Page 3 Winter Immune System Support: Target the Respiratory System Winter can bring a surge of immune system challenges for your patients. Proper hygiene, a healthy diet, good sleeping habits, and exercise can help support the immune system, but sometimes that’s not enough. When a patient is dealing with immune system issues, the respiratory system can benefit from specific support. Often the upper or lower respiratory system is the target area. In most cases, upper respiratory issues often show up one to three days after initial contact. Something as simple as a handshake, touching the nose or mouth after contact with a shopping cart, or sharing a straw with someone can be the start of an unpleasant episode. Patients dealing with upper respiratory issues may report challenges with the head, throat, nose, ears, and sinuses. In most cases, patients are back to their healthy selves in a week or two. Lower respiratory challenges often result in patients having issues with their lungs, chest, breathing, head, sinuses, and nose. On these occasions, patients often say they are tired and have low energy. Both Standard Process and MediHerb have products that support immune system health. The protocols that follow are suggested to support immune system health in the upper and lower respiratory system.* Upper and Lower Respiratory Support Standard Process Emphaplex® 2 capsules per meal, or as directed Emphaplex provides ingredients with antioxidant activity while supporting the respiratory system and the body’s natural ability to expel respiratory secretions.* Cataplex® B-GF and Cardio-Plus® GF Added to GlutenFree Lineup Upper Respiratory Support Standard Process Congaplex® 3 capsules per meal, or as directed Congaplex provides short term support for the thymus gland and healthy immune system function while providing antioxidant activity.* MediHerb Euphrasia Complex 1 tablet 3-4 times daily, or as directed Euphrasia Complex contains the herbs eyebright, golden rod, Echinacea purpurea root, golden seal, and cayenne.

NEWS FEBRUARY 2015 Practice Tip: How YouTube Can Be Your Friend By David Hogsed, DOM, AP, contributor to the SP News In a previous SP News practice tip, I mentioned there are unique benefits for every patient education technique (lectures, clinic website, newsletters, etc.). And while each David Hogsed, DOM, AP of these methods can effectively get your message out, I am convinced that one of the most underutilized patient education tools is found on one of the most popular websites, which is also the second most popular search engine. Making your own YouTube channel is both free and simple, but the possibilities for patient education are limitless. You may be thinking, “I don’t have time to make videos.” That’s not a problem. One of the benefits of having a YouTube channel is the ability to make playlists (groups of videos) containing videos from other channels. For example, my friend Dr. Marlene Merritt has made and posted some excellent patient education videos on her YouTube channel (Merritt Wellness Center) that I’ve added to my “Weight Management” playlist. I’ve also included videos from Drs. Dan and Mary Eades, Gary Taubes, and Dr. William Davis in this “Weight Management” playlist. One of the videos featured on my “Supplements” playlist is called “Seasons on the Farm,” from the Standard Process YouTube channel. This video does a great job of showing the work that takes place on the organic farm at Standard Process throughout the year. I believe this nineminute video can do more to enhance our patients’ understanding of Standard Process supplements than hours of us talking with them. You can have a very effective YouTube channel just by making useful customized playlists, but I highly recommend you also create some videos of your own. I can attest to the fact that just making a few simple YouTube videos can go a long way toward enhancing patient education and increasing patient compliance. Keep in mind these basic guidelines when making your videos to help ensure they are both effective education tools and viewed by a significant number of people. Here’s one more idea for maximizing the benefits of YouTube. Make a customized playlist titled “For New Patients” that contains a few videos explaining your health philosophy, what to expect at your office, etc. Having new patients watch these videos before their first appointment can save you a lot of time in the initial consultation. More importantly, a person’s reaction to these videos (positive or negative) can help you determine whether or not that person will be a “good fit” as a patient in your practice. When someone Googles your name, your YouTube channel (if you have one) will probably be one of the first items to appear, so make the most of this opportunity! David Hogsed, DOM, AP, is in full-time practice with his father, James Hogsed, DC, at the Natural Healthcare Professionals clinic in Fort Myers, Florida. His practice specializes in providing effective nutritional support for weight management, endocrine balance, digestion, musculoskeletal, and immune system health. He has been a clinical consultant and speaker for Standard Process since 2003, providing inspiring nutritional seminars for health care professionals.* YouTube Pointers • If you have a smartphone, it probably includes a video camera to make your videos. All you need is a tripod for the phone. There are many tripod options available for around $20. • Are you camera-shy? That’s not a problem. PowerPoint® presentations can easily be converted into effective YouTube videos. Just type “PowerPoint YouTube” in the YouTube search bar to view simple tutorials. • One warning about copyright law: The fact that a video is on YouTube does not mean that you are free to use it on your channel. It is possible for content creators to retain copyright rights to their material. If you are concerned about this with respect to a specific video, you should investigate further. For helpful information, visit www.youtube.com and select “Copyright” from the menu at the bottom of the home page. Make your YouTube videos: 1. Short In today’s fast-paced, informationoverload society, the average person will commit about 10 minutes to watching a video—and even that is often a stretch. Many people won’t even click to open a video that’s 30 minutes long, let alone watch the video in its entirety. The shorter the video, the more people will watch it. 2. Simple Another factor in determining whether or not people watch your video is if they think they will be able to understand the topic. If someone feels like a video topic is too complex or overwhelming, that person probably won’t watch the video. For example, you may be excited about passing along the information from a neuroscience study, but you might scare away your audience by using the study title, Mitochondrial ROS Govern the LPS-Induced ProInflammatory Response in Microglia Cells by Regulating MAPK and NF-κB Pathways,1 as your video title. You could make your video less intimidating by simplifying the title. A video called “Inflammation and Brain Health” will likely attract a much broader viewing audience. And while that’s an exaggerated example, the importance of making your video content simple cannot be overstated. 3. Sweet Have you ever watched a health education video that left you feeling downright depressed? Making “doom and gloom” videos is hardly the best strategy to enhance your patient education. The content of your videos may be completely true, but if they don’t offer any good news or practical solutions, there’s not much value in your patients viewing them. Most people get more than enough bad news, so make sure your YouTube channel is an oasis of encouragement and hope. 1.

Little-Known Facts About Standard Process Timeless Formulas of Dr. Royal Lee Before becoming a dentist, Royal Lee served in the U.S. Army.

The spleen plays a major role in immune system function and formation of blood cells. While we are able to live without a spleen, it is considered an important organ to maintain good health. Spleen Desiccated Spleen Desiccated is intended for short-term support of the spleen. This gluten-free formula supports healthy immune system function and also maintains healthy blood.* However, his service was cut short when he incurred an injury while stationed in Winchester, England. He received an honorable discharge from the Army on January 13, 1919. When you think of healthy immune system function, do you think of the spleen? For most people, the spleen is not top of mind when it comes to a healthy immune system. But it’s important to consider the spleen when the focus is on supporting a patient’s healthy immune system function. The spleen is a kidney-shaped organ that sits between the stomach and diaphragm in the upper abdomen. Considered part Introduced in 1981, Spleen Desiccated is a Standard Process classic. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
