Beware of HCG Kits Online

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Go online, call up your favorite search engine and do a casual search for HCG Kits. Online, you are liable to find over two million websites that are willing, eager and even anxious to sell you a kit complete with a full supply of HCG and needle syringes.

Even if the FDA approved HCG for weight loss (it doesn’t, but this is not a reason for concern. Read on in order to learn why the HCG diet is perfectly safe and effective), there is no way that an individual can legally possess needle syringes in the U.S. without having a prescription from a licensed physician.

Why Injectable HCG is Not a Good Idea

You’ll probably notice that most of the HCG kits you see offered on the World Wide Web are from retailers in foreign countries such as Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia or Brazil. These are countries in which the pharmaceutical industry is not well-regulated (and this is probably why the government-run health care agencies in these countries import drugs from the U.S. and the E.U.). Regulation for the homeopathic industry is virtually non-existent.

What this means is that you have no assurance that what you receive (assuming you receive anything at all) isn’t expired or tainted or even if it’s genuine HCG at all.

There is then the issue of the needle syringes. There is a reason that needles are tightly regulated in the U.S., and it has everything to do with the nation’s draconian drug policies. Because these policies presume guilt until innocence is proven, if you are caught possessing needle syringes without a prescription, you could find yourself in more trouble than you bargained for.

If on the other hand you do go to the trouble and expense of getting a prescription for injectable HCG and the required syringes, you’ll have to go to the trouble of mixing the substance in a sterile container, measuring it into the syringe and sticking yourself three times a day.

Would you really want to do that if a less painful, more convenient and less expensive alternative was available?

There is an Alternative to Injections

HCG drops are economical and easy to purchase and even easier to use. The solution is already mixed for you. All you need to do is place .4 milliliters (about 14 drops) under your tongue and hold them there for a few minutes before every meal. (The reason you don’t simply swallow is because homeopathic remedies like HCG drops are easily destroyed in the stomach before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.)

In addition, most HCG drops are manufactured in the U.S. Not only will you not have the expense of having them shipped from outside the country and the risk of having the package seized by Customs, you have the peace of mind knowing that you are getting a quality product from a licensed laboratory that must operate according to FDA rules and regulation. Furthermore, the product must also meet HPUS (Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States) standards.

Oral HCG Weight Loss: Managing Hunger on the Program

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Oral HCG weight loss regulates your hypothalamus, allowing it to function properly and burn the excess fat that causes obesity. As this extra fat is burned, it provides your body with the extra nutrients and calories it needs. So even though you stick to a low calorie diet on the plan, you should not feel hungry between meals.

Having said that, some dieters report occasional hunger pains while on the program. Usually these feelings of hunger can be traced to a dietary or emotional issue, and not the failure of the hormone to do its job properly. If you are feeling hungry, check to make sure you aren’t making the following mistakes:

Are you using artificial sweeteners?

The protocol only calls for stevia, an all-natural sweetener, on the program. If you are using aspartame, splenda, saccharine, or anything else these chemicals can actually send hunger signals to the brain. Switch to stevia and see if the hunger pains abate.

Did you “load” properly?

Before you go on the low-calorie diet, you are supposed to “load” on high-calorie and high-fat foods for a couple of days. If you did not consume enough fat during this time, you may feel hungry while you are on the VCLD. This period is crucial because it gets the body ready to access those abnormal fat stores.

Are you really hungry?

It’s common to mistake emotional eating for real physical hunger. Before you start eating, spend a few moments and assess your feelings. Why are you craving food? A huge part of this plan is learning proper eating behaviors, and cutting out emotional eating is a crucial element. If you are an emotional eater, we have resources available to help you.

Are you consuming caffeine?

Saying no to caffeine is another big part of the program. If you are consuming caffeine on a regular basis, it will prompt feelings of hunger. It is easier for some people to slowly step down the amount of caffeine in their systems rather than go cold turkey. So switch from coffee to green tea and slowly stagger the green tea down until you are drinking only the herbal teas we recommend.

Are you sneaking in exercise?

Exercise is ly forbidden on the plan. Since you are consuming very few calories, you should not burn them up by working out. The hypothalamus is learning to function properly and will not burn your lean muscle tissue. So don’t worry, you will still have muscle tone even if you don’t hit the gym for 40 days.

HCG Diet Plans Make the Whole Body Healthy

Friday, February 19th, 2010

If you’re looking at HCG diet plans as a way to lose weight, I’ve got good news for you. Using the oral HCG diet will not only help you lose weight, but can, if you let it, help you make yourself an overall healthier, happier person.

The key is to use the diet to learn how to modify your habits and shape them into an altogether healthier lifestyle. You also want to get certain supplements to give your body the support it needs to become healthier—which will also result in helping you to feel better, both on the diet and off of it.

Herbal Supplements
Vitamin B-12 is essential. B-12 deficiency is a prominent problem in the population, especially among people who are trying to be healthier, namely vegetarians and vegans, because we get our B-vitamins largely from meat.

While the HCG diet is not asking you to become a vegetarian, it is asking you to eat less of certain foods, and you need to make sure you’re still getting all of your vitamins and minerals. B-vitamins provide energy and help your body combat stress, among other valuable and vital functions, such as proper digestion and efficiency in burning calories (hence the energy). Vitamin B-3 lessens sugar cravings, and B-6 boosts metabolism.

Multivitamins
A multivitamin is also important, because obesity and nutritional deficiency are actually different aspects of the same condition. It’s very possible, especially in a society so drawn to fast food, to be both obese and malnourished, simultaneously. Your body is not getting enough of what it needs, so it tells you to eat more, but when you’re just eating more foods that don’t contain the vitamins and minerals you need, you’re not doing much good.

HCG is about teaching you the foods to eat to get what your body needs. The supplements to take to, well, supplement what it’s hard to get enough of even through nutritional foods. Making your whole body healthy means it’s not just about what the scale says—it’s about how you feel.

Homeopathic Oral and Injectable HCG: How it is Derived

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Many who are interested in Dr. Simeons’ diet are understandably curious about the origins homeopathic oral and injectable HCG. Short for “Human Chorionic Gonadotrapin,” it is really nothing more than chains of amino acid molecules that form specific proteins and are the basis of a biochemical substance known as a hormone. This hormone, in turn, regulates a number of different physiological processes.

The story behind what has become the basis of the most successful weight loss method in recent history is a fascinating one however and a story you should be familiar with.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on the “Law of Similars.” This means that a given set of symptoms can best be treated by administering a small amount of whatever caused the symptoms in the first place, or something that produced similar symptoms.

One of the great historical examples of homeopathy is how the vaccine for smallpox was developed in the late 18th century. Dr. Edward Jenner found that by infecting patients with a small dose of a similar disease, cowpox, the patient would become immune to smallpox.

The basic principles of modern homeopathy were developed by one of Jenner’s contemporaries, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He based his work on the writings of the ancient
Greek physician Hipokrat?s of Kos (arguably the “Father of Western Medicine”) over twenty-five centuries ago. Living in what is today Germany, Hahnemann was largely responsible for making homeopathic medicine what it is today.

How Homeopathic HCG is Prepared

You may know that HCG is a byproduct of pregnancy. Its main function is to protect the fetus as it gestates in the womb. It should come as no surprise then to learn that HCG is extracted from the urine of pregnant women. This is not a cause for alarm. Urine itself is sterile and used in many cultures as a disinfectant, and the hormone is thoroughly separated out during the manufacturing process. (You may be interested to know that home early pregnancy tests are designed to detect traces of HCG in urine. But homeopathic is not design to register a positive on a pregnancy test.)

A homeopathic remedy is prepared by diluting a biochemical substance – in this case, a human hormone with water several times and mixing it thoroughly and forcefully. Over several dilutions, the compound undergoes what is known as “potentization;” the molecules of the original substance leave a biochemical imprint on the water molecules. A small amount of alcohol is added as a preservative.

Oral or Injections?

While many sources online offer injectable HCG, we believe you are much better off getting oral HCG instead. HCG drops can be obtained from reliable U.S. laboratories that are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition, these U.S. based labs must meet product quality standards that have been established under HPUS, the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. This is your best indication and assurance that you are receiving a fresh, potent product that will help you in achieving your own weight loss goals.

Finding the HCG Diet: Direct Sources

Friday, February 19th, 2010

The first rule of thumb when ordering the HCG diet direct from a manufacturer is to get HCG drops rather than injectable HCG. The second rule is to know your source and get it from a U.S. lab rather than from an overseas seller.

Buyer Beware

Since the beginning of the Internet almost twenty years ago, there has been no shortage of con artists and scammers whose only intent is to separate you from your hard-earned cash. It is true that Internet retailing is self-policing. Any website that is regularly ripping people off does not stay in business for very long, because word gets around ly. Still, there is a bit of lag time during which such unethical individuals are able to victimize a fair number of unwary people.

When shopping for the HCG diet there are two signs on any website that will tell you whether or not you should be doing business with them: one is the BBB (Better Business Bureau) Online and the other is TrustE, which tells you that the website has measures in place to protect your personal information.

What Not To Get

Many websites that offer this weight loss remedy advertise complete HCG “kits” that include needle syringes. These are invariably web businesses based in Mexico, Thailand or some other remote country where manufacturers of homeopathic remedies are poorly regulated.

Questionable quality of this product aside, if you attempt to obtain needle syringes in the U.S. without a doctor’s prescription, you may be asking for a great deal of trouble, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who is familiar with the so-called “War on Drugs.”

If you don’t want to risk DEA officers banging down your door, avoid injectable HCG.

HCG Drops Are Ideal

When you order HCG drops from a domestic lab, you are much more likely to get exactly what you pay for in a form that is legal and very easy to use and much less expensive. Instead of mixing up a compound, measuring it into a syringe and sticking yourself three times a day, all you need to do is place a few drops under your tongue and wait a few minutes while the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. (You cannot swallow it directly, or the medication will be rendered ineffective by stomach acid before it can be absorbed.)

There’s no easier or more economical way to get the HCG diet direct.

What Does the HCG Weight Loss Diet All-Inclusive Kit Include?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

If you’ve decided to use the oral HCG diet to lose weight, you need an HCG weight loss diet all-inclusive kit. What would this kit include, besides the HCG itself?

Recipe Guide
Well, you need to know what to eat, so your kit should include a recipe guide. It’s important to get creative, to make even weight loss a day interesting, because getting bored with what you’re eating is going to lead to a lack of commitment to the diet. Remaining positive by getting creative will promote energy and enthusiasm.

A recipe guide will give you a place to start. Otherwise, you’re fighting blind, flailing around in the dark, whatever other analogies you want to use.

Nutritional Supplements
Next, you need other nutritional supplements to support your system. Vitamin B-12 is a must. B-vitamins are energy boosters, because they convert the carbohydrates in your food into glucose, your body’s preferred source of energy. B-vitamins also help to ward off the negative effects of stress. When under pressure or feeling deficient, B-vitamins are taken from the nervous system to help keep you going.

You need to put B-vitamins back into your body on a daily basis just due to the stresses of everyday living. But you especially need them when your body is under any added stress, which dieting always is on some level. It is believed that a high number of people suffer from vitamin B-12 deficiency.

High-risk groups include alcoholics, vegetarians, elderly people, people with compromised immune function or absorption problems, and people with dementia. If you’re deficient in B-12, you might feel tired, have impaired immune and/or neurological function, and even suffer from mild dementia. Why put yourself through that when a simple daily supplement can prevent it?

Other beneficial supplements that your kit ought to include would be a thyroid function enhancer, a hormone balancer (specifically for women), and a liver function enhancer/colon cleanser. A remote physician consultation should be available upon request.

If you’re wondering where you can find such a kit, I suggest HCG Diet Direct.com.

Where to Order HCG – And What To Get

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

If you go online and do a casual search for the term “order HCG,” you’re going to bring up at least two million results. This can leave one a little overwhelmed and wondering where to start and above all, who to trust. There are many stories about people who got thoroughly scammed when they attempted to buy HCG online, and naturally, you do not want to be one of them.

Rule One: Trust No-one

You got that right: don’t trust anyone online when it comes to the HCG diet or anything else until you have checked them out thoroughly. If you cannot find any background on a website that is attempting to sell the HCG weight-loss treatment, there is probably a good reason: namely, they are hiding something.

Any reputable lab or manufacturer of HCG is going to have credentials and testimonials where they can be readily accessed. Two things to look for on the website right away are the BBB (Better Business Bureau) Online logo and the TrustE seal. These should both be clickable links that take you to those respective websites. You will be able to then see that the business is dedicated to ethical practices and whether or not they have incurred any penalties or drawn any complaints. The TrustE seal indicates that the seller is dedicated to keeping customers’ private information confidential.

Rule Two: Avoid Injectable HCG

The only places in the U.S. where this form of HCG is available legally are at a handful of weight loss clinics that charge a veritable fortune for their services.

Now, when you first do your Internet search, most of what you will see right away are websites offering “legal” HCG injections. These are full “HCG kits” that include syringes. The websites are located in foreign countries for the most part and neglect to inform you that in the U.S., an individual may not legally possess needle syringes without a prescription from a licensed physician.

The other danger here is that foreign labs that produce homeopathic remedies are not well-regulated. You have no real assurance of product quality, or if what you are getting is even real HCG.

The Best Places to Order HCG

You’re most reliable source is a domestic laboratory in the U.S. that is selling the liquid form of HCG. Any laboratory engaged in the manufacture of homeopathic remedies in the U.S. must be licensed, hire only qualified workers, and follow regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition, such industries in the U.S. must meet quality standards for their products set forth under HPUS (Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States of the United States).

You’ll find this form of HCG is not only of better quality and more effective, but much easier to use and it will cost less as well. You will not need needles or mixing containers to deal with every day. Just place HCG drops under your tongue, wait a few minutes before swallowing (stomach acid will render the medication ineffective) and you’re done!

Be Careful of Cheap HCG

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

You’ll find nearly three-quarters of a million websites on the Internet that are all-too-happy to offer you “cheap HCG” and HCG dieting programs. If you are not careful however, that cut-rate product could turn out to be very expensive.

As the antique Romans would say, caveat emptor.

What’s Wrong With It?

Most discount or “cheap” HCG drops, products and programs are actually HCG injections. They are often made in countries like Thailand, Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia. Now, there is much to admire about those countries. Basic health care services are far more accessible there than in the U.S. However, the pharmaceutical industries in such countries are barely regulated (which may be why their hospitals and doctors import drugs from the U.S.).

The form of these HCG weight loss treatments is also problematic. Injections are not simply undesirable. They are actually illegal to obtain without a prescription in the U.S., not necessarily because of the HCG itself, but because of the syringes. Virtually no state allows ordinary people to obtain needle syringes without a legitimate doctor’s prescription. If you are familiar with draconian American drug laws, you should understand why this is true.

Now, if you must have HCG injections, there are a handful of clinics that are legally offering HCG weight loss treatments through injection. However, they charge a very steep price for this service (which is a simple function of the Law of Supply and Demand).

On the other hand, it is very easy to purchase safe, legal, good quality homeopathic HCG weight loss programs that replace HCG injections with homeopathic HCG weight loss remedies in the form of oral drops, and they are not that expensive.

Why Homeopathic HCG Weight Loss Programs Using Oral Drops Are Superior:

When you purchase HCG drops from a reputable online source, you can have several assurances that you will get an effective, high-quality product for your money, provided that you have done some due diligence ahead of time.

First of all, look for a U.S. company. There are several licensed homeopathic laboratories in Missouri and Colorado with excellent reputations. These labs are tightly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and must adhere to standards established under the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).

Secondly, look for two links on the website. One of these will be to the Better Business Bureau Online and the other will be for TrustE. The former will take you to a website where you can research the company, find out if there have been complaints or issues, etc. The latter means your confidential payment information and personal data is protected.

Following these suggestions will help ensure that you do not wind up being scammed when shopping for cheap HCG weight loss programs.

Order HCG from HCG Diet Direct

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

With any type of dietary supplement, anything you’re going to put into your body, you want to be careful about where you get it. That’s why, if you’re starting the HCG diet, you should order HCG from HCG Diet Direct.

Not only is their product high quality, a unique blend with added natural energy enhancers and appetite suppressants from a long-established manufacturer of FDA-approved homeopathic remedies, but their service, their commitment to their clients, is inspiring.

Additional Benefits with Ordering from HCG Diet Direct
In addition to the HCG itself, they offer recipe guides, live online support, and remote doctor consultations. They encourage past and current clients to share their own recipes and stories. Visiting their site, you feel like you’re among friends. Their belief in their product and its ability to change people’s lives is strong and clear. Their passion shines through. I personally believe strongly in different types of energy, and positive energy radiates from HCG Diet Direct.

Positive energy is what you need to change your health and thus your life. Maybe I’m being corny, but I know the truth of the importance of optimism from my own experience. You need a strong support team. You need fresh ideas of ways to make a piece of chicken interesting and yet still healthy, of easing cravings for apple pie with a fresh apple and some cinnamon.

You need to know about how necessary B-12 supplements are to the success of the diet, and what other supplements you can get also through HCG Diet Direct to help you along.

Thyroid Supplement
The thyroid supplement is important because a healthy thyroid promotes weight loss and a better metabolism, thus decreasing the chances of gaining weight back. The hormone balancer, formulated by a registered master herbalist specifically for women, promotes overall well-being, including increasing energy and emotional stability. This could also help combat emotional food cravings. I think the benefits of the colon cleanser/liver function formula probably speak for themselves…

HCG Diet Direct is concerned with the health of the whole body, not just losing weight. Let them help you on your journey!

The Lowdown on HCG Prices

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

When it comes to HCG, prices can vary a great deal and this is just one of the reasons why it makes sense to shop around. There are also at present four different forms of this weight loss treatment:

HCG injections
HCG drops
HCG strips
HCG skin cream

Of these four, we recommend HCG drops over the other forms. HCG injections are not legal in the U.S. except by prescription (some expensive weight loss clinics offer it). HCG skin cream that can be applied to the skin, it is a new product that has yet to be proven in real-world applications, and HCG strips are actually home pregnancy tests that won’t do you much good at all when it comes to weight loss.

“Cheap” Does Not Always Mean Inexpensive

There is always a certain amount of risk when doing business on the Internet, and this is especially true when looking for a reliable source of HCG. As the popularity and demand of a product like this grows ly, there are many scammers and con artists who are always willing and able to take advantage of the fact.

This is especially true of foreign websites that offer complete HCG “kits” for what appears to be an unrealistically low price. At best, they may never deliver the product (or it may get seized by customs, since injectable HCG is legally available only by prescription). At worst, you may get something that is expired, tainted, or not true HCG at all.

Savings on HCG

This said, it is still possible to fine reliable sources of HCG drops online, and this will cost you substantially less than going through a physician and getting a prescription for the injectable form. However, beware if the price appears to be too good to be true, because it usually is.

Any website that boasts that they can undersell anyone by a large margin is usually lying. Consider that there are certain costs associated with doing business in the first place. If the price seems ridiculously low, how are those costs being covered?

Ask Others

There are numerous online communities of dieters such as yourself who have used HCG for some time. These people are very good about sharing their experiences with HCG, and often have the best idea of where to get a quality product for a reasonable price. You may also look around at other HCG blogs by individuals who have been on the program.

Of course, the best sources are people you actually know. This shouldn’t be difficult; for the first time in U.S history, more people are overweight than aren’t. Chances are good that someone in your life has been on the HCG diet.

Otherwise, be prepared to do some research. When visiting a website, make certain that there is other contact information, namely a domestic (U.S.) phone number and address. Also look to see whether or not they are a member of the Better Business Bureau Online and subscribe to Trust-E.
