A Champion for Truth
in Health
A veterinary surgeon, soil scientist, & pioneer in trace element research having **conducted/participated in 45,000 autopsies including 5,000 human, Dr Joel Wallach discovered that all vertebrates require 90 Essential Nutrients to maintain health including 60 essential minerals that must first be in the soil on which our food is grown, before our bodies can assimilate.
Because Earth has only sparse concentrated ripples of mineral veins 'like chocolate ripple icecream' , anyone who doesn't live downstream from a glacier where mineral rich milk water occurs ie most of the world's population, must supplement with the 60 essential minerals and their indispensable co-factors to resist physical degeneration, because it is impossible for food to provide these essential minerals naturally except for food grown within these rare regions.
Through autopsies, comparing tissue samples, Joel discovered
1. the link between 900 'modern' diseases & specific nutritional deficiencies. To each missing nutrient of the 90 essentials, can be attributed ten diseases/conditions! (Wallach)
2. In 1979 whilst working with Nasa space monkeys at Yerkes Primate Centre in Atlanta Georgia, Dr Joel Wallach discovered the first non-human cases of cystic fibrosis & the dietary cause of the disease. This scientific fact is still denied by mainstream medicine today.
3. Dr Joel Wallach authored the seminal work, "The Diseases of Exotic Animals" which is considered a national treasure by The Smithsonian Institute. His work saved the white rhinoceros from extinction in the 1970s.
4. He has litigated FDA over 12 times, and won every time: One such outcome is the reason SIDS Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has been mitigated almost into non-existence in many U.S. states that once suffered rampant gut wrenching tragedies. His research uncovered that a particular trace element was missing in the tiny victims that caused cardiac arrhythmia, the irregular rhythm killing the infant.
Wallach's team fought FDA to compel baby formula manufacturers to include this element & its co-factors in their commercial baby formulae. NB The same mineral deficiency is the cause of athletes dropping dead from failing to supplement intelligently. NO, they don't drop dead at the age of 22 or 32 because of some obscure 'genetic anomaly' ! Wallach: 'EXERCISE WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTATION IS SUICIDE'
5. He has written many best selling books, the most famous being: DEAD DOCTORS DON'T LIE. He says that the terms 'genetic disorder' or 'auto-immune disease' are cop-out standard responses when the medical fraternity don't have a clue as to the true science that veterinary science has known of for decades.
6. To name two more of many, Wallach's team prosecuted FDA to be compelled to add to the recommended dietary nutrients for healthy Americans, the Essential Fatty Acids. The Wellness Team fought FDA & won their case, to recommend Selenium as a major deterrent against prostate cancer & other cancers.
** Wallach: Ask your doctor how many autopsies has she conducted !
This is what a.i. says: "
Through a series of lawsuits against the FDA—often in collaboration with attorney Jonathan Emord—Dr. Joel Wallach and his team (including American Longevity/Youngevity) aimed to challenge FDA restrictions on health claims for dietary supplements. While they did not win all cases, these legal actions resulted in significant rulings that forced the FDA to allow qualified health claims for nutrients and protected the dissemination of scientific literature. [1, 2]
Key achievements from these legal battles included:
Establishment of Qualified Health Claims (QHCs): Dr. Wallach’s legal efforts helped establish that the FDA cannot entirely block health claims on products if there is credible evidence supporting them, even if that evidence does not meet the highest level of "Significant Scientific Agreement" (SSA). This led to the approval of qualified health claims, such as those for selenium, which allow supplements to state they may reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Protection of First Amendment Rights (Third-Party Literature):
The litigation successfully challenged the FDA's ability to prohibit the distribution of scientific literature (such as the Physicians' Desk Reference or medical journals) by supplement companies to consumers. Courts ruled that restricting this information violates First Amendment freedom of speech rights, provided the literature is not inherently misleading.
Limiting FDA "Intended Use" Policy: In a 2005 decision (Wallach v. Crawford), the court found that the FDA could not use its "intended use" policy to block scientific literature containing health claims, which was described as a "Pyrrhic victory" for the agency, limiting their authority to restrict information.
Forcing Re-evaluation of Claims: The lawsuits forced the FDA to re-evaluate its stance on several mineral health claims, resulting in the eventual settlement or approval of several qualified claims. [1, 2, 3, 4]Context on the Legal Battles:
These lawsuits were aimed at the FDA's enforcement of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which Dr. Wallach argued was being used to prevent consumers from learning about the health benefits of nutrients.
