Patient Informed Connt Form
HCG Weight Loss Program
Purpo:
This Informed Connt Form is intended to give fair notice of the requirements of patients eking to participate in the HCG Weight Loss Program at SFWHA, to fully disclo any risks associated with participation in the
H CG Weight Loss Program, and to obtain written “Informed Connt” from the patient to u ndergo treatment. Historical Applications:
HCG was ud in the treatment of obesity disorders by a British doctor and PhD. ATW Simeons of the renowned Salvator Mundi International Hospital in Rome, Italy over a 16 year period commencing in the mid 1950’s. Dr. Simeons concluded that H CG (“Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic”) Hormone when ud for weight reduction and concurrent with a regimented low calorie diet, not only resulted in significant weight loss from targeted areas where fat deposits were likely to collect, but also improved t
he lipolytic functions of the body when co-utilized with dietary protein sources. Dr. Simeons hypothesized that HCG, which is produced in the female body in large quantities during pregnancy and in quantities ranging anywhere from 5000mlU/ml to 288,000mjU/ml, had a significant role in not only producing a healthy placenta for the fetus to survive, but also had a role in metabolizing fats depos its from the mother’s subcutaneous fat stores as an additional food source for the fetus. Dr. Simeons theorized that by giving daily injections of small amounts of HCG concurrent with a controlled low calorie diet, that the HCG would mobilize the fat into the blood stream where protein and various enzymes could exerci their lipolytic functions (lipolytic means to break down fats usually for the consumption of energy: Dr. Simeons’ clinic had a 97% success ratio.
A number of medical authorities have since supported the theories advanced by Simeons. IN “Medicine and Science in Sports and Exerci” (19:5, c 179-190, 1986), Dr. Layman, MD Affirmed that the intake of high dietary protein (1) aided in the metabolism of the free floating fat, (2) enhanced incread muscle mass, (3) prerved protein composition in organs, (4) stabilized the blood gluco levels, and (5) enhanced the production of human growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Accord in J Am Coll Nutr 2004 Dec. 23
(6:Suppl) 631S-636S
Nevertheless in spite of the findings by specialized experts in the field of Preventative Health Care, the American FDA requires the following disclaimer:
“This weight reduction treatment includes the u
of HCG, a drug which has not been approved by the
Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective
in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There
is no substantial evidence that hCG increas weight
loss beyond that resulting from calorie reduction, that
i t caus a more attractive or “normal” distribution of
fat, or that it decreas the hunger and discomfort
associated with calorie restricted diets.”

Below is a list of risks and discomforts that may be experienced by a small part of the population, in particular, tho patients that are already predispod to allergies, the latter conditions caud by a hyper stimulation of the hormone heparin within the body. The patient should inform their primary health provider if any of the following conditions occur:
Allergic Respons
If you experience allergic reaction to other substrates, you may have nsitivities to HCG. It is required that you stop using HCG and report your allergic respon to you provider immediately. The following are signs of an allergic reaction:
∙Hives
∙Difficulty breathing
∙Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat
Before receiving HCG tell your provider if you are allergic to any drugs or medications or if you have: ∙ A thyroid or adrenal gland disorder
∙An ovarian cyst
∙Cancer or a tumor of the breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland
∙Undiagnod uterine bleeding
∙Heart dia
∙Kidney dia
∙Epilepsy
∙Migraines
∙Asthma
It is necessary for the provider to know the predispod pathologies in order to rule out conditions that may not be related to the HCG.
Also in allergic respons, the body overproduces fibrin which induces blood clotting, a potentially lethal situation. Call your healthcare provider immediately if you have any of the signs of a blood clot: ∙Pain
∙Warmth
∙Redness
∙Numbness
∙Tingling in your arm or leg
∙Confusion
∙Extreme dizziness世界最好工作
∙Severe headache
∙Naua and/or vomiting
∙Urinating less than normal
Less Serious Side Effects May Include
Less Serious side effects may occur from the change in dietary patterns, until the blood sugar levels stabilize. The less rious side effects include
弓箭手英文∙Headaches (diet related)
scarf什么意思∙Feeling restless or irritable
∙Mild swelling or water weight gain
∙Depression
∙Breast tenderness or swelling
∙Pain, swelling, irritation, or minor bruising at the injection site
Other drugs may affect HCG
There may be other drugs that can interact with HCG. Therefore it may be necessary to discontinue the u of certain medications and supplements. Tell your provider about all prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, and nutritional supplements you u. This includes vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, including medications prescribed by other providers. If it is deemed necessary to discontinue or reduce the frequency of u of a medication it is your responsibility to communicate and receive clearance from the prescribing provider. Do not start using a new medication without telling your providers.
Birth Control, Pregnancy and Breast Feeding
arthritisIf your provider recommends discontinuing oral birth control pills during the hCG Weight Loss Program, it is imperative that alternative birth control methods be ud responsibly. If you have any reason to believe you may be pregnant or become pregnant during your weight loss program contact your healthcare provider immediately.
It is not known whether HCG pass into breast milk, therefore breast feeding should be discontinued for the duration of the HCG Weight Loss program.
Mandatory Adherence to hCG Weight Loss Protocol
To experience success on the HCG Weight Loss Program, it is preferable that you follow the protocol explicitly. For obvious reasons, we do not warrant the results of its weight loss program due largely to off-site administration and patient impod application of the program.

You must eat to capacity for two days after starting the treatment regardless of how much weight you may gain in the process. You cannot begin a 500 calorie diet comfortably unless your normal fat rerves are reasonably well stocked. It is a fundamental mistake to start a 500 calorie diet as soon as the treatment starts, as it ems to take about three treatments before abnormally deposited fat begins to circulate and this becomes available.
Breakfast:
Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar: stevia may be ud.
Lunch:
1.Protein – 100 grams of organic veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab or shrimp. All
