"A July 2000 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (jama) presented statistics to show that doctors are the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, in the United States.7 From a separate study commissioned by the Nutrition Institute of America, a more recent article entitled "Death by Medicine" by Drs. Null, Dean, Feldman, and Rasio concludes that the American medical system is the "leading cause of death and injury in the United States." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"These researchers also estimated that the number of deaths due to errors is actually 20 times greater since many go unreported or misreported due to fear of lawsuits and confusion about the actual cause of death. Often doctors mistakenly list the cause of death as the disease, when many times it is actually the toxicity of the drug treatment itself, as with the use of chemo-"therapy." The study puts the blame for these needless deaths on the medical industry." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Pneumonia is the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States. It kills about 100,000 Americans every year, many of them very young, or elderly. It kills about 3.5 million children worldwide every year. To help Hugo, I put him on the following Healing Program. Hugo s Healing Program • Antifungal medication. Drugs such as nystatin could help eliminate the Candida overgrowth in Hugo's gut, which was exacerbating his allergies and contributing to the heavy load that was dragging down his immune system." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Surgeon General, focusing on mental health in 1999, reported that suicide was the eighth leading cause of death and the third leading cause of death for teenagers and that the rate of teen male suicide had tripled since the 1960s. While many Americans are reluctant to criticize our way of life, it is clear that Happy Meals are not quite doing the trick. I have talked to many extremely demoralized adults and teenagers who have been diagnosed with depression. When we humans are seriously depressed, no matter what our age, we routinely become self-absorbed." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"Coronary artery disease (CAD) alone accounted for 494,382 deaths, the single leading cause of death in the United States and the industrialized world. CAD develops when the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle narrow due to plaque buildup. About 335,000 people a year die of sudden cardiac arrest in hospital emergency rooms or before they ever receive medical attention. Think Inflammation, Not Cholesterol Cardiovascular disease (CVD) can kill in an instant by heart attack or stroke. Fifty percent of the time, the very first symptom is cardiac arrest." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "Remember that pharmaceutical therapy, even when appropriately applied, remains the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. We see a big problem brewing because of the common practice of prescribing statins to healthy individuals with no history or evidence of arterial disease. In our opinion, doctors who prescribe these drugs for high cholesterol levels alone, in the absence of previous coronary disease, diabetes, or high CRP, do not practice good medicine." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "The combination is a serious yet unheralded cause of death and suffering in the United States, concluded Mildred Seelig, an Emory University professor of family and preventive medicine, after decades of research. According to Seelig, "Magnesium deficiency intensifies adverse reactions to stress that can be not only life-threatening but life-ending. All stress and trauma, whether physical or emotional, causes a loss of the body's stores of magnesium. And if you don't have enough magnesium to begin with, you run the risk of more serious reactions." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "Remember that the leading cause of death and disability in women is heart disease and stroke. You and Your Doctor We are both information hounds. We regularly attend medical conferences and talk to researchers and clinicians in the fields of cardiology, nutrition, and environmental medicine. Much of our clinical work is innovative and, in a sense, five or ten years ahead of standard care. So, many doctors may not feel comfortable with some of the ideas we discuss in this book. Our methods, however, are based on solid science that we have validated with countless patients." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Mental Health They may not be the leading cause of death, but mental health problems are one of the greatest issues affecting the health of society. About 25% of Americans and Canadians will suffer from a mental health illness at some point during their life. There are many different mental illnesses, varying in their effects on disability, mental function and Mental disorders are the leading cause of age groups. This is a large and disability in North America. complicated health matter." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Summary Cancer is the second leading cause of death in developed countries. Adopting healthier lifestyles such as avoiding tobacco use, increasing physical activity, achieving optimal weight, improving nutrition and avoiding sun exposure can significantly reduce a persons risk of cancer. Over the past decade it has become clear that nutrition plays a major role in cancer. It has been estimated by the World Cancer Research Fund that 30% to 40% of all cancers can be prevented by diet, physical activity and proper body weight management." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"STROKE Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Between 1970 and 1990 the death rate from stroke declined even more quickly than the death rate from coronary heart disease. But then progress in stroke mortality stalled even more abruptly than it did with coronary heart disease. Why? The risk factors for stroke are similar to the risk factors for heart disease, and the lack of progress after 1990 had an even greater effect. In October 2003, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Third Annual Primary Care and Prevention Conference, Dr. Wayne H." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"It is the seventh leading cause of death in the country, and is one of the most frequent causes of limb amputations, blindness, and kidney disease. This rate of death and disablement seems certain to climb, as America's diabetic children reach adulthood. Obesity The obesity epidemic tracks the 4-A epidemics, as well as the diabetes epidemic, and is closely related to them. One link among all of these disorders is the presence of inflammation, which is now regarded as a significant trigger of obesity. Obesity has doubled among children and adolescents during the past twenty years." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Exhaustion itself, leading to suffocation, is generally the cause of death among the approximately 5,500 Americans who die of asthma every year. Fatalities from asthma are now twice as common as they were in 1980, despite advances in hospital crisis care. The main reason for this is simply that during this period the incidence of asthma tripled. In addition, more people have very serious cases of asthma. Without question, we are in the depths of history's worst epidemic of asthma, even though the condition has been recognized since the time of the ancient Greeks." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Keri's diaphragm and chest were exhausted, and exhaustion is the leading cause of death from asthma. To Keri, it felt to her as if someone were smothering her with a wet pillow. Keri felt the shock of this slow drowning all over her body, even in her toes and face, which were beginning to turn purple. The pain in her chest-the one that she called the zipper pain, because it felt as if her lungs were zipped shut-was worse than ever." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"One out of every fourteen people in this country has some form of diabetes, which has become the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes can lead to kidney failure, heart disease, blindness, strokes, and limb amputations, as well as high-risk pregnancies and babies born with birth defects. The Children's Diabetes Foundation puts the cost of treating diabetes and its complications at more than $100 billion per year. And the crisis keeps getting worse. Type 1 diabetes, a genetic disease caused by a malfunctioning pancreas, used to be referred to as "juvenile diabetes." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Cancer—a disease that results from a complex interaction of genes and the environment—is now the leading cause of death by disease for U.S. children between the ages of one and nineteen. Between 1975 and 1998, rates of childhood cancer increased by approximately 21 percent. Certain other cancers—brain tumors, leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and central nervous system malignancies—have grown at an even more rapid rate, about 30 percent over the last two decades. The National Cancer Institute estimates that these rates will continue to climb an additional 1 percent every year." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Take stroke, for example—the third leading cause of death in the United States. The evidence is overwhelming that if you eat to save yourself from heart disease, you eat to save yourself from stroke. There are two types of stroke. In hemorrhagic stroke, the less common of the two, a blood vessel in the brain ruptures because of high blood pressure or a genetic weakness of the vessel wall known as an aneurysm. A plant-based diet cannot do anything to cure a genetic aneurysm. But it will definitely help reduce blood pressure, an important step in the right direction." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Autoimmune diseases are the eighth leading cause of death among women, shortening the average patient's lifespan by fifteen years. Not surprisingly, the economic burden is staggering: autoimmune diseases represent a yearly health-care burden of more than $120 billion, compared to the yearly health-care burden of $70 billion for direct medical costs for cancer. To underscore these numbers, consider: while 2.2 million women are living with breast cancer and 7.2 million women have coronary disease, an estimated 9." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in Western countries; it is more common than all cancers and leukemia combined. What Factors Increase Your Blood Cholesterol? Diet, inactivity and genetic factors all contribute to high cholesterol. Consuming foods that are high in cholesterol and fat or eating too many carbohydrates can increase the body's concentration of cholesterol. Sedentary lifestyles have also been associated with higher cholesterol levels. Cholesterol metabolism is controlled by your DNA. A defect in LDL receptors is known to increase blood cholesterol." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"The leading cause of death for Alzheimer sufferers is starvation: these unfortunate folks forget to eat. Is this just a coincidence or part of a genetic plan? Exposure to small amounts of sugar actually improves short-term memory, probably so you can remember where you found that new fruit tree.28 On the other hand, chronic exposure to sugar kills off short-term memory cells. If you're abusing the privilege, what better way to get you to forget where the sugar bowl is? Scary, yes, but a beautiful design for controlling populations. How about chronic stress?" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"In 1900, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States. Over the next 50 years, the death rate from TB fell by 87 percent. This dramatic decrease in the tuberculosis death rate may appear to be a great triumph for American medicine, but in truth it was entirely due to improvements in the social and physical environment, such as healthier living and working conditions, better nutrition, more education, and greater prosperity." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"In fact, pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of death from malignant disease even though it represents only 5.8 percent of all malignant tumors. The five-year survival rate for all stages is less than 1 percent since it is usually difficult to make an early diagnosis. The tumors grow for a long time period and demonstrate either no or only a few symptoms. At the time of diagnosis, tumor growth beyond the organ itself is seen in 85 percent of the cases, and in 50 percent of the individuals, the regional lymph groups are already affected." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Colon cancer remains the second leading cause of death in our society despite advances in treatment. Yet, the irony is that colon cancer is largely preventable with good health habits—and with the help of an overlooked herb, watercress. Watercress (or the Flor-Essence formula that contains it) probably won't be featured in the Journal of the American Medical Association or the New England Journal of Medicine. This is tragic, since, as we shall demonstrate, watercress is a key colon-health herb." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The policy was intended not merely to relocate authority from the empire's historical core closer to its periphery, but to formalize a peaceful imperial succession—an understandable priority after a century in which the most frequent cause of death among Rome's emperors was assassination. Seventeen centuries after the Third-Century Crisis, the de minimis characteristic of stable government remains the ability of a nation's leader to transfer executive power peacefully . . ." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"In fact, the number two cause of death for women in their twenties and thirties after physical injury is suicide due to depression. Let me begin with the ABCs of depression itself. As is the case with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), psychiatrists have come up with a clinical case definition by consensus. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines a major depressive episode as requiring "at least 2 weeks during which there is either depressed mood or the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"HEART DISEASE g OVERVIEW Most of us are aware that heart disease is a primary affliction for men, but cardiovascular disease (CVD) is also the leading cause of death in women. More than 500,000 women die of cardiovascular-related causes annually in the United States.1 Taking into account other atherosclerotic disorders resulting from damaged and narrowed arteries, such as strokes, almost 4 of every 10 women will die of these diseases, approximately 100,000 prematurely (before the age of 65)." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Given that heart disease is the number-one cause of death in men and women in America, these concepts deserve the attention and respect of individuals and practitioners of all disciplines and all schools of thought. Antioxidant Combinations. Combination nutritional supplements are difficult to evaluate because of the multi-ingredient combinations and the different doses of each single ingredient from one product to another. Numerous observational studies have, however, evaluated the effect of antioxidant combinations on cardiovascular events." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, claiming a half-million lives annually. • Heart disease kills twelve times as many women in the United States as breast cancer. More women die from heart disease than from breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers combined. • Younger women—less than fifty years old—are twice as likely to die if they have a heart attack compared with men. • One in ten women aged forty-five to sixty-four has some form of heart disease. This figure increases to one in five after age sixty-five. • Most heart studies are conducted on men." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Since even one previous attempt multiplies suicide risk by 38 to 40 times, and suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults, a proven way to prevent repeat attempts has important public health implications," said the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Thomas Insel.18 CBT has some highly practical applications. Researchers in the physiotherapy department at King's College, London, administered a cognitive-behavioral pain management program for patients experiencing chronic pain after cancer treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)
