Testimonials: SkinPoison Oak is No Match for MangosteenAuthor: Glenn S. The day before I was due to fly to Thailand for a week-long vacation last spring I was clearing some brush on our property in southern Oregon. I didn’t see it until it was too late, but my right arm had come into contact with poison oak. I was really looking forward to my vacation so I ignored my arm until, while in flight, I noticed the extent of the poison oak damage. It was a lot worse than I had initially suspected. Luckily we were staying at the Mangosteen Resort & Spa in Thailand and we had the fresh mangosteen fruit and juice available in our suite. I was drinking a whole-fruit mangosteen juice every day and also crushing the skin (pericarp) of the fresh fruit and rubbing it directly onto the affected skin. I’ve had a “run-in” with poison oak before and it took about six weeks to recover. This time it took approximately six days! The results from this powerful little fruit were amazing. I now drink mangosteen juice every day. Cuts and BurnsAuthor: Beth W. At the age of 45, I'm finally finding out how fun being in the kitchen can be! I am finding that I like this cooking stuff... however, I am also finding out how sharp those knives can be!! Mangosteen juice is becoming as much a staple in my kitchen as the butter and crisco are!! I cannot believe how putting a little drop of mangosteen juice on my cut can alleviate the pain immediately, and heal the cut in a very small amount of time! I sometimes put 3 or 4 drops on a bandaid and then wrap it on my finger cut. No pain! One day I burned 3 of my fingers on a lamp lightbulb; it was very painful. I remembered reading how mangosteen pulp had been used for war in treating burns and wounds, so I wrapped a paper towel which had been soaked in the juice around my fingers. I was trying to clean the house and so I didn't leave the papertowel on long. When I took it off, and looked at my fingers, I couldn't see any blisters! I could see a shiny spot where I had burned my skin, but it didn't blister. I tried to rub at it, thinking it should hurt, but it didn't. I only had that mangosteen-soaked towel on for maybe 5 or 10 minutes! This juice truly is a miracle, especially in my beginning stages of kitchen disasters!!!! PsoriasisAuthor: Dwayne D. My family has been greatly blessed since being introduced to the benefits of mangosteen. Specifically, our 16-year-old son, Devin, has always suffered from a form of psoriasis, especially during the dry winter months. Since taking mangosteen, he has not had a single case of psoriasis all winter. He also notices that his skin is much clearer, especially for a teenager. And it’s not even difficult to get him to take the product, because he absolutely loves the taste. I know that mangosteen juice will be successful as a health supplement. It is a solid product, backed by scientific research with RESULTS! Yellowjacket Stings and Fire Ant BitesAuthor: Jean K. The summer before last I was stung under the arm by three yellow jackets. I know mangosteen is the strongest known anti-inflammatory so I grabbed my bottle of Mangosteen from the refrigerator and poured some on a paper towel and held it on the stings. Within a couple of minutes, the pain was totally gone. Last summer I took one step in my bare feet outside my back door to empty trash and stepped in a fire ant bed. I was stung 28 times on my feet. I could feel a burning sensation going up my legs. By the time it reached mid calf, I had put my cold Mangosteen on a paper towel and rubbed it all over the bites. Within a couple of minutes there was no pain. Only 28 red spots. No heads on the bites except for one and unlike previous run ins with fire ants, no itching for days after. Our juice makes living in South Texas a whole lot easier. AMAZING!!! Sun PoisoningAuthor: Maria A week ago, a nurse at my doctor's office turned me on to Mangosteen juice, citing all of its medicinal benefits. With ailments too numerous to mention, I felt I had nothing to lose and decided to give it a shot. I began taking the juice the next day. My focus was on relieving persistent back pain, joint stiffness and chronic fatigue. Skeptical but hopeful, I wasn't expecting to see any of the purported "miracle" changes for a few weeks. To my astonishment, I began to see a totally unexpected result within 72 hours. Having just returned from vacation with a newly emerging case of sun poisoning all over my chest, I was shocked to find that after just 3 days, the lesions were gone. Further emergence of the rash had ceased the first day and the intense itch of the blisters had disappeared after 24 hours. Within 72 hours of the start of the Mangosteen juice the rash was almost completely gone. This is sufficient proof to thwart my skepticism long enough to keep me drinking this juice to see just what else it can do. |
