HCG CLinics/ Doctors
Do you know of any weight loss doctors who are using/prescribing HGC in Maryland?
what is HCG?
First, let me welcome you to MedHelp and thank you for taking the time to post your question. I am unable to answer your question, however, there is some information I'd like to share with you.
According to Mayo Clinic, "Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Years ago, researchers studied HCG injections as a possible weight-loss aid. Results of most studies weren't promising, however. In fact, HCG injections seemed to be no more effective than were placebos in promoting weight loss. Today, HCG injections are primarily used to treat fertility issues."
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition came to this conclusion: "We attempted to answer one question in this study --- is HCG an effective adjunct to a rigidly imposed dietary regimen for weight reduction? On the basis of our results, the answer is negative."

Aetna (*******), one of many insurance carriers, has a Clinical Policy Bulletin regarding Weight Reduction Medications and Programs posted that excludes Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or vitamin injections for weight loss because it is considered experimental and investigational for weight loss.
If you'd like to lose excess weight, may I suggest you focus on the basics? Take an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine. Then make a commitment to improving your lifestyle. Enjoy healthier foods, and include physical activity in your daily routine. Remember, permanent weight loss takes time and effort. It won't happen overnight, but your hard work will pay off in the end.
There is no magic pill or diet or plan to lose weight quickly and safely. To be fit and healthy you have to eat healthy and exercise.
If you're hoping to lose weight, resist the lure of quick and easy solutions and focus on the basics. Take an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine. Then make a commitment to improving your lifestyle. Enjoy healthier foods, and include physical activity in your daily routine. Remember, permanent weight loss takes time and effort. It won't happen overnight, but your hard work will pay off in the end.
This community can truly help assist you should you elect to lose weight by implementing a lifestyle change. Please let me know if we can be of assistance.
If you elect to look for Hcg injections, you future posts will be better served in the Weight Loss Alternatives community.
