It's a strange headspace you are in, then, Bob.  As I pointed out, even if 
Chopra were a complete charlatan (which is not in evidence), even if you 
bought 
absolutely everything he sold, you'd spend less than a trip for two to a good 
restaurant.  Yet just review in your head for a second on how much you have 
spent on "health care" cost over your life and what the results are.

Sort of like this:

"I betcha that guy's a fake, just out for my money!  Why I'm not going to be 
taken, I'm not going to spend $12 on his book!  See what you've done now, you 
made me lose track of these medical bills I was going over.... let's see ... 
radiologist to read unnecessary ultra sound .. $200 ... drug that would be 
unnecessary if I quit smoking and spaded in the garden ... $500 .... sessions 
with 
a shrink ... $150 each for a toatal this year of $2000 ......   Yes sir!  I'm 
no fool.  I'm not going give that guy $12 for something that may or may not 
work ....   where was I?    Superfluous examination ... $250 .... ninety 
second 
consultation with some specialist or the other .... $300 .....   Geesh!  The 
very thought that I'd throw $12 away like that .....
