Silent Pandemic Surges to Third-Fastest Growing Cause of Death Globally

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An article published Wednesday in the journal Nature stated that the silent epidemic of kidney disease is the third-fastest growing cause of death globally.

By 2040, kidney disease is expected to be the fifth-highest cause of death, according to Nature. At the time of writing, some 850 million people are suffering from some type of kidney-related issues, putting a huge burden on tax-payer-funded Medicare plans (Nature referred to Medicare as “government-funded,” but since you fund the government with your taxes, you are paying to treat kidney disease).

Despite this enormous physical and financial burden to the tax-payers, kidney disease has all but been ignored in the priorities of so-called public health authorities, Nature argued. Kidney disease isn’t even in the World Health Organization (WHO) list of priority non-communicable diseases that result in early deaths, despite data proving it really is a major concern.

Instead WHO and other unelected, non-representative organizations of We The Taxpayers who fund them focus on stroke, heart disease, diabetes (stop eating so much crap, people), lung diseases and cancer. As a result, public awareness of kidney disease is low, likely contributing to the growth in related deaths.
