Genie (Sumner) Urquhart, who will celebrate her 96th birthday on November 30, 2006, is a business executive and "I will always be," she  says. 

A member of the HMS Crown, Inc. Board of Directors and active investor in various alternative health businesses throughout the country, Genie's career has spanned from proprietor of a dairy to Christmas Tree Farms in Missouri to health spas in Old Mexico. In the 1930's, she was a patient in a tuberculosis asylum in California and cured herself with an alternative herbal treatment. When diagnosed with terminal cancer fifty years ago, she cured herself with a grape only diet for about a year. She is still an avid gardener and  sincerely and firmly believes that "God put us on this earth and gave us everything we need to prevent and cure disease."

"I keep on 
walking and talking
Life's Good at 95!"

Genie, who has survived medical death sentences (and most of her doctors)  for tuberculosis, cancer, and congestive heart failure,  says that at 95, she still has her own healthy hair, "mostly home-grown teeth, and real fingernails!" She says she has regularly taken  HMS Crown's Royal Formula - a multi-vitamin mineral complex, extra magnesium, and other supplements of her choice for years.

In describing her diet as a "see food" diet (she eats what she sees), Genie boasts that she no aches or pains, and until recently took no prescribed medication, and has eyes and hears without aids. She is proof that anti-aging practices do indeed work. Thanks Genie, we at HMS Crown, are looking forward to your 100th and many more.

 We take pride in announcing the induction of Genie Sumner Urquhart of Colorado into HMS Crown's Gallery of Beautiful People. At age 95, (soon to be 96) Genie is a very beautiful and active lady. She is a living proof of HMS Crown's anti aging philosophy, and has played an extensive role in the company development.

"Although my husband Terry had known Genie for many yeas, my first encounter with Genie Urquhart was receiving a package from her," says HMS Crown president Susan Turner.  "When I opened it, it was filled with raw garlic from her garden in Oklahoma. Because I knew that Genie, then in her late 80's, was healthy, youthful, spry and constantly traveling the country from Florida to Colorado to Oklahoma, I surmised that she had sent me her secret -- garlic. From that day forward, my Terry and I begin researching garlic and discovered its incredible anti aging benefits."

Genie is the adopted mother of Susan and Terry Turner, principals of HMS Crown, Inc.  "But we were not the first to claim Genie," says Susan. "Screen star Angelica Bridges of TV's Bay Watch Fame," beat us to the punch. When Angelica was a young girl in Missouri, she asked Genie to be her grandmother, a relationship that has survived the test of time."

Terry Turner, HMS Crown CEO, credits Genie and her late husband U S Naval Commander Oscar Urquhart with instilling in him the importance of alternative and natural health concepts. While working with the Urquharts at their Christmas Tree Lane plantation near Harrisonville, Missouri, Terry said he was daily exposed to their habit of taking vitamin and mineral supplements, herbal teas, and meals enriched with fresh garlic, apricot and almond seeds, bean sprouts, and similar food products that were hardly part of mainstream thinking in the early sixties. 

"I can have no doubt that Genie's  regime contributed greatly to her vitality and the youthful appearance of her skin even though she spent long days in the fields nurturing and grooming their thousands of Christmas trees," he said.

Genie still has very attractive skin, an exceedingly sharp mind, and having recently survived a rather serious heart attack is responding with her own aggressive program of exercise, some allopathic medicines, and her own unusual dietary regime of natural foods. She continues to have an interest in floral design, in which she was highly trained and for which she received numerous awards for excellence in design (particularly in connection with the Kansas City and St. Louis Flower Shows). Genie is certainly a continuing inspiration to all who know her.
