Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Evening Alobar, >> I am 58 years old & currently spend about $200 a month on >vitamins & supplements. When I was younger, I spent less than $50/month for >vitamins. Thanks for the economic summary. The cost you posted very closely parallel the cost I have experienced. We are close to the same age, so the older figures of less than $ 50.00 per month bring back memories. Often in the days were $ 50.00 would buy you a months supply, I would tell my friends that it is worth that much to feel great for ONE DAY, that is..... when one feels terrible and cannot work or play. Today with rates and earnings inflated, It can be worth $ 200.00 to feel good for one day. Considering what it cost to visit the sawbones, and wait for hours, and the often horrific results, I might even say it can be worth $ 500.00 to feel good for one day and avoid the asphalt jungle of bacteria and staph infections.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 I spend a lot more than that on supplements; about what it would cost me, if I smoked a pack a day, and also consumed a few drinks a day. But I don't smoke and I don't drink. - " Wayne Fugitt " <wayne Thursday, March 07, 2002 7:29 PM How Much is Your Health Worth > Evening Alobar, > > >> I am 58 years old & currently spend about $200 a month on > >vitamins & supplements.

But I don't >smoke and I don't drink. I spend more also...... at times. And.... I bet Alobar does as well. These figures must be the basic stapes that we use regularly. Virtually every time I stop by my local health food store I spend $ 50 to $ 75.00. By using the internet to order, we often save 20 to 50 % over local retail prices. My local store gives me a 20% discount off all items. Then..... I found out that everyone I send by, they were giving the same discount. I told them they did not have to do that. I don't want them to go out of business. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 --- Morning John & Alobar, A good friend of mine found herself taking $300 worth of supplements monthly after a *botched* hyst. They had basically given up on her, telling her the pain was " all in her head " . With an all-organic diet she has been able to cut down on her supplements and achieve a greater degree of healing than she previously thought. After all, one has to eat!
