I have called and searched and searched.  I couldn't find anything except one that does b12.  I think I am going to make an appointment for the one in Statesville for next week.  It seems alot of people have had success with them from this forum and I can probably manage to drive once a month there.  check them out.

Just know that paricular office will only provide you with 1 shot per week with 35 i.u.'s of hcg. which doesn't fo much.  Most plans call for at least 5 per week and are higher doses.

Thanks for letting me know.  That doesn't sound like it will do much.  I would love to order it online but it seems like most all the websites I have found you have to pay alot of fees to join and all this talk about trying to mix the stuff kind of scares me!  I have read where some are doing online "programs" and get the stuff premixed (yeah...more up my alley) BUT I emailed with one lady and it cost her close to $800 for 60 days.  That seems like alot too.  I just don't know what to do!!!!!!  I am so frustrated I could sit down and cry.

You'll spend about $160 1st visit w/o buying additional products. 4 weeks later about $120 -140 and every 4 weeks after that...again w/o products. But, that is one shot @ 35 i.u's. I'm guessing if you rec'd more it might work better/faster. It seems most people on here take at least 5 shots a wk...usually 200 iu's each.  That clinic has worked for some people so don't judge by me. Personally, I feel the people are losing due to decreased cal intake and not the hcg.  I just can't afford almost $180 per month which I'm now giving him.  He makes $4300 on what will cost me $23.  Thanks, doc...but I'll do it myself....lol.  If you go, keep me up to date w/your progress and good luck.

What other kind of products do they sell?  What kind of shots do they say they send home with you...B12?  Would he increase the dose of hcg?  Probably not because you wouldn't have to keep coming back!  Are you planning to try an online clinic?

I live in Olive Branch, MS which is right over the line from Memphis, TN.  I went to a website www.hcgdiet.com and I do it from there.  They will talk to you about it and you will have to send them some forms, by e-mail or fax, and your most recent blood work.  I went to my doctor and told them about it, which they are hesitant about it and got my blood work done.  I am 52 and in great health so I do this by e-mail and fax.  They will talk with you (a girl name Kathy) and tell you about the program and answer any question you have.  Also the owner, Noka Noble, owner of Native Healing Ways, will give you her cell number and you can call her or Kathy anytime or e-mail them and they will get back to you.  If you are a good candidate they will tell you how long you need to be on the program, I am going to be doing the shots for 6 weeks or less, and they will mail you the shots and a lot of litature along with the shots.  They mail you a month supply of the shots and on their website it tells you about the shots, which ones to take and how to take them.  You put a weeks worth in the refridge and put 3 weeks in the freezer.  You only take the shots Mon-Fri and rest on Sat and Sun.  On Sat you get out the next week of shots and put them in the refridge.  My husband gives me the shots and it kind of stings going in, but then you don't hurt after that and you are not sore anywhere.  If you decide to do this, let them know I referred you because I get a weeks worth of shots free.  The start up fee and taking to Kathy and Noka anytime is $99.00.  The shots are $196.00 for a month.  This may sound like a lot of money, but consider it works and you want gain the weight back is more than worth the money.  I started out at 164 lbs and I want to get down to 130 lbs.  If you want to you can call me anytime on my cell phone or give my cell phone to anyone who has a question about this at 901-268-0601.  Barbara
