Christine was consuming a truckload of meds for a medical directory’s worth of diseases. No longer, now she’s on mangosteen juice…and she’s even started losing a little weight.
Since the first week of July when my brother John gave me a taste of mangosteen juice, I have religiously taken doses 2 – 3 times a day.
I will be 53 this month, and:
- I am overweight by about 75 pounds
- I have been Asthmatic & [had] various allergies off and on all my life, both of which require medications
- last year I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my feet/ankles and knees & Acid Reflux, being given medication for them
- I have Fibrocystic Breast Disease
- I was also in a car accident about 1½ years ago and received injuries in the neck and back which required over 6 months of chiropractic and massage therapies. I was given medications for the pain
- after being on my feet for more than two hours, I must lift my feet up because they start to swell tremendously, to about another 1/4 size bigger (primarily the ankles). If I walk lopsided, that makes it worse. I usually end up on crutches for a day and often ankles and knees are wrapped, and then difficulty and hesitancy in walking for a couple/three days thereafter.
Within the first 4 days of starting the mangosteen:
-
I noticed a difference in my energy level
-
[I] didn’t have the severity of Insomnia &
-
the swelling of my ankles (along with the pain) started to subside
So here I am months later and I will continue to be one of the cheerleaders for this juice. My son and I just finished a few days out in the country doing [a] Shakespeare production and over those days, I walked and walked, many miles, over rough terrain.
This was the first year of doing this production that I did NOT have to resort to crutches. It was such a relief. The swelling did not flare out severely although it was there in mild form and there was a couple of hours I used a cane during the night…didn’t help walking in the rain either to contribute to the aches.
Over these 2½ months I have continued to lose a little more weight and since that first week of July, I have stopped ALL medications for all the ailments I shared with you here.
Yes, mangosteen juice is expensive but one should figure the monies issued out for treatments and RXs is far more expensive. Mangosteen is without a doubt a miracle supplement that has made my life better. I hope to never be without it.

Researchers at Duke University were invited to test readers of the book series, The Beacon Street Girls, which offers positive role model reinforcement for young girls and find out if the books possibly influenced their readers enough to make them lose weight.

FYI:
- England’s The Sun reported in August 2009, how their survey that shows more generous sizing in some clothing shops may be encouraging overweight people to spend more by providing them with a psychological boost.
- In August 2009, England’s the Daily Mail reported that obese people’s brains tend to shrink more quickly than normal-sized people, while they also have a greater risk of contracting Alzheimer’s Disease.
- In October 2009, The Daily Mail reported that researchers from medical centers in New York, USA and Quebec, Canada have found that “an obese mother’s womb may send a signal to their unborn baby that encourages them to grow into a fat child and adult”.
- Again in October 2009, The Daily Mail reported that the number of people hospitalized in the U.K. for Obesity and Obesity-related diseases had increased by 360% in the last 5 years, including a 60% increase in 2008 in comparison to 2007!
