Eating less to cure hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
The procedure is said to be a safe and cost-effective method to reduce obesity-related problems such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
As a radical cost-cutting measure, the ministry should allow obese members of the public to undergo free weight-loss surgery as is done in Australia, where more than 8,000 lap-banding surgeries are conducted each year to reduce the A$7 billion (RM20.5 billion) obesity burden in New South Wales alone.
In Australia, the establishment of one-stop clinics to tackle obesity-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension and heart failure is about to take off.
Those with a body mass index greater than 30 are referred by their general practitioners to such clinics which have access to specialist doctors, diabetic-treatment nurses, dieticians, psychologists and exercise physiologists.
This multi-disciplinary approach should prove cost-effective in the long run."

A Spirit-guided comment:
It remains much smarter and wiser to simply and freely choose to eat less, down to the right amount (2PD-OMER Approach) in order to lose the VAT and possibly cure hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and/or dyslipidemia:
May dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as our Messiah, the Son of Man ...
.. by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful:
It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.
Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve paid for with their and our immortal lives.
Those who suffer from the powerful delusion predicted by the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 would deny this and perish ( gone !!! ) forever ...

Such will be the demise of all those who refuse to know **and** love the truth, Who is LORD Jesus Christ:

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...
.. for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)
Amen.

Be hungrier, which is healthier:

the st
omach so subjects eat less.
The procedure is said to be a safe and cost-effective method to reduce
obesity- related problems such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
I regret once again having to suggest the subjectline misleading and
fraught with difficulties.
The above says to reduce related problems, not to cure.
The other surgery methods which do one form of bypass or another while
more intrusive do provide superior results in reversing many symptoms.
Diabetes is particularly responsive as results appear at once before
significant weight loss occurs. The greatly increased levels of glp-1 are
quite effective with diabetes control and suppression of the abnormal
appetite often associated with morbid obesity.

The above is an example of the Ostrich Response so typical of Chung. It
is the equivalent of putting his head in the sand and ignoring what was
said as he does not have an legitimate response.
The important thing with the Ostrich Response with his head in the sand
is that it shows his ass sticking up.

But you say that like that's a bad thing!
In actual fact, it's every efficient -- Andy gets a satisfying rush
of that "There! I sure told them!!" feeling, while at the same time
the rest of us are saved from having to pay the slightest attention,
as we long ago learned to skip, on sight, any and all one-fish two-link
responses.
Andy's rather like one of those pull-my-string talking dolls in
that regard. You pull the string two or three dozen times,
you get the same mechanical mindless messages over and over, and
you soon lose interest in ever pulling the string again.

Good point - he does seem to repeat himself. Sort of reminds me of a
senile old uncle who kept telling the same stories over and over again.
Cary Kittrell
If his stories were interesting, then he's several sigmas
ahead of Andrew.

But all the senile old uncles I knew had the advantage that most of
their stories were true and about real life.
