Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Robin, So, Do you feel that this juice has helped you get better? Some one off of the group was telling me about Mona Vie. I am just getting ready to start artimisin soon and want to start taking something to help with detox. Do you think this will help? It is a lot more affordable than Mona Vie. Did you herx from it? Can you tell me a good website that I could order it from. I went to our health food store here and they don't have that brand. Thanks so much, _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of sfrobink@...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Article on Cure-All Juices, Part 1: Acai and Goji, http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/26/06/02.html <http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/26/06/02.html> Follow up Letter to Editor Cure-All Juices: Let the Buyer Beware Dear Editor: I read Dr. Andersen’s article, “Cure-All Juices, Part 1: Acai and Goji,” in the March 11 issue (www.chiroweb.com/archives/26/06/02.html <http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/26/06/02.html> ) and felt the “Let the Buyer Beware” theme needed a little more support. [Editor’s note: Parts 2 and 3 of Dr. Andersen’s series appeared in the April 8 and May 6 issues, respectively. See “Cure-All Juices, Part 2: Noni” and “Cure-All Juices, Part 3: Mangosteen” online.] I looked into one company that sells acai juice and claims the powder has an ORAC of 1,026 per gram. When I asked about the ORAC per serving of juice, they eventually got back to me and said: “There are approximately 1,000 ORAC units per 1 ounce.” When I asked for the Brunswick Labs document, I was informed that the Brunswick Labs test was 500 per serving and that the company had used USDA test results. Putting this in perspective, some companies not only cherry-pick the best lab results, but also will go so far as to cherry-pick the company that does the testing! Putting the score in perspective, this particular product contains other fruit juices to make the acai taste good. Most of the 500 score probably comes from those other fruits, which would make the amount of acai in each serving, at most, a dash. I believe the companies that make these products should test ORAC, NORAC, HORAC, TEAK, heavy metals, and have a complete nutritional analysis posted with actual independent lab documentation available to determine their real value. Human studies would be nice. With phytonutrition, however, I personally don’t require human tests if the lab tests are there. Besides, every batch is different because every harvest is different. The next batch would need new human testing to validate the results of the new batch. And there is really no dispute over the value of broad-spectrum phytonutrition. We know we should eat about 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, representing the full spectrum, which is achieved by including fruits and vegetables from all the colors. If we don’t do this, phytonutrient supplements may be of value, especially if they represent the full spectrum and have valid tests results (like those mentioned above) to verify their content. The point: Let’s teach the importance of fruits and vegetables (phytonutrition) and how to do it right, providing alternatives when our best advice is not possible. (For example, a patient might say, “I don’t have the time and money to go shopping two times per week for fresh organic produce representing all the colors.”) Thank you, Dr. Andersen, for your dedication to the chiropractic profession.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, does anyone use Mona Vie for their ASD child? My cousin is a rep and has been trying to get us to use it for months now but we already spend so much $ on MB12 and other things I just don't think we can add that. Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with it. I am a little concerned because I think my son has phenol issues so I didn't know if that would affect him. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Mona Vie is an overpriced, good-tasting supplement in a fancy wine bottle. We have a family member who sells it as well. We already do supplements like you and after investigating what was in Mona Vie versus what we are already giving our ASD child - Mona Vie did not make sense nutritionally nor economically. Since our very well-meaning family member gave us several bottles of both the kids and adults version, I gave it to all four of my children. Did not see anything at all except some red ears in my ASD child - which I interpreted as intolerance to some of the additives in the Mona Vie. Mona Vie does make folks feel better if they are not already on a good diet or supplements. My husband said that while he was drinking Mona Vie, he did not have to go to the bathroom as much during the night. (So I am purchasing Acai juice at my HFS - a lot cheaper and the same results for my hubby as Mona Vie). Mona Vie is an okay way to get certain important vitamins - it is just too expensive and not all the " other ingredients " are good for ASD children.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I used to drink Noni juice and Xango.... they are very good for ADHD kids because they contain super antioxidants, however most if not all of them contain preservatives such as sodium benzoate.... I saw no changes in my boy (ADHD) when he took Xango every day. It's hit and miss, depends on the child.... can do wonders for some.....cath P.S. Xango is great tasting, Noni can be awfully nasty....
