My husband & I both have Lyme Disease for 10 years. Recently, someone told us there is a juice called "Mona Vie" that is supposed to be a miracle cure. It is pretty expensive to buy and we wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -- Mindy

My boyfriends sister sells in through one of those pyramide scams.
They claim it's a wonder anti oxidant, but there are as many of these "juices" sold in many health food store.

My take, it's a scam!

Mona-vie?

I don't think so. I've heard of NONI and Mangosteen juice or NONI can come in a solid form.

However I've never heard of Mona-vie for anything around here.

As far as a "Miracle Cure" goes....there ain't no such thing!

Catching the tick in the act;taking tick to cdc for positive for disease test;getting the

bullseye rash;and having them do a little dance for the doctor in plain sight so he/she will

make a timely diagnosis. Then wait around a couple of weeks to get a blood sample to be

positive "ELISA" so that it will give the testing lab permission to do a "Western Blot"

specific for Bb and have that come back positive IGg five bands and or two bands of the

IGm test or both. Then maybe, just maybe. The mainstream medical duck you went to for help

will be assured of following all of the "IDSA Guidelines" necessary so he/she won't be brought

up on charges of fraud for treating you both. Write you a script for antibiotics that are

strong enough and long enough to catch the little boogers before they disseminate thru your body.


That's the only "CURE" I've ever heard of....and it would be a "MIRACLE", if you can

supply all of that,

for the "IDSA's prerequisites" for a POSITIVE diagnosis of lyme disease.

good luck

God Bless

P.S. This may sound only sarcastic or funny to you or some kind of joke.....but....unfortunately this is what we lymies have to deal with every day of our lives.

And exactly why more people will die and or become "Chronically MissNomered"(sick).

Yeah, someone here in Fla. tried to get me on the stuff too...claimed it did all sorts of things.

It is a pyramid as stated before...

Wish a simple drink would cure [Big Grin] , but it just does not work that way.

I Googled Mona Vie. It's fruit juice. Though it might help build the immune system because of it's antioxidants, it's not going to cure you.

You can buy fruit juice made from acai at the health food store.

I took Mona Vie for months, at pretty high doses. It didn't make any major difference in me, though it's definitely healthy. And it tasted good!

A friend of mine sells it, and he has all kinds of testimonials of people it has helped bring energy to, but I think those people were relatively healthy to begin with.

Pyramids are illegal. It's not a pyramid and most likely not a "scam."

But it's not as good as mangosteen, in my book. Nope, not even.
