Health Store Bargains

Tommy T asked:


Anybody have a clue about this one? Person in question is 48 female and does NOT have health insurance.
Well if a person suspected that they had a deficiency, possibly because they had a diagnosis such as anemia when they were younger but were unable to see a doctor, is there anything you would recommend they should do?

Dani O asked:


Eye doc told me I was a candidate for lasik surgery, then later denied lasik. Now I am participating in 125/Health Savings plan and need to use approx. $3K or lose the amount. Already gone to dentist and bought glasses. Creative ideas for the rest? Vitamins or supplements? SonicCare toothbrush? I need help!

The health benefit claims from the makers of these probiotic drinking yoghurts have been overwhelmingly dismissed by a team of scientists at the European Food Safety Authority.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/health-claim-of-probiotics-not-accepted-1796375.html

The only reason these manufacturers have been publicly investigated, is that they made health claims. So these authorities are compelled to investigate by law, yet there are endless products making ludicrous claims (usually to do with health and beauty), that get away with it, and are making millions in doing so.

Top of my list is Clairol Herbal Essences Shampoo.

It promises any variety of exotic ingredients from Guavas, Papaya, icy Pineapple (wtf?), Pearl ( eh? ) and Akai berries. Yet they all smell of Hubba Bubba….every single one, no matter what the alleged ingredient.

Milky Way chocolate - Mars have made millions from whipping water. I doubt there is any chocolate in it.

So what product’s claims do you feel suspicious of?
Jess - It’s true that, if something has a scientific sounding name most think it to be more potent than something with a ‘natural’ ingredient and therefore worth the price tag.
JOMAMO- I’m thinking of lots to do with keep fit now - I had a pedometer that recorded 20 paces every time I so much as sniffed or blinked.Do you remember those sauna suit thingies? Like tin foil babygros…*shakes head*
Hypocrite- lololol I hope that’s true ’spillmaster’…from Ronco. I bought something similar that were like crystals and then expanded to gel to mop up spills.Twas crud……
Coneilius- lol @ detox..,if that were possible then we could all do without our Livers

chrstnwrtr asked:


My mother says that I should start taking a daily multivitamin supplement every day now that I’m “growing” (I’m 25). Is it necessary?

Pareidolia asked:


Hey everyone, I’ve been wondering a long time if vitamin supplements (esp. the One-A-Day multivitamin type or product) has been proven effective (esp. in a double-blind study).
Why, what’s in a vitamin pill that’s not in, say, a can of Coke?

veggurl21 asked:


I am a vegetarian because I care about animal suffering, however I also care about the environment and my health. Lately, I have been drinking a bottle vitamin water everyday - mainly the XXX flavor which means triple antioxidants. Vitamin Water of course contains many vitamins including B12. If I drink this consistently everyday, would this be a good alternative to regular vegetarian vitamins?

Maya asked:


I’ve read up on the benefits of apple cider vinegar, and my grandmother swears by it. Does anyone have any experience with it?

And also, would putting it in a fruit smoothie to drown out the taste render it less effective? My grandma says to take it straight with water, but I think I’ll gag!
