FDA has banned Homeopathic HCG

Dear Customer, The FDA announced on Dec. 6 that homeopathic HCG will be banned and should no longer be marketed. Of course, we believe that homeopathic HCG and the Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol is both safe and effective, as Pounds and Inches Away has been in business since 2007 and has helped thousands of clients who had given up on other weight loss methods. Many clients have called wondering if they could still purchase the product and the answer is ‘yes’, but for how long, we do not know. I can assure you that many past participants, employees, and family members have acquired a personal stockpile based on past results and the desire to possibly lose weight again in the future. Our current stock expires in the year 2016. As you all know, our business was based on our passion to help people lose weight rather than our passion for any particular product. In our minds, we found only one method in about 35 years that we would like to be a part of, Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol. Consequently, we are exploring other avenues to offer this method to both past and future clients. A word of caution to those who purchase homeopathic HCG off the internet. Seven companies were issued letters by the FDA demanding that they stop marketing/selling homeopathic HCG. In order to get into compliance, some of these companies have replaced the HCG in their current HCG drops with a ‘new formula’ that has had the HCG eliminated. Following Dr. Simeons’ Protocol without HCG is so drastically different that we cannot comprehend a company simply ‘switching’ formulas. To embark upon a 500 calorie, or even up to 1000 calories, without quality HCG performing the function of releasing abnormal fat is unfathomable. This is being undertaken without years of testing (obviously) and can only be accepted as a substitute for the profit associated with HCG, not for the effect of the one and only HCG. Please consider carefully before switching to any method that does not include HCG as low calorie diets without effective HCG are more likely to enact starvation mode for weight loss, which actually is more likely to negatively effect your metabolism than possibly improve it as Dr. Simeons proposed after 20 years of working with the HCG Diet Protocol. I’m going to go one step further here and ask you to help us do something about this. Please go to www.savethehcgdiet.com where you can sign a petition that says: “We, the undersigned, call on the FDA to work with experienced, credible HCG diet experts that have had hundreds or thousands of documented HCG weight loss successes since 2007 with the HCG Diet Protocol (including experience with effective homeopathic HCG, HCG injections, and other HCG methods) to test, analyze, and closely document the success or failure of the HCG diet in a fair, unbiased clinical study under the strict guidelines of Dr. Simeons' original manuscript. If the work shows conclusive evidence of significant weight loss and overall improved health during and after the HCG diet, we request the FDA to consider classifying the HCG diet protocol as an effective weight loss method.” Signing this petition will only take a moment, but it will help so many people. Thank you in advance! Best wishes this holiday season, Pounds and Inches Away
