Mineral fasting based on ortho-molecular medicine for healthy weight control

In slimming therapy in plastic and cosmetic surgery, treatment based on internal medicine rather than surgical treatments is a viable option. Such surgical treatments, which include liposuction and plastic surgery of the abdominal wall, are contour plasty or partial-slimming techniques, and are not intended for the purpose of weight loss. For reduction of body weight and visceral fat as well as relief from lifestyle-related diseases, this article describes the application of ortho-molecular medicine techniques that center on the use of mineral fasting. During this treatment, mineral fasting and nutrition therapy are conducted while monitoring of nutritional status and body tissue analysis based on blood biochemical testing is periodically performed. During the slimming therapy described here, metabolism becomes hypercatabolized, allowing partial slimming by mesotherapy to become very effective. By applying this slimming therapy in conjunction with surgical therapy, weight loss treatment can be administered with less risk by reducing the necessity to conduct unnecessary liposuction and plastic surgery of the abdominal wall.
