so here is my story. i have been riding for 15 years and have always been the guy who never gets hurt and even with bad falls always seemed to come out without a scratch. i had been dubbed "the rubber band man" around my home mountain. i snowboard most of the year, around pennsylvania in the winter and mt hood oregon in the spring/summer.

so like i said i never seemed to get hurt much, that all changed about 15 months ago when i was at mt hood last summer. first off in the begining of june i broke 3 ribs and tore some cartilige between them when i cased a fairly large jump. that was the start to my bad luck streak. so about 3 weeks of no riding and then i get back into it slowly and also start skateboarding again. i go for a few weeks and am right back in the groove of things. i am riding halfpipe one day working on a trick that i had wanted to learn for some time. i finally land it and ask a friend to film the next one. so of course i try to go bigger and better than the time before. long story short i messed up bad and fell 20+ feet to my lower back. i compression fractured t8 and t9 vertebras. that was the end of my snowboarding for the summer.

so 8 weeks go by and i start to skateboard again. one day i take a horrible slam to my hip and hairline fracture it. my hip was swollen to the point that i could not fit in my jeans.

so i fully heal and winter comes along and im snowboaring again. one day i am riding half pipe and i take an awkward fall and land on my knee on the icy flat bottom. i completely tore my lateral meniscus.

so as you can see i have reason to be sore and in pain. and let me tell you i was. i had a very hard time getting comfortable in any position i lay. my back always feels out of place and i had a hard time bending my knee fully.

so i learned of a product called mona vie that is an acai juice blend that also has glucosamine and fatty acids. i was very skeptical that a juice could help me but a friend let me try it for free so why not. after 1 week ( thats how long a bottle lasts you) i did feel better but i wasnt sure if it was placebo or the juice. but it was enough for me to try it some more. i have been drinking the juice for a month now and i honestly feel the best i have in over a year. i no longer wake up completely stiff and i have no pain fully bending my knee. 

also, the juice is a super antioxidant and natural body cleanser so it also helped me detoxify and loose some weight. not that i needed to loose weight, but hey i guess its not a bad thing.

anyways that is my story. 100% true and i stand by this product. my parents (65 and 58) are both now drinking it everyday and say they feel better than they can remember too. i figured that this is a good place to post this since many people must here must have some joint or back pains that they would like to get rid of. i hope some of you give it a try, i know it cant actually cure anything but i know it helped myself, parents and some friends so it might work for you too.

OK first of all...your font color is all messed up...I had to highlite the text to read it.
 
Secondly...isn't how Mona Vie sold bascially a Ponzi Scheme?
 
Stay out of the parks...you'll stay healthier then any juice will make you.
