Customer Reviews

Well documented and extremely informative!

A few months ago, I went to a "Tasting" of a juice drink called Mona Vie. Its centerpiece is the Acai berry from the Brazilian rainforest. I signed up as a "distributor" for Mona Vie (a multi-level marketing program) and started drinking the juice. Why not give something a try that has been touted as "the world's #1 SuperFood" on Oprah, selected as the official drink of the Boston Red Sox, and documented as the highest anti-oxidant food? Well, I discovered that it does in fact work! Mona Vie is in my book "a miracle food" and it can all be traced back to the Acai berry and, just as importantly, to the way it is processed by Mona Vie -- freeze dried soon after it is harvested and then reconstituted not with water but with the juice of 18 other nutrient rich fruits. In 3 months, I have lost 26 pounds, lowed my cholesterol by 21 points, increased my energy level enormously, and generally feel like a 40 year old (not someone 73). Now, I'm trying to find out WHY Mona Vie works as well as it does. Dr. Schauss is the world's top expert on Acai and this book explains in detail just what the berry is, and what it does. If you are interested in improving your health, I strongly suggest to get ahold of this book!
