It is also known as Brogada, it is genetic, therefore, of course it is accepted as a cause of death, esp. among Asian men, where it mostly occurs.

No.  The human body needs an abundance of potassium and very little in the way of sodium.  Most people get things backwards.\n\nYou cannot die from eating too many bananas.  You may start scratching your armpits and going "Ook, Ook, Ook", but you can't die from it.\n\n(Just kidding on that last part)\n\n-Dio

It depends on the cause of death.  If it is something to so with the lungs, then yes, but if it a stroke or a fall, then maybe not.\n\nThat is a bit of a weird question though...why are you wondering that?

The consensus of the secular establishment is that one is not in the right frame of mind when the think they want  to  kill themselves anymore than a murderer who wants to murder someone else.  The only difference is the direction of that person's projection of the dysfunction from another to oneself.  This view is from the preponderance of evidence which shows that when treated  for biological, chemical, hormonal, or other dysfunctions within or around the person the vast majority of those people go on to lead happy productive lives without the desire to commit suicide any longer and glad that some one talked them off the ledge.  Civilized culture as a pattern and time proven rule builds, creates and nurtures life.  Although it has within it,  radicles like in any healthy biological body, which if unchecked destroy, mutate and seek death, these are the exception ,however; and not the rule.  Barbarity,  anarchist, and the like of chaos theories or fatalistic tendencies as  a rule, destroys, and kills without noticeable creation, and or helping of life.  If part of a civilizec culture or body is malignant then it is civilized to kill it or let it be killed to save the culture or body, just as we would with any cancer or disease of that nature.  If however it is benign or an attack, like and heart attack ir anxiety attack we treat this symptom and do not let the body die if possible since once the hear is healed many more happy years are possible. Likewise, the person that wants to commit suicide generally has a sick "heart" that needs healing and then they will be fine.

I, too, believe the answer would not be accurate as many such suicides are not recognized as such. I even had a father in law that was kept alive by his doctor until our family could arrive. Shortly after we spent a couple days with  him, he went into emergency room and was given pain meds and died shortly after.\nI have to agree with the person's answer above that wouldn't it be nice if we could live a quality life rather than gauged on quantity and be allowed to leave this life with dignity when the time comes.

We have no statistics to back that up.  I doubt that anyone went into the jungle to count any other species dying from the disease.  The really scary part is that it comes in waves, and dies out on its own.

An article published in The Lancet in 20043, also shows how retroviral transfer from primates to hunters is still occurring even today. In a sample of 1099 individuals in Cameroon , they discovered to ten (1%) were infected with SFV (Simian Foamy Virus), an illness which, like SIV, was previously thought only to infect primates. All these infections were believed to have been acquired through the butchering and consumption of monkey and ape meat. Discoveries such as this have lead to calls for an outright ban on bushmeat hunting to prevent simian viruses being passed to humans. go to http://www.avert.org/origins.htm  to learn more!

this is a non-educated answer but if you think about it, it makes sense.\n\nsmoking causes cancer, high blood pressure and emphazima.\n\nbeing overweight causes high blood pressure, stroke, heart attacks, diabetes, high cholesterol and on and on and on.....\nthere are much more complications and other health risks caused by being overweight.  so it's not being overweight in general that causes the death but something that became because of being overweight!\n\ndoes that make sense?

There are no (absolutely no) health risks involved with either one. That whole cancer scare was started by a guy whose wife died of brain cancer, and he blamed it on her cell phone. But people who eat carrots also die of brain cancer. And people who drive cars. And people who eat breakfast...  But you can't place blame on just anything. Your phone is safe, and independent research (i.e., by people who have no axe to grind) have shown no correlation.

No, death can't be prohibited because it happens naturally. Yes, death can be prhibited in the sense if you are taking th elife of another.

Some illnesses/medical disorders can ONLY be cured by surgery or a medical intervention. It's not a matter of crossing your fingers and hoping that your child doesn't die. If you are truly religious you would realize that God has given people the ability and intelligence to be physicians for a reason. I think anyone that denies their child medical care for 'religious reasons' should be charged with neglect and attempted murder. There have been way too many cases of children dying from people that have distorted religious beliefs.

Heart Disease and Stroke\nSmoking causes fatty deposits to build up in the blood vessels, leaving them narrow or blocked. This leads to heart disease or stroke. About 40% of deaths due to heart disease before the age of 65 are related to smoking. \n\nCancer\nCigarette smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing substances. \nSmoking is the most common, preventable cause of lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers\n\nThe longer one smokes, the greater the risk of developing cancers such as cervical and breast cancer, cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney and bladder. \n\nChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)\nSmoking narrows the airways and destroys the air sacs in the lungs. This makes breathing difficult. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is the 6th largest cause of death in Singapore.\n\nBone Loss and Osteoporosis\nOsteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to lose density and become brittle, leading to hip, spine and wrist fractures. \n\nWomen who smoke are 50% more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than non-smokers. \n\nRe-productive and Sexual Health\nSmoking increases the risk of infertility in both men and women.\n\n  Men  \n  • Smokers are 50% more likely to suffer from impotence or erectile dysfunction. \n  • Smoking reduces the volume of ejaculation, lowers sperm count, distorts sperm shape and impairs sperm mobility.  \n\n   Women \n  • Women who smoke may experience early menopause and more menopausal symptoms. \n  • Smoking may lead to decreased egg counts due to destruction of eggs in the ovaries before the eggs reach maturity.  \n\n   • Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. The smoke inhaled (either directly from a cigarette or from second-hand smoke) by a pregnant woman goes directly to her baby's lungs. It prevents as much as 25 % of oxygen from reaching the placenta.\n \n\n\nSecond-hand Smoke\nAbout 90% of the smoke from every cigarette ends up in the air as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). \n  ETS \n  • causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked before.  \n  • causes heart attack, especially among the spouses of smokers. ETS also increases the risk of repeated heart attacks if one has suffered from heart attack before. \n\n   • increases the risk of heart disease, lung disease, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, blood vessel disease or worsen the symptoms if one is already suffering from these.

G.R. No. L-44678 April 8, 1986\n\nFRANCISCO BALIGWAT, petitioner, \nvs.\nHON. COURT OF APPEALS and ALBINO ESTAVOS, respondents.\n\nRamon P. Mabanag for petitioner. \n\nDulcisimo Tampus for private respondent. \n\n \n\nPATAJO, J.:\n\nIn this petition for review of the decision of the then Court of Appeals dated July 20, 1976, petitioner, the tenant of private respondent over 1 1/2 hectares land devoted exclusively to coconut trees, seeks a ruling from this Court that personal cultivation by the landowner, one of the grounds for the dispossession of a tenant under Section 50 of Republic Act 1199, otherwise known as the Agricultural Tenancy Act of the Philippines, had been repealed by Section 7 of Republic Act 6389, and that, therefore, he could not be ejected from the landholding in question on the alleged ground that the landowner wanted to cultivate the land himself personally. The decision of the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the Court of Agrarian Reforms which denied the motion to dismiss filed by petitioner of the complaint to eject him from the landholding in question, said Court holding that Section 7 of Republic Act 6389 amending Section 36 of the Code of Agrarian Reforms of the Philippines, Republic Act 3844 deleting personal cultivation by the lessor-owner as ground for dispossessing the tenant-lessee does not apply to coconut lands. \n\nThe undisputed facts of this case is stated by the Court of Appeals in its decision subject of the present petition for review as follows: \n\nDefendant Francisco Baligwat is the tenant of plaintiff Albino Estavas over one and one-half hectares of his coconut land in Pualas, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Estavas wanted to eject Baligwat because he wanted to cultivate the land personally, so he notified the defendant of his desire to personally cultivate the land one year before he filed this case on April 4, 1972 by sending a letter (Exhibit 'B') written on February 7, 1971, addressed to the defendant at Pualas, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. He mailed that letter by ordinary mail and the defendant received it through the Barrio Captain. He also complied with the requirements of law to inform the Court regarding his desire to personally cultivate the land as shown by a copy of the notice he filed in Court, (Exhibit 'C') received on February 15, 1971 (Exhibit 'C-l').\n\nAfter one year, he sent another letter to the defendant re-minding him that after February, 1972, the latter was to vacate the premises (Exhibit 'D'). Because the defendant did not vacate the premises, plaintiff filed his petition in this case on April 4, 1972 (Exhibit 'E'). \n\nEstavas wanted to personally cultivate the land because he had no job and he has had experience as farmer of the coconut land of his father. The entire area of the coconut land is 26 hectares. The tenanted area of the said land is one hectare and a half. Plaintiff has four children all of majority age, with children of their own. He wants to cultivate personally the area of one and a half hectares use the rest of the 26 hectares are cultivated by his children who are all farmers, including the only one of them who is employed and who visits the place every month. Four hectares of the land were acquired by his wife and the other portions were acquired by him and his wife. He has a house on the land in question. Three of his children have their own houses on the portions of land they are occupying and cultivating. \n\nWe are in full agreement with the holding of the Court of Appeals upholding the Court a quo that insofar as coconut lands are concerned, personal cultivation by the owner-lessor, a ground for dispossession of the tenant-lessee under Section 50 of Republic Act 1199, is still a valid ground for dispossession of a tenant. This is so because Section 35 of Republic Act 3844 expressly provides that with respect to lands principally planted to citrus, coconuts, cacao, durian and other similar permanent

i'm not sure about studies proven but mt husband and son have both had it for various problems and it has cured them, really. it is not covered by medicare or blue cross here in canada so i guess that would mean no clinical studies have been proven, right. it was an oriental doctor that did them, one was male an one was female.
