Scott Connelly Fabricates His Education - Bunk Claims
In the 1990s Scott Connelly defrauded the public and failed to produce any promised science for his metabolic reaction, aka MET-Rx. Touting his fake credentials as a Harvard-trained nutritionist, Connelly claims that MET-Rx took him 20 years to develop. This formula (MET-Rx), he claimed, literally brought critically ill patients back to life, and supposedly over 20 hospitals used it for standard nutritional protocol, but over a period of 5 years he never substantiated the marketing claims. That is what led Lisa M. Kreiger, the Examiner Medical Writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, to write an expose entitled Miracle Food or fad? detailing Connellys lies in the MET-Rx marketing materials. Kreiger's research led her to question whether Connelly really graduated from Harvard Medical School and shows that the 20 years of Connellys alleged work amounted to zero published scientific studies on Metamyosyn or MET-Rx. Moreover, we cannot locate a single hospital that is currently using or has ever used MET-Rx with critically ill patients, including burn patients.
Scott Connelly Didn't Formulate MET-RxScott.
Connelly didnt formulate or create Metamyosyn, the made-up ingredient in MET-Rx. The formulator was actually another Connolly, Phil Connolly (norelation). Scott Connelly was introduced to Phil Connolly because he wanted to make a sports nutrition product that had a high level of glutamine to mimic what was given intravenously to burn patients. Here is the full link to an interview with the true inventor of Metamyosn, where below Phil Connolly goes on to comment that Scott Connelly doesnt even understand basic protein science:
And so when Met-Rx came along, I told Scott Connelly it's not just protein, it's not a caseinate, it's not a whey protein, it's a stand-alone on its own. It's got really good nutritional benefits, I believe, especially for sports nutrition. So Scott said, "Fine, put it in there." And so when I figured out the METAMYOSYN blend, I put that in there. Scott Connelly kept asking me, why did the Met-Rx METAMYOSYN protein blend worked so well? And he kept wanting - he said, "I need things that I can talk to people about, and I don't completely understand this."
But it doesnt end there. Vitex Foods, who also sued Connelly, was the creator and manufacturer of the MET-Rx product. It wasnt until the late nineties, after several years in business, when Connelly finally obtained the formulation from Vitex (amazing that Connelly claims to be the inventor and formulator of MET-Rx, yet he didnt even possess his own formula!). Connelly immediately breached his contract with Vitex and he ultimately lost in arbitration to Vitex. A woman by the name of Andre Armand at Vitex was the actual formulator of the product. Attached here is a signed letter from her confirming that she formulated the original MET-Rx. Also see this email from Darren Meade, where he confirms with Andree that she is the true formulator and goes on to trash Connelly as a fraud.ANDREE ARMAND AFFIDAVIT
