Message from our CEO Brian Talley
Did you know that two out of three Americans are overweight, one of three has either diabetes or pre-diabetes, and cancer is now the number one cause of death? You might be shocked as to the number of toxins the average American is exposed to every day from the food we eat to the kitchen and bath products that we use.
In 1994 my father was diagnosed with breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 1,450 new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed in men each year and approximately 470 men die from breast cancer annually. Male breast cancers account for approximately 1% of all breast cancer cases. Fortunately my father was able to catch the cancer early enough to have it surgically removed. He was diagnosed and treated at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, TX where he was given a biopsy, mastectomy, plastic surgery, and three treatments of radiation. Subsequently, the Susan G Komen research center included him in their breast cancer research due to the rare type of cancer he had.
Due to my desire to see a cure for cancer (and many other diseases and conditions) within my lifetime, I have chosen to donate to the Susan G Komen organization when possible. If you have a similar desire to see a cure for cancer, would you please contribute to this organization as well? Just visit their website and following the instructions to contribute.
Thank You,
Brian Talley
