MonaVie Success Stories
12-year-old, diagnosed with arthritis three years ago
My son, Michael Koralewski, is 12 years old. Three years ago, he was diagnosed with arthritis. Michael had been suffering constantly with pain and low energy for years and he never looked well. It brought me great pain and sadness to watch what he had to go through.
Michael was taking ONDANSTETRON, METHOTREXATE (pill and injectable liquid) and APO-NAPROXEN. While I appreciate all the doctors and specialists tried to do for Michael, the medications had side effects and he would often feel very sick, sometimes vomiting. The IV injections would last for four-five hours which was really uncomfortable for a 12-year-old boy. It was very painful for me as a mother to watch my son in constant pain, looking pale, unhappy and unable to go out and play with his peers. I really didn't know what kind of life was in his future...
Thanks to God! One day in February, my mom came to the house with a bottle of "wine" (MonaVie). She told me she bought it for Michael because somebody said it may be able to help with arthritis pain. Honestly, I didn't pay too much attention to it. My son had the best specialist in town and he was taking the most advanced medications for years, yet nothing happened. How can I trust a wine-like juice? I thought, “There’s nothing to lose in trying it, because it's just fruit juice."
A miracle happened! One week later, Michael told me his joints were not as stiff and he had less pain. I had not seen the rosy color on Michael's face since he was eight years old. Our family was so happy! After the first bottle was finished, we continued with another bottle and I definitely could see the improvement. Before taking MonaVie, I had to help him put his clothes on and he wasn't able to raise his arms or go up stairs without assistance. Now he can do this all by himself. He has more energy and his appetite has improved. After almost three months on the product, Michael can now do the crossbar from one end to the other! This is something he's never even tried to do before.
I really appreciate MonaVie for providing this excellent product! MonaVie has given me hope that now and in the future Michael will live a normal life and be just like the other boys. I cannot express how grateful and how happy I am!
God bless!
