By other weight reduction methods the fat can barely be removed except for famishing a person. With the HCG-treatment according to Simeons the weight is decreasing day by day. Daily activities can easily be continued without feeling flabby, weary or becoming depressive. 18 ). hormone gonadotrophine chorionique, hgc, hormone gonadotrope
HCG is applied by nature itself since the dawn of mankind, every time when a woman is pregnant. The added quality of the HCG-method is that it eliminates the need to wait for pregnancy so that women and men can use HCG equally.
The HCG-method, in line with the natural function of HCG, by account of Simeons, collects fat from many adipose-cells, not just from the "easy" spots. That would imply that for the same reduction of weight the HCG-method will only economically collect fat from the face. This would avoid the dreaded "hollow face" even in the case of a very considerable weight reduction. hormone gonadotrophine chorionique, hgc
Repeated "scientific double-blind tests" could not prove a relation between the administering of HCG and weight loss 19 ). A complication with this kind of test programs is that the participants are "outdoor clients" that is you have no 24-hour control how strictly they stick to their 500kCal diet. Anyhow, the FDA (USA Federal Drugs Administration) concluded that HCG is of no use in the management of obesity in 1974. Other Administrations have adopted this conclusion.
Remarkably, the Simeons-Method is still fully alive, 25 years after that severe judgment. We guess two reasons for this vitality: 1. The resemblance between the tested double-blind model and day-to-day obesity practice is obscure.
2. Effects if any, of Weight Reduction Methods can easily be measured in pounds and inches and it is simple to check if the result is reproducible or a coincidence. Obesity management methods is "a cost/benefit oriented open market" where failing approaches sink as a stone and successful methods are favoured by the public. This is demonstrated by patients and friends who return in course of time for another treatment.
Recent research in the nineties with another double-blind program has shown significant results (see Belluscio 33 ) and, quite valuable, satisfied clients.
The patronage of the Simeons-method by the public seems to put official disapproval in the shade. hormone gonadotrophine chorionique, hgc
The treatment (3--6 weaks) includes injections and a cunning diet (= a rigid selection from common daily food, totalling 500 kCal) to prevent new fat to fill emptied spots at once. Of course a diet as low as 500 kCal without adjuvant measures cannot be kept by a person who needs to continue his/her daily efforts and to maintain social interaction. However this diet should not give a hungry feeling because of the circulating mass of nutrients released by HCG. This treatment requires appropriate medical qualifications.
The administered dosis, 125 international units /day is minimal in comparison with a stimulated- ovulation treatment (5000 - 10.000 IU) or with the production of the placenta itself during pregnancy, with a highest intensity in the 3rd month of at least 100,000 IU/24 hours topping one million/24 hours. Additionally the elimination halving time of HCG is short (about 33 hours for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection) thus a two-days dose will hardly give accumulation; stated differently: 3750 IU administered evenly over 35 days will give a very much lower hormone level than 3750 IU injected at once.
