Why fund CAM research when there is much media focus at the national and state level on Universal Healthcare or Healthcare Reform?
AlterMed Research Foundation is addressing a separate issue than how everyone can have healthcare insurance. We are focused on the individual who has a degenerate disease that our mainstream healthcare has not been able to treat or prevent. To that individual, it matters. Chronic diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the U.S. Chronic diseases that our conventional medicine have not been able to address is a common human concern; even if we do not deal with it ourselves today, most of us have family members or friends that do.
