Inside Out East -
Monday September 12... Inside
Out East investigates whether liposlim can help overweight women shed the pounds.
We also uncover what happens to old mobile phones. Our final feature examines
the power of Shamanism. Fat Chance

in Britain are obese so no surprise that so many people are on the look out for
ways to shed the pounds.
Inside Out meets the women from the East who
fell prey to a scam. Liposlim claims their dream product makes you lose
weight by sticking special pads to your feet while you are asleep. With
the help of leading obesity expert Dr Susan Jebb from the Centre for Human Nutrition
Research In Cambridge, we investigate these extraordinary claims. Mobile

and sold back to the Far East.
It's the ultimate in diversification
- with farm workers grading potatoes one week and sorting phones the next. Shamans
 | | Magical healing - can Shamanism transform our lives? |
The Anglo Saxons may be long gone - but their magic is anything but
dead. The ancient tradition of Shamanism - which involves getting into
an altered mind state - is finding a new audience amongst high flyers.
