But they're not just limited to digestive disorders.
Oh, no. Acidity in the body caused by your diet also
comes out as:
- Arthritis
- Depression
- Migraines
- Lupus
- Fibromylagia
- Chronic fatigue
- High blood pressure
- Heart attacks
- Kidney stones
...and much more
But there's another effect too. One you don't feel
physically.
Instead it hits you right in the old checkbook.
Money. Cash. Dough-re-mi. Moola.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services,
the average price of an office visit with a family
practitioner in the U.S. is around $100, and can go as high
as $265 or more.
It's even worse with a specialist. They average $225 for
a visit, and can be as high as $325 or more.
For just one visit.
That doesn't even include any lab tests or x-rays. They
can add hundreds or thousands to your tab (and help finance
the doc's Mercedes, pool and Hawaiian vacations).
Even if you have insurance, you're talking average co-pays
ranging between $25 and $50 a shot for the office visit
alone, and more for the tests.
Most people see a doctor at least twice a year, and that
number is significantly higher if you're on any
medications.
Considering that fully half of the population of the US
takes prescription drugs, and 2 out of 3 people take some
type of over-the-counter drugs, there's a whole lot of
people sitting on those cold exam tables 5 or 6 times a
year and more.
That translates to up to $300 a year just in co-pays, or
as much as $1,950 with no insurance (or insurance with high
deductibles).
And speaking of drugs, that's another fatal shot to your
checkbook.
The average price of the two "biggies" for acid reflux--
Prevacid and Nexium--is over $200 for a one-month supply.
That's over $2,400 a year!
And even if you have prescription drug coverage, co-pays
can easily add up to $850 a year or more.
Considering all this, it boggles my mind when people use
the excuse that eating healthy is "too expensive."
Huh?
By eating processed, acidic, mis-combined meals you pay
the price with your health, with doctor visits and drugs,
AND with your grocery bill.
And consider all the time lost going back and forth to the
doctor.
That's right--pound for pound, fresh fruits and vegetables
are FAR cheaper than processed food, even considering
coupon savings.
The average price for a 30 oz. frozen pizza is $5.50. The
average price for two pounds (32 oz.) of carrots is $1.99.
You tell me--what's cheaper? And who cares if you have a
$1.00 off coupon when you're spending $3.50 more on the
pizza? All coupons are is you being paid to harm yourself.
Smoke and mirrors.
If you want to stop paying the steep prices of bad eating
habits, all you need to do is make a one-time small
purchase that costs less than a single co-pay for a
doctor's office visit.
You'll be astonished at how much better you feel when you
feed your body right with sinfully good, alkaline forming
foods and easily-digested combinations.
And don't think for a minute that eating healthy means
celery for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The GTNP recipe book has fantastic soup recipes, chili,
lasagna, pasta, Caesar salad, stews, delicious vegetable
side dishes, breads, even desserts!
It works. It's working for hundreds of thousands of
people, including myself. I'm 46 years old, I go to the
doctor once a year for a routine check-up and I'm on no
medications whatsoever.
None. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
Sound good?
Let your "someday" be today. Stop suffering physically
and handing your hard-earned money over to doctors and big
pharma every month.
