Has anyone heard of Monavie Juice?

[Alisa42]

My Mom has just been dx for ovarian  cancer...many people have been recommending a juice called Monavie.  Does anyone know anything about it, any success?

Whenever I quit drinking it altogether for a while, I go back to being too tired to function as effectively.

Monavie makes me feel good. I've tried other juices and don't feel the same effects. I drank it daily for a month, then tapered down to once a week. Now I just drink it when I feel lousy and I don't get sick. One bottle a month isn't too expensive for that. Everyone is different and should judge for themselves.

I have actually gotten notices saying that I was naughty. These usually have to do with suggesting natural alternatives for traditional treatment. But i have also been punished for giving honest advice (apparently perceived as unpleasant) instead satisfying the poster's need for hand-holding.

Yes that is a little odd Pax. Maybe they didn't realize it is research and a treatment protocol?? I havent read on it yet, but will look it up.

For some reason they censored G-E-R-S-O-N.  Weird, huh?

The theory isn't this will cure cancer.  Cancer is a disease of the immune system, so the theory is, if you improve the immune system through nutrition your body might regain the ability to fight for itself.  This is the basis of the ****** therapy and the wheat grass based therapy based in Florida and so many of the natural therapies.  Whether they work or not is unknown.  But I would personally be very careful with fruit juices for this purpose, as all fruits contain a lot of sugar, and sugar is inflammatory, thus taxing the immune system while helping it in other ways.  Better to eat the whole food or juice it yourself, but also better to focus on high antioxidant vegetables, which do the same things but don't involve the high levels of sugar.  And as far as I know, the highest antioxidant fruit is still the good ol' blueberry.

I truly wish your mother a full recovery
The antioxidant levels in MonaVie are unparalleled because of the patented process they use to maintain the Acai berries integrate (approximately 95% to 100% of the antioxidant levels).
Other products use Acai but the process that they use only preserves about one tenth antioxidant level of the Acai (equivalent to the antioxidant level of a blue berry, which is also a very good).

Some products may be cheaper but you would be much better off if you were to use MonaVie and drink less of it, you'll be getting better value for your money.

Adding antioxidants and nutrition to a body that is in distress is never a bad idea. It is important to note that none of these products will cure cancer.

I tried all the juices....Monavie, Xango...etc. I started to do some research on these antioxidant juices, including going to healthfood stores and comparing products.
There are less expensive juices out there over the shelf , that are just as good and pure. In fact I went into the Vitamin shoppe and found a couple of excellent products.

I would highly urge your mom to try Monavie.  It is made up of 19 fruits, including the acai berry from the Amazon.  I have heard many testimonials that it has helped everything from cancer to fibromyalgia.  Your mom would probably need to drink more than the recommended 4 oz daily since she is fighting cancer.  I wish you and your mom the best.
