If you have tried other forms of dieting and have been unsuccessful and can afford NutriSystem, it may not be a bad choice. However, I would suggest only buying two weeks worth to begin the diet. There is an option on NutriSystem.com that allows you to choose how many weeks rather than a whole month at a time.
There are approximately 7,000 different types of rare diseases and disorders, with more being discovered each day. 30 million people in the United States are living with rare diseases. This equates to 1 in 10 Americans or 10% of the U.S. population.
Prevalence (number of people living with a disease at a given moment), rather than incidence (number of new diagnoses in a given year), is used to describe the impact of rare diseases. The Global Genes Project estimates some 300 million people worldwide are affected by a rare disease. The European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) estimates that as many as 5,000 to 7,000 distinct rare diseases exist, and as much as 6% to 8% of the population of the European Union is affected by one.
