Half-a-ton Boy - Dancing Fat

Now I know what Phentermine is about! Hey, who’s fat?!!!

What is Phentermine?

Phentermine is an appetite suppressant of the amphetamine and phenethylamine class.

It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight and works by helping to release certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite.

History

In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin® from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin® and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P®. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.

A study was published in 1992 that Fen-Phen was more effective than diet and exercise with few side effects. However, in 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.

Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, individuals may develop an addiction to it. Hence, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries. Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.

Mechanism of action

Phentermine, like many other prescription drugs, works with neurotransmitters in the brain. It is a centrally-acting stimulant and is a constitutional isomer (not to be confused with stereoisomer) of methamphetamine. It stimulates neuron bundles to release a particular group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamines; these include dopamine, epinephrine (also known as adrenalin), and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). The anorectic activity seen with these compounds would thus seem likely due to this effect on the central nervous system, which is consistent with current knowledge about central nervous system systems and feeding behavior. This is the same mechanism of action as other stimulant appetite suppressants such as diethylpropion and phendimetrazine. The neurotransmitters signal a fight-or-flight response in the body which, in turn, puts a halt to the hunger signal. As a result, it causes a loss in appetite because the brain does not receive the hunger message.

VJ Laura Bush spoof

Wednesday 9 May 2007 @ 8:32 am

Very impressive music video from Laura Bush herself ;)
Watch it now!

Funny facts about Laura Bush
1. A former Democrat, Laura has been known to say she is “Republican by marriage.”
2. In 2000, Laura reluctantly admitted she doesn’t necessarily think Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Asked about it since, Laura is quick to add that her opinion shouldn’t matter. She likes to say she is George’s wife, “not his adviser.”
3. What would Laura bring with her if she were stranded on a desert island? Her husband says it would be a vacuum cleaner. Her daughters, who call her “OCD” (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), say “Windex.”
4. Three months after they met at a friend’s backyard barbecue, George asked Laura to marry him. Of her first impression of him, she says, “I thought he was fun.”
5. In Kitty Kelley’s recent book The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, Kelley claims that in college Laura was the “go-to girl for dime bags.” Although she’s never admitted à la Clinton, consider this: According to the Bush twins, while rifling through their parents’ record collection they discovered Laura likes Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley. Case closed.
6. When Laura was 17, she was involved in a deadly car crash on the way to a party. Reportedly so busy talking to a girlfriend she didn’t see it coming, Laura drove through a stop sign and hit another car; a male passenger, Michael Douglas, was ejected and killed. His father, who was traveling in the car behind his, watched as his son went through the windshield and died.
7. Early in Laura’s relationship with W., one of the Bushes asked her, “What do you do?” To which she replied, in a fashion very Edna St. Vincent Millay, “I read, I smoke and I admire.” Though Laura claims to have kicked the smoking habit in the early ’90s, numerous reports say she was sneaking cigs during the recent campaign. In Kitty Kelley’s book, a source calls Laura “a very nice woman who’s got a lot of problems and smokes constantly.”
8. Laura recently told Jay Leno the following story about herself and her man. Her mother in-law had warned her never to criticize George W.’s political speeches, so she never did — until, as they were returning one night from an event where George had made a speech, George asked his wife what she honestly thought of it. Laura said, “Well, it wasn’t that good.” The often-emotional George drove their car into the wall of their garage.
9. Laura loves the film Zoolander.
10. Laura consistently tells us how inspired she was by her mother, and that their regular trips to the library and reading aloud together are her most treasured recollections. As first lady, Laura started the first National Book Festival as well as the “Ready To Read, Ready To Learn” initiative. Her focus through her husband’s first term has been emphasizing the importance of reading aloud and with your young children. Her all-time favorite book is Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, and she is said to possess a worn copy held together by rubber bands.
11. Teresa Heinz-Kerry made the mistake of saying that she wasn’t sure if the first lady ever “had a real job.” But “Laura-steady-as-she-goes” (as her father-in-law supposedly calls her), who worked for a decade as a teacher and librarian in a public elementary school, insisted she wasn’t offended. In fact, Laura is only the second first lady, after Hillary Clinton, to have earned an advanced degree, a masters in library science.
12. George W. calls Laura his “secret weapon,” because according to Gallup polls she is more popular than he, with 73 percent approval.
13. While George W. has been busy weakening our global environment, Laura describes herself as a “preservationist.” She loves gardening, bird watching and hiking, takes annual trips with her girlfriends to cool places like Belize and the Grand Canyon, and was instrumental in the “Preserve America” initiative — focusing on restoring and protecting “natural resources.” Stuff like “monuments and buildings, to landscapes and main streets.” The pride of Laura’s personal efforts is the restoration of 50 acres of the Bushes’ ranch to its original blue-stem prairie grass.
14. Laura once said about our president, “George is not an overly introspective person. He has good instincts, and he goes with them. He doesn’t need to evaluate and re-evaluate a decision. He doesn’t try to overthink. He likes action.”
