U.S. life expectancy and why it is dropping. February 12, 2018

U.S. life expectancy has decreased for the second year in a row, and an editorial in the BMJ points to three contributing factors: drugs, alcohol and suicides, particularly among middle-age white Americans and those living in rural communities.
 Drugs, Alcohol and Suicide Are Causing Life Expectancy in America to Drop Dramatically

       According to article American's life expectancy started to get shorter after 1980. To big surprise, it was the year when WHO adapted diagnose of diabetes type 2, the type of diabetes which was presented as insulin independent type of diabetes. Follow up more and more diabetics were  diagnosed with this mysterious medical condition which has no diagnostic tools. The same as any type of diabetes diagnose based on the abnormally elevated level of sugar in blood. Then type of diabetes diagnosed according to BMI, another mystery of diagnostic development based on the body under-nutrition formula developed back in 1850. No any mystery that diabetes type 2 became first epidemic, and now it is already pandemic.
        As to why U.S. life expectancy is declining, Woolf (Steven Woolf, director of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University) says that many people point toward the current opioid epidemic. “That’s certainly a big factor, but it’s also a larger problem that’s been going on for decades,” he says. “We know there are deeper systemic causes, that paint a picture of hopelessness and despair and struggling with difficult living conditions.”
      Opioid epidemic, why it is commoners, people who is not drug addicts, started suddenly take drugs?  There are two factors: one it is pain we live and when it strike we will do everything to get rid of it; and second, it is MD who Rx opioids as pain killers as early as it is possible to get patient to the hook. In America where millions of Americans do not have health insurance it is very important to 'go fishing' early. Then this victim would be on hook for many many years. Where this opioids come from? Most of them come from medical clinics.  So simple. We trust in MD. Then we are hooked.
In 2013, Woolf and his co-author Laudan Aron, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, published a study that found that Americans have poorer health in many areas—including birth outcomes, injuries, homicides, adolescent pregnancies, HIV/AIDS rates, obesity, diabetes and heart disease—when compared to other high-income countries. They also cite lifestyle factors such as high-calorie diets, drug abuse, gun ownership, living in cities designed for cars instead of pedestrians and lack of universal health care as likely contributors.
        WOW! so many contributors! It is interesting to know that gun ownership shorten lives of Americans. Is this really true? Or this is one of the brain washing tools to fool Americans? Really, how my diagnose of diabetes type 2 connected with  gun ownership in Taxes?The matter of fact, maybe gun ownership saved many lives, prevented crimes to overtake the country? It is often published how 2 years old kill someone. Why there is no one killed in homes where open fire every day used to cook? Let us start to get rid of fire because of it is very danger and kids can play with it easily. Do they? No. Kids do not play with fire. The same I would say about gun. In many homes there are kids who grow up with guns at home. They do not play with guns. Only with toy guns. Kids are not so stupid how it is presented. In it adults who let kids play with guns. But those adults would find any other ways. In NYC there was fire. Kid has history to play with stove. Did adult knew it? They did.
      High calorie diet, where this come from? Of cause, if we are obese then it is because of our diet, right? No attention that it is severe edema. And diabetes type 2, this mysterious diabetes type 2, number one killer in America. Give to diabetic type 2 Lantus Solo Star in stead of all that Trash Medicine, and no obesity, no pain, no heart attacks or strokes in middle life.
      Recently I read someone posted that price to insulin raised from $21 to $225 for one vial. Really? What type of insulin is that? Lantus is number one medicine in present time to treat diabetes type 2. Lantus can be in vial or in pen. In pen it is Lantus Solostar , 300 units each pen, 5 pens in one box, less then $100 each pen. I would not say insulin is cheap. Still it is affordable if treatment started early. The problem is not in price of insulin but in ADA recommendations that diabetes type 2 can be prevented or reverse with life style modifications and diets. Never. Diabetes must be treated as soon as it was diagnosed and with insulin, regardless of size of middle area and age.
      Finally,  alcohol. Who recommend alcohol in moderate amount to take one glass red wine every day? MD.
Between 1999 and 2014, the suicide rate rose by 24%, with the sharpest increases among white Americans ages 25 to 59, people with limited education, women and people in rural counties.
 Obesity. Edema. Diabetes type 2. What all is this? Abuse. Mocking. Everywhere we go. Say me, how edema treated? No treatment for edema. How kidney or heart failure treated? Diuretics. Water pills. Body get wider and wider. Barking Therapy and Bathroom Scale Therapy. This is all what we do have. Most popular is Weight Loss Surgery. MD recommend alcohol after surgery to reduce hunger. After three years suffering many victims gain weight. Hope lost. Depression.
     It is easy to blame victims that it is limited education. IS that really true that it is I must be educated? What about MD? MD do have own interests, and we have to fight for our lives and confront MD. How many of us can do it?
But experts have suggested that economic hardships, the collapse of local industries, and the loss of security held by previous generations have hit white Americans harder in recent years.
Social Security collect most taxes. What Americans able to get back? Medicaid for those who do have low income. No one weight American has qualifications to meet these rule. The income for two must be less then $1100 in NYC. Even after family lost income the unemployment check is higher then  requirements. No Medicaid. No Medicine. No Insulin. This who has low income, SSI would be $750 for each of two, $1500 total. Medicaid. Free. Insulin without co=pay.
 “Its social contract is weaker than in other countries—those in need have less access to social services, healthcare, or the prevention and treatment of mental illness and addiction. The ‘American dream’ is increasingly out of reach, as social mobility declines and fewer children face a better future than their parents.”
 As fake as it is. It is middle class Americans who has no health care. Those without income has all what they need, housing health care, and food stamps. We have nothing. BE honest at once.
