I have been fortunate (so far) to not suffer from major symptoms of an illness. Many testimonials on this site have raved about the effectiveness that Via has in relieving discomforts and challenges in the body. My testimonial is the result of pleasant surprises and prevention.
Having no expectations of the product,I began taking Via early in April 2004 and have noticed many benefits of the phytotonic.
My gums have always bled while brushing my teeth for as long as I can remember. That no longer is the case.
I am experiencing the symptoms associated with menopause but on a much reduced level; no night sweats and minor mood swings.
My thought processes seem to be more acute and the eye-hand coordination I experience in my favorite sport has improved my game...and attitude!
I take Via for occassional headaches instead of reaching for my Tylenol.
I firmly believe that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". I plan to take Via for the rest of my life. Heart disease runs in my family and I would like to change the pattern of the progression.
I can't imagine not having Via!

I really love the taste and the benefits my family and I have had from Via. My children refuse to swallow pills. It is very hard to get them to eat as good as they should or take any medicines. When I gave them the Via they drink it down quickly without any complaints. We have been healthier than we have ever been. When the flu was going around my children's school neither one of them caught it. My husband and I have also managed to escape it. I believe that Via made our immune system stronger to fight off the germs around us.
We will continue to live healthier and stronger with Via as our morning drink before breakfast. My daughter and I also taken it for headaches and for menstral cramps. It takes the pain away within minutes. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful product.

I started using Via in September, and was taking the recommended amount. I am a skeptic, so I decided to put it to the test and not take a flu shot and see what happened. I'm a Respsiratory Therapist, so I'm exposed to lots of viruses and bacteria, and I share a home with my son, daughter-in-law and 7 year old granddaughter.
In November, my family came down with nasty colds with lots of coughing and sneezing, and I waited to see if I would catch it like I usually would. I didn't. My son told me that if I didn't catch that cold, he was going to start taking Via, which he has.
I started feeling ill just before Christmas and called my friend who signed me up and told her my experiment was failing, the bugs had caught up with me. She said to drink a glass of Via . I did, and the VERY NEXT DAY my symptoms were gone! No sore throat, no sneezing, no stuffy head, nothing!
I ran out of "juice" a couple of weeks ago, and noticed that the energy I had gained since taking Via was gone. My shoulders ached again, like they did before Via, and my lower back was bothering me again. I'm a true believer, and I hope I never run out of Via again.

I had been on Via 3 months when I ran out and was without it for 3weeks. The evening I re-started my Via, I had so much energy and sense of well-being I did not even want to go to bed that night. Within weeks a swollen gland (that had been checked out by my Dr.) on my neck went down which thrilled me.
What I love about my Via is:
1. I sleep more soundly.
2. I seem to eat less. It must be leveling out my blood sugar. I feel better in my clothes and I feel I look and feel more healthy and vital.
3. I feel more emotionally even.

My life and body have changed since taking Via. On an ongoing basis and especially in the Fall when the weather begins to change I would have a big muscle knot in my upper back start aching with excruciating pain . Across my shoulders below my neck would feel like it was on fire. In fact if someone would just gently put their arm around me it would really hurt just to touch that area. During this time I would be going to the acupuncturist and masseuse regularly and take lots of antiinflammatories like Ibuprofen. Since I have started taking Via this pain has all but disappeared and I have much more energy. My upper back and shoulder area feel very loose and comfortable. I also do not have PMS symptoms...no bloating, mood swings....cramping..it's wonderful! Something else has also happened since taking Via. I used to bruise very badly on my legs at the slightest bump especially from my Labrador dogs playing and jumping. Now I hardly ever bruise and when I do, it is mild and goes away quickly. I will be taking this phytonectar food, Via, the rest of my life!

Donna S. had been so excited about Via I immediately started visualizing my husband having to take less medication. He is one of the main reasons that I started with Via.
He has been on 13-14 medications a month. He was sent home one day with severe chest pains, the doctor took blood work and put him on cholesterol pills and nitro spray. His Triglycerides were almost in the 500 level and his cholesterol was in about 420 level. The doctor told him that he would have to go on a very strict diet they thought he may be diabetic. We started to eat a little healthier but seemed to fall off the plan easily and continued to eat normal. He was really skeptical when I told him I have started Via, but when my shipment came in he opened the box, unpackaged it and read the bottle. That night of October 22, 2003 I was taking my very first dose and he asked where his was. I was so shocked but eagerly poured his as well. In about a month he went back to get his blood work in about 3 days we received a letter from the doctor saying that he had EXCELLENT improvement they levels for both had gone almost to the normal range. We truly believe that Via was the reason. Thank you Via!

I have been struggling with my feet, I have messed up the plantar fascia in the bottom of both feet. This has been affecting me for about 6 years. I could not stand still for 5 minutes without being in so much pain. I have bursitis in my right arm, my neck and shoulders ache as if someone has lit a torch to my back. The doctor told me I had acid reflux and put me on medication. This time last year I was so sick with Severe sinus infection and severe upper respitory infection. I was out of pocket for 3 weeks. Thanks to Via I have not had to take any medication for acid reflux, sinuses or have not had pain in my shoulder, neck, arm or my feet. I can stand longer periods of time without having to find a chair to sit down.
Thank you Via for a wonderful product.

My 84 year old grandmother has also tried Via Viente and loved it. She is a diabetic as well. I overheard her tell my mother 3 weeks after starting Via that she could move her left arm higher than she had been able to in a few years.
Thank you,

I want to let everyone know what benefits I have recieved from the via. I have connective tissue disorder or Lupus. I have to control my pain and stiffness in my joints or not be able to function with my ADL {activities of daily living}. The Via's anti-inflamatory properties and analgesic properties do just that. I have the joy of freedom of pain and therefore I can go about my ADL unimcumbered without stiffness and pain in my joints. My immune system is also elevated so I do not have to deal with chronic infections of the upper respiratory tract as I once did. I have incredible energy. My friends and family marvel at all I can accomplish in my life. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother of 6 beautiful grandchildren. I can jump, dance and play games with them now! I'm an RN by profession working to help people STAR {see the answer real} for renewed health and hope with this great product. Via thank you.
