During a routine physical examination given last April by Dr. Gary thingyinson in Edmond, Oklahoma, it was discovered through a lab report that I was developing a kidney problem. I was immediately referred to Dr. Kerry Owens, a Nephrologist, who after thorough testing found that I was developing a serious problem in my creatin level.
I was given various prescription medicines to take in an effort to thwart the worsening of this condition. I am 70 years old and a Type II Diabetic and it was felt by Dr. Owens that these were the two main factors for my kidney deterioration. The creatin level continued to get worse and it reached the point where Dr. Owens, with the concurrence of Dr. thingyinson, had me take home two videos on kidney dialysis in an effort to mentally prepare me for going through this invasive procedure. After viewing the videos with my wife I went the next day to the local Dialysis treatment center that is not far from my home. I had a tour of the facility with the Director and found that I could adjust to the regimen of having to go to three hours per session three times per week. I was resigned to my fate as; after all, "Modern Medicine" certainly could not be wrong after all the testing that I had gone through to qualify to be a dialysis patient. I was also informed by my doctor as to how to start the procedure for a kidney transplant if it became necessary. It was certainly somewhat of an emotional ordeal to go through, particularly with the further adverse consequences it might have for my caring and loving wife. She had been through so much when my left leg was amputated five years ago that I hated to think about her going through more trauma due to my further physical decline.
I also have had the condition of peripheral neuropathy for a little over four years, which was a result of my onset diabetes. I was fortunate in that I had the kind that made my legs and lower limbs become numb and did not have terrible sharp pains that so many people go through who have this disease. The doctors could do nothing for me and said I should get as much exercise as I could to maintain circulation. Being an amputee the only hard physical aerobic exercise that I could get was swimming. So I enrolled in a vigorous water aerobics program that meets three days a week at the University of Oklahoma Medical School facility.
About three weeks ago my wife had an old girlfriend that told her that I should be taking this new product called Mangosteen. I started taking two ounces, twice a day with my morning and evening meals. Within about four days I began to start noticing astounding results. My numbness started to go away and when I visited my acupuncturist later in the week, I received the needles and for the first time received sharp pains in my legs! The acupuncturist, Dr. Mahler, was very excited as this is the result he was searching for, was for me to receive pain!
About two weeks after starting the Mangosteen I went for my appointment with Dr. Owens who reviewed my current lab reports and found that all kidney indicators, including the creatin level, were completely normal. She couldn't understand how this happened and when I explained to her about Mangosteen she couldn't understand it and just told me to continue to do whatever I was doing and not change a thing. So, the acupuncture along with the Mangosteen might have made a difference in solving my problem of peripheral neuropathy. But, I absolutely know that the Mangosteen was the key factor that got my kidneys back to normal. I should also mention that besides the aerobic swimming I get massage treatments about once a week that certainly helps in improving my overall health. Also, as a result of taking Mangosteen, I no longer have to take Lipitor, as my cholesterol level is normal with both the HDL and the LDL levels within the proper parameters for my age.
Mangosteen, I thank you! Thanks for taking me from almost certainly going into lifelong dialysis into a land of vibrant health and vitality for a 70 year old Great-Grandfather who now has a lot more to live for in the future. Carl C. Beyrer, OK
