DOES HOMEOPATHIC HCG WORK?
By Dr. Kendra
Pearsall
Recently
Homeopathic HCG has become a hot new way
to lose weight. Part of the reason for
its popularity is that many people are
seeking to do Dr. Simeon’s HCG Protocol
for weight loss but are reluctant to
inject themselves on a daily basis with
the HCG hormone. In addition, the HCG
hormone is expensive, hard to locate and
requires a doctor’s prescription (or
ordering it from an overseas pharmacy
which takes 6 weeks to deliver if it is
not confiscated by customs officials).
Some physicians like myself, have discovered that people are getting comparable results using the HCG hormone injections. and the Homeopathic version of HCG. The difference between the two treatments is that the HCG hormone is made into a homeopathic remedy (diluted hundreds of times and potentized) so that it is an energetic imprint of the original substance that works in the body on an energetic level.
I know of at least once vocal critic of using Homeopathic HCG for weight loss. She warns her newsletter list frequently that homeopathic remedies only work by reversing symptoms and therefore is not applicable for weight loss. Indeed, classical homeopathy invented by Dr. Hahnemann in the 1800’s works like this: if you have a rash and itchy skin and you can try homeopathic Rhus Tox (poison ivy) and it can help your symptoms disappear. Homeopathy works by giving rememdies that would normally cause symptoms in a well person can cancel out those symptoms in someone with those symptoms. Strange but true.
So how would
homeopathic HCG
fit into
this method? It doesn’t. However,
Homeopathy works in
many ways besides
reversing symptoms. For example, there
is a type of homeopathy called
Oligotherapy which provides very small
doses of vitamins, minerals, supplements
and hormones
that can be very
powerful in nudging the body in the
direction of health. Homeopathy has
several
other categories of
remedies each of which has a different
method of action such as Miasms,
Sarcodes,
Liquitrophics, Hormetics Restoratives,
Allersodes, and Isodes.
This critic also
states that homeopathic HCG does not
provide enough HCG to actually work and
the only weight loss
that occurs is due to the 500 calorie
diet which will actually cause harm to
the hypothalamus for
being on a very low calorie diet.
This is not true. The studies that
compare those who go on a 500 calorie
diet with and without
the HCG hormone show
that those who take the HCG experience
little to no hunger, have a
resculpting effect on
the body, show more inches lost, show a
large decrease in emotional eating
and binge eating.
This proves that the HCG hormone has a
significant effect on the body.
Furthermore, those
who use homeopathic HCG also experience
these same advantages.
Sometimes I visit HCG Forums and see people posting messages that Homeopathic HCG does not work. I ask them if they have used it or tried it on patients and the answer is always “No.” I have not found a single critic who has had any experience with the Homeopathic version and I would love for any critics to show me their data if they have any that supports their views.
I fear that
this protocol, as miraculous as it is,
can be a bit cult-like and the people
who use it can
be quite dogmatic
about following it exactly as Simeon’s
wrote in his HCG Bible. To me, this is
dangerous, if we do
not want to stay in the dark ages we
always needs to be open to
experimentation and continual
improvement.
In my medial
opinion, there is much room for
improvement on Simeon’s protocol. In my
book on
Homeopathic HCG, I
have added suggestions to his protocol
to reflect what we know about
biochemistry,
physiology, physics and nutrition and
most importantly, natural medicine in
the 21st
century and I hope to
see his work continually improving as
science advances.
Does
Homeopathic Hormone treatment work? Yes
it works and it works well. I observed a
physician in
Scottsdale, Arizona for three months and
his specialty was using homeopathic
hormone treatment for
all sorts of hormone conditions. He had
a waiting list of 6 months due to
the efficacy of his
therapies with no side-effects.
We are
continually collecting data from those
who have done both the full strength HCG
and the
homeopathic version
and they are reporting to me that they
are getting the same results from both
versions. All the
health care practitioners that I have
spoken with who are using
homeopathic HCG
are also getting the
same positive results. If you or someone
you know has tried Homeopathic HCG and
would like to share your results with us
positive or negative, please take this
survey to help us collect research data.
