FM2020, has brought up an interesting question. So I will simply ask here:

It appears that you used to take Lonvgevinex, however you have now switched to something else and appear to hate the Longevinex product now, and maybe have considered suing Bill Sardi or the "Resveratrol Partners" company at one point in the past. If this assumption is in fact is correct…

(I know this is probably never going to be answered) but I do have to ask: What happened that caused this issue? I know Capsugel had a fall out with Bill Sardi (I spoke with people there so I know), and his only partner left him as well… it must have been quite a shake up or disagreement as it appears everyone decided to run away from Bill and his Longevinex product Maybe Bill was busy burning bridges for some other reason?

Bill's website was even taken down "http://www.knowledgeofhealth.com/" for reasons I assume were related to the advice once found there (he used to give a lot of advice about cancer I believe, which no supplement company really can do without getting into trouble).

And I have noticed that Bill has started to write much more articles not related to resveratrol, while google shows interest for his product has dropped. Bill was trained as a Journalist in school, so an increase in articles Lewrockwell may signify that he is going back to doing what he loves. I think he maybe working there, doing stories on interesting topics instead of selling resveratrol: http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/.

I don't fault him for doing what he loves and hope he feels less stressed. Maybe he just got sick of free resveratrol scams, and doctor's switching their patients to using his competitor's products (I know this happened on at least one occasion), or simply needed a less stressful life. I can only guess at the reasons he concentrates on his articles at this time.

Lately he has been getting away from talking about his Longevinex product, and focusing on Vitamin D instead. He has spent resources on his new website http://www.thevitamindstore.com/ which has nothing to do with resveratrol but sells everyone else's products, and of course Life Span Nutrition in San Dimas, where he lives http://www.lifespannutrition.com/. When you search these sites you will notice that he doesn't even sell his own longevinex product. The only resveratrol product shown on his websites is something called the "Mediterranean Diet Resveratrol Formula" and not his Longevinex capsules. That product only has 5mg of resveratrol from polygonum, while the price is $46.95 (Link) or $42.25 if you buy it from Bill's website. The price (and info regarding what he is selling on his own websites), says a lot in my book regarding the issues he maybe facing.

It certainly possible that he is slowly walking away from Longevinex himself, as many more cheaper and better variety of products have surfaced.

I am interested in your view on this, if you ever get a chance to let us know.

(P.S. Excuse the typos guys, just trying to explain my personal opinion about a lot of things, in a little post…)
