Silent KILLERS! This is not the title of the latest horror movie, rather, the name given to the diseases that are causing society to suffer significant illness and disease. The so called “modern day” diseases are not new to mankind, but their prevalence and impact on all ages and genders is what frightens most. We hear of 24 year-old, young and perceived healthy men undergoing quadruple heart bypass surgery; of 28 year old females requiring double mastectomies to clear their cancer; of 9 year old boys undergoing liver |
transplants; that the highest pre-scribed medication is Lipitor, used to reduce cholesterol levels; and blood pressure levels that leave one wondering about the timing of an inevitable stroke.
Musculoskeletal 3%, Other 7%, Cancer 46%, Heart and Artery 28%, Nervous System 12%, Eye 4% The purpose of this week’s series is not to focus on the lifestyle changes that can be made to lower the risk of these diseases - this will be dealt with another time. Rather, to highlight and show you what there is to offer in terms of ensuring that should you suffer from an illness in the future, how you should be protecting yourself NOW against the impact that this will have! We look forward to hearing from you soon….
