anyone heard about Monavie - acai berry?

[Lilla]

I am an advocate of vitamins/supplements, however, I do know that not everything that's purported as "good for you" or "natural" is  really true.  I've been reading on health benefits of Monavie, which has acai berry in it.  I was looking into it this supplement for nutritional purposes only.

I tried this and foud it absolutely worthless it may be different for someone else.

I think suppliments are good and so are all the natural things which can help the liver.

How about the Homeopathic medicines? They contain only natural ingredients.

I take Mona vie on a regular basis, and so does my mother.  We both suffer from digestive problems, my mother has fibromyalga and arthritis also.  I can tell you from what we have both experienced I would take mona vie before I would take any prescription drugs.  I have noticed a big change in the way we both feel.  Mona vie is not a cure all and may not help everyone, but think about what you spend on prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, what is $45?  And anyone who is even thinking about taking anything herbal or natural to treat their conditions shoud seek advice from their physicians.

Ok ok ok ok - call me an idjit --- but my kid had poison ivy --- and my mom --- who is this weirdo shaman oil herb freaky religion kinda carlos casteneda off the wall something or other.... well she told me to put her in oatmeal with olive oil.

OK - so.. I uhm...  like gritted my teeth cause the kid was clawing her skin off... I put her in a warm bath...

Added ground up oatmeal (threw it in the blender until it was powdery) about 5 cups (half of one of those round cannisters) and tossed in a cup of olive oil. Made her swish it all up.

I made her sit in there - through all her whimpering... (egads --- I sat in the restroom with her ---  had the toilet ring on my butt for a few hours to prove it... )

And eventually I noticed she was playing --- and not scratching.

Made her sit in there a little while longer and it worked.

Dunno if she was just bored --- or if it worked - but if I had to - I'd use it again. LOL!

You have to scrub the tub --- and be careful cause the oil makes it slippery - but it works!

I can't help in the sleep department. Uhmmm I'm a partial insomniac now.

I love the Bossa Nova Acai Berry Juice.  I mix about 1/4 of  the bottle of juice with about 8oz of Pelligrino mineral water, add a squeeze of lime for a great drink. I believe in healty diet and the more variety with anti-oxidants the better.  I'm with GoofyDad eat the berries!  I found the Bossa Nova Acai Berry juice at Whole foods for $2.50 a bottle. They offer Acai Berry and  4 Acai and another fruit blend.  I love the Acai/blueberry and Acai/Mango.  They advertise every bottle we buy saves another rainforest tree. Being the tree hugger I am, how could I resist.
