Fact or fiction: Is Oregon killing you?
Like many people, Joyce Young thinks Oregon is special. But not in a good way.
A naturopathic doctor, Young moved to Oregon in 1997, attracted by the state's healthy reputation for organic foods, outdoor recreation and environmental awareness.
By last year, she was convinced the state was slowly killing her. She was constantly stuffy, hoarse and suffering aches and pains. In her practice, she saw lots of people coping with diseases, including multiple sclerosis and breast cancer. Digging into statistics, Young noticed high rates of those ailments and diseases such as skin cancer and strokes she thought would be rare in a cloudy, healthy state.
