Disaster is pending and most people aren’t even aware.</p> <p>According to some new stats, not only are we on the Titanic, but we’ve already hit the iceberg! 70% of adults are on at least one prescription medication, and that number quadruples after age 65. 71% of the population is overweight and 40% of those are classified as obese. On top of all this, there has been a 62% decrease in sperm count in men in the last 50 years!</p> <p>Dr. Martin calls the entire situation an unmitigated disaster because it’s already here.
