Xango

Has anyone tried this juice supplement? I listened to this lady and she said it was wonderful for EVERYTHING. She said the Mayo Clinic was researching this product for a number of illnesses. She made it sound like a miracle drug. Expensive! Sometimes I get tired of people telling me that their product is a cure. Anyone with info. let me know. And does anyone with fibro have any vision problems? Like trouble seeing (Like looking thru a screen?)

Xango is nothing more than a $38 bottle of juice. It is not wonderful for "everything." It is simply a high priced juice with absolutely no scientifically proven cure for any illness. It is a scam.

Vision problems with Fibromyalgia ars not uncommon. Double and blurry vision are common complaints. You should see an ophthalmologist about any vision issues to determine exactly what is going on. Take care.

Ask her to show you the research. Not some article about the research - the actual research. She can't because it's not true. The first time I saw the stuff they were claiming it cured cancer. It's a scam.

It's a pyramid scheme thing. However I do have a friend who swears by it and has used it for the last 9 years. For her it boosts her immune system, less colds a bit more energy. She ended up find out she had celiac/gluten allergy, changed her diet and that is what actually "cured" her and made her feel better. The juice is expensive, it's basically pomegranate juice, but includes part of the shell not just the juice. You could probably get same results by taking a multivitamin ;)

Oh, Magic Fruit Juice! Hey, my SIL was hawking a version of that! (Under a different name, of course...)

Snake oil.

Thank You!!! One is always hopeful that there is something that works out there. I appreciate the advice.

You might find this interesting - it's a letter the FDA sent to them years ago - and nothing's changed.

As recently as 2011, the Mayo Clinic was saying "We're not seeing any proof" of anything beneficial from the juice.

Used to be Noni juice that people were trying to sell me, then it was Green Tea or something that Dr. OZ raved about. Well, he was pulled before congress on that one.

There is no cure, no expensive supplement or juice that can help and because of that cons will try to sell us "The Cure" and lighten our wallets.

I know we feel desperate at times but don't fall for these scams, there are plenty to chose from.

    Fun facts to up your day:The Big Bang wasn't IN space... it was OF space. How does that happen? Well, now you know why I'm NOT a physicist. Cuz I dunno. It just happened. Thena gain a new hypothesis is that our "black energy/matter" is actually waste dumped in our universe from somewhere else's black holes. How and all that? Don't ask. You start getting all "The Matrix" and muttering...
