Oh, and we weren’t drinking red wine, either :-p

I especially am confounded that distributors will not abide to MonaVie’s Policies and Procedures. Hint: it wasn’t written for fun. You are violating a contract by disobeying them and you will NEVER achieve success even if you sponsor a thousand people. If we so much as tell MonaVie corporate that a high-paying distributor is violating his distributor contract, MonaVie can terminate that distributor and not pay him a cent. Oh, they keep all the customers though. How does it make you feel that you spent a lot of time and effort (and money!) just to be shot down because you didn’t want to read the damn thing you signed?? READ IT. Don’t you think about coming back to this site til you READ IT.

It’s really not our problem if you guys don’t want to read and abide by the Policies you agreed to abide by. But don’t say we warned you.

Krzysztof Mazurek also states “If someone experiences improvement, even if it is just a placebo effect – let him buy and consume it, he or she is a grownup. It is their money, I am pretty positive you would not like anyone to tell you what you must or must not spend money on. Besides, it is not as if anyone is forcing the consumer to buy MonaVie products. Its all a personal choice.”

Krzysztof – perhaps you should consider what a placebo effect is and why this can occur…

“A placebo is a sham or simulated medical intervention that can produce a placebo effect. In medical research, placebos depend on the use of controlled and measured deception. Common placebos are inert tablets, sham surgery, and other procedures based on false information. In one common placebo procedure, a patient is given an inert pill, told that it may improve his/her condition, but not told that it is in fact inert. Such an intervention may cause the patient to believe the treatment will change his/her condition; and this belief may produce a subjective perception of a therapeutic effect, causing the patient to feel their condition has improved. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect.”

Every Monavie training seminar I have attended with my friend included the use of distributor’s personal “testimonials” whereby they attributed the use of Monavie to improvement of various conditions such as lowering blood pressure, improvement of auto-immune disorders, improving skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, improving quality of sleep and more.

Taking into consideration the concept of a placebo effect and taking into consideration that Monavie’s own literature confirms that Monavie does not treat, cure or improve the symptoms of any disease or condition, is it not reasonable to conclude that IF people are experiencing a placebo effect it’s probably due to hearing testimonials similar to those as I’ve just described – claims which are not only medically unfounded, against company policy but also ILLEGAL?

Furthermore, is it also not reasonable to conclude that these medically unfounded, bogus claims (which are in breach of company policy and the law) have also served to trick consumers into handing over hard earned money for a product which they may well NOT have had the true value been represented in the first instance?

I find your complacency regarding FRAUD far more offensive.

Your ludicrous comment whereby you suggest that drinking a highly processed, nutritionally void fruit juice is better than a scientifically proven shot confirms Lazyman’s statement that my estimate of a distributor’s IQ being 22.81 was too generous in any event.

My bad, Lazyman.

I see what you are saying about Aussie’s IQ comments. It’s offensive to think that anyone associated with MonaVie has an IQ over 15, much less get to 22.

The Coca-Cola argument has already been discussed. See MonaVie, Secret Formulas, and Coca-Cola. It is not a similar thing to MonaVie.

I’m fine if people choose to buy MonaVie as long they have the facts. How many people bought MonaVie because Mitch Biggs lied to them and said that it help against Swine Flu? Remove all these illegal and false claims and put it on the store shelf and let’s see how it sells. Consumers will still have the option of buying the product.

MonaVie indeed tried to make some money off the supposed pandemic, I agree. But hey, drinking juice is definitely better than taking a shot which what you are not even sure is composed of.

And by the way, I do not sell nor buy the product. Just my personal view on the “battle”.

Personally I do not think people buying MonaVie products is a bad thing. If they feel better – why would you take it away from them? As grownups they can make their own choice whether they buy the juice or not. The Coca-cola company sells a product that is not healthy by any means, yet the commercials depict people becoming all happy after taking a sip. You know it does not do you any good, yet you drink it. They do not provide any negative details about unhealthy components of the beverage in their commercials or marketing campaign. Take aspartame for example.

Similar thing with MonaVie. If someone experiences improvement, even if it is just a placebo effect – let him buy and consume it, he or she is a grownup. It is their money, I am pretty positive you would not like anyone to tell you what you must or must not spend money on. Besides, it is not as if anyone is forcing the consumer to buy MonaVie products. Its all a personal choice.

And as far as the vaccines are concerned I shall not even comment, WHO just made a big fuss about it and someone made a lot of money. Let us look little bit more critically on everything.

My daughter is only a teenager and she could explain in basic terms how vaccines work and why!

Not only is the ORAC score of Monavie extremely low (22.81 to be precise, as confirmed by Monavie’s own Dr Alexander Schauss), not only does Monavie contain low levels of phenolics (once again, as confirmed by Dr Schauss), but it appears that the IQ of Monavie’s own sales force (as demonstrated by Steve D) is in the vicinity of around 22.81 also!

I’m torn between laughing at the absurdity of Steve D’s comment and feeling bad that Monavie are taking advantage of people who are clearly farking clueless.

By your logic above, do you really think that MonaVie (or any other antioxidant you choose) is going to help you against HIV? What kind of logic are you using?
