Mangosteen Experiences

What's a Mangosteen? A fruit grown primarily in Southeast Asia, revered as Queen of Fruits. Scientific name: Garcinia mangostana; traditionally recognized for its enticing flavor + high value in folk medicine. The dark purple rind was dried and ground and used to ward off infection, its extract used to reduce fever. It's been used for centuries to treat dysentery, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, + eczema. Read on....

Peter's Tourette Syndrome under control

What is Tourette syndrome?

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated involuntary movements and uncontrollable vocal (phonic) sounds called tics.

What are the symptoms?

The first symptoms of TS are usually facial tics - commonly eye blinking. However, facial tics can also include nose twitching or grimaces. With time, other motor tics may appear such as head jerking, neck stretching, foot stamping, or body twisting and bending.

TS patients may utter strange and unacceptable sounds, words, or phrases. It is not uncommon for a person with TS to continuously clear his or her throat, cough, sniff, grunt, yelp, bark, or shout.

I just wanted to give an update on Peter. He will turn 16 this summer and continues to take one ounce of mangosteen juice three times a day. We see his Tourette Syndrome specialist once every six months. Dr. Erenberg tells us to continue what we're doing. This neutraceutical health beverage continues keeping Peter's tics under control.

Once in a while, when he is under heavy stress, or by the time his dose is due, we will catch a few eye blinks or hear slight vocal tics, but the very noticeable tics, such as constant blinking of the eyes, hitting his head against his shoulder and jerking his legs, has totally disappeared. We continually thank God, the nutritional juice is somehow meeting his need.

If you have a loved one with a similar problem, we urge you to try this natural remedy. We have been able to avoid the sometimes terrible side affects of prescription drugs. We strongly encourage you to give this at least a 90-day try. We make no claims that this will also work for you, but it may dramatically improve your loved one's condition.

Warning: Do not be fooled by other, useless mangosteen products. This one is the real McCoy. It was first to market and is produced by the only company that uses 100% of the mangosteen fruit, that includes the entire rind (pericarp) of the fruit.

This product has no added sugar. It has not been shown to adversely affect insulin or sugar levels in any way. It is completely free of pesticides and toxins.

To find out more, please visit our web site where you can try a bottle at retail price or buy a case wholesale. We encourage you to listen to more product experiences. If you're in a hurry, just give us a call at (440) 258-4955. We'd be happy to speak with you.

We find help for our son Peter's Tics

What is Tourette syndrome?

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated involuntary movements and uncontrollable vocal (phonic) sounds called tics.

The first symptoms of TS are usually facial tics - commonly eye blinking. However, facial tics can also include nose twitching or grimaces. With time, other motor tics may appear such as head jerking, neck stretching, foot stamping, or body twisting and bending.

TS patients may utter strange and unacceptable sounds, words, or phrases. It is not uncommon for a person with TS to continuously clear his or her throat, cough, sniff, grunt, yelp, bark, or shout.

Peter celebrates his thirteenth birthday in a few days. It continues to amaze us that we are still able to keep Peter's tics under control using only an all-natural health product. We're giving him once ounce, three times daily of this wonderful juice.

If we forget to give Peter his juice, the tics come back, or if he has a particularly stressful day, we catch a quick blink of the eye or mild vocal tic. We know the problem is still there, but, thank God, the nutritional juice is somehow meeting his need.

There is no longer the hitting of his shoulder with his chin. Nor are his legs jumping outward. Before, it was very difficult to even talk to him with the steady stream of quite noticeable, vocal tics he was experiencing, but now that's beautifully under control.

Let me tell you the story of how it all began....


When Peter was about five years old, he began blinking and squinting his eyes continually. A year or two later, as he was eating at the table with us, his sister Monika, who was sitting beside him, noticed he was making continual, annoying grunts.

The constant blinking and vocal grunts continued for several years, but we never paid much attention to them and never made an issue out of it. We hoped it would stop if we acted like we didn't notice it and thought it might just go away - thought he might just grow out of it, if we simply ignored it.

This went on for several years. Then things changed dramatically, shortly after Peter turned 11. Around Christmastime, we noticed Peter hitting his chin against his shoulder - sometimes his left shoulder, sometimes the right one.

I became very concerned at this very noticeable increase of involuntary behaviors. Then it reached a point where Peter even came to me, complaining about his annoying problem.

He told me he kept feeling something inside when it happened and it was really bothering him because he couldn't do anything to stop it. He also told me his legs kept jumping outward and he couldn't stop them. At the same time, the vocal grunts magnified to a point where you could hardly have a conversation with him.

On December 14, 2004, we scheduled an appointment with our family doctor to see what could be done to help Peter. After examining him, she felt he needed to see a specialist and referred us to Dr. Erenberg at Cleveland Clinic, who is a veteran pediatric neurologist, seeing only patients with Tourette Syndrome.

Unfortunately, the soonest Dr. Erenberg could see Peter was February 2, 2005. After an hour and a half exam by two medical doctors, Peter was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and ADHD without hyperactivity. The involuntary actions and vocal grunts we were told were tics.

The doctor wanted to prescribe Strattera, but when we found out how expensive it was, we were delayed by having to begin an application process for financial assistance - a long, drawn out procedure.

At the same time, a friend introduced us to a nutritional juice which we decided to try on Peter. We began giving him one ounce three times a day, really not expecting anything to change.

After five days, my husband Kurt turned to me and asked, "Have you noticed anything with Peter?"

I said, "Well, yes. I noticed the tics are gone." We thought maybe it was just a coincidence or that perhaps the tics had gone into some kind of remission. But then we discovered that if we missed one of the "doses" of the nutritional juice, the tics started coming back.

After a long, stressful day at school, Peter would come home with vocal tics. We immediately gave him a dose of the nutritional juice and they went away within minutes. Sometimes he would have tics when he got up in the morning, so we hurried to get the juice in him. Again, within minutes, the tics would disappear.

Just to be sure we weren't imagining things, we asked Peter's teacher if she had noticed any more tics. She assured us they were gone.

In the mornings or if we happen to forget to give him the nutritional juice, the tics reappear. It most definitely appears to be controlling the tics. We find this absolutely amazing!

It's our hope that what we have found may be of help to some other family who has a loved one suffering from Tourette Syndrome. Believe me, it's certainly worth a try.

If you're in a hurry, just give us a call at (440) 258-4955. We'd be happy to speak with you. We make no claims that this will also work for you, but you may just find it could change your life dramatically, too.

Mangosteen Experiences

You're probably wondering why you haven't heard of the mangosteen before. Surprisingly, until now the mangosteen fruit had never been properly introduced outside of its native region. Read some truly amazing experiences of people who've taken a mangosteen juice product made from the whole fruit puree, capturing all of the health restoring properties known as Xanthones.

Sinus and Respiratory Infection

When we first got on mangosteen juice, I came down sick with what I guess was a terrible virus – maybe flu. I don’t know. Anyway, I could tell my body was in a major battle. Felt like a semi ran me over and was aching all over. We had only gotten the mangosteen juice to help our daughter Monika's fibromyalgia and then our son Peter's Tourette syndrome, but I decided to give it a try myself instead of using medicine to get through this. Figured it surely couldn’t hurt me.

I took it like you would take Tylenol, about the same dose every four hours. Except then I got this powerful throbbing headache. (Normally, I never get headaches.) When I put my head down it throbbed even worse so I recognized it as a pounding sinus infection. At that point, I decided to take a mega dose of the mangosteen juice - about 6 oz. It wasn’t 20 minutes later when huge globs of phlegm came up all at once, which is quite untypical for me. I usually go days battling phlegm after a respiratory infection. BINGO! My headache was completely gone. It was absolutely incredible!

However, I still felt terribly weak and washed out like my body was still battling a major attack. I could do nothing but lay on the couch. Then the infection tried to attack my lungs. At the first sign of wheezing, I took another mega dose of the mangosteen juice and BINGO! My chest cleared within minutes.

Now I’m not one to take medicine, so maybe that’s why I got such powerful results with mangosteen juice. I don’t know. Anyway, this stuff left an indelible impression on me. Believe me!

Pain and Toxic Poisoning
My wife and I were walking in the mall when we noticed a man in obvious pain, trying to seat himself on a bench. Read his amazing story.

---
Let me first share a bit of my background. I'm on total disability from the railroad. The place where I worked at the railroad had a vat in the ground with a steamer. They added a chemical down there 1/4" deep. I didn't see it, but I had heard that back in the 60s, they threw a cat in there and it turned to bone right in front of their eyes.

The chemical takes the grease off, but it plays havoc with people's sinuses and blood pressure. It put holes in my pants and ate my shoes up. What it does is relax the muscles in the lungs until you finally quit breathing. People started dying.

I decided to take a personal day to find out about this chemical. They came up with three sheets of information. I went to the college and a professor ran it thru EPA. She told me, "You stop breathing this chemical! The more steam you put to it, the deadlier it becomes. Breathing it in is like drinking Drano."

They figured I'd be dead before I got on disability. Every time I got by the vat, I got deadly sick, throwing up and turning red. But you know what? No chemist on earth could trace the chemical. I found out later that the chemist who made this chemical in New Jersey made it the same as the body chemistry so it's impossible to prove toxic tort in court and the railroad's not admitting their guilt.

If you do blood work, you're not going to find it because it's the same as your body chemistry. They kept changing the the name of the chemical. They told us, "It's okay. You can wash your hands in it." Sure, but when you got the steam from it, it tore your pants up. Because it was the railroad, they came under Federal jurisdiction. It was impossible to prove anything.

I was spending $100-$400 a month on Theralgesic pain patches and then another $200 for more patches. Earlier, side affects of Celebrex, Vioxx, and other drugs put me in the hospital. Now I'm spending $100 a month on a special drug they normally give to cancer patients. It's supposed to relax the muscles.

When I got the mangosteen juice on April 7, I had screwed my back up 2 days earlier so I could hardly walk. A kid had hit me on Rt. 57, going 55 m.p.h. The impact screwed up my back, causing nerve damage. The doctor told me I could end up in a wheelchair if they did surgery to try to correct my problem. I told them, "No thanks. I'll deal with the pain."

I chilled the mangosteen juice and took 3 ounces with food 3 times on Friday. Then on Saturday, I took 3 ounces 3 times, and I started feeling the pain in my legs going away. On Sunday, I took 3 ounces again 3 times a day and I was feeling better.

On the 10th, three days later, I was going thru a bunch of old tapes and found this one I really like. I was drinking ice cold water and felt like it gave me a high. I started getting up and dancing to this tape. It was unbelievable because just four days earlier, I couldn't hardly walk. The more water I drank, the more the pain went away. It made me feel like a kid again.

Because I lived on a fixed income, I had to reduce the mangosteen juice to 1 ounce 3 times a day. The good news is, I lost 16 1/2 lbs in 10 days. I felt so good, I was walking around at the mall and then got on my bike and rode.

Now that I'm at the bottom of the bottle, my back and legs are starting to hurt again. I have to order another case next month.
