    Hello Everyone
    Has anyone heard of the mirical powers of Intra Juice, my partner chatted with me and tried to explain how a bottle of vitamins/herbs/juice costing 1800p can cure everything from baldness to cancer.
    It seems to be popular in the PH but little anywhere else, i'm thinking this is another mirical being offered to those who can afford it and those clinging to any hope that it can improve their lives.
    Any thoughts...
    Have a great day

    Ivan:smile:

    Intra Juice is a multi level network scheme like "Amway" where they sell you bottles of the stuff. Yes, your right, it claims to be the the mother of all cures, but wouldn't eating and exercising the right way do the same for your health? At 1800 pesos a bottle....this is more important than buying a helmet... :smile:

    There are alot of other miracle 'cures' such as water from salt lake in Utah. Taken daily it balances the ummune system of the body and gives you better skin...does not make it whiter though and it can also cure cancer.

    Half of these things are like the placebo affect.

    Like anything, it is all in the mind. The human body is one complicated machine and can heal itself. I believe in positive thinking and laughing alot....it may be interesting, but if you have not seen the documentary THE SECRET, it showcases illnesses from cancer to broken bones all being helaed from positive thinking alone. All sceptics should have a watch as it is FREE and wont cost you anything apart from having a good life!

    Enjoy.

    What utter, total, completely irresponsible crap, scams that fleece money from the desperately ill.
    Water from a salt lake in Utah sounds like yet another scam from a certain "church" with a headquarters there.
    Cures cancer??? Cures baldness ??? Heals broken bones ??? Positive thinking ??? I positively think that I can fly, therefore I can ??
    What total bullshit. If you are sick, get qualified expert medical advice and help.
    Elixir of Life ?? Snake oil ?? Miracle cure ?? Quack quack.

    Interesting fact about Beer

    THE BRAIN CELL THEORY

    It's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

    In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells, but naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first, in this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

    ................. although I am told, from a very reliable source, that it can also make you fall asleep at a very inappropriate moment, before a particular task has been completed, even though someone else is doing most of the work. :o
