The Oprah Winfrey Weight Loss Riddle!

The Oprah Winfrey Weight Loss Riddle!

Clearwater, FL. Are you serious about losing weight? If you are, you can virtually ‘melt away your fat” from day one.

But first, let’s talk about Oprah and her weight loss riddle. When a person thinks about Oprah, as a super-star, her TV presence, and her popularity, she is in a class all by herself.

“I have lost 24 pounds in just 21 days. I was skeptical but I have to tell you, based on my results, I would recommend this to anyone who’s ever had a problem with getting weight off and keeping it off.”
G. Carney ~ Temecula, CA

Oprah’s Personal Struggles
I’m Dr. David Magnano., a practicing Chiropractic Physician in Clearwater, FL. I love helping people lose stubborn weight, and then show them how to keep it off, so take the time to read this short article.
When you think of Oprah, and her struggles with weight; and her short term successes, she is not in a class herself, but in a class with over 130 million or more overweight Americans who have tried and failed to lose weight, no matter what they do.
Oprah has a team of highly, well trained and highly educated “healthcare” providers at her disposal. Anytime. Anywhere.
Specialists to the Rescue
Dr. Mehmet Oz, (Dr. Oz as he is known on his TV show), everyone’s Marcus Welby is at her disposal and Oprah even has her own personal chef. She can eat the best of the best, and never have to touch a pot or a pan.)
So what’s my point? If Oprah has all this help, support, and guidance of extraordinary people and is still unable to keep her weight OFF, you have to ask yourself, “If Oprah can’t keep her weight off, what makes me think I can.
She has all the money, the best of the best people helping her, and can have anything she wants, anytime she wants, and still can’t lose weight, how can you lose weight?”
How Can You Be Successful
When Oprah Isn’t?
Why is it that over the past few years, there have been hundreds of patients at our office who complete the program and have been successful at long term weight-loss and maintenance without having Oprah’s money?
Do I know something that Oprah’s gurus, MD, and close friends don’t know? Why are most people still not able to figure out the so-called secrets to permanent weight-loss?

When Bob Green, a weight loss guru was on Larry King “LIVE” in January, 2009 he said, “Losing weight is not ‘rocket science’; he simply said, all you have to do is eat in moderation and exercise.
He is doing a great disservice to the millions of overweight Americans’ who do exactly what he suggests and still don’t lose weight. How frustrating is that?
How Can Diet and Exercise Fail?

Apparently Bob Green doesn’t understand that “diet and exercise” by themselves, fails miserably for a number of reasons. Here’s what he doesn’t understand.
When you eat less food, guess what. Your metabolism will slow down. Fat will oxidize and muscle expenditure will decrease, with eventual weight gain, frustration and failure by the person.
And then Bob tells Larry that ‘weight is a symptom of something else that needs to change in your life;’ suggesting that until a person makes better choices, and becomes more disciplined, they won’t lose weight. In other words until they “get their act together,” they have little hope for any real weight-loss. Not good information if you trying to lose weight permanently.

What’s The Real Answer Then?

I believe Oprah and millions of overweight people would do well to see a doctor who treats obesity as a chronic, metabolic, progressive, and genetic disease on a long term basis.
The problem with all of this is most overweight people are unable to find a simple, easy to follow system to reduce their ‘fat’ and then – keep it off. Even their coordination and attractiveness are destroyed with weight gain. Well all that will change when you start using this secret, one-of-a-kind exclusive weight-loss system.
“This is the best and most simple way to reduce your weight. I went from a size 20 to a size 10 in just 8 weeks. I don’t know about you, but I love this. It’s so simple, anyone can do it.” Cindy L. ~ San Diego, CA

Medical Errors Typically Go Unreported
In Touch Education Services

A January 6, 2012 report by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that hospital employees only report 14% of the adverse events, including medical errors, that cause harm to patients. They also don’t make procedural changes that could improve patient safety.
By federal law, hospitals must track all medical errors and adverse events that hurt patients. They are also required to take preventive steps to protect patients.
A 2010 study by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) said close to 180,000 Medicare patients a year experience medical errors in the hospital that contribute to their death. It also estimated that the cost of harm to Medicare patients each year is close to $4.4 billion.
In this study, the OIG studied 189 hospitals, each with an adverse incident-reporting system. Of those, 34 had reported events. “The administrators acknowledged that incident reporting systems provide incomplete information about how often events occur, but they continue to rely on the systems primarily because they value staff accounts of events,” the report said.
The report also noted that nurses most often report adverse events, and that hospital staff did not report 86 percent of events to incident reporting systems, “partly because of staff misperceptions about what constitutes patient harm.” Of those not reported, 62 percent were not seen by staff as being reportable and 25 percent were “commonly reported,” but not in the incident that was reviewed.
In a story on FoxNews.com, senior managing health editor Dr. Manny Alvarez said, “Medical mistakes are one of the biggest problems we have in health care today. We’re beginning to see that with more monitoring, we are identifying more problems. The issue however, is that you have to learn from mistakes — and there are still many doctors and hospitals that do not do that.”
In a written statement, Lisa McGiffert, director of Consumers Union’s Safe Patient Project said, “One in four hospital patients is harmed by medical errors and infections, which translates to about 9 million people each year. Today’s report confirms what many other studies have already documented. Hospitals are doing a very poor job of tracking preventable infections and medical errors and making the changes necessary to keep patients safe. It’s time that hospitals make patient safety a priority.”
McGiffert went on to say that simply reporting errors to officials is not enough. “Public reporting is what drives change and the public should have access to this critical information.”

The June 21, 2010 issue of the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health — Chiropractic reports on the case of a nine-month-old boy who experienced resolution of his recurring ear infections (otitis media) in a very short time after beginning chiropractic care.
His mother brought him to the chiropractor complaining that he had recurring ear infections every three weeks and his medical doctor was talking about the possibility of inserting ear tubes in his ears along with the antibiotics and antihistamines he was being given.
He was born via caesarian section and had no other history of head first falls. His mother stated that his ear infections began at four months of age after receiving his vaccinations. The mother took no medications during pregnancy and didn’t smoke or drink alcohol. The boy was breastfed for the first three months, formula for the next three months and began solid food at six months. No cow’s milk has been given to the child and there were no reported food or juice allergies or intolerances.
His initial chiropractic examination consisted of spinal thermal scans that assess skin temperature differences on either side of the spine. While equal readings are expected, unequal readings indicate areas of spinal involvement. This patient’s exam revealed he had spinal subluxations in the cervical, thoracic and sacral areas of the spine as well as slight torticollis of the neck. He was placed on a program of three visits per week with an assessment every visit.
After his first adjustment, he did not sleep well that night and returned the next day for a follow-up visit and another adjustment. Two days later, his mother said he was doing better and had “slept great.” He was adjusted again and sent home.
The following week, his mother reported he was not sleeping well and pulling at his right ear. Both ears were examined and were clear of fluid. He was adjusted that day and twice more that same week.
During the third week of care he was again checked and adjusted three times and by the end of the week was doing better and no longer pulling on his ears.
He was re-examined during the fifth week of care. His mother reported that he had not had any ear infections since beginning his care program and that he was taking longer naps and getting better quality sleep.
During his seventh week of care, he was re-evaluated by his ENT doctor. His ears were clear of fluid with no need for eartubes. He was no longer on the antihistamines and there was no more need for antibiotics.
His chiropractic care continues at a once per week schedule. Follow-up thermal scans reveal a persistent problem in the upper neck that is still being monitored.
Commentary: The authors list several facts supported by references presented in the study. “The most frequent reason for physician visits for children in the United States, under the age of fifteen is otitis media. Acute otitis media is the most common infection for which antibacterial agents are prescribed for children in the United States. In 1990 there were more than 20 million prescriptions for otitis media-related antibacterials prescribed and 25 million visits made to office-based physicians in the United States for this condition. Approximately 10% of infants by 3 months of age will have had an episode of acute otitis media. 50% of children by 3 years of age will have had more than three episodes of acute otitis media. The annual costs associated with the management of pediatric otitis media has been estimated at $5.3 billion.
How much pain and aggravation could be avoided (not to mention money saved) if every child, those with ear infections or not, were checked for spinal subluxations by a chiropractor as soon after birth as possible? Have you had your children checked? It’s the best way to ensure they will have every chance to live a healthy life.

Product of the Month

Dr. Lou Briegel’s book For the Love of Children Too is a book that should be on every Chiropractor’s Recommended Reading List.
Children are a blessing on this earth. As parents, they are God’s gift to us. It is our duty and responsibility to care for and protect them.
The most important thing a parent can do is become educated and remain calm when things happen. All too often, this is not the case. Instead, we panic and run to the self-proclaimed “professional”.
This book will help educate the parents to the miracles which surround them on a daily basis if only they remain calm and watchful.
The most important thing to understand out of all this information is exactly how the immune system works. Once you fully understand this, you will understand how to help support the strength of the immune system and what to avoid that compromises the integrity of the immune system.
In this twelve-chapter book, chiropractic care is addressed as it relates to children’s health. Such things as pregnancy, ear infections, fevers, allergies, asthma, scoliosis, hyperactivity, drugs, and three chapters on the vaccination issue.
Order them individually or in bulk to hand out to your patients. If we don’t tell our patients this information, who will?

Well, we will be talking to you again next month. In the meantime, keep up the good work and as usual, if you have any questions or we can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

A study presented at the December 2011 clinical meeting of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists finds that doctors are still prescribing antibiotics for ear infections despite guidelines to the contrary.
The 2004 guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians on the management of acute otitis media have not appreciably altered doctors’ antibiotic prescribing habits.
Margaret L. Hitzeman, who is a PharmD candidate, and Donald G. Klepser, PhD, both from the University of Nebraska in Omaha say that before the guidelines were issued in 2004, 87% of physician visits for acute otitis media resulted in an antibiotic prescription being written.
The percentage dropped to 84% between 2004 and 2006, but fell back to 88% in 2007 and 2008.
“The guidelines recommended a watch-and-wait approach for 72 hours before offering antibiotic treatment, but go ahead and treat for pain with agents such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the patient remains febrile, then begin high-dose amoxicillin,” Hitzeman explained.
“Since the guidelines came out, a number of opinion papers have pointed out that physicians are uncomfortable not prescribing antibiotics for acute otitis media, and there is also considerable patient demand,” she said.
“It will be interesting to see when the next set of guidelines is published if they stick with the initial watch-and-wait approach [because] physicians don’t seem to be willing to follow the recommendation,” she added.
