I recommend the product and I have no financial interest in it. Many of the folks that recommend it have no financial ties either but there are a few.
If one is curious just ask. There is no scam going on here. Just sharing of information and sincere attempts to help one another. Yes, do your research and make informed decisions with your doc's approval.
This is a good product that we in the lyme community need to know about because it really helps with inflammation. Lyme disease is known to cause chronic inflammation.

I'm just wondering why it can't be sold in a store? Can someone explain please?
It seems if would benefit the maker of this product financially if it was readily available to the public.

Stella:
I believe it will be available in stores some day. Often, a company will sign up people to be distributors as their initial marketing scheme. It is a way to get the product into the marketplace while still making a decent profit.
I signed on as a distributor to be able to get it at a better price. One perk is that when family members order from me I am able to recoup some of my investment to help pay for my personal supply.
I don't really gain financially but, it does help with the high cost of the product. And, it really helps the company to expand their market without the enormous expense of ditribution to retail stores. My best guess is that it will eventually be in stores as the popularity expands. Hence, we, the distributors are furthering that along.
I hope this makes some sense. I signed on because My family and I really like the stuff. It helps with inflammation and digestion for me. And, it tastes pretty darn good. (AM not trying to sell it here).

i just ordered a case of xango off amazon for 130 (includes shipping) unfortunately i think a lot of us feel sooooooo bad we are willing to try a lot of things we normally wouldnt.
for me its only money, and if it helps, its worth so much more than $$. if it helped one person, than there is a chance it can help others.
does anyone know if this is similar to noni juice?
i will be sure to keep everyone in the loop about the juice.

Could someone PM me with the buying info too?
Does it taste okay or not that pleasant and is it acid or alkaline?
Thank you,
Vanilla
I wish they sold the whole fruit here. I use to eat them every day when I was in Bali. It is one of my favorite fruits. Of course I was not eating the rind but the fruit was tasty.

Its probably not offered in a store because smart companies are now realizing that consumer-consumer marketing grows business faster, more effectively, and is more beneficial than using advertising and store sales. When a good company does this with a good product, you will never find it in a store. Unethical company or not-so-good product, then they may eventually transfer it to a store.
Now off to PM someone to find out more about the Xango.

Absoulutely correct! Beachcomber pretty well summed it up also....but I tend to agree that it will never be sold in stores. Xango LLC has a commitment to its distributors.

Yes, Searching, it is still helping everything -- my eyes, intestinal health, gums and probably more I don't even know about. I drink the Ultra mangosteen with the 70 minerals and vitamins added. I order it online from vitacost.
Lyme ED -- I asked my doctor about it and he knew nothing. I spoke with Dr. John Edwards, who works with Xango and he's all for it and puts his patients on it. He has seen cancer, etc go down.
I too have wondered if the pills work. I've not tried it myself. So far, no one has seen any benefit? One advantage: no sugar.
Ok, yours truly finally got a bottle of the Xango to try, at the health Expo we just had last weekend.
This is what I've noticed so far, from sampling it for a couple days: it has given me a headache, so I wonder whether I've really got to drink tons of water with it? And whether this is a detox. So I'm just trying the tiniest little amount now at a time.
And second, I noticed it sharpens my vision even more.
Lipoma question -- yes, I've been told lipomas can go with Lyme. You know, in the very beginning of drinking the mangosteen juice, some lipomas in my calves softened a bit. But then that stopped. Also, the major one in my thigh never did soften. Since lipomas grow, my vote is to have a lipoma removed when it is smaller rather than larger.

Robin.... My first three days on Xango produced a nice hefty headache. I hung in there with it and it went away. After that it was smooth sailing.
Toxin clearing for sure!

quote:Originally posted by Lymetoo: What kind of symptom, Kayda?
Something weird happened with my stomach. It was an odd churning sort of feeling. I also got a weird feeling in my head. It wasn't a headache, but just sort of different like something was going on. Nothing else was different. Perhaps if I'd taken more, I would have gotten the headache you spoke of.
An interesting thing happened today. I was at the health food store to get some Primal Defense (this works well for me against yeast) and the manager was giving samples of Mangosteen juice. It was the store brand. He said it contained 40% reconstituted juice. He also said it did not have added water. It was juice from the whole fruit including the rind. Well, my kids and i tasted it. I thought it tasted a lot like agave nectar, but not as sweet. My kids didn't like it, though. It also had elderberry juice in it and that is what they didn't like.
I noticed I had a lot more energy this afternoon compared to yesterday. Could mangosteen work this quickly? Maybe it was just a coincidence. But, if it was the mangosteen, that gave me this extra energy, then it would definitely be worth it!
I didn't buy it because my kids didn't like the taste. Is Xango 100% juice? or is it 40% like this brand is?

Well it sounds really good but I am still wondering if it is acid or alkaline and come to think of it when I was eating mangosteens every day I was feeling rather healthy and was boogie boarding every day.

Lymetoo, thx for clueing me in on the detox effect. I figured as much...
Kayda -- yes, it works quickly. The first time I tried it, it was within that same hour that my eye pain and blurry focus diminished. The second hour, my sinuses ran. 24 hours later, no more dark glasses.
Vanilla -- I would think it's alkalinizing since it's anti-inflam and an anti-oxidant. Also, where were you when you were eating mangosteen fruit every day?

I had systemic Candida. It was nasty. I thought the juice would make it worse. I test my PH most days. Since drinking the juice my PH is much more alkaline. Not sure if this is a coincidence.

Has anyone tried Mangosteen 100 and how does it rate vs Xango? Mangosteen 100 is produced by Genesis Today of Austin, TX and I found a 32 ounce bottle in a local health food store for $35.
The only 100% Pure Wild Harvested Mangosteen juice product on the market that contains the highest levels of Polyphenolic Compounds known as Xanthones
Ingredients Listed on Label:
100% wild harvested Mangosteen juice from Genesis Today's proprietary blend of whole mangosteen fruit, including the thick tough and bitter inner and outer rind (Pericarp) and the snow white fleshy interior (pulp and seeds), providing the highest levels of Polyphenolic compounds known as xanthones.
�Supports youthful cellular regeneration and healthy aging*�
�Supports cardiovascular health, by acting as a free radical scavenger*�
�Extremely high ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) rating, which support cells and their components from damage by oxygen radicals (free radicals), according to studies of animal and human blood*�
Competitive Benefits of MANGOSTEEN100:
�Unfortunately, many manufacturers and marketers of Mangosteen products add water, fruit juices, sweeteners, juice concentrates, chemical preservatives and other unwanted and unnecessary ingredients.
This is done to lower costs, improve flavor, and increase sweetness and to speed production runs. Genesis Today is proud to offer the world's first and only 100% pure, Mangosteen product.
This product is 100% pure, and made the traditional way, just like it was consumed over 1,000 years ago.
�Genesis Today's MANGOSTEEN100 is equal to three to nine bottles (depending upon the brand) of competitive products. We guarantee no brand on the market can match our "Naturally Occurring" Xanthone content ounce for ounce. (As of June 21, 2006).
�MANGOSTEEN100 is made with only 100% wild grown and wild harvested Garcinia Mangostana (Garcina mangostana L.)

Northern -- did you try it? If so, what did you experience? Interesting to read they say no added other juices in their proprietary blend? Also, have you tried other brands for comparison? Thx -- Robin

Sometimes when you break down the cost of using something daily you can find it of benefit but expensive up front. Well worth the daily cost if you eliminate some of your symptoms.
Lymetoo, how much are you taking daily of Xango? Did you start with the recommended dosage?
Thanks, Pam

My sister tried xango and her hands broke out in blisters so she stopped. I think it was a detox issue especially since her genetic testing came back showing a problem with detoxing biotoxins.
All my siblings and mother are sick so I'm very interested in xango as a way to get them started on something that will help. My brother is a brittle diabetic. For some reason, xango drops his blood sugars way too low and he feels horrible from that. Even happens during the night and he has to get up and eat something. This could be dangerous for a diabetic.
We've dropped his dose of xango and insulin but that has not helped and more than anything he feels that his blood sugars are not stable.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
P.S. Some improvements: better sleep, no vomiting since he's been taking it (he used to vomit all the time), reflux is better, cough is better, less depressed, 3 month blood sugar measurement test run by doc office was much better, so much so that they wanted to know what he is doing to cause this improvement. He has more energy and is able to make it through a grocery shopping trip more often now.

The only experience I've had with a diabetic taking Xango is a friend of mine who took it for her "Fibromyalgia" noticed her diabetic husband was taking it.
His hands were broken out from the diabetes (I know nothing about diabetes so didn't realize it did that) and after taking Xango, they cleared up. She was tickled and shocked to see him taking his Xango regularly. I think he was taking 2 oz. twice a day.
As soon as his hands cleared up, he stopped taking it. Go figure.
But he never had any issues with blood sugar while taking it. It seemed to help him.

Robin, I have started Mangosteen 100 only yesterday and thus nothing profound to report. However, the product does seem genuine as it has a slightly bitter taste and thus seems to have little sugar relative to some of the Mangosteen products diluted with fruit juices (e.g., MangoSteen Juice Blend: 2 grams sugar in 30 ml or 1 ounce). The latter is the only other mangosteen product tried to date.

I better drink my Xango! Hope you're doing ok! I know for a fact everyone that the Xango has helped LymeTuTu heal dramatically from multiple symptoms, her energy has returned, she looks 10 years younger, and her smile is back. It's amazing and wonderful to see. I can barely remember what it's like to "really" feel happy but I know she is and what a blessing. May we all get well.
