Obesity and Fucus Vesiculosis

Swati is an Indian Mother-of-two, living now in the US, a stay-at-home Mom and wife of an Engineer working in one of USA's top Software companies.

She is well-settled and very happy today, but she wasn't always happy, nor did she have hopes of being 'well-settled' ( as the Indian saying goes ) in life.... in fact, during her college years, her middle class parents in India used to worry whether they would ever find a groom for their overweight, yet pretty, daughter!

For you see, right since her early childhood, Swati was what we euphemistically call 'a bonny baby'. This look suited her in primary school, where she was looked upon as a 'healthy' girl.Since she was good at games, nobody, least of all her parents, thought her 'slight overweight' abnormal.

Swati always had a voracious appetite. The more she played on her school ground, the hungrier she got, and the more she ate.So she ate her way to 52 kg ( 114 pounds ) by the time she was ten.

And her weight continued to increase alarmingly through her teens, too.
Being bright academically, she took up the Science stream in College and graduated in Zoology with a first class.

Now she was twenty years old, and her weight was nearing 90 kg, though she tried her best to
fight weight increase by trying different diets ( a different one every month! ), regular visits to the gym ( which made her more hungry at dinner time )and solitary walks in the park, during which she used to draw derisive comments and sniggers from boys of her age and other
passers-by.

She was the only child of her parents and the apple of their eye. They despaired for her and wondered how they were ever going to be able to get a suitable groom for her.

Loathe though they were to do it, they looked for 'matching weight' grooms, too. But to no avail. They soon discovered that obese grooms were unwilling to look at obese brides!So they considered medical treatment, as a last resort.

Unfortunately for them, anti-obesity drugs did not suit Swati, for she they caused a
lot of side-effects in her.So they looked around for alternatives, and this search led them to me.......

I put Swati on a regimen of FUCUS VESICULOSIS, initially in a high dose and told her to continue her weight-reduction exercises as usual.
Within 3 months, she had begun to loose weight and now she was not so afraid of standing on the weighing machine!

Her confidence in this regimen increased and she got into it body and spirit.

Now I suggested some 'Pranayam' and Yoga too, which she did faithfully every day.

Well, after one year, her weight was a more acceptable 80 kg ( 176 lbs ).
She was now 22 years old, and doing her MBA.
By the time she finished her MBA course, Swati was an attractive 67 kg...... and cast a very favourable impression on people with her pleasing personality.

She was now working in a Multinational Bank, and was often on the Net.She met her future groom ( Ashish ) on the Net, in a marriage forum for Indians, where he was looking for an Indian bride.

They got talking to each other and met up in Mumbai, when he flew down a few months later.
Draped in a beautiful saree, she captured his heart, too.

Their parents gave their approval, and soon Swati and Ashish were married in style, at a gala ceremony, in his native town in South India.
After a few months, after her visa was cleared, Ashish proudly took his
bride to the US!

Post script : Swati's weight hovers in the 62-67 kg range and she still
takes Fucus vesiculosis, intermittently, when she feels she needs it.
