Recently commenter Sandy Covert posted,
“Hi Leo, I found a lab to test Umary for the bad ingredients. When I talked to the lab person, he said he tested it for two different people and it does have them in it.”
I responded to Sandy thus: ”
That is good info, Sherry! I presume that the “bad ingredients” are diclofenac and the antacid. My question is, which no one seems to be able or want to answer, in what quantities are those ingredients present? The lab in Victoria purported to find simply unbelievable amounts in their (very questionable) tests. 40% is simply beyond belief as everyone who has been taking UMARY all these years would have dropped dead long ago.
Going to continue to continue to offer memberships in Stop My Pain Now and UMARY as a perk of membership. As always I strongly advise people to inform themselves, pay attention to how it affects their body and make responsible choices accordingly.
Again, I want to thank you for your diligence in tracking down this information.”
Yes, I should have better edited my response, but there it is; the good, the bad and the ungrammatical.
Two things come to mind. First, what is this lab, where is it? Sandy, if you have that info I’d love to know. It is this kind of verifiable information that lends weight and credibility to the claim that “bad ingredients” were found. It also gives me the chance to probe the issue and develop more precise answers to questions about the integrity of UMARY. I want these answers not only for my sake but for the sake of all of you, my friends.
Second is the question, what is a “bad ingredient”? The answer is, “that depends.” I don’t think we’re talking about corrupt or unwholesome ingredients. I am minded of the story some years ago that baby formula from China included chalk as an ingredient because it made the powder white.
As an aside, the Ravishing Wife worked for a firm owned and operated by three very wealthy sisters who owned a garment factory in the People’s Republic of China. One of the sisters, they were all native PRC Chinese, flew to the U.S. to give birth to her second child (not permitted in China at that time) so that the child would be an American citizen. Once the baby was born she signed up for WIC, then went back to China. WIC faithfully sent her monthly consignments of baby formula for years after.
Given the circumstances I can’t blame her for getting trustworthy formula as opposed to the never-to-be-trusted formula (or much of anything else edible) available in China. I don’t like it, she was bilking the American taxpayer to provide what, with her millions, she could well afford for herself. I wonder if Elon Musk’s DOGE would have caught her?
Back on point. The “bad ingredients”, assuming they are the two objected to by the FDA, are not poisonous nor universally dangerous. One of my friends is deathly allergic to shrimp. Is shrimp a “bad ingredient” that must be banned for everyone to protect the tiny minority of people for whom it is truly dangerous? No.
You, my friends, keep renewing your memberships and receiving your UMARY because the proven benefits outweigh the risks. I freely acknowledge that some former members have quit because their bodies have reacted negatively to one or another ingredient in UMARY (I have no way of knowing to what ingredient or combination of ingredients, the nature of the reaction or its severity). I am very glad of this because they have intelligently and responsibly evaluated UMARY for them and their lives and made mature, informed decisions accordingly. I am very proud of these people, would that the world had more like them.
The Ravishing Wife and I continue to pray for you and wish you joy and long life.
Blessings,
Leo
I have been taking Umary for a year now. I am so scared of how my body is going to act next week when I finally finish them. I am in Canada and with the pill not available here anymore and the state of our dollar, I’m not sure.
Tanna;
You might try UMOVY, which according to several users works about as well as UMARY and is not prohibited by anybody. As for economic bobbles, I have prioritized service to my friends (that’s all you guys) over profit. I will have to increase prices at some point, perhaps soon, but have not done so yet.
Best,
Leo
Your answer neither confirmed or denied the presence of diclofenac or antacids. These are not listed in the product label so either this is false advertising or lack of integrity. I am a physician and I love your product but I can not recommend it without full disclosure. For most people I see diclofenac would be a dangerous medicine. Please respond with a truthful unambiguous statement
Darren;
Of course I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of these ingredients. I have asked the manufacturer for precise information but they have declined to provide it. That is not surprising as they would want to protect their proprietary information and not divulge their formulas to any and all comers. I have even been contacted by certain individuals who offered me money for that information, which I would have declined even if I had the formula. Interestingly, these same people told me that they are now having difficulty getting bulk Umary as they were swapping out the labels and marketing it under a different name.
One of my commenters says she contacted a US lab which has analyzed Umary, which lab confirmed the presence of Diclofenac and the antacid in question. I have recently contacted the lab and asked to purchase a detailed copy of that report, no answer yet.
Given the abysmal performance of the medical industry, including both government agencies and commercial practitioners during the Covid “pandemic” and the subsequent “vaccine” dog and pony shows, I am skeptical that there is any integrity to be found anywhere. That is why I withhold judgement, despite the vague claims of “reputable” organizations. Until I have concrete evidence to the contrary I continue to promote Umary as it presented by the manufacturer and include the caveat that it might not be what it is claimed to be. But it is effective for most people. That is beyond question.
