    I want to tell everyone about the new product that is selling like hotcakes to
    everyone I know. It is called Abba Zabba Zoom. It is made up of pure 100% wild
    candy. It contains all of the good ones. Let me give you a partial list of them:

    Razzels (the candy that becomes the GUM!!!)
    Skittles (taste the wild rainbow)
    Hershey's Kisses (so you have lots of love in your life)
    Florida's NATURAL FRUIT JUICE Nuggets (see it has natural fruit juice in to
    too!!!)
    Shark's Fin Lollipops (remember the shark cartilage craze? )
    Pop-Rocks (to give you that extra zip in your mouth!)
    Peas and Carrots Candy (so you can get your full days worth of veggies!!!!)
    Caramel Apple Chocolates (we all know how an apple a day keeps the doctor
    away!!)
    Plus many more that can't be named due to our patent pending MIRACLE mixture!!
    I guarantee that there is nothing but preservatives (only the best WILD ones) in
    our mixture. I can let you on to one little secret though (just promise not to
    tell anyone). The main liquid ingredient is YAHOO drink. Not one extra bit of
    water is added. Who would want to ruin such a good thing with water?
    Now I know that you must all be wondering how do you get in on the GROUND FLOOR
    of such an opportunity? (I mean really, the stuff sells itself and if it
    doesn't, we'll buy a scientist or two to say how wonderful it is and then it
    will FLY out the door). Want to know how you can sell this stuff WHOLESALE? Just go to www.ripoff.com and you will get all the
    information you need.
    My personal story is this:
    Before I started drinking Abba Zabba Zoom I had wrinkles all over my face. I
    have been drinking this wonderful elixir for over a year and ALL of my wrinkles
    have gone away. I just know it has to be due to the WILD preservatives that are
    found in this product. Just think ladies, no more looking like that old bag
    down the street!!! I have TONS of energy now. I just don't remember what my
    life was like before I started drinking all that processed SUGAR (that was wild
    at one point). I only need to sleep two hours a night (actually that is all I
    CAN sleep in a night). I have seen these wonderful results with my family,
    friends and the people I have sold it to at work. I have made so much money
    doing this that I swear I will be able to hopefully quit my full time job in only ten
    years.

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

      Are you supposed to advertise your dealership website on a blog? I thought that was against the MonaVie bylaws.

  • Posted By: Pucky @ 08/08/2008 1:41:59 AM

    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!!

  • Posted By: GetYourFactsRight @ 08/08/2008 1:23:42 AM

    Alex, what do you think you are doing??? If I was you I would go to your MyMonaVie site and pull all of that crap off the page, you are doing so much harm to the company right know that you don't even understand. It's just great that it works but mannnn, you are signing a death warrant with what you are doing on that page. Take it DOWN NOW!!! Also, you CAN NOT have MonaVie in your URL. All you have done here is raised a HUGE RED FLAG and I would not be surprised if MonaVie does not shut you down tomorrow. For everyone else, THIS is the crap that causes MonaVie grief, grow up.

  • Posted By: Genius Anus @ 08/07/2008 11:56:53 PM

    So my opinion is that you be kind to children and be kind to seniors and take the Mona Vie like they used to take in ancient Greece and step over quietly because we are not committing suicide; it's a revolutionary act. We can't go back; they won't leave us alone. They're now going back to tell more lies, which means more congressmen. And there's no way, no way we can survive.

    If someone wants to complain about a money maker, look at Oprah. SHE has "followers" who really believe this crap that this "zen master" says. Shes proffiting billions and no one is complaining. Come on now. The fact are there for this drink and or the acia itself. What about this Zen healing and meditation crap. no one but OPRAH is making money there.

    Don't be idiots! IT'S JUICE! You are not going to grow a third leg or fly! Drink it for what it is. Let me know when you feel that banana you eat kick in. It IS the healthiest natural thing you can put in your body to date and their have been great testimonies. The science is behind it. Learn how to read and get knowledgeable and don't speak out of ignorance. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT! Our bodies are going to react differently to different things. DO THE RESEARCH! Most of the people knocking any company or product are deceptively trying to market their own "great product". It is a billion dollar company for a reason! Because the product is real!! And the reason such a small percentage of the people in ANY company don't make money is because most of America doesn't want to get off of the couch from in front of the television and DO anything! Most people are looking for a get rich quick scheme! Get up and do something and you might see some progress!! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!

    I actually prefer the JUST LAUNCHED Zrii, which has a synergistic blend of seven SUPERFOODS including the Amalaki berry which grows in India. The health benefits are truly miraculous!

      I hear Zrii is having financial problems now, and also that wonderful product Go-yin, is Go-yin, Go-yin, GONNNNNE. I think they hold the record for shortest run. I love when companies use mystics and special powers to promote their products, ooOOOOoo, magical powers that can't be measured or explained, but trust me ha,. It makes for great website videos :)

      • Posted By: born2bz @ 08/07/2008 8:09:21 PM

        Where did you get that one. These comments amuse me when NONE of this is true. Its understandable when other MLM companies are afraid of what Zrii will be doing in this industry. We have a Billion dollar brander that's branded Fruit of the Loom, Jordache Jeans and the list goes on, six billion dollar brands in fact. Now's he's partnered with one of the most notable holistic doctors know today! Were not running out of money were just making sure our reps get paid for honest hard work. That's why we have the BEST Comp Plan around. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and come on board with one of the fastest growing Teams in Zrii.

        ps.
        There is NO ingredient called Go-yin so check the website and memorize the ingredients before you post.

    PEOPLE GET A FREAKIN GRIP. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH MONA VIE. I JUST THINK PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE SCARED THAT MONA VIE IS GOING TO TAKE OVER. MONA VIE HAS A HOLD ON SOMETHING GOOD AND THE PEOPLE ARE SKEPTICAL AND SCARED. ESPECIALLY THOSE COMPANIES LIKE XANGO AND ZRII AND SO ON.

    The body can only use betweed 3000-5000 ORAC units per day. Anything else is simply excreted by the kidneys. Those touting extremely high ORAC units such as 153,746 are just a waste. They blood has a delicate balance and must have some free-radicals to fight off things such as infection. It will use only what it needs and get rid of the rest. 153K is pure hogwash.

  • Posted By: GetYourFactsRight @ 08/07/2008 5:15:53 PM

    I think MIKEEYATL that you may find that MonaVie people whether they are new Distributors or at the highest levels in MonaVie will stand by Dallin Larsen's side. He is a great human being with the highest integrity and honor, as well as one of the most honest and compassionate human beings I have ever met. He is also a man that is reachable by anyone whether they are consumers or in the higher ranks. So that???s why someone that is in the Diamond ranks would come here to support and stand up for him. That???s why I do as well.

    • Posted By: mikeyatl @ 08/07/2008 5:45:36 PM

      All I am saying is that there is more to life than pitching juice. If you're a triple diamond then dissapear, and let your people enjoy the limelight. Show up for a convention here and there and stop thinking about pitching the dang sales pitch. The guys post reads like a book. and it means even though he's a millionaire he can't let go and let his underlings do the job. Its an ego stroke .. Dallin is smart.. God bless, drink the juice, join part of the blessed team, cure the sick... I dont agree with using God to market. Its like those holy rollers who ride around in Bentleys. I mean good for them, they found a way to be richer than most people, but to leverage peoples faith to bolster sales is a little rough for me to stomach. The juices are all good, they all work, and the top people make the serious cash.. no big deal. I applaud Mona for reaching the $1B mark first...Its just it won't last for long.. so emjoy the ride while you can and sell as much as humanly possible.. The whole basis of these companies is to MAXIMIZE NUMBERS OF SALES VOLUME FOR PERSONAL PROFIT. Which is OK.

    Obviously Tony Dokoupil needed to produce an article this week. It is really too bad, without more research he could only publish what he was considering to be negative light on a wonderful Company and even more wonderful product. If anyone wants to see what MonaVie and the Larsens are doing for the orphans in Brazil called the M.O.R.E foundation, do your own research. That is if you are interested in finding the good in what the Larsens and MV distributors are about. I always used to think if we didn't have negative media, magazines, TV, News, your sister, we wouldn't have any media. I have changed my life to only allow possitive media in my life, trying to learn to make a difference in peoples lives, try to encourage cultural change in our community. There are a lot of great products to consume. The important fact is that we are trying to improve our lives and stay or get healthier for the quality of life. Research the reason why MonaVie is known to be helping people - it is the highest amount of antioxidants one can consume in any food or drink, which rids us of the oxidation known as free radicals. Check the O.R.A.C. score with any drink you are consumming. If you don't know what O.R.A.C. score is - google and find out. It is really important in your choice of antioxidants. If the Company can not provide an O.R.A.C. score, find out why. I spend about $5.00 per day on MonaVie. If my effort to be healthy, I gave up my daily drive thru.---any fast food, or the hamberger & french fries and Soda that cost me more that $5.00, per day. It's a choice people -- hamberger or healthy fruit juice drink. It is our responsibility to be good to our bodies, no one else will do it for you. Call us a cult, pyramid or any other choice labels - But don't forget to call us responsible and healthy!!!!!!! God Bless you all..

      You should do more research. I am not saying MonaVie is a bad product but there are better things out there. Please enlighten me and answer my question. What nutritional value does the MonaVie blend offer that the Acai berry does not on it's own. MonaVie uses inferior fillers and over charges for the blend. Don't be fooled! Amazon Thunder has a much higher ORAC value as well as many other nutrients at a better price. MonaVie also contains pesticides and prevervatives. You can get the same or better results with other more pure products and treat yourself to fine dinning since you are giving up that junk food!

      • Posted By: GetYourFactsRight @ 08/07/2008 5:45:27 PM

        My God, sounds like Todd Reum writing this crap.

        ------
        Why do you think you???re even close to the statements about ORAC and fillers and nutrients etc. Amazon Thunder can only DREAM of having as high a quality of Acai and other fruit as MonaVie does. So tells us, what is the total solids contained in Amazon Thunder???s Acai, is it 14%+ like MonaVie???s or is it 2-4% like the majority of the stuff that???s out there. How would you even know what MonaVie uses in their product, are you a scientist or formulator?
        One thing I find very interesting about MonaVie as compared to Amazon Thunder and all the other little guys out there. MonaVie has never compared their product to any other product. Only small insignificant companies do that. The only way these little guys can raise themselves up is by putting everything and everyone else around them DOWN. Pretty sad really.

      VIBE actually has an ORAC score of 153,746 as compared to MonaVie's score of only 31,099. Also, MonaVie is nutritionally basic as compared to VIBE (see RDA Ingrediant Comparison link - http://www.vibeforme.com/ExigoMedia/CompetComp.pdf and make sure to read both pages)

  • Posted By: ColumbusPro @ 08/06/2008 3:47:29 PM

    My wife and I have been drinking Monavie for 6 months, and we love it. How can you beat 19 of the best fruits in the world in one convenient serving! Everyone from the government health agencies to independent researchers are continually discovering more reasons people need to get nutrient rich fruits in their daily diet.

    • Posted By: radbee @ 08/06/2008 3:50:06 PM

      Sorry to burst anyone???s bubble, but there is another vitamin and mineral product out called VIBE that has an ORAC value of 2,600 per fluid oz as compared to MonaVie???s ORAC value of 1,000 per fluid oz. Also, VIBE costs $39.95 for 32.0 oz, as compared to MonaVie at $39.00 for 25.4 oz. For a complete nutritional label on VIBE, go to http://www.vibeforme.com/Vibe1.aspx and scroll down the page. Similar to MonaVie, individuals can also become distributors for VIBE, or just purchase it for themselves.

      • Posted By: TP in RC @ 08/06/2008 8:03:53 PM

        The acai in Mona Vie has an ORAC score of 1,026 per GRAM. There are 28 grams in 1 oz. That would mean an ORAC score of approx. 28,000 per ounce. Now, which is a better buy???

        • Posted By: radbee @ 08/07/2008 5:37:52 PM

          I'll be the first to admit I made a mistake. VIBE actually has an ORAC score of 153,746 as compared to MonaVie's score of only 31,099.

  • Posted By: rmc1 @ 08/06/2008 4:26:47 PM

    A typical article for News week or other publications. Write what they think prople want to hear,I've never heard a presentation by a distributor or anyone else about the cures, they say it may not be for everyone.One person said they brokeout, didn't say with what,THEN DO NOT DRINK IT!!! very simple.!!!Some people get
    hives from drinking milk!! Or another (newsweek writer ) said he got dizzy!! LOL.,but had to have been the
    new glass's.Or maybe was drunk, too much scotch??? Nobody from Monavie said it'll do this or do that but did say it might not be for you. Thankfully the FDA doesn't have to approve this,usually anything thats good for you is considered bad for them, no kickback from the medical profession.Several years ago a diet
    product called Herbalife was almost put out of business by the FDA, they said it was not good, yet approved
    diet pills etc. I was on the herbalife diet for a couple months, and lost 25 lbs,.You can count on one thing, If
    its good for you the FDA or others will have a negative view of the product!! The money part....... like anything
    job or otherwise you work , you make money you don't do the work, you don't make money , very simple!!You
    do what they say, and you'll make money!! Oh yeah for the vibe guy, if you like that, then thats what you should stay with! Very Basic!

    All you brainwashed MLM Mormons are pathetic! Its a Mormon run co scam just like the religion all a lie!
    Americans wake up! Stop giving your money to this cult! Our country was based on Christian Heritage and Mormonism is not Christian but just a lie. Everytime you support this MLM lie with the co mentioned in this article you are supporting a cult!

    Dallin Larsen has had previous companies shut down by the FDA, all of you are Monavie reps on here desperately trying to speak out to save your pathetic product that actually contains Mercury from the shell fish you use for the Glucosamine I could go on and on! The biggest thing to though is Monavie does not support any charitable organizations at all in the Amazon like they say they do! Im so tired of hearing about these lies from all these pathetic companies like Monavie, Acai Plus etc etc all just fly by night BS! Ive taken it and it does nothing it is placebo because it contains so little acai and is defeated by all the other harmful things in it! Do some research back things up because the claims that are being made here are all BS! Try going to the Amazon have you ever been there? they drink acai in its real form unbastardized like Monavie is making it and pure and real with no additives and they drink it in quantity! Foolish people who are ignorant is what Im seeing here trying to sell the world on this article by rebutting it with nothing backed up at all!

      Jay, this "country" was founded by Native American people who did not kill others because of thier belief systems. This Government may be based on Christianity, since it is so "Right" all the time. More people have been killed in the name of "God" than for any other reason. Catholic was how i was raised, and give me a break..some of the biggest murderers of all time. Mona definitely has a religious overtone to it, but it seems the Mormons have become sucessful profiteers. All the power to them, This is capitalism baby, and if you go humgry, its because you did not work hard or smart enough.

  • Posted By: reisbergsgal @ 08/07/2008 4:59:05 PM

    Another thing-- if these business were so "passionate" about their products they would be pushing them in health food stores, vending machines, farmers markets, corner markets, etc. They have a simple little product that they want you to believe is the holy grail all the while, the attention and detail really goes into their marketing scheam. If a product can help with all of these ailmants-- why not get it approved by the FDA? Why not offer it in hospitals? Because these people hide behind their products so that they can trick you! All I can say is that if I invented a product that was so beneficial to one's health, I would do my best to get it in every major market, store, mall around.

    • Posted By: 5atpeace @ 08/07/2008 5:18:33 PM

      Though I do not take Monavie and am with a company with a much better compensation plan that has an acai berry supplement drink, the reason it's not in the health field is money. The pharmacuetical companies pretty much run the doctors, hospitals, etc. I just learned this week that doctors get a kick back from the pharmacuetical companies. If they can make a killing off of certain drugs, though they have tons of possible side effects, why give the patients something that is natural that can help them and they lose money. Only a few doctors and nurses are on board with natural products. I do know people who have been helped with Monavie and the product I sell as well, but most companies unlike mine, don't allow you to sell in stores or even advertise in newspapers.

    • Posted By: GetYourFactsRight @ 08/07/2008 5:17:46 PM

      Offer it to hospitals, ha that's a laugh. Drug companies would rear their ugly heads and shut that pork barrel down in a heartbeat!
