Adya Clarity response: Label to be modified for full transparency, no internal use marketing without clinical proof (updated)

Adya Clarity

(NaturalNews) I've been in discussions with Matt Monarch, the owner of The Raw Food World and the primary distributor of Adya Clarity, about their response to the questions that have been raised. This is the product covered in my article yesterday which raised questions about several issues, including it being marketed for internal use, labeling problems, health claims and so on (https://www.naturalnews.com/034005_Adya_Clari...).

After reviewing all the available information about Adya Clarity, Matt Monarch has really made a positive decision to commit to three important changes in the labeling and marketing of Adya Clarity as conditions of his continued marketing of the product. Matt informed me that the president of Adya, Inc., Matt Bakos, also agrees to these conditions:

1) Adya Clarity will not be marketed or labeled for internal use unless and until there is clinical evidence available to support the safe internal use of the product. This means Adya would need to be subjected to clinical studies at a reputable organization that can monitor the intake of the product in a group of people and then assess their levels of iron and aluminum to ensure no overload or toxicity results (among other observed outcomes). While such in-depth testing would not normally be expected for a food item with a long history of traditional use as a food, for a non-food item such as Adya Clarity, this type of testing is wise to pursue.

Also: Although this was not one of the agreed conditions, I personally suggest that the product label include the phrase, "Not for internal use" unless it is proven safe for internal use.

2) Adya Clarity will be relabeled with a "full transparency" label that discloses the accurate concentration of elements in the product in a way that is clear to customers and does not minimize or hide any particular element as is currently being done. In addition, the "ingredients" section of the label will accurately list the key ingredient sulfuric acid which is currently not listed on the label, as well as aluminum sulfate in its proper concentration.

3) Adya Clarity's label will conform to the full approval of Ralph Fucetola, the "Vitamin Lawyer," who specializes in FDA-compliant product labeling (www.VitaminLawyer.com). In other words, The Raw Food World will not sell Adya Clarity unless and until the label is approved by Ralph Fucetola. This is a big deal because Fucetola will not allow his name to be associated with any product label unless it strictly conforms to FDA labeling requirements.

In addition to this, any refund requests by customers who purchased Adya Clarity are being honored.

The labeling changes are to be completed within roughly 30 days, says Matt, who has already begun the process of working with Adya, Inc. to get these changes completed. NaturalNews will be kept informed of labeling approval by Ralph Fucetola, assuming he is willing to take on the project (let's hope he does!).

Why I still question the safety of Adya Clarity

For the record, I have good reason to believe that Adya Clarity may not be a safe product. That it has been promoted for internal use is extremely concerning to me. Obviously, NaturalNews will not sell Adya Clarity, not now and not in the future. There is no clinical evidence to support Adya's safety when used internally.

What we are seeing now, even in light of all the questions that have been raised about Adya, is some people defending the product's internal use. Adya is a product with a high iron content (2,000 PPM) dissolved in sulfuric acid. According to a data sheet provided by the manufacturer, the raw materials used to make Adya contain 50 grams per liter of H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), also called "oil of vitriol." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid)

And yet, surprisingly, I see testimonials of people who say they are still drinking it in alarmingly high quantities, such as this one:

"[Name removed] I have been taking four supershots daily for more then 21 days fasting on Adya and coconut water and papaya. I feel its truly potent. I have some challenges with my left ear. Black stuff is coming out of it. I feel its the heavy metals being neutralized coming out the fastest way leaving my brain. I will continue using it."

I have seen other testimonials from people who also insist in internally consuming this product, even as they are describing what they call "detox symptoms" which may in fact have an entirely different explanation.

I do not control the marketing of this product, and I'm not the FDA. What I can do is raise legitimate questions, work with the distributor to improve the product labeling, and then give people like you the information you need to decide for yourself what you wish to consume. Some people make decisions with a level of clarity and common sense, and others simply don't.

You won't see me drinking Adya Clarity, nor selling it. And I would hope that enough common sense exists across the industry that no one else would drink it, either, unless it is somehow proven to be safe for consumption.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
