We own a medical clinic and have performed trials using HCG as well as documented and followed patients coming to our clinic that have gone through the HCG protocol at other clinics. 90% have gained the weight back after 6 months, having not changed their lifestyle choices. Regarding fat being worse for the body 'sir'. Rapid fat loss causes a release of toxicity to the body that can cause sickness or disease. We have had colleagues have to stop the protocol as their patients got too sick to continue. The research we have reviewed goes back 60 years and includes research in this country as well as other countries. Please find me a peer reviewed medical study that shows HCG has any affect taken orally. I'm not making any false or scary claims. HGG is more than likely harmless. It also has no benefit at the dosage prescribed and other than Simmeons and his followers, no study has shown any advantages over a low calorie diet, pure and simple. Women need to be supported. This support comes in the form of educating women to make an informed decision about their health 'sir'. Although certainly not a fan of the FDA, there is a reason that since 1975, the FDA requires the following information to be given with any HCG advertised or promoted for weight loss:
HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.
