About Our Biochemist: Linsey McLean

Linsey McLean is a graduate of the University of Michigan with specialties in Biology, Chemistry and Clinical Microbiology. Originally she worked in a class 5 CDC reference lab in mycobacteriology and a clinical chemistry lab as a medical technologist.

As an active biochemist for Vita Royal Products, Inc., Linsey works in human research with chronic debilitative diseases and formulates new supplements for commercial use, blends custom supplements for special cases, consults individual clients, does research and teaching.

Her research work includes neurochemistry and sports medicine physiology, with cases ranging from hyperactive children and violent behaviors, to Gulf War Syndrome, to competition performance horses.

In 1983 and 1984, Vita Royal Products was chosen as the official supplier of the United States Equestrian Team. Both custom and commercial supplements were formulated for the Olympic Team and they won a record number of gold and silver medals.

In 1986 Linsey was invited to represent the United States as a Citizen Ambassador in Scientific and Technical Exchange for the People to People Program to New Zealand and Australia. She was invited to represent the United States 1988 in Communist Bloc Countries. Then, in 1991 she spent one month in China traveling and studying Oriental medicine and acupuncture.

After eight years of clinical trials, she was granted two U.S. Patents in 1996 for environmental biochemistry. One was for the first nutritional diet program for weight loss in morbid obesity, normalizing blood sugar in Type II diabetes and lowering cholesterol using supplements and diet, without drugs. This is significant since there are over 28,000 diets registered in the U.S., none ever earning a U.S. Patent for efficacy.

A liquid composition with both nutritional and buffering abilities won her the second.

In 1999, an augmentation to the original program was awarded a U.S. Patent for treatment and control of all autoimmune diseases including Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, as well as chronic fatigue and clinical depression.

Later that same year she was awarded three U. S. Patents for the formulations. One represents a dry formulation of her highly successful liquid Nutrient Buffer; the second addressed "leaky gut syndrome" with a special nutrient supplement blend, and the last defines a soothing, therapeutic bath salt compound.

In 2000, another patent was issued for "Leaky Gut Syndrome."

Linsey has also been honored as a Christopher Columbus Award finalist, an award given for the best discovery of 1998 for the benefit of mankind. In addition to these, she holds four other U.S. Patents, including one for the program that is so successfully restoring health to horses with EPM (Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis).

Linsey also plans to produce additional educational materials in her Environmental Health Connection series.
