Hello All! I have been reading on this forum for a few weeks now. Finally decided to join in. Many thanks to each of you for wonderful input and support for each other! AWESOME group here!!
I have done a search here to read what has been said re: the homeopathic sublingual hCG. The details for me tho, are still a bit sketchy. (...and apparently contriversial?) :) I chose to go this route because of the ease and convenience. Also, there is a well established Pounds and Inches clinic in my city -- and the homeopathic SL is what their clients have been using with amazing results. Currently, I am on day 10 P2 VLCD - and have averaged a "release" of .67# per day.
I have read that the homeopathic works with the body in a different manner than the other formulas. What does that mean? It is not my intention to begin a debate. I am interested in hearing from others using the hhCG -- and learning what your long-term experiences have been. What is your understanding of how it is different?
Mags, I have especially paid attention to your posts - because I gather that you too, are a fan of the hhCG!
All input appreciated!!
Keep up the excellent work guys!! -

Yes whispering is like a private comment. I haven't used the hhcg but from what I gather here on the forum it works just like the regular. Welcome!

I have been using the hhcg for 5 days now, hungry in the morning stomach is growling but I can deal with it. Lots of water.They have to be working somewhat otherwise I would have ate the couch by now!! I've ordered so that I can do sublin q this next time. I'll have a better idea here in a month or so. The hhcg are not bad though. -

Thank you guys!
I've been digging around on the net -- seeking info. I did find the following a bit helpful and decided to share here. I hope that I am not breaking any rules by copying and pasting. I removed any site-identifying info.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you prefer the homeopathic drops over the injections?
Most importantly, we have seen the same (if not better) great weight loss results (20-30 lbs in about a month) with the homeopathic drops than with the injections. Many people who have done both forms have reported less hunger and more energy on the drops than while on the injections. Some other reasons that I switched from injections to the homeopathic HCG:
legally ordered from a U.S. company where the “laboratory is a federally registered pharmaceutical laboratory in full compliance with FDA regulations governing pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities… All procedures follow strictly the guidelines set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, which is the official document governing homeopathic manufacturing in this country.” Many times homeopathic formulas are made by individuals literally in their back room with no regard for the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. Obviously, the quality and consistency of these individual operations could vary significantly.
shipped within USA (No more waiting 3-6 weeks for your HCG to come in from a foreign country)
easy to travel
no mixing
no refrigeration
no expiration date
no alcohol pads
no injections
more energy reported by some participants
less hunger reported by some participants
----------------------------------------------------------------
Is this ‘real’ HCG?
Yes, this is made from real, human form, HCG. It is a homeopathic formulation. The professional strength homeopathic HCG drops are made by starting with a small amount of HCG. Homeopathy is based on both physical ingredients that you can see and resonance/frequencies that you cannot see. These ingredients are put into a liquid, alcohol medium for preservation. While some homeopathic remedies do not start with the physical proponents, but only include the frequencies of the proponents in a formula, the HCG formula we handle does start with the type of human form HCG used for injections.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now, I will have to educate myself and the def. of "homeopathic". :) At this point, I am thrilled with my results! My concern is that of losing muscle. My plan is to return to my past passion of working out with free weights and I want to hang on to every ounce of muscle!
Hugs to all!! -

Sara, above post sounds just like a sales pitch any salesman would use trying to sale his product over another. It is not known hhow the hhcg effects muscle loss as there have been no medical studies on it. What we do know is that the prescription grade hcg does work as recommended by Dr. S.
Some have good success on hhcg, some do not. The results seem to be much more consistent across the board with the prescription grade. It is not uncommon at all to get weekly posts on this forum by people on the hhcg that they are starving and are frantic that it is not working. Usually when there is a post with someone starving and they don't know why, one of the first questions we ask is "what kind of hcg are you taking and what dose?"
As I said some do however swear by it and have good results. It is a judgment call on your part and you will have to decide for your self.
My personal opinion, (and please understand that is all it is), is why go to all the trouble and dedication this diet demands and use a cheap substitute that may or may not work, when you can get the real thing?
My apologies to all our sucessful hhcg users out there, 1 free can of Pubah Nectar has been donated in your name to my charity of choice, the GP Scuba Equipment Fund. -

You're just going to have to try it. Anything that is homeopathic is really "hit or miss" on how well it works for you. Because homeopathic solutions are extremely diluted versions of the real thing, your success will depend entirely on how sensitive your body is to such dilutions. I've only used hhcg so far and have done really well on it; no hunger, normal weight loss, no side effects, etc.
You can give it a shot, and if it doesn't seem to be working you can always switch to the prescription grade hcg. Some people have done that even if they're in the middle of a round.
Good luck!Thankful People: mikkydee -

Hi Sara. I've only just seen your posts (I am on European time and getting up when you're all going to bed etc.)
All you have said about HHCG reflects my personal experience with it. I can't speak too highly of the stuff! I've lost 42 lbs in 74 days and had no negative effects at all apart from being a bit hungry on the first day of this round and having a headache too on that day. I stabilized well after the first round, lost 9.5 lbs the first week on R2 and I averaged out at .56 lb per day over the entire dieting period.
I'm now on R2 P3 D4 and I'm enjoying having 3 weeks off the diet before going onto R3. I have further 32 lbs to lose.
I know that Cindi and Emmy-Lou have also been successful with the hhcg, so I'm not just a lone voice in the wilderness.I love it!Thankful People: Sara
