Dietary Recommendations
For best results, eat a diet which is rich in nutritional elements, with various vitamin and hormonal supplements such as insulin. Fruit 1 hour before meals or eat half stock an hour before meals. Regular eating times and evacuation of digestive waste. Avoid eating between meals, especially sweets.

Phytotherapeutic Recommendations
-Green Tea Extract (when in conjuncture w/ exercise)

Orthomolecular Treatment
-5-HTP (calms anxiety-related cravings) -Tryptophan (calms anxiety-related cravings) -Catechins (ECGC) -Forskolin (Coleus Forskohlii) -Glucomannan -Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA)

Acupuncture Treatment
During the first few treatments, most likely the "Four Gate" points (LI-4, LV-3) would be used to circulate the energy throughout the body and calm the nervous system. Ren-12, the front collecting point of the stomach energy would be chosen for many treatments, as would ST-36, three inches distal to the eye of the knee that tonifies the energy and helps circulate oxygen and blood of the whole body and of the stomach in particular. Then, based on the diagnosis, the practitioner may add St-40, the master point for mucous, or K-7 or K-10 for edema or water retention.

ST-36, PC-6, Hunger pt. (+ST-44 to reduce sugar ravings) was shown to be most effective

Limit fat to 50grams/day • Acup group lost 72 Kg ; Control lost 36Kg avg. weight loss was 2.6 kg/ control, 4.8kg/ intervention group. • L-Carnitine 1000mg • CLA • Cinnamon/cloves cardamom • Mg • 5htp/ tyrosine/ phenylalanine • Green tea • Hoodia

========================================== Acupuncture Research: 156 obesity cases (bmi>27) treated with acupuncture to lose 5k (11lbs.) fastest = 4 tx, avg= 18tx. Mean weight loss/tx=.23-.26k (.5lbs.) between 3 different studies 40% of total weight loss was in first 6 tx (2 weeks)

274 outpatients – 25 normal weight, 51 overweight, 198 obesity different effects depending on the category. Greatest weight loss in obese patients body fat %, thigh circumference, brachium, abdomen,, shoulder blade BMI and waistline acupuncture worked more effectively in obese patients

Weight gain: 50 emaciated cases noted “remarkable” weight gain after 10-20 treatments + auricular seeds 35 gained more than 4kg (8.8lbs); 15 gainedby 3kg(6.6lbs)

68 individuals w/ BMI less than 81.5 had 89.7 clinical curative effect rate (2kg.[4.4] Gain in 2 months)

Effect on body fat one study showed that the rate of fat loss percentage then the relative weight loss, showing it more effective for fat loss than weight loss

Effect on blood fat Myriad studies proved in addition to weight loss, those with obesity alone or complicating factors such as hyperlipemia or fatty liver could get reduction in blood fat

Effect on plasma free fattty acid (FFA's) in obese people showed elevated unsaturated fatty acids is related to body fat reduction reduction in BMI is related to elevation in high density lipoprotein (HDL, “good cholesterol”) and this related to elevation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

Effect on adipocyte endocrine function of obese people showed acupuncture can reduce the abnormally-elevated resistin and leptin levels of simple obesity cases and elevate its reduced adiponectin level

major points: ST-36, ST-25, SP-6, CV-12, ST-40; ears: endocrine, shenmen

treating obesity by treating the brain- “brain points” and the enteric brain

personalization – cause of obesity, combination of symptoms, regulating the whole body (thyroid, pancreas, colon, etc.

MECHANISMS

Inhibiting hyperorexia (excessive eating_ Psychological reasons clinical observation suggests patients generally got reduced sense of hunger and food intake after a period of treatment. Lab research shows that acupuncture can increase the excitability of the Ventrolmedial hypothalamic region of the brain, elevate tyrosine and dopamine in the VMH tissue subsequently inhibiting appetite electric acupunctre at ST-36 & SP-6 can upregulate arcuate nucleus cocaine-phenamine in converting peptide of diet-induced rats resulting in less appetite and reduced body weight needling ST-36 & ST-44 can inhibit appetite and increase weight loss by boosting hypothalamic arcuate nucleys leptin receptor mRNA and inhibiting expression of neuropeptite YmRNA auricular acupuncture can inhibit neuropeptite YmRNA expression of hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of food deprived rats, reducing their appetite

Acupuncture regulation on central nervous system involves different encephalic regions, nucleus groups, neurons, multiple nerve information substances and related genes to inhibit hyperorexia.

Inhibiting excessive digestive and absorptive function acupuncture significantly reduced salivary diastase, serum pepsinogen, serum amylase and urine D-xylose levels; All of which have been show to be higher in obese individuals with “intestinal heat pattern” suggesting acupuncture can inhibit the excessive gastrointestinal digestive and absorptive function of obese people and subsequently reduce the energy intake of the body

Promoting energy consumption suggestions of increased energy metabolism and energy consumption by raising BMR animal studies indicated acupuncture can increase the thermogenic action of brown adipose tissue (BAT). 1)increasing hypothalamic leptin level and promote gene expression of leptin receptor 2)inhibit neuropeptide Y secretion of the hypothalamus
 * 1) excite the sympathetic nerve center of the hypothalamus
 * 2) excite beta-adrenergic receptor of BAT through sympathetic fiber and catecholamine and promote the uncoupling protein function of BAT

Improving fat distribution

Endocrine function of fat cells

clinical studies suggested acupuncture can correct the endocrine disoreder of fat cells through modulating the leptin, adiponectin and resistin level secreted by fat cells as well as soluble leptin receptor level in the blood. Lab studies on animals showed electric acupuncture can reduce body weight, body fat and improving insulin sensitivity of obese rats, and subsequently restore their reduced adiponectin level, elevated resistin and tumor necrosis factor apha to normal level.
