A CANCER SURVIVOR'S COMPELLING STORY...

The Following is an email sent from my brother Chas about his ordeal with cancer. Chas had quite a struggle on his hands but with his faith, the faith of our family and God's Good Graces he made it through! Though it was probably the toughest fight of his life he never gave up, he never gave in and now today he is a cancer survivor of almost 9 years. Below, through an email you can read his compelling story and how his introduction to MonaVie has helped with his recovery...

I attached to this e-mail a speech I gave as the honored speaker at an early 2000's American Cancer Society Relay For Life Rally to give you some background on what it was like to learn I had cancer, what is was like fighting cancer, and what it was like being victorious over cancer. In re-reading that speech of almost 6 years ago, I am reminded of the unfortunate changes that the chemotherapy and radiation effected upon my entire intestinal system. The year 2008 marks my 9th year being cancer free. More than that, I will be able to begin a new year with a calmer, healthier intestinal system than I've had since I was released from the hospital on July 5. 1999. My "new year of Health" is due, I believe, to an amazing Brazilian superfood found in God's Gift MonaVie.

You already know that MonaVie is a blend of 19 superfood fruits and how the main fruit, the special Acai berry, declared by real scientists and real doctors as a health gift from heaven, helps repair cellular damage, arrests free-radicals in the body, and actually promotes anti-aging. I'd like to tell you of just one of the many benefits I know to be a fact for me since I began early last July enjoying the health rewards of drinking MonaVie.

After my cancer treatments concluded in late May of 1999, one of my physicians, Dr. Gillette, a truly nationally renowned radiation oncologist told me that although my intestinal system was healed from the 5+ weeks of daily radiation, my intestinal cells were not "the same" as they once were. In short, Dr. Gillette was only telling the half of it. Foods that I loved and enjoyed frequently were not "staying with me". I began to experience a daily diarrhea whenever I ate just about any food and there were times that I'd have to make a bee-line to the bathroom merely from drinking water! Going out to dinner with friends became impossible; I was always ashamed and worried that I'd have to make it to toilet on a second's notice. I was
a big-time traveler who found excitement learning of new locales, new countries, and new people but that became a thing of the past. I couldn't even travel to a movie theatre without fear I'd have an accident. What most people didn't understand then, and still do not "get" today, is that my situation was that once my body "decided" it was going to "move", there was no waiting, stopping, or "holding". I better be near porcelain. It was just a dreadful time because I became a literal recluse in my own home. In the few short months that I began drinking MonaVie, I can now eat many foods that I previously would only rent for a VERY short time. I am going out to dinners with friends and actually NOT running to the men's rooms during meals. Of course, I must still be reasonable. There are still foods that set me off but anymore it's a rare experience. I must be reasonable about what I eat and I can enjoy the balance of the day or evening without furiously galloping to the bathroom. I am not being overly dramatic when I say galloping. Unless a person's been in my shoes, there is just no way to explain what I went through. One business person I had had a couple of dinners out with made the remark that she wasn't going to go out and have dinner with me anymore because she felt she was making me sick, that was her way of letting me know I was ruining her evening. Yep, people are very
uncaring but most importantly here is my point that unless you've been through this you can not imagine the peace of mind I enjoy because of MonaVie. I can not tell enough people about this great juice. Anyone who is not using it is not as healthy as they could be in my opinion. I am not a doctor but I do know that MonaVie has built my health and my health improved without taking loads of pills, fiber mixes, injections, harsh regimens, or chemicals of any kind. Nature is the best way!

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION...

IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE...Have you ever heard this saying, if so have you ever really taken the time to think about what it means and how so very true it is?
If all of us really understood this saying when we were younger we would be living happier healthier lives!

One constant stumbling block I run into when talking to people about MonaVie is that people will tell me that they "don't need it, they are already healthy"! How many people know what it means to be healthy, how many people truly know what it takes to maintain an optimum level of health? There are a lot of health conscious people doing the things that all of us know are good for us, like staying active and getting plenty of exercise, cutting out certain foods and fats that are bad for us, staying away from sugar which can age you prematurely and cause other negative health issues. We learn everyday what not to do and what not to eat, but how often do we really hear exactly what we need to add to our diets, to our daily routine to keep our cells healthy, to keep our bodies running at healthy and optimum levels? MonaVie can do this! It's ironic that the very things people do to stay fit are actually putting a lot of stress on their bodies which can be detrimental to their health in the future. Jogging, walking, exercising and any other physically demanding activities can take a toll on your body. While all of these things are good for you and a big part of staying in shape, they only work if you feed your body the proper nutrients to keep up with the stress load you're putting on your body. If you run daily you're putting a tremendous amount of pressure on your joints constantly and if not properly cared for those joints will wear out! Runners will put a lot of time and money picking out the right pair of shoes to help absorb some of the shock and hopefully take some stress off the joints. Eating the proper nutritional foods can do so much more then an expensive and trendy pair of sneakers! MonaVie hits the jackpot when it comes to nutritional foods! If you keep your body as nutritionally healthy as it can be then the stress you subject your body to through exercise will be minimized.

So why not invest in your "good health" now by wisely choosing to add MonaVie to your health routine! Do all you can through not only daily activity but by eating a good nutritionally sound diet. Don't be fooled into thinking you're doing all you can to live a longer healthier life if you don't eat what your body needs, if you don't give your cells what is necessary to maintain the healthiest state possible. A happy healthy future is in your hands, count your blessings if you can realize this now instead of down the road when it's too late and the damage is done. Take a step now to prevent the kind of damage a lot of us suffer from because we did not truly understand that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!

Please take the time to research for yourself! There are many links on this page to the right and on other sites as well that will help you better understand this good sound advice. If you only choose one link to open please watch the very informative video where Dr. Niles, end stage cancer specialist talks about the benefits of MonaVie and why it works! The Link is under the Educational Heading titled: DR. NILES TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF FRUIT IN YOUR DIET...A MUST SEE VIDEO!!!!!

HITTING THE "NUTRITIONAL JACKPOT"!!!

If you've ever solved a difficult puzzle, found money, won a competition or done just about anything that excited you enough to want to share the news with the world, then you understand the way I feel when I talk about the amazing benefits I have received since beginning to include MonaVie in my daily diet! After only two months of drinking a healthy nutritious fruit juice blend made up of 19 fruits from around the world called MonaVie I am lucky enough to say I have gained remarkable relief from debilitating arthritis pain and I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I have also noticed countless other subtle positive changes in my health and body!

I was so excited about my positive experience with MonaVie I passed on my story to my son hoping this Healthy Fruit Juice would help him as well. My son was born with Occulta Spina Bifida. It is the mildest form of this serious birth defect but none the less it causes him great distress and pain constantly from the crack in one of the vertebra in his spine. Back pain and sleepless nights are just a few of the symptom's he suffers from daily. He was very reluctant and skeptical about the Juice and it wasn't until I asked him to try it as a favor to me to see if it would help him that he agreed to drink this nutritionally powerful juice. After just one week of drinking 4oz. a day of MonaVie Active he called me with a zest in his voice that I had not heard in a long time and very emotionally he began to tell me how good it was to sleep through the night without waking up often to change positions so he could get back to sleep comfortably. He went on to say he woke up feeling more refreshed and did not dread the painful struggle out of bed. He said "I don't care what it takes, I don't EVER want to STOP drinking this juice"! He believes as I do that what is in this juice has given him great relief and he is extremely happy with his results! As his mother, of course I too am pleased that he is experiencing this kind of relief and that is why I continue to pass on the word, to share my story and his so that others may take that first step to a less painful and healthier future!

With MonaVie, I feel like I have found the answer to good health, to a better quality of life! With MonaVie, I feel like I have hit the Nutritional Jackpot and my health is my wealth! With this wonderful product, I feel I have won the battle against disease and pain and the benefits I gained for a brighter healthier future are my gold medals!

Be sure to contact someone in the MonaVie network as well as reputable and accredited outside sources if you want the facts about this healthy nutritious juice blend. Don't listen to anyone who promises overnight miracles, that just simply is not going to happen! The MonaVie Company and its many Independent Distributors do not claim, nor should they, that this product can cure, prevent or diagnose any disease or condition.

Your Health Is Your Wealth!

After hearing about this incredible product MonaVie you may have a deep desire to try it, after all if others found relief so may you! However, something is holding you back, the cost, the price of MonaVie may be the one vital aspect that's keeping you from possibly enjoying relief from daily pain. This amazing product MonaVie is not inexpensive, it has it's price and deservedly so. MonaVie, The Premier Acai Juice Blend was not brought to us overnight, there were many months of studies by Doctors and Scientist alike. After their exhaustive studies in conclusion they found the perfect 19 fruits from around the world that would come to make up this amazing nutrient rich fruit blend that is taking the Health and Wellness industry by storm. The main ingredient in this drink is the Acai Berry from the Brazilian Rain Forest. There are costs associated with harvesting the berry and producing it in a patent pending process that is equalled by none. The MonaVie Company recognized that the only way to harvest and store this "super" berry before it started to lose its nutritional value was to Freeze Dry it and with this process 100% of the nutrients found in the acai berry are retained. No other product on the market containing the acai berry can boast this claim! In MonaVie Active they have added a liquid, all natural, high quality Glucosamine and Esterified Fatty Acids, both of which are added to help maintain healthy joint function! This all contributes the the price of the product!

Now that you have some explanation of the cost of MonaVie. I am going to give you two reasons why you should not let this stand in your way and keep you from adding a valuable healthy supplement to your daily diet for a healthier you.

First, think about it for just a second, what is better taking medicine and being treated after you've become sick or doing all that you can do through exercise and good nutrition to keep your body and cells as healthy as they can be to ward off illness and disease? A healthy body is a body that has a good immune system, can fight off disease and illness and does not go to the doctor and take expensive medicines as often as an unhealthy body! A healthy body cost much less then an unhealthy body and no one can argue with that statement! So from that standpoint staying healthy will possibly keep doctors bills down and future medical bills to a minimum.

Another great reason you should not let the cost of MonaVie deter you from making a move toward a healthier you through this amazing Juice blend is that there are opportunities with the MonaVie Company to become a distributor and purchase your Healthy Juice at wholesale cost as well as endless opportunities for not only good health but great wealth.

I won't go into detail here but it's worth checking into to see what MonaVie can do for your health and well-being while it allows you to make a lucrative living selling a great product you believe in to those who might enjoy the amazing benefits countless others, including myself, have experienced!

Please check out the links on the right side of this page, there are many that give excellent information on the MonaVie product and there are several that will explain in greater detail the business end of this company with endless opportunity for self satisfaction, success and wealth!

What is your health worth to you?

I'd like to address an important question that comes up whenever I am touting the praises of this wonderful product MonaVie, an all natural fruit blend composed of 19 nutrient dense fruits from across the globe with it's star component being, the Acai Berry from the Amazon Rain forest.

After passing on the knowledge about what good nutrition can do for your body and how MonaVie has put the best Nature has to offer in an amazing and powerfully healthy fruit juice blend, it always dumbfounds me that some people are hesitant because of the cost, the cost of a product that has the potential to ward off disease!

From day one when we come into this world our bodies are deteriorating. I know that sounds far out there, but it isn't! Think of our bodies as a machine, let's use a car as an example, when that car is new everything is working in top notch form, but as the car works day in and day out, it starts to show a little wear and eventually does not work quite as it did when it was new. Our bodies work much in the same way, when we are young things work pretty well, but as we age we start to slow down a bit and things just don't work quite the same as they did in our youth.

Now when you have a machine, obviously something has to be put in it to make it run, in the case of a car, that would be fuel! There are different grades of fuel. The higher quality grades of fuel will make your car run better, will keep the engine in better shape, will most likely give that engine, that car, a longer life expectancy. Again, the same goes for our bodies! We need fuel to live, what we eat is our fuel. There are foods that are better for us then others, there are foods that give us many nutritional benefits and there are foods that don't have any nutritional value whatsoever. Logically the foods with high nutritious content are going to give your body what it needs to run well, stay healthy and live a longer life.

There are other vital steps you can take to help a machine last longer, to slow down the deterioration process! With a car, which is mostly made up of metal, metal that rusts, you can use a product on that metal to make it rust resistant, it is something that is easily applied, but may cost you a pretty penny. However, what that rust inhibitor does is well worth the price for it will keep your car looking new and beautiful for a long time. Our machines, our bodies rust much in the same way a car does, this is called oxidation. This oxidation occurs due to the stress of everyday living and there are many outside factors that cause stress to our bodies as well. Oxidation damages your cells which in turn can bring on disease and can age you faster. Fortunately, God provided us with oxidation inhibitors called, antioxidants! Antioxidants are found in nature. When we eat fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants we are helping to rust guard our cells. Loading up our bodies with antioxidants and nutrient dense foods will keep us living longer healthier lives.

Why are we so willing to pay a few extra dollars for higher grades of fuel and rust inhibitors for our automobile care?

Why do we tend to think our bodies are not worth the expense of staying healthy?

After all, you can replace your car!!!

ACAI - THE CROWN JEWEL
The Crown Jewel in the MonaVie Blend is the Brazilian Acai (pronounced "Ah-Sigh-ee") Berry, grown in the fertile SOIL of the Amazon Rainforest.

For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered this unique fruit for its health-promoting properties, used it in the treatment of numerous ailments, and prized it as a source of health and vitality. The remarkable health benefits of acai are continually being validated by modern science. And because of its unparalleled antioxidant levels and superior nutrient content, acai is now widely regarded as one of the world's top superfoods.

ACAI IS RICH IN THE FOLLOWING BENEFICIAL NUTRIENTS:
Antioxidants
Phytonutrients
Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6 and 9)
Amino Acids
Vitamins and Minerals
Complex Carbohydrates
Dietary Fiber
Trace Minerals

ANTIOXIDANTS
The acai berry is one of the most powerful yet delicate fruits in the world. Much of its nutrient content can be lost within 24 hours after harvesting, if not properly processed. MonaVie's unique freeze-drying process captures the full complement of acai's nutritional value. With an ORAC score of 1,027, MonaVie's freeze-dried acai powder boasts antioxidant power higher then any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, on a gram-for-gram basis.

What are antioxidants? Antioxidants prevent free radicals from potentially damaging millions of healthy, functioning cells by donating an electron to unstable free radicals. Experts have stated that obtaining a variety of antioxidants through diet or supplementation is essential to maintaining your good health.

What are free radicals? Free radicals are atoms with at least one unpaired electron. In excess, free radicals produce harmful oxidation that can damage cell membranes, accelerate the aging process, and lead to certain ailments. Tobacco smoke, alcohol, stress, lack of sleep, a poor diet, pollution, and excessive amounts of sunlight are all prolific contributors to the formation of free radicals.

The science and quality assurance that goes into making MonaVie is the difference between a good product and the premier nutritional beverage that is MonaVie. Incorporating the best of science and nature, MonaVie provides you with a variety of benefits.

ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity. This is a scientific way of saying, "How well does a certain antioxidant help my body defend itself against free radical attacks?

The acai berry is the foundation of the MonaVie blend, but 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.

Together, the synergistic effect of the fruits in the MonaVie blend reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish.

Fruits are a great source of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, fiber, and other natural substances to help you look and feel your best. MonaVie offers the benefits of a blend of nutrient-packed fruits in a convenient and delicious juice beverage.

USDA Recommends...
Eating 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, along with physical activity, to promote good health.

CDC Says...(Centers for Disease Control)
Fruit intake is critical to good health. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases.

The Power Of Nature!

Have you ever looked around in wonderment at this amazing world God created? I know I have! Whenever I see a rainbow, a mighty oak tree, or even a simple butterfly I am in awe of God's work! God knew what he was doing when he created this world, he filled it with everything we would need to survive and thrive. This is exactly what I think about when I hear countless stories about the amazing "super" fruit from the Brazilian Rain Forest, The Acai (ah-sigh-ee) Berry! No doubt you have heard about it too, it is making headlines faster then Britney Spears, but in a more positive fashion! I believe everything we need to keep our bodies healthy is right under our nose, right under our feet, literally the soil we walk on is the key to life! The soil has the nutrients that flow through the plants we eat, the plants that also feed the animals we eat. The sun plays an important role doing it's part to nurture and help the plants grow. What grows from this soil give us oxygen, food and in turn good health. Good health that is if we eat from the planet the way God intended! Our bodies are very complex, God knew this and he made it so simple for us to keep these amazing machines running in top notch form, he gave us every thing we need right here on earth to stay healthy and live long lives. But being the mere humans that we are through the years we have strayed from this simple formula! In an effort to make life less hectic and ease the burden of the fast paced world we now live in we have over processed our food to the point that it carries little if any nutritious value! We have bogged down our bodies with substances that our bodies were not meant to handle and not meant to run on. I make the comparison this way, it's like filling the gas tank of your car, which runs on regular gas, with deisel fuel! That engine is going to lock up!!! I think the fairly new discovery of this amazing nutrient dense fruit here in the western culture is no accident, I think God is giving us a wake up call! Statistics will tell you that more Americans are coming down with more diseases then ever before and they are getting sick at an earlier age then ever before. The indigenious people of the rain forest have known for years what this astounding little berry is capable of doing and the healing power it possesses! We Americans need this powerful fruit now more then ever! God put many wonderful nutritious foods on earth to sustain us, it's up to us to make the right choices to let us live healthy and long lives! Everything we need is right here in nature, Nature is a Powerful and Wonderful thing!

"IT'S THAT SIMPLE"

A very dear friend asked me today why I say MonaVie has helped me when I am still in pain? My answer is simple! First, I don't claim, nor does the company, that MonaVie can cure or prevent any disease, condition or ailment, but what it can do is add vital nutrients to your daily diet that most people just don't get enough of to keep their bodies in an optimum state of health. Armed with these important nutrients your body can fight off many diseases and even begin to heal itself. This is what it has done for me and I can say this because I have experienced it first hand. I am not saying I am without pain completely, but after only one month of drinking as little as 4 ounces a day I have received a considerable amount of relief from the constant pain in my arthritis riddled knees. I've noticed a huge reduction in the inflamation in my knees where a lot of the pain was originating. Comparing the pain currently experienced to Pre-MonaVie days, I can honestly say it is more of a discomfort now than an unbareable ache! I have also enjoyed several other wonderful affects from the MonaVie Juice Blend. I have noticed a healthier glow to my skin and it's softer to the touch, I have noticed that I have a bit more energy now then before and I can move more freely, my knees don't feel like they're always locked in place. I believe all of these changes are due to the healthful ingredients in the MonaVie Fruit Blend. I drink the MonaVie Active with added Glucosamine for my joints. Everything in this powerful drink is natural and full of the nutrients our bodies need to be healthy and running smoothly. This drink is a Food, not a Drug so how could it be anything but good for you! Over 100 nutrient dense fruits from across the globe were scientifically evaluated, 19 were chosen for their high nutritious value to be apart of this amazing drink, with the Acai Berry as the star ingredient. The high antioxidant content is the key to it's success! Inflammation is the enemy of the body, it is where all health problems seem to originate. The MonaVie Blend has the ingredients to fight this inflammation and feed your cells what they need to be healthy again...healthy cells ward off desease, it's that simple!

Please come back to my blog often, read and or listen to the links I have posted and will be posting in the near future...these will contain additional important and vital information!
Future posting will explain why MonaVie Fruit Blend is a good way to get your daily recommended requirements.

ACAI & TARGETED HEALTH CONCERNS

This article was written by Dr. Hugo Rodier for the "Health Journal"...

There are five chief diseases that are plaguing many Americans today. These diseases include: fibromyalgia, depression, arthritis, diabetes and high blood pressure together with heart diseases and strokes. Through my research I found the acai fruit may be beneficial in combating a number of deseases. The low content of antioxidents and anti-inflammatory micronutrients in our processed diets is aggravated by toxins in the environment, which cause free radicals to disperse throughout the body. Free radicals, byproducts of daily living, are neutralized by good nutrients - antioxidants. A lack of antioxidants can cause our cell membranes to "TOIL", become Toxic, Oxidized, Inflamed and Lacking energy. Our terrian is then fertile ground for disease to take root. The action of the antioxidants and micronutrients in the acai berry help to heal TOILing cell membranes, thus improving our cell communication and metabolism, which leads to better tissue health by better detoxification of inflammatory toxins. Here is an overview of the five health concerns and the benefits that acai has to offer.

FIBROMYALGIA: Fibromyalgia is an illness characterized by chronic pain that includes muscle aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness and fatigue and sleep disturbances. Modern research shows fibromyalgia is a desease of poor cell metabolism and a breakdown in cell communication. The nutrients in the acai berry can heal the metabolism in cells, thus increasing the energy available for these cells to carry out their function. The cells in our connective tissues are then better equipped to detoxify, thus reducing the pain of fibromyalgia. Acai also has many anti-inflammatory micronutrients that directly neutralize the messages of inflammation.

DEPRESSION: By the year 2020, depression will be the second most common diagnosis for Americans. Why? We live very stressful lifestyles, consume empty calories rich in refined sugars and are exposed to significant toxins in the environment from polluting technologies. Depression results in our bodies having sub-optimal levels of micronutrients to maintain proper brain function. Like before, the nutrients in acai heal metabolism in our cells, thus increasing energy in cells. The cells in our brains are better equipped to function, produce energy and communicate via neurotransmitters, like serotonin. The high content of omega oils, B vitamins and amino acids in acai help produce better neurotransmitters, thus improving brain cell communication and reducing the chances of mental dysfunction.

ARTHRITIS: "Time Magazine" and the "World Health Organization" both agree that the first decade of the 21st century will be known as the decade of bone and joint disease. Society is aging and we live with poor diets, toxic environments and excessive stress This causes one-third of Americans to suffer from some form of joint disease. By the year 2020, 40 million Americans will be diagnosed with a type of arthritis. Foreign substances, such as heavy metals, air pollution and chemicals are known to create "immune complexes" when attacked by our immune system. The battle results in antibodies that may end up attacking our own joints. Acai nutrients also improve our immune system, thereby minimizing the damage that could occur to cell membranes throughout our body, particularly cells in our joints.

DIABETES: We face a deadly epidemic of diabetes and obesity in our country today. In fact, one-third of our children will be diabetic as adults. While it is true that some have genetic disposition to insulin restistance, the vast majority of people suffer from these conditions due to poor diets, stress and lack of activity. By healing our intestines, improving micronutrient absorption and healing the detoxification pathways of the liver and intestines, we end up healing our cell membranes. Acai can assist you in doing so, thereby reducing your risk and the problems associated with diabetes. Some worry that the elevation of blood sugar while consuming fruits like the acai berry is a sign that acai is not good for diabetics. This is not correct. Not eating fruits leads to a lack of antioxidants that are essential to build and fuel cell membranes. Also, refraining from fruits can leave people dissatisfied and craving sugar, especially refined foods. And so they succumb to the temptation of eating simple carbohydrates and processed foods high in refined sugars. They would have been better off satisfying their sweet tooth with fruits like the acai.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE AND STROKE: About half of Americans die from high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Fortunately, 80 percent of those deaths could be prevented by changing the toxic lifestyles at the root of these diseases. Hypertension, heart disease and strokes are problems that start with cell membranes lining our arteries. By improving the health of our intestines, acai increases the levels of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) that are indispensable to the health of cell membranes lining the arteries. The high amino acid content of the acai berry is also helpful in reducing the risk of heart disease. Acai is also high in monounsaturated essential oils, fats and trace minerals, which are indispensable for cell membrane, insulin and arterial health.

"You Are What You Eat"

Does that saying ring a bell? You've heard it a million times but have you ever stopped to really think about it? That saying is more true then most of us realize! Our bodies need fuel to run efficiently and what we eat, what we put in our mouths is our fuel, it's what gives us energy, it's what keeps our bodies running at optimum levels...A healthy body is running at optimum levels! Most Americans do not get the daily requirements of nutrients needed to keep our bodies working properly and maintain a healthy state. In this fast paced society most of what we eat is processed therefore a lot of it's nutritional value has been depleted. Most of the produce we consume is picked well before it ripens in the fields and on the trees but few people know that most of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables are obtained through the last stages of ripening on the plant. In the coming weeks, I will post articles and recorded interviews by accredited individuals who will explain how important nutrition is to your health and wellbeing, why the Acai Berry is gaining much deserved national attention and how MonaVie is helping to bring this Berry into your home, not only for it's nutritional components but as a satisfying and lucrative business opportunity as well!

INTRODUCTION

I'm a Mother of two grown children and like most Mother's we tend to put our families before ourselves, but as we take care of others we let ourselves be deprived of many important and vital elements, such as good nutrition and good health. We never realize that we must stay healthy if we are to nurture others. I had not taken care of myself for many years...never getting enough sleep and heaven knows never eating a well balanced diet. With all of this stress and a severe lack of proper nutrients my body began to shut down. Headaches, allergies, skin rashes, muscle weakness and arthritis were taking over my body.
