FBD isn't necessarily related to syndrome X - they can exist

independently - perhaps you are confusing this with polycystic ovarian

syndrome?

this latter statement runs totally contrary to my experience

metabolic syndrome X is caused by three factors, of which diet is the

major etiology:

 

1. excess glycemic load from the diet (i.e. too much starches, sugars

etc.)

2. nutrient deficiencies (e.g. essential fatty acids, chromium,

magnesium etc.)

3. lack of exercise (particularly weight-bearing exercise)

 

all three factors promote insulin resistance and compensatory

hyperinsulinemia

the "cholesterol" issue alluded to at the above link provided doesn't

make sense in light of this dynamic - its just thrown in there because

so much has been invested in this model that there appears to be no

escape from it

rather, it appears that poorly controlled hyperglycemia and

hyperinsulinemia, concurrent with antioxidant depletion function

together to promote the atherosclerotic changes in vascular tissue

 

a much better analysis of syndrome X can be found on my page at:

www.toddcaldecott.com, under "support"

if anyone is an RFD (www.redflagsweekly.com) r, then Dr.

Malcom Kendrick's articles on the subject are most enlightening

 

from an ayurvedic perspective syndrome X is a vata-kapha condition,

caused by excess sweet (k), a sedentary lifestyle (k) and nutrient

deficiencies (v) - of course with inflammation there may be pittaja

component

 

if a recently diagnosed synX patient undergoing treatment as per the

protocol above does not lose weight, correct dyslipidemia, reduce

hypertension and begin to see a restoration of some of the other

metabolic abnormalities within 3 months, then there is likely another

issue(s)
