SP Farmacy from A to Z

  • Home
  • SP Farmacy from A to Z

Dear Friends,

30+ years ago I was treating a woman for a sprained ankle and told her my standard for sprained ankle care:

  1. Ice 

  2. Tape

  3. Bromelain for inflammation 

  4. Alphabet range of motion

  5. Elevate the ankle above the heart while sleeping 

She nodded and left. The next week, she came back for a follow-up visit. I walked into the room where she was lying on her back on the table and said, “How are you doing?” She replied, “Better, but I don’t know how you expect me to sleep like *this*.” At which point she took her legs and thrust them up and over so she was bent in half at the waist with her feet dangling above her head.

OMG! Mind you, I was 25 and had yet to experience many patient encounters. So, I bit my lip and said “Well, some people just can’t sleep in that position, so for those people we have them place a pillow under their foot to elevate it.”😃

The conversation inside my head was going very differently! HA! That is when I realized that, as a practitioner, I have to be crystal clear in my explanations to patients.

As the nutritional portion of our practice has expanded, people are using wonderful tools that we have from Standard Process. But that also opens up more opportunities for misinterpretation of directions and dosages, especially with my handwriting. YIKES! (Our lovely staff have gotten very good at interpreting my chicken scratch and often place wages on what it says).

To help remedy this issue, we have developed a new section on our YouTube page called
“SP Farmacy from A to Z.”  These are short, simple videos (15-60 seconds each) that explain use and dosage options for each of the 150+ Standard Process supplements that we keep in stock. Standard Process only sells through healthcare providers for several reasons:

  1. Their supplements have wacky names that need explaining.

  2. As their products are whole food complexes, they are more potent but ALSO lower dosage, which means 99% of us who number shop labels won’t understand how to optimally take them without guidance.

  3. They value the relationship that patients develop with their practitioners while being guided through their health journey. 

This will be a wonderful resource for you if you need to reference any supplements you have sitting on the shelf that you might have forgotten how they are best used.

Please visit our new YouTube channel and subscribe to follow along! Over this next month, we will release new SP Farmacy videos daily, from A to Z! The first 30 videos are up. When you subscribe, you will be notified of new videos so that you can stay up to date. Please spread the word; it is our passion to help people get and stay healthy!

Until next time, stay flexible – you never know when you will elevate your feet above your heart!


God bless,

Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
