WE ALSO TREAT CHILDREN,
YOUNG ADULTS, AND
ADOLESCENTS
Autoimmune diseases, and chronic diseases
in general, tend to run in families. More
children, adolescents, and young adults are
now getting autoimmune diseases. We are
the first program to actively begin preventing
autoimmune disease, and chronic diseases in
general, starting with children, adolescents,
and young adults. By setting the system by
age 19, it is already known that chronic
diseases of adulthood can be prevented.
In addition, by setting the system prior
to having children (prior to conception),
healthier genes can be passed on not only
to the next generation, but even to the
generation after that. In addition to genetics,
certain events early in life can also have a
negative impact on future health. These can
include being born by c-section, not being
breast fed, premature birth and early use of
antibiotics.
