Has anyone tried Xango?Airborne?? | Arthritis Information

Hi, I don't post here often but I do lurk quite a bit and I am glad to have found this site again. I was wondering if anyone has heard of Xango? It is a drink made from the juice of some tropical fruit??? or something like that and many people use it for arthritis purposes. I also know people who swear by it for migraines and headaches and overall energy. Right now I am taking the 50mg enbrel shot and would never give that up but I just wondered if anyone on these boards has heard of or tried Xango? I think it is kind of expensive (- a bottle).....

There is also a product out there called Airborne that is suppose to ward off colds or the flu when they first start. I haven't tried this either, I am kind of paranoid about taking other things when I am taking enbrel, but I did end up with pneumonia this year and have not taken an enbrel shot in 7 weeks and I am starting to feel it.

Thanks,

Lisa

I don't know anything about the products you mentioned but, have you had the pneumonia vaccine? If not, ask your doctor about getting it. Its a killed virus vaccine so people who take immune compromising drugs can get it. It lasts for 7-10 years, depending upon who you talk to.

I get a pnuemonia shot every five years. I did get phuemonia once, my dr said that the vaccine only works on the viral type, not the one that you get from bad colds and/or bronchitis. I didn't know that there was 2 types. Now when I get a cold, I start antibiotics right away, and it doesn't become phuemonia (so far).
