      Consider how much healthy groceries you could buy with that amount of money.

    I now realize why there were articles pertaining to obesity in Dominica. This was coming, the new product to combat it, to either promote it or to experiment it on Dominicans.
    I am a concerned person. I have been thinking of the following passage of Holy Scriptures for a long time. It is self-explanatory. Note the words “abstinence from foods”. I call it the ‘diet’ of today. People starve themselves to follow a diet.

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 – False Asceticism (self-denial) – Now the Spirit explicitly says that the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions, through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences. They forbid marriage and require “abstinence from foods” that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything crated by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it I made holy by the invocation of God in prayer.

    Let us be fair to our health. We have a problem in this era. The smaller countries are now following the bigger countries as the U.S. Dominica has Planned Parenthood which originated from the U.S.; now this diet and others. They are bringing everything to our shores. Beware! As it is said: “Take them at your own risk.”
    It shocks me that Dominicans would need a product to combat obesity when they could eat their home-grown foods, in moderation and take care of their health.
    Many products are sold on the market or over the Internet that are unhealthy and may cause death.
    It is shocking that I hear on US TV, the number of medication which have caused illnesses (also deaths) and lawyers are informing the public, should they be affected (if they did not die of course) to contact them. The reason for this is to sue either the doctor or the pharmacies or both including the manufacturers.
    I heard recently that a boy took a medication which grew his breast as a woman. Oh my!
    Then I heard on a Toronto TV Station, “Is fish oil snake oil?” I am pleased that I heard it for I will never take fish oil. If we happen to hear and read about those products, we must be careful. Do not hop and get excited about new products for obvious reasons. We know many have died from ingesting them.
    May we not hear that this product has caused illness or killed Dominicans.

    Here in lies the problem with Dominica…not addressing the real medical issues that are affecting our people.We should be utilizing our own natural health products to the world. Is this Slim G really needed or indicated anywhere in Dominica? Dominica needs to have a call in to all Dominica physicians in the diaspora and back home to form an advisory health council to attack these worsening health issues.

    How much does this cost and where can this be purchased. i was not able to attend the launching.

    Our centenarians would have gotten a similar effect by eating beans with their food.

    This article is limited in information about the product itself, I wish more information would be made available.

    There is nothing better than the natural foods our Almighty Father gave us for our health benefit. They are called “root vegetables” which our ancestors also ate. Take time to grow your own. This is also good exercise.
    They are grown in the soul, watered by natural means, rain and sunlight from natural sun. No one died from eating them. Some people lived to be a hundred, give and take a few years. What is better for us than our natural foods and citrus, he latter, a good source of Vitamin C? Dominicans do not know how lucky they are.
    Right now, while typing this I am drinking “a smoothie” made from fruits. I placed a little honey (optional) in it with water. Milk could be substituted instead of water. Occasionally I will put a little cinnamon and nutmeg powder in it. It is delicious. :lol: This is one way of getting our daily intake of fruits. I just love homemade food and drinks. I also took two Vitamin C pills. Oh yes! I take Vitamins; not medication. I avoid ingesting foreign substances in my body. So far, so good, thanks be to God.
    View especially Dr. Oz. Show and you will learn a lot about healthy eating and how to be slim and keep slim. In any case we should have a certain amount of flesh on our bodies; not too much. Therefore, being skinny is not the way. You do not have to starve yourself to lose weight.

      Vitamin pills are also foreign, how do you know what exactly is in there. someone told you its vitamin pills so you take them. Milk is also not good for the body it comes from a cow born at a hundred, our babies are born max 10.5lbs.

        I do not speak or write futilely. Health begins from childhood. There is a lot you do not know. When you were young, did you take Cod Liver Oil liquid or pills or other ones?
        Aside from eating well (or so we think), drinking milk and eating citrus fruits and vegetables, my parents gave their children these. I learned about Vitamins from youth, right in my parents’ home. I know all about them.
        I also have a Vitamin Bible (I got this by chance) which outlines all sorts of ailments, from a headache to other serious ailments and the Vitamins to take, some of which we have never heard of but they are sold at the pharmacies or we could get some at the health food stores. The doctors could prescribe them but most doctors prescribe medication instead. I say medication is a killer. It does not cure. The book also outlines what may cause the ailment.
        The Canadian government has inspectors who ensure what is sold in the pharmacies as Vitamins are not harmful. I only take a selected few. I do not purchase all sorts of Vitamins or if they are new on the market.
        I listen intently when doctors or other experts give health information on TV. Their Website is accessible for that purpose.
        What is important is to eat a well-balanced meal. It is also recommended that we take Vitamins/supplements. As in everything, we should not overdo it. Moderation in everything is always wise to practice.
        I have been taking Vitamins for years as a supplement and will continue to do so as long as I live.
        I am not on medication. I will only take it unless I absolutely need it, that the doctor prescribes it to me. Know that, no doctor will prescribe any medication to me without my asking him/her a few questions. I will not make a silent patient. My health is important. Our good health is a treasure.
        People have taken medication which caused side effects. They were too strong for them. Some lost their hair on their head from taking medication. In the end they die. I often wonder if they were in need of the medication at all. You know the saying, take charge of your health. People do not lose their hair from taking Vitamins. On the contrary, they help the hair to grow.
        If you want to take everything aside from Vitamins, that people throw at you to make a buck, go ahead. You do not know if this product is healthy. I will never purchase it, not even there was a sale for it.
        Just think of your health, how effective this new product will be and will you derive the benefit from it. I am not a gullible shopper.
        We hear a lot in the news and read in books and over the Internet. We must be careful what we take. A new product to lose weight does not necessarily mean that it will be effective. I have heard that some of them do not work at all. You are free to try whatever you wish or sell. This is your prerogative. However, we cannot go wrong by eating our foods that are grown in our country under normal circumstances. These are healthier than any foreign product which consists of all sorts of mixtures. When I state ‘foreign’, I mean ‘the product’.

    Go to Dr. Oz Website, http://www.DrOz.com. There are all sorts of healthy information on that Website. Dr. Oz. welcomes users. I have saved some of this information and recipes.
    Those who are overweight, the new word ‘obese’ to water-down the guilty feeling of being ‘fat’ or saying “I am fat”, :) as new words in this era are created for non-guilty purpose and how to lose weight healthily and eat moderately, this means, do not overeat. Eat small portions. Exercise and/or walking will assist. Keep in mind as we grow older if we are not active, we will gain weight.
    Have you forgotten drinking milk and water? I read the recommended daily amount of milk is “two glasses” a day. Water, approximately 6 to 8 glasses, medium ones – not big glasses.
    Eat fruits. Make healthy vegetable soups with garlic and onion and other natural herbs according to your taste. Cut down on sugar and salt. In time you will lose the weight and be healthy as ever.
    Hey! This advice is free! It costs nothing! Someday I will charge for it. :lol: Good luck!

    If they can show me centenarians who took this stuff that were stronger and wiser than the one that lived on the nature land of Dominica, I might just give the product a glance. We have all the natural elements and this quick fix probably costs a small fortune too. How can a drink be better than a hike or a refreshing swim in the sea or eating natural food and drinking coconut water, etc. Singing loud “We doh want it”

    We really need to get back to living an active lifestyle and eating what we grow. This is the most healthy, economical, and practical way to get things right. Promoting these prescription to me a pathway down a slippery slope.
