    It is disturbing when a major publication allows such a biased opinion to be published unchallenged. The author was clearly looking for ways to discredit MonaVie and justify his pre-conceived ideas about Network Marketing. Surprisingly, he displays very little knowledge of both. There are good and bad MLM companies, as there are good and bad magazines out there. One bad magazine does not discredit all good magazines, does it? Is it possible that MonaVie has achieved the Billion-Dollar mark in 3 years BECAUSE it works so well for so many ??? the majority of which are just consumers and love the product, having nothing to do with its business aspect? There will always be voices of complain and they should be heard. However, is it fair to imply that thousands and thousands of people are lying and scamming their friends and family members because one guy in your office didn???t experience ???the drink's miraculous benefits??? after drinking MonaVie for 2 weeks? What kind of scientific reporting is this? The derogatory wording in your article tells a lot about your lack of objectivity, Mr. Dokoupil. Newsweek and its readers deserve better than that.

    Headaches are a common experience when your body is Detoxifying. Too bad the reporter didn't stay on the juice long enough to let his body finish healing. We often suggest people drink a lot of water when starting on the product to flush the toxins from the body.

    Diane and Sherry want everyone to feel the benifits they feel drinking Monavie. Diane and her husband Matt are awesome people if you know their whole story. They have 2 autistic children and have tried everything to help them. This is the best thing that they have found. To bad the reporter can not report the whole story. Parents with sick children are tied of giving our children DRUGS. This country is being taken over by the drug industry too bad for all of us. This is an all natural organic product with fruits all of us need.

    I am all for better nutrition, and I have seen WITH MY OWN EYES people feeling better from this juice. It's not claiming to cure anything. It's sensible, convenient nutrition. I would much prefer opening a bottle out of the fridge and drinking this in 2 minutes, than spending hours buying, washing, cutting and squeezing/juicing the liquid from fruits and veggies, then scrubbing all the equipment and juice-machine parts. People will always have their opinions. That's to be expected. Just remember that those slinging mud are the ones losing the most ground.
    If you don't like the marketing methods, don't buy it. If you don't like the taste or the 'claims' or the people selling it, don't buy it. Use your energy doing something good, and leave us to our juice. You are getting 'riled up' because we drink juice. Think about that. How small is your world, that this is worth your time and energy to argue? Go do what you'd like with your body, and we will happily drink ourselves into financial oblivion without you. Wish you well!

    To all the distributors out there, don't let no one take your dreams, the same people that give themselves excuses to not do the business or drink fruits, carry that attitude for everything else. Cowardice and conformity is the easy way out to a smooth long ride to nowhere, while living a dull, boring, mediocre and unfulfilling life (whether they have money or not), AND DEPENDING ON THEIR JOB AND GOVERNMENT to take care of them way later. Sadly this is the way most people live, therefore the few others profit and make their wealth by feeding the cattle with GARBAGE they wanna buy, watch, or read about... AND NOT WHAT THEY NEED. These kind of people waist money on fast foods, alcohol, 5 dollar coffee, 300 dollar jeans, and feast on negative media and garbage TV shows, making all of these industries wealthy, but when it comes down to their health they want a quick fix and won't take it if it has a business opportunity behind it. If this sounds like someone you know, stay away from these dream stealers and HUNTERS_602000. They are found in all social classes and just wanna bring you down to their pathetic level. TO ALL MY TEAMPLAYERS GET JACK ON THE JUICE AND GET'ER DONE!

    if it made you move your bowels it's a good thing. it has prunes and other fruits that along with fiber and digestive enzimes will help cleanse your constipated a**, HUNTER602000. The first time I drank half a bottle and it happened to me. But since I'm EDUCATED in the field of nutricion, I expected it just like the colon cleansers i have taken in the past (cleansers and fruits are NOT the same as laxatives). so be thankful. I lost 6 pounds of accumulated fieces in less than two months of drinking the juice. You haters can go buy all these fruits daily and see how much it'll run ya. About the business, the drop out rates are not nearly as bad as the 9 out of 10 ratio of businesses that fail (and of that 10%, the 90% that fail in the first 5 to 10 yres) . but then again this article, like most out there, are written by EMPLOYEES, for CONSUMERS.

    I dink Monavie. I LOVE it! I went one week on and then one week off and I could personally tell the difference.
    Since The Acai berry is consider to be one of or the BEST Super Foods in the World..Along with the 18 forgotten fruits..There is much to be said for the product. I for one would NOT want to be without it. My household drinks it regularly. My child loves it! It good and healthy for all of us...Why do people have to make a mockery of a perfectly Great Product ! It's beyond my comprehension.. Don't they have something better to do with their time than to put this down??? I sure do!

    LoriR, I LOVE Mona Vie.I love the way it makes me feel..I think it's the best product on the market for health benefits. The Scai berry has been said to be the Best Super Food in the World with 18 other fabulous forgotten furits. The processing of the product goes fair beyond any other product. There is no comparison.Why do people have to put down a good thing? Try it for yourself....

    I personally drink Monavie, and so does my wife. I give it to my in-laws and my mom and dad as well. The truth is that I feel better when I'm drinking it regularly which by the way I have been since May of 2007. I haven't stopped and don't intend too. For me it's more about the drink than the money.
