...im pretty sure its all hype or a scam, but im willing to at least give it a shot.

i am NOT willing to give my credit card number online for it though (too many CC scams with it) so thats y i want to find somebody local and just pay cash for it.

ive heard doctors for it, against it, and indifferent to it. the most logical thing ive heard is that "meh, its a fruit. yeah, it does have some vitamins and minerals u need... but its no miracle drug" which seems sensible. so i at least want to try it for the taste.

if it grows my hair back, drops 10 pounds of fat, clears up my skin, and makes my wang bigger.. well, those will be pleasant side effects.

anybody know where i can find it??

I quit giving out nutritional advice here (or anywhere on the internet for that matter) a while ago. But I will pass on one question I ask all of my patients/clients in this situation "Can you tell me you have addressed every possible issue with your current diet?". It never fails that after doing a simple 3 to 7 day diary that there are gaping holes of insufficiency and excess that can be addressed at most grocery stores.



I then take their Acai money and buy whores. Wink

People are always looking for the magic solution to health. Truth is many factors contribute to heath. Health is available from common things and is usually not expensive.

To make money advertisers must convince you are lacking in something and provide you with that something. The more rare they can make that something seam the more they can sell it for.

Rather than tell you about something you can easily get for a cheap price it must be a new wonder drug or the toe of albino seal that only is found once a year on a little Island in Alaska.

Last summer I started a thread discussion about this trend being all the rage back in Canada, how popular acai berries are (along with Hannah Montana and electric bikes).

Check it out:

I love that tropicana acai-raspberry juice. No concentrate. Yum.

Too bad I can't find it here. Health benefits? Whatever, I don't care.. it just tastes good (and mixes well with rum or vodka..)
