Worldwide Obesity Rate Is Growing As Fast as Your Surgeon's Wallet
The outlook is grim bright. The World Health Organization estimates that 1.6 billion people worldwide are overweight or obese. The death toll associated with obesity runs to 2.5 million annually, and the numbers haven’t reached their peak. The British Heart Foundation predicts that half the population of the UK could be obese within 25 years. The toll on health and quality of life is enormous. So is the price tag. A 2007 UK report estimated an annual loss in healthcare costs and lost working hours at £45billion (about US$72 billion.

Urea Cycle Failure Triggered by Gastric Bypass Surgery
This is another way gastric bypass can kill you. Urea cycle failure is a not so rare genetic disorder. It is also called wasting syndrome. As you may know gastric bypass works by bypassing nearly all the the small intestine. Shortening the small intestine causes an irreversible condition called mal-absorption syndrome. Mal-absortption makes the absorption of essential nutrients impossible.
Lying scumbag doctors told Hilary X that gastric bypass surgery was her option. None of them warned her knew about a
disorder called acquired urea cycle failure. As a result Hilary X died a prolonged and agonizing death.
Her problems began about four years after the gastric bypass surgery. Doctors at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were too stupid and too lazy to figure out what was killing her. No nutritional equation worked because her body was turning protein into ammonia and her liver was failing to convert it to urea. Her body could not excrete the toxin.

Cynthia Le Mons, executive director of the
National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation, believes the complication that
led to Hilary X's death is not as rare as doctors think. She knows
of six women who have developed urea cycle failure after gastric bypass
surgery since 2007. Five of the six died.
"That's just the tip of the iceberg," Le Mons said. "If we know about it, it's just a microcosm of what is going on."

L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid. In hepatocytes, the addition of carbon dioxide and ammonia to ornithine synthesizes L-citrulline during the urea cycle. The enzymes argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase, when in the presence of L-aspartate and ATP, converts L-citrulline into L-arginine . Subsequently, L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthase and L-citrulline is regenerated as a by-product .
Citrulline, a non-standard amino acid not normally present in protein, is an intermediate in the conversion of the amino acid ornithine to arginine during the urea cycle.
Citrulline Uses
Citrulline’s main function is its ability to remove ammonia and is essential for the excretion of oxidative waste processes. It is also used for treatment of Ornithine Transcarbamylase, a urea cycle disorder. Urea cycle disorder is a genetic disorder consisting of a deficiency of one of the enzymes needed in the urea cycle. Citrulline is critical in the improvement of immune system deficiencies and overall functioning.
Malic Acid, a key component of the energy production yielded via the Kreb’s cycle, conditions and assists lactate and pyruvate toward anabolism rather than catabolism. Supplementation of this nonessential amino acid has reduced fatigue significantly as well as increase energy production. Documentation has shown citrulline to significantly increase the body’s metabolic rate, aerobic performance, and provide reductions in the onset of muscular fatigue.
In conclusion, citrulline supplementation may not only boost physical activity performance, but also provide our bodies with a means of eliminating the amino acid breakdown products of protein metabolism. Equally important is the detoxification of ammonium and lactate from the blood.

Weight Loss Surgery Nightmare or Glutton's Dream?
Woman Now Has to Eat 5,000 Calories a Day to Stay Alive After Weight Loss Surgery
- Julie Dunbar, 51, had weight loss surgery after her weight hit 20st 7lb or 287 pounds.
- Lost 14 stone or 238 pounds in a year and became dangerously malnourished
- Needed tube feeding and three more ops to partly undo stomach reduction
- Now has illness resulting from severe malnourishment and lack of vitamins
- Has to eat 5,000 calories a day to get enough nutrients to stay alive
One of the drawbacks of gluttony is getting fat and obese. The whole point of life for fat people/gluttons is eating and the more we eat the happier we are. With this type of surgery gluttony no longer harm our health! How great is that!
By Chris Brooke
A pub landlady who underwent a gastric bypass operation has become so thin she must eat a mountain of food every day to stay alive.
The slimming surgery caused Julie Dunbar’s body to stop absorbing the nutrients it needs.
In 12 months, her weight plummeted from 20st 7lbs or 238 pounds to a skeletal 6st –84 pounds and she ended up in hospital dangerously malnourished and close to death.
Full-time job: Ms Dubar says her daily calorie requirement (pictured) means she is 'constantly eating' and spends at least £200/$307 dollars a week on food.
Doctors told her the only solution was to eat 5,000 calories a day – more than double the recommended daily amount for women and far more than she ever used to eat – because her body can ingest only a fraction of the nutrients she takes in.

In 2010, Miss Dunbar paid £10,000 to have the biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch operation at the private Spire Hospital in Leeds. In this type of weight-loss surgery a large part of the stomach is removed and the small intestine re-routed. The object is to reduce the amount of time the body has to capture calories and absorb fat.
Following the operation, her weight dropped so quickly and her eating increased that her sister Karen, 50, was inspired to have the same procedure.

The Truth About Healthcare In America
The criminal corporate thugs who run the American healthcare system would like you to believe that the reason healthcare is so expensive in the United States is because it is your fault. Criminals who run the American healthcare system are the same criminals who run the health insurance companies, drug companies, medical device companies and doctors.
Is not your fault that Americans pay three times the world average for healthcare. The American healthcare system is run by vile contemptible treasonous criminal corporatists.
Obesity in the short term does cost the health care system more but in the long term because fat people die sooner obesity actually cost the healthcare system less.
For any Obama haters reading this, you now have my permission for go fuck yourselves.

Bariatric Surgeons Are Incompetent
From Obesity Help
Gastric Bypass, and the surgeons who perform it, have left me near death, with a feeding tube, living off disability and uninsurable. That's why I need to share my story to explain some of the common, yet avoidable, complications of Bariatric Surgery. This surgery is becoming too commercialized and routine, and many times it's being performed without the patient being educated of the life-long changes they need to make in order to be successful and healthy long-term.
I had Bariatric Surgery, or Open Gastric Bypass, in December 2002. I was 33 years old and had been overweight and/or obese the majority of those years. I did at least 2 years of research before surgery plus continued my research post-op and was extremely excited for what was to come. Within the first two weeks I lost 18 pounds. Wow! Then it stopped. I was eating tiny, well-balanced 2 ounce meals but the weight would not budge. I did not touch sugar, fat or anything with high calories. I only drank water. I followed the doctors orders to the letter. But I was not exercising.
I started exercising and the weight started coming off. I exercised for 90 minutes, 6 days a week. If I stopped exercising for a week, it would take me a month to lose another pound. I fought for every pound I lost. It took two years, but at 5 feet, 3 inches tall, I went from 275 pounds to 160 pounds and was on top of the world, still exercising and eating right.
In March of 2008 I had some dental work done. I was put on 1600mg of ibuprofen a day for 2 months. Roughly 2 months after I discontinued the use of ibuprofen I started vomiting. It quickly became a daily occurrence. One day after eating my small breakfast and lunch, around 2:00 PM I had to vomit again, but this time I realized it included dinner from the previous night.
Scared, I ended up at a gastroenterologist who ran a camera scope down my throat and said that the opening from my stomach to my intestines had closed down to the size of a pinhole due to scar tissue. I was told that scar tissue is considered a common complication for Gastric Bypass patients. After reviewing my medical history he asked if I use ibuprofen, and I was then told that Gastric Bypass patients should not take ibuprofen or any NSAIDS, as it causes scar tissue. For 6 years I had been taking a few NSAIDS for aches and pains here and there. None of my doctors had said anything.
I wish my story ended there. To make this short, my gastroenterologist did a scope with balloon dilation to open up the scar tissue, a procedure that works on all but 2% of bypass patients. I am part of that 2%. After having 2 scopes with balloon dilation, I was told I needed Gastric Revision surgery.
On January 29, 2009 my new bariatric surgeon performed an Open Gastric Revision surgery, which split me from the tip of my chest-bone down to my belly button. He was well-known, recommended and even had a commercial on television about gastric bypass. However, right after surgery I was still vomiting. Not even two weeks after surgery they performed another scope down my throat and my gastroenterologist wrote in my record that the bariatric surgeon had sewn my stomach shut. Now, instead of a stricture from my stomach to my intestines, I had a stricture from my esophagus to my stomach. The surgeon denied it, saying that I had rebuilt scar tissue within those two weeks. After 5 months, 7 additional scopes with balloon dilation and 59 days in the hospital, I was forced to get a feeding tube, fired from my job, left with no insurance, and had to go on disability. I am now down to 121 pounds. I've lost all muscle mass, fat, menstruation, and nearly all of my teeth due to malnutrition. My nutrients are fed to me 12-16 hours a day through a tube in my chest that sits right on my bra line.
There is more to my story, but I tried to condense it as best as I could. I am trying to get my story to other patients, or those considering gastric bypass, through talk shows, magazines, online, etc., in hopes that by hearing my story I can help people realize that gastric bypass is not a quick fix. It's a tool, which if used correctly, takes effort, changes in diet, changes in medication and supplements, amount of food eaten and exercise. Things that can also be done without the surgery and some of the common complications that come with it. I'm hoping that patients and their doctors research and educate all facets of this procedure, short and long-term. I would not be where I am today if I had known NSAIDS caused scar tissue, and I have researched this surgery extensively. I'm also hoping that by getting my story publicized, I might find a doctor who specializes in this field as I'm told I need additional surgery to make a new stomach out of my remaining intestines. Until then, I will survive on my feeding tube and disability.
I appreciate you reading my story. I hope this is not the end of my story, but just a positive beginning. Thank you so much for your time.

Corrupt FDA Corrupt Doctors
Americans Fed up with Drug Industry Influence and FDA Corruption
By Mike
Adams, Natural News Editor
More than four out of five Americans think drug companies have
too much influence over the Food and Drug Administration, and 84 percent believe
that advertisements for prescription drugs with safety concerns should be
outlawed, reveals a striking new survey from Consumer Reports.
The survey results, released today, are based on a telephone survey of 1,026 American adults conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. They reveal the Food and Drug Administration to be alarmingly out of touch with the concerns of the American people. Some of the most interesting results include:
• 96 percent agreed the government should have the power to require warning labels on drugs with known safety problems. As Consumer Reports explains, "Right now, the Food and Drug Administration must negotiate safety warning labels with a drug maker."
• 84 percent agree that drug companies have "too much influence over the government officials who regulate them." More than two-thirds of those surveyed are concerned that drug companies actually pay the FDA to review and approve their drugs. It's a situation that turns drug companies into the "customers" of the FDA. (See related cartoon, The Puppets of Big Pharma)
• 92 percent agree that pharmaceutical companies should disclose the results of ALL clinical trials, not just the ones with positive results that they wish to publicize. (Currently, drug companies can bury negative drug trials, and the FDA has in fact been caught conspiring with drug companies to keep negative drug data secret from the public.)
• 93 percent think that the FDA should have the power to demand follow-up
safety studies from drug companies. Currently, the FDA has no authority to
require follow-up safety studies on drugs after they are introdued to the
market. This is a serious oversight shortfall, given that many problems with
drugs only appear after widespread use. (Patients are widely used as guinea pigs
in any new drug launch.)The survey results, released today, are based on a telephone survey of 1,026 American adults conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. They reveal the Food and Drug Administration to be alarmingly out of touch with the concerns of the American people. Some of the most interesting results include:
• 96 percent agreed the government should have the power to require warning labels on drugs with known safety problems. As Consumer Reports explains, "Right now, the Food and Drug Administration must negotiate safety warning labels with a drug maker."
• 84 percent agree that drug companies have "too much influence over the government officials who regulate them."

It's a situation that turns drug companies into the "customers" of the FDA. (See related cartoon, The Puppets of Big Pharma)

(Currently, drug companies can bury negative drug trials, and the FDA has in fact been caught conspiring with drug companies to keep negative drug data secret from the public.)
FDA Conflicts of Interest. Click to view full cartoon. |
New rules proposed by the FDA would reduce this level of corruption by allowing doctors to receive a maximum of $50,000 per year from companies impacted by their decisions. (Thereby making the FDA numerically less corrupt than it is now, but still tolerating blatant conflicts of interest. It's like setting a "bribery ceiling.")
• 91 percent said they had seen a drug advertisement on television or in print (a "victory" accomplished by the FDA legalizing such ads in 1998), and 26 percent said they asked their doctor for a brand-name medication after learning about it from an advertisement. This is the purpose of advertising, of course: To increase sales of drugs, not -- as is claimed by Big Pharma and the FDA -- to "educate" patients about medical treatments.
• 75 percent agreed that the allowing of drug advertising has resulted in the over-prescribing of pharmaceuticals. Fifty-nine percent said the government should restrict pharmaceutical advertising, and 26 percent said they "strongly agree" with such restrictions.
Direct-to-consumer advertising is the bread and butter of Big Pharma, and it is the primary reason the industry has exploded its revenues and influence since 1998. The invention and marketing of fictitious diseases via television advertising has proven instrumental to the drug industry's successful pushing of medically unjustified drugs onto consumers. (See the Disease Mongering Engine to invent your own fictitious diseases and disorders right now!)
• The survey further revealed 54 percent of consumers think that viewing drug advertisements allows them to "take charge of their health care." The survey did not, however, reveal whether these people were in fact suffering from deterimental cognitive side effects at the moment they were taking the survey. Statistically, it seems reasonable to assume that approximately half of the adults taking the survey were on drugs at the time they were answering the survey questions.
When Pharmacists Tell the Truth. Click to view full cartoon. |
Most side effects go unreported, and there is currently no enforced legal requirement that doctors or drug companies report known side effects to the FDA. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, prescription drugs currently kill approximately 100,000 Americans each year. None of those deaths are accurately recorded as "death by pharmaceuticals."
• As mentioned earlier, 84 percent agree that advertisements should be outlawed for drugs with safety concerns. The United States is the only advanced nation in the world that allows drug companies to advertise directly to consumers. It was legalized in 1998 by the FDA, following political pressure and influence from the drug companies who knew that being able to promote fictitious diseases and push brand-name drugs would result in windfall profits. (Some drugs are sold at markups as high as 300,000% over the cost of their ingredients.)
The makers of Vioxx and Paxil had studies that indicated safety problems for years, but did not release those results to the public. - Consumer Reports The real threat of pharmaceuticals
Interestingly, the survey did not ask consumers the following question: How many Americans do you think is acceptable for the drug companies to kill each year?
Because right now, that number is, conservatively, about 100,000 American citizens. More realistic estimates put it at double that number, or 200,000. I've often stated that pharmaceuticals kill more Americans each year than diet in the entire Vietnam War, and the number of Americans killed by acts of terrorism are dwarfed by the number killed by prescription drugs that the FDA and drug companies unquestionably knew were killing people. It's not that these deaths were truly accidental... they were fully documented but ignored anyway by an industry that is now clearly a very real threat to the health and safety of the American people.
This is no exaggeration: The number of people killed by FDA-approved pharmaceuticals since 9/11 is equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb on a major U.S. city. International terrorists could not even hope to cause the number of casualties in the United States that have been achieved by the drug companies working in conspiracy with the FDA.
If we don't put limits on the influence and corruption of the drug companies by banning drug ads and demanding serious FDA reforms, the body count will only get worse. Consumers are finally waking up to this reality, and they're increasingly demanding "get tough" solutions that would require the FDA to protect the people instead of protecting Big Pharma profits.
As Bill Baughan, a senior policy analyst with Consumers Union (Consumer Reports), said, "Consumers expect Congress to take their concerns about drug safety seriously, and deliver legislation that will prevent future Vioxx-type disasters. Failure to act this year on the strongest possible bill, when more than 80 pecent of Americans agree that Congress should do whatever is necessary to ensure drug safety, would equate to gross legislative malpractice." Most Americans agree with NaturalNews
What's really interesting about these results is that they show most Americans agree with NaturalNews on issues like drug advertising, ending conflicts of interest at the FDA, requiring all clinical trials to be published, and other similar topics covered in this survey.
Meanwhile, very few Americans agree with the FDA or the wishes of organizations like the American Medical Association and drug companies themselves -- most of which like things just fine the way they are.
Drug companies, of course, would love to maintain the status quo and continue conducting business as usual. But thanks to grassroots consumer advocacy campaigns such as StopDrugAds (www.StopDrugAds.org), and sites like this one, the real story about the dangers of pharmaceuticals are no longer being censored and kept from the public.
The word is out: Pharmaceuticals are now the 4th leading cause of death in America. The best way to protect Americans from these dangerous, deadly products is to enact sweeping reforms that end the medical racket currently being operated by the FDA / Big Pharma tag-team.
Unfortunately, many of the very lawmakers who will vote on this pending legislation are, much like FDA advisors, "on the take" from the very same pharmaeutical companies that stand to be impacted by their vote. And no lawmakers that I know of are abstaining from the vote due to conflicts of interest. The reality is that Big Pharma has bought Congress, and whatever vote that will soon emerge is a far cry from the real reforms we'd see if our national lawmakers weren't financially beholden to the drug companies for their own reelection campaigns.
Thus, if Congress actually manages to pass a law that would eliminate drug company influence over FDA decision makers, it would be a clear case of lawmakers under the influence of drug money passing laws to eliminate the influence of drug money for others, but not for themselves.
There should be a law against that, it seems.

True facts about the FDA
The following are facts about the FDA I've documented in my new book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them. As this book reveals, the FDA has:Worked to keep deadly drugs on the market as long as possible before
reluctantly pulling them (usually only after being sued by groups like
Public Citizen). The astonishing story of Rezulin, a diabetes drug, is a
good example. | |
Repeatedly banned and confiscated herbs and nutritional supplements that
compete with prescription drugs. Ephedra, for example, was banned by the FDA
based on a political agenda, not good science. | |
Conducted armed raids on alternative medicine clinics, confiscating
computers, threatening alternative health practitioners, and scaring away
patients. (See Tyranny in
the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and
supplement companies) | |
Ordered the destruction of recipe books promoting stevia, a natural
sweetener that competes with sales of aspartame
(yes, the FDA actually ordered the books to be destroyed). | |
Been caught red-handed accepting bribes. | |
Voted to put deadly drugs right back on the market even after such drugs
were recalled by their manufacturer. | |
Openly opposed the banning of junk food
advertising to children during World
Health Organization meetings. | |
Suppressed information about the harm caused by dangerous
drugs in order to prevent the press and the public from learning
the truth about them. | |
Attempted to silence its own drug safety scientists to prevent them from
going public with the truth about dangerous drugs. | |
Censored scientific information about the benefits of natural foods like cherries
by threatening cherry growers with legal action if they did not remove
scientific information about cherries from their websites. (See FDA
tyranny and the censorship of cherry health facts) | |
Pursued and shut down companies selling genuine cancer
cures that provably work better than any prescription
drug (such as Lane Labs' MGN-3). | |
Vigorously argued against making "optimal health" a goal of the
Codex Alimentarius discussions, striking the phrase from the final report. | |
Rigged its drug safety review panels with decision makers who have
substantial financial ties to drug companies, even while refusing to
disclose such blatant conflicts of interest. | |
Planned, organized, and took part in armed "SWAT-style" raids on
vitamin shops, pet food stores, and even a church. | |
Knowingly approved harmful food
additives for widespread use in the
food supply (such as aspartame, which has a rather dubious history and
has been proven toxic in several studies), even when its own safety experts
recommended denying approval. | |
Allowed the continued legal use of harmful, cancer-causing food additives
in the national food supply such as sodium nitrite (which causes cancer and
yet is intentionally added to nearly all processed meats). | |
Refused to ban a poisonous artificial fat from the food supply (hydrogenated
oils) for decades, even though the World Health Organization urged
member nations to outlaw the substance in 1978. Hydrogenated oils continue
to harm infants, children, and adults today. |
It is clearly time to reform not merely the FDA, but the entire medical industry. Drug companies are running amok, and this new Consumer Reports survey reveals that consumers are finally fed up with it.
