You shouldn’t care what people say or think. If getting the surgery is what you really want the do it! After all, it is YOUR body.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Feet are not the most attractive thing in the world. Why are you not under a doctor’s care and if so, why don’t you have an answer to this problem. If I had a lump anywhere I would want to get rid of it. I don’t think you would be down as long as you think and once over its over.

Chloe Adisson answers:

No. Only medically necessary surgeries are covered by Tricare.

Electives are purely on a space availalable basis and have a butt ton of regulations and rules as to what is covered and what is not. Currently few eleictrives are covered as the primary reason for offerthem( keeping surgeons skills up to date) is not a factor as they are getting plenty of practice on injured servicemembers.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Hey there, I actually had jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery in medical terms) between my junior and senior year of college. I had TMJ problems, migraines, and an open bite, therefore surgery was necessary.

I wore braces for approximately 6 months before surgery and 4 months after surgery. Of course, at 20 years old this wasn’t ideal, but I’m thankful I had the operation.

Each person is different and each surgery is different, so during your consultation the doctor can provide you with more specifics.

I had both upper and lower jaws broken and was essentially “wired” down for 6-8 weeks. My oral surgeon used very tight rubberbands instead of actually wiring me completely down.

It wasn’t the most pleasant of situations: not eating solid foods, swelling, weakness, losing excessive weight, pain, etc.

I was under my parents insurance and it paid for it completely except for $1000.

Good luck–it’s not as bad as you think!

Also, I look very different now from before my surgery, so be aware of that “side effect”.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Sesame oil can be used for both, for cooking and as carrier oil.
Different cooking oils are processed to give them a longer shelf life but not sesame oil because of its content of antioxidant substances ( sesamol and sesamolinol formed from sesamolin ).
“It is also highly nutritious, rich in vitamins A, B and E as well as the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, silicic acid and phosphorus. It contains linoleic acid and alpha linoleic acid as well as lecithin, and this may go some way to explaining its benefit to the brain and nervous system. Like olive oil, sesame oil is considered good for lowering harmful cholesterol levels.”
“Sesame oil is immensely popular in India where its use in oil massage (abhyanga) is part of everyday life and an important aspect of Ayurveda. It is the favorite oil for massage as its chemical structure gives it a unique ability to penetrate the skin easily, nourishing and detoxifying even the deepest tissue layers. In fact it is said to benefit all the seven tissues (Dhatus). It is the best oil for balancing Vata but can also be used sparingly for Pitta and Kapha.”
But sesame oil may overpower a blend if not diluted with another carrier oil.

Chloe Adisson answers:

My favorites are lavender, lavender-vanilla, eucalyptus, jasmine-vanilla, peppermint-eucalyptus-lavender, wintergreen, rose-geranium, and grapefruit-bergamot.

Arnica oil is a great muscle pain relieving base oil to add aromatherapy to.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Because you say you would like to lose a few inches you should go with the wrap plus it makes your skin feel really soft and gives it a nice glow.
You don’t have to do it every week you can do it every 2 weeks even every 3 weeks is fine.
Its also relaxing.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Never, EVER use any essential oils (EO) on pregnant women, not even the so-called “safe” ones like lavender etc. And warn your client against their use at home and until the child is 6 or 7 years old.

Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

The long-term effects of EO’s has not yet been fully researched. EO’s are extremely powerful and act on the hormone system and the nerve system. Some are clearly neurotoxic and abortive, but even the “safe” ones can have long-term adverse effects on the baby.

What is difficult to understand for most people is that when a person develops MS or another neurological disease at the age of 20 or 30, no one thinks of asking if the mother used EO’s during the pregnancy or around the baby/child. No one would ever think of linking the two – and yet … New research is pointing that way, therefore we must exercise all caution until we are sure.

Keep off EO around children (not even burned in a room in the same house) until the age of 6 or 7 when the hormone and nerve systems are better developed and can no longer be damaged.

EO’s are very powerful. Cats are very sensitive to them and can die of exposure to some EO’s.

EO’s in the same room as homeopathic remedies contaminate them and destroy their effect. They are so volatile that they penetrate inside the tube of homeopathics and you might as well throw away the contaminated remedies as they become unsafe.

It’s good that this particular client developed a skin irritation to EO’s. She may well be saving her baby from neurological damage before it’s even born.

You will become one of the best-liked and most successful aromatherapists if you warn pregnant women and women with babies and young children and are able to explain the dangers to them.

Wishing you and your clients all the best!

Chloe Adisson answers:

There is little evidence that the HCG diet works, and if you decide to take the drop (pill) form, don’t expect it to work at all. The drops would not be effective as this method the bio-availability of this product is virtually zero.

Additionally, don’t expect to eat healthy on this diet. When on an HCG diet, you are told to consume a very low calorie diet of about 500 calories. This is why the diet works. I could put you on a candy diet, and if you only consumed 500 calories, you would drop weight.

In all honesty, if you intend on doing a very low calorie diet, you are better off with an appetite suppressant than a chemical that really doesn’t work and is insanely expensive.

As far as your original question, regardless of what supplement you take, your body loses weight according to genetics and will not change.

Chloe Adisson answers:

A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women’s urine and you get a miracle diet! All over the counter hcg products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011.
Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real hcg in them but most a similar synthetic hormone. I was in GNC last week. They carry three brands of hcg drops and not one of them has any hcg in them. The well trained salesman even admitted it when I mentioned it. They contained “similar hormones” or amino acids.
Sort of like I’m going to sell you this Toyota Prius but it is really a Ford Focus but we’re going to put a price tag on it that says it is a Toyota Prius. Excuse me?
Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The hcg acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.
The only approved use for hcg is to increase fertility in both men and women.
Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.
The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections can’t even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.
By the way, the expensive “clinical injections” are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn’t want to get an “all cash” practice going?

So the question is are you willing to risk your health based on testimonials, not research, and the statements from doctors in this all cash business?

Chloe Adisson answers:

It is not an easy diet. If you’re expecting to take the HCG & magically lose your weight… You’re in for a huge surprise. You have to be militant to the diet in order to get results. You cannot cheat without dire consequences.

I just finished a 40 day round (to get the baby weight off) and lost 25lbs. My mom is on it & has lost about 30lbs in 30 days. My aunt has had great results too.

You really need to research it. Read the book Pounds & Inches. It’s the original diet. If you decide to do it, you’ll want to find a reputable company to get the HCG from. Do not get it from overseas. And I wouldn’t advise getting it from anyone advertising as an answer on here.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Ive done the HCG diet many times over the past8 yrs,and YES !! I have gotten prego very quick…..i believe this is very true. Do you get a positive preg test when you take hcg shots?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Not many. People can lose weight, but the loss isn’t due to either taking or injecting HCG. There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy.

Scientists have actually investigated this “miracle cure for obesity.”
Not only is the diet no more effective than calorie restriction alone, the HCG also doesn’t affect hunger or other more subjective factors of dieting.

Even experts in the supplement industry say the products aren’t legal and don’t work. Andrew Shao of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, an industry group, says HCG is “not considered a legal dietary ingredient and therefore cannot be sold as a dietary supplement. I am not aware of any scientific evidence that supports its use when taken orally.”

Because HCG is a peptide hormone, it would be broken down by the stomach and rendered ineffective, he says.

Try a 1-3 day juice fast, drink only unsweetened natural fruit and vegetable juices along with plenty of water. Add a little salt especially if you are sweating a lot. Moderate exercise is ok but don’t overexert yourself.

If you feel like you need extra colon cleansing then include prune juice, but be prepared to spend a lot of time in the bathroom getting “cleansed”

Chloe Adisson answers:

Karl, it sounds like you have fallen victim to dodgy marketing in dodgy ‘natural health’ magazines or websites. There is a good reason why this stuff is only promoted by non-medical sources – because its mostly baloney.

‘Detox’ has no meaning outside of the clinical treatment of drug addiction or poisoning. Our bodies have evolved to get rid of unwanted substances very efficiently via the liver and kidneys; this function is not something you can improve upon with alternative medicine products, special diets, fasting or saunas. There is no plausibility or evidence to support the claims of alt med ‘detox’ proponents. If you truly have poisonous levels of toxins accumulated in your body, then you would be extremely ill and need a hospital.

At the end of the day, ‘detox’ as promoted in alternative medicine, is both a fad and a scam. Just because you may see ‘detox’ products in pharmacies it doesn’t mean they are valid; pharmacy chains in general don’t care, they are after profits.

Just do a plain non fat yogurt and water for a couple days thats wat i do to cleanse when i am not feeling too good or need to drop a couple pounds but i dont know how good it cleans the digestive track

Chloe Adisson answers:

Its junk. The reason they turn black is becuase a mixture of vingar and salts are inside of them and it reacts to the oils in your body.

They are a waste of money, look them up on MSN webpage, they did a study of them.

Chloe Adisson answers:

No, it will not help to clean THC out of your system and aside from the water, that’s not going to detox at all.
Niacin is a simple B vitamin that gives a “flushing effect” to your skin… Not to your body. It makes your skin turn red (it makes your skin flush) because it helps with circulation. It won’t burn your intestines (unless you’re highly allergic to it), especially in that low of a dose… But it might turn your skin bright red.
Cranberry juice just helps to make your urine a bit more acidic so it can help to cleanse out a Urinary Tract Infection… It doesn’t specifically detox your body.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Hi! Even you are on the diet and following the protocol, you mus not starve yourself like eat some just don not make your self eat as much as you want, just simply eat an amount that you’ll cravings will be satisfied, just don’t starve yourself, and besides you have your maintenance.

Yeah changes in your diet will make you miss your period or for it to come early…i was on a diet once before (mine didnt work) lol and my period came about 10 days late but went back to normal after a while i wouldnt worry to much about it

Chloe Adisson answers:

Go with the lower calories if you wish. Never go below 1200 per day.
Hcg is a ridiculous and dangerous phenomenon sweeping the country right now. It will only last until the FDA steps in and prevents doctors from prescribing the hcg for unapproved use. It is not approved for weight loss.
The drops are all fake and a waste of time. None contain true hcg but some similar amino acid.
See the two links below before proceeding. You have done so well!
Please don’t fall for the hype and fork over your money to someone selling “hope”.
