Case
Study #1
How
quickly does the diet patch go to work? We surveyed thousands
of our actual customers and found that an incredible 94%
lost weight! Many lost several pounds the first week. By
the third week, over 85% were losing weight steadily.
Case Study #2
Another
major study found weight-loss in the first week averaged
4.7 pounds, 15.7 pounds in the first month, and a whopping
25.1 pounds within the first 2 months!
Case Study #3
Submitted by: Marvin Kaplan, Ph.D.
The
purpose of this research was to determine the average amount
of body weight loss over a sixty day period for both men
and women who would apply one diet patch daily to
their bodies for the duration of the test. The group was
unsupervised and only their beginning weight and ending
weight were recorded. The individual weights were recorded
by the participants every 7-days for the first 30 days,
then every 10-days for the next 30 days.
Selection
Criteria
100 male and female subjects between the ages of 19 - 67
years of age, whose body weight was between 17 - 163 pounds
in access of normal as determined from the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. body weight charts, were admitted to
the study.
The
one basic requirement and true common denominator was that
the participants were over their desired weight. The participants
represented a cross section of society with a representative
number from all occupation groups (laborer, blue collar,
white collar and executive) including homemakers (working
and non-working mothers).

All
participants had attested to trying many and varied diets
and weightloss programs over a period of one or more years.
Approximately 25% expressed skepticism about the effectiveness
of a "patch" to lose weight.
All
admitted that they lacked the motivation and will power
to follow through even with most structured weight loss
programs in the past. They subconsciously forgot to do or
to take what they were supposed to or procrastinated to
the point of rendering their programs obsolete.
It
is significant to note that the motivation to lose weight
was so high that all 100 people participated for the full
60 day test.
The
participants reported that after the first few days of wearing
the patch on the wrist or other highly visible area, the
daily routine was established and they began to wear the
patch on less conspicuous areas.
Effectiveness
At the first postbaseline evaluation (after 7 days of wearing
the patch) the overall mean weight loss for the participants
was 2.69% of the baseline. Each subsequent postbaseline
evaluation reported by the participants produced a constant
decrease in their baseline weight. At the end of 30 days
the mean postbaseline weight loss for the participants was
7.85% body weight. At the conclusion of the 60-day period
the investigator reports a mean weight loss of all participants
of 13.02% of baseline average weight.

Safety
Side effects experienced by only 2 participants consisted
of mild skin irritation when wearing the patch on the inside
of the upper arm. The same subjects did not repeat this
side effect after alternating the placement of the patch.
No other side effects were reported.
Conclusion
The efficacy of the Fucus Vesiculosus, Guarana Extract,
Garcinia Extract and Menthol patch was 100%. All participants
lost weight while wearing the patch for the full 60 days.
Those with the least amount of body weight to lose continued
to wear the patch to maintain their desired body weight.
The most significant weight loss was 71 pounds by one highly
motivated individual who followed the "letter of the
plan", ate properly, consumed eight 8oz. glasses of
water per day, walked daily, and participated in structured
and supervised exercise program. |
