Does it Work? - Weight loss clinics?

Today I went to a weight loss clinic and i got phetriuem(sorry for the spelling) and a b12 with hcg injection. Has anyone ever been to one of these places and had good results. i not a fan of phet. so i will only be doing the injections. Thanks ahead of time

I dont think I have ever heard of a weight loss clinic. Who runs it?

it is ran by many differnet doctors, they check your blood pressure, and health then prescribe a appetite suppressant and give you a b12- hcg injection, that you go in every week to get. The clinic i went to today was super busy so i took that as a good sign

There has been many discussions about b-12 hcg injections in that they don't help weight loss. I would be very concerned about going to such a clinic. Also the fact that HCG is not legal for weight loss in the US.

About 8 yrs. ago I went to a weight loss clinic and had the B-12 injections plus was put on a thyroid pill and an appetite suppressant. I lost 30 lbs. in 2 months, and landed my butt in the ER passed completely out. I stopped their program after that. The danger just wasn't worth it to me.

I'm not sure where you guys are getting your info from, but hCG, with a doctors's prescription, certainly IS legal in the U.S. And if a person wants to find one, there are many reputable doctors and clinics that do support this protocol. It's true this protocol is not approved for weight loss by the FDA, but that doesn't mean it's illegal. hCG is not a drug, it is a hormone that is produced by pregnant women and is used legally in fertility clinics all over the country, but in much larger quantities than is used for weight loss. It's not unusual for a doctor to prescribe a medication (in this case a hormone) for a different reason, they do it all the time.

Here's the thing...If you are losing weight by eating less and moving more, than you don't need this protocol. My weight would not budge no matter what I ate or didn't eat. This is the only program that worked for me. I am now a size 10 and feeling good both physically and emotionally.

If you are struggling with your weight, I suggest you read Dr. Simeon's ebook "Pounds and Inches" it's a free download online. He explains exactly how and why this works. Also, his protocol is not new. This has been in exsistance since the 50s. And, for the record, NO ONE has ever had complications or died from it. EVER! Not one....(if there were, the FDA would be all over it and it would be illegal) Don't believe me? Do the research. The FDA and their groupies would have you believe it's dangerous. Which brings to my mind, Vioxx... Would you like to guess at how many people died from Vioxx, an FDA approved medication? (some of the FDA whistle-blowers figure as many as 60,000 people died) I suspect all those people who were suffering from arthritic pain really trusted their doctor and the FDA to give them a drug that was safe, instead they died, and the FDA made 2.4 billion dollars. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox, but I just get so annoyed over b.s. that isn't even remotely true. My point being, the FDA does not care about our health, we have to care about our health. I know how aweful and depressed I felt when I couldn't lose weight, and now the government is worried about hCG and my health? Paleeeeze....

If anyone is curious, there are well over 6,000 people successfully using Dr. Simeon's protocol and sharing their experiences on the Yahoo Forums. I can't post any links on here, but it's extremely easy to find if you know a little about navigating on the net. The men and women sharing in those forums are not liars, daredevils, ignorant, trying to rip you off or uneducated, and that is the truth. These are folks just trying to lose weight and be happy and healthy. I wish you all the same.
