22. IGNITE YOUR HEALTH
The Brutal Facts:
“The United States is experiencing an unsustainable
disease burden – 130 million people today suffer from
chronic illnesses. We spend over $2 trillion a year – about
16 percent of our gross domestic product – on health
care. The vast majority of our health care dollars are spent
treating chronic disease.”
Dr. Richard H. Carmona, MD

Almanac of Chronic Disease, 2008 Edition
24. The present obesity epidemic is both troubling and
informative: Because adiposity is largely caused by
poor diet (excess calories) and inadequate
physical activity, emphases on more downstream
risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and
diabetes address neither the root causes of
obesity nor its full cardiovascular consequences.”

Established and Novel Risk Factors. Circulation 2008;
117:3031-3038
25. DIABETES
“The prevalence of overweight U.S. adults has
increased dramatically during the past 30 years, with
type 2 diabetes representing what is perhaps the most
serious obesity-related consequence.
“Nearly 90% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are
overweight.”

Clinical Diabetes 2008; 26(3):115-120.
26. CANCER
“An abundance of evidence suggests that lifestyle
factors, including exposure to chemical carcinogens,
physical inactivity, and diet play major roles in the
development of common cancers.
“The current human diet contains a variety of mutagens
and carcinogens that lead to the initiation of cancer
and other chronic diseases.”

chronic disease. J Appl Physiol 200598:3-30
Most aware of subluxations when they cause pain Only about 10% of body nerves are pain-sensing What if controlling nerve impulses were reduced to only 80% of normal? What if distorted nerve impulses caused organs to always race at full throttle? Subluxations that interfere with Dr. You are more serious than headaches Could partial, long-standing nerve interference be a factor in cancer?
