HCG is killing my loved one.

It started in 1950's with Dr. Simeon, who if you've read his brief on it "Pounds and Inches" actually makes some scientific sense, and his observations seem valid to be frank (http://www.poundsandinchesaway.com/dr-simeons-manuscript-hcg-diet/). A good read even if you are very against this diet - it does have some non-disputed take-aways.

Nobody has been able to duplicate his results. Enough said

That you posted "HCG is killing my loved one" is enough reason to get your mother off this stuff, even if it requires an interventionist. Seriously.

Do it now.

call the state let them do their job I wouldn't even talk further about it with your loved ones although be aware they will just find another way to get ahold of the stupid hcg...in any event maybe you can kinda lead by example and just invite them to do healthy things with you...the only way I think you will get them to listen is if you have a few other family members that agree with you.

UPDATE

So I did file the complaint and the attorney general started an investigation. My mom and cousin apparently found out today and have been sending my hateful texts and emails. My mom stated that she is extremely embarrassed, will be writing a letter to the clinic asking for forgiveness for my actions and helping the clinic write their appeal to the attorney general.

My mom is done with HCG now, so I guess that is a win but I have truly lost these two relationships. Sadly, they are going to defend that mess and joke because someone cared about them and wanted them to be healthy.

Good on you for being brave and doing what it took to fix this for your mom. In time, I hope you can get things worked out with her and your family.

Here is their website. Note the Dr OZ Keytones ad... :noway:

Oz originally advocated this *kitten*! He needs to be sued for malpractice & lose his MD license for all the horrible "advice" he's given people!

The cops are not meant to keep people from taking a legal product that makes them eat less. It is not FDA verified (for weight loss) but it is FDA approved= " those that meet certain conditions set by FDA can be marketed." (http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm281333.htm)

The use of HCG isn't illegal but it needs to be monitored by a doctor. Online communities say 500 calorie diets but your doc will never prescribe under 1200 because they could indeed lose their license (unless the patient is under medical emergency to lose the weight).

I may have some insight into your mother's perspective as I have completed and currently am doing a very low calorie diet with appetite suppressing drops (not HCG, but same diet plan and calories).

When something works it is very difficult to doubt the facts. When you step on the scale and lose a pound everyday you will be motivated to keep to the diet until it is over (and it does end).

There are enormous surges of energy and the product claims that your body is using 1400-2000 calories in stored fat it is burning to keep you nourished. The diet feels incredibily healthy and balanced when you're doing it. Basically there is no snacking or eating processed foods or oils. I would ask her why she feels the need to get the results so quickly? It doesn't sound like you are understanding why she is doing it, just that you want her to stop.

I would feel if my sister acted in the way you are acting that she is crazy and does not understand me. Your best approach is to outline why her diet is unhealthy from a strictly nutritional approach (not caloric because the diet's platform debunks that). Is she eating tons of sodium? not getting enough protein for her body size, etc. Those are what will help her understand why you are acting the way you are, from a place of love and caring, not meddling.

What! SMH, well - if you want to promote this hogwash find a private channel. This channel was dedicated to someone seeking help and not for someone who wants to defend this dangerous "DIEt". Obviously you are not doing the right research or are blind to the facts. If you were you would not be advocating such a dangerous idea. Also, you failed to read the health issues the mother was having as the result of the "DIEt".

This!!!

And what happens when you stop??? I bet $ it comes back!

OP give yourself one of these for me

I'm not sure it's the hcg... with you saying their is no actual doctor prescribing this, then it may not actually be a pure hcg formula. She could be putting something else into her body. Also, your mother could have other health problems that are just being brought out by the hcg. Idk, just a thought. I haven't heard of issues quite like this from anyone.
