If I had to pick the top 3 highlights in Schauss’ laughable resume, it would be the following:
1. Schauss, as we all know, got his bogus mail-order PhD degree from California Coast University and was busted for faking his credentials.
http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-7514117/diet-behavior-expert-fakes.html
2. Before joining the Monavie posse, Schauss was notable for plugging second-rate vitamin supplements (Feed My Brain) to little kids. The Feed My Brain website (give it a thorough read…frightening!) gives us an idea of the kind of financial interests Schauss has in the products he’s involved with:
“Dr. Schauss is not employed by Triunity International, nor is he an officer or director of Triunity. Dr, Schauss has a financial interest in the success of sales of both the Feed my Brain Eating to Excel book and the dietary supplement, Feed My Brain. Dr. Schauss is paid a royalty on FMB product sales.”

3. Schauss, when he’s not plugging Monavie as a fake cure for autism, spends his time trying to scrounge up money as a postage stamp dealer.

Did you guys get a chance to look over the Feed My Brain website yet. I figured you’d all find that new tidbit to be interesting (not to mention the stamp dealership).
May 4th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
I didn’t get a chance to look, but it is interesting that Feed My Brain stresses that it is listed as “Feed My Brain (FMB) is a DRUG FREE, dietary supplement that contains over 50 natural ingredients, including 14 learning nutrients and natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables that are building blocks for the human brain.” The capitals for around “Drug Free” are the website’s own emphasis. This is interesting to me because Shante’s article today noted “Dr. Schauss provided advice and prescriptions that significantly aided in Josh’s recovery. Teresa even bought Dr. Schauss’ book Feed My Brain and followed his advice as part of Josh’s recovery.”

Very professional website too. It looks more like it was created by a lurking pedophile than a reputable supplement company.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
I just tried to see the label at the bottom of this page about Feed My Brain. Looks like they didn’t pay their hosting fees as it just goes to GoDaddy.
I’m sure that looking at Danica Patrick is significant upgrade than a looking at the label of a scamming nutritional product.

Vogel – what are your credentials? Who are you? MonaVie Scam? What about you?
What kind of degrees do you have guys?
June 3rd, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Dr Schauss is a great scientist – he published a lot of great work in reputable publications – recently together with NIH scientists.
Maybe you should also try to destroy another scientist’s credentials – Dr Paul Clayton – he is teaching at Oxford University and is a big fan of MonaVie new product (M)mune – he is a fellow at the Royal Society of Medicine. Try to find something on him too – you ……
June 3rd, 2010 at 6:58 pm
See the about page: http://www.juicescam.com/about/. The section you want is after the bullet points. You already said that you have a business degree (in comments elsewhere on this site). Please search this website and debate Vogel’s clinical study analysis…
… then realize that you don’t have credentials or degrees relevant to determining the value of juice. Don’t throw stones when you live in glass houses.
June 3rd, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Please show the reputable publications that Dr. Schauss published. We have discussed many and Dr. Schauss only showed that people should not drink MonaVie.
Don’t worry about Pharmacist Paul Clayton… he did enough to ruin his own reputation in the comments here. To start with, watch your lies, he does not (and has never) teached at Oxford University. He is an advisor to Wellmune (the reason why MonaVie created M(Mun))… so he’s clearly biased. He admitted to being paid to speak about it. Also realize that the Royal Society of Medicine is something that any pharmacist can easily join… which is why Pharmacist Paul Clayton is in it…
… by the way, my wife is a pharmacist. I went to ApHA and there were 100+ pharmacists in the room when Vogel (a recent commenter here) sent medical information about MonaVie’s vitamin K being potentially harmful for people on Warfarin (MonaVie admits this)…
So why do we care about biased Paul Clayton again?

Tom is possibly the biggest dipshit windbag who has ever posted here. Not a single valid point in the numerous posts he spammed us with yesterday. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that Tom was trying to get the details about Monavie’s Lou Niles being a CHILD MOLESTER pushed off the top of the hot list. I’ll make sure he doesn’t get away with it.
June 4th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Tom, I have a Masters degree from the UC Davis School of Food Science and Technology. I have been a food scientist for over thirty years. I have worked as a microbiologist a a fruit juice processing plant for five years.
I could just have easily said that I was a clerk at 7-11, and it would not have changed the well-documented studies about MonaVie in the least.
June 4th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Tom is a f-ing idiot.
Again, people he comes into contact with are in all likelihood going to be of the mistaken belief that he knows what he’s talking about and what he’s doing (perhaps he does but doesn’t care) but at the end of the day he’s a liability to all – especially his family and friends.
