I am looking for Hcg in Houston. I have read Dr. Simeons, "Pounds and Inches" and would love to try it but I am having a great deal of trouble finding the Hcg in the individual doses as Dr. Simeon perscribes. Does anyone know where I can get Hcg in Houston Texas?
( from this sites people) As I've started to answer questions here at MedHelp.org, I'm flabbergasted about the number of readers that are looking for HCG injections for weight loss.
HCG injections do not cause weight loss. I'm sorry to burst all your bubbles, but it just doesn't.
hmm..odd...
HCG (Generic name: Human chorionic gonadotropin)
Pregnyl by Organon. 5,000 to 20,000 IU (International Units) per 10 cc vials. This drug is not a steroid but it is widely used in athletics today. HCG is a natural protein hormone secreted by the human placenta and purified form the urine of pregnant women. This hormone is not a natural male hormone but mimics the natural hormone LH (Luetinising Hormone) almost identically. This LH stimulates the production of testosterone by the testis in males. Thus HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCG’s effect on the leydig cells of the testis. not sure how this would affect fat cells ? nor weight loss ? Normally this HCG is used to treat women with certain ovarian disorders and it is used to stimulate the testis of men who may be hypogonadal. Athletes use HCG to increase the body’s own natural production of testosterone which is often depressed by long term steroid use. Also when steroids are used in high dosages they can cause false signals to the hypothalamus that results in a depressed signal to the testicles. Over a period of weeks of this depressed signal the testicles ability to respond to any signal from the pituitary becomes very weak, which results in testicular atrophy. again...what's this got to do with fat loss ?To avoid this athletes will use HCG to keep an artificial signal going to the testis and preventing testicular atrophy. When administered, HGC raises serum testosterone very quickly. A rise in testosterone firs appears in about two hours after injecting HCG. The second peak occurs about two to four days later.
HCG therapy has been found to be very effective in the prevention of testicular atrophy and to use the body’s own biochemical stimulating mechanisms to increase plasma testosterone level during training. Some steroid users find that they have some of their best strength and size gains while using HCG in conjunction with the steroids. This may wee be due to the facts that the body has high level of natural androgens as well as the artificial steroid hormones at that time.
The optimal dosage for an athlete using HCG has never been established, but it is thought that a single shot of 1000 to 2000 IU per week will get the desired results. Cycles on the HCG should be kept down to three weeks at a time with an off cycle of at least a month in between. For example, one might use the HCG for two to three weeks in the middle of a cycle, and for two or three weeks at the end of a cycle. It has been speculated that the prolonged use of HCG could repress the body’s own production of gonadotropins permanently. This is why the short cycles are the best way to go.
The side effects from HCG use include gynecomastia, water retention, and an increase in sex drive, mood alterations, headaches, and high blood pressure. HCG raises androgen levels in males by up to 400% but it also raises estrogen levels dramatically as well. This is why it can cause a real case of gynecomastia if dosages get too elevated for that person. Another side effect seen from HCG use is morning sickness (nausea and vomiting). There have been no cases of overdose complications with the use of HCG nor have there been any associated carcinomas, liver or renal impairment. HCG was at one point looked at to see if it could carry the AIDS virus, due to the fact that it is biologically active, but the latest word is that this could not be possible in any way. So we see how HCG be used by athletes to avoid some of the problems associated with abruptly stopping a steroid cycle. This product is also not picked up on steroid tests, so some athletes use it to keep androgen levels high before a contest that has drug testing. HCG must be refrigerated after it is mixed together, and it then has a life of about 10 weeks. It is taken intramuscularly only; this drug is often available by order of a physician if you show symptoms of hypogonadism. It is hard to find on the black market.
now I know most will say this is big athletes...but that's not true..nor change the facts about this product..with all do respect...after 25 people..(3 top pro athletes) many many reports..books..info...me my self..would 100% not take this..and in no way do I think it can help with weight loss....with all due respect..till I see solid proof I'm wrong..that's my opinion..so no yelling at me..lol
Haven't heard of a legitimate one in Houston. Heard about one in Houston (don't remember any info about it) that a person was very unhappy with because they thought it was scaming people.
There are a few Clinics scattered over the country. If you aren't lucky enough to live in a City where there is one, you might think about Traveling to a clinic for the first visit. After that, they mail supplies. NHW (native healing ways) and Transformations have several clinics in Oklahoma (Tulsa), Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina. There is one in Ft Worth, but they don't work the same way - you would have to visit clinic more often.
Innova clinic offers the Hcg shot combined with b-12 only once a week, you also follow a 1200 calorie diet. Which I did for the first 3 days and thereafter I ate normal. I feel that I lost the lbs the first 2 days after the shot and even though I ate normal I did not gain them back. I only lost 3.6, but I am o.k. since I don't have much weight to loose.
6-15-07 about your question re availability of hcg:
hcg is available ligitimately through a place called hcgdiet.com. they have been in bus 17 years.
do not listen to naysayers of hcg. It is not a drug, if it is safe in pregnant women, it cannot possibly hurt in infentesimal amounts compared what pregnant woman release during pregnancy.
kevin trudeau is not hurting anyone by passing along info to those who want safe alternative weightloss. i have heard of enough real life results from real life people that i am cetain that the hcg works. i have not started the diet yet, but will the next week.
feel free to post info, i will hang with you and do it together
good luck
bellalimena
the above link sends u to what appears to be the full 40+ cgh manuscript by dr. simeons. i will say that even though i thank kevin trudeau for his exposure of hcg, i can do my own research about hcg myself, wo also monitizing his pockets....
the manuscript is free and i would save it and hang on to it.

I found a website for Hcg and began the protocol on May 27th. I cannot believe the results. I follow the 500 calorie diet and am never hungry. I work out 6 days a week of aerobics and 3 weight training sessions and have not had to scale back due to the restricted calories. I began weighing 150 pounds and am 5'3. I now weigh 128 pounds. Most important is that the fat that is coming off is in all the abnormal fat stores for my body, the abs, hips and thighs. There have been days were I have lost 2 pounds to days were I lost half a pound. Good Luck to anyone who wants to try this. It is a big committment but it is working so far.
I got the hcg through GHI Medical. You can easily find them. I have been very pleased with the results. I started on May 27 at 150 pounds and as of today I weigh 122 pounds. Good Luck!
hi: thanks so much for your posts re hcg and your progress. i was wondering how you are still doing since this last post was over a month ago now. looking for the hcg and ready to make the dietary and lifestyle changes. thanks!
Searching for more info on CGH,
I found this information which says that tis same hormone cgh, is heightened in cancer.
Very scary, cancer patients do seem to get eaten up...
very scary, to tak it to loose weight.
"In his brilliantly researched 1974 book World Without Cancer, researcher and author G. Edward Griffin explains the trophoblastic theory of cancer proposed by Professor John Beard of Edinburgh University, which states that certain pre-embryonic cells in pregnancy differ in no discernible way from highly-malignant cancer cells. Edward Griffin continues:
"The trophoblast in pregnancy indeed does exhibit all the classical characteristics of cancer. It spreads and multiplies rapidly as it eats its way into the uterus wall preparing a place where the embryo can attach itself for maternal protection and nourishment."
The trophoblast is formed in a chain reaction by another cell that Griffin simplifies down to the 'total life' cell, which has the total capacity to evolve into any organ or tissue, or a complete embryo. When the total life cell is triggered into producing trophoblast by contact with the hormone estrogen, present in both males and females, one of two different things happens. In the case of pregnancy the result is conventional development of a placenta and umbilical cord. If the trophoblast is triggered as part of a healing process however, the result is cancer or, as Edward Griffin cautions: "To be more accurate, we should say it is cancer if the healing process is not terminated upon completion of its task."
Stunning proof of this claim is readily available. All trophoblast cells produce a unique hormone called the chorionic gonadotrophic ( CGH ) which is easily detected in urine. Thus if a person is either pregnant or has cancer, a simple CGH pregnancy test should confirm either or both. It does, with an accuracy of better than 92% in all cases. If the urine sample shows positive it means either normal pregnancy or abnormal malignant cancer. Griffin notes: "If the patient is a woman, she either is pregnant or has cancer. If he is a man, cancer can be the only cause." So why all of the expensive, dangerous biopsies carried to 'detect' cancerous growths? One can only assume that medicare pays doctors a larger fee for biopsies than pregnancy tests. "
So what was the purpose of posting this? This is an evaluation to determine the presence of cancer. It does not state HCG causes cancer. Home pregnancy tests are based on the method to detect the presence HCG in the urine. This only states that if CGH is detected you are pregnant or possibly have a cancerous tumor. Nothing about causing cancer.......
Hi! Could you tell me where you injected your hcg? I hope someone is still checking this forum. I know I'm a little late. My hcg is on the way and I've heard different views on where to inject. Trudeau says the outer upper quadrant of the buttocks but ghi medical says the fat of the belly. Please let me know.
HCG injections do not cause weight loss. I'm sorry to burst all your bubbles, but it just doesn't.
For dozens of years these have been specifically not allowed by the FDA for treatment of obesity and weight loss. I recall that it's sometimes prescribed as part of infertility treatments and IVF, though. Here's the link to FDA guidance about those wanting to advertise about HCG injections
" FDA requires all labeling and advertising of HCG to state that it has not been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of obesity. The ads must also state that HCG is not approved by FDA as safe and effective in treatment of obesity of weight control."
