Greetings!

I want to thank all of our great customers for your support.  We are working very hard to bring the best exotic juices to you.  We are making more improvements internally to better serve you, your family and friends.  As a physician and surgeon I recognize and appreciate the importance of prevention.  I am confident that you will enjoy the same benefits from drinking your favorite Dr. Tim's Exotic Juice as my family and I experience. 

Over the years it has been difficult for us to find those things that are all natural, free from preservatives and added sugars that taste good and are packed with antioxidants, polysaccharides and amino acids.  That is why I developed the processing technology and began this company. 

Now, in my own family we use these juices to not only stay healthy during cold and flu season but also to support overall improved health and energy levels.  Even my daughter who has Down Syndrome and is perhaps the pickiest of eaters asks for her Acai every morning.  We have to keep the bottle hidden so she won't drink the whole bottle in one setting. 

As a company we are dedicated and committed to you and will continue to improve our customer care.   I want to wish you all a very happy thanksgiving.

Have Fun, Drink More and Live Active!

Acai pills and powders fail in efficacy and effectiveness

Recently there seems to be a lot of debate regarding the efficacy and efficiency of liquid dietary supplements such as the exotic juices vs. the pill or powder form of the same.  This debate seems to be driven by a group of less than educated marketers grasping at any angle regardless of how impossible it might be to promote a poorly manufactured diet pill.  So, let's define efficacy and effectiveness.  First, efficacy is the ability to produce an intended result.  The problem with the claims of the pill promoters is that they claim that an Acai pill will magically melt away pounds without exercise or dietary restrictions.  Although Acai is an impressive fruit that has been categorized as a "super fruit" it does not possess the magic to create fast significant weight loss.  The truth is that Acai is very high in antioxidants and as a result improves the function of cells.  For some people it has become a useful addition to a sound exercise and diet plan.  At best Acai is modestly efficacious in this regard but only when added to a sensible exercise and diet plan.  Acai is not the driving force in weight loss.  There is no scientific literature supporting the claims made by these companies.  Some things to consider before using an Acai diet pill include the fact that these marketers do not disclose all of the ingredients in the pill they push.  Also the pills are a white color.  Acai is full of anthocyanins that are very dark purple.  How could there possible be any Acai in those pills?  So how much Acai, if any is really in those pills?  What else is in those pills?  Acai does not have the ability to provide the intended result of significant weight loss in a short amount of time.  

Effectiveness is defined as producing a desired or intended result.  So far these pill companies have yet to provide credible results and or testimony.  Oh sure there are some blog sites and what appears to be faux product review web sites that tout extraordinary claims and outrageous testimonials.  These are merely tools of the expert marketer.  These are deceptive practices they employ to appeal to the vain desires of a consumer base obsessed with immediate gratification and vain desires.  When we as consumers disregard common sense and reason and fail to do even the slightest bit of research we make easy prey for these spurious business tactics.  Additionally it is a well known medical fact that liquid is more readily absorbed than solids.  That is one of the reasons that cold and cough medication comes in a liquid form.  As physicians when we want a quick uptake of an oral medication for our patients we always look for a liquid form.  Another thing to consider is that any fruit especially exotic fruit must be sterilized or sanitized to be made safe for consumption.  That means the powder that goes into these pills would have to be steam sterilized or irradiated.  Not to mention the fact that the process of reducing a fruit juice to a powder dramatically reduces the potency of that juice.  But, hey we don't expect these marketing machines to bother knowing the details of their product.  In the end nothing works better than a pure fruit juice that has been cold processed and cared for properly to ensure potency and bioactivity.

More on Diet and Nutrition from Dr. Tim
  
For years, nutritionists have been telling us that we Americans are generally under nourished or malnourished.  Most of us did not listen nor care.  We eat what we want or what is most available or fastest or the most inexpensive foods, but we ignore or forget the consequences of being poorly nourished.  The result has been a huge increase in obesity, weight-related diseases like diabetes, or diseases of the heart and digestive system.  Now, people are beginning to listen more carefully to what the experts in human nutrition have been saying.

Getting good advice about correct nutrition is nothing new, however.  In 1368, a Chinese scholar wrote: "Food and drink are relied upon to nurture life.  But if one does not know the nature of substances (that) one consumes, the vital organs will be thrown out of harmony and disastrous consequences will soon arise."   It is safe to say that most of us are "out of harmony" as far as our diets and nutrition are concerned.

What is a healthy, nutritious diet? It is recognized that a well-balanced diet is by far the best is one that includes vegetables and fruits, avoids saturated fats and makes sure we get the recommended essential vitamins, proteins and fiber every day.  Many Americans hope to get their vitamins and minerals from pills and capsules without doing the research as to correct dosage nor mix of either vitamin types nor the best concentrations.  Experts claim that many such vitamins and minerals are lost and never used by the body.  What to do?

For centuries, people that live near the Amazon River and its tributaries have been noted for their excellent physical condition and endurance.  The nutritional balance of the food and drinks they use has been studied and found to be extraordinarily beneficial to the people.  They eat and drink natural foods on a daily basis and one of their staples and favorites are dishes and drinks made from the Acai berry that grows on the Acai palm tree.   The daily fare for the native people includes not only fresh fish, but also acai foods and drinks.   But wait, you don't have to travel to the Amazon to enjoy the benefits of Acai.
 
Here's our recommendation for a natural and tasty product that will to help you get the vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein you need.  Our concentrated Acai Juice is rapidly gaining popularity as a nutritiously balanced drink that will help you feel better while you enjoy the benefits of better nutrition.  Try it!  It also tastes great!
