Mark Crapo,
O.M.D., D.Ac., B.S., C.A. L.Ac.
Vice President of Product Development & Training, Symmetry International"I
have used my clinical experience and knowledge of Chinese herbal supplements and Western
nutrition to produce state-of-the-art supplements for the past 15 years. I'm proud to be
working closely with Mr. Revak and the rest of the T.R.A.C. team to ensure Symmetry's
supplements lead the field. The T.R.A.C. team gives all of the members a sounding board;
we all have different areas of expertise, and the mix ensures that people get the best of
everything."
Dr. Mark Crapo earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University,
graduating Cum Laude. Later, while serving as an Air Force officer, he was diagnosed with
an incurable bowel disorder and was given less than a year to live. After visiting several
hospitals in Texas and California, Western medicine gave up on him. Traditional Chinese
medicine saved his life. He returned to school to earn a Master's degree in Acupuncture
and a Doctorate in Oriental Medicine, both times finishing in the top 5 of his class at
the prestigious California Acupuncture College. Dr. Crapo has published a number of
articles on Oriental Medicine, health, healing, herbs, and martial arts, in addition to a
college textbook on Acupuncture.
After graduation, Dr. Crapo began practice as a primary health care physician in Torrance,
California. He later moved home to Michigan and maintained a thriving practice
specializing in pediatrics, OB/GYN, pain management and drug addiction. Dr. Crapo has
taught continuing education classes for MDs, DOs, nurses, physical therapists and
acupuncturists. After 15 years, Dr. Crapo left his busy practice to join Symmetry as Vice
President of Product Development and Training. He plays an active role in formulating new
products and reformulating existing products when new nutritional or manufacturing
discoveries are made. Dr. Crapo travels around the world educating distributors about
Symmetry's fine products and the wonders of supplementation.
In Dr. Crapo's "spare" time, he studies Aikido. He holds a fifth degree black
belt in this martial art and has even produced an instructional video series on Aikido.
A few of his many honors include being listed in the Who's Who of Outstanding Americans,
being inducted into the Christian Martial Arts Hall of Fame and being presented with a
Lifetime Achievement Award. |

Frederic Vagnini,
M.D., F.A.C.S.I have spent most of my career as a heart and vascular
surgeon. I always knew the answer to heart disease was preventionthrough exercise,
diet, lifestyle changes and clinical nutrition. I joined the T.R.A.C. team because I was
extremely impressed by Symmetry's Executive Staff, especially their commitment to quality
products and continuing research." |

Susan Harrison,
M.S., R.D.As a registered dietician, I always emphasize that nothing
replaces a healthy diet. However, scientific evidence overwhelmingly confirms the benefits
of supplements in promoting long-term health and well being. I'm proud to work with a team
of professionals from varied backgrounds whose diversity guarantees Symmetry's products
reflect all the current scientific advances available." |

Donald E. Kendall,
O.M.D., Ph.D., L.Ac.I joined Symmetry's T.R.A.C. team because I feel
Symmetry has a place in everyone's life. The Standard American Diet, or the 'SAD' diet,
has excesses of calories and fat and is deficient in the perfect foods that God gives us
like fruits and vegetables. I feel that nutritional supplementation is one solution
to this problem. Changing eating habits can be difficult, and although I think everyone
should strive to eat healthy foods, many people are more willing to try nutritional
supplementation before overhauling their diet and lifestyle." |

Manuel Sanguily,
M.D."What excited me most about joining the T.R.A.C. team was the
opportunity to educate. The T.R.A.C. team gives me the forum to work with both the
American and the Hispanic communities. Being a Cuban American, I feel that the Hispanic
population, like the rest of the world, is in great need of education about health and
nutrition. The T.R.A.C. team guarantees that Symmetry's products are top-of-the-line,
allowing people to get the nutrition they need for unparalleled health." |
