MARINA DEL REY, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Martin Schiff, M.D. has been a bariatric weight-control specialist in Los Angeles for more than half a century, as shown in "Who's Who in America," "Who's Who in the World," and "Who's Who in Medicine and Health Care."

"Diets and pills and junk don't work," Schiff contends. "Only you can help you," he asserts. "I've studied this for more than fifty-thousand hours, and I know that your weight is between your ears. The mind controls the body... Develop your controls. Mankind must attack the obesity epidemic with our brains."

Aristotle, Plato and Socrates are among the early thinkers from whom Dr. Schiff evolved his knowledge. Now he states unequivocally, "By controlling your weight by thinking, guiding and doing for yourself you develop the wherewithal to enjoy life to the utmost."

Dr. Schiff, who recently retired to his home near Los Angeles, will not accept any form of compensation. He offers his six-page weight-loss method free to all who telephone for it at (310) 827-9089. Meanwhile, the letters in his name, S-C-H-I-F-F, provide an easy way to remember the program:
