Trademark Statement
Since my graduation from chiropractic college in 1983, I have performed considerable research and have lectured extensively on the subjects of health, diet, and athletics to tens of thousands of people in the United States and around the world. The essence of my life’s work has been summed up in the related phrases 80/10/10 and 80/10/10RV, and their corresponding shorthand 811 and 811RV. While 80/10/10 originally referred to a nutritional ratio, followers of my work know that it has come to mean much more. Over the decades, I have strived to imbue the 80/10/10 concept with the additional meanings of adequate sleep, exercise, positive outlook on life, and many other health-promoting factors. As a result, I am formally asserting trademark rights to 80/10/10, 80/10/10RV, 811, and 811RV in order to maintain the high standards they have come to represent in the public mind and to protect the public’s association of these concepts with me and my work. I hope everyone in the health/nutrition field will honor and respect these marks, using them only when licensed or authorized or, if without specific authorization, with proper acknowledgment and notice in accordance with law and custom.
