940: *CANCELLED* Before All Diseases, the Body is Struck by a Surreptitious Disease, the First Disease!

Before inflammation, obesity, diabetes, GERD, Alzheimer's disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, asthma and chronic lung disorders, weakened immune system, infections, and cancer, and before premature aging and death, the body is stricken with the “First Disease.” First Disease sucks the oxygen of your body, stresses your brain, and wears out your immune system. It affects nearly everyone at some point, or during most of their lifetime, and yet it is one of the most overlooked aspects of public health. Throughout this course, we will discuss how the First Disease affects the health of the brain and the body and how to prevent it, or control it when still controllable.
