Our Vision
A cancer-free world in which every individual is empowered to make informed choices using risk-based strategies to design a life of abundant health, serenity and longevity.
Our Story
It Starts with a Hundred Million!
Just one hundred million.
That's how many cells make a marble-sized tumor.
It takes a single cell anything from five to twenty years to grow that size.
So what can we do to help prevent a cancerous cell from forming? The answer: a lot!
But first, here are a few hair-raising cancer statistics >2023 at time of print:
-
Cancer is the No. 1 disease-related killer in California alone, and No. 2 worldwide.
-
Even though our treatments are getting better all the time, we are already past 20 million cancer survivors in the U.S. alone...
-
... and the average medical expenses for a cancer diagnosis was $150,000 for just the first year.
-
That doesn't include the additional non-monetary costs like physical discomfort and exhaustion, increased anxiety and stress, or the toll on our mental wellbeing, and that of our family and friends.
Waiting for a potential diagnosis is simply too late for most people, especially because of the exponential rate at which cancerous cells can reproduce.
It's time to move upstream!
Here's the kicker: nearly half of cancers are preventable.
The time to take action is during that 5-20 year period that it takes for cancer to develop in the first place.
In other words: while you are still healthy!
And for those we can't prevent, there are risk-based strategies to effectively catch cancer early when it's not yet life-threatening but completely curable.
This is why we do what we do: nobody has to wait until a dreaded diagnosis in order to prevent cancer.
