CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. 213 206 Complaint EXHIBIT A AUDIO TEXT VIDEO STATEMENTS Norman Errington Productions Presents The Search for the Fountain of Youth MURPHY: Ladies and gentlemen, the show you’re about to see was first broadcast a few months ago. Since that time, we have received literally thousands of letters, some of which Id like to share with you. But let us first watch the show that changed the lives of so many people.

MURPHY: Welcome to our program to explore new ways to improve your life. I’m your host, Paul Murphy. For centuries, mankind has searched for that elusive Fountain of Youth. Ponce de Leon spent his entire life searching. Others have traveled and visited ancient cultures, hoping to find clues and answers. For centuries, people have looked for ways to renew that youthful vitality, and for ways to live longer and more productive lives. What we're about to present to you may change your life. Across the world's cultures, we found similarities in their style of living that seem to unlock some of the mysteries of longevity. Many of these cultures have groups who have extended their years, and we found that each of these cultures has a common link. And we'll be exploring these similarities.

The locations of these cultures range from the mountains of Tibet to the rich heritage of Aztec and Mayan civilizations, in Europe and to the Orient. One thing we've found is that America is behind in reaching for those lessons to provide longer and healthier lives.

The man who has obviously bathed in the Fountain of Youth is this nearly 90year-old man they call Superman. Twenty-five years ago he was not able to walk and his son wanted him to go to a nursing home because of poor health. We're going to meet Noel Johnson. Not only did he stay out of the nursing home and prove his doctors wrong, this Superman is the oldest person to ever complete the New York Marathon. He's treated like a king in Thailand; he's appeared on hundreds of television programs, and he's a national treasure for his ability to overcome aging. He improves his condition with every marathon he runs. We'll meet Bob Kite. He's an athlete who doesn’t fit the mold. Due to his heavy business schedule, he's unable to work out on a regular basis, so he relies on an energy source to carry him to victory in some of the toughest endurance races in the world.

In the next few minutes, we'll also meet the father of the health food movement today, Dr. Bernard Jensen. Dr. Jensen has traveled the world searching for the answers to provide information on how all of us can live more vital lives. He's studied cultures across the world, and you'll be surprised at his findings. Complaint 116 F.T.C.

And we'll meet a man who has devoted the past 30 years to a mission, to find the Fountain of Youth. His travels led him down many roads. He's developed a company devoted to providing the Fountain of Youth. The Search for the Fountain of Youth “The Search for the Fountain of Youth" is not offering any medical miracles, nor are we making any medical claims at all in this report. We're simply going to present the facts as we have found them, so you can explore this phenomenon with us. It's not surprising today that people are turning away from medicines to treat the sick and turning to wellness efforts to ensure the well-being of people before they become sick. :

This is a story that begins almost a half-century ago in war-torn England. An American from Eaton, Colorado, volunteered to assist the Royal Canadian Air Force in England. His story will have a remarkable effect on the American quest for vitality. Royden Brown was first introduced to the opportunity for improvements in health through nutrition in 1943 at an officers’ dining table. He was introduced to a food that changed his life and changed others’. MURPHY: Royden, are the benefits of bee pollen a recent discovery? BROWN: Bee pollen was on earth before man. It's as old as antiquity. Bee pollen and the products of the beehive are ... were ... found in the tombs of the pharaohs of Egypt, five and six thousand years ago. The products of the beehive have been reverenced in all major religions. The Torah, the code of Islam, the scrolls of the middle east, the writings of China, everywhere, the products of the beehive have been held in reverence.

For example, in the St. James version of the Bible, they're mentioned 68 times. And, of more recent vintage, the risen Jesus Christ, when He came back to earth, the first food He ate was bee pollen. God had Him eat bee pollen, symbolically, for the reason that Man was supposed to make bee pollen an integral part of his life.

MURPHY: Why haven’t we heard more about the positive aspects of bee pollen? BROWN: Mainly because the pharmaceutical companies cannot patent bee pollen and make their 40- and 50-times markup of their cost. Bee pollen is a low- - profit food.

MURPHY: Let's find out a little more about the magic of bee pollen. In every corner of the earth, we're blessed with flowers. Ever wonder about the purpose of flowers? They provide beauty to the eye and a lift to the spirit. Scientists have found a far greater purpose. Wildflowers provide a source for honeybees who must visit 1,500 individual flowers to collect just one granule of bee pollen. Just one tablet of bee pollen can contain pollen from as many as 100,000 flowers. Bee pollen has been called Nature's5 1 5 8 7 9 1501 2554 109 38 96.941444 perfect5 1 5 8 7 10 1621 2554 85 29 80.642159 food because it has CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. “215 206 Complaint everything the body requires - all the protein, all the minerals, and a great source of energy. It's the essence of life itself.

Bee pollen is brought back to the hive and is collected in special traps. In addition to pollen, another element of the hive is royal jelly. Now, just as the name implies, royal jelly is given to a selected bee and that alone makes an ordinary bee the queen. Not only does the royal jelly create the queen, it also extends her life from an average of 35 days to five or six years. Depiction of Print Article Containing Royal Family Photos and Headline: Secret Love Potion Made Fergie Pregnant It's been reported in newspapers and magazines for years that the Royal Family has used royal jelly. Although the Royal Family is obviously protective of all information, the British press regularly features the Royal Family's use of royal jelly. The press also has highlighted reports that the Queen Mother attributes royal jelly for her remarkable stamina and that Princess Anne uses it when she competes in equestrian évents. It's even been reported that the Queen herself takes extra royal jelly when she has particularly arduous engagements to undertake. We'll be back in a minute with more information on our search for the Fountain of Youth. First, we'll meet Noel Johnson, who is turning back the pages of time.

JOHNSON: I’m Noel Johnson from San Diego, California. I'll soon be 90 years old. I'm running marathons, I'm boxing - a World Senior Boxing Champion. I’m a bee pollen lover. I use bee pollen every day of my life. Without the bee pollen, you cannot have the energy to continue to live.

We found one man who actually seems to be growing younger. Now you may not believe the growing success of Noel Johnson, but his unique story has been the focus of national magazine articles, with Dan Rather special profiles on national television, and in national magazines. And he's now treated like a prince in many countries for his ability to battle the ravages of time. David Letterman called him Superman and he's now astounding medical doctors as he approaches his ninetieth birthday - Let's meet Noel Johnson. He's a world-class marathon runner - that's a 26-mile run. He's a world-class boxer. He's defeated boxers half his age. His name is synonymous with longevity throughout the world. Simply, he’s reversed the aging process. Recently, Reader's Digest summarized the success story of Noel Johnson. At 70, Noel K. Johnson of San Diego had heart trouble, arthritis and gout. He drank too much. He was 50 pounds overweight. He was in such bad shape that his son suggested he enter a nursing home. Today, at nearly 90, he's a trim 138 pounds and claims his afflictions have disappeared. We had a chance to meet the remarkable Noel Johnson.

I was improvin’, and I said, “Well, I'm gonna continue." So I continued to take the bee pollen and doing’ my light exercise and things like that, and by the time it got to be 85, I was much better than I was at 80. And now I'm getting near 90, I’m better'n I was at 85. I'm improving right along. I’ve found . . . I'm finding out new things all the time. Bee pollen is one of the things that has done it.

I was running in the New York Marathon one time, running down Brooklyn, a lady came out and put her arms around me and says, “"How’d you like to run home with me?"

MURPHY: Noel Johnson’s book, A Dud at Seventy ... Stud at 80, has received world-wide recognition. It’s been printed in dozens of languages. Johnson’s new book is about to be published: Be Healthy to 100. It’s sure to be another international hit. Johnson is certainly a unique individual. In just a few minutes, we'll let you know how to order the same High Desert Bee Pollen that Johnson uses daily.

Certainly, a lot of world-class athletes are using this food, bee pollen. It offers energy that can’t be achieved any other way, no matter what kind of condition you may be in. It also offers the non-athlete the ability to achieve. A great example is Bob Kite of Phoenix, Arizona. Kite began taking bee pollen seven years ago, and now he's the envy of the running group in Arizona and California. But what makes him unique is that he does not train like the competition. He freely admits to being a junk food fan, but feels bee pollen lets him mix irregular workouts with running competition and still be a winner. We caught up with Bob Kite and asked him how long has he been taking bee pollen. KITE: I’ve been taking’ it for about seven years now, off and on. I’m not a devout athlete, nor a nutritionist by any means. I eat a lot of garbage food. I’ve been known to get comfortable at a Burger King every now and then and, in fact, I’m a soft drink junkie, but at the same time I supplement it with the bee pollen and I think that's more or less my ace in the hole as far as mixing athletics with decadence in life. If you eat enough of the right stuff, it makes up for the bad stuff that you typically put into your diet.

A lot of the success of that was the fact that I took quite a bit of bee pollen before the race, and then during the race I’d be eating’ the bee pollen bars, mainly because your body can only last about two, two-and-a-half hours on what it can store, what ... the carbo loading theory. After that, you're ... you're turning cannibal on yourself, and it's just whatever the body can consume. If you can put something else new in there, it won't eat yourself up. I think that the bee pollen really kicked into effect in those third, fourth and fifth hours of running. Whereas everybody else was bonking and trying to survive on bananas and chocolate, I was doing just fine on the pollen. If you can take it long enough, you will be healthier. It ... it just is nothing more than a food. It's a pure food; it's a complete food. So, if your diet is bad, or if you’re inconsistent with your diet, this bee pollen is kinda like mortar. You can build a nice wall with rocks, but if you don't have that mortar in there it'll fall apart sooner or later. Bee pollen kinda fills it all in and makes it solid because you can live on it. You can ... bee pollen and water, you can live on it.

The Search for the Fountain of Youth MURPHY: There is no doubt that the bee pollen story is a fascinating one. In the next few years, you’ll see the growth in bee pollen sales to levels like in Scandinavian and oriental cultures. Remember, bee pollen is not a drug; it's a food. High Desert Bee Pollen is America's number one pollen distributor to other nations.

One country uses more High Desert Bee Pollen than any other. Nearly one in four people in Iceland use High Desert Bee Pollen regularly. This is due to the remarkable story of Gissur Gugmondsson. Gissur was nearly bedridden for years and was in pain all the time. Here is his story, translated from the Rekjavik daily newspapers on November 10, 1987:

TRANSLATOR: Around the age of sixty, I began to suffer from a marked lack of breath, especially when I had to carry or lift heavy objects. I mentioned this to my doctor who, after careful examination, diagnosed hardening of the arteries and other ailments afflicting my muscles and joints. He advised me to give up all heavy manual labor immediately to avoid making my condition worse, hinting I could even drop down dead any minute. In the following years, I was plagued with various ailments, in particular with rheumatism, which caused me unbearable suffering in most of my joints.

I was provided with a specially constructed table and chair for reading and writing, and had supports strapped around my knees for walking and had begun using a walking stick. I underwent tests during this period. Everything was tried. I underwent therapy and massage and all of this was positive as far as it went. I read about the body's nutritional needs, and when I read about bee pollen I felt it CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. 219 206 Complaint was something worth looking into. I began taking it in tablet form and then bought a box of grains and increased my intake. Then my body really started to return to form. A miracle happened. The effect snowballed. The pain disappeared from joints, and other improvements followed, such as a vast increase in my stamina and general zest for life. My heartbeat is perfectly normal, my vision no longer impaired, and I have stopped using the reading glasses which I needed for thirty-seven years. I have also quit using the leg straps and walking stick. My doctor for the past five years confirmed the truth of everything I have said about the time I have been her patient. I am now nearing the age of 81, and I am absolutely satisfied with the life I lead and enjoy doing so. Pollen has done so much for me and I shall never stop taking it.

He has written over 50 books in his life-long quest for knowledge about nutrition. His search for long life and to discover the secrets of health has led him to over 55 countries. He received the Dag Hammerskjold Award for his efforts in nutritional research, ana .1lso was presented a special award from Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. Dr. Jensen is an outspoken advocate of bee pollen.

JENSEN: There are very few foods I consider whole foods. Bee pollen is one of those foods. It feeds every part of the body, and especially the glandular side of our body. And when it feeds those glands, this gives us the energy and the pep for repair and rebuilding. And we find that bee pollen is part of the food that the bee lives on. That is what feeds the queen bee. We find out that this is .. gives us the best part of that bee colony to build a whole bee: the eye, the nerves, the spine, the responsiveness, the nervous system, the digestive system. It feeds Complaint 116 F.T.C.

and makes a whole body, and it does that for the human as well as it does for the bee. There’s no doubt in my mind that the High Desert Bee Pollen is one thing that I have felt will bring more health, more longevity, a greater power in that body, for the rest of your life.

MURPHY: Dr. Jensen speaks as an expert. He has spent a lifetime looking for ways to increase longevity. He’s traveled to hundreds of places on earth where longer lives share a common thread with each of these cultures. And that thread is bee pollen. Jensen has spent thousands of hours with people over 100 years of age and all of these cultures, no matter the location, are bee keepers.

All our products go directly to you from harvesting, right here in the good old U.S.A. While many of the imported pollens lose up to 70% of their potency in shipment from other countries or while sitting on shelves for many months. And I’d like to add that we have supplied the White House, Camp David, Air Force One and Executive One for many years. Now ‘these bars even went to the Moscow Summit and we're very proud of that.

EXHIBIT B AUDIO TEXT VIDEO STATEMENTS UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: Insider One Safety Tower. Runway three five right cleared for takeoff.

PILOT: Insider One, Roger UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: TV Insiders with Investigator Vince Inneo. VIDEO: TV Insiders, with Investigator Vince Inneo MR. INNEO: Hello. I’m Vince Inneo, your inside information investigator. Welcome to this very special edition of TV Insiders. No matter what walk of life or what the subject, it’s no secret that having inside information keeps you steps ahead of the others. That's why we're here. This installment is critically important. Many of you have written possibly the most valuable inside information we have yet uncovered. Here are some of the hundreds of letters asking us or telling us about a 73-year-old Phoenix, Arizona man who many of you have claimed has rediscovered nature’s formula for youth. Listen to some of these amazing stories.

VIDEO: From D.A.L.’s Letter MALE SPEAKER: I had arthritis in a very painful state in my left foot to the extent that I was limping quite noticeably. Now the arthritic pain has vanished completely, I am now able to walk normally.

VIDEO: Pat Patten, Homemaker FEMALE VOICE: I’ve been using it about a year now. I had dry patches on my face. They are gone. My energy level has increased. I feel great all over. Even my fingernails have grown. It's been a godsend. VIDEO: From Dr. F.M.’s Letter MALE SPEAKER: It helped me a lot. I’m telling the patients that are interested in their health. Keep up the good work. MR. INNEO: These are only a sampling of the letters from people around the world who want to share this information.

Here is one from Mr. Magnus Bjornsen in Iceland. He writes that his health had deteriorated to being confined 24 hours a day to a wheelchair. However, CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. 223 206 Complaint today he has regained his health, has left the wheelchair behind, exercises and works a ten-hour day and he is 70 years old. Mrs. Ragner Breeford of Norway writes of how she suffered ten to twelve days every month with PMS. She would be bedridden for several days at a time. Now she is free of pain for the first time in her adult life. Some have written books. Noel Johnson’s autobiography tells us that at the age of 70 he was about to be committed to a nursing home because he could no longer care for himself. But something happened. Eighteen years later at the age of 88 he is now participating in the 26-mile New York Marathon and leads a healthy, happy and more vital life.

Look at these letters from advocates the world over who are sharing this discovery, hundreds of them, all of them documented and some quoted in this book Thes 1 2 3 3 3 813 1181 125 30 95.574165 World's5 1 2 3 3 4 952 1181 79 39 96.119118 Only5 1 2 3 3 5 1043 1182 114 30 96.893555 Perfect5 1 2 3 3 6 1168 1184 110 29 93.157478 Food. But this is the most exciting, a copy of December's Parade Magazine. President Ronald Reagan was asked how he keeps so youthful and why he doesn’t have gray hair. The President said his secret comes from something he obtains in Phoenix, Arizona.

President Reagan is the only president I can remember who looks as good, if not better, after eight years as President of the United States in what many claim to be the world's toughest job.

Think about this for a second. Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter all seem to have aged after only four years in the White House. Stay with me as we fly to Phoenix to meet this mysterious man and uncover the Reagan secret.

But first, let me share with you this interview I had earlier with Miss Carol Brown. Miss Brown was the liaison in the Reagan White House. MR. INNEO: Hi, Carol. I’m Vince Inneo from TV Insiders. MS. BROWN: Hi, Vince. It's nice to meet you. Have a seat. VIDEO: Carol Brown Liaison MR. INNEO: Thank you. We have letters from people all over the world telling us that former President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan know about something that reportedly makes people live longer and healthier lives. As liaison to the White House in this area, do you know about this and are you able to talk about it? MS. BROWN: Yes. I’ll be happy to tell you anything you need to know. MR. INNEO: Is it true then? Is there really something to all this? MS. BROWN: It's absolutely true.

MR. INNEO: And former President Ronald Reagan and Mrs. Reagan are ardent advocates? MS. BROWN: That's also true. I have a letter here from Mrs. Reagan and her picture. She's a wonderful lady.

Complaint 116 F.T.C.

MR. INNEO: Okay. Carol, what is it? What is the Reagan secret? MS. BROWN: It's bee pollen much of which comes from mountainous areas. MR. INNEO: Bee pollen will really do all this for you? MS. BROWN: That and more.

MR. INNEO: Now, you say mountainous areas of the world. Does this really make a difference? MS. BROWN: Oh yes. Bee pollen from high altitudes is much richer there and more potent. Just ask Dr. Gary Null. He knows everything bee pollen can do for you.

MR. INNEO: Who else knows about this secret? MS. BROWN: The Queen of England and the Royal Family have been consuming bee pollen products for generations. In a recent January article they reported about Lady Di's consumption of royal jelly. MR. INNEO: Can I walk into any health food store and purchase Mountain- High Bee Pollen? MS. BROWN: Mountain-High Bee Pollen is rather an exclusive item and you must contact the maker directly.

MR. INNEO: Well, thank you, Carol. This inside information has really been of tremendous help to us. I appreciate the time that you spent with us. MS. BROWN: Thank you. It's been my pleasure. MR. INNEO: Now you know why we're going to Phoenix. Mountain-High Bee Pollen. Listen to what health and nutritional expert Dr. Gary Null has to say about it.

In the last 20 years Gary Null has written not less than 51 books, three of which are presently on the best seller's list. He is a research scientist in the field of nutrition and publishes the Natural Living Newsletter. He’s a world class lecturer at colleges and universities. He has appeared on such shows as the Phil Donahue Show, the Tonight and Today shows and has his own radio and TV shows. He is also a health food columnist for national publications. Materials from his investigations have been used by 20/20 and 60 Minutes. Gary Null knows his stuff. He practices what he preaches. Via satellite this is my Insider interview with Dr. Gary Null.

Gary, this is Vince Inneo with TV Insiders. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk to you.

Dr. Gary Null, Nutritionist, Scientist, Author MR. GARY NULL: Thank you very much for inviting me. I'm happy to share any information on bee pollen that might help the people in the audience. What questions do you have? MR. INNEO: To be very honest with you, Gary until the Insider team received so many letters about Mountain-High Bee Pollen’s Company, I’d never heard of it. My question is why? If Mountain-High Bee Pollen is supposed to be so good for you, why haven't we heard more about it? CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. 225 206 Complaint MR. NULL: The reason that we haven’t heard more about bee pollen is that we have taken a pharmaceutical look at disease, we haven’t emphasized wellness, and it's only now that we're beginning to examine the role of vitamins and minerals, Vitamin C and Vitamin E and B-6 and even some of the exotic nutrients like Co-enzyme Q-10, Germanium and Carnitine for our good health. Well, if there is not a way of profiting by exclusively being able to patent a product and market it under your own brand name, then why promote it? You don't want something that everyone can find that's inexpensive - bee pollen’s inexpensive, royal jelly's inexpensive - that's readily available, but also there's not a supply enough for everyone. That's why the pharmaceutical industry has not Jumped on the bandwagon. With a drug you can take even an herb, and you can make a chemical extract. And ah! Here's something you should know. This substantiates bee pollen's importance. Time and again they've tried to chemically in a laboratory duplicate bee pollen and royal jelly, and they have failed every . time. They can’t get the same results, which is telling us that nature provided the bee pollen and royal jelly with some intrinsic factor, some mysterious factor, that science cannot duplicate. And that’s why it's so perfect. But again you don’t have enough bee pollen and you don’t have enough royal jelly to feed everyone who can benefit from it. So it’s kind of an Insider's health secret.

MR. INNEO: What exactly is bee pollen? MR. NULL: Bee pollen is one of the most perfect foods ever found in nature. In fact, it's probably the most concentrated in enzymes. You see, our body functions because of enzymes. You age because you don't produce éenough enzymes. So one way to slow down the aging process is to have more enzymerich foods. That's why fresh juices and raw foods are better than over-processed and cooked foods.

Well, you can't get any better food than bee pollen because it's not cooked, it's not processed. It is loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes. In fact, there's one nutrient that it has that can help the inside of your body prevent the capillaries from aging.

Did you ever notice when you hit at yourself, you’ll bruise? Well it could be a deficiency of bioflavinoids, and one way of getting bioflavinoids is through bee pollen because you're getting rutin.

Rutin has been shown to help the fragilities capillaries. Therefore, you don't get those little splotches on the legs and wherever you might bruise. So it's antiaging.

Now, the bees go out, they collect from these beautiful flowers, they collect the pollen. They bring the pollen back, and‘60 percent to 70 percent is kept for the person collecting it and 30 percent is allowed to remain with the bees because that’s what they eat. Because after all, as good as it is for humans. It's the life thread for the bees, and that's what we benefit from. Complaint 116 F.T.C.

MR. INNEO: TV Insiders’ investigation team has seen letters from people throughout the world claiming they not only look and feel younger, but their friends and family have noticed changes. Is it reasonable for people to really expect to live longer and healthier lives by adding Mountain-High Bee Pollen to their daily regimen? MR. NULL: I think it's entirely reasonable. Gloria Swanson, the famous actress who’s a very good friend of mine, she looked magnificent with no facelifts. Her skin, if you saw her up close, her hands and her face were very very smooth, almost like a baby's. She had bee pollen and royal jelly twice a day, and she would rely and say, .

Gary, this is part of my secret. It wasn't the only thing, but it was a primary part.

And throughout centuries people who have lived around bee hives or who have been the aviary keepers. People who have formed bees, these are the people who have had really long, vital lives and have looked better. And Loni Anderson commented in an article that one of the reasons she keeps her health, along with a good diet and the exercise, is she includes bee pollen. MR. INNEO: Okay. Let me put it to you directly. I start using Mountain- High Bee Pollen today, what can I look forward to? What can I honestly expect? MR. NULL: I think reasonably we could expect to enhance our overall wellbeing. It’s not always easy to measure because some of the changes are subtle. For instance, when you’re ten years older and you've been eating right and you've been exercising and you’ ve been taking in bee pollen or royal jelly and you don’t look the same age as your contemporaries, when you don’t feel the same way, when you have boundless energy, when you don’t go through those up-anddowns, as peaks and valleys that you normally would, when instead of needing a cup of coffee, you have sustained energy, when your sex life is improved, do you ascribe that just to bee pollen? Well, you can ascribe some of it possibly to bee pollen. It certainly will do two things. It will certainly enhance our overall well-being because we are what we eat, we're what we breathe, we're what we drink and we're what we think. Positive living, positive diet and a positive amount of bee pollen, I feel, enhances the total quality of life.

MR. INNEO: The Insiders’ message is becoming clear. If you do nothing else, if you can’t or won’t exercise, if you’re interested in your well-being but you're not willing to jump on the health food mega-vitamin bandwagon, if you're concerned about the side effects of adding unnatural, manufactured or artificial vitamins or chemical supplements to your diet, if you, like the other people we’ ve heard from and spoken to, want to live longer, healthier and happier lives, if you want that second chance at life, there is something you can do. I’.1] be right back after this message.

MR. INNEO: Welcome back to TV Insiders and our conversation with Dr. Gary Null.

Gary, is Mountain-High Bee Pollen a drug, and are there any side effects to worry about? MR. NULL: Oh, absolutely not. Bee pollen is not a drug. It’s 100 percent natural. It’s organic. It's loaded with good nutrition. The only side effect of eating bee pollen is improved well-being.

MR. INNEO: Can you cite specific medical or scientific studies which are proof positive that Mountain-High Bee Pollen leads to a longer, healthier life? MR. NULL: There have been a lot of medical studies and scientific studies on the benefit of bee pollen and especially when it comes to the aging. DR. GARY NULL Nutritionist, Scientist, Author: One of the men who first studied bee pollen was a man named Dr. Price. And Dr. Price studied a group of people called the Hunzacotts. The Hunzacotts lived in an area called Hunza. Now, if you remember Hilton's movie, Lost Horizons, the movie with Ronald Colbin [sic], well, that Shangri-la was actually a real place. It was called Hunza. Complaint 116 F.T.C.

Now, that doesn’t mean everything that was in the movie actually happened, but it was based upon a real people and that people still exist today. There's some 70,000 who live at an altitude of 10,000 feet in that area of the world, and they have as a part of their diet, and I know because I’ve interviewed the Mir, the ruler's family Said Khan, and he told me about what they eat, and they eat almost everyday bee pollen and royal jelly.

So there you had a whole culture that benefitted over the centuries, the last 2,000 years, from eating this.

MR. INNEO: With all due respect, isn't there an age level where sexual dysfunction is automatic no matter what you do? MR. NULL: There is no age to where the sexual apparatus diminishes or dies. MR. INNEO: Our inside information shows that some bee pollen to be better than others. Can Mountain-High Bee Pollen make this claim? Is it really the best? MR. NULL: Not all bee pollen is the same; please keep that in mind. Much of the pollen in the United States is from the Florida and Texas area, and California where a lot of pesticides can be used and pesticides can get on the bee pollen.

The best bee pollen comes from your mountainous areas, the mountains of Arizona, the mountains of Wisconsin, of the high area of Indiana, where you have very little pesticides or none at all. In fact, in some of the states they've forbidden pesticides because of the dairy lobby, which is good, and so you want that. Also the bees are heartier at a higher altitude.

MR. INNEO: So you were saying that bee pollen from mountains is the best? MR. NULL: The mountainous area is the best MR. INNEO: Why would you recommend that people use Mountain-High Bee Pollen over other nutritional supplements? MR. NULL: Because you're starting off with the best. You're starting off with the most potent, the most balanced, the most whole food that we could take in as a nutritional supplement, and then all the other changes you make in addition to that are only going to enhance your total well-being. MR. INNEO: Gary, sum up the Insider Information for us. MR. NULL: There is something to this that the American public is not aware of that the rest of the world seems to be taking and has been for a long time. We should be ailowed in on this very important nutrient. MR. INNEO: Thank you for being our guest today, Dr. Null. Your inside information has been invaluable.

MR. NULL: Thank you.

MR. INNEO: As I said, Dr. Gary Null is the authority on health and nutrition. He really does know his stuff.

UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Please buckle your seat belt. We are now arriving in Phoenix.

MR. INNEO: Now we’re going to meet who developed Mountain-High Bee Pollen. His name is Mr. Royden Brown.

CC POLLEN COMPANY, ET AL. 229 206 Complaint Mr. Brown.

MR. ROYDEN BROWN: Yes, sir.

MR. INNEO: Hi, Mr. Brown. My name is Vince Inneo with TV Insiders. How are you, sir? MR. BROWN: I'm perfect, thank you, sir. Would you have a chair? MR. INNEO: Thank you. According to what we found out about you, you've really come up with something. Can you tell us when you learned about the effects of Mountain-High Bee Pollen? VIDEO: Royden Brown, Chairman of the Board, C C Pollen Co. MR. BROWN: It was in 1943 in the officers’ mess in London, England. I was a pilot at the RAF at the time. Another pilot gave me an article in some newspaper, and I think it was the London Sunday Times, about bee pollen. It described this miraculous food that it had all the nutrients you needed for perfect health, and it would do everything for you. Well, frankly, I must admit I didn't think any food was that good.

MR. INNEO: Mountain-High Bee Pollen does all that? MR. BROWN: Yes, sir. It’s uh. It’s a marvelous food. If it has all the nutrients, and I know it does, for perfect health, it will do everything for you. It will move you toward perfect health. It's mentioned 68 times in the Bible. It was given to the risen Jesus Christ after the resurrection and that was symbolically, in my opinion, that every person on earth should make bee pollen a staple part of their diet every day of their lives.

MR. INNEO: I understand former President Ronald Reagan is one of your best customers? MR. BROWN: He certainly is. He's been eating bee pollen since 1961, and we've been furnishing the bee pollen since he was governor. He's the best specimen I know of, of what bee pollen does for you. President Reagan has had the toughest job in the world. He's had the most responsibility of anybody in the world. He was shot and near death, and look where he is; he's in perfect health, sharp as a tack. Bee pollen, perfect example of ingesting bee pollen.

MR. INNEO: Why haven't we heard more about, Mountain-High Bee Pollen? MR. BROWN: Because Mountain-High Bee Pollen is a food and not a drug. It can’t be patented. There's not 50 or 100 times markup in the price of it, so the pharmaceutical companies can’t make money on selling bee pollen. That's why we haven’t heard about it.

MR. INNEO: For those people who are allergic to pollen, will they be able to use Mountain-High Bee Pollen? MR. BROWN: Bee pollen according to Leo N. Conroy, M.D. in Denver, Colorado, an allergist, says that bee pollen is the best reliever of allergies that he's ever found. He's had, he had over 60 thousand patients documented and 94 Complaint: 16 F.T.C.

percent of them were completely relieved of the symptoms by ingesting the bee pollen. , MR. INNEO: Never have pollen-related allergies again? MR. BROWN: Never have pollen allergy symptoms again, rest of their lives. MR. INNEO: Mr. Brown, what if someone were taking vitamins, would they have to continue them or will Mountain-High Bee Pollen alone be enough? MR. BROWN: Well, the only problem with the individual taking vitamins, he doesn't know how much Vitamin C to take or how much Vitamin E. If you take bee pollen, it's all in the bee pollen. God made bee pollen the perfect balance of perfect nutrients of all the nutrients, so you don’t need to take vitamins when you take bee pollen.

MR. INNEO: I’ve heard from people that Mountain-High Bee Pollen helps them lose weight. Can you tell me how? MR. BROWN: Well, Mountain-High Bee Pollen has all the nutrients you need for perfect health. So when you eat Mountain-High Bee Pollen before each meal, it satisfies your appetite. As a result, you eat a little less food with each meal you eat and you lose weight constantly as long as you’re eating the Mountain-High Bee Pollen.

MR. INNEO: I have never taken Mountain-High Bee Pollen. Start me off, I mean, what do I get? MR. BROWN: Well, if I were you, I would get three things. First, 1 would get the Bee-Young tablets. Bee-Young tablets will prevent you from losing your memory. You certainly want to have your memory all the rest of your life. Loss of memory is the first step into the nursing home, and you certainly don’t want to do that.

The second thing I would get would be the Mountain-High Royal Jelly. Royal Jelly is the greatest rejuvenating and sex stamina food known to man, and you certainly want to have, be active sexually all the rest of your life. The third thing you want to get is the Pollenergy 520 capsules. The Mountain-High Bee Pollen is the greatest energy source, greatest energy food known to man.

With these three things, I guarantee you that you will have a higher quality of life the last half of your life than you had the first half. MR. INNEO: Thank you, Mr. Brown, I really thank you for giving TV Insiders this inside information not only has it been inspirational to me, but I’m sure motivational not only to myself but to our viewers. Thank you again for all of us.

MR. BROWN: Any time. My pleasure.

MR. INNEO: That was simply amazing. I told you in the beginning that this edition of TV Insiders would be critically important. The message is clear.
