Mangosteen Saved My Pet

Author: Hermie M.
My dog, Maggie, is an 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel. She was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of November 2006. My veterenerian explained I had two choices, either put her to sleep or give her treatment, which would be very costly. I knew that I did not have the money, but I did not want to loose my dog so I started giving her Mangosteen juice. Today I'm happy to report that my dog is very alert, full of energy and without cancer.

Horse Proud Flesh

Author: Shannon Y.
My horse sustained a 5 inch cut on his leg from a piece of tin while I was away, and proud flesh had begun to grow in the wound site (about the size of quarter when I found it). For those of you who have never seen it, it is rampant mutated cell growth containing blood vessels throughout it. I have had horses my whole life. I'm 59, and am a licensed racehorse trainer, so I have used everything available to my vet, and some things he probably has never heard of to try to stop the growth of this ugly stuff. There have been a few that stopped the growth, but left ugly scar tissue which depreciates the value of the horse. Because I have seen amazing results from drinking the mangosteen juice myself, I decided to apply it topically to my horse’s wound before using any medication. I applied it once daily just using my fingers to pat the juice on the flesh, but did not wrap it. On day 4, the wound was flush with his leg (growth stopped) and on day 5 the wound was scabbed over and closing in width. This is day 9 and I still am applying the juice, and the width is getting smaller daily. It looks like there will be no scar at all! I now wish I had taken pictures and will the next time I use it for any topical application.

Oh, I almost forgot, I give my 10 pound Rat Terrier only 1cc orally a day, and she has no more fleas or hot spots! It's fruit juice! I am amazed daily when people relate to me results they are having and will never be without my mangosteen juice as long as I live.

My Dog Has No More Seizures

Author: Elaine S.
My 4-year-old Belgian Sheepdog has had seizures since it was 6 months old. The medications that were prescribed had harmful side effects, and I felt that the side effects outweighed the benefits of the medication. My daughter’s Girl Scout leader told me about a juice called mangosteen and what it had done for her aunt’s dog. Well, now I give Buddy one once of mangosteen juice with one tablespoon of yogurt each day, and as long as I give it to him everyday they are no seizures. His seizures would last 5 minutes. I thank God everyday for my daughter’s Girl Scout leader for telling me about this product that my whole family now uses!

Mangosteen Saved My Parrot's Life

Author: Evelyn K.
We were on vacation for a couple of weeks and left my bird, Buster (an African Grey), with a young couple who had taken care of him before. When we came home, I noticed Buster looked really bad. I asked how he had done. They said he was fine. I looked in his water dish only to find that it was as dry as a bone. I asked when the last time he was given water and they couldn't remember. They fed him, but didn't think to give him water. I was sure I was going to lose him because he was so dehydrated. So I decided to give him half Mangosteen juice and half water. He just drank and drank and drank. He drank almost the whole bowl. I was sure I wouldn't have him in the morning. The first thing I did was go to his house. I called his name and he answered. I lifted the cover and he whistled at me. I was so happy! I gave him more water and some more juice. He recovered from this incident and is doing fine. Most of the time, birds hide their illnesses until it's too late. When they look sick, it's usually a very short time before their death. That is why I really didn't think he would last the night when I saw him.

Since this incident, he started scratching his neck. His feathers fell out on the side of his neck where he had been scratching. I started giving him about 1 tsp Mangosteen juice in his water bowl. It took just about a day and he stopped scratching. Within a few days, his feathers started growing back. I questioned if it was really the juice helping, and when he didn't get the juice for a few days, he started scratching and losing feathers. So I started him in the juice again and the scratching and feather loss stopped. I tried it again a few months later and the same thing happened. It's not a fluke or a coincidence. The juice is helping my Buster.

Arthritis & Hip Dysplasia in Our Dog

Author: Judy
We have a young lab mix that when she was 3 months old jumped from a trailer that was only 2 feet off the ground, but injured her front leg at the joint above the paw. We had it x-rayed, nothing was broken, but she continued to have arthritis and a lot of pain and limping with it. The prescription anti-inflammatories really didn't seem to take care of it. Then when she was 1 1/2 years old, the summer of 2008, I noticed she was limping severely and almost dragging her hind legs. We took her in, she was x-rayed and she, indeed, had hip dysplasia in one side. She had a very difficult time doing any type of stairs or even just getting up off the floor. She limped severely. We went through a regimen of injections for weeks to help promote cartilage building in the joint. I really noticed no difference.

When I was introduced to mangosteen juice in the fall of 2008, I had heard about other animal testimonials and thought I have nothing to lose by trying it. We put an ounce or two on Macy's food twice a day and she loves it. I noticed a dramatic improvement within a month. Now on our walks out in the woods she is off chasing squirrels up trees and jumping over logs, whereas before she would pretty much just stay next to me. She does not hesitate the least when she thinks about going up stairs. She can even jump on a bed--even though she's not supposed to--where she could never do that before. She no longer limps and struggles to get up. The dysplasia is still there, but the mangosteen juice has dramatically reduced the inflammation and pain in Macy, without the side effects to the kidney and liver of the prescription anti-inflammatories, and she is having some serious fun now.

Allergies

Author: Regina
Sadie is a longhair mini doxie that I rescued a year ago. She was not in very good condition, her coat was very dull, she scratched continuously, and, thank goodness, I was able to obtain her medical records. I was right. She had allergies just like humans, twice a year, and also was allergic to fleas and broke out in large bumps where she'd been bitten. The first day I got her, I started giving her a tablespoon of mangosteen juice. After only 3 months, Sadie looked and acted like a different dog. The vet says she doesn't have a healthier dog in her practice and Sadie is 9 years old(she acts alot younger). I don't give her any meds for her allergies, and, in fact, I cook her food and feed her twice a day. I add the mangosteen to her food, and she honestly has noticed the difference the few times I've missed adding it to her food. Sadie is really a pretty girl!
