HCG, Obesity, Testosterone and More

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

When it comes to HCG, obesity is only one health issue that is addressed. The fact is that HCG can be used to treat fertility problems in men and women, and has been used this way in licensed fertility clinics for many years. However, men who suffer from low testosterone may experience low energy and diminished sex drive and performance as well as inability to impregnate his partner. This is one of the positive side effects of HCG.

Where it Comes From

Considering that HCG is a by-product of pregnancy, it shouldn’t be surprising that it would be effective in treating fertility and other hormonal issues. HCG is produced by mother and fetus during pregnancy. Its primary function is to protect the fetus during gestation while regulating metabolic processes for both mother and fetus.

HCG appears to function like an anti-rejection drug, suppressing the mother’s immune systems around the baby. Otherwise, the mother’s immune system would attack the developing fetus as if it were a “foreign” body, much as happens with transplant patients without proper medication.

A second function of HCG was observed by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, when he was doing research in India during the 1940s. In situations where the mother suffers from undernourishment, HCG prevents her system from “leeching” nutrients from the fetus.

Although there is a great deal of HCG in the human body immediately after birth, this tends to diminish throughout childhood and adolescence. Adults have virtually no natural HCG left in their systems by the time they are in their early twenties.

HCG, Fertility and Testosterone

When administered via injection to women who are experiencing infertility, HCG stimulates ovulation, facilitating the production of eggs.

It is perfectly natural for men to experience a reduction in testosterone as they get older. However, in rare cases this can affect younger men as well. In these cases, the symptoms are not as obvious. Young men with low testosterone may still have a normal sex drive and ability, but may be unable to father a child.

When it comes to men, HCG goes to work on specialized cells inside the testicles. These are known as leydig cells, and are named after the 19th-century German medical researcher who first described them.

Leydig cells are the ones that produce and secrete testosterone. By stimulating these cells, HCG causes them to produce testosterone in greater amounts. This in turn leads to increased production of sperm – making it much more likely that coitus will result in pregnancy.

We should point out that it is highly inadvisable to order HCG liquid for this purpose. Treatment of fertility issues with HCG is best left to a qualified doctor who specializes in treating infertility.

Safety of the HCG diet

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

In rare cases, some people experience minor side effects on the HCG diet, although this is quite rare. For the overwhelming majority, when used with Dr. Simeons’ protocols, HCG is perfectly safe and very effective in achieving their weight loss goals.

Most states allow individuals to purchase HCG for their own personal use. In other states, a doctor’s prescription is required. However, when it comes to safety concerns, most people worry about the risks associated with a 500-calorie diet – which under normal circumstances is starvation.After all, the average human body requires a minimum of 1,200 calories every day.

Once the mechanism of HCG is understood however, you will understand that the program poses virtually no risk to healthy individuals.

What HCG Does

The “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin” (HCG) occurs naturally in pregnant women. Its primary purpose is to protect the fetus from the mother’s immune system as well as prevent the mother’s system from stealing nutrients from the fetus in case of malnutrition. With normal pregnancies, HCG primarily controls the metabolic processes of both mother and fetus.

After the baby is born, HCG stays in the system throughout childhood and adolescence. Over time however, this supply HCG disappears and is pretty well exhausted by the time someone reaches adulthood.

How it Works

Provided Dr. Simeons’ protocols are followed exactly, a person can expect to lose up to two pounds a day. This happens because HCG literally reprograms the body’s “thermostat,” the hypothalamus. When you are following the specified weight loss diet – which is approximately 20-25% of the calories needed to maintain good health under normal circumstances. Those extra calories have to come from someplace – and when HCG is regulating the hypothalamus, it is able to extract those needed calories from the body’s excess fat deposits (technically called “adipose”).

Possible Side Effects

On very rare occasions, some individuals may suffer some of the following side effects, which include:

water retention
depression
constipation
pain and inflammation at the injection site (if using injectable HCG)

Again, these are not an issue with the majority of those who use the HCG diet.

Once, Only the Rich and Famous Could Buy HCG…

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

For years, they knew about it. That was their secret: they would buy HCG. They would go to their exclusive, hidden-away clinics, and come back looking fabulous, leaving you reeling, lost in speculation, and sometimes ripping your hair out in frustration because darn it, you wanted to look like that too. No matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t get there.

The Secret Weight Loss Revealed
Yes, they bought HCG, and that was the problem, back then. You almost had to be a movie star, or a rock star, an heir or heiress to an American financial dynasty, or maybe royalty, to afford it. They only sold it in injection form at those snobby clinics. It wasn’t available at all to the likes of us, the masses. Heck, they wouldn’t even tell us what it was, preferring to let us think they just had determination, willpower, and naturally great bodies in addition to all the fortune and fame.

Oral HCG to the Rescue
But things have changed, honey! The club is no longer exclusive, thanks especially to oral HCG. That’s right—it’s no longer necessary to get HCG in injection form, whether at clinics or by prescription. In fact, while it’s always advisable to consult your doctor before starting any diet plan, you can buy oral HCG online without a prescription. You’ll want to do your research, of course, since you won’t have a special clinic laying it all out for you, but in my mind that’s a small price to pay.

Also, any oral HCG source worth its salt will provide you with ample information about precisely how and when to use the drops and what else you need to be doing along with them. They will help tell you what and when to eat and about laying off your exercise plan until the diet is over, etc.

Honestly, you won’t believe how relatively simple, not to mention effective, this diet is. If you tend to not do well with diets, I promise this isn’t like anything you’ve tried, and it’s almost guaranteed to show results.

After all, it wouldn’t have been a Hollywood staple for no reason.

Why HCG Drops Are The Best Choice

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

HCG drops or injections? Which is better?

While both forms of HCG are equally effective in treating weight loss, and injectable HCG has been used for many years to treat fertility issues in couples trying to conceive, when it comes to dieting, the liquid form offers some distinct advantages over the injection.

Legal Issues

First of all, it is illegal in most states to obtain HCG injections without a doctor’s prescription. Although used primarily by fertility specialists, those who are using injectable HCG for weight loss are usually under a doctor’s care and supervision.

You can probably find sources on the Internet that will sell you injectable HCG directly, but dealing with these sources is not a good idea for several reasons.

First, these sources are located in foreign countries where the manufacture and sale of HCG is very poorly regulated, if at all. You have no real guarantee of what you are getting.
Secondly, assuming that your order is shipped, it must pass through Customs. There is a good chance that your order may be seized. Since your name is on the package, it is possible that you will wind up getting a visit from certain officials that you really don’t want to deal with and whose questions you won’t want to answer.
Finally, if you fail to receive your order – or it turns out to be ineffective or even harmful – you have very little recourse.

Inconvenience of Injections

Assuming you receive your injections and it turns out to be a good product, you should know that it does not come in a ready-to-use form. You receive two separate vials, one of which contains a dried, powdered form of HCG, the other being a container of water that has been treated with a chemical bacteria inhibitor. These must be mixed in a sterile container in very specific proportions before being placed in the syringe.

Then there is the issue of the needle. Understandably, most people dislike the idea of sticking themselves twice a day. It is a skill that can be learned, but it is still uncomfortable and often can lead to long-term pain and irritation at the injection site.

Why HCG Drops Are Better

Liquid HCG is manufactured in the U.S. by licensed laboratories that must follow specific guidelines specified and enforced by the Food and Drug Administration as well as the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia, which governs the manufacture and sale of homeopathic remedies.

It is important to understand that liquid HCG must be properly stored and taken correctly in order to remain effective. If you are using HCG right away, it is fine to store it in the medicine cabinet, but long-term storage should be in the refrigerator.

Also, HCG cannot be swallowed right away. The proper method is to place several drops under the tongue and hold them there for at least ten minutes. The beneficial properties of HCG can be destroyed by digestive juices, which is why it is normally taken sublingually.

What You Should Know Before You Buy Oral HCG

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Those who are scarred veterans of the “Battle of the Bulge” have found that HCG succeeds in helping them achieve their weight loss goals. If you are planning to buy oral HCG however, you should know and understand what it is, how it works and how to store it correctly so that it remains an effective remedy. It is particularly important to keep HCG away from heat.

Here’s why.

The Creation of Homeopathic Remedies

The history, background and manufacture of homeopathic medications provides a great deal of insight of how such medications like HCG work to relieve symptoms.

Hipokrat?s of Kos, the “Father of Western Medicine”, lived during the Age of Pericles in Greece some five hundred years before the Common Era. He developed a classification system whereby medicines were considered either homeopathic – “similar” – or antipathic, meaning opposite. Examples of “opposites” are antacids that are used to treat excess stomach acid, stimulants to treat fatigue and laxatives to treat constipation.

While effective in the short term, opposites tend to lose their effectiveness after awhile and often result in what is known as a “backlash” effect in which the problem being treated actually becomes worse.

Similars, or homeopathic medications, actually create the same symptoms as the condition being treated. This triggers a physiological response in the body that results in the condition improving gradually over time.

This field of medicine was the subject of a great deal of research in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Most of this was codified and written down by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, who lived in what is now Germany. His method for creating homeopathic medications is virtually unchanged. A biochemical substance (usually botanical in origin) is diluted several times with a process called potentization. During this process, the biochemical substance leaves its imprint on the water molecules. A minimal amount of alcohol is added as a preservative.

Proper HCG Storage

When you first buy oral HCG, it does not need any special consideration. Just keep the medication in a medicine cabinet where it will be protected from direct sunlight and high temperatures. If you do not plan to use it right away however, you should keep the HCG refrigerated.

Because it consists of proteins made from chains of amino acids, HCG must not be exposed to excessive heat. This will destroy the amino acids and render it useless.

Losing Fat and Not Muscle on a Low-Calorie Diet

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

The problem with a low-calorie diet is that your body, when provided with so few calories per day, goes into starvation mode. It wants to conserve its fat, because it thinks it might need it later, if this is how it’s going to be. It prefers to get the energy it would normally get from calories from muscle instead. It feels safer that way.

But you don’t go on a diet to lose muscle. You go on it to lose fat. You want to keep that muscle! So how do you trick your body into using the fat, not the muscle?

HCG: The Weight Loss Hormone
The answer is surprisingly simple: you give it oral HCG. HCG stands for human chorio gonadotropin, a hormone actually produced by the human pregnant female body. All of us are born with HCG in our bodies, but, unless you’re a pregnant woman, you can’t make more of it. HCG works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland, the gland that helps regulate the body’s usage and thus storage of fat, among other things.

Unfortunately, the lifetime supply of HCG with which we’re all born is taken from us by the chemicals in our foods, as well as by Candida yeast, which grows at an unbalanced rate in our bodies due to our tendency to take antibiotics but not probiotics. Probiotics are the good bacteria that colonize a healthy digestive system. With no good bacteria to check it, yeast (a fungus) can take over.

All of which leads to our bodies’ inability to regulate fat. HCG works by signaling the body to use up its stored fat—not its muscle. Homeopathic oral HCG drops provide enough HCG to alter the body’s fat-hoarding pattern. Also, because the body is getting its energy from that stored fat, you don’t feel as hungry only eating the limited calories each day as you otherwise would.

Oral HCG can’t make your body start making its own, but it helps change metabolic tendencies, making it easier to keep the weight off. Sounds win-win to me!

Should You Buy Oral HCG or Injections?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

HCG, or “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin,” is normally produced by women and fetuses during pregnancy, and is also at the heart of what has been acknowledged as the most successful weight loss plan in history.

The most frequently asked question is: should one buy oral HCG or the injectable form – or even the recent gel that can be absorbed through the skin?

Read on for the answers.

The Injectable Form

HCG injections were once standard – and were the only kind that was available. It is still used in fertility clinics, where men receive HCG injections to increase sperm production and women are treated with the hormone in order to stimulate ovulation. (Note: we do not recommend that you use HCG for this purpose on your own without being under a fertility specialist’s care.)

Now, many people – primarily Type I diabetics – learn very how to give themselves injections properly. Other people, not surprisingly, are rather uncomfortable with the idea of sticking themselves with needles. Regardless of whether or not you can deal with injecting yourself with a syringe however, there are a couple of problems.

The first problem lies in the fact that injectable HCG can be very difficult to obtain. Normally, it is only available by prescription from a licensed MD. There are overseas sources for injectable HCG, but this comes primarily from countries in which regulations and oversight of the industry are all but non-existent. Therefore, you cannot be certain that what you are getting is a quality product.

Secondly, you are running the risk of getting some unwelcome attention from customs. At best, it may be seized, and at worst, you may wind up getting a visit from Customs agents who will have some difficult questions.

Assuming you are able to obtain injectable HCG on your own, there is a third issue: preparing the serum. The injectable form of this hormone comes to you in two parts: a powdered concoction that is the actual HCG, and water that has been treated with a chemical bacteriostatic agent to inhibit bacterial growth that might otherwise destroy the HCG. You must mix these two parts very carefully in a sterile container before loading the syringe – and you must perform this ritual twice a day.

It’s Better to Buy Oral HCG

The advantages of liquid HCG are many. The best part is that the mixing has been done for you. It is much more convenient and easier to take.

The two things to keep in mind are:

(1) liquid HCG is perishable. If you do not plan to use it immediately, it’s best to keep it in the refrigerator until you start Dr. Simeon’s protocols.

(2) You must not simply swallow HCG drops. They need to be placed under the tongue and held there for at least ten minutes. If swallowed, it will lose all effectiveness, because stomach acid will destroy it before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

This understood, you will find that HCG drops are the best way to go.

Before You Buy HCG, Know How It Works

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

If you have been hesitant to buy HCG because you have been disappointed with other diets, we don’t blame you. Skepticism is a healthy thing, and since we’re asking you to trust us, you have a right to know how it works.

The answer lies in our own evolution and physiology.

Asking The Right Questions

Part of good science is not just asking questions, but knowing which questions to ask. One of the questions that Dr. A.T. Simeons asked back in the 1940s is why people get fat to begin with – and why is it so difficult to get rid of if it is so detrimental to health?

The answer has to do with the environment in which we evolved and a world in which humans had to hunt and forage for food. Before the advent of agriculture, human eating patterns were quite different. First of all, we did not each large meals at set times of the day. Rather, we nibbled throughout the day, much like chimpanzees and gorillas.

The other difference is that agricultural products such as grains were not part of the human diet. The typical human diet consisted largely of tree and vine fruits, tubers, fish, poultry and eggs, and occasional red meat.

Essentially, our bodies have failed to change with the times – or more accurately, have not had time to do so. Our bodily mechanisms do not think and have no intelligence. Like machines, they respond to the conditions that are perceived. In the case of fat and weight control, to our bodies there is no difference between cutting calories and suffering from a famine, so they respond accordingly by holding on to those life preserving fat reserves.

Buy HCG and See Results

When you buy HCG, you are simply purchasing a form of hormone-replacement therapy. HCG re-regulates the hypothalamus, forcing it to burn calories from fat stores when you cut calories to minimal levels. For example, if you are a typical adult who requires 2,000 calories a day for normal metabolism, you will cut your calories by 75% while taking HCG, which will literally force the hypothalamus to obtain the missing calories from fat stores.

You owe it to yourself to give HCG a try today. Visit http://www.hcgdietdirect.com to find out more about how this hormone replacement therapy can help you in shedding those extra pounds once and for all.

Sublingual Drops Vs. HCG Shot: Which Is Better for the HCG Weight Loss Plan?

Monday, January 25th, 2010

When deciding to do the diet program, you are faced with the choice of how you will take the hormonal supplement: either orally, as homeopathic remedies, or as an HCG shot. When Dr. Simeons first developed the program, the injections were the only way you could obtain the hormone supplements.

Over the years, a homeopathic remedy evolved that allowed dieters to obtain the hormone by taking it orally. We feel that the homeopathic remedy we offer is the best way to take the hormone, for three major reasons:

1. Studies show that oral HCG remedy use is just as effective as injections

Studies have shown that dieters who switch from injections to drops experience the same weight loss results as they did before, at about .5 to a pound per day. In addition, these dieters reported feeling fuller between meals and having more energy than they did when they were taking injections. These results show that the drops are even more effective in helping people stick to the program than the injections.

2. Our proprietary blend is potent and keeps you on track

Our homeopathic drops are a special proprietary blend that is formulated to be more potent than any other remedy on the market. We include supplements that help curb hunger pangs and boost your energy level so that you feel energetic and satisfied throughout your journey on the diet program. If you are feeling good and don’t feel starved at every turn, it’s much more likely that you will stick with the program. We go out of our way to make sure you feel great so you will be a success!

3. The drops are much less expensive than injections

Injections are expensive; there is no doubt about that. In addition to the injections themselves, you must budget for a physician’s visit and you must pay the prices the pharmacy charges, without being able to shop around. Most insurance companies will not cover the injectable hormone, which means you have to pay out-of-pocket. This makes the diet program quite expensive and deters most people from even trying it in the first place.

On the other hand, the drops are inexpensive, easily obtained in the United States without a prescription, and can be reordered at any time without a physician’s permission. These drops make the diet program an affordable experience that has just as much effectiveness as the program with injections.

We feel certain that our homeopathic drops are the best way to get the hormone you need, without sacrificing quality or your budget. Don’t wait to start your weight loss journey–order your supply today!
