Results are In from the University of Manitoba

Youngevity International (YGYI) Announces Results of Youngevity® Research Studies Performed by the Richardson Center for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals - University of Manitoba

San Diego, CA - May 28, 2014 – Youngevity International, Inc. (OTCQX: YGYI) (www.YGYI.com), a global direct marketer of lifestyle and nutritional products and gourmet coffee, announced today the exciting results of research studies performed at the prestigious Richardson Center for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals (RCFFN) at the University of Manitoba (www.rcffn.ca).

The RCFFN is one of the most advanced bioprocessing and product development facilities in the world that focuses on the research, discovery, and development of innovative functional foods and nutraceuticals. The research team at the RCFFN evaluated the safety and health benefits of the following Youngevity® signature products; Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 and the Healthy Start Pak 2.0, which consists of the Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0, Beyond OsteoFx 2.0, and Ultimate Essential Fatty Acids.

The study was overseen by Dr. Peter Jones, Director of the RCFFN and one of the world’s foremost researchers in dietary and nutraceutical determinants in the control of fat, energy metabolism, and various other critical health issues. Additionally, the study was conducted by Dr. Ramprasath Vanu Ramkumar, Adjunct Professor and Research Associate for the Department of Human Nutritional Sciences at the University of Manitoba.

"When initially developing the study outline for Youngevity, it was critical to investigate the important areas where the products could be of benefit and demonstrate a high level of safety, I believe we have accomplished that, these were very well thought out studies," said Dr. Peter Jones, RCFFN Director.

Youngevity Research Study Results:
Safety: RCFFN tested various levels of organ functions and metabolism to demonstrate the safety of Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0, Beyond OsteoFx 2.0, and Ultimate Essential Fatty Acids. The biochemical indicators and measurement showed normal functioning and metabolism of the liver, kidneys, and heart after supplementation with Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 and the Healthy Start Pak 2.0 demonstrate no adverse reactions to these organs.

Weight Loss: Consumption of the Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 as well as the Healthy Start Pak 2.0 significantly reduced the absolute weights of White Adipose Tissue (WAT) as well as WAT weight percentage of whole body weight. The study showed a significant reduction in adipose tissue weight and body fat mass.

Bone Health: Significant reductions in plasma concentrations of Alkaline Phosphatase, ALKP, an enzyme that promotes breakdown of bone were observed along with increases in concentrations of the bone building minerals, calcium and phosphorus.

Support for Normal Inflammatory Response: Inflammation was induced in the animal models by feeding them a high fat and sugar diet that triggers the Interleukin-6 inflammatory marker. After supplementation with both the Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 and Healthy Start Pak 2.0 a significant reduction of the inflammatory marker was observed demonstrating support for normal inflammatory responses when placed under stressful conditions.
 
"It's very important that studies such as these are done in a unbiased, highly respected, academic setting. Consumers can feel confident in the results of these studies because of the "arms length" relationship that RCFFN had with Youngevity, we reported everything we found," said Dr. Ramprasath Vanu Ramkumar, University of Manitoba Associate Professor.
 
"Building on the previous research Youngevity performed with Clemson University, the RCFFN study results further substantiate the incredible potential value and benefit our consumers can receive with the Youngevity products. Youngevity is one of the few companies that provide such comprehensive research along with their products and we are proud to do so," said Sanjeev Javia, Youngevity Scientific Advisory Board Member.

“For over 15 years, Youngevity has been committed to science backed nutrition and providing the highest quality nutrients, dietary supplements, and wellness products to our distributors and customers,” said Steve Wallach, CEO and Chairman of Youngevity. “We are very excited and proud of the research results achieved on our signature products by the world-class researchers at the prestigious Richardson Center for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals. The research studies performed on our products at Clemson University in 2012 and the University of Manitoba provide further support for the value and health benefits that we believe can be obtained from our products and Youngevity’s dedication to research and innovation."

Birth Defects

by Dr Joel Wallach, DVM ND 

Let’s talk about birth defects which we eliminated in the animal industry. We eliminated every birth defect you can name and ten times that many that you can't name in the animal industry simply with what we call preconception nutrition. I'm not talking about prenatal vitamins with 12 vitamins and minerals in them. I'm talking about a complete program with over 255 nutrients including the 90 essential nutrients.

I actually sued the FDA in federal court to be able to say we can prevent neural tube defects by supplementation with folic acid. Before I sued them in federal court you could say "eating foods rich in folic acid could reduce the risk of neural tube defects” but you couldn't say “supplementation with folic acid.” So I had to sue them in Federal Court and prevailed over the FDA on that subject. There were 7 other lawsuits as well in which I prevailed.
 
Here are some of the main birth defects.
 
How about Down syndrome? 

Regardless of what political party you belong to, Sara Palin, ex-governor of Alaska, a vice-presidential candidate of the United States of America gives birth to a baby with Down syndrome. Her OB-GYN should be put in jail for reckless endangerment because we have known the cause and prevention of Down syndrome for at least 50 to 60 years. It is very simply prevented with preconception, complete nutrition. I'm talking about not proteins and fats but all the known essential nutrients. You can look it up in the book Rare Earths Forbidden Cures written by me and my wife, Dr Ma Lan.

Rare Earths Forbidden Cures tells you how to prevent Down syndrome.

I even had one case with Evel Knievel’s niece in law. She was diagnosed with having an embryo at 2 1/2 months with Downs Syndrome. I gave her my protocol and the baby was born normal. That was only one case. It was interesting to contemplate what might have happened if we had treated all early stage of Down syndrome pregnancies with this protocol.

What about congenital deafness? 

We know that it is caused by a simple deficiency of manganese. If we give every woman manganese prior to conception there will never be another baby born deaf. It's just that simple.

What about cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy?

Well cystic fibrosis, I was actually awarded in 2011 the Klaus Schwarz Commemorative Medal for research with trace minerals that benefit humanity. Actually the discovery was made and published in 1977. When I came out with it I showed that cystic fibrosis was not genetic as was though but it is a simple deficiency of the trace minerals early in pregnancy or right after pregnancy when the baby continues to nurse from the mother who is deficient in these trace minerals.

It is a very reversible thing, you can supplement with these trace minerals and the disease will reverse and it certainly is preventable 100%. And they fired me because everybody back then just knew it was genetic.
 
Well guess what? Who prevailed? 

They are all dead and I prevailed and got the award.

The main thing is the kids will benefit now because I am able to talk about this because of the weight of this award. This gives credibility to what I've been saying for 35 years.

As a result my wife and I went to China in 1990. In Keshan Province China we did 1,200 autopsies on kids under the age of 10 that died of cardio myopathy heart disease. Every scientist who studies trace minerals knows that Keshan disaese is caused by a selenium deficiency. There is little to no selenium in the soil in Keshan Province of China and a very high percentage of kids who are in subsistence farm families, families that grow their food, eat only the food grown on their land with no selenium in the soil have a very high rate of cardio myopathy heart disease .

If cardio myopathy heart disease is a known selenium deficiency disease and If I was correct that cystic fibrosis was being cause by a deficiency of selenium, then a lot of these kids that died of cardio myopathy heart disease would also have cystic fibrosis.
 
Guess what?
 
32% had cystic fibrosis. And by the way, 100% of these kids had Muscular Dystrophy.

We have been working with the Amish communities in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. For about 4 years in a very organized fashion. The first Muscular Dystrophy kid I cured was 22 years ago in Lancaster County Pa. Of course one case like that is interesting. If I was at Harvard Medical School it would be published all over the place, but not being from Harvard medical school they say well who knows about the diagnosis.

But now that we have hundreds, we are getting close to publishing and releasing this to the public. So don't tell anyone you heard about this yet. So don't tell anyone yet that we now understand the natural history; what leads up to the cause of muscular dystrophy. We know how to prevent it. And we know how to reverse it. And we have been doing this now for the last few years in communities all across the US but particularly across the Midwest where the local universities, the state universities that have agricultural departments did analysis of the soil. There is little to know selenium in the soil. These people are indigenous farmers. They live exactly on their place. They do not go to town to eat. They do not get groceries in town. They live off their gardens. And this is why they have such a high percentage of Muscular Dystrophy, Cardio myopathy heart disease and Cystic Fibrosis.

Watch for the story, don't tell anybody. Just think about it. We now know how to prevent and cure Muscular dystrophy.
