Forget It! I Can't Afford Them!

Think you can’t afford good nutrition? Think again! The truth is, you can’t afford to be without the wonderful magic of the medical science developed and proven nutritional supplements that support our God-given gift: our Immune System, whose sole purpose function and programming is to keep our body healthy. We are living in a blessed time! Let's look at the money part.

Most folks already spend at least .15 cents an hour, 24 hours a day (15 cents x 24 hours x 28 days = $100.80 every month) to insure their car and their home, which are totally replaceable. Don’t you think that investing 15 cents an hour ($3.60 a day) on your health is immeasurably more important? Exactly what is your health worth to you? Many folks substitute good nutrition for drugs because their medical insurance covers the cost of going to the doctor and a percentage of the prescription drugs and nutrition isn’t covered. Unfortunately, medical insurance doesn’t cover the time and productivity lost at the job, we don’t get reimbursed for pain and suffering. To top it off, prescription drugs often have severe side effects that cause temporary and in some cases, permanent problems that are worse than the original symptoms! Get this! More than 100,000 folks die each year from properly prescribed medications! Yeah! Read on!

This statistic is according to an article in The Journal of American Medical Association. The author, Bruce Pomeranz, M.D., Ph.D., reviewed 39 different studies of adverse drug reactions in hospitals and came up with alarming conclusions. According to Pomeranz’s research, he estimates that 2,216,000 hospital patients experienced serious adverse drug reactions and 106,000 died from these reactions in 1994 alone. This astounding number accounted for 4.6% of all recorded U.S. deaths that year. This makes drug reaction deaths the fourth leading cause of deaths in the U.S. 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.” A healthy diet with glyconutritional and phytochemical supplements can go a long way to ensure that you never get sick to begin with! Not only can you avoid the pain and suffering, you also avoid the risks of having adverse reactions to drugs!

Let’s take a peek at what health already costs you. First, most folks pay for health insurance in one form or another. In the U.S., folks typically pay a reduced rate through an employer. A doctor visit costs the office visit fee plus, a percentage or “co-pay” for the prescribed drug(s). A single visit to the doctor can end up costing more than $100 after paying the costs of the office visit and prescriptions. Let’s suppose you have a $10.00 an hour job, get sick and miss 3 days of work. Let’s see, at 8 hours per day, means another $240 that’s lost. So the total cost of getting sick for only a few days easily costs more than $300, not to mention the loss in productivity for you and your employer! Imagine the costs for long-term sickness – the thought is unbearable!

When exactly can you start believing that simply improving your health increases your life span by just one year? What is that worth to you? At least one year’s income! What if you live 10-20 years longer? What is that worth to you? It’s easy to quantify the costs of good nutrition, it’s more difficult to quantify the benefits of being and staying healthy. None of us know how long we are going to live or even what disease challenges we can prevent by simply taking the steps that we know will benefit our overall health and of course our happiness.

Many folks spend $3-5 a day on ‘drinks’ and ‘snacks’. We can choose to reduce then eliminate the harmful ‘non-foods’ that reduce our health, such as sodas, chips, candy, pastries, sugar is more harmful than smoking (it is good to stop though), pre-packaged snacks, fried foods, packaged breakfast cereals etc. Anything that is processed to sit on the grocery shelf without rotting simply takes away from your health. When we choose to put those things into our body we can think of health like a bank account getting slowly and surely drained. Rather than spend your hard earned cash on ‘non-foods’, you just might choose to keep and even improve your health. This small investment could end up saving you hundreds, even thousands of dollars!

To keeping and maintaining the magic of your health, Ms. Koby West.
