As you are probably aware, obesity can inflict life-threatening diseases, emotional stress, hardship, and discomfort upon its victims. Unfortunately, most people do not truly understand the full spectrum of its causes and cures. Perhaps no other medical condition has been more misunderstood, maltreated, and misrepresented.

THE FIGHT AGAINST OBESITY
The majority of society believes the only cause of obesity is lack of will power on the part of the overweight person. Even many obese people believe this and cannot understand why they have failed to "take it off and keep it off." They are often left feeling hopeless after trying various methods to lose weight, including weight loss programs, diet pills, acupuncture, jaw-wiring, and other ineffective remedies. Most often they end up regaining any lost weight, plus a few pounds extra.
