Every disease has its unique course it takes in the body when left untreated. 

The process begins with exposure to a root cause that sends a ripple effect throughout the body.

 The disease then progresses, ultimately resolving in one of three possible outcomes: you get better, you stay chronically ill, or you die. 

Sometimes, despite centuries of medical advancement, the disease wins. 

It takes over our cells one by one, until the damage can no longer be reversed. 

When that happens, all you can do is take the loss and move on.

 But when you can change the course of someone's disease, you can change the course of their life.
