Thamesford, Ontario, Canada
I am happily married to my highschool sweetheart, Sherri. We have a 20 yr old daughter and a 17 yr old son. I am a hockey coach and entrepeneur while Sherri is an Accounting Clerk. My daughter is building her own business and my son dreams of playing in the NHL after JR hockey. He is striving to be a Naturopathic Doctor with his academic career. As a family unit we have come to discover the importance of diet in our overall well being. Each of us has very differing requirements of our nutrition yet each of us are amazed at the ability of MONA VIE to provide the added boost to all of our diversity. The 4 oz a day we take to supplement our dietary intake has created an overall sense of wellness that is really hard to express. We all are now very committed to telling people what this product has done for us and share it with whom ever will listen. This blog is for the people that can hear. Hear the message of wellness that is sweeping the land. You dont have to be sick! and as I build this site, you will want to return again and again as the info that I will be sharing here will be cutting edge and dynamic.

Brig Hart and Steve Merritt In Toronto

After watching the webcast on the weekend, I can't wait for Wed Night to find out about all of the changes. Every time there is a conference they release some new and amazing thing that will enhance the business. Building just keeps getting less complicated and it wasn't overly complicated before. With the opening up of company policy on social networking and the addition of preferred customer status, we now have the ability to tap into the newest internet craze, twitter and blogging, Facebook and other onlinenetworking software already in use. The new release of Pulse in Canada and the approaching release of EMV energy drink, we are positioned to explode here in Canada. The question is, how big of that explosion will be in our businesses. So having said that I will say this. With Brig and Steve coming into Toronto tommorow night, we should utilize that as a launch to Black Diamond and a trip to Bora Bora in 2010.
Here is a new video about Crown Black Diamonds Brig and lita Hart. Just to warm up for tommorow. Notice in this video that he was not a bri;;iant young man destined to greatness, but he was a big dreamer with an above average work ethic. it is those things that make us successful, not luck as many believe. http://media.monavie.com/BD-DOCS/HART/crowne/
GO Black Diamond!!

Why Mona Vie?! Why Us?! Why You?!

I am a married father of 2 that is blessed in both those areas. My wife Sherri has been my constant companion now for 30 yrs and has, with gods blessing, brought a beautiful daughter and son to our lives. Over the years Sherri has allowed her man to chase his dreams and provide him with the support that allows failure as well as success. After a few business pursuits in which my health became the cost of the success or failure, it brought me to a new pursuit. Wellness! Within the span of 3 yrs I lost my business due to failing health, lost both my parents (1yr apart aged 57 & 59) and Sherri being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I also noticed that many of my relatives were falling to the same fate. It made little sense to me that a man that had played Junior and Senior Hockey, also playing other sports, should be breaking down at the age of 35. Players played past their 40s in the National Hockey League. It couldn’t be just luck!

The awakening!!!
I began the study of the human body and how it heals itself. I was aware of how to fuel the body as a hockey coach, but how does the immune system do its part that was the question. Was it genetics, predisposition or luck? No. It was something far more basic than all that. I discovered it was Diet!! That's right Diet!!! The very fuel we were putting in our body was falling far short of what it required to maintain maximum health. By adding certain foods and deleting certain foods we noticed a difference, but when i came up with a selection of vitamins and minerals, also adding herbs as supplementation my Arthritis began to heal and most extraordinarily my wife’s MS symptoms were Much improved. This was amazing considering her specialist wanted to put her on a drug that could possibly destroy her liver. We are aware of someone with MS diagnosed at the same time that went on that drug and is now in a wheelchair and yet my wife has had no further development of the disease.

It gets Better!!!!
Recently while talking with a parent of a child I coached in baseball she informed me Her son was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. This drove me back into my medical books to find what could be done to help him. Again what jumped out at me was how positive or negative the symptoms were impacted by foods. Making a few suggestions to his mother I decided to go to the Internet to see what was available out there to help in this situation. Interestingly, Fruit was a very positive thing in the diet due to its ability to lower the acidity in the body giving relief from the pain associated with the disease. I found a fruit juice, a nutrient, antioxidant packed, complete juice product that was built on the foundation of the most exciting fruits discovered in the last 15 yrs by Western medicine, the Acai Berry. It is called Mona Vie. I ordered it in immediately and put my family on the suggested 2OZ. in the morning and 2 OZ at night, and my wife noticed an immediate increase in energy and the unsteadiness in balance associated with her MS was greatly improved. She now is able to walk city blocks, something she has not been able to do for some time now. For me over the course of 2-3 weeks my Arthritis had totally disappeared and my chronic bad back that forced me to close my auto sales business years ago had also disappeared. My son an elite hockey player mentioned how quickly he recovered from exercise and all of us notice our sleep was much better.


One More Test!!
My wife’s mother complained of her Irritable Bowel, and we suggested the juice to her. She is in her late sixties and has other ailments that were nagging her. Within weeks her Bowel no longer created discomfort. She now raves about her overall sense of wellness and a retired nurse is amazed that " I never realized how bad I felt until I felt this good."
We knew then we could share this with our friends with hopes it would help his Crohn's. Within weeks he experienced a lessening of the pain and discomfort associated with the disease, but even more important to his mother is the renewal of his mind and his new found positive approach to the future and his desire to be a blessing to others in the future. Yes it is just fruit juice but it is REALLYY!!! GOOODD!!! fruit juice, that when added to the incredible body that GOD has designed, the body can use its goodness to create an amazing wellness, a wellness that I haven’t experienced since my teen years.
People used to look at me as if I had a 3rd eye or a point on my head when I would tell them you need to change your diet, maybe add supplements. Now the information is coming fast and furious, if you want to be healthy you must take responsibility for what you are putting into your body. And for us that is MONA VIE everyday and our health has never been better. We now share this amazing juice with anyone that will listen!!! And Listen they are. We have achieved the level of Bronze Executive in just 8 weeks. That a $20K /yr income from a part time business! All we did was share the benefits of the product and then help others to share. Helping others to succeed allows us to succeed!!
Why wouldn’t everyone want better health physically and financially!!!!
