What are Doctors thinking about the HCG injections for weight loss? Is is safe and does it work? I am considering a diet that says its a miracle hormone. I'd like to hear from some Medical Doctors please..

Hi Grandma Debbie, HCG does not work. It may also have side effects that can be very concerning - I don't recommend it!
By the way, any diet that uses the word "miracle" is probably to be avoided...there's no such thing!
