The Spread Of Ideas

This is an interesting story about the spread of ideas that change routines and lead to saving lives. It takes time and trust to change for a person and a society. America faces this problem today with the epidemics of preventable chronic diseases where the answer is a change in lifestyles. Not an easy situation to be sure. Rather than a solution, health insurance as currently structured may be part of the problem. I despair when someone taking multiple medications comes to see me. It takes time and lots of support to back them out of that situation and start them on a different path.
