Once in a great while Bonnie and I come across something really special to share with our friends. The following invitation is intended to bring you many blessings, both physical and otherwise. We believe that it could contain an answer to one or more long-standing challenges in your life.
We would like to offer you a chance to treat your body to an assortment of top-quality foods that are not yet available to the general public. We are looking for feedback that will help us bring this forth on a commercial basis, and we are also looking for the rest of the team needed to develop the line.
Here's the story: For several years, Bonnie and I have been using and selling the world's best superfood combination: Pure Synergy. This was actually the very first superfood ever brought to market, and it is still the best, due to The Synergy Company's high quality standards. The formula is based on thorough research of the best healing foods and herbs from all around the world, and extraordinary techniques are used to optimize the growing, harvesting, storage, transportation, and combining of the ingredients. In addition, the company has a high commitment to environmental consciousness. Mitchell May, who invented the product in order to rebuild his body after a severe accident, was written up in medical journals as a medical miracle-he was able to regenerate bone, nerves, muscles, and organ tissue in his body, as well as restore his immune system. (Read more about Mitchell and listen to interviews with him at http://www.mitchellmay.com/pages/home.html. Info on Pure Synergy is at http://synergy-co.com/pages/pure-synergy.html.)
I like to consume Pure Synergy first thing in the morning as my breakfast, but I have often wished that I could obtain some of the 60+ individual ingredients in order to take extra of some of them throughout the day. This wish seems to be coming true!
Recently I was researching Camu Camu powder, and I discovered that Synergy Production LaboratoriesTM (the division of the company that sources and combines the ingredients) has once again topped everyone else in the world in how they are producing this ingredient. During my discussion with them, I learned that they are seeking to expand the production of all of their raw materials and sell the excess in bulk to other companies for inclusion in their formulas. I asked if anyone was selling the individual ingredients in smaller quantities to the general public and learned that no one has expressed an interest in doing so. I discovered that the Synergy Company itself does not wish to expand in this direction, but they are willing to bless me in doing so. This unexpected opportunity absolutely boggled my mind. I started looking into this more and talking to others about it, and the inner "green light" for doing this has gone on and stayed on.
How would you like to have at your fingertips some of the world's very best quality fruit and vegetable powders and herbs, and be able to treat your body to them individually or mix and match them throughout each day in whatever way you want? I realize that only certain people will be interested in this, but for those who want quality, this is an exciting new possibility.
A special supplement to the Natural Products Industry Insider states: "The company goes to excruciating lengths to preserve the integrity of the ingredients it develops. Key to this philosophy is the company's dedication to organic practices, materials and certification. The result is impeccable products that retain their bioactive potency and vitality and are not available from any other source.
"In keeping with its whole-food approach, SPL treats each ingredient it develops as a unique project because each ingredient has different characteristics. The common thread is the company's desire to keep the ingredient as close to its natural food form as possible. This often requires the development of new technologies or processes, and it always requires creativity. In the end, SPL produces an ingredient that offers all the benefits nature provides."
If you buy organic produce (or grow it yourself) you can go to considerable time and expense and still not know for sure how good the quality is. Then there is the problem of storage, with the rapid loss of nutrients. One of the largest organic produce buyers in the nation once told me that even organic produce can lose half or more of its nutrition and life force within 24 hours of being harvested.
So what would you store the world's best food in? How about the world's best glass containers? Miron Glass, a Swiss-based company, has developed a deep violet colored glass which research has shown to be the most effective for giving protection from external influences as well as maintaining and even enhancing the vitality of the product from within. The secret of violet glass is based on the fact that the violet spectral range permanently activates and energizes the molecular structure, and the energy of products stored in the Miron glass doesn't "escape." (You can read more at about this at www.idspackaging.com/packaging/us/miron_glass/violet_glass_bottles/329_0/g_supplier.html.) I called up the U.S. importer for Miron and found that he is willing to work with us to make these containers as affordable as possible for us to put the world's best food in.
We have selected ten of the best products, and are excited to obtain them to share with you. These are foods and herbs that have been grown and handled with love and all the best of care. We will package them in the violet Miron glass, which will maintain and enhance their quality, even in direct sunlight. The glass jars can be reused for other things after they are empty.
You (and possibly a few of your friends) are invited to share in a one-time sampling of these foods at a modest markup over our cost. We are first of all interested in sharing them with anyone who might feel led to be involved in some way with launching this enterprise, but we want your feedback regardless. These foods are some of the healthiest and most delicious things that you can put in your body.
Because this batch will not be large enough to send out and have filled by machine, we will only be able to put together a small number of these samplers. The package of ten foods will include a total of approximately 500 servings and cost $199 (including shipping).
Wheatgrass Juice Powder (Triticum aestivum), (100 ml
jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Fresh cold-processed
Concentrated juice powder-no indigestible fibers
Rich source of healing, detoxifying chlorophyll
Soil-grown spring wheat
Oxygen-free, moisture-free packaging
Dissolves instantly in water
Has a clean and mild taste
"Wheatgrass juice is one of the finest blood builders
and body rejuvenators I know."
Dr. Bernard Jensen, clinician, researcher and author of over 20
natural health books
"SPL's certified organic grasses (wheat, kamut, barley, oat and alfalfa) are harvested at their optimal stage of growth, when the tender shoots are at their peak of nutritional and enzymatic potency. The grasses are immediately juiced and then dried at low temperatures (using a modified atmosphere of carbon dioxide), transforming the fresh juices into vibrant powders. SPL has also developed an exceptional freeze-dried grass juice product: Wheatgrass Juice CrystalsTM. These 100% water-soluble, organic juice crystals offer the closest thing to drinking freshly juiced wheatgrass there is." (NPI Insider)
(You can read more at http://www.synergyproduction.com/pages/wheatgrassjuice.html.)
Sprout Powders: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) or Spelt (Triticum
spelta), (100 ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Fresh freeze-dried
Grown from heirloom seeds
Exceptional nutrient development
Oxygen-free, moisture-free packaging
Climate-controlled processing and storage
Extensive microbiological testing
"My own experience and observation of thousands of other people points to an amazing ability of sprouts to regenerate body cells and tissues." Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Institute and author
The Natural Products Industry Insider says this about the SPL Sprout Powders: "In the eyes of consumers, sprouts are the quintessential health food-and for good reason. Sprouts contain the full concentration of active constituents found in the fully grown plant. As a result, they are a very concentrated source of enzymes, essential amino acids, chemopreventive compounds and a wide assortment of vitamins and minerals in a naturally chelated form. SPL activates specially selected organic seeds in a proprietary broth that is rich in catalytic minerals and other essential nutrients. The sprouts come to life in a precision-controlled environment, where optimal temperature, moisture, lighting and oxygen enrich the sprouts' nutritional content and discourage bacterial growth. To ensure optimal preservation of the sprouts' abundant enzymes and other active constituents, they are fresh freeze-dried immediately after harvest and then cryogenically milled."
(Over two dozen other varieties of Sprout Powders are also available to us. Read more at http://www.synergyproduction.com/pages/sprouts.html.)
Berry Powder: A full-spectrum, proprietary powdered
blend of the following organic, fresh freeze-dried whole and juiced
berries and fruits, (300 ml jar):
Wild Bilberry (Vaccinium uliginosum)
Black Currant (Ribes nigrum)
Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium)
Cherry, Sour (Prunus cerasus)
Wild Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis idaea)
Raspberry (Black) (Rubus idaea)
Raspberry (Red) (Rubus idaea)
Aronia (Chokeberry) (Aronia melanocarpa)
Concord Grape (Vitis vinifera)
Pineapple (Ananas comosus)
Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Wild Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos)
Wild Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
"Extensive research has shown that the colorful pigments, flavonoids and phytonutrients in berries (anthocyanin, proanthocyanin and others) offer numerous health benefits, including powerful antioxidant properties, circulatory system support and enhancement of visual function. Synergized Berry or Fruit powders are produced according to the scientific evidence that these benefits are more present and bioactive in whole berries and berry juice than in isolated extracts." (NPI Insider)
Camu Camu Extract Powder (Myrciaria dubia), (100 ml
jar):
100% natural vitamin C
Contains whole-food bioflavonoids, anthocyanins and other essential
co-factors
Standardized to a minimum of 20% naturally occurring vitamin C
Ethically wildcrafted; hand-harvested in the pristine Amazon Rainforest
Organic manioc root carrier-an heirloom staple food
Proprietary, temperature-controlled processing methods
Three-year shelf life
Certified kosher
No genetically modified materials
No added ascorbic acid
"I take vitamin C for colds . . . I prefer to get mine
from camu camu, the amazing Amazonian fruit that has the world's
highest vitamin C content."
Dr. James Duke, USDA scientist and author of The Green Pharmacy
Goji Berries (Lycium chinensis), (1 lb):
Supreme Grade (the rarest and finest)
Wildcrafted in a Certified Organic area (this is unique to SPL)
Low plate count
No organophosphates or sulphur
The Goji berry is a deep-red, dried fruit about the same size as a raisin, and tastes somewhat like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry. Goji berries are perhaps the most nutritionally-rich fruit on the planet. They contain 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids. Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on earth! Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E. They contain polysaccharides which fortify the immune system. A polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful secretagogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland).
Reishi Mushroom Mycelium Powder (Ganoderma lucidum),
(300 ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Potent and pure mycelium powder
Proprietary growth substrate
Pharmaceutical-grade growing environment
Potentiated to liberate active constituents
Helpful for the heart
Medicinal mushrooms have been treasured for 7,000 years as profound healing agents. Unlike many other traditional remedies, though, mushrooms have been shown in numerous modern scientific studies to possess medicinal properties. Reishi has been shown to exert many beneficial effects which seems to support Reishi's historical use as an "adaptagen." An adaptagen is defined as a substance which increases the resistance to stress and improves the general tone of the body and mind.
"Synergy was probably the first Western company to incorporate Chinese medicinal mushrooms into its offerings," Mitchell May says. "Mycelia are the ideal source of mushrooms' beneficial compounds. Unlike the fruiting body, they don't require cooking or extraction to release their potent active constituents. Moreover, recent research has indicated that the unique enzymes found in mushrooms offer as much immunoprotective properties as the polysaccharide compounds, and the absence of heat-processing allows us to preserve and protect those enzymes." (Additional species are available-see more info at http://www.synergyproduction.com/pages/mushrooms.html.)
Barley Juice Powder (Hordeum vulgare) or Kamut Juice
Powder (Triticum polonicum), (300 ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Cold-temperature dried
Three times the chlorophyll over others that are spray-dried
No carriers
Tested for enzymes
A great immune system booster and cell detoxifier
(Note: Many of the more commonly available Barley Juice Powders are either not fully certified organic or are spray-dried, which destroys part of the nutrition.)
Nettle Powder (Urtica dioica), (100 ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Fresh freeze-dried
Low sugars
Doesn't clump
Nettle can be used in small amounts as a medicinal herb, or in larger amounts as a nutritious green drink (in rotation with other greens). Preparations of Nettle are said to act well upon the kidneys and may reduce allergies. Nettle is anti-asthmatic: the juice, mixed with honey or sugar, will relieve bronchial and asthmatic troubles. Preparations of the herb have astringent properties and act also as a stimulating tonic.
Tomato Juice Powder (Lycopersicon esculentum), (300
ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Fresh freeze-dried
No carrier
Can be used to make sauce, ketchup, soups, juice, paste, dips, dressings, seasonings, weaning foods, health beverages & many neutraceutical products.
Active 15+ Manuka Honey Powder, Fresh freeze-dried from
New Zealand, (100 ml jar):
Certified organic and kosher
Tested and verified to be free of over 200 chemical residues
Exclusive source for all of North America
Never heated above hive temperatures
A superior treatment for wounds and infections
(Also available to us is Manuka bee pollen and propolis. You can read more about Manuka honey at http://www.natures-fix.com/research.htm.)
Many of the above ingredients can be used to quickly make green smoothies (made by blending water, a piece of fruit or some Berry Powder, and any fresh greens or green powder). Most people need more minerals in their diet, and an easy way to get them is from green smoothies. However, it has been discovered that it is best to rotate between a wide variety of greens, and this is another reason why we are excited to make the SPL line of foods available year-round. Victoria Boutenko has written an excellent book on the health benefits of green smoothies, Green for Life, and also produced a captivating video, "Greens Can Save Your Life." You may order these from us or from www.rawfamily.com. We also carry Pure Synergy and the rest of the Synergy Company's other existing products.
I haven't mentioned the bulk algae, the other herbs, and the other natural vitamin C products that we can also get from Synergy Production Labs. To fully appreciate their quality and uniqueness, follow this link to read an article about them from an industry trade magazine: http://www.synergyproduction.com/pages/Synergy-NPI10-8pg.pdf. I really feel that there are many other people who would like to have the opportunity to buy these products on an individual basis (not just as part of someone else's preconceived formula) and see what happens when you give your body access to some of the best possible food whenever it wants.
Please let us know immediately if you are interested in obtaining any of these products. We will be placing our one-time small order very soon, and after that it could be several months before we organize all the resources to make an initial commercially-packaged run. This really could (and should) be a multi-million dollar business, and I want to develop it in a way that can ultimately reach and help many, many people. If you feel led to be a part of this (or know someone who might) please let us know as soon as possible.
We are all in the process of learning how to better give our bodies what they need, and we also learn along the way that there are emotional and other reasons that we have been eating things that are less than ideal for us. I plan to go into this more as we develop our website, but for now let me bless you wherever you are in this process and encourage you to be compassionate with yourself and others.
We live in a world of duality, which means that as things get worse and worse (such as the general food supply) there are also better and better options that become available (if you know where to find them). We think we have found some of the best of the best. If you know of any other wonderful health-related things that we haven't yet discovered, please bring them to our attention.
We have enjoyed sharing with you and look forward to your feedback. Please call or email us if you are interested in any of these products.
Blessings,
Aaron and Bonnie
