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

One in five people 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 Phones

Mobile scrap heap - old phones are being refurbished

We throw away around 15 million mobile phones every year.

It's expensive and it's an environmental disgrace.

David Whiteley visits a farm in Norfolk that has the answer.

Phones are taken in, refurbished 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.
