>> ^Kagenin:
As a side note, I cannot stand "Monroe" piercings. It looks dumb!


I thought it was a cyst...

>> ^lucky760:
Banned? By whom, pray tell.

Not FDA Approved in USA (No Surprise!)

And this from Feedzilla

The tapeworm diet: This one involves swallowing cysts that you've dissected out of beef carcass. You allow the tapeworm to live in you for up to 10 weeks. One of the most dangerous diets, it requires you to swallow a parasite and encourages unhealthy eating habits.

I remember a story a while ago of some models tryig to sustain a low weight and trying a Tapeworm Diet...

>> ^Doc_M:
Spoco, you say that obesity is a "new thing" but what you haven't seen is that food hasn't always been as available as it is now. People who had serious diseases did not show symptoms until recently simply due to the fact that they did not have access to the food.... Come on. It's not that hard to grasp. There are TONS of genetic diseases that people assume are just bad values or bad behavior. We need to get beyond that bull shit. I am a geneticist. I'm sick and tired of people blaming behavior on laziness. There IS a significant genetic component of most diseases. You might not "catch" them because they are not f-ing viruses. They are genetic. Part of your f-ing genes. You don't "catch" obesity, but that doesn't mean you don't have a genetic tendency to become obese. And I know what the F I'm talking about.


My understanding has always been that there are disorders that can cause excessive weight gain - and not just because of over eating (or even eating)

Reduced exercise or activity level
Quitting smoking - or other type of tobacco withdrawal
Slowing of metabolism with aging
Reaction to prior dieting
Stress or Comforting Eating (caused by anxiety or depression)
Heart failure
Kidney failure
Brain tumor
Brain trauma
Down's syndrome
Dercum's disease
Thyrotoxicosis
Ovarian cyst
Polycystic ovarian syndrome

to name but a few - I enjoy Rickys routine - but he is obviously using comedy more than fact

Although when you see someone is a cart shopping because "they don't like walking" it does remove the sympathy somewhat.

All said and done, blaming overweight people even when thy eat properly and exercise is obviously not right, and yet that does happen.

When I was a junior in high school, I was hit by a car, and in the process of finding out no bones were broken, a large cyst was found on my ovaries. I was diagnosed soon after with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and told that my very irregular periods and cysts would not completely go away, however, going on the pill would help. If I did not, I had the chance of damaging my ovaries and minimizing my chances of having children down the road. There are benefits to artificial hormones.

Guess it depends whose stats you want to follow. I developed ovarian cysts which required surgery, after being on the mini pill for only two years. I then quit and have had no problems since. I won't use it again.

Sebaceous Cysts, not a tumor

First of all this is not a cyst, a cyst is a closed sac having a distinct membrane and developing abnormally in a cavity or structure of the body, this however is a puss filled cavity is called a abscess. And honestly think it's fake. First an abscess that size wouldn't just pop miraculously, it would have been compressed due to daily life and pressures thus more like a tiny hardened ball, my friend had that shit and it's usually deep under tissue, he had his where his tail bone was.

This is a video of some kind of Asian non-instrument surgery involving graphic footage of a cyst being squeezed and cleaned. It is one of the nastiest things I've ever seen and I hope it doesn't make it out of the queue.
