My husband has pd and he ran into a guy who's aunt, at 43 has pd. She has been taking this product (it's a berry found in the rain forest) for one year and her health has improved greatly. It's the most powerful antioxident, found to date. Yes, it's very expensive but I thought I would share this information.
Perhaps others have heard of this natural juice?
If you google it, it's been on all the news.
Hey, I figure, what can it hurt...we ALL need some hope now and then!

" It's very expensive - about $47 for a wine-sized bottle.

There are many other products containing the acai berry. Some are liquid and others are supplements. Most are a lot less expensive than Monavie. I've just seen a product in our weekly grocery flyer that contains blueberry/acai. I don't know how much acai one has versus the other. But this stuff at the store is only about $4 for 64 oz. Blueberries are also a great source of anti-oxidants. That being said - who even knows if this stuff about acai is true. I've seen many of these wonder things come and go over the course of my life.

Monavie is a multi-level marketing product and you'll probably get hit up to be a distributor. "

" I've been doing some checking and from what I can see Monavie doesn't divulge how much acai is in their product. Kind of strange when you consider they're touting it's benefits.

I did see where one person opined (don't know their source) that it was something like 14%. But you only drink 2 oz. a day - two shot glasses. How much acai could be in those 2 oz.? "

" I HAVE BEEN DRINKING SOMETHING CALLED VEMMA. IT COST 70.00 FOR 1 MONTH. I DON'T FEEL ANY BETTER. I WILL PROBABLY STOP WHEN I FINISH WHAT I HAVE ORDERED. IT DOES HAVE ALL THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS WE NEED. BUT IF IT DON'T HELP WHY SPEND THE MONEY. DEDE "

" MonaVie can be purchased wholesale for between 22.50 a bottle and 32.50 a bottle. Each 2 ounce serving gives you the equivalent in phytonutrients and antioxidants of 13 servings of fruit from the whole spectrum of colors. You can't get that in any other product. You are under NO obligation to sell it to anyone else unless you WANT to have a home business. It is a unique product that makes no health claims, however 90% of the people who have tried it have noticed significant changes in their health, myself included. I do not have PD, but I have several friends with the disease and they are all eager to see what it will do for them. One of them has been drinking it for a few months now and has noticed changes in his health. He is very excited and has increased his daily juice intake. The great thing about it is that it is just fruit so anyone who can eat fruit can drink it. Oh, by the way, not all Acai products are the same. The process is important and the time from picking to processing is very important. Search Dr. Schauss on youtube and watch the Video where he talks about the freeze-drying process used by MonaVie. It is very eye-opening. This is the man who has done the major research on the berry so you know he knows what he is talking about. I wish you all the best in finding better health. It is so important and yet those of us with good health often take it for granted. There are many new discoveries daily, but drugs are so dangerous. My own mother died from properly prescribed and administered drugs. "

" I need to correct my statement on the servings--every 4 ounces of monavie gives the equivalent of 13 servings of fruit. Or every recommended daily servings (2 two ounce servings). I hope that clears it up. thanks "

" just wanted to let you all know that Monavie has a special way of freeze drying the Acai so it doesn't lose its potency. They do this all in Brazil and they give back to the country and give jobs housing and hope to the peole, they donate about 250,000 a month. The product is not as expensive as you think? If you were to buy organic, vine ripend fruits and vegtable it would be more expensive than the bottle whe=ich is 91 servings, about 39cent s a serving, really one starbucks a day for your health, they are many stories , myself included on what this product has done for people.... i would be happy to give you more info if your interested. It has helped me alot... "

" I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but I think people should go with the cheapest thing first....

Low Dose Naltrexone is the cheapest thing out there ($10 a month) and you can join an LDN group on Daily Strength of people like me who are on this. No side effects. Ok, so it won't get rid of your PD but it may just stop the progression. Look into it and I think from there, add other products that you think could be beneficial.

Of course, it's just my opinion!
Best to all,

" Cheap does not always mean best. Quality is always best. It is the difference between a Mercedes Benz and a Yugo. How many Yugos do you see on the road today? The reason is because they were a poorly/cheaply made vehicle, not meant to last. The fact is that MonaVie works to help your body be as healthy as it can be. Free Radical damage is a big concern in our society because we have poor eating habits, toxic pollution, and major stress. Chronic inflammation is the cause of most disease, this has been reported in the news a lot lately. Fruit is a NATURAL anti-inflammatory. The reason MonaVie works to help us become healthier is because it is 100% fruit, and not just fruit, but wildly grown organic fruit so it has higher nutrient content than the so called organic stuff you buy in the store. Ounce for ounce it is a better deal than cheap! "

" It is fear, most people live their lives in fear of the unknown, and I think in part it is the fact that no one trusts anyone any more. Everyone is suspicious of your motives. When I became a MonaVie distributor it was because I know so many people who could benefit from this product. Sadly, they reject MonaVie because all they see is scam without taking a look at the benefits. It breaks my heart. I know what it has done for me. My deepest desire is to see my family and friends healthy. Yet on the counter side, so many trust doctors and pharmaceutical companies and take anything that is given to them without thought about side effects. There has never been any drug which has cured any disease. That is a fact. In fact I think it is the Food Matters trailer that points out that 100,000+ people die annually from properly prescribed drugs. This doesn't even include medical errors that number in the 200,000s annually. No thanks! That is some scary stuff. God created us to be healthy so why aren't we? There has to be a better way. "
