You have no doubt heard about the amazing weight loss results achieved by people on the HCG diet. However, before embarking on the program yourself, you will want to know as much as possible, and assure yourself of its purity and safety as well as its effectiveness.
You will be glad to know that the domestic manufacture of homeopathic HCG is based on solid scientific principles and governed by strong safety regulations.
How Homeopathy Works
Hipokrat?s of Kos, who lived in Greece during the late 6th and early 5th Centuries BCE is generally considered the “Father of Western Medicine.” This is why virtually all modern medical terms are based on Greek vocabulary.
The word homeopathy is based on two such Greek words, ?????? (“OH-mo-yose”) and ????? (“PAH-those”), which literally means “similar pain.” The idea is that by administering something that produces “pain” or symptoms that are “similar” to those caused by the disease or condition, the result will be a physiological reaction that results in healing.
The basic principles of homeopathic medicine were described by Hipokrat?s, but it was not until a little over 200 years ago that a doctor living in what is now Germany, Samuel Hahnemann, began serious study of homeopathic principles. He found that when the extract of the South American chinona tree was administered to patients suffering from malaria, it produced malaria-like symptoms – and the condition itself cleared up and patients began to recover.
The Production of a Homeopathic Remedy
Homeopathic remedies are manufactured through a process that is known as potentization. The substance from which the homeopathic medication is derived is placed into a series of containers in which it is diluted and thoroughly blended again and again. Eventually, the original extract is virtually absent. However, it has left a chemical “imprint” on the water molecules, so the essence remains.
What results is a medication that produces the desired symptoms, triggering a physiological process that leads to healing and recovery from the disorder being targeted.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) made from an extract obtained in the urine of pregnant women. (The urine itself is sterile and actually has antiseptic properties). Pregnant women produce HCG in large amounts during the gestation period. According to Dr. A. Simeon, who studied expectant mothers and obese patients in India during the 1950s, the hormone’s function is to protect the fetus by preventing the mother’s body from stealing nutrients should she suffer from a shortage of food.
Homeopathic remedies are governed by the same FDA regulations as other other-the-conter remedies, using manufacturing guidelines specified in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).
