MonaVie Lies about the ORAC score of MonaVie?

Dear Sir, After being in Monavie for some time and having high blood pressure , type 2 diabetes, high chlorestrol, psoriasis, to name a few problems personally I have had . My doctor & I conferred on this and decided to do a complete blood study before taking monavie for a month at 2oz am & 2oz pm to see the results. My blodd pressure with taking 5 different medicenes for BP average about 162-180over 88 to 100 all the time . After on Monavie for a month still taking the pills, it lowered to 132/78 consistantlly now. My wife ’s lowered to 118/72 and is stable. All the while our Cholestrol came down to a near perfect amount overall in the chemical makeup. My Psoriasis is gone completely, we have all kinds of energy and the best thing is we’re getting 5-7 hrs, of sleep every night! When you say this is a scam it is obivious you DON”T have all the true facts. Many , many people are being helped on different levels and now there is proof ( Univ of Fla. ) that Monavie is helping in the attack on cancer cells in the human body. This not hype as the FDA has just released the info. As for the business end of this company, I too was in AMway for many years and rose to a very high level. Amway , though, was structured different as many other companies are. The people that have done well in this co, have done so on their own. My wife & I have done, & continue to do the same and the Good Lord is blessing us each step of the way. I know first hand about self employment after 48 yrs in my own business ( successful too ) This is Not as you protray it sir, but rather a business where anyone no matter the level of income or status can & DO make a better life for they and their families.

Hey Guys,

First off, I agree with the article that MonaVie is bad at telling the truth. I don’t feel I can say yes to the offer of an “in” to the company. On the other hand, University of Florida did publish a report (go to http://news.ufl.edu/2006/01/12/berries/). The Research doesn’t not, however, conclude that MonaVie is a miracle to all mankind. The FDA has conclude that all comments of this kind would also violate the Law (see FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/EnforcementActivitiesbyFDA/CyberLetters/ucm056937.pdf) Anyway The UF research finds that acai (relatively high with antioxidents) does kill some cancer cells, BUT “Other fruits, including grapes, guavas and mangoes, contain antioxidants shown to kill cancer cells in similar studies”. Also the report states ” ‘This was only a cell-culture model and we don’t want to give anyone false hope,’ Talcott said. ”

My question is why the offense can’t get behind a good strong offense? “Monavie Scam” send me an email and I’ll try to get together a research paper for you.

Folks, FDA does not approve or disprove any natural products only pharmaceuticals. This is a known fact. You won’t get any FDA backing on a product that is natural. Now add in some Drugs and the FDA will pay attention. Until then, good luck looking for FDA information.

why does it seem the only ones to comment are obvious monavie corpate people, always trying to tell about a medical condition. I think the thing that is helping them is a positive attitude, which is a good thing at first till you start believing all the hub-bub about it they want you to believe and you end up telling that to everyone you know because you don’t know better, and to lazy to look it up. One of my friends was telling me that monavie has 16 serving’s of fruit and i thought that was impossible……..it sucks when its your friends being brainwashed and they aren’t smart enough to realize it.

No one here is arguing against eating fresh fruit. In fact, I’m recommending it.

The problem is that MonaVie doesn’t give you an easy way to get your fruits in. Their product specialists admitted it here.

MonaVie is not a substitute for eating fruit. And because it is not a substitute, you still have to pay for all the fruit (organic or otherwise) that should be part of a healthy diet.

So if you are drinking MonaVie you are paying double (once for MonaVie and once for the fruits that give you all the nutrition that’s not in MonaVie). That’s what really gets expensive.

Did you read the part where the product specialist says, “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.”?

That means it is NOT a way to get in the variety of fruits that you need. It’s that kind of think that makes people think, “Eh, I had a shot of MonaVie for breakfast, so I don’t need to eat any fruit for awhile” That’s just not healthy thinking.

Have you looked into V8 Fusion? Using your same logic it is a way to get in a variety of fruits as well. And it costs a whole lot less. I’m not some V8 Fusion marketer or anything, but there are a number of examples out there of similar juices.

Just curious, why would anyone want to try MonaVie? What is there to be gained from it? At the very best it’s worse than eating fruit. There’s nothing in MonaVie that can make it equal to eating fruit and from their product specialist it could be a good deal worse.

I didn’t say whether I tried the juice or not. It’s a silly question for 3 reasons:

1) There’s no way to verify whether I’m telling the truth about having tried it or not. It’s like when a distributor claims that they “felt” something while drinking MonaVie. It’s not verifiable evidence so it can’t be considered.

2) It’s an irrelevant question and I proved the point why in the last paragraph of my last comment.

3) Have you tried every product in GNC store? Have you tried every wine in the world or eating a pound of caviar for 30 days straight? The simple fact is that no one person can try everything. There’s just not enough money and time to do it. So instead of trying everything, we use logic to narrow down the number of things out there.

You might want to read being open-minded about MonaVie before you call someone else closed minded.

An open-minded person has curiosity and asks the difficult questions looking for answers. The question I asked in this post is why does it look like MonaVie is lying about the ORAC score of MonaVie and inflating it to look better than it is?

A close-minded person ignores that fact. A close-minded person calls a person who is trying to save people thousands of dollars Mr. Negativity.

I have read both sides of this argument,.debate,. what ever this is, and I can conclude that Mona Vie is a new product that a whole lot of people are talking about. I myself have tried it, and I like it. I have also tried many juices with the Acai berry in it and they were good as well. The great thing about Mona Vie is it is a chance to grow a company and be a part of making the money that goes along with it. Girl guide cookies sure aren’t good for you but people buy them everyday. Why would you want to scare people out of a business that is just helping people have hope to make some money and have a better life for themselves. I wouldn’t scam anyone. I look at the business aspect. It is a juice,. it is a company looking to share the profit of selling the juice. If people want to be a part, why not? A lot of the people putting this down are negative, why? I don’t sell the juice but maybe I will some day. I enjoy it! I know other people who enjoy it as well. Nobody is getting ripped off. If you have the money to buy the juice, good, if you don’t, well then don’t.Testing on most things vary.If someone feels better even with a placebo, is that such a bad thing? Some one is still feeling good rather than bad. These people aren’t making you do anything, yet you are trying to make people do what you want. I myself enjoy positive outlooks, and I think this company just might have what I’m looking for.

Scam,

You amuse me. These are some of the funniest threads I’ve ready in quite awhile.

Can’t believe someone would put so much energy into a debate about a nutritional beverage.

I guess you’ve found your calling. Yikes!

I guess if we don’t waste our time trying to sell fruit punch in a shiney bottle to our friends and family, we would have time on our hands. Maybe you should grab hold of some ethics, and give it a try.

trying to show people how to spend money smart is so positive, you just call it negative cause it doesn’t net monavie dollars you sound like a hypocrite, like saying invest in something not proven especially any thing medical needs special proof one would think and then call someone else negative for saying its a waste of money, i bet if it was non-profit no one would care. but is not and its all about the money for us and you, we say its not a fair price you tell us it is when we ask for proof you start name calling, cause you ain’t got no proof.
