Figured out what was causing my herx reaction. Forgot i just started taking this juice a few days ago.

Because it tasted so good I was probably drinking to much. BOY does this stuff work.

It started my real 1st herx reaction. Although very painful atleast i know something is getting killed.

Time to reduce the amout of juice i take daily. But holly cow did it help.

Wait--does it function as an antimicrobial? I thought

it was just antiinflammatory/tasty? Of course I suppose it's

considerably easier to kill the bugs once you

get your inflammation in check...

In Brian Rosners book top 10 lyme treatments he says it can work as an abx for lyme.

Anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial to name a few.

Dr James Duke has a long list of benefits here:

Steel....guess we know where that herx came from now!!

The pure mangosteen juice gave me the worst herx ever, same as you. I think I drank too much....

You should always go easy on it in the beginning. Like maybe 2 oz a day for the first week.

If you have a cheap brand you could probably drink the whole bottle in the first few days and it wouldn't matter though.

Just bought some Thai Mangosteen Juice at BJs. On the bottle it says to take 1 fl oz/day....Not bad tasting.

Does this have the same benefits as the above?

Very doubtful. You really LIKE the taste of that? I haven't tried that one, but I've heard stories.

TuTu,

I don't mind the taste really.

I figure I'd block my nose if it was bad. Hope the benefits are worth the $$$ (not cheap.)

I took the mangosteen for months and herxed like crazy. I stopped for awhile and then started again and I am still getting a herx.

I am sure it crosses the blood brain barrier because I have had big neuro herxes. I think the stuff is great!

surg...Which brand?

Steel,

Is it okay for little people?

Thanks,

That link to Dr. Duke was interesting, the compound in Mangosteen that seems to have beneficial effects on everything is none other than vitamin C...
 

---

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
 
It doesn't even have that much Vitamin C. Look at other medical abstracts.

PubMed:

"xanthones + mangosteen"

or "xanthones + mangostana"

I would also like to know what brand mangosteen you use. I have not been financially able to see a LLMD as yet so I use things I read about

here to help control some of the symptoms. My husband was injured in November 07 and has had 3 major back surgeries and is now disabled.

Maybe when he gets better I can see a doctor.

Thanks

Hi Steel, could you publicly post the brand of the mangosteen juice? It's all right, no one will get in trouble, you're not selling it, IDSA isn't going to attack the brand.

Thanks, i want some too!

Posted by steelbone (Member # 14014) on :
 
I will PM anyone that wants more info.

FYI

I do not sell this stuff...Just love it.

once I took the whole bottle in a DAY thinking that would boost my immune system.
I was shaking and shivering and thought I had heart atack.

Later When I found I had lyme and company .....I knew it was working.

ONLY the original XANGO does that
