Obama’s fault - and planned.

1. Obamacare has crazy high deductibles and ALL health insurance has skyrocketed. People are avoiding doctors.

2. Prescription drug industry which owns both parties was paying doctors to hand out painkillers like candy. Millions of people got hooked. Many have or will die.

3. Obama’s open borders and cooperation with the Sinaloa drug cartel has allowed billions in heroin to cross into the U.S. and destroy families.

The Mexican cartels are sold to sell the drugs to whites and this is part of a coordinated effort to ‘brown out’ the U.S. population. Whites are more likely to become addicted to opiates and they are the targets for these drugs.

This is why they don’t want the wall built. Keep the flow of future welfare-dependent brown-skinned Democrats coming into the country; keep their billion-dollar drug enterprise with kickbacks buying off our government at all levels; and wipe out the white population here through early death.

Source that our government has teamed up with drug cartel:

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-us-government-and-the-sinaloa-cartel-2014-1

Carlos Slim saved the New York Times from bankruptcy with a cash infusion and is the world’s richest man. NYT owned basically by a foreign national.

Where’s Slim make all his money? Phones? Hmmm....

IMO, carbs and sugar from processed food consumed as encouraged by the FDA Food Pyramid and anti-fat messaging has led to widespread obesity and increased metabolic problems. You add other complicating factors like sedentary life style, smoking or drinking and you will in all likelihood end up with heart issues or a stroke.

Wow, IamConservative, you think like I do. I agree exactly. The government anti-saturated fats campaign started in the '70's was a disaster! And pushing polyunsaturated oils. Diabetes and gut-related conditions exploded. Low carb high fat is the way to go! You can cut out 75% of the aisles in the supermarket.

Same thing happened in Russia under Communism. Under Obama, some have started to ask, “Why bother?”

It’s the opiate epidemic. Scads of people under 50 dying form overdoses. You see it in the headlines every day.

I've been prescribed Vicodin for post-surgery pain. I always wondered how people became addicted. I couldn't wait to stop so I could return to normal bowel movements. There was no euphoria or "buzz" from taking the Vicodin. What I have read since is that opiods damage your nerves. The end result is that even though what caused your pain initially may have healed, when you stop the pain meds, you have pain from the nerve damage the meds caused. A case where the cure is worse than the problem in many cases.

Here’s the article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/us-life-expectancy-declines-for-the-first-time-since-1993/2016/12/07/7dcdc7b4-bc93-11e6-91ee-1adddfe36cbe_story.html?tid=pm_pop&utm_term=.3a6f0e51fccb

“Rising fatalities from heart disease and stroke, diabetes, drug overdoses, accidents and other conditions caused the lower life expectancy revealed in a report released Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. In all, death rates rose for eight of the top 10 leading causes of death.”

Reminds me of when they claim Americans are getting shorter. They always leave the demographic thing out.

NO CONNECTION TO PAIN MEDS
ADDICTION https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2015/6/12/there-is-no-epidemic-of-painkiller-overdoses

16K OD’s most were already addicted to street drugs and booze.

No one said a word about script meds causing heart disease, Osteoporosis drugs cause A-FIB. Lack of proper treatment of Thyroid issues lead to an Enlarged Heart. Lyrica will send me to the ER with Chest pain. Gardasil is banned in Spain and Japan, $6M has been paid out in death lawsuits, thousands of girls are on the lawsuit list for damages the vaccine has done to them, my granddaughter is just 1 of them. A healthy teen now has Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, a life time of pain and suffering and horrible drugs to try and control it with a wheel chair in the future.
