Releana

[Maw6520]

Has any one experienced side effects while using releana?

[okie918]

Is the realena as effective as injections..........does it reset the hypothalamus (sp) gland........does the weightstay off....

[weightlossdoc]

releana has shown to be as effective as the hcg injections without side effects and helping patients easily keep the weight off in over 100 patients in our clinic.  William Nelson, NMD Chandler, AZ

I used Relena and lost more inches than lbs.  It was easy at first but then I stopped because I kept having break through bleeding memopause for 11/2 years ???? Could never get ahold of the doctor to asks if this was normal..  no call back.
After 1 year I did gain some of the weight back but am at it again knowing I will drop more and keep all my weight off this time.

I used Releana for about two weeks. I started to have swelling in my arms and legs, that I never had before starting Releana.  I stopped using it (2 days ago because I broke the bottle). I'm not purchasing anymore because of the swelling, and I don't think it helped me drop the 15lbs I've lost. The high calorie-restriction is what made me drop the weight and I'm still losing.  Besides, the taste of it always made me gag!  LOL!

I am just starting Releana today is my first day...so I will let you all know how it goes!  I just completed my 2 days of load up--even though I really didn't load up as I have been doing low carb.  I did eat a piece of cake and some rice over this weekend so hopefully this will be enough fat.  I hope I am not too hungry because I fixed my lunch/dinner and it is not a lot of food :(.  I am used to low carb and eating meat and cheese and stuff....so this is going to be drastic!  But I am hoping for the last 20 -30 lbs to come off this month of Releana treatment...!  

[oklizajane]

Before I started using Releana I had already been watching what I ate, low carb and low fat so the 2 days of loading was hard me also.  At first I didn't think it was helping but once I started moving, walking 45min - 1 hr at least once a day I'm seeing results.  Since May 22nd I've lost 19 lbs and feel a lot better.  I haven't measure but I can tell in clothes where the weight is coming off.  Only thing I've noticed is hair loss, anyone else have this happen??  I've never experienced this before and I'm a little nervous about it now.  Any ideas?

I am a 46 years old female. 3 years ago I was on the program called OptiFast and I lost 35 pounds in 3 months. However I did have to stop because I was having gallbladder attacks. I did holistically take the gallstones out by doing the gallbladder flush (olive oil, epsom salts, grapefruit juice). I know it worked because of the Ultra Sound that was taken before and after of my gallbladder. I also have been trying to eat raw food and not alot of meat and chicken.

My question is... I really want to do this program but I am afraid of having a gallbladder attack again. What do you think is the risk in me going on the RELEANA program and it triggering a gallbladder attack?

I am willing to try it but would just like to get the opinion of another doctor or of anyone else who might have had any kind of experience with this program and gallbladder problems.

Thank you for your comments.

I started Releana three months ago, and I am down 35 pounds, no side effects and there is no injection it is liquid for under my tongue.  I do a vitamin B shot once a week though.  It has been a miracle for me!  I am 50 and nothing worked anymore.  I went from a 16 to a size 8 in this three months and the energy is unbelievable.  I have more energy at 50 than when I was 20.  I am under doctor care.  This is the hormone that your body  produces when you are pregnant and not being pregnant and going on a low fat diet it has sucked the fat out of me!  Weight wise I should only be down to a size ten but the inches are more than I expected and now my DREAM GOAL SIZE of 8 is down to a 6!

I am on day 7 of my Releana program--it has been A LOT harder than expected--Besides being SO hungry--I have felt very light headed, nauseous, and occasionally heart palpatations.   It is always worse in the morning.  Is this a normal part of the program and does the hunger eventually lessen???

[Nikki1220]

How do you go about getting Releana? I live in PA and I have been on the Releana website, but it is in California. THanks for any information.

[Becky10]

I heard about Releana through the doctor I was seeing.   He specializes in  alternative medicine and had information posted in his office.  I then, inquired about the program and got started.  I would think most alternative practices would be familiar with Releana.  
  I am now on day 11 and feeling a lot better than I was on day 7--the hunger is subsiding and I have lost 11lbs. so far.

[Nikki1220]

alternative medicine DR., I am not too familar with that, i have always just used my PCP or an actual weight loss dr. How would I go about looking into finding a Alternative med Dr.? THat is great about your weight loss! Thanks again for the info and any other information you may have.

I am on week 5 of my Releana program.  I have lost 20 lbs but better than that I have lost 44 inches in all the right places!  My clothes were falling off of me.  I went from a size 10 to a 6 in just 5 weeks.  

Side effects...yes!  My cellulite is almost gone, the fine lines on my face are disappearing, my hair is shiny and healthy like when I was in High School, all my stomach problems are no longer ...all side effects have been benefits!

I was tossing and turning between injections and the Releana and I am so glad I found the Releana!

[Dr_KK]

I saw joifulee (above) this weekend for the first time since she started Releana and all I can say is WOW!  She is Itty Bitty and looking Super Sexy!  I am a Chiropractor and I know so many people that could benefit overall health by losing weight. I have done extensive research on HCG weight loss therapy so that I could make recommendations both to my patients and family. In this country we are plagued with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and joint pains. Ironically we have the power ourselves in most cases to better our health without medications for each illness.  Weight loss is the first step. Unfortunately over and over I see patients REALLY TRY to lose weight and are unsuccessful. Most of these patients are females mid 40's + in other words heading towards menopause. They diet and exercise and it just doesn't come off like it use to. After getting no results they get frustrated and quit. I believe in doing all that you can first to heal yourself first before medicine except in life threatening circumstances. Do you eat a gylcemic indexed diet, exercise, get enough sleep, drink enough water and take nutrients? If you can answer yes then I believe that medicine maybe the answer.
The truth is nobody really knows or agrees how HCG works. Actually if you read medical reviews there is little difference between HCG and very low calorie diets. I ask myself then why over and over do people swear that it helped them? And I SAW the results on joifulee who is one of my patients and has struggled with her weight ever since menopause. I about fell over!
There is so much about medicine that can not be explained. Just because no one can prove how it works, does not mean that it doesn't work. It goes for all medicine that it won't ever work on EVERYONE even when they can explain it.
There is little good research out there. Many of the studies were flawed and there are so few. The side effects are undocumented and long term benefits or side effects are unknown.
It comes down to looking at the benefits against the risks of being overweight. The dosage is small. It is a naturally occurring hormone which means our bodies recognize it. The treatment is short term. Although I would rather see my patients take it sublingually first before injections. After all I have read I recommended it to my mother. She starts Friday. Which does more damage? Being overweight or taking HCG? It is still to be determined but certainly in some cases I believe it's worth a try!

I lost 42 pounds in 3 months and have kept it off. My clothes have dropped two dress sizes and continuing downward!  People tell me how fantastic I look now, without any prodding from me.  I eat well and don't feel deprived.  I love the program and no longer hate getting my picture taken.

[Schnaumom]

I started the Releana program with a local physician on June 18, 2008. I stopped on Sept. 29, 2008. In those three months, I lost a total of 48 lbs and dropped from a 16 to a 12. I've felt better than I have in years! I did experience hunger and a nagging headache the first week and a half. The taste is one that is quite unique as well. YUCK! BUT if it gets the job done, which it did, I'll do it again. The hunger pangs seemed to taper off as my body adjusted to the low calorie intake. I stopped taking the Releana because my body simply stopped burning the fat. I will continue on it again after the first of the year. I still need another 30 lbs or so to get to my healthy BMI. Without this treatment, I seriously doubt I would have been able to lose the weight. I have a thyroid disorder and RA so it was difficult for me, not impossible though.

[AndreaLynn42]

Today is day 2 of loading, which has been difficult because my eating habits have been relatively healthy. I am mentally prepared for starting tomorrow and I'm looking forward to a lighter, more energetic, healthier me. I look forward to documenting my journey here.

Greetings- I just completed 30 days taking Releana along with hunger surpressentns. My start weight was 170.6  and today it's at 152.8 that's a little over 17 lbs of fat loss. I'm 36 yrs old and it's getting harder to loss weight, but this seems to be working. Yes, the 1st & 2nd week were very tough. I felt dizzy and very hungry mostly in the morning - it did get better after about 2pm. In the middle of the 2nd week - I started to feel very sad, depressed like. I was crying all the time - I really can't say whether it was Releana, my job, my boyfriend or pms. I broke up with my boyfriend this week, I asked my employer for next week off and I don't expect my menstrual cycle anytime soon. I did renew my prescription for another month of Releana - I just hope this month will a lot better for me. The overeating or craving has not been an issue for me on Releana. However, I did cheat at the movies when I ordered a medium bag of popcorn with a little bit of butter this past Saturday. I was warned by the Dr that my projected weight loss for the next month will be between 11-15lbs at the most. I might start working out to drop more weight faster - I enjoy the challenge. It keeps my mind off my ex-boyfriend!  Good Luck Ladies

Hi Again- I wanted to give you my dress size stats: I started at size 12 and today I am wearing a size 8! My goal is to be in a size 2 or 4 - that's between 120-125lbs. I'm 36, 5'5", 36DD and med boned. That means another 2mos on Releana - I hope!

Hi
I never believe on ll these things, if you want to reduce your weight you have to control on your eating.  I have also reduced my weight with the help of Mark Patrick's program. Programs is really awesome and its gives a way to live healthier life. Their weight loss programs are designed to help eliminate the behaviors that are making us overweight.  Really it worked for me and I have reduced my weight. I think you people also have to try it and I hope you will also find some great results in yourself.

Started the program last Monday and I've lost 10 lbs. so far.  I'm not hungry; just the opposite. I didn't exercise the first week, but I'm starting that today.

[Catske]

Thanks!!!!!!

I am a 49 year old female.  After watching my 50 year old neighbor lose 95 pounds on Releana in about 8 months, I was so impressed I decided to research hcg.  I watched mamaclok's videos on you tube, read Kevin Trudeau's Weight Loss Cure and Dr. Simeyon's Pounds and Inches. I also read Yahoo hcg dieters group message board and scoured the internet for adverse or negative reports about hcg.  Since I do not have gall bladder issues and am in relatively good health (outside of needing to lose 120 lbs), I made an appointment with a local physician to do the Releana program.  So far it has been 78 days since starting and I am down 40 lbs and feeling great.  I have been able to do this without any exercise, although I hope to incorporate 30 minutes of walking per day soon.  I am very pleased and intend to continue using Releana until I reach my goal weight.
