Good news for fat people - Acomplia slimming pill does work

As you know I am all for helping people who have problems.

I may have been vociferous in the past about people who have weight problems and seemingly do little about it; well I have changed my approach, simply because not everyone is strong and there are those that need an olive branch of hope.

Acomplia could well be that Olive branch of hope, for according to research in Japan the slimming pill has had a positive effect on reducing the visceral fat which gathers around vital organs.

For those of you are unsure what ‘visceral fat’ is, see the Wiki entry.

For overweight Brits, this is indeed good news as Acomplia is widely available online from health sites such as The Online Clinic, but for fat people in America it is not such good news as Acomplia has been banned from being prescribed. It is though possibly going to be available to the US Market in around 3-4 years.

Perhaps the Americans are proud of their obesity rates; but I find it extremely disturbing that when a slimming pill and weight loss drug is doing good around the rest of the world, why the Americans are not embracing it and using it as part of their effort to combat obesity.

You know me Crip, I have been looking at your site for a while now, trying to figure you out. By far this is the most intelligent thing you have written. Allow me to explain.

Mate, it’s very easy in this world to take a certain group of people and use them as a channel through which to vent you anger. I don’t blame you for being angry, we are all angry with the world and the way we have no choice but to live in it. That’s only natural, we are mereley human and by that far from perfect.

The real skill is not to take the easy option. It’s the easiet thing in the world to judge people on how they look or what they do or whatever. But if you took the time and effort to talk to , and more importantly, got to know these people, it is more than likely in most cases you will be surprised to hear that actually the opposite of what you first thought is true.

But to do that takes effort. And by human nature we are ALL adverse to effort and prefer to take the easy option - we are lazy. It makes life easier for ourselves. And I stress, ourselves.

Take off your blinkered and prejudiced views Mr Crip. Bad rubbish happens to everyone in this world, but believe me when I say this, it happens for a Very Important Reason. That is the most important advice I or anybody else for that matter could give you. And if I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t give you that advice.

Open your eyes and clear away the blindeness that clouds your eyes and ears. A blindeness cause by anger, frustration and bitterness.

Only after you have done that you maybe will then actually see what life is REALLY about.

Think about it - you’re not stupid, that is obvious. Clear away the darkness that is blinding you and grasp the light. I spent ten years subscribing to the things you subscribe to nowe and suddelt it dawned on me.

Make the effort mate and then reap your due reward.

Although I welcome the change away from the angry hatred that usually surrounds your posts on this subject Crip I still can see your opinion given with a real condescending edge and arrogance towards those with weight issues and problems after all not every overweight person is weak and to be quite frank with you I even question some of
the health implications people (including yourself) attach to Obesity for example the Diabetes link which is also brought up in the link on that slimming pill your peddling…….
For years, they have claimed rising rates of obesity will fuel Type 2 Diabetes, producing the first generation of children with a shorter life expectancy than their parents ……But guess what?… Rates of Type 2 Diabetes in children are not skyrocketing.
And now even many of the researchers who announced that steadily rising rates of life expectancy will suddenly drop admitted that their dire predictions were based on “collective judgment” rather than scientific evidence.
In fact, a study published in late June in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that Type 2 Diabetes among children is “still relatively infrequent.” And the accompanying editorial called it rare.
I think there should be a law against people releasing certain statistics or facts without real solid scientific evidence to prove their case cause even with that scientific evidence I’m dubious because not only do I think it can be biased due to the health companies funding a hell of a lot of them but its also only fact as we know it now….Trans-fat and the fat gene spring to mind….
Anyway back to Diabetes….It’s no coincidence that over the last 20 years rates of Type 2 Diabetes haven’t changed significantly, but the
prevalence of eating disorders has exploded. Experts warn that over-the-top campaigns against childhood obesity are backfiring, causing kids to binge, diet, and develop eating disorders. …….I also think it creates a form of prejudice against the overweight too which I have to say Crip is normally and usually identifiable on your pages…though ever the optimist I am…. I hope that is now changing…….
As for this new Acomplia pill….. I’m all for anything that can help people I’m still quite sceptical on whether this is the saviour you suggest it is Crip it definitely won’t work for many overweight people (it even states that on one of the links you provided) It also doesn’t help when your links are mainly from certain Health crowds like ‘TheOnlneClinic’ who are making alot of money out of promoting Obesity as a serious problem and their drugs they are selling as the miracle cure.. I am however more encoruraged at the news of a Fat Metabolism Breakthrough which can bring in a new age of pills that can control and manipulate the storage of fat…..I believe that would have a much better success rate than any other pill offered today….
Hopefully in the next few years it can be developed now…

Cat (CT) scans of adipose patients advised with Acomplia (rimonabant) accept accepted for the aboriginal time that the diet biologic decidedly reduces the alarming blazon of belly blubber that generally leads to blazon 2 diabetes, according to researchers.

In a late-breaking address presented at the anniversary affair of the European Atherosclerosis Society in Istanbul, the advisers said cat scans showed that rimonabant analysis for a year resulted in decidedly greater reductions in belly fat than a placebo and aswell helped abate the blubbery alarmist index.

The after-effects came from the ADAGIO-LIPIDS analytic trial, a abstraction conducted in 799 patients with belly blubber and with the top triglyceride - low HDL-cholesterol dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is a action that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis (commonly alleged hardening of the arteries).

The purpose of the study, according to advance researcher Dr Jean-Pierre Després of Université Laval in Quebec City, was to actuate the aftereffect of rimonabant on HDL (good) cholesterol and triglyceride levels and on the cardiometabolic contour of overweight/obese patients with dyslipidemia.

Patients advised for a year with rimonabant, Després reported, saw their HDL cholesterol added by an boilerplate 9.7% while triglycerides were bargain 15.5%. Blood burden was bargain 3.3 mm Hg, and deepening levels abstinent by C-reactive protein (CRP) were aswell reduced.

But for the aboriginal time in a rimonabant trial, patients were aswell accustomed cat scans to admeasurement how abundant subcutaneous and belly fat was absent on rimonabant as able-bodied as to actuate whether rimonabant could abate alarmist fat.

“Although we had affirmation from the appearance III studies conducted with rimonabant that (the drug) could abet a abridgement in waist ambit (a awkward brand of belly fat) and advance several appearance of the metabolic syndrome, no abstraction had anytime quantified the aftereffect of this biologic on belly adiposity and alarmist fat,” Després said.

The advisers appear that rimonabant analysis for a year bargain belly adipose tissue by an boilerplate 10.1%, which was greater than the 5.1 percent accident of subcutaneous fat, and produced a “significant: abatement in the blubbery alarmist index.

“Results of ADAGIO-LIPIDS accommodate abutment to the angle that patients with belly blubber who are generally either dyslipidemic or with blazon 2 diabetes (or both) represent a accordant subpopulation of overweight/obese patients who would decidedly account from rimonabant therapy,” the advisers concluded.

quite subdued here crip lol.
when i was at school 30 odd years ago i cant remember any fat kids now days you cant move for em.
Their fat disgusting idle scrounging parents should be taken to court fined or imprisoned because allowing their feral kids to become obese is child cruelty simple as that. In the press recently we have had the usual hand wringing and tutting because parents have strarved their kids to death but what is the difference between starving them and making them obese? and as for the parents that say ‘my child will only eat chips/burgers/chocoalte? where do you think they got that from then? seriously these are not fit to be parents and should be shot. and before you all reply in outrage just think for a second a normal active child does not get fat!!!! its the parents who make them fat
