer.
Yours sincerely,
Carola Kirschneit from Germany
Dear Carola,
It is my privilege to provide you with a quick answer, I hope it will be of help:
1 “Everybody around says she should not take anything during the chemotherapy.” See: Science Daily, in particular, paragraph 3 “This review demonstrates that there is no scientific support for the blanket objection to using antioxidants during chemotherapy. In addition, it also appears that these supplements may help mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy,”
2 I am not in the position to pass on anyone’s email address. However, I can point you towards the Yahoo mangosteen juice user’s group Mangosteen Stories, where you will find mangosteen juice users and possibly even Yvonne S.
N.B.: You will have to have a Yahoo email address to become a member.
This is a small but very responsive group and I’m reasonably sure that you will get several answers within a few days. One very trustworthy member to look for is an English man called Peter (S., I think) and a couple of American ladies, Betty P. and Laurie. If you search through the testimonials, you may even find their email addresses and contact them directly. Do tell them that I sent you there!
I realize that time must be of the essence but it is the best that I can do. So, I wish you (and her) good luck and please consider giving us an update on what happens with your mother.
