Next time you read about acai berry cleanse scams think about this: acai berries have been a staple food of Central and South American tribes for centuries, like rice is for the Chinese, or ketchup for Americans.

Picture this: Deep in the Amazon – a wooden home with wide opened windows on all sides, children gathering around you, all collecting together to observe one of the tribal elder women prepare the same acai that is used in acai berry colon cleanses. The acai in your acai berry cleanses, of course, are prepared in U.S. FDA approved facilities, but just for reference, let’s look at what it’s been like for the people who were using acai long before such things as “acai berry colon cleanse supplements”.

All by hand, she grinds the acai berries through fibrous mats, the juice (along with a bit of finely ground pulp) dripping into a container beneath. After a 1/2 hour she gives you a spoon and you heartily dunk into into this rich, thick reddish-purple mixture of fresh acai juice and pulp and sink it into your watering mouth, experiencing a flavor previously unbeknownst to you. And shortly thereafter, a clarity of mind, a fixity of focus, a boost of energy, mood, and vitality come over you.

The same as when you take that same acai berry all these hundreds of years and miles later in your acai berry cleanse.
