Cachexia is a metabolic disorder thats currently affecting some nine million people across the planet. The good news for them is that cachexia will likely be the last disease theyll ever have. The bad news is thats because cachexia is likely to kill them, if a pre-existing condition doesnt do it first.









Cachexiapronounced with a hard ch, like k-his Greek for a bad way of living (which seems kind of judgy to us). It was known to the father of medicine himself, Hippocrates, but it wasnt well defined until the twentieth centuryalthough now that definition is a subject of debate. Theres even some disagreement whether cachexia is merely a complication of other diseases of wether it has its own underlying cause and, potentially, cure. Studies suggest that inflammation might be the common link.









What is clear, however, is that cachexia appears in the late stage of almost every major chronic illness, including heart, lung, and kidney disease and cancer. Its symptom is extreme loss of weight, particularly muscle, that often times no amount of eating can reverse.....
