Fat Loss and Plastic Surgery Content Launched - Lipo-dissolve, liposuction, and more
Health information on the world wide web is widely available, and many people learn about health conditions online before and after doctor visits. eHealthInfoLine has just released two new category areas: fat loss and plastic surgery. Both content sections will help medical consumers research conditions and treatments.
Medical self diagnosis is something nearly everyone does nowadays. Do you have children? If so, then it's likely you have gone to the Internet to research that particularly nasty cough or to find out the best treatment for a cold or fever. While we need doctors to make a diagnosis and recommend treatments, there's nothing wrong with using the Internet as a learning tool.
eHealthInfoLine added new sections about fat loss methods and plastic surgery because these two topics are in the news a lot lately, especially because of popular television shows like The Biggest Loser, Dr. 90210, Nip/Tuck, and Big Medicine on Discovery Health. These shows have introduced millions of people to weight loss techniques, diet and exercise regimens, medical complications related to obesity, and myriad cosmetic surgery treatments and procedures.
Unfortunately, the typical TV show has 30 or 60 minutes to tell a story or educate viewers, and that's not enough time. Furthermore, popular diet and health magazines don't have enough space dedicated to the diet and weight loss news or the good and bad associated with aesthetic plastic surgery.
On eHealthInfoLine medical information consumers find an evergrowing catalog of health information, now including fat loss and plastic surgery material.There's breaking regulatory news that often misses the newspapers and that's not on the evening news. Take for example the latest news related to two different kinds of injection fat removal treatments called lipo dissolve and mesotherapy. Despite the lack of approval from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, the number of people getting lipodissolve treatments keeps going up. Last summer, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts issued a ban making lipodissolve illegal except when being used as part of an approved investigational drug trial. The ban, however, was appealed by a commercial operator of lipo-dissolve businesses and is currently under review.
The truth is, there has been insufficient study on the safety and effectiveness of lipo dissolve, which resulted in the FDA issuing a warning that says, "these are unapproved drugs for unapproved uses and we can't guarantee consumers' safety." Meanwhile, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgeons issued independent statements against lipodissolve injections until the FDA approves it and the availability of data proving safety and efficacy. The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety also issued a consumer warning about injection lipolysis and other forms of fat melting injections.
Kansas was the first state to attempt to ban lipodissolve treatments, also known as advanced lipodissolve, lipo-dissolve, or mesotherapy. Their proposed ban would have affected the most common form of lipodissolve drugs, which is a combination of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate (PC/DC), and is consistent with the FDA's words of warning that PC/DC is a new drug requiring approval. Lipodissolve bans and regulation have already been issued in Brazil, Canada and the United Kingdom in some shape or form.
But is it really necessary to stop doctors or clinicians from giving lipodissolve injections? Many who have had PC/DC injections claim to have greatly benefited from them, and what why a ban is necessary. An argument has been made that the treatments are perfectly safe and even effective when administered by licensed individuals in a proper clinical setting.
