Great Product2008-09-25
My dad really enjoyed this product and helped him put on weight during his cancer treatment.
Price on carnation Instant Breakfast VHC 24 on Amazon2008-08-01
I found out about this wonderful product at the cancer treatment center, where my father is receiving radiation therapy for a malignant tumor. Due to this therapy, my 87 year old father has lack of appetite. The cancer nutritionist recommended these protein drinks. Unfortunately the case is expensive for those of us on tight budgets or incomes.I will have to tighten my belt and buy these at our local cancer treatment center for 35.00 dollars a case, which is still cheaper than the lowest price Carnation VHC here on amazon at 29.00 plus shipping, it ends up to be 5.00 plus dollars more on amazon, even at 29.00 dollars a case. If anyone wants to save on shipping and get these drinks at 35.00 and not 40.00 plus, you may think about contacting your local hospital diatician department. Just a thought.

I care for my elderly father who is malnourished due to a digestive disorder. It does not help that he is very picky about what he eats. Getting extra calories into him has been a major trial. We have spent hundreds of dollars on supplements and much more on grocery bills with so much ending up in the garbage. Then this new Instant Breakfast VHC came out. The dietitian gave us samples to try and I prayed it would be something Dad would drink. Whalla! I am thrilled that he enjoying this new product and we are already seeing positive results less than a week into using it. It has a very rich and creamy texture but is not sickeningly sweet. It is even palatable at room temperature which was surprising to us all. It is great as is or mixed in a blender with other flavors. A must try for anyone needing to add calories to their diet.

Mixes well with banana and ice cream in the blender.

Qualifications for Custom LASIK
There are several conditions which make it impossible for a patient to receive the benefits of custom LASIK. Because the custom surgery can involve removing more tissue than standard LASIK, patients with thin corneas may not be eligible for wavefront-guided LASIK surgery. In addition, those with strong nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, as well as those with especially large pupils, may be discouraged from having this surgery.If you are seeking monovision treatment for presbyopia, you will be better off with standard LASIK treatment, since current lasers cannot perform the undercorrection required for proper monovision.If you have few higher-order aberrations and meet the other guidelines for refractive surgery candidates, the benefit of custom LASIK may not be worth the cost for you. You may wish to get more than one eye surgeon's opinion before making this choice.
Supplemental Health Insurance
Supplemental health insurance, is basically insurance that is meant to fill in the gap, usually because your current plan does not cover certain services or the co-pays are too high. Obtaining supplemental health insurance is a good way to avoid paying additional out-of-pocket expenses. Types of supplemental insurance available include hospital indemnity plans and supplemental medical plans that come in a range of coverage levels and types. The most common type of supplemental health insurance is what is known as a Medigap plan. These plans are purchased by Medicare recipients to cover the out-of-pocket medical expenses, not covered by the original Medicare plan.
