A Drink’s Purple Reign

If you attended the June meeting, then of course you know that the CEO of this company is unlike the typical corporate america CEO. Corporare america stresses the bottom line: work harder and get paid less. And of course in corporate america only the top execs. make the millions while they are working and even when they leave because of the golden parachutes they receive upon their departure!!
I researched this product for over 4 months trying to find something wrong with it to no avail. Monavie is one of the best products on the market. I'm wondering if the pharmaceutical companies helped you research your article. They certainly don't benefit from people feeling so great from one product. Go back to your eye doctor and have your new glasses checked. Try drinking the product for a month or two and then write your story. You missed the boat on this one!

The FDA is not required to regulate FOOD which is what Monavie is - wild and organic fruits which is healthy and good for you. No drugs. Perhaps that is your complaint, Mr. Dokoupil.
I have experienced nothing but integrity from this company, Monavie. From the management to the
various distributors involved. Has this country and our society become so jaded that it needs to bash a company that epitomises the ultimate American dream through relational marketing to help others and give back to the impoverished and ,oh my, beable to be in charge of one's own finanacial health? What is wrong with that? It is easy to be negative about anything you do not understand, Mr. Dokoupil. The challange is to be positive, who knows you might gain some wisdom.

What is wrong with selling juice?
Rich people pay tons of money for cosmetics and clothes while poor people shop thrifts. So what if they want to pay a high price for a juice that has more berries in it than any kind they can get at Publix?
Better drinking fancy juice than Scotch which has a comprable price!

Most of the critics out their are ignorant to what the FDA is pushing down your throats. You are simply being brain washed by an organization that is controlled by lobbiests for the same companies that poison you every day with chemicals in your food that you eat and chemicals to cure illness. Think about it if the FDA is doing such a great job protecting the American people why then has the cancer rate now 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 dedie d
4 die.

THE FIVE RED FLAGS of product-based pyramid schemes, or recruiting MLM???s

1. Each person recruited is empowered and given incentives to recruit other participants, who are empowered and motivated to recruit still other participants, etc. ??? in an endless chain of empowered and motivated recruiters recruiting recruiters ??? without regard to (de facto) market saturation.

2. Advancement in a hierarchy of multiple levels of ???distributors??? is achieved by recruitment, rather than by appointment.

3. ???Pay to play??? requirements are met by ongoing ???incentivized purchases,??? with participants the primary buyers.

4. The MLM company pays commissions and bonuses on more ???distributor??? levels than are functionally justified; i.e., more than five levels.

5. Company payout (in commissions, bonuses, etc.) per sale for the total of all upline participants together equals or exceeds that for the person selling the product ??? resulting in inadequate incentive to retail and excessive incentive to recruit.

I am a new distributor of Mona Vie. My wife and I were asked to participate in a regional training event at the corporate offices of Mona Vie. It was an awesome experience and I am very glad we went to it. We were just as skeptical as most other people when discussing network marketing companies. I was even more so. I have been in the medical device industry for nine years; prior to that I was in the blood banking industry for 15 years. My experience in my daily job led me to be extra cautious about Mona Vie. However, I am a believer because I tried the product and took my time and did my due diligence. I visited the corporate offices, met some of the founders and even met the manager of the Regulatory Oversight department. I highly recommend this experience. There is an upcoming event if you want to go with me ??? please email me below.
We were all told the truth that your experience is yours and yours to share - THEY WARNED us against making false claims. The FDA warning letter is because of a single distributor that is rogue and not following company rules. I have worked in an FDA regulated environment for more than 23 years. I have managed multiple FDA inspections of facilities that I was responsible for. I am intelligent enough to recognize a scam when I see it. With Mona Vie, I am a believer ??? that is why my mother and my mother-in-law are both taking this product. Yes, it caused them to go to the bathroom more often initially, but now my mother is doing well and has good energy and sleeps through the night. Her arthritis does not act up as much as it did before. She has been on it for two weeks. My mother-in-law had similar issues with the bathroom, but her diet rarely consisted of any fruit and finally, she became regulated ??? without having to take stool softeners. Other results, I???m sure are forthcoming.
If you want to discuss this intelligently - please email me at best4us@xmission.com. I am happy to discuss this and review the facts that I have investigated since I started with Mona Vie three weeks ago.
Thanks for thinking about it.

The cost of acai products is coming down as it enters the mainstream. MonaVie will continue with the momentum it has for some time, but it will also have to drop its price considerably. See www.acai-berry.tv

The owner is a Serious Scam Artist!!! Just look at his previous leadership skills with a overpriced Superfruit Juice Company called Dynamic Essentials that marketed a juice called Royal Tongan Limu Juice. He was happy to market and promote false claims for treating various diseases like cancer, arthritis and ADD, even after the FDA issued a warning a year prior. Since the company did not comply with the warnings, the company eventually stopped selling the product and its remaining inventory of $2,700,000 was destroyed under FDA supervision. FDA site on Dynamic Essentials http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2003/NEW00976.html

History repeats itself with MonaVie. http://www.fda.gov/cder/warn/cyber/2007/UTVokes.pdf This FDA Warning was issued a year ago for making health claims against Monavie. MonaVie uses 3rd party info for medical claims and people on posts and meetings are making false medical claims that cure health problems. FDA will keep a watchful eye on MonaVie this year after the cyber warning to one of it's sales reps. Since this FDA warning from a year ago MonaVie did react to the warning, by banning web sites produced by anyone below the level of Black Diamond to help clean up the claims. But did it stop? Go to Myspace, Facebook, blogs like this site or youtube to see for yourself. Then recently I went to a festival in my town in June and would you know it, 3rd party health claims mixed in with a tasting tent of MonaVie Juice and reps spouting off cures cancer and diabetes just to name a few. I took pictures and sent those straight to the FDA. I urge you to do the same so others do not get suckered into an overpriced juice that promotes a pyramid scheme.
Then there is another issue with the FTC. The FTC is starting to crack down on companies like MonaVie measuring the amount of sales to distributors compared to the dollar amount generated by sales to end consumers. Basically, MonaVie Reps cannot be all of their own customer in order to profit in the commissions. Purchasing product solely for the purpose of collecting bonuses and residual is prohibited. A minimum of 50% commissions must come from end consumers, customers that do not belong to MonaVie marketing pay plan, which is hard to do with a true binary comp plan and reps ordering 2 cases a month to qualify for their bonuses. FTC will hit this company hard when they make their rounds on MonaVie.

The Mainstream media will never treat MLM fairly. I have been in the Network Marketing ( Also known as Multi Level Marketing or MLM) Industry or 15 years. There are good and bad companies in every industry. I am not with Monavie and don't know about them to judge them. But they are obviously a very successful company - Jack Bastide - HowToMLM.com

You greedy sales reps all talk the same talk and scheme others into this overpriced juice. I was approached a year ago by a good friend of mine and he gave me a few bottles to try at no cost. I had the worst sleep you could ever imagine and could not stop going to the bathroom. I thought to myself back then as I do today. <<<<<< SNAKE OIL>>>>>> This juice has no standardization to follow and I lost all respect for my friend. He no longer does this business because he felt so bad.

Ok, so they even mentioned in the article, Geoff Bodine, Sumner Redstone, Jon Pappelbon are just a few of the VERY RICH and VERY FAMOUS people who are drinking this for their health not for the money because they don't need the money. I actually have pictures of the whole Boston Redsox team drinking Mona Vie and a picture of director Quentin Tarantino carrying his bottle of Mona Vie (maybe he is taking it to the FDA's office) Are you kidding me!

Obviously Mona Vie is making the news to the point that one of the largest magazines in the world is reporting on it. I LOVE IT!!! MY MONA VIE BUSINESS WILL SOAR NOW, THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT ON THIS AMAZING JUICE!!!

My whole family drinks its and feels the benefits and quite frankly I don't care what anybody thinks, we love it and want to take care of our health and bodies. Newsweek should report on the number of products that our goverment's offices like FDA, USDA etc has approved products that had to be taken back off the market not only because they are bad for you but in some cases actually killed people. Do you really think I care what these offices think about something that is simply 19 all natural, wild , exotic FRUITS PERIOD! What is their to approve...give me a break.

By the way I have personally never told anybody about any health cures, miracles, etc...I DON'T HAVE TO PEOPLE FEEL THE DIFFERENCE THEMSELVES!

Mona Vie is helping under privaledged children in Brazil by providing housing, clothing, medical, and
educational care....THAT IS WORTH AN ARTICLE IN NEWSWEEK ALONE!

I'm very disappointed in what I thought was a worthwhile magazine. Our economy stinks, our gas prices are ridiculous, we are in a war, we owe more money than we are worth, the corruption is running rampid and we are a few shorts months away from a historical election and they actually paid somebody to report on a health juice...go figure why we are in the mess we are in. I'm using Mona Vie to help my health and my finances so I don't have to worry about it.

I want to share Mona Vie with the world but those of you who think it is a scam or a scheme or whatever else please do us all a favor and never ever try this product because the people in my life that I care about and that are drinking this can't stand to be around negative, poor me, closed minded people around us...I will listen to the Sumner Redstone's of the world thank you...he is worth BILLIONS and you are worth what??

Sorry to vent but I just think this whole article was simply such a waste of time BUT my business is very grateful because just from this article I have signed up 5 new people just today.
