EvolvHealth is a direct sales company. Their flagship product is called the Evolv it is a "Nutraceutical" water beverage that claims to help increase stamina and endurance, maintain circulation and a whole host of other things.

Their primary validation of this claim is based on marketing statements made that suggest that the product has been endorsed by The University f Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

M. D. Anderson did test the water. Because of the advanced equipment at our institution, we get requests from industry from time to time to use the equipment for commercial endeavors.  We evaluate these requests, and if it's not disruptive to patient care and research, we may accommodate for a fee. However, the tests were very specific, not comprehensive and the results were turned over to the company without interpretation by M. D. Anderson experts.

This is the statement written by the legal department at M. D. Anderson.

M. D. Anderson statement:
Recently, you may have heard or read about a company that sells Evolv, a "nutraceutical beverage," which is being promoted in part based upon testing done at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, but also is being mistakenly viewed as endorsed by M. D. Anderson.  M. D. Anderson conducted limited chemical analysis of the product to evaluate its anti-inflammatory activity for a fee at the request of the manufacturer. No efficacy or toxicity data were generated at M. D. Anderson nor was the product tested on humans. Moreover, M. D. Anderson does not have any involvement with the company, the product is not produced by M. D. Anderson, and M. D. Anderson does not endorse the product or recommend its use.

Evolv and MD Anderson Settle Out of Court

AUTHOR: Soapboxmom - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, November 13, 2010

MD Anderson had a slam dunk with that case.  Trey White's Evolv acquiesced to the cancer hospital's demands.  The court documents are linked and discussed here:
