Are There Advantages to Injectable HCG?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

You’re thinking about going on the highly acclaimed HCG diet, and what you want to know is are there advantages to injectable HCG, or is the oral HCG version just as effective?  Why are there two forms anyway, and is one safer than the other?

HCG: Starts with Science
Well, let’s start at the beginning and try to make a long story short, if we can.  Dr. Simeons worked with obese and overweight patients about half a century ago, and throughout the course of his research and extensive study of these patients developed the HCG diet.  When he developed it, it was in injection form.  This form was very expensive and only available through special, exclusive weight loss clinics like the one through which Dr. Simeons himself worked.

The expense and exclusivity of the product developed by Dr. Simeons is the reason that you’ve only started hearing about it pretty recently.  It wasn’t widely available, not to the average Joe or Jane.  The rich and famous had the monopoly, which is one reason why they seemed better able to stay looking so great.  It wasn’t all about the personal trainers, and it definitely wasn’t about superior genes.

Oral HCG through Homeopathy
As homeopathic medicines have started to enjoy wider use and acceptability as valid forms of treatment, a homeopathic version of HCG has been developed.  This is the oral HCG that you’ve heard about.  Because homeopathy dictates diluted versions of the active ingredients, the amount of HCG you receive in a dose is relatively small and thus very safe.  However, studies have shown that it’s still just as effective as the injectable version.

Basically, the reason that there are two versions of HCG, injectable and oral, is that one is old and one is new.  It’s my belief that injectable will soon become obsolete.  There are always those who question change and advancement and who will thus adhere to the injection form as the true and most effective version, but we can’t help that.  Oral HCG is safer, easier and less expensive to obtain, and easier to incorporate into the lives of most of us who don’t enjoy the luxury of the rich and famous.

Why Use HCG Drops for Weight Loss?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

There have to be a million different diets out there, so why use HCG drops for weight loss?  What makes the oral HCG diet stand out so much?

HCG is Natural
Well, the thing about HCG is that, for one thing, it’s all natural.  HCG is produced by the human body, specifically pregnant women, so we’re all born with it in our tissue.  Typically, however, environmental and dietary factors such as chemicals in our foods and too much yeast in our bodies make us lose the HCG with which we’re born.

It is believed that the epidemic of obesity currently being suffered by our country could be a result, whether direct or indirect, of this loss of HCG. Since HCG works with the hypothalamus gland not only to control eating and drinking urges but also to regulate the usage and storage of excess fat by our bodies.  Obesity occurs because the body is storing fat that it should be using, frequently at the expense of muscle and necessary fat deposits.  Obese people often actually suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

Benefits of Oral HCG
Taking oral HCG drops, 14 drops dispensed under the tongue three times a day as recommended by HCG Diet Direct, essentially helps to restore balance in the body.  It prompts the body to use the fat it’s been storing, which may mean redistributing some of that fat to parts of the body that actually need it, such as the bottoms of the feet.

Why take drops rather than injections?  You’ve also heard of HCG injections.  14 drops three times daily seems like a lot!

Well, it’s up to you, but we’ve found that drops tend to be less expensive, easier to get, and easier to use.  With injections, which are typically only available with a prescription, you’re going to be either spending a lot of your time making trips to your doctor or having to plunge a needle deep into your own tissue everyday.   We find that the drops are just as effective and can be more easily incorporated into today’s busy, time-and-money-constrained lifestyles.

Who Needs HCG Weight Loss Clinics?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

When Dr. Simeons first came up with the HCG diet 50 years ago, it was only available in fancy HCG weight loss clinics.   Sure, who wouldn’t like the luxury of an exclusive weight loss clinic?  But let’s be honest:  how many of us can afford the money or the time for that?  So, it’s good news that it’s now possible to purchase HCG online and you don’t even need a prescription.

Drawbacks of a Clinic
Weight loss clinics are not the best way of effecting a real and true lifestyle change anyway. Truth be told, a lifestyle change is really what the HCG diet is all about.  Weight loss clinics take you out of your life, out of your usual environment.  If you’re trying to make new habits that you can incorporate into your life, you need to be in your life to figure out what’s going to work and what’s not.

A weight loss clinic may be all well and good if you’re a movie star.  They’re usually the ones who can afford them. This may be stereotyping a little here, but they don’t seem as tied to structures and schedules as the rest of us are.

Real Life Breaks In
Maybe that’s because money and fame come with a certain degree of power. Power to have a little more say in how your days are spent.  Most of the rest of us are more subject to our employers, our kids’ schedules, our communities in general.  We have to report to work at a certain time, eat lunch at a certain time, and pick the kids up from school or daycare or soccer practice at a certain time, and so on and so on.

Incorporating healthy habits can still be done, but it requires some degree of planning ahead.  The best way of figuring out what you can reasonably work into your day is trial and error, I think.  The HCG diet provides guidelines to help you, and it’s open-ended enough to fit into any schedule if it’s something you truly want to do.

What Does Homeopathic HCG Sublingual Mean?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

If, like me, you were raised on good old-fashioned Western medicine, the words “homeopathic” and “sublingual” may come across as foreign and scary.  Perhaps you’ve heard of HCG injections, but what in the heck is this HCG sublingual?

Homeopathy not so new “new therapy”
The funny thing is that homeopathy has been, in some parts of the world, around much longer than our so-called “old-fashioned” Western medicine.  Basically, it’s about using small amounts of a natural substance that when given in large doses would cause the same symptoms as whatever it is they’re treating—thus stimulating the body’s responses to the ailment.

HCG old hormone new use
HCG works by stimulating the body to burn fat, which ought to be the natural reaction to being overweight or obese. However, in people who suffer from these conditions—particularly obesity—the natural response of burning rather than storing unneeded fat has gotten impeded somehow.  Obese people can often diet and exercise until they’re almost literally blue in the face and not be able to burn that excess abnormal fat.  HCG prompts the body to start burning.

Is it Safe?
So, is HCG safe?  Yes, like all homeopathic medicines when used in accordance with their instructions, HCG in its homeopathic sublingual form is very safe—and certainly safer than most, if not all, other dietary aids on the market.

Homeopathic medicines don’t react with conventional medicines.  The greatest danger when taking homeopathic and conventional remedies concurrently is that the physiologically disruptive effects of the conventional drug on the body will negate the effects of the homeopathic, since the drug will interrupt the body’s natural processes. It won’t react to the homeopathic substance as it normally would.

What is Sublingual?
What, then, does sublingual mean?  Don’t worry—that one’s actually straightforward, too.  It simply means taken under the tongue.  You administer the liquid through a dropper directly under your tongue. Rather than swallowing it, the sublingual method actually causes it to be absorbed more directly into your system, through the tissue in your mouth rather than being subjected to the turmoil of the digestive system.

However strange it may sound, I promise you, it works. But the only way you will know is by trying it today.

Is HCG Safe? Your Questions Answered

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The big unanswered question is: Is HCG Safe? There’s a lot of misinformation out there about the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone and its effect on the human body. In this blog, we attempt to separate myth from fact so you can make an informed decision about the diet program and the hormonal supplements.

Is the hormone FDA approved?

Yes, the hormone has been approved for use by the FDA as an infertility drug. Its use as a weight loss drug is considered “off label.” The practice of prescribing medication “off label” is widely used among physicians.

Since HCG is a drug, it must be manufactured under FDA regulations. In addition to staying compliant with FDA rules, our homeopathic drops are made under the guidelines set forth by the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. The HPUS strictly monitors the manufacture of homeopathic remedies.

Does the hormone have any negative side effects?

There have been a few reported side effects, such as headaches and nausea, with the hormone injections. There have been no reported side effects with the homeopathic drops. In fact, only positive symptoms have been noted, such as increased energy and fewer hunger pains.

Does the hormone react with other drugs?

Because the hormone is not a drug but a natural substance in the body, it does not interfere with your medications in any way. If you take regular medications such as insulin, birth control, or heart medication, the hormone will not reduce the efficacy of these drugs in any way.

Is the hormone safe for use by anyone?

Yes, anyone can use the hormone, male or female. It does not matter how much weight you want to lose, or how old you are. It is generally not recommended for pregnant women, as they naturally produce the hormone during gestation and any “extra” would not make any difference to weight loss. Additionally, the very low calorie diet is not recommended for pregnant women.

How does the hormone work?

The hormone is responsible for regulating a biochemical response in your body. When reserves of the hormone get low, then your body’s natural fat-burning function is seriously impaired. When the hormonal balance is restored by taking oral HCG supplements, then your body regains its ability to burn fat efficiently.

How long can I take the hormone?

We recommend taking the hormone for at least 15 days to get the full restorative effect. Anything lower than that does not fully restore the hormonal balance in your body. We recommend discontinuing use after 45 days, as the efficacy of the hormone supplements drops off drastically after that point.

The hormone and the diet are perfectly safe for use and offer an all-natural, surgery-free alternative to other invasive methods such as bariatric surgery or diet pills. We highly recommend trying it if you have had trouble with yo-yo dieting, as your body’s natural hormonal levels must be restored.

The HCG Diet Program Is Your Key To Weight Loss Success

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

As long as Dr. Simeons’ protocols are followed carefully, the HCG diet program will help you to lose up to two pounds a day. (Most people actually lose one pound a day – but this is still nothing to sneeze at.)

Where HCG Comes From

HCG is an all-natural substance, consisting of chains of amino acids that form proteins. The purpose being to regulate certain metabolic processes in the human body. This is what a hormone is, and in the case of HCG, the main function is to protect the fetus during the gestation process. Not only does HCG regulate overall metabolism, it also prevents the mother’s system from leeching nutrients from her baby and keeps the mother’s immune system from attacking the fetus (which could otherwise happen due to the presence of the father’s DNA).

A baby is born with an abundant supply of HCG, which remains throughout childhood and adolescence. Today’s modern diet with its overly processed foods and chemical adulterants eventually leech all of this HCG out of our bodies by adulthood.

What Happens Then?

If your body is your home, the thermostat is the hypothalamus gland. HCG controls this thermostat. When it is absent and fuel is in short supply, the hypothalamus, instead of accessing the body’s reserve fuel that is carried around the waist and hips, starts cannibalizing the superstructure instead. The first thing to go is muscle tissue, followed by structural fat, such as viscera. It is as if a house started burning its own drywall and framing to maintain heat instead of using the spare fuel tank outside the garage.

Not only that, the rate at which fuel is expended slows down to a crawl. This is what makes a traditional diet so ineffective.

Taking HCG, which is really nothing more than hormone replacement therapy, the hypothalamus is literally reprogrammed to unlock the unsightly fat stores around the belly and hips while maintaining a normal metabolic rate.

Preparations

Dr. Simeons’ protocol calls for two days of abject gluttony, followed by up to forty days of monastic deprivation, eating a mere 500 calories a day from a diet limited to lean meat and vegetables – no potatoes, dairy products, breads or sugars. While this may seem dreadful, while on the HCG you’ll find it is actually quite tolerable – and it’s not forever. Anyone can do anything for forty days.

HCG Diet Dangers: Are There Any?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

One of the big questions with any diet, especially professed miracle diets, is whether or not there are possible dangerous side effects.  So of course people want to know about HCG diet dangers.  It’s supposed to cause miraculous weight loss, but is HCG safe?

HCG Drug Interactions
Is HCG Safe? The simplest answer to this question is yes, HCG is amazingly safe.  In fact, there are no known side effects to taking homeopathic oral HCG.  It does not interact with other drugs, even birth control.  Because HCG is the hormone produced by pregnant women, women often experience high levels of it during pregnancy, which is natural and not the slightest bit dangerous.

Concerns When Pregnant
The only words of caution here would be that pregnant women should not go on the HCG diet and should stop dieting if they become pregnant in the course of the diet.  This is not because HCG is not safe for them, since they’re the ones whose bodies make it, but because pregnant women should never be subject to the calorie restrictions of the HCG diet.  They need far more calories than 500 per day to keep both themselves and their developing babies healthy.

Is It Safe for Men?
The next question is usually, if HCG is made by the bodies of pregnant women, then what happens when men take it?  Don’t worry, boys:  it will not affect you adversely.  In fact, men typically have even more success with the diet than women do, and their masculinity will not be compromised in any way.  HCG is found in all human tissue. It’s just that only pregnant women can make more of it—the rest of us are stuck with the diminishing amount with which we were born.

Of course, it’s not fair to say that homeopathic HCG has no side effects—because it can definitely boast of some positive ones!  People who undergo the HCG diet plan are almost always converted to healthier lifestyles, because part of the program is becoming knowledgeable about nutrition.  Blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels are lowered.

So do your body many favors—try it out.

3 Reasons to Try the HCG Weight Loss Plan

Monday, February 8th, 2010

If you have tried and failed on other diets, then you really must give the HCG weight loss plan a try. Other diets do not address the underlying cause of obesity. Because of this oversight, dieters will only lose weight to a certain point, and then hit a plateau. This leads to a cycle of self-hatred and frustration that has the power to wreck your self-esteem.

Remember: it’s not your fault. It’s the diet’s fault.

1.    You will see rapid results

If you have felt angry with yourself for years, then it’s important to know that you will see rapid–in fact, almost overnight, results with this program. Studies show that you are likely to stick with programs that offer visible results within a very short period of time. That positive reinforcement keeps you motivated. If you have felt stagnated for years, then this quick weight loss will inspire you to change your life.

2.    You will not experience hunger or fatigue

If you have given up on dieting because you always feel hungry or tired on a plan, then you will love this program. As the hormone prompts your body to burn excess fat, you will get all the additional nutrition your body needs. You will never feel hungry between meals even though you are on a low-calorie plan. As your body burns fat it also releases pent-up energy. You will feel rejuvenated. In fact, you may actually feel about 10 years younger.

3.    You will learn to love healthy foods

This program is not about artificial or processed foods. In fact, we strongly urge you to never eat processed foods again.They strip your body of the HCG it needs to function. This plan focuses on lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as herbal teas. You will learn to love these nutritious and wholesome foods. In fact, you will carry this appetite well into the maintenance phase of the plan.

The typical dieter experiences a weight loss averaging a pound per day. We recommend you try the program for at least 15 days to give your body a chance to reset its normal processes, and to discontinue the program after 45 days as the oral HCG loses some efficacy at that point.

Just think of it: you have so much weight to lose and such a short time frame to make it happen. Are you up to the challenge? We think so! Get the figure you’ve always wanted with our diet program in just a few weeks, you deserve it!

HCG Diets: The History and Science

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

HCG Diets have been much in the news in recent years, but in fact, they have been around since the 1950s, when endocrinologist and HCG weight loss pioneer Dr. A.T.W. Simeons began publishing his startling research on the nature of obesity.

The Making of an Endocrinologist

Dr. Simeons was a graduate of the University of Heidelberg Medical School in the 1920s. He chose endocrinology as his specialty, which in turn led to a fascination with tropical diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and leprosy.

Simeons spent several years working at a hospital in Hamburg where the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases were the focus. In 1928, Simeons went to central Africa in order to study these diseases in their own environment. Following this, he accepted a post in India, where he spent most of the next two decades.

During his time working in a Mumbai hospital, Dr. Simeons was able to do intensive research into the effects of undernourishment  on pregnant women as well as patients who because of a defective thyroid gland had gained a great deal of weight. While these might not seem to have any connection, Dr. Simeons came to two startling conclusions:

  • The primary function of HCG was to protect the fetus, preventing the starving mother’s system from leeching nutrients
  • Administering low doses of this hormone to morbidly obese patients caused them to actually lose their excess fat.

Dr. Simeons believed that this excess fat, known as adipose, was a kind of “fuel reserve” that was locked up in a usable form should the person experience a “nutritional emergency.” What happens instead, he wrote in 1954, “is that someone suffering from obesity who attempts weight loss through a low calorie diet will first lose lean muscle tissue, followed by protective visceral fat.”  That “…only as a last resort will the Body yield its abnormal reserves,” adding that “by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned.”

This is the tragedy of those who repeatedly attempt low calorie diets that invariably fail

The Role of HCG

Dr. Simeons concluded that when HCG is reintroduced into the adult system, it recalibrates the hypothalamus gland – the part of the brain than regulates metabolic processes. It helps to unlock adipose deposits, making them available as a fuel source when calories are not otherwise available – as when eating a low calorie diet.
