Angelo Tremblay, a professor of kinesiology at Laval University in the Canadian

province of Quebec. told an international conference on obesity that there is

evidence of a strong link between toxins and obesity, both as a possible cause

and as a problem for obese people after they lose weight.

Speaking at the annual scientific meeting of NAASO, The Obesity Society, he said

there is evidence that organochlorines reduce an obese person's ability to use

energy efficiently, and so hamper further weight loss and also make it harder to

keep weight off.

A high concentration of organochlorines " will slow down metabolism, and reduce

the concentration of hormones that increase metabolism, " he said.

Organochlorines like the pesticide DDT, banned for decades in most western

countries are distributed throughout the globe by air and water, and take

decades to break down. Despite being banned for decades in western countries,

they are present in every human on the planet in " biologically significant "

amounts.

Also, Tremblay said not enough research has been done on how very concentrated

toxins affect obese people who have lost weight. " If you ask me if it is a

catastrophe for obese individuals, I would not be able to answer. "

When obese people lose weight, they retain the toxins that have accumulated in

fat tissue, and the increased concentration, said Tremblay, is " in a range

typical in individuals displaying cancer. "

But whether the risk of the increased toxins is so great that obese people

should not lose weight is not known, he said. " I try not to talk about that. ...

The question marks are so strong you prefer not to make everybody afraid where

the conclusions are weak or uncertain.

" This is a potential problem, " he said. " It should be an argument to reinforce

the element of prevention (of gaining weight). "

The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body

movement, especially in humans.

The application of the principles of kinesiology to the

evaluation and treatment of muscular imbalance or derangement.

http://www.icak.com/about/whatis.shtml

Applied

Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and

mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other

standard methods of diagnosis.

The

doctor using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to

determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. The doctor

works out the treatment that will best balance the patient's muscles.

Treatments

may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various

myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture

skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills,

evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

AK uses the Triad of Health. That is Chemical,

Mental and Structural factors that balance the major health categories.

The

Triad of Health is interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the

underlying cause of a problem. A health problem on one side of the

triad can affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance

can cause mental symptoms. AK enables the doctor to evaluate the

triad's balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides.

AK

skills are developed and approved by the International College of

Applied Kinesiology Board of Standards. These skills are refined from

many disciplines including Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine,

Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy, and

Naturopathy etc. Members of these professions share knowledge through

the publications and conferences of the International College of

Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).

A Doctor using AK during an examination will add

a new dimension to standard diagnostics.

Summary:

AK:

Is a diagnostic system using manual

muscle testing to augment normal examination procedures.

Was founded and developed by

Chiropractor Dr. J. Goodheart, Jr.

Skills have been further developed by

members of the ICAK

Is a postgraduate specialty.

Physiologic changes in humans subjected to severe, selective calorie restriction

for two years in biosphere 2: health, aging, and toxicological perspectives.

Biosphere 2 is a closed ecological space of 7-million cubic feet near Tucson,

AZ, containing 7 biomes: rain forest, Savannah, ocean, marsh, desert,

agricultural station, and habitat for humans and domestic animals. Sealed

inside, 4 men and 4 women maintained themselves and the various systems for 2

years. All organic material, all water, and nearly all air was recycled, and

virtually all food was grown inside. On the low calorie but nutrient-dense diet

available, the men sustained 18% and the women 10% weight loss, mostly within

the first 6 to 9 months. The nature of the diet duplicated rodent diets that had

been shown to enhance health, lower disease incidence, and retard aging. Using

blood specimens frozen at different points during and after the 2 years,

determinations were made of a number of biochemical parameters judged to be

pertinent based on past studies of rodents and monkeys on similar diets. These

included blood lipids, glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, renin, and

others. The results clearly suggest that humans react to such a nutritional

regime similarly to other vertebrates. In addition to these studies, and because

this was a tightly closed, isolated environment, the levels of insecticides or

pollutants or their derivatives were determined in the sera of 2 crew members.

It was found that levels of the lipophilic toxicant DDE and the " total PCB " load

increased with the loss of body fat during the first 12-18 months inside

Biosphere 2, then decreased.

ANGELO TREMBLAY, Ph.D.-is Professor, Division of Kinesiology, Department of

Social and Preventive Medicine at Laval University in Quebec, Canada. Dr.

Tremblay was a visiting scientist at the Energy and Protein Nutrition Laboratory

at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1989; and at the Department of

Psychology, University of Leeds in the United Kingdom in 1992. His current

research projects include: investigating the effects of exercise and exercise

training on components of energy expenditure and energy balance; examining the

role of heredity and of its interaction with environmental factors on energy

expenditure, macronutrient oxidation, and related changes in body composition

and fat distribution; investigating the role of adipose tissue metabolism on

human energy balance; and studying the impact of early undernutrition on the

predisposition to the insulin resistance syndrome and obesity. Dr. Tremblay also

runs a nutrition clinic for the public with three other associates.
