supplements [was: help... constipated on NT milk formula...]

February 11, 2002

It's interesting that all three of the supplement companies mentioned

require a doctor or " health care professional " (what does that mean

exactly?) in order to buy. I find that a bit disturbing and I suspect

others might too. Maybe we are so damaged by the health care system

that has pitted the populace against the experts, the " we know it

all, shut up and do what we say " mentality. Not to say that is the

attitude of these vitamin companies or the professionals who use

them. But if I am in good health, well informed, with a scientific

education, and all I want is a supplemental multivitamin -- is it

really necessary for me to see a doctor to get that vitamin? I could

understand if they strongly suggest one should get a professional

evaluation and recommendation. But why won't they take my money

unless I spend more of it on a doctor? Also no one responded to the

post asking for an NT-compatible Bay Area doctor, so maybe there are

none. I went to an " alternative " practice a few years ago on Ocean

Ave. and they charged huge sums of money and sold me supplements I

didn't need right from their office. I'm not trying to be offensive

-- I just suggest the " rolls royce " of supplement companies might

act more like toyota - honest well built products; innovation; and

availability to anyone smart enought to buy from their company.

End of rant.
