Hi Everyone!
I posted in the general section, because somehow when I backed up, I did not see this category. I should have posted here instead. Sorry about that!
I have been a member of the Rife group for a couple of years. I have had Lyme for 30 and have been disabled by it for 16. I have tried antibiotics, nutrition, IV's, rife, alternative medicine and on and on. Believe me, I had tried all the Mannatech, Reliv, Noni, Juice Plus, etc. Not to say those are not helping other people, but they did nothing for me.
A friend of mine had tried all those things too. She had been sick from Lyme for 3 years, but is now doing very well with Acai. I thought I would try one of the Acai Juices I heard about, but it made me seriously ill with migraines, joint pain, etc. Come to find out, it was processed in China and had chemical preservatives. So, I went on a hunt for pure one. This was no easy task!
I think I have read about every product out there! I have found the ONLY ONE that is 100% certified organic, is not processed in China and does not have any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, fillers, water, stimulants or chemical preservatives.
Also, this one is freeze-dried within 24 hours of picking the berries, instead of spray dried which kills the active properties and adds up to 40% maltodextrin to the Acai product. Thus, their ORAC value (antioxidants) 850 per gram, versus about 64. Huge difference! Often, a company claims the ORAC value of their product is higher, but they are going by other tests that have been done on the berry, before processing. This is not what their product is after processing. Just try asking them for the lab report and see if they can product one. This company can!
Anyhow, the Acai Berry is full of phytonutrients, polyphenolics and anthocyanins. It is a power-pack of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, anti-mutagenics and anti-bacterials. For more information on the science of Acai Berry, you can go to http://www.AcaiBerrySTUFF4U.com.
For more information or ordering Acai Berry Powder, Juice or Capsules, Click Here. Their juice has 3,000 ORAC units per 1 ounce serving! This blows away all the other Acai products on the market! For those concerned about sugars, the powder and capsules contain 0 grams of sugar! Unlike other fruit, the Acai Berry is high in protein, fiber and omega fatty acids, which are essential to heart health.
I started using this one and have already noticed several bouts of a better sense of well-being (like the fog clearing and light at the end of the tunnel). Nothing else in 16 years has done that for me! I have had severe depression for many years due to being so sick and all the losses I have been through. The pain in my nerves and ankle injury have also started to ease off. I don't know how much more this will continue to help, but I am going to keep trying it to find out!
They have a Wholesale Club , where you can save $$ on orders! You can even get a free website and store when you join the club.
Blessings My Lymie Friends,
Sherri

Thank you Sherri!! I love the taste of the acai berry, saw a bit on the Today Show about it and had to try it out. Thanks, again, for all the good info!

Hi Willo!
That is great! I think most of the products out there have extra flavors or sugars in them to enhance the Acai Berry, too. The one I am using is 100% Acai Powder and 100% Pure Acai Pulp Juice with a little concord grape. But no sugars or artificial sweeteners or fillers, etc.
I tell you what... it really got me through a recent visit with family in town!
Sherri

Thankfully, my family is very accommodating. They do not expect me to cook for them, go sight-seeing or go out on the town! Of course, just sitting around and talking is very, very hard for me. Yet, this Acai Berry Powder and Juice really got me through it. Usually, after they are here for a couple of hours I am so so sick I can't talk or move. Then when they leave, I can't even remember the visit. We actually had some good conversations and laughs! That is HUGE for me after having Lyme for 30 years and literally fighting for my life daily for the past 16!

Way to go Sherri!! So glad to hear that! Any visitor can be taxing; I know exactly what you mean. When my mother has some guests over I literally can't go out to say hello, thankfully most friends understand my limitations and don't take it personally when I can't see them, or write to them (I'm a regular letter-writer, tho' I do a lot more emailing now).
I have a super-supportive family (and family of friends) out here on the West Coast.

I am so glad you have supportive family and friends, too. It is a rare thing! Actually, I have my mom, brother and sis and have had their support from day one. The rest have been very difficult and so have my in-laws. Yet, everyone has either backed down or walked away. So good riddence. I lost lots of friends when I got sick, have lost many on the way, but have a few good ones! My very best friend of a little over 3 years just passed away on June 9th. That has been REALLY hard! I thought we would have one another forever.
