About me and my experience with this wonderful fruit I have struggled with tumors, have had several surgeries but they are still attached to my spine. Dr.'s gave up on me and the pain it caused and I almost gave up my self, If it wasn’t for being a single mother of 4 boys I might have given up. They have really helped me through this and I love them all. I started drinking Mona vie acai berry drink and honestly I feel so much better with the pain the fatigue and just all over. Now this is my personal testament re acai berry drink but I'm not going to question it! I wish I could grow my own tree. I will keep you up dated on my experiences with growing an acai palm.
