Today, I'm writing you from our corporate office down here in sunny Miami Beach, Florida. I usually work out of the New York office, but I decided to come down here on what they call in the 21st century a "working vacation."

(Which - as we all know now - is code for "you can't stop working.")

Like most of you, I have resigned myself to working for a long time. The good news is that the insight that I share with you should put money in your pockets … and by default, it should give you the option of not having to work for as long as you may have had to otherwise.

I was in a retirement community yesterday (or what some may call it an old folks' home) and I met a very nice lady who was about 91 years old.

Anyway, I looked around to see plenty of people who had many different kinds of health issues, and I knew what I was going to share with you right then and there.

Are you ready?

Here are the facts … Roughly 75% of all diseases are not curable.

In other words, when you get them you have to live with them for the rest of your life. By default, this means that only 25% of diseases are curable.

Some of the incurable diseases, I'm fairly certain you are familiar with; hopefully not intimately. Some of them may be diabetes, arthritis, sinusitis, allergies, and heart disease, just to name a few. You might even have these or other chronic conditions, or at the very least have a close friend or family member who does.

Conventional medicine, which pretty much consists of drugs and surgery, has completely let us all down when it comes to treating these chronic conditions. Many of us suffer from chronic pain on a regular basis and take some of these toxic poisons that they call drugs or medicines that are supposed to make us better to treat our suffering.

I want to be absolutely clear here. If you are having a heart attack, definitely go to the emergency room! On the other hand, if you have one of the chronic conditions that I mentioned above, or another chronic condition, then I would strongly suggest that you look towards an alternative path for handling your condition(s).

Research and development costs(R&D) have sky rocketed lately, which has led many drug companies to merge with one another (e.g. Pfizer and Pharmacia) for the benefit of economies of scale and scope. Drug companies have been less concerned with finding cures to diseases and more concerned with making treatments for chronic diseases. Think about it, if you were a drug dealer would you rather give someone one pill and never see that person again or would you like to keep them coming back for their "fix"?

Many times when it comes to drugs, the cure is worse than the actual disease itself. For example, I have a friend who gets migraine headaches often and she has been popping Advil for several years now. She now has an ulcer from taking the Advil for her chronic pain. Get the picture??

Alternative health, namely vitamins, herbs, and supplements along with proper diet and exercise can treat and even cure many chronic conditions, and the majority of the time don't cause the types of side effects that are caused by long-term use of conventional medicine.

The drug and insurance companies do not want you to know about this. They want you to take as many of their "products" as possible. They have brainwashed the majority of Americans and others into thinking that their way is the only way and the right way. They portray other treatments as risky and dangerous and quackery.

Our pain, ladies and gentlemen, has caused us to wake up out of this madness. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The worldwide population of people 65 years old and older is projected to be almost 700 million by 2025!

Many people are starting to wake up to this fact, and the more who do the better it will be for the industry in healthcare that they call drug related products. These are the guys that produce and market vitamins, supplements, alternative health products, etc.

There are a handful of companies in this industry that are diamonds in the rough - with the potential to score big as the public becomes more and more disillusioned with the big drug business - and I will tell you about them … stay tuned.

To be continued …
