Affordable Health Supplements -
A Personal Decision

You're probably thinking...

"What? How can affordable health supplements be a personal decision?"

Simply because, the term "affordable" is a relative term.

What's affordable for Bill Gates isn't for me.

By the same token, what's affordable for me may not be for you, or vise-verso.

Everyone wants cheap natural health, but although natural health is usually cheaper than drugs and surgeries, it still isn't free.

If we truly think the matter through, we afford what we most value. So what we afford says everything about our personal priorities.

I know people who will pay hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars for drugs or tests doctors order, even if their health insurance doesn't cover it.

Some of those same people will tell you they can't afford health supplements. I suspect they don't believe supplements would make a difference in their health.

But reality isn't changed by what we believe about it, only our actions are!

So the truth is more, they won't afford health supplements, than they can't...

It is their decision, but they'll have to live with the consequences, which will frequently be poorer health, and at times possibly even death. I trust you aren't one of them.

Affordable Health Supplements -
Beware Low Quality!

A supplement that fails to work isn't affordable no matter how cheap the price! Another consideration when buying "affordable health supplements" is quality.

For example I take a lot of Lysine to avoid cold sores. So a while back I ordered some from Vitacost, made by a company called Country Life.

There was only one problem. While taking that batch of pills, I kept getting cold sores. No sooner would I get over one, then I'd get another one.

I can't prove those pills didn't contain the Lysine they claimed to, but my body proved it to me. Either they didn't contain Lysine, or it was a form my body couldn't use. I got cold sores repeatedly.

If they'd been the first Lysine pills I'd tried, I would've been convinced that Lysine didn't control my cold sores, when in fact, I'd just gotten a bad batch of it.

Please don't misunderstand, I buy a lot of my supplements from Vitacost, and I usually have no problems with them, but I won't buy a product produced by Country Life again, because I know their Lysine pills are ineffective. If they put out one supplement like that, I won't chance others.

No one wants to pay any more than necessary for supplements. But even if it's the cheapest supplement on the market, it's worthless if it doesn't improve your health.

Where can you find Effective
Affordable Health Supplements?

You can buy them from discount online suppliers like Vitamin World. I get many supplements from them.

But, please be sure to track your results so you know they're working, when you get supplements from a discount supplier, since, as I shared above, you could get some that don't work. (By the way, you can get a free supplement tracker when you sign up for my bi-monthly e-zine, Saving Supplement Solutions, offered above the navigation bar, on the left side.)

If you want to be sure you are getting the highest quality supplements, get them from a place like Life Extension Foundation.

You'll pay more, but you can be sure the ingredients are high quality, and well absorbed by the body.

Stem Enhance2 has been a tremendous boost to our health.
Additionally, many direct sales companies have very high quality health supplements. My top pick, the concentrated super food supplement, that has been such a tremendous boost to our health, is sold that way.

I know I'm healthier in my fifties, than I was in my thirties. And my husband has regained an active life style, in spite of crippling arthritis that necessitated double knee replacement before this supplement was developed.

I'm not a sales person, and I don't like people feeling I'm trying to pressure them into anything, but I'd be dishonest if I didn't give this supplement my highest recommendation.

If you'd like more details check out the preceding link.

Although the last two suggestions are not as economically priced as the supplements you'll get from discount suppliers, if you're facing serious health challenges, it makes sense to give your body the best nutrients you can afford, to help it heal. When you truly understand a supplement enables you to maintain, or regain, your health, you'll probably find a way to afford it.

If you'd like to check out what I've done to be able to afford our supplements, read this SBI Review where I share my ongoing solution. Something similar is available to anyone.

On the other hand, if you don't really expect a supplement to make any difference anyway, you probably wouldn't take it if someone gave it to you! I know, because I've done it a few times and had it happen. Some people are so stubborn they'd rather be sick than have their prejudices proved wrong.

Affordable Health Supplements
or Doctors and Drugs

Drugs and treatments doctors prescribe can be far more deadly than supplements. In fact, they often harm instead of help you! In the August 2006 issue of the Life Extension Magazine there is an article titled "Death by Medicine".

In this fully referenced report, the researchers found that there were 2.2 million bad reactions to prescribed drugs in hospitals each year. There was a whole list of problems cause by conventional medicine, but the worst statistic presented was that conventional medicine caused close to 800,000 deaths yearly. That is a higher number than deaths caused by either heart disease or cancer.

If you'd like to read the complete article, I believe it is available from the Life Extension Foundation. You can check it out by clicking on the "learn more" button on their banner.

Life Extension - Health And Medical Findings.

Please don't misunderstand. I know many in the medical profession are dedicated to helping others, and sincere people. I also know there are times that medicines may save lives.

But isn't it far wiser to use affordable health supplements to preserve health, than to rely on drugs to restore, or prolong it?

In fact, for most health challenges, you're more likely to restore health by using supplements and nutrients to help your body heal, than by going to doctors, and blindly investing in drugs.

Why do I say that?

Because most drugs only treat the symptoms, while at the same time allowing the underlying sickness to worsen.

If you've just been in an accident, please, go to the emergency room, and get treatment...it may save your life!

But, for many other health challenges, affordable health supplements will probably enable you to save far more from the health problems you avoid, then you will ever invest in the supplements you take.

Financing Affordable Health Supplements

Of course the easiest way to get affordable health supplements is to plan them in your budget as you do food, utilities, medicine, and other essentials of life.

If you would like to make supplements a part of your life, but don't have the money in your current budget to cover them, I'd recommend checking out the page I've written about affording health supplements. On it, I share the tips I use to afford the health supplements that have so improved our health.

As the old saying goes "where there is a will, there is a way".

I believe that will be true when you understand affordable health supplements will frequently prevent sickness, or possibly even death.

But, since we all have an unavoidable appointment with death, if you aren't sure you're ready for it, please read the pages I've written about Spiritual Health, to be sure you are ready for your most important appointment.
