Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The statistics around health are shocking. According to the World Health Organization, by 2050, one in three American adults will have diabetes. One in eight people aged sixty-five and over currently has Alzheimer's, and that number is expected to rise to one in four within the next twenty years. #2 The statistics on older Americans and the drugs they take are alarming. An average senior citizen who has been diagnosed with just five chronic conditions will be taking twelve different drugs every day to treat them. #3 The pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars every year to advertise their drugs to consumers, and many people are completely unaware of the many ways in which they are being manipulated into taking dangerous and sometimes completely unnecessary drugs. #4 The pharmaceutical industry is not in the business of promoting health; instead, it makes money off disease. And when one market begins to dwindle, it simply creates a new one by inventing yet another disease.
