My daughter Dayana is 13 years old and has been taking depression medication for five months to help with depression. She was taking this medication morning and night, plus a sleeping pill at night. Because of the depression, she would always stay in her room. Then she started drinking two ounces of Mangosteen juice twice a day. On the third day of taking it, she chose to go to a party, which was surprising because she never would go anywhere before. Dayana had such a good time and was dancing and laughing. We started cutting back on her dosage of anti-depressants and within four days of being on the Mangosteen juice, she didn’t feel like taking the pills anymore. It has now been over one month, and my daughter is back to being her happy and kind self, thanks to Mangosteen!

All my life I have been terrified to fly. I have a prescription of anxiety and panic attack medication that I keep on hand for emergency situations. I always take one prior to flying because I am unable to control my thoughts and fears of crashing. My stomach and muscles tighten up and I feel like I can't breathe very well.

I started drinking mangosteen juice in November 2006. I had to fly from Portland, Oregon, to Oakland, California, in February 2007. I decided to test out this product and see if it would help with my fear of flying. I didn't take my anxitey medication, but had it available if I felt I needed it.

While standing in line, I was relaxed and at ease, not anxious or nervous. I was anticipating the tension in my muscles. Once on board the plane, I was relaxed and calm. Not once did the images enter my mind nor did I even begin thinking negative thoughts.

My flight was over before I knew it and as I was leaving the plane I was so relieved to have found a solution for my panic attacks. I won't need to rely on my anxitey medication for any other situations, for I will be drinking Mangosteen juice for the rest of my life.

In August of 2002 my mom at the age of 66 was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her disease progressed very quickly.

In January of 2005 she fell and broke her pelvis, this required 6 weeks bed rest. She had recovered from the first fall when she fell again in July 2005. Again the therapy was 6 weeks bed rest, but this time she was unable to recovery the capability to walk. Things spiraled out of control she became more confused. Her vocabulary consisted of one word momma. We had to guess what she wanted or needed. She was not able to recognize any of her family members and became very angry. Many times she became so agitated that she would go 4 to 5 days with out sleep. Out of shear exhaustion she would sleep in 15 minute intervals. We had to rely on medications to keep her calm. So most of her day she was sedated. At this point both my husband and I believed she would not be alive by December 2005.

In September of 2005 a friend share a Mangosteen supplement with me. I supplemented my mom's diet 2 ounces 3 times a day. In the first week she laid in her bed very quiet. By the second week she was pulling herself up by the bed rails. To our surprise, by the third week she said a complete sentence. In the previous months we found that if we played the movie Mulan mom would calm down. In this movie there is a part where a little dragon is looking for a girl named Mulan. He is sliding through the snow calling her name. It was at this point in the movie that my mom said,”He looking for that little girl."

We continue to supplement her diet with Mangosteen and her health has improved so much. She recognizes her family, she can express herself and she has a great sense of humor. It will be two years next month and she still doing great.

Alzheimer’s robs people and their families of all the joy in their lives. Not to mention there is a strong hereditary link to Alzheimer’s. This painful struggle is so senseless when a natural, safe and effect supplement is available. This is the best gift you could give to yourself and someone you love. Don't wait time is so precious.

My brother was diagnosed with a degenerative brain desease called OPCA (Olivopontacerabellaatrophy). He can no longer walk or feed himself, he has slurred speech, both his arms and legs jerk and can be quite painful, and his swallowing is impaired when drinking so he has to be on thickened liquids. There are more symptoms; these are but a few.

I am on the mangosteen juice for my pain and dizziness and have seen good results so I decided to see what it could do for my brother. After a couple months of being on the juice, it was determined that he no longer needed to be on thickened liquids which is amazing since the disease had progressed to the point to where he was beginning to choke on the thickened liquids. Also, the medication that he takes for his jerking has been cut in half and now if he needs extra medication the nursing home gives him an over-the-counter drug instead. This is amazing since his jerking was getting progressively worse and the medication he takes for it was at the highest dosage he could take and the drug was becoming less and less effective. The doctor was in the process of trying to find an alternative drug for Steve since they could no longer increase the dosage. Steve has also been able to print his name on many occasions very legibly. He has also written on his notepad items that he needed to remember to buy at the store. They too were legible. Steve seems happier and calmer. I know the juice won't "cure" him, but it certainly has made quite a difference in Steve to be sure!!!!! I'm excited to see what else it will do for him over time!

My experience began with my mom at age 66 when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. After various Dr. visits and time in the hospital. I had just resigned my self to just cope with the deterioration of my mom's health. We began like most families do managing her care with medicine. Little did I know that the medicine it self would cause serious side effects that were even more debilitating than the memory lose and confusion. In September of 2005 her health plummeted, she became bed bound due to a fall. She was no longer talking, she was very agitated and we keep her sedated. We truly believed that she would not be with us by December 2005. As luck would have it I was introduced to a Mangosteen supplement and in the course of 3 weeks she showed remarkable improvement and she was able to say a rational complete sentence.

The quality of her life is truly 100% better than it was. She is still bed bound but is not lost, afraid, aggressive, angry or sad.

Her responses are meaningful and appropriate. We have learned to listen closely when she speaks and treasure what she tells us. She can recognizes the theme music of the Spanish soap operas and The Golden Girls. She enjoys watching TV and frequently laughs out loud.

In my case it was certainly worth trying. Not to mention so many disease have a heredity factor. Because of that our entire family is now supplementing with Mangosteen juice.

I have suffered from depression for over 15 years. It usually is the strongest in the winter months. My grandmother was bipolar and I know some of my chemistry is from her. One year ago, Feb. 2008, during a deep part of my depression a friend of mine gave me a taste of Mangosteen juice. The very next day I noticed I was a little "happier." I couldn't believe that it could have been related to the juice, so I asked for a bottle and took 2-3 oz. about 2-3 times a day. I noticed about a 60% change in my depression after 1 week and after 3 weeks of being consistent on the juice my depression was truly gone! Nothing I had tried had ever made any difference. This felt like a miracle & my life has totally changed. I will always take Mangosteen juice...I am so thankful!!!!
