Add up all those Vitamins and Supplements you buy every month, how
money is that?

At my peak of supplement buying I was spending $250 per month
every month. Then I dumped the supplements and could then
ENJOY SOME HOBBIES I couldn't previously afford.

It's more like $5 a month for me.  I take generic
products, and only the ones that make sense.
That's almost nothing.  I spend more than that
on seaweed, canned corn, or dried pasta.  Much more
on chocolate, frozen fish, or bottled water.

Stopping the natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol)
saved the most money, and it eliminated the tiny
blood hemorrhages that occurred in the thin skin
at the base of my fingernails.  They occur as tiny
dark purple (almost black) lines parallel to the
growth direction of the fingernail.  These hemorrhages
may also be occurring in other parts of the body
where you can't see them.  I don't like the idea
that they might be related to Alzheimer's or other
diseases whose etiology is currently poorly understood.

Stopping vitamin E stopped the hemorrhages very
quickly.  I still get a little vitamin E in the
multivitamin supplement I take, but not enough
to cause those hemorrhages.  Enough to ensure
I don't have a deficiency, but not so much to make
my blood vessels leak into the surrounding tissues.

I am at $34.00 per month. Just vitamins and minerals, but I could
probably save a bit with better shopping. Vitamin K2 is my most
expensive vitamin accounting for a third of my expense (I will
probably go back to regular K).

Probably you listen too much to stupid advertisement on TV.

What could you do with that much money extra per month?

Life is short, stop acting like you'll live diaper-free to 100 years
of age.

I was finally having some FUN in life.


So, how much money did you save?

No, I listened to people HYPE supplements in THIS newsgroup and on
websites forums. People claiming some supplement made their dick grow
or cured cancer.

No, it wasn't tv ads.

Someone tells you that you're falling for a load of shit advice about
supplements; then you decide it's a troll?

Do you call your doctor a troll too?

None. My health care cost would go up by an order of magnitude. I take
fish oil instead of plavix saving a $100/month and get a more effective
result (plavix reduces cardiovascular mortality by 1%, fish oil by 50%).
I take niacin(raises HDL, lowers trigs, increases cholesterol particle
size) and pantethine(lowers LDL) instead of statins drugs and get a more
effective result saving another $100/month. Statins don't improve
cholesterol particle size, hardly raise HDL, lower trigs not as good as
Niacin. The list of how supplements saves money and produces a outcome
goes on.

I smell a troll.
