The value of prevention is not only that you can avoid injury and illness, you’re not subject to medical mistake, which is a larger problem than you may think.

Here’s a website that rates your risk of getting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and stroke.  While the site is owned by a respected hospital that may profit from these diseases there is no reason to believe that influences the quality of the information.

If you think you might be vulnerable to any of these problems, take the quizzes. They're a good way to learn what modern medicine currently deems important in lowering your chances of suffering from any one of these illnesses. 

Reducing your likelihood of getting sick has a huge hidden benefit. You eliminate the possibility of suffering the many problems caused by treating your illness or injury. 

Steering clear of modern  medicine may save your life. Doctors, like everyone else, make plenty of mistakes. While no one knows for sure how many people clip out each year due to medical errors, it has been estimated that around 250,000 die in the U.S . The estimate may be higher if you don’t like medical doctors and lower if you are one. In any case, if you’re in a hospital it’s discomforting to read headlines that state: “Doctors Are the Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.” 

 or "Medical Error Is The Fifth-Leading Cause of Death In The U.S."

Take the quizzes if you want to know how you might reduce your likelihood of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke and iatrogenic  illness and death.
