    It would seem to me that this is just another Amway in the making, get all the mindless lemmings to tout a product that really is just snake oil, promise them money and richers they are never going to makemake health claims that cannot be verified, and then they take your money and run. God has the average person just lost total ability to think for themselves, or are we just so hungry to make money the lazy way that we fall for every underhanded scam (YES I SAID SCAM) out there. sip on that for a while.

      You obviously know nothing about business. MLM's are one of the most difficult business ventures to endure. It issometimes more difficult than owning your own business. There is nothing to hide here - networking marketing is a tough business. YOU either possess the drive necessary to succeed or you fail. It's unfortunate that most people who do not have the drive to succeed will speak negative comments about an MLM and say it's a scam. Why don't you read a book (heard of it right?) by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. They will give you great information about direct selling. You either have the gut for network marketing or you don't; but if you don't, don't bash others for trying.

        Come on..... MonaVie is a scam, far from being a respected company with it's tactics and washed out drink. Just look how defensive you brainwashed reps are. That juice triggered a circuit in your brain to make you believe MonaVie is a reputable company.

      Evidently you didn't realize that originally "snake oil" was what helped the Chinese live a longer and healthier life while building the transcontinental railroad rather than the Irish who ingested whisky. Snake oil from sea snakes did help the Chinese. If people are experiencing less pain and more energy from consuming MonaVie, why so much criticism?

    MonaVie indeed DOES work, if you take it properly and give it time to work.

    You MonaVie reps are showing how much of a scam your company is. Look how brainwashed you reps are by trying to defend a scam spouting off the samething all MLM reps spout off about the industry. You are the only ones saying anything positive about the juice because of your involvement. Your like a bunch of kinds in a candy dish on Newsweek website. What about the business? Do you know how much trouble MonaVie is in right now? Of course not, your new and blinded. You all are repeating the same thing about MonaVie. It does not matter how effective your juice product may be. It is not about if the product is FDA approved or not or if some fictitious ORAC Scale was done. It is about the integrity of the company and the representatives in the company. Do you think by now that we all know you can not FDA approve a juice, seriously, are you all just now learning that yourself. What can happened to MonaVie is that the FDA can step in and shut it down because you reps are making unethical health claims of mitigating diseases on any website that talks about MonaVie. Very Deceptive. Just look at you fools, spamming like a bunch of wild program bots with your websites, emails and phone numbers. Who would follow such uninformed representatives? Everyone involved in MonaVie sets a bad example for your company. Your company already has a enough problems with the FDA warnings and FTC investigations on SPLIT PYRAMIDS (Binary Plan). MonaVie is responsible for your actions and your responsible for your own actions. What you say and do can get you canned from your own business. That right there does not sound like an independent business owner sounds more like an employee to the big kahuna at the top of your pyramid scheme!

    The same old saying is the best anyone can learn by ???An apple a day keeps the doctor away.??? ???Vitamin C kills cancer cells.??? If you eat healthy (fruits and Vegetables), exercise regularly and sleep regularly, you would be amazed at the changes in your health compared to you sitting at your PC eating a bag of Doritos and drinking a 44 ounce of pop spouting off that Monavie is the best thing since sliced bread. MonaVie is a scam, it is overpriced and it tastes like crap! Educate yourself!

    It is Funny MonaVie can never explain how much of the magical acai berry is in the juice, therefore, what are you REALLY paying for? The people from Brazil are telling you all scam artist in MonaVie, your product is junk.

    • Posted By: Tanishaw @ 08/07/2008 5:05:16 PM

      I love it. You hit the nail right on the head. It's about time someone educated has something to say about this scheme. When you start getting attacked by reps you hit them right where it counts.

    • Posted By: herewewere @ 08/06/2008 6:02:13 PM

      I don't know what your deal is but, first of all, I am not a rep of MonaVie, in fact I haven't even tried this juice. However, your statements illustrate the ignorance of many who still trust the FDA and what they approve and don't approve. Have you even looked at the effects of the things they have approved? Do some research and stop making yourself sound stupid.

    • Posted By: the superjuice source @ 08/06/2008 3:47:26 PM

      You're speaking from a place of ignorance, a knee jerk reaction to probably being scammed in the past.

      If you do the research, Monavie will tell you that acai makes up about 60 percent of the blend. The other 18 fruits have been selected due to the synergistic effect they create when combined, giving a lot more nutrition than one form of antioxidant alone.

      The company has been wonderful. They operate with the highest quality controls, with a patented process of preserving the nutrients in the juice no one else has. Monavie is also very clear that we can't make excessive health claims, although they have recently said that we can speak about several cancer studies that have been published with Monavie, as Monavie in a double blind study killed cancer cells in a laboratory setting. These are scientific studies not the words of unscrupulous snake oil salesmen.

      Day after day I see what Monavie is doing to people's lives, both in terms of health and wealth. Its made a tremendous difference to our lives personally. We're living with more vitality and financial freedom. We wouldn't have imagined 450 dollars a week in extra residual income could be so helpful, but it is.

      Not to mention how happy it makes us to see other people do well with this. Its so joyous to see other people do well and get excited as their health improves and so does their financial outlook.

      If you want to know more, go to mymonavie.com/thesuperjuicesource or email us at thesuperjuicesource@yahoo.com

      Bottom line, there's a lot of things you can do to help your health naturally, and eating an apple a day is one of them. Monavie simply takes proven principles and puts it in a bottle for you to pour.

      Whomever pours the most juice wins in our business, both health and wealth wise.

    • Posted By: Report2FTC @ 08/06/2008 3:45:27 PM

      You can kiss that $450 a week goodbye. Your company already warned you about making deceptive mitigation claims of diseases and Income claims. FTC and FDA will love this post. Go to www.fda.gov to file your complaint of unethical claims being made on this post. These reps are foolish enough to give emails, phone numbers and websites.

        Your Ridiculous! I am not a rep don't sell the product. But I live in America and I choose to drink Mona Vie because it makes me feel better. And if I choose to tell people what I get out of this product, Even if I believe it cures all my medical problems I am under contract with no one and I could say Mona Vie makes me see 20/20 if that's what I believe.There is something in this country called freedom of speech. However there are laws about slander. I do not believe that the company is making promises of medical cures. Just people stating what it has done for them personally. Placebo or Miracle Juice does it matter if you believe it makes you feel better drink it, if it doesn;t don't! If you stop taking modern medicine to try something someone said worked for them then your just stupid! I like the juice my family feels better drinking it, and we wil continue to do so.

        Don't listen to this guy. One day people will uprise against the corrupt FDA anyway because they won't shut their traps and stop lying to people, approving all the garbage they approve that kills people while suppressing the truth about what really helps people.

  • Posted By: shellybaby @ 08/06/2008 3:49:00 PM

    Thanks for this input. I really appreciate all the data for me to make a wise decision on this product. We don't need anymore scams and dishonesty out there to make a buck. How about just developing something that is honestly good...it'll sell itself without any hype and hey, you might make an honest buck at it.

    Bon Appitte , MonaVie. I wonder what ever happened to just healthy living? Try promotting the use of natural good old fashioned whole foods, clean and natural water, and preventive measures to keep the body healthy, so when it crashes from abuse, there is no need to use a " miricle juice" to correct the damage already done.by a lifetime of unhealthy living!

    • Posted By: Drinking&SharingTheJuiceForLife @ 08/06/2008 4:15:39 PM

      Bon Appitte....LOL....Have you ever tried purchasing just 8 pieces of ORGANIC fruit for a days supply ...which we are being told we should be consuming 5-7 daily. Well, let me tell you 8 pieces of organic fruit, you will find is approximately $20 a day for one adult, and thats if most dont go bad on you before you get to them to eat them daily. MonaVie simply created CONVENIENCE and less cost......why are you people so set on a 'miracle juice'....their is no miracle involved in a juice that in just 4 ounces a day gives you the equivalent of 9-13 servings of fruits AND vegetables a day! AND guess what....4 ounces costs you approx a little under $5 a day!!! Now you tell me where the scam lies in that. You people REALLY need to do your homework...you are missing the boat on nutrition and wealth due to ignorance.

      • Posted By: Report2FTC @ 08/06/2008 5:08:32 PM

        MonaVie reps are lazy and defensive. They won't fly with them!

    MonaVie has some very questionable motives on how they present their business. Who cares about the product, they are a dime a dozen. Most people forgot how to eat right and exercise so it??? no wonder epidemics are high and people are looking for that miracle snake oil. People are just to lazy to go back to the basics of what worked for thousands of years.
    The structure and representation of MonaVie is nothing more than a cleaver pyramid scheme, plan and simple. With a Binary comp plan that is in place for Monavie; reps have to continuously recruit to get paid for their efforts on their other leg to balance out the run-away-leg. Everyone already knows the slick sales reps from Quixtar, otherwise known at AMWAY, jumped into this business to stir up the heat in this scheme. They are professional scammers and they are passing their tactics down to their new-programmed soldiers.

  • Posted By: doohickies @ 08/06/2008 1:12:38 PM

    It's probably better than drinking sodas but it is still pasteurized and has a preservative in it. I found healthy chocolate and it has almost ten times the ORAC and has the science to back it up. Do your own research and check out chocolatedreamz(dot)com. Google dark chocolate studies and see for yourself.

    • Posted By: rebelallways @ 08/06/2008 1:52:12 PM

      Enter Your CommentI think you better double check that chocolate. You will find there claim is for an ounce, the number they give for Monavie is for a gram. Big difference! Also you pay just about the same as Monavie and don't have anywhere the product. Check the ingredients of both.

      • Posted By: jennd317 @ 08/07/2008 4:38:20 PM

        I'm wondering why MonaVie doesn't post it's ORAC score anywhere... Xocai does... on every one of their products.. oh and it's been tested by the Brunswick Lab. Also, the ORAC value according to the USDA for unprocessed chocolate is 26,000 and for the Acai berry, it's 18,500. Xocai uses both of these ingredients. Seeing as how MonaVie only uses the Acai berry, and comes already in a liquid (antioxidants start to deplete) I just don't see how you can come to the conclusion the MonaVie has more ORAC than Xocai. Not knocking MonaVie... just defending Xocai.

  • Posted By: gymrat @ 08/06/2008 1:16:10 PM

    Doohickies...I think the American Cancer Sociey recommends 5-7 servings of FRUIT a day, not chocolate

    • Posted By: jennd317 @ 08/07/2008 4:32:03 PM

      You're right... because the chocolate that's on the shelf is all processed crap with addiditives like sugar, dairy, wax, and saturated fats... do some research and check out how cocoa is good for you. In fact it is a VEGETABLE. The chocolate she's talking about is unprocessed and very good for you. Plus it has the acai berry in it.

        It makes so much profit, give back a little to buy positive publicity and what can be a better cover-up and advertisement? Ken Lay, the late Environ, CEO, didn't he donnated quite a little bit? He was a god lover, too. It is about packaging the image. It is part of the cost, excuse.

    Wow. Who would have thunk it. Regardless of which Network Marketing business you're in, there will always be people who make claims that are not exactly true. Some do it just to get the sale, and some do it completely out of ignorance due to what they were told by their upline.

    If any Monavie distributors are looking for a home, take a look at http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?83315 where this Health & Fitness company gives you around 30-50 customers added to your business every single month, absolutely free of charge.

    MonaVie is awesome stuff. It cured my fungus on my left leg, my Lupus, my Diabetes and my tumor. My doctor was amazed and asked how I was able to get rid of all my health issues. I pulled out my bottle and told him this MonaVie juice cured my fungus, lupus, diabetes and my tumor. Then I have a lot of fungus friends and I started to share the juice with to see if it would cure their fungus or health problems. One of my friends it cured her maple syrup urine disease and fungus. Then another friend it cured her elephantitius along with her fungus. Then, one friend drank the juice and spit the juice all over me. I couldn???t believe it, however, a few days later I started to develop warts in the spots she got her spit on me at., then I started to see things I have never seen before, that looked like fairies and they started to talk to me. I started to develop wings and the next thing you know, I could fly. I really could fly. I made my way to Monavie Land and was swimming in the juice with the fairies. Now my whole body shriveled up and I aged by 40 years, my wings fell off and the fairies won???t talk to me anymore, but I still see them.

    To this day they said I can be release in 4 months and they said I???m getting better now. I???ve been given permission to use the computer for one hour a day. I still don't have sunlight or dirt between my toes. I told my psychiatric doctor the juice put me in here and all he can do is tighten up my straps.

    This is just how MonaVie reps sound. LMAO :-)
