When some of use think of a new treatment or product or method…they think of it as being “untried.” They fear side effects that haven’t yet made themselves known. This isn’t nuts. It’s actually a very sane way of thinking. Any new treatment or product is fine until one day it’s “pulled” from the shelf because side effects have shown themselves.
So refusing to undertake a treatment because it’s brand new is a valid philosophy. It is more likely that they will never undergo a treatment that will have drastic side effects without first having a warning of the issues at hand. If sticking to tried and true methods of treatment makes someone feel more comfortable then this is a good idea. They should continue to do it. But it DOES mean that these individuals will not be able to take advantage of the newest treatments and medicines that are dependent upon new research, discovery and/or cutting edge technology.
The irony of this philosophy is that many who dedicate themselves to it vehemently throughout their lives suddenly find themselves rededicating themselves to the effectiveness of treatments rather than the length of time they have been in use when they find themselves afflicted with a condition that isn’t responding to conventional treatment. There’s always some new treatment. Consider weight loss…there’s always a new program or product or philosophy out there to consider.
Many place HCG dieting in the realm of “cutting edge” and “recently released.” While it is the most effective on the market…it isn’t actually new. Many believe it is new because they’d never heard of it until recently. But the process was actually developed by Dr. Simeons (an endocrinologist) over 50 years ago. And it’s been providing quick weight loss programs with drastic weight loss results ever since. It’s just been limited to exclusive locations and the very rich.
So while fearing the use of a new product or treatment due to potential unknown side effects is not crazy…expecting side effects to show themselves after 50 years in use is a little extreme. It’s already shown its end results.
And the results are really terrific. They surpass industry standards for average weight loss. They offer an average weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per day. And maintenance success rates are high for those who fulfill the diet requirements according to the dieting protocol. This is said to be a result of the body’s renewed ability to treat fat in a healthy manner. Fat cells are absorbed rather than sticking around once they are empty (through dieting, etc.) Others believe it’s the dieter’s new abilities to cook and eat in a healthy manner that they learned while on the HCG diet.
The results are obvious. But the side effects aren’t obvious. But that’s probably because it’s obvious that there are no known HCG injections side effects. HCG is a natural element in the human body (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). It’s a hormone. Some professionals in the industry suggest that decreased levels of HCG are due to the widespread acceptance of an unhealthy lifestyle. Due to our bad behavior we require an outside source of HCG, one of our body’s natural hormones.
HCG injections side effects are very rare. Most of the side effects that have popped up throughout the history of HCG use for weight loss are actually not side effects of the HCG, but of the injections themselves. Some individuals just do not react well to injections and needles. The administration of injections by a medical professional decreases the risks of irritation from injection, but some people will not be able to avoid their natural reaction to needles.
But there’s even an HCG solution for those who somehow find that they can’t abide by the needles required for the HCG protocol as originally introduced by Dr. Simeons. There are now homeopathic weight loss formulas available that offer the same average daily weight loss results (1 to 2 pounds daily). And there’s no need for problematic injections.
