There are two separate explanations here. Click here to see #2. #1 is immediately below.
It seems a bit complicated, but....
The retail price of Life Glow had been $70 for one bottle of 300 tablets -- a one month supply, taking ten tablets per day.
For this first batch of improved Life Glow the laboratory has taken those 300 tablets OUT of the bottle, ground them up, added EDTA, and then put them back into capsules. We have about 1,000 bottles that were handled this way. The next batch we order will, of course, skip the tablet step -- the next batch will be made directly into capsules. The next batch will also have EDTA in it.
When this is done, the contents of ONE bottle of tablets is now the equivalent of TWO bottles of capsules. The recommended dosage is now 20 capsules per day rather than 10 tablets per day. So, the TWO bottles, 600 capsules, is still a one month supply. Each bottle now lasts about 15 days.
The price for TWO bottles of capsules is still the same as one bottle of tablets -- $70 -- even though EDTA has been added and even though there are now two bottles, not one. Note that this was done and we are now selling only the new formula =-= Life Glow Plus.
This is a temporary measure to make up to our customers for the fact that we had to change without notice. In other words, even though our costs have gone up because of this change, I didn't want to increase the price at the same time as this big change in the product.
My costs have gone up on this change-over and I will probably announce a price increase. I expect to give some notice on that -- and continue to allow customers to buy at this same $70 price (two bottles) for a while.
The shelf life of these capsules is about 18 months -- so if you are interested in getting in a supply before any price increase you can safely store them for that period of time. The shelf-life of the tablets should have also been 18 months -- although they crumbled, the contents were still safe and good, but that crumbling problem is now solved because we have shifted to capsules.
I will then see what my costs will be and decide on what increase there might have to be. I expect to give about a 30-day notice, on the web, of any price increase. The notice will be published in the new "news and announcements section" which has a navigation link to it on every page -- about 4,000 places on all the web sites.
Most of our customers had been getting a 25% discount and buying four bottles or more at one time. That is, most of our customers were buying a four month supply and paying for a three month supply. That is still true today, March 22, 1999.
You now have to get EIGHT of the bottles of capsules to get the discount. In other words, in the past you would buy 4 bottles of tablets and pay the price of three -- $210.00.
Now you get EIGHT bottles of capsules and pay the price of SIX -- $210.00.
It's like we are now selling Life Glow in "sets" of two bottles for each set.
One set is $70. When you get FOUR SETS, the discounted price is $210.
This seems a bit awkward, but in several more weeks I'll change this so that you can buy one bottle of capsules. It will cost more than half of the price of the old single bottle of tablets. That price is not yet determined.
Please let me know if this isn't clear.

Dear Friend,
I hope this answer will clarify things for you.
We have three types of "Life Glow."
There was the original -- called "Life Glow" with 300 tablets for a one month supply.
Then, many people said the tablets were too large -- and we came up with "Life Glow Easy" the same exact formula, but requiring 30 tablets per day to equal 10 tablets of the "regular" Life Glow. Then a few years ago I wanted to design the best formula I could, and started working on it. When I was done, and heard the cost, I was startled -- I didn't think anyone would buy this. But, I made a batch anyway. Originally this was to be called "Super Life Glow." Originally it was intended to be in tablets. However, the tablets would disintegrate within a few weeks of being made (the same problem later occurred with regular "Life Glow" in tablets).
But, I already had the labels made for Super Life Glow -- showing tablets!
So, we had Super Life Glow made into capsules and put on that label that said tablets. This formula was designed to require 30 capsules per day to get the full, ideal formula I had designed. Eventually we'll fix that label. So, when I examined the Super Life Glow formula I realized that, at the retail price, it would cost $270 for a one-month supply!
Well, I then looked at the quantities of the various ingredients if you were to take 20 capsules per day instead of 30. I felt that the 20 capsules per day was good enough to accomplish most of the goals I had for the Super form of the oral Chelation formula. So, I made an "ingredient sheet" that shows the quantities of each ingredient for when you take 20 capsules per day. That is a fine dosage level. But, if you want the full formula, you would take 30 capsules per day and you would simply take the ingredient list and add half of each ingredient to itself and have the amount for the full formula.
Thus, if Cysteine shows 700 mg in 20 capsules, there would 1,050 mg in 30 capsules. That's the background for Super Life Glow. That is what you ordered the other day.
Now, we were selling the regular Life Glow in large quantity, but in March we discovered that the tablets were disintegrating within a few weeks of leaving our place.
Ah! Woe!
So, I had to face that the fact that we would have to change the regular Life Glow to a capsule product, just as we had had to change the Super Life Glow to capsules.
We took back our entire inventory of regular Life Glow to the laboratory.
They ground them all up into powder and them put the powder into capsules.
That was fine, but I wanted to have an "even number" of capsules == not something like "19 capsules" for a one-day dosage.
Also, coincidentally at that time, I was into very heavy research on the subject of "oral EDTA" and changed my position 180 degrees. I had been a heavy attacker of what I called "fraudulent oral EDTA."
If you are willing to take some time, you can read all about this on my web site, including some very revealing letters I just published today. You get to these "announcements" by clicking on the "news and announcements" link at the top of the home page. That takes you to a list of announcements. Pick the one dated April 25th and read amazing stuff about how the truth about oral EDTA has been deliberately withheld from the very doctors I had used as my source for information about oral EDTA.
The whole story is there.
When I read this material in March (I had it, first, confidentially, and could only publish it now), I realized that I had been wrong about oral EDTA and realized why.
So, when I was remaking the Life Glow from tablets into capsules, I decided to take that opportunity to add 500 mg of oral EDTA to the Life Glow formula.
That is what we have now. Regular Life Glow, but with EDTA added, and in capsules, not tablets. No, there is no MSM in that formula.
Now!
Now, I also realized that there other changes I would like to make in the Life Glow formula. I am not ready to announce those, but I can tell you that the next batch I get made will also have 500 mg of EDTA in them, for the one-day dosage of 20 capsules -- and that there will be other improvements. I will not announce the new formula until I sell the remainder of the batch I have now -- perhaps another month or so.
Which brings me to Super Life Glow. Super Life Glow will also be changed to match the improvements in the regular Life Glow. There will be MSM in these new formulas == and some other very exciting ingredients.
I don't quite know my inventory of Super Life Glow, but it will probably be another two months before I sell our remaining batch of Super Life Glow, and announce the new formula for Super Life Glow.
The regular Life Glow, new formula, will cost more, but will be so much improved that I think people can take only 10 capsules per day for normal needs, and that one bottle, with 300 capsules WILL cost less than the current $70 for a one month supply. Also, the Super Life Glow will change in price, but I may also be able to claim that 10 or 15 capsules of the new Super Life Glow will be so powerful that the cost of a one-month supply will be less than the current $270.
You have the best formula I currently offer -- but within another month there will be something even better.
You will do very well on the formula you have, so not to worry. But, you will like the new ingredients in the regular new Life Glow Plus and the new Super Life Glow.
We will probably phase out Life Glow Easy since the capsules are so easy to swallow that we don't need the third form of the oral Chelation.
Let me know how all this hits you!!!
I realize that some people will tend to wait for the new formula comes out =-= and I obviously don't want to encourage that. We'll get over this little bump in the road, soon, and be moving at high speed with the new formula and some new excitement in the claims that I will be able to make.
Lots going one -- and it's great fun doing all this research and new formulas.
I hope to hear from you.
