The Oral HCG Diet – A Better Alternative

Monday, April 5th, 2010

The ongoing controversy as to whether the oral HCG diet or the HCG injections are more effective is pretty much pointless if you cannot afford the injections – which are available only through prescription, require a doctor’s exam, generally can be administered only through licensed weight loss clinics, and are not covered by anything that passes for health insurance. We certainly offer these through our own clinic here in Arizona, but we understand that not everyone has the time or finances to make the journey.

There are many weight loss clinics across the nation that also offer HCG injections, but these can also be expensive. This is why we offer an alternative with our line of high-quality, low-cost HCG drops. This homeopathic remedy, proven to be just as effective as the injections, is available without a prescription and is ready to use as soon as you receive it.

Some Things to Keep in Mind

Although it provides miraculous results in terms of weight reduction, remember that HCG by itself is not a “miracle cure” for obesity. If you do nothing more than take HCG every day, you’re likely to put on more weight, not lose it.

What HCG does to is enable your own body’s system to literally heal itself by burning those stubborn fat deposits that most diets never touch. As HCG enables this action, it also keeps you from those diet-sabotaging hunger pangs and feelings of deprivation that normally adds to the misery of most diets.

In fact, after the second day or so, most people on the HCG diet feel quite satisfied on the three small meals allowed under Dr. Simeons’ protocols. In addition, they have more energy and a greater feeling of well being. This is because of the nature of the fat being burned; normal low-calorie diets cause the wrong kind of weight loss, leaving the dieter feeling tired, crabby, constantly hungry and weak as muscle tissue and necessary structural fat is consumed instead of the excess deposits around the abdomen.

Don’t Swallow!

In order to get the full benefits of HCG drops, it is important that you do not swallow it directly. Homeopathic remedies are very effective, but their chemical structure is quite delicate and easily destroyed by the digestive acids in the stomach. This is why such remedies, including oral HCG, are placed under the tongue.

Here is another thing to understand about hormonal medications: a very small amount goes an extraordinarily long way. All that is required is 14-16 drops – about four-tenths of a milliliter (that’s a thousandth of a liter, by the way), three times a day. This is yet another reason that HCG drops are such a low-cost way to go.

Learn

We strongly suggest that you download a copy of Dr. Simeons’ research, Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity. Not only will you learn what’s really making you fat (it’s not what you think), you’ll also gain a greater understanding of the science behind the oral HCG diet.

Why The Oral HCG Weight Loss Method Is Better

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

There is an ongoing debate about the relative merits of HCG drops vs. HCG injections. Our website is of the opinion that the oral HCG weight loss program is superior to the injections when it comes to effective weight loss. There are a multitude of reasons why we take this position, not the least of which is that people who use drops are more likely to stay with the HCG diet.

About HCG Injections

The primary use of HCG in the medical profession is by fertility specialists. Regular injections of HCG can help couples who are unable to conceive otherwise. It does this by stimulating the production of eggs in women and raising testosterone in men, thus increasing sperm count.

HCG injections have been a standard fertility treatment for many years. Such injections are also used “off label” by a small number of exclusive weight reduction clinics. Therein lays one of the problems with this form of HCG.

While there is nothing wrong with “off-label” use of a medication (doctors do it quite frequently), the injectable form of HCG is legally available only by prescription. A large part of this has to do with the needle syringes. If you have these without a valid prescription, you are risking a great deal (for reasons that should be obvious).

This is also why you should not order “HCG Injection Kits” online. Most of the websites that offer these kits – which include illegal syringes – are located in foreign countries where the homeopathic remedy industry is not well-regulated. When you order from such sources, you have no real guarantee of what you are getting, or if you will get anything at all. Predators and con artists are still plentiful on the Internet, and many people have learned the hard way that due diligence is necessary before doing business with anyone.

About HCG Drops

One of the greatest advantages to HCG drops as opposed to injections is the ease of use. Whereas the injection solution must be mixed by the end user and carefully measured into a syringe, the oral drops are ready for your use. All you need to do is place four-tenths of a milliliter (about 14-16 drops) under your tongue and hold them there a few minutes without swallowing while the medication is absorbed into your system. (The reason you don’t swallow directly is because homeopathic compounds are rendered ineffective by stomach acid.)

The other advantage is that HCG drops are easy and legal to obtain from reliable sources. In the U.S. Homeopathic remedies are made by laboratories that require a license and are required to hire only workers with registered pharmaceutical training and experience.

The best indication that you are dealing with a reliable and legitimate source is to see an actual physical address on the website along with a phone number. Any e-mail correspondence should be addressed to the same domain (so in other words, something like “customerinfo@xyzhomeopathics.com”). If you are directed to a Gmail or Hotmail account, it’s not a good sign.  You should definitely keep shopping for your oral HCG weight loss supplies.

The HCG Weight Loss Method

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Despite its seeming recent popularity, the HCG weight loss method has a history going back over sixty years. It is rooted in research carried out in India during the 1940s by a British endocrinologist, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons.  His program, known today as “Dr. Simeons’ Protocols,” has become the basis of the most effective weight loss treatment yet developed.

About Dr. Simeons

A.T.W. Simeons attended the prestigious University of Heidelberg Medical School in the years just following the First World War, graduating with honors before going on to specialize in endocrinology. After completing his post-graduate studies, he took up a post at a hospital in Hamburg, Germany, where tropical diseases were studied and treated.

His interest in diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and leprosy took him to Africa in the late 1920s. In 1931, he traveled to Mumbai (Bombay) India, where he spend eighteen years studying and treating patients with thyroid disorders that had lead to morbid obesity.

In the course of his research, Dr. Simeons came to some interesting conclusions about the nature of obesity. When he administered small amounts of a pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to his obese patients, he found that it caused significant weight reduction. A few years after leaving India, Dr. Simeons published his findings. He concluded that obesity was in fact an abnormal state brought about by numerous factors. These factors could be genetic, the result of dietary choices, the demands of modern society, or any combination of these.

Dr. Simeons realized that

“…obesity in all its many forms is due to an abnormal functioning of some
part of the body and that every ounce of abnormally accumulated fat is always
the result of the same disorder of certain regulatory mechanisms. Persons
suffering from this particular disorder will get fat regardless of whether they
eat excessively, normally or less than normal. A person who is free of the
disorder will never get fat, even if he frequently overeats.”
( from Pounds and Inches, 1954)

How The HCG Diet Works

When used in conjunction with the Low Calorie Diet, HCG works to facilitate weight loss in two ways.

First, it re-regulates the hypothalamus gland, which controls the body’s metabolism. When calories are reduced under “normal” circumstances, the hypothalamus draws nutrients from the most readily available sources of nutrition namely, lean muscle tissue and structural fat, such as the viscera that protects the internal organs. Only when these have been used up will excess belly and hip fat known as adipose be consumed.

Unfortunately, by that point the dieter is so weak and discouraged that s/he gives up.  HCG forces the hypothalamus to utilize adipose as an alternate food source.

HCG also breaks down adipose into a form that can be more readily consumed when a minimum of calories are ingested.

Where Can I Buy HCG?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Once people hear about the “miracle” that is the HCG weight loss method, they first ask: “where can I buy HCG?”

There is no simple answer to this question. If you enter this into your favorite search engine, you will bring up well over a million results. Generally, you will need to take time to educate yourself and do your due diligence on the many, many companies that offer HCG drops for sale. Otherwise, you may wind up with nothing for your money, or worse, a product that may very well be harmful to your health.

Take Note on HCG Drops

Notice that we specifically say “HCG drops.” This is really the only tried and proven form of HCG available today. Recently, a skin cream containing HCG was developed and put on the market, however this product has not yet been proven effective outside of the laboratory – and it may be several more months before the reviews are in.

HCG injections are used in fertility clinics to treat couples who have had difficulty in conceiving a child. It is known to stimulate egg production in women and raise testosterone levels in men, leading to higher sperm count. However, this form of HCG for weight reduction is no longer available to the general public except by prescription through a small number of exclusive, high-priced weight loss clinics.

HCG drops are reasonably priced (actually, the price can vary considerably – as can the quality – so it pays to do some comparison shopping) and easily available. Nonetheless, you will definitely want to check out your sources thoroughly, because there is no shortage of Internet scammers online.

What HCG Does

HCG, or “human chorionic gonadotropin,” is a naturally-occurring byproduct of pregnancy and the gestation process. It is excreted by the human fetus and furnishes protection during its development by providing a viable environment in the womb. Primarily, it regulates metabolic processes. It also acts as a sort of immuno-suppressant so as not to trigger a reaction from the mother’s antibodies in the presence of the father’s “foreign” DNA.

Finally, if the mother winds up being undernourished, HCG prevents her system from stealing nutrients from the fetus.

What To Look For

There are signs on a company’s website that they are legitimate and reputable. Two icons to look for are:

  • Better Business Bureau Online
  • TrustE

These should be clickable links that take you to those respective websites. You should be able to pull up information about the company at those sites.

It is also important that your HCG drops are made in the U.S. or Canada. Overseas labs are usually not subject to regulations that insure a quality product or they may not exist at all. On the other hand, every U.S. Company that manufactures HCG drops or any other homeopathic remedy must follow strict rules established by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition, the product must meet industry standards that are outlined in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).

Keeping this in mind will help you to answer the question: “where can I buy HCG?”
