W and Nancy Pelosi Agree

President Bush and Speaker Pelosi have at least
one thing in common: they'd love to have an
extra $24 Billion to spend.

I'm sure porkers on both sides of the ailse
would be licking their chops over that dough.
(the way they spend it, though, it might not
seem like much to them...but any "B" illions
is nothing to sneeze at.)

And they could have it, if just a few nutritional
supplements were given to a few select groups of people.

A report released this month by the Dietary
Supplement Education Alliance (DSEA)
concluded that the use of dietary supplements
could result in a savings of at least
24 billion in health care costs over a five
year period.

The current report updates a similar report
in 2005 which estimated 5.6 billion dollars
in savings over five years...so things seem to
be getting worse--not better.

The report says that calcium and vitamin D by
postmenopausal women could potentially avoid
776,00 hospitalizations for hip fractures and
a significant number of extended nursing facility
stays for this group, resulting in a savings of
16.1 billion dollars.

If folic acid were used by the 44 million
American women of childbearing age, 600 fewer
infants would be born with neural tube defects,
saving 1.4 billion over five years.

Omega-3 fatty acids (1800 mg/day) for those over the
age of 65 would save 3.2 billion

And just 6 to 10 milligrams lutein with
zeaxanthin per day should save $3.6 billion
by preventing loss of central vision
from macular degeneration.

I talk about three of these four in this month's
Caveman Cuisine newsletter

and I reveal a secret about calcium that
your Mother really needs to know--especially if
she's in menopause.

(and no, it's not 'take more calcium')

"Rapidly escalating health care costs in
the U.S. have severe implications for our
society as a whole," DSEA president
Jon Benninger stated.

This study gives a pretty easy solution to
"... the budgetary problems facing federal
and state health insurance programs,
corporate health cost managers and
individual families."

I can hear the porkers now: Budget problem?
There's no budget problem. We get your
money. We spend it. No problem.

But it all boils down to the individual family.
Your state insurance program won't do it.
Your Corporate health cost manager surely
won't do it.

You've got to do it for yourself...and your
family.

Live like You Mean it...
