Deaths from Drug Overdose Doubled in the last Five Years

Friends, in only five years, the number of deaths from drug overdoses doubled in the United States!

This is based on statements according to U.S. government statistics that indicate that such deaths rose from 11,155 in 1999 to 19,838 in 2004, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Researchers believe that the improper use of drugs like Vicodin and Oxycontin may have been a major contributor.

The availability of prescription drugs illegally also continues to be a problem. In a study released last week by the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma, almost 82 percent of the participants said they illegally obtained their prescription medications from a drug dealer. Just over 50 percent said friends or relatives were also a source, although no information was gathered regarding where those contacts originally got the drugs.

Suffice it to say we really have to be on the lookout for such a problem…

Well, here’s to health in ‘07 and BEYOND!!!
