Health Rising earns from 4-10% on every purchase you make in its Amazon.com store
The Holiday season is here! Forget dragging yourself out to the stores, you can do virtually all your shopping on Amazon.com – and support Health Rising at the same time. Amazon.com will provide Health Rising 4-10% of every purchase you make through our U.S., Canadian or U.K. stores.
The easiest way to shop is by using Amazon.com search box. Simply type the product you want into the search box of the country you live in below, click go and start shopping! Everything you buy during that shopping session will be credited to Health Rising.
(Please note that items already in your shopping cart must be taken out and then added through our search box in order for them to count for Health Rising).

The deals are out there and the money can really add up. Here’s some stuff I’m looking at.
Ideas
Leave it on top of the car and drive away – it will survive!
If you value secure luggage – something you can plop on the top of the car in a spate of brain fog, say, and drive off with (as I did) – without worrying that it’s going to blast apart, I heartily recommend the Halliburton carbon fiber attache at $2,500 ($200 to Health Rising). That’s the kind of bullet-proof luggage I need. Besides I love the red leather interior.
I’ll take better care of this one
Then, there’s the Hasselblad-H5D-50c-Digital Camera. My last years camera is getting a bit long in the tooth (I kept losing the lense caps and the camera took a good tumble when I slung it around my neck – without wrapping it around my neck first) so it’s probably time for a new one. The Hasselblad at 30K ($2,500 to Health Rising) is looking pretty good right now.
No more damaged Matisse’s!
Then, there’s $30,000 off on a late period Rauschenberg Waxworks for only $140,000 ($12,000). He’s not my favorite, but that blank spot in the hallway has been nagging me. (After I accidentally put my hand through the Matisse there I’m not going to put any more masters in that spot!). Plus the color fits – and the price is right.
There’s also the Family Estates First Vintage set of wines (87-89) – “intended for those who seek the inimitable” – for a mere $2,250 ($170 – Health Rising). I’ve always regretted the missing their late 80’s vintages, and after leaving their latest sitting in the car for two weeks in Vegas last summer I’m feeling a little guilty – it definitely didn’t deserve that.
But that’s me – anything you buy supports Health Rising… and we’re grateful for it.
Hi Cort,
I’ve tried to do this in the past, but it’s a mysterious process – as far as I can see there’s no way to tell if it’s actually working (if your purchases are, indeed, doing anything to benefit Health Rising). Unless I’m missing something?
I’ll try again next time I need to restock on supplements. But maybe you could clarify…
In order for the percentage to go towards Health Rising, if you are going to buy multiple items, do you need to come back to the HR search bar to search for each item? Or, once you are “in” through the HR search bar, does everything that you subsequently put into your cart, then count?
Thanks! Martha
Great question, Martha.
I had assumed the so long as you stayed in Amazon.com Health Rising would get credited – but I don’t know now. I started a search and it appeared that the “patients rising” tag that identifies HR disappeared really quickly.
It may be necessary to input each item separately;
I’m putting in a request to find out.
I’ll let you know.
The good news is the good news is that so long as you start your search in Health Rising everything you buy in Amazon during that search is credited to Health Rising’s account. You could, for instance, buy that wine I mentioned and then the Rauschenberg painting 🙂 and it should go to HR.
If you do buy something and want me to check to see if it went through I would be happy to do so..
The only thing you can’t do is put something in your cart before you start the search and then, got to Health Rising’s search box and then buy it. You have to put everything in your cart during the search.
Thanks for asking and thanks for your support! 🙂
Link for U.S. doesn’t appear to work.
Thanks for trying, Steve – I appreciate it.
Several people have tried to click on Amazon.com to get the process started. I don’t know if that’s what you did but the only way to get it started is to put something in the search box….
Does that help?
Hi
I wholeheartly support healthrising and do most of my shopping on Amazon.
Still not clear on how we imput Health Rising in it’s website.
Request feedback,
Wendy
Hi Cort,
Martha articulated my questions (thank you Martha!):
“In order for the percentage to go towards Health Rising, if you are going to buy multiple items, do you need to come back to the HR search bar to search for each item? Or, once you are “in” through the HR search bar, does everything that you subsequently put into your cart, then count?”
I have shopped Amazon twice using your link and plan to continue doing so. I’m grateful for this way of supporting Health Rising and look forward to the clarification to make sure the full purchase counts!
Thanks you guys! The good news is that so long as you start your search in Health Rising everything you buy in Amazon during that search is credited to Health Rising’s account. You could, for instance, buy that wine I mentioned and then the Rauschenberg painting 🙂 and it should go to HR.
If you do buy something and want me to check to see if it went through I would be very happy to do so..(I’d like to see if its working.)

Sure thing, Jan. I’m just glad to know I wasn’t the only one confused…I’m not alone!
Which, in sum, is also why I think this site is so valuable, in general! So, I’m happy to have this way to contribute. And, it makes me feel at least somewhat better about shopping at Amazon. The owner, I’m told, just had to buy himself his own forest in order to source out beams big enough to suit his new pool house. Too bad he couldn’t have purchased that through Health Rising’s Amazon bar!
Thanks for the clarification, Cort. I’ll be sure to shop according to your instructions next time. (And I might then, just out of curiosity, ask you if it actually worked.) Good luck on your Christmas list! Martha
Thanks 🙂
Hi Wendy,
All you need to do is to put an item in the search bar in this page and you’re in Health Rising’s store
The only thing to watch out for is putting stuff in your shopping cart before you start searching on Amazon through the search box on this page.
Thanks for your interest!
That post was hilarious! Now we can all see where Health Rising has been squandering our millions in charitable donations.
I would like to point out that this isn’t just for holidays (right?).
For anyone who might do purchasing for work (or knows someone who does), this is a great opportunity as well. Four percent is a lot better than Amazon Smile at one half a percent.
Also FYI the link doesn’t work if you have installed an ad blocker on your web browser. To those people I’d suggest disabling the blocker temporarily or to just using another browser for the purchase.
Indeed 🙂
Yes – our Amazon.com store is open all year long.
Thanks Tony!
I gather that Amazon pays very little in taxes to the countries where they operate. I therefore appreciate this method of them paying something back to the community! I will put this blog post in my favourites to replace my old Amazon favourite.
Thanks Diane!
Cort,
I order books for my Kindle thru Amazon. Do you have any idea how it would work, especially if I’m ordering from my Kindle?????
I am so grateful for all the information you provide.
Penny
Thanks Penny.
It’s not as easy on a Kindle but it can be done. You simply have to get to the website – this page – on the kindle. I do it by opening the web – searching for cort johnson – that will bring up a list of recent blogs – Click on the Supporting Your Health Rising blog – that will take you to this page – then scroll down to the Amazon.com search bar. (Do not click on Read View – the Amazon.com search bar does not show up in that view.) Then click on categories and go down to the kindle store and you’re in!
It’s a pain to do but you can bookmark the page by going to the square box with the lines in it on the bottom of the page, clicking on that and then clicking on bookmarks. Once you do that simply swipe the kindle from the left hand side of the page to access your bookmarks.
Thanks for your support 🙂
Could you send out a separate email solely with the Amazon.com links for shopping through the Health Rising search box for the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. ? The links for the U.S. and Canada did not show up in this email.
Thank you.
Hi CF – are you using a tablet by chance and clicking on the “read better” or whatever it is button? That button for some reason disappears the search boxes. If that’s the problem not using that button should allow them to appear.
Please let me know if that’s not what’s going on.
We also have the stores on this page – http://www.cortjohnson.org/supporting-health-rising/amazon-com-stores/ – I don’t know if it would be any different, though
Hi Cort,
Hope you’re enjoying a nice holiday weekend.
I saved this page & am now attempting to shop on Amazon through your site.
Unfortunately, it’s not working for me even though I refreshed the page.
Any suggestions? No rush. I know this has been an issue for some others at times.
Thank you!!
Thanks for trying Serenbeth.
Are the search boxes not showing up? Or when you input an item in them and click on “Go” is it not sending you to Amazon.com?
I found out that the search boxes will not show up on Kindle tablets if you click on the “Better view” or whatever is button that enlarges the page.
How does one access Health Rising from the Amazon page, or is it a separate link??
Thanks for asking Linda. What you have to do is get into Amazon.com from Health Rising. To do that put the product you are looking for into the search box for the country you’re in on this page. Once you do that everything you buy should give a credit to HR.
The key is starting with the search boxes on this page. 🙂
Merry Christmas, dear aspiring-Health-Rising-benefiting Amazon shoppers!
If having to empty one’s Amazon Shopping Cart is deterring anyone …. see tips in Step # 1 and #3 … to make it very easy.
1. First, go to Amazon (not through Health Rising). Under each item currently in your Shopping Cart — click on the option: “Save For Later.” Each item will now appear directly below the Shopping Cart list in a “Save For Later” list.
2. Now, go to the Health Rising page. On your country’s Amazon fill-in blank, write the name of one item you’re interested in purchasing. This will relocate you to the Amazon site. From then on, you will be “in” Amazon and can stay there.
3. Next, go to your now empty Shopping Cart. All you need to do next is to scroll down your “Save For Later” list (that’s immediately below your empty Shopping Cart). When you see an item you’re ready to buy — underneath it click on the option: “Move To Cart.” It will move back to your Shopping Cart.
4. You do NOT have to return to Health Rising site again. Just proceed onward as you normally would…adding items to your Shopping Cart from:
— your “Save For Later” list ,,, and also from
— new item searches, as well as from
— “Wish Lists” you may have set up (see in the right margin).
5. A percentage of everything you buy will benefit Health Rising, with everyone’s gratitude.
Thanks Alden – I didn’t know that was possible. Thanks for passing that along – much appreciated 🙂
