 At Las Colinas Pharmacy Compounding and Wellness Center, we utilize the 21-Day Purification and Weight-Loss Program developed by Standard Process in 2003.  Standard Process is committed to providing the highest quality training and nutritional support for healthcare professionals.  They present the latest research and scientific advances in the field of Clinical Nutrition.  They provide healthcare professionals with the education necessary to apply the fundamentals of physiology and biochemistry to address the underlying imbalances that contribute to symptoms and progression of disease states, and provide simple, effective ways to support normal function of the body and organ systems.  Standard Process provides valuable information regarding the integration of nutritional support relevant to a wide variety of topics and issues, including Metabolic Detoxification; Weight Loss; Sleep Disorders; Stress Management; Chronic Fatigue; Cardiovascular Health; Endocrine Disorders; Men’s and Women’s Health; Digestive Health; Childhood Disorders; Pre and Post Natal Care; Geriatrics; and many more.  Emphasis is place on the importance of concentrated whole foods and quality herbs.  Standard Process is devoted to educating healthcare professionals on how to improve patient outcomes by providing the safest, most effective and highest quality nutritional supplements.

            The 21-Day Standard Process Purification and Weight-Loss Program utilizes whole food supplements; whole, organic, and unprocessed food; healthy fats; and water to cleanse the body so you can have more energy, maintain a healthy weight, and improve digestion.  Purification is simply the internal cleansing and detoxification of your body.  Purifying offers individuals a way to enjoy the best their body has to offer.

            During the program, individuals will consume fruits and vegetables on days 1-10, with select proteins added on days 11-21.  The program allows an unlimited amount of low-glycemic vegetables, preferably organic, and half of which should be raw.  Vegetable intake should be twice the amount of fruit intake.  Fresh herbs and spices are optional, but encouraged.  In addition, the following supplements are included:

• SP Cleanse to help support the body’s organs of detoxification (Days 1-7).
• SP Complete nutritious supplement shake which delivers powerful antioxidant protection to support liver detoxification and immune function.  These shakes provide amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals (Days 1-21).
• Whole Food Fiber or Gastro Fiber to support healthy elimination (Days 1-21).
• SP Green Food which contains five organically grown whole food concentrates (Days 8-21).

During the program, individuals will avoid:

• Alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and other stimulants
• Nuts and seeds
• Legumes, other than 1 cup of lentils each day
• Dairy
• Grains
• Processed or refined foods

            Purification, also known as detoxification, can aid in the removal of natural toxins from the body and help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight.  We are exposed daily to external toxins, including chemicals, pesticides, and pollutants.  Our bodies also produce internal waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function.   The body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, however it can become overburdened.  Purification provides the additional support needed by the body to expel natural toxins and minimize weight, which is important to maintaining health and vitality.

            A toxic load from both external and internal toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions.  Some of these include:

• Stuffy head and allergies
• Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
• Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
• Food cravings and weight gain
• Reduced mental clarity
• Decreased libido
• Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides

            The body must process these toxins.  The following diet and lifestyle habits contribute significantly to the toxic load of an individual:

• Eating processed foods
• Eating non-organic fruits and vegetables
• Consuming meat and poultry that are not free range
• Consuming genetically altered foods
• Use of artificial sweeteners
• Drinking sodas
• Eating food with preservatives, additives, dyes, and added sweeteners
• Eating fast food and/or dining out regularly
• Consuming grilled or charbroiled foods
• Regularly drinking coffee
• Consuming alcohol
• Drinking tap water
• Using perfume
• Using harsh cleansers and other household chemical

            A supervised purification program that is monitored by a qualified healthcare professional can have a significant, positive impact on the biochemistry of the body by allowing natural toxins and byproducts of daily metabolism to be eliminated.  After successfully completing the program, many of our clients at Las Colinas Pharmacy Compounding and Wellness Center have noticed:

• Improved weight management results
•  Increased energy and vitality
• Improved digestion and less bloating
• Clearer skin
• Shinier hair
• Improved sleep
• Clearer thinking
• Improved lipid panels
• Disappearance or lessening of past conditions

            The Standard Process Purification Program is not a diet.  It is a lifestyle program that teaches individuals how to live a healthier life by purifying, nourishing, and maintaining a healthy body and weight.  The program emphasizes supplements and whole foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, while limiting high-calorie, refined foods and saturated fats.  Nourishing the body with nutrient-rich foods provides the complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants needed to protect the body and promote optimal health.

            During purification, individuals create a foundation for a healthy lifestyle.  In the Post-Purification stage they continue to build on that foundation by expanding on what they've learned during purification.  With our guidance, patients reintroduce foods previously omitted during the purification program and develop a new relationship with food.

            The clinical effectiveness of the Standard Process Purification Program was published in a research article published in the September 2008 peer-reviewed Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.  The results of the study strengthened the theory that a calorie-restricted whole food diet along with supporting nutritional supplements, administered under the guidance of a trained health care professional, can support healthy serum lipids and weight.
