When I was fat, I lived life on life’s terms. I ate what life served, usually meatball subs and Oatmeal Cream Pies (in moderation - I rationalized). I drank what life poured, usually liquid blubber masquerading as diet soda. And I exercised when life allowed, usually a few reps of bench press twice a week.

To me, life was like the proverbial pusher, always tempting me with its malignant, short term pleasures. And every time I gave in, I traded one of life’s simple and forgotten long-term treasures - like keeping the same belt size, chasing my kids endlessly in the park, and making love to my wife without gasping for air at the 4-minute mark.

As life’s malignancies caught up to me, I decided to live life on my terms. And my "after" photo shows how my body responded: It shed the fat that was holding me back from living young.

We know fat kills. Some people make excuses not to shed it, while others risk it all to get their own "fat and after" photos. Nothing reflects this better than the hit show, "The Biggest Loser." Unfortunately, very few Biggest Losers remain winners.

Ryan Benson lost 122 lbs to win the first season but regained 32 lbs within five days simply by drinking water.

Contestant Kai Hibbard, 28, spent the night before her final weigh-in crawling in and out of a sauna for six hours, consuming only sugar-free Jell-O for a week and sucking down natural diuretics.

Clearly, these are signs that The Biggest Losers aren’t winners. Even the most successful biggest loser reflects this. As the historic Biggest Loser, EriK Chopin lost over 200lbs. Under all that junk was a shining, handsome man, with decades of living young added to his lifespan. But it didn’t last either. He quickly rebounded and gained back over 100lbs. Life’s malignant pleasures dealt him type II diabetes, which eliminates an estimated 11 to 20 years of life.

Today, Erik travels the country encouraging early diabetic testing. On the verge of giving pharmaceutical fellatio, his fat loss message is pushed aside for a more marketable, warm and fuzzy message of, "We all need a stronger relationship with our pharmacists." (I had to bite my black leather wristband when I heard that.)

Do I still need to say it? No. But I want to…

The Biggest Loser has inherent flaws, at best.

At worst, it’s nothing more than a profitable way to exploit obese people by using the antiquated fat loss tricks of a weak high school wrestling team. In the long run, contestants are better off following the gluttonous antics of Adam Richman in "Man vs. Food."

2 Reasons The Biggest Losers Can’t Stay Winners

They Don’t Count the "Right" Calories

Like drug reps who moonlight as doctors, Biggest Loser personal trainers moonlight as nutritionists. They’re often heard parroting "calories in calories out" and insist that all candidates simply count calories. It’s wrong - mostly.

When you don’t know how to pick the right calories, counting calories is as senseless as drinking wine to suck down the over-hyped resveratrol to extend longevity, or eating Oatmeal Cream Pies "in moderation."

Not all calories are created equal. Some get stored as fat regardless of physical activity and caloric intake. These include the low fat foods pushed on "biggest losers" like "fat free Jell-O" and lots more - even fruit. The more of these low/wrong calorie foods they eat, the more their brain screams more, more, more and their brain yells eat, eat, eat. Count these calories, and your weight plummets, but comes back with a vengeance once you can no longer ignore the physiological voices (the same ones that have Oprah convinced that she has a "food addiction.")

Biggest Losers are slaves to the exercise gods

Face it, the popularity in The Biggest Loser rests in watching obese people exercise themselves to near death. It’s like a UFC cage fight, someone could die at any moment. It’s a lot of fun to watch, but you’d never want to do it yourself.

If exercise worked, Erik "The Rebounder" Chopin would benefit every day from carrying the excess 100lbs back and forth from his diabetes tour bus into the grocery store. It’s not working.

Exercise is only one part of a fat loss plan. If you treat it as the God of fat loss, you lose. That’s because it’s most efficient at building muscle, not burning fat.

To shed the weight with exercise, you need to combine it with eating the "right calories." And when you do, the muscles from exercise become a fat burning furnace and the junk in-the-trunk dissipates - so does the worry of losing 11 to 20 years of lifespan from diabetes.

The People’s Chemist (TPC):  Thanks for noticing.  I try my best to keep a lean physique, it helps if I get my chest waxed too - Makes me look more buff. 

That’s creepy though, were you scrolling through my FaceBook photos?  I thought you’d be too busy to surf the Internet?

Obama:  No, most of my work gets taken care of by Big Pharma and bankers.  They run the country.  I just appear for photos and interviews.  It’s a great façade.  And it allows me a lot of time for Google and FaceBook.  Tell me, what do you think of the government’s proposed health care plan? 

TPC: Dumb question.  It’s as oxymoronic as “clean coal.”  Even Paris Hilton is smart enough to realize it. 

Not a single part of the plan outlines preventive health measures, and it’s totally void of proven, natural cures that should serve as the first line of defense against poor health.
 
The health care plan is nothing more than a cheap ploy to get Americans hooked on more drugs – to trade health for wealth.  Duh, didn’t you read my book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures? 

Obama:  No.  I was too busy calling Fox News complaining about their anti-democratic slant.

TPC:  Poor excuse.  You have 200,000 people dying every year from prescription drugs – used as prescribed.  Something has to be done.  This is twice as many people who died in the Vietnam War, and it happens every year. 

Benefit doesn’t outweigh this atrocity because the top killers like diabetic meds, psychiatric drugs, blood thinners, cholesterol lowering drugs and pain killers have never proven to increase lifespan.

Considering that my book outlines 10 lifesaving supplements for under $10, you should at the very least keep it near your toilet.  Plus, you’ve been giving pharmaceutical fellatio for way too long.  It will allow you to come up for some air. 

Obama:  I decided not to vaccinate my daughters.  Is Swine Flu a real threat?

TPC: Only if you are the greedy swine pushing it.  I don’t think American’s are going to fall for the vaccine scare, which means that the pharmaceutical pigs urging us to get the jab are gonna have a lot of unsold inventory.

Few people realize that immune function is a direct result of proper nutrient intake. 

If we are not getting the right nutrients or ingesting items that deplete the body of them, our immunity fails.  In this sense, immunity is a choice.  You choose whether or not you’ll get the right nutrients to ward off “biological nasties” like H1N1 or any other variation of influenza…It’s all in the book.

Obama:  I recently heard you on the radio telling people that high cholesterol won’t kill them.  Can people really stop taking their cholesterol drugs and actually get healthier? 

Yes, despite all the hype, not a single cholesterol lowering drug has been proven to increase lifespan.  Today’s cholesterol lowering guidelines are nothing more than an irresponsible way of converting healthy people into patients, yet again.  Studies involving large populations prove that as we age, cholesterol increases in order to protect us not kill us.  Those with average cholesterol levels of 300 have been shown to survive longer than with those with total cholesterol levels of 170 mg/dL.  This explains why cholesterol lowering drugs don’t help us live longer.

Obesity and diabetes are at epidemic levels in America.  What do you propose as a defense for them?

Habits create and eradicate type II diabetes.  If you treat your habits, you can treat diabetes.  Whether it is the right exercise, eating frequency, diet or supplement use, anyone can learn to live thin, slim and free from diabetes.  But, there is so much misinformation; people have no idea how to properly apply these habits to their lifestyle.  OVER-THE-COUNTER NATURAL CURES clears the confusion.  It helps people eat to satisfy, but not disrupt metabolism.  It’s not so much about abstaining as it is just learning what ingredients to use and not to use. 

Obama: Thanks so much for the opportunity to interview you.  Is there anything I can do to return the favor?

TPC: Yea, get “One Nut” Lance Armstrong back on his bike and off the “cancer cure campaign.”  It’s nothing more than a scheme to get people to take more chemo drugs – ineffective and expensive ones. 

He might be a “one-nut” wonder (remember, one got removed due to cancer?) on the bike, but off it, he’s just another celebrity hell-bent on giving pharmaceutical fellatio. 

At first, I thought it was his yellow jersey that stunk of sulfur, but now I know it’s actually him.  He’s been rubbing up against Big Pharma so much that their odiferous chemical waste has rubbed off.  I have to look away and cover my face every time I see his ugly mug – on the tube or even in a magazine – to shield myself from the smell.

Help me out – along with the rest of the country – and get his focus back on lycra, leg shaving and tight shorts and off America’s health.

This is the common justification of vaccine proponents around the world. It’s rife with emotion, void of logic.

Vaccination isn’t immunization, and vice versa. In my book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, I outline the historic failure of some of the most popular vaccinations. You don’t hear about them in the pharmaceutically compliant news, but they are well documented in the medical journals.

The H1NI flu vaccine is no different. And thanks to the Internet, you can find dozens of arguments against it. Most might put you to sleep, or worse, confuse the hell out of you with science jargon. But one thing is for sure, the H1N1 flu shot is risky as hell. And its’ use will probably be confined solely to those people who are so dizzy with pharmaceutical spin, they miss the most obvious reason not to vaccinate their child: ethyl mercury.

Ethyl mercury is the by-product of thimerosal, an additive to the flu vaccine. As a source of mercury, it presents a real threat to the nervous system – no matter who is paid to run a study to show otherwise. Check out these quick numbers. You won’t believe it.

The World Health Organization (WHO) insists that the upper limit for mercury exposure is 0.47ug/kg/day. At this exposure, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that humans experience negative central nervous system effects such as tremors, mood changes, shyness and slowed sensory and nerve function. By the liberal WHO standards, this equates to a safe upper limit of 2.13ug for a 10lb baby, 10ug for a 50lb child. Here is the scary part.

Recently, The New York Times announced that the, “H1N1 vaccine distributed in multi-dose vials will contain about 25ug (micrograms) of ethyl mercury per dose.” That equates to 11 times the safe upper limit for our vulnerable 10lb baby, 2.5 times the safe upper limit for a young child!

Pregnant Moms being targeted for the vaccine should pay close attention too. Consider the risk highlighted by the “Material Safety Data Sheet” for thimerosal:

Reproduction: Thimerosal - Decreased offspring survival. Mercury - Changes in sperm production, decreased offspring survival, and offspring nervous system effects including mild to severe mental retardation and motor coordination impairment. - Eli Lilly 1999 Material Safety Data Sheet

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Warns Public of Thimerosal Cover-Up!

No matter how you look at it, those who vaccinate gamble the future lives of their children. Gambling isn’t necessary. Their well-being rests in adhering to “nutrient logic.”

Nutrient logic has been saving lives throughout history. For thousands of years, diseases like scurvy, pellagra, beriberi, and rickets ravaged millions of people. In the early 1900s, Nobel Prize–winning scientists—dudes who believed in nutrient logic and had a flare for the scientific method—discovered that these pandemic killers were caused by rampant nutrient deficiencies, not infectious agents.

The simple act of filling the nutritional void with select nutrients (not drugs) cured millions of people—inexpensively! Not a single prescription was required. Scurvy was eradicated with vitamin C (from citrus fruits), pellagra with niacin (from nutritional yeast), beriberi with thiamine (from rice bran), rickets with vitamin D (from sunshine), and more recently, cholera with salt, sugar, and water, and congestive heart failure caused by Keshan disease with selenium (from liver).

Until They Witnessed The Vast Health Results…

Dan reversed type II diabetes in 36 days!

Cynthia lost 8 lbs every month for 4 months straight - 48 lbs total!

Chuck stopped a "cancerous spot" on his skin with an $8 per month investment.

At 67 years old, Robert toured Italy on his bike, with his lovely wife, for an entire month, after getting off his blood pressure meds and 5 other prescription drugs!

The list goes on. And all of these people share one thing; they read my book, Over-The-Counter-Natural Cures and took charge of their health with 10 lifesaving supplements for under $10! And their doctors witnessed the dramatic health benefits of doing so!

At first, doctors ridiculed my book idea. They told me, "I could never find pure supplements for under $10." They insisted that as we age, "Most people require drugs to maintain health." But, when they saw the results first hand, they retracted their statements.

The same can be said of Dan, Cynthia, Chuck and Robert when they confronted their doctors about using my book to procure health. Each protested. But as their doctors witnessed the results over the weeks, they could do nothing but accept the wishes of their patients and watch as they freed themselves from the grips of declining health - naturally and inexpensively! My $1000 Challenge to You!

I challenge you to do the same!

Buy a copy of Over-The-Counter Natural Cures for you and your doctor (allopathic, osteopathic, homeopathic, naturopathic or chiropractic). Ask him if, "This book is right for you."

Then, post your collaborative (or non-collaborative) story/essay LIVE on my site (www.otcnaturalcures.com) describing the "Best Doc" or "Worst Doc" relationship that transpired, and how you benefited from what you learned in Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. The essay winners for each will be given $1000k cash!

I will announce the winners - after one year of release. But during this time, I will choose finalists every 4 months and post live here!

I’m doing this to help change the way doctors prescribe drugs and to ultimately save patients from the scourge of death by medicine. The contest is aimed to encourage a working or maybe a non-working, natural health relationship between Doc and patients - hence "Good Doc Bad Doc." This will help others learn about America’s best physicians, but also warn us of the worst!

In total, my book and this contest will:

- HELP PEOPLE TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH

- FIND DOC’s WHO CAN SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR NATURAL HEALTH CHOICES

- FIND DOC’s WHO CAN WORK WITH PATIENTS RATHER THAN DICTATE TO THEM

- FIND DOC’s who are open to learning about "nutrient logic" as highlighted in Over-The-Counter Natural Cures as the first line of defense against declining health - obesity, blood pressure, heart disease diabetes, cancer and more.

All four of these elements of longevity are desperately missing in health care and are responsible for the 200,000 deaths that occur every year as a direct result of using "FDA Approved Drugs."

With my Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, and the "nutrient logic" it highlights, it’s easier now than ever for people to take charge of their health and work directly with their doctors instead of blindly following doctor’s orders.
