Talk about REALLY missing the point…

Having ONLY Bittner examine you and promising a permanent smooth result, being drugged first and then having a very unlicensed person start pumping you full of fluid, then having just a P.O. from an orthopedic office (news found out afterwards), who has NEVER seen what you looked like before being pumped with liters of fluid start aggressively jabbing you with a cannula with a “one size fits all” mentality, it is a wonder that anyone left that office with any positive result!!!

Bittner fled the country just after having search warrants served by the Ca State Medical Board to have his office files, computers, and much more taken out of his office and after having his home and cars searched. Are you still wondering if he has anything to hide??????

It seems that people are forgetting the “real” danger of using medical waste without permits or supervision from the Health Dept.— infection control. Whether converting fat to fuel is a viable idea, this physician blatantly disregarded Infection 101 (despite the fact that he attended Johns Hopkins, UCLA and Stanford). This physician has a history of making grandiose, false statements to further his financial goals (look up Ameriscan). I think that was the main goal of his biodiesel.org site-
to increase his exposure to attract more liposuction patients to his chop-shop. (why he would think someone would see this website of him holding out a “cake pan” full of melted fat and flock to his clinic!!!)

I am sure that alot of fat people would gladly give away their fat for fuel. I would do it in a heart beat. I can’t afford liposuction but would love for my belly to disappear and am willing to donate my fat for fuel I’m sure others feel the same way

I read the letter on his website and I think he is lying about starting his career in Bogata, Columbia because the city is actually called Bogota and the country is Colombia. Anyway, they should catch him before he leaves the country and puts more lives in danger.

[...] Okay, going green can get pretty creative, like making plastic out of wood or building a Buddhist temple with beer bottles. But using liposuctioned fat to fuel your girlfriend’s SUV is downright gross! [...]

You’ve missed the whole point! Dr. Bittner is a radiologist, not a plastic surgeon. He took a weekend course somewhere on how to do the procedure and then started supervising five (yes, count ‘em: FIVE) physician assistants who were doing the actual liposucting. Gave new meaning to the blind leading the blind.

Dr. Bittner was investigated due to the complaints of hundreds (if not,thousands) of injured, scarred patients who — guess what? — had botched procedures.

Now tell me something: The doc drove a Ford S.U.V. Does that come in a diesel engine?
