phosphatidylcholine a potential cure?
I have recently been looking everywhere online for potential cures and these are the two most interesting ones:
http://www.eblue.org/article/S0190-9622(05)02586-7/abstract:
This documents a successful medical trial regarding the dissolving and shrinking of lipomas conducted in 2005. Although the trial concludes that phosphatidylcholine was not the active ingredient in this case (despite it being the premise for the trial) it strikes me that the body's natural phosphatidylcholine levels decrease by approximately 10-15% per year (from 90% at birth to as low as 10% in old age). This mirrors the most common initial formation of lipomas - Very, very few people seem to be affected before 16, and the general onset begins in 20s/30s. I am yet to be able to find out any more on this.
This: http://www.bluepoppy.com/cfwebstorefb/images/features/rr_277.pdf
also documents the successful treatment of multiple lipomas (as far back as 1985!) in China, using traditional Chinese medicine. I have contacted the translator of this article, but he has not had contact with the original doctor for over 20 years - I am unable to trace the Chinese doctor. VERY INTERESTING THOUGH.
There is alot of rubbish written online about lipoma cures. The steroid injections may be worth a shot, but I remain very suspect of lipodissolve.
And please God stay away from all of the phony supplements.
I am determined and adamant that I am going to find a cure for myself and will share it on this site when I do. If you really think about the
medical leaps in recent years it CANNOT be that difficult to dissolve a piece of fat?

More on deoxycholate
Please see this link for more information on a medical trial conducted using deoxycholate:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16310057
BACKGROUND: Lipomas are benign neoplasms of mature fat cells. Current treatments are invasive and carry the risk of scarring. Injections of phosphatidylcholine solubilized with deoxycholate, a bile salt, have been used to reduce unwanted accumulations of fat. Recent in vitro and ex vivo investigations indicate that deoxycholate alone causes adipocyte lysis. OBJECTIVE: We sought to report our experience treating lipomas using subcutaneous deoxycholate injections. METHODS: A total of 6 patients presenting with 12 lipomas were treated with intralesional injections of sodium deoxycholate (1.0%, 2.5%, and 5.0%) at intervals of 2 to 20 weeks. Tumor size, cutaneous reactions, and patients' subjective responses were recorded before and after treatment. RESULTS: All lipomas decreased in size (mean area reduction, 75%; range, 37%-100%) as determined by clinical measurement (with ultrasound confirmation in one lipoma) after an average of 2.2 treatments. Several lipomas fragmented or became softer in addition to decreasing in volume. Adverse effects, including transient burning, erythema, and local swelling, were associated with higher deoxycholate concentrations but resolved without intervention. There was no clear association between deoxycholate concentration and efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: Our clinical experience supports our laboratory investigations demonstrating that deoxycholate, rather than phosphatidylcholine, is the active ingredient in subcutaneously injected formulas used to treat adipose tissue. This small series suggests that low concentration deoxycholate may be a relatively safe and effective treatment for small collections of fat. However, controlled clinical trials will be necessary to substantiate these observations.
Did this with some success
A couple of years ago, I found a doctor willing to inject my lipomas with 1% sodium deoxycholate. I presented the Little Company of Mary study and he looked into it himself as well. Determining that this was likely to destroy any tissue it was injected into, he played it safe and only injected about 15 of my largest lipomas which were closest to the surface of the skin. The ones he injected with a healthy dose from the start were the most effective as the ones that only partially shrank due to an 'under-dose' IMO, he was unwilling to inject again. We postulated that with the correct scanning device to insure the needle was in the lipoma, one could potentially eliminate all lipomas over time. Beware however, there is some healthy swelling, heat, redness, and discomfort after injections which takes a couple of weeks to calm down and final results were noted at about 3-4 weeks.
Best wishes.
