I am disgusted by the media's relentlessness to try to bring down companies who are doing good things for people. I drink Monavie consistently and have for 9 months. My family, friends and I have experienced nothing but amazing positive effects. The business itself is like no other I have ever seen and should be applauded, not ridiculed. It actually makes me laugh at those of you who know nothing about the ins and outs of this company and what it is doing to save the rainforest, help the Brazilian people, and bring health to people's lives. Those of you "afraid" of a successful MLM company with the right product can continue on with your ignorant comments and negative outlook on life itself. If Monavie is bringing helth and wealth to people who enjoy it, what's it to you? In the meantime, those of us who are enjoying the health benefits of the juice and the compensation plan will continue to do so and wave as we drive by in our Black FREE Mercedes. To your health!!!!

Is this what the distributors mean when they say do your homework and get the facts?

I read this twice and still was not sure how to take it.....does it support or disclaim the benefits of the juice.

The job of critics is to criticize.

I am sure there are people out there telling people what they want to hear and maybe stretching the truth.

One thing that you can not dispel is the fact that Universities (such as William and Mary, University of Florida) have done research on the benefits of the juice and it has been show to lower cholesterol and destroy leukemia cancer cells.

Numerous other independent agencies have done studies and tests which show/prove the benefits of antioxidants in fighting the aging process.

Consider this....I drink Mona Vie. I am getting at least 7 servings of fruit into my body per day. I feel good and I know I look good!

DIET & BEHAVIOR "EXPERT" FAKES HIS CREDENTIALS

A Canadian newspaper, reveals that Alex-ander G. Schauss has misrepresented his background and achievements in his curriculum vitae. The investigative report itemizes eight specific examples where Schauss lied. Schauss is president and sole registered agent of the American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma, WA. He has been traveling around the U.S. and Canada for many years expounding his unfounded theories about diet and antisocial (criminal & delinquent) behavior. Schauss' lectures before teachers in British Columbia at which he received lecture fees of as much as $1,000, prompted the probe. Schauss apparently is a good salesman for his ideas, but also embellishes them with the illusion that they are supported by his sound academic background and research. Many teachers, mental health workers and probation officers have been confused by Shauss' notions. Schauss is defended by the Canadian Schizophrenic Foundation whose director, Steven Carter is also editor of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine--a megavitamin advocacy group. Schauss lists himself as a "Ph.D. candidate" and encourages the accolade of "Dr." to be used in reference to himself. In fact, he has been registered since 1981 at unaccredited California Coast University in Santa Ana. (The Vancouver Sun, 9/13/88). COMMENT: NCAHF has been aware of the pseudoscientific nature of Schauss' work for years. His pretentions regarding diet and criminal behavior led to a lenghty investigation by a special task force and the publication of a position paper on the topic. This article is well written and of high interest to anyone interested in these issues. Available from NCAHF for $1 and a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

All of the "hype" of the product and record "growth" of the company can be logically explained. All that Mr. Larsen did was lure existing Amway networks away with a more lucrative compensation package. Just google Monavie and the litigation cases are revealed. Since most of the top dogs in the company already have existing MLM networks, all he had to do is add great marketing to a product and BOOM instant success (money). It is a brilliantly executed plan by Mr. Larsen. This also explains why Monavie distributers are strongly defending their company. Most of them went without a product and compensation during the six month no-compete time period that Amway had hanging over their heads. They experienced a loss of income and sure as heck don't want that to happen again. As a doctor, the so-called science behind Monavie is a joke from a pure research point of view. Come on, a study consisting of 10 people. How does that relate to an entire species. If the FDA did sneak in on some meetings, the company would have been shut down instead of warned. I did personally attend a couple of "meetings" and even got in on a "tasting party". You could have substituted any product and the effect would be the same. The speakers had no clue about produce details. They get you emotionally hyped over an amount you would like to earn listed on the income disclosure so sign up and you are on your way. Unfortunately, unless Mr. Larsen has another product to introduce soon, Monavie will burn out as quickly as it boomed. It is already on the decline in Florida where all the hype started.

MonaVie indeed DOES work 100%, if you take it properly and give it time to work.
Here's why, read my personal story:
http://www.AlexZubarev.com

Its not just fruit juice, it is special fruit juice that cures the sick, and makes the salespeople "blessed". Of course if they dont do exactly what thier upline says, they will not be "blessed", because God only blesses those that work the sales plan exactly.

All of the "hype" of the product and "record growth" of the company can be directly attributed to Mr. Larsen's ability to have existing networks gravitate over from Amway. Since the networks already existed, all they did was plug a product in and boom, instant money (success). This also explains why the distributers who posted comments defend and promote the product the way they do. Those who gravitated away had a no compete clause and had their income streams disrupted. They don't want that to happen again. I've been to a few of the "meetings" and "tasting parties" and quite frankly it's not about the product, it's about getting people signed up under you to make money.

The human body is a perfectly functioning machine. Why do we need all of the special drinks and chocolates, etc.? Why not eat lots of fruits and vegetables and excercise, get enough sleep, drink enough water (which you will get easily if you eat enough fruits and veggies). We don't need a miracle elixir! We're perfectly fine the way we were made. With so many people who claim that this has helped them with joint pain, back pain, add, etc., I wonder if any of them have ever taken a look at their lifestyle-- are they overweight? Do they sleep enough? Are they hydrated? Are they happy? When your body sends you signals it's not asking for a miracle drink-- it's asking for something that can't be covered.

I'm no saint- I drink, I don't get as much sleep or water as I should and I can't say no to a slice of pizza-- but I do listen to my body. When it's about to crash I don't look for a quick fix, I adjust my lifestyle-- THAT'S ALL IT TAKES TO FEEL YOUR BEST!!!

All these testimonies of its therapeutic effects are phony and designed to prey upon the desperation of others. If you cant read the ingredients of something that is going into your body and realize that it is bad for you then you are going to need that $40 for your hospital care down the road. MonaVie is not the answer. Knowledge is. Not hand-me down blurbs designed to promote a commercial product.

My daughter had a cough for over six months and none of the doctors or meds she was given would help in the least. A friend gave her a bottle of Mona Vie and said try it what can it hurt. she tried it and on the third day the cough left, that was over a year ago.
She told me to try it and I said "I know all about SNAKE OILS". But with her cough gone I decided to try a bottle.
Within one month (not 2 weeks) my AC! test dropped from 7.4 to 6.1, blood pressure from 140 over 90 to
115 over 72, also all my other blood workup was ALMOST normal.
My doctor thought that the test results were that of someone else. Now after over a year she just tells me
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT JUST KEEP DOING IT'.
I also sleep better have more energy and people that hadn't seen me in awhile, want to know what I'm doing
differently.
My wife takes her drinks with me everyday. Its not for everbody and you might call it a SNAKE OIL, but I
don't EVER want to go a day with out it . Yes and we also have a web site. www.mymonavie.com/jlk.
If you havn't taken this juice for ATLEAST two months, then your negative comments fall on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned.

Confused, If this is just fruit, how is the Food and Drug Administration being eluded & why should they care. The last time I purchased fruit at the supermarket, I did not notice an FDA approval.
Another observation, I once read a comment by a reporter who attended a gym & exercised for two weeks, that didn't experience any physical miraculous results and had got muscle soreness to boot......I got it!!...I guess exercise is over hyped??? Wake up people ....adopt a healthy lifestyle...not just for two weeks, eat right & exercise....live long & prosper!!

Hey, I just put some Acai berry on the hood ornament of my car and now it's a dragster! Man, this stuff is JUST AMAZING!

Even more awesome, I put some Acai berry, some mangosteen, some Noni juice, some Kombucha, and a little bit of bull feces on a pyramid scheme, and it instantly turned into a get rich quick scheme! Again, this is so AMAZING it's... difficult to believe!

Well, it's been nice talking to y'all, but I'm off to put some Acai berry on the ozone hole... I'm dead certain to succeed!
