Save Money Here

What does this have to do with your health you may ask? Many times when money gets tight, one thing people do is to stop filling expensive prescriptions they have been told to take to prevent disease, but really don’t make them feel any differently. They may also skip doctor’s visits so that they don’t have to get labs and tests done that may cost them money. What I would like to do here is convince you that visiting us will actually save you money, many times a lot of money.

Walmart, in the past year, has done all of us a huge favor by introducing their $4 dollar drug program, creating a very useful list of effective medications at an amazing price. Now for $4 a month or $10 every 3 months, you can have a medication that will save you thousands of dollars in complications of many common diseases. Compare that to what you spend in take-out or a tank of gas – what a bargain! Every time you visit us, we will review your mediations and switch you to one of these medications if at all possible. They are adding new medications on a regular basis. Many other pharmacies have been forced to do their own cheap lists, creating a very competitive atmosphere from which you will benefit, but only if you come in for regular visits to review your situation. Please visit the page $4 generic drugs to take a look at the lists offered by 6 popular pharmacies - we'll add more as they are offered, but the lists are very similar. You should ask your favorite pharmacy if they will match these prices - I'm pretty sure they will!

If there is no generic equivalent, please go to this site which offers coupons for many of the brand name drugs: http://www.internetdrugcoupons.com/

Giving your car routine maintenance, like oil & transmission fluid changes, will make your car last a long time without major breakdowns (grease is cheaper than steel, as they say). Similarly, getting routine checkups will help us prevent the diseases that will cost you tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in medications, specialists’ care, expensive testing, operations, and nursing homes. Think about those friends and family members you know who don’t take care of themselves and all the problems they have had - many times their bodies were already breaking down in their 50’s & 60’s. Then think about those who never seem to have serious problems and continue to live an active life well into their 70’s and 80’s.

These healthy seniors aren’t just lucky. For the most part, they have paid attention to good advice, ate healthily, exercised regularly, and go to the doctor on a regular basis to get screening for preventable problems. Any detected problems are then dealt with when they are in an early stage, thus preventing serious & very expensive problems down the road. Diseases of the heart, strokes, diabetes, and some of the most common cancers (colon, breast, and prostate) all have very good screening tests to catch them early when they are easily treatable.

They exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight and preserve muscle & bone strength that prevents injury and arthritis. Activity stimulates the mind and prevents depression by activating the serotonin system. A healthy diet keeps their weight at a healthy level and fights heart disease and cancer. They take well proven medications like aspirin, statins, ACE inhibitors, B vitamins, and vitamin D – all shown to have dramatic effects in conserving their health & feeling of well being. They don’t waste money on unproven herbal remedies that are, in many cases, the modern snake oil.

Please visit us on a regular basis so that we can help you save money and keep you healthy! What a bargain!
