"Miracle" weight loss drug alli delivers more than you bargained for (diapers optional) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And if you eat more flaxseed or take fish oil capsules, guess what? alli will interfere with those, too, causing you to miss out on at least some of their benefits. What an incredibly genius idea for a drug! Transform adults into diaper-wearing little children, then leave them in a state of nutritional deficiency. Only a drug company could have thought of this one! (And only a desperate, gullible public could actually believe the hype on a drug like this...) If you're considering taking alli, you can save yourself the money by following these three simple steps: 1) Sit on the toilet.

Nutritional deficiencies The dirty-your-britches side effect isn't the only thing about alli that makes me wonder what kind of desperate weight loss newbies are going to pop these pills: I'm also concerned about the fact that the drug interferes with the absorption of essential fatty acids. Given that most overweight people are already extremely deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and other healthy oils, this alli drug is likely to put them in an even worse state of deficiency. The drug works by interfering with the digestion of dietary fats, you see.

The manufacturer of alli actually recommends that consumers "carry an extra pair of pants" with them at all times, just in case the side effects kick in. Why not just wear diapers? Alli takers who brown their britches are the lucky ones, by the way. Imagine what happens when these side effects kick in while you're in the hot tub! Better yet, see the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7JMzDjIkVc (it's called "Hot Tub Mishap"). One mishap like that and you'll literally have to move to a new city and try to make new friends who hopefully haven't seen your video on YouTube.

Given that most overweight people are already extremely deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and other healthy oils, this alli drug is likely to put them in an even worse state of deficiency. The drug works by interfering with the digestion of dietary fats, you see. That may sound great if you're eating a diet of fried foods, hydrogenated oils and processed meat products, but even if you block the absorption of those obesity-promoting fats, you're still left in a state of deficiency concerning the healthy oils like omega-3 fatty acids.

Yep: All it takes is one alli accident + some creep at the office with a web cam mobile phone, and your ass is all over the internet in a very humiliating way. If you don't believe me, check out "Karate Guy Craps In His Pants" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZLq90YeNNg Just think, this could be YOU! I find it interesting that this weight loss drug makes adults need to wear diapers. It's quite appropriate, actually, since people who take these weight loss drugs are acting like babies about their own health. Americans just need to grow up and start acting like adults for a change.

Speaking of shorts, alli has some very entertaining side effects. The drug can cause explosive oily stools to involuntarily eject from your bowels. While that may sound like fun if you're at a frat party, it's certainly not an enjoyable experience when commuting, driving, or hanging out at the office. Dirtying your britches is bound to make the gossip rounds in mere minutes, earning you new nicknames and a repulsive, date-spoiling reputation that will be difficult to overcome.

Alli weight loss drug has disgusting side effects and may block fat-soluble vitamins Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: Everybody is excited, it seems, about the new weight loss drug alli, which will soon be sold over the counter (no prescription necessary). An FDA review panel gave it the thumbs up, saying it thought the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks to health. alli is based on the prescription drug Orlistat, which has been on the market for a while and has been giving people diarrhea, anal leakage and other entertaining side effects for quite some time. I'm sure we'll all hear more about these side effects as word about this weight loss drug spreads. Let's take a second look at this drug.

Well, it turns out that alli is just barely effective in clinical trials. Patients who took this drug lost about 1 pound a month. That's hardly any weight loss that all. That's the same amount of weight loss that you could experience simply by eating about a thousand fewer calories a week, which comes down to just a few cans of soda per week. By the way, that weight loss reversed itself as soon as people went off the drug, meaning they gained it right back.

Alli's official website, MyAlli.com, admits that weight-loss cannot be achieved with Orlistat alone, stressing the importance of a good balanced diet and regular exercise—the typical disclaimer found on any weight-loss product that doesn't work. High Protein Foods Make You Fat and Low Energy Foods Deplete Energy Not such good news for the Atkins diet friends. The results of a four-nation study involving more than 4,000 men and women ages 40 to 59 produced a stunning conclusion in our Atkins diet-fueled society: the thinnest people on Earth eat the most carbohydrates.

It finally occurred to one FDA bureaucrat that the new anti-obesity drug, alli (Orlistat) caused so much diarrhea and involuntary anal discharge that it doubled as an anti-constipation drug. So now it's a two-fer: Take alli and you can lose weight at the same time you solve your constipation problems. Just be sure to have a few extra pairs of underwear on hand in case the small-print side effects turn out to be true. Or else your dog won't be the only thing your friends call "Spot.

Nutrients depleted: If you do decide you want to try Xenical or Alli's program—which, like most weight-loss regimens, involves drastic dietary changes and exercise—you can also expect to be depleted of important fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, K, and the carotenes. Needed supplements: • High-potency multivitamin: Use a multivitamin that contains all of the fat-soluble nutrients and with a meal for better absorption.

California suckered yet again California is suing the federal government over its bungled Medicare prescription drug benefit plan, which has left so many senior citizens without prescription drugs for so long that they're actually starting to regain some mental clarity and realize what's going on.
