Since 1954 we have been working on alginate based rcniedies for, among others, treatment of adipositas and some ventricle illnesses. Earlier no alginates have been used for these purposes in the internal medicine. 1955 we presented a preliminary bulletin (9) and gave further information at a speach, April 1956, in Svenska föreningen för invärtesmedicin (The Swedish Association for Internal Medicine) (the speach is not published). We have now during three years used these remedies against adipositas in connection with diet- and regime-keeping. Good results have been obtained with 100 of 138 persons who have been under treatment during more than 2 months. The preparation Minus which is supplied by the Svenska AB Remedia is such an alginate based remedy. As alginates have a considerably absorbing and acid binding effect which is protracted, we have also tested them on clientele with symptom lof ventricle. Acid troubles have thereby been eliminated and with ulcus patients a good healing has in several cases' been noticed. Any serious secondary effects have not been noticed.
