Welcome to Purification and Weight Management with Standard Process Hippocrates once said, "The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well." Ignite the healing force. Standard Process offers two purification programs–use one of them to embark on a journey toward better health.

You and your health care professional should determine which of the two purification programs is right for you. By completely dedicating yourself and following all of the guidelines of your recommended program, you will maximize your results of purification and weight management. Throughout the course of your three-week program, you will learn about your body and its needs.

1

What is Purification Purification (also known as detoxification or cleansing) is the process of addressing the natural toxins in the body. The liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs, and skin are the major systems/organs that are involved in the neutralization and elimination of toxins.

Answering the following questions may give you some insight as to your current toxic load. • Do you or have you eaten processed foods? • Do you eat non-organic fruits and vegetables?

Because we are exposed to high levels of foreign substances and overconsume chemically-treated, synthetically-produced food, extra purification is needed. The Standard Process purification programs utilize whole food supplements, pure food, and water to give the body the resources it needs so that it can purify and rebuild itself naturally. Our programs place an emphasis on the liver and colon because these two organs play a major role in supporting the digestive system.* The Standard Process purification programs will help you achieve a higher level of health by cleansing the body from the inside out.

Toxins in Our Environment As a society, we face increasing amounts of challenges in our environment. We encounter substances every day from the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, including: medications, pesticides, heavy metals, fumes, synthetic materials, cigarette smoke, caffeine, preservatives, and much more. In addition to these environmental challenges, our bodies produce waste byproducts (such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and free radicals) as a result of normal metabolism that need to be eliminated. If these toxins are not neutralized and eliminated, the result is suboptimal health.

• Do you eat meat and poultry that is not free-range? • Do you consume genetically-altered food? • Do you or have you ever used artificial sweeteners? • Do you drink soda? • Do the foods you eat have preservatives, additives, dyes, or sweeteners added? • Do you eat fast foods and/or eat out regularly? • Do you charbroil or grill foods? • Do you drink coffee regularly? • Do you drink alcohol? • Do you drink tap water? If the majority of your answers are yes, then it is likely that your diet contributes significantly to your toxic load. In addition to your diet, you are also exposed to other irritants such as cigarette smoke, pollution, hair dyes, dry cleaning fluids, cosmetics, exhaust fumes, soaps, perfumes, cleaners, and drugs. This everyday exposure to these substances may have you feeling less than your best, experiencing:

Do You Have Toxins in Your Body Think for a moment of all the foods and drinks you have consumed over your lifetime. The amount could literally add up to tens of thousands of pounds.

• Weight gain

• Food cravings

Weight Management The National Institutes of Health (NIH); the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI); the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES); leading medical journals; and the media all report that Americans are overweight in epidemic proportions. How did this happen? Americans consume large portions of the wrong kinds of foods, such as refined foods and snacks loaded with sugar, instead of balanced meals that include good-quality proteins (fresh meat, poultry, and seafood), fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These poor diet choices combined with a sedentary lifestyle cause weight gain, resulting in numerous health problems. Many Americans address their weight issues by trying a quick-fix weight management program. Because these programs do not take into account the physiologic needs of the body, these dieters do not experience permanent success. In addition, many quick-fix programs are not designed to be practiced for an extended timeframe. Dieters who go on these programs become frustrated because eventually all the weight that was lost comes back. The ideal weight management program takes time. It needs to be gentle, reduce excess fat stores, be high in fiber and low in fat, increase muscle, and ensure that the amount of metabolic energy being used is greater than the amount of calories consumed. All of this needs to occur without losing muscle mass, which can be maintained by consuming vital nutrients. Once the ideal weight is reached, maintaining it requires that the amount of energy expended is equal to the energy intake. Obtaining a proper balance is key. Our bodies are like cars with a main fuel tank and a reserve tank. When one tank runs dry, the engine draws fuel from the reserve tank to meet its needs. Our bodies run in a similar fashion. Say for instance, a person walks on a treadmill for 20-30 minutes. During this time, they have burned off their main fuel–the sugar in their blood, liver, and muscles. Once that fuel is depleted, their body should turn to fat (the reserve fuel tank) for additional energy. 4

Healthy liver function supports the body in burning fat for energy. The nutrients and dietary recommendations in the Standard Process purification programs revolve around feeding the body the nutrients it needs to support optimal liver function. In addition to its role in fat burning, the liver also synthesizes fatty acids from amino acids and sugars and assists in producing lipoproteins, cholesterol, and phospholipids. The liver makes a substance called glucose tolerance factor (GTF) from chromium and glutathione. GTF partners with the body's natural insulin to regulate and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The liver converts any sugars that are not required for immediate energy needs into glycogen and fat. Glycogen is stored both in the liver and in muscle tissue. The fat is deposited in undesirable areas.

Apply the Fundamentals Incorporating proper eating choices and activity habits into your lifestyle are the only ways to maintain a healthy weight. • Determine your desired weight • Follow your recommended program • Get plenty of exercise By following these three simple steps, you will be able to properly manage your weight. Once you reach your desired weight, you can incorporate some foods not listed in your program back into your diet–sparingly. Do not expect instantaneous success–you did not wake up one morning instantly overweight, so it will take time to lose the unwanted pounds. Follow the Standard Process purification program recommended by your health care professional; and you will achieve effective, gentle, sustained weight management.

The Standard Process Purification Programs At Standard Process, we realize that every person is in a different place in his or her level of personal fitness and each person has different goals. That is why we provide you with two different programs to choose from. By working together, you and your health care professional should determine which program is best for you. It does not matter which program you choose; what is important is that for three weeks you follow the program in its entirety.

What to Expect During Purification As you progress through your recommended purification program, you may experience some changes. As always, please talk with your health care professional if you have questions about how you feel or what you are experiencing. Some Benefits of Completing the Standard Process Purification Program Many people who complete the purification program experience:

Other Changes • For some people going through the purification program, the frequency and quantity of urination increases. This is a normal reaction as the body begins to burn fat and natural insulin levels drop. This will level out after a few days. • Some people also notice an increase in the quantity of bowel movements. This too is normal. Most people today have forgotten what a complete bowel movement entails. • In rare instances, some people experience a throbbing sensation in the head, generalized aches, itchy skin, or fatigue. These are normal occurrences as the body detoxifies and will pass after a day or two.* What Purification Means for You Upon the completion of your recommended program, you will have a different mindset about food, your body, and your health. You may experience some or all of the following: • Increased energy/vitality

• Increased energy

• Improved health

• Better digestion

• Weight reduction

• Less bloating

• Improved digestion

• Clearer skin

• Improved physical appearance

• Shinier hair

• Removal of food addictions

• Disappearance or lessening of past conditions (PMS, digestive problems, etc.)

• Clearer thinking

Purification programs can have a significant, positive effect on the biochemistry of the body while allowing harmful toxins and by-products of daily metabolism to be eliminated.*

• Improved elimination*

Purification Products While participating in one of the Standard Process purification programs, your health care professional will recommend that you take the following Standard Process products: SP Cleanse®, SP Complete™, Gastro-Fiber®, and SP Green Food™.

SP Cleanse® SP Cleanse enlists the detoxifying properties of 20 different whole foods and botanicals in this vegetarian nutritional supplement. The phytonutrients from these multiple ingredients help the body eliminate toxins that originate in the environment, as well as metabolic toxins that are given off internally. The vitamin complexes, minerals, and phytonutrients in SP Cleanse support the body's internal waste-removal systems by:

before meals, a supplement shake made with SP Complete provides essential vitamins and minerals to the body during purification. In addition, SP Complete can be used outside of the purification program to replace vital nutrients often lost during the refining process of many of the foods we buy.*

Gastro-Fiber® Dietary fiber comes from the cellular walls of plants and has specific effects on different areas of gastrointestinal function. Gastro-Fiber contains phytonutrients from psyllium, collinsonia root, apple pectin, fennel seed, and fenugreek seed. These whole-food sources function synergistically to: • Help cleanse and lubricate the intestines • Encourage regular elimination • Promote pH balance throughout the gastrointestinal tract

• Maintaining healthy liver detoxification function • Encouraging healthy kidney function

• Provide an optimal environment for the natural growth of "friendly" intestinal bacteria*

• Promoting efficient gastrointestinal elimination • Supporting lymphatic system function • Helping maintain healthy blood*

SP Complete™ SP Complete mixes with water and fruit or vegetables to make a nutritious supplement shake–completely portable for today's busy schedules. It offers a balance of essential macro- and micronutrients from plant sources in a highly bioavailable form. The natural whole food ingredients used to formulate SP Complete deliver powerful antioxidant protection to promote cellular health and support healthy cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous system function. Whether taken alone or

8

SP Green Food™ SP Green Food is made up of five organically-grown whole food concentrates: Brussels sprouts, kale, alfalfa, buckwheat, and barley grass. In addition to their natural bioavailability, these foods contain vitamins, minerals, and other unknown synergistic cofactors. Brussels sprouts and kale help maintain cellular health by supplying nutrients that work to detoxify the liver. The phytonutrients in these two green vegetables help protect many of our major organs. Nutrients found in Brussels sprouts and kale promote enzymatic activity required to help detoxify the liver. They also stimulate the natural process designed to clear damaged cells from the body.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.

Incorporating more vegetables in your diet can help keep your body functioning properly.*
