Dr. Gil Alvarado, N.D., L.Ac.:  Today people are suffering in ways that nobody ever heard of when I first entered the field of natural healing more than 30 years ago. At that time conditions and names like Fibromyalgia, Candidiasis, AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and more either didn't exist or were virtually unknown. Today, not only are these problems known to most people, but it would be hard to find someone who hasn't met several people with one or more of these conditions. During this time, I've been fortunate to have had exceptional success helping people who suffered from these and other conditions. Of all the therapies I've used, however, I must confess, that I'm incredibly impressed with the benefits I've seen people receive from a tropical fruit called mangosteen.

For me, the bottom line has always been how much can I really help people, and by helping people I mean more than just giving them relief. Giving people relief is important, but it must be done in a way that helps them to regain their good health. When the cost of relief is uncomfortable or has dangerous side effects, then the value becomes questionable. While I have always worked to help people in this healthy, sideeffect free way, the tremendous benefits I'm seeing people receive from mangosteen are more extensive than anything most people or physicians realistically hope for.

One person with whom I worked had been suffering with arthritic pain for at least 25 years. She had consulted every type of health practitioner she could find, both conventional and alternative, and still the pain and stiffness stayed with her every day. I suggested she drink a mangosteen beverage daily, and after 2.5 months she called to tell me that because of mangosteen her 25 years of constant pain had completely disappeared. I don't know if you can really imagine how happy this woman was, and of course it made my day! She also told me that since drinking the mangosteen beverage her husband had regained his energy following a heart attack

I recommended this mangosteen beverage to another woman whose intestines were so severely inflamed that when she went for a colonoscopy, they couldn't do it. Why? Because the inflammation was too severe to do the test. After drinking mangosteen for only three days, she was pain free and on the road to recovery.

The benefits mangosteen offers to people are monumental, and I'm immensely grateful I have discovered it for my clients.
