- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

In January 2001, Dr. Robert O. Young and his wife, Shelley R. Young, (the “Youngs”) sold a company they founded and operated for many years, Innerlight International, Inc. It was sold to Darius International, Inc. (“Darius/Innerlight”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Quigley Corporation. As a part of the sale, the Youngs transferred ownership of a number of nutritional and dietary supplement products which the Youngs formulated, tested and strongly approved (e.g., SuperGreens, Prime pH, and others).

In connection with the sale, the Youngs agreed to a Non-Competition Agreement and a Consulting Agreement. Darius/Innerlight was permitted to use the Youngs’ names in association with the sale of the products which the Youngs formulated and sold to Darius/Innerlight.

Almost from the beginning, problems arose between the Youngs and Darius/Innerlight. Among other things, the Youngs grew increasingly concerned that the new owners of Innerlight were not adhering to the Youngs’ product formulations and philosophy.

In an effort to protect their reputations and the health of those who had come to trust their judgment and their science of The New Biology, the Youngs attempted to renegotiate the agreements with Darius/Innerlight but to no avail.

When the Youngs brought out a new professional line of products, Darius/Innerlight filed suit against the Youngs in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the Youngs counter-sued. The case went to trial in 2006. The Court issued its Memorandum and Order on April 23, 2008. In that Order, the Court ruled in the Youngs’ favor on certain issues.

First, the Youngs will be permitted to endorse, market, develop, and sell any and all nutritional and dietary supplement products in 2011…just 2 1/2 years from now;

Second, the Court ruled that several products in the professional line were not competitive with Innerlight, and could be marketed by the Youngs.

Third, the Court ordered that the Youngs were entitled to sell new nutritional and dietary supplement products and besides the professional line products mentioned above (except for products which directly compete with the products they sold to Darius/Innerlight back in 2001);

Fourth, the Youngs are free to go forward with their new product lines, applying the science of The New Biology to the areas of Weight Loss and Anti-Aging, among others; and

Fifth, Darius/Innerlight may not use the Youngs’ likenesses in any way other than in conjunction with products or sales aids which were conveyed to Darius under the Agreements.

The Youngs are delighted that the Court recognized their right to formulate and promote some of the professional line products as well as their new products under their own names and brands. The Youngs recently formed Young pHorever, Inc., a company focused on formulating and selling Weight Loss and Anti-Aging products.

The Court, however, ruled against the Youngs on other issues. The court awarded damages and attorneys' fees to Darius/Innerlight on certain claims, and allowed Darius/Innerlight to continue using Dr. Young's name in association with the sale of specific products sold to Darius/Innerlight in 2001. The Court also ordered the Youngs not to sell, until 2011, certain products they formulated and sold to Darius/Innerlight; and ordered Dr. Young to consult with Darius/Innerlight through 2011. The Court ordered that, if requested by Darius/Innerlight, Dr. Young must attend a number of Innerlight meetings and conventions and conduct seminars on his science of The New Biology.

The Youngs feel that the Court erred in its Order by: (a) granting damages and attorneys’ fees to Darius/Innerlight; (b) allowing Innerlight to continue to use the Youngs' names in association with the sales of products that were reformulated; (c) prohibiting the Youngs from selling certain products until 2011; and (d) requiring Dr. Young to continue to consult with Darius/Innerlight, and to attend meetings and seminars.

The Youngs remain committed to controlling the use of their names and reputation. The Youngs plan to continue their fight against Darius/Innerlight in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals at the earliest opportunity. They feel confident that the appellate court will overrule much of the trial court’s ruling and reduce the damages awards.

In furtherance of their continued struggle with Innerlight and their Third Circuit appeal, the Youngs have established a Legal Defense Fund, accessible through their web site located at: http://www.pHMiracleLiving.com.
