After writing about my leg pain going away, it came back later that night. So that problem wasn't cured.
I bought one bottle of Mona Vie for $30. I have seen it as high as $40 from other distributers. I took the highest recommended amount (2 oz. twice a day) until the bottle was empty (6 days0. And here are my results:
My diabetes didn't go away or get better. My sugar numbers did reach a low of 86 for one morning, but then was back up to 150 by afternoon. My numbers have been between 129 - 155 before, during, and now after the test.
My leg pain is still there. I don't know if it's a pinched nerve or the diabetes or what, but the pain is still there.
I am still bald. Not that I thought hair would grow back. I just wanted to throw that in.
My weight is still the same.
In my opinion, Mona Vie is probably healthy for you like any other juice, I just believe it's being marketed as a cure all and that to me is a SCAM.
This test is concluded. If you would like to try your own test let me know. I am selling bottles for $45 each. just kidding!
I have had three people in the past year tell me about this miracle drink called MonaVie. My mechanic, my karate partner, and my good friend. I trust all of these people. My buddy said he used to wake up with body pains and headaches every morning. He no longer has pain or headaches in the morning.
So I tried it for a few days and almost threw up on the stuff. It is the nastiest tasting tasting drink ever.
It's been a few months now since I have tried it. The other day I heard about this drink again. I heard that Oprah and Matt Lauer loved it and blah blah blah.
So I do my infamous "Scam" search. If you ever want to find out if something is a scam do a google search for the product with the word scam after it. well, obviously the Monavie people know of my scam search. The first 100 entries is about people telling you it's not a scam. That alone makes me wonder. Why would all these people take the time to tell me something is not a scam.
This is what I call scam deflection. When scammers know your going to do something, they try to head you off at the path. Flooding the net with positive things about this drink with the word SCAM is going to keep me from finding the people who really know it's a scam.
So let's try this product again. I am going to do my own test. I am overweight, diabetic (recently), and have a negative attitude about things (that's why I go to church).
I am ordering a bottle from a friend of mine. I will monitor my physical being in every way possible and blog back her with results. Give me about a week or so and I will let you know how it works.
I HOPE YOU ALL ARE APPRECIATE ME DOING THIS TEST SINCE THIS STUFF IS THE NASTIEST TASTING LIQUID TO EVER PASS MY LIPS.

Do you know how many people will read this blog just because I have titled this blog "$10 for a Canon HV20 Camcorder"?Do you know how many people would send me $10 for my camera, which I really don't even own?Do you know how many people would not bother fighting me for a refund?Do you know how much time and money it would cost people to fight me for a refund?Do you know how many people are doing this internet scam?If you don't believe me then go to Nextag.com or Bizrate.com or even Google's Froogle.com and check it out. Type in any electronic device and see for yourself. You will see tons of deals too good to be true. Usually the unbelievable deals are from stores you've never heard of. They are scams and yet people keep sending them money.I just bought a magnifying lamp for doing watch repairs. I bought it from a company called Grizzly Industrial, Inc. I read some okay reviews on Amazon.com and didn't see anything really bad about them. So I put it on my Kaboodle wish list.On Christmas morning I open up my new lamp and it was in a million pieces. So I began the painful process of trying to get my money back. They dragged their feet for days and now I am just disputing it with my credit card company.Now if you go to Amazon.com and do a search for that same lamp you will see a bunch of people complaining about broken product from this company. There is one person who has been trying to get a refund for two weeks. He will probably give up and let Grizzly keep his $50.Remember, as long as we allow people to get away with internet scams like this, it will continue. So when your shopping the internet, make sure you know the vendor. Make sure you use a credit card. Using your PayPal is not always a protected way of purchase. Make sure you fight for your refund if your not completely satisfied, even if it's $10.ResellerRatings.com is a website that you can check on retailers to see if they are reliable or not before you buy.Have you been scammed already on the internet? If so, how?
