i just left a message for my doctor about this, asking if he can get rid of blubber now that we know its just an inflammatory reaction?
we will see what he comes up with.
he’s previously told us..that if he knew how to reduce weight, he would treat himself first....doctor heal thyself and all that, ha!
we will see.
This seems to be entirely different research than in the recent Obesity-related disease trigger found, says UCSD team - FR / UCSD, 2014 June 13
Unfortunately, in today's rigid legal and regulatory environment, doctors may not be [legally] allowed to recommend the best treatment for the patients that they would choose for themselves.
Perhaps some hope for those of us with Crohns or RA.
if your obese, you eat too much, it’s that simple.
Crohns, RA, IBD, IBS and a number of other inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases.
You’re not fat, you’re just swollen!
I misread the headline - thought it said Obama is an inflammatory disease. Was impressed that medical science was finally catching up with reality.
Nope. I’m fat. trust me.
I just lost 21 pounds in the past 2 months. I eat only meat, green veggies, eggs and cheese. Also nuts and sugar free jello pudding for dessert. No wheat rice potatoes or sugar.
Correction: Obama is an inflammatory disease...Rat studies show.
It works.
I am fat and swollen
stoopid prednasone
stoopid ben and jerrys
stoopid repeated surgeries each 4 years!
It works quite well but you’re going to have a carb crash, prepare yourself for an episode of overwhelming craving. It hit me after about six months, it was no fun. I’d suggest introducing a very small amount of carbs to prevent this, maybe seasoned roasted potatoes once a week.
Whoa, you gotta two-fer
Sue Ben & jerry!
If it was sedentary lifestyles and plentiful food alone that caused the obesity epidemic, then it should have taken off in the 1950's.
Instead it took until the late 80s and 90s to really become a problem.
One hypothesis is that a virus spread throughout the population in 1980s-90s that perhaps was ignored because the immediate effects were either limited or similar to common cold/flu viruses.
Yet, this virus was different enough that it caused inflammation/immune response that led directly to obesity or subtle behavioral changes that eventually manifested itself as obesity.
I don’t remember a lot of sedentary lifestyles in the 50s at all. At least in the blue collar ranks, everybody was working pretty hard.
Of course darn near everyone smoked, maybe the nicotine kept everybody slim?
Obesity is a gland problem. So stop eating so many glands.
More research is in order, ping for later reading.
