Evolv videos and testimonies
October 24th, 2009
Trey White, founder, billionaire dude.
Gio Tomasini, original Evolver, GREAT story.
Dr. Jay Collins, one of the inventors of Evolv’s proprietary formula.
Guy Mezger, former UFC champion.
Cindy Beach, regular gal.
Slick….
Gio Tomasini: “It depends on your body. How it absorbs it.” “It’s all natural. No additives, no sugar, no .. nothing.” (3:38 mins into video).
If what Gio’s saying is true, then Evolv is merely water (for $2/bottle)
Dr. Jay Collins: “We developed a water, which we used to clean up oil spills” – this is a precursor to Evolv. I could be wrong, but aren’t those substances usually filled with anaerobic bacterium (bacteria that does not require oxygen to survive and may actually produce oxygen as a byproduct of their metabolism)?
It there are micro-organisms in Evolv (one way to keep goose livers pink after 3 -4 weeks in Evolv), I’d be careful of how it is being labelled (see Gio’s quote) and marketed.
I watched the videos, and they were enlightening.
Good luck with your business. Hapajap.
Evolv is all natural amino acids and enzymes, including extracts of Alfalfa leaves, and stems and whey; Bromelaine (from pinapple), Papain (from Papaya), Protease, Amylase, Lipase, Lactase and Cellulase, contains Milk Whey.
“all natural amino acids and enzymes, including extracts of Alfalfa leaves, and stems and whey; Bromelaine (from pinapple), Papain (from Papaya), Protease, Amylase, Lipase, Lactase and Cellulase, contains Milk Whey.” that won’t be broken down in the stomach?
Exactly how many testimonials will it take to convince you that this stuff works, Kuni?
Again, skepticism is healthy, cynicism is not.
Also, the idea that everything is broken down in the stomach, and therefore what, exactly? You think that nutrients become useless once they hit the stomach? Kind of silly thinking, I think.
Welll…it depends on whom tis giving the testimonial and whether or not they conflict with one another. That Gio (the Marketer) would say that it’s water and nothing else and is still held up to be credible…that to me is a red flag.
If the nitrients are broken down in the stomach into the constituant parts that would go on to make new “amino acids and enzymes”, then they can’t function as the injested ‘amino acids and enzymes’. Thus drinking Evolv would be akin to drinking water and eating some fruit – as far as the digestive tract is concerned.
The way around this, is to have those ‘amino acids and enzymes’ be absorbed prior to hitting the stomach (in the mouth, trachea, esophagus etc.). I don’t know how safe that is.
I’m not a cynic. I simply work from “first principles” to come to my conclusions. So far nothing I’ve been shown bridges from the first principles (of human biology and nutrition) to Evolv being an effective product without some red flag popping up.
Now if they were to explain the “pickled Liver” experiment the inventors presented to Gio, and how the liver is supposed to be pink (it’s not supposed to be you know), then I might be convinced.
To believe in marketing, is to allow your self to be unduly influenced. I’ll believe the science when I see it.
Testimonials from folks with a financial interest are not particularly convincing.
Products varying from useless to outright dangerous have been marketed using testimonials for at least two centuries. Even if you discount financial self-interest, there’s always the placebo effect to consider.
If this water had some amazing effect beyond what you expect from water and some minor nutrients, this product would have been double-blind tested and submitted for FDA approval, and then sold in drug stores like products like Boost are..
Instead, it’s being pushed via MLM marketing using testimonials from self-serving Z-list celebs, pseudo-scientific babbling, all wrapped up in a “This product has not been evaluated by the FDA. Is not intended to treat disease blah blah blah” disclaimer which renders the whole thing down to “Drink this, it’s, like, good, er something!”
I shudder to think how much waste and human suffering could have been avoided if people would simply embrace this concept:
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS.
Whoa… Griz and I agree on something…. the world is full of miracles!!! Pass me that bottle of Evolv! LOL
All of those videos amounted to about 20 minutes of absolutely nothing.
The Jay Collins (I highly doubt he’s a real doctor) video was especially telling. “My scientist friend started drinking the chemical water he made for shits and giggles. Evolv is also water, you should drink it.”
The other videos were the exact same thing, none of them actually tell you what the water does, only that you should drink it because it’s so amazing. If that doesn’t put up a massive red flag than nothing will.
Well, my red flag is that I can’t find anything on Trey White outside of connections to Evolv. And when I force google to discount any Elvov links it brings up next to nothing. Don’t know what to tell you there…
Dude, seriously? How about these:

And those were just the first four when I looked him up. ‘Trey White dallas -evolv’ is the search I used. There’s obviously more than one Trey White in the world.
BTW, as for unbiased testimony, I just sent some Evolv to a very skeptical friend of mine, and he sent me a message on facebook this morning:
Matt: Got the Evolv, Mike. Thanks! Tried a bottle and was climbing the roof! That was right after I had a cup of java, though… need to try it when I’m “sober,” so to speak.
A Story – My mom was over the other night and got up around midnight to make herself some “Sleepy Time” tea and she wisely reached for a bottle of purified water out the fridge and grabbed the Evolv instead. It must have been a great combo, that sleepy time and Evolov, ’cause she was up ALL night, pacing back and forth throughout my house and going outside and slamming the door on her van, over and over again. After about an hour or so, I was like “Mom, what is wrong with you?” She’s like “I can’t sleep.” Adding “I think that I drank some caffeinated tea.” The next morning I see and empty bottle of Evolv on the counter and I asked her if she made her tea with it and she said yes. I blurted “Are you out’a your mind?”

Matt: She really needs to read stuff before she drinks it… all she did was open and sniff the bottle’s contents to make sure that I hadn’t pee’d in it and then she thought it was safe to drink. So sad… but apparently this Evolv stuff works pretty well.
That’s my report, now have a good day.

Oh, also, and from as unbiased a source as is humanly possible… my unborn son was doing freaking backflips in my wife’s tummy when she was drinking Evolv. She had to quit drinking it so she could sleep. I don’t think there was any psychological effect going on there… lol
Congratulations on the new addition (edition?) to your household.
May he bring you and your family lots of joy, happiness…..and stinky daipers!! LOL
DUDE. We still have two in diapers now! GAH, I hope my two year old is potty trained before the new one comes… but I doubt that’ll happen. What a nightmare, three stinky-diaper makers in one house…
Back on the Evolv front, I met a guy last night who had his legs amputated and was in excruciating pain and bedridden because of it, and the medical problems that led to his amputation. To paraphrase, he said that Evolv gave him his life back, and that he was progressing in physical therapy at a rate so accelerated that his doctors and therapists are completely dumbfounded. He said that one day is like 4-6 weeks of ‘normal’ therapy acceleration.
It was pretty impressive.
Hapajap: “DUDE. We still have two in diapers now!”
In that case….
STOP DRINKING EVOLV BEFORE HEADING TO BED WITH YOUR WIFE!!
LOL
