The latest/greatest fad

So for the past month and a half I have been a "follower" of the latest/greatest fad. It all started with my hairdresser. She ketp going on and on about this "MonaVie" stuff and how great her and her husband were feeling by drinking it and on and on and on. I have always been more than reluctant with stuff like this......for isntance.....the Atkin's Diet, SlimFast, JuicePlus.....I never bought into. I always had an advantage in that I knew just enough about nutrition to know better.
After I had several patients with Parkinson's Disease confess that their symptoms were improving after drinking this "wonder juice" I decided I would give it a go. I bought 2 bottles at the "introductory rate" and kept up with my one ounce, 2 times per day for about 5 weeks. I started noticing some interesting things, for sure. Well, the race I ran.....I shattered my previous mile times.....my digestion has improved.....however I am still reluctant.
BUT......today was a true test. I had some blood work done. Not that I had any problems, but I figured I would compare my bloodwork pre-MonaVie to post-MonaVie. My results are pretty interesting:

08/2007: Blood pressure: 123/80, pulse: 41 bpm
Total cholesterol: 197, HDL: 97, Glucose: 86

04/2008: Blood pressure: 122/80, pulse: 44 bpm
Total cholesterol: 177, HDL >100, Glucose: 74

So, I managed to decrease my cholesterol 20 points, increase my HDL (HEALTHY cholesterol) AND decrease glucose......now I am confuzzled again.....is this REALLY "wonder juice"?
