Dear fellow colleague,

Doctor’s Weight Loss Center has enjoyed near a decade of continuing success in its core business – medical weight loss- with an ever expanding population of patients.  Our patients come from all over the country.  We have treated almost 8000 patients.
Recently we have acquired a spacious office building which now houses our medical weight and a massage parlor.  We are interested in recruiting businesses that cater to women in the field of wellness, beauty or fashion.  The business relationship can be flexible (i.e., we can hire you as employees, or you can join us as business partners or you can simply rent our office spaces).  The idea is simple: we have a lot of patients (mostly women) passing through our offices and they ask for these services.
If you are interested or if you know someone who might be interested in this opportunity, please email me directly at DrCheng@DrWLC.com.  Thank you.

High strength vitamin/mineral tablets

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Dr. Cheng

In our Holistic hCG Diet, we include a high potency vitamin/mineral tablet (T-Gram or M-Vite).  T-Gram/M-Vite is very important when you are on our hCG diet.  It is to balance the electrolytes and vitamins.  Without T-Gram/M-Vite, it is very likely that you may develop side effects such as leg cramps and other discomfort.  Take T-Gram or M-Vite with food at supper time.  Do not take it in the morning with an empty stomach, as it will very likely cause stomach upset.

Our mineral/vitamin tablets contain 100% or more of the daily recommended doses of vitamins and minerals, than the ones sold over the counter.  One tablet a day of T-Gram/M-Vite is sufficient to maintain your electrolyte and vitamin balance under normal circumstances.  But if you sweat more than usual (such as gardening or exercising in the summer for hours), you will need to supplement yourself with extra electrolytes.  You may do so by adding lemon juice into your water bottle (do not add sugar), or eat some salted pickles.

Janet struggled for many years and finally went on hCG and achieved her ideal weight.

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Dr. Cheng

Janet B, over 65 years of age, has been a patient of mine for many years.  Her weight fluctuated ~200 lbs for all those years.  I had been telling her about our great success with the holistic hCG diet.  But she remained skeptical.  Finally after retiring from her job, she decided to give it a try.  Voila, in just a few months, she achieved what she had been trying for many years with no avail: she lost the 50 lbs that she always wanted to lose.  For the last 8 months or so, she has been able to maintain at that level without regaining the weight.

Susan B lost over 90 lbs and is maintaining her weight well.

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Dr. Cheng

Susan B is 5.0 ft tall and weighed over 180 lbs when she started in Dec. ’09.  In Sept. ’10, her weight dropped down to 100 lbs.  She has been able to maintain at that since then.  This is what Susan wrote: “Dr. Cheng has quite literally given me my life back!  I have always known what I was supposed to eat or not eat to loose weight, my problem has always been my appetite.  Dr. Cheng’s diet allowed me control over my cravings, portion sizes and overall caloric intake, thus I was successfully able to loose weight and gain my life back!  Additionally, I feel that being able to chart my weight loss, so that I could actually see it, really helped by making me accountable.

Today, I am proud to say that so far I have been able to maintain my weight by eating 4 small healthy meals a day, regular exercise (bike riding or walking at least 4 times a week)  and Dr. Cheng’s continued support!  To be honest  I really don’t deprive myself of anything anymore, I just make sure to do it in smaller portions and less frequently!  Dr. Cheng helped me make a healthy life style change that I intend to maintain forever!”

Obesity -> Esophageal Diseases

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Dr. Cheng

Obesity -> esophageal reflux (GERD) -> Barret’s esophagus -> esophageal cancer (Influence of Obesity on the Risk for Esophageal Disorders).

Key points of the above quoted article in Medscape.org (a continuing medical education website for physicians).

  • Obesity, particularly with a predominantly abdominal distribution of fat, is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, Barrett esophagus and GERD
  • Increase in BMI correlates clearly and proportionally with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma and GERD; however, corresponding data regarding Barrett esophagus are less clear
  • Body fat distribution, especially the presence of abdominal adiposity, is a factor in the link between obesity and esophageal disorders
  • Molecular mechanisms involving leptin, adiponectin and estrogen have been proposed to explain the association between obesity and these esophageal conditions

Vitamin B12

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Dr. Cheng

Vitamin B12 injection may give you extra energy.  B12 plays an important role in your metabolism.  Lack of B12 will, therefore, cause a metabolic slowdown.  Most people who are not picky on their food should have plenty of B12 in diet.  Those who are low in B12 are probably because they can’t absorb B12 from the food.  As a result, B12 capsules or tablets don’t really help.  You need B12 injected to bypass the absorption problem.

  • Can you test for B12 deficiency?  Yes.  But unnecessary.  If you suspect B12 deficiency, give yourself a B12 shot.  If you feel an energy boost, then very likely you need extra B12.  B12 is very inexpensive and usually has no side effects.
  • How to use B12? The recommended dose is once a week self administered injection.
