Stories and Testimonials

I highly recommend the herbal health drink FirstVitaPlus. So far this is the most effective herbal product I tried.

 

Drop quick note

My sister recommended the product to me.

I used to have high blood pressure up to 140 over 100.

After two weeks of drinking FirstVitaPlus, my blood pressure now becomes around 120/80.

I used to have frequent migraine headaches, now only very seldom.

FirstVitaPlus is a vegetable in a drink.

The 5 + 1 combination of these potent power herbs boosts energy , stimulates the healthy mind, relieves stress, gets rid of toxins and pollutants in the body system.

Each sachet contains exactly what you need for your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fibers.

HERBS OF POWER

I learned that the active ingredients – the elements that cure human disorders- are the juice squeezed [via a cold extraction process] from the leaves of five specific vegetables:

  1. Moringa oleifera: Horseradish tree  (malunggay in the Philippines;maroom in Thailand; sajina in Southern India; mоринга масличная in Russia; kelor in Indonesia)

  2. Corchorus olitorious: Mallow (saluyot in the Philippines; mloukhiya in Arabic; ramput bayam in Indonesia; モロヘイヤ or moroheiya in Japan)

  3. Capsicum frutescens: Chili (talbos ng sili in the Philippines; bai prik khi noo in Thailand; dahun cabe merah in Malay)

  4. Amaranthus spinosus: Pigweed (kulitis or uray in the Philippines;rajeera or cheera  in India; phak khohm or ผักขม in Thailand; bayam in Indonesia), and

  5. Ipomoea batatas: Morning glory or Cardinal creeper (talbos ng kamote in the Philippines; kangkung hutan in Indonesia; pak bung in Thailand)

MANILA’S MIRACLE POWDER

I, the hedonist, now have a mission. How did I get into this? Here’s a shortened version of the story.

HOME AGAIN

When I arrived in Manila in December 2011, Susan Toribio, a former classmate from Ateneo, told me about Vitaplus,  a powdered orange drink that can’t be bought from stores, only from dealers. It’s like Tang: mix with water and drink.

 

There's always a crowd at Vitaplus in Ortigas.

The Vitaplus office in Ortigas was always crowded whenever I visited: at least 2,000 persons were meeting, talking, carting out bags of the product into taxis, cars and vans. Why was this product selling like crazy?

First, I heard many people claim that drinking this powder it cures diseases such as goiter, different cancers, asthma, psoriasis, and so on.  I was skeptical.

A dalandan (orange) juice that can cure different kinds of cancer? Doctors thatcancel surgery for patients who drank the guyabano (soursop) juice? A cure-allpowder for acromegaly, cysts, leukemia, and heart problems? Come on.

I dismissed the whole thing and went on to enjoy the longest Christmas celebration in the world, which one can only enjoy in the Philippines.

 

MESSAGE FROM BANGKOK

Then, in the middle of my vacation, Mr. Songpol Kaopatumtip, my chief editor at the Bangkok Post, said that he was waiting for my next story. So I began investigating this “miracle powder.”

I found a lot of material online saying either one of two things: (1)  that someone is cured of a disease or disorder by drinking it, or (2) that someone earns much money by selling it.

A dealer can earn up to PHP 15,000  (USD350;  THB10,800; IDR3 million) a week…. per week? That’s a month’s salary for a copywriter in Manila.  So I dug some more.

I found more than 227  related videos, testimonials, blogs, and websites online, mostly in Tagalog, a few in English. I talked to people who told me about how this juice cured various diseases. They allowed me to take photos and to record them.

 

Doctors and nurses in Manila prescribe VitaPlus.

I learned that a growing number of doctors and nurses in Manila are prescribing this “miracle powder” to their patients.

I got specific names of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. (I should contact them soon.)
