The Important Question of Quality

I know that the degree of love, attention and awareness that goes into the development and creation of any-thing in this physical world is of utmost importance and is the ultimate determining factor for the purity, usefulness and excellence of that Creation. I think it goes with out saying that Supplements and Natural Health products are as subject to this Universal Law as anything else you see in the world around you.

On this basis my intention in developing each product and health program, in sourcing the ingredients, in determining the manufacturing environment and procedures and even in the design of the labels and choice of bottle or container... It is all done with a high degree of focus on quality and a focus on creating something that will perform the task it was designed for. My belief is that if it doesn't do that to the best of it's capacity then there is no point in making it and there is certainly no point in you taking it.

The Quality of these products are as good as I can make them at any given time. I say "at any given time" because I am constantly on the look out for better quality ingredients, improved proportions, combinations and formulations, and anything else that will enhance the quality of the product at hand. To me this is vital. The things I create are not "static" creations. They are as "living" and dynamic as the Inspiration and knowledge I receive on an ongoing basis pertaining to their evolution and improvement.

Just what does this all mean in practical and grounded terms?
It means that each product is made in professional facilities with New Zealand M.A.F. (Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries) certification and the internationally recognised G.M.P. Standard (Good Manufacturing Practice) which when properly implemented demands the highest possible standards... right down to the building being supplied only with filtered air.

Each product has to pass an independent Bacteriological test before it reaches your hands

The plant based ingredients are certified organic or wild-crafted when ever possible - or non-certified organic where necessary. Sometimes I simply can not get an organic ingredient so I select the best source I can find for a non-organic ingredient. I then continue to search (globally) for organic ingredients to replace the non-organic ones in future production runs

I go to great length to ensure that ingredients are free from Genetically Modified materials - GMO FREE

The herbal extracts are non-standardised extractions of the whole plant material which provides the full broad range of biochemical components each herb has to offer.
My view, and that of most knowledgeable medical herbalists, is that the standardisation of herb extracts is a "pharmaceutical approach" to herbal medicine that does not consider the intrinsic balance and natural "intelligence" within each plant - a balance that has resulted in the natural composition of that herb material. I consider that "natural composition" to be superior to a standardised extract where one chemical has been selected out as more important than the rest. I suspect that this is something that is not yet understood by the promoters of standardised extracts and that more people will see the light of truth in this over the years to come

The herb extracts I select are generally produced by relatively small companies that are owned and operated by people who are dedicated to the love and discipline of making exceedingly high-quality extractions which make the most of what each plant has to offer us. The herbs generally undergo a lengthy production process (taking many weeks and even months when required) which applies the specific techniques that bring out the best of each plant.

If any particular ingredients needs special handling and packing requirements to maintain its potency and quality then I make a point of taking these steps whenever possible.
Let me give you an example: IntestoLin® contains flax seed meal which is a highly sensitive ingredient. The special health giving oils in Flax seed meal will break down very quickly when exposed to oxygen, heat and light. For this reason the flax seed meal I use is cold milled in a nitrogen atmosphere and sealed in an airtight bag for transportation. When it reaches the bottling plant it goes into refrigeration until we are ready to use it over the next day or two. it is then mixed with the other ingredients in a nitrogen atmosphere and packaged into black plastic pots (to block light) with a final nitrogen flush being applied. A specialised oxygen absorber also goes into the pot to help soak up any traces of oxygen and to also continue protecting the product once you open it.
This is not a cheap way to make this product and I am not aware of many companies that will go to this length to ensure you get the maximum benefit from something as healthy as flax seed meal. What's more, they will not bother to tell you that the Alpha-Linolenic Acid in flax seed, which they promote as being so good for you, will pretty much have completely deteriorated by the time you even get to try it.

Wherever possible (which is almost always) I avoid the use of animal derived ingredients in those products that don't specifically need to have them (Colostrum Powder, for instance, has to come from animals!!). I take this step because I feel it ensures the products are free from the various diseases that animal derived ingredients can carry (such as Mad Cow Disease) and it may also spare the life of the animal in question or at least not support the devastating conditions many of these animals are generally raised under. It also ensures that the products are completely vegan and suitable for people with those dietary preferences.

I will not say that my products are the best that the could possibly be as this would simply not be true and I don't think it is even close to true for almost all the products you see out there. It would be fantastic if they were but all I can honestly say is that they are as good as I am able to make them based on the knowledge and means available. The on-going advancements in technology and new health discoveries along with the availability of ever improving raw materials all mean that over time each product can always be improved - and that is exactly what I aim to do with them.
