Surveys show people overestimate the power of pills and procedures to keep them healthy. They continually rely on drugs to save them. Our leading killers aren’t caused by drug deficiencies.

Cleaning up our diets is not only safer and cheaper, but can be more effective in preventing, erasing and reversing some of our leading causes of death because you’re treating the actual cause of the disease.
