Monavie & Diabetes

It is said that Monavie is a great healer for a lot of illnesses and affections, but can Monavie heal or at least help against diabetes? Can diabetics really drink Monavie?

In the following, we will analyze some monavie & diabetes facts which, hopefully will lead to whether or not Monavie does mend diabetes. First, let’s see what monavie and diabetes have in common. Well, the connection between the two is that monavie has a couple of ingredients that really hate diabetes.

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.1

Acerola Cherries, one of Monavie’s ingredients, besides being very rich in minerals, vitamins and a powerful antioxidant, acerola cherries fight against diabetes for ages.

It is a well known fact that native people have long used acerola cherries for treating diabetes, among other affections. So, we could say Monavie – Diabetes 1-0

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.2

The black chokeberry, or aronia as it is mostly known as, is so powerful that it can fight against cardiac diseases and even cancer. But does it help monavie against diabetes? Yes, it does. Aronia has in its components, important trace minerals and it has been used for a long time as an anti-diabetic food.

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.3

A close relative of the blueberries, the bilberry is known for its capacity to strengthen the eye capillaries. Also, the bilberry is used in the process of slowing down the age related macular degeneration, night blindness and most importantly, it slows down diabetes related eye disorders.

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.4

Monavie and & diabetes

Blueberries act as a great antioxidant, and are partially responsible for keeping us smart, young and healthy. Also, blueberries have a long history of being used against diabetes.


Monavie & diabetes Fact No.5

Pomegranate, another Monavie ingredient has more antioxidants than red wine, orange juice, green tea or cranberry juice.

It was a known fact that pomegranate is very effective in clearing plaque from inner arterial walls and recent studies show that pomegranate can be used with good results in combating diabetes (among many diseases).

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.6

Prunes are rich in minerals, phenols, and have an very high ORAC value. Their drying process increases their antioxidant powers by over 6 times!

It has been shown that prunes can be used to can prevent/treat diseases related to aging. Prunes can also be used for treating diabetes.

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.7

Know as the “herb of longevity”, the wolfberry contains a powerful combination of polysaccharides and antioxidants, which enhance the activity of the immune system.

Among the many health conditions that medicine has found wolfberries to help we will find diabetes.

Well, it looks like we have a clear winner in this Monavie & diabetes match, but we’re not done yet. Maybe your still wondering if diabetics can drink monavie and feel better. Maybe all that was said before still dindn’t convince you. This is why we will explore some more.

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.8

Monavie and diabetes pic 2
Because of its low Glycemic value which is 4 grams of naturally occurring sugar and 2 carbs per 1 oz., monavie won’t spike your blood sugar levels and is safe for diabetics.

The next two facts are two questions that people just like you have asked. And the answers are in…

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.9

QUESTION:
Are diabetics able to take the MonaVie Active?

ANSWER:
Technically glucosamine is a carbohydrate. The body is not able to convert it into glucose so it does not provide additional sources of glucose. If you are a diabetic, check first with your doctor and always monitor your blood sugar. In diabetes, many factors can lead to changing blood sugar levels. Studies show glycosamine did not affect insulin sensitivity in humans. (Pouwels 2001)

Monavie & diabetes Fact No.10

QUESTION:
Are the Monarch products safe for Type I Diabetics?

ANSWER:
It is very rare for a Diabetic Type I to be overweight, and in this case, it is not infrequent for Diabetic Type I to be misdiagnosed as such and really be Diabetic Type II. Typically the shakes, bars, and vitamins can be used as snacks, although, as always, we recommend that you consult with your health care provider. With diabetes, it is always advisable to check sugar blood levels regularly, especially when you make any changes in diet.

And here is a testimonial of a diabetes & monavie case:

Monavie & diabetes testimonial

I am 27 years old, and my work includes having been a Bounty Hunter in Colorado
for about 8 years. About 4 years ago, I noticed I was losing the feeling in my feet. Walking beMonavie and diabetes pic 3came increasingly difficult because the numbness was making it hard to balance myself. The doctor told me I had Type II diabetes and had probably had it for 5-6 years. I started drinking ‘Acai Active Blend’ on January 8th, 2005 and by March I had gained back almost all the feeling in my feet. Walking is natural and easy again, and my knees don’t crack the way they used to.

I’m drinking a total of around 3 ounces a day. I’m also giving my 5-year-old daughter two ounces a day of the ‘Acai Original Blend’. After about 6-8 weeks, I began noticing that she was much more calm and relaxed. She seemed to have a new sense of well being and serenity about her and was thinking things through before just acting on them as she’d done in the past. Even her teacher at school has commented and says Laree is now getting her work done on time, has much better concentration and is less aggressive on the playground. This product has made a dramatic difference in our lives, and I’ll greatly appreciate it forever.

—Shaun Lawrence – Colorado

In conclusion, can diabetics drink Monavie (acai juice)? Evidence shows that it does. Nonetheless, before taking monavie to treat diabetes and any other illnes for that matter, see at least one doctor and ask him if its the case for monavie or not. Each diabetes case is different from another and although monavie usually defeats diabetes, you have to get a second opinion from your doctor.

I wish you all the luck and a great life from now on! Thank you for reading this article!

MonaVie & Cholesterol

source: Monavieland.com


Does Monavie help against high cholesterol?

Yes it does!
The “king of superfoods”, acai, has in its composition quantities of omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids (EFAs) that equals the olive oil’s ones. These EFAs help reduce the LDL, also known as bad cholesterol and at the same time, the HDL or good cholesterol is kept at a good level.

Also, monavie & cholesterol are in a continual battle because of the phytosterols and dietary fiber that acai has. These two are responsable for a better health of the digestive and cardiovascular system. They also help with the reduction of unhealthy blood cholesterol levels.

Next you can read the results of a study named “Effects of MonaVie Active on
Antioxidant Capacity in Humans”. If you don’t want to read the whole study, then you can go straight to the part that interests you, and that is the one relating to monavie & cholesterol (it’s the part that is bold below)

The study

“Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that are associated with the degenerative aging process. Free radicals steal electrons from healthy cells causing cellular damage. They are byproducts of normal metabolic processes in the body and are produced by exposure to environmental pollutants including cigarette smoke, smog, harmful chemicals, toxins, and sunlight. Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help counter the effects of the damaging free radicals.

A study conducted by an independent laboratory in the United States commissioned by the Natural and Medicinal Products Research division of AIBMR Life Sciences was performed to determine whether drinking MonaVie Active affects antioxidant activity and or levels in human serum. The study began with a pilot study that determined which assays and follow-up schedule to use.

The main study used two measures of antioxidant activity: 1) the Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) assay, a well-established method for screening and monitoring of lipid peroxidation; and, 2) the Reactive Oxygen Stress in Red Blood Cells (ROS RBC) assay that measures the ability of antioxidants to enter into a living cell and protect it from damage.

Clinical Study

Methods. We employed a crossover study with twelve participants, all of whom took both MonaVie Active and a placebo at two separate stages in the study. All participants were told they were consuming MonaVie Active. Each treatment was separated by a seven-day washout period where the participants did not consume MonaVie Active. The placebo consisted of two capsules of potato flakes dyed purple to look like MonaVie Active. Blood samples were drawn from the subjects prior to consuming MonaVie Active and placebo, and at one and two hours following consumption, to determine baseline antioxidant levels.

Subjects were randomized to receive either 4 ounces of MonaVie Active or placebo first.
Results were compared and contrasted on an individual basis and on a group basis.
Results. The TBARS measure of lipid peroxidation shows more antioxidant activity when the subjects were consuming MonaVie than when consuming the placebo. An inspection of individual subjects revealed that 83.3% of subjects had a decrease (relative to the placebo) in lipid peroxidation after taking MonaVie.

A treatment by repeated measures analysis of variance showed this positive effect to be statistically significant at (p = 0.04). Likewise, the ROS RBC cell-based assay revealed that when subjects consumed MonaVie Active they had a rise in antioxidant activity at both one and two hours after consumption. An inspection of individual results revealed that 82% of subjects had a small to moderate increase (relative to placebo) in antioxidant activity within cells. A treatment by repeated measures analysis of variance showed this effect to be statistically significant (p = 0.03).

In summary, MonaVie Active has not only shown experimentally to increase antioxidant activity in human serum, leading to a decrease in lipid peroxidation in the blood stream, but there is also evidence that MonaVie Active provided antioxidants that are able to penetrate cells.

monavie active & and cholesterolThis study confirms that by drinking four ounces of MonaVie Active containing Brazilian acai berry, the subjects had a significant increase in their antioxidant capacity and inhibition in lipid peroxidation, which reduces the risk of cholesterol being oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol has been shown to contribute to damage to the internal lining of the arteries.


Complete and final results of this study are expected to be published in scientific literature in 2008 after presentation of the findings at an international scientific nutritional symposium in the fall of 2007.

Important Note: This study was conducted in a relatively small number of healthy adults. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed before these results can be generalized to the population-at-large.”

So, as you can see, monavie & cholesterol aren’t friends at all :) Monavie, and especially acai, has the power to fight against the bad cholesterol and he usually wins.

MonaVie and ADHD

What is ADHD?

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and represents a condition that appears in some children and makes it very difficult for them to pay attention or have any sort of control over their behavior. This can happen to children in the preschool and early school and it is estimated that over 2 000 000 children have ADHD in the US alone.

ADHD Symptoms

The main symptoms of ADHD, that appear early in a youngster’s life, are impulsivity, inattention and hyperactivity. Now, most kids have these symptoms, but at a normal level, while one that has ADHD has these symptoms at a much higher one. This is why such a child has to receive examination and diagnosis by a professional.

Because it is very interesting to hear what other people have already experienced regarding Monavie and ADHD, I have collected some testimonials so that you can see for yourself what monavie can really do. I hope this will help you and your child!

TESTIMONIALS

Monavie and ADHD Testimonial No.1

monavie and ADHD testimonial 1“August 2006 Our Experience with MonaVie & our Autistic Child

Let me tell you how MonaVie has touched my life. I am the father of 8 year old triplets B/G/G, one of whom has autism. My son was diagnosed with autism 6 years ago and I thought his life was over. We consulted with doctor after doctor, and even traveled around the state to try and find help for our son.

After trying everything the doctors recommended, we did not see any change in our son’s condition. We sought out the best therapist and tried to enroll him in a special program in our public school district. After numerous meeting with the school and therapists, we decided to pull him out of public school and home school him. This was a huge responsibility on my wife and was rewarding to see his academic achievement.

But, the one thing he was lacking in was social interaction and awareness of others. Being home schooled put a huge deficit in an area he was already lacking in. So we decided to move to another county and try a new special education program to try and recapture the socialization deficiency our son had. During the first year back in public school, there was regression in the skills our son had already mastered. We opted to request for a one on one personal aide to help our son focus on academics and engage in more social settings with regular education students.

This was very challenging due to his lack of communication skills. In the summer of 2006 my family was introduced to MonaVie. With huge skepticism because of all that we have been through, I decided to try a bottle of Active MonaVie without telling anyone. I started feeling great, had more mental focus, and was not nearly as tired as I was before. I decided to give my wife a bottle of Active and have her try it to see if it would help her bad hip and back.

She had been in 2 car accidents over the last 4 years resulting in a broken hip and bad SI joints in her back causing large amounts of inflammation. She noticed a difference after 1 week. She started decreasing her medications and eventually stopped taking them all. After these huge successes, we started doing private research on MonaVie. We found that it was helping all kinds of conditions and parents were having huge success treating ADHD. (For those who don’t know ADHD is on the Autism spectrum) We decided to try our son on a bottle of Original MonaVie to see what results we would see. We saw some improvements with speech and mental focus but not a huge amount.

My wife decided to research MonaVie Active to see what the different ingredients were and why our son did not see huge results on the Original. She found out that the Active contained essential fatty acids and glyconutrients. These ingredients were deficiencies in children with autism. Because of the autoimmune disorders most autistic children have, these were key nutrients that their bodies needed.

Once we started our son on the Active he did a 360 degree turn around. He is now speaking full sentences and has much better mental clarity. We have received reports back from Speech and OT therapist that have asked what are we doing that has created an explosion of growth and communication in our child.

Our son has is now being mainstreamed into regular education for Language Arts and Reading, five days a week. This is something we never thought he would be able to accomplish. By the end of the second nine weeks they want to mainstream for Math too! Update 2/16/07 Our son is doing so awesome.

Attended yet another IEP meeting to find out-starting next school year(Aug 07) our son will be completely released from the autism program at school and placed in a VE classroom. He will continue to attend an regular education class for Reading, Language Arts, Lunch and specials.

He is on grade level in all academics, and has even scored one of the higest on his Dibbles test in regular ed reading. We have been speaking with several different families lately about the success of Monavie and their children. Every child is different when it comes to dosage, so depending on your childs metabolism, he or she may need more or less.”

Monavie and ADHD Testimonial No.2

monavie and ADHD testimonial 2“Hi I have a nine year old autistic son that has been taking Monavie for a month now. I can’t believe the results that we have had in just this short of time. He is now using discriptive words something he has never done. We are actually having some real conversations now!!!

He seems so much happier and peaceful he can actually concentrate and sit still for more than a few seconds! He is also sleeping something he has never done from the time he was born. He averages about 5 to 6 hours a night if I’m lucky but since taking Monavie he actually has slept for 12 hours one night.

I awoke and was scared out of my mind I immediately thought something was wrong with him!!! I have now begun to write in a journal so I can keep up with his progress. Everday is now filled with hope and excitement he does or says something new day. It is almost like having a baby that is beginning to talk. He did not talk until he was almost five so this is very exciting for us.

This product is the miracle the we have been praying for. I can’t wait for what the future now holds for him and others who have been diagnosed with such a heartbreaking illness. I hope now that I can help other families who are going through this horrible nightmare!!!!!”

Monavie and ADHD Testimonial No.3

monavie and ADHD testimonial 3“Hi, I am a MonaVie Distributor and I have a 5 yr old autistic daughter. We are giving the original formula to her. Since we started her on it, she has become very verbal and descriptive and saying things we have never heard her say before. She has been getting well rested because she is not waking up in the night as much as she used to.

She has been engaging in imaginary play which is wonderful. She has been interacting well with her 7 yr old sister and they have been playing well together. Another thing we have noticed is that she has been trying new foods that she would not eat before due to the texture or for whatever reason.

She is doing a lot less stimming and tantruming these days too. Also, her teacher called and told us that she was doing very well socially in school and was beginning to form relationships and was initiating conversations with her classmates.

I don’t know what it’s doing for her other than boosting her immune system and perhaps eliminating some yeast overgrowth in her intestinal tract. I think it may also be helping her eliminate other toxins in her body as well. But, whatever it is…it IS working and we will be keeping her on it.”

Monavie and ADHD Testimonial No.4

monavie and ADHD testimonial 4“Hey Janice!! My 11 year old son has ADHD and has been taking Monavie for about 4 months. I have seen a tremendous difference in him. He is much more calm. My mom used to work as a nurse in a clinic that delt just with ADD/ADHD, so I have learned so much through her and through research.

One of the biggest problems with ADHD is they are very impulsive. I have seen a huge difference there too. He is still currently taking his meds., but over the summer I would love to take him off them and have him strictly on Monavie. I am giving him the original now, but because he is so active in sports, I would love to put him on the Active. I hope I have been a help. Good luck!!”

Monavie and ADHD Testimonial No.5

monavie and ADHD testimonial 5“I have another success story. One of my patients in OT who is a teen age Aspergers child started Monavie active-2oz in morning and 2oz in evening. Within 3 days, mom called me to order more. Child told mom he feels calmer and his stomach does not hurt like it was hurting. His mother described nighttime as very difficult as child usually has meltdowns and irritable.

He had no trouble calming down for bedtime, and although he took it later at night (possible kept him awake) he did not fret. He went to sleep and actually slept a little later in the morning. Mom said this never happens. He is always up at the same time no matter when he went to sleep. I asked his mom to keep a behavior journal for me so that I can share it with others.

Mom stated she is going to try to take him off all his meds as he drinks the juice longer. This child has other diagnoses as well-OCD, Bipolar, ADD-HD. I am so excited for this family as well as my other families. I will keep you posted.”
