Hey, I'm simply informing you of the research and our clinical experience. Its not about fear (as I dont' think HCG in itself is dangerous) or profit, cuz i frankly don't care if you come to our clinic or not. We aren't hurting for patients, believe me.
You will lose weight following the very low calorie diet associated with the HCH protocol (with or without HCG). 90% of patients having come through our clinic having used the HCG protocol lost a lot of weight. 90% of those gained all the weight back within six months of stopping the diet. Most of them went back to eating the same kind of crappy diet that caused the obesity in the first place, never addressed their emotional relationship with food, never addressed underlying serotonin and dopamine deficiency, and never addressed underlying hormone problems.
Simmeons pounds/inches paper is from 1954. Seems to me plenty of time to validate his research. Since Simeons first introduced the concept of using hCG injections for weight loss, there have been approximately 50 years of extensive, double-blind research studies performed to test its efficacy.
Although there are a few positive studies (mostly from HCG clinics following Simmeons protocol) most double blind placebo controlled trials where patients received either HCG injections or placebo and followed identical VLC diets, show no difference in amount of weight lost, type of weight lost, hunger level, or mood.
If it works for you, fine... but i'm telling you now, its not the miracle its adherents are claiming it to be.
