Dr. Pletcher Discusses the Best Solution to False Claims and Ineffective Supplements for Weight Loss; Obtain a U.S. Patent Like HealthE-Meal Did

There has always been that air of uncertainty for individuals searching for something to help them lose those unwanted pounds. A recent marketing report showed over three hundred diet aids actively being marketed today. Fortunately one medical food shows clinically proven results and, a first, a U.S. Patent for weight management.

(PRWEB) July 8, 2006 -- The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar a year market. A recent market analysis revealed over three hundred products being actively advertised and promoted today. The challenge most individuals have is sifting through the hype and misinformation to find those precious few products that may actually be of benefit.

While many states have tried to enact stricter laws to curtail the influx of dangerous or ineffective supplements, the best answer is to use your own judgment and research in making any decisions. Often times a simple search online will quickly reveal information that debunks the lies some marketers use to lure people in.

There is one medical formula that has done something no other has been able to match. The product, HealthE-Meal is a medical food which actually has a U.S. Patent specifically for weight management. This fact is far superior to any alternative means of proving a products efficacy. Why? Because to obtain a U.S. Patent the formula had to pass the scrutiny and strict proof-of-claim which the patent office enforces.

It is for this simple reason none of those hundreds of other products has ever even applied for a patent. With no verifiable studies to support the claims there would be no way to ever be awared a patent.

Perhaps this is the answer to weeding out all the fluff in the supplemental market. As smart consumers, we should demand medical foods and supplements that have the research and clinical studies that really do support their claims. We all know how many dangerous and life-threatening drugs are rubber stamped through by the FDA. Imagine how many of those killer drugs would have never hit the market if they tried to get a U.S. Patent.
