How can I quit smoking? Where are nice groups and statistics of deaths?
Hello. I smoke about a pack and a half of ciggerettes a day and im 29 yearsold. I been smoking since 15 yearsold
How can I quit smoking completely. I head of people dying at 50 yeasold for smoking. Does that happen often?
Who has the statistics of how many people get cancer that smokes.
I walk down the street and people are smoking like crazy! Its just one guy smoking after another and its the same in the usa as it is in Mexico and other latin american countries. This ciggerette drug goes a long way and seems pretty addictive.
So how many of these people that smoke get cancer and what age do they usually live to?
If I stopped smoking today, would I be able to live untill 100 years old?
What if somebody is 66 years old and they stopped smoking today, would they live to be 100?
I will be waiting for emails.
Hi
At a high rate like you smoke, it’s very plausible that you could develop a melanoma cancer and die relatively young; some people think life is short and that they should enjoy it to the full, until the bill comes around and they’re diagnosed with a terminal disease like cancer. I’m glad to hear you’ve been thinking about it, though, and that you want to quit. While nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco products, it’s actually may of the other chemicals in a cigarette that usually cause the cancer. You can read more about quitting and some methods for you to take a look at here: http://smokefreeme.info/
In particular, take a look at the article on nicotine replacement therapy; I think that’s the most relevant to your case. Best of luck!

Enjoy a “long, Healthy, Happy Life”
So you want to enjoy a long healthy, happy life or should I say, you want to be the “exception to the rule.”
You should know from the start that the “odds” are stacked against you, but by accepting and tackling the challenge you will find it very worthwhile and rewarding, not to mention adding many years of happiness onto your lifespan.
Talking of “lifespan”, lets pause for a moment and think about that.
Its key to differentiate between living a “long life” (lifespan) and living a “long HEALTHY life” (healthspan), which then can translate into the ideal situation where you can enjoy a “LONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE”.
I know of many people, young and old who just exist from day to day with aches and pains, disease and suffering and with many bedridden for a number of years before they die prematurely from one of the modern lifestyle diseases like cancer or heart disease. One can hardly call that “living” or having had a great life.
Most people look forward to retiring after a long period of working and bringing up a family, with a vision of being able to relax, travel and enjoy a long, happy, healthy life with one’s family. The reality, unfortunately is very different for most people.
This dream unfortunately, invariably has a perverse ending in this day and age. Virtually every one of us living a modern lifestyle will be diagnosed with a fatal chronic disease in our lifetime. Most of us will land up having long term expensive drug treatment, causing misery, pain and suffering and eventually death without dignity. At least half of us will be diagnosed with cancer and will be treated by conventional medicine, resulting in a slow painful death after undergoing expensive poisonous chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. Those of us lucky enough to escape cancer will most probably succumb to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s or some other chronic degenerative lifestyle disease.
Supercentenarians
However there are people, who in their early years, were never exposed to the current modern lifestyles, toxic pollution, fast foods, processed foods and pharmaceutical drugs, who have proved that you can “LIVE” a long, healthy and happy life.
The Gerontology Research web site (http://www.grg.org) have a validated worldwide list of living “Supercentenarians”. ( people who are 110 years old or older). There are currently 69 women and 8 men on this list with 25 in the US, 24 in Japan, 26 from other countries and only 2 living in the UK.
So from this you can get a true understanding of “longevity”, but the million dollar question is why do these people live so long ?
Its all about “how we live” and “what we eat” which all boils down to “LIFESTYLE”.
Take Control of Your Lifestyle and Your Healthcare
The key challenge is to want to do this for yourself and your family. The starting point is to take control of your lifestyle and your healthcare by becoming aware and informed and then to take the appropriate actions.
Its hard to accept, but actually NOBODY out there is interested in you and your families healthcare or whether you live a “long, healthy and happy life” or not.
As a matter of fact you will be very surprised to know that there is a whole industry that want just the opposite.
I hear you say “But what about my GP, Gynie, Paede, Oncologist, Cardiologist, etc?, surely they are interested ?”
They should be, but remember each of these people make a living from the “Disease Business” astutely managed and controlled by the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Modern Lifestyles
Its an undeniable fact that in this modern era of toxic air and water pollution, fast fried fatty foods, processed foods, carcinogenic groceries, sugar filled foods and drinks, pesticide poisoned soil, fruit and vegetables, alcohol, smoking, lack of exercise, prescription and recreational drugs; just to name the main culprits; nine out of every ten adults will die prematurely from a serious chronic lifestyle degenerative disease. Very few of these diseases were common just a hundred years ago and are unquestionably caused by our modern lifestyles.
The variety of aches, pains, disease and suffering are as plentiful and as diverse as humankind. Sickness and disease abound and as we all know most of these diseases cause us and our families misery, pain, financial hardships and suffering and in many cases “death”, but sadly most of these deaths could have been prevented.
The Germ Theory
Modern medicine is based on Louis Pasteur’ s (1822-1895) “Germ Theory” where every disease is caused by a specific external germ and is seen to be different. The solution being, specific drugs to address and mask each of these symptoms, of which there are currently hundreds. This was the fatal birth of the “Disease Business” and the most lucrative and protected industry on earth today – the pharmaceutical industry. Although Pasteur was recognized at the time as the father of bacteriology and microbiology based on his “Germ Theory of Medicine”, he was not a medical man and was in direct conflict with other research doctors of the day.
The Cellular Theory
Alternative medicine on the other hand has a holistic, preventative approach and is based on Dr Antoine Bechamp’s (1816-1908) and Claude Bernard’s (1813-1878) “Cellular Theory” which is based on the “healthy terrain” concept. (a healthy inner body).
So what is the healthy terrain? Béchamp began to describe it nearly two hundred years ago, but Claude Bernard finally stated that to maintain a “healthy terrain” (disease free body) there were two factors, which when violated were responsible for every known disease.
1. The necessary Nutrition to feed the bodies numerous cells
2. Toxin free blood, cells and body tissues
One must have proper nutrition and be free of toxins to maintain a “healthy terrain”. He also established that germs were attracted to diseased tissues and cells and were not the cause of the disease, dispelling Pasteur’s “Germ Theory”.
The following paragraph is taken from the Antoine Bechamp website.
“Bechamp was one of France’s most prominent and active researchers and biologists. He taught in universities and medical schools, and published widely on cell biology, disease, botany and related subjects. His would probably be a household name today if it wasn’t for the activities of Louis Pasteur, who history has treated very kindly indeed, considering his fake science, his tendency to steal ideas (mainly from Bechamp), falsify experimental data, and in general make claims which had no basis in fact. “
It is unfortunate that the profit driven “Disease Business” continues to endorse the “Germ Theory” for obvious reasons, despite vast scientific research proving the “Cellular Theory”. Notable work has been done for numerous years by many credible researchers worldwide, with a huge contribution from the Dr Rath Foundation in the USA who have been very active since 1993 when Dr Rath made the first of many new scientifically proven discoveries leading to his Cellular Medicine theory.
Miracles
Modern medicine has made incredible advances over the last decade, specifically in surgical techniques, identification of viruses, burn treatment, trauma and emergency room care. So if you are involved in an accident, these services are essential and often life saving, with these specialist doctors performing lifesaving miracles. Unfortunately not all modern medicine, especially in the area of disease prevention and treatment fits into this category.
The “Modern Medicine” Paradigm
There is however a very different face to modern medicine that affects us all a lot more seriously and frequently. The “modern medicine” paradigm, which promises good health for all and the prevention and cure of disease, has not only failed completely to meet these objectives but has delivered pain, suffering and misery and cost trillions of dollars.
No amount of modern medicine or medical advancement can help you if the drugs are filled with poisonous toxins and have such serious side effects. Similarly no amount of processed or fast foods can provide you the nutrition your body needs to be healthy. Ultimately, if you want optimum health and want to prevent or reverse disease, you have no choice, you must take control of your own healthcare and change your lifestyle.
The Way Forward
So how do you get the awareness and the necessary information to enable you and your family to live a long, healthy, happy life.
Firstly, you must take control of your lifestyle and your healthcare.
Secondly, unless you understand the true nature of what CAUSES disease and death, and how degenerative diseases develop in the body, you will not be able to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family. The earlier you start the quicker you can start living and have peace of mind and not become a “Wasted Life” statistic.
“Wasted Lives”
Did you know that in the UK somebody dies unnecessarily from heart disease every three minutes? Are you or anyone you know a potential candidate for heart disease or any of the other modern scourges, like cancer, diabetes or Alzheimer’s ?
To get a real perspective on the scale of these “wasted lives”, lets look at just a few of the statistics for the UK and the USA. The following are just for the three main killers, heart disease, cancer and modern medicine. Yes ”modern medicine” !
Cancer deaths in the UK – in 2005 there were 153,491 deaths from cancer, according to figures published on the www. cancerresearchuk.org web site.
Cancer deaths in the USA – in 2003 there were 556,902 deaths from cancer according to figures published by the National Centre for Health Statistics.
Heart disease deaths in the UK – 70,000 deaths occur each year with one death every three minutes according to a BBC news article.
Heart disease deaths and statistics in the USA – according to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease is the number 1 killer responsible for 1 million deaths in 2002 with the statistics for various heart conditions showing 1 adult person in 4 suffer from some form of heart disease.
- 50 million suffer from high blood pressure
- 12 million suffer from coronary heart disease
- 6.2 million suffer from angina pectoris
- 7 million suffer from heart attack
- 4.4 million suffer from stroke
- 1.8 million suffer from rheumatic heart disease/fever
- 1 million suffer from congenital cardiovascular defects
- 4.6 million suffer from congestive heart failure
That’s SCARY ! If that’s not got you feeling a little worried, lets look at the most incredible statistic of all, which is the deaths caused by “modern medicine” in the USA. This is the very medicine prescribed by our friendly trusted GP to “supposedly” make us better- makes you think?
In October 2003 the Nutrition Institute of America (NIH) released a report stating that between 1993 and 2003 – Medical mistakes took 7.8 million lives, more deaths than all the wars America fought combined.
A group of researchers meticulously reviewed the statistical evidence and their findings are absolutely shocking. These researchers have authored a paper titled “Death by Medicine” that presents compelling evidence that today’s system frequently causes more harm than good.
This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year.
The following is an excerpt from Death by Medicine
By Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD
“The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.) “
The Naturally Healthy Lifestyle Journey
“Optimum nutrition is the medicine of the future”
Dr Linus Pauling – twice Nobel Prize winner.
We all want to live a long, healthy, happy life with an abundance of energy and vitality, the ability to perform mentally and physically with emotional balance and the lack of disease and disorders. To achieve this we need to embark on a naturally healthy lifestyle journey.
The Miracle Healer
The body is a “miracle healer” made up entirely of molecules from the food we eat and drink, which is what “enables” the body to heal itself and to exist in perfect health. The problem is most of us eat and drink the wrong things which poison the body with toxins that make us ill and expose ourselves to the killer diseases, causing us extreme pain and reducing our life span significantly.

AMERICANS, still trying to find love in a sea of 250 million people?
Your compatability will only be met by a few people in this world. Your odds of finding a soulmate are very slim considering these facts….
47% male 53% female
1/25 citizens residing in usa are “illegal aliens”
4/10 people smoke
3/7 are severely overweight, obese, superobese
18% are underaged to date (or sexual relationship)
4% are mentally retarted
17% are currently obtained or incarcerated in the county, state penn, juvie, or have criminal felon pasts
29% are over the age of 60
6% are off at war
26% are currently married, or engaged
10% are gay/bi
and finally……………… 67% of americans have an iq less than 90
now for a straight, middleaged man in his 30′s i recently confided in a mathematician at latinstein university and he concluded based on the statistics i’ve shown, and even minus the iq and overlapping odds, he concluded that for my basic standards, the odds finding the right girl is nearly 1 in 750 million, or about 6 people on earth. im not perfect
Perhaps if you had a more optimistic outlook on things, you’d have better luck! By the way, Last year, America reached the 300 million mark (population), so your odds are better than you think.
Have a great day. Enjoy your journey.
