A special report in the New England Journal of Medicine found that obesity is now such a significant factor that "it is larger than the negative effect of all accidental deaths combined (e.g., accidents, homicide, and suicide), and there is reason to believe that it will rapidly approach and could exceed the negative effect that ischemic heart disease or cancer has on life expectancy."2 They continue: "From our analysis of the effect of obesity on longevity, we conclude that the steady rise in life expectancy during the past two centuries may soon come to an end.

In the United States there are 700,000 physicians. accidental deaths caused by physicians are 120,000 per year. The risk at dying at the hand of your doctor is therefore substantial. In a recent Harvard University study, researchers found that "long-shift" doctors committed five times as many diagnostic errors as their shorter-shift counterparts. These weren't just errors in diagnosis. In one instance, a long-shifter ordered 10 times the correct dose of a powerful blood-pressure drug.

Some years ago, there were reports that low blood cholesterol levels might be associated with lung, liver, or colon cancer and that they might also contribute to accidental deaths and suicide. For example, one trial from Helsinki, Finland, seemed to have identified more traumatic deaths in patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs.2 But subsequent reanalysis of the Helsinki study and all other trials of the effects of reducing cholesterol levels, with or without drugs, have shown no increased incidence of suicide, accidents, or cancer.

Isn't it amazing that in the last fifty years there have been thousands of "suicides" and accidental deaths by public officials and politicians; however, not one murder? This means that the highest suicide rate and accidental death rate of any occupation is being a public official! Doesn't it make you think or at least suspect foul play and corruption? Politicians repeatedly lie about the fact that they are trying to stop illegal aliens from entering America. This is a flagrant, bold-faced lie. If you have ever been to the Mexican border there are actual holes in the fence!

About 20 percent of home accidental deaths are attributed to alcohol plus alcohol-related domestic violence. Ninety-five percent of alcohol consumed must be metabolized in the liver, taking precedence over other functions. Fat metabolism slows and fat builds up in the liver. Since alcohol converts to fat, obesity (especially abdominal obesity, the most dangerous area) also often occurs with high alcohol use. Chronic use can swell, scar, and shrink the liver, until only a small percentage is functional.

Public Health Service, more accidental deaths result from an excess of barbiturates than from any other type of acute drug poisoning. Sometimes the continued use of sleep-inducing drugs brings about a trance-like state rather than genuine sleep. In such instances, the insomniac cannot remember exactly how many pills he had already swallowed so he takes more. This puts him to sleep permanently. In other cases, people make the dangerous and often fatal blunder of taking sleeping pills just before or shortly after drinking liquor.

Nonfatal injuries in recreational activities such as baseball and softball, basketball, football and bicycling put 191 more than two million people in the emergency room every year.

Here is what McCarrison reported: During the past two and a quarter years there has been no case of illness in the "universe" of albino rats, no death from natural causes in the adult stock, and, but for a few accidental deaths, no infantile mortality. Both clinically and at post-mortem, examination of this stock has been shown to be remarkably free from disease. It may be that some of them have cryptic disease of one kind or another, but if so, I have failed to find either clinical or microscopic evidence of it.

Normally, death data are more reliable than estimates of injury because, unless drugs are responsible, accidental deaths are independently investigated. In this case, however, information about drug-related deaths is notably less reliable than the information about injuries. Most of the individual hospital studies had only a handful of deaths, sometimes just one. Calculating national event rates from such data is pushing estimation toward its limits.

About 20 percent of home accidental deaths are also attributed to alcohol, as are many falls and drownings. Other drugs may also be involved in these accidents and injuries, but alcohol is by far the most common culprit. The suppressant action of alcohol also reduces self-control, judgment, and usual moral sense. Drunk people act out their aggressions, often on their loved ones or strangers as well as themselves. Alcoholics have higher than average suicide rates. The weakened adrenal response from alcohol makes us less able to handle stress.

Thirty percent of accidental deaths in the home are attributed to falls. Misplaced scatter rugs, slippery floors, dimmed lights, electrical cords stretched across corridors, and objects left on stairs are common culprits. Older people are the most vulnerable. More than 80 percent of the people killed by falls each year are over the age of 65. You must first find hazards before you can eliminate them. Check floors in your house for slippery areas. Look for obstacles that can make you trip. Be aware of hazards that can appear unexpectedly.
