What Health Professionals Are Saying About USANA

"In my more than 20 years in nutrition research I’ve not seem a wellness program as impressive as that developed by Myron Wentz." "Medical science is still stuck in the past; examining the effects of one or two simple antioxidants such as beta carotene and vitamin C. However, over the last decade hundred of antioxidants have been found. All of them have specific functions… You can’t just give someone vitamin C for a cold because antioxidants only work properly when they’re in synergy with each other. Vitamin C needs all of the other antioxidants to work to its potential." Dr. Michael Colgan, world renowned Sports Nutritionist, and author of the best-selling book, "Optimum Sports Nutrition."

"The first rule of medicine is to do no harm. I feel that the USANA products and its organization are the embodiment of free enterprise and scientific integrity. The antioxidant nutritional research and products being brought forth by this company, along with a strict observance of quality control, I believe has the potential to open up new horizons to the neurologically impaired patient, who otherwise had little or no hope." Jeffrey Greenberg, M.D. Neurological Surgeon

"There’s no way to acquire optimal health today without nutritional supplementation. One of the things I have noticed from my own medical practice is that many patients are getting well by using nothing but nutrition." "Usana’s cellular technology is 15 years ahead of it’s time. I have personally lost more that 50 pounds with USANA products and I have seen significant improvement in many of my patients." David Warden, M.D. Former State Surgeon for the State of Utah

"I’ve seen hundreds of nutritional lines come across my desk in the last 20 years. Yet, none have so impressed me as Usana. The results I have seen are amazing. When the results are prove to be this good, the decision to use Usana is a given. Usana is firmly grounded in the most current scientific research and is producing extraordinarily positive results on the cellular level" Gary Young, D.C.

"In 17 years of practice, I have never seen or experienced anything like USANA! I am a board-certified family practitioner…I treat so many people during the cold and flu season who are sick and cough in my face that I end up being on antibiotics every three weeks or so. In February 1994, I began taking the USANA Nutritionals. I am happy to say that I made it through the cold season with not one major respiratory illness which required antibiotics." Machiel Kennedy, M.D.

"The results that I have observed in my practice since recommending the USANA Nutritionals have been nothing short of amazing. I have been a family practice physician for over 23 years. I have been a family practice physician for over 23 years. I have always been involved with preventative medicine, but never too excited about nutrition. When asked about nutritional supplements, my standard reply would be that if you choose and eat the proper food, supplements are not necessary. However, this is no longer the case." "Medical studies show that nutrient deficiencies are related to numerous disease processes. With all the evidence, my question became: ‘What nutritional supplements could I recommend - with confidence - to my patients.’ I now view the USANA Nutritionals as an insurance policy for my patients." "Nutritional supplements have gone from an era of testimonials to an era of medical documentation. USANA has taken the sophisticated science of cellular nutrition and produced products that I believe will change the health of this nation." Ray Strand, M.D.

"I was initially skeptical of vitamins and minerals being able to provide any real improvements from various diseases…That skepticism slowly changed, as I witnessed case after case of people improving from things I never thought possible. These people were initially skeptical themselves, and it has been fun watching them passionately trying to convince other that they really have improved their health. Many have termed their improvement "a miracle." I guess it’s all in how you view it. I used to get discourage about my medical colleagues not seeming to believe, or care about, the life-changing improvements that many patients were reporting with USANA Nutritionals…However, as a medical professional, I believe I can easily judge the difference between consistent and reproducible health improvements and the placebo effect…Anyone with common sense can figure-out that thousands of people are not experiencing significant health improvements because it’s all in their minds. People with multiple sclerosis, arthritis, migraines, or fibromyalgia can rarely be fooled into improving. Documented cholesterol and glucose profile improvements are occurring; lab tests rarely lie." "I practice very traditional solid medicine. I believe in the scientific method, and don't fall for 'miraculous' claims. I'm writing this unsolicited endorsement for USANA because I truly have never seen anything work as well for people with chronic health problems as I have seen happen among my patients with USANA. I now encourage everyone to be on these for life!" Ladd McNamara, M.D. Medical Resource Manual, 1997;4

Case Studies & Testimonials

 "I would like to share my story about the improvement in my husband, Mark’s MS with his use of the USANA products. Mark was diagnosed with MS about six years ago. His MS manifested itself with weakness in his legs, aching in his knees and numbness in his hands and feet. He also had some challenges with equilibrium and numbness in his face... About four months ago we were introduced to the USANA product line and switched from the nutritional supplements we had been using from multiple companies to the USANA products that were formulated and designed to be balanced and work together. Mark began with the Essentials in early April and in mid-April decided to add the Proflavanol… " "One day in early May Mark was working in our vegetable garden with our children and they challenged him to race up the hill. Now for five years, Mark had not been able to sprint very far, for after a few steps his knees would lock and he would stumble over his own feet. He had been feeling pretty good on the USANA products, his knees no longer ached and his feet weren’t numb and his hand strength was returning. He decided, why not, and took off up the hill and sprinted around to the front of our house. He was shocked and knew that it must be the USANA products which had brought him to his healthiest point yet. Thank you Dr. Wentz and USANA. He is now normal and it’s nearly impossible for people to observe or comprehend that MS is a part of our lives." Kathy Yarrison - West Chester, PA

Migraine Headaches "I would like to share some testimonials with all USANA Distributors. Case number one is a woman in her late 30's who has suffered from daily constant debilitating headaches for 22 years of her life. Throughout the years she's been to many doctors, taken over-the-counter and prescription medication, and dozens of vitamin supplements; all to no avail. The symptoms worsened throughout the years. They were splitting headaches, nausea, and vomiting. After proper clinical work advised her to start taking the USANA Essentials, Proflavanol, Cal Mag, and the Cranberry drink. It is now eight weeks later and I am very pleased to report that the constant, and often debilitating, headaches which often incapacitated her for up to three weeks at a time are now 90% relieved, and the entire quality of her life has improved dramatically. She has only experienced two minor headaches, for two to three hours each, after which they were completely gone. To see such a dramatic result in only eight weeks‹for a condition that has lasted 22 years was very gratifying to her, and starts to illustrate the quality and benefits of the USANA nutritionals." "Case number two is a gentleman in his late 40's who came to me complaining about chronically high cholesterol that has been in the 260­270 range for 20 years. He took medication and was only able to reduce his cholesterol 10%. I recommended the USANA Essentials, Proflavanol, Poly C, Nutrimeal, and Fibergy. Within a 12 week period his cholesterol lowered from a level of 269 to 162, and the triglyceride level, which previously was 301, is now 151. This level has been maintained. To see such a chronically high risk factor reduced to normal levels in only 12 weeks is wonderful. He is very pleased." "Case number three is a young boy who is four and one-half years old. He was diagnosed as having a mental age was only nine to ten months. He has been seen by many doctors in the northeast, and has had extensive testing at Yale for genetics. I put him on the USANA Kids Choo-ables and Proflavanol. Within six to twelve months he has made remarkable progress. His motor skills have improved tremendously. He is now talking and interchanging with people, which he did not do much before. He is moving around, climbing on tables and chairs, and has become a wonderful bundle of energy instead of someone who sluggishly goes through life. He should be, according to all the doctors and from what I've seen as well, able to match his proper developmental age within a year. His mother, father, and brother are extremely pleased. This is what all good nutrition is about, and why we should be in USANA. We should be sharing USANA's excellent health benefits, and if we do that, everything will fall into place." Gary Young, D.C.

"About five years ago, I seriously injured my back and neck in an automobile accident. My pelvis and lower back were crushed. Years later, despite physical therapy, the back pain had never gone away. Until recently, I needed pain medication just to do ordinary things around the house. When you (Dr. Ladd McNamara) told me about USANA, I found it very hard to believe that people were getting better just by taking "vitamins." However, after taking the products for just ten days, I could believe the difference!" "After years of suffering, my back pain is finally gone!…" David B., Alpharetta, Georgia
