Introduction

Have you ever worked out what your weight problem is about?

1. Were you ever told to EAT EVERYTHING ON YOUR PLATE? If you were, there is a good chance that you have no idea what "appetite" means, or whether you are "full" or not.
2. Do you know that you cannot win the "battle of the bulge" when your diet is motivated by self-hatred and self-loathing? You have used food as a sedation for these feelings, and you will do it again.
3. Do you know whether you eat because you are hungry, or because you are depressed, bored or hurt?
4. How many kilograms have you lost and regained? Has it ever occurred to you that you may be afraid of being slim and comfortable, if not happy, with being overweight?
5. Do you remember being bribed with an ice cream after going to the dentist? And do you know that it is those memories which determine your relationship with food today.

Do you know that staying slim is about accepting yourself and taking charge of your dreams? It's about having relationships with people instead of food. Losing weight is about MOTIVATION, goals, the way you see yourself and accepting the way you will be.

What is cellulite?
Alternative medical terms -

1. Panniculosis
2. Liposclerosis (orange peel skin)

Cellulite occurs after puberty. There is evidence that indicates the possibility that this could be hereditary.
Cellulite is caused by a tissue transformation. Normal cell tissue is transformed into a gelatinous substance which is composed of fluid, waste matter and fat particles, thus the fibrous tissue grows denser. The microscopic examination of biopsies show oedema (watery fluid accumulations) and the alteration of fatty cell shapes.
Cellulite is not merely a roll of fat, connective lymph drainage and passive therapy is required to disperse the cellulite areas.

What is connective and lymph drainage therapy?
Drainage of the intercellular fluid reducing the fat particles trapped in water.

How do you achieve this drainage?
PATRICIA CLARKE gel with faradic treatment and G5 Vibro massage incorporating our Body Wrap and our anti cellulite pants acting in synergy to create a guaranteed centimeter loss.

CELLULITE IS NOT A FORM OF OBESITY, it is a connective tissue condition.

These may be related to several factors :

1. Primary improper diet
2. Hormonal abnormalities
3. Use of birth control pills
4. Pregnancy
5. Menopause
6. Spine malfunction
7. Liver malfunction
8. Intestinal constipation
9. Alterations in blood and lymph circulation
10. Thyroid malfunction
11. Panceatitis
12. Diabetes
13. Cardio vascular implications
14. Varicose veins

Whilst ordinary obesity is a generalized condition, Cellulite is localized most often in specific areas such as buttocks, thighs, around the knee, abdomen, top of the arms etc.
Cellulite is usually accompanied by an excess of fatty tissue but this is not always the case. Often our slim, trim even underweight women will exhibit orange peel skin.
Cellulite does not occur in the intramuscularly fat tissue, but in the layer of fat just below the skin, the subcutaneous or adipose fat layer. Even dramatically underweight persons such as Anorexia Nervosa have a thin fat layer under their skin. This adipose fat layer acts as an insulating blanket over our bodies preventing loss of body heat.
Only in recent years has this adipose fat layer been recognized as important as other major organs.

STAGES OF CELLULITE

First stage - flab

There are few apparent signs, in some cases the skin might feel like dough but there is no pain. The microscopic examination shows oedema (watery fluid accumulations) and alteration of the fatty cell shapes and of the cell units. This is a indication of the beginning of the metabolic alteration in the subcutaneous fat layer.

Second stage - flab (the beginning of orange peel skin)

The skin feels doughy, indicating oedema of the subcutaneous fat layer and in some cases, pressure with the finger tips leaves marks which represent oedema of the dermis level. Under the microscope interlocking fibres are present.

Third stage - "orange peel" more advanced

Pinching and manipulation of the skin causes dull pain, modules are not detected under the microscope, micro nodules are seen.

Fourth stage - "orange peel" and nodules are visible

Painful skin, (sometimes untouched) and micro nodules or plaques with or without oedema. The microscope reveals encapsulated nodules and hardening of the connective tissue. The cellular activity in the adipose fat layer is very intense and sophisticated, Its relationship with blood and lymph circulation is of the utmost importance for general metabolism. Subcutaneous or adipose fatty tissue equals problem area.

Where does the intercellular waste go?
It is absorbed by the lymphatic system. The system has an abundant blood supply provided by a complex network of capillaries. Micro arterial capillaries bring in oxygen, venous capillaries carry away depleted blood, and lymphatic vessels take the lymph to be added to the venous blood circulation and excreted through the kidney and urinary tract. However, the fat does not sit still until needed, as previously believed, but rather goes through a very dynamic and ongoing process. The fat breaks down (hydrolyses) its pieces (fatty acids and glycerol) move out the cells, and other pieces come in to reconstitute fats. It is a very active in and out traffic of fatty acids, glycerin and lipo proteins and the entire activity is promoted by enzymes (lipase, cyclic 3.5 amp insulin etc.)

What is Gel and Wrap?

1. Its success is dew to the properly formulated suspension of specially selected elements and plant extracts which compliment each other and act in synergy to bring about 18-80 centimeter loss in 90 minutes. The gel contains 27 different plant extracts with strengthening, diuretic and stabilizing properties.
2. It combines liposomes with these strengthening and diuretic properties which stabilize and maintain the contours of the body helping to avoid a spongy appearance.
3. It strengthens the tissues and inner organs.
4. It breaks down fatty tissue by means of absorption by the lymph duct so that the unwanted fatty tissue finally passes out through the body.

The plant extract ingredients are specially formulated so that in combination, the joint properties have a extremely high effect on the toxins in the adipose fatty tissue.
