" The main cause of death in the USA is heart disease; second is

cancer; and third is - Western medical treatment. 250,000 people die each

year. In July, 2000, the Journal of the American Medical Association stated

that 7,000 die annually from being given the wrong treatment. Amazingly,

106,000 die from being given the prescribed treatment. All three can be

avoided by improvements in diet. " -- Dr. Mercola

- I would search Mercola's site - if you need help with that, email

me and I'll help you.
