How HCG works;
    It is postulated that Obese persons, have a lesion in the ventrolateral hypothalamus that causes release of increased insulin leading to increased storage of fat.
    The Alpha subunit of HCG appears to act on the Hypothalamus to stimulate the decrease in the storage of fat.
    The Beta subunit of HCG acts as an Endorphin yielding a “runners high” leading to increased feeling of satiety  (decreased appetite) and a feeling of euphoria.
    Study the medical literature for yourself;  HCG allows patients to tolerate a very low calorie diet without the usual associated difficulties (Headache, irritability, Mood swings) but I use it in my practice for the most important reason, it prevents your loss of muscle. (the common problem of all diets leading to re gain of the weight lost, then more). 
    “I have used HCG sublingual myself along with thousands of patients treated in my clinics, and this works". 
"I  lost 45 pounds in 10 weeks and was pleasantly surprised at the simplicity."  No Headaches or irritability.

Why We Use HCG at Doctors Best

Now you can "Lose Weight Fast" without Hunger, without harm 
   At Doctors Best you may choose a diet without HCG, however I do encourage most patients to use it, HCG assuredly prevents muscle loss (with muscle loss you burn less calories daily; quickly you gain back more as fat than you originally lost in total)
   HCG will help you bear a very low calorie diet without headaches, fatigue irritability, and it does blunt cravings however, I use it specifically to protect your muscle. To block hunger, I utilize diet pills, vitamin-amino acid combinations, herbals, specially formulated meals and of course HCG.
   A conscientious doctor is not practicing “standard of care” by offering a diet pill and allowing you to starve your body; you lose lots of weight, but as both muscle and fat. The rebound weight gain that follows is due to your lower metabolic rate (less calorie burning muscle). Understandably, your fitness significantly deteriorates also from this loss of lean mass. 
   In an effort to protect this precious muscle, I have always pushed protein supplements because they assure required nutrition while keeping calories low enough to effect substantial weight loss. I do recommend protein supplements to all my patients however, I’m finding that when HCG is used, clearly less protein is absolutely necessary. Certain patients do refuse Protein Supplements, and in fact, despite my cautions, some choose to eat little if any nourishing food. In the past this would have invariably led to muscle wasting and lots of lecturing from me, followed by my insisting they add protein supplements into their diet plan. Today with the use of HCG in my practice, these patients simply don't show considerable muscle loss, and I rarely need to necessitate protein supplements. HCG has improved the quality of weight loss in my practice.

    My job is my passion; “to get you back to optimal health”.  I will never force you into a “one plan fits all” program. I will however, monitor you carefully, make adjustments, listen, offer educated suggestions and get results. We work with you individually to use what’s best for you.

History of HCG 
Described first over 60 years ago, the use of small amounts of the natural hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in combination with a low-calorie, low-fat diet was shown to be effective in losing weight rapidly in books and published studies. Injectible hCG is approved by the FDA for use in infertility, but has never been approved by the FDA for weight loss, however studies document thousands of successful dieters over several decades. The success seen in my practice mirrors the success seen in the landmark 1972 study by Asher and Harper, where subjects lost nearly 20 pounds in their first 4-5 weeks on the diet. What is most remarkable is the high percentage of fat loss and muscle preservation. 
And new research has been done using HCG in a sublingual preparation. Study patients, many of whom could not lose on any other diet, lost 30-50 pounds on HCG with approximately 80% of the weight loss being PURE FAT according to body composition analysis testing. Experts now believe that these low doses of hCG preserve lean muscle mass while aiding in the selective burning of fat when used with a low-calorie diet. The hCG may also trigger receptors in the brain for endorphins. This is the receptor that causes a feeling of fullness and satisfaction after exercise, therefore remarkably most patients had very little hunger while on the very low calorie diet leading to nearly perfect  patient compliance and success.

 Now the diet is very intense, and certain people should not do this diet: 
1. People with severe high blood pressure.
2. Severe Diabetics.
3. People who have heart disease or history of heart attack. 
4. People who currently have cancer. 
5. Other major diseases of the liver, kidneys. 
What is HCG?

HCG is the acronym for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a substance produced by the placenta  during pregnancy in huge amounts. It was discovered by Ascheim and Zondek in the urine of pregnant women, back in 1927.  hCG is one of the substances that regulate metabolism during pregnancy.

After its discovery, scientists tried to find a name for this substance, and when they observed that the administration of hCG helped to provoke ovulation in experimentation animals, they named their discovery Gonadotropin, that means it has an action on gonads (testicles or ovaries) and Chorionic because later it was found  hCG was produced by the Chorion of the placenta. 

Why should we use a "pregnancy" substance for obesity treatment?

This was the great discovery from, Dr. ATW Simeons:

The first report on the use of hCG for the management of obesity was published in 1954 by the late Dr. ATW Simeons, a British Physician practicing at the Ospedale Salvatori Mundii in Rome. 

Working in India, he noticed that the so-called "fat boys," who showed Adiposogenital dystrophy improved their undescended testis when they were treated with hCG. But he also observed that body fat distribution modified during the treatment course. Therefore he hypothesized that if those children were concomitantly submitted to a very Hypocaloric diet they could reduce their body weight, consuming the "fat on the move".

Later on, he extended his investigations to patients showing different degrees of obesity, and concluded that hCG might be useful for the treatment of obesity because;
Patients tolerated a Very Low Calorie Diet without suffering headaches irritability, weakness, so common to this approach for weight reduction. Maintenance period after treatment was more effective when compared with simple dietetic procedures. 
Weight reductions were more satisfactory than those obtained with Standard Hypocaloric Diets 
Patients lost more body fat (measured in centimeters) from those regions where adipose tissue accumulations were more conspicuous. 
He hypothesized that hCG acted at diencephalic level, modulating hypothalamic regulatory Centers, which were in turn responsible for the excessive fat accumulation as seen in obesity. 
Quoting Dr. ATW Simeons

The HCG +diet method can bring relief to every case of obesity, but the method is not simple. It is very time-consuming and requires perfect cooperation between physician and patient. 
Each case must be handled individually, and the physician must have time to answer questions, allay fears and remove misunderstandings. He must also check the patient daily. 
When something goes wrong he must at once investigate until he finds the reason for any gain that may have occurred. In most cases it is useless to hand the patient a diet-sheet and let the nurse give him "a shot".

The Oral HCG diet     Available at Doctors Best Weight Loss Center 
The oral preparation is actually given sub-lingual, placed under the tongue 2 times a day. Although HCG sublingual administration  has recently become popular, it has been in use for over 20 years. Papers published in major journals have shown it to be equally as effective to the injectable method and we note the same in our practice. Nonetheless 40% of our patients prefer injectable HCG. If you prefer it, we supply the medication, syringes and instructions for daily self administration; it’s simple, safe and painless. 
  At Doctors Best WeightLoss we have helped patients with failed attempts at significant weight loss coming from almost every diet doctor in the area, every diet chain and every diet protocol. We understand that any weight loss program requires strict adherence to the guidelines set forth. At American Physicians we stay on top of our patient’s progress and we get results. As of the date of this website launching 4/9/2010, virtually our entire client base has been generated due to word of mouth referrals. Come in and speak to our satisfied patients, we do it right. 
  As I state throughout this site there is “no magic pill”; fast weight loss requires maintaining a significant calorie deficit.  HCG, diet pills, and other adjutants, help you tolerate a very low calorie, low carb, low fat diet comfortably and accelerate weight loss; my compassion, my staff, and my whip, help maximize weight loss.

If this hCG diet works so well then, Why all the controversy regarding hCG in obesity treatment???

When Dr. Simeons published his discoveries in the Lancet, back in 1954, obesity was considered a matter of aesthetics, and obesity treatments were confined to the simple indication of "keeping the mouth shut".
After its publication, many Physicians from all over the world flocked to Dr. Simeons Hospital to get information on the treatment at first hand.
Unfortunately, many of them were guided only by profits, and when returning to their Countries they setup the so called "Fat Clinics", mushrooming everywhere. As a consequence of an improper management of the method, complications were reported. Therefore, in 1974 FDA stated hCG was of no use for obesity management because its administration rendered similar results regarding weight loss both in treated and non treated patients.

AND WE AGREE; We don’t dispute this general statement, however we offer clarification. Consider this most important take home message- All weight loss is not equal. One patient may lose 10 pounds, 5 pounds fat plus 5 pounds muscle; while another also lost 10 pounds but, 15 pounds fat loss plus 5 pounds muscle gain. The second patient is far better off, much slimmer in their clothes and much better equipped to burn calories and keep weight off due to improved body composition. 
Our HCG research and our patient results match, belly fat and thighs seem to melt away.  Clearly HCG treated patients lost more body fat than non treated patients. Obesity is a disease whose origin is a permanent disorder in the hypothalamic area, a region deep inside the brain. What HCG does is to render weight loss, safe and comfortable, and the maintenance period after the treatment, much easier to perform; they keep it off.
When evaluating the efficiency from any obesity treatment, we must assess whether the procedure decreases body fat to a greater extent when compared to other approaches. If I give a diuretic to the patient and request him to come back in three hours, and he has lost four pounds after three hours : does it mean that diuretics administration is an effective procedure for weight loss?  Absolutely not!!! 
Fat loss is the answer, not weight loss. “For this reason along with measuring weight, I regularly measure my patients Body Composition, allowing immediate intervention  if improvement isn’t continuous and optimal”. Val Manocchio MD

At Doctors Best Wellness we base our HCG Medical Weight Loss Program on the extensive research of world-renowned physician Dr. ATW Simeons. Dr. Simeons found that when combined with a specific low calorie diet, HCG can help safely speed up weight loss. HCG is a natural peptide which stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. HCG is believed to break down your abnormal body fat, causing you to lose inches. At the same time, it protects your body's good fat and muscle from depleting. That means that you can go on a low calorie food plan and lose weight with less of the typical problems such as muscle loss and sagging skin.
