With healthcare costs skyrocketing, Dr. Fuhrman says there is a movement toward fighting diseases with natural elements. "Let's not just give more money to drug companies to make a pill to cure cancer," he says. "Let's see if we can prevent it by cleaning up the environment and by eating healthier." Related Resources
