I believe that the SOURCE of the health claims are traced back directly to the patent application and “Dr.” Schauss. His patent CLAIMS it IS intended to treat diseases!!

Look it up here: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7727564.PN.&OS=PN/7727564&RS=PN/7727564

Patent 7,727,564, Schauss

Excerpt: “4. A method of treating a disease or an injury associated with increased cyclooxygenase enzyme activity in a mammal,…”

and

“7. The method of claim 4, wherein the disease or injury is selected from the group consisting of: cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, vascular disease, arthritis, ulcer, acute respiratory distress syndrome, ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegenerative disorders, autism, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, gastrointestinal disease, tissue injury induced by inflammation, and tissue injury induced by an environmental toxin.”

Of course, I agree 100% that the rot in moneyV starts at the top where the money is!

I seem to recall seeing the words “including humans” when discussing the claimed health benefits in one of the patent applications.

Now if Schauss will just get some independent 3rd party labs to confirm HIS testing AND medical claims, he could prove us all wrong… sounds easy enough.

I certainly wouldn’t be surprised about anything when it comes to Monavie – especially after hearing the Australian Black Diamond, Megan Wolfenden, attribute the improvement of her mother-in-law’s arthritis to Monavie (this bogus testimonial is still on the internet – see link) and Megan even attributed a Malaysian villager’s ability to walk after years of being bedridden to using Monavie for only a week (hard to believe but true!).

We know the corruption starts right at the top – we know people are parroting what they have heard and what they have been told. As part of their training distributors are encouraged to concoct these bogus testimonials – in the attached training booklet, the Australian Black Diamonds encourage distributors to drink the product as soon as possible to get one’s own personal testimony (see point 3):

What’s notably absent is any mention that distributors are to ensure that any claims/testimonials need to comply with company policy and the law and there’s definitely no reference to Monavie’s website concerning the new FTC guidelines (something that all distributors are apparently supposed to know).

We all know that these illegal health claims are paramount to the success of the business and luring more distributors into this atrocious venture – hence the lack of action by the company to stop same.

when ever i was being suckered into this business i was told alote of stuff, about the product, and they didnt say it may, it might, or any of that, but i was told it has been proven that monavie pulse has sientific tests to prove that it loweres your colesteral, and high blood pressure, and you would not believe some of the stories i herd about the claimes that uplines claim. they also say that monavie pulse in united states, is approved by FDA, and it is written on the bottle. when we hear in canada saw the bottle theres nothing on the bottle and also during the seminar one time i went they were talking about of course the product and wgen he tried to say it was approved by the fda and that it was on the bottle and had to say correct him self after doing a good look on the bottle, saying maybe not in canada but in the states its printed on the bottle APPROVED BY THE FDA. thank god i got out of th business.

What’s even more stunning is that Monavie have continued to use the video of Lou Niles as a sales pitch to prospects – I located a webinar of the Australian Black Diamonds who confirm referring people to this video (http://tasteshare.com/2010/05/how-to-introduce-prospects-to-monavie/).

I have also located NUMEROUSs Monavie distributor websites who continue to use this video.

Is this allowed – particularly given the video is in breach of company policy AND the law??

I’d really like to see something done about it.

So, Monavie has known about this for about 2 years, and has not seen it’s way morally or ethically clear to remove themselves from association, perceived or actual, with Lou Niles.
Somehow, not surprising.
