HCG Description and History
Dec 9th, 2009 Posted in Holistic Wellness Center | no comment »Simeon’s “weight loss cure protocol” as outline in the manuscript “Pound and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.” It is the exact protocol being used by medical doctors around the world since the 1950’s with spectacular results. This phase is designed to stimulate the hypothalamus to release the secure fat deposits in the problem areas at an accelerated rate. This phase must be done for a minimum of 26 days and a maximum of six weeks. It is highly recommended to do the full 6 week phase, you will receive MUCH GREATER results. During this phase you should lose approximately one pound per day. You will be losing the secured abnormal fat reserves. You should notice a dramatic reshaping and resculpting of your body. Energy levels will vary among patients. Some will have high energy and others may be functioning at 50% their energy level. Hunger and appetite will be low. Many people see an improvement of other medical conditions and symptoms.
THE DIET
It must be noted here that Dr. Simeons believes you should gorge yourself for the first two days of the Oral HCG. Here is an excerpt from his book, “Pounds and Inches”:
“Patients whose general condition is low, owing to excessive previous dieting, must eat to capacity for about one week before starting treatment, regardless of how much weight they may gain in the process. One cannot keep a patient comfortably on 500 calories unless his normal fat reserves are reasonably well stocked. It is for this reason also that every case, even those that are actually gaining must eat to capacity of the most fattening food, they can get down until they have had their third injection. It is a fundamental mistake to put a patient on 500 calories as soon as the injections are started, as it seems to take about three injections before abnormally deposited fat begins to circulate and thus become available. We distinguish between the first three injections, which we call ‘non-effective’ as far as the loss of weight is concerned, and the subsequent injections given while the patient is dieting, which we call effective. The average loss of weight is calculated on the number of effective injections and from the weight reached on the day of the third injections which may be well above what it was two days earlier when the first injection as given.”
Day ONE:
1.Take HCG homeopathic 3x’s/day- first thing in the morning, before dinner, and right before bed. Three full squirts under the tongue. Hold under tongue for 1-2 minutes if possible. Do not eat or drink 15 minutes before or after the spray has been administered. Shake bottle before using.
2.Drink ½ -1 gallon of liquids if possible of water, tea, or black coffee.
3.Gorge yourself and eat as much food as you can throughout the day.
4.Do any of the items from Phase 1 as you choose.
5.Take your measurement and weight, it will be gratifying seeing the scale go down.
Day TWO:
1.Repeat Day One
Day THREE:
1.Weigh yourself immediately upon arising, after emptying the bladder, without clothes.
2.Take your HCG homeopathic three times a day.
3.Drink ½ – 1 gallon of liquids. Many patients are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements.
4.Follow the 500 caloric diet listed below for Phase 2 diet. Try to change up the choices. It is important to remember 3 ½ ounces of meat (weighed raw) two times a day and 1- 1 ½ cups salad or vegetables two times per day.
5.The fruit and breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
6.Avoid oils of any kind…internal as well as lotions, etc.
“Every item in the list has been gone over carefully, continually stressing the point that no variations other than those listed may be introduced. All things not listed are forbidden, and the patient is assured that nothing permissible has been left out. The 100 grams of meat must be scrupulously weighed raw after all visible fat has been removed. To do this accurately the patient must have a letter-scale, as kitchen scales are not sufficiently accurate and the butcher should certainly not be relied upon. Those not uncommon patients, who feel that even so little food is too much for them, can omit anything they wish.
There is no objection to breaking up the two meals. For instance, having a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or before going to bed, provided they are deducted from the regular meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day. In the beginning patients are advised to check every meal against their diet sheet before starting to eat and not to rely on their memory. It is also worth pointing out that any attempt to observe this diet with HCG will lead to trouble in two or three days. We have had cases in which patients have proudly flaunted their dieting powers in front of their friends without mentioning the fact that they are also receiving treatment with HCG. They let their friends try the same diet, and when this proves to be a failure- as it necessarily must- the patient starts raking in unmerited kudos for superhuman willpower.
It should also be mentioned that two small apples weighing as much as one large one never the less have a higher caloric value and are therefore not allowed though there is no restriction on the size of one apple. Some people do not realized that chicken breast does not mean the breast of any other fowl, nor does it mean a wing or drumstick.
The most tiresome patients are those who start counting calories and then come up with all manner of ingenious variations which they compile from their little books. When one has spent years of weary research trying to make a diet as attractive as possible without jeopardizing the loss of weight, culinary geniuses who are out to improve their unhappy lot are hard to take.

It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. It is important to buy grass fed organic beef. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed. The chicken/turkey breast must be removed from the bird. Some people do not realize that chicken/turkey breast does not mean the breast of other fowl, nor does it mean wing or drumstick. The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Cook or season with apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, or marjoram. Avoid oil, butter, and dressings. You may make a 1- 1 ½ cup salad with spinach or lettuce or cabbage and add one additional vegetable sparingly. For a hot meal you may saute a vegetable in water and add meat. You will lose less if you eat oranges,berries, Melba toast, and breadsticks. Buy organic everything. You may consume no more than 1 tablespoon of milk/day which can be added to your coffee/tea.

Side Effects
We have found in our office that many patients experience dizziness but have had no repercussions from these symptoms.
Day Four through Day 46
Follow the day three instructions every day for the entire course of treatment. In order to achieve permanent results you must continue the treatment exactly as described for a minimum of 26 days (which includes the two loading days, 21 days of HCG/500 calories, and 3 days to get the HCG out of your system) and a maximum of 45 days (two loading days, 42 days of HCG/500 calories, and 3 days to get the HCG out of your system). Instead of administering HCG homeopathic 3 times a day you now use it two times a day- first thing in the morning and last thing before bed.
The Simeons’s “weight loss cure protocol,” as you can see, consists of daily HCG combined with a very strict and specific food consumption plan. The specific foods cause chemical reactions in the body, combined with the HCG to activate the hypothalamus into releasing the secure abnormal fat reserves causing dramatic weight loss without the loss of muscle or structural fat. The amount of food consumed is approximately 500 calories. The reason for the very low caloric intake is that the body will only release the abnormal fat reserves after it has burned the consumed calories. Interestingly enough, eating lower amount of calories do not speed up the process. Eating smaller quantities of food actually stop the fat releasing mechanism. Dr. Simeons discovered that by changing the food, the fat releasing process is also slowed or stopped. For example, when Simeons added mushrooms or artichokes, even though they had the same or less amounts of calories, the fat releasing was slowed or stopped completely. This is due to unique chemical compositions in the food.
Plateau:
If you find yourself in a plateau which lasts 4-6 days without weight loss or if you have gained 4 pounds you begin the “Apple Day.” Apple day begins at lunch and continues until just before lunch of the following day. The patients are given 6 large (Granny Smith recommended) apples and are told to eat one whenever they feel the desire in the next 24 hours. During an apple day no other food or liquids except plain water are allowed. Drink just enough water to quench an uncomfortable thirst. Most patients feel no need for water and are quite happy with their 6 apples. The apple day produces a gratifying loss of weight the following day, chiefly due to the elimination of water. This water is not regained when the patients resume their normal 500 calorie diet at lunch the following day, and on the following days they continue to lose weight satisfactorily.
Added Notes:
1.We recommend you buying a mint/fluoride free toothpaste. The health food store does carry homeopathic toothpastes.
2.We have found when your body is under stress you WILL NOT lose weight.
The last HCG Homeopathic Day
On the day you finish taking the HCG homeopathic you must follow the diet program exactly. For the next 3 days you must follow the 500 calorie diet. This is because your body is flooded with HCG and it should take three days for it to leave your body.
If you have not accomplished your goal of losing all the abnormal fat that your body is storing you may repeat the entire protocol as many times as necessary. You must give you body a break for at least 4 weeks after phase 2 before you begin again.
