Thank you. Yes, I must admit that my wariness of homeopathic HCG comes through, even though I have no objection to the excellent approaches of homeopathy in general. One of my friends, in fact, is Dr. Iris Bell, who is the premier homeopathic researcher in the U.S. (in my opinion). It is personally gratifying to know of someone such as you, with your scientific background, being interested in this topic. By the way, HCG is a protein hormone, one of many kinds of protein hormones. As such, is not a precursor to any of the 150 or so steroid hormones. So we could have a great debate on this point, couldn't we? Thanks again, Dennis Hi, Beth…What an excellent and complete comment. Thank you.

]]> Comment on Homeopathic HCG Contains No Hormone by Beth Golden, PhD, Researcher, Formulator, Educator http://besthcgweightloss.com/homeopathic-hcg-contains-no-hormone/comment-page-1/#comment-463 Beth Golden, PhD, Researcher, Formulator, Educator Sat, 27 Feb 2010 23:03:16 +0000 http://besthcgweightloss.com/?p=341#comment-463 I find your presentation of homeopathic hCG extremely interesting in that you are looking for published scientific evidence to read that proves homeopathic hCG works. I also find your choice of words very interesting in that you really don’t discount it, but at the same time do chose your words so that the average individual would believe it doesn't work . With that said, if I may be so bold in pointing out to you that there is NO scientific evidence that the actual prescription hCG RESETS or FIXES the hypothalamus either as the world is claiming. Simeons was the first to say it years ago that we can NOT PROVE the positive effects on the hypothalamus and abnormal fat, only the change that is seen and experienced. There are now hundreds of thousands of people around the globe that will be the first to tell you they know the hcg has changed something in them. in the US, in the 70’s the big controversy was whether hcg and Simeons diet was snake oil, now I see the issue at hand disputing that against the homeopathic hCG. Homeopathy has been used by Royalty in England for Centuries, and I would surmise they would be the first to step up to the plate to vouch its effectiveness. I would also like to comment about calling hCG a hormone, when in fact it is actually 237 LARGE amino acids that are found in the liver, spleen, thyroid and in nature as well. It also acts as a PRE-CURSER to testosterone and estrogen and Does Not fit the actual definition of a hormone. I'm not sure how it became classified as a hormone, but it continues to get incorrectly defined. With that said, it also cannot be proven the oral or the sublingual prescription hCG is actually absorbed through the mucosal lining. Every pharmacist I questioned for 2 years said it is too large to be absorbed transdermally or orally (or through the sinuses or rectally for that matter), so that might be a good matter for you to investigate as well. In homeopathics, substances, ( when created in the correct potencies ) will mimic the usage of the substance since everything has energy to it. I agree with you that there is no actual hcg molecule IN homeopathics, that's the beauty of it. It contains the EXACT same energy as the substance. Who ever can PROVE that energy, will win the Pulitzer price, just like maybe they will if someone can prove how electricity and / or prayer works. But a homeopathic remedy creates the same environment in the body as when the actual substance is given, therein lies what I would have like to have seen in your video. Homeopathic NOSODES are created from diseases and bacteria to stimulate the immune system, SARCODES are made from secretions/hormones/botanic and food sources, or others. ISODES are made from a person's own tissue and diseases. Your presentation seems to only refer to NOSODES, leaving your audience with only half of the story. hCG is not a disease, rather a natural substance found in all living things therefore is a Sarcode, which isn't what your presentation describes. The beauty of homeopathy is that the body will use what it needs, if in multiple potencies and the correct homacords. I can understand your confusion, but as a scientist I’m sure you are aware that there are many forms of energy in the world and homeopathics are just one of them, just like the energy running through a nerve in the body. I am ecstatic that hCG is getting the notice that it deserves in regard to the potential of a better form of weight loss and weight management than anything else out there. I think Simeons’ original findings were brilliant. My clinicals and research has proven that there is MUCH more needed to support most people before, during and after, but with the relapse rate at 95 percent within a year for people who diet and exercise to lose weight, just a 94 percent failure rate will mean hCG is better than the usual approach!

When I studied statistics in college, we were forbidden from comparing data that were taken from different times and places. Now we have the meta analysis, whereby data are compared among different studies! Oh, well. Times change. I agree with you in that it would at lease be very interesting, regardless of statistical validity, to do such an analysis on the HCG diet. At the very least, published studies would get a new look and a new evaluation as to their experimental designs. Thanks for your input, Randy! Meta analyses are funny things.

This is my first round on hcg and I have so far lost 12 lbs. in 10 days. From everything else I have read that has positive feedback regarding the Hcg diet protocol and Dr. Simeons theories most of them elude to the fact that Dr. Simeons was ahead of his time. So far I would have to agree! I agree with others that have stated this is also a lifestyle change and that we must eat healthier than before to keep this weight off. I agree with that as well, but an occasional splurge is not going to kill you either. It would be interesting to have an actual meta analysis completed following Dr. Simeons protocol to the letter.

Your point that the body is rebuilding also makes sense. The diet protocol is definitely a time when the body is putting energy from fat into physical recovery. Thanks for the comment!
