Im allergic to many types of food. Will mangosteen fruit be safe for me?
The mangosteen is a fruit and such some people will have allergic reactions to it. Ive received reports from some users who have complained about allergic reactions to the fruit, but none of the reactions have been life threatening. The most common form of allergic reaction to the mangosteen is a skin rash involving redness and swelling. Occasionally, mild headache and joint pain can also be experienced. Loose stools or constipation may also be the result of an allergic response. However, as my chiropractic and naturopathic colleagues are quick to point out, many of the manifestations (which could be allergic) may be due to a healing crisis or detoxification reaction. Both of these phenomena involve a temporary increase in the severity of symptoms for which the patient is taking mangosteen or the manifestation of the allergy symptoms noted above. Initially, reducing the dosage (sometimes to as little as 5ml or one teaspoon) and gradually increasing it over a period of weeks will result
