Hi John, - Do you know what the difference is between Mangosteen (Xango) and the EDN? Are they very similar products and target the body differently? I think you are going to say No. So what’s the difference?

I have a friend who just started selling Xango and I was telling her about the Waiora products and EDN. She wants me to sign up of course and maybe take both EDN and Xango, but I didn’t know enough about either to make a case. Any idea? Of course, I’m working to sign her up too.

Also, I looked under a website she mentioned called www.pubmed.com and did some research on zeolites. It was all pretty technical, but there were several articles on there.

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!!!

Q. John, you've been tremendously helpful to me. My acid reflux is gone and my energy has gone up. It's amazing what a change in diet and a few of the right supplements can do.

However, I still have a problem with painful joints, especially my knees - I guess you'd call it arthritis, or maybe just old age. Can you offer any advice?
