<p>I spoke with my personal physician the day before I wrote this.&nbsp; He bemoaned that his patients are unable to control their weight.&nbsp; They are not interested in dieting or exercise, claiming they want to eat what they want, they are unable to change their behavior.&nbsp; Here is a solution that does not require them to change their behavior.&nbsp; All a patient needs to do is swallow a handful of supplements once first thing in the morning, and again an hour before dinner.&nbsp; Two months after enough participants have provided their data for analysis, I will have a chart indicating prescriptions for each weight, age, gender, and weight loss goal.&nbsp; Any physician who wants can inquire about the results for patients with their characteristics and direct them how to enroll in the study, offering real hope for weight loss and the tremendous health benefits that accompany weight loss.</p>

<p>Besides gastric bypass surgery, there is nothing that has been found to help obese people control their weight.&nbsp; While many choose to believe that personal counseling is helpful for weight loss, peer-reviewed clinical trials have failed to show a long term benefit. And numerous studies have shown that traditional dieting leads to rebound effects resulting in weight gain.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As our population ages, medical facilities are going to be overcrowded dealing with geriatric patients.&nbsp; Now hospitals and doctors will be able to deal quickly and effectively with overweight patients providing a simple nutraceutical solution for weight loss, so facilities can be used for other challenging medical problems.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Hopefully your hospital has a librarian who can access the 3 scientific articles (1-3) which the pilot study (4) was founded on justifying the expectation that the nutraceuticals in the pilot study will lead to weight loss, without behavior change.&nbsp;</p> <p>1.

<p>There are many opportunities for Partners in this project.&nbsp;</p> <p>MARKETING/ADVERTISING - The first partnership is for publicity and recruiting for the project.&nbsp; I am willing to negotiate agreements with entities or people that can recruit additional participants.&nbsp; There are 200 million people in the US who need to lose weight. I only require 300 to have enough people to begin the trial.&nbsp; But beyond that, I have no doubt there are marketing and advertising people who could recruit many others.&nbsp; Beyond the first 300 participants, for instance, the enrollment fee might be raised to $120, with a $20 comission for recruiting additional participants.</p> <p>MANAGEMENT/DATA ENTRY - If enrollment reaches a thousand, there will be a need to hire additional helpers for data collection, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>PRODUCT SALES - An organization could be chosen to acquire and/or produce and provide the three ingredients required for the study. If this study grows as large as expected, a company could make a great deal just providing all three supplements from a single source, even with a subscription service to refill supplements at scheduled times.</p> <p>PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - Presently, participants will be required to swallow a fistful of tablets, most conveniently 1 gram size.&nbsp; Most people would much prefer a single product that could be eaten.&nbsp; I conceive of a dark chocolate bar similar to an Almond Joy candy bar, which instead of coconut could contain a mixture of all of the nutraceuticals, that could eaten conveniently at once. There would be a different bar/formulation for different ages and genders and weight loss goals and sensitivities, resulting in a large product line. With a market potential of 200 million customers in the US, and billions worldwide, having the proper formulations certified by me will be worth a fortune, and you will be dramatically improving world health.</p>
