Unfortunately, Marka has already stated that the staff doesn't -want- to shut down threads that only get bumped by people who want to tout the latest fraudulent miracle cure.

So yes, there -is- a way to get them off CD, but the admin has chosen not to.

I was at one of the malls here in CO recently and they had a booth in the middle selling HCG.

Crazy!

LOL. Im hoping that the person who is posting trying to market their HCG clinic comes back to see my post #22 above. Also hoping that it shows up if anyone googles that clinic.

HCG snake oil lowlife salesmen will learn not to prey on the good folk here at CD with their super pricey usless and potentially harmful HCG products. Also, they need to STOP trying to skirt the CD TOS and rules in trying to promote themselves, their product or their so-called clinic.

I HATE the people who push/promote this stuff.

If they tell you not to bother with the 500-calorie-per-day diet, then the shots have no function, even according to their own advertising (which is fraudulent).

There is NOTHING in the HCG shots that will curb your appetite, OR make you lose weight. Phentermine WILL make you lose your appetite, but it is also dangerous, can contribute to high blood pressure and cause palpitations, and is notorious for patients building up a tolerance and gaining ALL the weight back lost on it, once they stop taking the drug. It is also intended for short term weight loss only (up to 12 weeks, and ONLY if usual methods of weight loss - controlling eating habits combined with exercise) have failed.

There is nothing in Phentermine that will make you lose weight. Since you're already trying a lower calorie + exercise routine, then you don't need the phentermine. You're wasting your money, to get the same results you would get, if you didn't spend any of it.
First off I'm doing the HCG dissolvable pill under the tongue not the shots. According to the weight loss ctr the hcg purpose is it helps attack the fat stores. Very well aware it's the phentermine that is helping to curb the appetite. It takes less of proportions to fill me up. So far...and I've only been on it about 6 wks now I haven't had blood pressure problems or palpitations but like any medicines, some are susceptible to side effects while others have none. So far I've been lucky.

So far, I do not feel like I am wasting any money. The phentermine is doing what they said it would do (curb appetite) and the hcg may or may not be the sole reason my fat thus far is gone. I can only go by my research regarding it and what the MD said at my local weight loss ctr. The lipo is supposed to also attack fat stores and the B12 is just for energy.

I'm feeling better than I have in a lonnnggg while. I have lost 27 lbs in 1.5 months. My sleep apnea issues have gone away (that started after my weight gain). Today I'm at 168, down from 195 and I'm 5'6" to 5'7". So in MY situation, the rewards achieved so far are wayyyyyy more than the risks which again I've been lucky not to suffer the side effects that some have.

Long term? The office will probably only let me finish the month or when I get to my goal of 155 which I used to weigh back in the day. The paperwork they gave me states to set a number in my head either 5lbs or 10lbs or whatever and if you gain that amount back you should come back in to restart the program. Sooo, If I fail at keeping it off (which is likely as my genetic makeup thanks to my moms side of the family) then when/if I reach 165 I go back for the maintenance plan. My personal plan, is once I'm off the max 90 day plan and at my goal of 155 I will get back to running again but for now I'm just walking either outside or on the treadmill for about 1hr a day.
