Body Wise International
Body Wise International has been operating since 1989 in Tustin, California. The company's chairman is Tom Tierney. Tom Tierney is also the president of another company called VitaTech.
One of Body Wise main products is a nutritional supplement called Super G. They also have some plans like the one called the Body Wise(R) Reshape plan.
The guys at Body Wise mostly sell supplements, health drinks, etc. I also see several of their distributors pushing Body Wise products as a means of weight loss.
I did a search on google for Body Wise and I found out that apparently when BodyWise was asked about why they don't do double blind trials, they were a bit evasive. According to my sources the folks at Body Wise said that their product is not a drug so that double blind trials were not appropriate and much too expensive. This seems like a cop-out and makes me a little skeptical.
In my opinion, if Body Wise is safe enough to consume, there should be no problem with a double blind trial. Certainly the cost of animal experiments to prove safety is not required. Run a hundred subjects for a month and ask them to grade themselves on how their health has improved. Body Wise now seems to be focused on weight management.
