Crystal Star Ann’s Health Foods Training 2015
Founded by Linda Page, Ph.D, Tradi5onal Naturopath Dr. Linda Page was compelled to research alterna5ve avenues of healing a@er being sequestered in a hospital with a life-‐ threatening illness. With only a liDle knowledge of herbs, she read voraciously. She began to formulate the many compounds, which would eventually save her life. As she healed, she completed degrees in Naturopathy and Nutri5on from Clayton College of Natural Health. A master classical herbalist, she founded Crystal Star in 1978 and today has formulated well over 250 whole herb combina@ons. Today, her best-‐selling book, Healthy Healing, is used as a textbook at many educa@onal ins@tu@ons teaching natural health courses.
Whole Herbs for the Whole Person Why choose Crystal Star® whole herb formulas? Choose the power of whole herbs! Most whole herbs, as edible plants, are as safe to take as foods. Only the whole herb can give the whole benefit! You can rely on Crystal Star® whole herb combina@ons for safety and effec@veness. The value is in the formula, not simply one or two chemicals within it, no maDer how potent they are. Low probability of side effects with whole herbs. S5ll, If you are taking prescrip5on medica5ons, we suggest you consult with your physician before star5ng a self-‐help program. All formulas are formulated by Dr. Linda Page. A leader in the natural foods industry, Dr. Page has been formula5ng herbal combina5ons since the early 80’s. At one 5me, her formulas were sold in bulk in the bins of the natural foods stores in California. Even then, they were sought a@er for their rapid ac5vity and safety factor.
Commitment to Quality At Healthy Healing, our commitment to quality is unwavering. To insure we use the highest quality ingredients, we take the following ac5ons: To verify authen5city, each botanical ingredient is given an iden@fy test upon arrival. The iden5fy tes5ng and micro analysis are conducted both internally, and by outside 3rd par5es. The ingredients listed on our label are in our products, at the specific formula amounts. Our labs are GMP 3rd party cer@fied, and NSF registered. COA (Cer5ficate of Analysis) accompanies every herb in our formulas. When wild herbs are in danger of becoming ex5nct, we move to cul5vated herbs. When there's possible GMO contamina5on, we move to cer5fied organic herbs. As a company we will con@nue to align ourselves with industry ini@a@ves, quality companies, and quality individuals. Keep an eye out for our 100% Ingredient Verifica@on.
