“The GCA holds seminars to connect over seas business to those in Isreal and charges for attendance. People pay $18,500 to attend this seminar and while there’s suppossed to be 50 spots open, only 17 people attended this year (Excluding the 4 Chairs from the GCA). Of those 17 who attended 9 got awards. Looks to me like this is the sort of recognition you can buy. Previous years have had as many as 23 winners, so I sincerely question the worth of the GCA’s awards. Looks more like a (or should I say $18,500) publicity stunt. If this is such a big deal, why such low attendance?”

Of those who didn’t win award this year several are winners from previous years (maybe all, I didn’t check through everything). Also, out of the 17 who attended 6 of them were Special Guests leaving with you a remainder of only 11 regular Attendees. At best they had 21 spots full out of a possible 50, at worst only 11 spots (Depending if they count Chairs/Special Guests in their 50 openings). If anyone has a different account, post the link and exact number. Your opinion could be that they didn’t list all attendees, but why would they want their attendence to appear smaller? Or, why would people not want their name associated with this event? I’d say USANA/Wentz opened their wallets for some quick good press.

I know that USANA will have its redemption from all this “crap” and innuendo once Minkow is finished in court and USANA lets it’s investors know that it will bounce back from all this “crap”. Then USANA and it’s investigators will find out who paid Minkow to start all this “crap”, because he could have gone after any other nutritional supplement MLM/NWM company and it would of been the same old “crap”. Minkow still hasn’t revealed who paid him to look into USANA. Maybe a pharmaceutical company, a competitor, or maybe a previous lazy associate who thought that the pennies would start falling from heaven…. who knows!

Christiane Northrup, MD is also a USANA Associate and may I say very respected in the Medical Community and in general. She appears regularly on public TV and talk shows. She knows how good USANA and their products are.

Ms. Bernice King, daughter of the late Martin Luther King, says this about Dr. Wentz, founder and CEO of USANA; “I have finally met someone whom I think has the key to true health and wellness,” said King. “A phenomenal man, Dr. Myron Wentz of USANA Health Sciences brings us a holistic approach to provide the most comprehensive nutritional products available.”

Tracy, if you went to the USANA head offices and sat down with Dr. Wentz and Dave Wentz, you might just get a different picture of these men and the company, instead of listening to third party innuendo. Dr. Northrup and Ms. King did.

By the way, Dr. Wentz just received the Albert Einstein Award for his contribution to world health. So much for the so-called demise of USANA.
