When I first started taking the Acai berry juice it cost me just under $40 to become a distributor so I could get the product at wholesale cost. I didn't mind paying the extra money because it allowed me to save a lot of money on each order. But I know for some people the $40 might mean the difference in signing up to receive the juice. But for just the next 20 days the company is waiving the sign-up fee. So now is the time to take the next step in improving your health by taking acai.

I just realized it's been 3 months today since I started on the Acai Berry Juice blend. I'm one very skeptical person when it comes to stuff like this and I've been holding off updating the website about it until I'd been taking the juice for the 3 months they recommend.

Well, today is the day and I want to report on how we're doing. I know my knee is still damaged and I don't believe that it'll ever get back to normal. But it is relatively pain free right now and has been for quite some time. I was showing a friend of mine just the other day how well it is by jumping up and down on my bad leg. I don't think I'll be running any marathons or even to the store, but it's sure nice to go about my daily business without having to lean on that cane. I've also just started on the stair stepper to try and build up some strength before I tackle anything too far from home.

The thing I like best is that I'm sleeping right through the night every night without waking up from pain or to visit the bathroom. That was something that was unexpected but the most noticeable. Cheryl is finding the same results.

We've also started a few friends on the juice. One friend is in very serious condition with emphysema and a spot of cancer on one of her lungs as well. She is home but on constant oxygen. She is hoping for enough improvement to undergo a double lung transplant. She has only been taking the juice for about 2 weeks and claims to have more energy and is sleeping through the night.

Another friend is a bit younger than us and is still in decent shape with only the beginning stages of arthritis in a couple of fingers. He wants to try to lower his blood pressure. He has also been taking it for just two weeks and informed me today that he was playing the piano last night and for the first time in several years never noticed the pain in his fingers. He never mentioned a change to his blood pressure though. It's probably a little early to see results there yet.

Phil has been taking it for just over a month. He's in his early seventies and in relatively good shape. He has noticed more energy and is sleeping much better than before. He's monitoring early stages of diabetes.

Just yesterday we gave some to a couple of friends who are sisters. They both suffer from osteoarthritis and find it hard to do much of the things they used to enjoy. Hopefully the juice will help them as much as us. I'll update you about them if they decide to continue taking it.

We've also been able to stop taking all the other supplements and vitamins we were taking. Every day we took glucosamine, a multi-vitamin and Entrophen for pain. I've been taking the Entrophen for about 10 years and any other time I tried stopping them I was hobbling around in terrible pain within a week. As long as I kept taking them I could function. Cheryl and I have stopped taking all of them for about a month now and we both still feel great. And I haven't had to take a Tylenol-3 since mid-December. I was taking 3 at a time when the pain was at it's worst.

The recommended daily dose of the Acai juice is one ounce in the morning and another at night. They recommend trying it for 3 months to really notice a difference, but from what I've read I believe many people experience some kind of positive results much faster than that. I'm taking 2 ounces morning and night which they recommend if you're in tougher shape. A bottle of juice will last me a week. It'll last two weeks if you take only 1 ounce twice a day like Cheryl.

Another good thing about this juice is that it gives you all the benefits of eating 7-9 daily portions of fruits and vegetables. In our family that's really important as we sure don't get the daily requirements from our diet. It's really hard to find something we all like and still get what we need.

A bottle of the Acai juice costs $45 if you buy retail. We bought a distributor's package for $39 so we could buy it wholesale for about $38/bottle, and as low as about $32/bottle if you buy a larger quantity. Those prices are approximately what it costs us in Canadian dollars with tax and autoshipping right to our door by Purolator.
