3.       Looking closer into the Fifteen Problems, which include the Taskforce's Three Public Health Risks

      (Section 3 researches the Fifteen Problems, which include the Taskforce's Three Public Health Risks, as a Business Plan would lack integrity if it argued a treatment for Fifteen Problems without first understanding each of them and what Caused each and the Adverse Effects and Adverse Costs.  It is not essential to read Section 3 if you understand the Fifteen Problems.) 

I.        Global Warming / Climate Change could "reduce global annual economic growth by 20% or more" - Sir Nicholas Stern

 (y)        How do volcanoes affect world climate?  "There is no doubt that volcanic eruptions add CO₂ to the atmosphere, but compared to the quantity produced by human activities, their impact is virtually trivial: volcanic eruptions produce about 110 million tons of CO₂ each year, whereas human activities contribute almost 10,000 times that quantity."

IV.      Recreational Drug Abuse -

(d)        Section 3. "The case for prevention: tobacco" of Australia: the healthiest country by 2020 - A discussion paper prepared by the National Preventive Health Taskforce notes "Smoking resulted in an estimated 15,511 deaths in 2003 and cost the Australian community around $12 billion in tangible net costs in 2004–05.  Tobacco use is responsible for 12% of the total burden of disease and 20% of deaths in Indigenous Australians."

(e)        Executive Summary of Australia: the healthiest country by 2020 - A discussion paper prepared by the National Preventive Health Taskforce notes "The annual costs of harmful consumption of alcohol are huge. They consist of crime ($1.6 billion), health ($1.9 billion), productivity loss in the workplace ($3.5 billion), loss of productivity in the home ($1.5 billion) and road trauma ($2.2 billion).  In total, the overall cost to the health care system associated with these three risk factors (crime, health and trauma) is in the order of almost $6 billion dollars per year, while lost productivity is estimated to be almost $13 billion. = $19 billion.   Section 4. "The case for prevention: alcohol" notes "The annual tangible net cost to the Australian community from harmful drinking is estimated to be almost $11 billion."

(f)         “The associated costs with the miss use of alcohol in Australia between 1998 and 1999, was approximately $7.6 billion dollars.”

(g)        Statistics on drug use in Australia 2006  -  Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Canberra  -  April 2007

(h)        Annual social costs of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs grew to $56.1 billion in 2004-5.

(i)         Australian Education and Rehabilitation Foundation (AER Foundation) put the total economic impact of alcohol misuse at $36 billion pa - significantly up on previous estimates  -  Aug 2010:

• $24.7 billion in tangible costs, which include out-of-pocket expenses, forgone wages or productivity and hospital and childcare protection costs.

• $11.6 billion in intangible costs, which includes lost quality of life from someone else's drinking.

(e)        Opening our Eyes to Cost of Depression in the Workplace - "Depression costs the Australian economy $3.3 billion in lost productivity each year".

(f)         The cost of depression  "Depression is a common disorder. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates that 5.8 per cent of the adult Australian population has depression each year and that depression is the leading contributor to the non-fatal disease burden in Australia.............. This equates to an annual wage loss of at least $1.5 billion due to Absenteeism in Australia."

(h)       Young men’s mental illness costing the Australian economy $3b annually

VII.    One in 5 Australians is Disabled which represents a material cost upon the public purse, foregone potential productivity and low QOL for those Disabled

             (a)       The cost to the public purse, foregone productivity and QOL for the Disabled are each significant.  Could these three "downsides" be reduced if a framework was available for Abled Australians to assist some of 8.8% of Australians who suffer a Moderate or Mild Limitation to commence a REA? 

             (b)       Analysis of the types of Disabilities and age distribution of the Disabled indicates that 1.2m Disabled Australians would be physically able to commence a REA, provided sufficient Abled Participants are willing to assist them.

             (c)       The YELP Holistic First Business Plan incorporates Assistance Procedures and Offer And Request Forms on the YELP Website for Abled Participants to be granted Abled Participant Assistant status to assist Disabled Interested Adults where the Abled Participant Assistant's efforts are regularly acknowledged and publicised, with exceptional assistance recognised at the Annual Presentation Awards Dinner

            (d)        Access Economics'  "The high price of pain: the economic impact of persistent pain in Australia - Nov 2007"  reports that Chronic Pain, some of which is exacerbated by constrained Lifestyle Behaviour, costs Australia $34.3 billion due to 'inter alia' to the Chronic Pain syndrome.   Section 16(c) asserts that scope exists to include amongst the 50 Volunteers in the 10 Months Tenure Of Primary Research Programme some adults who are experiencing some types of Chronic Pain because the Second Basic Component Of CBT under the Biopsychosocial Behaviour Model is in accord with the primary characteristics of the 10 Months Tenure Of Primary Research Programme, namely that:

            (i)          Volunteers, who are experiencing Chronic Pain, are under the Supervision and Administration of a Research Programme Team of 4 clinicians/sports therapists with health physiology  expertise.

            (ii)         Volunteers are participating in a RREA within a LDRREG under the Optimum, Uniform Delivery Model which incorporates a LCCBSG.   

                         Section 16(c) also explains that many eminent adults have overcome or endure Chronic Pain to pursue their sporting passion.

VIII.   Coronary Artery Disease -  single largest cause of premature death in Australia, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare

             (a)        HCF Special Report - Heart Disease

IX.       Hypertension

             Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a leading contributor to premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease. Currently afflicting 29 per cent of the Australian population, it is more likely to develop in people who are physically inactive, overweight or who consume excess dietary sodium or alcohol (1).

            The cost of antihypertensive therapy is a major impact on community resources, e.g. approximately $300M annually under the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (2). These costs will only rise as the population ages. To help control hypertension and save on the cost of antihypertensive therapy, this newly created position statement offers guidance on appropriate exercise intervention.

            “Hypertension is one of the major potentially modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and death,” said lead author Dr James Sharman. “Lifestyle modification that includes regular physical activity is often recommended to patients with hypertension as one of the first line treatments for lowering blood pressure, as well as reducing overall risk for cardiovascular events.
