I started taking Xango Mangosteen juice. I took about 3 TBS. and about five hours later I started a major herx. It was the same symptoms as when I herx on mepron or diflucan. It was so strong I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. I had air hunger, anxiety attack, tingling in my arms, and lots of GI grumblings. Anyone else get a herx like this?

Hi -- I'm sure lymetoo will come on here soon! For now, my sense is that the Xango is the strongest version of the mangosteen juices. I actually am still getting a headache from the smallest little amount of it. I guess that's the herx? Maybe some of us need a less strong version for awhile? The Ultra version still works for me.
It is my humble opinion that anything we try should be as a small dose so as to avoid the big herx experience.
And also, you need to drink a lot of water with it.

When I started drinking Xango, I also had headaches from it.
I believe this is a "detoxing" symptom.
Mine went away in 3 days.

A Lyme naturopath was the one who recommended Xango to me. She knew I was very sensitive to all kinds of supplements and meds.
She had me start with literally a drop of Xango and I got a headache from that! A detox reaction, I believe.
I built up very slowly, over time, until I could finally take a shot-glass full, but that was after a very long time.
I honestly don't know if it was a Lyme/coinfection or yeast die-off or what, but definitely something died!

This is interesting because I have been reading Bryan Rosner's new book the top 10 lyme treatments and he talks about xango as one of the best supplements http://www.lymebook.com/top10book . I wasn't sure if I would try it yet, but if it makes you herx that much, I reckon I'll give it a go!

For some strange reason, it had the opposite affect on me. I bought a bottle of Xango from a friend and the next day I was outside doing yard work.
My husband came home from a trip and was shocked to see me with a little bit of energy.
I never experienced the headache. At six months, I got rid of my sleep meds which has been the biggest thing it has done for me.
