Statistics First
Hello and Thank You for stopping by. I thought i would first start 'My Story'(Remember, you have one too) with some stats since we like to know the numbers or the percentages of certain things so that we might get a look into our future, we want to know whats going to happen each day so we can be prepared. Since this is about me ( maybe you too) i will stick with the stats that are important to me.
1.6 Million Americans will be told they have Cancer this year.
Over 550,000 will die from it, making it the number 2 killer of Americans.
40+ Million Americans abuse prescription drugs.
30-40,000 Americans will die from accidental over dose making it the number 1 accidental cause of death among Americans surpassing car accidents.
100,000 Americans will die from adverse side effects of prescription drugs.
180 Million Americans are Prescribed opiates for chronic pain this year(Talk about a lot of numb Americans).
Come back soon and often as i would many,many people to read this so pass the word. Thanks:)
