Cause-and-effect metabolic disorders are always given grandiose disease names by Western medicine

What I find so funny about all this is how Western medicine has to give all these symptoms such grandiose names. In fact, Syndrome X isn't a "disease" as much as just a lifestyle imbalance: too many refined carbohydrates and not enough exercise. The result is a pattern of symptoms that has been named Syndrome X.

Diabetes is much the same: it's just the natural result of poor dietary and exercise habits. It isn't really a disease, it's just metabolic cause and effect. In a sense, giving it a name and calling it a disease takes away the power and responsibility from the patient, because thanks to the name, now it's suddenly a "disease" and not something that's your own doing.

• Tulane researchers, published in the February issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, report that people with metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X) are nearly 2.5 times more likely to suffer from chronic kidney disease.
• If a person has three or more of these signs, they are at higher risk of developing diabetes mellitus and heart disease, as well as kidney disease.
• Data from over 6000 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to assess the association between Syndrome X and kidney disease and protein in urine.
