Sleep Junkie

I just complete six sessions with the Zerona laser and the only inches I lost were from my wallet. This $3,000 scam needs to be exposed and the public warned. Whether the treatment doesn’t work for 5% of the people or 45% of the people who undergo this rip-off scam of a procedure has yet to be determined.

Like a lot of other people I saw an advertisement in my local paper then searched the web to learn more about this weight loss, body contouring laser treatment. I now realize shows like The Doctors, Rachael Ray and even local news programs are not so much information programs as much as an entertainment venue and that they were just acting like giddy school girls and company shrews for the Zerona laser without ever looking into whether this works for everyone like they promoted for fat loss and weight loss.

After my first three sessions I was getting depressed and disappointed because I didn’t see any results and my clothes were all fitting just the same. I told this to the person who was performing the treatments and she blamed me and asked what I was doing wrong. It seems to me the only thing she really knew about the laser treatments was what the Zerona salesperson told her.

I felt like there was something wrong with me as it seems like everyone else was getting remarkable results. I went to the My Zerona web site and filled out their contact us form and asked whether they knew of any cases where their laser treatment didn’t work.  Guess what. I never heard from them.

People in this body contouring field can get a Zerona laser at no cost. I’m not privy to the contract deals, but it seems to me that if they are going to give away a machine that costs several hundred thousand dollars they are probably getting a good percentage of the fee that’s being charged.

A major red flag is that there isn’t any test you can undergo before hand to determine whether the Zerona laser will work or not on you other than if your credit card goes through. And if the Zerona laser doesn’t work, you also won’t get a dime back.

I’ve lost sleep because I feel I was taken by this Zerona laser rip-off scam and a fool for the wishful thinking that there was finally a non invasive procedure for fat loss and weight loss.

Did the Zerona laser not work for you? Leave your comment below. I feel that for every person that got nothing for their money I hope this post should put a dint in the Zerona bottom line by stopping a thousand others from being taken by this Zerona laser scam.

I’m off to scarf down a large pizza and a six pack.

Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith and Elvis are all dead because they abused prescription drugs and frequently used them for no therapeutic use. There is often a notice in the paper about their death that there were no illegal drugs found in their system. Well if you were shooting heroin, popping prescription pills or had a piano fall on your head, you’re still dead. At least the heroin junkie is found dead of a heroin overdose and the piano was an unfortunate accident, unless it was preceded with “Hey, Bubba, watch this.”  But the dead celebrity if often found with a cocktail of half a dozen or more “legal” drugs in their system.

Some drugs taken together can have a toxic effect, sometimes they interact by reducing the effectiveness of each other so neither one is working very well. What can happen with taking multiple prescription drugs is that there can be an additive effect when they’re taken together where their combined strength is multiplied, like where two plus two equals nine.

These celebrities suffered from insomnia. But instead of naturally treating their problem they often made it worse by self-medicating themselves and unfortunately died from combined drug intoxication.

More people are dying from overdoses caused by the abuse of prescription medicine than from traditional street drugs and there is no shortage of doctors to be the new drug pushers. Some celebrities are surrounded by an inner circle of hanger-on parasites and some doctors get a thrill being part of the group. They want to impress their friends by claiming to be some celebrity’s doctor, but they’re just on-call with their prescription pads.

Did Anne Nicole Smith need thousands of pills? Did Heath and Elvis need several painkillers and sleep aids? Why did Michael Jackson feel that the only way he could get to sleep was to use the surgical anaesthetic propofol?

People look up to celebrities and sometimes follow their lead. It’s too bad that you only hear about their screw ups. Maybe we need a tabloid headline that reads, “Celebrity Slept for 8 Hours and Woke up Refreshed.” Then again, maybe most celebrity reporters and paparazzi should be thrown in jail for stalking.

The hazards of not getting a good night’s sleep include:

1. Increased stress, obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, memory loss, attention problems, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and mood disorders. And that’s just on a good day
2. Depression, which is a sad thing to have
3. Poor sleepers tend to smoke and drink more which compounds their health problems
4. You get sick more often and it tends to last longer. Your depressed immune system attracts bugs faster than a bowl of fruit at grandma’s house
5. You have a poor quality of life.  Trudging through the day with the only expectation that you’ll be doing all again tomorrow
6. Elderly people who sleep poorly suffer more falls which is a leading cause of death and carpet cleaning
7. Increase cancer rates and drug company profits

The benefits of a good night’s sleep include:

1. You can live longer. More hills to climb, more smiles to give away and more cows to tip
2. About eights hours of sleep each night can help you lose weight. This is eight hours of sleep time, not just in bed time.  It’s sure better than the watermelon or liver and onions diet
3. You have fewer colds because you have a stronger immune system, but only you’ll know this so you can still call in sick to work when the season opens
4. Students do better at school. This is because their heads are upright and the information has a good chance at entering an orifice and contacting a few brain cells as opposed to bouncing off the top of a head lying on a desk
5. You’ll feel marvellous. You’re mentally and physically refreshed and your mood is elevated as you laugh at the other poor saps that are dragging their butts around the office
6. You are more calm and relaxed
7. Your brain can remember new information better so you can be smarter than your dog and lawn mower combined
