Early detection of cancer can save your life! JR Berry shares his personal cancer journey in hopes someone may be encouraged to discuss suspicious symptoms with their family doctor so that early diagnosis could hopefully save someone's life. Vaccination against HPV is also available for anyone under the age of 45. Gardasil is safe, effective, and could save your life or your child's life! Talk to your family doctor today!

If you’re 45 or older, have you had your colonoscopy yet? The number one sign of colon cancer is…NOTHING. So just because you don’t have any symptoms, doesn’t mean you don’t have a problem! Get screened! Colonoscopies save lives!!!

The science has not changed—and neither has the position. Vaccines do not cause autism. Patients, health care clinicians and the American people should be able to trust their government for credible, science- and evidence-based health information. https://bit.ly/48AlBZE

Did you know that increased activity could delay Alzheimer's disease progression? A new observational study published yesterday (11/3/2025) in the journal Nature Medicine, found that individuals who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps daily delayed cognitive decline by 3 years, and those who walked 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily delayed cognitive decline by seven years. So get out there and WALK!

Can modest activity levels make a difference?

Wow, 280 pediatric deaths last year from influenza, with 89% of those children being unvaccinated against the flu. So sad, such a preventable thing.
