Qivana Review – Is Qivana an Opportunity Or a Scam?
Qivana is a health and wellness company that provides products designed to help people develop better health.
Qivana Review – The Pros and Cons of Qivana
Qivana is a new MLM opportunity in Health and Wellness. The company claims to be unique because of their systematic approach to physical improvement that was developed by Dr. Marcus Laux in conjunction with the founders. The founders are Derek Hall, Rodney James, Devin Glazier, Justin Banner, and Craig Johanson.
The Qivana systematic approach to wellness includes 3 steps:
1) Stabilize/Qore/Probiotic- Help replenish healthy bacteria to the intestinal tract.
2) Vitalize/Qore/Essentials- Energize the body with asian herbs such as Gynostemma pentaphyllum and Chinese Skullcap.
3) Optimize/Qore/Detox- A blend of products to rid your body of heavy metals, free radicals, and toxins.
The Product Creator
Dr. Marcus Laux is a naturopathic physician who earned is doctorate at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Laux has 15 years of private family practice and he has spent significant time searching for natural therapies that provided by nature in Central American, Siberia, and more.
The Pros to Joining as an Independent Business Owner
1) The company is new and that automatically brings excitement. Whether true or not, the perception is that somehow it is easier to get rich when you get involved in a ground floor opportunity. The initial excitement can carry the company for some time as long as they produce results with the product and overcome growing pains.
2) Health and wellness is growing rapidly. Paul Zane Pilzer discusses the trillion dollars that will shift from the health care industry to the preventative industry in several of his books.
3) The income potential can surge at an unbelievable pace if the company comes through on their promises.
The Cons of Joining as an Independent Business Owner
1) New companies come with growing pains. Expect potential product delays, placement issues with new team members, lost orders, late checks, and changes you may not agree with.
2) The product creation and Scientific Advisory Board lies primarily in the hands of one man, Dr. Marcus Laux. Although his resume is extensive he is only one man. Where are the checks and balances in the system? The company website mentions other doctors and researchers but their names are not listed.
3) The company website leads with dreams of being financially independent that we often hear in Network Marketing. As of March 24, 2009 the first item listed on the Qivana website is the company overview. In this overview there is not one sentence dedicated to the product. A long term sustainable business model requires a good product that delivers.
4) Unfortunately the company and leadership rely primarily on the belly to belly approach. Most home business entrepreneurs today want to benefit from online MLM advantages.
Conclusion
I would consider taking the products and joining as an Independent Business Owner once I determined the product worked for me. Dr. Marcus Laux appears to have a legitimate set of products and the leadership has experience that may benefit everyone involved. Most of the concerns listed in this Qivana review may be addressed in the future.

Qivana – Dr Marcus Laux Finally Settles on Qivana
Qivana is a relatively new MLM company started in early two thousand and nine. They entered the health and wellness arena with a different perspective than most health related MLM companies. Qivana approaches health with the objective of detoxing and cleansing the body first, then administering Chinese herbs and minerals.
Qivana appointed well known naturopathic physician, Dr Marcus Laux as its chief Science Officer, while putting together a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of world renowned doctors and scientists.
Dr. Marcus Laux had an objective early on in his career to be a conventional M.D., but in 1986 when a cardiologist, who made a fatal decision with the treatment of his Dad, Dr. Laux knew that conventional medicine would not be his forte.
Shortly thereafter, while in pre-med, his observations of the use of chemicals in hospitals and money hungry doctors, simply reinforced his thought process, so he decided to be a doctor of naturopathic medicine. Dr. Laux learned early on that naturopathic medicine is by far the safest, most comprehensive natural approach to practicing medicine in humans.
After spending ten yrs. in college & med school, fifteen yrs. in private practice & over twenty yrs. of research, Dr Laux came to this conclusion, because naturopathic medicine searches past the symptoms only, and looks to sources of problems instead.
Qivana was very lucky to get Dr. Laux, but since the company philosophy was also based on promoting balance, detoxing and strength, first and foremost, this was a match made in heaven. Dr. Laux had been engaged with several other great companies, but Qivana had the potential to be so much more, he thought.
Dr Marcus Laux has an extensive resume including:
Doctorate: Nat’l College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Or. (1985)
Private Practice: FT practice in Beverly Hills and Malibu, Ca. 19yrs
Asst. Adjunct Professor: Emperors College of Traditional Oriental Medicine (Ca)
Adjunct Faculty Member: Bastyr University of Naturopathic Health (Wa)
Scientific Advisor Boards: Enzymatic Therapy, EuroPharma, and McZand.
Chairman of Scientific & Strategic Advisory Board: Unigen Pharmaceuticals
Launched New Supplement innovations: Nature’s Way, Cognis (Henkel), Integrative Therapeutics & Toyo Bio-Pharma
Dr. Laux actually is responsible for coining the term “bio identical” in the hormone world with his book, Natural Woman, Natural Menopause (Harper Collins), which alone is responsible for improving the lives of women all around the world.
For 30 years, Dr. Laux has taken the lead in educating people in the natural products industry. He has continued to provide cutting edge education to pharmacists around the world for over twenty yrs.
Qivana with its own cutting edge product line should be a good fit for Dr. Laux. “I have been working with natural products for yrs and when I came across Qivana, I knew I had found something special”, stated Dr. Laux.
