Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) Regarding the HCG Weight Loss Program

How does it work?

• HCG is a naturally produced hormone-like substance in pregnant women that feeds their growing baby by consuming existing stored fat.
• Researchers have found that by injecting a small amount of HCG, it can actually help the body burn more fat and can be used to aid in weight loss when combined with a healthy low calorie diet.

Will it make me feel pregnant?

• No. The amount of HCG injected is very small (.125 cc) and it is a hormone-like substance created during pregnancy, not a pregnancy hormone.

Is it safe?

• Yes. Dr. Albert Simeons, a British physician, has been successfully treating patients in Europe for over 50 years.
• This is not a new protocol; it has been tested for decades. Dr. Kamin is now following his protocol here in the U.S.

Is it approved by the FDA?

• HCG is available as a prescription medicine which is FDA approved for certain uses, but is not FDA approved for the treatment of weight control or obesity.
• Using HCG in dieting is considered an "off-label" use. Medications are frequently used "off-label" to treat conditions that are unrelated to their original indications, safely and effectively.
• Based on our experience, and that of other physicians who have been using HCG for more than 20 years, as an adjunct to a restricted calorie diet - we find it is completely safe and produces great results.

Are there any side effects?

• Several positive side effects are associated with HCG therapy. These include:
• No loss of muscle mass
• Normalize the thyroid gland
• Rebuilds the adrenal glands
• Balances the hormone output
• Redistributes fat where it belongs throughout the body
• Normalizes cholesterol levels, corrects high blood pressure and blood sugar imbalances in diabetics to where, most are able to get off and stay off of, their medications
• Normalizes appetite demands,
• Increased energy without the nervousness or feeling "jittery", clearer thought processes.
• Improved sleep at night, feeling less irritable and tightens skin as you lose the fat.

Is it Permanent?

• Patients that follow the protocol in a disciplined fashion and eat sensibly thereafter have experienced permanent body transformations.

Who developed this approach?

• This approach is based on the research of Dr. A.T.W. Simeon. His research is published on the internet and is called "Pounds and Inches" and can be downloaded at no cost.
• Many people have used this method to lose weight and keep it off. Recently, Kevin Trudeau published a book titled "The Weight Loss Cure". Kevin rediscovered Simeon's research and developed it further for today's diet concerns.

How long will it take?

• The program consists of four phases:
• Phase One and Two: Medical office visit with Dr. Kamin to review your overall health goals and concerns. Detoxification as necessary: 0-30 days, depending on the individual and their health. Diet Plan Discussion: 21 or 42 day regimen, depending the desired weight loss and your overall health. You and Dr. Kamin will decide together what are realistic goals for you.
• Phase Three: Reset Your Metabolism: You will be reintroducing foods to your diet to set your metabolism.
• Phase Four: Maintenance: You will be reintroducing the last of the foods to your diet and be discovering the new you. The key is the reset of metabolism. That's what can keep the weight off forever.
