Thinking about OraThin?

by onvibrate, May 31, 2007 12:00AM
This is for people who are searching the internet,
determined to do the real Dr. Simeon protocol, but hate needles and are thinking about going with OraThin. (Google anything having to do with Oral HCG and any words like it, or anything close to this diet, and see who pops up everytime. NCS. com) It's now my mission to save people their $150. Mine is gone...


...for product questions or mailing address, please email
sales@NaturalCuresStore.

So I did. After I ordered, I was nagged by the thought that there was probably no hCG in this product, so I wrote them from their website after I saw the ingredients. That question was not attached to the email they sent in return shown below. I had asked if Orathin acted just like hCG in releasing secured fat cells.

Dear Madam or Sir:

Thank you for your email and congratulations on your steps toward good health! We are always grateful for our valued customers' input and have found over the last eight years that your emails are our best resource for improvement. OraThin is intended as a safe replacement in the Simeon's Protocol to the hormone injections that cause your body to simulate pregnancy. The Oral hCG Alternative replaces the frowned upon hormone treatment for obesity.

Rexx Lab's is proud of their product and we are confident in selling it. The OraThin brand is produced by Rexx Labs with conscious care for quality and results. Rexx-Labs' most powerful all-natural proprietary protocol, used as an analogical synthesis to hCG, is the industry standard for hCG alternatives. Preferred over hCG due to the absence of the dangerously high hormonal spikes normally associated with hCG. We believe these spikes to be one of the many reasons that the FDA opposes the use of hCG in the treatment of obesity.

The products that we offer are safer and of better quality in our
opinion. Our opinion is based upon our customers' use and testimony and our executives' personal use. Our company is a distributor of natural products. These products are those that we have either received great reports from our customers about, or are recommended by Kevin Trudeau, Dr. Thomas Hohn, and others, and are also used by the executives of our company; they will not sell what they would not use. See what some of our recent customers have had to say:

efficacy; side effects and or contraindications, please ask them of the manufacturer at RexxLabs.

Subject: Re: OraThin the Oral hCG Alternative

please answer my question. does this 'synthesis' release secure fat reserves? or am i just using another (and much more expensive) appetite suppressant and temporary metabolism booster? i was already using l-carnitine.

(hcg levels in the diet are tremendously smaller than in actual
pregnancy - but i don't really want to discuss that with you or the FDA)

The shipment of pills were already here. It was too late for me. I just had to open the box and see what this stuff was.

I found this on one of their links today...(the second half is my
favorite part!)

Got any takers on that challenge. Someone who's almost done with number one could do it...

I've been on the Orathin for over a week now because I'm waiting for the REAL hcg to get here and I'd like to lost 10 more lbs before I start my injections. Every day on Orathin I have wanted to cheat! I even have cheated a few times!! I do not feel energized, and I'm often hungry. I knew from the beginning this wasn't going to cure my problem, but I thought I would feel a lot better while doing it. I don't know how anyone else feels on Orathin, but I don't exactly love it.

by onvibrate, Jun 02, 2007 12:00AM
hopefully you can go straight to the real hcg after the orathin, because you will be very hungry for several days if you stop using it.

by onvibrate, Jun 02, 2007 12:00AM
i mean like ravenous all day hungry even still after you eat a lot. that's what happened to me anyway. hope you receive your real hcg soon!!

from the website............selling HCG

"AND WE AGREE.
hCG administration does not render  weight loss better than any other Very Low Calorie Diet.  

"HCGConsumer Alert !
Recently and mainly because of the success of the Kevin Trudeau book "The Weight Loss Cure" companies have been trying to deceive people into thinking that HCG comes in an Oral Alternative Format, THIS IS NOT TRUE!

These companies are only trying to manipulate people into thinking that they are affiliated to diet books, authors and other diet company's in order to try to trick the consumer into buying something that is not real, will not provide the same medical results, and could even result in a serious health condition.

This will be confirmed by disclaimers located throughout and on the bottom of those web sites stating that they are not affiliated to or endorse by the people or products that they are trying to promote.

Real HCG is only available in a format that is injected into the body.

I am sorry to report that after 4wks on orathin i am exactly the same weight. This is just like every other diet pill we have wasted our money on. I knew better than to order such an expensive product with no guarentee. I guess there truly is no quick fix for those last 10 stubborn pounds. Until then keep your hard earned money or spend it having fun! This product is bunk!!!

by fish4thecure, Jun 12, 2007 12:00AM
I read the "issues" above and thought I would add my 2 cents. I have used OraTHin for 12 days and have lost lost 12% of my 69 lbs of body fat. I lift weights instead of a lot of cardio and I started to feel more hungary than usual about day 4. I wrote NaturalCuresStore who directed me to Rexx labs and just upped my sP doasge accordingly. Of course you would feel hungary if you go off OraThin, that is what helps you mobileze fat and control your appetite. I didn't understand the sP at first but it works great. I feel great and I'm losing fat better than with any other diet.

As far as hCG goes, I guess I don't understand who thought they would be buying a prescription drug over the internet without a prescritpion- it says quite a few times in the response letter above "the natural alternative" and where to find the ingrediants. That's the reason to get it. It also says in Kevin's book that you just can't buy it in the US because of the FDA.

To: fish4thecure
I am not saying that some people won't lose lots of weight with these expensive pills. They will. Especially people who think they are doing the weight loss cure protocol with it and only eat 500 calories a day. Or those who lift weights. My point about being hungry when going off is that it acts just like dexatrim, which is a lot cheaper. The fat mobilization may be better than dexatrim, but it can't be releasing the problem fat deposits that only the hcg can release. The main point is that they are marketing to the people who sincerely want to do the hcg diet, and that is misleading. Some of us want the cure - not to keep doing different diets for the rest of our lives as it sounds like you have done a few diets yourself. Orathin is just one of the many diets that you will be doing, because it does not have the essential hormone needed for the cure. Their advertising that says its a "natural alternative" to hcg IS the MISLEADING part. And they say "without a prescription". Of course, because its L-Carnitine.
And you can so get hcg in the US. Read the whole book again. He said that if you can't find a doctor who is brave enough or knows enough about it to prescribe it for you, then you could go to another country and legally bring it over like he did. He didn't say anything about getting it over the internet.


Hope this helps someone!
