Why We Ask for a Prescription

Back when the practice was founded, in 1999, I wrote the State Board of Equalization.  It had come to my attention that prescription medications are not charged sales tax.  I told them I would be prescribing dietary supplements and herbs to treat and prevent diseases and suggested I did not want to charge sales tax on these items because they were being prescribed like pharmaceuticals.  The state wrote back and agreed I do not need to charge sales tax if these items are used in this way.  It is one more way we try to keep your natural medicine affordable.

    Given the cost and effort to get an Major Deity (MD) in this area to prescribe anything other than toxins, I would much rather pay the sales tax. Plus, the cost of a visit with an MD far exceeds the 7.25% tax.

    P.S. In Connie’s case, MD stands for “Magnificent Doctor” in the truest and greatest tradition of the HEALING arts. We miss you and want you back, but alas you’d probably fight Extradition :)
