Based in Nature -- Backed by Science 

NeoLife (GNLD)

Today, NeoLife (or GNLD) SAB (Scientific Advisory Board) sits at the core of a worldwide network of leading scientists and research facilities, all dedicated to delivering the finest, safest, most effective products the world has to offer.

The NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board is:

Active: SAB members conduct leading research 

SAB members frequently present NeoLife research at important scientific meetings and seminars 

Published: SAB members and research on our products are regularly published in leading scientific journals.  

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, the International Journal of Toxicology, the FASEB Journal, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Respected: NeoLife's reputation for scientific excellence is so well established that our products have been used by researchers from the United States Department of Agriculture, UNESCO, and leading Universities.

NeoLife partners with Standford University of Health Library to produce the annual NeoLife Arthur Furst Lecture Series on Nutrition & Disease Prevention.

Founding Member Emeritus, Arthur Furst, PhD, ScD, DATS

Three decades ago, NeoLife's industry-leading Scientific Advisory Board was founded by world-renowned toxicologist and cancer researcher Dr Arthur Furst.

Dr  Furst received his A.B and M.A, in Chemistry and Math from the University of California, Los Angeles, his PhD in Chemistry from Stanford University and his Doctor of Science ScD from University of SanFransisco, a degree awarded for his pioneering work in toxicology.  Having  served in several different professional capacities at Standford, the University of San Fransisco, and the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr Furst retired from academia in 1980.  Dr Furst was recently reconfirmed as a Diplomate of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences DATS, a distinction held by fewer than 100 scientists worldwide!

Dr Furst is Internationally recognized in Academic circles for his scientific achievements in toxicology and cancer research.  He pioneered research of chemotherapy even before the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute were established.  He was a founder of the Stanford Cancer Chemotherapy Laboratory.  (I know we don't favor chemotherapy, however, for some cancers unfortunately, it's still the best treatment available.  The main point here, is his credentials and expertise in the field, as well as toxicology.  He worked with NeoLife to develop the purest, most effective, safest forms of nutritional supplements for his cancer patients and the general public.)

The SAB (Scientific Advisory Board) on NeoLife products:

• Qualified scientists, researchers and nutrition professionals search for effective solutions to promote and protect your long-term health.
• NeoLife products are developed with the latest scientific expertise and state-of-the-art technology
• NeoLife products are tested by the very latest scientific methods to ensure safety, quality, and effectiveness.
• NeoLife (original name) became GNLD (Golden NeoLife Diamite), and returned to their original name of NeoLife.  So information for both NeoLife and GNLD are the same.

With Credentials as these, along with the Science educating support behind their product line, is why I have chosen NeoLife (GNLD).  When our son was hospitalized 9 months with Anthrax Vaccine Leukemia (we lost him age 23), his Oncology team told us that NeoLife was the only supplement company or program they would ever suggest to a patient or families.   They knew of the credentials, the quality and purity of the product, and the science support.  They rejected over a dozen other product lines we submitted to them, saying they were worthless, placebo, or even dangerous to a healthy person's health.  http://neolife.com/en-us/home/  Sponsor #32-260985

NeoLife (GNLD) also has a wonderful toxic free Powerful, Economical, Eco Friendly cleaning line GREEN.  Green has been around since 1960s -- long before it became the fashion.  Our 100% biodegradable formulas are 100% earth friendly.  Low-dose, low-burden cleaning technology maximizes performance with a minimum amount of product.  No toxic fumes, no harsh chemicals.  25,000 penguins saved by LDC, the largest wildlife rescue operation in history relied on LDC (Light Duty Cleaner by NeoLife) to clean 25,000 oil-soaked penguins in Cape Town, South Africa. 
You'll find several Blogs about specific nutritional supplements and physical concerns addressed nutritionally among my earlier Blogs.

Skincare Products by TreSkinRX:

Ahmed Abdullah MD, FACS, FICS: 

Dr. Abdullah is a board-certified plastic and cosmetic surgeon and a recognized expert on the restorative and medicinal effects of aloe vera which he has used in his medical practice for over 25 years. He is a member of the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) based in Dallas, Texas, and has served on its board of directors.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon and noted aloe researcher, Dr. Abdullah is a pioneer of the practice of using pharmaceutical-grade aloe in plastic surgery for the treatment of skin damage. Given the amazing results in his practice from using aloe vera, Dr. Abdullah specifically searched for an aloe-based skincare line he could offer to his patients. In 1996, after his search came up fruitless, he applied his background in chemistry and biology to formulate the TreSkinRX pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera based products. He offered these products to his patients until 2009 when TreSkinRX was launched to introduce these products to the world!

"My objective was to develop skincare with integrity using ingredients that makes sense, are high-grade natural substances, and have rejuvenating effects on the skin."
