Safer than Phen-Fen!

by Michael Anchors

MembersReviewsPopularityAverage ratingConversations
3None4,093,212 (3)None
Without a doubt, the prescription-drug combination of phentermine and fenfluramine known as phen-fen has become the most successful medical weight-loss method ever, used by more than 18 million people in the U.S. However, while plhentermine has been used safely for more than thirty years, a growing body of scientific evidence links fenfluramine to dangerous side effects affecting the heart and lungs. Similar alarming results are reported with Redux and Pandimin, related weight-loss prescription aids. Dr. Michael Anchors, a Harvard-trained physician and an expert on treating obesity, has developed a safe alternative. Using phentermine with other medications in place of fenfluramine, he has helped over 600 people lose more than 10,000 pounds since 1995 -- and the vast majority have shown they can keep the pounds off with no more than a minor maintenance program. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Anchors spells out his safe, new path to weight loss and better health. He also explains the proper role of exercise and diet in weight-loss programs, tells how to locate doctors experienced in the use of prescription drugs for weight loss, and prepares you to talk knowledgeably with your doctor about the issue. There's much more, including a chapter addressed specifically to physicians. By buying this book and discussing it with your doctor, you can put yourself on the road to safe, permanent weight loss today!About the Author Michael Anchors, M.D., Ph.D.,obtained his doctorate in biochemistry from Harvard University in 1974 and continued his studies as a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA.
