Cut Down the Disease Tree Now!

By Stephan Izzi, MD

Obesity increases the chances of having heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It can also aggravate respiratory problems, arthritis, skin disorders, as well as depression. What many people dont realize is that obesity can also increase the risks of common cancers such as breast, uterine, colon, kidney, and esophagus cancers. Well over 90% of us will die from the diseases just mentioned, and obesity is the key to making them all more possible. If all these diseases were like the branches of a tree, then obesity is the trunk of this disease tree. It must be cut down.
Many of us find that diet and exercise just no longer work. The alternative is to leave your disease tree intact. You do have an option. You can reclaim power over your weight by using a doctor-prescribed, FDA-approved medication in a physician-supervised program. You cant give up. Its too important. You must control it. Give yourself permission to be healthy and more beautiful.
Contact a board certified physician, with years of experience helping people lose weight. A physician who has struggled with weight issues and has lived the frustration will have a sympathetic ear, and not be critical. You must realize that it is not all your fault. If it were, it would actually be easier to conquer. Medication can overcome some of the genetically-based forces causing this disease. It is not just a simple matter of will power.
Call forth your mental energy and call a doctor today. Give yourself the power to be healthy and beautiful. Youll be better when you lose weight!
