Whats CHF in currency?

@TheRaccoonsDen: CHF is the Swiss franc. Please let us know if you have any other questions about the video.

The ability to live longer healthier lives is good, but at some point we will outgrow our planets ability to support the population. Do we let the fat and lazy be a burden on a government run health care system? In our society of excess, that would be an unsustainable solution.  Or, do we continue to let the cold hearted capitalistic method keep our population in check. Either way, nature will eventually decide for us. It's just a matter of how much time till that happens.

@WeiSugarD Everything in nature is 'natiral'..... herbal or made in the lab. Its all chemicals, and we are chemical machines.

As a company, shouldn't you be aggressively expanding into developing countries? Talk about a market with growth potential! At the least anti-malarial drugs are needed now. Imagine these markets eventually having millions of middle-income citizens. They will want/need the same pharmaceuticals as advanced nations have enjoyed. Good info-graphic presentation. Shows how preventative care needs to be emphasized and how senior care will create massive opportunities for health professionals.

@MindofaJedi having done the vegan thing on several attempts, it's not the healthiest diet. Animal protein is a fine protein/nutrient source for omnivores. Good diet=Mostly veg's incl small amounts anim. protein. Total avoidance of animal protein would not drastically cut disease. It is the consumption of refined edibles preserved for a long shelf life, not wellness, that contributes to easily preventable diseases/conditions such as endocrine/metabolic issues, autoimmune issues, and cancers.

@Tzendon Interesting philosophy. I'm the exact opposite. I'm more concerned about my life experience here and now while I am conscious of my being. I prefer to write my own destiny and let that story be my eternal soul's legacy. 'In the end all that matters is what you've done.' (yes, that was the line from the Alexander trailer...it neatly sums up my life philosophy)
