Our customers speak out....

Recently I have been reading headlines that mislead consumers about ACAI. They are simply ads for other products aimed at selling consumers something that is loosely connected. Acai is a Super Food but not as a stand alone diet product.
The Oprah show that highlighted this berry as a superfood explains it best. This berry contains the most individual food components. It has protein, Carbs, fat, in addition to Omega 3 and 6, b vitamins for energy along with an impressive orac value. THAT’S IT. Yes, you could sustain life on this berry if it was the only choice and that what makes it a superfood. You don’t need to supplement many other components for a healthily diet.
Any product with this profile could be used in a diet, fulfill some dietary elements and with the proper exercise program can and will allow you to lose weight. But dieting is a lifestyle choice, eating healthy is suggested, along with moderation and control. This with a comprehensive exercise program will help many people. But there is no magic pill, you will not be able to take some Acai pill, Cleanse your system lose 10 lbs in 48 hours and keep it off without commitment to the lifestyle change. And no doctor will recommend this type of diet.
But Dr Tim’s Acai is a very powerful juice that helps in so many ways it can be and should be part of your diet to get all the good from this one organic berry. So enjoy the beverage, drink it as a juice, add it to other beverage and continue to be health conscience.
What I think is the true Super Drink, is the ISO-5. This really fits such an important part of our lifestyle. A sports drink with nothing added Nothing Artificial, and containing all the essential electrolytes. I love this drink and so do my kids. Keep up the good work.

Is Acai a Miracle Food?

Just what is all of the hype about acai? By now you probably have the knowledge that acai is a fruit that is found in the rain forests of Brazil. A lot of claims are made about acai, without the scientific research to support those claims. But we do know quite a bit about acai, and because of what we do know, we should include it in our daily diet.

1. It is rich in vitamins and minerals
2. It is a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid
3. It is a rich source of antioxidants, which are absorbed well by the body

Is acai going to cure disease, help you look and feel younger or help you lose weight? It is possible, but these claims still need to be supported by scientific research. Fortunately, researchers are studying acai, and the studies that we see support including acai in the diet. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables in the diet is what nutritionists and dietitians recommend. Drinking Dr. Tim's Acai Juice, along with his other botanical juices is a great way to boost your fruit and vegetable intake! A healthy diet is a factor in overall good health, and this is a claim that has been scientifically substantiated!

Top Ten Beverages to Drink in 2009

According to University of Utah nutritionist, Rachel Jones, acai juice is one of the top ten drinks we should be consuming in 2009. She appeared on KSL's Studio 5 this morning. She said that acai is a "fantastically powerful antioxidant" and that acai and other dark purple, dark blue juices can reverse the aging process.

One of the other types of beverages she discusses are "green drinks" because of the magnesium in them. Acai happens to be a fruit juice that is magnesium rich.

No doubt about it, acai is definitely a beverage you will want to include in your diet this year! Of course, you'll want to choose Dr. Tim's Acai Juice. When you look at other brands on the market, you get more pure acai for less money with Dr. Tim's juices.

Nutrient Content of Acai

Just exactly why is acai considered to be a superfood?

There have been many articles in the mainstream media about acai being a powerful antioxidant, but until recently, there hasn't been a lot of reputable data on acai. Paul M. Gross, PhD., did a review of the current scientific literature regarding acai. He looked at the nutritional content of acai and compared it to other berries such as goji and blueberry, which are known to be highly nutritious. He showed that acai is higher in beneficial fat, vitamins A and E, minerals and fiber. He had positive conclusions regarding acai, especially when it comes to the potential for prevention of chronic diseases saying,

"Dozens of diseases have a component of oxidative stress at their origins, such as chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer, and so may be prevented or inhibited by high-antioxidant fruit like açaí."

Start The New Year Eating Nutritiously!

Ring out the old and ring in the new! If you haven't already, start 2009 by incorporating healthy eating habits into your diet.

What is a healthy diet? A healthy diet includes foods that are nutrient dense, meaning that they are high in beneficial nutrients when compared to the caloric value of the food. How does this translate into foods that you should eat? Dr. Perricone, a noted physician has a great slide show over at Oprah.com that summarizes his picks of "good foods". You can access the slide show here. Each of the foods he lists are high in beneficial nutrients. You'll note on slide number 9, that acai juice is listed as one of the beneficial beverages he lists. A healthy diet will help prevent chronic disease conditions that are so prevalent in society today.

Here at Dr. Tim's Juices, we provide a superior acai juice. It is 85% pure acai puree which is superior to other juices on the market. We do not add any preservatives, sugar or fillers. Try our Acai, we know that you'll benefit from drinking it and enjoy the flavor.

Here's to you and yours for a happy, healthy new year!

Embrace the power of purple and the benefits of the blues.

This is what David Grotto, nutritionist and registered dietitian, author of "101 Foods That Could Save Your Life" has to say about the importance of eating fruits such as acai that are high in anthocyanins; “Add purple-blue foods to your diet - dried plums, raisins, eggplant, acai, beans (aduki), concord grapes, elderberries, potatoes, red cabbage. They are rich in plant chemicals such as anthocyanins and polyphenols, which have been found to aid in:

- Thinking quicker on your feet. (Purple-blue foods protect the brain from the effects of aging and help aid in memory recall.)

- Preventing artery-clogging plaque from building up. Concord grape juice also has been found to reduce inflammation of the arteries; concord grapes help raise HDL, the good cholesterol that keeps the bad cholesterol (LDL) in check.”

Acai has some interesting anti-inflammation properties. The buzz today is about inflammation being one of the big disease processes. It affects everything from our joints to our arteries. We have had many positive reports from our customers of the success of obtaining relief from the aches and pains of inflammatory disease from adding Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai and Dr. Tim’s Thai Mangosteen to their diets.

Have a hangover? ISO-5 to the rescue!

With the Holidays upon us many of us will spend more time socializing at parties. From the office party to the big celebration when we usher in the New Year many will gather and imbibe. For those who may be inclined to include the consumption of alcohol in these celebrations I want to give you a way to combat the negative effects of the dreaded hangover. A hangover is a condition related to dehydration. Alcohol can cause the body to lose 3% more body fluid in a 4-hour period, leading to dehydration even quicker (5). So here are a couple of suggestions; Don’t drink and drive. Drink Dr. Tim’s ISO-5 which has all of the necessary electrolytes and the right carb to protein ratio. It is the most efficient and effective rehydration drink available. It is powered by young coconut water and is all natural without any added sugars. It is delicious with a unique and alluring smooth finish.

Global obesogenic environment

In the December 18, 2008 Newsweek article by Mary Carmichael, she reports on an interview she had with Barry Popkin a professor of global nutrition at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The interview was about the globalization of obesity. She asys “It's not just Americans anymore; the whole world is becoming obese, and we have more than just the advent of cheap cheeseburgers to blame.” She reports on the new book that Popkin has released “The World is Fat”. In his book he attributes the blame on this global crisis on several food items including “sugary drinks”.

He continues “What’s happened is that from 30 years ago to today, we've had an exponential explosion in what we can think of as the "obesogenic environment." You see food available everywhere. You can't move more than 100 feet without seeing a caloric beverage” “In most of the world, it used to be that people mostly drank water, and today they're consuming more and more sweetened beverages”. 22 ounces of a caloric beverage adds an extra 300 calories per day.

This is the prime reason we have developed ISO-5 our all natural Complete Hydration drink. Dr. Tim’s ISO-5 powered by young green coconut water has half the calories of any of the competing sports drinks such as Gatorade. And the sugars that are in ISO-5 are all naturally occurring from the coconut water. That means that there is no high fructose corn syrup unlike competing drinks like Gatorade. ISO-5 is all natural, delicious, rehydrating and contains all 5 necessary electrolytes. It is one of the best answers to this problem of global obesity.

Dr. Tim’s weight loss habit

Hi this is Dr. Tim, and I want to share how I am using our products to lose weight. After traveling around the world and keeping up a fast paced schedule sometimes the pounds add on. I drink one quarter to one half cup of Dr. Tim’s Brazilian Acai or a mix of all four for breakfast and lunch. I make sure that I am drinking plenty of water throughout the day. I drink one Jungle Juice per day usually in the morning around 10:00 am. That way I don’t feel hungry and then it has all day to work for me. At night I eat a reasonable low glycemic meal. I make sure that I do not eat past 8:00pm. The food you eat late at night never seems to go away if you know what I mean. I add some moderate exercise at least 3 nights per week and as often as 5 nights per week. This for me is usually a brisk walk outside or on the treadmill for 30 to 45 minutes. After just a little over two weeks I have dropped 10 lbs.

Here’s a neat little trick to help during the holidays

As you collect all of the treats from friends, neighbors, family and business wrap them up and put them in your freezer. Then on Christmas day or even New Years day bring the treats out thaw them and eat all you want. When the day is over throw out what is left. That way you can enjoy the goodies while being good. Have a Happy Holiday!

Acai #1 on Dr. Perricone's Superfood List

Many noted physicians are reporting that Acai is a top "super food" because of its high level of antioxidants, phytochemicals and essential fatty acids. Acai is considered by many to be a excellent addition to an anti-inflamatory diet. An anti-inflamatory diet is thought to prevent diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and alzheimers disease.

Over at Oprah.com, Dr. Perricone talks about his top 10 Super foods, and number one on his list is Acai. Check out the entire article here .

Beware of Acai Diet Pill Scams

Here at Dr. Tim's Juices, we are concerned that our customers always get good value for the dollar. So, it is disconcerting to see that people are getting ripped off by Acai products that will be of little to no nutritional value. Here is a link to a very good article on the problems with Acai Diet Pills on the market. Don't be duped!

What our customers have to say about the benefits of our products!

• My husband is no longer on blood pressure meds after taking Acai and Noni/Mangosteen. Naps are no longer needed either and a lot of the aches and pains have diminished. We live at 9700 feet and the extra energy we both have from taking the Acai is really helpful---and not needing as much sleep at night is an extra bonus!Carol M.

• My Husband, Brother and Mother are all using your Acai Juice and are having wonderful results. Thank you.Karen R

• I like your web site very much, have learned a lot of useful information. I look forward to receiving my first 5 Acai! I'll keep you informed. Thank you. Lana C.

• I just received the Acai on Saturday. It smells delicious! Looking forward to the Goji. Thank you - Audrey• I received the order yesterday (Monday)...very quick! The juices are wonderful. Glad I found you. Ms. Morgan S.

• I used to buy exotic juices from a multilevel marketing distributor until I found Dr. Tim's Exotic Juices. I researched the Internet and found Dr. Tim's to be the best in taste, quality and price. Why would people buy from anyone else? Thanks Dr. Tim for your great products! - Tom C.

• Wow - Noni juice with good flavor?? I was surprised at how well your Noni Juice tastes. Noni is usually so bitter, but your formulation is not. I love that it tastes so good but also is giving me so many health benefits. Great product. - Joanie M

News from Dr. Tim

Hi, I am Dr. Tim. I want to tell you why we go to so much trouble to bring to you the superior quality of our juices while keeping the price so low. I created this company with the same motto I took upon becoming a doctor; “First Do No Harm.” This has a deeper meaning than what it might seem from first glance. I have always believed that the true underlying meaning begins with the promotion of ones self, services and or product. It means that you must tell the truth! There is no harm in knowing the truth in advance of purchasing goods and or services. That is why I work so hard at sharing as much information on our web site www.brazilbotanicals.com. Then what you do must be for the good of the individual receiving the goods or services and not result in harm. I promise you that no other company in the exotic juice market Multilevel or traditional retail works so diligently as we do under this motto.

Unfortunately there are so many companies out there formed with the sole purpose of taking advantage of the consumer from the Acai Diet Pill Scam and its minion affiliate web sites to juice companies who only use the minimum amount of a juice in their product yet claim that it is the driving force behind their product. We work very hard to be a leading force in the market by delivering on two simple points: quality and value. We could charge $24 to $35 dollars per bottle, we could use reconstituted powders, we could use less juice and more fillers, we could put together a “Free Trial Offer”, we could take advantage of the consumer but WE DON’T! We respect you the customer and work hard to earn your trust. We are working against these negative trends and we take a lot of heat for it from our competitors. They don’t want us around because in telling the truth we inadvertently expose them. And our answer to them is “step up and be what you claim you are!”

Next I want to let you know that we are keeping our prices low at our expense to make sure that as many people as possible can afford the health benefits. In these tough economic times we want to make sure that everyone can have the chance of adding one or more of our exotic juices to there daily routine. On top of that is our special offer that provides for free shipping when you buy 5 or 10 bottles. Nobody else dares to do this. We do it because our great customers wanted a reward for purchasing in higher quantities. I thought it sounded reasonable so I made the decision to offer free shipping on the 5 and 10 bottle purchases. We want you to feel free to choose the amount you want to drink instead of being forced by a high cost to only drink the minimum. We want to earn your next purchase because of quality. Our great customers choose to repurchase Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices instead of being forced to purchase through some automatic recurring charge.

Finally, as a physician and a father I know the value of having such a healthy array of juices available for me and my family. We avoid so many of the colds and flu’s because we use the exotic juices in our diet. In addition to that we feel better and see how it improves our health. Pharmaceutical medicine has its place. But so much money, time and health can be saved by simply adding one of our juices to your diet. Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices are Mother Nature made and Doctor recommended. No other Exotic Juice is recommended as much as ours is by physicians and surgeons. We have pharmacies, medical clinics and rehab units using our Dr. Tim’s Exotic Juices for their patients. No other company is willing to go to such lengths to deliver a great tasting compliment of healthy Exotic Juices at reasonable prices and offer free shipping. No other company will work like we do to provide quality and value!

Have Fun, Drink More, Live Active,

Dr. Tim

Exposing the Front Men who are Marketing Acai Pills

First let's set the record straight and call out the "man behind the curtain". Just as in the popular film "The Wizard of Oz" when during Dorothy's dream she and the three others meet up with the terrible wizard. The wizard had built an elaborate hoax to convince all of the munchkins that the wizard was "all powerful" and "all knowing". Now I don't know everything in this world but what I do know is that websites such as Top-Acai-Reviews.com, AcaiBerry-Products.com, AcaiBerryRating.com, etc. are a real life incarnation of the "wizard". These are clever marketing folks who take a little morsel of the truth and morph it into a seemingly credible effort. They want the unsuspecting consumer to believe that they are an independent and unbiased information site.

The truth of the matter is that they are actively selling a product. Take this paragraph for example; "Among the most important things consumers should consider before buying an acai berry product is that the fruit is highly perishable and will begin to lose it nutritional punch within 24 hours of picked. The best way to preserve the nutritional properties of the acai berry fruit is to remove the pit from the fruit and freeze the skin and pulp and then either package the frozen skin and pulp for delivery or freeze-dry it. This is the only way to capture the full nutritional profile of the product."

The truth is acai has to be processed within four hours of picking not 24. After 4 hours the acai berry which is really a date begins to degrade and with in a few more hours and will turn rancid.

But how would they know this if they have never been there? They want you believe that freeze drying is the only way to preserve the "full nutritional profile". The truth is that all acai has to be frozen after processing or as already discussed it will spoil. Freeze drying or lypholization is process for taking a liquid and reducing it to a powder. It is subjected to extremes of temperature beyond those needed to freeze the juice during normal processing. It loses some of its potency in this process. It is true that freeze dried powder is more effective or potent than spray dried powder. They conveniently neglect to tell you about the sterilization process of the powder.

You see to use a powder of a fruit juice whether it is freeze dried or spray dried in this country it must go through a sterilization process. Two popular methods include steam sterilization and irradiation. Steam sterilization heats up the powder subjecting it to excessive temperatures. Irradiation exposes the powder to radiation. Now compare those methods to a method that cold concentrates the juice and keeps it pure and bioactive.

Powders will never be as potent, wholesome and effective as liquid.
