You know, that may sound stupid, but people are always suggesting that hugely fat people "just stop eating" as if that wouldn't gently caress their bodies up. (Your body stores calories efficiently in fat; micronutrients not so much.)

I assume that the letter-writer had received that brilliant advice. Fortunately he or she at least had the sense to check with an actual doctor, even a newspaper doctor.

No one has ever suggested that a fat person should stop literally intaking any food until they become thin.

In 1965 a man suggested he do this to himself. He dropped from 486 lbs to 180 lbs.

Absolutely they do. Not anyone with a brain cell to spare, but you see it all the time in the idiotariat. And then there's this delightful variation.



Yes, under medical supervision. You can't just wing it.

Even under medical supervision, there were sudden deaths during the brief time that medically supervised starvation was advocated as a treatment for obesity. This article discusses one possible explanation. A contemporary look at complications.

By the mid-70s, "therapeutic starvation" had given way to medically supervised very low calorie diets, usually supplemented by micronutrients. These absolutely can be successful for highly motivated people.

not sure about boiling drunk sanitary pads (which would literally remove any last drop of alcohol if even any had made it through the digestive tract) also there used to be a joke in my country about soaking a tampon in pure alcohol and then jamming it in your rear end.

i was later told that sockless rubber boots full of booze were more effective because of the thin skin between your toes

jeez, really... my soution is maybe just drink it idk

For those of us who don't know what DMSO is this is what Wikipedia has to say

quote:

Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when an Oregon Health & Science University Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system.

If you read the article, they are basically getting high of the chlorine in the pads used to keep them sterile. Thus the World War One comment.

I always did like the smell of a swimming pool.

Well, most of them. Saltwater swimming pools are a thing. They're quite nice.

The characteristic smell of a swimming pool isn’t chlorine itself. You’re smelling the chloramines created when chlorine reacts with urine, sweat, and some other things.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
