Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 I just enrolled and am perusing the site. Is it just me, or are the product descriptions very lite? Also, these prices seem insanely expensive! $138 for one 8 oz bottle of coral calcium????? I was buying the same stuff, from the same location (okinawa), for about $22 a bottle!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Back from my nap. Smile. Big mistake below. My price on Coral is $26, so that changes the numbers from $88 to $104 compared to the $138 on the other stuff. But, again, that is my discounted price. Compared to the normal retail, I don't think their price is horrible. Not the best, but not horrible. Not if it is good stuff.

I was buying the same stuff, from the same location (okinawa), for about $22 a bottle! ---------------------------------- On the subject of Coral calcium, beware!. I know a Dr. in New Jersey who has purchased and tested every coral on the market he could find, and had some sent to him to be tested and he was shocked to find that the only pure one that was what it said it was, was Dr. Barefoots brand. He really was shocked. Some of the less expensive ones were nothing more than beach sand and some had as little as ten percent coral. Real coral is not cheap. And 8 oz of pure coral is alot of coral and so, tho I haven't figured it out in milligrams, $138 might actually be somewhat fair. The stuff I sell, is Dr. B's and there are only 60 caps and recommended retail is $35. (my price is $22) If I opened all those caps up and dumped the contents, it would be 15 teaspoons. 1/4 tsp equals one cap. Okay so, 1/4 cup is 16 tsp. and that is also 2 oz. So four of those would approximately make up one 8 oz bottle of bulk. Well, minus four teaspoons, or 16 caps. Okay so, four time the recommended retail of $35 would be $140. At my price the same amount would be about $88. Okay, lol, so I guess it isn't a great deal, but it isn't a major rip off either. BUT, I would not buy any coral product besides Dr. B's brand, without asking for proof that it is pure. And independant lab test for instance. I just know too much about the behind the scenes out and out scamming that is going on in this industry to trust anyone. I am really, really tired right now and feeling semi concious, so if someone catches a math error here, please correct me.
