Mangosteen Juice Effect On Depression, Testimonials # 1 – 4

Depression testimonial # 1

Over four years, Mary Beth’s son, Brandon, had been sliding towards Depression. The doctor put him on anti-depressants but it seems that by taking mangosteen juice, he got off them.

My son Brandon was finally diagnosed last year with an illness called Depression. He was in the sixth grade. In pre-school, he was very active and eager to learn. He only had to hear things one time and had it memorized [and] the same way in kindergarten.

When he was in the second grade I noticed a change. He didn’t want to go to school, didn’t want to do homework. This went on for years.

During his 6th grade year our pediatrician prescribed an anti-depressant. We started with a low dose, increasing weekly. I discusses Brandon with Sheri S. and she asked if Brandon could try mangosteen juice. I had never heard of it, but we tried it anyways.

Brandon felt better after just a few days. I didn’t notice a difference until a few weeks later. He started completing his school work and homework. He was also helping around the house.

We slowly decreased the anti-depressant medication until he was completely off of it. Brandon takes mangosteen juice twice a day and he is getting good grades and back to his happy, energetic self.

Thanks to mangosteen juice.

Depression testimonial # 2

N.B.: This is the actually the second part of  Anadine’s Scleroderma #1 testimonial. Though very short, we’ve included it because, tragically, Depression can be very demoralising.

My sister, who was depressed, would stay in bed because she thought she was dying. Now she is taking the mangosteen juice, out of bed and active in her daily life.

Depression testimonial # 3

Janey’s daughter with Depression reacted badly, sometimes violently, to a doctor-prescribed anti-depressant. Mangosteen juice seems to have turned that around.

My daughter was showing symptoms of Depressive Disorder, as well as Anxiety Disorder. I took her to the doctor for some medication. He put her on Paxil!

N.B.: “…Paroxetine (trade names Seroxat, Paxil, Parotin, Aropax, Xetanor, ParoMerck, Rexetin) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant…

…In 2006 [Paxil]  was the fifth-most prescribed antidepressant in the United States retail market, with more than 19.7 million prescriptions. The prescription of this drug is controversial because of side effects such as suicidal ideation (thoughts of suicide) and withdrawal syndrome which have resulted in legal proceedings against the manufacturer…

…General side effects are mostly present during the first 1–4 weeks while the body acquires a tolerance to the drug, although once this happens, withdrawal can cause symptoms to re-emerge for very long periods of time.

Side effects [include]:

• Weight loss or gain
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dry mouth
• Increased sweating
• Drowsiness/Somnolence or Insomnia
• Increased or decreased appetite

• …Increased feelings of depression and anxiety (initially)

• Nocturnal bruxism (teeth grinding)

Within 7 days she had begun to react so violently to the chemicals, she verbally assaulted a teacher at school and had thoughts of suicide. I took her off the chemicals and put her on mangosteen juice.

She has received student outstanding in Horticulture, Student of the Month in History, made amends with her teacher, and has become a favorite. She has been given a part in the theatre arts play, her averages are high, and she’s making new friends every day.

Depression testimonial # 4

Only 2 weeks into going on mangosteen juice and look out world, Glenda’s back in town!

After drinking mangosteen juice for 1 month:

I began to experience pain free mornings. I have Fibromylagia and stayed in constant pain. After just 4 weeks the pain is gone and I am medicine free.

My blood pressure is lower and I am out of a deep depression. I had been taking anti-depressent drugs for several years and was getting worse. After only 2 weeks I started becoming a new person and didn’t even realize it. My children did notice it though and told me that I seemed different, I was happier and more cheerful.

This is one juice I never want to be without.
