A disease now called fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) first appeared in the USA in the early 1900�s. It incubates in the body for decades before striking, causes progressive degeneration and disability before death, and is now epidemic.
...FMD causes mutations in cells and tissues. These mutations generally take decades to spread through the body, via the blood and lymph vessels. Eventually, FMD leads to heart attack, cancer or stroke � now leading causes of death in the USA and the world. ...the Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery reported in 1993 that death in patients diagnosed with FMD came very slowly, and was caused by:
- heart attacks (44.4%);
- cancer (33.3%); and
- stroke (22.2%).
According to the last publicly available report, FMD in adults in the USA is reported officially at an incidence rate of 1.7% � with 65% of reported cases diagnosed in autopsy.

So every single day of 2003, almost 7,000 American adults were diagnosed in autopsy with FMD, on average � nearly 2.3 million deaths out of a total of 3.5 million new FMD cases reported that year.

Aside from the fact that this disease affects both sexes, causing heart attacks, cancer and stroke - it kills about 7000 people every single day.
...but you're saying you don't think it's a real problem because you're a man and it only affects women?
...do have this right? ...I'm not missing some obscure subtlety here?

Let's leave it at that OK?
And why are you jumping around with this? ...FMD is an inherited disorder
(FMD involves) the ongoing destruction of arterial blood vessels.
...The prostate has noting to do with arterial problems.

Why release a bio-weapon that can eventually wipe out the attacker?
A stealth disease released by whom? ...we are to assume that the U.S. gov't poisoned it's own troops in an era when no U.S. citizen was openly hateful of its' gov't? Why?
