~My Story~

Hey! I'm Kacie and I have just become a Mona Vie juice distributor. I am so excited to be apart of a business that provides an all natural way to relieve joint and muscle pain, lower bad cholesterol and high blood pressure and just feel good overall. I have never felt better. When I was 7, I was diagnosed with Craniopharyngioma (tumor on the Pituitary gland). A couple weeks after my 7th birthday I went in for surgery at Doernbecher Children's Hospital to remove the tumor. Having the surgery saved my life, but in return I have a weak immune system and diabetes insipidus: which is the deficiency of a hormone made by the pituitary that regulates the kidneys. Also, it prevented me from being able to produce other "womanly" hormones. So on top of medication to strengthen my immune system so I dont get sick, I take medication to control my bladder and extreme thirst, medication for "womanly" hormones and even more medication to deal with my thyroid. Fun stuff huh? Anyway, as a result I have gained weight. And that made it hard on my muscles and joints. So, with knee pain, on-and-off back pain and a weaker than normal immune system, I was in pretty bad shape. I often limped from my knee pain and sometimes woke up almost paralyzed from back pain. Years later, after trying exercise and vitamins and pain pills, my sister introduced me to MonaVie juice. I was very reluctant to try it because I am a very picky eater and I thought that something THAT healthy would just taste aweful. I downed by first drink of the juice without even letting it touch my tongue. Wanting me to really taste the juice, my older sister forced me to drink some more. Not wanting to feel the wrath of my older sister, I drank it. And it was fantastic! I couldnt believe something that was so healthy, that had so many fruits, antioxidants and other nutrients in it could taste so freakin good. From then on I was hooked. I even signed up to be my own distributor so I could get the juice at a wholesale price and make an extra income on the side by sharing the juice with others. And let me tell you what the juice has donw for me: I dont have hardly any knee pain, NO back pain, no headaches, I have a LOT more energy, I lost 15 lbs so far and I am finally going to bed before 2 am! It gives me energy during the day so I can burn it so I can fall asleep at a regular bedtime. I cant wait to see how much my bad cholesterol and blood pressure has dropped at my next doctor appointment! I am so greatful for this juice and how its made me feel. I am currently sharing it with friends and family and I hope you will do the same.

Just to let you know: Açai = AH-SIGH-EE

For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered this unique fruit for its health-promoting properties and prized it as a source of health and vitality. The remarkable health benefits of açai are continually being documented by modern science. And because of its unparalleled antioxidant levels and extraordinary nutrient content, açai is now widely regarded as one of the world's top superfoods.Açai is rich in the following beneficial nutrients:-Antioxidants -Phytonutrients -Amino acids -Vitamins -Trace minerals.While the açai berry serves as the foundation for each of MonaVie’s vital formulas, with literally thousands of phytonutrients and antioxidants found in nature’s fresh fruits, MonaVie didn’t want to focus on just one at the expense of others. This led to MonaVie’s scientists and product development team selecting additional fruits whose synergistic union would reach far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish. These specially selected fruits have been exclusively combined to create MonaVie’s premier balanced blends.Designed for easy absorption in the body, just 2–4 ounces of MonaVie per day provides you with the phytonutrients and antioxidants found in many of the world's most nutritious fruits—including açai.Açai contains concentrated levels of anthocyanins—a powerful family of antioxidants that assists in neutralizing the harmful effects free radicals can have on your body.

A Little Science for ya!

The Mona Vie açai juice is squeezed from a berry grown on the açai palm. Each berry is under an inch in size, and looks more like a large grape than anything. They also contain quite a large seed that is planted, used for fertilizer, or made into jewelry. The Mona Vie açai berries are a superb source of important fatty acids plus oleic acid (Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9) and phytosterols (compounds of plant cell membranes), which, all combined, reduce the bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. The açai berries also contain amino acids and vital trace elements needed for muscle contraction and regeneration. They provide a source of dietary fiber (which is excellent for dietary tract health). Possessing vitamins A and E, high levels of calcium, and phosphorus, as well as high concentrations of polyphenols, making it a great source of antioxidants. In fact, it is a much better source of antioxidants, compared to foods such as oranges, blueberries, and even red wine. Completed studies show a link between the use of antioxidants and increased longevity, and the antioxidants help in the fight against premature aging, cardiovascular, cancer, and ophthalmological (eye) diseases, and other age-related degenerative problems. Açai may also boost brain activity, make the skin healthy and supple, support healthy cholesterol levels, and provide natural energy. Comparing Mona Vie açai juice to milk, Mona Vie provides 3 times as many lipids, 118 times more iron, 9 times as much Vitamin B1, 7 times as many carbohydrates, and 8 times as much Vitamin C. However, they only have half as much phosphorus as milk.

OH NO! Not Free Radicals!!! ...but what are they?

Environmental sources of free radicals include radiation (I.E., sun exposure, X-rays), ozone and nitrous oxide, heavy metals (i.e., mercury, cadmium, lead), smoke, alcohol, saturated fat, and other chemicals and pollutants. The body itself generates free radicals in performing essential bodily functions including energy production and immune activities. Fortunately, the body also has the ability to create antioxidants to neutralize the free radicals and prevent extensive cellular damage. When free radicals are not neutralized by antioxidants, they inflict large-scale cellular damage which can cascade and lead to age-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and age –relaged macular degeneration. For example, free radical damage to joint cells may cause the cartilage to become rough or break down, and can lead to the development of osteoarthritis. Antioxidants are needed to comb at free radicals and prevent this cellular damage. “Oxidative stress can lead to DNA mutations, cell death, and disease, all of which contribute to aging,” said Gerald R. Cysewski, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Cyanotech corp. “Antioxidants are produced naturally by the body to combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. Increasing the amount of antioxidants in one’s system by consumption of supplements can provide further protection from the damaging effects of free radicals.” Because the body is continually assaulted by free radicals, antioxidant supplementation is often necessary. “by taking certain nutrients that our bodies stop producing over time, supplements help us to maintain a youthful look and health, which in turn enhances the quality of life,” Alkayali said. “Furthermore, supplements can help decrease oxidative stress that may otherwise accompany age-related illness and disease.”

Calling all Athletes!

Here are some personal stories that I have aquired from blogs and forums. These are written by real people, with real medical issues, who have had real results with MonaVie.

~MonaVie and Asthma~

___by Linda___"My name is Linda, I have been drinking Monavie Active, the 100% natural health drink with the acai berry, daily since January for my asthma. I have cut my Advair dosage in 1/2 and have not used my Albuterol or my steroid nasal spray once since drinking this product!"___________________________________________________ ___________ ___by Julie___"I've been drinking it for about 4 months now and I love it. My husband suffers from asthma and I just started him on it about a month ago. The Monavie has also helped him with his asthma. I thought it was a scam at first, but once I stop taking it, is when I feel sluggish and have less energy. By the way, it also helps to go #2. If you want, I can tell the person that I buy it from and you can get it from her. It gets shipped to me monthly."

~MonaVie and Crohn's~

___by Kim___ "Hey! I have Crohns Disease and have started doing MonaVie about a month ago! I will never go a day w/out it. I haven't felt this good in 10 yrs. My energy is up and my mouth ulcers are gone. My migraines aren't happening! My arthritis is gone! My case of Crohns is so severe that I had my entire colon removed when I was in High School 16 yrs ago. They had me diagnosed w/ ulcerative colitis at that time. I was never told to go off fruit and all of my doctors from MUSC to Duke- have said mine was a SEVERE case. They checked me and the ulcers had eaten through the first layer of the colon and they rushed me in an ambulance to Duke b/c they said if it ate through the 2nd layer- I could die. They had to give me blood transfusions b/f they could do surgery. I was on more prednisone than transplant patients take and it still progressed this far. The Monavie has made me feel like I don't even have Crohns. It is a miracle drink. I wasn't planning on being a distributor, but I decided to b/c I want EVERYONE to try it!! My kids are also drinking it and I feel so much better knowing they are getting something really good for them. How else can you send your kid off to school w/ a better breakfast? Have a great night- KIM"

~Mona Vie Juice Has Great Promise In HIV/AIDS Complications At A Fraction Of Cost~

___Posted by Richard Nielsen___ "I have been diagnosed with HIV since August of 2005 and the Ryan White was a program that made it possible to get the care I so desperately needed. I am living in SW Florida and moved here to be treated by a specialist who was one of the best at caring for those infected with HIV. I have not been disappointed in the least with his care or the social programs that have made his services available to me.After months of treatment for complications from the drugs including, but not limited to high blood pressure, a cholesterol of 535, elevated liver functions and more, the drugs seemed to reach a point where they just were not helping me, in fact they were causing me harm. That was when I decided to start drinking Mona Vie juice. A premier blend of 19 fruits from around the world including the Acai berry from Brazil as their crowning jewel. This delicious juice has done more for helping me back to health than any other food or drug regiment. After just six months on the juice I have seen a huge reduction in my cholesterol from 535 to 108. I will be tested this moth and expect to see my cholesterol below 99. After months of my cd4 hovering around 260 or less, my count has now increased to 420. My blood pressure has normalized and my blood sugar has also be reduced to normal and acceptable parameters. I was treated for colon cancer in 2005 and the treatments affected my feet and I experienced foot drop in both feet and a neuropathy in my legs and feet. Twenty months ago, my neurologist said I would never walk again. Today I walk my dog twice a day and though a bit clumsy, I get around just fine. The pain medication amitriptyline, 150mg and gabapentin, 300mg, both huge doses, are no longer necessary to control the pain in my feet. These are remarkable improvements in my quality of life and though, I can not say it was because of Mona Vie, I can say I did nothing different to make these quantitative improvements except drink Mona Vie. Today there are hundreds of thousands of folks who are drinking this wonderful juice and feeling better because of it. It seems to me that if good nutrition is convenient and assist the body to repair itself then a revolution is at hand to make this juice available to all, especially to the poor. It seems amazing to me that we will allow billions of dollars to go to drug companies to develop drugs with harmful side effects and most do not even work or worse cause damage, and yet a juice that can bring good health is over looked and even ridiculed. If good nutrition can be the first and best course, then why is not more being done in this arena?"

~Mona Vie...Don't Knock It Till You Try It!~

___posted by Anon___ "I too was skeptical until my I tried it...my joint pain is completely gone. My mom has Macular Degeneration which causes leakage behind her eyes...which caused her to loose her central vision. She has been getting shots, in her eyes,to stop the leaking. Nothing has helped. She was drinking Mona Vie for about a month when I took her for yet another shot and the Doctor said the leaking STOPPED!! My father-in-laws blood pressure and cholesterol has dropped significantly since drinking the Mona Vie...the doctor said that whatever he is doing,keep doing it! As for Mona Vie being on the News...its all over the news. Just look and you will find it. Alot of the top Athletes are now drinking it. The health benefits are astounding, I feel sorry for all the people that are missing out on it!"

~Mon a Vie~

___Anonymous___ "I am glad to read that you are open minded. I am one skeptical person and when I heard about the Acai berry juice, which is what Monavie is, I also "gave it a try." The reason is because I have played sports for voer 35 years, and my hips and knee joints were really starting to ache. I started taking HA (hyaloranic acid) and that really helped. (see prodigyproducts.com - no I am NOT associated with them whatsoever)! But I hate taking tablets or any kind of medication or natural "pills" of any kind....so I tried Monavie.I have been "on" Monavie Active for over a month now - almost every time I walk past the fridge, I take a slug. You cannot OD on this stuff! And I have felt better physically, emotionally, and mentally in a long time! I am 53 years old and quite active. I have my neighbors taking it, too. One is a former NFL player and his wife was a stunt woman in Hollywood. They were both on 15 Advils a day!! And they have since cut those in half. I have stopped taking HA, too. The juice gives me whatever it is/was my body was missing.I will NEVER say it cures anything, but from personal experience, I swear by it. IN order to keep the costs down, I signed up as a Monavie consultant and three couples go in together to split the Mega case. We figure it's about $20 a bottle that way.....and we drink that in WINE every week anyway..... Good luck, and don't feel pressure. Do what YOUR body tells you - and do your research just like you did here."

~my story~

___by Jeremy___"so here is my story. i have been snowboarding for 15 years and have always been the guy who never gets hurt and even with bad falls always seemed to come out without a scratch. i had been dubbed "the rubber band man" around my home mountain. i snowboard most of the year, around pennsylvania in the winter and mt hood oregon in the spring/summer.so like i said i never seemed to get hurt much, that all changed about 15 months ago when i was at mt hood last summer. first off in the begining of june i broke 3 ribs and tore some cartilige between them when i cased a fairly large jump. that was the start to my bad luck streak. so about 3 weeks of no riding and then i get back into it slowly and also start skateboarding again. i go for a few weeks and am right back in the groove of things. i am riding halfpipe one day working on a trick that i had wanted to learn for some time. i finally land it and ask a friend to film the next one. so of course i try to go bigger and better than the time before. long story short i messed up bad and fell 20+ feet to my lower back. i compression fractured t8 and t9 vertebras. that was the end of my snowboarding for the summer.so 8 weeks go by and i start to skateboard again. one day i take a horrible slam to my hip and hairline fracture it. my hip was swollen to the point that i could not fit in my jeans.so i fully heal and winter comes along and im snowboaring again. one day i am riding half pipe and i take an awkward fall and land on my knee on the icy flat bottom. i completely tore my lateral meniscus.so as you can see i have reason to be sore and in pain. and let me tell you i was. i had a very hard time getting comfortable in any position i lay. my back always feels out of place and i had a hard time bending my knee fully.so i learned of a product called mona vie that is an acai juice blend that also has glucosamine and fatty acids. i was very skeptical that a juice could help me but a friend let me try it for free so why not. after 1 week i did feel better but i wasnt sure if it was placebo or the juice. but it was enough for me to try it some more. i have been drinking the juice for a month now and i honestly feel the best i have in over a year. i no longer wake up completely stiff and i have no pain fully bending my knee.i am now starting with the business and am very excited about it since my market is virtually untapped.Jeremy."

~Monavie improved Dad's blood pressure!~

___Anonymous___"After a coworker experienced improved blood pressure with Monavie, I turned my dad onto it. He has been overweight and has had high blood pressure his entire adulthood. His BP was running 150/90+ and that was WITH his medicines! After 6 weeks, his blood pressure is now 118/70. The only thing he did differently was add a couple of onces of Monavie to his diet everyday!"

~It's not just Juice...It is HOPE in a bottle!!~

___by Aaron Morris___"It works.I am 6' 3", used to be 230lbs. I now weigh in a 215. My Cholsterol dropped 20 points. Blood Pressure is down to Athlete level. Body fat dropped from 25% to 12% and still dropping.My family has a history of Diabetes and I am not even trying to hear that thanks to Mona Vie.I am only 35 but due to stress from Varsity Football, Basketball, Farm Ball with the Colorado Springs Skysox and Reading Phillies, Collegiate Soccer, Track, Boxing, Martial Arts, Motocross, Skiing, and GOLF 4 times a week my knees have taken a beating and I have started to develope painful arthritis. My back is in bad shape because of injuries sustained on the above activites and it used to affect my sleep. Not anymore thanks to Mona Vie. I have a 2 and 5 year old and not being able to bend down to play with them pained me emotionally. NOT ANY MORE THANKS to MONA VIE.My grandfather has Type II Diabetes and is 88 years old, he is a veteran of WWII and we lost our grandmother (his wife) 3 months ago due to complication of phneumonia. My grandfather was badly fractured in WWII when a cannon projectile struck the Howitzer Cannon he was manning and nearly killed him. To this day, he has been dealing with weight issues, arthritic ankles, knees, hips, high blood pressure and the loss of his hearing in both ears. His mobility was zero resulted in confinement to a wheelchair. Since I put him on Mona Vie 1 month ago, my mother visits him every day and they go for 20 minute walk twice a day. His pain, wieght, has been reduced, 4 of his 6 medications for diabetes are no longer needed. At the time I put him on Mona Vie he was recovering from Surgery to place hearing implants in his skull. His doctor was blown away at his speed of recovery and lack of swelling and pain.THE BUSINESS PLAN IS NO JOKE BUT WITHOUT THE INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY AND CREAATION OF MONA VIE, NONE OF US WOULD HAVE THIS EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OUR FELLOW MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD!"
