The Wellness Revolution

November 2007 Your Business at Home

One of the most lucrative financial opportunities is yours for the taking.  Wellness is a $500 billion industry.           by Paul Zane Pilser

As baby boomers age, they begin to desire the one thing that will allow them to continue to enjoy the wealth they have accumulated--WELLNESS....As baby boomers reach their 60s, wellness is becoming an investment more of our population is turning toward.  Health is becoming an investment affordable to almost everyone, and the dividends are priceless....The sickness vs. Wellness industry...The $2 trillion we spend on medical care, which represents one-sixth of the U.S. economy, is concerned almost exclusively with treating the symptoms of illness.  It has very little to do with preventing illness or making people feel stronger or healthier.....the wellness industry includes products and services that promote wellness rather than respond to illness--this includes nutritional supplements....

The"new"Wellness Revolution

In the 1990s, I stumbled onto the wellness industry quite by accident.  For 10 years(against medical advice) I had put off getting expensive knee surgery.  Experiencing chronic pain, I began to take a supplement--glucosamine--and within a year, the cartilage was repaired.  My surgeon was positively amazed when he examined my X-rays; I no longer needed surgery.

I began to take a look at the true health and wellness products available--pure water, nutritional supplements.....anti-aging therapies and alternative medical care....I was stunned to learn that an industry that had barely existed a decade before was already a $200 billion business--and it was just getting started...
