Health ~ Does Your New Year’s Resolution Include Losing Weight?

Before you splurge on some “no-need-to-exercise-to-lose-weight” scheme, like popping diet pills or eating candy lollipops, read up on what the Federal Trade Commission has to say on the matter: The FTC recommends against the use of such diet products marketed with exaggerated claims.

Claims of Appetite Suppression Using Hoodia Gordonii

CAVEAT EMPTOR … there is no published scientific evidence that indicates hoodia is an appetite suppressant in humans. Meaning? There is NO CLINICAL RESEARCH or scientific studies verifying all the fantastic claims. If there were verifiable results, why isn’t the formula patented and CLINICALLY PROVEN to be effective? Because hoodia gordonii (popularly promoted as “diet lollipops”) is sold as a dietary supplement, hoodia proponants escape the level of scrutiny the FDA gives prescription drugs and medications sold over the counter!!

These are important things to consider when spending your hard-earned cash on items that are more like deceptive hype, rather than true medicine. Don’t be fooled by the loosely tossed around term “organic”!!!! Be smarter in 2015, folks.

WebMD ~ Hoodia: Lots of Hoopla, Little Science

That notion of diet candy has been the scam since the ’60s, it’s not a revolutionary approach, nor has it ever been scientifically-researched … remember the Ayds diet toffees our mothers used? Diet candies didn’t work then, and they don’t work now. Behavior modification and adopting more sensible eating habits that cut out junk foods (high fructose corn syrup candy is junk, hello?) are the keys to achieving true weight loss.

"Ayds", the "in" diet fad of the '60s. — “Ayds”, the “in” diet fad of the ’60s.

Train At The Halau!

USUI SYSTEM OF NATURAL HEALING (REIKI) Click on the Reiki tab and go to our Enrollment page link for information about our Reiki training program and to sign up. The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
