Why would a doctor prescribe a drug to improve a disease if the same drug worsened the underlying cause of the disease? Doesn’t make any sense, does it?<\/p>\nWhy would a doctor prescribe a drug to improve a disease if the same drug worsened the underlying cause of the disease? Doesn’t make any sense, does it?<\/p>\n
But, according to a new study conducted by Georgia State University, this is the case with the most commonly prescribed type 2 diabetes drug.<\/p>\n
If you suffer type 2 diabetes, chances are high you’re taking this drug – but maybe shouldn’t be!<\/p>\n
The drug Thiazolidinedione (TZD), addresses insulin resistance and, therefore, tackles some of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. It’s one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for this disease.<\/p>\n
But there is a catch!<\/p>\n
The study published in The Journal of Neuroscience<\/em> revealed that TZD also triggers receptors in the brain that increase hunger feelings. People who take this drug, therefore, tend to gain more weight, worsening their disease.<\/p>\n Being obese or overweight is the main underlying cause of type 2 diabetes. So although TZD manages some of the symptoms, it’s in essence making the disease much worse in the long run.<\/p>\n As the disease gets worse, you need more drugs. Therefore padding the pocket of big pharma even more.<\/p>\n So what’s a person to do, then?<\/p>\n What big pharma doesn’t want you to know is that type 2 diabetes is easily reversed using simple lifestyle changes. Thousands of readers are living examples of this.<\/p>\n
