Chandler, Ariz. - Aug. 28, 2006 - In the Technical Advisory Board session of Isagenix Celebration 2006, members of the board and guest doctors discussed the quality of the Isagenix products and how the products drew each to the company.
"We don't go out on a limb and put our reputations on the line for nothing," said Technical Advisory Board Director Dennis Harper, D.O. He explained that after spending a quarter of a million dollars to get an education in the medical field, each doctor's decision to join Isagenix was a major resolution backed by careful research and results the products created for their clients. "Isagenix has done more for my patients than any other thing I have ever seen in the last 20 years of my practice; when you see a product like that, you're obligated to get behind it."
Dr. Harper said the new IsaCal product is superior to other calcium supplements because of the rate of absorption. He explained that most calcium products have less than 10 percent absorption rates-specifically calcium carbonate, which must undergo 12 steps to be beneficial for the body. "IsaCal only takes one step," said Dr. Harper. He added that IsaCal is extremely beneficial for women who are pregnant or nursing to replace calcium depleted from the mother's bones by the fetus.
Cynthia M. Watson, M.D., who specializes on women's health, focused on Isagenix's Cleansing and Fat Burning System as an important way to obtain nutrition and lose weight, explaining that obesity was a common risk factor for disease. "Isagenix is a concept of overall health and well-being," she said. "It's important for women to maintain their weight, especially after menopause. Why not start cleansing now?"
Thomas McNeilis, D.O., OBGYN, spoke on the epidemic of childhood obesity and how Isagenix could help fight against it. "It's a very frightening problem. Statistics show that more than 18 million children are now obese. That's not counting those that are simply overweight." He explained that soon obesity will be the No. 1 killer in the U.S., far surpassing those that die from smoking. "With Isagenix we can make a difference," he said.
Andrew Keech, Ph.D., who developed Isagenix's Isamune colostrum, highlighted its particular benefits. "It's very important for adults as well as babies to receive colostrum," he said. "Colostrum is the first food we get when we are born. It's the most perfect food designed by nature."
Vitamin C researchers Michael J. Gonzalez, Ph.D., and Jorge R. Miranda-Massari, Pharm. D., stressed the importance of supplementing with Isagenix's C-Lyte. "I can summarize C-Lyte in one sentence," said Dr. Gonzalez. "It's the most complete formulation of vitamin C on the market." Dr. Miranda-Massari added that health depends more on nutrients and lifestyles than on synthetic drugs, and that C-Lyte should be taken daily to aid nutritional supplementation.
