Although medical treatment today focuses on pharaceuticals and surgery, there is a growing awareness in the health community of the tremendous potential of natural alternatives especially well researched, super nutritional foods like the acai berry, the little purple fruit from the amazon.

The potential impact this amazing superfood could have on the world health is astounding. Acai is being embraced enthusiastically by a growing number of medical doctors and health professionals.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D., The New York Times best selling author recently stated: "It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you've likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai (ah-SIGH-ee) is the high energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit (The Perricone Promise, pages 62-63, Time Warner Books, 2004)
