A New Discovery in Dieting with HCG

    Considering that American's are constantly obsessed with being healthy and having the "perfect body", this particular article would appeal to many, especially women who are trying to lose weight. The new discovery of a diet plan with hormones, also attracted any skeptics, as well as those individuals that are desperately seeking a way to lose weight. Reported by The New York Times,

"The regimen combines daily injections with a near-starvation diet, and patients, mostly women, are often enticed by promises that they can lose about a pound a day without feeling hungry. Perhaps even more seductively, they are frequently told that the hCG will prompt their bodies to carry away and metabolize fat that has been stored where they least want it — in their upper arms, bellies and thighs".

Any person with some common sense would know that a "near-starvation diet" can't be beneficial to their health. Its been known that an average human body that remains completely motionless, for example, sitting on the couch all day watching tv, would need at least 1500 calories just to allow they body to preform its basic functioning. Starvation for a few days only sheds off excess water weight. It will however, destroy the way your metabolism flows throughout the body, and eventually disable the way your digestive system operates. In combination with hormonal injections and a limiting 500 calorie diet, the new diet plan with HCG does not seem very promising.

New treatment for Multiple Sclerosis has been discovered!

     Finally, after awaited decades, a new treatment was found for the rare chronic disease of Multiple Sclerosis (M.S). A swiss drugmaker in the German company, Novartis gained approval for its pill, Gilenya, by the American regulators. The Food and Drug Adminstration supported Gilenya, which has said to treat the common form of the disease, relapsing M.S. Stated in the New York Times, Novartis claims,

Gilenya reduced the frequency of M.S. relapses and helped to slow the advance of some of he physical problems caused by the disease, and the drug had a well-studied safety and tolerability level.

I'm sure this new revelation has brought hope to many people who suffer with this unbarable disease. What's benefical about this very pill, is that the drug will slow down the physcial effects of the disease, which intially could lengthen the lifespan of those who suffer from M.S. This proves to be the first small step of many to find a cure for M.S and finally help those who are in need of it. Although it is a rare condition, primarly found in women rather than men, it causes grave liabilty for families who take care of these patients. The victim of the disease are not the only people that suffer from it. Hopefully in the near future, America will unlease a cure for this small, but life threating disease.
