I take 2 1/2 to 3 oz twice a day. I can miss one dosage and do OK, but I haven't missed two doses in a row in nearly 3 yrs!
I feel wonderful 99% of the time. I'm not saying it cured my lyme, but let's just say I no longer have any syptoms as long as I drink the juice. Pretty easy to do!
Take my juice and you'll have a bear on your hands!
oh...in answer to your question, don... I do believe it's VERY important to drink it at least twice a day and every day to get the results you desire.
I think a good guideline to decide "how much" is your own body, but a good rule of thumb is about 1 oz per 50lbs of body weight.
For those who are ill, it may take slightly more, or slightly less depending upon the response of your own body.

Lyme Ed: I can only speak for myself. I buy the Ultra online -- I googled for cheapest price.
I think it's good for Lyme, since Lyme is an inflammatory condition and the juice is anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant.
I cannot speak for its efficacy re candida, as there is some sugar in the product. I do have candida, and I haven't experienced being bothered by the product as in it increasing sugar cravings at all..
I don't have an LLMD to advise me one way or the other. The one Lyme-literate office I did mention it to learned from me, rather than the other way around.
Don: re how much to drink. I spoke with an MD doctor who was involved with Xango. He said it also depends on how ill you are. If someone has cancer, he wants them to drink more. I think he said he put cancer patients on one bottle/day for a month, then 1/2 bottle for the next month.
For me, since I have Lyme disease plus lipomas, he suggested I drink 1/2 bottle a day for one month, then I could do less after that. So that's what I did.
Now I drink about 5 oz/day. I also can go by how much I need to drink for symptom alleviation, like for my eyesight symptoms, or conversely, how little I need to drink, if it starts to give me the runs. My weight is around 180 lbs.
Mangosteen juice works for some and doesn't for others. So I've been told by lots of people I've recommended the juice to, even if they didn't have Lyme.
Parisa: yes, I continue to get results. I tested not drinking the juice, and I found my eye muscles started to develop pain within a few days. Drinking the juice causes eye muscle pain, blurry focus and sensitivity to light to go away for me. Also, since Ultra has 70 minerals added to it, my nails have gone very hard.
Radha: I never did capsules so can't speak to that question. I would think the juice would have faster absorption.

Exactly.
I would consider it a sin NOT to tell people about mangosteen.
Thats why I mentioned melatonin it is a very powerful antioxident that does to bind again and agin with the wrong things vitamin c can.
"melatonin does not undergo redox cycling, the ability of a molecule to undergo reduction and oxidation repeatedly. Redox cycling may allow other antioxidants (such as vitamin C) to act as pro-oxidants, counterintuitively promoting free radical formation.
Melatonin, once oxidized, cannot be reduced to its former state because it forms several stable end-products upon reacting with free radicals.
Therefore, it has been referred to as a terminal (or suicidal) antioxidant. Once its done its job it locks up the door and gets sent out of the body.

I don't normally chime in on the Xango discussions because I am a distributor. I don't sell it to earn my living. Just do it for myself and those who ask me to get it for them. Although, it has helped to pay for my personal stash.
Anyway, I was soooo skeptical at first. For me, I have found that I get a second wind in the late afternoon after I have my 2 oz. of Xango. It gets me over the hump of an otherwise long day.
When I discovered that my bottle was disappearing rather quickly in the fridge, I realized that my family was "stealing" an ounce here and there of my liquid gold. They are all hooked now. Why? Because it tastes pretty darn good & they all swear it helps with energy and stamina. These are not people with serious health issues.
I can't say for sure what else it has done for me, except maybe helped with headaches and digestion. But, I can say that I feel funky when I run out for a few days. My sibs say the same thing.
I wonder if there is a 12 step program for Xango addicts.

I've never heard anyone with results from the pills. The whole fruit puree contains all of the xanthones, catechins, polysaccarides, polyphenols, and very importantly .. all the enzymes which your body needs in order to assimilate the juice.
Thanks, nan. I'll report the non-compliant site.
I prefer FREE to cheap, as most people would.

It is much cheaper on this site. (at least for those that just one bottle to try out)
My brother sells this stuff and my ex buys it continually from him, in signing up he had to have auto shipping of a case a month - I beleive now it's 2 cases a month - which can average close to 200.00.
I don't discredit the product - I'm just not sure about the sugar in it, even tho it's natural sugar - it still can effect the yeast if one has it.
I know I tryed it and in 3 to 4 days I was so congested it wasn't funny. HOWEVER some say in here that that will go away with time - but when you can't breath from congestion due to yeast - sugar related I have to question if this is right for me.
I truely would love to give it a shot once again but am scared that it will make my yeast worse.
Not many things on the market without sugar, it's tuff at times.

Yes you were the one months ago who pointed the congestion problem to me and your thoughts on it.
It's not so much the sinus with me - it's more chest congestion along with sinus.
I really do which to give it a try once again, but need to be cautious about the breathing - which for me is always a HUGE red flag that it is not working well with the yeast in my body.
My girlfriend started "RED" is has little sugar in it as well and like xango the sugar is natural - she too got congested and had to stop. That was 46.00 a bottle I beleive.

I finally found a store that sells it, it's kind of a health food store. They charge 75 for two bottles.
It's really close but, man, 75 bucks for 2 bottles. I guess that's about average tho, huh?

I don't believe they are allowed to sell it at a health food store so somebody is selling it improperly.
Also, the only reason you give out your social security is when you have people signed up under you (which happened to me when people saw a difference), Xango sends you a check.
I guess I just don't understand why people get upset when we start talking about how good Xango is? Its not hype when it works.
I've financially helped more people with it when they can't afford it and don't want to sell it because I know how much it will help them.
I tell people the same thing about the steam tent with oxygen/ozone. My husband made a spread sheet so if anybody wanted to set one up, they could. I'm not making any money from that.
I also tell them about the KMT24 and when I was using my Rife machine I talked about it.
I think everybody likes to share what is working for them.

Thanks all for the replies of amount taken in comparison of size etc. I am sure there is a cororlation(sp) of this.
Thanks for all the expert contribution to this also. I DO think this has the 'largest' positive response from users I have heard of in YEARS and years of reading here,,,including abx. Everybody reacts differently as with anything.
I surely THINK this is worth a shot for most all of us. I have money concerns,,,just like all of us. But I have wasted a ton of money on much worse stuff than this.
I havent sold any of this stuff to date,,,but think I "MAY" try to in the future. So I dont have a dog in this fight,BUT maybe next week!!
IF I can get a good reaction from it,,,which I havent been able to even on ANY abx,,,then I guess its sorta a no brainer. I am gonna try an increased amount like said previously and TRY to see if that is indeed a reason I didnt feel results the first time. Back then I really didnt have the time to do this(was hit and miss consisitantly),,,now I do,,,makes a difference,,,I HOPE!!!
I took a different diet suplement for 6-9 months and spent tons more than this stuff,,,and didnt feel any batter,,,actually worse,,the pepper in it caused my arthritis to flare. Not naming names,,,I still think that product is probably good for some folk,,,just NOT me. BUT I gave it a good shot, and now I know!!
I hope I have explained MY feelings on this. And I would suggest trying it,,, to all loved ones also!! I just hear consistant GOOD results from THIS product.remaining--just don--

Don't want to cause any problems bugt are there any lymies out there who ship to other lymies?
I can't order online because of identity theft problems so I don't give out any ID information but I could send check and all to another lymie, if that would be agreeable.
Sure seems to be a great difference in what people are charging.

From what I've read the capsules have the whole fruit, not just the fruit puree.
Has anyone here tried the capsules?

I did not notice much with the pill form, however I didn't push it either so I can't say for sure.
The pill form is much cheaper of course - I found it in my local health store, if I remember correctly it was reasonably priced for some to be able to at least try it if you'd like.
The pill form has no sugar.

I am trying Mangosteen capsules. I had some sort of reaction, but I couldn't tell if it was good or bad.
Lymetoo, can you PM me about the Xango? I've seen it on the net, but it's kind of pricey. I was wondering if it is possible totry a sample first to see if agrees with me before investing such a large amount of $$$.

Your post implies that the lipomas were caused by Lyme. Is that true? If so, I never realized that Lyme causes these things.
I have a huge lipoma on my shoulder that I'm getting removed in 2 weeks. Should I try Mangosteen juice instead? I much rather drink some juice than go through the pain and expense of surgery.

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.

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.

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?

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.)

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.
