THE J CAPS

Since the feature story about the work that I do came out in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, hundreds of inquiries have flooded my inbox. I put up this blog to answer those questions.

First of all, let me emphasize that the story in PDI was the personal experience of the author. I cannot guarantee the same effects for all patients.

Kitchen medicine

The contents of J Caps, aside from the turmeric and cayenne, are all natural and local ingredients. If you love to cook, I can probably make J Caps from the herbs in your kitchen. There are no preservatives or any other chemicals added. The initial formulation was really a tea but for convenience, I converted the formula into capsules.

It is generally safe for everyone but I definitely would like to see the patient first if there are other existing medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes, asthma, etc. Special precautions for the very young (below 12) and the elderly (above 70).

Clean body, healthy liver, better fat metabolism, better weight loss

Though J Caps was formulated for weight loss, it is really more of a detoxifying than a slimming formula. The approach is holistic and the weight loss is really just a bonus. It works on the premise that a clean body will do its functions better, fat burning included. The liver is the key organ in the metabolism of fats. A healthier liver burns fats better.

Not just a diet capsule

The liver is also the main organ responsible for processing all the toxins we put in our body (from processed food, synthetic drugs, contaminants, pollution, etc). J Caps has been formulated with the goal in mind of cleansing and supporting the liver. Since a lot of illnesses stem from the accumulation of toxins in the body, cleansing the liver and facilitating elimination of toxins help improve other functions like sleep regulation, bowel movement, energy production, tissue repair, appetite regulation, etc.

When your body is cleansed, it works better and begins the task of trying to bring itself back to its healthiest possible form. Your body is very smart and it will prioritize the most pressing health problems first.

There is a possibility that weight loss will not be seen at first. If this is the case, it means the body is working on other more important health issues like tissue repair, hormonal balance, boosting the immune system, etc. This is usually the case for those who are not really overweight. There is also the possibility that the appetite will increase while taking the J Caps. When this happens, it means that the body can now recognize that it lacks the essential nutrients so it tells you to eat in the hope that you can get the the right nutrients. This may work against those patients who are trying to lose weight but you can use this to your advantage. When your appetite goes up, just eat more fruits and vegetables instead of junk or other unhealthy food.

Complex problem

The J Caps is not mass produced and not available in the market because I do not want people to be dependent on supplements. Weight loss involves a lot of factors. I want people to understand the broad aspect of why they gain weight (and why it's so hard to lose them) by discussing the interplay of  eating habits, exercise, stress, mindset, and a lot of other factors. Just taking the J Caps for weight loss is bound to fail and will just be a part of the statistics of failed weight loss regimens and fad diets. I will make a lot of money if I start selling the J Caps in the market but I will not be able to help you.

Not for the general public

I regret to inform you that at this time, mainly because of the limited supply, J Caps is only available for my patients. As for the other reasons, I have explained them above.

Home Detox

The Home Detox is recommended when there is a need for it as determined in the consultation. There are several home detox methods and it is very important that you use only what is needed and what is appropriate for your condition.

Taking action

For those people who are serious about weight loss and who want to take charge of their health, I suggest that you come to me for consultation first so we can discuss your personal circumstances and I can make a holistic and comprehensive program for you, not just for your weight but also for your health in general.

For patients outside Manila, I can do online consultations to accommodate you on a case-to-case basis. Just send me thru email a detailed account of your health concerns -- age, height, weight, existing medical conditions if any, medical history, eating habits, exercise, stressors, sleeping patterns and other things you think might be helpful for me to have a fair assessment of your current health status. Please include your health goals, this is very important. From there, I will make recommendations. Professional fee may be coursed through paypal (details to follow).
