"Origin & history mangosteen is indigenous Mangosteen fruits to Malaysia. It is a cultigen and possibly a hybrid between G. hombroniana and G. malaccensis. Small-scale cultivation occurs in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, and in recent years also in Central America and tropical parts of the USA. Parts used Ripe fruits. Cultivation & harvesting The tree is notoriously difficult to propagate (seeds and cuttings are equally problematic) and takes up to 10 years to bear fruit. The fruits bruise easily, so they are only sold on local markets." - Ben-Erik van Wyk, Food Plants of the World: An illustrated guide (Get the book.)

"The imbe or African mangosteen (G. livingstonei) also bears delicious orange fruits that are widely used in Africa for eating or brewing beer. Several Southeast Asian and Indian species have sour fruits which are sliced and sun-dried as a tamarind-like spice. These include asam gelugor (G. atroviridis), wild mangosteen or assam auraur (G. hombroniana), the Indian kokam tree (G. indica) and malabar tamarind (G. gummi-guta, previously G. cambogia). Seeds of the West and Central African false kola (G. kola) are chewed as stimulant." - Ben-Erik van Wyk, Food Plants of the World: An illustrated guide (Get the book.)

"Many fruit preservationists have superhero-like alter egos, whether it's "Lemon" Craig Armstrong, "Bananasaurus" Rick Miessau, Franklin "the Fruit Doctor" Laemmlen, Adolf "the Reticent Plantsman" Grimal, Ed "the mangosteen Man" Kraujalis, or J. S. "the Mayhaw King" Akin. I can almost imagine "Mr. Fertilizer" Don Knipp having a wrestling match against Chiranjit "the Lesser-Known Plant Person" Parmar." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "A man in a nearby mangosteen tree would shout back, pretending to be the voice of the durian fruit, "Yes, I will now bear fruit; I beg of you not to fell me." We didn't really understand fruits, but we knew we could mess with them. We also respected—and feared—their powers. The Indonesian Galelareese tribe believed that anyone who ate a fallen fruit would stumble and fall. Eating two bananas growing from the same bunch, they said, would cause a mother to have twins. In other tribal regions, fruits were ceremonially fed to pregnant women to make trees bear abundant crops." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Queen Victoria purportedly promised knighthood to anyone who could bring her a fresh mangosteen from Southeast Asia. No one, so the yarn goes, could fulfill the task. But the queen had other cravings she managed to sate. She was so fond of Newtown pippin apples from Virginia that she waived their import duties. The idle rich have always had a penchant for unobtainable delights. Today, the most unusual subgroup of smuggler consists of the independently wealthy fruitleggers." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "He was an early champion of the mangosteen, predicting that it, and many other tropical fruits, would soon be available on suburban American tables. Campbell and Whitman, with their pavilion, are hoping to finally make that vision a reality. Fairchild described himself as a "fruit bat." As batty as he was affable, his childhood preoccupation with nature kept him too busy to get into any mischief He loved gazing at plant particles under microscopes, and once wrote that "a man could spend his life and not exhaust the forms or problems contained in one plate of manure." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Templeman discovered that in his practice, he was able to replace twenty-two medications with the mangosteen juice. I might add that at the time of Mary Lou's withdraw, I had not yet learned about the amazing benefits of goji juice or noni, also broad-spectrum adaptogens. The goji berry is sometimes referred to as the happy berry, as it seems to elevate the mood. It also helps stabilize both the blood pressure and blood sugar. / The water and Celtic sea salt combined provide an alternate source of energy for the brain, reducing the need for carbohydrates." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"CHAPTER EIGHT A FEW OF NATURE'S MIRACLES One Recent Discovery - The mangosteen Extract Now that we've learned from many prominent and very knowledgeable medical doctors that medications are not a viable solution and should thus be avoided, it would be helpful if we learned of some natural options that are available. As you are likely aware at this point, my objective is to show you how you can finally become totally free from the curse of a lifetime dependency on prescription and over-the-counter medications. I will now introduce you to three relatively new discoveries of mine." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Uses & properties Fruits are eaten fresh (considered by many people to be the most delicious of all tropical fruits - if durian is king, then mangosteen must surely be queen!). It has a delicate sweet-sour taste that goes well with fruit salads, ice creams, sorbets or fruit purees. Nutritional value The fruit flesh is relatively rich in sugar (16-18%) and has a high energy value (75 kcal per 100 g). The vitamin C content is low (2-3 mg)." - Ben-Erik van Wyk, Food Plants of the World: An illustrated guide (Get the book.)

"Among the phytoceuticals in the mangosteen is a newly discovered class of highly acrive subsrances called xanthones. In 2001 a single pharmacological study from a European university indicated the following properties of mangosteen's xanthones: antidepressant, antituberculosis activity, antimicrobial (bacteria and fungus), anriviral, anti-leukemic, antitumot activity, antiulcer and antidiabetic activity. Additionally, polyphenols and cathechins, powetful antioxidants and antitumor agents, ate present in significant quantities." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"Both the mangosteen and goji have been proven beneficial for resolving common intestinal disorders. They are also effective in eliminating a condition in the small intestine known as leaky gut syndrome, as well as acid reflux disease. Both conditions make the digestion and assimilation of proteins less effective, (especially when antacids are used). These proteins are important for producing amino acids required for building both the important neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, and the enzymes critical for our sense of well being." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"I particularly enjoy MSM powder, Beauty Enzymes, Blue mangosteen Antioxidants, angstrom minerals, fully mineralized sea or rock salts and others. In my opinion, high quality organic foods and superfoods are the best sources of nutrients and supplements there are to enhance specific needs, requirements and/or desired nutritional goals. My thoughts have changed on supplements over the years. I began years ago with the opinion that they are unnecessary. Through experience I now feel that high-quality supplements can be quite helpful." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "If this is your situ- The fabled queen of fruits — The mangosteen ation, please review Lesson 13: How To Use The Sunfood Triangle under the section Eating To Overcome Candida. Natural healers know that snakebites are dangerous, not only because of the venom, but also due to the fermentation they cause in the tissues. Ice on a snakebite will halt fermentation (and also decrease circulation to slow the spread of the venom). To stop digestive fermentation, place a cool object or icepack on the diaphragm, or get into cold water. Sucking on ice cubes for 15 minutes may also be helpful." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "The skin of the great mangosteen fruit contains highly-medicinal xanthone alkaloids. Raw cacao beans, perhaps the most concentrated source of antioxidants found in any food, contain heart-friendly catechin and epicatechin flavonoids. Up until now, what had been overlooked is that raw plant fat sources are always also powerful antioxidants. Raw plant fats have long-chain fatty acids which help protect cell membranes from oxidation. Raw plant fats deactivate free radicals by giving them electrons." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "Blue mangosteen powder.

"As I noted, an important factor is the lack of interaction of the mangosteen with the medications his patients were currently taking. This just makes their withdrawal (my primary objective), that much easier. I do have one advantage that Dr. Templeman currently doesn't, and that is decades of research using natural supplements for disease prevention. Dr. Templeman was instead trained in the use of drugs as a solution, as most traditionally trained doctors were. In Dr." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "I am now convinced that mangosteen will, without a doubt, be the most successful food supplement ever (p. 2). This is an area Dr. Templeman is currently working on, since learning just how valuable natural substances can be in resolving health issues. I met with Dr. Templeman in Salt Lake City, just before he was about to leave for Madras, India to learn more about Ayruvedic medicine. Incidentally, I made several trips to both Madras and Calcutta, India, 55 years ago as a young merchant seaman. I also met with Dr. Morton, who was about to leave for Peru." - Dr. David W.

"John's Wort, plus new entries on herbs currently sparking interest, including Hoodia and mangosteen. ¦ Nutritional Supplements: Because patients who try herbal remedies often use nutritional supplements, too, we've added the most recent studies and analyses on products such as Calcium, Folic Acid, and Probiotics. ¦ More Research Data: Entries have been augmented with additional information on safety, clinical trials (when available), and pharmacological effects, as well as accepted and unproven uses." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"The juices are noni, goji, mangosteen, aloe vera, and acai berry. I wrote an article on these juices in my newsletter and reprinted that article at the back of this book. I highly encourage you to read the article. These juices are convenient and provide you with super nutrition as well as help detoxify and cleanse the body. I personally have them in my refrigerator and drink them almost every day. 10. Take a whole food supplement daily. Whole food supplements are not synthetic vitamins and minerals. They are "concentrated real food"." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"The texture of each segment resembles that of a well-ripened plum but is so delicate that it melts in the mouth like ice cteam, with a flavor that is sweet, subacid, yet indescribably delicious. The mangosteen has often been described as the "queen of fruits," or at least as one of the world's best-flavored fruits. Jacobus Bontius compared it to nectar and ambrosia, said that it sutpassed the mytical golden apples of the Hesperides, and that it was "of all the fruits of the Indies by far the most delicious." The fruit is usually eaten fresh as a dessert." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.) "In 2001 a single pharmacological study from a European university indicated the following properties of mangosteen's xanthones: antidepressant, antituberculosis activity, antimicrobial (bacteria and fungus), anriviral, anti-leukemic, antitumot activity, antiulcer and antidiabetic activity. Additionally, polyphenols and cathechins, powetful antioxidants and antitumor agents, ate present in significant quantities. The fruit's polysaccharides are apparently responsible for its antibacterial and antifungal effects." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.) "Requiring a hor and humid climate, the mangosteen is a slow-growing tree that may not begin to beat ftuit until it is between ten and fifteen years old. Many people say that this Malaysian fruit, with its exquisite, milky, sweet juice, is maybe the most delicious tropical fruit thete is. The fruit is about the size of a mandarin orange, round and slightly flattened at each end, with a smooth, thick rind and rich red-purple color." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"In his book, Dr. Walters states that "Often chronic pain will lead to psychological responses such as anxiety, fear, sleeplessness, and even suicidal thoughts." Although we have yet to discover exactly how the these fruits resolve so many different conditions, I can see a few ways it could possibly help eliminate depression. First, according to Dr. Sherry Rodgers, M.D., 95% of the feel-good hormone serotonin that antidepressants are attempting to increase, is actually produced in the intestinal tract. Dr. Tracy makes the same claim, although she claims it's 90%." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"There are companies that sell bottled mangosteen juice, gogi juice, and noni juice. In most cases, unfortunately, these juices have been pasteurized, which means they have been heated and many of the enzymes have been destroyed. However, the benefits of drinking these juices outweigh the fact that they have been pasteurized. Drinking these juices seems to help detoxify the body of toxins, as well as supply super nutrition directly into the cells. There are many other things that seem to be occurring when a person drinks these three juices." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Like a tangerine in size and structure, a mangosteen is covered by a tough, thick, brownish purple rind; it contains from five to six orangelike segments. Carefully cut through and discard the rind. Because mangosteen propagation is difficult and because its flavor is best when fresh, availability is sketchy in the United States. Keep cool and dry. See Tropical Fruit. Manioc See Cassava. 0 MANNITOL The powdery dust on sticks of chewing gum is mannitol; it is a synthesized form of corn sugar. When used in excess, mannitol has been implicated in kidney and gastrointestinal disturbances." - Rebecca Wood, The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating (Get the book.)
