In 1971, President Richard Nixon signed the National
Cancer Act, committing federal resources to finding a
cure for cancer. More than 25 years later, cancer is
still the second leading cause of death in the United
States. Nevertheless there is good news to report. The
rate of cancer-related deaths has been significantly
reduced, according to the National Cancer Institute. And
new treatments are being introduced all the time.

We've all had itchy skin, but have you ever
had itchy patches of raised, red, skin covered by a
flaky, white buildup? This is the hallmark sign of a
chronic skin condition known as psoriasis
("sore-I-ah-sis"), which affects more than 4.5 million
adults in the United States. Psoriasis can be mild to
debilitating, depending on what parts of the skin are
affected. Read on to learn more about the causes,
symptoms, and treatment of this skin condition.

RACare™
Rheumatoid arthritis (rue-ma-TOYD arth-write-tis) is a
chronic disease, mainly characterized by inflammation of
the lining, or synovium, of the joints. It can lead to
long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss
of function and disability.

MSCare™
MS is characterized by damage to the myelin
sheath, or covering, surrounding nerves in multiple
areas of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord,
and the optic nerves). Nerves with damaged myelin become
scarred (called plaques, lesions, or sclerosis) and no
longer function normally because it is more difficult to
send electrical signals to the rest of the body without
myelin to "grease" the way.

HEPCare™
The word "hepatitis" means inflammation of
the liver. Rarely, some kinds of hepatitis are not
caused by infection. These non-contagious types of
hepatitis can result from alcohol abuse, certain drugs,
ingestion of toxic substances, or autoimmune disease
(the body's own immune system attacks the liver).
