Yeah, I'm back on the anti-convulsants as of the next few minutes (piracetam). And I plan to be chewing Bee Resins like crazy...
by possumI bet numerous medical reasons exist for suicides. I know many people suffer from undiagnosed autoimmube conditions, such as food allergies and thyroid malfunction. These two things specifically cause inattentiveness, mood instability, anxiety, and depression (often attributed to inflammation) in many cases and often cause mental health misdiagnoses until more obvious physical symptoms emerge. Even then, doctors often treat the wide range of symptoms as separate conditions.
Honestly Possum, I am starting to wonder if there are micro-organisms in the body which people simply cannot detect through blood or urine samples, which are called "auto immune" diseases, simply because they cannot find a cause.
So... in other words, I think it is not unsafe to suspect that anything labeled an auto-immune disease, may be more of a bacterial infection of sorts.
I know there are autopsies and such, but... still...
What if an invading microbe manages to change some feature of the human body, maybe changes a cell or two by mutating it, and the body all of a sudden sees that as a foreign substance, making it seem as if it is attacking itself?
Pretty hard to see that in an autopsy. That's an unseen process.
I read this the other day, and that's why I mention it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion
A prion (Listeni/ˈpriËÉ’n/[1]) in the Scrapie form (PrPSc) is an infectious agent composed of protein in a misfolded form.[2] This is the central idea of the Prion Hypothesis, which remains debated.[3]
Prions are responsible for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in a variety of mammals, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as "mad cow disease") in cattle.
I mean in all honesty, there are ALOT of auto immune diseases. That's one really shitty immune system we must have since it fucks up and goes haywire all the time, right?
The food allergies is interesting though. I don't know excactly, but some are linking heavy pollutants with children who have allergies. So... maybe blame bleaches and stuff. Our immune systems "should" be strong enough to ward of allergies, but in some cases they've been weakened.

Whatever is causing the rise, I don't know exactly, only guessing. Anyways...
I am learning about my health so that I can get maybe couple extra years of life...
Anyways, yeah, what do they give asthma sufferers? Steroids... What are they trying to link with Asthma? Chlorine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_chlorine_hypothesis
The pool chlorine hypothesis is the hypothesis that long-term attendance at indoor chlorinated swimming pools by children up to the age of about 6–7 years is a major factor in the rise of asthma in rich countries since the late twentieth century.
What does chlorine do? It's a corrosive. So you've corroded your lungs, and the steroids are there to give them strength back.
Makes sense, really...
But the food allergies. I don't know, it's a strange one...
I totally understand that when someone does math, they probably start to use specific parts of thier brain over others, and so on...
This is interesting though.

Researchers have developed a non-invasive biomarker, or indicator, using a non-invasive measurement of electrical activity in the brain, to associate a sharp reduction of activity in a specific brain region within 48 hours of beginning pharmaceutical treatment in people who proved susceptible to developing thoughts of suicide.
In other words, 8% or so people start to lose brain function in the frontal right lobe when taking SSRIs and that leads to suicidal thoughts.
So, hey, maybe it is some sort of latent microbial issue that has "depressed" the brain in some instances over others?
