Does anyone here know about Mangosteen?

December 22, 2005

Hi I am just into the group.

I see the extesive list comming into my mail box from this group.

Natural healing powers of herbs and some fruits is a study of mine and

wow the info you can find!

well I have a reason for my studies. 3 of my friends have Lupus.2

have cancer!I myself smoke (bad for you yes I know!)But more than that

I find the doctors don't like herbs and such!they don't lisen at all!

So since the doctor is hard headed and I want to stay away from them

as much as possible I try to heal myself!

Now as I was studing the immune system I found A fruit called the

Mangosteen. I read it is only grown in certian areas of the world.

has many uses. But I want to know more about this. Can anyone tell me

about this fruit?

thanks

I do. Mangosteen. I have about 16 bottles of it. I signed up to try it and

Whalla - It took 3 months and several phone calls to stop the auto ship and

credit card debits. I think it is TOO expensive.

Hi Ken, I live in Asia and this is Mangosteen season:-) I would imagine Mangosteens might be possibly grown in Hawaii or possibly in Florida but nothing very commercial? I am not much of a fruit eater and dont particularly like Mangosteens as they are a bit on the ascorbic side for my tastes.The fruit is interesting to see. the outter "shell" is a fiberous hardish purplish brown and of a smooth texture protecting several soft white delicate sections that are easily pulled from the center.The flavor is ascorbic with sweet overtones and I cant really give much more idea than that of how it tastes? It definately doesnt taste like chicken!:-). Many first timers prefer this fruit to other more watery types.I have no knowledge of curative powers but here in Indonesia the people ascribe many healing benefits to these things and often I really do wonder how much is really just imagined?I just asked an Indonesian friend who knows a lot about this stuff

and he isnt aware of any qualities regarding health but thats not the last word on it.
