What Makes
Youngevity Different?
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 Youngevity
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. I
remember growing up as a small
child and young boy, as wemoved 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.
