Dr. Wallach begins the show discussing the annual cost of treating the symptoms of common health challenges. Stating that arthritis costs $626.8 billion annually. While MS (multiple sclerosis) costs $85 billion and heart disease costs $316.8 billion. Contending this is an enormous amount of money to spend on just treating symptoms not curing anything.
