Miracles of Mangosteen and Minerals

Take Mangosteen juice with food - Some of the xanthones are fat-soluble and need to have fats in order to be utilized by the body. It can be as simple as a few almonds taken at the same time. (Dr. Joy)

Base line for water - 1 oz for every 2 lb. body weight. Example, if you weigh 200 lbs, - drink 100 oz. of water. Water is necessary to help the body remove the toxins through urine, feces, respiration, and perspiration. If you release toxins out of the cell & they can leave the body, where do you think they go? (Dr. Joy)

Prevention: (No health challenges) - 1 oz 2X / day with food.
One of the greatest advantages is to potentially PREVENT chronic disease (cancer, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's, etc.)
Minimal health concerns - 2 oz 2X / day with food
Severe health challenge - 3 oz 3X day i.e. severe pain
Kids: 6-12 yrs. - 1/2 adult dosage
Kids: Under 6 yrs. - (infants weaned onto fruit juice)- 1/4 adult dosage
Treatment of health concerns - usually between 2 oz. 2X / day up to 3 oz 3X / day.

The half life (length of time the Mangosteen juice works in the body) is short, about 4 hours, so treatment of more severe pain and other severe conditions MAY need more frequent usage.
Healing Crisis - This often occurs especially during the 1st week as the body starts to detox and toxins are removed from a deeper cellular level. It is imperative that one drinks a lot of water especially that 1st week to flush out the toxins into the urine. If you feel a little flu like syndrome or increase in symptoms you're concerned about that (you likely are trying to help with Mangosteen juice), this is likely a healing crisis and is a "good thing". Drink lots of water and the symptoms should go away.
Diabetes - Mangosteen can have a profound effect on the blood sugar (BS) so it's critical to watch the BS closely to watch for a reaction (drop in blood sugar). If you are sensitive to a drop from Mangosteen, cut back the dosage, then increase as tolerated.

Always work with your practitioner to adjust your diabetic medications. Remember insulin can promote atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), so Mangosteen can be beneficial to a diabetic in many ways because of the multiple systems it seems to affect & protect in the body. (Potentially lowering cholesterol levels & blood pressure.)
- 3 oz. is considered 1 fruit exchange.
Sugar sensitivity or regulation problems (hypoglycemia) - always take the Mangosteen with protein. (Helps prevent any spiking in their levels and give the xanthones a chance to enhance the cell sensitivity to insulin).
Can also begin with 1 tsp. 3x's a day & increase as their body becomes more stable. (Dr. Joy)
Constipation, Irritable Bowel syndrome (IBS) (constipation mainly - less diarrhea)
Start with 1 tablespoon diluted in glass of water: 1 - 2X / day. As tolerated work way up to 3 X / day THEN as tolerated work up to 1 oz / day. IBS with diarrhea seems to be very sensitive - often having quick resolution of symptoms.
Systemic yeast problem - is just that...systemic, it is everywhere in a person's system. When you begin doing something that will enhance cellular activity & begin to kill the yeast, there's going to be a major detoxification response & it's ESSENTIAL that anyone with severe conditions keep their water intake high....
