I injured my knee playing football in high school in 1976. After surgery, I worked out daily to rehabilitate the knee so I could play football the following fall. After I thought it was fine, I went to play basketball one Saturday morning. While going up for a lay-up, I blew out the knee again. It has never been the same since. I have had a lot of pain, stiffness and swelling over the years. Over the years the knee would occasionally lock up on me. Sometimes it would be hours, or even days, before I could straighten it out again. In 1997 my knee locked up on me while I was tying my shoe. After three days of hobbling around, I got an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. After X-raying my knee, he told me that I had the knee of a 65-year-old man (I was 38 at the time). He told me that I needed to have knee replacement surgery. I submitted to arthroscopic surgery and worried about my future. With my wife’s help, I made a lot of lifestyle changes. I dropped over 60 pounds and changed my diet. My knee regained a lot of strength and some flexibility, but it would still catch every once in a while. As time went on, the knee began to catch 20 to 30 times a day. I began to worry that I might have to have knee replacement surgery after all. Then I was introduced to a mangosteen juice that was said reduce swelling in joints. So I gave it a try. I didn’t notice anything at first, but about a month later I was moving around and noticed that my knee suddenly had a lot more flexibility. I hadn’t been able to move it that freely since I was in high school. I now take three ounces of mangosteen juice a day and my knee never catches anymore.

When a friend first introduced me to mangosteen juice I immediately thought "why not?" The science indicated a powerful anti-oxidant, and no one can argue that we can't use more of that in our diets. I wasn't however, expecting any particular result. I did have an incredible pain in the joint of my right index finger that would flair up from time to time. I blamed the pain on four years of computer programming during the Y2K era, when all we did every day was sift through thousands of lines of computer code by clicking the computer mouse hour after hour, day after day.

When the flair ups would occur, the simple act of washing my hair with that hand was impossible. I could not brush something off my left forearm with that hand without seeing stars! Also, during the "flair-ups," as I came to call them, I could not grip with that hand except to use the pinky through middle finger. I wore Carpal Tunnel braces someone had loaned me and that provided some relief, but it always came back.

About three months after starting on the mangosteen, I was cleaning out a drawer in my den and found the braces. I stopped, and thought "omigosh". I hadn't had a single instance of pain in three months! That was three years ago, and I have been pain free since.

After only 48 hours on Mangosteen juice I awoke for the first time in months without the terrible shoulder pain. I took Physical Therapy last year for a number of weeks and followed up with the exercises at home but the pain persisted and I assumed it would just be something that would be with me the rest of my life. I could not believe it when I woke up yesterday morning without having to use my left arm to pick up and move the right one! I can't wait to see what else this wonderful juice will do for me.

A year ago, after several years of severe pain in my right thumb joint, I went to an Orthopedic Surgeon. (I had been wearing a brace designed for carpel tunnel for over a year, just to be able to type on my computer.) The Doctor sent me for an x-ray, and then told me I did not have carpel tunnel, but Osteoporosis. He said I was rubbing "bone on bone" and would never get any better. He suggested a joint replacement. So I decided that I would "think about it".

A year later, I discovered Mangosteen and within 3 months the pain was gone. I have complete movement in my joint and can literally bend my thumb under, touching the tip to my underarm. Thank God for Mangosteen.
