The "BAREFOOT" Products
The Barefoot formulas have their roots in the Dr. John R. Christopher education, similar to how Dr. Richard Schulze got his start in selling herbs, only I am homemade, while he sells commercial as does the Christopher company.
It seems 11+ years ago one of the top educated medical doctors in the country recognized western medicine was not going to work for what he wanted for his family, so he got his nutritional license. He then resold Christopher and Schulze products......then it appears some years later he noticed these products just were not as good anymore and formulas changing. A year ago, he tried the homemade herbs of Barefoot and tried basically all of them. He concluded this was what he wanted for his practice. He basically wanted everything we make, plus some of the old Christopher formulas we had not made.
The results are the names were all changed. The Doctor's name on the bottles making the products his products, his brand and appearantly his patients "gobbled" them off the shelf in the state of California. Making the Doctor our second largest customer over night, so to speak, with potential to basically take all our efforts to make his patients these old-time formulas. What is unique is he has interest in the formulas we never had much success selling to normal people. Basically we sell DeWormer, because the Dr. Clark books and websites fuel the sales of dewormer herbs, while this doctor is well educated and experienced with the use of Dr. John R. Christopher's formulas and methods of treatment.
We were about maxed out with what we were doing prior to the Doctor's business. Recentaly, a box sent to Norway showed that more and more countries are not allowing herbs in. Out of country sales have always been discouranged and we are done with those, they are always expensive and always risky and we must face the facts, other coutries are making more and more anti-herb laws and the few we get are no longer worth the risk/effort. Over half of the people who resale our herbal products are doctors. Their business is going to one day make maintaining a forum/website more than we can handle. We have always used this forum as a "window" into the growing-pains of making your own herbal business. After 10 years this October we have the respect of one of the top educated doctors in the country using homemade herbal products for no doubt the most influencuial patients.
Anyone that can put 2 and 2 to equal 4, knows the patients are paying far more than our mix and match prices and our wholesale prices are the same to one and all. That makes our little home-business unique, because we treat all equally. You can be Amish or a Harvard graduate, you will be treated the same from us.
