Cause-and-effect metabolic disorders are always given grandiose disease
names by Western medicine
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Here's interesting research that ties Syndrome X (which is basically a
pre-diabetes blood suger metabolic disorder) to chronic kidney disease.
It's been known for quite some time that Syndrome X leads to diabetes
and heart disease, but this kidney disease link is new. 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. Read Take Back Your Health Power

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.
