Let's look in detail why Monavie is a Scam whos business practices are unethical at best and boarder on criminal:

First and foremost, too many crooks are involved with Monavie at its highest levels, along with the clinical study that was done on the juice.

FDA site on Dynamic Essentials a company Dallin Larsen, owner of Monavie, was a V.P. for, before it was shutdown by the FDA for making false claims for treating various diseases like cancer, arthritis and ADD using Royal Tongan Limu Juice. A lot of juice companies go down the same way. You would think Dallin would of cleaned up false claims being made by Monavie Reps.

Audio Links with Dallin Larsen raving about the health benefits of Royal Tongan Limu, before the FDA shut them down for deceptive tactics like these training calls.

January 28, 2002 distributor training conference call featuring Dallin Larsen follows:

web.archive.org/web/20020205212919/63.167.229.232/deistream/conf020128.wma

- he uses a lot of deceptive comments on this call, much like he does with Monavie.

Dr. Alexander G. Schauss who did the 12 person clinical study on MonaVie juice is a fraud according to The National Council Against Health Fraud. Dr. Schauss office was raided by the FDA and seized illegally imported drugs, unapproved medical devices and other items at the clinic. How bogus is the Monavie clinical study now?

FTC on Split Pyramids ( Binary Comp Plans) same comp plan MonaVie uses. Many MLM companies shut down for using the Binary comp plans!!!

FDA Warning issued to MonaVie and sales reps for making unethical medical claims. FDA is not done with MonaVie yet, after a cyber warning, they keep MonaVie on the Radar. With all these reps making medical claims and giving their name, phone number and website out, the FDA has a way to hit Monavie hard.

For a privately held company, they sure do have a lot of complaints on the Better Business Bureau website!

Lawsuit filed by Quixstar (Amway) against Monavie for making unethical medical claims in order to build their business back in March of 08. Quixstars intent for the suit is to help protect the MLM industry from MonaVies deceptive tactics to build a business. Many examples was provided with Doctors making speeches of falsely claiming MonaVie cures cancer. The docket link does cost 8 cents per page to review the court case.

Finally, Monavie is a sinking ship. Across all of its markets, Monavie distributors are dropping out of the program at an alarmingly fast rate. This dramatic collapse of Monavie started 6-8 months ago and has accelerated over the past few months. What does this all mean? For one, anyone would be foolish to get involved with this company. Mona Vie scams there customers and rips them off. Stay away from www.monavie.com!
