MonaVie and J.D. Drew’s Health

this is a joke right? MonaVie does not heal injuries…it’s good nutrition. fruit. do your research idiot

Monavie is food. It is not a drug. Do you see claims on food at the grocery store? For example, if you eat an orange,does it say on the orange that it will make your cold go away?? Monavie is 100% fruit in a bottle. It is this good nutrition that people are fueling their bodies with on a daily basis that is giving people who drink it consistently positive results. Monavie does not claim to prevent, treat, or cure diseases. If you fuel and feed your body on a daily basis with good nutrition, your body is designed to heal itself. If this were a scam there wouldn’t be hundreds of thousands of people drinking Monavie and getting positive results. RESEARCH more.

I hate when Monavie distributors try to persuade people to buy their crap juice. It has been tested against common everyday juices, V8 juices, as well as other juices with “superfood” ingredients and MV fails every time.

you’ll see for yourself how it adds up. I have a bottle of this crap in my fridge it’s going right in the trash. A MV seller tried to get me to sign up, give me a break! Eat properly! A .75cent apple a day adds up to $22.50 a month, opposed to $140 for this processed crap that has NO PROVEN HEALTH BENEFITS! Get a life and stop being so damn lazy, uneducated and manipulative.

Ummm, Drinking MonaVie isn’t the same as eating 13 fruits.

MonaVie also doesn’t necessarily have 1 or 2 billion in revenue either.

maybe you need to read my post again buckos…i never said it was the same as eating 13 fruits…i said the same as 13 servings of fruit(antioxidants) per 4oz(monavie active)…and on the bottle it does state thats its formulated with 19 different fruits…it also says on the bottle made with 100% juice…..so maybe you should go back to skool and learn how to read…have a nice day…

Nothing on the label of MV juice says anything about being 100% or even remotely close to the recommended serving of vitamins and essential minerals people need per day. A multi vitamin has 100% of all essential vitamins and like the above comment says “costs pennies a day!”. Compare the labels of Monavie with the labels of Vemma (a comparable juice with Acai berry and antioxidents at a fraction of the cost for MV):

Vemma: http://vemma.ca/media/vemma-nutrition-supplement-facts.gif

Oh by the way, Vemma has an ORAC value of 109% more than Mona Vie’s ORAC value.
there you go.

You know that there are a lot of 100% grape, cranberry, and blueberry juices out there as well. They cost around $4 a bottle for 32 ounces.

Also V8 Fusion Acai Berry (as well as their Goji Raspberry and Pomegranate Blueberry versions) all are 100% juice as well and retail for around $3 at my local Wal-Mart (for 46oz to MonaVie’s 25oz).

Obviously, it’s not worth paying $40 for the 100% juice on the label, when it comes much cheaper.

I’m very impressed that you actually bought 13 servings of fruit for $17. That’s a good thing since MonaVie HQ Product Specialist Sarah Brown has gone on record as saying:

“By consuming four ounces, you receive the approximate ORAC equivalent of 5 to 13 servings of commonly eaten fruit and vegetables. Please understand this refers to the antioxidant value (ORAC) and not to specific vitamins, minerals or other nutrients your body needs. Different fruits and vegetables have different ORAC values. If you drink 4 ounces of MonaVie it could be comprabale to eating 5 fruits or vegetables with high ORAC values or 13 with lower ORAC vales.”

(See Comment #472 at http://www.lazymanandmoney.com/monaVieArchive.php)

Note that you’ll still have to eat those 13 fruits you bought to get the “specific vitamins, minerals or other nutrients your body needs”. You aren’t replacing your need to eat fruit with MonaVie. So all you did is is up the price of your fruit by adding MonaVie.

It’s also worth noting that MonaVie says 5 to 13 fruits… not 13 fruits. So you are taken the extreme case here. You could have bought 5 which I think is the recommended daily allowance by the RDA anyway.

(These comments and future ones about the 13 fruit discussion will be moved to the appropriate article – http://www.juicescam.com/monavie-13-fruits/ in a few days).

Juicy juice is 100% juice too. There is no getting through to those who WANT to believe in this snake oil. Oh well let them blow their money on it. I dumped mine down the drain after an MV dealer tried to get me to sell it, I tried it but yuck, it doesn’t even taste good. You want to be healthy, live healthy. Exercise and cut out junk food. You will not become healthier simply by drinking some multi level marketing juice. What cracks me up about this juice in addition to all the nonsense is that the dealers were mixing it with vodka and selling it as a martini at my bar. Health drink mixed with vodka? LOL Give me a break. They’ll do nything to sell a bottle.

[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.

Any product sold in this type of scheme is most often driven by recruiting new people and is NOT AT ALL driven by the product. Its a scam that is identical to many others.
As to claims of billions in sales it can not be verified and so are only claims made by folks who know you can not check their facts.
The final proof of this being a scam is the fact that the Acai Berry (that is the basis of all their claims) the amount in each bottle or serving is not provided. Would you buy a car if the seller would not tell you how many horsepower is was?

Your language, needed a lot of cleaning up there THE BOSS.

I don’t know anyone that goes from toilet washing to cooking at a fine restaurant. If you are a toilet washer, they don’t train you to be a waiter or even a chef. If you join MonaVie, you come in at the toilet washer level. If you go to culinary school you can step right in and by-pass being a toilet washer or a waiter. So what degree from what university do I need to just step into MonaVie at a diamond (i.e. chef level)?

Also how come MonaVie has thousands of toilet washers for every chef. What kind of restaurant has one person cooking food and thousands of toilets to wash? None of the restaurants I have seen has this ratio. It has maybe one toilet washer for 5 to 10 chefs.

Good analogy… and remember I’m not being negative, I’m looking to save people thousands of their hard-earned dollars by wasting on a product that doesn’t show it’s value. (And you haven’t helped it show it’s value either.)

So let me get this straight, everyone agrees that it is wrong (whether it is legally wrong, or morally wrong, it is still wrong) to market MV as a drug. There are people that do it, but it doesn’t make it right. Then you get mad when it turns out not to be a medicine? Interesting line of reasoning . . . Also, what’s with this statement:

“For example, Jane mentions “positive results.” You get positive results from medicine, not from food. You don’t eat an apple and have “positive results” from it.”

If food doesn’t provide positive results, then why do we eat? Do your readers a favor and go without food for the next 6 months and tell us about the fact that you have no negative results from doing that. I would LOVE to read your findings.

It’s really funny that you say an apple doesn’t bring “positive results” when every nutritionist I have ever heard of has said that apples are good for you. And so that we don’t confuse anyone too much with the apple things, apples are not in MV. I know you know that and you’re just trying to make a point, but I just wanted to make sure other readers did too.

Apples are the fruit I often use in my antioxidant comparison. Remember, MonaVie brags about it’s high ORAC value and antioxidant equivalent of 5 to 13 servings of COMMONLY eaten fruits/veggies. This statement is only true if the COMMONLY eaten produce are the antioxidant anemic varieties (watermelon, legumes, etc…)

The apple (red delicious variety) beats a days serving (4 oz.) of MonaVie in ORAC 6,413 umoles to 2,698 umoles and total phenolics (polyphenols) 520 mg. to 175 mg.

But, there are many, many more that also top MonaVie: plums, cherries, blueberries, almonds, peanut butter, etc… You can find them in the USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods.

After the antioxidant myth is erased, MonaVie is left with only one sales tool: unverified anecdotes by distributors trying to peddle the stuff.

PLUS, THE #1 EARNER IN ALL NETWORK MARKETING COMPANIES IS BRIG HART! AND HMMM WHAT COMPANY IS HE IN!??!? LET ME SEE.. OH YEAHHH!! MONAVIE!!

HOW ELSE WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO PAY BRIG 600,000 A DAMN MONTH???!!? TELL ME ?!!? AND ALL THE OTHER ROYALS, BLACKS, CROWNS, IN THE COMPANY?

PROOF. RESEARCH ALL YOU WANT ON THIS. THIS IS WHERE ALL THE TOP MLM COMPANIES SHARE THERE INFO AND CAN’T BE LIED ABOUT!

I know what an income disclosure form looks like. I got a team here in cali where i am at and people are making VERY good money doing this business. You won’t believe how old i am making money from this business. My 1st month i already had a totally free business due to the fact that my juice was paid for every month. You can’t go wrong with that. It’s a free business thats going to keep growing and growing. I got a friend who makes a quarter million a year doing it for 10 months! and some silver and gold executives for only 4 to 6 months. What if it took 2-4 years? would anyone be mad with a solid income where you don’t have to trade time for money?? you seem like you know a lot about network marketing so you should know how good the industry is. Now as for monavie, i don’t see how you can think this is a bad business. Were #1 in so many ways. You know a lot about monavie i can tell and it seems like you don’t want to face all the facts and keep saying the numbers and growth are a lie. Get it in your head that it’s a good company with a good product that has helped people physically AND financially so deal with it. Why be against something. How is it going to benefit you? You want to save people some money you say?? let them find out for themselves because i guarantee people will feel something from this beverage. All the older folks i’ve gave bottles too and drink it regularly love it and feel a difference in energy and strength.

Your driving me crazy with all your stupid assumptions man. It’s all depending on the person if they’re willing to do the work and put in the effort! A lot of people have determined there ‘why’ there doing the business yet, they still have fear bundled up inside of them, there not committed and motivated, they’re not following the proven support system and get a couple NO’s and give up. NEVER GIVE UP. Like i said, the VERY 1st month i did this business i made $200 in the second week and i BARELY put any time into this. That 12-1500 a year is an INVESTMENT! thats only pennies to what you can make in the long run! Even $2000 isn’t bad at all for a whole entire year, 12 months to have product to share to people with and see where you business can take you in 12 months. I know people who reach diamond exeuctive in 5 months, 7 months, 10 months, a year. It’s all on the owner whether you want to do work or not. The numbers are just ways to show what people are making.

My team is doing better than me because i have been busy with a lot of other things but i still manage! i still got people committed to help people down there which keeps my residual income going. It’s not easy but then again, it’s simple and not hard if your willing to put in the time. Leave it up to the distributor how hard they want to work the business. What do you have to say about all the other newtork marketing companies?? Either way were #1. We don’t even sell it directly. We basically recommend it only to people and let them know the facts in which they decide they want to do the same thing and promote. Who are you to stop that?

Can anyone provide proof that a bottle of MonaVie juice has the phrase “100% juice” on the label? I have never seen that on any MonaVie bottle I have personally seen. And it is certainly not on the image of the label that’s on Lazy Man’s site here: http://www.lazymanandmoney.com/monavie-scam-was-my-wife-recruited-sell-snake-oil/ – which is where one would expect to see such a claim.
This person: patrick dotson claims in comments # 9 and 11 that the MonaVie label states “100% juice”. I would like to see verifiable proof of such a claim.

It is great to hear all of these “objections” from from the “Anti-MV” people…
The ORAC scale is only 1 of 7 different “measurable” radical assays (stop me if I am getting over your heads, Mr. Anti-MV, Mr. Mona Vie Scam, & Mr. Food Tech, CA {BTW, you don’t even know what is in MV, or you would not have written what you did, above, completely factually wrong i.e. blueberries are in MV}).
You can boost the ORAC scale of any food/beverage by adding Vitamin E to it, which is what many “Mona Vie wannabees” are doing.
You are trying to compare “apples (which ARE also in MV” to oranges (figuratively). None of you naysayers have talked about the phytonutrients in your “Super fruits.” A key factor you are all omitting is the role the vast variety of phytonutrients play in delivering healthful benefits to Mona Vie drinkers.
Furthermore, you don’t mention anything about the HORAC, NORAC, or 4 other measurable antioxidant assays performed on the freeze dried vacuum packed acai used in Mona Vie.
Are you familiar with the clinical studies performed at FSU Medical College in Florida???
Their clinical lab study showed the acai berry used in the MV formula (pattented process) KILLED 86% of the luekemia blood cells in living rats, when compared to the control group of luekemia blood cells in rats not fed the acai juice.
Also, you numbers are wrong on apples and blueberries ORAC scores rating higher than Mona Vie. First of all, both fruits are in Mona Vie (for the phytonutrient variety they contain), along with 17 additional fruits. The patented process we use (in the Amazon jungle) allows us to keep our acai ORAC assays at 10-15 times that of blueberries!!! Apples ORAC value is considerably less than blueberries.
I normally charge for these lessons, but I am tired of you LIBERAL (don’t deny it, you are a bleeding heart, hypocritical, lazy assed, cry baby, “the world’s not fair,” left leaning, loser)! Right?
BTW…i drive a ‘92 Nissan Sentra that gets 38mpg, most of the time when I am by myself. I drive a “gas guzzling” Landcruiser when I go anywhere with my family (for safety reasons).
What do you think of OPRAH Winfrey and her Dr. Oz? How about Rachel Ray, The Doctors Show, Kelly & Regis, The Today Show, (I am sure I have missed some of the programs/people you watch), but ALL of these people consume & promote Mona Vie. They have had it on their program more than once in most cases, and have stated EVERYONE needs to be getting Mona Vie into their diet!
Hope you take some time to do a bit more research before you go throwing up HERE, again.
Hey, Mona Vie might help you with YOUR problem, too.

As much as I wonder about the nutritional value, or lack thereof, in a bottle of MonaVie juice…I have come to seriously ponder the possibility of detrimental effects to a person’s critical thinking, sound reasoning, judgment, and rationalization skills from drinking MonaVie juice. We get the most incoherent rambling comments from distributors.

Kirk, your comment is almost impossible to follow, and is filled with errors.

Distributors like you, making comments like this one you’ve made, are what will get MonaVie shut down quicker than anything else.
Keep posting your inaccurate information online to blogs, you could be responsible for the beginning of the end.

And are you implying that you are a doctor or a member of the medical profession by stating that you “normally charge for these lessons”? If so, methinks you would end up in the poor house, as your information is inaccurate, your research faulty, and your credentials in doubt. Hey…maybe you’re on staff at MonaVie!
Now there’s something that would make sense.
