    First and foremost for anyone who starts taking MonaVie and in 2 weeks expects to feel any benefits you are nuts. If you drink a glass of orange juice everyday for 2 weeks do feel it's effects? NO! But you drink it because it is full of vitamins and ANTIOXIDANTS!!!! Now to establish a line of reasoning of the effects we give. We are NOT allowed per MonaVie lawyers to say that it has cured or in any way affected ANY disease. If what you say is true that the 2 distributors used that as a sales technique that is considered wrong and probably punishable by losing their distributorship. We only make personal claims to GENERAL feelings like more energy in the morning(my claim) or maybe less aches and pains associated with working out as I've heard and so forth. MonaVie is a reputable company and if the 70% dropout stat is correct it's because that person assumed this would be easy and having listened to Dallin himself he states many times this is not an easy business but for those who can persist and believe in themselves they have the ability to succeed. Everyone knocks what they don't understand or are unwilling to be open-minded about but make no mistake about it network marketing is the wave of the future and me and my family are riding the wave. :)

    It took me a few weeks before I noticed any difference, and the results were more like an afterthought rather than charting my progress. The thing I noticed when I was out of product for a few days is that I felt worse - old aches and pains and a lack of energy returned.

    As for the business end, yes, there is money to be made, if you want to work it. People are becoming more health conscious, and are spending more money than ever on both preventive and restorative health measures. Yes, we have made money, although we're not millionaires. We simply haven't been out there promoting the business like many others have done.

    Bottom line is this - MonaVie has an excellent product. There are many other acai products out there, but MonaVie has a quality the others DON'T have.

    I don't use Mona Vie, and I don't sell it, but I have seen the results of it. I have two friends who really didn't think it would help but gave it a try to help Rheumatoid Arthritis that they struggled with for years. He has stopped taking all his meds, and she has stopped all but one of hers. Both feel better with Mona Vie than they EVER did taking meds. Even nearer to home, my own father tried four bottles of it over a few weeks due to extreme pain caused from hip injuries and spine degeneration. He had no faith in Mona Vie going into it but said he would just try it and see for himself. He has not fully discontinued his meds, but has cut use by about 75% to 80%. I don't care if it is just a placebo effect or real. I am thankful to see them all off of meds that were very dangerous and drinking fruit juice that can't hurt them and seems to be helping them.

    Tony i would like to know just what exact facts do u base ur articles on ??? And how much research have u really done to justify your words here? judging from what i initially read i dont feel you've done to much in depth research here. Just my honest opinion. And i would like to see what you could come up with re: the pharmaceutical companies .......again in my opinion i think that they are much more of a threat to our state

    MONA VIE IS NOT HYPE IN A BOTTLE.........this was my first attempt to post a response to this somewhat disturbing article and i apologise if parts of it unintentionally got posted repeatedly as it didnt appear in order where i could see it after i posted it. lol ...i'm a newbie to this site..but my response is serious.

    It doesnt take a rocket scientist
    to know that fact!!! those of us who do drink it know our bodies best and the great
    results we personally have after doing so and we can also stand as witnesses to those
    who are close to us and we see for ourselves the true unaldalterated affects they
    experience in their health.

    with over priced and over prescribed pharmasueticals
    that are used to medicate severe to mild side affects of primary medications to treat
    initial conditions and it snowballs from there and that is just so the companies who
    produce them can make an easy buck and ppl more sick than they should be!!!!! thats the
    real scam!!!! and its been going one for ages!!!..........and i feel strongly about this.
    Just ask a well known and respected
    professional on this matter ........KEVIN TRUDEAU...he has thoroughly researched this
    topic ......look him up on the info highway . I'm sure you will find material
    in his research that will back up much of what i've stated . rest assured some of what
    hes written in his books do!!!!

    so in conclusion to my most brief response to this disturbing article ....anyone
    who hasn't tried this first hand is truly not in a position to judge against
    it or any other product for that matter that proves itself to be at the least harmless
    for human
    consumption.
    And u cant base your opinion on the opinions of others alone about anything. what works
    for some doesnt always work for EVERYONE IN THE EXACT SAME WAYS.But as far as this product
    it definitely has nothing but benefits for those of us who experience stress to
    our bodies in one way or another.

    I could also confidently say that a good part of the population is overmedicated
    with over priced and over prescribed pharmasueticals

    HOW can anyone call anything that is created purely from nature itself a scam??????!!!
    ....i might also like to suggest that u actually try this product for yourself
    THEN make honest judgement (s ) In fact i urge you to..it is not a cult fallowing
    or anything of the like and no false claims are being made. Although the affects
    on the human body are real NO ONE claims it to be a cure for anything...but
    it is a potentially great preventative tool for the human body and the pollutants
    we are exposed to on a daily basis in our culture. It doesnt take a rocket scientist

    People on these bogs are fond of saying that the current economic meltdown was caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting bad mortgages. While Fannie and Freddie obviously are guilty of writing bad mortgages, and worse, guilty of lobbying Congress to allow them to do so with impunity, their actions are just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to determining who (or what) caused the financial crisis we face today.

    In 1929 the stock market crash caused the banks to fail, because the banks were in bed with the stock market. Back then, banks owned investment houses, so when the stock market fell, the banks fell too. This triggered the Great Depression. So in 1933 the Congress wrote laws that regulated banking, making it illegal for banks to own investment companies, mortgage guaranty companies or insurance companies. The idea was to keep key industries separated by a fire wall, so that if one industry failed the whole economy would not go down in flames.

    But the Republicans under Bush deregulated the banking industry. Senator Phil Gramm wrote legislation (the Gramm Rudman Act, the Gramm Leach Biley Act, etc.) that stripped away the regulations in the financial and insurance industies. He pushed them through the Republican Congress and they were signed into law by Geo. W. Bush. John McCain voted in favor. Everybody said how great it is to deregulate and create free markets.

    Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch each gave over a million dollars to Senator Gramm's re-election campaign.

    The economic collapse that happened later was a direct result of the deregulation, and here's how: the banks wrote bad mortgages, then bundled the mortgages into investment vehicles that they sold all over the world, and they even got firms like AIG to insure the investments. It was all a house of cards.

    If there had been no deregulation, sure we would have had a bunch of bad mortgages, and the mortgage guaranty and real estate industries would have suffered, but there would not have been a global financial meltdown, since the problem would have been contained in one sector of the economy. You can thank Geo W. Bush, Sen. Phil Gramm and Sen John McCain for the meltdown, since they were strong proponents of deregulation.

    Furthermore, although Fannie and Freddie are now holding the bulk of these bad mortgages, Fannie and Freddie did not originally write most of these mortgages. They bought them after the fact, bundled by banks/investment companies. Fannie and Freddie got screwed by the Wall Street fat cats. And so did you, if you pay taxes.

    What is Phil Gramm doing today? He works as a lobbyist in Washington, trying to make it legal for the Swiss bank he represents to sell Death Bonds in the United States. Nice guy, Phil Gramm. Incidentally, John McCain has said that he wants to appoint Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary. Some people just can't learn from their mistakes.

    After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:

    I have been drinking the GREAT product Mona Vie for almost 2 months now. I have been a waitress for almost 20 years, beating my feet on the pavement almost daily. This takes a toll on your joints and health. I also have a sleeping disorder which wakes me up to 10 times a night. I used to sleep with foot braces on, and take sleeping pills, plus a slew of OTC pain remidies for my joints. I can only tell you from personal experience, I no longer have shooting pains in my feet, and my knees feel like they did 10 yerars ago! I no longer take sleeping pills to sleep at night, and get up no more than 2 times a night! Is it Mona Vie that should take the spotlight for my feeling better? I think so. Is it costly?...All I can say is it costs less than one Value Meal daily at Mc Donalds. Or less than one double shot Mocha Latte at Starbucks! So my question is this....Does it make more sense to spend money on your good health, or would you rather get that QAURTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE VALUE MEAL (AND SUPER SIZE ME PLEASE!)? Please feel free to contact me, (not with hate mail please, I would not do that to you)or find out more about Mona Vie. www.the-team.biz/MV1492414
    GOD BLESS AND GOOD HEALTH AND LUCK TO ALL!

    I have tried this product too because a friend gave a case for free. I will say, as a physician, that it tastes good ice cold and "does no harm". Where have I heard that before? Anyway, due to its ingredients it does have a couple antioxidants in it which will help anyone who wants to have a healthier diet. Aside from that, there are no "amazing curative properties" in this stuff. It tastes good with a beef dinner, though.

    From Poldoc: I have tried this stuff too and the only reason I drink it is because I get it free and it tastes good when it is ice cold. I does have some anti-oxidant properties just because of the ingredients but that is about all the befefits one will get from it. I believe it "does no harm" ....where have I heard that before?....but at the same time has no "amazing medicinal value". It tastes good with beef.

    My husband & I have been drinking Mona Vie for 6 weeks now. We are in our late 50's, with arthritis and other aging problems. We got results right away and they only continues to get better. I have had Lupus for years. Now I have the energy from back in my 20's. My husband's hands twisted from arthritis, changed right before our eyes. We know a great thing when we see it. Baby Boomers everywhere give it a try. What do you have to loose, except for aches & pains. This is the Real Deal............ jth123@earthlink.net.

    I've talked (and trained) thousands of at associates from all different types of network marketing companies.

    But ihear more 1st person testimonials from Mona Vie distributors then any other mlm program.

    The problem is that they have no clue how to promote it without pestering their friends or family members.

    If you are a monavie distributor and want to learn how to add 5, 10, 20, even 30 new distributors into your downline a week;

    Head to: www.100kMLM.com/monavie

    To learn how you van add more recuits a week then your upline adds all month.

      As a contract marketing consultant providing event support for a large group of successful MonaVie distributors, I confess that I was skeptical about the product and earnings claims made by distributors. But after three months of hanging around events and speaking to distributors at all levels (I was so ubiquitous at these happenings that they assumed I was one of the local inner circle), I am convinced that this is the real thing. I signed up four days ago.
      And from what I can tell, success is predicated not only on each person???s persistence but on the support provided by their mentors/sponsors, and by the sales system they subscribe to. Black Diamond University has helped the fastest growing MonaVie organizations reach Diamond level organically, thatis to say, the leader did not bring his existing organization over from another company. That???s impressive. http://blackdiamonduniversity.com
