The Truth About Slimming Pills (Featured on FAILON NGAYON)


Hi guys! I just want to share one of my most remarkable and memorable blog posts ever.



When Multiply was still hot, I was already blogging in this site through my account. One of the best things I wrote (although not the best, grammatically, as I was LITERALLY not editing and backreading my posts) was a lengthy, personal account on Chinese Slimming Pills. (Zhen De Shou, Ballerina, Happy Slim, ring a bell?) Brief intro, I have used these pills way back in 2007, and one of my beloved ninangs died because of these pills in the same year. You'll find out more when you read the actual post.

And so I wrote this post in 2007 as my way of thanking the Lord for sparing me. I could've died 5 years ago, but instead, my ninang's life was sacrificed. I've spent a week writing this post because I had to do A LOT of research on these pills, plus I had to look up personal stories that are similar to mine in the internet.

In 2009, this post has been featured in the International Size Acceptance blog, a T.V. show in NBN 4, (where I was interviewed as well) and was republished numerously by many people in their own blogs and social networking accounts. I made it a point to encourage each and every person who cared to ask and leave a comment on the blog post to share it on their online accounts, and with their families, children, and friends. I didn't care about the fame and visits--All I wanted is to educate people about the hazards posed by these cheap slimming pills, and that the best way to lose weight is through proper diet and exercise.

And yesterday, this post has landed me an interview for FAILON NGAYON. Ted Failon, one of my favorite T.V. broadcasters did an episode on cheap viagras, slimming pills, whitening pills, etc. The episode will be aired later on ABS-CBN channel 2, 5:00 P.M. Please do watch. :)

And I also encourage everyone to do the same: Share this story, (but please, give me due credit :D) and save the lives of those who are into these pills. And if you are using one, you are reading the right post.

Pardon the grammatical errors in the original post, and maybe this post. Like what I've said, I was never a fan of editing and backreading. And I'm too lazy to edit haha. I only selected the important chunks and reposted it here. :p

It's very long, but I encourage you to read it. Please click READ MORE.


'I Lost 30lbs. in a month. Now, I'm Dying!'- The Truth Behind The 'Truth'

BALLERINA, ZHEN DE SHOU, GOODLINESS, LIGHT SOME, MODELLING, BANGKOK, HAPPY SLIM, BLAH BLAH BLAH. ANO PA BA?

Shet. Ang daming diet pills. Nagkakatalo lahat. Andami ng ginawa't naimbento. But I've never tried something as EFFECTIVE as Ballerina and Zhen De Shou.

In Zhen De Shou, I lost 8 pounds in a week. Yung kinain ko from June- September, nawala ng one week nung october.

ANG SEXY KO!!

San ka pa diba? Exercise pa kayo diyan eh natulog at gumising lang ako ng isang linggo, payat na ako agad. diba?

Pero buti na lang hindi ako tumagal sa pagte- take nitong mga ito. Kung hindi hindi lang ako payat. PATAY pa ako.

Let's start:

ZHEN DE SHOU- This is a weight loss capsule. It promises to cut 10 pounds off your weighing scale in a matter of 7 days. Sounds interesting right?

Do I interest you now in buying a pack?

Wait until you get to the site that draws you into the pit. http://zhendeshou.net/

BALLERINA- Not anyone can become a ballerina, but you can achieve their beautiful fatless bodies with this pill. It's guaranteed to make you lose 20 pounds in a matter of 1 month (5 pounds in a week). Well, it ain't that long to achieving a ballerina body eh? Why don't you try it yourself? Not yet convinced? Check out their site and jump into the pit:

I've tried Zhen De Shou and I must say, it really worked. One week of taking Zhen De Shou was all I needed to get back to my good ol' slim body. It was selling like pancakes, and I had to stop taking it for a week because my supplier's supplier ran out of stocks.

A week without the pills was HELL: I have experienced BURNING pains in my stomach. And to alleviate the pain, I must eat so much food. And the result? I've doubled the weight I gained before I took the pills. A friend of mine who was taking the same pill has experienced the same thing as well. And mind you, these pains occur almost every hour! So imagine, I had to eat TOO MUCH food every single day!

Then I came across a friend who was once fat, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. She is so thin! According to her, she lost 15 lbs. in 1/ 12 months. I'm even fatter than her! I asked for her secret, and she gladly told me. She introduced me to her friend, BALLERINA: These are blue pills that look like expired laxatives. It came along with a diet plan, and I followed it religiously for 2 weeks. I was advised to pop a capsule 30 mins. before each meal. Eto na. Yung side effects: It will dry up your throat so bad, that you have to chug down gallons of water. And since water cleanses our intestines, the result is you'll have to take a crap often.

In a matter of 2 weeks, my craving for food has decreased, and my throat was always dry. (Which I didn't like but it doesn't matter! I'm losing weight!) Finally! I got the results I wanted! My BF has noticed that I have lost a considerable amount of pounds. YES!! Those irritating effects that I had to experience was well worth! In just a month, I was back to my tight fitting, daring, and belly- revealing clothes again!

MONDAY, 1:30 PM, CHOCOLATE KISS CAFE

I was having lunch with friends. As I was about to pop a Ballerina capsule prior to my meal, my phone rang. Mom was on the other line:

Mama: Tita ***** is dying. Stop taking those diet pills. We suspect that this caused her cancer.
Me: Shet??! When was she diagnosed with cancer?
Mama: A week ago. Na-diagnose siya, tapos binigyan ng gamot. Pagbalik for her treatment, stage 4 na daw cancer nya. Multiple organ failure na.
Me: Eh ilang stages ba ang cancer?
Mama: 4. Dasal na lang ang kailangan niya.
Me: Fuc*.
Mama: You better have your liver checked. You were taking these before di ba? You don't know, baka biglang lumabas effects niyan.
Me: Eh 1 week ako nung first brand, then 2 weeks nitong recent. So bale 3 weeks pa lang ako gumagamit.
Mama: Maski na. Baka mamaya may damage na palang na-inflict yan. Tapos kakalat. After some years, baka mamaya malaman mong mamamatay ka na pala. At gaga ka. tina-try mo pa lahat.
Me: Scary. When did she start taking the pills?
Mama: 3 years na.
Me: Anong brand?
Mama: Yung de su de su ata yun tsaka ballerina.
Me: Zhen de shou kasi.
Mama: Whatever.
Me: Eh ginawa na pala niyang snack yung gamot eh kaya pala.
Mama: She's following naman daw the instructions.
Me: Ow.
Mama: Tell your friends. And wag na wag ka nang bibili nito. Ever.
Me: Ok. Send my love to tita *****. I'll pray for her.

2:03 P.M.

Mama: A friend messaged me asking for a liver donor.
Me: Bakit daw?
Mama: May liver failure. She was using diet pills din. Ballerina daw.h
Me: Talaga? Gaano naman katagal ginamit?
Mama: 6 months. Tigilan mo na yan ha.
Me: Ok.

Right after hearing those terrible stories, I felt like I wanted to vomit all the pills I've taken. I ripped open a Ballerina capsule, and out came a greenish-brownish-blackish powder that smells like dry soil. I was like. "What dafuq am I drinking." I took all the slimming pills from my bag and threw them away.

And now, I'm friggin' afraid of getting a liver check.

But an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Thank God for he spared me from suffering and death!

WHAT DO THESE PILLS EXACTLY DO TO YOU?

These are basically laxatives and appetite depressants. Ballerina, a suppressant and laxative, curbs hunger and makes your stomach feel full that's why you should take it prior to any meal. The most number of capsules you can take per day are 3. If you exceed the recommended dosage, you'll experience palpitation. In fact, I remember experiencing palpitation on the third pill! These capsules have ingredients that make your stomach expand, making you eat less, thereby making you lose weight. It keeps you parched, and makes you drink lots of water. If you didn't know, water can make you feel full.

It's all part of the slimming pills' evil plan--- To make you feel full, and encourage your Excretory system to excrete loads of feces. (Even if there's nothing to excrete!) If you only eat 30% of your meal, what food and nutrition will go to your system if your body's going to turn almost half of it into crap? Now think about that.

Zhen De Shou, an appetite depressant, (take note, it's not even a suppresant) also encourages the body's natural ability to curb hunger---TO AN EXTREME DEGREE. As we all know, our bodies can signal hunger and satiety to our brains. But Zhen De Shou does it differently---it tells your body that it is always full. In turn, you will only eat minimal food, and that's why you lose a whopping amount of pounds during the first week. The weird part is, you get addicted to the pill.

The reason why I've experienced tummy pains right after I stopped taking Zhen De Shou is because my stomach has finally been released from the shackles of this depressant. It felt like I was starved for a week! I've come to realize that its results were just temporary.

Oh, guess what? I ate like a bear, and gained all the weight I lost--twice as much and twice as fast.

These pills can actually make you lose weight SO FAST. In fact, it's even faster and more effective than most diet plans I've tried. For something so effective and "High Quality", why is it so goddamn cheap!? Hmmm... Something smells fishy...

I KNOW SHABU CAN MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT THIS FAST!!! SO BAKA MERON DIN ITONG MGA ITO.

These pills claim that they use herbs such as hawthorne, fairy leaves, pearls, polyphenols, ginseng and gingko biloba that are medicinal, safe, effective, and duly registered to a Food and Drug administration. Well, I doubt!

If herbal medicines have little to no side effects, how come these "herbal" slimming pills have?
Whatever chemical they put in it, it's better that I don't know. I don't even wanna find out.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS!

Apparently, the growth of these phenomenal slimming pills have lured (daw) fakers into making business out of it. So there are already fake and original slimming pills. The brand that's being famously pirated is Zhen De Shou.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU GOT THE REAL THING: The original distributors and manufacturers put seals on their products so that it can be distinguished from the fake ones. (Heart seal, flower seal, gold seal, blue seal, etc.) But unfortunately, even the seals are replicated! So it would be really hard for a consumer to distinguish the real from the fake one. Check this out:



BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER! THEY ALL CONTAIN HARMFUL CHEMICALS ANYWAY!


THESE CHINESE SLIMMING PILLS CONTAIN MAO HUANG ,(CHINESE EPHEDRA; EPHEDRA SINICA), A POWERFUL PLANT ORIGINATING FROM CHINA. IT HAS DIFFERENT VARIETIES IN MONGOLIA AS WELL. EPHEDRINES CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES TO ORGANS AND CAN LEAD TO LONG TERM DISEASES. THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF MAO HUANG, AND ARE CONSIDERED AS HERBAL MEDICINES FOR THEY ARE STRONG LAXATIVES. (A POSSIBLE CURE FOR CONSTIPATION IN THE OLDEN TIMES)

THEY WERE ONCE WIDELY USED IN DIETARY AND WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS, POSSIBLY AROUND THE EARLY 80'S- LATE 90'S. BUT MAO HUANG/EPHEDRINE WAS ALREADY BANNED IN 2000 IN A LOT OF FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES DUE TO ITS LETHAL EFFECTS. CHECK THESE SITES FOR MORE INFO ON THIS PLANT:


Take my stories as warnings. Change doesn't happen overnight. If you plant a seed, it will not turn into a tree and bear fruits the next morning. If you have a mannerism and decide to stop tonight, it doesn't mean you have completely abolished that mannerism from your system the next day. Hard work and effort is all you need to achieve successful outcomes. Or else, you will learn your lesson the hard way.

I have gained weight. Hey, after my theatre practicum, I had all the time in the world to eat. I just don't like depriving myself of food. And if you always get the chance to eat at places like Cyma, Fish and Co., People's Palace, Soms, Oody's, CafeBola, Chateau, The Lobby at the Peninsula Manila, Max's Fried Chicken, Italianni's, Chealsea's, conti's, Polu Kai, Abe, New Orleans, Texas Roadhouse, Coldrock, Haagen Daz, Krispy Kreme, Ababu, King's Kebab, Kulinarya, The Rockefeller, Old Chang Kee, Superbowl, and all the expensive and fine restaurants in the city--- ALL EXPENSES PAID, I'm sure you'll understand why I got fat!

Well, I can get back to my old shape if I want to. I just need a bit of willpower to do it. And now, I'm back on track: I'm into jogging and basically doing a lot of walking exercises to shed pounds, slowly altering my eating habits, trying to healthy food, abolished overeating, cutting down on sweets and carbs, and watching the food I eat and beverages I drink. I won't get results in a matter of a month, but at least, I'm doing it the right way.

Hey, Ive come to realize that I'd rather see myself back in my old skin again in a year or so, than see it skinny and slim in just 7 days, but dying.

I don't mind what other people think about me. Of course, they want my old shape back. Well, this is what I've become. Love me or leave me. :)

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL INTO THESE PILLS, (WHATEVER SLIMMING PILLS IN THE MARKET ESPECIALLY THE ONES FROM CHINA) STOP TAKING THESE THINGS NOW.
CLEARLY, THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO A FIT AND HEALTHY BODY. EVERYTHING TAKES WORK AND TIME!

Oooh my... I know of someone naman who drank slimming coffee. I told her to stop kasi she's been acting weird since weeks after she started drinking it. So I researched the ingredients and found out na it causes hallucination and paranoia, etc.

Kaya pala one time, she seems like she's talking to an imaginary friend. Tapos she feels like may cctv camera anywhere she goes and that someone's watching her every move.

We asked her to stop, and a weeks after she did, nawala na din yung mga hallucination nya. Dadalhin na dapat namin sya sa psychiatrist... Yung coffee lang pala ang cause

jackie said...

nyay..Even if you are not into these pills, merely reading it is scary! Thanks much for the info :-)

Istin said...

kung ndi ko pa na-try un ******** last 2010 at nakita ko bka sinubukan ko pa rin dahil sa gusto ko pumayat. in my experience, slimming coffee ang tinake ko. 11days ko sya nainom and un side effects umabot ng lagpas 6months. ilan doktor na pinuntahan ko para lang icheck kung anu sakit ko. almost 50k ang naubos namin sa doktor, gamot, pahilot etc. thank God nawala na rin lahat nung mga sakit ko. bumalik na un weight ko and i dont mind kung mataba ako as long as wala ako nararamdamang sakit. do the natural way of losing weight and most important be happy with your body.

Hi Martha, thanks for sharing! I've always been curious about these pills but was too afraid to try. My mom said she has a couple of friends who were taking slimming teas naman na nagka-cancer din so she told me to veer away from those also.

Alexis said...

Thank you so much for sharing this, Martha!

I never was tempted to take these (since, I knew something that makes you slim that fast must have a catch), but I sure knew how it felt to wish to be skinny. I was 165 lbs. at 5'3". It really wasn't a lot, but everyone seemed to notice it, commenting "Gaganda ka pa if mas payat ka." Hurr..

I eventually lost the weight ( for health, though. Para di na hingalin) but that was through diet and exercise. It took me a year to get in shape. It was slow, tiring, but lasting as I still have the same body I spent 2008 trying to shape (plus, tumangkad pa! Hahaha!). Okay, so I still have a big butt, but hey, I don't mind! I quite like it.

Every single body is beautiful, and if you do need to lose weight (for health), true, exercise is always the best way to go.

Aviva said...

Oh, Martha, this is so scary. So have you had your liver checked? I hope these pills didn't wreak havoc on your insides. I'm gonna watch your interview later.

Belle said...

With all the pressure in society, even just from our families,who constantly bombard us with comments of "uy,ang taba taba mo ah!", or "saan ka tumatambay?at nagkakaganyan ka?sa kusina ba?" or "siguro wala ka na ginawa kung di kumain". That hurts! and we all can't help but look for ways to help ourselves gain back the confidence we've lost due to our weight gain.

I've tried these. That was like 5 years ago, YES! I've seen results! Yes, people love me for being thin or the sexier me gains a lot of praises! But, would you believe it? That I've actually read your blog back then. One of the reasons why I really stopped. Apart from the realization that this won't help me in the long run. That I can't take these pills all my life. And true enough, as soon as I stopped, I gained my appetite back. But what I can say is that, I've also learned to accept my body. I may not be a size 0, I might be on the last size of regular women's clothing, being an XL girl. But I'm happy. All through these past years, I've loved cooking and baking, and savored the food I cooked with the bf. He loved me nonetheless, weight gain or not. Right now, we're getting back on track. We're trying to exercise, and oh I must say, that felt good. Even just a 30min elliptical ride, greatly helped my stamina and I don't get tired easily. I might not reach the size Small. But I'm happy. That's what's important.

Thanks Martha! Never knew you've been an online adviser/friend even years before.

(sorry sa nobela, comment nga lang pala.blog post na tong nagawa ko) ha ha..

Wow! This is why I always blog about healthy dieting and losing weight. I feel pity for those girls who are killing themselves just to get thin. Lucky you that you learned your lesson right away.

Cheers! Visiting from FB :)

Inspirational and informative post Ms. Martha! My cousin and friends are actually using slimming pills called Hokkaido pills, roughly having similar effects to Ballerina but guess what we found when they had the ingredients analyzed? Methamphetamines! A pharmacy here even sells Pearl White that promises whitening as well as slimming but it seems to be approved by the DOH.

Jin said...

It's a long post but worth the read.:) I have tried Zhen because a friend of mine was using it also.. Good thing I stopped after two boxes (if I remember it correctly, 1 box has 10 pcs of capsule), i forgot the reason why i stopped (it's also around 2008-2009). After doing my own research (after a few months of taking it), I was scared to death. I prayed I won't have cancer. Up until now I feel paranoid. What if it affects my future child/children? What if my egg cells where damaged? I remembered my genetics class.. the egg cells of a woman is as old as the person bearing them. So, what ever happened to your body, it will be affected also. T^T right now, i'm also trying very hard to live a healthy life..:')

Amakura Reika said...

Now watching. Thanks for the heads up! Will fully read this post later.. x_x

I also warned my friend coz I know she's taking slimming pills x_x

Arra Jurado said...

Hi Ms. Martha, thank you for sharing this. I think whatever you shape or size is it doesn't matter as long as your confident, I remember seeing two bloggers, hehe, I know they're famous around blogosphere but they're fashion bloggers yata and I'm more into reading beauty blogs kasi (sorry if I don't know your names), but I really admire them..they can wear whatever they want,nadadala nila. when i saw a news about anorexic people, sabi psychological daw and madalas pag sinasabihan mo ang tao ng mataba,naiisip un ng taong yun hanggang sa maapektuhan na sya, that's why whenever my friends ask me if antaba taba nila (actually natatakot na ko sa friend ko nagkakaanorexic thoughts na sya), I just say na "hindi naman" because ayokong dahil sakn they'll do stuff like not eating or taking diet pills.(lalo na nauso samin may nagaalok chinese slimming coffee yata). LOL sorry for the long post, I'm just so affected, i thought urban legend lang na nakakamatay ang mga slimming pills. :D

Sherlina Shay said...

Oh God. I drank those slimming coffee less than a month ago. My friend recommended it to me since she said it all natural and stuff. So I bought 3 boxes of it without thinking. I only drank the product for 6 days and its super effective I don't even eat for a whole day. I stopped since even though I drink like 4 liters of water a day, my throat feels dry, I cant swallow very well plus I have unusual symptoms of palpitation and frequent headaches. I already stopped taking this but until now, I only eat like once a day. I want to bring back my old eating habits. I'd rather be fat than dead. :(

lechique said...

This is very helpful Ms. Martha.. I'll let my office mate know about that slimming pills, she's been using it for a month now. Thanks.

Rochelle said...

thanks for sharing.. its a BIG HELP for us..lalo na sa mga girls na wants to take diet. Actually, I am one of those people who afraid to use or take any pills or medicine for diet thing. I still believe in proper diet like "eat what is healthy", be what you eat, and proper exercise. and most of all self discipline. hehehe

Ica said...

this is very informative. lalo pa ngayon when a lot of girls really think that taking slimming pills really is the easy way to get thin -- well, it really is pero unhealthy naman. i admit there were those moments when i tried checking out the best slimming product that i can take. but after reading this, i'll just stick with working out. thanks a lot Martha. you helped many of your readers.

hazelmay said...

yung mga tea ba ay di rin safe?im using now bigurlai...its a laxative tea kasi nahihirapan kasi akong magbawas.i take it mga 3x a week....huhuh..im afraid na magkaroon din ng cancer and liver failure..T__T

Hi, I'm Sharlene. 17 years old. Matangkad na Sexy pero gusto ko pa pumayat for modelling kasi tinamad na ko magjogging. Kaya naisipan ko bumili ng 1 bottle Hokkaido Slimming Pills na nakita ko lang sa internet pero hindi ko siya naubos. After 2 weeks, sobrang pumayat na ko at hindi na nila nagugustuhan yung pagkapayat kasi parang dry daw mas gusto daw nila yung dati tapos naninikip ang dibdib ko na parang aatakihin ako sa puso tapos may dugo na sa stool ko. Kaya itinigil ko, pero hanggang ngayon nakakaramdam pa din ako ng pananakit ng dibdib. Tapos yung kinakain ko kahit onti lang idinudumi ko na tapos yung stool ko liquid kaya kumakain ako ng pampatigas ng stool yung latundan. At 1 month ko na din itinigil. At nababahala na ko. :'(

I've never tried Zhen de shou nor Ballerina, pero I was loyal to a certain pill since '07 until sabi ng store, di na raw sila nagbebenta nun kasi di naapprove ng bfad or something. I was only taking it everytime nasa mood ako magpapapayat, pero you're right, doble pa yung nagain ko every time tumitigil ako.

A friend saw an old pic of me na sobrang payat, sabi nya magpapayat daw ulit ako ng ganun. Pero I don't get inspired by my skinny pics anymore, kasi those were the days na talagang gutom ako at nasugod sa ospital for gastritis.

Now I'm just exercising at least 3x a week and eating right. okay lnag matagalan yung effect, at least di ako nadedeprive. and mas blooming ako, kesa dati para akong malnourished.

Your blog is so helpful. I was about to buy some slimming tea/pills so I researched about it online. Then I saw your post. And I am pretty sure I will never buy those pills/tea ever. But the stupid part is, I warned someone that I don't know about this thing. Some random people I saw on Instagram who just bought so many boxes of slimming teas and pills. I told them about this site and told them to read this. I told them that drinking those things may cause their lives. But the stupid part is they kept on arguing with me and doesn't want to do what I say. Who am I? I am just a random people concerned about their health, why would they believe me.I guess they wouldn't stop unless they felt it. It's up to them now. Die sexy or live chubby.

OMG!!! Ms. Martha, I was very surprised. I read this post in 2008 and I didn't know it was yours until I checked the winners of your anniv contest and searched for "The Truth About Slimming Pills (Featured On FAILON NGAYON" because it was one of the favorites of the winners. I stopped taking slimming pills already because I experienced some abdominal pains after taking than xen de shou... what i do know is eat clean and live a healthy lifestyle.

Anonymous and Antonxx: Hi there and welcome to TBJ! I am not so sure about Slimina and Avon Japan Diet Capsules though. All I can tell you is to eat healthy and exercise-this is the only way to achieve a healthy and fit body. :)

Oh my, we really need to be wary of such things, especially for the pills rumored to be imitations. I’m glad that you were spared from experiencing what happened to your godmother and that a lot of people have learned a lesson from your post. This is why I only believe in proper exercise, healthy diet and the advices from board-certified doctors. Anyway, let’s all be careful!

I've tried zhen de zhou before for a coule of months at grabe ang pinayat ko kasi naman halos di na ako kumakain and if kakain ako parang di ko kayang lunukin.. actually i felt good that time kaya lang yung katawan ko humihina kasi wala na akong nutrients na ini intake I had to stop using it kasi sabi ng sister ko it contains some drugs na nakakasira yata sa health, so nung nagstop ako tumaba ulit ako but I'm happy kasi I learned to accept my body with my sexy bulky curves..hehehe..I hope marami pa mga women makabasa ng blog mo para aware sila sa mga effects ng mga slimming pills na to.
