Court backs advertising ban on weight-loss drug

August 30, 2007

A PHARMACEUTICAL company has lost its Federal Court battle to overturn an advertising ban on a controversial weight-loss drug.

A federal health committee voted in February to ban advertising for Xenical after complaints that it was being marketed extensively during television shows that appealed to young people, and that pharmacists were dispensing it to customers who were not overweight or obese.

The drug’s manufacturer, Roche, challenged the advertising ban, arguing it was against public health interests, but its application was dismissed yesterday by Justice Catherine Branson.

“I reject the submission that the committee breached its limits … by having regard to the alleged experiences and practices of some pharmacists in dispensing orlistat [Xenical] to consumers,” she said.

“Information before the committee … was capable of being regarded by the committee as relevant to not only the extent and patterns of the use of the substance but also the potential for abuse of the substance and the purposes for which a substance is to be used.”

The consumer watchdog Choice had complained last year that Xenical, known to have serious side effects such as diarrhoea and incontinence, was being advertised extensively during Australian Idol on Channel Ten. Idol, Ten says, captures more than 50 per cent of the 16- to 39-year-old audience.

Greta Kretchmer, of the Eating Disorders Foundation, said “people of normal weight, many … with eating disorders” were having no trouble buying Xenical over the counter.

Roche voluntarily withdrew its TV ads in November and modified its campaign to “specifically highlight that Xenical is not suitable for everyone”. Those ads went back on air a month ago but yesterday’s ruling means the drug cannot be advertised directly to the public at all.

Upstate Camp Helps Kids Who Struggle With Childhood Obesity, Part 1

August 15, 2007

It is a serious health crisis that experts say could shorten the lifespan of young people for the first time in generations. In the past few decades, along with adults, rates of obese and overweight kids have more than doubled. In the first of a two-part series, NY1 Health & Fitness reporter Kafi Drexel visits a camp that seems to have been tackling the issue just as long as the epidemic’s been growing.

Just over 100 miles outside New York City, nestled in the Catskill Mountains, you’ll find Camp Shane. Shane, derived from a Yiddish term for “beautiful” has been a summer weight loss camp for children and young adults for nearly 40 years.

And part of the story of the nation’s growing struggle with weight could be told right here: when the camp started in 1968, they had just 21 campers. But in recent years, that number has swelled to more than 800.

David Ettenberg’s parents started the camp, and he still runs it today.

“There are a whole lot more kids with weight loss issues than there was 20 years ago,” says Ettenberg. “I think there is a much more greater awareness of the problems that come with that. It’s sort of a complex situation. While more people know about it, they don’t know what to do.”

At camp, the lifestyle change for most of the kids is drastic. They’re engaged in constant physical activity almost from the moment they wake until they go to sleep at night. In between, they break for group nutrition and counseling sessions. And all their meals are strictly portion controlled, with no sharing allowed, and counselors close by making sure campers aren’t eating too much, or too little.

If the exercise activities alone weren’t enough, the physical layout of this camp could also be having an impact on these kids. You could probably burn off part of lunch, just trying to climb up a hill.

Ask most of the kids, and many will say, coming to camp was actually their decision.

“I made the choice to come here, because I’m really sick and tired of being overweight. And it’s been a problem for me ever since I was younger,” says 15-year-old camper Nicole Carroll. “I don’t want diabetes. I don’t want any of that stuff because it’s horrible. I don’t want to live the rest of my life with those problems, and I don’t want to die earlier than I have to.”

“It’s for myself. I want to feel better about myself,” says 14-year-old camper Inessa Tsidulko. “Not many people pick on me back home, but I feel like I don’t fit in completely with my friends who are smaller than me, and I just want to feel better about myself.”

It is a life choice that’s not just about losing weight, but gaining self-esteem needed for building the healthier lifestyles to guarantee success.

Refunds for ‘weight loss’ drug

August 7, 2007

f you thought Xenadrine EFX would be a “powerful fat-loss catalyst” but were unhappy with the results, you’re entitled to a refund, thanks to the folks at the Federal Trade Commission.

Xenadrine The FTC alleged that Xenadrine EFX was advertised with false and unsubstantiated weight-loss claims, and its settlement with the marketers of Xenadrine EFX included money for consumer refunds.

The refund is good through Sept. 15 and the amount will depend on the number of consumers who request refunds.

And while I like to see the FTC cracking down on false advertising, the “additional notes” on the company’s Web site (below), should have been enough to discourage anyone from taking it in the first place. (Not surprisingly, the clickable categories “testimonials” and “clinical studies” are currently unavailable.)

Consumers might also want to avoid Xenadrine Sleep Plus, Xenadrine Detox and Xenadrine Super Hard Core products. Just a thought.

Weight Loss: Why Do 98% of People Fail on a Diet and How to Avoid this Easily

August 2, 2007

Everybody knows that 98% of dieters fail. But do you know exactly why does this happen?

To understand this, let’s probe a little deeper into the working of your own body.

The fact is,Your own body holds the secret key to weight loss.

Human body is a complex, self-sufficient machine capable of managing it’s affairs on it’s own.

It has an independent defence and immune system ready to attack any desease or external parasite in the fraction of a second.

This clearly indicates that your own body can cure any disease on its own if proper conditions are made available for it’s functioning.

Now, the question is, what are the conditions required for the body to function properly and get rid of the excess fat and lose weight.

To understand this, let us take a small example:

If your skin gets burnt accidentally, you apply some ointment containing antibacterial/antiseptic properties.

What you are doing in effect is, you are creating a bacteria free environment on the spot of the burn so that the wound doesn’t get aggravated.

The actual work of healing the wound is done by the skin (read body) and not the ointment. By applying the ointment, you created an ideal bacteria free condition for the body to heal itself. Same holds true in the case of the body fighting obesity.

Your body stores fat as reserve (for times of starvation) and dissolves it on demand by it’s metabolic system.

The same way as it can cure any desease, it also has an inborn ability for burning up this excess fat lose weight automatically.

The body has many regulatory (hormone producing) filtering (fat burning) and excretory organs which are capable of keeping the body at an optimum weight level.

But the continuous overload of junk processed food and toxins in your diet and daily living has damaged the functioning of many of these organs, resulting in their malfunction and consequent weight gain.

Faulty diet, polluted environment and stressful living unknowingly introduce a lot of toxins into your system. Definitely, these toxins will create problems in one way or the other in your body, isn’t it?

No doubt, a host of diseases like diabetes, cardio vascular diseases, colon cancer, gallbladder disease etc. are associated with obesity.

So, a good weight loss program must begin with detoxification. Because, until and unless these toxins are removed from your body, there won’t be any significant loss of weight which can be sustained over a long period of time.

Many diet programes have advocated different eating methods and combination of foods. Some diets want you to rely on low fat high carbohydrate, some on high protein low carb, whereas some diets have food according to the blood type and still others say different foods have different reaction with enzymes.

“But merely shifting to a different or healthier diet plan without getting rid of the toxins in the body is just like putting a freshly prepared cake in a bin, full of garbage. The cake also becomes garbage in a short while.”

This is the reason why 98% diets fail! Got it?

So, what is the permanent solution for this problem?

To get to the root..I have researched and reviewed most of the diet programs out there…studied those fat loss weight loss supplements and come to a conclusion that to really lose weight in a healthy manner, you need a weight loss program having a comprehensive approach and a proven track record.

And after running through all the research materials out there…I stumbled across the 5000 year old Ayurveda medicinal science.Only Ayurveda seemed to have an all round holistic view so essential for weight loss.

In fact,I was pleasantly surprised to know that this is the only science which has recognized obesity as a desease thousands of years back and suggested a remedy for the same!
