The old website is more oriented toward patients and people unfamiliar with blogging. If you don't know about phen-pro, the safe effective treatment for obesity, you may go to the old website for a more traditional introduction to the subject, although most info can be found by clicking on the buttons at the left.

Afterwards, please return to this site often to join the national conversation on the best way to deal with the country's number #1 problem, obesity. Any honest question or comment on any aspect of obesity is welcome.
