re:Dr. Charles B. Hensley->SECRET TO WEIGHT LOSS MAY BE AT THE TIP OF YOUR NOSE
While obesity is reaching epidemic proprotion in the United States, with over 30 percent of the population seriously over- weight, for many people looking to lose weight the answer may be right under their noses. According to a group of researchers, certain smells can help people lose weight. "Simply inhaling certain specific scents before eating resulted in an average weight loss of 19 pounds in only three month," in a recent study which was published in the Journal for Advancement in Medicine, explains Dr. Charles B. Hensley, one of the researchers and the chairman of the non-profit research lab called BioTem Cytotechnologies. The theory is the specially formulated aromas cause the body to believe it has already eaten. This increases a person's feeling of fullness so he or she consumes less food. Now, a Harvard-trained doctor, Joan Katz, MD, and others reasearch scientists are calling for participants to become involved in a study to see how easy it can be to comply with this theory. Participants need not count calories, go on special diets or changed their current levels of exercise. The researchers are seeking people who are at least ten pounds overweight, have a good sense of smell and are willing to remain on the program and fill out a one-page form each month for one year. The study will supply the pen-line aromatherapy product each month for no product cost. (Normally, for the 12-month term, that cost would be $588). Selected participants can consult a study doctor at any time. To see if you meet the qualifications to be selected for this study, you can call, toll-free, 1-877-637-8839.
