We are in a state of a global health crisis!
Chronic diseases are getting out of control. These are diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes and they are assuming epidemic proportions. 35 million people are impacted globally and at the current rate – it is going to impact 41 million people by 2015.
In fact the incidence of chronic diseases is growing faster than the population itself. The problem has become so large and foreboding that the WHO published a special report on chronic diseases impacting the world populations.
In that report they sound a strong alarm….pointing out that the problem is huge…and we NEED to do something about it or we are in big trouble.
