Vegas Dead BODIES Help Dispel Cancer Myths

As the Day of the Dead approaches, it may be the perfect time to view BODIES…The Exhibition, the fascinating and slightly creepy exhibit that lets you wander among 13 real human bodies that have been meticulously dissected and preserved and then modeled into various forms.  The bodies let you see the skeletal, muscular, respiratory and circulatory systems of humans in action – well, as if they were in action. The exhibit includes bodies that were fit while alive along with those that are damaged by smoking, over eating and lack of exercise, perhaps the most unique way to motivate yourself to change your lifestyle. It is recommended that children 12 and under are accompanied by a teacher or parent as an adult guide.

Going one step further, BODIES… The Exhibition announces BODIES… The Wellness Series, a health and wellness lecture series that has key community leaders speak about how to not make it into the exhibit.

Wellness Series:

· Saturday, October 17 – Dr. Lawrence Gardner of The Breast Center at Sunrise speaks on the myths of breast cancer in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

· Saturday, November 21 – In recognition of the Great American Smokeout, Dr. Eric Moskow of Canyon Gate Medical Group addresses the dangers of smoking.
