Weight Reduction Problems

Weight Reduction Problems 
Dear Doctor,
I'm a favourite and admirer of your column in the Sun on Thursday.However, can you please offer answers to these questions of mine:* Does Cold water add to one’s body weight and fatness?* How can one necessary shed weight if it has been a family identity/heritage?* Does beer, soft drink and junk food adds to fatness?* Apart from body exercise, what other ways can one use in reducing fatness?* What drug(s) can one use to combat this, if any? With little or no side effects?
Thank you,
Franklyn Nagogo, Katsina-Ala

Dear Franklyn,
Cold water does not cause weight gain. Just forget the notion—there’s absolutely no physiological or medical connection between taking or bathing with cold water and getting fat. No way.Just forget it.To loose weight follow the pieces of advice: Let's mention seven briefly 1. Exercise 2. Starvation 3.Dieting 4.Obesity Surgery--the most effective of the lot because it takes care of the real reason for obesity which is over-eating by cutting off a good portion of the patient's stomach so that even after the intervention(surgery) they do not go back to their overeating 5.Slimming teas, herbs and other alternative methods 6. Amphetamines which are medicinal agents to suppress appetite (beware--they can cause addiction) 7. A new anti-obesity drug by a leading Pharmaceutical company that's really effective, too. The drug is a prescription drug so I will not be able to give you the name but I’m sure you can ask at a pharmacist’s.You must also understand that there are two major things that control a person’s weight. These are Nature and Nurture. Family inheritance, constitution, body build and one’s God-given endowment which we sum up as Nature takes a whopping 80 per cent of the final results.The things I mention above can help with Nurture—just about 20 per cent. The approach of obesity surgery above is to combine an attack on both Nature (the craving some people have for food which is natural to them) and Nurture (helps reduce food intake –"starvation" of sorts.This surgery is available in Nigeria and can work wonders for you if you require it.However, because surgery is not so attractive an option, alternatives in herbs, teas, vitamins are available that will do a perfect job without starving you. There's a combination of a natural oil, a fruit and a vegetable very accessible here in this country that will cure obesity without any stress.Just call the help-lines. Yes, beer, soft-drinks and junk foods are not good for your weight.
Cheers

Great God Of Love

1.You either believe in God or you say you don't--when you refuse to believe in God, the truth is God Himself refuses to believe in you. 2.When you believe in God, you soon understand that He is very,very great--in fact,awesome 3.The idolater says because God is too awesome,I cannot approach Him --and He is right--I will prefer to go through intermediaries--here,unfortunately,he is very, very --in fact, fatally, wrong 4.The Muslim says, You see God is so great, I am really nothing -- true-- and thus I can only be or relate to Him as a slave (very,very wrong) 5.The human being who is serious and thinks deeply, knows there is a God. Knows he cannot approach Him. Knows He is no better than a slave 6.But the good news,the Gospel of Jesus Christ says,don't approach to God, because,wonder of all wonders, this great God has Himself, by Himself and of Himself already approached man and this approach is that of LOVE. 7.For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him,shall not perish but has everlasting life. 8.The good news says,you dont have to do a thing, God has done it all for you. You dont have to be a slave, God wants you as a Son. 9.You are like the slave girl that the great king woos and marries and then for love, forbids her to do anything at all in the palace; God has done it all for you 10.All you need to do is ask;claim and praise

Obasanjo the Hypocrite

As Time marches on, it becomes clearer just how tragic the presidency of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo really was. In a speech last week, he dismissed Nigerian leaders who were not good enough. Everyone but he. And then he dismissed Nigerians for not finding him to have been exceptional. If Nigerians were yet to find a leader worthy of commendation after 53 years of independence, he declared, “Then we are jinxed and cursed; we should all go to hell.” No, Chief, I humbly disagree. Only dishonest and unpatriotic leaders qualify for perdition. Obasanjo was wielding his weapons in front of a captive crowd at the University of Ibadan. He cited as very bad boys such people as Atiku Abubakar, who served as Vice-President in his administration; Salisu Buhari, a certificate-forging former Speaker of the House of Representatives recently appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan into the Governing Council of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka; and former governors Bola Tinubu, Deprieye Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori and Lucky Igbinedion. “Abacha, my predecessor got $750m. Through our lawyer in Switzerland we recovered $1.25bn and the lawyer still said there is probably still another $1bn to be recovered…” Actually, Abacha was not Obasanjo’s predecessor, except perhaps in duplicity. In between them, in temporal terms, there was one Abdusallam Abubakar. But Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, has no commitment to facts or to History. Not once, during his imperious History lesson last week, did he refer to the bad seeds he sowed or the waters he poisoned or the children he starved. But his are the shark-infested waters in which we now sink, and for as long as he tries to write the history of Nigeria to suit his bloated ego, we must never tire of reminding the world of the true story. Here are just 10 elements: Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, benefitted the most from the elections of 2003 and 2007, which local and international observers complained were rigged. Obasanjo was his own Minister of Petroleum Resources throughout his tenure, without accountability, and it was during that watch that the dirty practices now being unveiled by various probe panes started. In the famous case of Works Minister Tony Anenih, The Hypocrite complained he had budgeted N300 billion for roads during his first term, but he never asked “Mr. Fix-It” about the money. Obasanjo saw no contradiction in using the Petroleum Trust Development Fund as his own ATM. Obasanjo brags about recovering up to $2.5 billion from Abacha alone; he never says anything about how the money disappeared. Obasanjo has not said one word about the injustice of Anambra’s horrendous Okija Shrine or the report of the federal high-level panel that he suppressed. Obasanjo says nothing about the assassinations during his tenure that included the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Bola Ige. Obasanjo says nothing about the Haliburton scandal, for which various reports have indicted him, or about his so-called “anti-corruption” agencies which only targeted his enemies. Obasanjo’s economic reform, NEEDS, died within months of being launched, and he never mentioned it again. Obasanjo spent between $10 and $16 billion under the ruse of an electricity scheme; some of those he paid allegedly did not even clear a patch of land. All of this is despite his arriving in office in 1999 swearing he would be different. At his inauguration, he told Nigerians: “You have been asked many times in the past to make sacrifices and to be patient. I am also going to ask you to make sacrifices, and to exercise patience. The difference will be that in the past sacrifices were made and patience exercised with little or no results. This time, however, the results of your sacrifice and patience will be clear and manifest for all to see…I will give the forthright, purposeful, committed, honest and transparent leadership that the situation demands…” Never has more sordid falsehood been uttered. When the 2003 rigging was completed, he returned to the microphone at his inauguration and said, “I have repeatedly called for moral rectitude, and I will continue to repeat the message. I simply refuse to accept the cynical view that Nigerians prefer chaos to order. I cannot endorse the view that Nigerians are innately corrupt…We all have a stake in Enterprise Nigeria and each of us stands a better chance in getting optimum dividends if, instead of asking "What's in it for me", we ask "what's in it for Nigeria…" But Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, saw nothing wrong with establishing Transcorp and using it to enrich himself. He saw no contradiction in his cabinet approving money-making schemes for him. Later, somebody asked General Victor Malu, a former Chief of Army Staff, to assess Obasanjo’s government. “In few words, it is the worst government that I have seen in this country,” the General replied. “And I am 58 years old. I have never seen a government that is so reckless in everything. It disrespects the wishes of the people, disobeys the rules or the constitution, disobeys court judgements, including the Supreme Court. I don’t think it has happened before.” How insufferable was Obasanjo? In a speech at the 11th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on June 1, 2005, he lamented that “past administrations fostered a culture of corruption and mistrust and thus encouraged undeserved stereotyped information and inaccurate judgments about [Nigerians] as a people and nation.” His government, he swore, would remain committed to creating “a culture of integrity, dignity, confidence and trust.” But that was the very same day that his government approved seven new private universities from 145 applications. One of them: Obasanjo’s Bells University. Obasanjo boisterously invokes such names as James Ibori, Tinubu and Igbinedion, but conveniently forgets that in 2006, he ignored a report he had commissioned and refused to prosecute 15 indicted governors, including those three. The Hypocrite similarly forgets that his domestic aide, Andy Uba, used the presidential jet to launder hundreds of thousands of dollars, for which he was convicted in the United States. Every objective evaluation demonstrates that Obasanjo is responsible for the kleptocracy that runs Nigeria today. What is even worse is that as a parting menace, he committed the greatest treason of all: handcuffing his country to a spineless, incompetent and compromised cabal he knew would asphyxiate it. And he turns around to blame it. Still, The Hypocrite is right on one account: the Nigerian tragedy is also about followership. “If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers,” he said. Nigerians are atrocious followers. We are cowards and sycophants who would rather feed mud to our children than fight for the right to food. At the event, for instance, Vice-Chancellor Isaac Adewole shamelessly swallowed the baloney Obasanjo had just spilled all over Nigeria’s oldest university, and then questioned the nation’s political prospects in 2015. Equally stunning, not one student was reported to have walked out, slamming doors in disgust. Obasanjo is Nigeria’s first 419 leader, and he knows it. But he is counting on the Nigerian people, especially the youth, remaining too distracted or too scared to rise to their feet and say, emphatically and in unison: “NO,” “ENOUGH” and “NONSENSE!” It is time. Our mumu don do!

Why Menstrual and Sexual Pains?

Why Menses and Sexual Pains? Hi Doc, Compliments of the season to you over there. Well I just want to ask you some questions -- First I want 2 know the reason why females use to go through a lot of pains during their menstrual period; and the reason why some girls don't enjoy sex. Uzzy, Aba Dear Uzzy, The primary reason why a woman/girl does not enjoy sex is this--too many times, the man does not know how to do her -- simple!!! Too many men have no idea at all what to do on the bed to pleasure a woman. And why do they blunder so badly? They the men are in too much of a hurry and do not do enough foreplay with the woman before they attempt to enter the woman who, because she has not had adequate fore-play to enable her to be wet enough and have enough vaginal lubrication, the entry of the man--as in the introduction of the penis into a dry vagina will necessarily cause her pain. That is the singular most important and most common reason for what you ask about. Remedy? Very simple. Play sexually for a long enough time with a lady before attempting entry. Let her be the one to ask you to come in. Don't go in by yourself. I detailed all this in my great report titled, "How to Satisfy Her”. If you send to my e mail address-- doctorbibbi@yahoo.co.uk-- I will give details of how to obtain your copy. Other reasons may be because the girl or woman may be someone who has a psychological problem with sex--maybe she was raped as a girl; maybe she is afraid; maybe she has a PID--so many reasons. A doctor would think of all these reasons including PID --Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Endometriosis, Wounds from brutal instrumentation and IUCD-- this is intra-uterine contraceptive device. About menses, some ladies have what we call primary dysmenorrhea-- no reason for their pains but very real and terrible menstrual pains none-the-less and secondary dysmenorrhea-- pains with menses which is due to infection usually. To get proper help, you both will need to discuss this with a doctor first before you can get to the root and solve the problem Cheers

Anti-Hypertensives That Boost Libido

Anti-Hypertensives That Boost Libido Doc, I read your reply to a question on this subject. I have the ailment – hypertension and a very low libido or appetite for sex. What do I do? Right now am on Adalat. Thank you Adalat -Addled, Akure; Ondo State Dear Adalat--Addled, One of the most challenging problems in the care of patients with high blood pressure is patient noncompliance with anti hypertensive therapy -- that is, for various reasons, patients do not take their drugs the way they should. There is a new class of drugs to treat hypertension, however and for this class of drugs; research has shown the highest rate of persistence in the use of drugs. One reason is that men on older high blood pressure medications (diuretics, beta-blockers) had higher rates of non-compliance and more severe erectile dysfunction than men on these newer medications. These drugs are found to be very well tolerated and are not associated with the side-effects known to cause compliance problems with beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers such as impotence, dry cough and peripheral edema. The drugs reverse sexual dysfunction - significantly improving the sex lives of men who suffer from sexual dysfunction-- but not only men. They actually improve sexual function in men and women with hypertension. Men and women being treated with these drugs for mild-to-moderate hypertension appear to show improvements in sexual function and desire and impotent patients on them find increased interest in sex. Hypertensive patients with erectile dysfunction who are taking the drugs find they have increased sexual desire -- and what's more these wonder anti hypertensives that enhance libido also-- that is -- have the added advantages of reducing the chances of diabetes developing -- they had a 23% lower risk of developing diabetes during four or more years of the study of the drugs. Also, these drugs work quite as well as any of the best in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Your interest in the medications is justified-- however they are not OTC's -- over the counter medications-- so we have to see face to face so we can properly help you with them. We have sent you details and will oblige anyone (just call the help lines) of how you can do this and regain -- maybe even increase -- your sexual power while effectively controlling your hypertension -- no matter what your age is!!!

Natural Cure for Sinusitis

Sinusitis Natural Cure Hello Dr, I wish to commend you on the wonderful job you are doing and I pray God to continue to lift you to high levels. Sir, I am presently at my wits end as a result of an ailment that has continued to plague my existence;and I hope you can, in your God given wisdom,advice me on how to handle it. Sir, I have over the years continued to suffer daily nose blockage, a problem I can say has been with me right from my childhood days but which I was only able to identify as a health problem some five years back. Having been consciously aware of this 'menace', I realize my two nostrils blocks every now and then [every 45mins to be precise], and I only get some relief after blowing out the resultant sputum. If it happens however that my place of location does not accord me the chance to rid my nose of the said sputum, I then become so uncomfortable with myself as I am left with no option than to use my mouth for routine respiration. I had gone to the hospital with this complain to the Dr and he had recommended AFB test as well as chest x-ray,both of which came out negative. The Dr did however place me on some antibiotics and nose drops[Otrivin],which I took without any noticeable cure. I have also used other drugs prescribed by a pharmacist without any luck. In my desperate attempt to solve my problem, I talked to all sorts of medical practitioners,and it was in the process that a doctor told me about SINUSITIS, and the need for me to see an expert and more so that I might need to undergo a nasal operation. I am presently confused as undergoing any sort of operation is the last thing on my mind as I believe in my heart that a drug exists somewhere that can cure my problem permanently. Sir,,just what is sinusitis? Is it possible for someone to be born with it? What causes it? Can my case be referred to as one[sinusitis]? and finally can I get a cure for it [if it is] without operation? Thanks in anticipation of your reply. Himba Kiolody, Taraba Dear Himba, I've got good news for you. Your condition, which medical doctors know to be a big problem and to behave the way you described, will disappear with the use of the herb called ginger. Sinusitis is infection of the air-cells of the skull--the bone that houses our brain. It generally is a frustration for doctors. Oto--Rhino--Laryngologists--doctors specializing in diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat(ENT) may atimes help when they operate; but some still fail to get well after operation. There is, indeed a very special antibiotic that gets wonderful results specially in the peculiar situation of Chronic Sinusitis but it is a prescription drug and I cannot treat you by post--that's for face to face consultation. Also, new research is showing that the real reason why sinusitis remains so recalcitrant to treatment may be because the germs causing the problem half of the time are fungi; not bacteria as the use of antibiotics has all this time assumed. So, you might need to find a doctor who understands how to use anti-fungals in these circumstances. But ginger works wonders in these conditions --just send me an e mail and we'd be glad sort you out beautifully. Cheers
