Ok, I am getting alot of interest, my mailbox is getting full. I am

just going to copy and paste the email I have been sending to

everyone.

Hi, thanks so much for your interest.

We were introduced to a product called MonaVie. It is a concentrated

fruit juice featuring the acai berry. (pronounced ahh-sigh-eee). It

has 18 other fruits in it chosen for each ones own unique

quality/property.

I am not sure if you are familiar with the acai berry or not, but

Dr. Perricone (who has been on Oprah) and who wrote the book the

Perricone Promise...says that the acai berry is the #1 superfood. It

has the protein of an egg, and the antioxidant level compared to no

other fruit. It also has the essential fatty acids of Omega 6 & 9

which many ASD kids are lacking. It works on the brain so this would

most likely enhance nerve receptors to embrace signals from other

nerves in the brain so they can process things correctly. Does that

make sense?

It also has grape seed in it which a well know yeast killer. I think

it's been cleaning out the yeast and many more unknown toxins

floating around in her system. When I said it's natural, I mean it's

100% natural. There is nothing but fruit in this. It's pulverized

into a concentrate and they use the entire fruit, skin, leaves,

stem, seeds and all. There is no sugar, chemicals, additives or

caffeine added. The fruit is all either grown wild or organically. I

have heard that as of January, it will actually say Certified

Organic on it's label.

So, anyway....the dosage is so easy. It's 1-2 oz a day of this

juice. That's it. She takes it right down and gives me no trouble at

all with it. It tastes kinda of grape-ish I think. I just fill up

one of those little plastic cups that come on top of Tylenol and

then suck it up in a syringe and squirt it in her mouth. No fighting

me at all.

I decided to sign up as a distributor so I could get it wholesale.

It's not cheap, but after I figured up all the little things we were

giving for yeast, bacteria and immune support, this is way cheaper

and so much easier in the liquid form. No more smashing pills and

mixing with liquids. No more bitter grape seed extract.

Let me know if you would like to try some. I am sure I could send it

to you directly somehow. If you are interested, please let me know.

Also, know that I am not trying to sell you anything. I just want to

share this product with others in the same boat as me. If you don't

feel comfortable buying it from me, I can direct you to how you can

also sign up as a distributor and purchase it directly from the

company. Currently the only way to obtain it, is from either a

distributor, or to sign up as one and buy it directly from the

company.

Please, leave no stones unturned in your search for treatment.

Always be willing to look outside the box. I have found my most

effective treatments came naturally and without the aid of

traditional medicine. I did everything I could in the beginning. We

tried everything. I just can't believe how much of an improvement we

have seen in just a month. This is HUGE!! The last time we got

results like this was when we began the enzymes. Like I said in my

post, I will be forever indebted to Dr.Houston and his enzymes and

DeFelice's book. I consider finding her website (and Dana's)

and the enzymes nothing short of divine intervention. If you have

found them, then consider yourself one of the lucky ones. SO many

parents are unwilling or unable to find the energy or put forth the

effort it takes to treat their kids naturally. Sometimes it's so

easy to just give them a pill. Not to say that at times, it IS not

completely warranted if that is what your child requires, I just

advocate natural if I can use that first. And so far, we have never

had to give my dd any kind of actual medication.

MonaVie is evidently fairly new and started in Florida about 2 years

ago. I think it is just now starting to creep out of Florida. This

product was not made for the treatment of autism specifically, it's

just patches a lot of holes in the boat. The drink is actually

marketed as a health drink that helps with a variety of things. It's

a super powered anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. It's helps lower

cholesterol naturally. It helps promote good sleep and helps with

your aches and pains too. I am not sure of why it works, it just

does. I figure it's not for me to question it. It works, she is

improving wonderfully and we are using it.

I decided to try it myself and what I have noticed most since

starting it is that I have more energy. A natural kind of energy,

not speedy like from caffeine or something.

Ok, well this was a small novel. I plan to just copy and paste this

to whoever emails me with an inquiry. Let me know if you wold like

to try some.

Thanks so much

November 22, 2006

I'm game. I'm not giving Max anything yet; just don't know where to start.

His report card (first grade) was A's in Math, B's in everything else except

language skills...he got a D in that. Also he needs to focus, pay

attention, and follow directions (all marked as " needs improvement " ). I'm

willing to try this.

Would you be willing to share with us what you had tried with your daughter

before MonaVie, and the before/after effects?

Thank you,

Sure, we started out on probiotics and candidase. She also was on

zinc supplement along with a cal/mag supplement.

We used Kirkman's SNT and DMG but we did have the best results with

those. I think it made her more hyper than ever. We went GFCF for a

year until we found the enzymes. We use No-Phenol in between meals

2x a day. We use AFP Pep and ZP with all meals and snacks. We also

gave her Transfer Factor for a year. It was just so expensive that

we eventually phased it out. We also give her Nordic Naturals

Children's DHA daily.

We have been sorta coasting along since about May, just giving some

Nystatin here and there and some acidophilus once over the summer.

When we started her on the MonaVie, we weren't sure what we would

get. I thought that she was about as good as it gets.

We placed her in mainstream kindergarten at a small parochial school

much against the advice we got in her IEP. I thought long and hard

and said many prayers over the summer. I thought I would have a

nervous breakdown the night before school started. But she seemed to

blend in ok. Numbers letters, colors and shapes have always been her

thing and she just came off two years of developmental preschool, so

she was more than kindergarten ready as far as acedemically

speaking. Socially though, I thought perhaps she might nose dive.

Three weeks into school, her teacher called me and said she was

worried about her social skills. She was not minlging or mixing too

well with her peers. She never raised her hand when asked questions

in a group setting. She did not initiate conversations, she played

beside her peers but again, did not speak to them if they talked to

her.

Seriously, two weeks into the MonaVie, her teacher called and said,

whatever you are doing, it's working. She is opening up more and

more everyday. She volunteered to lead the ABC song in front of the

whole class. She said she would see Ivy calling out to her

classmates during recess and engaging in conversations too. She was

opening up at home too and with prompting, she was telling us about

her day (never before had she done this). The imaginary play thing

was HUGE for us. She played, but NOT with other kids. She would play

in her room, but mostly she just watched video's. Since starting the

juice, she has been engaging in elaborate make-believe play with her

Barbies. She has been into the dress up box and is changing clothes

5-6 times a day. For the first time, she has had the patience and

understanding to play Barbies with her older 7 yo sister. That has

been great to witness. I never thought I'd see it.

I mentioned in my other post what I thought the MonaVie does for her

as far as what it works on. So for now, as long as we keep seeing

these kind of results, we'll keep using it.

Hope that helps

Wow, that is kind of the exact opposite of Max. I had him in two years of

developmental preschool, plus one year of parochial preschool at the same

time (just to see if he could " hack it " ). The parochial school said they

couldn't handle him, so then he had two years of kindergarten. He is

socializing fine (with a few obsessive tendencies such as " his " chair, " his "

this or that), but he can't sit still for long or focus. He is very strong

in math, but weak in language comprehension. Personally, I think he

comprehends just fine, he just can't retrieve it and communicate what he has

learned. His teacher has to repeat instructions to him until he says " I'm

ok " and then he can do whatever it is. He does seem to rush through his

work, which doesn't help with accuracy. Are you a distributor of the

MonaVie? If so, how much would a bottle cost me, and how much would I have

to order to do a trial period to see if it helps?

You can buy the antioxidant Acai anywhere, this would not be anything

special except they made it into a drink. If you had to have something in

liquid form then it may justify paying this high price.

See, this is EXACTLY what I was trying to avoid. Someone thinking I

am trying to take advantage of someone. This is truly not the case.

Number one, I did extensive research on this company's product

before we tried it. I scrutinize everything. I believe this compnay

has a superior product and I know it works.

Number two, yes, you can get acai anywhere, but most acai blends

being sold only contain 3-5% solids- with the rest being mostly

water and some have caffeine and other sorts of chemicals in them.

This company is superior because their juice contains the maximum

amount of concentration of solids (meaning skin and pulp)allowed at

a whopping 14%. Not only do they use the maximum amount of solids

allowed, but they also put a substanial amount of freeze-dried opti

acai powder in it as well. This powder is exclusive only to their

company and NO OTHER COMPANY. They also have a patent to protect the

method they use to flash freeze it. So, again, no other company can

duplicate this process for the next ten years.

SO, when you say you can get this *anywhere* and it's *nothing

special*, I do disagree. I only posted the information because we

are having such great results with it. It's not like I just started

out in this either. I have been around for awhile. We have lived the

past three years learning, researching and trying many, many

different types of supplements for our dd.

I only wanted to share that with all of you. I am not trying to make

a buck off anyone here.

I guess I should have not posted it...although I did ask prior to

posting and said it was ok to post it.

And last, I don't think the price is that bad. It equals out to be

about $1.50 a day....I spend more than that on a Starbucks each day.

Sorry if you feel it's insignificant. If anyone is still interested,

please just email me and I'll give you the information.

November 24, 2006

Didn't say it was insignificant, just trying to help people who feel

pressured to use or that brand name. If the claim is true that there is a

higher percentage of acai in this product then any product could be used in

higher amounts to achieve the same goal. Any reputable vitamin manufacturer

would be okay.

Otoh, if you are looking for a palatable liquid for ease of dosing, I can

see this as a good alternative. I think I already said this.
