The Problem

With nearly two-thirds of the US population classified as overweight, obesity is not merely a cosmetic problem. The increase in weight is a major factor in the increase of heart disease and diabetes. A common pathway for this disease is metabolic syndrome. Also known as insulin resistance, this cluster of metabolic symptoms is characterized by abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated triglyceride levels, decreased high density lipids (the “good” cholesterol), and elevated blood glucose levels. It is estimated that more than one-quarter of the US population suffers from metabolic syndrome. Among the population over 60 years old this figure jumps to over 40%. Metabolic syndrome is a direct precursor to type-2 diabetes and heart disease. Over-weight, especially abdominal obesity, is a direct cause of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, with the result often being blindness, kidney failure, and limb amputation.

This problem has not improved in the past several years but is rapidly getting more severe as it affects even younger and younger age groups. Now childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome in children is a common occurrence. It is obvious to all of us in the field that a new and dramatic approach is necessary.

Herbal approaches, appetite suppression techniques

In the past, the treatment of over-weight, obesity, and its resultant metabolic syndrome have focused on three basic approaches, all unsuccessful for one reason or another:

1. Increase the metabolism—the use of stimulants has resulted in serious side effects ranging from heart defects (as in the Phen-Fen), to insomnia, and anxiety (methamphetamines), to several deaths (ephedra). This weight-loss was not consistent and returned as soon as the drugs were discontinued.
2. Appetite suppression—the use of supplements such as Hoodia can temporarily give the sensation of fullness but cannot cause a real reduction in weight over a long period of time.
3. Radical dietary shift such as the low-carb diet has been show to be difficult for patients to adhere to for an extended period of time. The extreme lack of carbohydrates reduces a necessary component used by the body to manufacture neurotransmitters. This often caused anxiety and depression. Weight rapidly returned as soon as the diet was discontinued

 

The introduction of Healthy Curb represents a new and innovative approach to the problem of over-weight and obesity as well as the devastating consequences of this condition--metabolic syndrome. Finally a revolutionary new approach that doesn’t just temporarily mask the problem of over-weight but treats it as the disease state it really is.

The all-natural ingredients in Healthy Curb have been repeatedly investigated and shown to be effective in numerous studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. By combining NT Factor® which has been shown to repair damaged cell membranes and phaseoleus vulgaris which has been evaluated and approved by the FDA for weight loss and reducing starch break- down into sugar, Healthy Curb works on four specific aspects of the disease state we often call obesity and over-weight. By combining break-through technology in nutraceutical research Healthy Curb is able to affect over-weight by:

1. Reducing appetite and the tendency to over-eat through the action of controlling blood glucose. The use of appetite suppression is an effective tool in a weight loss program
2. Increase insulin sensitivity of cellular receptors by acting on the kinase signaling mechanism inside the individual cells. This action allows more sugar to be pulled out of the blood and into the cells to be burned as fuel. It is this lack of insulin sensitivity that leads directly to metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes.
3. Repair and rebuild damaged cellular membranes which produce energy in the cell. NT Factor®has been shown in numerous studies to repair cell walls and aid in the production of cellular energy production. This energy production provides fuel for all the organ systems in the body, including muscle, brain, and the digestive system.
4. Prevents the break-down of starch into sugar. The inclusion of Phase2 (a natural kidney bean extract, with extensive research and testing) in the Healthy Curb product effectively blocks the enzyme that converts starch into sugar and thus stops the digestion of starch (This statement has been evaluated and approved by the FDA). Keeping it as a fiber, the starch is eliminated through the intestines instead of being deposited on the abdomen and hips as fat. Weight loss by the blockage of starch calories is a well-researched and effective way to lose weight.

 

Healthy Curb is a unique and innovative new product that is the revolutionary result of nutraceutical research, design, and testing. It is designed to effectively target the epidemic diseases of over- weight and obesity. It is not a magic pill but an extremely useful tool that along with a sensible fresh-food diet and moderate exercise can effectively help lose weight and prevent the progression into type 2 diabetes.

Using all-natural ingredients, Healthy Curb, is a scientific break- through product that acts not only to reduce weight but even more importantly to correct and repair the damaged cellular mechanisms that have allowed the condition of obesity to occur. By treating obesity and over-weight as the diseases they have become, Healthy Curb is able to correct this problem on a deep and permanent level, to restore the most basic building blocks of our living organism, our cellular tissue, to a healthy, balanced, and energized state.
