HCG Diet NOT The Fastest Way To Lose Weight

by

If you want to lose body weight fast, you can find lots of unhealthy ways to do so. HCG hormone weight loss is better for you and faster than just plain dieting or exercise. Marketing hype makes is sound better than it really is. Here is a typical exchange that I had recently with one of my readers, which shows how expectations can undermine results.

On HCG for Weight Loss

Hi Dr. Dennis, I started the 500 calorie diet 11 days ago strictly and have lost 7.6 lbs. Started with 10 drops then went to 13 bc I was getting dizzy and felt famished I am a diabetic. I have coffee no sugar but I eat an apple for breakfast. I drink water with a slice of lemon all day and weigh my food. My blood pressure and sugar have dropped. I’m losing about 1/2 lb a day. Is this normal? I don’t know why my progress is so slow I’m thinking I may have got a fake bottle of HCG. Most people have lost 1-2 lbs daily. I walk every day for about 15/20 minutes. I don’t know what Ai am doing wrong and getting discouraged. Help!!!

Hi, [name deleted by me]:

You are doing fine. Without knowing all the details of your situation, I can say that one-half pound per day is a more common rate than you hear about from all the marketing hype. In fact, the typical loss for women is 0.5-1.0 pounds per day. The idea that “most people” have lost 1-2 pounds per day is not true. In fact, one pound per day is more common for men, and one-half pound per day is more common for women. So keep up the great job! I don’t know what to say about the number of drop you are taking, because I don’t know what product you are taking. However, the original Simeons protocol entailed the same dose for everyone.

All the best,
Dennis

Great Expectations for HCG and Weight Loss

Please realize that this protocol is the best there has been for weight loss for more than 50 years. Just don’t buy into the marketing hype that makes it sound better than it really is. The original protocol is works great when you do it right.

All the best for HCG hormone weight loss,

HCG Diet For Vegetarians

by

The need for protein is overrated for the HCG diet. Besides, veggies of all kinds offer plenty of it. The idea behind the meat choices is to limit dietary fat. Research is very clear on what the best diet would be, before, during, and after the HCG diet.

Just in case you are looking for a way to survive on the meat-centered HCG diet protocol without meat, here is an idea that will work perfectly: go vegan. Specifically, go vegan without grains. Here is an extreme version of how to do so at this link:

HCG Vegan Diet Protocol

My Comment

Sandy and Steve make some good points, although some of their explanations sound like voodoo science. Here is what I have found in the scientific literature: A grain-free vegan diet, raw or not, will be better for fat loss and lifelong weight management regardless of whether you go through the HCG diet protocol. Any advice that you see, including that from Sandy and Steve, about cleansing and detox is without scientific merit, even though it may sound reasonable. It may even be correct. It just has no scientific merit.

The three biggest flaws of almost all diets are: 1) too much protein; 2) too many grain-based foods, 2) too much animal-based food. I guarantee that you would not even be considering the HCG diet if you reduced those flaws. This will be a subject that I dig into with more depth later.

HCG Diet – New Perspectives

by

It is just plain silly that the HCG diet can be remotely considered as controversial. This hormone-directed diet protocol was established more than 50 years ago. It continues to increase in popularity because of its effectiveness. The HCG hormone targets the reduction of abnormal fat, which is not possible by diet alone or by any combination of diet and exercise. Here are some new perspectives.

HCG Diet Plan

Science icon
Image via Wikipedia

The original plan was created by a British medical doctor, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, in his clinic at the Salvator Mutidi International Hospital in Rome in the 1950s. His book, Pounds and Inches, describes his discovery and experience with the protocol. He also outlines the protocol in sufficient detail for any reader to follow it without difficulty. This book is freely available on many websites.

The purpose of this article is to provide some updated information on the HCG diet and to puncture at least a few fallacies that have arisen regarding it.

Public Perception vs Scientific Research

As you can expect, media coverage of Dr. Simeons’ protocol has been mixed. This is to be expected because of yellow journalism, not necessarily because of the merits of the protocol itself. For this reason, using HCG for weight loss has been called controversial. This controversy has been made up out of thin air.

Most of the scientific research evaluating HCG for weight loss was published in the 1960s and 1970s. Some medical researchers confirmed Dr. Simeons’ original results in controlled clinical experiments. Other medical researchers failed to confirm these results, even when following the same experimental design. If anything, this would be a legitimate source of controversy. However, media coverage has never mentioned this body of research.

500 Calories Per Day Does Not Lead To Starvation

People from all walks of life, health professionals and the public alike, rightly observe that a 500 calorie per day diet alone would be too little food for normal metabolism. What they fail to note is that the HCG hormone changes metabolism to make up for the calorie restrictions of the Simeons protocol. This means that abnormal fat becomes a source of calories for daily living.

The statement above means that you can live off of your own fat when you are using the prescribed dosages of HCG and eating the prescribed foods in the right amounts. Explaining how the protocol works in this statement comes across to some people as pure gibberish, so all they can dwell on is the fear of living on only 500 calories per day. It doesn’t seem to matter that another 2000 calories can come from their own fat.

New Perspective On How HCG Works

Dr. Simeons astutely pointed out that HCG influences fat metabolism by signaling the hypothalamus of the brain. He was guessing that this protein hormone fit into hormone receptors of some kind that were already in the brain. The exciting aspect of his guesswork is that, in 1994, a new protein hormone was discovered to influence fat metabolism by signaling the hypothalamus, too. This hormone, called leptin, is now widely known as the master fat hormone.

Current research on laboratory animals is starting to show how HCG and leptin might interact by signaling the same receptor sites in the hypothalamus. Research on this interaction is too new to show how this works. However, HCG and leptin clearly influence one another. Furthermore, the influence of leptin on insulin also leads to an indirect response between insulin and HCG. One property that all of these protein hormones share is that overexposure to each one leads to resistance. Leptin resistance leads to storage of too much fat. Insulin resistance leads to abnormal blood sugar metabolism (and fat storage) and eventually to diabetes. HCG resistance simply stops this hormone from working completely.

Unusual Side Benefits

As weight loss proceeds on the HCG diet, skin seems to shrink up, too. The benefit is that, unlike all other weight loss diets and even weight loss surgeries, skin does not get loose and saggy while you lose weight.

Some people believe that a great benefit of HCG is that it works regardless of whether they exercise. The entire protocol is effective whether you sit on the couch the whole time or run 10 miles per day, and at the same level of effectiveness either way.

Perspective of the FDA

The FDA is not a government agency that is concerned with helping us be healthy. It is the enforcement arm of the pharmaceutical industry. The position of the FDA on HCG for weight loss is irrelevant to anything useful for the public. In fact, I predict that the FDA will ban the use of this hormone for losing weight as soon as it gets enough attention to threaten the drug industry.

Fake Scary Stuff About HCG

HCG was first called the pregnancy hormone because pregnant women produce high levels of it during the first trimester. One subunit of this complex protein is also produced by women during menstruation. Comments that imply some kind of feminization of men upon taking HCG are plain silly. Quite the contrary, since bodybuilders often use HCG to restore low testosterone levels after taking an anabolic steroid series.

HCG is not just a hormone that is produced only by women. Men have the genetic machinery to produce it, too. One of the subunits shows up in measurable quantities as a product of certain kinds of cancer. It is used clinically as a marker for testicular cancer. Keep this cause and effect straight. Testicular cancer causes a positive test for HCG, not the other way around. Comments on the Internet that invoke the fear of HCG causing cancer get this cause and effect backwards.

Maintaining Long Term Weight Loss – Really?

No. Weight loss on this protocol does not grant carte blanche to eat poorly without consequences. Ice cream and cookies will make you fat, regardless of whether you lose weight on this protocol or any other kind of diet. Claims about keeping off fat forever are true only when dieters adopt appropriate lifestyle changes that support healthy weight management. It is only logical. If you do things that made you fat in the first place, then those same things will make you fat again.

Watch Out for Oral HCG for Weight Loss

by

HCG Injections Are the Foundation for Weight Loss

Dr. A.T.W. Simeons outlined his protocol more than 50 years ago, using injections of the hormone HCG as the key for burning fat. Thousands of patients succeeded in losing weight when the hormone was accompanied by a specific, calorie-restricted diet. It is now a reputable weight loss program that has helped people lose weight permanently and more easily than any other program.

Caution on Oral HCG

The popularity of the HCG weight loss diet has fostered variations that are hard to keep up with. One of the variations is the use of an oral form of HCG instead of the original injectable form. This is a major shift in concept for introducing a complex protein hormone into the body. Proteins of all kinds taken orally only end up being digested in the mix of acids and protein-digesting enzymes of the stomach.

The take home lesson is that oral HCG, when swallowed, has very little chance of being effective before it is digested.

Sublingual HCG to the Rescue

An alternative oral form is also widely available for sublingual use. This just means that the HCG is placed under the tongue for a few minutes. The mucous membrane of the mouth is very efficient at absorbing all kinds of substances, including proteins.

The key for a sublingual HCG product to be effective is that the amount absorbed must mimic the effects of the injectable form exactly. Reputable companies have figured this out and provide directions that give you the expected results.

Comparing Injectable vs. Sublingual HCG

Both forms have to be mixed with sterile water. The similarity ends in the way they are used. The injectable form must be mixed in a vial whose lid can be penetrated by a needle. Administration requires drawing the appropriate volume into a syringe, then injecting it into your body once per day.

The sublingual form is administered from a dropper bottle, usually 5 drops twice per day. Variations depend on different products with different concentrations of HCG and different volumes of liquid per drop. It is common to mix 15 milliliters of sterile water into 12,000 I.U. of HCG, which will yield 5 drops twice per day for 27-plus days.

Injectable and sublingual forms of HCG are equivalent in their effects when used appropriately. The main reason for choosing one over another is simply a matter of personal preference or convenience. I have found that many more people are now willing to consider the HCG weight loss diet because they don’t have to self-administer the injections or go see a doctor daily to get injections administered to them. People who have objected to the need for injections now have an alternative.

What to Watch for When Buying Oral HCG

Most of the online HCG that is easy to buy is homeopathic HCG, which contains no HCG at all. Please make sure that you are getting legitimate HCG that has a clearly labeled concentration of several thousand I.U. If you see a label with 30x or some such indication of strength, this means that it is homeopathic.

The reason that I caution you on homeopathic HCG is because there is no scientific research behind this form of the hormone yet. The jury is still out.

Real Medical Research on the HCG Weight Loss Diet

by

The Original Research by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons

The research by Dr. Simeons was published in 1954 in his book, ‘Pounds and Inches’, which is widely available at no cost on many websites. He designed his protocol to be very precise regarding the amount of HCG required for injection, for the number of calories and the types foods allowed, and for the optimal duration of the program. He also published a brief synopsis of his program in the British medical journal Lancet (vol. 2, pp. 946-947, 1954).

This weight loss program has attracted considerable attention from the medical community and from people who have undergone treatment. Its popularity is one reason why so many people, including medical doctors, have decided to offer opinions on whether it works. The success of HCG for weight loss has been so great that it has attracted negative attention from the FDA.

Before I go further, I want to note that the FDA is not an agency that serves human health. It is an agency that serves the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies. Negative attention from the FDA almost always means that the health benefits of the treatment in question might undermine drug profits. Indeed, seeing the statement that HCG is not approved by the FDA for weight loss is, in my opinion, support for the effectiveness of this protocol.

Medical Studies

The government’s PubMed database lists more than 18,000 journal articles on HCG, with less than a few dozen of these having anything to do with weight loss. Most of the research on this hormone involves fertility, pregnancy, and the detection of cancerous tumors. What I want to do is call your attention to just three studies as examples of the confusion that is rampant in the medical literature on HCG and weight loss.

1963 Study

This study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (vol. 12, pp. 230-234, 1963), at the height of popularity of the HCG diet plan in the U.S. In my reading of this article, it looks to me as though the researchers behind this study, from the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, followed the Simeons protocol to the letter. There was one exception: the consumption of a baked potato each day, which is not on Simeons’ list of allowed vegetables. The main result of the study was an average loss of 6.5 pounds in the HCG-treated group, compared with an average loss of 8.8 pounds in the untreated (control) group. The authors concluded that the hormone did not cause weight loss.

This study is remarkable for a couple reasons. One is that, in spite of following the Simeons protocol for 40 days, neither the treatment group nor the control group came close to the amount of weight loss that is expected. A starvation diet alone (i.e., 550 calories per day) should have caused more weight loss than reported. In fact, one subject on HCG even gained weight. The other reason that this study is remarkable is that the number of study subjects (i.e., 10 in the treatment group, 9 in the control group) and the variability of the results within each group provided insufficient statistical power to explain anything at all! Indeed, this study offered no comparative statistical analysis of weight loss. In other words, the results did not support any conclusions whatsoever.

Nevertheless, one or more factors are not obvious in this study. Generally when a study has such insignificant results, the subjects were not compliant – i.e., they did not follow the protocol very well. The researchers offered no comment on this possibility, so we will never know why both the treatment group and the control group underperformed.

1973 Study

This study was published 10 years later, also in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (vol. 26, pp. 211-218, 1963). The researchers who conducted it, at the American Society of Bariatric Physicians Research Council, studied about twice as many subjects as the 1963 study above. The final result was an average loss of 19.96 pounds in the HCG group and 11.05 pounds in the control group. More importantly, the statistical analysis supported this difference as being significant. The conclusion of this study was that HCG did cause weight loss.

1995 Meta Analysis

Meta analysis refers to a comparison of multiple studies on the same topic. This meta analysis was published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (vol. 40, pp. 237-243, 1995) by researchers at Vrije University, Netherlands. They evaluated 16 studies and observed that most of them were of ‘poor methodological quality’ (meaning, bad science). Only one of the 12 articles of acceptable quality showed an effect on weight loss by HCG. The researchers concluded that ‘there is no scientific evidence that HCG is effective in the treatment of obesity’.

Meta analysis studies have become very popular in medicine because of the notion that a trend over multiple studies shows the truth. Unfortunately, the basic rules of statistics invalidate any such comparisons. Moreover, when even one study stands out against the majority, it is wrong to ignore it completely as these researchers have done. It would be much more valuable to figure out why some studies give contradictory results to one another.

This meta analysis also reveals what I call the dirty laundry of medical science – i.e., most research is so flawed that it is almost useless for saying anything at all with certainty. In fact, this is kind of a scary thought, isn’t it?

Take Home Lesson

Human subject research is the most difficult kind of study because of so many variables that are out of the control of the experimental design. Determining cause and effect is almost impossible. Nevertheless, we can see from some research that HCG can and does drive weight loss. My view is that studies that show this result are better in terms of sticking more closely to the Simeons protocol in the experimental design, then having the study subjects adhere closely to it.

What I conclude regarding HCG and weight loss is based on what I have seen for myself. This includes many, many people who have had the same results that Simeons documented based on his clinical experience with thousands of patients. I have also had the same results for myself. There is nothing like personal experience! The key to my experience, however, was monitoring my body fat composition. Weight loss is almost irrelevant by itself. My result was a reduction of 20 pounds AND of 6% body fat in less than 30 days. Reduction in body fat is supposed to be the main effect of HCG.

Medical researchers are apparently going to argue the merits of HCG and weight loss until the end of time, citing whichever research results support their arguments. As a scientist myself, I have no doubt whatsoever that Simeons was right and that my body changes occurred because of HCG.

One More Thing

Early studies on lab animals are now beginning to show that HCG interacts with the hormone leptin. Leptin is the new master fat hormone that has been known only since 1994. Like HCG, leptin also carries a signal to the hypothalamus. I predict that the more we find out about the interaction between these two hormones, the more we will understand how ingenious the Simeons protocol really is.

Natural Supplements: Losing Weight with HCG

by

Are you looking for a natural supplement that will aid you in losing weight? If so, you might want to look into hCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. hCG is a natural hormone produced by the placenta when a woman is pregnant. As such, it actually controls a large amount of the woman’s metabolism while she is pregnant. Although hCG is produced naturally, many of the products that you find on the market are created synthetically rather than derived from humans. Nonetheless, the same principals that govern natural hCG still apply and using synthetic hCG helps remove any ethical concerns that consumers might have.
Getting Prepared to Lose Weight with hCG
In order to use hCG to help you with losing weight, you will have to obtain a special diet shot. Before you can get the shot, however, your physician will need to complete blood work and conduct a general assessment of your health. After you have been cleared to use hCG, you will be able to give yourself the shots if you like. In this case, you will need to follow the sterilization steps as specified by your physician. This part of using hCG can be difficult for some people. Therefore, if you are not prepared to either receive shots from a physician or to inject yourself with the shots, you might want to pass on this dietary aid.
What to Expect from hCG
Using hCG for weight loss can result in a significant amount of weight loss in a short period of time. Many people using hCG for weight loss report losing anywhere from one to two pounds per day. At the very least, you can expect to lose 1/2 pound per day and you may lose three or more pounds per day with this natural supplement. Of course, you can increase the efficiency and the amount of weight loss by eating healthy. Namely, increasing your vegetable, fiber, and water intake will help you lose weight faster. Therefore, while hCG can be quite powerful in helping with weight loss, it shouldn’t be considered a “cure all” to your weight problems.
Staying Healthy with hCG
If you have been dieting for some time, you have probably heard that it is unhealthy to lose one to two pounds per day. Therefore, you might be a little shocked to hear that you can lose that much when using hCG. Rest assured, you can safely lose this much weight when you use this natural supplement. This is because the primary reason for warnings against losing weight too quickly is the fact that crash dieting may result losing muscle rather than adipose fat tissue.
According to studies conducted around hCG, , the weight you lose with the product comes directly from your body’s fat. This means you do not lose muscle, minerals, or vitamins when you use hCG. Therefore, you can still maintain good health while losing weight at the same time. Nonetheless, it is always best to consult with a physician before using any type of supplement to aide in losing weight.

Is Hcg Weight Loss Safe For Men: Male Hcg Side Effects

by

Many males looking to lose weight are interested in the use of HCG treatment. The question pertaining to male HCG side effects automatically arises. What are the male HCG side effects of use if there’s any? Are males in any danger while being on HCG Weight Loss plan? Let’s examine these questions more in depth below. If HCG is used correctly there is often little concern for side effects for both male and Female. As a matter of fact, HCG is a natural water-based hormone present in both men and women, although it is produced in great amounts in pregnant females. HCG products can safely be used by both male and female that are looking to get their weight under control. The potential male HCG side effects may include common symptoms associated with diet, such as body fatigue, headaches, irritability, and men may also begin to retain water when they first use HCG. Male HCG side effects can also include the development of soreness or tenderness right in the region where HCG injections are applied, which is a most common side effects while taking injections such as flu shot. In some cases, men have noted the development of restlessness as well, but all of the above side effects are rare in occurrence. If male HCG side effects are noted and become too bothersome, then it is highly recommended that the individual talks to his doctors or clinics for consultation. The side effects produced by HCG use differ between men and women, at least to a certain degree. Women may face more side effects than men do. For example, females who take HCG treatments for fertility purpose run the risk of developing pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and tenderness of breast tissue. However when HCG shots are used for weight loss reasons, a much smaller dosage is used (125 IU comparing to 10,000 IU for fertility purpose 10,000 IU). So there are rarely side effects reported while using HCG diet injections, or oral HCG for weight loss purpose. Any and all male HCG side effects should certainly be monitored. If any effects develop, it is safe for the user of HCG to consult with his physician. It is recommended that one stop HCG weight loss if such side effects develop at any time. Discussing one’s dieting options with a qualified medical professional are also recommended. To learn more about male HCG side effects and HCG for weight loss, I recommend you checking out HCG Weight Loss, where HCG dieters can learn all the necessary information about HCG Weight Loss and share their experiences in losing weight.

HCG Injections for Weight Loss: Will This Work for You?

by

HCG injections for weight loss are something that many people struggling with weight issues think about. HCG shots and diet plan may not necessarily be right for every individual, but there are many individuals that find that HCG shots or oral HCG prove quite helpful in the battle with weight issues. These types of injections have been used for a correct amount of time under the right conditions can help an individual lose weight relatively quick. HCG injections for weight loss were first proposed by Dr. Albert T.W. Simeons, who discovered that this hormone could be used to assist dieters who want to lose weight by helping to curb one’s appetite tremendously. As early as the 1950s, Dr. Simeons had asserted that HCG shots prove beneficial in the dieting endeavor and that it could help an individual maintain a caloric intake of five hundred calories without the effects of deprivation and the sensations of hunger. HCG shots for weight loss are created from hormones that often naturally occur in pregnant women. The latter hormone was discovered to help in transforming unwanted abnormal fats into calories as well as simultaneously offering metabolic boosting properties to those that use it. HCG shots/diet plan is questioned by some since the FDA has not officially approved for the use of HCG in dieting endeavors. Nevertheless, under adequate doctor’s care and observation, those who choose to use HCG for weight loss can do so safely, since FDA has approved using HCG in significantly larger amount for fertility purpose. Individuals on the HCG diet are advised to inject 125 to no more than 200 IU per day, while Fertility clinics routinely inject 10,000 IU into women. There are rarely HCG Diet side effects reported. Few that take HCG injections for weight loss may experience certain side effects. When HCG shots are used for fertility reasons, some patients experience occasional headaches and pregnancy symptoms. However, the amount of HCG used for Weight Loss is much less than that for fertility purpose. Very few complications have been reported by dieters taking HCG diet injections, other than the possible side effects associated with injection itself such as swelling, slight pain and occasional fatigue. However, if side effects are noted while using the hormone, the individual should bring the effects to the attention of a physician immediately. It may be necessary for the doctor to offer another aid for dieting purposes. If allergies present themselves, the consumer is advised to seek out the assistance of a qualified medical professional and to cease using the HCG product.

This website provides tons of resources and reviews about the revolutionary and effective HCG Weight Loss programs and reviews, along with a HCG Weight Loss forum for dieters to share their challenges and successful stories on weight management.

Hcg for Weight Loss

by

The use of hCG for weight loss is once again gaining momentum with the help of 7 millions sales of Kevin Trudeau’s latest book, “The Weight Loss Cure.” Dozens of new websites including hCG Diet Info (www.hcgdietinfo.com) and numerous sub-sites to weight clinics and weight loss practitioners are springing up almost overnight. According to the editor of the hCG Diet Info website, their traffic levels have gone from a few dozen hits a week to several thousand a day almost immediately following Kevin Trudeau’s nightly infomercials.
Fact or Fad? Well, the jury is still out. hCG manufacturers declare that the hCG fertility drugs such as Pregnyl which are described in Trudeau’s book, have no effect regarding weight loss. On the other hand, long-term weight loss professionals and physicians offer thousands of hcg diet success stories. Research and reviews are posted on Dr. Belluscio’s website, hCG Obesity (www.hcgobesity.org) who also happened to have developed the highly demanded oral hCG pills.
The hCG weight loss protocol is declared to not only help an individual lose weight regardless if the dieter uses hCG injections or pills, but to perform a metabolic recovery, where the hypothyroid is said to be reset, boosting the metabolism and increasing the person’s ability to burn fat at a much higher rate. hCG is also said to break down body fat, causing rapid weight loss by mass even before registering on a scale. Simultaneously, it is said to protect the endogenous fat and muscle which the body needs to stay healthy, but also avoiding sagging and loose skin known of excessive of weight loss.
The debate amongst practitioners of these protocols argues that the original hCG diet protocol developed by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons should not be modified, as suggested by many, including Kevin Trudeau. However, thousands of dieters are following Trudeau’s advice, finding little wrong with adding large amounts of tea and organic foods to their menu as opposed to the extremely strict 500 calorie diet described in Dr. Simeons manuscript, “Pounds and Inches” (can be found at www.hcgdietinfo.com for free.) Dr. Belluscio, a devoted follower of the Dr. Simeons hcg diet protocol, reminds dieters of the extensive research that went into Dr. ATW Simeons work.
Claims of the diet being unhealthy are plenty, with questions on the use of natural hCG and the fact that it’s produced from the urine of pregnant women- however, most hCG on the market such as Pregnyl is actually synthetic. In addition, concerns that a 500 calorie diet is stressful to the body and specifically on the muscle tissue of the heart, are met with the explanation that the fat being burnt releases thousands of calories into the system before being expelled.
Regardless of these issues, hCG sales are spiking- not only for the substance itself but for related information and supplies. Unfortunately, along with this comes fraud- particularly from faux websites claiming to sell hCG and other prescription drugs. A warning from hCG Diet Info was released recently, after the editor was contacted by a woman who had wired $500 US Dollars through Western Union to a website claiming to be an overseas pharmacy offering hCG but never heard from them again. To avoid this, hCG Diet Info strongly advises hCG dieters to seek their hCG treatment through a nearby provider but if purchasing hCG on the internet, they warn individuals not to wire money via Western Union and to request reviews of sites before making a purchase.
