Buying supplements is Expensive? Compared To What?

Posted on: April 6, 2011

Compared to a visit to the doctor or hospital, getting the essential nutrients your body needs is actually very inexpensive.

According to the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health,

“90% of health problems can be dealt with at home, bypassing the cost of a visit to the doctor.”

Compared to the cost of missing a day of work, or a day in the hospital, or a funeral, paying a few dollars every day to get the essential nutrients, is very inexpensive.

Compared to a buying drugs (that are toxic and don't even address the real problem but only manage or cover up symptoms), healthy lifestyle is very inexpensive (and a lot safer). Here are some actual prices for drugs: Celebrex (100 mg) costs $130; Claritin (10 mg): $215; Lipitor (20 mg): $272; Prozac (20 mg): $247; Zithromax (600 mg): $1,482; Zocor (40 mg): $350; Zoloft (50 mg): $206. The average cost is $13.81 per day. Now that is expensive!

Compared to cheaper health food store products that give you between zero and a fraction of the results, the supplements are very inexpensive.

Don’t you always pay a lot more for quality? A luxury car is more expensive than a cheap car, but don’t you get greater value? Besides, why put cheap stuff in a quality body (your body)? Is that a smart thing to do?

Would you build a new house with the cheapest materials you could buy? Don't you DESERVE the highest quality for your temple? Wouldn't you want your children or parents to have the best quality? So why not you?

What if improving your health with a healthy lifestyle (proper eating habits, exercise, excellent nutrition, etc.) increased your life span by just one year? What would that be worth to you? Isn’t that one year’s income? What if you lived an extra 10-20 good healthy years? What would that be worth?

Getting your car brakes fixed may seem expensive too, but compared to what? NOT getting them fixed could cost you your very life.

Rather than thinking in terms of buying supplements, think of it this way—what you are really buying is health and longevity, for pennies on the dollar!
