Introducing Holly Johnson: A Young Mom with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Anna,

I am sorry to hear that the gin soaked raisins didn't work for you and made you restless.  It is very discouraging when trying something new, but don't see any results.  Please do let us know what your rheumatologist has to say about this rememdy and if he gives you a few pointers on the best way to take them.  I hope your ankle pain won't keep up for very much longer!  It's amazing how pain in your ankles can effect almost every movement you make, isn't it?  The mixture of ice, sleet, snow, and freezing weather down here in Oklahoma has kept me in constant pain this week as well, but I am trying to stay positive until the weather gets a little warmer.  I will keep looking for some natural rememdies and if I find anything I will post them, as I would like to try more of the natural approach as well.  Good luck and best wishes, I look forward to hearing from you soon

A friend of mine e-mailed me this this week. Take a look and try it. I don't personnaly know if it works. 

Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

I am very sorry to hear that your father-in-law had poor results with mangosteen supplements. Which supplement did he try? 

The thing is, in order to receive the full benefits of the mangosteen fruit the entire fruit must be eaten, including the outer pericarp.  

Xango is one of the only supplements out there that uses the entire fruit to make its juice. The xanthones found in Xango are powerful antioxidants and they have been shown in several scientific papers to inhibit some of the same enzymes as aspirin. Those two things combined add up to pain relief. But, just like aspirin, there is a chance not all people will respond the same way.  

The great thing about Xango is that there is a full money back guarantee.  If you are unsatisfied after trying the product for a whole month, you can send back all four empty bottles for a FULL refund.  

I have seen it work for several people. I think that is worth a try no matter what.   

Yeah,  I didnt refer him to it, he found it on his own in his search for pain relief.  He didnt have poor results he had no results.  I sent an email to my mother in law to find out and to answer your question.  I didnt want to get it wrong.  I am going to copy and paste her email to me:

http://www.mangosteen.com/ This is the juice we tried. It has a very strong antioxidant, but we did not see any changes over the month that Paul drank the juice everyday. Send me the information on what you are taking. I'll get it for him to try. Thanks, m

wow, yeah I dont know enough about that product to know that you have to eat the whole thing including the cap to get a result...why would they sell a juice if its the whole thing you have to eat to get a result?

Yeah i guess like you said, there is a chance that not all people will respond the same way. 

I dont know if they got any money back. I will ask her, thats good to know though.

Seeing it work on several people is what is so motivating.  Just like this astaxanthin that I mentioned.  I have heard my mother in law with hip pain, father in law with joint pain, sister in law with recovery from intense workouts, dental assistant with tennis elbow, co workers with RA, my husband with carpel tunnel reap the benefits...OH and me with relief with severe allergies, so I can understand your excitement for your mangosteen product. 

We are all in this world together so all and every remedy is a blessing in my opinion.  I just saw how my father in law thought that this astaxanthin was the same thing as mangosteen and he didnt want to try it but he did and only after four days received a result.

Did you see the free ebook on that web site. It is super informative, you should check it out, its like 100 pages long. 

I am all for finding the right treatment for the right person.  

I am currently a medical student at UCLA so I am really just for making people better. So, if you find something that works, SHARE THAT NEWS!! I will check out the ebook for sure. 

And to clarify, the whole entire fruit: Pericarp, Seeds, and Pulp go into every bottle of XanGo.  That is how it provides all the benefits of the Xanthones.  

Here is a good video about Xango Juice itself:

Like Carol mentionned the MonaVie Active juice has helped my husband. He's been taking it since end of May 2007 and won't stop. The MonaVie Active juice has anti-inflammatory, antioxident and omegas, everything to help the joints.

Visit the monavie.com site and check it out. I am also a distributor, you must sign up in order to buy the product, just like at Costco. I don't want to take anything away from Carol, I just wanted to state the fact that the juice works.

I feel bad that all of you are suffering from this disease and that I know for a fact that MonaVie has a great part to do with my husband feeling hardly any pain. Just so you know, he was almost 3 months he could not work, he was in such pain until he tried MonaVie. It took about 3 weeks before he really say a difference. The disease took many years to do the damages so you must give it some time to heal also.

I wish you all a great recovery.

Hi Suzanne,

In a botle you have a bit over 25 oz., the reccomended dose is 2 to 4 oz per day. My husband started out with 8 oz/day to boost his intake (somewhere he read that a lady ws taking a bottle/day ) so he figured even if he took more it would not hurt. Remember, this is all natural fruits, the only knowne side effect is that you will have diarhea, because it is cleaning your system. If this occurs just bring your dozage down.

My friends that are using it usually take 4 oz/day so your bottle lasts you 6 to 7 days. We order a case/month each. Some may say it is expensive but what is your health worth.

Some people smoke, some drink at least 1 to 2 bottles of wine/week others must have their case of beer every week, while some go out to dinner every Saturday night. We choose to have our MonaVie juice every day.

I am a real person and I've seen what MonaVie has done for my husband, the truck driver that introduced me to this product has taken care of his prostate problems, before MonaVie he had to get up in the middle of the night at least 3 to 4 times, now he's doing his nights, I tease him about it. Some got ride of their allergy others didn't have to go trough a knee surgery and this lady can go trough her period without the cramps and the over flow.

As far as your bottle being under your desk in a warm area I could not tell you if it is still good. If the seal is broke and the bottle has been open then I know that it is not good, it must be refrigerated once it is open. It is just like fruits left on the counter, they will spoil.

I hope I was able to answer your questions Suzanne.
