Functional Beverage Super-Food:

Mona Vie: LIQUID SUPPLEMENT and OVERALL SUPER-FOOD that tastes great, is convenient and easy to use.

This super-food is a true product of nature, not a manufactured food or chemicals from a laboratory. It is a concentrate of 19 of the world's most nutritious fruits, with the star player…the Acai berry. This super-food has glucosamine and omega fatty acids added to complete its synergistic ingredients.  It is organic and not from Genetically Modified (GMO) sources. This concentrated juice supplement is a nutritional beverage of the highest quality available on the market today.  It's nutritional value and benefits surpass everything I have looked at and researched to date.  The scientific research and documentation are ample with regard to the antioxidant and the nutrient powers of the Acai berry, (especially the freeze dried form used in this product), along with the superior nutritional content of all the fruits in this blend.

Mona Vie supplies a majority of nutrients that many people aren’t getting enough of.  Things like phytonutrients, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and fiber.  These nutrients help fight INFLAMMATION and FREE RADICAL DAMAGE (aging).  Taking a supplement like Mona Vie makes nutritional sense knowing that RESEARCH IS CONTINUALLY SHOWING THAT INFLAMMATION IS AT THE ROOT OF MOST OF THE MAJOR DISEASE PROCESSES we are suffering from today.  The nutrients in Mona Vie are also good for the heart, nerve health, memory and brain function, gastrointestinal track, joint mobility and flexibility, clarity of thinking, general well being, reduction of pain from arthritis, energy level, stabilization of glycemic load and much more.I personally present nutritional information on Mona Vie and hold a tasting event in my home every Tuesday at 7 pm because I believe so strongly in the product's benefits.

Celiac Central - National Foundation for Celiac Awareness
When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the fingerlike villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment.

Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy.

Researchers have determined that celiac disease is a genetic condition, meaning that it is inherited.  In some cases, celiac becomes active or is triggered by events such as surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

Roughly one out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease, but 97% remain undiagnosed.  This means that almost three million Americans have celiac disease and only about 100,000 know they have it.

This site has information on food and recipes, books and videos, foundations and societies, government resources, support groups and more.

Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) is a highly-regarded national organization recognized throughout the world.
