Prescription, bioidentical HCG can be life changing and can help you lose weight safely, if it is indicated for you. However, Homeopathic hCG is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.
The following pertains only to HOMEOPATHIC HCG:
Homeopathic hCG comes in the form of liquid drops, is sold all over the internet and can sometimes be found in department stores. What most people do not know is that Homeopathic hCG Drops actually do not contain a single drop of hCG!
If Homeopathic drops actually contained any amount of the bioidentical hormone hCG, they would not be allowed to be sold on the open market. HCG is a medication that is regulated and controlled in the United States and can only be prescribed by a licensed physician.
I have seen so many problems with Homeopathic hCG that I am now issuing this warning to consumers: Homeopathic hCG is NOT SAFE and can be very DANGEROUS! Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Homeopathic hCG, when used in conjunction with a Very Low Calorie Diet, does absolutely nothing to help you lose weight, and any weight loss is due solely to the restriction in total daily calories. This type of calorie restriction will put your body into starvation mode and cause rebound weight gain.
2) Homeopathic hCG does not mean “natural hCG” or hCG that is “good for you”. It means that any hCG has been diluted to the point where there is not a drop left in the liquid. Here is a brief quote from www.homeopathic.org :
“The original substance is diluted in liquid repeatedly, and vigorously shaken with each dilution. Unusual as it sounds, these very small amounts of remedies can act very strongly when used properly. Also, because the remedies are very diluted, they are extremely safe. The homeopathic doctor chooses the proper remedy by following a special rule of nature called the Law of Similars. This law states “like cures like.” There are literally hundreds of high quality, published basic science, pre-clinical and clinical studies showing that homeopathy works. These studies have been published in respected journals like Lancet, Pediatrics, Rheumatology, and Annals of Internal Medicine, among others.”
While homeopathy is a well respected form of medicine that is backed by scientific research with proven efficacy, Homeopathic hGC is nothing more than a scam and is actually being used against the “law of similars”.
3) Homeopathic hCG, if used properly by a homeopathic doctor, would actually be given to a patient that was LOSING TOO MUCH WEIGHT. If a patient was losing too much weight, and needed to gain weight, a homeopathic doctor might actually consider giving that patient Homeopathic hCG, but only to help them GAIN WEIGHT. If you are taking Homeopathic hCG to LOSE weight, be informed and warned that you are actually going to make yourself GAIN weight by taking that Homeopathic hCG – if it does anything at all! As I have said before, any weight loss noticed on a very low calorie diet while using Homeopathic hCG is due solely to calorie restriction.
I have seen more than 40 patients in my personal practice that have actually gained a considerable amount of weight after having first tried Homeopathic hCG that they purchased online prior to coming into my office for true and effective medical treatment with prescription bioidentical hCG. HCG works very well to assist patients in losing weight naturally – but only prescription bioidentical hCG works!
