One of the compounds in mangosteen inhibits the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, in a way that kudzu does.  There was some discussion here a while ago, not sure that any conclusion was reached.  Here's a link on my take:

Hi michelle. A few Xango juice sellers have come here trying to tell us it's a cure, LOL. There may be some helpful components, though. Look here:

I have 1/3 of a bottle left in me refrigerator.  A friend gave me it to see if it helped my headaches.  It didn't, but I do know a Medical Health Professional (PA) who swears by the stuff for a lot of things and suggested I try it for CH.
 
Anyway, neither of them were interested in selling it to me and I did try it, but it didn't help me at all.

Tried Xango juice several years ago for CH had no luck at all for that though was promised it was the cure of cures but the wife and mother-in-law thought it was a great energy boost for them. Little expensive then, not sure if the price has droped but I think I had to pay something like $75.00 (US) for 4 1 litre bottles. May work for you though. I'm actually having a lot of success right now with Red Bull if I drink it right when I feel the attack coming on. Hope this helps.

Yes, a few have logged in just to mention briefly the success of using it with day to day posting on their CH, like yourself but they seem to move on and we can only assume it is because the Xango has kept them completely free of CH now.  We are hard pressed to figure the reason it is only given such reviews by these very few and not consistently a repeat reminder to us of their CH treatment they've discovered, it's hard to imagine so many here have simply "forgotten" about this infrequently reported CH treatment option.    
 
 
Quote:
and have tried soooo many things up until now.  

 
Can you tell us what has simply not worked for your CH and what made you try Xango, is there literature about it in conjunction with CH or did you hear from another former suffering friend?  
  There is also a tahitian Noni juice which is similar it seems.  Is there an advantage to Xango that should be of notable awareness to the convinced if anyone should decide to venture this choice upon your reminder?
 
 
Quote:
Sorry it didn't work for a couple of you.

 
If it was just only a couple here, are you aware of others it has worked for, they don't seem to have posted to this thread, of the many thousands registered, and we may be neglectively deprived of success stories with it, follow-ups are not ever posted, even though it has been known by us for a couple years now, as you mentioned.  There seems to be little reported about it after the first post of introduction and convincing implications for a short while.  What do you think is the problem with the aversion by so many here when this pain is so devastating and yet those bringing it up seem to do so accompanied frequently with reported day-to-day successes with it.?
 
 
 
Quote:

If you could be clearer, are we to assume it has abated any hits coming through for you with the first-day use so far?  Good hopes for your second day too, although I really am at a loss as to what to expect from your second day's posting.  Hoping it is a success!
 
Just a reminder though, this is a CH "help" section you've posted to about this.

What they are trying to say is they are unsure of your true motives. We get a lot of snake oil salesmen who come here promising relief to us, many like your husband, who have suffered for many years and are willing to try damned near anything.
 
I think what raised their hackles is your first post sounded like many of the distributors who have come here looking to make a quick buck.  If you are truly the supporter of a CH husband, don't get turned off by some of the skeptics on the board. We look out for each other and will tar and feather, then drive out people looking to take advantage of our friends.
 
If you're a true CH supporter and are looking for help, advice and information you have come to the right place and should definitely stick around. People here will give you the shirt off their back to help anyone with CH. Let us know how the mongosteen trial works for your hubby. I hope it does provide some level of relief.
 
If you are a distributor, looking for a quick buck, please just go away.

So, technical and my post so broken down into little pieces.
 
I'm not a scientist, just a wife who has been there every step of the way with her husband who has been diagnosed with and has suffered with Chronic Cluster headaches for the last 18 years.  The longest holiday (and the only one pretty much) has been for 9 days - and that is something that we would love to reproduce but can't.  As far as treatment goes, we've tried everything mentioned on this website except for just a few things like lithium injections, surgeries and that kind of thing.
 
As far as Xango, I read about the Mangosteen fruit a couple of years ago and the information peaked my curiousity.  We put it on hold only cuz we were in the middle of some "other" treatment.  There's not a day, week, or month that we're not trying something new to at least slow down the number or severity of attacks.
 
When found out that a friend of ours in Mexico (Homeopathic Doctor) became a distributor of Xango juice, I asked him more about it.  He began to tell me how his father, who had emphysema and diabetes, wasn't doing very well.  Then, he started to visit with his Dad in a farewell capacity.  After taking the Xango juice, the diabetes became manageable and the breathing problems cleared up (this got me going because my Dad has emphysema as well).  He claims that the Xango juice will help the headaches too and that we need to try the juice.  
 
From what I understand, the fruit is found in Southeast Asia and it's all about the Xanthones as mentioned in earlier posts.  The link that a couple of you mentioned about "Xanthones" is excellent and anyone that wants to know more can go to that link as well.
 
I signed up as a distributor only to get the discount on the cases.  My intention is not to sell the product to anyone, but to find out more about what they can do for all of us.  Anyone can go on line to www.xango.net to find out the finer details about the juice.
 
We both have been drinking a 1 ounce shot in the morning and one before bedtime - with food in the stomach.  It's too early to tell yet, but my husbands head has felt clearer in the morning.  The night is still bad.  It's only been about 3 days though.
 
Yes, the juice is pricy.  A bottle costs about $37.50 but if you become a distributor you can get it for $25.00 a bottle.  Each bottle contains a little over 25 ounces.  We bought a case to get us going for at least a month to give it a good shot.  The product gets to you in real time.  I think in only took a few days before it was delivered.
 
That's the basics for now.  I'll be happy to help in any way that I can.

Sorry you and Larry weren't happy with my service Michelle.
We had 5 emails between jan1st 2006 (1st contact) and feb 8th.
Between that time, we spoke on the phone.
On the 6th, you still had not ordered seeds and had questions.
On the 8th, you had questions about detoxing.
I then left to make a presentation at the National Headache Foundation in California.
When I left, on the 13th, Larry was still on Ultram and Imitrex.
You called and left a message for me (I believe on the 15th) when I was in California (I had told you I was going to be out of town) and I called back after the conference, to answer more questions.
That was the last I heard from you.
 
I think I was the one left hanging, but, again, sorry I couldn't be more help.

I see 4 ozs a day in use, times thirty days is 120 ozs.  That's five bottles to give it a "go" for a month at $37.50 times 5 is $187.50.  Now how would one cover that cost of personal use? (you drinking it also but without as a CH treatment)
  Instead you by a whole case, to give it a try for a month.  A distributor would need to sell 30 a month to maintain that status.  In what way did you mean the words emboldened above?

Michelle,
 
I don't mean to bust your chops, but please re-read Guiseppi's post.
 
We protect and look out for each other here, and if you've been reading the site for 2 years you would know this.  
 
We don't take kindly to people attacking our friends, specially someone who has done so much for so many as Bob has. Specially over that fatefull time when he wasn't able to return your call.
 
 
He states he told you he would be out of town, and you blast him with  
 
"..You weren't there for us.."  
 
BS!!!
 
We've all been in bad spots.  But we also know that people have their own lives to lead as well.
 
You sound like like a spoiled child who didn't get 100% of Bob's time and attention.  
 
I think it is you who needs to get a life.
