Effects of Xanthones

Author: Amod S. T., M.D.
I am an active tennis player and skier and injured my left knee twice from skiing accidents. After I was done taking my third bottle of mangosteen juice, all of my pain was gone. I had no problem playing three or four sets of tennis, when in prior months one set wore me out. I decided to research what this juice was all about. I researched materials from www.pubmed.com and studied xanthones. After I discovered the healthy effects that xanthones have on the body, I decided that I would use mangosteen juice on some of my patients. I saw dramatic results. Many of my patients are older with colon cancer, and some have other conditions like hypertension. After these patients had been on the juice a while, they were coming back and telling me what amazing results they were having. Many experienced less pain from arthritis.

One patient I remember well is an older man who had advanced prostate cancer. He was only given three months to live. He is still alive almost a year later which I believe to be in part because of the mangosteen juice. He went on a 21-day regimen of one bottle of mangosteen with a gallon of distilled water per day. He is currently doing very well.

Mangosteen Juice Works!

Author: James A M.
In October 2006 I was told that I had prostate cancer, I was given 12 to 18 months to live if I did nothing. My doctor suggested that I see the specialist at a cancer center in central Florida. While I was waiting to find out which of the two possible protocols I would be given, I was introduced to Mangosteen fruit juice by a customer of mine. I was already scheduled for another Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test with my doctor during this time. I had been drinking Mangosteen fruit juice for 15 days with no medication when I had my PSA. My test results showed that I had dropped 30 points from my last test just 30 days prior. I was drinking 25 ounces of Mangosteen fruit juice and a gallon of distilled water a day for the first 30 days, breaking it down to about an 8 ounce dose of juice three times a day.

At the cancer center I found that one of my three doctors and his family were also taking the Mangosteen fruit juice. I was given my first hormone shot in December 2006 and began my daily radiation treatments the first of January 2007 that continued through February 2007. During this exposure I did not have any changes in my diet and there weren’t any other side affects. I was still working my regular days of 12 to 14 hours. All of which put a smile on my doctors face every time I saw them. After the radiation treatments I was given a 21 day rest, and then began chemotherapy treatments, with hormone shots every 3 months. I continued to work as normal, lost some hair again changed none of my eating habits, on my last treatment I began to get some tingling sensations and minor swelling in my feet. These were my side affects and I believe without question that drinking the Mangosteen fruit juice has allowed me to have a more comfortable experience than I would have otherwise. During this period of time I had reduced my dosage of juice to just 2 ounces three times a day.

Based on my experience, it is my personal belief that cancer patients may be better served with the addition of Mangosteen fruit juice as part of the treatment process. I pray that if you are reading this and are about to embark on treatments or know of anyone who is, please give serious consideration to my experiences. Remember I met daily with other patients, who like myself, were going through the same treatments, but I was the only one still eating, working, and feeling normal. Don’t be closed minded and think it can’t help because it’s just a fruit juice. Life is too short but Ibelieve with Mangosteen fruit juice on your side, it will get a little longer and a whole lot more comfortable.

Prostate Cancer

On June 15, 2010, I underwent surgery to remove my prostate, which was half-filled with cancer. I had known of this condition for several years, however, circumstances had prevented having the surgery done. I have been drinking Mangosteen juice for some 8 or 9 years.When I learned that I had cancer, I increased my intake to 4 to 8 oz. per day. After 6 years of no other treatment, the cancer was contained in my prostate and after the surgery, I am cancer-free. I have been told that my recovery has also been remarkable. All of this good fortune I attribute to a steady intake of Mangosteen juice. I believe this is one of God's gifts to the human race.
