Re: iii - Okra Pepsin E3, again

Okay, so, Standard Process still produces OPE3. So far, so good.

A visit to their web site shows that they don't sell to anybody but "health care providers". I guess if I use my imagination there might be a reason that this is a good thing but otherwise, so far, not so good. However, since they provide a state-by-state listing of distributors, I thought perhaps the distributor satisfies the "HCP" requirement and all I need to do is call distributor to order. I look up Pennsylvania, call the guy, woman answers and proceeds to tell me "we won't sell OPE3 to you if you are not a healthcare provider".

Can anyone help me on this? Whats up with this? This looks like they require me to visit an MD/doctor who then writes me a note to approve the purchase of OPE3. Is this so or are there more practical ways to get OPE3 on my own without intervention by HPCs, or do I really really really need to get the blessing of an HPC to sanction this?

I'd really really like to give this a try but at this point I don't want it so badly that I'm going to visit an MD or other "health care provider" middleman to set up the deal..... anyone?
