I'm just wild about Standard Process. How many of you take some kind of vitamin, herbal, or nutritional supplement on a daily basis? This is remarkable, isn't it? This is not surprising because in 1997 4 out of 10 Americans used some kind of complementary and alternative medicine Money spent on herbal therapies, vitamins, and diet products totalled more than the $9.1 billion spent out of pocket for all hospitalizations in 1997.
I've spent years studying and practicing macrobiotics. It's a discipline using diet and oriental principles for natural health and happiness. I taught macrobiotics, I taught cooking, (would you believe?) J and tried to get my patients to practice it. It was tough. A hard sell. Like trying to convince the mafia to give up their guns.J Well, it's been tough since I've been married again (I don't mean my marriage, we can go into that some other time), J I meant trying to eat good has been tough, because I haven't done much cooking for myself -- grandma does it. I still try to eat healthy with what I have, but it is really enough?
I don't think so. The statistics agree with me. And that's why I want to share Standard Process with you. It's the closest thing to quality food in a pill. I?m going to tell you why whole food concentrates work better than your usual vitamin and nutritional supplements; I?m going to show you how they make high quality products, and I?m going tell you how easy it is to figure out what you need to take.
Standard Process beats their competition because they use whole foods. For a long time, I was the last person to believe in vitamins or supplements. Whole foods were it; they have all the vitamins and minerals you need. Nature through it's wonderous intelligence knows just what to put together for you. There's a synergy that happens with whole foods that you don't get with the single vitamin or nutrient approach. Synergy means that you get more than 2 out of 1 plus 1. Take all the parts that make up a car. If you lay those parts out, you can't make the horn sound, you can't turn on the engine and you can't get the wheels to roll. But if you put the right parts together, things go. This is what whole foods convey to your nutrition.
Vitamin C is a good example of this. Vitamin C is better utilized when it is combined with bioflavonoids. It so happens that the bioflavonoids are found in the white rind of the orange. So instead of just drinking orange juice, or just taking vitamin C, you should eat some of the rind in your orange to optimize your nutrition.
To give you an idea of what Standard Process does, let me describe it's formula of vitamin C, they call it Cataplex C. Cataplex C contains bioflavonoids and rutin to help with blood vessel health. It also contains Vitamin K which promotes the clotting of blood. It also contains vitamin J which helps with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Oh, they're pioneers, they just do vitamin alphabet soup.J Cataplex C also contains tyrosinase, an organic copper and an adrenal activator. They claim that products containing the most tyrosinase really are the ones that produce the best clinical results. So how do they make this combination of nutrients? They make their Cataplex C by removing the water and fiber from raw, whole foods -- we're talking about alfalfa, mushrooms, bone marrow, and buckwheat leaf. Now doesn't that sound delicious? J So in a 500 mg tablet of Cataplex C, it contains 5 mg of ascorbic acid, or 1% of ascorbic acid by weight. This is the same percentage of natural ascorbic acid that you would find in any vitamin C-rich foods, including rose hips. So you see that Standard Process is not trying to dictate the proportions that you find in your pill. Instead it allows nature and whole foods to set the proper proportions of nutrients.
The quality of the products made by Standard Process comes from a history of being in business for over 70 years. It's founder, Dr. Royal Lee started off his company with his first supplement called Catalyn a combination of 12 raw foods in a pill. Yummy! J Now the Standard Process company has been handed down through three generations of family members. They grow all their own ingredients in organic farms in Wisconsin. They derive their products through a low temperature drying process with high vacuums to avoid breakdown of nutrients. Their separation and extraction process is patented to insure a quality product. Their belief is that potency of a formula is related to quality and not quantity. You can see this easily in their Cataplex C which only has 5 mg of vitamin C as compared to the usual formulas that contain 100 mgs. and up. Each product at Standard Process is tested 6-8 times in the manufacturing process to insure purity and potency.
Standard Process has established an easy way for you to start using their products. They've put together a Symptom Survey. I'm handing out a copy of it to all of you. All you have to do is fill this out and I will be able to tell you the products that will help to rejuvenate your nutrition. You are, of course, not at all obligated to fill out this questionnaire. Just be aware that I have syndicate connections. J But I do urge you to fill it out if you fall into any of the following situations. If you or a loved one is tired of putting up with a chronic health condition and wants to get over it once and for all, then Standard Process has some answers. If you or a loved one regularly take some kind of medication and want to build up your body so that you may not need to take medication anymore, then Standard Process may help. As their products are only available through health practitioners like myself, I am willing to offer these products at cost, just because you're part of my Toastmasters group. What a deal!J
Today I have tried to show you that when we're not sure we are eating a balanced diet, the next best thing can be whole food concentrates. Standard Process is the pioneer of whole foods in a pill. They are backed by experience and principles to create quality products. The opportunity is available to all of you now. Join me in a promising adventure toward health. Add Standard Product to your health program. I'm wild about it!
