Moringa, or the horseradish tree is getting a lot of attention for its dietary and weight loss properties, but studies show that the best weight loss is still found with a customized prescription hCG diet from Diet Doc.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 30, 2012

Moringa has long been used in Asia and India for its believed health benefits. A single serving of Moringa is believed to contain more essential vitamins and nutrients than many popular foods associated with those vitamins. For instance, an ounce of Moringa leaves are believed to contain more potassium than an ounce of banana, more vitamin C than an orange, etc. But for the best weight loss, as Moringa is now being marketed, it is unproven. While evidence seems to point to Moringa's nutritional viability, claims touting it as the next great weight loss supplement are unfounded. For those looking for a proven weight loss plan, capable of producing the fast weight loss desired with little to no side effects, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans announces a new hCG diet plan. With improved weight loss products and services, a Diet Doc prescription hCG diet is capable of producing the best weight loss on average of 1 pound per day in their clients. CEO of hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Julie Wright adds that "Our modernized hCG diet is currently the most scientifically developed hCG diet in the nation and the only weight loss solution capable of providing the best weight loss with such little side effects. The vast majority of our patients experience no adverse effects from hCG treatments because our in-house physicians thoroughly pre-screen patients before any treatment is provided."

hCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin was initially discovered to produce the best weight loss in 1954 by Dr. A. Simeons, who prescribed an ultra low calorie diet of only 500 calories in conjunction with pure hCG injections. Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans has since completely revamped this outdated weight loss diet to include more calories, up to 1250 daily, and more scientifically sound methods based on the latest nutritional science. Currently, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss Plans offers the only modernized version of the 58 year old hCG diet protocol. "Many doctors begun offering the original 1950's Dr. Simeons HCG diet, which promises dieters they will lose 1 pound per day if they consume a maximum of 500 calories daily while taking injections of hCG a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy" reports Wright.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet offers a clinically superior weight loss plan called the hCG diet that is specifically designed to fight obesity. The program that has helps 97% of patients experience fast weight loss is based on a personalized diet for each person depending on their health history, age, gender, lifestyle and preferences. This sophisticated doctor designed and physician managed weight loss plan also involves prescribing weight loss medication that has little to no side effects along with weight loss products like weight loss shakes and oils.

A 33-day extraordinary Diet session kicked off on Monday under unusual circumstances. The opposition in the Upper House refused to listen to a policy speech by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda on the grounds that the chamber in the previous session passed a censure motion against him. Thus Mr. Noda gave his policy speech only in the Lower House. Such an action is unprecedented since the current Constitution took effect on May 3, 1947.

It is the Diet's duty to discuss policy matters on the basis of a policy speech given by the prime minister. The refusal to listen to the prime minister's policy speech runs counter to that principle. While a no-confidence motion by the Lower House against the prime minister has a constitutional basis, a censure motion by the Upper House against the prime minister has no legal basis. Therefore, the constitutionally questionable move by the opposition sets a problematic precedent. If the opposition forces take part in the deliberations in the Upper House budget and other committees, it will be difficult to find any logic in their contradictory courses of action.

The showdown between the ruling and opposition camps is not based on policy differences. Rather it is due to Mr. Noda's refusal to indicate when he will dissolve the Lower House despite calls to do so by the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito, respectively the No. 1 and No. 3 opposition parties. In an attempt to have Mr. Noda accede to their demand, the LDP and Komeito have taken hostage a bill to issue bonds to cover some 40 percent of the fiscal 2012 budget.

The delay in the passage of the bill is already causing a reduction of spending from the budget. If this situation continues, it will negatively impact people's lives. Both Mr. Noda and the opposition camp must place priority on avoiding such a situation. They should make serious efforts to strike a compromise that will allow the deficit-covering bonds issuance bill to be enacted.

Another important issue pending in the Diet is the enactment of bills to rectify the disparity in the value of a vote between depopulated rural areas and urban areas for both Lower and Upper House elections. The passage of a reapportionment bill for the Lower House is particularly urgent because an election will likely to be held sooner than the Upper House election scheduled for next summer. To prevent the Supreme Court from declaring future election results null and void, the DPJ should give up its rather complicated plan for reforming the Lower House election system and the Diet should simply pass a bill to rectify the Lower House vote value disparity as quickly as possible.

Both the ruling and opposition parties should realize that the stalling of Diet business is causing frustration and anxiety among voters and driving them into the arms of new political forces led by Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto and Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara.

Partisan politics hobble Diet

A large federal trial, looking at lifestyle--diet and exercise--for the treatment of diabetes was just terminated because, after 11 years, it wasn't working as intended. The Look AHEAD study was stopped early because it was not reducing the rate of heart attack and stroke in the intervention group relative to the control. The termination was reported in a press release by the National Institutes of Health, and picked up by mainstream media. The findings suggest that diet and exercise are not effective for reducing the cardiovascular complications of diabetes.

And so, AHEAD, or at least the media coverage of it, is inviting us to look back, and doubt what we thought we knew about diet as the best medicine we've got--for diabetes, at least. We thought we knew that lifestyle was among the most powerful determinants of health outcomes. We thought we knew that diet and exercise together could prevent heart attacks in high-risk people. Participants in the AHEAD intervention lost 8 percent of their body weight by the end of the first year of the trial and were still down 5 percent from their baseline weight at the four-year mark. We thought we knew that diet, exercise, and weight management like this exerted important influences on the course of diabetes. Now, the AHEAD findings suggest we were wrong. Right? Not so fast.

For one thing, the trial did generate many noteworthy benefits. Prior papers in the Archives of Internal Medicine and the New England Journal of Medicine have reported significant benefits of lifestyle intervention related to weight loss, fitness, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and mobility. The study was terminated for failing to prevent heart attacks and strokes, but it did reduce medication use, and conferred other benefits--such as a significant reduction in sleep apnea.

The AHEAD methodology also helps account for the putatively disappointing results of the long-term study. Diabetes requires treatment--so all patients in AHEAD were treated. Those in the lifestyle intervention group reduced their reliance on medication, while those in the control group took more. But since failing to treat diabetes with state-of-the-art medication is unethical, everyone was provided that. The study was actually comparing feet and forks to pharmacotherapy. When both intervention and control groups are being treated, differences between them diminish, an occurrence known in research as "bias toward the null." This exerted a profound effect in the AHEAD trial, making the positive findings more noteworthy still.

But to the extent that the negative results, with regard to cardiovascular event prevention, remain both surprising and disappointing, there is a fundamental explanation for them: too little, too late. What works for prevention may not always work nearly as well for treatment.

Need an image to help that notion really resonate? Let's talk about jumping out of an airplane. A parachute is great for preventing a high-velocity collision with the ground,but it's of no use at all if opened after the landing. Sometimes, timing is everything.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)--the precursor to AHEAD, in fact, and based on the very same lifestyle intervention--showed that diet, exercise, and modest weight loss could prevent the development of diabetes in 58 percent of high-risk adults. The best drug we've got, metformin, was only half that good. And let's be clear: complications of diabetes don't happen when the diabetes doesn't happen.

The DPP was not a warm-up band for AHEAD. It was a huge federal trial in its own right, run by many of the same people who ran AHEAD. It enrolled thousands of pre-diabetic adults and was supported with a budget of $174 million. The DPP administered the lifestyle intervention adapted for AHEAD. We can't toss out the original DPP results just because AHEAD didn't serve up a repeat. The results of prior trials don't vanish just because new results come along. Whatever we need to learn from AHEAD needs to be reconciled with what we learned before.

We have long had evidence that a comprehensive lifestyle intervention can shrink plaque in coronary arteries. We have evidence that it can prevent heart attacks in high-risk individuals. And we have evidence that it can even change gene expression, and potentially reduce the risk of cancer occurrence, recurrence, and progression.

How do we reconcile such findings with the latest from AHEAD? As a case of a bit too little, quite a bit too late.

Diet, Diabetes, and Doubt: Is Preventive Medicine Lost in Space?

The FDA has allowed the release of two new weight loss drugs, with another on the horizon. However, in-house surveys conducted by Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans reveal still much more weight lost with a prescription hCG diet from Diet Doc than each of the new FDA approved weight loss drugs.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 30, 2012

Those considering weight loss often become overwhelmed with the amount of weight loss plans available, some of which are FDA approved. To aid the ever increasing obesity epidemic in America, the FDA recently approved 2 weight loss drugs and is in the process of approval of a third. But in the weight loss race, these drugs only produce nominal weight loss, while the hCG diet leads the pack with an average of a pound per day of real weight loss. In their effort to continually improve the hCG diet, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans has modified the original hCG diet protocol to allow more caloric intake, healthier diet foods made more effective and healthy by modern nutrition science, and the nation's leading diet support plan, integral to lose weight fast and future weight maintenance. Statistics released by the FDA reveal Qsymia's lack of ability to aid fast weight loss in patients. The study states that "After one year of treatment with the recommended and highest daily dose of Qsymia, patients had an average weight loss of 6.7 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively, over treatment with placebo." Likewise, the other new FDA approved weight loss drug Belviq does produce weight loss, but receives similar reviews. WebMD reports that "People taking Belviq had an average weight loss that was 3% to 3.7% greater than people taking placebo. After taking Belviq for one or two years, some 47% of people without diabetes lost at least 5% of their body weight. Only 23% of patients taking an inactive placebo lost this much weight."

For those worried about untested weight loss methods, prescription hCG also has FDA approval and has been proven to produce the best weight loss available. Dr. Harry A. Gusman, M.D. conducted studies on the original hCG diet and found it to "the most productive and safe approach to the best weight loss." Dr. Gusman conducted his study of the hCG diet on the original 1954 Dr. Simeons hCG protocol, and found it safe and effective for the best weight loss. Since then, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans has completely modernized the outdated Simeons hCG protocol based on modern science and research. Diet Doc offers the only modernized version of the hCG diet in the nation, supplementing prescription hCG treatments with a proprietary line of healthy weight loss foods and diet aids that lend to the hCG diet's safety and effectiveness. Since Dr. Simeons discovered the power of prescription hCG treatments, the field of nutrition science has emerged and advancements can now be applied to the hCG diet. Diet Doc has increased the amount of calories allowed while on the hCG diet from 500 to as much as 1250, and is still the best weight loss available. This is due again to nutritional science. With modern nutritional advancements, Diet Doc is able to pack much more essential vitamins and nutrients into less calories, and with human physiology making our understanding of the human body more clear, a diet plan can be created that allows dieters to consume calories without gaining weight, because Diet Doc understands that the type of calories consumed is more important than the amount.

As for providing the best weight loss, the hCG diet is also winning the weight loss race. Capable of producing a pound per day of weight loss, Diet Doc's hCG diet plan produces up to 11 times the weight loss that the new FDA approved diet drugs provide, and without the risk of harmful side effects. Julie Wright, CEO of Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans notes that "Diet Doc provides medically supervised patient care to people across the USA. We provide a collaborative approach to dieting, which is more labor intensive, but also more effective. We work with a team of physicians who are passionate about reducing obesity which is often the cause for many diseases and illnesses." With an hCG diet from Diet Doc, patients receive a clinically superior, physician monitored fast weight loss program called the hCG diet plan that is specifically designed to fight obesity.
