Hepatitis C Now Kills More Americans Than HIV

.

Middle-aged most often affected, and many are unaware they have been infected, CDC says.

Deaths from hepatitis C have increased steadily in the United States in recent years, in part because many people don’t know they have disease, a new government report says.

More Americans now die of hepatitis C than from HIV, the AIDS-causing virus, according to 1999-2007 data reviewed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And most of those dying are middle-aged.

From same article:

“Seventy-three percent of hepatitis C deaths were reported among those 45 to 64 years old,” Holmberg said. “As the population living with hepatitis C in the United States — 66 percent of whom were born between 1945 and 1964 — has aged and entered a high-risk period of life for hepatitis C-related disease, deaths associated with hepatitis C have increased substantially.”

Warning Signs of Stroke

Leave a comment

A friend sent me the STR info in an email.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank Goodness for the sense to remember the ‘3’ steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A

SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(I.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is

‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

.

.Here is another way to say almost the same thing.  Both are good

.

.This is great info that may save the life of a loved one.

I hope this lady will be ok.  I have been following this story and it just didn’t make sense to me.  Maybe someone out there can explain why people would pay money to see her eat.

What Does A Heart Attack Feel Like?

Leave a comment

Click link below picture of man holding chest for heart attack symptoms

Even though the First Lady ‘Michelle Obama has been pushing a program ‘Move’ in an attempt to at least make the youth of America more healthy you have republicans criticizing her body type. When the one’s with the loudest mouths are poor examples of good health.

[Here is an example.

Jim Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin Congressman, Says Michelle Obama Has A ‘Large Posterior’

]

I digress,

Each year in the US there are:

1.25 million who suffer a heart attack ( 650,000 new events and 450,000 recurrences)

600,000 will who have a stroke (500,000 new events and 100,000 recurrences).

I personally know some of these people, please take heed and read the article below, don’t suffer unnecessarily and risk death.

[

Heart attacks can come on with no warning, or symptoms can begin slowly and mildly.
