Let’s discuss the safety and efficacy of various weight loss methods, from Botox and corsets to siphons and tapeworms.
a medium fat person doing Moderately intense physical activity, such as biking or brisk walking, will burn about 350 calories an hour, but most drinks, snacks and other processed junk are consumed at a rate of about 70 calories (293 kJ) per minute. Therefore, it only takes five minutes to finish an entire hour of exercise.
enter AspireAssist Siphon Assembly.
It is a percutaneous gastrostomy device, which means the surgeon Cutting A hole in a person’s stomach and a fistula tunneling through the abdominal wall. So, after each meal, the person can attach a suction gadget into the hole and suck out their stomach contents straight away, as you can see at 0:47 below and in my video extreme weight loss tools.
This means you can gorge On donuts, pop them out through the hole in your stomach, then eat more donuts. Have your cake, and eat it too…and two, three, and four more times!
This seems like a quintessential American invention, straight from the land that brought us Jell-O salads, spray cheese, and deep-fried Snickers bars. patients do lose Weight, perhaps partly because the fistula may interfere with relaxation of the stomach wall during meals. process is also required drink Drinking plenty of water and chewing food thoroughly can both help with weight loss by increasing hydration and slowing the rate of eating. patients too started Make healthy choices to avoid the unpleasant sight of gastric aspirates from unhealthy foods. (The tubing is clear, and, apparently, fried foods look especially gross as they are taken out.)
All patients should Take Supplement potassium, as it is absorbed into the stomach juices. Otherwise, they run the risk of developing potassium deficiency (a common complication in bulimia), but most side effects occur. Are Just minor wound complications. Serious adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers, Are Rare. big selling point Is The siphon device does not change the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract. It seems like a small thing, but in today’s Wild West world of weight loss procedures, you can’t take anything for granted. Take For example, duodenojejunal bypass liner.
Gastric bypass surgery works by partially cutting off a section of the small intestine so that it is no longer in the flow of food, which helps prevent the absorption of calories. Instead of major surgery, how about simply inserting a few feet of plastic tube to line the intestinal walls? The problem with Endobarrier is that it has to be stabilized in the digestive tract. It is accomplished with 10 barbed thorns that cause wounds, which accounted for the majority of the 891 adverse effects reported in 1,056 patients — about 9 out of 10 people. Severe penetrating trauma, resulting in esophageal perforation or liver abscess, is rare (occurring in only 1 in 27 patients).
been worrying raised About the “deliciousness” of the AspireAssist stomach pump, but the most difficult endoscopic procedure. discovered In my research there was “regeneration” of the intestines. Why cover the inside of your intestines with plastic to prevent absorption when you can just do “thermal” to cut apart Superficial duodenal mucosa”? In other words, has the lining of your intestines been burned away – or rather, “regenerated.”
surgeons have tried injection Botox is injected into the stomach walls of obese individuals in the hopes that it will partially paralyze their gastric muscles, slowing stomach emptying, making people feel full longer and losing weight. It did not happen Work.
Swedish researchers tried randomize People will have to wear the corset 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, for nine months. And it didn’t work. Study participants did not wear corsets – they were “considered uncomfortable.” Oh.
“Sanitized tapeworm” has apparently been widely used Advertised As a weight loss remedy since the early 1900s. The fact that there are living tapeworms discovered Studies showing that infecting yourself with parasites during bariatric surgery may also not be particularly effective.
Speaking of hateful strategies, how about hate? a search Officer “Harnessing the power of disgust: A randomized trial to reduce the appeal of high-calorie food through implicit priming” tried to use subliminal messages to ruin people’s appetite. Just before showing pictures of healthy foods, researchers briefly showed pictures of happiness — such as a group of kittens — for 20 milliseconds. It’s too early to consciously register, but the hope was to leave a positive impression on the brain. Before showing pictures of high-calorie foods like ice cream, they showed negative scenes like a cockroach on a slice of pizza, vomit in a dirty bathroom, and burn wounds. Apparently, it worked! Subjects later reported less desire to eat high-calorie foods, although this was not directly tested. The researchers concluded that unconscious disgust “may be a successful strategy for coping with the onslaught of food cues that promote unhealthy eating….”
The rest of the world is watching in shock at American conspiracies, penning Comments like “Don’t let them eat the cake! A view from across the pond”. a paper in the journal obesity surgery Officer “What are the Yanks doing?” “The American experience with implantable gastric stimulation” reviewed. insert Electrodes in the muscle layer of the abdominal wall. When that didn’t work, there was colon electrical stimulation. tried.
even more shocking Were Studies such as “Repetitive electrical brain stimulation reduces food intake in humans”. Although deep-brain electrodes have to be implanted Agreed a complication-prone operation, scientists have long Idea Can “implanting electrodes somewhere in the brain make people eat less.” there were holes drilled Wires were pushed through the skulls of five obese individuals, and into their brains for “electrostimulatory exploration.” Once the researchers looked around and found places where they were able to elicit a solid hunger response, they sent enough juice to fry the electro-coagulative lesions. It seemed Work in cats and monkeys, but researchers found Due to inflammation in the brain, obese people did not lose weight. Thankfully, as I explain in my book how not to dietHealthy, sustainable weight loss is not brain surgery.
