Well-intentioned

Take two of these Tid the rest of your life.

A study by researchers from the University of North Carolina’s Gillings School of Global Public Health, published in the journal Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, recently confirmed that 88 percent of all adults in this country are metabolically diseased, making them ticking time bombs in terms of their long-term health.*

In our introduction we noted the difference between metabolic and hereditary causes for disorders and how much of organized medicine is still mired in its narrow view. That ought not shock anyone. Study the history of science in general and medicine (biology, etc.) particularly and you’ll see how begrudgingly change happens.

Long term health is synonymous for chronic disease. Chronic disease-- or the fear there of, think insurers here-- is the primary cause of soaring health care costs. 

Would it shock you to know that only 12 out of every 100 American adults is considered by experts to be metabolically healthy? This statistic should be a cause for grave concern to every single one of us, since metabolic health is the single biggest indicator of whether or not a person will develop one or more of the world’s leading causes of death, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and other dangerous conditions.*

Type 2 diabetes, for example, is primarily a disorder owing to life style, nutrition and eating not genes. In short, it’s acquired not sentenced. And thanks in part to big pharmacy and scientific intransigence medicine today remains focused on treating, prescribing, not curing.

It may be well-intentioned but it’s wrong.
