ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor.  After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine.  While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine.  From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics.  His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics.  He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline.  We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event.  Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area.  We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance.  Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

Multiple myeloma causes 13,000 deaths each year in the US. It happens due to B cell or plasma cell clone lines. When these grow in the bone marrow, it creates the classic "shotgun" appearance of the skull. 
These are classic cancers in terms of development. B cells await in the periphery ( lymph nodes), waiting for stimulation by an antigen/antibody complex to stimulate clone cell line growth. 

Incidence peaks in the mid-70s. 5 year survival rates average about 50%.It varies dramatically by age and overall health.
