A SIde order fof Supplements

Over the years, many of you have taken advantage of the supplements I recommend to you.  While I enjoy sharing all the latest information I have learned, when I make a recommendation that you use or buy a certain supplement, it is based on my research and understanding of Whole Food Supplements.  While you are certainly free to purchase items at the herb shop or Walmart, I am not basing my recommendations on those products, and have no idea if they will work.

Whole Food Supplements are made from food ingredients grown by the company from which I buy the supplements.  They are not mega doses, but placed in the tablet or capsule in a form that makes them readily available to be used by your body.  This is called bioavailability.  The different supplements made by the company Standard Process are put together in such a way that they are bioavailable to your body.  They are also put together in certain formulations to support the process that your body uses to stay healthy.

For example, Antronex, a supplement which I sell regularly to help individuals who might have a sinus problem or a cold, is actually a liver extract that increases the bodies’ natural detoxification processes. It is not, as many of them think a "natural decongestant".  But I understand their confusion, as many patients have been  helped by this supplement when traditional over the counter and even prescriptions have failed.  This is because all drugs deplete the body or change its processes, in some way.  Whole food supplements add nutrients to the body and let the innate wisdom of the body do the rest.

Patrick Quillan, PhD, said it best in the American Journal of Natural Medicine September 2002:
“The assumption that human technology could improve on the wisdom of Nature (God) has become a primary course of disease in the modern world.  We dissect food, take out the most glaringly obvious  parts, attempt to recreate them in a laboratory, and label them as ‘active ingredients’. In fact it is the symphony of nutrients working synergistically that provides the quantum healing power of whole foods.”

According to Judith De Cava a Nutritionist and Author of The Real Truth About Vitamins and Antioxidants:
Nature does not produce vitamins, minerals, trace minerals or any other food components in concentrated or segregated forms, but merges and blends them – synchronizes them – for the body’s needs.  The idea that “ if a little is good, more is better” leads to ingestion of mega does of “high potency”, refined, separated “nutrients”, dismantled, disassembled, or artificially manufactured chemical supplements.  This will ‘work’ for a short time . . .  Eventually, this method backfires and causes complications, (and) imbalances. . .  Such supplements do not contribute to health, they only disrupt it.  Balance and function – not quantity – are the keys.”

So when I recommend you take a certain product, and you decide you will look for it cheaper elsewhere, ask yourself if your health is worth the trade off.  

Why Do I Use Standard Process supplements?

Because the products are made from food, not synthetic chemicals.
Because the chiropractic nutritional researchers I rely on have themselves relied on Standard Process.
Because in a world where companies come and go, Standard Process has been around since 1929.
Because Dr. Royal Lee, was so far ahead of his time, he is only being proved right today in some of his theories.
