What
makes Youngevity different from ALL other companies? Dr.
Wallach’s passion for the benefits of good nutrition! That’s
easy to say, but how can we back that up?
Dr. Wallach
has been involved in Bio-medical research and treating animals
and people for more than 40 years. Dr. Wallach and Yongevity
have filed several Health Claim petitions with the FDA and
obtained two Qualified Health Claims. This is an important
fact since no other NetWork Marketing company has obtained
even one Health Claim. There are only a handful of Authorized
Health Claims, which have been fully vetted by the FDA process.
This vision
and Passion begins with Dr. Wallach’s career path. He chose
to become a Veterinarian and he began doing research with
animals early on in his career. He even worked with Mutual
of Omaha’s Marlin Perkins. Being trained as both a Pathologist
and an Exotic Animal Vet, afforded him many research opportunities.
He even made the monumental discovery of the First case
of Cystic Fibrosis in a non-human while doing research at
the Yerkes Primate Center in Atlanta, Ga., in the fall of
1977. This set Dr. Wallach’s path in search of more research
for the Trace Mineral Selenium.
Dr. Wallach
began working on an extraordinary book which took more than
20 years to complete. This book wound up consisting of more
than 1200 pages! “Diseases of Exotic Animals” was a huge
project that represents Dr. Wallach’s passion and vision.
Steve Wallach, son of Dr.Wallace says, " I remember
growing up as a small child and young boy, as we moved from
Zoo to Zoo, and house to house, I would have to tip toe
around the house, being careful not to knock over any of
the piles of paperwork. This book was a huge project, just
think back to the 60s and 70s, there were no commercially
available computers! He had to type this thing by hand,
and he can’t type! He types with two fingers! Just think,
if you were going to work on such a big project that would
take more than 20 years to complete! Could you stay focused
for that long? That takes Passion and dedication!"
Well Youngevity
is just an extension of that Passion and Vision. The Health
Claim Petition process is just an extension of that Vision
and Passion as well!
What’s involved
in the Health Claim Petition Process and is it really a
big deal? Well let’s take a look. How many here have ever
heard of Folic Acid? Have you ever heard a PSA (Public Service
Announcement) for Folic Acid? You know, the March of Dimes
now runs TV announcements as to the importance of Folic
Acid and that women of child bearing age should be consuming
Folic Acid to reduce their risks of having a child with
a Neural Tube Birth Defect. Well those claims had to be
litigated! Yes, that’s right, the FDA did not want these
claims to be freely disseminated! The FDA had to be SUED,
and the courts agreed that this information should be allowed
to be given to the public. Since these claims were allowed
by the courts, these Birth Defects have declined by 50-70%
in the US and parts of Canada! Just think of the many thousands
of children born healthy that would not have been with out
the dissemination of this information! Now many industrialized
nations are disseminating this information. We believe that
the public is better off by getting more information to
better come to an educated decision regarding their own
health. The FDA believes the public’s access to health information
should be limited to what The FDA allows, which is quite
limited. |
