Great posts from all of You Mona Vie has proven to be a great product and a great company, no doubt, what would you say if Mona Vie also had a 'high end protein powder" weight loss product, just think where that would take this company, given the fact that 67% of America is now obese, I agree that MV will help in some weight loss but we are talking about people that have serious weight to lose. Let me know your thoughts!!!

I have discovered a way to make Black Diamond in less than 4 months, you only need to sign up less than 12 distributors and it should never cost you more than $250 total. It is rumored that Kelly Bangart did it this way and I only know of less than 6 people other than myself who are promoting it in this manner.

You know? It is really unfortunate that people feel the need to rip on others. Try the juice.. if you don't like it then move on. There are plenty of people who have tried it and really are feeling better - and in some cases, miraculous. YES MIRACULOUS! When you think about the suffering that chemo therapy and radiation cause, it is a miracle that a juice, of all things, can ease the suffering for someone who is fighting for their life! What if that person was your loved one?
As for the business? Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. But I applaud everyone who tries. If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. MOVE ON! Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for everyone.
And I would much rather work for myself through an MLM than a traditional company. We have, for too long, placed unwarranted trust in the companies we work for. We think that because we are sincere in our efforts to be good employees, that our employer is just as sincere in looking out for us as our employer. But the truth is the company doesn't care how long you have been there.. or what you have sacrificed.. or that the 401K you have through them is all you have to retire on. All they care about is how much are you going to cost them. When push comes to shove you are out the door with absolutely no control in the matter at all. Your education won't matter, your hard work and sacrificing won't matter.. And, depending on where you live, they don't have to have a reason to hand you your pink slip.
When you are working for yourself through the structure of a good MLM business, you have all the control in your own hands and lots of people to help you. They want to help because helping you helps them. It's a great business model but, as I said before, it's not for everyone. You have to be ok with the ambiguity - the ups and downs of business that are just normal for all business owners. You have to be a self-starter - the responsibilities are all on you and some people don't realize that can really be a load.
So - if you are one of those people, that's ok. It's good to learn that about yourself. But that does not give you the right to lash out at a company that is providing an excellent product to better the lives of so many people and give charitably as they go. MonaVie's M.O.R.E. project is amazing.
For me, MonaVie has been the gateway to some great discoveries about health and wellness. I may not get wealthy, but the wealth of information discovered through MonaVie and people I network with is priceless and has opened new doors of opportunity.
thanks for listening..

Sorry I accidentally didn't sign my name on my last post.
I've tried to find something positive about monavie but I can't find anything except that it's too expensive for juice the company ceo is a crook and nobody except for monavie is making any money. My local emerald made only $250 in commissions last week and he has over in his lesser leg.
This is why I've come to the conclusion that monavie sux.

I believe in the product so much, because when I first taste the active green one, I felt something very wierd in my spine like spirer where crawling it and a hot feeling on it, the same happend the 2nd and 3rd time I tasted; so then I decided to drink it for my health. I been feeling much better Isuffer from a very cronic fibromyalgia a syndrome nerve pain, Iam 24/7 in pain, but thanks to Monavie I could funtion much better, before I have my right side not able to brush my teeth or slice a bread, open a bottle or cut onions or hand whash something but after the drinking 8 botles of monvavie one day I realized I did not have my pain in my right arm anymore, and that I was able to do all the things I could'nt before. I have a lot to talk about Monavie, my Moms' diabetic have improved better, and my nepwe that at 18 month of age was foung with leukemia and was practically living in the hospita and had blood and plaquetes transfusion have'nt been admited since he start drinking the original purple monavie. I could say a lot about it, but I have to go and I just find this page by accident. I know is spensive but it is worth it, because health does not have price. Thanks Mmonavie founder.

James Lazarenko - maybe you should look into this company a bit more.
The founder of Youth Juice is Bob Edwards and his cv is quite shocking.
In 1990, a company Bob created (Fund America Inc) was declared an illegal pyramid scheme and good old Bob who’d stole 33 million from the people who’d invested into this scam escaped to Canada when the US General Attorney’s office shut them down for good. Bob Edwards was barred from ever conducting business of any kind in the USA.
Bob is now operating a Vancouver based company called 'Our World Network' - a company with a series of MLM schemes affiliated with it, including Youth Juice.
One of these schemes (Sleepes) sold a sleeping aid which instead of containing natural ingredients as advertised, contained the narcotic Estazolam which is a highly addictive and dangerous drug with sedative effects. Although initially denying responsibility, the company eventually claimed the use of the drug was accidental and was also sued the misrepresentation of Doctors and other experts in the field.
Monavie with its own Dallin Larceny - who was a company executive of Dynamic Essentials which was shut down by the FDA as a result of making fraudulent health claims about his last juice Royal Tongan Limu (this juice was virtually identical to Monavie!).
What are you people thinking getting in bed with these crooks??!!

I started drinking Monavie about 6 months ago. A friend was a distributor and was buying it directly from him. I was not completely happy with the drink. What I was really looking for, was a natural vitamin supplement with the power of natures vital nutrients behind it.

It’s made of 7 whole organic berries and 3 sea vegetables. The ORAC score is off the charts at 156.250 per bottle, Check out this scientific report on Youth Juice at: checkthescience.com

As for Clearwater mom's statements, she’s right in her statement that Monavie don’t pay on just marketing, shipping from one distribution centre and wholesaler and then, hopefully, on to the final point of purchase.
Rather than mark up occurring between 5 or 6 middlemen as is the case in businesses such as Wal Mart, Monavie's fat compensation plan pays in the vicinity of hundreds and thousands of levels up the line in commissions!!!! And of course they don't need to pay for marketing - Monavie distributors market the product free of charge and in fact, at their own expense!!!
Speaking of 50% commissions paid, are you even aware that over 1/2 of the total commissions paid went to less than 3% of the entire sales force last year and that the remaining 97 % of distributors earned commissions of less than $40 per week??!! Did you know that 87% of the sales force earned zero??!! Nope, didn’t think you did.
All of this explains precisely why you suckers are paying approximately $40 per bottle for FRUIT JUICE as opposed to $3 or $4 a bottle for anything comparable on the market!! Its crooks like Mr Larceny who are laughing all the way to the bank – at your expense!!

Tony, I refer you to the Monavie website which provides 5 tips which every distributor NEEDS to know and which states -
"...MonaVie distributors who provide testimonials online AND offline must be truthful AND be subject to typical results. If you are a distributor and want to share your story or testimonial anywhere, first ask yourself if the results can be typical? Thus testimonials about MonaVie products or money making opportunities must conform to MonaVie approved statements...The advertiser must have adequate substantiation for any experience described by the endorser, i.e- typical results. Gone are the days of simply posting “results may vary”...any such opinion posted online or said offline would be in violation of the current guidelines, unless there is valid research to support the claim."
monaviemediacenter.com/blogs/5-tips-every-monavie-distributor-needs-to-know-about-the-new-ftc-guidelines/
The health claims Monavie distributors are and aren't allowed to list are further detailed on the below link:
monavieuniversity.zaah.net/?s=fruit+juice+products
You will see that distributors are NOT allowed to make unauthorised claims which use terms or phrases that suggest the product can prevent, mitigate, diagnose, treat or cure a disease.
Of note is the FDA already issued warning to Monavie/a high level distributor in 2007 to stop promoting Monavie as having therapeutic properties or having the ability to treat, cure or prevent disease ( www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/EnforcementActivitiesbyFDA/CyberLetters/ucm056937.pdf).
Looks like this pattern of behaviour is continuing taking into consideration - April attributes the use of this fruit juice to improved sleeping patterns for which she no longer requires medication and improved symptoms of migraine. These statements are in GROSS violation of Monavie's own company policy and ILLEGAL according to FDA guidelines. Needless to say, I've reported April the idiot to both the FDA and FTC also.
If you look in the mirror, Tony, you'll see that the idiot is looking straight back at you. Your iodiocy is just as impressive as April's.

Katrina - April has not made any ILLEGAL claims about anything, she has just told her experience with the product, which is totally legal. She did not claim the product did anything she plainly explained her situation. I guess someone needs to explain what making a claim means because you don't seem to understand. An ILLEGAL claim would be telling someone that the product is going to do something for them or that the product can cure or prevent some illness. April did no such thing. So if someone is making false claims it is you, when you claimed that April was making false claims. So who sounds like an idiot now?

Just wanted to say that I have become a distributor just in the last few months and I am really enjoying it. I already have a growing team in the San Diego area as well as Melbourne, Fl. My Royal Black Diamond that has been helping all of us is Brenda Prudhomme and she goes the extra mile to help out her team. She actually just went to Florida for a team we have set up.

April - I have reported you to the FDA for the ILLEGAL claims you have made. You are also in breach of your distributor agreement. Your idiocy is astounding.
Clearwater mom - it's probably best to stick to parenting. You have no idea about business, your ignorant statements are evidence of that. Perhaps running the business model by a professional - such as an attorney or financial adviser would be more appropriate than leaving the decision in your incapable hands.

And if I hear one more of you Distributors use religion or God in same breath as this Monavie pyramid scam and your desire to bring in the bucks by exploiting relationships around you while you peddle this snakeoil, I think I'm going to PUKE.
Adam - the IDS confirms that there's pretty much little to no chance that you're making a "nett" profit of $100 per week. That is - less the cost of autoship, phone, petrol, tax, tools, training material, the costs of attending seminars. Monavie distributors aren't known for their business sense by any stretch of their most VIVID imaginations (and vivid they are!).
The lengths people will stoop when it comes to greed never ceases to amaze.

i am a stay at home mom and i have alot of anxiety or i used to and i had a hard time sleeping so i was given different medicines to help me sleep but all of them make me groggy the next day. i started getting bad headaches everyday from not sleeping and some were migraines so that made me take other meds that would also make me sleepy. when you have a toddler and 5 animals in the house being sleepy or in pain during the day is not an option. my dad started selling and using monavie along with my mom and my sister and some other family and friends and they all raved about it so i decided to try it. within a month i would lay down and go to sleep naturally without meds and my headaches faded. i finally felt like a human. no more dragging during the day praying for naptime, no more pill popping. finally everything is back in balance. i have since become a distributor and even though i cant guarentee the same results for everyone i can guarentee you will notice a difference and be happy with this juice. we also have energy drinks that last that will keep you going while feeling great and also being healthy without a crash. i want to do a tasting party but i dont know many people but if there is anyone interested that is in savannah or the surrounding areas let me know at april.summerville@gmail.com. take a chance at feeling great and living healthy.

Blogs are so interesting.
My husband and I are small business owners with up to 42 employees. I can only say that Mona Vie is as professional an organization as it comes. Unfortunately, as in any company, you can get "employees" or "distributors" who do not possess the same level of ethics and standards that then reflect poorly on the product or company. Do not let this happen to you. If you are dissatisfied with any practice related to a Mona Vie distributor or sponsor, find another. As for adding to the cost of the product by offering it through direct marketing, you are fooling yourself if you don't believe you are paying a higher percentage mark-up for your products purchased anywhere else - Wal Mart, supermarkets, and certainly pharmacies. Additionally, any decent sponsor can help you get your juice for free within a week to a month. WalMart has yet to offer me that help with what I purchase from them. All companies need to charge to stay in business. Mona Vie elected to pay 50% - that's right, 50% - of their earnings out to distributors rather than paying for all the middle men - high priced marketing, shipping from one distribution center and wholesaler and then, hopefully, on to the final point of purchase. Department stores mark their merchandise up at least 300%, I have been told by buyers. How do you think they can have sales of up to 75% and stay in business?
That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I try to not allow, however, the actions of one taint me against an entity as a whole.
Mona Vie is definitely not a pyramid. However, I can tell you that any company you work for, certainly is. No one will ever make more than the CEO, who is on top. I, however, already make more than the person that sponsored me into Mona Vie. You should really check it out before you judge. The government has, and Mona Vie passes with flying colors and provides an Income Disclosure Statement as mandated by law. Direct marketing is not for everyone, but that doesn't make it illegal or a sham. Someone who buys a stock and makes a serious profit in a week or even a day is not putting any "hard work" into that, but it's still legit and it's still the American way.
Mona Vie is a phenomenal product and a fantastic company. Just ask Fortune Magazine and Ernst & Young. They don't support scams and pyramids.

As a "health food nut" you should look at more of what you drink. Look on a bottle of V8 juice. nobody is lying, you're just not looking very well. just so you know
From a legal standpoint, the federal regs define it as follows:
"The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.

Tell the Truth!!!
I'm a 'health nut' and have been looking for the "best health juice"on the market.I was just about to sign up under my cousin,when I looked on the bottle and discovered that Monavie contains "natural flavor".There is NOTHING natural about Natural Flavor.It contains 'excitotoxins'that LITERALLY STIMULATES YOUR BRAIN TO DEATH!!! Don't know if you as a company disclose this fact...but my cousin knew NOTHING about that.In fact he said this juice is 'ALL NATURAL?" You may wanna educate your employees...I don't know how comfortable they'll be to know they're LYING to people!!!

Hay Dave,
Obviously you have never understood the concept of free enterprise, and never had your own business. MonaVie distributors Do work hard, and are paid very well to spread the word. If you can not handle someone going out and trying to make a living, Go wait for a handout. You don't qualify for this business anyway.

Monavie is the real deal!!! It eliminates joint pain for people who suffer from all forms of arthritis. It has changed the lives of several friends and family members. My 24 year old daughter has suffered from sporadic arthritis for over 10 years. Monavie active has eliminated all the symptoms that comes with this disease. The scientists who discovered this product should be compared with the ones who discovered penicillin. The only problem with Monavie is the way the company markets this wonderfull product. Many so called distributors have become very rich just by signing up other distributors who sign up other distributors that forms a PYRAMID where the top distributors profit the most. All this does is increase the cost of the product for the end user. Unfortunately, many people who suffer from ailments that Monavie can help will never be able to afford the product. The fact is there are to many money grubbing individuals who hide under the name distributor. They smile and try to comvince you that they promote the product to help people . I would bet that 99% of them would not do this without receiving a profit. Shame on you Monavie, for marketing your product this way. Get rid of these money grubbing distributors who don't have a clue what it means to really earn their money. Could you imagine if penicillin were marketed the way you do your product?? To those who suffer from joint pain, buy Monavie on EBAY. The Ebay sellers make a very small profit. You can buy a single case on Ebay for far less then Monavie sells a single case to one of their distributors. I hope the site owner approves this article. If the owner is a employee of Monavie, or a money grubbing distributor. I will have to find another blog. Hopefully this will not be the case.

REENfriend ( Pete Moss ),
FT made fun of Bobby J's intelligence level in that post. He wasn't lying about anything.
Here it is:
BJ wrote: "You're fooling nobody here but yourself. Give it up. We already know you're a loser and you keep proving that fact, over and over again with your bull crap."
**I concede defeat, BJ. It's obvious that I'm not at your intellectual level. Your factual citations have beaten me.
I'm no longer going to post here on MONAVIE LEMMINGS SPEAK!
I will crawl back over to the MONAVIE HORROR website. There I will be able to communicate with people closer to my intellectual level.

REENfriend (Pete Moss), I believe this is the comment you were referring to:
"Noni has more nutrition than monavie and tastes better too. Noni also has 48 fruits in it and monavie only has 4. I am a food technician and I tested both juices in my laboratory. In fact, I am typing this from my laboratory right now. OH, excuse me. I will be right back. I have to flush my toilet."
**That was from Dec. 10. 2008, and it wasn't written by me. It was written by someone else (probably BJ) who used my name.
My background is of no particular use to this discussion. I merely point out two easily referenced studies, and let the readers decide for themselves.
Pete, you never answered the question on PH that was asked of you (though you think you did)
Are Dr. Schauss (AIBMR) and the USDA both credible sources for nutritional information? Yes or no? If not, why not?
Now, folks, watch as Pete finds a way to avoid the question.

Reen, I notice Food Tech is what you say he is, a liar and a fake. I see that he does lie quite a bit. Here is one for you: "I'm no longer going to post here on MONAVIE LEMMINGS SPEAK!" it was posted over a year ago. What a liar.
"I will crawl back over to the MONAVIE HORROR website. There I will be able to communicate with people closer to my intellectual level. Reen, do you want to bet ??? His intellectual level? I guess you are at the same level, you are over there too. What happened? He came back they must not have been at his level. another lie.
He never stops to amaze us. He quotes "I'm a food scientist with thirty years in the industry. But yet we find no proof of his background. "I've done a lot of work in the fruit beverage sector." From what I found of his postings it was only 5 years. And it was with Hawaiian Punch. It leaves twenty-five years of what?
And of that he posted "I am a food technician [a mechanic is a technician too, but not a scientist] and I tested both juices in my laboratory" Well, it surprised me, he doesn't own a lab according to what you have said, therefore he must be doing his research on company time. He lies to the company he works for too. Shame on him and he said he has ethics.
Reen, he said all these things, every word. Now watch how the weasel runs down the hole. Look out were Food Tech goes his sidekick will show up every time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Anonymous (Pete Moss) wrote: " Without thinking you say oh my gosh, it's more then Monavie. See he fooled you, not only with grams instead of ounces. 150 gms equal 5.3 ounces."
**Because apples are a dry weight item. The average being 150 gms. I discussing the consumption of one single fruit (one apple) in comparison to 4 ounces (fluid) of MonaVie. The bottom line being the total ORAC score and total amount of polyphenols.
He writes: "Also from (USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods) concord grape juice TE/100 gm 2377 umoles. Maybe Mr. Food Tech could do the math, 113.5 grams equal 4.00359 ozs."
**First, you need to know that 29.57 mls. equals one FLUID ounce. 28.35 grams equals one DRY ounce. MonaVie is measured in fluid ounces or in mls. One ml. of MonaVie weighs more than a gram, so the edge in weight goes to MonaVie, not the grape juice.
In other words, if Dr. Schauss had weighed the MonaVie instead of measuring it, the ORAC would be even lower than the 22.81 umoles.
The USDA correctly, weighed each substance tested.
Thank you for bringing up the point that MonaVie's ORAC value is inflated.
So, again. If you ate ONE single apple (red delicious variety) you would consume an ORAC value of 6,413 umoles and 520 mg. of polyphenols.
4 ounces of MonaVie would give you an ORAC value of 2,698 umoles and 175 mg. of polyphenols.
Here's the proper math: MonaVie - 22.81 umoles times 4 ounces times 29.57 mls. (mls in a fluid ounce) equals 2,698 umoles total ORAC.
1.48 (mg. of polyphenols per ml.)times 4 ounces times 29.57 mls. equals 175 mg. of polyphenols. Data from AIBMR Life Sciences (Dr. Schauss)
Apple: 42.75 umoles (ORAC umoles per gram) times 150 grams (avg. apple wt.) equals 6,413 umoles per apple- total ORAC
3.47 (mg. of polyphenols per gram)times 150 grams equals 520 mg. of polyphenols per apple.
Apple data from USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods)
I warned you previously, Pete, that I won't waste my time repeating myself to you, so this is your one chance to soak up the information.

Food Tech quit trying to deflect my comments. I just told Barb the truth! You are a liar and a fake. You throw your scemes over at least 8-10 blogs. If you were a real scientist, you would not have that amount of time to post rubbish online. You hate people that love monavie PERIOD.. So you resort to calling people liars and scam artist. Quite frankly, this describes you.

Food Tech the Magician
Have you notice his so-called trick ORAC of ONE apple (150 gm. red delicious variety): 6,413umoles (USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods) Without thinking you say oh my gosh, it's more then Monavie. See he fooled you, not only with grams instead of ounces. 150 gms equal 5.3 ounces.
Now if he is what he says he is he could tell you the truth. He could tell you the exact amount not copy it. I can copy too. Besides, he replaced a solid instead of a liquid. Why? Because he wants to fool you.
Now with 4 ounces of MonaVie: 2,698 umoles (AIBMR/Dr. Schauss) (USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods) the same table Mr. Food Tech uses of Apple Juice unsweetened TE/100 gm 408 umoles. 100 grams equal 3.52739 ozs.
Also from (USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods) concord grape juice TE/100 gm 2377 umoles. Maybe Mr. Food Tech could do the math, 113.5 grams equal 4.00359 ozs.
See I'm a scientist too!

Consult a nutrition specialist that went to school to understand the complexities of the human body! No someone that sat in on a seminar and listened to people that profit on other's ignorance to sell this product. And if you have a comment like "YOU AREN'T a doctor!" Google around and you will find numerous claims from reputable MEDICAL DOCTORS that this juice does nothing extra ordinary. I have been in school for 6 years studying the human body...it's just not that simple.

Anonymous makes a poor argument on December 17th. Whether FoodTech has a background or not is of no relevance. I don't need a college math professor to tell me that 2 + 2 is 4. I can evaluate the statement and decide for myself.
In this case FoodTech explained things so that the average person should be able to understand it. The fact that no one tries to disprove his logic shows that they can't because it's true. They can only attempt to discredit the person. That makes Anonymous looks bad, because he's ducking the debate about the apple and MonaVie (because he know he would lose).
Deniz, you are simply wrong sharing your "personal experience." It might have been allowed in the past, but now they have to be "subject to typical results" according to the FTC. Familiarize yourself with MonaVie's blog post on the topic here: monaviemediacenter.com/blogs/5-tips-every-monavie-distributor-needs-to-know-about-the-new-ftc-guidelines/.
I understand not listening to other people who might have a bone to pick with MonaVie, but shouldn't you listen to MonaVie and legal authorities like the FTC themselves?

I beg to differ Deniz. Here is what you wrote: "but when you see a man walk that you have only ever seen in a electric wheelchair that he had to use due to the discomfort of walking due to MS, that will convince anyone that the product works positively on helping your body to its job"
**You also wrote: "I have a back injury (double disk bulge in my lower spine) I have been on various medications over the last 3 years on an ongoing daily basis.
Drugs for Pain relief, antispasmodics, anti inflammatories, anti ulcerants,antacids. I am only 37 and was as a Registered Nurse division 1 very concerned over the medication long term effects.
My parents are the ones that introduced me to MonaVie and I am thankful to say that it has impacted my life greatly"
**Clearly, you have broken the law and have violated MonaVie's own regulations.
This is from the MonaVie Black Diamond University site:
"Unauthorized Health Claims
1. Do not use terms or phrases that suggest the product can prevent, mitigate, diagnose, treat or cure a disease.
2. Do not use terms or phrases that suggest an Ingredient can prevent, mitigate, diagnose, treat or cure a disease.
3. When promoting the product, do not use scientific studies or other publications that discuss the effects of the ingredients if they conclude or suggest the ingredients can prevent, mitigate, diagnose, treat or cure a disease."
**So, certainly, you broke the law. I noticed that you also forgot to put your full name and distributor I.D. number, as required by MonaVie, when posting on a blog. Was this a simple oversight?

He is a professional blogger on 4 or 5 sites besides this one. What's his reason to be on this post? to discredit the product nothing else. To be famous as a blogger? famous as a so-called scientist?

That is the only claim I made the others were my personal experience with the product.. I did not say that it was MonaVie HOWEVER.. that was the ONLY THING i have changed in the past 3 yrs and the results speak... So food tech keep going with your negative crap as no one really takes you seriously well i dont anyways... Cheers

You don't have to believe me. The studies are from Dr. Schauss (AIBMR) and the USDA (ORAC Table of Selected Foods)
Again: ORAC of 4 ounces of MonaVie: 2,698 umoles (AIBMR/Dr. Schauss)
ORAC of ONE apple (150 gm. red delicious variety): 6,413 umoles (USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods)
So, unless you have even one study to refute this, then I believe your comments to be moot.

He is such an authority ask him for his credentials? he has none. He just likes to make you think he's a threat to society. Monavie doesn't listen to him and neither should you.

ok here goes.
We joined just over a month ago and are loving not only consuming MonaVie but also working the business.
I have a back injury (double disk bulge in my lower spine) I have been on various medications over the last 3 years on an ongoing daily basis.
Drugs for Pain relief, antispasmodics, anti inflammatories, anti ulcerants,antacids. I am only 37 and was as a Registered Nurse division 1 very concerned over the medication long term effects.
My parents are the ones that introduced me to MonaVie and I am thankful to say that it has impacted my life greatly...
All i was told is here have a bottle i want you to drink 60ml in the morning and 60ml in the evening.
I did and on day 4 i woke with next to no pain. I did not need my pain relief, this continued until now 1 month later i am off all my medication and only require it if i have overdone it so to speak. the MonaVie has allowed my body to work better at healing itself. I dont quite know what Techs problem with MonaVie is, sour grapes perhaps, but when you see a man walk that you have only ever seen in a electric wheelchair that he had to use due to the discomfort of walking due to MS, that will convince anyone that the product works positively on helping your body to its job more effectively. My parents both got diagnosed earlier this year with Type 2 Diabetes and I am a qualified Diabetes Educator and I am pleased to report that their values are now within normal ranges, before introducing MonaVie to their daily schedule they were above normal and i was going to speak to the MD about commencing Oral medication to help regulate their blood sugar... well no need... The products are amazing and the new one will be even more exciting (M)mun sounds too good to be true cant wait. I am personally Loving the MonaVie products business and Family and am proud to be part of a company with a vision of not being the best in the world but being the best for the world. GO MONAVIE... YOU ROCK!!!

Great site! Great results on the hits. We started our own blog and just signed up a few weeks ago. I had been getting the pitch from family and friends for over a year and I brushed it off because of the business platform and the cost. I went to church one night after a bad report from the doctor and it came up again. A fellow church member walked me outside and gave me a bottle. I signed up saying it couldn't hurt to try it. I gave my doctor a promise that I would go on Cholesterol and blood pressure medicine if I couldn't get them down in 60 days. It's been a little over a week and my blood pressure has dropped on the top number by 20 points and the bottom by 17. I am half way to my goal with 45 days to go. We have started selling Mona Vie and we are having a tasting on the 11th of Dec. We are located in Atlanta GA.

REEN, yes that was me. I saw a vision where MonaVie is sold on the store-shelf next to other rather mundane fruit juices for $2.99 a bottle. It's true value. I no longer use fire plugs since that last ugly incident.
For Ashley Colombe: thank you for the unsolicited, unverifiable, obviously false anecdote. As soon as I get a Glad bag, I'll file it where it belongs.

So does Pepsi colada and all the others that use preservatives. It's used to protect the flavor and to enhance the safety of many food and beverges and is appoved by the FDA. When was the last time you heard on any one having cancer caused by preservatives or dying from it? Here's something to think about, the naysayer say there is so little ingredients in Monavie then there must be very little preservative in it.

My husband he is a finactic looked up all the ingredients in monavie, to his surprise because he loved the juice, the perservatives in monavie cause cancer. Im not trying to scare anyone just informing people should know what they are drinking. Look it up yourself, these are the facts just look up the perservatives in the juice and do your own research.

Guess what? Anonymous, prove my point. As for repeating the words of Brig Hart, I wouldn't worry to much. Anonymous couldn't catch a train if it was standing still.
As for him finding a GREAT MLM, you already have. He just got done licking some acai and got stuck on some flypaper. Flies are for some reason attracted to things that are dead. It would be better if he drank some acai he might not die, he may live a little longer.

Don't quit your day job. You will soon be expunged as a monavie distributor for your blatantly false comments regarding the connection to acai and monavie.
It's one thing to be "Fired Up", about the program, but to be a totally ignorant tool to spout untruths about a product is not acceptable.
Also, stop regurgitaing the rediculous sayings of b hart, regarding that this will be huge, jump on the train, etc.
I'm going to bed now, AFTER I THROW UP FROM READING YOU'RE CRAP!!!!
By the way, I can get you in touch with a GREAT MLM that markets FLYPAPER for the hordes of flys that must be buzzing around your place , since they never seem to die!!

Apples 2 Oranges, my original post somehow did not make it to the screen, so I'll try again.
You wrote: "The problem is that you cannot compare milliters and milligrams. Liters is a unit of volume and grams is a unit of weight. So your numbers cannot add up. 1 millilter of pure water weighs 1 gram. This is much thicker than pure water!"
***You are correct that a ml. of water equals a gram. However, the advantage belongs to MonaVie since a ml. of MonaVie would weigh more than a gram, thus increasing the final numbers. If we were to weigh out a gram of MonaVie for the same tests, you would see a decrease in the ORAC, phenolics and other phytonutrients.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure the other distributors are thrilled.
You stated: "2. Monavie ORAC score averages 4000-5000 per 4oz. the ABIMR test is an average. Do we need to discuss the term averages? ORAC scores can vary depending on when it was tested, how it was tested, and just the overall content of the fruit at the time"
***The AIBMR score was a direct analysis, not an average. It was tested using fresh product supplied by MonaVie. Where is your lab references for the 4000 to 5000 number? I can't find a shred of data to back up your statement. The 4000 to 5000 numbers were likely made up by marketing, because they cannot be verified.
You stated: "4. Therefore, you cannot get the full benefit of nutrition from just one apple; thats why the world has a VARIETY of fruits, because we need more than just one kind. they all contribute something different. (kind of like people)"
***I never said that you can get the full benefit from one apple. I said that one apple has a much greater ORAC and total phenolics than 4 oz. of MonaVie. Again, you cannot get the full benefit of phytonutrients from MonaVie. Whether you use 19 or 1900 fruits, you still are only consuming 4 oz. of product. There are zero studies that document that 4 oz. of MonaVie contributes anymore phytonutrients than regular produce. Don't be fooled by the exotic names. 4 oz. is 4 oz.
You wrote: "You seem to be a science buff so i am sure you have a handle on all the scientific jargon but for the rest of us, in layman's terms it means that the combination of fruits found in the juice have health benefits greater than those of the inidvidual fruits. (the old adage, it is more than the sum of its parts)."
***I'm a little more than a science buff. I'm a food technologist (scientist), and have been for over thirty years. I've worked 5 of those years in a fruit juice lab, so I have a little insight into the industry.

Apples 2 Oranges, Now that I have a little more time, let me finish my thoughts on your post.
Apparently, you have an issue with comparing fresh fruit to fruit juice in terms of the ORAC. Your reasoning seems to be that the analysis would vary considerably due to the age of the product. That's a valid concern, however, the ORAC would drop, not increase with age. So, the USDA data would be valid regardless. MonaVie's ORAC would also drop with age, and since it may not be consumed for over a month from the production date, it would be even more problematic, Fresh fruits start off with a much higher ORAC and are usually consumed within days from picking.
However, if you want to keep this only about juices, we can do that. As you pointed out, the ORAC score is only one test utilized to determine antioxidant bioavailability. It so happens, that it is the only one that AIBMR tested for in the product analysis. That is a limitation on their study, and basically their error not to test other bioavail indicators.
The study conducted by UCLA (http://www.pomwonderful.com/pdf/Antioxidant_Beverage_Study.pdf) was much more thorough than the AIBMR study.
They not only tested the various juices for ORAC, but also for DPPH, FRAP, and TEAC.
If MonaVie wants to backpeddle from their ORAC boasts, they need to do a new study using the same testing as UCLA. Otherwise, ORAC is the only bioavailability indicator that can be documented. You can also view the total phenolics (Polyphenols - all plant-based antioxidants combined) AIBMR lists it as 1.48 mg/ml. UCLA also lists the total phenolics of the various juices.
Reviewing the UCLA study, we find that MonaVie would rank between black cherry juice and blueberry juice for ORAC, and between orange juice and cranberry juice for total phenolics.
I hope this answers your questions

I just started with the company a week ago. I am excited and I am getting many people motivated. Please tell me I made the right decision.....Lots of people bashing because of the AMWAY thing. I am still trying to stay positive, and already have people signing up as a distributor. This is exciting.
I would like my friends and family to enjoy the benefits of the drink and others.

I do hope that you had a great time at family reunion you are truly lucky to have been there.
As a distributor I hope that every thing you said was "FACT" the only reason is there are people out there that would turn you in on a dime to FDA, FTC, and what other government agency they can find. If it's not then please correct it as soon as possible.
Drink it, Feel it, Share it

Just got back from the R3Global Family Reunion in Orlando a few day ago, and we are fired up!
Learned a number of new things about the products and of course had a fabulous time with our team!
What's new? Mona Vie is now a patented formula! In independent, published studies, the USDA has determined that with consumption of acai, Range of Motion is improved. Also, Monavie is the only company with a patented freeze dried process to lock in %100 of the acai’s nutrition. Acai begins to break down within 48 hours of picking it. No one else has it, nor can they get it. All other products containing acai are inferior. Not only that, Monavie doesn’t clarify it’s product, nor do they dilute it in water.
In another study done by the USDA they found that flies that consume acai live longer than other flies. This is huge! This study has led to another study on the anti-aging properties of acai.
The University of Florida has found that acai kills 86% of leukemia cells in lab studies. Other companies have called the scientist to ask him what Monavie puts in their product. Since then, he has asked to be on Monavie’s board of advisors.
There are phytochemicals in acai that don’t even have a name yet!
Monavie’s new energy drink, Emv launched 11 weeks ago. In that time, 5 million cans were sold. That’s equivalent to a Coke or Pepsi product launch. Think about all the advertising spent on those products. Monavie is just word of mouth. In a blind taste test, Emv was voted #1. It’s also the first hybrid energy drink. It’s 80% fruit. It has no added sugar, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. It is low glycemic so there is no “crash”. The energy comes from all natural sources, herbs and fruit. And it’s delicious!!!
The products are exciting! This company is on the cutting edge of science. It’s absolutely fantastic to be part of it. This is going to be huge. It truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s a freight train and the momentum is building. So if you’re not already on the train, jump on and stay on. You’ll be glad you did!
This juice and this company are a blessing like we’ve never seen before. So go out and bless others!!

another to Food Tech:
Below is the answer from the Brunswick laboratory when asked the question :
Can I use the published ORAC data for comparison purpose?
"No. In the middle of the 90's, Cao and coworkers published the ORAC values of some vegetables and fruits. The results primarily demonstrate that the ORAC assay is a valuable tool to evaluate the antioxidant activity. However, due to the limited sample sizes and varieties, the published ORAC values of vegetables and fruits are not comprehensive. Importantly, the most published ORAC results are obtained using the old method; therefore they are not valid anymore. Furthermore, the naturally occurring antioxidants actually are the secondary metabolites of natural products; Mother Nature has a profound influence on their biosynthesis pathways. For instance, the geographic locations, weather conditions and the varieties of the species have been determined to influence the antioxidant property chemically and physiologically. We screened over 1000 vegetables last year; the conclusion is that "not every broccoli is created equally".
"You can use the ORAC value to compare fruits or vegetables themselves but not products made from them. Different processes will create different results for two products using the same fruit or vegetable!
The ORAC value was not meant to be used as a comparison point between different products!"
this simply confirms my point that, that comparing an apple to monavie is really the same as comparing apples to oranges. even monavie itself says that 4000-5000 is an average ORAC for this very reason.
i would also not doubt that each one of those fruits on the USDA chart were tested immediatly upon being picked from the tree to get the "best" scores though not realistic. since most of us dont have apple trees in our back yard to eat the fruit fresh. and we all know that, the longer a fruit is disconnected from the tree, the more loss there is in antioxidants and nutrition. ie thats because its dieing. it is a scientific fact that plants not connected to the parent, will die.
in conclusion (or at least until i find some more supporting statements), monavie works. kind of like faith. even scientists havent been able to completely explain why it works. personally, as long as its benefiting me (and thousands of others as seen from their testimonies), and i feel the effects, id prefer to go with that. i'd wager to say that its because they are making a tremendous effort to give back to the planet and the people (wwww.themoreproject.com). whether you want to believe it or not, as oxymoronic as it sounds giving opens the doors for one to become successful. I think Monavie has proven that.

Posted on August 18, 2009 12:18
To Food tech:
On multiple sites you are working hard to bring down Monavie. Here are some other facts you may not have looked into.
1. You stated:
MONAVIE: ORAC: 22.81 umoles/ml
Total phenolics (all plant-based antioxidants combined): 1.48 mg/ml
FUJI APPLE: ORAC: 25.89 umoles/gm.
Total phenolics: 2.10 mg/
The problem is that you cannot compare milliters and milligrams. Liters is a unit of volume and grams is a unit of weight. So your numbers cannot add up. 1 millilter of pure water weighs 1 gram. This is much thicker than pure water!
2. Monavie ORAC score averages 4000-5000 per 4oz. the ABIMR test is an average. Do we need to discuss the term averages? ORAC scores can vary depending on when it was tested, how it was tested, and just the overall content of the fruit at the time.
3. Simply comparing a fruit or juice based soley on the ORAC score to determine complete nutritional value is not really worthwhile. In fact, the same scientists that you put down say that.
the following is an excerpt from the AIBMR website: http://www.aibmr.com/news/story.php?id=2
...Unsure of whether any fruit/berry juice could protect cells exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) under experimental conditions, Honzel and colleagues first tested whether the acai in Monavie could protect human erythrocytes and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells. The procedure utilized a new cell-based antioxidant protection model using erythrocytes (CAP-e) and PMN cells, called the CAP-e and ROS PMN assays. Not only did the Acai in Monavie provide strong inhibition of ROS, indicating potent anti-inflammatory properties, it also showed significant immune supportive properties, confirming earlier studies led by Schauss and colleagues published in the same journal in 2006.(1,2)
"We have some theories as to why Monavie juice protects human cells as strongly as it does. One thing is certain, boosting the ORAC value of a juice is not the path we would take as it disregards other factors that contribute to health, such as compounds we have identified in this juice not found in other juices to date that affect cell signaling" ---Dr Alex Schauss
You seem to be a science buff so i am sure you have a handle on all the scientific jargon but for the rest of us, in layman's terms it means that the combination of fruits found in the juice have health benefits greater than those of the inidvidual fruits. (the old adage, it is more than the sum of its parts).
4. Therefore, you cannot get the full benefit of nutrition from just one apple; thats why the world has a VARIETY of fruits, because we need more than just one kind. they all contribute something different. (kind of like people)
Also a note to Julia James Thomas---yes, there are a representative 7 at the top ranks in Monavie because those are the ones who've put the most work into this and followed the plan.
And Kudos to those 7. It just goes to show, that many people want the money, but no one wants to work; its easier for many to find an excuse and quit! and that is exactly what they will do with every other great opportunity that comes to them---quit when they have a bad day. We are a society of quitters. Everyone wants a free lunch!
A large majority of people will just drink the juice and not attempt to become an active distributor. And another large majority will give up because they had a bad day or a bad week. And then a small handful will actually make it because they decided to stick with it no matter what; and they will be the millionaires that everyone else is wishing they could have been.

Glad you been successful Taty. I been doing Monavie now for almost 2 months now. I was qualified but lost one person and still working to reach the 500 points to get Star 500 and start getting team commissions for the rest of the time. That is what I am really shooting for now so even when I dont have a signup all week, I still get money to my account.
So thought who want to join our Monavie team, come send me an email. We are very successful. Alot of them have success just getting people they know or offering tasting parties in their area or you can just post in forums, other areas to get signups online. Whatever works for you is great. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Dale. That is very cool to hear. For me I been a distributor now in the business for little over a month. I havent had alot of success at all but we got a good team and my so called mentor is really helping me and bringing me people that he signs up under me or under another person on our team. I am qualified and should be seeing the team comissions rolling in this week.
But so far, what we or I been doing is paying first month for people. That seems to get them in but hopefully they stick with it and continue and able to get some themselves but if not, we have great team members who are able to help each other get members for each other. Its a great thing to be feel not alone. It has cost me quite a bit to start but that is expected from any business. Just hopefully very soon be starting to come out ahead and starting making some decent money.
But certainly its not all about that. The Monavie product itself is super and when it means helping someone else or making them feel good, it is all worth it.
If any have any questions feel free to email me at kazoo2020@yahoo.com and also if you can, let know where you seen my advertising. Just interesting to hear others take the time and seen what I had typed.
So anyways, Dale, you say your sponsor is Brig. That is pretty cool. If I can remember correctly, I think hes at the top but on our team too. Hey, maybe we are team members, how can we tell? My upline Diamond Executive is Mike McCleary. Send me an email sometime and we can chat on messenger which I see you have. Mine is kazoo2020 on yahoo. Any others are free to add me as well.
I would include my distributor id but dont know it offhand right now. lol

I got violently ill, vomiting severely soon after drinking the Monavie with glucosamine, two different times. At first I didn't realize it was the juice. My doctor said it was OK to drink the juice. The second time, a month later, it happened again. What on earth could have caused such a reaction? The last time I got sick like that was 15 yrs ago when I ate an apparent spoiled shrimp dish at a restaurant. The second time I was left with a poison-oak like series of bumps, and fatigue for over two weeks. I am really mad because of this!!!

Brittany,
The best advice I can give you is to follow the instructions in the MAP (Maximum Action Plan) available at R3 Global and remember to follow up with the folks you approach. I have seen many sales lost due to not following up with a prospect, not everyone's timing is the same and "no now" does not necessaraly mean "no forever".
Best of luck

I've been drinking MonaVie Active and Pulse for about three weeks now. It is a blessing to have been introduced to this product. I have suffered with different ailments and can give a personal testimony on how this juice has changed my life. I represent the product because it has helped me. In todays world reputable Health and Wellness products are needed on such a large scale, I can personally say you should give Mona Vie a try, not only does it taste good you will be blessed.If you are in the Chicagoland area I can hook you up with a tasting.

Food tech, My wife and I are going to be starting a website dedicated to exposing monavie and other so-called superjuices. We don't care about the business end of these products. Just the science-does it work? How many antioxidants and other phytonutrients are in these juices? How does it compare to other products that you can purchace at the grocery store?
We are prepared to spend money to have these products tested by multiple labs.
We'll have a comments section, but it'll only be about the product itself, not childish bickering about the business.
Food tech we'd like you to be the science advisor on this blog. You can explain the real science behind superjuices. Maybe we can do some youtube interviews with you? What do you say?

For Anonymous: I'm comparing a Day's serving (4 oz.)of MonaVie (a single serving is 1 to 2 oz.) to a single Fuji apple. Most people will eat the entire apple. An average Fuji, listed at my local grocers, is 150 gms.
If you want to compare it gram to milliter (again, MonaVie is fluid) then the numbers are as follows:
MONAVIE: ORAC: 22.81 umoles/ml
Total phenolics (all plant-based antioxidants combined): 1.48 mg/ml
FUJI APPLE: ORAC: 25.89 umoles/gm.
Total phenolics: 2.10 mg/
Therefore my calculations are correct. My statement stands: a single Fuji apple has more antioxidants than an entire days serving of MonaVie.
Again, MonaVie loses to the apple. Would you like me to do a cost comparison for you?

Bryan,
The answer is it depends on what people want. Some for the product and it's benefits, others for the MLM side, most do get on board for both aspects.
I always find out what they want up front, if it's product only I set them up on auto ship so the product shows up without any fuss and set their back office so they do not get a bunch of promotional e-mails and things they don't want. It is interesting that after a while I usually get a call that they are ready to go with the business side, most often after they take a look and see they already have a down line growing, because even if they are not building the business, me and the people placed under them are.

Lets make everything equal here, your apple is 150 gms 150 gms=5.29109 oz. Also 4oz.=113.398 gms. Your apple is overweight FT
***Equal to 12 servings of fruits? 4 oz. of MonaVie has an ORAC of 2,698 umoles (AIBMR study) A single Fuji apple (150 gms) has an ORAC of 3,884 (USDA ORAC Table) So, how many fruits is one Fuji apple equal to? You posted this june 25th

Donna,
I have better, more recently updated info on the several questions that you have related to us all.
As far as how to take the active and/or pulse, simply open the bottles, take a large syringe and suck up about 2 ounces, then adminsiter 1 drop every 3 minutes thruout the entire day. Be sure to keep both bottles in the new R2uNiversal approved plutonium lined cooler bag for the entire shelflife of the bottle, otherwise they may go sour, ferment & turn into motoroil.
For your mothers arthritic conditions I would recommend pouring about 6 cases of mvactive into the bathtub and letting her soak for about 20 days. You might try mv pulse for your father, but the jury is still out on that one.

Donna,
What I do is mix 2 Oz Active and 2 Oz Pulse in a coffee cup, twice daily to get the benefits of the glucosimne in the Active and the heart healthy plant sterols in Pulse. Sounds like from you post it would probably be a good idea to check with your doctor.
As a rule of thumb, of course there are exceptions to any rule, it's children under 12, nursing mothers and pregnant women all use Original as the bones and joints of the child / fetus are still developing thus the glucosimne is not a good idea, over 12 everyone goes on Active and over 30 add Pulse.
Also the Emv energy drink is a nice boost when I feel like a little pick me up around lunch time.
Hope this helps.

How do you take mona.vie active and mona.vie pulse in the same day? Does it have to be split 2oz of each once a day? Or 4 oz of each twice a day. I have an arthrictic mother and a father who died of heart disease. I am torn as to which one to try. I also have high colesteral and am on meds

Equal to 12 servings of fruits? 4 oz. of MonaVie has an ORAC of 2,698 umoles (AIBMR study) A single Fuji apple (150 gms) has an ORAC of 3,884 (USDA ORAC Table) So, how many fruits is one Fuji apple equal to?

To whom it may concern, My husband Bobby and I got into Mona Vie because we seen the difference it made in our life. He wore a knee brace just shy of one year. Was looking into surgery when we were blessed by a friend who stopped by with a bottle of Mona Vie Active. After hearing testimony after testimony my husband and I decided to become distributors. Because we Care about people and we Love this PRODUCT!!! If we can be of any help to you don't hesitate to call us 24/7
919-554-1402 or email us at Nicksmommy512@aol.com. Although Mona Vie doesn't claim to cure anything. Think on this if you give your body the right nutrition I believe it can cure itself. 12 servings of fruit a day can't be wrong for anyone! Have a Blessed Day, Lisa Fowler Sponsor # 1961800.

Got My Monavie E but it is too late in the day for me to try it. However, this link was sent to me. After watching you can click on the other one on the botton left (Most popular). Both are fun. One is about the athletes drinking Monavie. Major buzz going on about Monavie E being delivered, everywhere I read people love it.

My apologies for using unfamiliar short hand.
Emv is short for Energy Mona Vie, they just made available for distributors in the US, I just noticed you have a reference to Canada on your post so it may not be available in your area just yet. "Roll Out" is a slang expression for introducing a new product to the market place.
I hope the other information I posted is beneficial to you, really it is all in the comp plan in the Mona Vie back office.
I try to keep the initial start up costs down to a minimum for my personally sponsored people and only recommend information sources that will get them started the right way.
Your question about the additional business centers is rarely asked by a new person as the first one is awarded at the Hawaiian Blue Diamond level and the other two come in at the Black Diamond levels, I thought you were a seasoned net worker.

Thank you Frank. That was a very informative answer and info that would be valuable if/when I meet a seasoned networkmarketer.
You used a couple of acronyms that I'm not familiar with like EMV rollout. What is EMV and what is being rolled out?

I guess nobody really want's to take a stab at the BC2, BC3 or BC4 question.
OK here goes, once the comp plan is maxed out in your BC1 at $10,000 at per week the company will add up to 3 additional business centers all of which have the maximum potential of $10,000 each from the team commissions or the 5th way of earning income in the comp plan an. The original BC 1 would be kinda like a 1st leg and the other ones would be kind of like additional "Profit legs" thus also benefiting you in the ECM's and the Diamond and Black Diamond pool's. It goes into much further detail in the R3PM which is a 2 to 5 year business planning manuel also available at R3 Global, due to it's cost I would only recommend it to someone who views this business as a career and has the full intention to build it to the point of full time only after reaching the Black Diamond levels.
Posted by Frank | June 18, 2009 10:35 AM
Posted on June 18, 2009 10:35
To expand in what B of VA suggested, great answer, by the way, other than putting your family and closest friends on the "Power leg" and everyone else on the "Profit leg", in the end you still want at least 20 personal people to the left and 20 personal people to the right.
I would suggest anyone just getting started take a look at and follow the MAP or Maximum Action Plan, there is a CD also available for training purposes which goes into all that in greater detail. They are available at R3 Global, this is probably the most effective and least expensive tool to get started the right way. A step up from that would be the 48 hour pack which contains a few sales tools in addition. I would not recommend anything further at this time due to the Emv roll out as I would expect they will be updating the tools in the near future.

Thank you B of VA. Your answer was very helpful. I wish the questions and answers could be posted quicker. Perhaps the forum administator could have someone on their team help with reviewing the new posts. That's what the busy forums do.
Does any one know the answer to my first question? Where do the additional business centers come from when you reach Black Diamond?
Posted by acai-rose-canada | June 17, 2009 6:06 AM

At our level we only get paid on the weaker leg so that is where you want to be building. The other leg is built from above. Of course we have to be qualified in both in order to be paid but the volume will be held for you as long as you have your 100 per month in your personal center even if you don't qualify in each leg. That was nice with Monavie added that safety net.

Can't help but jump in on this one, been using the product since Jan 2007, think it works great for me and probably will for you too. Do I have any formal degree in health sciences, nope, no more than I have a degree in electrical engineering to be able to use a light switch; it just works, pretty much every time. So no hyped up health claims, silly arguments, or nut job promo on my watch, if they don’t get it on the sites Mona Vie and Brig Hart have, they won’t get it from me. Also Mona Vie does not contain Viagra, however we have a race car now and everybody smiles allot, just kidding, I put that in to snap the guys in the compliance department who probably monitor the blogs.
Mona Vie’s MLM, it works about the same as all the rest of the binaries do with several notable exceptions, no sign on fee for 2009 just get on board and pay the same price I do, (Remember to use 248969 when you hit the enroll now button on the Mona Vie or Brig Hart home page), even when they had one it was $39 not the several hundred dollars most MLM’s charge. Your points never go away as long as you are using the product as directed, if you are not interested in the MLM side, your points don’t matter anyway. Misinformed people doing crazy things, sure we got them, after all everyone is human and opinions and the way people see the world varies, guess what, that is what makes us human. The majority of the great people on board do it right way. No false expectations, no empty promises, no having folks order a bunch of product they don't need, it’s against company policy anyway, and most importantly not bugging folks if they don’t want to be bugged. You get one call or e-mail from me to try to figure out how I can help you so I take a non response as you do not want to be helped and are happy being a non hassled wholesale customer, my contact information is in my personals back office anyway and I respond to all when they are ready to go and will do whatever it takes to get them there. What is my rank and how much do I make, don’t ask, it’s not about me, it’s about you, where you want to go with this and how I can help you to get there, see the Mona Vie Income Disclosure Statement, I’m on it, always thought that was a pretty rude question anyway.
Face fact's around 90% of the folks on board are wholesale customers, ref Mona Vie's IDS, which means they do not want to do MLM in the first place, so I don't force them or even suggest for them to get a bunch of e-mail and promo junk they don't want or need, if they want to be in the 10% or so who are ready for MLM and have the dream and drive to be free, happy to teach it the right way, simply put if it's not in the MAP, don't do it, if it is in the MAP go for it and hit a major function for a great time and learning the business from the best in MLM.
At any rate that's my spin on it.

It is true Monvavie is an very good product, but I just got turned on by my trainer to new product. Its called Zrii, and it is the only preservative free all-natural nutritional supplement (No carcinogenic Sodium Benzoate)! Formulated by Deepak Chopra (I'm sure everyone has heard of him), the product is brand new and sweeping the nation. It did $43 million in its first year (Monavie did only $11). It is still incredibly young and a once in a lifetime opportunity for young aspiring successful business people as well as health professionals. Monavie is a saturated product to sell as a distributor, there are not enough new drinkers to make any more money. Zrii is a superior product with incredible endorsements and the opportunity of being an original distributor (that's where the real money is made!!!) I was taking Monavie until I heard about the preservative and then switched over. Check out the product and if you want to hear more about the nutritional value, wonderful compensation plan or anything in general, email me at matt.kamhi@gmail.com
This is the greatest opportunity to get into a network marketing company since Amway!

Reply to No Room For Hate:
Thank you for an excellent question.
The chart that you mentioned, lists ORAC scores from the USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods (2007)
The table that you indicated, did not show how the units were expressed. The ORAC scores are umoles per 100 grams. To compare to MonaVie, you must first divide by 100 (or simply, move the decimal point to the left two places.)This will show the listing as umoles per gram.
MonaVie has an ORAC of 22.81 umoles per ml (AIBMR study sponsored by MonaVie)
This would place it, in ORAC rankings, on page seven, between Cereals, granola (22.94 umoles/gm) and Red Cabbage (22.52 umoles/gm)
As you can see, there are many, many foods with a higher ORAC score than MonaVie.
I hope this answers your question

Hi, I need some help..... My husband and I joined MV a few months ago we have not gone on autoship yet just due to he is the only income we have I am a stay at home mommy (no money there but a world of love and happiness) SO we have one on our left and he is on autoship but only got gel packs so I guess from what we were told he doesn't count. We have 2 on our right and one is on full 2 case autoship. Now our up-line is family. and they live in Avon Lake ohio. We live in Zelienople PA. We are 2 hours away from them. They go to things ALL THE TIME.... But we are just unable to drive like that on a daily basis. Now on Sat I'm not sure if anyone here reading this went but there was a BBS in Columbus OHIO..... We decided to go...As crazy as that sounds we Woke up at 3:30 in the Morning and left the house at 5am to be in Columbus by 10am our older boys stayed with my mother and we brought the baby because she is just to young yet to be left. So we got there with our Sponcers and we sat in the front right behind the people who were running the meeting. I was a bit worried about this but it actually worked out well. The baby was not bothering anyone because we were in front of everyone. Now she was not being loud and with everyone screaming anyway no one would have heard her and no one did! So about a half hour in to the meeting she was just about a asleep and she stirs a bit b4 she falls asleep but again she was NOT bothering anyone. We were sitting behind Charlie Kalb he was running the meeting. He turned around to me and said maybe I should take her to the back. This UPSET ME GREATLY! I may have over reacted a bit but I still was very hurt. So I told my husband that we should just leave and I walked out. If she had been making a fuss bringing her to the back would have distracted more people anyway. I am writing to ask if there are any PENNSYLVANIA PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!!! We woukd like to find things closer. My husband and I have decided that I should stay back with our kids and he will do more of the business end till they get a little older. IF ANYONE CAN GIVE US SOME HELP IT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!! THANK YOU......SHAKE IT BABY SHAKE IT!!!!!

Anonymous,
How ignorant can you be?
You say it's silly for monavie to formulate an energy drink because the bottled monavie already gives you energy?
Have you ever stopped for a moment and used what little brain matter you many have and understand that for those who don't drink anything like a monavie product, but insist on drinking an energy drink, they may try monavie energy, see that it works as well as any other energy drink, but actually TASTES better than the rest? Are you forgetting that ALL businesses exist to make money? Do you realize that adding an energy drink to the existing line will create NEW AWARENESS to the original product?
In short, let me just ask one more question, Are you some kind of wacked out IDIOT ?? !!

My my, I thought this site was for active Mona Vie users and distributors only... who let this negative person post this. I have a news flash for you. Most of us distributors know what healthy is and have no need for the energy drink, its people like you that feel the need to drink your coffee that we are trying to help get healthier. I guess you cant see that though. You are the same person that wont drink it because it's too expensive, but you would prob save a few hundred a month if you were on this instead of starbucks. Have fun drying out the villi in your intestine walls with all of your sugar content in your coffee and whatever your pastry of choice is with it in the morning. I'll bet you wear designer glasses and have a cute little patch of hair right under the middle of your bottom lip too.

Why the need for this drink when all you sheep are already bouncing off the walls every day. Quite a few fibstributors say we should all do away with our starbucks, etc so that we can afford monavie, now monavie is bringing out a new drink with a higher caffeine content than coffee.
What next, a super healthy fruit juice infused alcohol drink that makes you or your date look better & positively no hangover in the morning?

Monavie is coming out with an energy drink on June 20. It will be released in Utah. Here is some info about it:

It will come in 24 can cases. I'm looking forward to this new product just in time for the hot summer.
Don't pay any attenton to Food Tech. He works for another company and just can't fathom why we would like Monavie. It is his issue. Monavie Rocks and that is why we drink it. Most of us have our personal stories about how it has helped us. We love it and will continue to drink it. Food Tech got his start in Hawaiian Punch. Is there any comparison, NO!

Let's continue with our antioxidant comparison of MonaVie. Today's winner is: CRANBERRIES
As usual, we will reference the AIBMR study (sponsored by MonaVie) and the USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods (2007)
RESULTS:
MonaVie: ORAC 22.81 Total phenolics (plant antioxidants) 1.48 mg.
Cranberries: ORAC 95.8 Total phenolics 7.18
TOTAL PHENOLICS PER SERVING:
MonaVie: 175 mg. per 4 oz.
Cranberries: 718 mg. per 3.5 oz.
Total phenolics, also called total polyphenols, are all of the plant-based antioxidants combined. This will include the anthocyanins, which should be notable on any beverage containing high levels of acai.

Oh my goodness. Look who's here. Mr. Phony Food Tech and his "half man-half woman" sidekick Juliana aka Thomas (or James) depending on what gender he or she is dressing up as today.
Don't listen to them. They are distributors of other companies who are feeling the pinch of a product that actually WORKS. Mr. Phony and his partner there have been bashing monavie and posting the same drivel on the other site for months. Apparently their businesses are falling down like London's bridge.
So, pay no attention. Everything that comes out of their mouths and off their fingertips are totally BOGUS LIES.

Anyone who still does not have a copy of the Chormadex test done this spring, on two unopened bottles of MonaVie, provided by a still-pro-MonaVie distributor, directly to the lab are welcome to contact me. Keep in mind this test is 2X as favorable as MonaVie’s own limited test done through AIBMR using 12 healthy adults and measuring antioxidant levels at only the 2 hour marker….using 2-4X the recommended serving size of 1-2 ounces. Regardless, get both reports. Compare, ask the company direct why there’s such a difference and why MonaVie’s tests are worse than the one done this year.
There is zero relationship between me and either Chromadex, MonaVie, or FoodTech. This is not offered with his knowledge or blessing, in fact if he's being squelched he's probably not going to be too happy with my choice, but so be it. If you wanna bake a cake sometimes you have to break a few eggs.
I'm NOT a failed distributor or someone who quit. Anyone who says so is lying through their teeth. Ask them for a smidgen of proof. They won’t, can’t, and haven’t ever offered any. That’s an absolutely unqualified lie. So ask yourselves….if they’re lying then are they lying now? We’ve already established they are liars, so you’ve got to ask yourselves. Definitely one of the things that make you go, “Huh?”
I don't have a chip on my shoulder as far a MLM's go. I think Avon, Mary Kay, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and many others are substantive business models. Of course no one's telling anyone a certain shade of lipstick, egg whisk, or burp-sealed container will help them maintain an erection, resolve their child's asthma, stop insomnia, heal damaged disks and nerves or any of the other lies spread by MonaVie distributors.
Read the MonaVie income disclosure statement....there are 7 people maintaining their positions at the top....not a representative 7 but s-e-v-e-n. The average earning for everyone who is actively a distributor (not counting the ones who've fallen off the reservation or never took hold), the average earnings counting EVERYONE who counts as a distributor is less than $3,900 a year!! That’s before one cent spent on traveling, meetings, business cards, brochures, literature, computers, Internet, storage, or the product cost itself.
The company and distributors are hoping, praying, counting on the fact you won't read it and if you read it this scam depends on enough of you letting some side-show sub-prime juice hawking dream pimp mislead you, sway you, and convince you what you're reading is not what it says.
If you want a copy of the independent lab report email me at jjames-thomas@att.net. Please reference MonaVie Lab Report in the subject line.
Educate yourselves. Trust.....but in whom take care.

How duplicit and misleading is that?! Sort of like claiming Oprah, Rachel Ray, Wolfgang Puck, and Bill Clinton endorse the juice...N-O-T..
NOT!!
We've come to expect no less from sub-prime juice pimps who use innuendo, hype, spin, illegal testimonies, religion, and lies to peddle their self-serving Koolaid.
The test Foodtech paid for with samples provided direct to the lab by a still-pro-MonaVie distributor show MonaVie to be......
TWICE AS HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANT'S AS MONAVIE'S OWN TEST!!
What are the juice hucksters complaining about?! Why don't they address the fact that MonaVie and Dr. Schauss's own findings were only half as good as FoodTech's
Don't be fooled by reading what you may THINK is between the lines. Don't be fooled by BS postings like the one quoted above.
Show'em that you're smarter than they give you credit for being.

The food tech in ca who is posting on this Monavie site for Monavie users has not told us that Chromadex is in competition with Monavie.
www.tinyurl.com/d2f5c4
Reuters article
What does this mean? Is Chromadex becoming a competitor to Monavie?
Just exactly how independent was this test he is posting about. NOT

Hello, Folks
Before you get involved with MonaVie, please do your own scientific research. I had an independent lab test MonaVie Active. It found polyphenols at 2.91 mg/ml. (Polyphenols are the antioxidants that MonaVie claims is equivalent to 9 to 13 servings of fruits)
This equates to 344 mg. per 4 ounces of MonaVie.
A glass of cranberry juice contains 402 mg of polyphenols (UCLA, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry)
The report also found 0.095 mg/ml of anthocyanins. This is very low. Anthocyanins are the predominant antioxidant in acai.
You can get a free copy of the lab report from Foodtech101@Yahoo.com
Also, review the following article: www.mensjournal.com/superjuices-on-trial

Hi All!
Monavie is a great product! I use the Active formula, for those of you who do not know, the Active formula has Glucosamine for the added benefit of joint health. Just "Google" Glucosamine and you will see the benefits it can provide. My parents who are in their early 60's are watching their cholesterol, use the Pulse formula, which has the benefit of plant sterols, resveratrol and Omega 3 fatty acids. Monavie tastes great and has provided me with some wonderful health benefits. I was so impressed and believe in it so fully, I've decided to make this my way of life. I am in the process of building a team in the Kansas City, MO area. If you are interested, please email me.
Many Blessings and Much Success!

The People that hate testimonials about healing, better health etc. have an issue. I just hope that the FDA wont stop me from saying I went to the store bought some fruits made some juice and drank it and now I'm healed from a disease. Some evil wicked people hate, God, miracles, healings and people getting their health back so beware of what you say, some wicked person may kill you for giving people hope.

I've been drinking Monavie for the last year and a half and have been thru several life changing events in that time period, along with the regular bouts of depression. Thank God for the juice. I don't know what I would have done without it. It has been amazing how much better I've felt and knowing that I am getting the nutrition that my body needs when I'm only craving carbs. My friend and I are now in the position to start the business and have our own stories to share. It's not about making money for us, it's about being able to give and share and hope that no matter what is happening on the outside we have to remind ourselves to care of us. We are in Prescott, WI on just 35 miles southeast of Minneapolis. I'm also working on getting my business set up in Omaha, NE. I'd love to hear from you.
Peace, love and balance,
Cheryl

I have read alot of Blogs lately about Monavie, including PurpleHorror. I just have to say, that it semms the people who are actually against MonaVie are the ones who (it seems) gave up onthe business and now are butt hurt about losing money.
Just like any other business, this takes time, effort, and patience. NO get rich quick scheme, or pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I just hate seeing false information thrown around, then an ignorant person takes those remarks seriously.

My husband and I have been with Monavie for 3 years. It has truly been a GODSEND for this family. Son with cancer, sister with emphysema, husband with heart disease and arthritis, myself with asthma, high blood pressure and diabetes. Can not make any claims as Monavie does not cure anything. What Monavie does is build your own immune system to fight off what is not right in the body. Lord knows we can testify to that.
We are in the Nashville, TN area and have a great group here locally as well as all over the country. Anyone wanting to know more I can be contacted at parrishc@comcast.net, 877-470-7786 or visit my website at www.mymonavie.com/parrish. Will be glad to talk with anyone about Monavie.
Just remember not to make any claims that could put Monavie in trouble with the FDA.

My spouse and I have been doing this for some time and we absolutely love it. The best part for us is training people how to succeed in this as well as hearing the amazing results of everyone who has been drinking it.

This is a Monavie board, not about politics, and you mixing the two sure doesn't speak well at all for your professionalism.
Your words and actions reflect on the rest of us. Over 50% of all potential juice buyers voted for him.

Hi Willy,
You do not necessarily need to be sponsored by someone there locally. Just make sure that you have a GOOD sponsor that isn't going to sign and ditch you and they will direct you to all of the information that you need. For every group there are numerous websites that provide lots of information, a good sponsor will even track down a tasting party and training group for you, regardless of where you are. A good sponsor helps you go "star" and checks up with you regularly. MonaVie is such a great and supportive team, if you find yourself a good sponsor, you will do great! I wish you look with your future in MonaVie! You will be so glad that you became a part of this business enriching people's lives!

Ok so I went to a MonaVie meeting for the first time a few days ago. I was pretty much forced to go because my friend and her husband drove me there but never told me where we were going until we got there and I couldnt leave. I decided to give it a chance, to have a open mind and to listen to what Mark and Jen Paul had to say. The thing that surprised me the most....was that everyone is supossed to be selling this juice because it is good for you and that it supresses certain ailments but after listening further.....I realized that everyone really was just trying to make money off this. They really werent concerned about making people lives better or making them healthier....it was really more about the buck. I really hope for all of you who are doing this, that you are doing it for the right reasons instead of the bad. And for those of you who are just out there to make some quick money, I hope it works out for you because the meeting that I went to was kind of culty and a little bit scary. Hopefully everything goes the way that is the right way and that noone gets screwed over in the process.

FREE FEBUARY ENROLLMENT INTO MONAVIE. A $39 SAVINGS, FREEBEE!
How does living longer, having more energy, making money and giving back to the community all wrapped up in one product sound?
MonaVie juice is all these things centered on the main ingredient, the acai berry. The berry grown in the Brazilian Amazon is one of the finest antioxidant super- foods in the world.
The drink combines the acai berry with 18 other fruits to create a great-tasting, healthy juice. With a shot of juice in the morning and a shot of juice at night, the company says you can improve your quality of life instantly.
Most Americans don't get the recommended two to four servings of fruits a day (even though the USDA recommends produce take priority over other foods). In fact, less that 17 percent of Americans get their daily recommended servings, and 48 percent consume less than one serving a day.
Fruits not only have vitamins and minerals, they also contain important health-protecting compounds called phytonutrients. These phytonutrients are what give fruits their color and protect the plant from viruses, bacteria and fungi. When we consume these phytochemicals, we take in these protective agents.

Hello everyone!
This is my first time on the blog. I love to hear how MonaVie is helping people in countless ways. I have been drinking MonaVie for almost a year now. At the beginning of the year I decided I wanted to get into the MonaVie business. I have just built a web site for MonaVie and hope to reach people through the internet. Check out my site at www.mymonaviehealthandwealth.com

My brother is a Monavie distributor and has been for about a year. He was in Team first which was doing Quixtar and then switched to Monavie when Amway came in the picture. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure 4 years ago and has had sarcoidosis of the lungs since he was a kid. My brother swears by Monavie, telling everyone about it, signing people up left and right, making very little money and still has congestive heart failure, sarcoidosis, and has to wear oxygen everyday. He is 44 years old. He is spending his hard earned and fought for money on this stuff. He filed for Social Security Disability benefits because he can no longer work due to his illness. It's just fruit juice, people. If you are expecting miracles, pray to God, not Monavie.

Michelle,
I think you may have to wait until it's available in Canada as I see Pulse only on the US Monavie webpage. If you go to my webpage (click my name below this post)and place an order, you may be able to have it shipped to your location. If not, it is only a matter of time before Monavie expands Pulse into Canada.
Thanks

Put in the time and energy to make Mona Vie a success. This is not a scam or pyramid scheme. Actually if people invest in themselves, the juice works folks. You don't make unwarranted claims, it really works and gives you added energy. Just sell health and the wealth soon follows. American's don't get enough fruits and vegetables in our bodies, if you eat that many different kinds of berries that can quickly cost more than Mona Vie. This is the easy way to get the nutrients your body needs and wants. Diabetes and weight problems are a sign of the times MONA Vie works, for many people when given a chance and a few months. Join or quit complaining and get the correct facts on the case.

I just want to drop in here again and see how everyone is doing, I hope everyone is well. There is a lot of economic uncertainty today and some people are cutting corners to make ends meet, and this sometimes involves the reduction of excesses, even if it good for their health.
People are limiting their intake of Monavie. This is the exact time when you SHOULD be drinking Monavie. Drinking Monavie boosts your immune system, greatly reduces free radicals (free radicals are thought to be responsible for immune system weakness or dysfunction), help lower bad cholesterol, may prevent prostate enlargement, increases energy levels, slows aging, may prevent heart disease, help with diabetes, weight control, helps prevent osteoperosis and helps reduce pain with menstrual cycles, helps heal ulcers, improves digestion, prevents damage to your DNA!!, improves skin tone, MAY THWART CANCER - the antioxidant protection of the acai berry may lower cancer risks for several types of cancer, including breast, lung, skin, and stomach cancers, by neutralizing free radicals before they can damage cells, and the list goes on and on.............
Who wants to risk their health in these troubled times? I sure don't, and I am one of those who almost cut Monavie out of my life due to financial reasons. There is too much to lose by NOT drinking Monavie and I don't want to risk my health. If you can't afford Monavie it's time to take a look at your spending practices because it's only about $4.50 a DAY! Time to stop the McDonalds, Taco Bell, smoking, Starbucks, or whatever it is that is taking YOU AWAY FROM YOUR HEALTH. Invest back into YOURSELF with Monavie, you will feel better!
If you want to know more about Monavie and it's benefits contact me and I'll show you ALL of it's benefits. If someone had already introduced Monavie to you but you are "on the fence", take another look and talk with that person because they are asking you to help YOURSELF! That person wants to help you be the healthiest you can be. JUST DRINK THE JUICE! I DON"T CARE WHO YOU GET IT FROM, ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, JUST DRINK THE JUICE!!!
Thanks for letting me rant. I want to wish everyone a HAPPY, HEALTHY, WEALTHY, NEW YEAR!!!
Sincerely,
J.C.B

Food Tech, you are on the wrong blog. This one is for people drinking Monavie and wanting to talk about Monavie and the opportunity. The purple horror is the place for you where you can be your horrific self. Good thing we have yahoogroups where we can have private conversations.
Mexico is about to open up and then I think more European countries are next.

For Anonymous:
The rules are fairly simple. If you are a company employee or distributor or advertisor for MonaVie, you cannot make any claims that MonaVie cures or can be used to treat any infliction.
You cannot use someone elses testimonial about the product.
If you have no connection to the company, then you can say whatever you want.
If you are associated with MonaVie and make illegal claims on this site, I or someone else will forward that claim to the FDA. Period.
For BJ: Thanks for the welcome my foul-mouthed, uneducated friend. I like to keep an eye out on as many sites as possible. So far, I have forwarded 18 claims of cure or treatments by MonaVie distributors, to the FDA.
I appreciate your support. You can't believe how much you are doing to expedite the closing of MonaVie.

Can you cut and paste an entry (or link but I don't know if that is possible). I searched and searched and did NOT find any paks for $35.
The reason they are so cheap is because there isn't much payout, the volume is cut. But it is an ideal way to share Monavie and people love ordering them. Even though the shipping is free they are rushing them which is nice. In the beginning it took 7 or so business days to receive. But now they come in 2 days. That is outstanding. A real service of Monarch. That probably won't be true after Christmas. But they are trying to accomodate our needs.
Monavie is an excellent product, makes an excellent gift and is provided by a great company. I am at my one year anniversary and am very grateful to have been turned on to it. I searched for two years for an acai product I could trust. I learned about acai soon after it hit the health news.
BJ
I don't know about her having been in Monavie. She is a little too mean for Monavie. I believe she is in the mortgage business and probably fighting some pain. I'm hoping she and everyone can find some peace with the situation. We know we have a great product and people buy it because they love it. Foreclosures are hitting the rich and the almost poor. It is very upsetting for everyone (except those buying up the bargains). It must be difficult for anyone helping everyday people find (and keep) homes.

Hey Breezy. Jules isn't kidding. She's lying again, as usual.
Can you tell how busy she is writing in her little newspaper?....LOL....talk about not having a life. Now that she quit monavie because she thought she was going to make a quick buck instead of working at it like we do, she spends all her time here.....How pathetic....She's probably wondering how I can spend so much time here too, but what she doesn't understand is, monavie is my only job, and I work when I want to. When we work the monavie business, we don't have anyone telling us when to report to work and when we get to go home. When we can go home and take care of our sick kid or when we can't. When we can eat lunch and when we can't.....and last but not least, when we can get a raise and when we can't...LOL
It's a wonderful life, should one choose to work at it.

The holiday packs I'm seeing on Ebay and Amazon are wrapped in red. The board posted to isn't germane.
Ya'know, when a kid, or a competitor, even my ex-husband tries to put the focus on something that's not relevant I've always called that lobbing grenades. Trying to make someone look at something immaterial so they miss the forest for the trees.
BJ, you can't call me out for being a disgruntled, failed MonaVie distributor and provide no proof of anything you ever say, then find fault when I validate that I am not. You were either mistaken or lying, but soldiering up is beyond you, we know.
Tulsa sadly only has one paper. You also said I wasn't mentioned. I know your type. You're one of those people who post "they said", or "everyone knows" as well as even saying, "check it out for yourselves" or "verified with www.snopes.com". In reality you are counting on your authoritarian demeanor and people who will take you at your word, because if they did check out your statements they'd all dead-end right in a big pile of.... what was the technical term you used earlier? CACA? Maybe if we use baby talk you can better relate and possibly even keep up.
It wasn't about Tulsa, or Dothan (How are those chicken ranches?), but you made it about who I was. Don't move the goal posts, goober. I may have been born at night but it wasn't last night.
Come on, now. Give us some facts, proof, truth...beyond half-truths. Do something that for you would be novel; get past the insults and playground, strong-arm tactics. Try to stay on topic and make an intelligent post.

Juliana, I come over here to see if anything is happening and I find you are talking about me. Is your life so void?

Here's what you said:
The holiday pack Breezy so subtly keeps pitching… those holiday packs for $50 and free shipping….they’re all over the place for $34.95….no shipping….no kidding. How’re you guys handling that?
-----------
I found it interesting and did a search and the only Holiday paks I find are for $51 and more. What paks are $34.95? The ones I find are current (in red wrapping). Last year's were in silver wrapping. Are you talking about last year's holiday paks being sold?
They really are a good deal. Too bad you don't recognize one when you see it.
People who are loving their Monavie, don't let people steal your joy. Some people are just hard that way.

You're just ignorant and I'm willing to admit that you are, instead of calling you a liar. Does that make you feel better little girl? Perhaps your panties are too tight?
And by the way FOOL, I wasn't putting down Tulsa. I was just wondering why the blithering idiot would put a link to a silly little newspaper. That's all....We're not talking about Tulsa OR Dothan. We're talking about monavie. You certainly are showing your 3rd grade mentality on this board, aren't you?..GAWD

So, if a friend tells another friend that when he started exercising his injured knee healed and the pain of many years stopped and he has never felt better. OK that's fine but if someone on here talks about relief of some kind and it's "making claims"and "fda".Now I work in the safety industry and would never even recomend any drug more than aspirin, but juice?
I personally laughed at the idea of this stuff being anything more than an mlm.Only problem is after a few weeks (I didn't keep track of the date because I didn't expect anything at all)I actually started to get a nights sleep.I am going to be 32 years old in a couple of weeks and have sufered from this since I was a kid.I changed nothing in my life other than drinking this juice and there is no way juice would have any effect.So why did I all of a sudden start sleeping, no sleeping pills,no sleepless nights, no being tired all of the time.But I can't even tell my friends right? So I didn't for close to a year because when whatever is going on wears off I'll be back to normal and this way none of my friends would take a chance being out $39, and me look like a dumb ass.So now after all this time I tell a couple of friends and people I meet and I feel like I've been tricked into not telling anyone, and IT IS ONLY ####### JUICE!!So am I making medical claims by stating what's gone on in my life.Do the drug companies have us tricked into thinking we are scared to talk?
Just a thought.Not looking to get into some back and fourth thing or offend anyone in any way as we are here to "learn" something or at least I am.

BJ, have your mom re-read the Tulsa paper to you again. Juliana is quoted several times in the article "Home Foreclosures Jump in State".
Her reason for pointing this out, is to show that she has a real job. She is not a former MonaVie distributor like you keep saying.
Also, anyone living in Dothan, Alabama shouldn't be making fun of Tulsa.

A few of ya'll really need to learn the difference between opinions, facts, and lies. I understand, though, when you have fuzzy morals, boundaries are all fudged up. Try real hard, though. Won't you?
It is my opinion that MLM's are as a whole not very financially successful for the vast majority of those who participate in them. I think that products that are only available by non-retail sources are frequently hyped and over priced. That, again, is my opinion.
On the other hand, stating that MonaVie has a patented process, that's a lie. Alluding to income potential beyond MonaVie's federally mandated disclosure statement is again a lie.
91% of all MonaVie distributors are classified by the MonaVie Corporation itself as "wholesale consumers" who don't qualify for true commissions, but instead get as much as $59 a week in reduced product purchasing power. Now, that's a fact. There is no disclosure by the MonaVie Corporation as to the amount of acai in MonaVie. That is also a fact.
See how that works, BJ?
Also, don't think you can slap me down or insult me into crawling anywhere. Don't kid yourself. You must think I'm stuck on stoopid. Snake eyes. You crapped out. Picked the wrong girl.
You didn't allude to me being a disgruntled ex-MonaVie distributor...you said it was, an emphatically, "well known fact.” So, I posted a link to an article substantiating who I am. It's called r-e-b-u-t-t-a-l. We'll try to go slow here. Do try to keep up, though.
You don’t get to talk out both sides of your mouth, or any other orifice. The stakes are too high….
and watching this train wreck is much too much fun.
Hey, how do you all handle all the pages and pages of MonaVie for sale on Ebay and Amazon? The holiday pack Breezy so subtly keeps pitching…(kinda reminds me of Vanna White, or one of the Price is Right models when she does that)…anyway, those holiday packs for $50 and free shipping….they’re all over the place for $34.95….no shipping….no kidding. How’re you guys handling that?

Hey Jules,
What exactly is your point for posting a link to some kind of little Tulsa newspaper? Is Tulsa the new center of the earth? Your name doesn't appear there. No articles concerning the business at hand. What on earth are you smoking?
As far as your other comments, I've seen them all before. They are the same opinions (NO facts) that appear on your anti-monavie site called purple something or another. You're in the wrong place. Crawl back into your hole. People like you can't fool anyone on this site, so give it up and go home little girl, or boy. (probably Andrew)

The URL was cut off, but later posted completely. It's not "CACA" as you said, but bonafide and real.
You're a doofus, BJ, whatever the Hell that's supposed to stand for. You call names and make pointed remarks but there's no substance in your yammer.
Fruit may do for some people, but come on...why not put some meat in your answers!
91%+ of all "distributors" are classified by the MonaVie company itself as "wholesale consumers." They don't "earn" more than $59 a week in discounted product purchasing power, and don't receive any actual commissions whatsoever. Come back?
Laboratory studies on production samples (vs. those that may be planted by someone wanting to skew the results - i.e., the company) prove the ORAC is less than apple juice. The nutrition is higher in Tropicana Orange Juice and Welch's Grape Juice. Both of those, along with Knudsen's and V8 Fusion cost about $3 for 32-46 oz. vs. MonaVie's 25.5 oz. for $40. Even if you're paying $25, that's about $22 too much!! I'm not promoting any one product, there are a plethora of equal and better nutritional supplements. Take your pick!
MonaVie certainly has enough positive cash flow, many times over, to order independent, controlled studies, doesn't it? Why don't they? If they have, where are the results? If they haven't, why not?
Distributors and up line managers keep posting that there is a patented process. This is not true. The company applied for a patent but the patent was denied. Period. Anyone who tells you differently is mistaken at best or lying. What is the patent number of the process that MonaVie holds?
Howzzat for a start, BJ? Those are valid questions? Gonna call me a liar again? Gonna accuse me of being a failed distributor?
Come on, darlin'. I've made better boys than you cry.

Oh, and just one more thing, Jules. I have never made a health claim on behalf of MonaVie.
A testimonial is a tesimonial. It's nothing more than a personal opinion about something. Anything. Like a good movie, or the weather.
We're not allowed to make direct claims of treatments or cures. You will never see ME make any such claims. However, if someone else tells ME that MonaVie has done something positive for THEM, I will relay the message. Got that?

BJ, or anyone else who can provide any information to refute the facts I and other MonaVie naysayer have provided please do so! Come on, share your information with us. Considering the allegations and the time of year, and all, we're ready for an epiphany.
MonaVie's own published compensation plan reports:
YOU HAVE A LESS THAN 9% CHANCE OF EARNING $59 A WEEK - AND THAT'S BEFORE PRODUCT COSTS OR ANY RELATED BUSINESS EXPENSE.
YOU HAVE A LESS THAN 2% CHANCE OF EARNING GREATER THEN 4k A YEAR!
THE ORAC (which is only one nutritional facet of a food product - NOT to be considered alone and in a vacuum - according to the FDA - IS LESS IN MONAVIE THAN APPLE JUICE AND IT'S NOT AS NUTRITIOUS AS TROPICANA ORANGE JUICE OR WELCH'S GRAPE JUICE!
THE PRICE IS NEARLY 25X AS HIGH AS THOSE IN AT LEAST EQUAL PRODUCTS LIKE V8 FUSION, KNUDSEN, ETCETERA!
FRUIT AVIE IS ALSO IN A WINE BOTTLE AND MAKES A MORE COMPLETE DISCLOSURE. WOULDN'T IT BE SOMETHING IF BOTH PRODUCTS CAME OFF THE SAME LINE....IN THE SAME FACTORY? PLEASE SOMEONE RUN THIS TO GROUND! FRUIT AVIE IS SOLD AT WALMART, SAM'S CLUB, AND COSCO FOR $17 A BOTTLE. YOUR UP LINE HAS SCREWED YOU AGAIN!!
It's a little like dating someone who's married....if they'll betray their former life partner....if their morals are so fuzzy and convenient....why would you think they'd treat you any differently in the end?

I have NEVER been involved in any MLM, MonaVie, or any other MLM ever in my life. I'd never heard of the scam until on or about the 19th of November. I read the claims, though. I read about cures and heard the pitches of up line managers who I already considered morally bankrupt, ethically retarded, and without concious. That caused me to do the research I did. When I learned the true facts of the company, the product, the compensation plan, I was aghast. I could hardly believe that in this time of dire economics that a company was being allowed to operate, profiting on the backs of so many vulnerable people.
I am successful in my chosen industry. It's going to sound as though I'm breaking my arm trying to pat myself on the back, but I am extremely well thought of in my field. I'm called on regularly by reporters to provide information for various newspapers and other publications. I have provided expert testimony in a number of cases. I built my own business by being ethical, honest, and very hard working.
Please, ask BJ to provide whatever proof he can muster to support his outrageous, outlandish claims. He will not, because he cannot.
I am who I say I am. Is he?

For those who don't already know, Juliana is just another ex-distributor who failed miserably because he/she got into the business for all the wrong reasons.
I, as well as most other honest and reputable MonaVie distributors got into this business because we drank it, felt it, and wanted to share our experience with those we love, admire, and respect. That is why OUR businesses will grow.... Juliana, on the other hand, expected this business to be a "get rich quick" scheme and of course, we know it isn't. He/she simply expected to pay his/her $ 39 and sit back and watch money fall into his/her wallet/purse.,...Life doesn't work that way Juliana, or whatever your real name is. If you really believe in something, and want something bad enough, you have to actually WORK for it. That's what WE do. WE WORK.
So, that being said, why don't you go back to your anti-MonaVie "HORROR" site and preach the devil's sermon there, where you belong..
Have a great day,

The third week of November I was approached by a friend who had been approached by an up line manager I considered to be morally bankrupt. I decided to run the whole thing to ground. Why in the world wouldn't more of you do some research yourselves?
What Food Tech and the others who are speaking out (but just barely it seems), are saying is correct. Without the amount of acai and with the great number of other fruits there could be scant acai in a serving...and it's a serving, not a dose. It doesn't cure anything. It's FRUIT JUICE.
The labeling is deceptive especially coming from a company which advertises itself as the helpmate to the masses. It may not HAVE to be more transparent, but it should be.
The compensation plan is on the friggin' company Web site. READ IT!! SHARE IT!! UNDERSTAND IT!!
Over 91% of all distributors are classified by the company as only "wholesale distributors", receiving no commission checks whatsoever, and "earning" no more than $59 a week in discounted product purchasing ability.
If you're going to start a business doesn't it behoove you to have it checked out by a professional? If you don't understand it, isn't it a good idea to go see a CPA?
Do this! Check with a bunch of tax preparers and see how many of them do taxes for other people who've succeeded at MonaVie....how about MLM's in general?
There IS no pattened process. Food Tech is right again. The patent was denied three years ago. Check it out for youselves. Don't you owe it to your customers to be the best informed sales persons possible?
The Men's Journal study is germane. Less ORAC than apple juice, less healthful or nutritious than Tropicana Orange Juice or Welch's Grape Juice. 1/24th the price.
...one born every minute.

Business Owner Inquiry
Can anyone provide some guideance/experience regarding strategies to place MonaVie within business establishments. As I'm sure many already know, there is an opportunity to place the product with those that own service businesses, including: Salons, Spas, Massage Theropists, Chiropractors, Real Estate Brokers, Health Shops, Fitness Centers, Pilates and Yoga Trainers, Nutritionists, etc..... Given the fact that the new year is upon us, many people are going to be health conscious with their New Year Resolutions. Hence, I can see many heading into the gym - seems like a good opportunity to get exposure.
Does anyone have any suggestions for success that would benefit the distributors of MonaVie when approaching business owners?

**I concede defeat, BJ. It's obvious that I'm not at your intellectual level. Your factual citations have beaten me.
I'm no longer going to post here on MONAVIE LEMMINGS SPEAK!
I will crawl back over to the MONAVIE HORROR website. There I will be able to communicate with people closer to my intellectual level.
I bow to you, the master of factual information.

You're fooling nobody here but yourself. Give it up. We already know you're a loser and you keep proving that fact, over and over again with your bull crap.
Face it. MonaVie is the real deal, product wise, company wise, and business wise. Please do yourself and everyone else here a favor and
Go GET A LIFE !!

**Really?? Did you know that the test done on MonaVie that revealed it had such a high ORAC score was done by a contract lab? AIBMR Life Sciences is a contract lab.
The difference is that MonaVie corporate provided 7 doctored samples to AIBMR.
ChromaDex received their samples from field distributors (actual production samples).
The production samples had lower levels of antioxidants (acai berries big selling point) than apple juice.
Now, who is the fool?

Noni has more nutrition than monavie and tastes better too. Noni also has 48 fruits in it and monavie only has 4. I am a food technician and I tested both juices in my laboratory. In fact, I am typing this from my laboratory right now. OH, excuse me. I will be right back. I have to flush my toilet.

Hey FOOL Tech,,,,,I see your lying butt is at it again....Do you honestly think we believe anything you write here??
For example, that website you directed people to contained the "blog post" you referred to us....If your sorry butt had a single functional brain cell, you would have scrolled down to the bottom of your article and read the following:
* All tests were conducted and approved by contract-testing laboratory ChromaDex. Test results may vary up to 15 percent.
Aren't you aware, my bubble brained friend, that a contract-testing lab is just another product company??...visit ChromaDex and see, you empty headed fruitloop....you're fooling nobody but yourself.
PLUS" That post was written by:
jbeckman - who has written 3 posts on Men’s Journal, who advertises in the magazine.
Even an idiot like YOU can post something there.....
Have a great day,

The company does not recommend Monavie for pets. No research has been done to this date with regards to Monavie and animals.
You will probably hear opinions from both sides of this debate, but the official statement from Monavie is, it is not recommended.

its
Greetings from Santa Rosa, California!!! Business is booming!!!! Here in wine country we are jacked on this amazing product and changing lives a bottle at a time. My ex wife finally started finally drinking Monavie and it totally changed her health. She has type 2 diabites and since she started drinking the juice she has lost 15 pounds,2 dress sizes, and doesn't have back pain any more. She was very negative at first about the product and laughed at me but now she telling everyone about the juice!! This makes me very happy because she is the mother of my children and I was very worried about her health. Now I don't have to worry as much as I did and my kids will have their mom around for a lot more years. My son and daughter are also drinking monavie and Ive seen improvements in their health. My son was getting panic attacks at 10 years of age and those have stopped because I feel his brain finally was functioning right because of omega fatty acids in the juice. This product I feel should be in every refriderator its amazing. If you want to contact me email at neomonavieman@yahoo.com.

Oh yeah forgot to mention, the Patent all of you keep regurgitating about, was DENIED THREE YEARS AGO! Check it out www.uspto.gov type in acai or monavie and you'll see that you are ALL being duped. Shame on you for continuing this charade. Before you idiots preach something as gospel, do a little homework first!!!!!!!!

I doubt that this comment actually gets posted, given the sites purpose, but here goes. You people pushing this crap are INSANE. Just stop and think rationally a minute(if you're capable). Why the secrecy in the product's ingredients? Why are there no extensive research studies done on monavie? If it truly is a healing "magical" juice, why isn't it in grocery stores all over the country? I'll tell you why, because everything you people have been told about this product is BULLS**T! But to regurgitate this nonsense to other people is LUNACY! Why is it that every other "distributors" post on this very blog, are more interested in recruiting people then they are selling their (awesome) product. Let me give you LOSERS a little sales lesson. I own and operate a very successful business, as I have done for the past 15 yrs. If I'm a prospective "business owner" interested in monavie, the first thing I would want to know is WHO is my competition. What is my protected area, and what is the products saturation in my area. A dead give away that this is pyramid SCAM is the fact that any Tom,Dick,or Harry can get a piece in my area. Also, as a prospective "owner" I learn that the majority of my Compensation is through recruiting, not actual sales and/or gross.(pyramid scheme). And finally, I learn that I have to buy up front to keep my "business ownership" going, instead of me selling the product, and then buying more to meet demand needs. Ask yourself this, you Super intelligent entrepreneurs, do you know of, or does anybody you know, know of a single person that has EVER had success working in a MLM type business? Have you ever heard of any body on retirement from Avon? Arbonne? Amway? If it was that easy folks, everyone would be doing it. But I have a sense that none of what I'm saying will register, or breakthrough to you people, so good luck. After this company VANISHES(and it will) overnight, stop and see me, I might give you a job selling 10x20 sections of the Brooklyn Bridge. Until then, keep selling your " super incredible, unbelievably terrifico, 100% to cure absolutely anything that ails ya, except in "distributors" brain retardation, FRUIT JUICE.

To all: I have posted here in the past and will continue to do so as there are alot of queries from all parts of the country flying in. The product, which has been discussed in earlier posts does not cure anything. Effects on people are different and I will only quote myself and the wonders that is has done for me and my family. It was miraculous in the fact that it aided or subsided issues with each and every person that I shared it with. My business is growing rapidly and my upline are Bronze, Gold and Ruby; respectively. If you are interested in a home based, fast, exciting and healthy mechanism to enhance your weekly income...drop me a line or visit my website: www.mymonavie.com/saratoga and lets spread the opportunity one person at a time. I am convinced of its potential and you will be as well.
