Elhashemy's Satiety Spot Simulator ... A Revolutionary Weight Loss Device
Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elhashemy
September 30, 2008
Consider the following facts:
1. Obesity epidemic is soaring allover the world.
2. Humans eat not only to satisfy their hunger, but also because of social pressure, tension, boredom, and bad lifestyle habits.
3. Dieting and other lifestyle changes can only lead to mild weight loss, even worse it is hard to maintain.
4. Stomach surgery is currently the only effective treatment for obesity, and it may lead to loss of 30% of original weight within 2 years.
5. Stomach surgery although risky, cost the world billions of dollars each year.
6. At least US$ 40 billions are the yearly costs of managing such obesity in USA alone.
7. Gastric fundus is becoming the spotlight of the scientists for deleting hunger or boosting satiety.
Based on the above facts, I developed an idea for Gastric Satiety Simulator, to support obese patients following my innovated Luqaimat Diet Plan.
Elhashemy's Broad Spectrum Luqaimat Diet Plan is a comprehensive strategy that employs specific food types of micro-sized meals (Luqaimat in Arabic language) to induce different biological and psychological responses, with the purpose of obtaining ideal body weight and maintaining it for life. The plan is named Broad Spectrum because it consists of several factors.
One of these factors I postulated is that the stomach fundus contains a satiety spot due to the presence of abundant vagal innervations which is situated within that area, which I named: Elhashemy's Stomach Satiety Spot "ESSS".
Many scientists have been convinced that satiety may be reached through blocking Ghrelin hormone secretion. My postulation suggests the presence of another effective approach to reach such satiety, through stimulating vagal nerve fibers of the Stomach Satiety Spot. I will elaborate hereunder on how I employed both approaches in my innovated Scientific Luqaimat Diet Plan.
A. Blocking Ghrelin Hormone Secretion:
Ghrelin is widely believed to be the most powerful appetite stimulator discovered up till now. First, it activates the feeling of hunger through its effect on the Ghrelin receptors at the hypothalamus. Secondly, it boosts the visual cues through action on the brain reward centers.
I found a practical clinical solution for blocking Ghrelin hormone. This solution depends on the intake of frequent daily Luqaimat-meals (Luqaimat Scientific diet plan as innovated by me in 2005); it proved very successful, to the degree that most of my patients lost average of 30% of their original weights in one and a half years. These results are unprecedented in the field of weight management.
In 2008, I started to advise my patients to frequently eat Luqaimat NUTPISTELLA as a therapy that I believe have even a stronger blocking effect on Ghrelin hunger hormone.
NUTPISTELLA is one of my scientific innovated ideas (2008) based on the fact that grinded pistachios when added to Nutella can give many healthful advantages to NUTELLA, including:
1. Reduction of intestinal absorption of fats present in Nutella.
2. Richness in antioxidants such as Lutein, beta-carotene, and tochopherol, which has an anti-inflammatory dieting effect.
3. Lowering Nutella's glycemic index through its high content of proteins, and fibers, hence inducing early satiety.
B. Stimulating Satiety Spot:
I believe that gastric fundus is an important and long neglected satiety area. In June 27th, 2008, I published my theory on American Chronicle website. This theory entails that there should be a spot somewhere at the fundus of the stomach which if hit by small volume solid food will lead to non-expansion of the stomach, hence less accommodation for food and if this occurred frequently will result in long lasting satiety sensation and hence to great weight loss. Hundreds of my obese patients tried Luqaimat nuts (5 pieces) several times daily with the purpose of hitting that assumed area and they achieved greater weight loss than those applying the ordinary Luqaimat diet plan.
I am sure that if obese patients saw that area being hit in the virtual stomach satiety spot simulator, they will be more impressed by what they are doing and greater sensation of satiety will result, hence greater weight loss.
Around 90% of Ghrelin hormone is secreted at the fundus. On the other hand, the fundus is richly innervated by the vagal afferents, which are sensitive to distension of the stomach. The stomach is surrounded by parasympathetic (stimulant) and orthosympathetic (inhibitor) plexuses which regulate both the secretory activity and the motor activity of the muscles. The function of the highly arborizing intramyenteric vagal afferent endings is not known. I suggest that they may be collaterals of intramuscular tension receptors that send early satiety impulses to brain satiety centers.
In humans, the stomach has a volume of about 50 ml when empty. After a meal, it generally expands to hold about 1 liter of food, but it can actually expand to hold as much as 4 liters.
Accordingly, stimulation of "ESSS" may cause boosting satiety vagal afferents. This might be more effective in weight loss than suppression of Ghrelin hormone, because it acts immediately on the gastric musculature through a local nerve reflex arch.
Here comes the work of the invited simulator manufacturer:
Based on my extensive clinical studies, I have reached a scientific idea to develop a device that I named "THE SATIETY SPOT SIMULATOR". I think that it may be more impressive for obese people to lose weight when they train on such simulator for several sessions. This will be of great value in assisting millions of obese people allover the world in losing weight in an unprecedented manner. In the meantime, it will give multiple billion dollars return for the manufacturer.
I established my idea based on the scientific psychological studies that found strong link between the pictures of throat cancer that appear on cigarette packets and lower levels of smoking among millions of smokers. Accordingly, I deduced that we can create a link between frequent exposure of obese patients to the virtual satiety spot simulator and the occurrence of the satiety state.
Since researchers found that greatest impact on attitudes and behavior results when people found that their peers are listening and responding to the same messages, I think that greater effect will result through group sessions attending the Satiety Spot Simulator.
I had excellent results concerning this last point in the last 4 years, where hundreds of obese patients lost weight easier when trained in groups on my standard innovated Luqaimat diet plan.
The device (SATIETY SPOT SIMULATOR) may help sticking in the mind of obese patients the action of Luqaimat nuts on the fundus. So, they may feel after few weeks of training, that their stomach is satiated easily with any small meal. I will discuss in details my idea with the interested manufacturer.
I am looking forward to cooperate with a reputable medical equipment manufacturer such as: Immersion, WII, Sony, Tanita, Omron, or others, in order to manufacture my innovated ELHASHEMY'S SATIETY SPOT SIMULATOR on broad commercial basis. I am confident that my device will revolutionize the weight loss management especially for extremely obese people, as I expect its results to surpass the results obtained by bariatric surgery.
