Why Buy Oral HCG?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Simply put, it’s easier to buy oral HCG and easier to use it if you plan to do the HCG diet on your own. Getting injections by yourself is an uncertain process. Legally, you cannot do this without a prescription, and should not be taking HCG injections without a doctor’s supervision.

This said there is no reason not to take HCG injections, if you have the time and the money to do it. Such clinics are expensive however, and their services are not always covered by health insurance plans.

HCG Diet Clinics

In fact, we operate our own HCG weight loss clinic in Mesa, Arizona where you can receive injections and work with a qualified physician. There are also weight loss clinics offering HCG treatments in Seattle, Chicago and other major cities across the U.S. Chances are good that there is one within a day’s drive of where you live.

If such a journey is not possible, then oral HCG is probably the best solution for you. It is still possible for you to consult with our staff physician over the Internet for a nominal fee if you still have questions and concerns. In fact, regardless of whether you’re using drops or injections, we recommend that you speak with a physician at least once in order to make sure you are following Dr. Simeon’s protocols correctly and getting the most benefit from the HCG program.

Using HCG Oral Drops

Oral HCG is a homeopathic remedy.  It is not like a medication that you simply swallow. The compounds contained in a homeopathic medication are fragile and can easily be destroyed by excessive heat and the digestive acids excreted in the stomach. This is why HCG drops are placed under the tongue and held there while the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. The usual dosage is 4 milliliters, or approximately 15 drops, administered three times a day prior to meals.

Once this medication is in your bloodstream, it works in two ways. First, it breaks down the nutrient and calorie-rich excess fat deposits (known as “adipose”) into a form that is more readily metabolized. Secondly, it resets your body’s thermostat by re-regulating the hypothalamus gland in such a way that your metabolic rate is not lowered when on the 500 calorie diet.

How HCG Treatments Can Change the World

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I believe that HCG treatments can change the world.  More specifically, I’m talking about taking oral, sublingual HCG to treat and ultimately cure obesity, rather than the injection variety that up until recently had been the only available form, and only available to those able to pay a lot for it.

The HCG Secret is Out
HCG was what the stars and the heirs and heiresses used to go to their exclusive clinics to get.  It was their big, expensive secret.  They didn’t want everyone to know about it, because then everyone might have the key to looking as great as they did.  Not to mention feeling great, but I’m not sure how often the rich and famous actually feel great.  Money doesn’t buy happiness, you know.

I’m not sure anything can actually buy happiness, but I’ll tell you what I think leads to it:  good health.  Why wouldn’t the stars’ good health make them happy, then?  Maybe you have to have the propensity to appreciate the little things, everyday joys and pleasures. Enjoy things like the way cinnamon sprinkled on an apple, warmed a little in the microwave, can taste astonishingly like apple pie, but make your body feel so much better, so much more energetic, than real apple pie ever could.

Health and Happiness Go Hand-in-Hand
It’s a chicken or egg question, really it’s hard to say which leads to the other, health or happiness, but I tend to think that they usually just walk hand-in-hand, providing support for each other.  That’s why I think the HCG diet plan, the oral version available to all of us normal people, could change the world. It could actually create a population of happy, healthy people, people who smile and wave at each other. Replacing unhealthy people who lay on their car horns and waving their fists out the windows while their blood pressures mount alarmingly toward the breaking points.

It’s an idealistic vision, I admit.  But the fact that the HCG diet is giving hope to people who before didn’t have any gives me hope that it is a vision that could be someday realized, person by person, family by family, friend by friend.

How Homeopathic HCG Treatments Affect Current Medication

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

While HCG treatments require a doctor’s prescription and supervision in some states, it is not difficult to purchase your own HCG on the World Wide Web. It is even safe to do, as long as you know exactly where it is coming from.

This said, many people have successfully used HCG on their own without the involvement and expense of a physician. You can be among them, but it is smart to educate yourself beforehand regarding treatment options as well as potential side effects. While extremely rare, these are known to occur. In addition, you’ll want to be certain about any potential drug interactions if you are currently taking any prescriptions for other conditions.

Options When It Comes To HCG

By ordering online, you can avoid the expense of a doctor’s examination, which will include very expensive lab tests. As long as you are in good health otherwise, HCG is perfectly safe when purchased from a licensed laboratory operated by qualified personnel.

It is important that you order the oral HCG drops rather than the injectable form and obtain this from a domestic source. HCG manufactured in the U.S. is subject to FDA regulation and oversight. In addition it is subject to the safety standards established by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia, which governs the manufacture of homeopathic remedies in the U.S.

It is true that HCG is normally used as a fertility treatment, and the FDA does not approve its use as a diet medication. However, all this means is that HCG treatments as part of a weight loss program constitute “off-label” use, which is very common in the medical profession.

Drug Interactions

Now, if you are using any kind of prescription drug for a chronic condition or some kind of drug therapy, it is highly advisable to discuss your plans to use HCG with a qualified physician. There is only one currently known interaction when it comes to HCG, and that is with the pituitary gland medication ganirelix.

Some women receive injections of this drug in order to control pituitary secretions. One of the effects of HCG is hyper stimulation of the ovaries (this is why it is effective as a fertility treatment). This may interfere with the action of ganirelix as well as some oral contraceptives. An adjusted dose may be necessary, and again, this requires consultation with a physician.

Known Side Effects

A very small percentage of those who take HCG may experience side effects such as swelling and water retention.

Some side effects can manifest themselves in psychological ways:

  • moodiness
  • irritability
  • depression

In addition, an overall feeling of restlessness or nervousness can occur among individuals who are sensitive to hormonal changes.

More serious side effects may include:

  • undefined pain in the hips and/or abdominal area
  • nausea
  • diarrhea
  • breathing difficulty
  • headache
  • urinary difficulties

It is important to advise a physician and discontinue the use of HCG if you experience these side effects.

Exploring HCG Treatments

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

If you have done any research into the dieting industry then you are sure to have come across HCG treatments, which are for good reason all the rage these days.  HCG treatments provide dieters with perhaps the greatest potential to lose a significant amount of weight in only a very little amount of time.  Before you rush out and jump into HCG dieting, however, it would be helpful to understand that there are different methods available.  Modern development in HCG technology has led to an era where HCG can be taken in several different forms. You would be wise to choose a route of administration that is most suitable for your likings.

HCG was first introduced in a solution that could only be injected.  This method of administration is still available today but it has its many downfalls.  HCG shots are expensive and can be uncomfortable to receive.  The HCG shots have to be taken each and every day, and they are only provided at HCG clinics where a qualified physician or physician’s assistance can administer them.  This also means that getting HCG shots is time consuming, as making daily trips to the clinic takes a considerable amount of time.

Perhaps the best way to take HCG is in its oral solution.  This method eliminates the hassle and the discomfort of the HCG injections.  And oral HCG is just as effective as HCG shots, so you will lose none of the benefits from taking it orally.

If you are ready to begin losing as much as a pound a day by taking oral HCG, then visit HCG Diet Direct today.

HCG Treatments Used With a Low Calorie Diet to Achieve Weight Loss

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Ever since Dr. Simeons, a British born endocrinologist, first demonstrated the effects of HCG treatments when used with a low calorie diet to achieve healthy weight loss in 1954, dieters have sought out this powerful method. In the past the necessity for injections made HCG treatments cost prohibitive for the average person, but now with the popularity of oral HCG supplements things are beginning to change.

The HCG diet consists of combining a very low calorie diet with supplements of the Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin hormone. Technically, the Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin does not promote weight loss; that is the function of the caloric reduction. The HCG treatments are intended to compel the loss of fat stores that the body instantly protects during periods of reduced caloric consumption.

The plan is designed to produce one to two pounds of fat loss per day, and the dieter must have this much fat to lose. It is only effective for periods of less than a month at a time due to the low dosage, so it requires about 30 or 40 pounds of body fat to become a rational weight loss option. Also, exercise is not a part of the diet.

The low caloric intake is difficult at first, but it gets easier. By losing fat rather than lean muscle tissue, your metabolic rate will still be functioning normally after you return to a normal diet.

You may decide to restart the program again if you have more than 40 pounds to lose, but you may also find that activities such as aerobic exercise are much easier without the additional fat and find weight loss to be much more achievable after the jumpstart that this diet program provides. Some will find that repeating the program is the best way to lose additional weight, especially if they are extremely overweight, but for others the option will be there to go a different way.
