May 2, 2002: A lot of people have
written asking about my second megadose chitosan/vitamin C
experiment. Well, it's a long time coming, but I think this post is worth the wait. I
am happy to report that the combination of Chitosan/Vitamin C +
ECA works even better than I expected.
In addition to increasing the dose of chitosan/vitamin C, I adapted the dose to the amount of fat in the meal. It just makes
sense to take more chitosan/vitamin C if I'm going pig out
on pizza, and less if I'm being good and eating, say,
steamed vegetables. However, even if the meal contains very little fat, the
chitosan/vitamin C combination will make you feel full longer! The natural eating pattern
when megadosing chitosan/vitamin C seems to be two meals a day. This stuff can really
whack your appetite!
The results were outrageous! Without dieting (I ate as much as my appetite dictated) I lost about 3 pounds a week for a total of 37 pounds! It really
is possible to reproduce the incredible weight loss effect that I read about in medical
studies that fed lab rats HUGE doses of chitosan. I am definitely one happy lab rat.
I just obtained a medical article that says some chitosan supplements
are extensively ground to reduce the particle size so they can fit more in each capsule.
Sounds good, right? Wrong! According to this article, excessive
grinding reduces the average polymer molecular weight and the shorter polymer chain
lengths are less effective at entrapping chitosan-emulsified fat. Perhaps this
explains why a couple of studies found that chitosan failed to increase fecal fat
excretion. There may be a VERY significant difference in the effectiveness of different
brands of chitosan. I have gotten good results with Natrol Chitosan, but I am investigating
all the various manufacturing processes and products. I'll let you know what I find.
 Public Citizen wants the
FDA to recall Meridia. Prejudiced people feel obesity is not a real disease, so, since
we really don't NEED medication, they feel obesity drugs should be held to ridiculously
high safety standards. Obesity is killing us in record numbers and they get bent out of
shape about minor side effects. Geez! As discussed in Health
Canada Bans Thermogenic Supplements, Public Citizen has also been trying to get Big
Brother to ban ephedrine-based weight loss supplements. This kind
of clueless, misguided activism is a threat to the health of obese people. When it
comes time to vote, I hope people remember that all third parties are not created equal --
indeed, the only political party that would not empower prejudice via excessive government
is the Libertarian Party.

FTC
Commissioner wants the media to censor supplement ads that make questionable claims.
What a joke! About all the mainstream media is good at is churning out inaccurate,
ratings-boosting, sensationalized nonsense. Can you imagine them trying to evaluate the
scientific merit of health claims??? I think the commissioner missed the cluetrain.
 The
Nando Times has a good article on the ridiculous proposal to tax fatty foods. There is
even talk of suing the food industry just like they went after the tobacco industry. Of
course, the idea is to make up for the cost imposed on society by socialized
medicine obesity-related health problems. But wouldn't it be absurdly unfair to
tax the crap out of someone who is losing weight on a low carb diet? And do they actually
want to tax healthy fats like olive oil?

Chitosan Weight Loss Experiment Update
My second megadose chitosan weight loss experiment shows that humans
really can achieve the same spectacular weight loss results as the animal chitosan
studies! But what would Sun Tzu (author of "The Art Of War") think about using
this radical weight loss method to win the war against obesity?

Under the guise of protecting the public, the ever-growing global
nanny state sacrifices science, truth and obese people.
Chitosan Versus Xenical
Is chitosan just another scam, or does it really block a significant
amount of fat like Xenical? And if chitosan is a scam, why does Roche have a patent on it?
