Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz suing over 'false' açaí berry endorsement claims

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:53:00 +0000

Chicago Sun-Times

Oprah Winfrey and America's favorite physician -- Dr. Memhet Oz -- want you to know they don't endorse dozens of açaí berry products that claim their seal of approval -- and they're suing to prove it.

"Many Americans have seen images of me, and Oprah and others supporting, it would appear, products that actually don't work in the ways that are described," Oz said in an exclusive interview Thursday with ABC's "Good Morning America." "And more importantly, when consumers trusting us try to buy these products over the Web, what they end up getting are fake products, pills that don't really have what's promised in them. They're often duped into paying more than they should. If my picture is next to a product, endorsing it and supporting your purchase of it, I did not give them permission."

Global Health Trax, Inc. Announces New Marketing Campaign for Oxygen Elements Max Product

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:38:00 +0000

PR Newswire

Nutritional supplement manufacturing and distribution company Global Health Trax, Inc. today launched a new marketing campaign touting its flagship, patented nutritional supplement product Oxygen Elements(R) Max as an ideal booster for popular energy drinks.

The new marketing campaign takes a whimsical approach to communicating Oxygen Elements Max's use as an energy drink enhancer by using a caricature of Albert Einstein at a chalkboard with his famous theory of relativity equation (E=mc2) crossed out and in its place a new equation (visithttp://www.OxygenElements.com to see it). "It's a great, fun way to show another way to use our flagship product," stated Tom Dixson, Global Health Trax President and CEO. "Since the founding of the company this product has helped tens of thousands of people feel more energized by providing their bodies with more oxygen at a cellular level." Additionally, the company is offering free trial-size bottles of the Oxygen Elements Max product along with $10.00-off coupons for anyone adding a campaign banner ad on their website, blog, MySpace page, Facebook page, etc.

Oxygen Elements Max helps an individual assimilate other nutrients in the body more effectively by maximizing their usage and absorption. Although most of the popular energy drinks on the market today contain caffeine to give the initial energy "boost" they also typically contain other ingredients such as certain B vitamins that also help the body produce more energy.

Utah Pulse.com

Inc. magazine today announced its 28th annual Inc. 500/5000 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. With over 27 million businesses registered in the United States, the Inc. 500 list represents the top-tier businesses in America today. MonaVie, maker of premier acai-based nutritional and energy drink products, ranks No. 1 in the Inc. 500 Food & Beverage category, No. 3 in Revenue and No. 18 on the overall Inc. 500 list. “This achievement puts MonaVie in rarified company,” says Jane Berentson, Editor of Inc. magazine. “The elite group MonaVie recently joined has, over the years, included companies such as Microsoft, Timberland, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle and Under Armour.” MonaVie will be featured on the Inc. 500 list in the September edition of the magazine.

MonaVie is a direct seller of nutritional beverages made from unique blends of nature’s superfruits. Launched in 2005, MonaVie was created by a team of partners with extensive backgrounds in the direct selling industry and with health products. Cumulative sales topped $1 billion in 2008, and MonaVie now operates in 10 countries, with international expansion continuing.

“When Henry Marsh, Randy Larsen and I sat down at a kitchen table back in 2004 and literally dreamed up MonaVie from our hearts and minds, we knew we wanted to create a global business with a spirit of abundance and giving back,” says MonaVie Founder, Chairman and CEO Dallin A. Larsen. “Being named to this list — and ranking No. 1 in our Food and Beverage Category — is a testament to dreaming big and working hard. In a short four and a half years, we have built a company that has generated what is quickly approaching $2 billion in cumulative sales. We are now perfectly positioned to expand around the world as well as throughout the United States. Considering that many other successful direct selling companies are thirty and forty years old and older, reminds me that at MonaVie, we are still in the infancy stage of our business. I believe our momentum will continue for the next several decades.”

State senator linked to firm sued by FTC

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:12:00 +0000

Houston Chronicle

As many as 300 people became participants in a pyramid scheme in 2006 and 2007 at the behest of San Antonio state Sen. Jeff Wentworth, who said he believed the company involved was a legal marketing firm.

Wentworth, R-San Antonio, on Thursday said his income tax returns for 2006 show he made less than $1,000 while working as an “independent contractor” for an Internet digital music sales company called BurnLounge.

The Federal Trade Commission shut BurnLounge down in 2007 with a federal lawsuit accusing the company, its chief executive and its top three money-producing promoters of running a pyramid scheme. No criminal charges were brought in the case.

“BurnLounge is operating a pyramid scheme. Such schemes have an intolerable capacity to mislead,” the FTC said in its lawsuit.

“That's news to me,” Wentworth said Thursday.

BurnLounge began in 2005 as a digital music store that allowed people to buy in as retailers for as little as $29.95. The company claimed as many as 50,000 retailers and included associations with celebrities such as singer Justin Timberlake.

Max International to Open Operations in the Philippines

noreply@blogger.com (David Stone) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:13:00 +0000

Max International, the direct-sales company that introduced MaxGXL® two years ago, is soon to open operations in the Philippines and welcomes its independent distributors and guests to a special Grand Launch on Saturday, August 1, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

This expansion represents Max's third market, after the United States and Canada.

"The Philippines is an important expansion for us for a number of reasons," said Peter Nordberg, chief executive officer. "First, more Google searches for glutathione are done in the Philippines than anywhere else in the world. Second, it helps us establish a base of operations for future expansion in Asia. Third, Filipinos are widely dispersed throughout the world, so getting started in the home country will really spread word of our company."

Mannatech to pay millions to settle diet-supplement lawsuit

noreply@blogger.com (David Stone) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:52:00 +0000

Star-Telegram.com

Dietary supplements seller Mannatech Inc. will return $4 million to customers and its founder will pay a $1 million fine for lying about the health benefits of its products, the Texas attorney general’s office announced Thursday.

At a news conference in Dallas, Attorney General Greg Abbott said the Coppell-based company tricked people into thinking its products would prevent, treat or even cure diseases.

"Bottom line, this is a warning to the general public: Be wary of phony claims of magic cure-all pills or false hope in a bottle," Abbott said. "You could be duped into purchasing something that has no real effect and no real value."

Under the agreement, Mannatech will also have to pay $2 million to cover the state’s costs in the case.

American Idol's Megan Joy Creates Program So Fan-Mail Can Fund Single Parents

PR Newswire

Megan Joy, the 23 year-old Utah native turned American Idol sensation, is already proving herself to be an on-stage favorite this season. But for many, it's her recent off-stage performance that is truly winning over America's heart. Known initially for her powerful, Amy Winehouse-like jazzy vocals, it was when Megan's strong single-mother status began to gain media attention that she found a creative way to help others in her situation - she turned her incoming fan-mail into non-profit, cash donations for struggling single-parents like herself.

Megan recently began receiving hundreds of support cards from members of Utah based SendOutCards.com, a company she and her family have been closely involved with for years. Touched by such an overwhelming response, Megan shortly found herself on the phone with the group helping to spearhead a fundraising effort for single parent programs like the national non-profit, Parents Without Partners Inc.

Taking the company mantra literally, "Changing Lives One Card at a Time," SendOutCards has rallied their network of more than 60,000 card senders to participate in the fundraising activity. Set up under the non-profit 'SOC Gives' division of the company, senders are now able to donate on a one-time or weekly basis for as long as they choose.

Utah Supreme Court considering XanGo case

noreply@blogger.com (David Stone) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:56:00 +0000

Deseret News

The Utah Supreme Court heard arguments Monday from a group of investors who are challenging the dismissal of a case they filed against six founding members of Lehi multilevel-marketing company XanGo LLC.

The legal issue that the justices will consider is whether 4th District Judge Fred Howard rightfully dismissed the case and correctly applied Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.

The investors, who identified themselves as Angel Investors LLC and as a "few neighbors and friends" who "pooled their savings and invested it in an unknown startup company called XanGo," filed lawsuits in 2006 and 2007 against the company, which sells juices and personal-care products.

The original court complaints are sealed, but at the court proceeding Monday, the Angel Investors' attorney, Mary Anne Wood, said the investors "became concerned by evidence of extravagant lifestyle and compensation" of the six founders — Aaron Garrity, Bryan Davis, Gary Hollister, Gordon Morton, Joseph Morton and Kent Wood.

Finally a Chocolate That’s Great on the Lips, the Hips and the Heart!

noreply@blogger.com (David Stone) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:53:00 +0000

Web Wire

Of all of the rich and decadent foods consumers have to choose from, chocolate is by far one of the most popular. The sweet and creamy treat has been eaten by billions of people all over the world for centuries. And while it’s often perceived as indulgent and fattening, chocolate actually has a number of health benefits. Xocai, one of the health food industry’s fastest growing brands is now helping consumers enjoy the amazing taste of chocolate, without the guilt and negative impacts. By combining all natural unprocessed chocolate with the acai berry and other fruits, the Xocai line of products is changing the way consumers perceive chocolate, and making it possible for health-conscious individuals to indulge while still watching maintaining good health.

Chocolate is made from seeds from the cacao tree, which is native to South America. Throughout much of the world’s history, it has been treasured as a luxury good, and was previously used in a resistance building, fatigue fighting drink called Xocolatl by the Mayans and the Aztecs, and later by the European elite. Chocolate is still noted for its health boosting benefits today, and many modern scientists will attest to that fact. According to a research presented at a conference held by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, chocolate can help to prevent or remedy a number of common ailments, including high blood pressure. Chocolate is also rich in antioxidants, which help to prevent or slow the oxidative damage to the body, and prevent related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and macular degeneration.
