Re: Re: Standard Process [and Vitamin C]

[Guest guest]

For those of us in medicine who operate ethically, the fantasy of being able

to refer to a pharmacy is appealing. No such animal exists for high quality

supplements, I'm afraid. .. though for a time there I enjoyed writing

'scripts to one in Santa Fe when I practiced there. Here I'm stuck stocking

my own pharmacy and probably err to underselling what's appropriate rather

than over selling just to be hypercautious. I'd much prefer to have things

available locally other than my clinic someday.

As for standardprocess: they're available at the Gaia Herb Conference at

Black Mountain, NC. I confess I'm not sure where you'd get them otherwise.

Dang, some practitioner should be OK providing you w/Vitamin C w/o a consult.

It certainly would'n't bother me to do so.

All the best,

Ken

professional. I question the trend of doctors selling supplements because it

may

interfere with their unbiased judgement. I saw an 'alternative' doctor once

who charged

$300/hour and sold expensive supplements (not Standard Process) on top of

that.

Having just run up an exorbitant doctor's bill for the consultation, you want

to take her

advice, and end up dishing out for the supplements as well.

A while back I posted and got no response -- does anyone have any comments

about

Emergen-C, those packets from Alacer Corp.? You add water to the powder and

it

fizzes. I feel good after drinking it, but I have no idea how it's made.

What kinds of problems? I have just recently started taking adrenal

supplements, because I have allergies and numerous other signs of adrenal

deficiency, and they contain raw pastured adrenal and spleen glandulars.

What kinds of problems should I look out for, in your opinion?

Thanks,

Chris

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "
