How To Have A Really Bad Date Night

Do You Have Your Obamacare Exemption Yet

Pulling back the curtain on the Obamacare reveals that all
that hugely touted “transparency” was a lie of gargantuan
proportions. There are now so many exemptions (1,084) that
one has to wonder, “Just exactly who is paying for this
atrocity?”

Corporations like GE are exempt, unions are exempt, some
states are exempt and the one thing they all have in common
is that they are Obama supporters. This past week, one of
Obama’s point men in the House, Rep. Anthony (The Whiner)
Weiner, asked for, and is going to receive, a waiver for
New York City.

This is the same guy who tried to mug anyone who said that
the then proposed legisaltion was a piece of unadulterated
crap and actually said, “I wrote the bill…the bill and I
are one.” Now he has figured out that the bill will cost
the city more than it can possibly pay and someone just may
hold him accountable.

But don’t count on it.

This, is in spite of the fact that Obama’s own Medicare
chief actuary now estimates that 20 million people will
lose their current health insurance. Can anybody count how
many times Obama and his allies promised that not one
single American would be forced to give up the coverage
they already had?

Obama also promised that the bill would create thousands of
new jobs. The Congressional Budget Office begs to differ,
saying that there will be a net loss of 800,000 jobs.
800,000! Let’s hope that all of them vote against him in
2012.

Over at Health and Human Services, the appropriately
misnamed HHS, Obama acolyte and Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
has admitted cooking the books by $500 billion dollars and
now says the “reforms are unsustainable.” Does this begin
to remind anyone of something that happened before…like
Enron?

Oh…and by the way…remember the Obama promise that
premiums would not rise? They are rising much faster than
under the old system, even forcing some companies out of
business.

I think everyone should apply for an exemption. We should
flood Washington in a sea of exemption requests. We should
send so much paper to Congressmen, like Anthony (The
Whiner) Weiner, that they have to crawl over, under and all
around it, to get in and out of their offices.

And don’t forget to write on the exemption request, “I
wrote this request for exemption…the exemption request
and I are one.”

Why Use Garlic

Before there were cholesterol lowering drugs, there was
garlic, a 100% natural ingredient that has been helping
your heart and many other parts of your body for thousands
of years. In India, garlic, ginger and turmeric are called
the Big Three and they appear in more Indian dishes than
you can count. Indian healers talked about the curative
properties of garlic three thousand years ago and it will
continue to do wonders long after many synthetic drugs have
been proven to be ineffective.

Garlic is an integral part of my Cholesterol Crushing
Combo, along with fish oil and niacin. I have been taking
this combination for over thirty years and I continue to be
free of any clinical heart disease, which took my own
father, way too early.

There have been 1,200, or more, scientific studies done on
garlic. That’s an enormous amount of research and the
results have been amazing. Dozens of medical benefits have
been linked to garlic.

Studies have shown that garlic “thins the blood” and lowers
cholesterol. It also helps prevent high blood pressure,
heart disease and stroke.

In the lab, garlic appears to block the growth of cancer
cells. Population studies show that people who consume
large amounts of garlic have fewer instances of stomach and
colon cancer than those who don’t.

In another study, in a Boston City Hospital, garlic was
successfully used to kill 14 different strains of bacteria
taken from the noses and throats of children.

Let’s focus on cholesterol.

Garlic lowers the level of total cholesterol and the blood
fats known as triglycerides in the bloodstream. According
to Yu Yan Yeh, Ph.D., a professor of nutrition science at
Penn State University, many of garlic’s protective effects
take place in the liver, where endogenous cholesterol is
produced.

In lab studies, rats given garlic extract produced 87% less
cholesterol and 64% fewer triglycerides. “The liver is a
primary place in the body for fat synthesis and for
production of cholesterol,” says Dr. Yeh. “When fewer of
these substances are made in the liver, there are fewer of
them in the blood.”

There’s a province in Northern China where people routinely
eat four to seven cloves of garlic per day. For every 100
cases of stomach cancer in the neighboring province, where
they don’t eat much garlic, the garlic eaters will have
only eight, or less.

I know not everyone is a fan of garlic, but garlic is
powerful medicine. By taking my formula you don’t have to
worry about garlic breath, or smelling like a restaurant
exhaust fan. Just pop the caps and forget about it–you’re
covered.

One last thing about garlic. You may have heard about cases
of antibiotic resistance in the last few years. This is
where bacteria have shrugged of the effects of drugs.
Garlic has proven to work in some cases where those drugs
have failed. Sometimes the oldest medicine is still the
best medicine:

What Happens To Your Joints

I’m talking about your hips, knees, ankles…the joints in
your body, not the kind that end up in the ashtray. But
before I get to that, a few words on the Commander-in-
Chief’s basketball brackets, which he got a lot of props
for, two weeks ago, before the NCAA March Madness got
underway. The Jeffe seems to fancy himself a very astute
judge of basketball programs and talent and the ever
fawning media like to hold up this myth, along with all the
others, the principal one being that he knows what he’s
doing.

But the truth always comes out, sooner or later. I’m still
waiting for him to produce his birth certificate, but like
Donald Trump, I’m no birther. I just want him to end the
controversy in the simplest way possible, which could be
done the same way that all other Presidents have done it…
by just releasing it (along with all his college
transcripts and writings).

Back to basketball.

Obama’s brackets had a lot of chalk in them, by which I
mean that he went with all the safe choices. He was big on
the predetermined big dogs, who after today are all
finished. He apparently could not see the teams with
tenacity and heart, just as he missed the fact that he was
going to lose the last election in a big way. Let’s hope
his winning streak continues, unabated.

On to your joints…which I know more than a bit about. I
made my living for over 23 years as an orthopaedic surgeon,
fixing primarily hips and knees, which are pretty important
to anyone who values moving around. Some of my repairs and
replacements were done in the case of injury, or accident.
Some were done because of aging.

But many, too many in fact, were done because of fat.

That may come as a big surprise to you, and you may be
saying, “What the hell does he mean?”

Let’s start here. First of all, fat is a stressor. I’ve
talked about this before. If you’re fat, you are more than
likely to have other health problems. That list is pretty
long and would include heart disease, high blood pressure,
stroke, diabetes and many forms of cancer. These diseases
come with additional stressors that multiply your total
stress level.

Today, I’m going to talk about another stressor brought on
by too much lard and that is stress on your joints. Your
body is built to carry a certain amount of weight in a
normal fashion. By that, I mean that all the parts move in
the way that they were designed to. If you weigh what you
are designed for carrying, everything about your daily
movements should be simpatico.

Now, let’s say you are carrying 45 pounds more than your
frame was designed for and you’ve been doing it for a
number of years. I know from experience that you have a
number of “aches.” Your knees hurt, you probably have to
loosen up your hips, you have pain in your lower back, and
your ankles and feet may be giving you problems (other than
smelly sox).

The heavier you are, the worse it gets, until something
gives out. It could be a knee, your back, an ankle, or a
hip. If you’re overweight, these injuries can happen at a
relatively young age.

For instance, just walking, when you’re overweight, at
least triples the stress on your joints. Going up a flight
of stairs increases the joint reaction stresses by a factor
of seven. Running can increase those stresses by a factor
of ten.

Is it any wonder that I was working all the time? And that
if my clinic was bigger, I could have kept other surgeons
very busy, as well?

You should also worry that under Obamacare you could wait
months to get any of these joint injuries repaired. And
that you could be immobile and in pain, while you wait for
a surgeon even half as good as I was (ask any of my
patients: 90 per cent of my business was by word of mouth
referrals).

There are many, many damn good reasons to lose fat. Keeping
yourself upright should be at the top of your list.
Technology has brought us many wonders, as far as surgery
is concerned, but nothing beats having the original parts
you were issued, in superb working order.

Fish oil does wondrous things for the joints, keeping them
“lubed,” “greased,” and moving without impingement. If you
need a little extra, for trouble spots, I also have a
special Joint Health Formula that goes over and above.

You can get one or both here:

By the way…VCU, who nobody gave a snowball’s chance in
Hell of getting out of the first round of the playoffs, was
where I started learning how to put a scalpel, saw, drill,
screwdriver and sewing machine to good use.

Dr. Bill Gets On The Autobahn

Many moons ago, perhaps three hundred or more, I was
traveling in Europe, to attend a medical conference in
Austria and because of bad weather, my plane landed in
Munich, Germany. I had to rent a car and drive quite a way
to a beautiful resort, tucked away in what may be the most
beautiful country in the world, with apologies to all those
who think their spot is tops.

The part of the drive that was on the Autobahn was fun,
because you could then, and still can, put the pedal to the
metal, and pretty much go as fast as you want. Being young
and fearless at the time, I didn’t have any trouble
rambling along at one hundred miles an hour, plus. The
driving challenge came when the Autobahn ended and I had to
drive on Austrian roads that had more curves than Brigitte
Bardot, to use a European example.

There was no such thing as a straightaway up in the
mountains, which readily defined the area I was in. To make
matters worse, I was getting the horn from drivers behind
me, who obviously thought I was a rookie at mountain
driving (which I was). In fact, these roads went from
curvy, to downright scary. After about six hours of this, I
had to take a break.

I was tired, thirsty, very hungry, somewhat lost and just a
tad irritable. I spotted an Inn and I pulled over. I walked
in, and…there was no one there, except a seventy year old
woman. I spoke to her in English, not even knowing how to
say “hello,” in the native language. She answered in German
and I walked closer to her table. I spoke a little, she
spoke a little and somehow, she deduced that I was thirsty
and hungry. She disappeared and was gone, for what seemed
like an eternity. Then, I saw her with a big platter and a
stein.

She plopped the platter down on the table and went to fill
the stein. On the platter was a giant, open-faced sandwich
with bread, butter, ham and cheese. This was no American
ham and cheese sandwich, but I was too hungry to quibble. I
started eating…and then, something close to spiritual
happened. The simple bread, butter, ham and cheese… had
been transformed into the best sandwich I had ever eaten.
The taste sensation just went on and on. I pulverized that
platter in just a few minutes and the old woman appeared
with another. I dusted that off and asked for another. By
this time, she was laughing.

I should tell you that was it, but it wasn’t. Before I was
through, I ate five platters and then I took a little nap,
right there in the chair. When I woke up, there were
several people in the place and a young man behind the bar.
He looked at me and said, “My grandmother says you eat like
an elephant!” We both laughed and I told him about the
plane, the drive, and being very hungry. I asked him how
far I had to go and the good news was that it was only a
few kilometers to the resort. I then tried to pay and he
refused my money. He said his grandmother had specified
that the “elephant’s” meal was on the house and she felt
complimented that I had eaten so much of her simple food.

Sometimes, simple just can’t be beat. I am sure that every
ingredient in that sandwich was made within a three mile
radius, with no modern equipment, of any kind. It wasn’t
hydrogenated, pasteurized, irradiated, or anything else. It
was one hundred per cent real food, without any additives,
fillers, or chemicals. If I had run a test for omega fats
in the people who lived there, the results would have been
fine. They wouldn’t have had an overload of omega-6′s, and
not enough omega-3′s, as most people today have, from
eating way too much processed food.

We pay a price for what we call progress and we pay dearly
when it comes to health, because we don’t eat like Austrian
villagers, who still do things the old fashioned way. But
we can do a few simple things to improve our health, like
blowtorching off fat. Here are some free tips how:

Why Those Pounds Aren’t Coming Off

Today, I thought I would touch upon a few reasons your
elbeeze (pounds) may be sticking on you harder than you
thought possible.

At times, we can be our own worst enemies, when it comes to
weight loss. Many people do this by underestimating the
number of calories they are taking in. A while back, I got
a note from a woman who told me she ate at the salad bar,
at Ruby Tuesdays and no weight was coming off. She was
getting vegetables, fruit and so on and such forth.

I decided to check on the salad bar, at Ruby Tuesday, since
I hadn’t been in one for quite a while. After a couple of
trips to the salad bar, I had it figured out. Ruby Tuesday
does indeed have a few vegetables on the salad bar and some
fresh fruit. But it also has a good number of prepared
salads and I can tell you a couple of things about them,
just by tasting.

They are:

a) Loaded with fat.

b) Loaded with sugar.

c) Loaded with fat and sugar.

If you eat the pasta salad, potato salad, or anything they
have already prepared; you might as well get the bacon
cheeseburger, with fries, and have some apple pie, too. You
are fighting a losing battle, when you add any prepared
food to your plate.

Here’s a little tidbit that should startle you: They deep
fry the croutons on the salad bar, then flavor them with
garlic salt. That’s why people love them. But imagine the
hidden calories that entails and it will tell you why the
flubber isn’t coming off.

Another problem people have is making too many exceptions.
In other words, you convince yourself that you are
behaving, but you’ll use any excuse to break the rules.
Pretty soon, you have more exceptions than good behavior.
Now, I never advocate being a saint, because it doesn’t
work. But if you follow the rules 90% of the time, you
don’t have to worry about slipping in a slice of pizza,
once in a while. Notice I said A slice, not slices. A piece
of pie, not three pieces.

As we get older, our metabolisms slow down and we get more
sedentary. This means that we lose muscle, gain fat, and
our shape changes before our eyes. The longer this goes on,
the worse off you get and you are just inviting ill health
in the front door.

You need to start training, lift some weights, or do
bodyweight exercises. I don’t have a horse in the race,
both get results. Walking is great exercise and it’s free.
I’m not a fan of running, but I’m not going to stop you. I
would recommend you do high intensity running, if you’re
going to run, which is essentially sprinting. You do 8-12
good sprints and in 15-20 minutes, you’re finished.
Remember, it isn’t how long you run, it’s how intense the
run is. Endless slower runs, either outside, or on the
treadmill, will not reduce your weight.

Remember the immortal words of Tonto to the Lone Ranger:
“Make muscle, Kemosabe, not lard.”

It’s true: the more muscle you have, the less of a lardass
you’ll be:

Which Sweeteners Are Okay

I’ve gone and created another controversy, by taking a
stand against sugar and artificial sweeteners. Don’t worry
yourself too much, though. By the time you get to my age,
39 (and a few), controversy is just another day at the
office.

Let me start by reiterating what I’ve said previously.

Sugar is a highly addictive killer, with the average Dick
and Jane consuming 166 pounds per year, and the number is
not leveling out, or going down. You don’t have to look
very far at all to see the devastating effects of sugar.

The diet food industry has a deep, dark secret that they
don’t want anybody to know. Almost all of their products
contain a high percentage of sugar. Let me just give you a
quick example. You go to the gym, you work out, then you
buy an “energy” drink or two, on the way out. You down the
first one in the car, quickly, then the next one in the
next hour. What you’ve done is to effectively negate
whatever good you achieved during your workout.

That’s just a small example, but they also count on you
consuming more sugar in other forms. You may have had a
protein shake before you came to the gym that had sugar in
it. At lunch, you ditched your hamburger bun, but you used
a 1/4 cup of ketchup to eat the burger. America’s favorite
ketchup has a lot of sugar in it, which is why it’s numero
uno.

You will never be successful at weight or fat loss, until
you can kick the sugar habit. By that, I mean that you will
never be a 2 per center (those few who lose weight and keep
it off) and you will remain among the 98 per cent, who keep
growing and growing and growing…until they become fully
fledged members of the Lardassian Club. That reminds me of
an old Groucho Marx line: “I don’t care to belong to a club
that accepts people like me as members.”

Here are the names of sugar in its many forms:

Corn syrup…Demarra sugar…Dextrose…Free Flowing Brown
Sugar…Fructose…Galactose…Glucose…High Fructose Corn
Syrup…Honey…Invert Sugar…Jaggery…Lactose…Malt…
Maltodextrin…Maltose…Maple Syrup…Molasses…Muscavado
Sugar…Panela…Panocha…Piloncillo…Powdered Sugar…
Rice Syrup…Sucrose…Treacle…Turbinado sugar…the list
goes on…

Somewhere in my office, I have a list of 150 names food
companies use to disguise sugar on labels. I’ll have to dig
that out and put it in a report. These are names the FDA
allows them to use, just in case you thought the government
was on your side when it comes to truth in labeling. But
the ones listed above will give you a fine start.

Now…on to artificial sweeteners. They have a number of
names…but basically, they boil down to:

Sucralose
Aspartame
Acesulfame K
Saccharin
Neotame

These can be as detrimental as sugar and in some cases,
maybe more so.

Some, like Aspartame, are excitotoxins (according to Dr.
Russell Blaylock), which cause repeated firing of nerve
cells, until they die from exhaustion. Others simply
perpetuate the psychological craving for sweets.

I realize that’s a lot of bad news.

The good news is that there is one sweetener that can be
used:

Stevia

The FDA tried for over two decades to keep Stevia off the
shelves. But in the last couple of years their argument
fell apart and Stevia, and Stevia products, are appearing
in the marketplace. One terrific one, now readily available
in the corner supermarket is Truvia, which is made from
Stevia, but tastes better.

So that’s my humble opinion, if there could be such a
thing.

Now, you need to integrate this information into your
program. And don’t worry about slipping up. Just write
those names for sugar and its substitutes, on a 3 x 5 card
and carry it around when you shop. It will make a huge
difference in how you look, and what you weigh.
