Why Create a Support Team?

A Support Team/Caring Community Contributes to Healing, Health and Longevity
	As Dean Ornish, M.D., wrote in his best-selling book, "Love & Survival":
		"Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, . . . what makes us suffer and what leads to healing. If a new drug had the same impact, virtually every doctor in the country would be recommending it for their patients.

Benefits of Creating A Support Team:
	The beneficial effects of strong social ties on longevity, preventing illness or recurrence of disease, prolonging remission, and on the healing process itself, are well documented in numerous medical studies undertaken during the last several decades. These benefits are known as the "Roseto Effect
