Hi Carol_wil: Have you thought of trying alternative, drug free means to help with pain? XanGo mangosteen juice is working so well for me that I now distribute it. See my web site at
www.mymangosteen.com/ejoyce. You can go to
www.mangosteenstories.org and do a search for any health issue and see what people are saying about the juice. The juice helps maintain a healthy seasonal respiratory system, helps maintain a healthy immune system, neutralizes free radicals in the body, maintains a health intestinal system and promotes healthy cartilage and joint functions. It's an anti-inflamatory (as we know inflamation in the body is what leads to all kinds of pain and illness). You can also visit
www.pubmed.gov and do a search for xanthones (the chemical compound found in the mangoteen fruit) and see how much research has been done on this little fruit that has been used for hundreds of years in folk medicine in SE Asia. Just about one year ago, my boss recommended it to me after he saw me struggling with all kinds of health issues. Today I am grateful to him for telling me about it. It tastes great and is safe for eveyone including babies. With all the side effects that one can get from prescribed drugs, I think XanGo mangosteen juice is worth a try.
To your health,
Eva (my contact information is listed on my web site).
