I hate this sort of crap, selling magic pills and spells, playing on people?s insecurities that they might not match up to an air brushed plastic dream sold by glossy magazines.


And is it a coincidence that a Nuala is on their web site as a ?level one independent distributor??


And come to that, what is a ?level one independent distributor??


Good grief...

Maybe if you believe in it, then it works for you, maybe.


But in reality weight loss is down to burning more calories than you consume. That simple. Eat less, exercise more.


But the slimming industry is all about making money and that means they need something a little more complicated.


I do think that if you are making money from something, and I assume that?s why you are the sales contact on the product web site, you ought to come clean and not just pretend to be recommending a product out of the goodness of your heart.


I?m off for a bun.

As someone who's worked in the weight loss industry (the traditional healthy eating/exercise side of it) I can't help but be sceptical about using a patch to miraculously lose weight.


I do, however, agree that emotional issues come into play for many people as far as weight is concerned, but fail to see how a patch would help to deal with these? Surely the healthy eating and exercise route is more effective in achieving overall mind and body results?

Nualacoll is a genuine dulite and seems to have heart in the right place, so we'll give the benefit of the doubt. Guano and winged beans doesn't seem any worse than most of the 'health supplements' out there. Claims to miracle weight loss aside.

"The Jen Fe patch is an extraordinary, simple, self-adhesive information program for better looks and a beautiful figure. At the same time, the uptake of the ingredients contained in the patch is insignificant.


The Je Fe patch contains well-known substances from nutritional supplementation that can guide the healthy upkeep of the human body during scientifically recognized administration of the substance so that it is easier to maintain a beautiful figure. The uptake of the substance from the patch, however, is so minute that the benefits for the beautification and maintenance of the body can not be explained according to conventional ways of thinking."


I thought it was clinically proven, nuala?


Interestingly, on the website there is precious little hard info about the product, and loads about how being a distributor is a great business opportunity.


Scam!

As a nutritional therapist, I find this sort of post both disappointing and alarming to come accross.


There are numerous reasons for people's weight problems, including emotional issues, hormonal imbalances, prescribed drugs, and most often, poor diet and lack of exercise! All of these can be dealt with in a number of different ways, but please do not be fooled by ads for quick magic slimming pills/patches/lotions and potions. There are some fantastic natural supplements that can indeed aid weight loss (mostly due to ingredients which reduce appetite or control the way the body absorbs the fats and sugars) but even they will only help when used to complement a healthy diet and exercise program. The old fashioned way of calories in versus calories out is still the only way proven to work.........short of drastic cosmetic surgery of course!?!


Good luck to everyone out there who is struggling to shift a few pounds, but please please PLEASE beware of handing your hard earned cash over to any sheme which promises quick results with no effort. It simply will not work!

It's true.. there is a saying along those lines. It's what girls say to men with small cocks when there's an embarrassing silence.


(So I'm told)

I just had a quick look at the tread and I will have to come back tomorrow, to your comment, I feel that this patch is not a dubious product and I'm going to leave it at that until tomorrow as I had a lovely time responding to a lovley tread.

There are some people who have a 'gland' problem, such as an underactive thyroid. Other people gain weight as a result of taking medication. But the majority of people who are fat are overeaters and undermovers. The bottom line is that very many of us, including the non-tubby, eat too much. And most of us don't take enough exercise. I don't doubt that changing one's eating and drinking and exercise habits is hard, but that is what is needed to lose weight and keep it off. Don't fall for patches and potions! Nero

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
