| April 22, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please I can't believe I am having this conversation. Yes, There are lot of other fish in the sea, but if you want Tuna why buy catfish. Both products you mention, MXI and Novelle are not Acai. MXI is chocolate. Now I am not dissing chocolate, it may really be healthy but its not acai and they dont talk about its ORAC score. Novelle is also not chocolate nor is it acai. Acai has other properties not related to its ORAC score and its the main reason I take it. The main reason I take it is that I tried it and amazing things began to happen. Also as I formerly stated that Brunswick doenst list its customers but have very recently been prodded to do so. I looked everywhere I could and researched every company I could find without Brunswick disclosing its customers. I was unable to find any acai that was certified, that didnt mean one didnt exist, it meant I searched and didnt find one. I still havent found one that can even compare with Euro Botanicals. This thread argues with me and every product mentioned doesnt make it. Bob, you just mentioned two and neither is even acai. The previous posters who mentioned products werent certified. Bob, please dont do anymore research, I dont want to talk about other companies and their products. MXI and Novelle have good products and I am convinced that they are what the bottle says it is, thats why Brunswick labs is important to the health comminity. I want acai and I want a high ORAC score. The regional hospital in my town and the oncologists I know want acai. No other product is being sold in any hospital that I know of like our acai. Now if you find some hospital somewhere that sells one of our competitors products, I will listen. That doesnt mean that if you find a hospital gift shop that sells snickers and since snickers is chocolate you win the argument. I'm still here, find a certified acai that comes close to our product and I will acknowledge it. Please no chocolate. As for 100 percent acai, I've covered that. Its really cheap to buy the worthless 100 percent acai seeds and sell it as 100 percent acai. It is what it is. I have adamantly stated that there are other good products out there and if you are taking one with good results, continue to take it. DO NOT dis my product with a little knowlede and a little research. Some of your statements are right off the page of some of the non certified ineffective products out there that try to confuse you. The SCIENTIFIC study done by the Univ of Fla is pretty clear, yes it was done in a lab, not the human body but I dont see anyone or any Univ studying the cancer fighting qualities of chocolate. I am getting ready to leave on a softball weekend and I wont be checking this board for a few days. Get healthy! |
| April 21, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please Bob, As I posted earlier Brunswick labs said that they were going to begin to list their customers and now they have done it. I've spent about 2 hours on their website and have examined all of the companies listed. You are correct when you say that some companies do not want to be listed. I have done my best to look at each product and most do not want to list their scores. Of those that chose to show their scores www.ebacai.com had the highest score by quite a margin. The one you listed is only a fraction of EB's. Most listed arent acai. Brunswick certifies "what it says on the bottle, is in the bottle". The products listed do not score nearly as high as EB's acai. Bob, Thanks for finding this and again, if you find an acai certified product that beats ours I will "back down". EB is actually working right now to get an even higher score. The big sellers are not close to EB's but some are still good products. Anti Oxidents in any form will will help senior players, so if you are taking any certified anti oxident product, keep it up. |
| April 19, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New HR rule Donnie, You are too nice. A forfeit and a refusal to play is never OK. We play this game to compete, to win when we can and to love the game even when we get pounded. I'd do almost anything to play against Tiger and would just hope I didnt embarrass myself. Its always a high to take the dugout across the diamond from your team. I just hope to not embarrass myself and to give you a good game. If my team forfeited a game against you, for ANY reason, I'd quit the team. If I had a player who refused to play against your team, he'd be gone. I'd much rather go 0 and six, not win a game than to stay home. Six games is a blessing from GOD. At our age be thankful to just compete. |
| April 19, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: lets move up good defenses JR, I agree with most of what you are saying. The game of softball is on a decline mostly because of classification and over the fence being an out. There are major cities in this country where the best players from 100 miles around are on the same team and play class "D". Many states have one class "C" team and no one higher. We make the same mistales in the senior game. We work hard all of our life to be able to hit one out of the park and then to be told its an out. We have players who brag to family and coworkers about their ability to play and swear to the associations that they are "AA" teams. Its a tremendous experience to play golf with Tiger Woods and only the best get a chance to play against him, they know they cant beat him but to just be in the game is a lifetime experience. In tennis its great to finally become a 64 seed and have to play against the number one seed. To advance means that sometime, somewhere you may win and move up to #63. Can you imagine a number 64 seed filing a complaint that the number one seed just hits the serve too hard and that it isnt fair. I can hear the argument that handicaps improve the game but can you imagine a 30 handicapper brag that he is a world champion and tell his co workers that he is an All American. To compete is the reason we should be playing. To improve is why we practice. Major players practice, AA players talk. Defense is just as important as offense and major teams play better defense too. AA players talk about defense but they really arent better defensively. Its not just the HR that wins games. SS-USA takes defense into consideration when classifying and so does SPA. Yes, we have too many classes, 2 would be ideal and 3 workable, 4 is just simply wrong. |
| April 19, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please Bob, I've been to Oklahoma playing ball and havent been on here for a while. I see some great comments from you. I cannot with certaincy say that www.ebacai.com has the only certified acai as Brunswick labs does not endorse or list its certified customers. There may be one out there that I havent found or for that matter that EB hasnt found either. However, the word tested and certified are two different categories. Certified means that the company REGULARLY sends in its product for Brunswick to test and therefore is certified. I still have yet to find another ACAI that is certified. There are other products certified, not acai and acai's that claim to have been tested but not cetified. I've been told that because of these uses of semantics that Bunswick is close to a decision to publish their list of certifications. I'm sure there are other acai products that are very good but we cannot be sure of their makeup because of no certification. Also, USDA approved means basicly that the facility making the product is clean, and in no way means its been tested for any of its makeup. There are so many misleading statements made by unregulated companies that we must beware as buyers. I know my acai is a great product, I've taken it, relied on its certification and had MIRACULOUS results. My closest friends know my experiences and I would never share all of them here, it would lead to senior players not believing my health gains, too numerous and just not believable, true but hard to believe. I would quickly back off of the certification issue if someone could find another acai that is certified, so far I havent seen one and hope that Brunswick will soon release the information.

| April 14, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please Blackjack13, Monavie is a great product and I'm happy to hear your results. Acai is truly the worlds most perfect food and I now there are many other Monavie customers very happy with the product. However, Monavie's ORAC scores are not certified, They claim its 1,300 per ounce and do not send samples for testing. Only Brunswick labs can certify ORAC scores as they have the patent. Monavie does not send samples to be tested and certified. Monavie wants its formula to be secret and avoids the test. That does not make it a poor product, its just not certified. Monavie is one of the most successful MLM's in history and their marketing is absolutely the best, its a bit expensive but worth the money. |
| April 13, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please Please do not think I am in any way dissing any other product. There are many good products out there and like wise there are some poor products out there. I have done extensive research and have found that www.ebacai.com is the very best I can find. After reading about Amazon Thunder I have only one basic question. Why doesnt Amazon Thunder certify their products ORAC score. They make mention of the acai berry having a high ORAC score and make mention of the scientist at Brunswick labs but they do not list their score, just acai score in general. To my knowledge only www.ebacai.com has independently certified acai. I know of some who have had their product tested but not certified. Certification is an on going process done by the patented Brunswick labs. Acai is for real and it works and there are other good products out there. Amazon Thunder may be an excellent product, I hope so, its also in the price range where it should be. Its only slightly more expensive than www.ebacai.com |
| April 12, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please DonB, I cannot tell you if earths bounty acai is what it says it is but I can tell you two things. It costs more than what I am taking and they dont talk about its ORAC score and is definitely not ORAC certified. Only Brunswick labs can certify ORAC score, it isnt costly for the company but if your product isnt certified there is no way to be sure what it is, its unregulated. To date, the only certified acai comes from www.ebacai.com |
| April 12, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call #3 Sorry John Bob, this is a time play. If the runner touches home before the out is recorded at first, the run counts. If its an appeal then it definitely happens after the run has scored and it counts. Going back to a base is not a FORCE out. |
| April 10, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Info Please There is a lot of misinformation out there on acai as its unregulated. The acai berry is similar in make up to a cherry. It has skin, pulp and pit or seed. The seed has no value whatsoever. There are companies that take the discarded seeds, grind them up and sell them as 100% acai. Its legal and it is 100% acai, however it has no value. The only certified acai so far is made by Eurobotanicals. If the product you see is not certified by Brunswick labs you cannot be sure what you are buying. Brunswick labs owns the patent to ORAC testing and they are the only ones who can certify. If the company doesnt want their product tested and verified, they have something to hide. It may be a good product, but if they fail to get it certified, something is probably wrong. Look for the Brunswick logo and its ORAC value. |
| March 23, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Powerful new joint pill There is no pill that will work like the JUICE. I am willing to talk softball or juice anytime, no pressure, just info and testimony. Jim 903 236 3459 |
| March 22, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Powerful new joint pill PattyMac, You are corrrect, Monavie is a great product, it works. However, Talk to those who have tried both Acai Juice and Monavie. Monavie CLAIMS its ORAC value is 1,300 per ounce and will not disclose further info. Acai Juice is the ONLY independently certified Acai product and it has a certified value of over 3,000 per ounce, it also costs less. Mike Macenko has taken both, ask his opinion. I've taken both, my opinion is not close. |

| March 4, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Juice results I've been to every buffet within 150 miles and I'm very nimble with a tray in hand. As soon as I put softball pants on I slow down. Speaking of buffet's, let me tell you, I've been with the two bulls and no one could eat with them. One being John (Bully) Kramer and the other Greg (The bull) Fuhrman. I swear, one time when Bully was a youngster, we went to a Denny's and I was paying. Bully ordered three complete meals when the waittress came to the table and finished it off with dessert. It was hiarious and this was just a between game snack. |
| March 3, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Why not? Bob, Terrific post. I love senior softball. The warmth that I feel when I see 2 whole teams praying together after a hotly contested game is proof to me of God's blessing upon senior softball. Sometimes in heat of battle we get a bit cranky in our desire to win but then to put it into perspective after the contest and showing our love for him and for each other is absolutely AWESOME |
| March 2, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Juice results Monavie is a great product and has had a lot of exposure. They claim that their ORAC value is 1,300 per ounce but has never had it certified. The product I am taking is certified at over 3,000 per ounce. A foot race with anyone is not on the horizon. If I've gained a step or two, Joe Flores would still be running faster backward than I could forward, I may be the slowest senior player on the planet. If there is a senior tournament anywhere in the Texas area I want to be there. I feel so good I want to play every weekend so I'll probably show up. Life is good and I'm truly blessed at the age of 66 to be on the field and feeling good. I've had 3 roomies that have passed so every weekend could be the last one, make them count. |
| March 1, 2009 jim16 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Acai Juice results I posted over a month ago and am interested to hear what ocurred to those of you who have been taking our Acai Juice. I went to the doctor monday to test my blood and it came back with NO problems. My blood pressure was 120 over 80 and my good cholesterol was up and my bad cholosterol was down farther. My PSA ws down to negligible at .004. I was a little woried about the results because this time last year I was borderline diabetic and I had eaten a whole pint of Blue Bell icecream at about midnight the night before my blood was drawn at 7:30 AM . I had only a small weight loss but Im not worried about that, it helps me hit the ball little farther. If you've been taking "The Juice" come forward and tell everyone what has happened. No exaggerating and tell if it was good results or nothing happened. Its been a miracle for me. Anyone who has seen a change in me, please post a reply to what has changed about me or about anyone you know who is taking it. Take the time to go Mike Macenko's website and see what he has to say about Acai Juice and be sure to look at his before and after picture. If you have any questions, you can call me Jim Cary 903 236 3459 or email me at jimcary16@hotmail.com Life is terrific and softball is cranking up. |
| Feb. 13, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bump ups Thats true except when we brag to co workers, wives and grandchildren. |
| Feb. 3, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Somebody needs to say it! DBO's just aint the way its meant to be. I like pitching but when the HR is an out, I DO NOT want to be on the mound in M+. We would have more teams in M+ if we didnt glorify winning a national title in AA. Major plus players know you've got it right (Curt and Audie) but the rules arent made for us. The rules are made for the masses because the masses pay the bills. Major plus is not a profitable division in softball. Its the same reason no one ever holds an "A" tournament in the flat belly world, Who would show up? If we could get the best players to show up and play major ball we could have the rules the way they are supposed to be. Until then DBO's and PPR's will be in the game. |
| Feb. 3, 2009 jim16 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Howards Furniture Oh yes I remember those boys and what fond memories they are. However, my vote for the most dominating team ever is the Campbells Carpets bunch. Many players played for both teams over the years but the deepest and best were Campbells. The teams I played on actually had a winning record against Howards but Campbells beat us like step children. Campbells could pound you with defense if the wind was blowing in. They could put in a left handed line up if the HR was easy to right. right. I wont bore you with the names but when you get to the 18th player on the roster and he's all world its just didnt seem fair. Yes, Howards and Steeles were great teams but Campbells, OH MY. If Big Cat and Bruce had played for Campbells they would have them all. |
