) A Challenge for the Future: Fighting Metabolic Syndrome Dr. Alta A. Smit Metabolic syndrome has come a long way since its beginnings as Syndrome X (so called because its pathophysiology was not totally clear). The syndrome was described as early as 1946 by a French physician in Marseille, but the link between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease did not become commonplace in cardiovascular medi cine until after the Banting Award address by Gerald M. Reaven in early spring of 1988, when metabolic syndrome emerged as a pattern of inflammatory disease with devastating consequences if left untreated. Modern articles have examined the connections among leptin resistance, insulin resistance, and the age-old genetic patterns of maintenance and adaptive metabolism that ensure the survival of our species. In the normal maintenance pattern of fat burning, which ensures the optimum environment for reproduction of the species, leptin is relatively low and insulin levels are normal. Under stressful conditions, our genetic make-up triggers the so-called adaptive response and a different pattern of fat utilization sets in, namely, storage in anticipation of a time when the species will again be able to reproduce. If the adaptive response persists for too long, resistance to both insulin and leptin develops as the body protects the cells from their effects. The brain interprets this situation as leptin or insulin deficiency, and levels rise even further, resulting in true leptin and insulin resistance. In the maintenance response to dietary carbohydrate and fat, no fat is deposited. Our stressful modern lifestyle, however, constantly triggers the adaptive response of storing food for the future. As a result, fat accumulates, especially around the midriff. Switching the prevailing pattern from the adaptive response back to the maintenance mode of fat burning is a major challenge for the future. Clearly, the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome is now better understood, but as we see from Professor Michael Kirkman’s com pre hensive focus article, it remains a complex and multifactorial disease. As in all such conditions, bioregulatory therapy can play an important role, since it also addresses sequelae of metabolic syndrome such as tissue acidosis and chronic inflammation. Dr. Ulrike Keim is one of the leading homotoxicological experts on this syndrome, so we asked her to write about some of her cases and protocols. She expands on this practical aspect by sharing her experience with i.v. therapy, which is an important component of treatment in many acute and chronic diseases, especially in cases of metabolic syndrome. Free radical formation and loss of mitochondrial function are major factors in all chronic diseases. Two preparation groups – the catalysts and the suis-organ preparations – play special roles in the homotoxicological approach to metabolic syndrome. Dr. Ivo Bianchi, a worldrenowned expert on homotoxicology, has studied the catalysts in depth and has a wealth of experience in using these compounds in his practice. His short article in the section “Refresh Your Homotoxicology” puts the use of the catalyst combination Coenzyme compositum in context. Finally, Dr. Erich Reinhart presents the first of two articles in a series on manufacturing the suis-organ preparations and ensuring their quality. Alta A. Smit, MD References: 1. Reaven GM.
