Rates of this disease are exploding—will you be next?
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, despite all the dollars dumped into medical care and all the technological advancements we’ve made, as a society we are getting sicker and Sicker and SICKER. One of the disease types that is literally spiraling out of control is autoimmune diseases.
