The Purification Finale
This week marks the end of the Standard Process Purification
Program. We only had a few causalities,
but they will resume in January with the next group. I really don’t give anyone a chance for an
excuse to not do the program. And the
participants who tried to excuse themselves from the program were grateful for
the push to continue and finish. It
gives me so much joy to watch the growth of the group as they successfully
complete each week. Many had no clue how
dangerous sugar and trans fats are to the body or how to even determine that
these substances were in the foods they previously had been consuming. Those “ah-ha” moments are fun to watch as a
teacher. And as Maya Angelou said, “When
you know better, you have to do better”.
Each week information was given to create health and wellness for the
future of each participant. I feel it is
an important approach to their success.
As chiropractic physicians, we are really the pioneers for
nutrition. We understand that most
chronic disease has a root problem. We
are already in the position to promote wellness and good health thru eating
foods that are nutrition rich and fiber dense.
The Standard Process Purification Program is the perfect opportunity to
present this concept to patients. This
21 day program helps to make the one degree of change that will affect each
participant for the rest of his/her life.
More importantly the affect spreads to their families, friends and
co-workers. I have overheard the
discussion of many of the participants in the waiting room of my office,
sharing their new found knowledge and recommending the Purification Program to
unsuspecting patients. And the tales
told by others about how they cleaned out the refrigerator of all High Fructose
Corn Syrup products, engaging the whole family into making a change. Still others, who were initially shocked
about how much sugar is in the foods in their cabinets at home, drastically
ridding their homes of sugar laden products.
I always ask participants to tell me what their “one degree
of change” will be or how the program affected them for the future. It makes my heart all warm and fuzzy when
they tell me what those things are and how life changing the program was for
them. It fulfills my mission statement
of getting my patients well and keeping them healthy.
Patient C
Week Four of My Journey
Here are some testimonials from this group that you have followed:
Patient C
Week Four of My Journey
There was a bittersweet energy as we gathered for our last
weigh-in and meeting. I was excited
about all my accomplishments, yet sad that I wouldn’t have the weekly
accountability or community. My final
result for the twenty-one days was a nine pound loss and a three percent
decrease in my body fat. But my biggest
accomplishment was giving up coffee. I
never thought I would be able to or would even want to. Remember, I enjoyed coffee so much, I drank
it black. I would even go as far as to
say I had an addiction. It feels great to be free of it, not to mention the
side effects of sound sleep and morning energy!
During this class we learned how to transition properly into
our new norm. We learned the order of
how to re-introduce items such as grains, dairy, and nuts into our diets. Dr. B explained to us the difference between
an allergic reaction and intolerance.
Which I got to experience personally when I decided to eat grains, as I
had an immediate reaction. I always knew
that I didn’t really want to eat grains, but now that my body is clean I am
clear as to why I don’t want to.
We also discussed the importance of supplemental support
post-detox. What to take, where to get
it, and why. Most over-the- counter
vitamins and supplements are fractionated, contain synthetic ingredients, and a
lot of fish oil supplements are rancid.
We learned many things over the 21 days, but the most
important lessons I learned are that I am stronger than I thought, that I can
accomplish anything I put my mind to, and things aren’t as hard as they
sometimes appear. At the time I agreed
to participate in this program, I was in the middle of a life crisis and
depressed. I kept coming up with reasons
not to do the program and Dr. B stood firm that as “exactly why I needed
it.” Although I couldn’t see it on day
one, I can now tell you she was exactly right!
My depression has lifted, my thoughts are clear, I have more energy, and
for the first time in years I am excited about life! Thank you Dr. B for not only helping me get
my life back, but get the one I’ve
dreamed of - a healthy lifestyle that has me in integrity with my life purpose.
Here are some testimonials from this group that you have followed:
"Who
knew processed food and regular decaf coffee and diet soft drinks were
so bad? I had even been following a diet given to patients at a
nationwide medical weight loss center! Dr. B. read over their diet plan
and saw it was mostly food that turned quickly
into sugar with only a small bit of protein. With just 21 days on
Standard Process Detox I got a healthier body and mind. I don't stress
eat junk food. People notice I look thinner which is also way cool.
Sipping red wine during dinner instead of guzzling huge glasses of ice
water during my evening meal is a real treat." L.G.
"I did this as a reboot... I was doing well ,eating healthy ,and exercising on a regular basis for quite awhile and then I just feel off the wagon may of this year and instantly I began to feel tired all the time and just felt like crap and eating very unhealthy so when I heard about this detox/cleanse it was boost/kick in the butt I needed to get back on track... I experienced more energy weight loss and what was a great bonus for me clearer skin ... I had my doubt's at first but so glad I did this!!!" C.R.
"As a direct result of the liver purification program, I am sleeping better than I have slept in years! No melatonin needed anymore. Sleeping better has led to me an overall sense of feeling better.
I had no idea the "healthy" food I was eating was making me so bloated until those foods were removed during the program. My husband and I plan on keeping to the recommended foods after the program is complete....with the "occasional" added treat of course. We miss pizza and pasta but have found very creative and delicious ways to substitute vegetables for the starchy parts.
Our new BFF - "The Spiralizer"!
I am VERY HAPPY to report we have both lost over 7 pound as the "side effect". We plan on doing this cleanse twice a year. I knew my body could feel better, I just wasn't sure what it needed. With the help of Baystreet Wellness, we now have a complete plan....and it's working!! Thank you Dr. B for sharing your knowledge. A 1% change really does make a difference!" A. & D.R.
"The detox program was definitely a success for me! Not only do I feel more energy, I lost 8 pounds that I have been trying to shed for over a half of year. I started on the new vitamin supplement today and feel great!! Love that is all natural! Thank you for the new nutrition information. I learned so much and want to continue learning for myself, family and patients!!" DR. K.S.
"Well,
it's the last day of my 21 day detox. I did it. I can't believe I did
it! I wasn't perfect, but I did really well. I lost 10 pounds
and feel really good. I feel lighter, healthier. I can wear clothes
that i haven't worn in a long time.
I learned a lot about eating healthier and Scott and I have been more
invested in what we eat and when. Due to our weight loss and how good
we feel, we are both motivated to keep up with our new healthier eating
habits. It wasn't always easy. There were times when I wanted a
Mellow Mushroom Pizza really BAD. Surprisingly, it wasn't the sugar
that I craved (which I always thought I was addicted to) as much as the
snack foods like salsa and chips, guacamole and chips, mixed nuts. Oh,
and the ice cream. I really, really wanted some Ben & Jerry's -
BAD. We can't wait to have a glass of wine.
And I look forward to having some of those foods that I love, but now I
have really healthy recipes, thanks to Dr. Besuden, that I can make
myself with fresh, organic ingredients. I know now how satisfying a
meal with just vegetables can be. In the beginning, I thought taking so
many capsules a day was going to be awful, but it really wasn't. We
just got used to it. I also felt I had a lot of support from Dr.
Besuden between the classes and the Facebook pages, and being able to
contact her via email. I'm really glad I did it." S.H.
