Since the inception of Harvey’s All Naturals, our research has shown and we have strongly believed that the first step in creating the best hemp products for human consumption is to focus on maintaining healthy soils. The second is to grow plants with care, using only organic processes, natural fertilizers, and the best genetics possible on a small scale. Step three is to create hemp flower oils using minimum processing at low temperatures to maintain the true natural full-spectrum cannabinoid profiles such as CBDA – along with preserving the natural molecular bonds and terpene profiles within these oils. And finally, use these thick oils as an ingredient – along with other all-natural ingredients that work as carrier agents – to help the body easily accept and benefit from the various CBDx elements for long-term health benefits.

Yes, we know that’s a lot to take in – but it’s exactly the formula required to a produce premium, CBD product. This is the essence of Harvey’s All Naturals, and the science is finally proving this philosophy.

There is a misconception in the hemp industry that CBD is what we want. The truth is there is no CBD on the hemp, or cannabis plant. However, there is CBDA, CBGA, CBCA, etc. and these are the true natural forms of the full-spectrum cannabinoids that our body’s love. The “A” represents an acid element that is removed or transformed though a heat process called decarboxylation (this is why we COLD-PROCESS!!!). Like any other processed foods, highly processed hemp products from large scale industrial grows are just simply bad or often ineffective.

The recent OSU COVID study is simply more proof. We’ll let the data speak for itself.

Dr. David Long has been practicing medicine in Texas for over 15 years. After working at the same medical practice with a large hospital system, Dr. Long decided to break from the system to start his own medical practice. He now carries Harvey’s All Naturals at his practice for patients looking to CBD as a natural option for multiple health conditions. We had a chance to sit down with Dr. Long to get a physician’s perspective on the benefits of using CBD.

Dr. Long, what led you to start your own practice?
I love practicing medicine for the people of Texas. Over the last 5 years, I noticed the heads of administration at the hospital systems at which I worked were changing course of outpatient clinics, moving to a more corporate model. The over 100 care providers were expected to support the hospital network, but I noticed it came at the costs of autonomy, time with patients, decision-making, etc. Eventually I decided it would be worth the risk to start my own practice and serve patients in this community.

You’re a believer in the health benefits of CBD. Why are you offering it to your patients now?
Within the 100+ care providers in the system where I previously worked, only two offered CBD in their clinics – me and one other physician (former and current Medical Directors, respectively, for the hospital system). Medical Directors oversee medical decisions (types of medication, dosage, treatment, and others). The Administration in the healthcare system wasn’t sure West Texas was ready for CBD – the assumption was that there was too much miseducation and misidentification; that patients would confuse CBD with THC.

What research did/do you rely on when studying effect/uses of CBD?
Practicing Primary care, I tend to have a very broad reading when researching ailments and remedies. I’m no expert on CBD, but as an expert on conditions such as Hypertension, Arthritis, and Heart Disease, I know the sources to go get evidence and credible research. With CBD, I’m in the same boat as everyone else currently is – relying on anecdotal evidence. But as more and more people use CBD regularly, I believe we’ll start to see more clinical studies on its effects and benefits.

How were you introduced to Harvey’s All Naturals?
I have a close friend who lives in Denver, Colorado. His daughter takes a cannabis-based product for seizures. My friend recommended Harvey’s All Naturals to me as a quality product, one that he had come to trust himself. But I still did my own research – taking a look at the third-party testing, safety profiles and recommendations from clients utilizing the product. Harvey’s had great testimonials.

For what ailments do you recommend CBD to your patients?
Many! I’ve been recommending the Elixir for Irritable bowel, bloating, diarrhea – I’ve asked my patients to give it a try, and it’s been worth it. My patients say it really helps.

At my new practice, the bulk of my patients are 32-60 years old, predominantly female. I recommend Harvey’s All Naturals to them as a way to get them off SSRIs (antidepressants) such as Zoloft, Prozac. Many just need to “turn down the volume” on anxiety and to get better sleep. They’ve told me they don’t experience the weight gain which is a common side effect of SSRIs.

As my practice is growing and starting to skew toward older patients, I plan to start recommending CBD more for osteoarthritis. I do believe it can help to naturally relieve the pain associated with monoarthropathy and other inflammatory conditions.

Also, I tell my patients (all of them!) to get better rest. Better health, having less anxiety equals lower blood pressure and less stress on the body’s systems. Anxiety, hypertension, elbow/joint pain and headaches, are often related to stress.

And finally… SLEEP!! I mean “Restorative Sleep”, the kind that really scrubs your brain at night during a full 7-8 hours. We know that a lack of quality sleep may contribute significantly to irritability, attention deficit, foggy thinking. This really is the number one I tell my patients they can do to improve their health.

What resistance do you run into from your patients? And what do you tell them?
To my surprise, I haven’t run into any resistance at all. Given that my former physicians network didn’t think Texas residents were ready to commit to a CBD regiment, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Maybe patients would still confuse CBD with the much more potent THC found in marijuana. Not the case. I’ve found that my patients have educated themselves on the difference between hemp and marijuana. In fact, some patients ask “Does it have the good stuff?” – meaning full spectrum with only trace amounts of THC.

Remember last week when we discussed why a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is so important? A COA ensures that the CBD product you’re buying includes the actual amount of CBD it claims along with other important assurances. Well, Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil (you may be familiar with their daytime TV shows) recently partnered on a segment that pretty much makes that very same point.

Know what’s in your CBD product… and what’s not!

For years, scammers have used the names of celebrities to push their products, despite the fact that there is zero affiliation with the celebrity… none! Names like Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Oprah, Steve Harvey, and Tom Hanks have had their likenesses used to represent various products like diet supplements, sleeping pills, and yes – CBD as well. And it’s all COMPLETELY FAKE. It’s almost impossible to find out who’s behind these ads. To quote Dr. Phil in their segment, “catching these guys is like sacking fog.” Hear the doctors explain why they decided to track down these scammers here.

You can also watch Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil as they visit an independent, third-party laboratory that analyzes CBD products. These labs take CBD samples to analyze the contents and supply those ever-important COAs. Watch their trip to the lab here.

Listen, we know as well as anyone all of the wonderful benefits of taking a daily dose of CBD. That’s how and why we do what we do here at Harvey’s All Naturals. But buying a cheap “gas store” brand probably means you’re not getting a quality product (premium hemp flower oil, devoid of harmful contaminants). We encourage anyone curious about CBD to do their research. And certainly reach out to us if we can help answer any of your questions.

With so many different brands of CBD oils on the market, it can be difficult to tell which ones are legitimate and contain high quality CBD. One of the best, and quite frankly easiest, ways to tell the real-deal from poor quality products is to look at the company’s Certificate of Analysis (COA). Most legitimate CBD companies will post their COA on their website or make it available through their sales representatives.

A Certificate of Analysis is the paperwork provided by an independent, third-party laboratory that has tested samples of CBD oil given or sent by the producer for examination. The COA will confirm the levels of CBD and THC within the sample, ensuring you are “getting what you pay for”. It will also measure other natural components of the oil such as CBC, CBG, CBDA, and others that contribute to the effectiveness of the CBD product.

In addition to what IS in the CBD product, they may also measure what’s NOT in the product. As an agricultural/farm product, the hemp plant takes in many of the compounds found in the soil. These may include “heavy metals” including arsenic, mercury and lead. It will also absorb compounds from any pesticides or herbicides used in farming practices. A responsible producer will test CBD samples to ensure that those levels are well below the recommended limits.

At Harvey’s All Naturals, we work with one of the most respected independent laboratories in the country; Botanacor located in Denver, CO. Botanacor’s validated laboratory system is the only hemp processing lab in the country built to stand up to FDA inspections and audits. This give Harvey’s All Naturals the assurance that our products have been tested by professionals in a validated facility, using validated instrumentation and methodologies.

Our founder, Harvey Craig, started the company to provide natural relief to his friends and family for a variety of health conditions and ailments. He has always been up-front with them about what’s in (and not in) each of his products. It’s our goal to provide that same transparency to each of our customers, nationwide. You can find the COA for Harvey’s products on each individual product page, and feel free to reach out to us directly with any questions!

So many CBD products have hit the market in the last few years; different brands, gummies, bath bombs, lollipops, infused beverages, etc. Maybe you’ve tried them only to be disappointed. If you feel let down by the CBD products you’ve used in the past, we may be able to provide you with some helpful information to make them (or ours) more effective, delivering the health benefits you’re seeking.

First and foremost…CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Taking a daily dose of CBD is the absolute best way to stimulate the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce more endocannabinoids – neurotransmitters that naturally help regulate functions in our health and with disease. The more regularly your body receives CBD, the more it anticipates it, continues to regulate itself, and triggers production of its own cannabinoids. Take it daily and give it time (usually 7-10 days) to start working. Start with the Harvey’s All Naturals recommended dose of 4-5 drops daily and adjust as necessary.

Second, HOW you take your CBD is incredibly important. New products on the market like gummies, lollipops and infused beverages can be found almost anywhere. These seem fun, but they don’t offer optimal delivery of CBD to your body. Eating or drinking your CBD means it has to go through the digestive system causing it to lose effectiveness as it travels to your stomach where it’s processed in acids. Taking CBD oil under the tongue improves the bioavailability of the product, essentially how much of the CBD actually enters your bloodstream to interact with the ECS.

Lastly, the QUALITY of your CBD product matters if you’re looking for true health benefits. There are, unfortunately, a lot of sub-par products on the market. That $20 bottle from the local gas station probably has little-to-no CBD. Other brands import their CBD oil so it’s difficult to tell what’s in them, and what’s not. Always look at a brand’s Certificate of Analysis (COA) to determine the quality of the CBD. Trusted brands should have it prominently placed on their website – if not, question their quality and continue searching for the product that’s right for you.

Harvey’s All Naturals believes in complete transparency with our customers and has our COAs on our product pages, with a link to download the document. We also believe in quality which is why we have only two ingredients in our CBD Elixir – premium hemp flower CBD oil and grape seed oil. And our CBD Salve contains minimal ingredients as well – CBD oil, beeswax, and other essential oils for a more pleasant scent.

Customer service excellence should be a TOP concern for all health & wellness companies. So why isn’t it?

A quick glance at some CBD brands’ Facebook ads or Instagram feeds can tell you A LOT about their customer service. Comments like, “I’ve been trying to reach your company for two weeks”, “Can someone please respond to my question”, or “The representative said she’d get back to me, but I haven’t heard from anyone” are pretty common. And that’s frustrating!
