A new weight-loss supplement hasbecome a sellout after Dr. Mehmet Oz recently called it, mentioning no specific brand, “the number one miracle in a bottle to burn fat” on his daytime television show.(1) Click here to watch the episode.

Raspberry ketone, a fruit extract that research shows may break up fat cells, has become almost impossible to find in stores since the episode first aired in February.

Indeed, health food stores across the U.S. have been barraged from customers seeking the slimming supplement. Even stores in the U.K. are sold out of raspberry ketone, reports Britain’s Daily Mail online .

The Skinny About Raspberry Ketones

As Dr. Oz explains, Raspberry ketones are the compounds within raspberries that give the fruit its characteristic aroma. More important to dieters, however, is new research showing these compounds can also melt away the pounds.

Dr Khan, the guest on the Dr Oz television show, also talks about the bigger results will be accomplished the longer you take the Raspberry Ketone. Although you do lose weight quickly, if you want to get to that desired weight and keep it off, you’ll want to use Raspberry Ketone for the long haul.

According to Lisa Lynn, a weight-loss expert and personal trainer to numerous celebrities, including Martha Stewart, several her clients have been supplementing with raspberry ketones and experiencing results in as few as five days. Click here to listen to Lynn describe how raspberry ketones burn fat.

Lynn described the compounds as “very healthy” with “no side effects” and says the pills enable the body to “burn fat easier” by stimulating the production of adiponectin, a hormone found in fatty tissue that improves our ability to metabolize fat.

Studies show that thin people have higher levels of adiponectin than overweight individuals. What’s more, researchers agree that the hormone improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate weight.

Really Does Work, Say Thrilled Consumers

Social media is abuzz with happy consumers, eager to share their raspberry ketone success stories.

In a Facebook posting on one popular health information website , Nancy Darce writes, “I have been on raspberry ketone for a month and I have lost 12 lbs, and I am not hungry at all. So I can say it is working well for me. My goal is to take off another 10 lbs.”

In another posting, Jean Frizzell writes, “I’ve been on raspberry ketone for two weeks now and have lost 9.5 lbs. I can definately see results in my belly fat! It seems to working for me.”

Another consumer, Lori Holmes of Massachusetts, writes, “I have been taking raspberry ketone for a month now and have lost 13 lbs and 2 inches off of my waist.”

Stores Can’t Keep the Popular Fat Buster in Stock

Ever since the episode featuring raspberry ketone first aired in February, the phone has been ringing off the hook at Planet Nutrition in Charlotte, N.C., as soccer moms, fitness buffs, and people who just want to slim down search for raspberry ketones, according to Fox News’ Charlotte affiliate.

Manager Gage Bryant says, “It’s just crazy with the amount of calls, customers coming in, and having it on back order for another week or two from the distributors. I mean, it’s a big deal.”

Even stores that don’t typically stock the product are taking note.

Healthy Home Market Natural Remedies Consultant Joy Fanning says, “So many people have come swarming in we’ve had to take special orders.” The Healthy Home Markets have fielded lines and placed more than 200 orders for the fat burner.

The re-election of President Obama marks the first time since its inception that Obamacare is no longer a what-if; it is the future of health care in America.  

It also means a near immediate impact on the economy.  With 20 or so new or higher taxes set to be implemented, ranging from a $123 billion surtax on investment income, through the $20 billion medical device tax, all the way down to the $600 million executive compensation limit, Obamacare will be a nearly unbearable tax burden on the economy.

Who will pay?  The middle-class workforce, of course.

So with another four years for President Obama to look forward to, and the obvious inevitability of Obamacare that this entails, let’s examine the very real jobs that will be lost, and the very real lives that will be affected.

Welch Allyn

Welch Allyn, a company that manufactures medical diagnostic equipment in central New York, announced in September that they would be laying off 275 employees, or roughly 10% of their workforce over the next three years. One of the major reasons discussed for the layoffs was a proactive response to the Medical Device Tax mandated by the new healthcare law.

Dana Holding Corp.

As recently as a week ago, a global auto parts manufacturing company in Ohio known as Dana Holding Corp., warned their employees of potential layoffs, citing “$24 million over the next six years in additional U.S. health care expenses”. After laying off several white collar staffers, company insiders have hinted at more to come. The company will have to cover the additional $24 million cost somehow, which will likely equate to numerous cuts in their current workforce of 25,500 worldwide.

Stryker

One of the biggest medical device manufacturers in the world, Stryker will close their facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs in December. Worse, they plan on countering the medical device tax in Obamacare by slashing 5% of their global workforce – an estimated 1,170 positions.

Boston Scientific

In October of 2009, Boston Scientific CEO Ray Elliott, warned that proposed taxes in the health care reform bill could “lead to significant job losses” for his company. Nearly two years later, Elliott announced that the company would be cutting anywhere between 1,200 and 1,400 jobs, while simultaneously shifting investments and workers overseas – to China.

Medtronic

In March of 2010, medical device maker Medtronic warned that Obamacare taxes could result in a reduction of precisely 1,000 jobs. That plan became reality when the company cut 500 positions over the summer, with another 500 set for the end of 2013.

Others

A short list of other companies facing future layoffs at the hands of Obamacare:

Smith & Nephew – 770 layoffs
Abbott Labs – 700 layoffs
Covidien – 595 layoffs
Kinetic Concepts – 427 layoffs
St. Jude Medical – 300 layoffs
Hill Rom – 200 layoffs
Beyond the complete elimination of a significant number of American jobs is another looming problem created by the health care law – a shift from full-time to part-time workers.

Rep. Ron Paul, whose maverick presidential bids shook the GOP, said in the wake of this week’s elections that the country has already veered over the fiscal cliff and he sees no chance of righting ship in a country where too many people are dependent on government.

“We’re so far gone. We’re over the cliff,” the Texas Republican told Bloomberg Television’s “In the Loop” program. “We cannot get enough people in Congress in the next 5-10 years who will do wise things.” The video can be seen at http://www.bloomberg.com/video/ron-paul-on-fiscal-cliff-and-vows-to-compromise-MYkAiqYBTaiHwXZL9Tvxkw.html.

Mr. Paul, who is retiring after 12 terms in the House, said voters on Tuesday rejected Mitt Romney because he had opposed the government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler.

“The people in the Midwest voted against him: ‘Oh, we have to be taken care of!’ So that vote was sort of like what we are laughing at in Greece,” Mr. Paul said.

“People do not want anything cut,” he said. “They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing the money. And they don’t believe that we’ve gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff. They think we can patch it over, that we can somehow come up with some magic solution. But you can’t have a budgetary solution if you don’t change what the role of government should be. As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we are going to argue about is who will get the loot.”
