We must continue to fight for funding for health technologies so that they can continue to do what they do best - save lives - but also because they confer a real benefit to America's economy.

In other words we have marketed our way into this health crisis.

Millions of Americans today are taking dietary supplements, practicing yoga and integrating other natural therapies into their lives.

As soon as we find a cure, we will utilize any of the donations to go toward providing medication to those who can't afford it. That is my goal.

We must take action now, by permitting re-importation, to ensure that health care and prescription drugs remain accessible and affordable for everyone.

This healthy eating stuff, it's here to stay, and we now have everything we need to seize the opportunity and give all our kids the healthy futures they so richly deserve.

We are trying to find drugs, small molecules, that people could take to make them disease-resistant, more youthful and healthy. Eventually we will find them.
