FTC Scare Acai Berry Sellers CCN With Lawsuit

Sam — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:01:50 +0000

Some people are finding that the best time to take the acai berry pills is when they are going to be awake for a period of time. The reason is that the energy levels that are attained by taking this product will bring new life to the body that might make it difficult for some people to sleep.

They will think of all kinds of things they could be doing rather than sleeping and that might not be the best thing for them if they genuinely need a good night’s rest. The things that will make for better usage is to follow the directions.

US District judge order CCN to stop ALL acai berry internet operations

More than a year after the US attorney general issued a $1.37 million dollar fine against Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN) for deceptive business practices that didn’t have much effect, it looks like CCN will finally be shut down. The FTC followed up and convinced a US district judge to issue the injunction against CCN, which effectively halts ALL their operations

After listening to consumers complaints for 2 years now, the FTC has taken action again. They convinced a US federal district judge to issue an injunction against one of the biggest companies behind the Acai Berry Free Trial scams, Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN), effectively halting all their internet operations and freezing their bank accounts.

Its about time! Yes, the FTC is a government bureaucracy, so moves very slowly. They’ve been inundated with complaints from tens of thousands of irate consumers now, with estimates of over a MILLION victims of these scams. To be fair, they did make a case A YEAR ago against a Texas man who was a force behind these schemes in the early days. He quit the business and was fined a few thousand dollars – about what you pay for a big traffic ticket!

Here’s the strange part of the big fuss they are making about this single case - The US attorney general made a big fuss in June 2009 about a record fine against an acai berry distributor. Guess who it was? CCN! With hundreds of websites and dozens of companies pushing these scams all over the internet, the FTC makes a big deal about a court decision to stop the SAME COMPANY that the US attorney general supposedly shut down OVER A YEAR AGO! Please forgive my cynical nature, but it sounds like the different government agencies are fighting for credit over the same case. Either that, or the $1.37 million fine last year didn’t convince CCN to stop. In which case, why didn’t the US Attorney general do more LAST YEAR?

Ok, enough with being cynical. It sounds like CCN is finally being shut down. Lets hope the FTC keeps the pressure up and pursues more cases to shut down the rest of the scumbags.

The benefits my wife received from the acai berry

Sam — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:21:39 +0000

Several months ago my wife came down with an illness that really compromised her immune system. The fact that she had just came back from Argentina made me think that perhaps she caught some strange little virus or bug down there. My wife has gotten steadily better to the point where she seems like she’s back to normal health wise. One factor in all of this is the acai optimum supplement that she’s been taking. She feels that the whole spectrum of Acai benefits has helped her regain her health. I can’t really argue with the logic because her health returned after she began taking it.

The copying my teller was doing early in the morning

Yesterday morning when I got to work I was kind of surprised to see that one of the tellers was already there and hard at work on a copy machine. I work for a finance company and I have two tellers/financial representatives that work for me. I was kind of curious to see what she was copying so I walk over to her. She told me in an apologetic note that she was doing some personal copying. She told me she was copying some papers that detailed Acai benefits. I didn’t understand what she was talking about so I asked her to explain it to me.

Centuries Of Acai Use Proves It Is Effective

When my mom heard that I was taking a weight loss supplement, she wanted to know what it was. Mom has been a nurse for many years, and she wanted to make sure that I was taking a safe product.

I showed her a web site about the history of acai berry, and when she was done reading, she asked me how long I had been taking it.

I told her that I had researched acai berry too, and that if native Brazilian people had been taking it for centuries, that it was probably all right for me! I think my mom may get her own supply now that she has had to buy me smaller sized clothing.

Some of the research I did was very useful. I hope it helps:

Getting to Know the Acia Berry

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:05:08 +0000

Acia berry appears all over the place. While searching for the popular health fruit that have been advertised commercially by many Internet marketers, you may have encountered seeing Acai berry and Acia berry on the labels of the product. Both of these merchandises have the same content and have both originated from Brazil. Actually, the only difference between the two is the way the word was spelled.

Acia berry may just be an imitation of the health product that everybody talks about in your neighborhood.

Acia berry’s origins as a version of Acai berry may have been the result of a misspelled word that has been generally accepted by the public. Early popularity of the wonder berry may have been passed through conversations and vocal testimonials, which make it difficult to determine the right spelling for its hard to pronounce name, especially for English speakers.

Acia berry and acai coexist, and therefore you can find two different versions of the fruit that are in active circulation. Even though the existence of both Acai berry and Acia berry may be confusing for the market, both are generously accepted by the consumers who are benefiting from the health effects of the amazing fruit.

Acai Berry: Superfood Of Impressive Magnitude

admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:56:23 +0000

There is a lot of talk about super foods, and many people are recommending a lot of different products and foods as being ’super’. What exactly is this ’super’ suffix, though? What makes a particular food ’super’? Quickly put, a super food is one that covers many of your mineral and nutrient requirements as possible.

The acai berry has become very popular as a super food of late. It has become very popular with good reason, as really it offers benefits in terms of instant delivery of amino acids and antioxidants that beat its nearest super food rivals by an order of magnitude. The acai berry is the super super food, if you like.

While there could conceivably be some danger in consuming a lot of one particular foodstuff, this level is likely to be basically unachievable with something natural like the acai berry. The locals that harvest the acai berry in the Amazon rain forest in Brazil (where it grows on tall trees) eat a lot of acai berry. The actual figure of acai berry consumed is not known but some early reports suggest that as much as 42% of their food intake consists of raw acai berries. How is that for a very impressive figure?
