Zach,

You should see how it is packaged! It comes in this heavy duty cardboard box reinforced and padded inside. Very similar to a case of fine wine...The bottle is beautiful, and again looks like a wine bottle...maybe if they changed the packaging and put it in containers like gatorade...they could market it for less than $39.00 a bottle...You can get some really decent bottles of red wine for $39.00 and it has proven health benefits!!!LOL and you get a buzz...LOL. I think if you eat/drink healthy you are well on your way to feeling your best...but as for a cure...I don't fall for that stuff...

Thanks,
Karen

I have to admit, if someone gave me some I'd very happily drink them! I love juice! ;D

As an aside, when I was first diagnosed and the news spread, we had several people come to the house trying to sell us Mangosteen, which was the cancer-killing-juice-du-jour.

They didn't bring casseroles or offer to help with house or yard work--they came to sell us MLM juice drinks!

Unbelievable....

Thanks Zach...We aren't paying for it...his cousin is a distributer...he is sending it here for free...I am not falling for the "cure" aspect but if the juice is healthy and not harmlful...2 oz a day can't hurt...

Another actual pitch I found for it:

"All you have to do is share it with friends, family & co-workers and let the juice kick in their bodies!Most of them will ask you how to get it. The only way they can get it is through the distributors which is you and watch the orders roll. and they will tell others about it and so on and on. This juice is new in the U.S. and is going to sweep all over the world. The earlier you become a member and lock your position ahead of those who come in later allowing you to inherit 100% of the business volume and income from those enrolling later.
This juice helps the body fight all kinds of diseases: Cancer, Diabetes, Cholesterol, Arthritis,Alzheimer's, Back and muscular pains.
This is how it works : You join now for $39 as a distributor and order one case or more at wholesale and the bubble starts to grow and earn you income."


Like I said, it may be a fine and delicious juice drink, but the claims its distributors are making are unconscionable. Cancer patients and their families are desperate for anything that may help, and these people prey on (and profit from) that fear.

I've never heard of it before, but--in my opinion--any drink sold by multi-level-marketers that purports to cure cancer and is trying to round up distributors to sell it doesn't come close to passing the smell test.

Here are some of the purported benefits:

1. Extend Your Life
2. Increase Your Energy and Strength
3. Look and Feel Younger
4. Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure
5. Prevent Cancer
6. Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
7. Promote Normal Blood Sugar and Manage Diabetes
8. Enhance Sexual Function
9. Help You Lose Weight
10. Relieve Headaches and Dizziness
11. Improve Quality of Sleep
12. Improve Your Vision
13. Strengthen Your Heart
14. Inhibit Lipid Peroxidation
15. Improve Disease Resistance
16. Improve Immune Response
17. Manage and Fight Cancer
18. Protect Your Precious DNA
19. Inhibit Tumor Growth
20. Reduce the Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation
21. Build Strong Blood
22. Help Chronic Dry Cough
23. Fight Inflammation and Arthritis
24. Improve Lymphocyte Count
25. Treat Menopausal Symptoms
26. Prevent Morning Sickness
27. Improve Fertility
28. Strengthen Your Muscles and Bones
29. Support Normal Kidney Function
30. Improve Your Memory
31. Support Healthy Liver Function
32. Alleviate Anxiety and Stress
33. Brighten Your Spirit

34. Improve Digestion
35. Maintain Healthy Gums
36. Fight Fibromyalgia
37. Prevent Allergies
38. Protect Children’s Health
39. Promotes Overall Wellness

And "Doctor" Lou Niles (N.D.), a "cancer specialist" has a promotional video on his site that not only gives information on MonaVie but..and I quote..."For ONLY $39 Become a MonaVie Distributor & Purchase MonaVie at WHOLESALE HERE".

In the promotional video, Dr. Lou has his scrubs on, just like a real doctor who just dashed in from surgery. Of course he can't actually perform surgery, but the effect is nice. And the designation of "cancer specialist," meaningless as it is in his case since it is a self-proclaimed title, also adds an air of legitimacy. Much like the people on infomercials who are identified as "health researchers".

It may be a fine and healthy product, but I find the claims to be reprehensible. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
