HCG Injection - Safe?

by curiousgirl06, Apr 03, 2006 12:00AM
I'm considering the hcg injections. I weigh between 145 and 150. I would like to be ~125 / 130. I heard there is a clinic in Shelby NC giving the hcg injections. Can anyone tell me why they are not FDA approved? Does anyone know the side effects? Where a practice gets the hcg? How well is it tested (since it is from "human stuff")? What if the "human" had diseases? I really want to do it, but kind of scared? Someone out know the answers?? Thanks for all your help! curiousgirl06

A doctor in Cherryville told my friend yesterday that it is a physicians assistant in Shelby that is giving the shots. She

was taking phentermine by itself and she said that it made her

heart flutter. Anyway, she is thinking about taking the shots-the doctor actually said that he would recommend it. She's just not sure about the side effects. If I find out the doctors name I will post it on this web site if it allowed-if not I could e-mail you. One thing the doctor told her was that these shots are

being heavily researched again before all doctors start to push them for weight loss.

I joined Totally Fit 4 Life 1920 East Marion Street Shelby NC. on monday.Had the shot and phentermine 37.5 I can allready see a diffrence in the way my shorts fit.Oh The number is         704-481-0295 The PA name is Debra powell PA. They not only give you the HCG shot but they also give you a guide on things to eat,supplements to hance the diet pills it is avery good program the only side efects are (A) brest tendreness (1 outof 200 patients)and very rarely (B)Menstrual irregularities (1 in 5) If you have had a history of breast cancer ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer you should not take this. It is used as a fertility drug but you have to take a much higher dose you would have to get 140 shots at one time to for increased fertility. The cost of the first vist is $150.00 to get the shot it is $10.00 and the pills you get is $14.96 for #30 at the pharmacy. total cost for every thing is $174.96 If you are like me I try to lose 15 20 lbs and I spent about $60.00 on the online meds that dont work like the hoodia pills.and nevre lose the weight. this time I can REALLY see the diffrence in 5 days. Oh and you can take the shot1 x or 2x a week.and i do like that so i can lose faster. Good luck with this im sure if you chose to join then you will see a big change.

Do you know if they have a clinic in Houston, Texas?  I would so like to try it.  Have anyone did their reseach on the hypothalmus gland?  I have read up on it and it sounds interesting. I am so desperate to lose about 40 pounds.  If anyone knows of a clinic in houston, please post it.

Hi I was wondering if you could update me on the results. Are you going to the Weight loss, cosmetic & surgical centers of America? I'm using Dr. Eugene Kang and I've lost 6lbs in 1 week.
