Todos y cada uno de nosotros, en mayor o menor medida, poseemos un denso y arqueológico tesoro comprendido de historias, cuentos, fábulas, ficciones, anécdotas, relatos, quimeras, y hasta de pensamientos mitológicos y reflexiones metafísicas que la mayoría de las veces -cuando no siempre- no llegamos a narrar estos apólogos porque aparentemente, nuestras ilusiones sobre el futuro nacen fatigadas y abrumadas por el peso del pasado que se empecina en colgarse odiosamente en el presente de las inéditas jácaras que atesora nuestro espíritu; las que viven perpetuamente aplastadas bajo el negro y filudo peso del agobiante silencio de nuestras bocas.
Todas las palabras llevan peso, ya sean palabras cortas o voces largas. Todas. Algunas palabras son livianas, otras pesados alaridos, otras ingrávidos clamores; y otras de un sonido abrumadoramente cargado. Los esqueletos de las palabras por sí solas no llevan tanto peso, pero que en el conjunto de sus carnes; embutidas en una historia, pueden generar un lastre acucioso y abrumador. Quizá nuestras historias estén descansando retorcidas e indefensas en nuestro vientre escritor en ensortijadas posiciones embrionarias, o quizá estén postradas de rodillas humildemente clamándonos por una débil piedad para que las liberemos hacia las vastas distancias del etéreo pensamiento humano.
Sé que en repetidas y apremiantes ocasiones un afluente tropel de desordenadas y cristalizadas palabras se abalanzan a ciegas sobre nuestros sueños de libertad expresiva, quizá abreviándose a sí mismas para que las dejemos salir entre susurros de imaginación y murmullos de realidad, tratando de no pesar, montadas en un leve suspiro, aferradas al aire tratando de no apabullar nuestros frágiles y fluídos espíritus. Pero nos negamos a suspirar, no nos queremos quejar ni anhelar lo anhelante, no nos desahogamos ni gimoteamos una breve pena o una larga alegría para darles una escueta vía de escape a nuestras historias que se agitan adornadas con sus alegres e inquietas palabras.
Pero las palabras que hacen nuestras historias son nuestras, ¡las poseemos a todas ellas! y ellas están incondicionalmente a nuestro servicio si las queremos emplear para construír nuestras historias nacidas de los numerosos pliegos y musgosas arrugas de nuestro pasado. Sí, a pesar de que somos los patrones de nuestras historias, a veces nos cuesta el permitirles escapar de nuestros fruncidos corazones, para poder y así dejar más espacio en ellos para nuevas y más dulces memorias.
También hay que tener en cuenta de que las palabras son caprichosas y antojadizas cuando no, vanas e improcedentes. Digo que son caprichosas porque a pesar de que podemos tener muchos sinónimos y acepciones afines para una palabra, no siempre se puede encontrar un antónimo apropiado. Por ejemplo, ¿Cuál es el antónimo de trueno? ¿Cuáles son los antónimos de rojo, agua, condón y Chile? El antónimo debería ser el recíproco opuesto de sinónimo, pero no lo es porque en muchas ocasiones, no existe. ¿Es posible decir que el suave acerbo de la afasia es la vocinglería o la alharaca? ¿O que albañal se opone a cenotaño o al cotarro? La cosa es mi querido lector, que las reglas de la ortografía con sus compinches gramaticales y lingüísticos dictan que los "adjetivos" no poseen antónimos. Ahí lo tiene: ¡hay discriminación hasta en las palabras! Seguro de que aquí hay envuelto un abogado deshonesto y anacreóntico.
¿Y las palabras que se adornan a sí mismas con elegantes, sutiles y sobrias joyitas como la diéresis? Ese signo diacrítico que consiste en esos dos distintivos puntos que le dan más carácter a la ü por ejemplo. ¿Y qué pasa con la letra ñ? ¿Sabía usted que la virgulilla de la ñ se originó en la Edad Media? En la Edad Media, las copias manuscritas de textos y documentos eran ejecutados por los monjes en las catacumbas de los lóbregos monasterios; uno de esos obscuros negocios de los traficantes de inmanentes dioses. Cuando estos escritos les presentaban dos letras enes (n) seguidas a los eremitas monjes -ocurrencia bastante habitual en Latín- podía ocurrir que estas dos enes se confundiesen fácilmente con una eme (m), especialmente si el monje que escribía tenía un poco de Alzheimer, o le faltaba una dosis de espíritu de por lo menos unos 40°.
Entonces, para evitar esta posible confusión, los copistas manuscritores colocaron una ene más pequeña sobre la otra ene. Con el paso del tiempo y el apuro en hacer tantas copias ya que Gutenberg no había nacido todavía para socorrer la plaza, la letra "n" superior fué disminuyendo poco a poco de tamaño, hasta que quedó rezagada al trazo que actualmente usamos. Esto nos sirve ahora para distinguir convenientemente y sin confusión algunas palabras como enseñada de ensenada; empanada de empañada, o una de uña. ¿Sabía usted que en la lengua Castellana hay 2.266 términos que llevan la letra ñ?
-¡Curioso!- se dirá usted, pero no lo es. Lo que sí es curioso y sospechoso además, es el aislado hecho por ejemplo de que las "Sagradas Escrituras" no mencionan nada acerca de astronomía a pesar de que el ser humano ha estado mirando la bóveda celeste desde los albores de su creación; buscando respuestas a la intriga de su verdadero origen, una respuesta a este origen con más sentido común, con más lógica, con más raciocinio y sensatez, y con una credibilidad más inteligente y más madura. Curioso es que en estas "escrituras" se evite intencionalmente lo inocultable y lo inevitable se disfrace con historietas pueriles sin credibilidad. Estas "escrituras" mencionan el Sol y la Luna sólo una vez, y por necesidad. Una o dos veces mencionan a Venus (no me acuerdo exactamente porque hace rato que no leo esta novela), pero disfrazado bajo el nombre de "Lucifer". Estos manuscritos arcaicos son tan obsoletos que los "Jinetes del Apocalipsis" todavía montan caballos. Si usted realmente ha leído las escrituritas éstas en su totalidad, me dará la razón.
-¡Curioso!- exclamará usted otra vez, pero no lo es. Curioso es por ejemplo que la supuesta infalibilidad del Papa sólo se puede aplicar a materias espirituales (porque ninguna de estas se puede comprobar), y nunca a la ciencia ni a las cosas materiales porque resultaría fallida. ¿Lo había notado usted? No reaccione; ¡piense! Giordano Bruno (un oscuro fraile Dominicano italiano) expresó públicamente estos pensamientos hechos con las mismas cargadas palabras que le acabo de vomitar a usted en sus ojos, y la "iglesia" lo excomulgó y lo quemó vivo en el año 1600 por su osada herejía.
-¡Curioso!- prorrumpirá usted una vez más y esta vez un poco confuso, y quizá un tanto airado; pero no lo es. Curioso es que Bruno ayudó a precipitar su horrible e injusta muerte por decir con franca honestidad que él creía que el Sol era una estrella y que el universo contenía un número infinito de mundos habitados poblados por otros seres inteligentes. Galileo lo escuchó claramente y estuvo de acuerdo con esto, pero no dijo ni pío. Más curioso aún es que el Cardenal italiano Francesco Satolli dijo exactamente lo mismo que dijo Bruno acerca del Papa alrededor del año 1890; apenas con unos doscientos de años de diferencia, pero Satolli consiguió ganarse el curioso y ptolemaico sombrerito rojo, y Bruno fué asesinado el 7 de Febrero de 1600, a la edad de 52... Entonces, ¿la herejía religiosa de antaño es hoy la válida ortodoxia?, ¿o es simplemente una conveniente y cínica compasión patronizante?
A pesar de la mala publicidad, creo que la mayoría de los frailes son decentes, intachables, honestos, y bien intencionados. Sé que hay muchos "religiosos" que aceptan sin problema la realidad de la evolución y reconocen que las religiones están basadas en la fantasía utópica, irreconciliable y carente de hechos reales. En cambio los frailes fundamentalistas, los ciegos de razón y estériles de sentido común mercadean sus preceptos, los cuales sacan de un libro lleno de narraciones de horrores absurdos y magia mal entendida, abigarrado de hechos inverosímiles y risibles, de preceptos ridículos y caricaturescos, de arlequinescos actos necios e irrazonables; y todo esto, recubierto y acolchado de enormes contradicciones que están en franca oposición a la ciencia y al progreso, y que están diseñadas por cierto, para mantener al Hombre en el proverbial Oscurantismo, y así poder vivir sin trabajar explotando la voluntaria estupidez humana.
Sí señor, las palabras pesan más cuando les ponemos una dosis de insolente curiosidad o atrevida intención entre sus amplios pliegues. ¿No está usted de acuerdo? ¿Cuánto más pesarían si les agregamos un traidor conato?
Pero yo no pierdo mi ocupado tiempo en explicar las verdades lógicas porque es completamente imposible el enseñarle la verdad a los que no desean escucharla, y también entiendo lo vano que es oír las respuestas vacantes de sentido común y lógica con que se contestan las verdades cuando un estulto retruécano arguye los claros propósitos de los hechos reales. Al final, hasta los infalibles mueren.
Quizá a usted le pase lo que me pasa a mí tan a menudo. Mis palabras son demasiado abundantes, son torrenciales, son copiosas y exuberantes, son fecundas y bulliciosas (¡y estas son sólo las que conozco!), y por esto me cuesta un martirio sacarlas de las profundidades de mi emuntoria dicción en una clara forma ensordecedoramente resonante y melódica, haciéndole justicia a sus contenidos y manteniendo la harmonía de sus mensajes. Tiene que ser así: en forma sonora y canora, amarga y dulzona, arrebatada y cadenciosa, explosiva y dormilona, disonante y melodiosa, lenta y fulminante, estrepitosamente ruidosa y escandalosamente bulliciosa porque el peor martirio que existe para matar una palabra, su historia y su peso, es dejarla salir en silencio.
Mi gran problema (gran problema por cierto) es que mis cuentos e historias no son cortas ni momentáneas, sino que son demasiado largas e insolentes. Sí, son insolentes porque las libres palabras de mis historias no tienen ni miedo ni vergüenza, ni recato ni prudencia porque son honestas, y les gusta abalanzarse descaradamente y sin piedad sobre tímpanos fuertes como el cuero crudo, y sobre aquellos frágiles y desprevenidos como el sublime himen de una virgen en celo.
Mis historias se adueñan de mí y de mi caprichosa imaginación sin celada impunidad. Y entonces mis historias ponen su enorme peso a descansar en mi conciencia, en mis principios, en mi honestidad y en mi locura literaria obligándome a gritarlas con honestidad y desafío. Me fustigan con sus explosivos y ruidosos látigos hechos de colas de dragones dementes para que yo las escupa sobre el papel, y así, crear un rabioso alboroto aún más bullicioso que el de la palabra hablada, porque a éstas, se las lleva el viento enredadas en su ulular; pero las historias escritas dejan testimonio firme, y hasta quizá puedan volver un azabache y fuliginoso día a morderme traicioneramente la vida a mansalva.
Mis historias no sólo vociferan sus sórdidas tripas con alaridos bestiales, sino que también me sacuden las emociones y me sugieren en cada efímero instante su intensa fatiga existencial y sus perennes sueños de libertad que viven confundidos en el hondo y ancho abismo de aquella amada locura que poseo hecha de tantas etéreas dimensiones y dementes formatos.
Mis historias me obligan a escribir sin descanso, me empujan a desestabilizar el orden de los puntos y de las comas, me fuerzan a violar y a delinquir en contra de las rígidas y puritanas reglas de ortografía, me hacen tiranizar las expresiones y a estrangularlas con corchetes, paréntesis y diéresis, y me ayudan a horrorizar a los pedagogos de la indecente decencia social. Mis historias no duermen ni me dejan tomar siestas reparadoras como solía hacerlo en la quieta hamaca de mi abuelito Víctor, esa bienaventurada hamaca que descansaba despreocupada entre las ramas de la longeva higuera que me susurraba historias del viento y el solitario clavo que la sostenía incrustada al murallón de adobes en la antigua casona del Cerro Alegre, en ese inolvidable Valparaíso que vió crecer sin tapujos casi todas las insanas inanidades de todas mis mentes. No, mis historias no me dejan dormir, me castigan con ojeras y con largas noches de oquedades infinitas.
Después de que la pandemónica fiebre de mi febril pluma se ha apaciguado es cuando leo las palabras que he escrito en mi delirio copular literario, y a menudo me sucede que mis cuentos no son lo que intentaba escribir a pesar de que arrastran consigo drásticamente todos sus espíritus y sentidos. A veces cuando leo mis historias, creo que se han quedado cortas de su meta e imperdonablemente aletargadas, y aunque me esfuerzo en despertarlas de su letargo retórico, no consigo sacudirles su inconsciencia aunque invoque toda mi destreza novelesca y descriptiva, en un tremendo esfuerzo conclusivo y heroico, tal como la salvaje avispa apaga su vida toda y entera en un solo y final aguijonazo.
Esto pone un ennegrecido terror negro en mi pecho porque no quiero que mis lectores tengan que sobrevivir mis escritos y se pierdan para siempre siguiendo una sequía literaria que deambule sonámbula en páginas sin fin ni destino. Si no inquieto a mi lector, por cualquier sórdido medio o clarividente artilugio, si no lo enfurezco o lo calmo, si no planto la maleza de la desconfianza en su corazón y lo lleno de prístinas o nuevas esperanzas; lo convertiré en una víctima de una tortura retórica y tediosa, en un prisionero con la condena de leer palabras de cartón seco y desabrido; y él ya no volará al unísono y en armonía a través de las vertiginosas y siderales alturas en las que mis veleidosas historias pretenden volar.
Quiero que mi lector se embarque sin titubear en las brutales jornadas sin límite y sin el destino presagiable de mis historias, que se encuentre a boca de jarro con el éxtasis al entorno de cada página, que cada inusitado descubrimiento que haga en la historieta sea una colisión despiadada de luces e iracundos colores, que al leer mis pesadas palabras, se le atraganten las ascuas en la garganta, que en aquellos oasis que su alma encuentre, ésta pueda detenerse a beber conciencia y a saciar regaladamente su sed espiritual con elíxires celestiales rebosantes de ilusiones, y que sean una confundida experiencia real y astral, quiero que el lector se intoxique con mis mitológicas historias, con mis verdaderas mentiras y mis cínicas verdades, y que las pesadas palabras de mis cuentos ensanchen su imaginación como la horma de hierro ensancha un testarudo zapato, y con la derrochadora emoción y el amante dolor con que el rígido cérvix de una madre se rinde incondicionalmente y se agiganta generosamente para parir la dulce vida contenida en un nuevo y frágil paquetito de amor.
En este nutrido arsenal de efímeras memorias que llegan a mí navegando presurosas desde el futuro, arsenal que no acabo de conocer o entender, tengo a mi disposición una cantidad insana de cuentos gloriosos, cuentos tristes y alegres, pero más que nada, cuentos dementes los cuales recorro a diario montado en los transparentes y taurinos unicornios en los que cabalgo las nómadas distancias de las noches de mi consciencia que están hechas de oscuras luces y brillantes sombras, cortando la gruesa bruma de mis sueños a una velocidad linear infinita.
Durante el recorrido de estas exorbitantes excursiones de cronología desequilibrada, ni al lector ni al cuento les preocupa la amplitud, la distancia o el conocido pero indescifrable rumbo de este vuelo de nuestras imaginaciones conjuntas, no les importa el vértigo de la altura ni los paranoicos cambios de velocidades que la historia les impone en su persecución del desenlace. La avidez con que se comen las pesadas palabras no conoce descanso y los incita y provoca a seguir devorando las palabras si el relato les azuza a seguir surcando entre las ligeras páginas del libro que contiene y les trae esa interminable cordillera de palabras danzarinas.
Algunas de mis historias traen finales tapizados de palabras gloriosas e intempestivas, otras traen un suspenso mutilado de arcadas incomprensibles, y otras se pierden en las melancólicas imaginaciones de mi lector, pero la mayoría de mis defectuosas historias no tienen un final exacto, sino que dejan peligrosamente enredado un principio, una ilusión, una advertencia, o una pesadísima palabra pegada al paladar mental de mi lector para que éste la digiera como pueda. Esto es porque yo no escribo historias, sino que las perpetro inicuamente tratando de dejar el leve vestigio de una humilde huella en la densa niebla de los humanos entendimientos. Tampoco quiero domar a mis enemigos con mis historias, sino confundirlos en la armonía de la paz y fusionarlos con el sentido de la civilidad.
Sé que muchas veces usted ha querido escribir sus palabras y construir así sus historias, sílaba por sílaba, palabra por palabra, esparciendo algunas palabras livianas por aquí y por allá, poniendo algunas palabras pesadas por allá y por aquí, haciendo malabarísticos trueques entre contracciones, pronombres, artículos y otros menesteres ortográficos, poniendo en duelo los puntos con las comas, incrustando un diptongo por aquí, o tal vez por allá, y confrontando abiertamente a los guiones cortos con los acentos largos para poder adornar su historia; pero no lo logra, y se frustra.
A mí me pasa esto a menudo; no siempre, pero a menudo, pero cuando logro hacer que mi pluma fluya ágilmente sobre el papel como la sangre lo hace de las heridas abiertas, escribo mis historias tratando de identificarme con sus sueños, en un intento de vocear a todo pulmón lo que usted no se atreve, a recriminar al mundo como usted lo quisiera hacer, a criticar por usted lo incriticable que otros no osan criticar, y a tirar esa dura piedra con fuerza inusitada para que usted no tenga que esconder su mano.
¿Por qué escribo historias de pesadas palabras? Primero, porque soy dueño absoluto de una dulce demencia, sí; soy loco y porque creo firme e impávidamente de que soy capaz de hacer hervir el océano; pero la razón más importante, propulsora y matriz que me guía a escribir mis historias es simplemente porque usted es mi lector, usted es el que revive cuidadosamente mis vertiginosas palabras e ilusiones y les asigna su propio peso, con el propio vahído de su propia imparcialidad; usted es el que las critica con justicia o las lincha con tiranía, usted es aquel que las lee todas, o las abandona con desquicio sin terminarlas.
Escribo mis historias con sus pesadas palabras para usted, para mi lector; porque después de todo, usted es el que decide adoptar o rechazar libremente los humildes epigramas que rescato con gran esfuerzo desde el fondo del profundo pozo de mis palabras, y que se las hago llegar a sus manos con la inmortal esperanza de que usted aprenda a odiarlas como a sus más bajos enemigos, o a quererlas como si fueran sus propias criaturas.

Morbid Obesity, a Heavy and Perilous Foe
Do you know that cute fat kid next door? Well, his grandfather probably will bury him before he dies. His parents will put him to rest for sure. Does it sound bizarre? Well, it is not. It is not at all. Kids 6 – 9 years old with Morbid Obesity today are more likely to die before their parents do. A cute fat kid might be charming, but he may well be at the point of not return in the inexorable line of the “Fast Food” death row.
People affected by Morbid Obesity need to come to terms with the understanding that morbid obesity it is indeed a very serious chronic disease. Symptoms build slowly over a long period of time, and because of their slow build up pace, these indicators are normally ignored. This circumstance makes "clinically severe obesity" a lethal and chronic morbid disease. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) define morbid obesity as being 100 pounds or more over than you stereotype body weight, or having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater, or having a BMI of 35 or greater and one or more co-morbid conditions (there are 22 of them), where comorbidity articulate the effect of all other diseases an individual patient might have other than the primary disease of significance.
The disease of morbid obesity seriously hampers basic physical functions such as breathing, walking, or normal sexual activity. There are also long-term implications of the disease, which in some cases, long term might mean just a year (The Charlson co-morbidity index predicts 1 year mortality for a patient who may have a range of co-morbid conditions such as heart disease, AIDS, or cancer). Some of these long term repercussions include shorter life expectancy, acute health consequences in the form of weight-related conditions such as type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and a poor and inferior quality of life. Morbid obesity take away economic opportunities, and seriously impairs a normal social life.
Obesity is a serious public health issue in the U.S. Today, more than 25 million of adults are living with morbid obesity disease in the United States. This figure does not include children! By the year 2010, projections show that there may be over 33 million U.S. adults living with morbid obesity.
According to the standard guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an individual is deem to be "obese" when he or she weighs 20 % or more than his or her ideal body weight. You can always check your estimated weight values in a Height to Weight Ratio Chart. However, just a 20% of extra weight over your estimated ideal weight will establish a real health risk for you. Obesity will become "morbid" when it drastically increases the risk of one or more obesity-related health conditions, or serious co-morbidities. Amid medical terms, morbid obesity is often called "clinically severe obesity".
Today an estimated 97 million Americans, more than one-third of the adult population, are severely overweight or obese, and the number escalates every year at an alarming rate. An estimated 25 million of those overweight Americans are considered morbidly obese. If your weight is more than twice your ideal index, you double your risk of early death, you boost you risk of death from diabetes or heart attack to about 5-7 times; and you are now at the stage of untreatable obesity, along with an unwanted number of negative social, psychological and economic unavoidable consequences.
Have you had enough yet? Well, here are just a few more indulgences, courtesy of obesity and morbid obesity, and in alphabetical order:
Depression. Unfortunately, depression can kill you because it is a psychological condition and a somber problem that radically changes how you think and feel about yourself and others, impinges on your social behavior, and on your sense of physical well-being. Being obese is not an easy burden. If you are obese, alas you must deal with constant, depressing, and defying emotional ordeals such as unsuccessful diet program attempts, sometimes unfair and cruel censure from family, disrespect ands psychosomatic abuse from friends, and the ever present burlesque remarks from totally disrespectful strangers. These are grounds for social and intellectual isolation; to the point that you start to discriminate you and impeding yourself from adequately behave and function in public places.
Hiatal hernia and heartburn. There is a valve that sits on the top of your stomach -the lower esophageal sphincter- that suffers the disturbing effects of surplus weight. Your excessive flab weakens and overloads the esophageal sphincter to the point that it opens spontaneously when it shouldn’t and stays open for irregular periods of time. Also, the sphincter will not close properly and your semi-digested stomach stuffing will come up into your esophagus. Yuck! So the acid from your stomach will cause your esophagus to experience gastroesophageal reflux, and "heartburn", and this can lead to more complicated health ramifications to include esophageal cancer.
High blood pressure and Heart disease. Your heart will not operate correctly when the body is hauling around excessive weight. So you might get, without further delays, a wonderful hypertension (high blood pressure), which will lead to fatal strokes and will damage your heart and may mutilate the normal function of your unsuspecting kidneys.
Infertility. Infertility is your biological inability to contribute to conception or fecundation. This extreme condition is equally distressful for men and women. Obesity inflicts devastating damage to hormonal natural performance functions and execution purposes. It put an end to normal sexual activities, leading to the inability to conceive, with a gamma of consequential moral and psychological impairments.
Menstrual irregularities. Sometimes women have problems in their menstrual cycle. These problems are called menstrual irregularities or simply, menstrual problems. Woman affected by these conditions may not get periods, get irregular sequential periods, get periods too frequently, have unpredictable menstrual bleeding, or they may have painful periods. Normally when this conditions are not produced by pregnancy’s inherent effects, menstrual irregularities are by and large a sign of a deeper overall health circumstances or problem. Among these deeper overall health circumstances is morbid obesity.
Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints. When your unfairly abused joints carry your bonus weight, specially your knees and hips, it will bring them terrible wear and tear, along with uncomfortable pain and distressing inflammation. Because of this your back gets an invitation to join the party. Imposed strain on bones and muscles of your back will turn to irreversible disk problems, constant pain, and a considerable mobility reduction for you.
Sleep apnea and Respiratory problems. Doctors and researches have told us over and over that the weight of the unchecked fat accumulation in your neck and in your tongue will begin to acutely obstruct your air intake, especially if you sleep on your backs. The musical contribution to this will be your lovely snoring. You will lose sleep, and besides having daytime drowsiness and headaches, you will be drained and unfocused.
Type-2 Diabetes. Obesity quickly turns you resistant to insulin, which regulates your blood sugar concentration levels. Unregulated sugar levels provoke high blood sugar content, which causes Type-2 diabetes. This is the most common form of diabetes, in which either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is absolutely necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. Without the proper provision of insulin, your cells may be starved for energy at once, and over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt your eyesight, kidneys functions, nerve system, or heart.
Urinary stress incontinence. A weakening and deteriorating effect of the urethral valves of the bladder it is a direct consequence of sagging abdomens. Outsized and flabby abdomens weaken ominously pelvic muscles, creating a lack of performance side-effect of the valves which results in urine leakages when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or screaming. The visual and patent effects of these leaks contribute to depression, self esteem deterioration, and other issues.
In the U.S. obesity rate is on the rise at a quick pace, but the proliferation rate of extreme, morbid obesity is developing three times faster, as studies show.
CHILE
In the South American country of Chile, the results of a Government's National Health Survey in 2003 showed that the index on population for overweight individuals was 37.8%, on the population segment for non-morbid obesity was 21.9%, and the index for the morbid obesity portion was 1.3%. Obesity occurrence was notably higher among people with a lower educational level, at a dreadful ratio of 1 to 5, and the occurrence of morbid obesity was six times higher in the low socioeconomic stratus.
Detrimental comorbidities inherent to obesity conditions are also prevalent among the Chilean population. Another serious social condition that increases the risk and attainment of obesity is the predominance of a sedentary lifestyle among Chileans. The soaring sedentary habits of Chileans are extremely high, accounting for the 89.4% of the country’s inhabitants. In Chile today, there are more than 200,000 individuals suffering morbid obesity, the study shows. Since most of these cases are amid the low end of the socio-economic and educational stratus, a great number of these individuals are suffering the disease consequences, and are in great need of expensive health care, which renders these services for them, unaffordable.
Preliminary clinical data from the program for Surgical Treatment of Obesity managed and lead by the Clinical Hospital of the Catholic University of Chile, made available results showing an epidemic predominance of cardiovascular risk factors. This statistics were obtained from a sample population among young obese subjects with an average age of 37. In many cases, a single individual exhibited two or more risk factors, and 10% of the tested population was ranked as a high global cardiovascular risk, according to the Framingham Risk Score (the Framingham risk score identifies patients at increased cardiovascular risk, and helps determine the need for preventive interventions).
Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery is also known as weight loss surgery, and the name it is associated to an assortment of surgical procedures executed to contend with obesity. These procedures deal with the modification of the size of the gastrointestinal tract, hence to reduce food quantity intake. For obese individuals who have been powerless to implement a drastic and permanent change in lifestyle in order to achieve a significant weight loss through diet and exercise, bariatric surgery may be an option to obtain a substantial weight loss.
Mounting evidence clearly shows that non-surgical treatment of subjects with severe or morbid obesity is insufficient anywhere in the world today, including in Chile. As an added benefit, bariatric surgery is linked to an 89% reduction in the risk of death as well as an 82% of preventive reduction in cardiovascular disease for morbidly obese patients. Since 2000, bariatric surgery services in Chile are undergoing a sustained increase. Mexico and the United States show a similar situation.
Some statistics on Morbid Obesity
The statistics depicted below can not be completely verified since the available information differs tremendously from source to source. The stats were gathered from public information places and from publically available medical studies over time, so some values might be inexact or outdated. However, these statistics are intended to give you a general idea and perspective of the problem.
Obesity:
• Some 70 million Americans are overweight
• Some 40 million Americans are obese
• Some 30 million Americans are morbidly obese
• Eight out of 10 Americans over 25 are overweight
• Some 78% of American's are not meeting basic activity level recommendations
• Some 25% are completely sedentary
• There has been a 76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 years old since 1990
Obesity Related Diseases:
• 80% of type II diabetes is related to obesity
• 70% of cardiovascular diseases are related to obesity
• 42% breast and colon cancer are diagnosed among obese individuals
• 30% of gall bladder surgery is related to obesity
• 26% of obese people have high blood pressure
Childhood Obesity:
• A 4% overweight in 1982 went to 16% overweight 1994
• 25% of all white children were overweight by 2001
• 33% African American and Hispanic children were overweight by 2001
• Hospital costs associated with childhood obesity did rise from $35 Million in 1979 to $127 Million in 1999
Childhood Metabolic and Heart Risks:
• New study suggests one in four overweight children is already showing early signs of type II diabetes
• 60% of obese children already have one risk factor for heart disease
Childhood Diabetes Surge
• Between 8% - 45% of newly diagnosed cases of childhood diabetes are type II, associated with obesity.
• Whereas 4% of Childhood diabetes was type II in 1990, that number has risen to approximately 20%
• Depending on the age group (Type II most frequent 10-19 group) and the racial/ethnic make up of the group stated of children diagnosed with Type II diabetes, 85% are obese
Miscellaneous
A study linking morbid obesity and depression that appeared in the American Journal of Epidemiology denotes people who suffer from morbid obesity, are at least five times more predisposed to become depressed than those who are not. This puts people who are morbidly obese are at a very high risk for suicide.
Persons who are subject to morbid obesity, in addition of having to deal with the extra weight and unattractive aesthetics of their bodies, they also have to deal with the pitiless and emotionally taxing social stigma coupled with obesity, mayor contributors to the onset of depression.
ScienceDaily (Sep. 3, 2006 – Extract) — University of Florida researchers have discovered a link between morbid obesity in toddlers and lower IQ scores, cognitive delays and brain lesions similar to those seen in Alzheimer's disease patients, a new study shows.
Although the cause of these cognitive impairments is still unknown, University of Florida researchers suspect the metabolic disturbances obesity causes could be taking a toll on young brains, which are still developing and not fully protected, they write in an article published in the Journal of Pediatrics "Now, we're postulating that early-onset morbid obesity and these metabolic, biochemical problems can also lead to cognitive impairment."
A Word of Caution
In the present day, obesity has developed itself into the public enemy number one, and the main health threat issue in the United States. Researches have shown us overwhelming amounts of evidence supporting findings that puts obesity and morbid obesity, as an important cause of preventable death in the United States, closely following behind tobacco consumption.
According to the National Institute of Health, more than 300,000 deaths per year are rooted on obesity.
So, do you know that cute fat kid next door? You might never look at him again the same way…

Obesity is a serious public health issue in the U.S. Today, more than 25 million of adults are living with morbid obesity disease in the United States. This figure does not include children! By the year 2010, projections show that there may be over 33 million U.S. adults living with morbid obesity.
According to the standard guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an individual is deem to be "obese" when he or she weighs 20 % or more than his or her ideal body weight. You can always check your estimated weight values in a Height to Weight Ratio Chart. However, just a 20% of extra weight over your estimated ideal weight will establish a real health risk for you. Obesity will become "morbid" when it drastically increases the risk of one or more obesity-related health conditions, or serious co-morbidities. Amid medical terms, morbid obesity is often called "clinically severe obesity".
Today an estimated 97 million Americans, more than one-third of the adult population, are severely overweight or obese, and the number escalates every year at an alarming rate. An estimated 25 million of those overweight Americans are considered morbidly obese. If your weight is more than twice your ideal index, you double your risk of early death, you boost you risk of death from diabetes or heart attack to about 5-7 times; and you are now at the stage of untreatable obesity, along with an unwanted number of negative social, psychological and economic unavoidable consequences.
Have you had enough yet? Well, here are just a few more indulgences, courtesy of obesity and morbid obesity, and in alphabetical order:
Depression. Unfortunately, depression can kill you because it is a psychological condition and a somber problem that radically changes how you think and feel about yourself and others, impinges on your social behavior, and on your sense of physical well-being. Being obese is not an easy burden. If you are obese, alas you must deal with constant, depressing, and defying emotional ordeals such as unsuccessful diet program attempts, sometimes unfair and cruel censure from family, disrespect ands psychosomatic abuse from friends, and the ever present burlesque remarks from totally disrespectful strangers. These are grounds for social and intellectual isolation; to the point that you start to discriminate you and impeding yourself from adequately behave and function in public places.
Hiatal hernia and heartburn. There is a valve that sits on the top of your stomach -the lower esophageal sphincter- that suffers the disturbing effects of surplus weight. Your excessive flab weakens and overloads the esophageal sphincter to the point that it opens spontaneously when it shouldn’t and stays open for irregular periods of time. Also, the sphincter will not close properly and your semi-digested stomach stuffing will come up into your esophagus. Yuck! So the acid from your stomach will cause your esophagus to experience gastroesophageal reflux, and "heartburn", and this can lead to more complicated health ramifications to include esophageal cancer.
High blood pressure and Heart disease. Your heart will not operate correctly when the body is hauling around excessive weight. So you might get, without further delays, a wonderful hypertension (high blood pressure), which will lead to fatal strokes and will damage your heart and may mutilate the normal function of your unsuspecting kidneys.
Infertility. Infertility is your biological inability to contribute to conception or fecundation. This extreme condition is equally distressful for men and women. Obesity inflicts devastating damage to hormonal natural performance functions and execution purposes. It put an end to normal sexual activities, leading to the inability to conceive, with a gamma of consequential moral and psychological impairments.
Menstrual irregularities. Sometimes women have problems in their menstrual cycle. These problems are called menstrual irregularities or simply, menstrual problems. Woman affected by these conditions may not get periods, get irregular sequential periods, get periods too frequently, have unpredictable menstrual bleeding, or they may have painful periods. Normally when this conditions are not produced by pregnancy’s inherent effects, menstrual irregularities are by and large a sign of a deeper overall health circumstances or problem. Among these deeper overall health circumstances is morbid obesity.
Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints. When your unfairly abused joints carry your bonus weight, specially your knees and hips, it will bring them terrible wear and tear, along with uncomfortable pain and distressing inflammation. Because of this your back gets an invitation to join the party. Imposed strain on bones and muscles of your back will turn to irreversible disk problems, constant pain, and a considerable mobility reduction for you.
Sleep apnea and Respiratory problems. Doctors and researches have told us over and over that the weight of the unchecked fat accumulation in your neck and in your tongue will begin to acutely obstruct your air intake, especially if you sleep on your backs. The musical contribution to this will be your lovely snoring. You will lose sleep, and besides having daytime drowsiness and headaches, you will be drained and unfocused.
Type-2 Diabetes. Obesity quickly turns you resistant to insulin, which regulates your blood sugar concentration levels. Unregulated sugar levels provoke high blood sugar content, which causes Type-2 diabetes. This is the most common form of diabetes, in which either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is absolutely necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. Without the proper provision of insulin, your cells may be starved for energy at once, and over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt your eyesight, kidneys functions, nerve system, or heart.
Urinary stress incontinence. A weakening and deteriorating effect of the urethral valves of the bladder it is a direct consequence of sagging abdomens. Outsized and flabby abdomens weaken ominously pelvic muscles, creating a lack of performance side-effect of the valves which results in urine leakages when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or screaming. The visual and patent effects of these leaks contribute to depression, self esteem deterioration, and other issues.
In the U.S. obesity rate is on the rise at a quick pace, but the proliferation rate of extreme, morbid obesity is developing three times faster, as studies show.
CHILE
In the South American country of Chile, the results of a Government's National Health Survey in 2003 showed that the index on population for overweight individuals was 37.8%, on the population segment for non-morbid obesity was 21.9%, and the index for the morbid obesity portion was 1.3%. Obesity occurrence was notably higher among people with a lower educational level, at a dreadful ratio of 1 to 5, and the occurrence of morbid obesity was six times higher in the low socioeconomic stratus.
Detrimental comorbidities inherent to obesity conditions are also prevalent among the Chilean population. Another serious social condition that increases the risk and attainment of obesity is the predominance of a sedentary lifestyle among Chileans. The soaring sedentary habits of Chileans are extremely high, accounting for the 89.4% of the country’s inhabitants. In Chile today, there are more than 200,000 individuals suffering morbid obesity, the study shows. Since most of these cases are amid the low end of the socio-economic and educational stratus, a great number of these individuals are suffering the disease consequences, and are in great need of expensive health care, which renders these services for them, unaffordable.
Preliminary clinical data from the program for Surgical Treatment of Obesity managed and lead by the Clinical Hospital of the Catholic University of Chile, made available results showing an epidemic predominance of cardiovascular risk factors. This statistics were obtained from a sample population among young obese subjects with an average age of 37. In many cases, a single individual exhibited two or more risk factors, and 10% of the tested population was ranked as a high global cardiovascular risk, according to the Framingham Risk Score (the Framingham risk score identifies patients at increased cardiovascular risk, and helps determine the need for preventive interventions).
Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery is also known as weight loss surgery, and the name it is associated to an assortment of surgical procedures executed to contend with obesity. These procedures deal with the modification of the size of the gastrointestinal tract, hence to reduce food quantity intake. For obese individuals who have been powerless to implement a drastic and permanent change in lifestyle in order to achieve a significant weight loss through diet and exercise, bariatric surgery may be an option to obtain a substantial weight loss.
Mounting evidence clearly shows that non-surgical treatment of subjects with severe or morbid obesity is insufficient anywhere in the world today, including in Chile. As an added benefit, bariatric surgery is linked to an 89% reduction in the risk of death as well as an 82% of preventive reduction in cardiovascular disease for morbidly obese patients. Since 2000, bariatric surgery services in Chile are undergoing a sustained increase. Mexico and the United States show a similar situation.
Some statistics on Morbid Obesity
The statistics depicted below can not be completely verified since the available information differs tremendously from source to source. The stats were gathered from public information places and from publically available medical studies over time, so some values might be inexact or outdated. However, these statistics are intended to give you a general idea and perspective of the problem.

• Some 25% are completely sedentary
• There has been a 76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 years old since 1990
Obesity Related Diseases:
• 80% of type II diabetes is related to obesity
• 70% of cardiovascular diseases are related to obesity

• Whereas 4% of Childhood diabetes was type II in 1990, that number has risen to approximately 20%
• Depending on the age group (Type II most frequent 10-19 group) and the racial/ethnic make up of the group stated of children diagnosed with Type II diabetes, 85% are obese
Miscellaneous
A study linking morbid obesity and depression that appeared in the American Journal of Epidemiology denotes people who suffer from morbid obesity, are at least five times more predisposed to become depressed than those who are not. This puts people who are morbidly obese are at a very high risk for suicide.
Persons who are subject to morbid obesity, in addition of having to deal with the extra weight and unattractive aesthetics of their bodies, they also have to deal with the pitiless and emotionally taxing social stigma coupled with obesity, mayor contributors to the onset of depression.
ScienceDaily (Sep. 3, 2006 – Extract) — University of Florida researchers have discovered a link between morbid obesity in toddlers and lower IQ scores, cognitive delays and brain lesions similar to those seen in Alzheimer's disease patients, a new study shows.
Although the cause of these cognitive impairments is still unknown, University of Florida researchers suspect the metabolic disturbances obesity causes could be taking a toll on young brains, which are still developing and not fully protected, they write in an article published in the Journal of Pediatrics "Now, we're postulating that early-onset morbid obesity and these metabolic, biochemical problems can also lead to cognitive impairment."
A Word of Caution
In the present day, obesity has developed itself into the public enemy number one, and the main health threat issue in the United States. Researches have shown us overwhelming amounts of evidence supporting findings that puts obesity and morbid obesity, as an important cause of preventable death in the United States, closely following behind tobacco consumption.
According to the National Institute of Health, more than 300,000 deaths per year are rooted on obesity.
So, do you know that cute fat kid next door? You might never look at him again the same way…
Weight Inhibition Composite (WIC Compound)
A few years ago I lost a very dear friend to and unorthodox enemy: weight. The idea to lose someone to weight was not a conforming sentiment in my existence. When my friend died, I immediately felt that something was very ludicrous and unreasonable in the way this was presenting itself, something even insulting and perhaps ignominious about dying in such nonsensical manner. Perhaps because I went into deep denial at the time, this unexpected demise did not seem logical or acceptable to me; I felt that it was just plain unfair.
Everyone who attended the funeral was visibly sad and shocked because my friend was very young, but even more than that, because he was a phenomenal loving person and now he was gone forever. I really felt my friend loss, but I was not sad, I was intensely distressed and infuriated, and I couldn’t dissimulate it very well.
I returned home that afternoon absorbed in my thoughts, confused and annoyed by this incongruous episode that shook the very roots of my existence. How can you explain and accept a loss of that magnitude to such ridiculous death? Perhaps was not that ridiculous after all… I never before looked overweight people any differently that I looked anyone else. They were just “fat” people. Just like me, only fat. There is a popular Chilean aphorism that goes: “There is no bald guy that is not deceitful or fat guy that is not winsome”. Of course this aphorism is of very confined naissance, based on a very specific local event, and it is not fair at all to any bald folks. However, it is of very common use in Chile, and it is always used to enhance the fat guy’s benignity, with extremely few exceptions.
Shortly after I learned that my friend died from complication sequels of morbid obesity. I did not know what morbid obesity was then, so I set out in a quest to gain knowledge about it, perhaps obeying to a borderline necessity to conform myself with my friend’s death.
“El guatón” –another folkloric Chilean aphorism– as we all affectionately called him was an extraordinary subject. A group of us grew up together and we were inseparable comrades of adventures, troublemaker buddies, candid friends, and “el guatón” was one more insurrectionist in our tight wolf pack. He took blame for crap we did as many times we took crap for things he did. He was always ready to defend his pack, and the first to run away to hide when we deliver pranks, because he needed more time than us to escape, and he always stood up for his friends like no one else, no matter what. He was the squire or the sidekick, whichever came first when it was his turn. Seen him to go the way he did, it wounded all of us. All these treasured recollections and many more contributed to cement the eminent and uplifting memories we have of him, and the sincere love we all profess for our beloved “guatón”.
His death and the way he died lingered in my mind for several years unsettled. After my fact findings about obesity, I understood morbid obesity better and since then, I always wanted to unearth a remedy to prevent others from ending like our friend. Many, many years later I found an answer to foster a solution. It will not make any difference to my friend now, but it is a heartily earned tribute on behalf of all of us, your infancy friends, to you “guatón”.
The problem
There are many ways to approach the task of losing weight, and there are also many ambiguous practices to abide by in pursue of the goal of getting skinnier, however, there are only two effective and pragmatic ways to lose unwanted, unhealthy weight. One is the imperative need for you to cut down drastically your energy intake in a constant and steady manner, or you must increase to a great extent your energy burning up habits (AKA: exercise!) also in a constant and steady manner. Unfortunately for an obese person, these solutions are utopic and completely unrealistic due to the fact that obesity is a serious clinical sickness that overwhelms the will power of its victims.
If you are not already exercising or embracing ruthlessly one of these two options, chances are that you will never do! Do not feel bad about this, most obese people are unable to do so, as matter of fact, most people are unable to execute a change in their life habits in such drastic manner. However, if you for whatever reason can not accommodate to your lifestyle one of these extreme and abrupt behaviors, then the solution I have engineered might help you to implement a smooth transition to one, or both of those alternative lifestyles.
I developed a natural appetite curbing biomass compound that helps to achieve results, and ameliorate appetite control within healthy, safe, and sound levels. This new concept on natural weight loss does work as results have demonstrated to me in controlled practical tests with obese subjects who volunteer for these tests. The results were often dramatic and this natural vegetation filament-based compound is much safer than most pharmaceutical weight loss drugs today available by prescription, o in the market over the counter.
The product
I call my product Weight Inhibition Composite (WIC for short). I thought naming the product “Guatón”, but I quickly discarded this bright idea because it could lend itself to be misinterpreted by some, and it might be judged insulting for others. If there is something I will never want to do, not even by mistake, is to offend anyone who is being pitilessly victimized by obesity.
WIC is a weight loss problem-solving solution that was engineered to become a natural process of, and work in synchronization with the body, and because of its constitutive composition it works naturally, without the need for drugs and/or any detrimental chemicals, and its controlled consumption conducts to a steady progression of weight loss in a healthy and safe manner, with no negative health side effects, without creating dependency, or habit conditioning.
I can’t tell exactly how WIC is marshaled and composed until I have a final formulation, and a proper patent to protect it from the amazing quantity of mendacious intellectual predators that are omnipresent everywhere, and always around sniffing for what to steal. Nevertheless, I can tell you without the compelling need to slaughter anyone that WIC contains no added caffeine, pyruvate, ephedra, ephedrine alkaloids, synephrine, hormones, guarana, ginseng, any invigorating or sneaky amino acids, or any perky stimulants of any kind. WIC comes in different modes for its use: as pills, as food additive, as drink additive, as power snacks, as paste (spread), in pellet form, as powder, and as candy with a dash of Agave honey.
As of today and while still under development, WIC in fact offers many health benefits which other drugs and weight loss products lack profusely, and delivers a faster and more effective weight loss bottom line than any product in the market. I can tell a bit more without risking anyone’s security: the pill is also made out of an assortment of natural fibers, plant extracts, and an strict selection of bio-composite from elite members of multifarious plants’ genuses, vitamins and a restricted number of other crops of nutritional organic compounds.
How does it work?
When you ingest the WIC in any manifestation of the aforementioned morphs, after a few minutes the product will produce on you the sensation of being with a stuffed stomach. You will feel like you just had a fest and you can’t gobble one more bite. You will feel like you are filled with food up to your throat and you will keep feeling this way for several hours (I am still working on the dosage, though). The microfibers and the other secret components from my magic cauldron will start to absorb large quantities of humidity (water) from within your body, and because of its reverse body hydration, the fibers will start to timely distend and to gain volume in the process.
This singularity will bring about a very slow-paced digestion of the multi-fiber amalgamation that will last for several hours. This slow digestion obeys to the difficulty of the stomach in processing the fibers because of their sturdiness. No detail studies have been made yet to determine if any acidic effects in the stomach may occur, but I am working on it. Another effect this compound will bring about is that the “patient” will quickly lose his/her desire to eat, mainly because the stomach is filled with die hard fiber.
This composite can start rendering visible and measurable results in a short term, but I think that a long term program will be safer and with no attached negative, unexpected side-effects. Loosing too much weight too fast can be detrimental to any individual’s health integrity.
There are positive side-effects, though! You will have to drink A LOT of water because WIC will make you severely thirsty, and the elevated microfiber content will make your bowel functions very regular, adding humidity and softness to the stool. So stack up on toilet paper!
What is next?
I promise to continue relentlessly in the pursue of my work, and to champion for the legions of frustrated overweight people engaged in a never-ending search for a fast weight loss gimmick, for the miraculous weight defeating enchantment, or any type of invention that works for them and their health, and hopefully I can soon deliver a virtuous solution, safe and dignifying.
This one is for you “guatón”.
