protein powder, paleo, yes or no?

Garrett - any recommended sources for the glandular protein? I'm interested in trying it out.

Also, if there's anyone out there that uses egg white protein, which brand do you use? I used to use Jay Robb's, but now he has a "new and improved" formula that has soy lecithin in it, and it's more expensive. Oh yeah, and he has more hair in his picture!

Garrett, have you ever heard of or investigated a nutritional company called Standard Process? Apparently they are one of the oldest companies (75 + yrs) that created whole food supp's and have a lot of glandular products that I've seen you mention. In my first years in practice I worked with an older Chiro who swore by the company and carried a significant percentage of their product line.

Thanks.

William,
I've never gotten into Standard Process.

Unless one uses AK to prescribe their supplements, I find them very hard to learn (the names of products are just plain confusing).

Plus, they use quite a bit of non-Paleo-friendly ingredients. Whole food? Yes. Paleo? No.

Also, they don't carry any purely glandular products, if I remember correctly. They always add other stuff--again, some non-Paleo stuff plus some isolated vitamins (to get their label claims on the map).

I'd rather just get my pure glandulars and add what I want to it.

Garrett - which of their products is the glandular protein? The Mits' protein powder is egg, and the other products (powdered liver, thymus, and adrenal gland) don't mention anything about protein in their description.

Thanks for the info Garrett. Actually the guy wasn't an AK doc, but an SOT guy (Goodheart and DeJarnette were cronies back in the day and developed their systems in tandem). I always felt kinda goofy reading through the product catalog anyway.

Sorry for the hijack. I too have some old Designer Whey sitting around that I might use 1x a month. Not too fond of the stuff (I like chewing) but too cheap to just toss it. PWO with blueberries, strawberries, yogurt and a scoop of natural nut butter is a nice little treat though.

That site is terrible to navigate through...

Here it is: http://www.leviticus11.com/antiftg.htm

Look to the other links on that (liver) page to find the adrenal and thymus powders...

No worries on the hijack. If there's one thing the PMenu does and does well, is go on tangents...
