Can’t Get HCG Injections? Try Oral HCG

Friday, April 9th, 2010

HCG injections work very well, but admittedly are not for everyone. It is why many people turn to oral HCG instead.  Aside from the discomfort of taking injections (which are ultimately self-administered), HCG shots require a doctor’s prescription – and relatively few physicians outside of specialty diet clinics will write such a prescription. Even doctors in such clinics (which are located in most large cities) will require a full physical examination and blood tests.

It is a good idea to make sure you have no issues that could compromise your health; for example, if you are pregnant, you should definitely not be taking HCG in any form until you are done nursing. In fact, you shouldn’t even be dieting; the fetus at this stage needs all the nourishment it can get. There are also some medications that may interact with HCG; you should discuss the HCG diet with a licensed doctor beforehand if you are taking anything for a chronic condition.

This said, homeopathic HCG drops are a safe, highly effective way to take advantage of this remarkable weight loss treatment. They are also less expensive and can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription. If you have questions or concerns about HCG drops, you can speak with anyone on our diet response team, or for under $35, purchase a telephone consultation with our own staff physician, Dr. Willis.

It’s So Easy

The oral formulation of HCG is extremely easy to use – and as in the case of most forms of hormone replacement therapy (which is what the HCG program actually is), a very small amount goes an extraordinarily long way. In order to get the full benefits of HCG while on the low calorie diet, you need to use no more than four-tenths of a milliliter (about 15 drops) before every meal.

Keep in mind that HCG drops should not be swallowed directly. There’s no harm in it, but the delicate chemical structure of homeopathic remedies is destroyed in the stomach due to the action of digestive acids and enzymes; this renders the active substance useless for all intents and purposes. For this reason, all homeopathic remedies – including oral HCG – is placed under the tongue, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream within a few minutes.

Quality Assurance

The HCG products sold through HCG Diet Direct are made by licensed U.S. laboratories staffed by trained, qualified professionals. The product meets or exceeds quality standards established by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), and the facilities follow regulations of the Food and Drug Administration.

This is the best reason to order your HCG drops through HCG Diet Direct, in addition to our high level of customer service and support.

Injectable HCG: Advantages and Drawbacks

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Many people believe that injectable HCG is the most effective form of this weight loss treatment. This may in fact be true for certain individuals; however, for most people, Homeopathic HCG formula drops work just as well. Here are some facts about HCG injections that may help you in making an informed decision on the issue.

Monitoring and Support

The biggest attraction for most people who choose HCG injections over the drops is the close medical attention they receive. Legally, the injectable form of HCG in the U.S. is available only by prescription. This means you must go to a physician’s office—or more likely, a licensed diet clinic, since most general practitioners who are unfamiliar with the HCG weight loss method are hesitant to prescribe HCG.  The FDA has not officially approved it for this purpose, though this is nothing to be concerned about; HCG has many other medical uses, and doctors frequently prescribe medications “off-label” for a wide variety of reasons.

Before you receive HCG injections, you will undergo a physical examination to ensure that you are in good health otherwise; the doctor will most likely wish to run some blood tests as well. All of this is for your protection; individuals with certain conditions or taking certain medications should not receive HCG injections.  However, this is something that only your doctor can determine.

When you get your HCG injections by prescription through a licensed, qualified doctor, you have the assurance that you’re getting a safe, effective product. This is not the case for “HCG kits” often offered for sale online that include syringes. You should definitely avoid these, as they are often put together overseas and shipped to the U.S. by unlicensed, unqualified operations putting out products that may be outdated or even tainted.

The Alternative

Of course, getting HCG injections legally and safely is expensive, and even if you have insurance, most health coverage plans do not cover HCG treatments. This means that you will have to bear all costs, and these can be considerable.

At HCG Diet Direct, we offer low-cost alternatives to people who wish to experience the benefits of HCG but might not be able to come to our Arizona clinic. Our homeopathic HCG weight loss formula has been just as effective for the treatment of obesity as the injections, with two additional advantages:

  • the cost is much lower
  • the product can be purchased without a prescription

When you purchase an HCG Weight Loss Program through our website, you also get unlimited email support as well as full, detailed instructions, a book of sample menus and a food shopping guide. For a small fee (under $35), you can also get a one-on-one consultation with our own staff physician on any issue related to your HCG weight Loss Program.

For most people, the choice between HCG injections and homeopathic HCG weight Loss formula is a matter of personal preference and comfort. If you have any questions or are wondering which form of HCG is best for you, feel free to contact us and a response member team will reply within 24 hours.

Is HCG Safe For Weight Loss?

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

It’s a question we get from time to time. “Is HCG safe?” The simple, straightforward answer is yes. The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone has been used for weight loss since the 1950s, although it has only recently become widely available in the form of inexpensive homeopathic drops. Several years ago, HCG injections were the only form available. It was quite expensive, and as now, required a prescription and physician supervision.  HCG drops, on the other hand, can be purchased readily without a prescription.

More Than a Weight Loss Treatment

HCG has other medical uses as well. It has long been a standard treatment for couples with fertility issues. As a gonadotropin (a sex and reproduction-related hormone), it is used to both stimulate egg production in the female and increase sperm count in the male, making conception much more likely.

It is also used to treat boys who for some reason do not start puberty when they reach the age of 12 or 13. HCG injections can usually start the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as descended testicles, facial and body hair and a lower voice.

Most recently, HCG has been identified as a tumor marker by oncologists. It was discovered that cancer cells excrete minute amounts of this hormone, much in the same way that the fetus does in the early stages of pregnancy – and possibly for the same reasons. It turns out that that during the initial gestation period, HCG acts as a type of immune system suppressant – sort of a natural anti-rejection drug – that prevents the mother’s immune system from attacking the fetus.

HCG may also be part of the reason that immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer has been thus far unsuccessful; part of the challenge here has been the fact that antibodies do not “see” or recognize cancer cells as a foreign pathogen. In any event, it is possible that HCG may play a part in finding new ways to treat cancer; at present, it is useful to pathologists in the diagnosis of this disorder, which is often difficult to detect in its early stages.

Who Should Not Have HCG

We are committed to providing our customers with the safest and most reliable weight loss products – but we place the health and well-being of patients above all.

If you are pregnant or nursing, you cannot be on the HCG diet. Although HCG can help a woman to conceive, HCG during pregnancy is known to increase the risk of birth defects. Pregnancy is always a bad time to be attempt weight loss in any event, since the baby depends on the mother for all the nourishment it can get.  If you are currently pregnant and considering the HCG diet, you must wait until you give birth and the child is weaned before you can go on the HCG diet.

Likewise, if you are trying to avoid becoming pregnant, you should be aware that HCG will increase your chances of conception (it is a fertility treatment, after all). HCG fertility treatments can also result in multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)

People who experienced precocious puberty (early onset adolescence) or who have had an endocrine-related cancer (such as prostate cancer) should not take HCG.

How to Get HCG Direct Into Your System

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

People who are considering the HCG diet often wonder about the best way to get HCG direct into their system and effectively. Most believe that HCG shots are the best way to do this, while others find that HCG drops work best for them. Others swear by HCG pills.

Which of these is the most effective, and which one should you have?

Avoid Pills

Of the three main ways to take HCG, pills are the least effective. There is nothing inherently wrong with HCG when taken in tablet form, except that it probably won’t work well for you – assuming that it works at all.

In most types of hormone therapy, it’s best to avoid absorption through the digestive tract, because the digestive enzymes in the stomach will destroy them very ly. Hormones are a form of protein, chemically not very different that a piece of meat or fish. According to a 1977 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, HCG pills lose between 40 and 90% of their active ingredient when they go through the stomach. You may get some benefit, but it will be greatly reduced.

In addition, HCG pills are expensive – and you may wind up having to take them for a much longer period of time before they have any effect.

About Injections

HCG injections are a highly effective way to get the medication into your system. However, these require a prescription from a physician, and many general practitioners will not write such prescriptions – if only because they don’t know a great deal about HCG as a weight loss treatment (it has long been a common treatment for infertility). In order to get such a prescription, you will most likely need to go to a weight loss clinic that offers this option.

All of this can add to the expense considerably, of course – and for many people, shots are uncomfortable. While on the HCG diet of course, you will need to take three injections a day.

The Advantage of HCG Drops

When placed under the tongue (this is a standard way of taking homeopathic medications) HCG gets into the bloodstream within a few minutes. In addition, HCG drops are inexpensive, and you can order yours through our website using our secure server.

The best part is that HCG drops are very easy to use and can be taken right away.

HCG Sale Prices and Sources

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

It pays to do some shopping around in order to find the best HCG sale prices, but remember that there is also the issue of product quality and also legality. It’s the major reason we recommend that you go through HCGDietDirect.com, as you can buy with confidence and assurance that you are receiving an effective product.

Why Buy From Us

When people first hear about the HCG diet, they usually want to dive in head-first. This is understandable. The HCG program is usually not the first diet that overweight people have turned to. More often, there has been a long history of frustration and failure (and by the way, if this has been the case for you, don’t feel bad – it’s not your fault. Download and read Dr. Simeon’s paper, Pounds and Inches, available elsewhere on this site).

Regardless of how disappointed you have been with other diets, it is important not to rush into anything. Take time to learn as much as you can.

HCG and the Law

Depending on which state you live in, it may be difficult to get HCG, particularly HCG injections. Even if you are able to order HCG injections directly, it will be necessary for you to get a doctor’s prescription for the syringes due to the stringent drug laws in the U.S.

One of the problems here is that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved HCG as a weight loss treatment, although it has been used by fertility clinics for many years. Use of HCG as a weight loss treatment is an example of “off-label” use, which is not at all unusual in the medical profession and nothing to be concerned about. Nonetheless, some doctors may be reluctant to prescribe HCG.

The alternative is homeopathic drops, which you can obtain easily through our website. These are manufactured in the U.S. under strict guidelines and quality standards by reputable homeopathic laboratories.

Knowing Your Source

Be wary of any site offering HCG for an absurdly low price, particularly if there is no physical address and phone number listed on the website. Another red flag is a Hotmail or Gmail address. The company should have its own e-mail address consistent with its Internet domain.

These “companies” are most likely scam artists who are out to make a fast buck. It is true that Internet commerce is self-policing and that news of such scams gets around ly. So these kinds of people do not stay in business long, but you can still lose your money before the word gets out into the community.

You will notice on our home page that we have several icons, including ValidatedSite.com, which is a third-party organization whose service we subscribe to. ValidatedSite continually measures our site against our competitors in terms of trust value. HCGDietDirect.com has the highest rating available.

HCG Sale Pricing

We also feel that our prices on HCG products offer the greatest value in terms of cost and quality. You may find lower prices elsewhere, but may not have assurance that you are getting an effective, quality product. Please check out our selection of HCG products and services today, and we are confident that you won’t need to go elsewhere.

HCG: Obesity and Weight Loss are Just the Beginning

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The HCG obesity treatment plan has been around for many decades, but the Internet has helped to popularize it tremendously in recent years. Most people don’t realize how versatile HCG is however. Although when used in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet, it can help dieters to drop pounds ly, the “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin” hormone actually protects us throughout our lives – almost from the moment of conception.

A Safe Place to Start

HCG is excreted by the fetus during the gestation process shortly after development begins. The main purpose of the hormone is to protect the fetus during those vulnerable first weeks, creating a viable surrounding. It also prevents the mother’s system from either stealing nutrients (in the event the mother does not receive sufficient food herself) or attacking (should the father’s DNA be perceived as an invader by the mother’s immune defenses).

HCG is passed through the pregnant woman’s urine. Most at-home early pregnancy tests are designed to detect these small amounts of it in the urine.  However, homeopathic HCG will not register a positive on a pregnancy test.

HCG can also help in conceiving a child in the first place. Fertility clinics use HCG injections in order to help men suffering from low testosterone levels. This hormone can also help to stimulate egg production in women.

The Ideal Weight Loss Solution

You are probably familiar with the HCG weight loss treatment and how it works. In case you aren’t, here is the short story: HCG regulates a part of the brain, known as the hypothalamus, which governs our bodies’ metabolic processes and how calories are utilized.

Ordinarily, when on a reduced calorie diet, the hypothalamus will slow us down and start feeding on muscle tissue and vital structural fat in order to make up the difference. HCG forces the hypothalamus to start with the excess “adipose” fat that we store around the abdomen and hips. It facilitates this by breaking this fat down into a form that is more readily used. People on HCG wind up dropping one or even two pounds a day.

Diagnosing Cancer

Many forms of cancer cannot be diagnosed until the disease has reached its latter stages and most treatments are ineffective. Oncology researchers have discovered that tumors excrete small amounts of HCG, meaning that the hormone could be an important diagnostic “marker.” This would allow for much earlier detection, and result in better prognoses and survival rates for cancer patients.

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.

When You Purchase HCG, Do Your Due Diligence

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

It is relatively easy to purchase HCG in liquid form on the World Wide Web. However, injectable HCG is nearly impossible to get without a prescription. Keep in mind that like every industry on the Internet, there are thousands of scam artists whose only desire is to take your money and run.

Before you start looking for HCG online, you’ll need to do some real detective work to make sure that (A) the business is reputable, and (B) you will actually get the product that you paid for.

About HCG

The “human chorionic gonadotropin” is a hormone excreted by the fetus during the gestation period. Its function is to protect the fetus, providing a viable environment in which to grow while suppressing the mother’s immune system (which might otherwise attack due to the presence of the father’s “foreign” DNA) and preventing her system from leeching nutrients. Interestingly, it is HCG that early pregnancy tests measure.  But it should be noted that homeopathic HCG is not made to result in a positive reading on a pregnancy test, therefore it will not.

Normally, HCG is used by fertility specialists in order to stimulate egg and sperm production in couples who have had difficulty in conceiving.

In the 1940s, British endocrinologist Dr. A.T.W. Simeons found that giving small amounts of this hormone to obese patients resulted in weight loss where nothing else had any effect. Over the years, he developed a procedure, now known as “Dr. Simeons’ protocols,” which consists of a 500-calorie diet in conjunction with set, regular doses of HCG. The HCG prevents feeling of deprivation and hunger as it “unlocks” excess fat deposits, making them available for metabolic processes.

Injectable HCG as a weight loss treatment is now largely unavailable in the U.S. except by prescription at certain specialty clinics that charge premium fees. Ordering liquid HCG is safer and easier but you need to know what you are doing and with whom you are dealing.

Finding A Reliable Source For HCG

First consider that not all HCG is created equal. Quality and effectiveness can vary a great deal from one manufacturer to another. Also, keep in mind that in many countries outside of Canada and the U.S., the manufacture of HCG is poorly regulated. There is little or no assurance that what you receive will be effective. It may even be harmful and some of these “companies” are fly-by-night operations that put out a counterfeit production that can actually make you very ill.

Your best bet is to find a number of different domestic companies, then research them thoroughly. Determine whether or not they are members of the Better Business Bureau Online, and find out if there have been complaints about them. It is also relatively easy to find customer testimonials. These can tell you a great deal about the company.

The best reason to purchase HCG in sublingual form from a reputable U.S. company is because these labs are subject to strict regulation by the FDA and its homeopathic remedies are required to meet quality standards set forth under the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).
