HOMEOPATHIC HCG WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

What is HCG? 

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, M.D. was born in London and graduated in medicine (summa cum laude) at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. In 1931 he moved to India and practiced medicine there for 18 years, before returning to Europe. It was during these years that he studied HCG and its impact on obesity.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gondaotropin) is a hormone naturally produced by a woman’s body in large quantity during pregnancy.

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons found that small regular doses of hCG caused the body to release abnormal fat when used in conjunction with a specific 500-calorie daily diet.  This is detailed in Dr. Simeons’ manuscript ‘Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity’.  This low calorie diet is only comfortable and advisable with hCG. Most participants are not hungry and have plenty of energy. 

Most HCG dieters report a loss of 1 to 2 lbs a day.  At the very least, ½ pound a day, and at the most, 3 lbs a day.  Weight loss of 1 lb a day is typical.  Factors that guarantee faster weight loss include adding/increasing vegetable intake and mixing salad with each meal.  Fiber intake is extremely important, as is water intake.  

Since this is the ‘pregnancy hormone’, does it work for men as well? If so, is it safe for men to be putting a pregnancy hormone into their bodies? 

Yes!  The HCG protocol is safe for men and even works faster for men. No surprise there, right ladies? While women typically lose ½ lb. - 1lb. per day, men typically lose .75 lb. - 1.5 lbs per day. 

What are the positive effects of HCG? 

Besides the accelerated weight loss and body re-shaping, many of our clients report:

• Better quality and more deep sleep
• Lower cholesterol and blood pressure while on the HCG, and sometimes continuing afterwards
  
• Less insulin or other medications required while on the protocol
• Higher energy levels without a nervous or edgy feeling
• A general feeling of well-being

What are some negative side effects sometimes experienced while HCG is present in the body? 

While on the protocol a few people report:

• A headache for the first few days of the protocol from the body detoxing 
• Leg cramping – alleviated with Magnesium supplement 
• Constipation  - solved with more Fiber or a mild laxative  

Homeopathic HCG comes in a liquid and is taken through drops sublingually (under the tongue). The homeopathic product we use is produced by an FDA approved homeopathic manufacturer who manufactures it in the United States.

How exactly does HCG allow you to lose weight? 

The HCG allows your body to tap into your body’s abnormal fat deposits (shoulders, upper arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks). In obese people, these deposits are not usually accessible to the body for fat consumption. This is the reason why no matter how much some people exercise and starve themselves; they still have a “big butt”.  When HCG is used, the body allows these abnormal fat deposits to be tapped, releasing the abnormal fat to be metabolized and burned as energy. 

The HCG actually releases 1500-4000 calories per day into the bloodstream. This is the ONLY reason why it is okay to be on a 500-calorie diet.  Without the HCG releasing abnormal fat which contains thousands of calories and burned as energy, the person would be ‘starving’ due to lack of calories to be burned for energy. 

Why the 500-calorie diet (VLCD—very low calorie diet)? 

You are on a VLCD (very low calorie diet) of 500 calories because while you are on the HCG, your body is releasing 1500-4000 calories from abnormal fat into your bloodstream each day.  So, with the 500 calories you are consuming, plus the 1500-4000 calories being released into your system, you are actually getting the benefit of (500 + 1500-4000) = 2000-4500 calories each day.  It is common to be hungry during the first few days, however, this will pass and by the 2nd week, you will find the small servings to be adequate.  This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat being released. 

How is the HCG protocol different from any other diet out there?  

Dr. Simeons, the medical doctor who developed the HCG Weight Loss Cure Protocol, said: 

“When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose his normal fat reserves.  When these are exhausted he begins to burn up structural fat, and only as a last resort will the body yield its abnormal reserves, though by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned.  It is for this reason that obese patients complain that when they diet they lose the wrong fat.  They feel famished and tired and their faces become drawn and haggard, but their belly, hips, thighs and upper arms show little improvement.  The fat they have come to detest stays on and the fat they need to cover their bones gets less and less.  Their skin wrinkles and they look old and miserable.  And that is one of the most frustrating and depressing experiences a human being can have.” 

To rephrase Dr. Simeons: 

The HCG allows your body to tap into your body’s abnormal fat deposits (shoulders, upper arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks). In obese clients, these deposits are not usually accessible to the body until the person has gone through both his normal fat and structural fat as described above.  This is the reason why no matter how much some people exercise and starve themselves, they may lose little or no weight at all and will still be, fat!  The HCG coupled with the very low calorie diet allows ugly, abnormal fat deposits to be tapped into and released into the blood stream to be used by the body. 

This release of fat/calories into the blood stream is also why those taking the HCG are generally not hungry and generally have plenty of energy.  The HCG actually releases 1500-4000 calories per day into the bloodstream. Without the HCG releasing the abnormal fat and, therefore, many calories into the bloodstream, the person would look haggard, be famished and be experiencing nutritional deficiency.

Most “diets” begin weight loss by depleting your structural fat (that fat which cushions your organs) and your normal fat reserves.  However, regular diets are slow to affect the abnormal fat deposits (shoulders, upper arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks), which seem to have only one efficient key to unlock them: HCG.  Besides tapping into the abnormal fat deposits, HCG has a positive effect on your hypothalamus and your base metabolism.  This protocol provides a detox and gives your entire system rest from being overwhelmed by food and drinks for a period of time by allowing only a small amount of relatively healthy items to be processed in your body and your hypothalamus.  Some experts feel this ‘detox’ allows your hypothalamus to clear itself of the chemical build-up that could be preventing weight loss and re-establishes the natural functioning and hormone release of the hypothalamus.

What do I eat on this protocol? Do I have to buy special diet food? 

You will eat fresh food that you buy from the grocery store.  There is a very detailed list of the foods you can have while on the protocol in Dr. Simeons’ manuscript that is included in the manual you will receive with the program.  There is no special diet food we require you to purchase from us. 

Who developed this protocol? Is it safe?  

Dr Simeons developed the HCG Protocol in Italy in the 1950’s. He worked on the study of obesity for 40 years and on this protocol specifically for about 20 years. He helped countless patients in his clinic.  Patients would spend thousands of dollars to go to his clinic in Italy for the duration of their course, receive injections each day, and be monitored by Dr. Simeons.  Thanks to modern medicine, we now have a true homeopathic HCG option, which allows clients to use HCG drops taken orally without the risk of infection from needles.

Both we and Dr. Simeons have found the protocol to be extremely safe and effective. Keep in mind, this is the same hormone produced naturally in a pregnant woman’s body.  It is also frequently used in infertility treatments for both women and men.  Additionally, in both of these situations, the HCG used is substantially higher than the amount used for weight loss in the HCG Weight Loss Cure Protocol.  Just to put it into perspective, Dr. Simeons advised each patient on the HCG protocol to administer 125 units of HCG per day for a maximum of 40 days.  During pregnancy, however, a woman can produce up to 1,000,000 units per day. 

Is it healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds a day with HCG? 

HCG weight loss studies have shown that weight lost following the Simeons protocol comes directly from adipose fat tissue rather than lean muscle.  In doing so, the weight lost comes directly from fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health, while at the same time releasing excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body.  For this reason, hCG dieters report a feeling and appearance of great health and marvel at the loss of negative health risks they had as an overweight individual.

Will I gain the weight back after the HCG diet? 

After the HCG diet, you will find your appetite has changed, your eating behavior will be changed and your body of course, will have changed.  This is the perfect opportunity to adopt that healthy lifestyle that we will be teaching you, to maintain your weight.  You will find a minimum amount of exercise will be sufficient for maintaining a very healthy body.

Our program and our support ensure that you go through your ‘reset’ period correctly, it is important that this be done correctly. With your hypothalamus reset, your metabolism will be different and you will be able to eat moderately without feeling the need to overeat.  

What is the hypothalamus gland? 

The hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage, and more importantly, your metabolic rate.    

What does the food plan consist of? 

The food plan consists of organic vegetables and fruits and preferably organic meats and fish. It further encourages organic green tea and lots of water to help with the detoxification process. 

Our program uses Homeopathic HCG. What is Homeopathy? 

·         Homeopathy is a “safe and effective system of natural medicine which uses tiny quantities of specially prepared substances to help the body heal itself”. 

Facts about Homeopathy 

The World Health Organization reports that homeopathy is the 2^nd most widely used medical modality for primary health care in the world.

• 500 million people every year receive homeopathic treatment.
• 3,000 doctors and health care practitioners in the U.S. practice homeopathy.
• 21 out of 24 Colleges of Pharmacy in France teach homeopathy.
• There are over 100 homeopathic medical schools in India. 
• In Germany, over 25% of the family physicians prescribe homeopathy.
• Homeopathy began to be popular in 1796 when a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (who graduated with honors from the University of Erlangen in 1779) claimed that the medicine of his time did as much harm as good. After giving up his practice around 1784, Dr. Hahnemann made his living chiefly as a writer and translator, while resolving also to investigate the causes of medicine's alleged errors. While translating William Cullen’s ‘A Treatise on the Materia Medica’, Dr. Hahnemann encountered the claim that cinchona, the bark of a Peruvian tree, was effective in treating malaria because of its astringency. Dr. Hahnemann believed that other astringent substances are not effective against malaria and began to research cinchona's effect on the human body by self-application. Noting that the drug induced malaria-like symptoms in himself, he concluded that it would do so in any healthy individual. This led him to postulate a healing principle: "that which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms." This principle, like cures like, became the basis for an approach to medicine which he gave the name homeopathy.
  
• Users of homeopathy include Thomas Edison, the Queen of England, Mother Theresa and Mark Twain.  
• Despite intense pressure from the AMA (American Medical Association), the popularity of homeopathy continued to grow and was due, at least in part, to the superiority it demonstrated in treating cholera and yellow fever epidemics in the 1800’s.  In Ohio during the 1849 outbreak of cholera, only 3% of the patients treated by homeopathy died.  The mortality rate for those treated with conventional medicine was in excess of 60%.  In London in 1854, cholera claimed 53% of its victims in conventional hospitals, whereas only 16% of those treated in homeopathic hospitals died.
