GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES FOR DIABETES AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY MAY NOT WORK AS EXPECTED

(© 22 October 2015: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

It appears the New Zealand government has released two important health strategies targeting childhood obesity and diabetes.

The University of Otago’s Research Centre has shown appreciation for the strategy, sincerely believing that it is going to work.

I am of the humble opinion that it MAY NOT work, and give them the expected result.

In other words, as it has been happening in all other countries, instead of a decrease in the incidence of obesity and type-2 diabetes, it would only increase to a frightening extent.

I am not a pessimist, nor ‘black-tongued’ that all I say would happen because of some kind of supernatural black-magic-kind of power. Yet, good results may not occur!

I am basing it on scientific facts.

What can that be?

Well, even before I can say anything about it, it would be nice if you can read the news that has come out today in Medical Xpress (dated 21 October 2015): You can go through the following URLhttp://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-10-strategies-diabetes-childhood-obesity.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=ctgr-item&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter

The strategy for children, it appears, is going to be predominantly based around PHYSICAL ACTIVITY + IMPROVING THE FOOD ENVIRONMENT.

“Improving the food environment” is OK. But then, what do they mean by that?

They are going to discourage children from eating the so-called “JUNK FOOD”.

They may not allow the sale of SUGARY DRINKS in the hospital premises (this is to take care of those who are already-sick with type-2 diabetes).

I suppose, they expect the same thing to be implemented in the schools as well, with a view to preventing children from developing obesity and type-2 diabetes in their ‘later’ years.

The Government may have a few more plans as part of their strategy to eradicate the two problems, viz., obesity and diabetes.

Only with reference to this expectation, I have been trying to tell that their strategy may not work positively, after intensive planning and implementation.

You know why? Now, I can describe the reality:

*********

I have, for sure, found after 40 years of study, that it is NOT sugar or sedentary lifestyle that give rise to obesity and type-2 diabetes.

When a person eats too much of food (with or without fat) that does not give him/her the MORBID-obesity, but only the harmless, clumsy, soft-muscled, fleshy-looking big-sized body.

However, if the person eats too much of food that contains TOO MUCH OF CALCIUM - such as seafood, milk, etc., or if he/she takes CALCIUM-ENRICHED DRINKS and EATABLES, he/she would develop a big physique with CALCIFIED tough muscles (that is often mistaken as a good feature), and this would be the MORBID-obesity that would give him/her the diabetes.

The junk-food as such may not be the culprit.

The chocolates, and chocolate-containing beverages, calcium-added beverages and cereals, etc. are the ones that form the real culprits. Unfortunately, people have been made to believe that these are “healthy items” and that children should be given more of these.

As long as this misconceived, erroneous belief-system prevails, no one can prevent the increase in the number of obesity and diabetes, not only in New Zealand, but world over.

SUGAR as such is NOT the culprit.

Excessive accumulation of CALCIUM within the body, essentially because of the following major FOUR groups, children (or adults) develop type-2 diabetes and ALL other obesity-related diseases.

The FOUR groups are: 

1.     Defecating SLIMY (or watery) and SHAPELESS STOOLS. This contributes to 28% of the problem of morbid obesity.

Faeces would become slimy due to the intake of excessive fibre, eating over-ripe fruits, biscuits, chocolates, pastries, chronic constipation, etc.

2.     Erroneous Eating Habit: This accounts for 26%. 

Eating too much of high density food all the time (e.g., meat), rapid eating, gulping / swallong too much of food each mouthful, not chewing the food, late-night dinners, not drinking enough water, drinking too much of juices and soups, AVOIDANCE of SALT and SUGAR, and avoidance of SOUR-tasting fruits.

3.     UNDER-URINATION is the third most-important culprit, contributing to 24% of the problem.

It is the urine that removes from the body any unwanted toxic substances as well as all unwanted EXCESSES. Calcium EXCESS forms the most important unwanted item for the body. 

If a child (or adult) under-urinates (just 3 or 4 times a day), he/she will definitely become OBESE and would get the TYPE-2 DIABETES.

4.     The fourth major culprit, as pointed out earlier, is the CONSUMPTION OF CALCIUM-ENRICHED EATABLES & DRINKS and/or CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS.

5.     There is a FIFTH culprit when it concerns the development of obesity, diabetes, and heart attack in MENOPAUSAL WOMEN. 

That is the monthly accumulation of CALCIUM that does not go out of the body as part of the menstrual fluid, after menopause.

If all the above can be taken care of, for sure, the incidence of obesity and type-2 diabetes, as well as nearly all the obesity-related diseases such as kidney stones, heart blockages, blood vessel thickening, hypothyroidism, hypertension, tumours, lumps, and cancers, etc. can be totally prevented /cured.

**********

Since the New Zealand government may not implement all these I have recommended that are based on real studies, their extent of success would stand questionable.

The Government would, after two or three years, find that their strategies of sugar reduction and physical activity increase had failed.

My evaluation of the situation should be applicable to ALL the countries that have been paying more attention only to the WRONG recommendations.

Well friends,

I very sincerely wish the Government of New Zealand as well as ALL other countries would implement my suggestions, and keep their people – young and old, in a totally healthy state. (After all, the New Zealanders are lovely people, and they should live long, and in full health.)

I am a small timer, without any political influence, but with a burning desire to save mankind from all of the miseries they are suffering for want of proper knowledge.

As it is, the only way for such a good thing to happen is for the World Health Organization (W.H.O) to recognise my findings.

They should, for the benefit of humans, do that without any further wastage of time.

I pray to God that this should happen NOW!

Thanks friends, for reading this article.

With best wishes,

Dr.Palani, Ph.D.

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY OF OBESITY TREATMENTS

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY OF OBESITY TREATMENTS

(© 15 February 2015: Dr. V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

All the existing treatments for correcting overweight and obesity problems appear to be based on misconceived understanding.

I have elaborated on the true causes of obesity in several of my publications, since 1998*.

(* Palaniappan, V.M. 1998. Obesity: Causes, Cure and Prevention, 447pp. ISBN978-967-9988-05-8; Palaniappan, V.M., The True Causes of All Diseases, 190 pp, ISBN 978-967-9988-13-0; Palaniappan,V.M., 2013. All About Obesity In A Nutshell. 220pp. ISBN978-967-9988-18-5).

I have all the time been emphasising, based on my research findings, the following scientific facts:

*  that sedentary lifestyle as such does not seem to make people overweight,

*  that strenuous exercises that induce profuse sweating appear to be making   adults put on more weight in the long run, rather than losing it;

*  that overeating does not seem to give rise to morbid obesity;

*  that there appear to exist FIVE MAJOR GROUPS of culprits that are responsible for contributing to MORBID OBESITY. (Morbid obesity = Disease-giving obesity)

*   that those FIVE GROUPS* of culprits, either jointly, or individually, contribute to only ONE MAJOR RISK FACTOR, and that is EXCESSIVE CALCIUM;

(* Group-1: Defecation of slimy faeces;

    Group-2: Erroneous eating habit;

    Group-3: Under-urination;

    Group-4: Consumption of calcium-enriched foods, and

    Group-5: Male and female menopause.

    For more information, read Palaniappan, 2013: All About Obesity In A Nutshell)

*  that the ACCUMULATION OF SUCH EXCESSIVE CALCIUM ALONE APPEARS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE AND THE ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL RISK FACTOR THAT BRINGS ABOUT OBESITY IN ALL PEOPLE, WORLDWIDE.

*  that, of the above five, OVER-CONSUMPTION of calcium-rich and calcium-enriched eatables (+ calcium supplements) alone has DIRECT effect in increasing the obesity of people.

*   that the remaining FOUR categories, comprising of some 40 factors, exert their influences only INDIRECTLY;

*   that each of these 40 factors contributes different quantities of calcium, all of which collectively make a person morbidly obese.

THE ABOVE BEING THE REALITY OF THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO OVERWEIGHT, OBESITY AND MORBID OBESITY, various people, in different parts of the world, are trying erroneously to tackle the problem simply by REDUCING THE QUANTITY OF FOOD AND BY BURNING OFF THE CALORIES THAT COME FROM THE OVER-CONSUMED FOOD, through strenuous exercises.

Since the very understanding of the basic principles for obesity development is erroneous, success for its prevention could not be achieved all this while.


***************

Dr Christopher Ochner, lead author and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, USA, has now come up with the following statement:

“... the current advice to eat less and exercise more may be no more effective for most individuals with obesity than a recommendation to avoid sharp objects for someone bleeding profusely." 

(MEDICAL XPRESS February 12, 2015: Overweight and Obesity):You can read more on the above through the following URL: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-02-experts-current-obesity-treatments.html?utm_source= nwletter&utm_medium=email&utmconten t= ctgr-item&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter

Their ‘original’ article has been published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The Authors have been arguing that “obesity is a chronic disease with largely biological causes that cannot be cured with just diet and exercise”.

Following is the Journal reference:  http://medicalxpress.com/journals/the-lancet-diabetes-endocrinology/

These researchers appear to have been endorsing a small part of my findings.

They have a lot to go along these lines, for they seem to encourage surgery, along with few other deviated methods for overcoming the problem.


I wish the medical journal publishes my findings so as to eradicate the world’s largest menace almost at once. 

******************
Well friends,

Many of you must have been wondering as why I have not written any new article in our Blog for the past about three months.

In the first place, I wanted MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE to read my previous article, wherein I have appealed, with justification, for an award of a Nobel Prize.

Secondly, I have been travelling around during the past two months:

In January 2015, I went to Gujarat, India, to attend the Pravasi Conference held there, wherein the Honourable Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and the Foreign Affairs Minister Shrimathi Sushma Swaraj, came in close contact with people like me.

I wanted to communicate with them, with a view to seeking their help for the recognition of my findings for the benefit of all Indians, and subsequently people at large, worldwide.

As of today, the process has been going on.

Upon returning to Malaysia, I participated in the International Tamil Research Conference held in University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

I chaired a session there, and also presented a paper.

I spoke on the scientific aspects of the food habits of ancient Tamil population that took care of their health, and compared that with the modern-day practices that have been paving a way for the development of morbid obesity - diabetes mellitus, in particular.

The reception was excellent, and I was happy to see that my findings are getting increasingly recognised.

***********

Another point worthy of mention here has relevance to my publications:


For the past about a year, I have been presenting on every Wednesday, health-care topics in Tamil language in the popular Malaysian TV “ASTRO”, in a serial program called “Vizhuthukal”. The reception from the viewing public appears to be overwhelming.

If you happen to know Tamil language, I am sure, you would enjoy watching it, and would also benefit a great deal, for I have been explaining curative procedures for many of the diseases that affect humans – by “Do It Yourself” kind of approaches.

Thanks to all of you, my dear friends. Bye until next.

With best wishes,

Dr. Palani, Ph.D.
