    Shame on you for being so negative and ignorant to the wonderful affects of Monavie. Every business is a pyramid scheme, Think about it. The owner makes the most money and answers to no one. Then the manager is under him and makes less money but only answers to the owner, then the assistant manager and so forth. At least Monavie gives you the chance to attain financial freedom by offering a product that really helps people. Im so tired of hearing, "the cost of gas is high" so why would people spend money on Monavie. Most people get a starbucks every morning or some form of coffee product ($3.50-$7), then there is the stop at the fast food place for lunch ($6-$9) and maybe an energy drink to give you that boost for the rest of the day ( $3-$5). How much does all that cost? Well I guarantee its more than $4.00 a day, which if you take the recommended amount of 2 ounces a day, that equals out to be $36 in 9 days. Well the bottle retails for $40.00 and it lasts 9 days when taking 2 ounces a day. Plus because of all the health benefits, you can stop taking things like other vitamins, sleep aids, energy drinks, and in some cases, people report doing away with high cost presciptions, just to name a few. What about botox and other skin treatment. One of Monavie's most noted qualities is its ability to keep your skin looking younger and healthier. The tribes that live in Rainforest where the acai berry, the crown jewel of Monavie, is found, consist of people that have lived on this berry their whole lives. Some of which are in their 50's and 60's with amazing skin almost No wrinkles whatsoever. In just three years this company has made over $1 billion in sales, surpassing ebay and Amazon and only 1 out of 100 Americans surveyed, had even heard of Monavie. Conclusion, Monavie has so much potential and at the rate it is going, it is speculated to become a Trillion dollar business in the next two years. I always wanted a job where I helped people, I made great money, and I loved what I did. With Monavie I have found my career, and I am so grateful to have found such an opportunity. If anyone wants to try Monavie, or inquire more information about Monavie or how to become a distributor then please feel free to check out my web page at www.the-team.biz/mv1371423. Also my email is hopeandhealth@hotmail.com. If you have already done your research and would like to jump on board then go to monavie.com and use my distributor ID ( 1371423 )so you may enroll. Thank you for your time.

    Folks, MLM companies are much more popular today than ever before with a shifting economy and more people looking for ways to work from home and avoid gas and daycare costs. Monavie is producing 1,000,000 bottles of juice per day! Do think this is just stacking up in garages around the world and that many people are deceived? The reason Monavie IS as good as it claims is simple. They have a patented process of harvesting all 19 fruits at their peek nutrional stage of growth. You will not find a comparable product in any store. Your super market produce is picked weeks before it is ripe or has any substancial nutironal value.

    The company is VERY CLEAR about what independent distributors shoud and shouldn't say and they print it in black and white. This is a FOOD, not a drug; but it is one of the best nutritional foods known to man and there is science to substantiate this.

    Monavie DOES give back to Brazil in a HUGE way. Enormous resources ARE donated to the children of Brazil and the rain forest are protected BECAUSE Monavie is there harvesting fruit. The rain forest supplies a great percentage of our earth's oxygen. Monavie has provided a better value for the trees existance by harvesting the acai berry than the poachers who wanted to destroy the forests all together.

    Knowledge is power, people. sitting on the side of the road with the rest of the uneducated critics will keep you in the dark. The product was designed to provide long term effects and the compensation plan was designed to provide long term residual income. Dallin Larson is a man passion, integrity, and impecable character. Monavie is NOT a get-health-quick or get-rich-quick company. www.rnjinnovations.com

    This article totally discounts any benefit people experience while drinking Monavie -- 1 million distributors means 1 million people that believe in the product -- how was something so obvious overlooked?

  • Posted By: ACAIRN @ 08/07/2008 9:49:41 AM

    Please understand that Mr.Dokoupil NEVER intended to write a positive factual article on Monavie. Here is his post soliciting negative comments on a Monaive blog site. Newsweek editors should be ashamed of themselves for publishing this....it belongs in National Enquire!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    I'm a reporter for a national print publication that's working on a story about MonaVie. Since I've already heard tons of positive testimonials, I'd be interested in hearing from any one who has had a bad experience distributing the drink. I can be reached at 212-445-4430. Many thanks.

    I suggest those of us with integrity call Mr. Dokoupil and help improve his research

    If you think Mona Vie works well, then educate yourself on Jus 23. See the video here.

    www.myjus23.com/groundzero

    It has over 10X the ORAC score of Mona, and is 1/4 the cost to drink per month. The company has not even had formal rollout, so you can still have hopes of being in the top 50 people to make it to the upper echelons. If you want to talk to a solid upline who WONT leave you in the dust, and will make sure you get to the upper levels, then contact verastarr@gmail.com and take advantage of 25 years of professional sales management and training. If you feel bad asking people to pay $140 per month as a Mona "drinker", Then how about $40 per month for a "drinker" of Jus 23. It has the same major ingredients as Mona PLUS Aloe Vera, Reishi Mushroom, Green Tea, Mangosteen and Noni. Drink the juice that has put them ALL together to get the HIGHEST ORAC per oz. ever tested !!

    I knew MonaVie was a scam the 1st time I saw an ad. I have ordered real ACAI from AmazonThunder and the only way it has any benefits is if it is processed with 24-48 hrs of being harvested. I have used ACAI in a concentrated form, 2oz. packets that is combined with grape skin extract to give it some flavor. I use the ACAI when I feel a cold or sickness coming on. I take 1, 2oz packet & mix it in herbal tea, 1-2 days, and my illness is gone within 2 days! I eat Goji berries in organic oatmeal daily and use the ACAI when i feel an illness coming on. I hadn't been sick for over 2 yrs. until I ran out of both Goji Berries and ACAI! Go to the Amazon Thunder site and check out the ORAC value of the ACAI (the packets have the highest) and try them with the Goji Berries that can be found in any health food store. Always buy organic and use the ACAI as soon as you feel an illness coming on. To the women I read with the rear disease, I would try the Goji Berries and ACAI, get the ACAI from Amazon Thunder (amazonthunder.com). There is something else you can try, it is called Spring Forest Qigong, with Master Healer Chunyi Lin. It uses the energy within your body to heal. I have some people swear that it works, it has been around for centuries and has recently been rediscovered. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For all of you MonaVie distributors **making even one comment about MonaVie** you do realize that you are in violation of the basic policies and procedures that MonaVie has required you all to abide by...right? Now that you put your information out there you can sure bet MonaVie compliance dept. will terminate your position.

      the FDA is a big Scam!!!!!!

        Yes they are, they are also known as the Fatal Drug Administration. They have the right and authority to shut down schemes like MonaVie for making unethical medical health claims, since all MonaVie is, is a juice. But reps are making it out to be a miracle drug. Once reps go down that path like they are on this blog, then you put MonaVie in jeopardy of being """ Shut Down """ and the Independent Rep in jeopardy of losing their business and product without notification.

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

    I KNEW MONA VIE WAS A SCAM FROM THE START. A TRUE ACAI DRINK WOULD NOT BE MIXING OTHER FRUITS INTO THE DRINK. I HAVE TAKEN ACAI IN 2OZ PACKETS THAT I MIX WITH HERBAL TEA AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE (24 PACKETS $48). WHEN I FEEL A COLD COMING I TAKE IT FOR 1-2 DAYS AND MY COLD IS GONE BY THE 3rd OR 4th DAY. ACAI HAS TO BE PROCESSED WITHIN 48 HRS OF BEING PICKED, IT HAS NO SUGAR TASTE (WHY I MIX IN HERBAL TEA), AND ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AN OIL FLOATING IN THE TEA. I GET MY ACAI FROM AMAZON THUNDER, THEY COMBINE IT WITH GRAPE SKIN TO GIVE IT SOME FLAVOR, BOTH ARE ORGANIC, AND IT WORKS. THEY SELL JUICE, CONCENTRATED PACKETS, AND NOW A CONCENTRATED PILL FORM. ACAI WORKS!!!! IT JUST HAS TO BE REAL ACAI AND NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN WATERED DOWN, SUGARED AND MIXED WITH OTHER JUICES. I ALSO EAT GOJI BERRIES AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND THE ONLY COLD I HAVE HAD IN 2 1/2 YRS WAS WHEN I RAN OUT OF THE GOJI BERRIES AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACAI TO MIX WITH MY TEA!!!! FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE ME, GO TO THE AMAZON THUNDER SITE, BUY SOME REAL ACAI, AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

    I have a very rare disease, primary pulmonary hypertension. A friend at the University of Michigan Hospital, told me about what this "Juice" was doing to help rebuild peoples system after cancer. As I'm on 17 different medications (most of whom have warning sheets two pages long- and are designed to lower my white and red cell count , cause severe leg cramps, hurt my liver...etc..etc..) I thought it wouldn't hurt to try something it isis amazingItthat healthy in my system.

    For all of you MonaVie distributors **making even one comment about MonaVie** you do realize that you are in violation of the basic policies and procedures that MonaVie has required you all to abide by...right? MonaVie Compliance Department will view your statements as deceptive. Now that you put your information out there you can sure bet MonaVie compliance department will terminate your position. All your defensive lashing out post was all for nothing.

    Newsweek,

    Thank you for this story, you just stumbled across a pyramid scheme in the making and awakened a mod of deceptive brainwashed angry cult sales reps. Now that your blog allows for the FDA and FTC to have proof of a dozen soon to be hundreds of violations and deceptive statements this company will be shut down very soon. Many Juice company pyramids went down the same way.

    : MonaVie has too many illegal issues. Check out one of their Cyber Warnings from a year ago.

    Thank you StacyW.

    Do you Reps who are making claims and putting your information on this blog know when this company gets shut down you will get over a thousand calls from other opportunity seekers in the MLM Pyramid World if your not in jail with this scam. When SeaSilver was shut down by the FDA for the same reasons as to what is happening to MonaVie, the company stopped everying without notifying the reps and the customers. And a lot of Reps had to pay out a fine and some went to jail. I hope you all have a good lawyer!!!!!

      Hey.. thanks for posting those sites. As far as I'm concerned, it's looking very positive for MonaVie. Only 21 complaints out of 10,000 people (per week) signing up into MonaVie. Wow. Do you really think that's a lot of complaints for a company of this size? LOL. You ought to get a job with Newsweek.

        Actually it is, considering MonaVie is a Privately held company and they do not disclosure actual numbers of profit or enrollment. It is all here say, just like MonaVie Reps! You all can not be trusted and your full of unethical heath claims.

    Mona Vie is the best thing that ever happened to me. When I lost my leg to a flesh eating bacteria infection I poured a little Mona Vie on it and it grew back a much better leg than I had before. So I cut off my other leg and poured Mona Vie on it so they would match. Now I have two of the best legs around! I'm sure if they poured some Mona Vie on the planet Mars it would turn into the garden of Eden and we could all move there and drink Mona Vie forever.

    I just came back from a MonaVie training with a groups of people that work together to share a wonderful health juice, rich in antioxidants and an opportunity that enhances lives on many levels. I have been drinking it since the end of 2007. I got hooked on the taste, the buzz I feel on my skin and the energy I get from it. Since a couple of months ago I decided to share it with people that can benefit from the nourishing effects and those who are looking for an opportunity that can bring more financial freedom in their lives. I earn a sizable 6-figure income in my profession, but decided to try this, so that I can help share the health and wealth with others. Since I started sharing it, I am bringing in an extra $1000 a month from the few people that are drinking it and some are starting to share it as well. What other health drink you buy in a regular store pays you back anything and even make more than what you spend. My personal consumption is about $263 a month, that is over $727 dollars in my pocket. And it keeps growing. So for those skeptics. Don't knock it until you really try it, the juice and the opportunity.
