The social modernization is accompanied with high incidence of diseases of civilization such as cancer, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and gout. The development of these diseases is usually a chronic course, and their sudden aggravation is manifested with grievous clinical symptoms and signs, hospitalization and medication; therefore, current medical practice is a therapeutic mode post disease development which emphasizes treatment instead of prevention. Nevertheless, the therapeutic mode not only causes severe complications of diseases but also results into much suffering on patients. As a result, a preventive medical mode should be imminently established so that medical professionals can eliminate risk factors before disease development, discover and treat diseases at their early stage. Moreover, the preventive medical practice mode will significantly reduce disease incidence, mortality and morbidity, and improve the quality of life, and prolong life expectancy.

In the preventive medical practice mode, lifestyle modification and chemical measures such as natural health products are employed before disease development in an active manner other than the passive way of current medical practice where medication is initialized after disease occurrence. The discovery of stem cells and their relation with functional somatic cells make more efficient the disease prevention by stem cell stimulating chemicals, and the latter can mobilize stem cells to replace and replenish aging or injured cells and even repair organ and tissue functions; therefore, chronic diseases will be prevented effectively.

Due to the systemicity of chronic diseases, their prevention requires a consistent and persistent lifestyle modification and prophylactic drug use. Furthermore, prophylactic drugs must possess a pluripotent property and a wide spectrum of pharmacological actions as well as high safety. Thus, chemicals from natural sources are more promising than artificial chemical or man-made compounds for the long-term prevention of chronic diseases. The Pegasus Pharmaceuticals Group Inc. (“The Pegasus” thereafter) is specialized in research and development of natural and herbal drugs. Thanks to two patented and proprietary technologies – OBET and SMCD, its products feature high oral bioavailability and well-characterized ingredients and safety, implying their promising role in preventive medicine.

It is a systems engineering to establish a global preventive medical system which requires an arsenal of well-proven preventive drugs, and also a center for large-scale data collection and analysis of chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease in effort to monitor effectiveness and safety of preventive drugs. The wide spread use of effective preventive drugs will eventually bring human both health wellness and economic benefits.

After achieving accomplishments in therapeutic drugs development and clinical industry, the Pegasus has shifted its focus to disease prevention and currently promotes its world-leading drugs for disease prevention. The strategic goal of the Pegasus is to establish a global network of preventive medicine which will effectively prevent chronic diseases and extend life expectancy; the Pegasus’s future endeavor will make enormous contribution to human health.
