The original work with HCG for weight loss was developed back in the 50′s by a British endocrinologist: ATW Simeons, MD. Personally, I think Simeons’ work was extraordinary and he was light years ahead of his time. His HCG Diet became known around the world in the mid to late 60′s, however, due to incorrect double blind studies, his diet became more of a ‘passing’ by the early 70′s.
Then in early 2007, his work resurfaced and over the past 4 years I have watched the evolution of HCG for weight loss unfold again. As the word spreads about its success the #1 question is: ” DOES IT REALLY WORK TO HELP PEOPLE LOSE WEIGHT?”… The Answer to that is ‘YES’ . . AND ‘NO’. . . . based on a couple of very important factors!
It works like nothing I have personally experienced with my dieting history nor ever witnessed in my wellness practice with my patients. However it has one main caveat to truly be successful: Modern day changes must be made to address the underlying health issues a lot of people have or they ‘crash and burn’ on the diet . .. . and consequently fail miserably. However, if a correct, proven HCG plan is followed and the right HCG formula is used, it can result in unheard of long term results. The problem I see is that the HCG Diet is being taken too lightly due to all the internet ‘webber’ sites and the internet “non-sense” price war that is going on with “HCG drops”.
I even found a professional Naturopathic doctor who has a wholesale website trying to sell a bunch of homeopathic HCG ‘bottles’, as well as a company that makes websites for chiropractors that has created a sister company selling HCG and their CONTACT US area says: “ASK AN EXPERT” . . . . an expert in HCG Weight Loss?. . . I don’t think so!
I know that I, as a Professional Naturopath and Nutritionist, have made sure over the years that I have had proper training and adequate knowledge and experience before I launched out offering new services to my patients . . . no matter what was being promoted on the internet. I am amazed at the number of professionals who are jumping into offering the HCG Diet without knowing what they’re doing. I”m concerned about the adverse effects it can have on the long term growth (or lack thereof), their patients’ results (or lack thereof) and that the HCG Diet as a whole, will eventually become a ‘passing’ like in the 70′s and get ‘thrown under the bus’ as another diet fad when in essence it’s not.
I encourage everyone considering offering the HCG Diet or who is currently offering the HCG Diet, get educated and get trained and you can have the most extraordinary diet business beyond your wildest dreams!
