What’s the biggest health scourge America faces today?
Heart disease is a good answer. It kills more Americans than anything else.

What’s the biggest public health disaster in American history?
The polio epidemic is a good guess. It crippled more than 300,000 and killed about 20,000 in the U.S. before a vaccine was developed in the 1950s.[1]

Breast cancer may be the single most-feared disease among women. More than 260,000 American women get it every year. It kills more than 40,000 of them.[1]
Mastectomies and chemotherapy are the first-line treatments.
Mastectomies are disfiguring and traumatic. And if the cancer isn’t caught early before it spreads, they often do little good.
Chemo can slow the disease. But the side effects can damage the quality of what little life a patient may have left.… Read More
There are few things more horrible than watching a loved one die of Alzheimer’s. Each day they lose more of themselves.
Not only does the disease destroy their memory and intelligence, but it wipes out their personality. It takes away the very essence of who they are.
