The minimal concentration if any of hCG hormone in homeopathic HCG drops is too dilute to access the body’s stored fat reserves and spare lean muscle.
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) May 13, 2010
Physicians at Inches and Pounds report 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).
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that attempts to treat patients with heavily diluted preparations. Depending on the dilution, homeopathic remedies may not contain any pharmacologically active molecules, and for such remedies to have pharmacological effect would violate fundamental principles of science. (Homeopathy. (2010, May 12). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 16:41, May 12, 2010, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Homeopathy&oldid=361630160)
Pharmaceutical hCG hormone can only be obtained by a written prescription from a licensed physician and cannot be purchased off the Internet. If "HCG drops" are purchased off the Internet, they are most likely "Homeopathic HCG" which does NOT require a prescription because it does NOT contain a sufficient quantity of real pharmaceutical hCG hormone for the purpose of weight loss.
Dr. A.T.W. 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. Pharmaceutical hCG must only be prescribed by a physician and dispensed from a reputable US based pharmacy.
Inches and Pounds is the industry leader in promoting the hCG diet protocol because 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 or low calorie diet.
The hCG Diet Protocol is based on the theory that the hCG hormone triggers the body to release stored fats and deliver the nutrition it needs to supplement a low caloric intake. If a person is not getting this supplementation of calories because they are using a homeopathic mixture, they most likely will deplete lean muscle tissue and will not capitalize on releasing excess stored fat reserves. As a result, 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.
Dr. Connie Odom Medical Director of Inches and Pounds, LLC says, "The minimal concentration if any of hCG hormone in homeopathic HCG drops is too dilute to access the body's stored fat reserves and spare lean muscle." and " Any weight loss on homeopathic HCG is most likely muscle tissue and water weight."
Some advertisements to take notice of that are promoting "Homeopathic HCG" may include the following terms: "Prescription Strength HCG Drops", "Highest Quality HCG Drops", "High Purity HCG Drops", "Physician Grade", "HCG Professional Grade" or "Prescription Grade HCG Drops".
"Homeopathic HCG" drops are not to be confused with hCG sublingual drops. The sublingual hCG, although not an injection, is another method of administering pharmaceutical hCG in a different way i.e. (under the tongue). Often people confuse homeopathic drops with sublingual hCG, thinking it is the same thing.
In conclusion, although an individual would most likely lose weight by restricting calories, the question is what type of weight are they losing? Are they 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 the body. It is important to keep these facts in mind when asking the the question "where can I buy hCG".
