is the UN actually trying to kill us off to reduce human population. Nearly every food has "natural and artificial" in it. Why?

Notsure, % can mislead. a jump from 10 cases to 300 cases is a huge % but not big numbers. But still, one would wonder... and what age groups. In general, if this is americans, we live unhealthy lives... obesity, sugar, junk fast foods, fried foods... we live crap lives... sitting around playing video games all day (teens), whether its on their phone or other. So many kids are lazy as heck and first reaction is to "take a break" stairing at their phone or computer. mind poison.

lastly we blast ourselves with EMF's everywhere.

who knows... that's the brilliance of our economic system in latin..."caveat emptor"... and it's hard to trace a problem to the root when you screw up everything:) We are left scrambling to find a cause when we should probably toss out our way of life and go back to what works.

My wife and I have problems in our area we don't have in Europe. GMO's? Water quality?

What's happening to all that fentanyl and all the other drugs brought to USA... go into water supply ultimately?

Seems the rate of emotionally screwed up/sexually confused people is a lot higher... hormonal environment messed up?

[Lliam]

I think all of that stuff. What about the vaccine schedule for children?

[lightbulb27]

Dont know enough. Certainly question giving them so young and in combination... the money motive trumps risk consequences. Whether it's sinister plan to alter/cap human life not sure. It could be easily.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Rise in pharmaceutical use

Rise of chemicals in everything including food

Rise of access to medical technology to diagnose more accurately and sooner

Aging population

Lack of exercise

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Thanks for mh

[Lliam]

I think you nailed it with the rise in pharmaceutical use and chemicals in everything including food.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Yes, it's probably the most devastating thing in my opinion. So many chemicals interacting with each other. If you put all this stuff into a bucket, it'd probably chew through the bucket. Imagine all that in the human body and our water and food.

[Lliam]

And from 1989, vaccines have been essentially unregulated.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Vaccines and the entire supplements industry. I support capitalism 100% but the corrupt relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and regulators is disgraceful.

[Anonymous]

ADHD is an easy one. They did studies with groups ADHD kids and found that kids given a strict healthy diet and exercise improved vastly.

Autism is on the rise probably because its been diagnosed differently than in the past. In the past people with autism may not have been recognised as autistic.

Bipolar in youth may have something to do with increasing rates of illicit drug use and pharmaceutical drugs as well as better diagnosis of Bipolar.

Celiac disease is likely due to the changes made in crops such as wheat that started in the 70s.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is likely caused by various combinations of a sendinary lifestyle, alcohol, poor diet, long work h0ours, drug use, vitamin deficiency.

Uou can add obesity as a factor too. I could go on but a lot of it is clear that all these have increased and they have increased the most in the United States and the reasons are clear we eat too much of the wrong food washed down by a bucket of sugary drink, the food we eat even if healthy is not the food of our ancestors its been modified for greater yields which causes digestion problems and its sprayed with chemicals, then we over drink alcohol and misuse drugs, we are prescribed medication that we may not need in much higher doses than we may need. Taking medication for long periods actually damages organs and if its SSRIs that you don't need alters brain chemistry. In closing we are poisoning ourselves yet scratching our heads as to why we have all these problems.

We also aren't getting enough exercise we sit all day on our asses staring at screens in air-conditioning offices and homes driving between them in air-conditioned cars.

[Lliam]

I agree. Do you think the ever increasing vaccine regimens given to children might also be a factor?

[TrueConfection]

So much has happened. For one thing, every other ad tells us to bully our doctors into prescribing the advertised medication.

There is also a lack of accountability. Parents and teachers demand drugs for kids that were simply never taught to respect others. Someone gets a little sniffle and they run to the doctor for medication... Always asking the doctors to fix all their problems.

Illness, especially mental illness, is now something to brag about. I can't tell you how many times I have overheard people discussing their depression or ailments (in the stores, homes, and even once at the bank). My school age kids deal with teachers and peers who brag about their problems and therapy sessions. The public schools where I live allow for students to take "mental health" days.

Then there are the chemicals. Chemicals in everything we touch, wear, consume, and breathe. If the chemical companies are making us sick and they have the doctors prescribing pharmaceuticals for every ailment and 5 more for every side effect of the first rx.

Anyhow, what do I know? Maybe this is something worth studying instead of studying goldfish on underwater treadmills.

[sage2021]

I've been reading where pregnant women shouldn't take Tylenol. The doctors have always reassured pregnant women that Tylenol is safe to take if you are pregnant.
Now I am reading that women who took Tylenol while pregnant are having babies with autism from it.
I took Tylenol while pregnant and
yes, what they are saying now is true.
There are lawsuits for this. I see them advertised every once in a while.
Even my doctor is sick and has to have another surgery. He has to take the entire month of July off to recover. You just don't expect your doctor to ever be that sick.
These statistics are alarming Lliam!
I'd like to say that a lot of doctor's give you pills like they are handing out M&M's. Each pill has side effects.
Stress is another thing that can make you sick. And the way America is going and changing, we are all getting too stressed out.
Lliam, remember in the old days they had pills that were called Stress Tabs? Wonder what they had in them?

[Lliam]

I never heard about "stress tabs". LOL Isn't it ironic that those pills were find and booze was encouraged, but smoking weed was considered a Class A narcotic?

I agree with you about the ever increasing use of pharmaceuticals.

[midnightmoon05]

That’s how humans become sheeps. We depend on drugs, we depend on the govt. everyone is wasting time dealing with shit…. so we no longer become productive. I don’t know why Americans are so ignorant.
We literally poison our kids with the food we give them. Then they grow up to depend on drugs.
Then they get old to depend even more on drugs.
90% of the stuff are not necessary.
Stop watching TV
The so call “American dream” is an American horror story!

[Astarlessnightsky]

For stuff like diabetis, its most likely directly connected to the increased amount of sugar consumption.

Depression is probably linked to the increased amount of umcertainties and global problems.

Some other deseases like Fibromyalgy is probably a simple case of better diagnosis.

[WindAtMyBack]

The Internet and technology happened. Millions of years of evolution designed humans to do certain types of tasks - which doesn't include sitting on their ass in front of a screen all day.

[Daniela1982]

The farging vaccines and boosters is my guess. Can be stuff in our water or food too.

[Lliam]

It's my guess, too, Daniela.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I know right... all of a sudden everybody is a fucking retard. I was born in 1982 and since I was growing up until now... I'm surrounded by retards. In one form or another... they're still retards. I can run longer than their teenage kids. I'm fucking 40. It wasn't that way when I was that age.

[andreasderjuengere]

Not much has changed.

But through 'newthink' and 'newspeak' the entry level to qualify for this or that ''disorder'' had been set to an extremely low standard.

Good for the younger ones: instead of admitting own failure, it's now very easy to blame a specific ''condition'' for it.

[RealMarek]

Overdiagnosis, less physical activity, more processed/fake foods, reduced access to medical care especially since the ACA, the opioid crisis, and economic repression.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In the past 30 years a lot has changed & the number one thing that changed is our planet’s population.

[exitseven]

All the drugs people take. I am really surprised to see acid and magic mushrooms making such a big comeback. I saw tht stuff screw up a lot of people.

[Ben487]

since 1990 not enough has changed to warrant an increase like that. People are just miss diagnosed or being way to dramatic about small problems.

[Sevenpointfive]

obamacare happened. insurance care providers started losing customers

[leahzrc]

society is failing. The world ends soon

Something is in the water.
