A big scare these days is the skyrocketing cost of medical care, with estimates that the system will be broke by such-n-such a year. A big cry goes up for better preventive care, and in the next breath the medical community calls for more frequent screening to allow early detection, as though that will reduce the cost of health. The only thing that will really reduce the cost of medical care is if people stop getting sick until much later in life, and then don't fight death with every high-tech weapon available when finally on the way out.We are living longer - average life span in the US has increased dramatically since 1900. This is largely because we have defeated those infectious diseases such as pneumonia, parasitic illnesses, infant mortality and childhood diseases. However, these have now been replaced by heart/vascular disease, cancer, diabetes and dementia, all of which are inflammation-related degenerative diseases of aging. The primary issue with these pathways to death is that they take a long time to play out and treatment of these conditions is very, very expensive.

The word 'cocaine' alludes to the drug in a powder form as well as a crystal form, which is smoked. It comes from the cocoa plant and, next to methamphetamine, creates the best mental reliance of any drug. In the short term, cocaine causes a transient intense high that's immediately followed by deep feelings of depression, edginess and a longing for more of the drug.Users regularly don't eat or sleep correctly and can experience seriously increased heart beat rate, muscle seizures and convulsions. Cocaine users can get paranoid, irritated, antagonistic and concerned, even if they are not'high'. Some of the long-term effects, as well as those noted above, may cause bad temper, mood disturbances, restlessness, paranoia and auditory hallucinations.Tolerance to cocaine develops so the person wants more to provide the same level of'high', so that the person increasingly'has' to use more to reach the sensation they are after. Being mixed up in the throes of cocaine addiction is terribly upsetting as the individual feels the lows that come from the'come down'. These lows escalate more, making the individual separate out more from friends and family as he withdraws more into himself and...more
