HCG injections

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..

Just a quick follow up was just at the Dr.  My Weight is now down 35 pounds my BP went from 192/95 to 138/80 making great progress towards my goal.  My wife is also having similar results.  She is down 30 pounds BP down and feeling great.  The Dr. S protocol is really working for us

HCG is working for me.  I have lost 30.6 #'s in 25 days.  I am eating according to the Dr. Simeons protocol as outlined in Pounds and Inches.  The medical clinic which is monitoring me has been doing this protocol for around 30 years and they have had about a 75% success rate meaning that only 1/4 of people who follow the program regain the weight.  I caution people to do their own research on this and to steer away from the internet for unbiased information.  I will keep you posted as to my success or failure.

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!

Dr Beckerman made a comment about these on his blog.  I think he said he'd read they could be linked to cancer (or caused cancer).
