The High Cost Of Buying Health In A Bottle

Good health is a blessing not bestowed upon everyone. Can you afford to purchase good health from a bottle? Probably not.

I buy a few vitamin and mineral supplements from Dr. David Williams' Mountain Home Nutritionals. My father recommended that I try his Joint Advantage solution to avoid replacement of an arthritic knee.

I still have my knee and it works fine, thanks in part to the vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement from Dr. Williams.

Recently I received a catalog from Mountain Home Nutritionals. I cannot provide a positive endorsement of every product in the catalog, but all those I've tried have provided good results.

Why haven't I tried everything? Because I cannot afford to be that healthy.

The catalog is full of dozens of products. A month of the Daily Advantage vitamin supplement is $50. A bottle of the Essential Fatty Acids Advantage is $10, for a month's supply. You see where this is goin, right?

The Healthy GI Advantage for gastrointestinal assistance is $16 a month. Likewise the Probiotics Advantage is $20 for a monthly supply. That's nearly $100 a month for supplements and we haven't even left the tummy and intestines yet.

The Blood Sugar Advantage will set you back $23 for a bottle that lasts a month. Sinuses can be protected for a month by SINUPRETforte. Elderberry will do something to improve something but set you back $15 a month.

One of my favorites is Tonalin CLA which has something to do with conjugated linoleic acid and something else to do with good health. Mostly it removes money at the rate of $30 a month.

Mountain Home has products for your eyes, prostrate gland, urinary tract, heart and other organs I don't remember from anatomy studies in school. Say goodbye to another $100 a month. It's the cost of good health. Something from Tibet improves circulation and removes from circulation $30 a month.

Nattokinase from Japan supports circulation, blood pressure, and more, for a mere $27 a month.

For the most part, the catalog highlights products which "may" help, or "supports" this or that function. Eyes can be nourished and protected for only $43 a month. An extra $18 will help your eye by using the best-kept secret for healthy eyes, Bilberry, whatever that is.

The world's most expensive sardines and salmon are available through Mountain Home Nutritionals. So are nutrition bars at $2.00 each in a case of 24.

For the most part, I eat healthy, and take a few vitamins and minerals to supplement where I think I may have a shortage. But if I really wanted to become healthy, I would have more of a shortage of money than good health.
