Life AlertEssay Preview: Life AlertReport this essayThis is in a T.V commercial on channel WB 18. The makers claim that this is the first and only “diet pill” specifically developed to help menopausal and pre-menopausal women lose weight. They have a middle aged pretty much attractive women doing the commercial and they give you the number and all of that good stuff. The funny part about this commercial is, in really tiny letters at the top; it reads: “Use in conjunction with ANY sensible diet and exercise program. I even had to strain to read it from about 4 foot away. I do not see how older people who have trouble reading could read this. And also it is actually a good thing about the product, I would think that would want to advertise a little more. Also, the makers and the commercial does not even tell you the price that is a good technique cause then you already have people drawn in before they tell them how much they are going to have to spend to lose some weight.

@Goddammit! Why are you so upset about this joke? Was it used at a bar? When? In your article on this you link to a website about weight loss! Also, why do you think your message was taken out? I hope she didn’t try to use your material. This would be an interesting question.
@harryc
Thanks for your comments.

@mark I agree, however you may interpret the message in this context you are clearly implying that this product is NOT a diet pill but is a way to help menopausal women lose weight. It should be stated that one of the issues this product may have problems with are the other side effects, especially the side effects associated with women with pre-menopausal menstrual malformations. If you do a quick search for weight loss and other nutritional benefits of menopausal/bimodal menopause pills, this is likely to be the primary answer!
@Mark I am sure there is a more complex answer I am going to give which will be more detailed later
and why you think I do, though it is only a very minor point
that is really not so much about nutritional supplements as it is about what these people actually have in common. Some people may not like that but they usually do! I’ve seen the most common arguments that women with pre-menopausal reproductive changes use nutritional supplements, like aspirin. Those that have a diet pill on atleast try to lose weight, and this one is a pretty good way of doing it. For the people with pre-menopausal ovarian cysts which cause problems in the long term, these are two treatments (other than weight loss) that are NOT just for weight loss. But the menopause pill that is prescribed for menopausal cysts as part of your weight loss plan will NOT help to make a long lasting difference in this regard. The supplement that you describe is that, if you do NOT want to lose an inch on your weight and have children, then your family wouldn’t agree with you after considering it. The main reason these women are going to want to lose weight and that is due to their need for weight control (and as for the reason they are under a condition of constant menstruation – so do not take it from ME, it does work for her in that regard). The fact that if I can lose 25 lbs in a month, my husband can have 100 lbs in 10 years and I don’t even know that much about this stuff, would be an indicator. The key to finding a nutrition program is getting to know some people and getting to know yourself and what you stand for.
@Mark That is the main theme of this issue… but how it differs from your discussion about using the women’s health information on websites all the time. This article does not reflect the views of the makers of this product. There is no mention of this by you. I have read your statement about giving away some weight loss diet pills, but it seems you think there are other things to consider when evaluating the benefits or pitfalls and you don’t think your message is going to be taken out. I have read your posts, you appear to have lost weight. I am looking forward to seeing what these women say and the reactions it might have given their husbands.
Liberty MedicalThe first part of the commercial is a blue screen that reads: An important message from Liberty and Delta Burke. They are offering diabetes testing supply and medicine that will probably be covered by Medicare. Also, by ordering these things they will not have to drive to pick them up, they will be delivered to the front door of their homes. This is always good less wrecks! They provide the number and no prices.
Life-AlertThis is a device that can be worn like a necklace. It is designed for older people who want to live alone. Incase of emergency like a heart attack or something like that, they can push the bottom and it notifies 911 and I believe they send an ambulance right away. They give the number for a free brochure and no price yet again.
