Overview
The prescription-drug combination of phentermine and fenfluramine known as phen-fen has become the most successful medical weight-loss method ever. However, while phentermine has been used safely for more than thirty years, a growing body of scientific evidence links fenfluramine to dangerous side effects affecting the heart and lungs. Similar alarming results are reported with Redux and Pondimin, related weight-loss prescription aids. Dr. Michael Anchors, has developed a safe alternative. Using phentermine with other medications in place of fenfluramine, he has helped over 600 people since 1995 - and the vast majority have shown they can keep the pounds off with no more than a minor maintenance program. Dr. Anchors clearly spells out his safe, new path to weight loss and better health. He also explains the proper role of exercise and diet in weight-loss programs, tells how to locate doctors experienced in the use of prescription drugs and prepares you to talk knowledgeably with your doctor about the issue.The popular Phen-Fen weight loss plan is presently being used by six million Americans. Phetermine (Phen) is safe, but Fenfluramine (Fen) can cause a rare, fatal lung disease. This book explains the alternative therapy suggested by Dr. Anchors and offers information on health, diet, exercise and low-fat recipes. National TV & radio promo.
