VIBE And/or Xango

Hi R., My name is D. I have 2 Children boys 3 & 6. I am not familiar with VIBE, but I am familiar with Xango, The way I see it is it can't hurt to try it. Xango has been known to help many people. It's a great maintenance drink for me at the moment, but it helped me with my migrains, helps me focus, lose weight. A women I know had major back surgery and was in pain for ever, she takes xango daily and she can garden again, she owns a horse farm, and you can imagine the things she needs to do, the xango helped her be able to continue to do the things she used to do. I am not saying it is a guarantee, but I will say it is worth a shot. It doesn't work overnight, but you should starts seeing a difference in 2 weeks. It isn't going to cure you, it is just going to help maintain the pain. You may still need to take ibuprofin from time to time, as I said it isn't a cure all, but try it for a month or two and make your own decision about it. It is healthy and works for many other things as well. If you are familiar with VIBE, I would say the same thing, pick one and try it, it can't hurt you, it's like takeing a vitamin. Good Luck I hope you find something that works for you. I can't imagine what you must go through on a day to day basis.

Please, Please, Please go to a naturopathic physician. I had lots of problems and was ending up in the ER 2 to 3 times a week. I was to go home and enjoy my kids because I would be dead soon the last time I saw a conventional doctor. This Doctor saved my life. I am happy healthy and TOTALLY symptom free.

Hi R.,
I have not had these problems per se, but some other issues. I have done a lot of research on diet - I believe doctors are not that knowledgeable on how important diet is for your health - they only seem to know drugs. Any advice they've given me on diet was so little - I knew way more than they did. Anyways - have you ever looked at a vegetarian lifestyle? It's made dramatic improvements in my health - I lost 20 pounds, my blood pressure normalized and I dropped 109 points of cholesterol. I've tried all kinds of supplements and I really don't think you are going to find a cure all from one supplement. I would really research your diet - some good books - The China Study; Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Esselstyn, MD from Cleveland Clinic; Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman. I've been to 3 different naturopaths and they all gave me different supplements and none of that worked until I totally changed my lifestyle. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear but I hope it at least helps you to maybe look at other possibilities. Good luck!!!

I am not familiar with either. I am 35 and was diagnosed with Autoimmune Enteropathy 6 years ago (Chron's, Celiac Sprue, IBS, Colotis) and Fibromyalgia. I have since developed some other problems; however, I treat with a gastroenterologist in Oakland and a Rhumetologist in Oakland as well. I am on Celebrex for the pain which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. As with any medications, there can be side effects, so far none for me. I tried all over the counter pain relievers and have had no relief. If I were you I would see a specialist and see what they recommend. Best of luck to you, I know how bad and miserable you feel.

I was a Xango distributor for a couple years, and my son was very much into the sales. We have dropped out for several reasons. You can now get Mangosteen Juice in health food stores without paying the exhorbitant price for Xango. It's not a cure, it's a fruit juice that has some great qualities. I know people who have had great results with allergy, blood-sugar, and stomach conditions, but have never heard any tests on pain management. Within the year, I was diagnosed with a very painful and debilitating herniated disc. I would recommend seeing a pain management specialist in your area, who might recommend DTS Therapy by a chiropractor. It's working very well for me, is probably more expensive than surgery, but I prefer not to go there. Best wishes to you!

Hi R.,

I am not familiar with VIBE, but am familiar with Xango. It is a great product that has much to offer healthwise. It does not hurt to try since your IBS may be affecting your back. There are many nerves in the low back which affect the control of the bowels and urine output. When they are pinched or irritated, these functions are affected. You need a doctor that is willing to work with you. If your current doctor is not willing, then you may need an internal medicine specialist to coordinate your care. Controlling chronic pain effectively requires a team effort of you, your doctor, a physical therapist who helps you put together an effective exercise program so you keep your function, a pain management doctor, and a dietian. It is not simple, but persistance can go a long way to improving your quality of life. In doing so, you will be a better wife and mom because you feel better. If you need more advice on how to do this, I am willing to share privately.

The absolute best thing you could treat yourself to is read the book "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About". You might want to look into checking what your body's pH is. If your body is a healthy alkaline, disease cannot grow. If you are acidic, which most of us are, you are bound to have medical conditions, and aches and pains. I take a product called Coral Calcium to keep my pH in check. Used to be sold via infomercial, now I get at Walmart. You can buy tongue pH test strips at any pharmacy.....the book at Waldens or Borders.....and OMG you are in for a treat reading that book!! What an eyeopener about the toxins that affect us, and the conspiracy of the government regarding food and Rx drugs! Their killing us...and worst part is - they know it!

Hey R.,I feel for you,it is no fun being in chronic pain.Are your friends doing these juices as a business or have they tried it themselves? Have you checked out the prices for yourself? I did a quick google search and they are both around $50 for a bottle.Your doctor will not likely recommend something healthy for you to try (they are paid by drug companies to promote their drugs,although they likely won't admit it).I am sure they are safe and healthy,but definitely not inexpensive.I have been a Melaleuca customer for 4 years and the vitamins have definitely improved our health.I do not suffer with the same things you do,although I know people who do and they have experienced relief.Melaleuca is having a promotion until March 20,where the membership is only $1.If you want more information,be sure to contact me.Regardless of what way you go,I hope it works for you,being in pain is not a great way to live.

Hi R.,

I was recently introduced to a new nutritional beverage called MonaVie, it is a blend of 19 fruits with the acai berry being the crown jewel. MonaVie is wild organic and full of phtonutrients and antioxidants and tastes great. It is helping people with arthritis, carpel tunnel and just about everything else - you are giving your body what it needs to heal itself. MonaVie has only been on the market for 3 years and it is already a billion $ company because of the amazing results people are having with it. It helped my husband with his lower back pain and we became distributors of MonaVie to purchase it at wholesale prices. We both drink it everyday and give it to our two children (ages 4 & 6). Take a minute to check out my website www.mymonavie.com/jimbarbtarzy. Since we've had great results with the product we have looked into the business opportunity and shared it with our friends and family and now we earn money so therefore we "drink for free". Contact me if you are interested in trying a bottle, and getting more information. I live in south jersey.

I think you should change doctors! My friend was just diagnosed with Rhueumatoid arthritis and her doctor told her it was pretty much just all in her head with her first bout of it (after her 1st child) she thought she was crazy and the pain did subside. After her 2nd child the pain was everywhere and she insisted on more blood work. it came back positive, she was devistated. He gave her the choice of placinael or motrin! In ending, she switched doctors she does not feel so crazy. Sorry if I am rambling on, but maybe your doctor is prescribing over the counter medications because you tell him your husband doesn't want you taking anything unhealthy, or risk of being unsafe and not expensive. I believe all medications have a risk even over the counter medications have risks if you take them for too long. UGH, good luck... Sorry about my spelling.

YOGA, YOGA, YOGA!!! I suffer from arthiritis, my mom would be crippled from it if we didn't do yoga. We both believe its the cure all. It keeps the joints all lubed up and working without pain or discomfort. And I can play with my kids and not feel any pain!!! Drink lots of water, do yoga, eat a clean diet and you'll see changes. Patient heal thy self. I know people who take both and like them both. I am not a juice fan personally.

I don't know anything about either one, but I would recommend a chiropractor. I have suffered from chronic headaches, wrist pain (I am sure it would have been diagnosed as carpal tunnel, but I would not see the dr for it), back pain, numbness, fatigue. I feel amazingly better after going to my chiropractor. My children also. We don't get sick either.
I would not recommend taking large amounts of over the counter pain meds either. Over time they kill your liver. Many people on the liver transplant list are either a direct or indirect result of years of otc pain meds.

I don't know what Vibe or Xango are, but I would recommend Bikram Yoga classes with a qualified instructor. It works wonders for all sorts of ailments. I know it sounds weird, but it works for me. I have a hand problem that is similar to arthritis & it helps. It also cured me of my post csection constipation. I know that doesn't compare to IBS, but it should still work, it just might take you longer to notice improvement. Once you take a couple classes & know what you are doing you can buy his book & do it yourself at home. That's what I do now.

R., I am a nurse and a big fan of VIBE. My brother introduced it to me and I have learned about lots of people in your situation and similar situations that have tried and absolutely loved the results of VIBE. I personally wouldn't live without it. (I have diabetes and chronic constipation & it has helped me tremendously) I LOVE it. It is by far the best nutritional supplement on the market hands down. I would be happy to speak with you personally about it and I can even get you in touch with some other people on it with your same problems. VIBE is totally safe (I had it checked by my doctors and OBGYN), healthy for you, and worth every penny. I costs about $50/month. Most people spend more than that on coffee every month. You can reach me via email if you are interested in talking. C.
