Being Overweight Hinders Your ability to Good Medical Treatment? Really?!

Being Overweight Hinders Your ability to Good Medical Treatment? Really?!

According to an article I read in Health Magazine, our country is and has been becoming very negative towards obesity. Fat Discrimination?! Are you kidding me? Nope, it is true! A recent Yale study suggested that weight bias can start when a woman is as little as 13 pounds over her highest healthy weight. "Our culture has enormous negativity toward overweight people, and doctors aren't immune," says Harvard Medical School professor Jerome Groopman, MD, author of "How Doctors Think." "If doctors have negative feelings toward patients, they're more dismissive, they're less patient, and it can cloud their judgment, making them prone to diagnostic errors." (Health Magazine) So according to the article some of the hardships obese women and men may find when looking for healthcare are:

  • May have a harder time getting health insurance or have to pay higher premiums
  • Are at higher risk of being misdiagnosed or receiving inaccurate dosages of drugs
  • Are less likely to find a fertility doctor who will help you get pregnant
  • Are less likely to have cancer detected early and get effective treatment for it
This is alarming information. As wrong as it may seem, this should stand as an eye opener to those Americans still struggling with their weight. Curious as to what the noise is about? Why weight can really get in the way of your medical health and routine check ups? Here are a few reasons according to an article in Health Magazine for issues to be overlooked simpley because you are overweight:
    1. Asthma
    2. Knee & Ankle problems
    3. Body fat can obscure illnesses like heart disease and different types of cancer
    4. Even a routine pelvic exam can be tricky, especially if you've had children. "The vaginal walls become lax and collapse into the middle, obscuring the cervix," Dr. King says.
Think that’s bad enough? What about all those machines intended to diagnose you? Larger patients can not fit on them: CT, MRI and X-Ray machines. How are you supposed to figure out what is wrong with you?

Now is the time to get on a program to get that weight off and get healthy. Don’t let your life continue down this path. Get help now. Start by taking AloeControl to help you control your portions. Decrease the amount of calories you intake. Use the AloeBoost to give you energy to get out and exercise. Just a walk outside, 25 minutes on the treadmill anything to keep you moving and burning calories. This is your chance to make a change.

4 months till bikini season.. is your body ready for the beach?

Yeah, I've tried all kinds of diet plans, pills, powders and calorie counting diets.. bread, no bread, meat, no meat and gross liquid diets.. They all  have one thing in common.. They didn't work!

I couldn't believe it.. I thought for sure the pounds would come back.. well, its been 2 months and I haven't gained any weight back!! In fact I am lean and feeling awesome.

Review 1 from a skeptic: AloeRest



I am not much of a believer in "juices" or a product that claims to provide something revolutionary in that it does something others can't do. At this stage, how is that even possible? Hasn't it all be developed by now? Point is, I am a skeptic of products like this from the word "go".

Anyway, I often suffer from a bit of insomnia. Whether it is the night before a big race, or I am still wound tight from the day, or maybe I am excited about something the next day or my body is so beat up from a race or heavy week of training, it is not uncommon for me to have a bit of insomnia a few times a month. When it comes to sleep, I am willing to try almost anything, assuming it is natural and legal, to get my rest as that is when one's body recovers. So, I decided to give the USAloe AloeRest product a try and here is what I can report thus far after about a month of using it with no expectations and hoping it would not work and I could prove, yet again, it is just another "juice" claiming to do something great for you, but falls flat. And believe me, in nearly 20 years of racing, I have tried a lot of products.

Well, it has worked... at least, I think it has. When I am not able to sleep or feel wound up and know I will not be able to or I am sore or beat down from training so I can't get comfortable in bed, I take a few shots of the AloeRest. What does it do? It puts me to sleep. Not abrupt and not immediate, but I tend to notice within 30 minutes it is lights out. I have no ill effects the next day, I don't feel groggy or hung over or anything of the like. I just... go to sleep.

Placebo effect or real deal? Frankly, I don't care as I get my sleep and rest and wake up feeling more refreshed then if I just try to conquer the insomnia bout on my own. It is all natural and healthy, so even if it is the placebo effect, I sleep and there is no harm done.

PS - I dig the fact it comes in little travel size bottles so I can take it with me when I travel to a race site and need to sleep in an unknown hotel after a hectic day of travel.

What are you holding on to the fat for? Lose it already!


Are We Fat Generation? No thank you!

Americans are still among the chunkiest folks on the planet, with 68% of adults overweight or obese. What is our problem? Fast food and ridiculously big portions!

Just as many factors contribute to making people fatter -- busy lifestyles; working too many hours and not putting enough time aside to exercise, over-availability of inexpensive, fattening foods; and fewer walkable communities -- how about just laziness - these are all reasons to explain why our weight is now holding steady. If you are in the 20-40 age you probably grew up in the fast food era. This is not a healthy way to continue to raise our kids!

You Know What To Do!


How many articles and magazines have all of us read on what exercises to do and how to eat right?


It all comes down to one way of thinking: Calories in = Calories out. I've been taking AloeControl for about 10 weeks. I've lost weight and kept it off. This product helps my appetite - doesn't suppress it, it helps by letting my body know and understand when I am really full, hence, smaller portions. Wise choices in what you put in your body is the key. You have to love your body and it will love you back. Get the vitamins and minerals your body is begging for. Eat fewer calories and you will lose weight, it's that simple!Each healthy, natural ingredient in AloeControl™ was picked specifically to control your appetite, efficiently burn calories, and provide essential vitamins and minerals that are MISSING in our typical American diet. Try it now, you have nothing to lose but fat!

Is your health worth .75 cents a day?

If you could improve your overall health, lose weight, sleep better or have more energy for only .75 a day, would you?

According to an article in Business Week, Americans spend $40 billion in diet plans in the year 2008. If you can believe NHIS released an article that says, U.S. adults spent $33.9 billion out-of-pocket on visits to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners and purchases of CAM products, classes, and materials. That’s would be all your vitamins, herbs and over the counter minerals. According to Modern Medicine, Americans spent more than $600 million on OTC sleep aids in 2008 (Time, June 1, 2009). Energy? Yeah, Americans spent $744 million on them in one year alone according to KVOA. If you drink Starbucks Coffee, then you know you spend an average of $3.55 a day, that's $106 a month.

See a pattern? Everyone is searching, spending, seeking out the same things: general health improvement, a good night sleep, weight control and energy. These simple things are coveted desires that we Americans are willing to spend way too much money for. Why are we wasting our money on products that only last 30-60-90 days? Why do we put chemicals into our body for temporary solutions? Why hasn’t someone figured out a way to take the Earth’s natural plants and make them work for us.. Naturally?

History of Aloe

For more than 2000 years humanity has taken advantage of this unique Lily-plant that delivers seventy-five nutritional components including 20 minerals, 18 amino-acids and 12 vitamins.

These unique nutritional components of Aloe Vera deliver an anti-oxidant boost, aid in gastro-intestinal functionality, and help to improve the absorption of core vitamins and minerals.

Aloe Vera has been found described in writings in many different cultures and as far back as the Greek, Egyptians, and Roman eras. References have also been found in writings from the Indian and Chinese early cultures. Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries, with its therapeutic advantages and healing properties surviving for over 4000 years. The earliest record of Aloe Vera is on a Sumerian tablet dating from 2100 BC.

Its antiquity was first discovered in 1862 in an Egyptian papyrus dated 1550 BC. The Egyptian queens and well known beauties Nefertiti and Cleopatra used it as part of their regular beauty regimes. It is said that Alexander the Great in 333 BC was persuaded by his mentor Aristotle to capture the Island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean for its profound aloe supplies, which were needed to treat his wounded soldiers. Antique Greek and Roman doctors Dioskorides and Galenos recommended aloe vera to their patients. Egyptians used aloe juice to embalm their dead.

Every USAloe product developed is, and will be, based on the most-used supplement in human history, Aloe Vera.

Testimonial from William

After using the AloeControl™, I no longer crave or want to eat once I feel full. I feel fuller faster and it takes several hours between meals before I feel hungry again. I don’t crave junk food – a problem I have had in the past with every other program I have tried and failed at. – William M., CA

Healing with Aloe

Aloe was used to great effect by Greek and Roman physicians. Researchers have found that both the ancient Chinese and Indian used Aloe Vera.

In the Philippines it is used with milk for kidney infections.

Aloes are referred to in the Bible, and legend suggests that Alexander the Great conquered the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean to secure supplies of Aloes to treat the battle wounds of his soldiers.

Aloe vera, being one of the most healing herbs, contains strong anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It is bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal. Aloe vera promotes cell growth and is strengthening to the whole immune-system. It is neurologically calming, acting also as a powerful detoxifying agent that helps to clean the morbid matter from the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and colon. Aloe vera is very beneficial in case of coughs, ulcers, lesions, hemorrhoids, diabetes, cancer, headaches, arthritis, constipation, indigestion, asthma, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and radiation. Being one of the best herbs to clean out the colon, it soothes all kinds of stomach disorders. Aloe vera promotes menstruation when it is suppressed. It expels pinworms after several doses. It helps reduce the effects of aging and increases the quality of life of the elderly. It is recommended for smokers and ex-smokers as it helps heal the chronic catarrh.

External use: Aloe gel is used for topical treatment of wounds, burns, cuts, sores, skin irritations, skin ulcers, itchy skin, eczema, acne, stings, insect bites, and joint problems. It helps prevent the formation of liver spots in aging skins. If aloe vera is applied regularly and for long enough it will often cause established spots to disappear. Aloe vera is one of the best anti-aging herbs available, helping to rejuvenate aging skin and combat wrinkles.

Testimonial from Shelly

Over the last 5 years I’ve tried many diets but I was never able to get rid of that last 10lbs – it took just 3 weeks by taking AloeControl™ every day before lunch. – Shelly, NV
