New reason to talk your omega 3's


A New Reason To Take Your Omega 3s
(As If You Needed One!)
In scientific research, there are independent analyses and then there are “meta-analyses”. In a meta-analysis, data from several smaller studies is combined in order to provide a larger sample size (and therefore, stronger conclusion) than any single study can.
Youngevity led the way in petitioning the Food and Drug Administration to establish health claims regarding the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (i.e., fish oil). So when a recent meta-analysis concluded that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation might help lower the level of a major risk factor for heart disease, we thought it worth bringing to your attention.
In a report published in the journal Nutrition, combined data from 11 placebo-controlled trials totaling 720 participants indicated that supplementation with omega 3 supplements at doses ranging from 0.2 to 6 grams per day was associated with lower blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine.1 At elevated levels, homocysteine is considered a major risk factor for heart disease.
While this is great news, at best, the progress towards establishing a recommended daily intake of omega-3s can be described as “glacial.” The first paper linking omega-3 intake and the risk of heart disease was published more than forty years ago! In the meantime, most Americans still aren’t getting enough of this crucial nutrient.

"Everyone who dies of natural causes really dies of a nutritional deficiency disease.”     

 Dr. Joel Wallach….

Without minerals in the body, vitamins are worthless! Even if you are eating a healthy balanced diet, and taking vitamins daily, your body is still almost certainly lacking vital nutrients. Minerals are absolutely essential for good health. Science has established that at least 28 mineral elements are indispensable for normal nutrition. They are even more important than vitamins. Lacking vitamins, the body can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.Minerals control the body’s ability to absorb, and use vitamins. Without minerals, vitamins have no purpose, and are quickly eliminated by the body. It is a huge waste of money to gobble handfuls of high potency tablets without backing them up with the right minerals.

Plant derived colloidal minerals are 98% bio-available by the body. “Colloidal” refers to the size. In the case of our minerals, the particle size is 7000- 10,000 times smaller than a red blood cell, thus greatly increasing the absorption. Get the best health for your money! Only Dr Wallach’s supplemental packages contain all 90 essential nutrients your body needs to heal and maintain health. So, what are you waiting for? One bottle of our Plant Derived Minerals only costs $20 and can help prevent up too 600 diseases.

Our plant derived mineral products are liquid concentrates containing a natural assortment of up to77 minerals from prehistoric plants in their unaltered colloidal form. Minerals never occurred in a uniform blanket in the crust of the Earth. Therefore, unless you supplement with minerals, you can't guarantee that you'll get all you need through the four food groups. A mineral deficiency can lead to disease or even death. Plant Derived Minerals can help in your fight against deficiencies. Each quart of Majestic Earth Plant Derived Colloidal Minerals contains 19,000 mg of dissolved solids. Highly absorb-able liquid with the highest quality available.

FDA AMENDS OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS/CORONARY HEART DISEASE QUALIFIED HEALTH CLAIM AND EXTENDS CLAIM FOR USE ON CONVENTIONAL FOODS

Dated: September 8, 2004

Washington, D.C. - Today the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized a qualified health claim linking consumption of omega-3 fatty acids with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD):

“Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of [name of food] provides [x] grams of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids." [See nutrition information for total fat, saturated far and cholesterol content.]

The announcement follows FDA consideration of a health claim petition filed by American Longevity and Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club seeking to amend the agency’s previously authorized health claim for omega-3 fatty acids and CHD.

Today’s decision dramatically widens FDA’s former position regarding the relationship between dietary supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids and the resulting reduced risk of CHD. The former qualified health claim contained a substantively limiting disclaimer that failed to adequately assess the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing the risk of CHD. FDA’s current qualified health claim more accurately describes the current state of the scientific evidence on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and extends use of the health claim to both dietary supplements and conventional foods.

A copy of the FDA letter allowing use of the claim may be obtained from Cynthia Lewis at Emord & Associates (202-466-6937).

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 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.

 

 Why?

Well the question to us is, why don’t other companies do this? There are several answers I have been given,
from it’s too expensive or “they don’t want to rock the boat”. But is this information important? You BET it is!
Remember all those kids and families that are better off because of simply getting Folic Acid information?
Dr. Wallach and Youngevity spent a ton of money to get the Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid Claims
authorized. Kraft Foods, a 30 Billion Dollar a year global company, submitted a letter to the FDA stating that
an EFA claim would be a good thing. I don’t know how much that letter cost, but I’m sure Dr. Wallach and
Youngevity spent much more even though Kraft Foods is a MUCH larger company. Even the OMB
(Office of Management and Budget) from the White House was urging the FDA to amend the Dietary Guidelines
and to get the information out about the importance of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, yet it took the
Youngevity Petition to get the claim approved!

Well there are 100s of beneficial nutrients and many of them have multiple beneficial effects for the human
body, that means there are many more of these claims that must be filed.

The Claims we have gotten authorized so far have to do with reducing the risk of certain Cancers by
consuming the Trace Mineral Selenium and reducing the risks of CHD or Cardiovascular Heart Disease by
consuming EPA and DHA which are Essential Fatty Acids primarily found in Fish Oils. CHD is this country’s
leading cause of Death! More than 500,000 Americans Die each year from it. Just think if we could reduce
the occurrence of these deaths by 50-70% simply by educating the public! Durk Pearson, an MIT, PHD. Says
that we may be able to reduce the risk of CHD by as much as 80% just with the proper Fish Oils and getting
this information out to the Public. Now that we have achieved this Health Claim Petition for Omega-3
Essential Fatty acids and reducing the risks of CHD, Europe may adopt this claim as well. What if we only
saved a small percentage of these Lives each year? Would it be worth it? OF COURSE! We now have more
Claims under consideration as well and there will be more!

Dr. Wallach and Youngevity have not only Sued the FDA, they have defended the FDA and the Health
Claim Petition Process as well. The FDA was sued by a group, the CSPI which was claiming that the
Health Claim Petition Process violated the FDA guidelines. Youngevity and Dr. Wallach wanted to help
ensure this information continued to be available to the public, so they asked the court to be codefendants
with the FDA. By doing this, they could help to protect the Health Claim Petition Process.
Ultimately The FDA, Youngevity, Dr. Wallach and others were successful in defending The Health
Claim Petition Process, but we all know that we will have to be diligent in always defending this process. We
know there will always be groups that want to limit your access to these nutrients and this information.

When people think Dr. Wallach or Youngevity are in the Nutrition Business to only make money, I
have to disagree! It is to get this information to the public so they may use it to make a better-informed
decision regarding their own health. As long as there are those that would want to limit your access to these
nutrients and this information, we will be there to defend your rights to have access to them!

By the way, that 1200 page book, “Diseases of Exotic Animals”, is now recommended by the Smithsonian
Institute for all Zoological Gardens and Aquariums! In 2003, the FDA authorized a First Ever Health Claim
for Selenium, submitted by Dr. Wallach and Youngevity for the Trace Minerals anti-carcinogenic effects
in the body!
