HCG - Oral people - let me HEAR from you - please!!

[Paula Bolton]

I'm seriously hoping people can tell me how successful they have been taking HCG orally instead of by injections. The more my husband and I talk about the injections, the more he has to try and peel me off the ceiling fan!! I know, I'll admit I'm a HUGE baby and I have the utmost respect for diabetics, if for nothing else than for this reason alone. We are following phase one and doing well, but we need to get our order in for HCG and I would love to get it orally. However, I am hesitant to do that if it doesn't work correctly. I would hate to waste money after all the expense we have already been through now. (Not that I don't think it's worth it in the long run.) So please, if anyone has or is taking HCG orally and can tell me about it (success stories, web site where I can find it, etc.) I would be EXTREMELY grateful! Thanks for the help.

Congratulations Patti! That's AMAZING!! I don't see a lot of people on here saying how much time they have invested into the protocol and what they have lost. I LOVE to hear these stories, it makes me feel much better and gives me something to look forward to. I admire you for being able to take not one, but two injections a day. You are my hero - so I will quit whining and take my one little shot! Good luck to you.

Congradulation. I am so excited for you. Which cleanses did you do? Are you eating all organic? Are you hungry with the VLD in phase 2?

YAY Paula!! Overcoming our fears is very important!:):) You'll do well and lose plenty. (I answered your email elsewhere, so I 'recognized' you here!:):):) Glad to see your gonna give it a shot.. oh..tee hee.. "a shot".. :):):)

[Paula Bolton]

LOL Cherterr. I'll give it a "shot." Surprisingly enough, I haven't received my HCG yet........however, my needles got here THE DAY AFTER I ORDERED THEM!!!! LOL. Now all I do is sit and stare at them and wait until I get to use them. :)

Hi Paula -- just curious about your HCG injections -- did you receive them? Have you started them? If so, how's the weight loss going?

[Paula Bolton]

Hi Jimmy,
Nope, I haven't received my HCG yet. Still waiting. According to the web site I ordered from, they did ship it on the 19th but they say allow up to 14 days for delivery. So, I'm still waiting and plugging along on Phase one. So far I have lost 7 lbs and I am very anxious to start my injections. (Did I just say that?) LOL. My husband has lost 8 lbs and 3 inches just on phase one! I will post when I start the injections and let everyone know how it's going. Good luck to everyone!

I am fairly sure that hCG is only effective as an injectable. Think about it; the 500 calorie diet restriction is enough to make a person lose some serious weight and THAT is why many people have success with the oral form. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with hCG. The ingredients may be very good and healthy, but it is NOT hCG. Perhaps it is a fiber supplement of some sort. Although one could lose weight on a 500 cal/day diet the effects would be very disappointing because the purpose of the hCG is to target the fat stores that do not budge on low cal diets and it helps to reset the metabolism to that of a child so you don't gain the weight back. KT explains that very clearly in his book. For those afraid of injections please try to overcome your fear. I am an RN and would be happy to share my knowledge as a friend not a nurse (due to liability). Perhaps many of you would be more confident if you were clearly taught how to properly administer an IM injection the way nurses do.

Take care all!

Hi Rhonda,
I am taking the Oral Alt HCG. I actually thought I was taking an oral form of HCG until about 2 days ago. I am in day 18th I have lost 14 pounds. I want to start HCG injections.Do you think it will be a problem with me starting the HCG injections?

[Encouraged]

Hi Terry, I haven't seen any recent updates from you. Are you cont. on the oral or did you invest in the injections? Curious. I am on day 7 of oral and am down 8 pounds. Keep in touch.

Paula,
I am seriously thinking about trying the HCG protocol as described in Kevin Trudeau's Book, but i'm afraid of needles. How big are the needles you have to inject yourself with every day. And where do you inject them? Does anyone know where the best place to order the HCG is? I live in California and I don't think that there is a medical facility here for that. I would be very greatful for any information you can give me.
Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda,
I am going into my 2nd week of phase 2 of the protocol. Like you, I have ALWAYS been terrified of needles. Not just a little fear, but if I knew I was going to have get a shot, have blood drawn, etc., I would be so sick to my stomach that I couldn't eat and was so nervous that they always had to lay me on a guerney (SP) because I would pass out. So, imagine the difference when I take my shot now EVERY MORNING! The needles are VERY tiny and I do not feel it. I take them in the butt, rotating each side every day. NO PAIN.
I ordered my HCG from www.anabolic-pharma.com. It took about 18 days to receive it. I ordered the needles/syringes, glass vials, and bacteriostatic water from www.androusa.com. (Took 2 days to receive.)
I am on day 9 of phase 2. I haven't lost as much as I was hoping pound wise. 7 lbs lost but I measured Sunday and I have lost 4 inches in my bust, waist, and hips. So I am happy about that! I have kicked up my exercise this week and my water intake. Good luck and let me know if I can try and help you with anything else!

Hi Paula! I was just reading this and wondering what size needle you use? Do you use the longer 1 1/2" or the subQ with the little short needle? I've read confusing information about this. Also, what guage do you use? Thanks!
