Cancer.
Diabetes.
Lung disease.
Heart diseases.
Stroke.

These noncommunicable diseases are the world's biggest killers, responsible for 7 out of every 10 deaths worldwide.

Today more than ever, we need your help to #BeatNCDs & promote #MentalHealth!

#UNGA
The #UNGA High-level meeting on noncommunicable diseases just started! Let’s #BeatNCDs
📺 live: bit.ly/2Ojacoq via @UNWebTV
“Noncommunicable diseases are widespread. I call on you leaders to fulfil commitments you already made to integrate action on NCDs”—@AminaJMohammed, @UN Deputy Secretary-General at the #UNGA high-level meeting to #beatNCDs
"Noncommunicable diseases kill 41 million people prematurely every year, many of them in the prime of life. But we could prevent nearly 10 million of those deaths by 2025." - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA
"The diseases & conditions we are here to discuss are not just labels. They’re a living reality for millions of people. They’re a cause of needless suffering, expense & death for people in this room. For people in our families. For the people you represent"- @DrTedros #UNGA
"At the current pace, less than half the world’s countries will meet the @GlobalGoalsUN target of reducing premature mortality from NCDs by one-third by 2030"— @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA
"Increasing tobacco taxes.
Restricting alcohol advertising.
Reformulating food products with less salt, sugar and fat.
Vaccinating girls against cervical cancer.
Treating hypertension and diabetes." - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA bit.ly/2NE9Mc6
"If implemented globally, the NCDs best buys will save 10 million lives by 2025 globally, and prevent 17 million strokes and heart attacks by 2030 in the poorest countries. But the benefits go beyond health"— @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA bit.ly/2NE9Mc6
"The benefits of best buys go beyond health. They can also be a powerful economic tool. Every dollar invested in the best buys will yield a return of at least seven dollars by 2030." - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA bit.ly/2NE9Mc6
“La salud pública es asunto de todos. Es hora de actuar y vencer las enfermedades no transmisibles”—Presidente Tabaré Vázquez de #Uruguay durante la reunión #UNGA sobre ENT #BeatNCDs
"The best buys are no-brainers. They’re like a toolbox. But the thing about tools is that they only work if you get them out of the box and use them.
It takes a decision.
It takes intent.
It takes political will" - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA bit.ly/2NE9Mc6
"I am proposing to create a coalition of champions that will catalyse a global movement at the highest political levels to make bold choices for Noncommunicable diseases”—
@DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA

"Universal health coverage, based on strong health systems that deliver people-centred primary care, are the bedrock of the healthier, safer, fairer world we all want" - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA
"Together, we can save lives and build the healthier, safer, fairer world we all want." - @DrTedros #BeatNCDs #UNGA

Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, more than 70 million people have acquired the infection, and about 35 million people have died.
Today, around 37 million worldwide live with #HIV, of whom 22 million are on treatment #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW
The #HIV virus 🦠 was first isolated by Dr Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Dr Luc Montagnier in 1983 at the @institutpasteur #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW
At the beginning of the 1980s, before #HIV had been identified as the cause of AIDS, the infection was thought to only affect specific groups, such as gay men in developed countries and people who inject drugs #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW

"We’re here because we know that #AirPollution is one of the biggest threats to global health, & we need to do something about it – urgently.
🌍, 9 out of 10 people breathe air that has been polluted by traffic emissions, industry, agriculture and waste incineration"–@DrTedros
"Some of our 🧒👧 will not reach their full potential because of exposure to #AirPollution in the womb and in early life; some of our 👵👴 will die early because of exposure to it throughout their lives"–@DrTedros at #CleanAir4Health Conference

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay.

DYK: Half of all #mentalhealth conditions start by 1️⃣4️⃣ years of age, but most cases are undetected and untreated.
WE ALL have a role to play in supporting adolescents 👧🏾🧒🏼👦🏿👩🏽 with their mental health bit.ly/2CzHeve #LetsTalk
Some adolescents are at greater risk of #mentalhealth conditions due to their living conditions, stigma, discrimination or exclusion, or lack of access to quality support and services bit.ly/2IgMdAY #WorldMentalHealthDay
Emotional disorders commonly emerge during adolescence.
In addition to depression or anxiety, adolescents with emotional disorders can also experience excessive irritability, frustration, or anger bit.ly/2IgMdAY #WorldMentalHealthDay

Today mom and I talked about the way my father died a few years ago. I’ve always felt like I should get really real about it because it might help somebody not make the same choices, but it’s really depressing. Marsha Cooke’s plea for people to quit smoking made today the day.
There’s two main ways smoking is going to kill you; cancer or lung disease — aka Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease aka COPD. The latter is what got my dad, as it did Leonard Nimoy and millions of other Americans. If you smoke enough, statistically you will get one of them.
My father smokes for decades and quit smoking more than than ten years before it killed him. He felt fine for years. He even felt good. But as we age our lungs naturally degrade. That’s why many older people have shortness of breath. Smoking accelerates the degradation hugely.

CBD Oil Appreciation thread.

The CBD oil I use: bit.ly/EliteCBD
(Credit @GoodlifeTube)

1) Reduce chronic pain:

Imagine that crushing, flaring pain in your joints. Nagging pain from an old injury. CBD gets all of that outta here beloved.

bit.ly/EliteCBD
2) Anxiety and depression:

The ganja goo can promote feelings of well being:

*Rapid breathing
*Shortness of breath
*Irrational thoughts

bit.ly/EliteCBD makes that stuff a thing of the past
3) Chronic inflammation

60% of Americans suffer from chronic inflammatory disorders including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, respiratory disorders.

2/3 of people reading this.

bit.ly/EliteCBD helps the body relieve this inflammation.

If you still think Q is a farce, prank, shill or successful psyop played out on millions of people worldwide then ask yourself this. Why are there:
-3628 High Ranking RESIGNATIONS since Sept2017
-41,000+ INDICTMENTS
-7000+ PEDO ARRESTS in USA
#QAnon #Truth
Secondly folks...Ask yourselves this:
HOW DID I ACCESS THIS INFORMATION?
It surely wasn't reported by the MSM(Main Street Media).

The amount of research, data & information I've gathered & received through Q is insurmountable. Educate yourselves people.
So much you don't know.
Need more information? Ok. Here we go...
3.
 - Why is the MSM(Main Street Media) fighting so hard to discredit the Q Movement? WHO OWNS THE NETWORKS?

- Why are FB, Twitt, & YTube ONLY Censoring Conservative and #QAnon voices on their platforms? THINK AGENDA.

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.

Let me explain why autistic people do not support Autism Speaks. A$ pays it's administrators fat paychecks, spends a lot on advertising, and spends the lion's share of what is left on genetic research. Genetic research is about eugenics.
It does nothing to address the needs or struggles of actual autistics - the intention is to eradicate us the way they are doing with the Down's Syndrome community. Only 4% of the A$ budget goes to things that help autistics & their families. Less than 1% helps autistic adults.
Autism Speaks fund-raises aggressively and siphons funds needed locally to support autistics to their national coffers. Nothing of note comes back.They push donations by depicting autism and autistics as monsters - something worse than death.

I had another life-threatening heart/lung episode today.
I'm not sure how much of it had to do with my cutting my heart meds back to once a day while appealing the increased price by my health insurance from $120 for 60 pills to $1k for 60 pills.
We had to call 9/11.
Scary.
1/
I couldn't afford to go to the hospital--when you call 9/11 the city charges you $1,200 for the trip to nearest hospital.
They only accept cash.
The EMTs checked me out, told me to take the heart meds the way they were prescribed, established I wasn't in VFib, just SVT AFib.
2/
So all day, instead of doing work that needs to be done, I have been trying to get my heart rate under 140, which given my lung meds increase my heart rate, has been more work: breathing exercises my PT taught me, single nostril breathing @HillaryClinton taught me (try it).
