Mona Vie Week 10

I had to do without it for a week on my cruise.

By the 5th day of my cruise,  my shoulder pains had returned. 

So yes,  I believe the lack of drink had something to do with that.

Here's an excerpt from my sponsor on a speaker for the drink...

Monarch Industries started around 1970 and originated the Hollywood fat farms (57
Wellness Centers). Dr. Carson was the first with the concept of getting cardiac
patients out of bed right away after surgery. The doctors of the day thought he was
nuts! Now, it is common practice! He also started aerobics when it was not generally

accepted! He was ahead of his time then too!When a chemist sees the many colors of the fruits in MV, he sees different molecular structures from the nutrients (which is good)!

The antioxidants that help our bodies the most do not come from
vitamins…they come from phytonutirents in fruits and vegetables! These are
called androgeneous antioxidants.
Wine has antioxidants in it. MV has 33 times the Anthocianides and 10 times the
Bioflavanoides as wine! These are necessary for cellular repair and improved
nutrient absorbancy into the body! And no toxic alcohol to boot!
Since 1990, they have discovered over 190,000 types of phytonutrients! This shows
how recent phytonutrients have been discovered to be essential in our daily food
intake! Hmmmm! What if your doctor has been practicing for 20-40 years?
When you tell people to check with their doctor about MV, keep in mind that the
average doctor of tenure has had about a week’s training on nutrition! Thier
years of study and patient relationships are based on treatment with drugs and
medication. Drugs and medication do not cure anything. They surpress discomfort and
mask pain so that your body can heal. MV goes to the source of your immune system to
help your body heal faster! We need doctors…but doctors that have influence
over what patients think and believe, need to be more aware of the whole food power
of MV in people’s diets (Strictly my opinion here)!
Only 11% of the people in the United States consume 3 fruits and vegetables a day
(national average). Harvard Studies now say that 9-11 are needed daily by everyone!
MV in 2 daily servings provides the equivelent of your nutrient requirements!
Any food that is processed is basically low in nutrition.
“Fruits and vegetables (and much of our processed foods today) are
genetically engineered, most with steroids!”
Obeisity is at epidemic proportions in the Unitied States. Michigan is the 3rd
worst state when it comes to people being overweight…at 60%! Being overweight
is inflammation. Inflammation is responsibile for over 1000 debilitating diseases,
deaths, and illnesses in North America!
The US has only 4 1/2 of the world’s population, but we consume 42% of the
world’s supply of drugs and medication! Why? Stress and poor nutrition!
Think about the ads you see in magazines and on TV now regarding new drugs! They
always advise of the many side affects that can occur. Side affects that will
require the neccesity for other drugs to counter act! Use your own thoughts to
follow this line of thinking! My thoughts: Why not go to the source of our poor
health issues and clean up our cells? “Anything in synthetic liquid, pill, or
capsule form does not cure you!...plus consider side affects!”
“19 fruits a day offers the full color spectrum!”
“There have been independent studies by credible authorities such as the
Department of Agriculture and the Harvard School for Public Health who randomly
perform tests on MV bottles over the past 2 1/2 years, and not one bottle has
produced even a trace of heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides in it! In fact, the
purity tests for MV prior to placing in the bottles have been scrutinized far more
rigorously than any bottled water that you purchase in stores!”
You will notice that the calories in MV are quite low. There are only 4 grams of
complex sugars in every ounce, however, the fact that they are considered
“complex sugars” means they are easily broken down and not harmful like
pure grain!
When you compare MV to anything else on the market…tell people to look at
the ingredients of other products! They will usually find that the competition
product’s main ingredient…is water! There is no water in MV! It is all
fruit puree consisting of 14% solids! Other juice blends have a few fruits (most are
reconstituted and clarified) and then blended with water! Calrified means they take
most of the skin, pulp and seeds out, which contain over 90% of the nutrients of
fruits and vegetables! Even the more dense makeup of the competition has only 3-5%
solids in them! Nutritious? Yes…to some extent. Compared to
MV…Sorry…No comparison when it comes to preserving your cells and
re-stablizing your immune system’s free radicals! Also…consider the
selection of fruits in MV! Some you may have never heard of! Also, there are no
citrus fruits in MV that can compromise drugs and medications prescribed by
doctors.
“MV gets your body back!”
“With MV, you don’t need
something to get you through the day!”
Acai is getting all the buzz lately! If you do your due diligence and read about
MV’s Opti-Acai Patent…you will come to know the huge difference for why
MV has the Premium Acai (among other reasons)!
MV now offers liquid glucosamine in the form of a plant derrivitive in it’s
Active blend! This is going to be huge folks! Learn why!
“The average person has over 55 trillion cells. MV balances the blood pH
and gets the toxins out of the body so the body can heal itself!”
Cancer is simply an abnormal growth of cells originating from your DNA. MV supplies missing electrons to your unstable free
radicals that stop them from searching in your DNA for
them! When they are unstable, they steal electrons from anywhere they can, even in
your DNA, initiating the abnormal cellular growth cycle!
Hmmmmm! With the many inflammation issues we suffer from that create unstable free
radicals, is it any wonder why we are in such poor health in the US? Remember, the
leading causes of inflammation in our bodies is (1) oxidative stress, and (2) poor
nutrition!
 “When you sometimes initially feel worse from taking 
MV…it’s a negative reaction to a positive change in your body!”
Back off in the servings a bit until your body adjusts to something good it
hasn’t had in so many years, then; up your servings until the inflammation
goes away! For really severe inflammation issues such as surgery, arthritis,
diabetes, and so many others, you may want to up your servings for a few weeks until
you feel positive changes in your energy level and aches and pains start melting
away…then, reduce the servings to normal to maintain that status.
12 months ago, XXX distributor number was 199246. We signed a new
distributor up the other day and his number was over 735,000! Is the word spreading,
or what? Wait until after this month when some exciting things are about to happen!

That was an excerpt from the email.
I agree with three things:  
1)  increased energy
2) decreased joint pain
3) increased exercise tolerance 




That has been my experience.


All of the rest of the stuff, true or not,  is really a matter of research debate
in a relatively young field of nutritional science


My next post is a summary of some of the hard bench research being done on the benefits of berries and their compounds, for which Mona Vie, with 19 different varieties,  including the acai berry is being consumed. 

I occasionally get emails from folks wondering why it's not FDA approved, can it be used to treat x or y.  

Please understand,  this is a functional food beverage.  It is not considered a drug and so it is not under the rules and regulations of the FDA.  It is however, a food, just like the stuff you put in your mouth every day.  I highly concentrated formula with extensive array of healthy natural compounds.

It has nutritional benefits that, while not "randomized in a control trial",  are part of a healthy lifestyles initiative that over 700,000 people have experienced.  

So yeah,  call me crazy if you want.  My blinders as a doctor are not limited by my one week of nutritional medicine I received in medical school.  If you're looking for a cure for something,  don't come looking here.  If you're looking for an addition to a healthy lifestyle than I have no problem spreading the word about this product and my experience with it.

And yes, it is sold only in a network marketing distribution.  

I think of it as shopping at Sam's Club.  You can't buy the product without being a member. 

Big deal.  I'd rather buy it at Sam's, than not at all.  Anyway...
