If You Are Buying HCG Drops Online You Are Either Being Ripped Off or You Are Taking Part In A Felony!
Some people are illegally buying inexpensive HCG to avoid doctors visits, via the Internet. Beware that buying prescription medications via unlicensed non USA pharmacies without a US valid prescription is dangerous and illegal.
“ We have heard reports of patients developing infections from injecting dirty water purchased on the Internet and thought to be HCG”
We have heard reports of Nigerian and Russian organized crime syndicates distributing professionally printed and packaged imitation HCG via the Internet. US customs has seized numerous shipments and Federal prosecutors have actually prosecuted US citizens illegally purchasing medications from foreign countries.
Furthermore, many of the so-called "homeopathic" HCG drops being sold on the internet have little or no available HCG. Recent data has shown that homeopathic "HCG" is a liquid preparation comprised of a mixture of vitamins, herbal stimulants, alcohol, and microscopic trace amounts of HCG if any at all. Dr. Simeons treated his patients with various dosages of the HCG hormone and found that 125 IU's was the minimum required to effectively capitalize on the release of abnormal fats.
Doctor supervised legitimate pharmaceutical HCG diet programs will require blood testing, a physical exam and a complete medical health history before qualifying and prescribing the HCG hormone "off label" for weight loss. Pharmaceutical HCG hormone medication must be physician prescribed, obtained, manufactured, and dispensed from a reputable US based pharmacy.
Our physician will prescribe HCG only to patients that come into the office and are determined to be appropriate for HCG Diet by blood work, physical exam and detailed history. We use only US Licensed Pharmacies to dispense HCG
There is a profound difference between Pharmaceutical HCG hormone and “Homeopathic HCG” Drops when following the HCG Diet Protocol. “Homeopathic HCG” has been shown to contain a variety of the following substances: water, alcohol, vitamins, filtered microscopic trace amounts of HCG if any at all and various herbal stimulants. This suggests that “Homeopathic HCG” has no relationship to the HCG Hormone (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin).
Pharmaceutical HCG hormone can only be obtained by a written prescription from a licensed physician and cannot be purchased off the Internet. If you have purchased “HCG drops” off the Internet, you have most likely purchased "Homeopathic HCG" which does NOT require a prescription because it does not contain the real pharmaceutical HCG hormone.
Dr. ATW Simeons, the originator of the HCG Diet Protocol, suggests that pharmaceutical HCG for the purpose of weight loss must contain a minimum of 125 IU (international units) of pharmaceutical HCG hormone delivered daily. HCG must only be prescribed by a physician and dispensed from a reputable US based pharmacy.
At The Cleansing Clinic we conduct our programs under the supervision of a licensed physician, require specific blood testing, comprehensive physical exam and detailed health history in order for qualification. Blood tests are crucial in determining whether an individual is healthy enough to undertake a very low calorie diet.
The HCG Diet Protocol is based off the theory that the HCG Hormone triggers your body to release stored fats and deliver the nutrition it needs to supplement a low caloric intake. If you are not getting this supplementation of calories because you are using a homeopathic mixture, your body most likely will deplete lean muscle tissue and will not capitalize on releasing excess stored f at reserves. As a result, your metabolism may slow down with the loss of lean muscle mass and the feeling of hunger, weakness and fatigue will most certainly occur. Additionally, the health risks can be damaging for dieters that are unaware of potential underlying medical conditions because the proper physician supervision, blood testing and comprehensive physical exam were not performed or required.
Some advertisements to take notice are those that are promoting “Homeopathic HCG” may include the following terms: “Prescription Strength HCG Drops”, “Highest Quality HCG Drops” or “High Purity HCG Drops”.
In conclusion, although you would most likely lose weight by restricting calories, the question is what type of weight am I losing? Healthy tissues or unhealthy tissues? In the short term there is weight and fat loss but lean muscle is also lost. Lean muscle controls metabolism and these diets ultimately cause the metabolism to slow down, thereby prolonging roller coaster dieting and potentially harming your body.
