Weight loss is an important subject to me as I am a recently retired 72 year old in reasonably good health and I want to keep it that way.
What I know about health is simple but powerful stuff. 1. Abdominal breathing
2. Drink lots of good water
3. eat organically produced food
4. Do my Tai Chi exercises every day
5. Walk at least 2 miles every day
All this must be accomplished with a possitive mind set. I recently read a book by Kevin Trudeau called "The weight Loss Cure" The main thrust of the book is getting and maintaining a healthy hypothalamus gland. this gland controls Appetite and Matabolism. The key issues in over weight and obesity. The book is based on the work of a Dr. Simeon back in the 50's. It promotes the injection of a substance called hCG. This injection along with Body detox and a good organic diet causes a reseting of the Hypothalamus gland. My question is, could this reset of the Hypothalamus gland be accomplished with proper focus of Chi energy? comments

Hi Gary

I see that no-one has replied to this question and i wonder why as it is interesting.. I don't see why using QT on the Hypothalamus and thereby causing it to reset. This question would be good to raise under general topic as this is really the first time I have looked into this section - being very skinny!!!! Thank you for raising this - I am going to be aware of this if I am working on a weight loss issue, but it would be something interesting to research. Sorry that nobody has bothered to comment on your post, but maybe it would be more noticed in another forum as I suggested.

I'm surprised that there's not more activity in this entire weight loss forum since so many of us have weight issues. Let me add here that underweight is as challenging as overweight -- and much less understood by society.

I think focusing on the hypothalmus while doing QT is an excellent idea. The idea is to get as close to the source as possible. Relieving symptoms is good but getting to the source is ideal. In thinking of it for only two seconds, it's a better way for me focus. Rather than focusing on my fat belly or my jelly thighs or my appetite, it might be easier and more positive to focus on a healthy gland. Okay, okay, I could learn to rephrase and refocus on the symptoms as well.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Well, my first post and i've been led to this interesting one.....
Having recently had my two babies i have for the first time found myself with "gland" problems.... Thyroid and Adrenals..... and i have been pondering the same thing!!!
I have overcome 50% of the problems (brought on by sleep deprivation and c-sections) with natural therapies..... being Bodytalk (kinesiology), homeopathics, naturopathics, bowen etc.......
And it's been 12 months and i'm still not there!!
I'm just learning QT from the book, but I'll be giving it a go on resetting my throid and Adrenal glands, and I'll leet you know how i go!

PS... this to me is fascinating as i am also a personal trainer. And the extra weight from the hormonal problems is very stubborn... there could be several other underlying lifestyle causes of the glandular imbalances, which also need to be addressed to avoid relapse.....hmmmmm.........
