Who joined Herbalife? There is an old saying, “the cream always rise to the top.”

Herbalife Corporate announced yesterday that Dr. Richard H. Carmona, the 17th Surgeon General of the United States (2002-2006) was appointed to the Herbalife Board of Directors.

Everybody knows that Herbalife has been attacked by Bill Ackman lately, who tried to profit from Herbalife by first shorting it’s stock, and thereafter publicly calling Herbalife a pyramid scheme. Well, as you probably know by now, Bill Ackman was sadly mistaken, and he is losing himself and his investors a truck load of money every single day since he made that fatal, ill conceived mistake.

As a matter of fact, not only has the Herbalife stock price bounced back after Bill Ackman’s attack, but a lot of heavy weight investors have come out in support of Herbalife. Profits have been soaring ever since. On top of that, Herbalife keeps attracting the cream of the crop when it comes to it’s Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board and it’s board of directors.

If you have not joined Herbalife yet, you should perhaps have another look. Most people do and are pleasantly surprised. Herbalife is here to stay. I joined Herbalife in March of 1996!

Here is the official press release about the appointment of Dr. Carmona.

Herbalife Announces Appointment of Dr. Richard H. Carmona — 17th Surgeon General of the United States (2002-2006) — to Board of Directors

Dr. Carmona joins as an independent Director. With his appointment, Herbalife has increased the size of its Board to 12 members, 9 of whom are independent.

“As a scientist and medical professional, I was first attracted by the depth and breadth of Herbalife’s commitment to excellence in nutrition science,” said Carmona. “As a business person, my due diligence showed me a company of integrity with a good business plan. As the son of poor emigrant parents, I am elated to see the opportunities Herbalife offers to families in health-disparate and economically underserved communities.”

“Dr. Carmona has dedicated his life to improving the relationships among health, culture, education and economic status, and we are pleased to welcome him to Herbalife’s Board of Directors,” said Michael O. Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer of Herbalife. “As a Surgeon General of the United States, a distinguished professor of public health, and an experienced business leader, Richard will be a tremendous addition to our Board. We look forward to leveraging his expertise in our ongoing initiative to ensure the nutritional benefits of all Herbalife products and our continued efforts to empower our distributors around the world.”

About Dr. Richard H. Carmona

Dr. Carmona currently serves as the first Distinguished Professor of Public Health at the University of Arizona, and the first Distinguished Professor of Health Promotion and Entrepreneurship at The Ohio State University. He is President of the nonprofit Canyon Ranch Institute Board of Directors in Tucson, Arizona and vice chairman of Canyon Ranch. He serves on the boards of other public companies including The Clorox Company and Taser International, and works in leadership and advisory roles helping to create businesses in emerging science and technology.

Born to a poor Hispanic family in New York City, Dr. Carmona experienced homelessness, hunger, and health disparities during his youth. The experiences greatly sensitized him to the relationships among culture, health, education and economic status and shaped his future.

In 1967, Dr. Carmona enlisted in the U.S. Army and went on to become a combat-decorated Special Forces Vietnam veteran. After leaving active duty, he attended Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, where he received an associate’s degree. He then attended the University of California, San Francisco, where he received a bachelor’s degree (1977) and medical degree (1979).

Trained in general and vascular surgery, Dr. Carmona also completed a National Institutes of Health-sponsored fellowship in trauma, burns, and critical care. He went on to become the chairman of the State of Arizona Southern Regional Emergency Medical System, a professor of surgery, public health and family and community medicine at the University of Arizona, and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department surgeon and deputy sheriff.

In 2002, Dr. Carmona was nominated by the President and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate to become the 17th Surgeon General of the United States. Dr. Carmona was selected because of his extensive experience in public health, clinical sciences, health care management, preparedness, and his commitment to prevention as an effective means to improve public health and reduce health care costs while improving the quality and quantity of life. In 2006, Dr. Carmona successfully completed the statutory four-year term.

Dr. Carmona has published extensively and received numerous awards, decorations, and local and national recognitions for his achievements. A strong supporter of community service, he has served on community and national boards and provided leadership to many diverse organizations.
